You Made Me a Superstar Chapter 240

   Isn't Chapter 240 an Oscar nomination?

   "Mr. Zhao, I have good news for you!"

   "Mr. Tom, what else is good news?" In just a few days, he fell from heaven to hell, exhausting Zhao Sicheng's high spirits and leaving him alone, for fear of hearing something bad.

   "Fatal Crisis has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Editing!"

   "What! "Fatal Crisis" was nominated for an Oscar? Isn't the box office of "Fatal Crisis" not too optimistic?"

"Yes, although the box office is not very optimistic, this film reflects the current environment in the United States very well. Yesterday, Congressman Sergey publicly praised it in front of the media. After a few members of the jury watched it, they also felt that the film was very good. Well, someone gave a very high evaluation, thinking that this is what the real America should look like. Also, they felt that the film's exposure to China's traditional culture and China's current situation was very profound and reflective... …”

"Of course, our company has also contributed a lot. Mr. Jims has been running around, submitting materials, and meeting with friends, so that such a nomination has been made... Although it has not been announced yet, as soon as the company receives news, I will notify you as soon as possible. you……"

  Life is so dramatic sometimes.

   These days, Zhao Sicheng, who has been banned from directing for a year, is very gloomy.

  Unwillingness, anger, despair, depression, anxiety...

  These negative emotions have been constantly emerging in his heart.

   He smashed many things in the house, and even the neighbors of the next villa could hear the roar of his wife clearly.

   He even donated a large sum of money to several colleges and universities in Laomei, and even left some relations with the Immigration Bureau, preparing to leave this country that disgusts him completely. Unless necessary, he will never come back.

   However, when he was about to sign, he received a call from Lao Mei.

   After receiving the call, he was overjoyed, the anger and humiliation he once had, seemed to have all vanished at this moment!

   He was almost frantic with excitement, laughing frantically across the room.

  Oscar!

Yes!

   His "Fatal Crisis" was nominated for an Oscar!

  Although he is not the first Chinese director to be shortlisted for this award, he is enough to shock the entire Chinese film circle!

  Where is the Oscar?

   That is a world-class film hall, and it is also the highest honor for a Chinese director.

  The mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way, and there is another spring!

   CCTV lobby.

   Since the Spring Festival Gala was held by China Central Television in 1983, it has been held for 25 consecutive years.

Over the past 25 years, on New Year's Eve every year, the whole family sits in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala and have a reunion dinner. In that era, it sent countless laughter and laughter to every family.

   It used to be the most anticipated TV program by the Chinese people.

However, perhaps the old artists retired one by one, perhaps the computer began to become popular in thousands of households, and the way for people to obtain information was simpler and more convenient, or perhaps the Spring Festival Gala program was really lacking in new ideas, starting from 2004. The ratings for the show are getting lower every year...

   The name of the chief director of the 2007 Spring Festival Gala is Shen Jinsong. He is 48 years old this year. He is one of the vice presidents of the Huaxia Directors Association.

   There is still half a month before the Spring Festival Gala starts, and the program of the Spring Festival Gala has basically been confirmed, but Shen Jinsong has been silently watching the stage, his eyes fell into deep thought.

"President Zhou, I think this year's Spring Festival Gala needs to be reformed, and it can't go on like this..." When Zhou Yilin and President Zhou came to the scene to see Shen Jinsong's arrangements for the Spring Festival Gala, Shen Jinsong said these words seriously .

   "How do you want to reform?" Zhou Yilin picked up the program and watched it for a while, then put the program list aside.

   "The Spring Festival Gala should be in line with international standards, what do you think?" Shen Jinsong said this tentatively.

   "International standards, do you mean the special effects of the Spring Festival Gala, or the equipment?" Zhou Yilin looked at Shen Jinsong's firm expression and pushed his glasses.

   "Last year, the ratings of Director Chen Kai's Spring Festival Gala set a new low... The lack of attractiveness of the show is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the Chinese people are somewhat tired of the Spring Festival Gala..."

"how do you want to do it?"

   "I want to invite a Korean star, Lee Do Joon over..."

"You want to invite a Korean star?" Zhou Yilin was stunned, then frowned: "The Spring Festival Gala did invite foreigners in the early years, but it was a foreign disciple of Mr. Ding Machun, a cross talk master... Li Dujun, a singer Bar?"

"President Zhou, Li Dujun is very famous in South Korea and has countless fans in China. Now is the time when the Korean Wave is surging. This is a new era. No one can go against the times. Chen Kai and Chen Director last year. The reason for the failure of the Spring Festival Gala is that it did not adapt to the times, and has been paying attention to those old-fashioned cross talk sketches... These things are indispensable, but they are not the expectations of the Spring Festival Gala ratings!" Shen Jinsong explained while looking at the Spring Festival Gala program list.

   "I will react to the head, but Li Dujun's appearance fee for the Spring Festival Gala is not cheap, at least 8 million!"

   "Don't you always want to reform? I think the direction of reform should be in this direction. You want the ratings, but you don't want to spend money. Isn't this asking the horses to run without giving them grass?"

   "Well, okay."

   Zhou Yilin nodded, then his phone rang.

   After answering the phone, Zhou Yilin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flashed a hint of disbelief.

   "What's the matter? President Zhou?" Shen Jinsong was a little strange after seeing Zhou Yilin's expression.

   "Director Zhao is here!"

   "Director Zhao? Isn't he banned now?"

   "His film "Fatal Crisis" was nominated for an Oscar for Best Editing!"

   "What!" Shen Jinsong's eyes widened, and his originally calm expression suddenly became extremely excited: "Is he really nominated for an award?"

   "Yes! Haha, just in time, the three of us went to the relevant department to meet the leaders, just to talk about the lifting of the ban and the reform of the Spring Festival Gala!"

"Row!"

   "The lifting of the ban this time should be a sure thing, congratulations, Director Zhao..."

"Haha, I haven't won the award yet, so don't rush to congratulate. I didn't want to come here, but I think I'm from China, and I've been in China for so many years. , it is equivalent to one less movie... I hope the leaders can seriously consider the ban..."

   "Don't worry, the leaders are most interested in talents. This time you won the nomination award, the leaders will definitely consider it carefully!"

"hope so!"

  People feel refreshed on happy occasions.

   A few days ago, Zhao Sicheng was quite disappointed with the relevant department and hated it, but now, when he stepped into the hall of the relevant department again, his face was full of smiles.

   He followed Zhou Yilin and Shen Jinsong into Xu Kangnian's office again.

When Xu Kangnian saw the three of them, a hearty smile appeared on his face, and he even shook Zhao Sicheng's hand very seriously, said a lot of words of encouragement, and then asked them to wait in the office. He personally went to see the leader Li Re, discuss the lifting of the ban.

   After waiting in the office for two hours, they saw Xu Kangnian walking over with a gloomy expression.

   "Xu Ke, how is it? Did Bureau Li pass?"

   "No..." Xu Kangnian shook his head.

   "What? Why? Could it be that I'm already like this, and I still can't get the ban lifted? If that's the case, it's too chilling!" Zhao Sicheng became excited, and Zhang Jianguo next door heard his voice.

"Officer Li has the arrangement of Bureau Li, you should be calm and don't be impatient. You go back first and wait for the news. I will chat with Bureau Li again, Director Shen, I already know about your Spring Festival Gala reform proposal. Bureau Li generally agrees, but The specifics have to be discussed at a meeting, you should go back first..."

   "Xu Ke, I think this matter should be put on the agenda. Director Zhao is an excellent director, and the Oscar nomination this time is a matter of honoring the country!" Zhou Yilin looked at Xu Kangnian with a frown.

   "President Zhou, I know, this matter is a long-term plan, and I will talk about it at the meeting tomorrow..." When Xu Kangnian faced Zhou Yilin, a smile appeared on his face and a few words of relief.

   Zhou Yilin and Shen Jinsong nodded, left the office with a smile, and walked out of the relevant department.

   However, Zhao Sicheng, who was following behind them, hesitated for a moment.

   "President Zhou and President Shen, let's go first... I still have some things to do."

   "Director Zhao, don't be impulsive."

   "It's okay, I'm not impulsive, just say a few words, don't worry, I'll count."

"it is good!"

After seeing Zhou Yilin and Shen Jinsong leave, Zhao Sicheng turned around and went back to the office. He took out the documents and took a deep breath in Xu Kangnian's surprise: "Xu Ke! This is my immigration information, I To be honest with you, I will apply to the US Immigration Bureau in a few days... This time, whether I win the Oscar or not, it will prove my international directorial level, if it is not a last resort, and if it is not something It's too chilling, I won't leave my motherland... Banning directing for one year has had a huge impact on me. How many years are there in my life? I don't want to be forced to leave..."

   "Go back first, I will handle this matter, don't be impatient." The smile on Xu Kangnian's face suddenly disappeared.

   Although he was a little partial to Zhao Sicheng in his heart, the threatening tone in Zhao Sicheng's voice made him feel harsh, but he still said these words patiently.

"Okay, um... I'm sorry, Xu Ke, I'm a little harsh, but I really can't be banned for a year now, and I'm so unwilling... A year, I can make a movie ..." Zhao Sicheng looked at Xu Kangnian, he also realized that his tone seemed to be rushed, he lowered his head, his voice was full of sadness.

   "It's alright, I can understand, let's go back first, have a good rest today, I've seen you haggard a lot recently."

   "Okay, I believe Xu Ke's fairness and justice will definitely give me justice!" Zhao Sicheng said gratefully.

Just when he picked up the documents and was about to leave, he suddenly heard footsteps, accompanied by footsteps, and an emotionless voice: "Director Zhao, I want to ask you, you can't be banned from being a director, don't you? Do other directors deserve to be banned for so many years?"

   After hearing the sound, Zhao Sicheng turned his head subconsciously, but saw Zhou Yang standing at the door watching him.

   He took a deep breath, his expression was cold, and the flames in his heart suddenly grew: "Zhou Yang, what do you mean by yin and yang?"

"It doesn't make any sense, I just happened to pass by here and just heard what you said, I couldn't help but say a few words..." Zhou Yang glanced at Zhao Sicheng, then looked behind him: "Director Zheng, let's go over there. , Zhang Ke has been waiting for us for a long time..."

   Zhao Sicheng trembled with anger: "What are you, you have made a few movies and got a few box office tickets, and you really treat yourself as a character!"

Zhou Yang, who heard the voice, stopped, and then continued to look at Zhao Sicheng blankly: "I should be Director Zhao, or an Oscar nominee who treats myself as a character, isn't it? As for such a hard-working person, using chicken feathers as arrows? Are you really the only director of Huaxia? If Huaxia leaves you, the film industry will not turn?"

   Zhao Sicheng laughed in anger: "Isn't it an Oscar nomination? Hehe, Director Zhou, you are amazing, why didn't I see you come back with a nomination?"

   Zhou Yang, who was about to enter the office, stopped, and then still looked at Zhao Sicheng blankly: "See you Oscar!"

After    finished speaking, he walked into the office, leaving Zhao Sicheng with a confused look.

What?

  What is Oscar?

  Is it possible...

   As soon as he learned about his nomination, he was very excited. He called around to talk about the lifting of the ban, and wished to announce it to the whole day immediately.

  This is an Oscar, not a cabbage. Never in the history of Chinese films has two Huaxia directors been nominated in the same year...

   The third one is delivered to…
