Someone has said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. The same is true for other industries.
¡°Zhao Minghyuk said that entertainers who don¡¯t want to win awards are not good entertainers. Although it is a bit one-sided, it is correct in his opinion.
"Oscar gave Zhao Minghe a different shock at the beginning. Whether it's the dense crowd that appears when you first enter Hollywood, or the crowd that crowds around the perimeter when you walk to the ceremony venue. They all gave me the feeling of an alternative version of Zhao Minghe.
Especially when celebrities start walking the red carpet. Because of the appearance of the star, there were waves of cheers. Zhao Minghe felt a tingling sensation in his heart.
He likes the feeling of being in the spotlight, especially when he is cheered by others. However, it is not him who is being cheered now. This made him a little inexplicably jealous.
However, this jealousy did not last long. Zhao Minghe had already found Takita Yojiro and followed him into the auditorium.
Speaking of which, Zhao Minghyuk has not attended many award ceremonies. But there are one or two. In particular, he has participated in some of the more important ones. However, none can compare with Oscar.
Whether it is gold, influence or importance. They are not all on the same level. Oscar, no matter what, is also the goal that many filmmakers strive for throughout their lives.
Although "The Embalmer" is also one of the candidates for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, the seats of Yojiro Takita and Zhao Minghyuk are still there. It's not as good as imagined, it can even be said to be a bit remote.
After all, Americans know better about Asia. Maybe it¡¯s more Indian movies or Hong Kong movies. Japan is okay, but South Korea? They really haven't heard much.
So, this time "The Embalmer" was selected as the best foreign language film, which also excited many filmmakers in Japan and South Korea.
¡°Eh, you asked why South Korea is excited. Didn¡¯t you know that the screenwriter of "The Embalmer" is Zhao Minghyuk? Moreover, he is also one of the important supporting characters.
Therefore, a large part of the success of this movie must be attributed to Zhao Minghe.
Of course, this is what South Korea said. The Japanese side must be looking towards Takita Yojiro. The two countries also had a big verbal war at that time over who would go on stage to receive the award if they could win the award. In the end, South Korea pulled Jiang Digui and Takita Yojiro to have a good discussion. Finally, it was decided that the two of them would go up together to receive the award.
This is also the reason why Zhao Minghyuk and Takita Yojiro can participate in the Oscars together. Otherwise, do you think that with Zhao Minghyuk¡¯s qualifications, he can participate in such a world-class film ceremony?
However, what was unexpected was that Zhao Minghe actually saw Will Smith, who was not far away in the front row, and the other party also saw him. He even waved him over.
Zhao Minghe thought for a while and decided it would be a good idea to go over and say hello. I said something to Takita Yojiro, but didn't notice the other person's very surprised look. Then he got up and went to find Will Smith
"Hey boy, I didn't expect you to be not far away from me. Sorry, Joe. Please go and sit in the back first." Will Smith said hello to Zhao Minghe, and then said to the agent on his left . Will Smith's manager knew Zhao Minghyuk, so he didn't say anything. He just smiled, then got up and went to sit in Zhao Minghyuk's seat at the back. And Zhao Minghyuk also took advantage of the situation and took the position of Will Smith's agent.
"Will, are you also selected?" Zhao Minghe tilted his head and thought for a while, it seemed that his name was not included in the list of candidates he had seen before.
"No, no, no, I'm just here to take a look." The big black man smiled. Ever since the 79th "Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door" almost made this big black man stand on the stage above and win the statuette, he also I have tried hard to hit the Little Golden Man again. But the subsequent failure to sell well made him feel particularly shocked. "You have to know that although your script is very good, the bosses in the academy don't like it very much~"
Will Smith shrugged his shoulders. "Seven Pounds" has been raking in box office in North America and has also received mixed reviews from all walks of life. Although the box office was later seized by comedy master Jim Carrey's "Mr. Nice Guy". But "Seven Pounds" was able to achieve such results at the end of 2008, when the economy was depressed and the climate was depressed. It's already very powerful.
"It's a pity that no matter how much people from all walks of life praise "Seven Pounds", the academy's selectors still didn't take a fancy to him. So in the end, I missed the Oscar this time.
"What? Were you hit?" Zhao Minghe smiled, although his smile was very reserved. "You know I was hit more." Zhao Minghyuk complained more than once, why not give him a best screenwriter nomination? Or it would be okay to get a nomination for adaptation. There was nothing.
It was a waste of time for him toI racked my brains to write "Seven Pounds", a script that is both philosophical and rich in connotation.
"I can only blame the boss of the college for looking down on you." Will Smith seemed to be bearish too. Although he often heard regrets, he didn't pursue it too much.
"Then you just came here to take a look?" Zhao Minghe didn't understand, although the Oscars are indeed the palace of filmmakers. But for Will Smith, a frequent visitor, if he was not nominated this time, he would not have to attend.
"Of course, I'm here to see the beauty~" The big black man laughed loudly, "Well, actually, I just promised to attend on Jack's behalf."
"Jack?"
"Jackchen! Don't you know? Isn't he very famous in Asia?"
"Famous? Jackchen?" Zhao Minghe frowned, why, it feels so familiar, but he just can't think of it.
The big black man was depressed for a moment. Could it be that Jack lied to him? But I am also paying attention to it. That guy is indeed very famous in Asia, and even in North America. How come there are still people who don¡¯t know about him?
"Jackchen! Big nose, he sang songs at the Chinese Olympic Games. Although that guy's voice is not very good. He also filmed "Rush Hour"!"
"Jackie Chan?!" Zhao Minghe almost stood up. He remembered that he was a Chinese filmmaker with a big nose and was very famous in the United States. Who else could it be besides that Asian superstar? However, Zhao Minghe's exclamation had disturbed others. Zhao Minghe nodded apologetically to others, and then spoke in a low voice.
"You mean Brother Jackie Chan?"
"Jackie Chan, I thought his Chinese name was this, don't you know his English name is Jackchen?" Will Smith thought for a while, it seemed that the guy had mentioned his Chinese name. However, his English pronunciation is very poor, and sometimes he can't even understand what he says.
"This, I really didn't remember it for a moment." That means I didn't remember it. Zhao Minghe didn't think about it at all. He really didn't know that Jackie Chan was in the United States and had a very good relationship with Will Smith. Otherwise, even if Zhao Minghe is not a filmmaker, in his two lifetimes combined, how could he not know Jackie Chan? After all, Zhao Minghe grew up watching Jackie Chan movies.
"But, by the way, why did you come to attend on his behalf? What's the matter with you two?"
