Millennium director

January 27, 2020, a calm and cloudless day.

The traditional custom of the Oscars, which has lasted for decades, has not changed, that is, a nomination luncheon is held before the official start of the awards ceremony.

For the red carpet of the Oscars, most people's impression only stays on the red carpet ceremony on the day of the awards ceremony.

But in fact, before that, there was also a red carpet link for the nomination luncheon.

But compared with the large-scale awards ceremony red carpet outside the Kodak Cinema, the red carpet of the nomination luncheon is indoors. Generally, a backboard is set up in the hotel where the luncheon is held, so that the stars who come to the luncheon can stop to sign and take pictures.

Of course, the invited media are much less than the formal awards ceremony, and it is more like a backstage interview link.

But for most Hollywood stars, this nomination luncheon should also be taken seriously, and each nominated crew must send at least 1-2 guests to attend.

Of course, the crew of "Bruce Lee" cannot be absent.

Wu Yuan also led the male and female protagonists Chen Guokun and Emma Stone to attend today's luncheon together.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, they took the car of the Oscar Organizing Committee and arrived outside the hotel where the luncheon was held.

"Emma, ​​you look so beautiful today." While waiting, Wu Yuan smiled and said to Emma Stone, who was sitting opposite him.

Although Emma Stone was not dressed very formally today, she wore a bright red dress and attended the event formally.

To be honest, Emma Stone cannot be considered a Western beauty in the traditional sense.

Before Hollywood aesthetics were influenced by that organization, the definition of Hollywood traditional beauty must be tall, plump, blonde and blue-eyed.

That is, Marilyn Monroe.

And Megan Fox, English Rose Keiranie Terry.

And Emma Stone is also a big beauty of this type, which is very consistent with the aesthetics of the West, mainly European and American white people.

However, in Wu Yuan's eyes, Emma Stone's appearance is not in his aesthetic point.

I don't know why, Wu Yuan always feels that she looks too tough, or to put it bluntly, a girl with a boyish look.

Although she is a blonde and red-lipped actress, Wu Yuan can always see some masculine flavor in her face, so he has never liked her.

If Disney had not asked her to play the role, Wu Yuan would definitely not choose Emma Stone if he cast the role himself. He would rather choose Gwyneth Paltrow to play Bruce Lee's wife.

After all, she has more of a gentle wife flavor.

However, after actually meeting Emma Stone and filming "Bruce Lee" with her, Wu Yuan had to admit that this is indeed a very good actor. She acted very well and he couldn't find any fault with her. It can be said that she brought positive blessings to the "Bruce Lee" crew.

So now Wu Yuan has a very good attitude towards Emma Stone!

"Thank you for your compliment. I also think I am very beautiful today." Emma Stone smiled and winked at Wu Yuan and joked with him.

However, compared to Emma Stone, who had attended many Oscar nomination luncheons and looked calm and composed, Chen Guokun, who was sitting next to Wu Yuan, was really super nervous. The knee of his suit pants was wrinkled by his hands.

"Guokun, don't be nervous." Wu Yuan turned his head and looked at his leading actor, and said helplessly: "This is just a nomination luncheon. There are not many reporters. If you are so nervous, what will you do at the award ceremony?"

"Remember, you are Bruce Lee now. Bruce Lee will not be nervous in such a scene."

When the word "Bruce Lee" was mentioned, Chen Guokun's expression immediately stabilized a lot. He really didn't want to embarrass his idol and the image he had worked hard to create for half his life. He reached out and wiped his face, nodded and said: "I know, Director Wu."

Coincidentally, at this time, the driver also received a radio message, and it was the turn of the "Bruce Lee" crew to appear.

Wu Yuan patted Chen Guokun on the shoulder, took the two people out of the car, and walked into the hotel.

Because it was a nomination luncheon, there was no red carpet outside the hotel, and reporters were not even allowed to take photos.

The three of them walked into the hall calmly, and after following a waiter and turning left and right, they came to a corridor leading directly to the banquet hall, and then the red carpet appeared.

At the end of the red carpet was the interview area with an Oscar background board, where there were already about a dozen or more than 30 reporters and media waiting.

Wu Yuan, who was wearing a Tang suit today, quickened his pace and walked onto the red carpet with Emma Stone and Chen Guokun.

The reporters were very disciplined, and no one took photos when they walked on the red carpet. It was not until the three of them stood under the background board that the flashlights in the hands of the reporters flashed like crazy.

Chen Guokun and Emma Stone were very accustomed to this kind of scene. Even if they had to face the flashlights of more than 30 cameras, they could still open their eyes wide without blinking.

Wu Yuan was not like that. He really didn't have the ability to face frequent and fast flashlights without any eye problems.

So he was very tactful and prepared a pair of sunglasses himself.

Wearing sunglasses on the red carpet is not a strange thing. Leonardo before them also wore sunglasses.

Or maybe the reason why celebrities like to wear sunglasses in public is to avoid the crazy flash of reporters to hurt their eyes, not just to look cool.

After all, actors are not the "idols" of Japan and South Korea who sell smiles and have to be perfect. They also have to practice or adapt to the flash. Actors have the right to say no to the flash of media reporters.

Well, Depp often beats paparazzi.

Let's get back to the point.

Because it is a nomination luncheon, there is also a short interview session.

These reporters are all reporters related to the Oscars, so they are allowed to attend the nomination luncheon, so their questions are also very tactful and all revolve around the Oscars.

They are all old-fashioned questions such as what do you think of these nominations, what are your expectations for the final awards, and what do you think of the nominated films of this year's Oscars.

Faced with such questions, let alone Emma Stone and Chen Guokun who are used to it, even Wu Yuan, who rarely accepts interviews, can handle it easily. Isn't it just a few polite words about how good you are, how good I am, and how good everyone is.

"In fact, I really like Parasite, which is nominated for Best Picture. It is a very good Asian film. I am very optimistic that this film can win the Best Picture."

"As for me, I am very happy to be able to participate in this year's Oscars. The awards will be up to fate."

Wu Yuan showed a classic business smile and said half-true and half-false polite words. He was satisfied, and the reporters on the scene were also satisfied.

About five minutes later, at the prompting of the on-site staff, the reporters ended their questions with reluctance, and the three main creators of the "Bruce Lee" crew could leave and go to the banquet hall.

When walking out of the interview area and heading to the banquet hall behind, Wu Yuan saw the next crew entering from the corner of his eye.

With just one glance, he recognized which crew it was.

There was no way. In this scene full of Europeans and Americans, a group of Asian faces were too easy to recognize!

Yes, the crew of "Parasite", the biggest favorite to win the Oscar this year and his biggest opponent, entered the venue right after the "Bruce Lee" crew! (End of this chapter)
