Chapter 1061: The Hero’s Decline

After the award ceremony, Hao Yun couldn’t leave at all.

The media surrounded him in three layers.

“Felix, you won the Best Director and Best Actor awards. How do you feel now?”

Such questions are basically asked by foreign media.

“I am very excited and happy. Thank you to the jury and the fans.”

Hao Yun held An Xiaoxi in his arms. You can touch him, but you can’t touch his wife.

As for Rosamund Pike, she only won the Best Supporting Actress award and received far less attention than Hao Yun.

Even Nolan, who won the Best Picture, was not as popular as Hao Yun.

“What do you think made you the first Asian American actor to win the Best Actor award?”

“Work hard! Work hard!”

Hao Yun looked serious. In fact, he knew what the other party really wanted to ask, which was clear from the deliberately enunciated word “Asian”.

No one can compare to him in playing dumb.

Moreover, there is nothing wrong with this reason: he became the first Asian and Chinese actor to win the Best Actor award through his hard work.

Hao Yun and Paramount bought countless press releases, intending to vigorously publicize Hao Yun’s struggle history.

It’s really more exciting than ordinary movies.

If it is filmed, it will probably be as good as “Forrest Gump”, “The Pursuit of Happyness” or “Rocky”.

“Hao Yun, do you have anything to say to your fans in China?”

The familiar and kind voice made Hao Yun stop immediately.

“Thank you to my fans for your long-term support and love for me. I feel that I have lived up to everyone’s expectations of me…”

Hao Yun responded in Chinese with real emotion.

Although everyone calls him Hao Gou, that doesn’t mean he is a black fan.

On the contrary, we call him that because we love him.

Otherwise, how do we explain the fact that his movies always achieve super high box office?

“So, will you make Chinese-language films in the future?”

The media from China really want to confirm this matter. Although Hao Yun has repeatedly stated before that entering Hollywood does not mean giving up the Chinese film market, things are different now. Hao Yun has already won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Actor.

Under normal circumstances, there is nothing in the Chinese film industry that can attract him, whether it is awards or box office.

“Of course we will. In fact, I will go back with Xixi tomorrow and we will work together on a love movie.”

“Love Is Not Blind” is not about to start filming, but has already started filming.

We are currently filming the parts without Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi, and they will join the crew directly when they return.

Now Hao Yun is making movies to save time.

Usually he would assign tasks to his assistant directors, who would complete them according to Hao Yun’s requirements.

This not only saves time, but also energy.

“Hao…Hao Yun, you have now made it through both the Chinese film industry and the European and American film industry… What do you think…”

The reporter almost called out Hao Gou.

I feel extremely guilty.

It’s really unprofessional and I’m really not worthy of my diploma.

“Wait a minute, I didn’t clear the level. Whether it’s the Chinese film industry or the European and American film industry, I’m just a young man who has a little more luck, but my ability and achievements are not outstanding. I still have a long way to go.”

This reporter is a bit bad.

Don’t think I don’t know what you want to shout.

People who shout “Hao…Hao Yun” in front of someone’s face basically omit the word “dog”.

It’s just too much.

“This is the Oscar for Best Director and Best Actor. If this doesn’t count…”

The reporter was not convinced and felt that Hao Gou was too fake.

“Awards are only part of the evaluation of a film. The audience and time have the final say on whether a film is truly good. I think I can still make films for another 60 years. If I make two films a year, I can make more than 100 films. So there is no need to make a conclusion too early.”

Hao Yun said faintly.

Since the birth of film, David Griffith has made more than 400 films in his lifetime, although most of the films at that time were 15 to 25 minutes long.

Wang Jing, a well-known figure in the Chinese film industry, has directed more than 120 films.

From the current perspective, as long as he keeps shooting, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Wang Jing.

“What if you are awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award?”

The reporter thought he was very humorous, and Hao Yun wanted to hit him, but he said calmly: “I am less than 30 years old, so I won’t be given a ‘lifetime’ achievement award for the time being.”

I’m still a kid.

Hao Yun was interviewed at the Oscars and then attended a celebration banquet hosted by Paramount. The title of “Oscar Best Actor” has become a hot topic in China.

Bo Zai Da Xia: Oh my god, the best actor!

Deep Blue Ocean: Damn, the best actor!
Bookish2015: Is this true? The Oscars actually gave the Best Actor award to a Chinese actor. Could it be that Hao Gou secretly changed his nationality?

Fenaxia: The Best Original Screenplay Award, the Best Director Award, and the Best Actor Award. Xixi’s face is almost broken by his kisses.

His surname is Teng, not Tong, and certainly not Peng: I suddenly feel that Hao Gou is a bit handsome.

The foodie never changes: He’s an Oscar winner. We really can’t call him “Hao Gou” anymore. Otherwise, foreign netizens will come and see that we are treating an Oscar winner like this, which is really not a decent thing.

Why are you so excited: An Xiaoxi, you’d better leave Hao Gou. You are no longer worthy of him, the Oscar-winning actor. I advise you to be sensible and come to me.

Bofan: That’s right, Hao Gou, don’t come back. I will take care of your wife and children.

Bodhi No Regrets: Judging from the reactions at the event, there is nothing wrong with Hao Yun receiving this award, and everyone seems very convinced.

Crying Blood Sword: He performed Chinese Kung Fu at a concert at Miguo before, and who would dare to disobey? This scheming bitch has a purpose for everything she does.

Evening glow: Hao Gou is a winner in life, with a successful career, tons of money, and a lovely wife and daughter.

垍щǒ: Why don’t you thank your mother-in-law? Is she not charming enough? I think I can. Let’s talk about our own things. I call you Hao Gou and you call me Lao Zhangren…

The child who loves to ask questions: I have a son, Hao…Brother Hao, why don’t we become in-laws.

With heated discussions online and crazy publicity from various media, the news of Hao Yun’s great success at the Oscars was almost known to everyone.

It’s even more exciting than winning the Nobel Prize.

Not to mention contributions—celebrity are certainly not as good as scientists—but getting an Oscar for Best Actor is certainly no less difficult than getting a Nobel Prize.

After all, culture is one of the most heavily guarded areas there.

Therefore, most domestic media praised Hao Yun’s trip to Hollywood.

Only some official media are still watching.

After all, it’s unprecedented for a young Chinese director to go to Hollywood and win the Best Director and Best Actor awards, so it’s hard to say how to report it.

Moreover, if this side gives a positive response, he will change his nationality.

It will be a really bad ending then.

From the time Hao Yun received the award to the time he landed at the Capital International Airport, he never stopped answering calls, except when there was no signal on the plane.

It was much more exciting than when he won the Golden Lion Award.

Even Li An, a veteran, called.

Frankly speaking, Li An felt that he was still three years away from turning sixty, but he already felt like a hero in his twilight years.

It was like an era that originally belonged to him, rolling away in the ruthless passage of time, leaving only a gradually fading mark of glory. He called to congratulate Hao Yun and also to ask about Hao Yun’s future plans.

He hesitated for a long time and couldn’t say anything else.

Ever since filming “The Ring”, Li An has fallen into a creative bottleneck and he hasn’t released any works for several years.

Seeing Hao Yun making three or four movies a year, this bottleneck further turned into a chain, wrapping around Li An’s neck in circles, making him feel very suffocated.

He even found Hao Yun’s works and watched them one by one.

If anyone outside knew about this, they would probably deify Hao Yun.

He is Li An.

Who is he? He is the number one in Chinese-language films.

He is the only international director who can perfectly master Eastern and Western cultures.

However, this is the fact.

He watched Hao Yun’s movies and was crazy about getting the “Life of Pi” that was on Hao Yun’s shooting schedule.

I don’t know how Hao Yun wrote the script, and it will not be made public, but it is not difficult to find and read the original novel by Yann Martel.

Li An felt that if he were to direct the film, he would be able to do a better job.

However, an inexplicable sense of self-esteem prevented him from saying it.

So we can only congratulate Hao Yun dryly on receiving Oscar recognition and wish him all the best in his future career.

After hanging up the phone, Li An thought for a long time.

He finally admitted that Hao Yun was not much worse than him now.

Indeed, there weren’t many strong contenders at this year’s Oscars. The popular “The Social Network” was unsurprisingly not well received by the Oscars, and the slightly more competitive “The King’s Speech” also failed to win any awards due to the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

Hao Yun was able to win so many awards, which made him a great talent among short men.

However, how much can Li An do at the 78th Academy Awards, where he won an award for Brokeback Mountain?
Whether it is “Capote” or “Crash”, or many other movies such as “Good Night, and Good Luck”, “Munich”, “Walk the Song”, “Memoirs of a Geisha”, etc., there is nothing that can beat them.

The global film industry is in decline, and many masters are retiring one after another.

Commercial films are rampant, gradually squeezing the soil for the birth of masterpieces.

If the subject matter of “Brokeback Mountain” was not appealing, Li An might not even have won.

In fact, some media outlets that dared to speak out did compare Hao Yun and Li An as soon as possible.

These two Chinese directors, who have both achieved success in Hollywood, have many similarities.

So much so that when people think of Hao Yun, they will think of Li An.

Similarly, when talking about Li An, I wanted to bring Hao Yun out for analysis.

Especially this time Hao Yun swept the Oscars.

Everyone suddenly realized that Hao Yun was no worse than Li An.

This time, Hao Yun won by relying on the quality of the film itself.

He didn’t make any flattering films.

“Manchester by the Sea” is very consistent with the emotional identification of Europeans and Americans, but this kind of identification is common to all human beings and does not violate the Chinese culture itself.

This is very rare.

However, Li An’s films are very secular and love to find explosive points.

For example, Brokeback Mountain caught the outbreak of homosexuality in the West and tried to please Hollywood; The Ring borrowed the name of Eileen Chang and the literature of the Republic of China, but it was actually…

A special topic area also appeared on Heimi Weibo.

Discuss Hao Yun and Li An.

If it were said that there was no official Weibo fanning the flames, even Hao Yun, the boss, would not believe it.

There was no other way, Li An once tried to get the boss’s wife to shoot a pornographic film.

There was no need for Hao Yun to say anything, as these people in the company would not miss any opportunity to drag down Li An.

Only after Hao Yun landed did he start opening the treasure chest.

In fact, his hope is that if he opens a treasure chest on the land of China, he will be able to get the best Chinese script.

Hollywood is indeed stronger than the Chinese film industry.

But if he could get a good Chinese script, Hao Yun could definitely take Chinese films to conquer Hollywood.

But it’s a pity.

Hao Yun’s idea did not come true.

The system seemed powerless, and three treasure chests yielded six scripts.

They are “The Fallen Judgement”, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”, “Dangal”, “The Platform”, “Zootopia” and “Predestination”. Hao Yun evaluated them and, having seen many good scripts, he did not think these six scripts were any good.

Obviously, it does not meet the identity of one top-grade and two best-grade products.

At least two of the top-quality treasure chests were a real disappointment.

It’s like taking off your pants only to find out that the video playing is “Tom and Jerry”.

However, the fixed attributes given are indeed very generous, and I feel that this is a kind of compensation.

The top-quality treasure chest gives 20 points of screenwriter attribute.

The best director’s treasure chest gives 30 points of director attributes.

The Best Actor award was given 35 points directly. Hao Yun felt that his current acting skills were no less than any other actor in the world.

He is now the well-deserved actor with a thousand faces.

What are the three movie emperors with a thousand faces? He is the coolest movie emperor with a thousand faces.

There is even a kind of person who can write a performance work at will, thus achieving the realm of a grandmaster who writes books.

After returning to China, in addition to various interview invitations, Hao Yun also received invitations from many groups and organizations.

The Beijing Film Academy invited him to start classes immediately, and his class teacher Wang Jinsong waited for him at the door of his house, as if he was afraid that he would be snatched away by the Central Academy of Drama or something like that if he was late.

I couldn’t even wait for Dr. Hao Yun to graduate.

Beijing Film Academy hopes that Hao Yun will not only teach law courses to educate future stars about the law, but can also teach an acting course.

You are an Oscar winner.

In addition, you can also take classes in the directing department.

Currently, young people who aspire to become directors regard Hao Yun as their number one idol.

Whenever Hao Yun teaches a course, he immediately attracts countless young people.

Wang Jinsong even said that Beijing Film Academy could directly give Hao Yun the title of professor, and if Hao Yun was interested and wanted to be the vice dean, he could also help with the communication.

Don’t be afraid to ask for things, feel free to be bold.

The school beauties and class beauties can also be given to you for “guidance”.

Lao Wang didn’t seem angry at all. Hao Yun only thanked Jiang Wen at the Oscars ceremony and did not mention his name.

After all, he really didn’t teach Hao Yun anything.

The Directors Association even directly notified Hao Yun of the time for the new election. At that time, it would just be a formality and he could take office as the president of the Directors Association.

The Film Association, which is more powerful than the Directors Association, also sent an invitation.

The sky is high and the birds can fly freely; the sea is wide and the fish can jump freely!
The Film Association is your home!

Thanks to Hao Yun’s strong mind, otherwise it would be easy to get lost in so many sweet temptations.
