As Chen Guang walked from the backstage of Hugo Hall to the front of the stage, the camera flashes went off non-stop.
Beams of light shone directly into Chen Guang's eyes. Old Master Guang used his internal energy to protect his eyes. As he walked, he only smiled and opened his eyes, looking especially elegant.
He had to make sure that every photo taken of him was a handsome man with no blind spots.
He didn't want to be photographed flirting and be ridiculed online.
After the reporters were done taking photos, Chen Guang pressed his hands together and gestured to the huge pile of microphones in front of him, asking everyone to be quiet.
There were some familiar faces that Chen Guang had seen at the premiere or in the aisle of the Huaxia Theater after the premiere.
However, Chen Guang wasn't in the mood to be interviewed by these people back then because he knew that nothing good would come out of their mouths.
"Everyone, let's skip the pleasantries. We'll start asking questions from the first person in the first row from the left. You can ask me all your questions about 'Women', including why I decided to release it in the US and the guests at the premiere. I will answer all your questions except for my personal life. "
As soon as Chen Guang finished speaking, the guy in the first row from the left stood up. "Hello, Mr. Chen. I'm Damon from the Washington Post. There have always been rumors that you're here for the Oscar. May I ask if that's true? We would like to hear a more specific answer from you. "
Chen Guang grinned. "Good question. Thank you, Mr. Damon, for asking this question. That's right, I'll answer everyone clearly now. I, Chen Guang, am indeed here for the Oscar for Best Actor. "
There was a brief uproar among the reporters. Everyone had different expressions on their faces. Some thought it was natural, while others were in disbelief.
Immediately, the second person asked, "Mr. Chen, I'm Tallant from the New York Times. May I ask, Mr. Chen, what do you think makes you worthy of the Oscar for Best Actor?"
This was obviously a nitpicky guy.
Chen Guang's expression didn't change. "You must be like the reporters I've met before. You've never been to a movie theater, so you don't know what I'm talking about. So how do you want me to answer you now? Next! "
This pitiful reporter from the New York Times initially thought that he would be respected since he's from a reputable media company, so his words were a little arrogant. However, he never expected that Chen Guang would be even more arrogant, putting him on the spot.
The third reporter stood up. "Mr. Chen, I'm Merlin from the Manhattan Weekly. I watched 'Women' in the movie theater last night. I think that your acting skills are indeed epochal, but whether a movie can win the Oscar or not doesn't depend on your performance alone. It has to do with the movie as well. of the movie. "In 'Women' in the movie, other than your acting skills, Mr. Chen, there are many things that needs of the movie. So I'd like to know where your confidence comes from. Are you being overconfident? "
Chen Guang nodded. This guy's words were much more pleasant to hear. First, he acknowledged me, then he questioned me. This was a friend who understood the ways of the world.
"Mr. Merlin, I don't deny that the problem you mentioned does exist. But before I left Huaxia, I said something to my employees. After all, the Oscar is for the filmmakers, not the politicians. Let's not talk about the seemingly neutral political tendency in the plot of 'Women'. It's just a movie that tells a story. Let's refocus on the fundamental art of the movie. Let's put aside the weak points of 'Women' and focus on my personal acting skills. My confidence comes from my acting skills. There is no other reason! "
After finishing his words, Chen Guang continued to look at the audience with a smile. His face was filled with calmness, but in fact, it was extremely pretentious.
How could he say such a thing?
This wasn't a private occasion. It was an official press conference with hundreds of reporters!
Did your family know that you were so arrogant?
Weren't you afraid of being beaten?
Countless flashes appeared again. Countless reporters thought to themselves, "We must record the most shameless man in the world. Maybe he will drown in his own saliva tomorrow."
The fourth questioner followed up Merlin's question and continued, "Mr. Chen, I've also watched 'Women'. I admit that your acting skills are very good, but I don't think they are good enough for you to be on the podium of the Oscar."
Chen Guang answered again, "That's because you've denied me from the beginning. You've been prejudiced by the first impression. I suggest you watch the movie again. Focus all your points of view on the scenes where I'm involved in. I can tell you responsibly that you will have a new feeling. In addition, please look at the book in my hand. This is the first and second volume of 'World School of Performing Arts', which just went on sale yesterday. It's only 39.9 US dollars and is now out of stock. If you watch the movie with the comprehensive interpretation of my acting skills in this book, you will have a different feeling. "
"I'll say something shameless again. Many of you people in and out of the industry don't really understand my performing arts. You don't really understand it. But it doesn't matter. You read my book first and then watch my movie. The parts that you don't understand will gradually become clear. You will find that my acting skills are like the paintings of Van Gogh and Da Vinci. At first glance, they are ordinary, but when you think about them carefully, you will find that they are full of mysteries. "
"I can even say that the acting skills I displayed in 'Women' and the brand-new performing art system I wrote in 'World Faction', once mastered by the world, will definitely bring the current human film industry one step further and reach the next level! Let me emphasize again, the Oscar is the Oscar for filmmakers! What I will bring to this industry will be revolutionary progress! So why am I not worthy of the Oscar Best Actor? "
As soon as Chen Guang said this, the whole Hugo Hall was silent.
The reporters couldn't calm down for a long time.
Some of them had watched 'Women' and were serious about it. They even started to analyze Chen Guang's words in their hearts.
Some of them briefly read 'World School of Performing Arts' and then put it on the shelf. At this moment, they suddenly realized something and fell into deep thought.
There were also those who were completely obsessed with 'World School of Performing Arts'. Well, even though these people had received the invitation, they were still cooped up at home or in the hotel.
Of course, there were also die-hard anti-fans who had never watched the movie or read the book. At this moment, they were also speechless.
Originally, they had prepared a lot of questions to lead Chen Guang into the ditch. There was only one purpose, which was to make him say something that could be taken out of context and cause controversy.
However, they never expected that before the bait they had prepared, this guy would jump into the abyss of his own accord. They couldn't even pull him back!
"Then, Mr. Chen, may I ask if what you said just now can be taken as you think that the previous performing arts are just children's babbling and that your so-called 'World School of Performing Arts' is the real performing arts?"
After all, there were still smart people in this world. Reporters were best at digging holes.
Chen Guang turned back to look at him. Without changing his expression, he nodded and said, "Yes."
Wow!
"Mr. Chen, do you understand how many people you will offend with such an attitude?"
"I understand, but I respect my own heart, and I respect my own art even more. Just as people said when they boycotted me, they boycotted me for the sake of performing arts. I am also crazy for the sake of performing arts. I know where I stand. Out of my sense of responsibility, I have no reason to deny my own artistic level, because my persistence is beneficial to this era! "
Not only did he jump off the cliff, but he also opened the ejector on his back after jumping off the cliff. He was diving down the mountain!
The huge Hugo Hall couldn't quiet down again. There was no need for the interview to continue.
What kind of hole was there to dig? He himself was a giant hole!
We met a madman!
After a long time, Chen Guang walked out of the Hugo Hall in high spirits, leaving behind a large group of shocked reporters and countless online viewers who were watching the live broadcast.
Fang Tianyu and Lv Xiaoliang looked at Chen Guang's back in silence.
"No wonder he is the boss."
"Fang Tianyu, look at my face."
"What happened to your face? Were you beaten? "
"No, did you see a word on my face?"
"What word?"
"I'm impressed."
"By the way, Buttface, where did the boss go?"
"He went to the street community to look for Mrs. Joshtan."
"F * ck, is the boss going to hit a man when he's down?"
Buttface laughed wickedly. "Don't make it sound so bad. I think it's more appropriate to say 'hit a man when he's down'. You have no idea how annoying that old man named Donald Joshtan is."
Three hours later, the storm caused by Chen Guang's "nonsense" at the press conference was still going strong. People in the film industry who had been humiliated wanted to buy plane tickets to Los Angeles to kill him. As for the members of the Oscar committee who were in Los Angeles, they were even more furious.
If it wasn't for them going online and discovering that Chen Guang was this year's World Arm-Wrestling Champion, along with the video of Chen Guang destroying the dynamometer with a single punch uploaded by Bonar Pierce, they would've really done it.
"This damn Huaxia man!"
"Despicable! Shameless! "
"What a clown!"
"Do you think you can get us into the cinema by doing this? In your dreams! "
"You won't be nominated at all!"
"We're not interested in your bullsh * t World Pie!"
Many people cursed and threw the brand-new copies of World Pie, which they had just asked their assistants to buy, into the burning fireplace.
At about one o 'clock in the afternoon, the box office statistics in Huaxia were released. It still topped 100 million yuan in a single day.
The real-time box office attendance in North America in the morning dropped slightly, falling below 90%, but it was still as high as 84.7%.
However, at this moment, because of Chen Guang's arrogance, the North American film industry once again reached a consensus. These people thought that Chen Guang had touched the bottom line that they should not touch.
They planned to unite, shut their ears, and poke their eyes blind. No matter how terrifying Chen Guang's box office was, they would never set foot in the cinema.
No matter how much other people praised his books, he would never think of reading them again.
The Oscars had nothing to do with the box office!
You don't have the most basic respect for people in the film industry. No one has ever won an Oscar after offending all the judges!
No matter how crazy you are with the yuan, it's impossible!
We, the film industry, will never bow to any power!
Then, at two o 'clock in the afternoon, another piece of news made this group of people, who had just made up their minds to continue to go against Chen Guang, pee their pants.
Donald Joshtan, the man who seemed to have disappeared into thin air for three days, suddenly appeared!
On this cold and bleak day, he only wore a tie and a pair of checkered underwear. He appeared on the street openly and was running circles around his Hollywood Huaxia Theater!
Oh my god! They heard that Chen Guang went to chat with Jenny Joshtan in the morning.
What did he do to Mrs. Joshtan?
Old Donald, who had a tough life, what kind of crazy torture did you go through to do such a thing in this cold winter?
Look at his back, running under the afternoon sun, he looked cool, but in fact, extremely miserable.
His fat body and the jiggling fat looked so ridiculous, like an absurd mime.
Every step he took was so strenuous.
He was sweating profusely, his face was flushed, and he was panting.
His funny tie was flying left and right in front of his exposed chest.
His Scottish-style checkered underwear was hanging on his butt with difficulty. It was slightly loose, and when the wind blew, it trembled endlessly.
Every time he ran a few steps with difficulty, he had to stop for a moment and pull his underwear with force.
Sunlight shone on his body, causing his shadow to grow even longer.
More and more people noticed this ridiculous scene. They gathered around and pointed at the silver-haired Donald from afar.
Donald's friends almost burst into tears.
Mrs. Joshtan must have been bewitched.
How could she bear to let her husband, who was highly respected in the entire North American film industry, do such a ridiculous thing!
The stubborn Donald must have been tortured like a trial by the Church in the Middle Ages for him to submit to such an extent.
Wait, why is he smiling in the television?
Why is the smile on his face so holy and calm, as if he had heard the call of the Lord?
'Has Donald gone mad?'
Oh my God!
The Oscar committee members, who were highly respected and stubborn, could not help but feel sorry for Donald when they saw his "tragic" state.
They couldn't help but feel terrified. If they continued to resist stubbornly like this, would they end up like Donard?
Who gave this Huaxia man the courage to be so crazy? Aren't you afraid of the revenge of the Joshtan family and the Edward family?
You're humiliating the two great families' faces!
Lu Xiaoliang and Fang Tianyu looked at each other as they watched the live report from the LA TV station.
"What a bastard boss."
"Heartless!"
"What a crazy boss."
"He doesn't know how to respect the old and love the young. He tramples on our traditional Huaxia virtues."
"Buttface, I just recorded it. You are doomed."
"F * ck!"
Except for Tang Xiaokai, not many people knew that this was actually Donald's own choice.
