Chapter 434 New History
Chapter 434 New History
In China, there are many film critics like Lin Hua who are closely following this year's Oscars. The reason is very simple - this is the first time in nearly a hundred years that a Chinese actor has been nominated for an Oscar, and has a great chance of winning, so of course they will pay attention to it.
In addition to film critics, various media, fans and onlookers have also paid unprecedented attention to tonight's star-studded Oscar night - even the time difference of more than ten hours cannot affect their enthusiasm.
Therefore, as soon as the Best Actress award was announced, all kinds of articles immediately emerged on the Internet, with each headline more sensational than the last. The fanfare was even greater than when Su Lingxi was named the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.
[Historic moment! Su Lingxi won the first Asian-American Oscar for Best Actress! ]
[Hollywood Flying: Freedom Road won 10 out of 6 nominations and finally became the biggest winner of the Oscars! ]
[Looking back at this year's Oscars, the glorious moment for Chinese filmmakers...]
Looking around, there are endless posts like this on the website. Titles like "the first Asian" and "the pride of Chinese" are thrown at Su Lingxi as if they were free. The compliments between the lines are so exaggerated that even fans can't help blushing after reading them.
"Every day there are celebrities releasing press releases saying they are making history, but this time Sister Su is the one who is truly making history..."
"I originally thought the Oscars were just using her as a shield, but I didn't expect those foreigners would actually give her the award!"
"It's amazing. This is the first time I see Chinese people standing in the center of an event like this. It makes my blood boil."
"Sister Su's acceptance speech was so tear-jerking that I cried through a whole pack of tissues at home [Picture]"
"Although I expected it, it still felt incredible when this scene actually happened before my eyes..."
"+1, but I have an inexplicable feeling that 'if it's Su Lingxi, then anything is possible.'"
"Fuck, I really witnessed history!"
"The most terrifying thing is that Su Lingxi is only 25 years old now! Whose life is this Oscar statuette?"
"This is not just the top of the 00 flower, this is the top of the entire domestic entertainment industry, right?"
"Oscars are everything. Sister Su's current status is far better than other stars in the domestic entertainment industry, okay? Who would care about those same generation girls who are still playing in ancient idol dramas?"
"Come on, this is an Oscar! It's not some fake foreign award. Whether it's trophy resume or box office performance, Lingxi is now the number one in the domestic entertainment industry regardless of gender."
"The truth is, please know: Freedom Road box office revenue is 15.3 billion US dollars, ranking third in the world."
“I don’t understand why Americans like her so much.”
"Congratulations Lingxi~ By the way, I'd like to promote the lucky draw post I opened next door. I'm going to draw 100 52s. Anyone who hasn't talked to me before can participate~"
The carnival is going on in the domestic forums, but on the other side of the ocean, some people are completely broken down because of the ownership of the little golden man.
"I really doubt that everything in the past few months was just a dream." Verina Melode, who was not invited to the Oscars, was sitting in front of the TV and drinking alone. "Do you understand what I mean? Phoebe, she is just an Asian girl with black hair and yellow skin - no, I'm not racist, it's just - why does she have the right? Is she a Chinese princess? You know, no one in Hollywood has ever won an Oscar so easily, not even Anita!"
Different from her elegant image on the screen, Verina never hides her temper in front of her agent.
But at this moment, her tone was not only angry, but more panic.
Yes, panic - they were rivals who came to the US market in the same year, she had a more superior racial advantage, and she was the one who had the upper hand between the two at the beginning...but now everything has changed.
If two months ago, she could still find ways to comfort herself, then at this moment, looking at the glittering little golden man, Vina was extremely aware of the gap between herself and Nicole, which was like the Mariana Trench.
The other party won the Cannes, Golden Globe, and Oscar, but what about her?
After two years in Hollywood, he didn't even get an invitation to an Oscar.
A simple comparison makes the difference obvious.
What's even more tragic is that even though Verina is always proud and arrogant, she has to admit that after tonight, Nicole will be able to firmly secure her position as the number one actress in her 20s. Whether it's the trophies she's won in the past few months or the box office, she can't catch up with them even if she flatters herself...
It's more like fear than panic.
She was afraid that Nicole would step on her feet for the next ten years, and she was even more afraid that she would only be able to act in movies from scripts that Nicole didn't want...
"Calm down, girl. This isn't surprising news. You should have realized this the moment Joanna was eliminated, right?" Phoebe was also surprised, but she was older and much calmer than Verina. "Nicole performed brilliantly last year. Anita stole her role but accidentally underperformed. If the Oscars want to maintain its credibility, they can't give the Best Actress award to anyone else."
"Oh, so what you mean is that her performance convinced all the judges and made them want to vote for her?" Verina raised her voice unconsciously, her beautiful eyes full of grievance, "But - why? Why is she the only one who can succeed? I don't think her acting skills are really much better than mine."
Phoebe sighed softly as she looked at the frown that hadn't relaxed since half an hour ago.
Once in France, the name Verina Meraud represented strength and high reputation, and was affectionately called the "art film goddess" by many fans.
But after coming to Hollywood, everything changed dramatically.
An art film adapted from a famous novel and a commercial film used to test the waters, both ended in failure.
After two consecutive movies failed, they were able to get fewer and fewer film contracts - in Hollywood, there were countless actresses waiting to squeeze them out, and there were even more actors with better acting skills than Verina and lower pay.
Not many film producers are willing to give them a third chance.
For those people, making movies is not art, but just a means of making money.
Also because of the difference in concepts, even if there is no film to shoot, Verina would not stoop to please those businessmen who are full of money.
Phoebe knew very well that if it weren't for her friendship with Anita, they would probably have been forced to return home last year.
