Senior Superstar

  Chapter 1227 Does the old man still have a chance?

  As the “newcomer” who appeared for the first time at this year’s Oscars, Li Shixin’s appearance immediately aroused the intense interest of the media present.

  Amidst a flash of light, after Li Shixin waved his hand slightly, he strode towards the entrance of the venue.

  As an investor who has just stepped into the North American film market, Zhao Jinzhi did not receive an invitation from the senior management of the society this year.

  But Li Shixin’s trip was not alone—An Xiaoxiao was already waiting at the gate of the venue.

  Unlike Li Shixin, who was originally in Hollywood, An Xiaoxiao arrived by plane only last night.

  Just because of the business relationship of Huaqi commercial cooperation, I did not go to Li Shixin, but directly accepted a series of brand image designs in Los Angeles.

  Although Huaqi has always been cautious about An Xiaoxiao’s endorsements and advertisements, whether it is for commercial considerations or An Xiaoxiao’s personal development, he will definitely not miss such an important occasion as the Oscar.

  After all, domestic entertainment circles and international brand owners have too much obsession with the red carpet.

  In recent years, some third-rate celebrities and 18-line Internet celebrities will try their best to go to the opening ceremony of major film festivals to "rub the carpet" even if they have not received an invitation. Some of them even stayed on the red carpet for too long, and they would only go out when the security was alerted to "please".

  An artist’s success is one of them, but even if an artist is shameless, it is impossible for an artist to enter the red carpet without an invitation.

  For occasions like Oscars, exiting countries can be directly converted into business income and reputation income per second.

   Once again waved to the media reporter who was crazy about taking pictures, Li Shixin stood still beside An Xiaoxiao.

  Let my pro-disciple take up his arm, set up the styling according to the process again, and received another wave of flashing lights.

   glanced at a dark blue evening dress next to him. The skirt was studded with crystals. Li Shixin turned his head to the side like An Xiaoxiao who put the Milky Way on his body.

  "Good fellow, aren't you tired?"

  A little bitterness flashed in her sweet and charming smile.

"Teacher, please don't mention wow! I went to Los Angeles last night and I was devastated by those stylists and design directors of various brands all night! Look at me, Huaqi's advertising department is crazy! Evening wear is Escada’s, the watches are plum blossoms, the shoes are Valentino’s, and the full set of accessories are custom-made by Bulgari... They can’t wait for me to put Cartier’s diamond inlays! I now have seven brands of high-definition implants in my body, these things It adds up to more than 30 million. I don’t know how to walk now, and I still have to go back after wearing things. In case a skirt has a hole in it, and I accidentally lose my bag or ring, I’m afraid it’s our master and apprentice. You have to go to women's clothing and sell your **** to be able to afford it!"

  "..."

  So...Why didn’t the company arrange these for the old man?

  Looking at An Xiaoxiao, who kept waving to the camera and showing his watch and ring, Li Shixin put a lot of effort into facial expression management.

  Jealous...make the old man twist his eyes behind his back!

   Seeing that the star behind had entered the stage, Li Shixin, who had no advertisement on his body, looked down.

**** it!

  I must mention this to the company when I look back.

  If the old man is not arranged for the next Oscars ceremony, the old man will definitely print the No. 5 godson’s cemetery advertisement on him!

  The face can be omitted, but the face can not be lost!

  Don’t let people say that the old man is an international superstar who can’t even receive a single endorsement!

  Indignant, Li Shixin and An Xiaoxiao walked through the red carpet of the Avenue of Stars hand in hand.

  Compared to the grand and eye-catching outside, the inside of the venue was a little easier.

  After receiving interviews from several media, Li Shixin brought An Xiaoxiao to the guest table.

  While looking for his seat, Li Shixin saw an acquaintance.

  No one else, it is Nolan who is about to start cooperation.

   Seeing Li Shixin again after half a month, Nolan’s psychological baggage seemed to have been let go, and it seemed a lot more natural.

   "Li, it seems that you are serious about shaping your body. Compared to the audition, you are a bit fatter."

  Opened his arms with a smile, Li Shixin and Nolan gave a hug, which was regarded as a greeting.

  Nolan has no works this year, but a ceremony attended as a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

  Although the Oscars are hosted by the American ABC Television Network on the surface, they are actually awarded by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

  So in fact, this is an academic award.

  Various awards are produced by public voting, and the external independent accounting firm is responsible for statistics and confirming the shortlist.

  Then the Academy’s jury composed of film and television company executives, directors, screenwriters, actors and other industry practitioners is responsible for the second round of voting, and finally competes for the final award.

  Noting Nolan's seat, Li Shixin raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice.

   "Chris, you participated in the award selection this time?"

  Faced with Li Shixin’s question, Nolan was taken aback, and then smiled mysteriously.

"Lee, don’t you want to ask me if you didn’t win this year? If that’s the idea, I’m afraid I’m disappointed. Although nominally I’m a member of the jury of the society, I’m currently doing "Bat I didn’t participate in the preparations for the launch of "Xia". But I might have guessed what you are worried about."

  Are you the old roundworm in my duodenum?

  Li Shixin blinked.

   Seeing Li Shixin's face full of doubts, Nolan laughed.

   "I'm just worried about being shortlisted, but will I accompany you?"

  Speaking, he looked at Li Shixin again.

   "Perhaps, I am worried that I am a Chinese because I missed some important awards because of my skin color?"

  "Not Chinese, but Chinese."

  Li Shixin solemnly reminded him.

"Oh?"

   Hearing this, Nolan put a smile away.

  Although he has auditioned, he noticed that Li Shixin was mainly recommended by the director of the audition. I have not read Li Shixin’s actor information carefully.

"Don't worry too much. The political factors for the Oscar winning definitely exist, but the impact is not as big as you think. And the first round of "The Silent Lamb" has a good first-round box office performance. I heard that some members of the society have discussed this film. The artistry and commerciality of the film, from this point of view, there are basic award-winning discs. What's more...this year's Oscars are different from previous ones..."

"How do you say this?"

   Seeing that Nolan was a little hesitant, Li Shixin immediately asked.

"Well,"

Nolan spread his hands and said, "You know, the ratings of the Oscars have been declining in the past few years. The pressure on the ABC side is very high. I heard that several high-quality advertisers have terminated their cooperation. TV in North America In the market, the amount of advertising is limited by the length of the program, and the length of the program is limited by the limited prime time caused by the three-hour time difference between the east and the west of the United States, so the level of audience ratings will seriously affect advertising revenue.

  Previously, the society was mainly responsible for the selection of shortlisted and award-winning films. ABC is only the organizer of the ceremony, so it is impossible to coerce or imply which films to select. But this year is different. ABC is subject to huge ratings pressure, and this year they specially issued a warning to the society. Expressed the logic they want Oscar to have. This logic is very clear, that is, if a film with a high box office is shortlisted, it can increase the interest and ratings of the program for live TV viewers. "

   "Will the society follow the advice of ABC?"

   shrugged, Nolan looked helpless.

"Who knows, the guys from the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have never followed their routines. However, the main funding for the Academy currently comes from the broadcast of ABC’s annual Oscars, and ABC’s income comes from the broadcast of the ceremony. Interstitial ads. Perhaps, before finding strong capital support, those guys who don't always know what they think will make a certain compromise."

"In the worst case, or at least commercial films and genre films with no bad artistic value should have the chance to be shortlisted. Otherwise, the ratings of the live broadcast of the awards ceremony will continue to decline. In the long run, the college's livelihood will be a problem. I I personally think that "The Silent Lamb" is a good combination of artistry and commerciality. It is a work that has deep connotations and fits the current box office market, bringing the category of thrillers back to the audience's vision."

  Looking at the thoughtful Li Shixin, Nolan smiled again;

   "So rest assured, Li, if I participate in this year's selection, I will vote for "Lamb". I believe that under the new logic of capital intervention, "Lamb" will gain something."

  Seeing that more and more guests arrived at the table, the seats in the guest seat were already sitting seven or eight, and the ceremony was about to begin. Nolan patted Li Shixin on the shoulder and returned to his seat.

"Hey! Lee, I have been looking for you for a long time. Wow, Xiaoxiao. You are like a fairy tonight! I knew you were so dazzling tonight, I would not agree to Jessica and walk the red carpet with her. "

  At this moment, a hello came from behind Li Shixin.

   Glancing at Griff and his female companion, the famous Hollywood vase, Li Shixin grinned.

  Sao package.

  At night, this guy wore a pair of pure black sunglasses, but was wearing a pure white suit. For fear of being inconspicuous, he also hung a golden rose brooch on his chest.

  The point is...the shirt is not worn under the suit. The brown chest hair swayed just like that on the neckline of the white suit.

  The whole person looks like...

   is the same as a cowboy on the run in a nightclub.

  Li Shixin even suspected that this guy would take off his suit at any time and have a live striptease show.

   "Hey! Chris! Long time no see!"

  Just when Li Shixin didn't know how to complain about this guy, Griff noticed Nolan who was sitting next to Li Shixin.

  Immediately, he posted it in a familiar appearance. In Nolan's resistance and embarrassment, a big hug came.

  Li Shixin noticed that after the two separated, Nolan brushed off a chest hair on her body vigorously.

  "Please take your seats. The ceremony will begin soon."

   Taking advantage of the reminder from the on-site staff, Li Shixin quickly led An Xiaoxiao back to his seat.

  Can't afford to lose this person!

  Unexpectedly, because it was the invitation of the crew, Griff’s seat was by his side.

  Send Jessica Alba to the table, and the grieving bag sat next to Li Shixin.

"Hey, Lee. I saw you talking with Chris (Nolan) just now. What did you guys talk about? I remember that he is also a lifetime judge of the Oscars, and may have participated in the selection of this year's Academy Awards. Have you asked? Ask him, what awards can we get?"

"asked."

  Li Shixin looked at the awards stage without squinting, and responded casually.

   "I knew you would not let me down!"

   Griff shook his fist fiercely.

  Attracted by his excessively large movements, several guests nearby all looked over.

  In response to everyone's gaze, Griff and two of the female stars flew a kiss.

  The latter also responded enthusiastically.

   Hmm... It seems that the friendship is not shallow.

   "So has he revealed what award I won?"

   frowned at the two actresses, then he turned his head and lowered his voice and asked.

  "Oscar for Best Stallion Award. Lifetime Achievement Award from Kidney Association and Best Short Sign Award."

   Before Li Shixin could answer, An Xiaoxiao, who had endured him for a long time, grabbed the bun in the face and spit out.
