Korean entertainment superstar era

At the Toronto International Film Festival, the half-hour-long applause of "Twilight" shocked everyone, and then the reporters squatting outside the screening hall found that many international big names and first-line directors were also in the audience, and most of them declined the reporters In the interview, only Emma Watson, who came to Toronto to promote "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", accepted the reporter's interview with a smile, but she only had two short sentences:

"Brilliant, stunning and I can't wait for the UK release."

As we all know, because of "The Fighter", Enid Shah knew Director Russell. Although this excellent movie did not help Enid Shah get a statuette, she won the Golden Globe for her excellent performance in this movie. The favor of the award judges.

Director Russell spoke highly of Enid Xia's acting skills, calling her one of "the most promising actors of the new generation". Supporters, and the subsequent "Ann and Angela" also proved that this great director has a good vision. Enid is indeed a genius. The two films directed by her have a good reputation.

The former Bole became an opponent, and the media wanted to know Director Russell's opinion on "Twilight". Director Russell said with a smile, "I wouldn't be surprised if "Twilight" won the 'People's Choice Award'."

However, the goddess of luck did not favor "Twilight" like "Ann and Angela". On September 9, the awards of the Toronto Film Festival were announced. "The Line of Happiness Behind the Dark Clouds" directed by Searle, but Xia Zhen did not return empty-handed. "Twilight" won the "International Film Critics Special Award" in Toronto.

Regarding Xia Zhen's award, reporters and film critics described the matter in two completely different tones. The reporter used "Toronto International Film Festival, "Twilight" lost to 'Happy Line', Enid suffered a 'People's Choice Award' Eliminated", and film critics used "It deserves its name, "Twilight" is indeed special".

The reporter took pleasure in interviewing Xia Zhen about her defeat in the "People's Choice Awards". Xia Zhen said very gracefully: "If the opponent is directed by Russell's 'Happy Line', I really have nothing to say."

In September, besides promoting "Twilight", Xia Zhen has to shoot another movie, which is the long-delayed "Thor 2". Rumors such as "the heroine Enid Xia can't be filmed because she is a director" have gone through various twists and turns since July and August last year, and finally it is scheduled to start shooting in September this year.

In mid-to-late September, after the Toronto International Film Festival ended, Xia Zhen joined the crew of "Thor: The Dark World".

2012 was a good day for "Thor" Chris Hemsworth, because he was promoted to be a father in May this year. Sending blessings is still no problem.

The crew Xia Zhen met Chris Hemsworth's son for the first time. I have to say that the child is so cute that he wants Xia Zhen to take him home. Xia Zhen kissed the child several times and almost kissed the child. cry.

Chris Hemsworth was very helpless when he saw his pitifully "bullied" son by Xia Zhen, "Enid, are you bullying your brother like this in your family?"

Hearing his younger brother, Xia Zhen felt a little helpless, "I've been filming outside all year round, and I rarely see my younger brother..."

"Then why didn't you bring him to the crew?" Chris Hemsworth asked strangely.

Xia Zhen shook his head, "There are reporters on the crew, I don't want my brother to come into the public eye too early, the most important thing is that my brother is in school now, his classmates don't know that his sister is Enid, and he hasn't told anyone... ..."

As he spoke, Xia Zhen's tone sank, and the frustration in his expression was obvious. Chris Hemsworth patted Xia Zhen on the shoulder. He is Australian, not American, even if he is white, in the United States This land is often discriminated against, not to mention the Asian Enid from the East, who is a star, these sacrifices are unavoidable.

"Thor 2" Risha's real role is more like a passer-by. Loki played by Tom Hiddleston and "Thor" have an infinite friendship, and there is a kind of "brotherhood" everywhere, while Jane played by himself , No matter how you look at it, it looks like a third party caught between brothers. Looking at Xia Zhen with black lines, she has already told Black that she will not take similar roles in the future, no matter how much the other party asks.

Tom Hiddleston made a lot of money because of the filming of Xia Zhen's "Ann and Angela", and the role of Rocky made Hiddleston realize both fame and fortune. Now he is the most valuable in the UK One of the famous actors, whether it is the popularity of the characters he plays or his own acting skills, he has a good reputation.

In the original "Thor" crew, Xia Zhen had a better relationship with Chris Hemsworth, after all, they played lovers in the movie, but after Angela, she established a better relationship with Tom Hiddleston Tom Hiddleston even publicly stated in an interview that "I still want to work with Enid Xia if I have the opportunity. She is very good as an actor and a director."

The "intricate" relationship between the three has won a lot of attention for "Thor". Chris Hemsworth did not hesitate to show an abandoned look in front of reporters for the film. The opening ceremony of the film pointed at Tom Hiddles Dun said, "My brother is not only handsome, but also has a very good relationship with my girlfriend (looking at Xia Zhen), which makes me jealous."

One sentence made the audience roar with laughter.

"Thor 2" Xia Zhen doesn't have many roles. In fact, in the entire "Thor" series, she doesn't have too many roles. One month is enough, but this month, Xia Zhen feels very tired.

To promote "Twilight" and to catch up with the progress of "Thor 2", Xia Zhen's face appeared disheveled again. She was already in a sub-healthy state. More than eight hours of filming, plus various interviews and magazine shootings made Xia Zhen feel uneasy. The real working hours were extended from the stipulated eight hours to 15 hours.

Including the time for eating and exercising, Xia Zhen's real rest time is actually less than seven hours.

Since becoming a director, Xia Zhen has seldom been so busy. The long-term comfortable life has made Xia Zhen get used to a normal life, and she suddenly entered an abnormal routine, causing Xia Zhen to repel her body. The direct expression is that she lost weight again, and the dark circles under her eyes also came out of the rivers and lakes.

Xia Zhen was not the only one who was not in good health. In October, the weather suddenly turned cold. Xia Zhen's assistant, Sally, fell ill. She had a high fever and talked nonsense for several days.

Xia Zhen is not the kind of person who can do nothing without an assistant. When there is no Sally, she still manages her own things by herself.

But the problem is that Black is not feeling well either, and loss of appetite is contagious. Xia Zhen has a loss of appetite, and Black doesn’t eat much. Xia Zhen suspects that Black is pregnant, but Black denies it.

Because three months ago, she also had similar symptoms. At that time, everyone thought that Blake was pregnant, but when she went to the hospital, it was just indigestion.

At that time, Xia Zhen knew that Black had struggled for work in the early years, had poor work and rest, and her health was not very good. Her physique was not easy to get pregnant. Black and Choi Sung-wook were even ready to have sex.

In mid-October, Xia Zhen finished shooting all the scenes and left the "Thor 2" crew. Before leaving, the crew held a farewell party for her.

But something went wrong at the farewell party, and Blake suddenly passed out. In the bar, the crew panicked. The tall Chris Hemsworth immediately picked up Blake. The best one is Xia Zhen, she drove Blake all the way to the hospital.

The big action of the "Thor 2" crew attracted reporters. Many reporters who came after hearing the news blocked the crew. Xia Zhen was very tired, and Chris Hemsworth and Xia Zhen were in charge of dealing with the reporters.

"What happened to Enid, who was Mr. Hemsworth hugging just now?"

"Could Mr. Hemsworth ask what happened to the crew? Was it any actor?"

"Did something happen to the film crew?"

The reporter opened fire, Xia Zhen shook his head, and made a silent movement, "It's the staff next to me. The filming of 'Thor 2' went smoothly, but a staff member who took care of me fainted. The reason is unknown now. It's a hospital, please be quiet."

"Can Enid explain why Hemsworth is holding her?" A reporter said maliciously.

"I can't hold her." Xia Zhen said a little tiredly, "Don't get me wrong, it's not the actors of the crew who had the accident, the crew filmed smoothly, Mr. Hemsworth is a kind person, and he is willing to help."

Saying that, Xia Zhen solemnly bowed to Chris Hemsworth in front of the reporter.

Hemsworth was taken aback, "You're too polite, don't do this, I should have done..."

The two cooperated tacitly, and left time for the reporter to take pictures after the pleasantries. The reporter has something to say, so he will not write scribbles tomorrow.

After a while, a staff member came out beaming and went straight to Xia Zhen. She leaned into Xia Zhen's ear and said a word with a smile.

"What's the result?" The reporter who was unwilling to leave hurriedly asked.

Xia Zhen said with a smile, "The results of the doctor's examination just now came out. The crew will usher in a new life in a few months. Everyone has worked hard to come back from such a long distance."

Just as he was talking, there was already a crew member holding a large box of chocolates and distributing them to the reporters who came to interview, "Thank you for your hard work, you have worked hard for the interview, and there is nothing else to do..."

There is food and news, and I hope to stop the mouths of reporters talking nonsense.

Seeing off the reporters who came to interview, Xia Zhen went to the temporary ward, at this time Black was already awake, Cui Sung-wook was accompanying Black, seeing Hemsworth and Xia Zhen coming in, Cui Sung-wook was very grateful to Hemsworth Si bowed, Cui Sung-wook is an authentic Korean, and he was much more solemn than Xia Zhen when saluting.

Feeling uncomfortable, Chris Hemsworth backed away, muttered "polite Asians" and ran away.

"The doctor said that it is very likely that she is pregnant, but further tests are needed to confirm the result." Cui Chengxu smiled brightly, "You know, those doctors said that it is very likely, so it is almost certain."

Black said with a little worry: "What if it's not?"

Xia Zhen couldn't help laughing, "There's no reason for it, I've suspected it for a long time, Sally told me before, let you pay attention, if you don't pay attention, you will have to go to bed early and get up early in the future, but the two of you Kouzi is going to ask for leave again."

"Well, Xizhen, I'm sorry, I can..." Cui Chengxu said quickly.

Xia Zhen waved his hand, "I'm sure, I'll give you two maternity leave, I can still make the decision!"

Cui Sung-wook was embarrassed when he heard the word maternity leave.

The entertainment headlines of the major newspapers on the second day were indeed Xia Zhen bowing to Chris Hemsworth to thank him, but after the reporter rendered it, Hemsworth was like Thor, passing five levels and killing six generals, and going through twists and turns along the way Come to the hospital.

They described Xia Zhen's language as very interesting, and the reporter said that Xia Zhen's bow was "the expression of the devil's true feelings".

From a female warrior to a female devil, Xia Zhen was filled with emotions when she read the newspaper. She could write an autobiography in the future——"How the Devil Was Made".

In mid-to-late October, the smoke of the Oscars gradually spread, and the eyes of the whole world began to focus on the three-acre area of ​​Los Angeles. Every award is a message.

What makes Xia Zhen feel embarrassed is that Rebecca Hall, Alan Rickman and Ryan Gosling are all popular "seeds" for this year's Oscars.

Rebecca Hall and Jennifer Lawrence split the Film Critics Association Awards awarded so far, and the site is neck and neck.

Alan Rickman's winning rate is slightly lower than that of "Lincoln" actor, British actor Daniel Day Lewis, but only by a hair.

Compared with this, Ryan Gosling's winning rate is much lower, but it is also more likely than Xia Zhen's winning rate. The media has a perception that if Xia Zhen can be nominated for the Oscar "Best Director" again this year, it is only a nomination. All her victories.

Compared with last year's "Ann and Angela" and Xia Zhen's unexpected "Deus Ex" breaking into the Oscar finals, "Twilight" does not have an advantage this year, because there are too many masters who have come back this year.

Catherine Biroger, the only female best director in the history of Oscars, made her stunning debut with her new work "Assassination of Osama Bin Laden", followed by Steven Spielberg's latest masterpiece "Lincoln".

Chinese director Ang Lee came back with his latest masterpiece "Fantasy Crusoe of Pie", which added a little uncertainty to this year's Oscars, because no one knows how much energy this Chinese director has.

David O. Russell, whose Silver Linings Behind the Clouds was also a hit, was as vocal as Django Unchained director Quentin Tarantino.

Of course, these are not the most popular movies. The most popular movie this year is "Escape from Tehran", which has almost swept the "Best Picture Award" in all North American film awards so far. Winning the final laurel crown is an upset."It is worth mentioning that in "Escape from Tehran", Ben Affleck is not only the director, but also the leading actor.

Last year's Oscar for Best Director, Xia Zhen squeezed out Stephen Spielberg and occupied the precious "Best Director" seat at the Oscars. You must know that there are only five seats for Best Director. A little transparency like Xia Zhen may be upset again Sex is just too small.

Paramount and Telescope Entertainment have been helping Xia Zhen and "Twilight". Compared with the enthusiasm of these two film companies, CAA is not active, because this year's Oscar "Best Director" candidates are almost all signed by CAA Client, no matter which of these directors is nominated, it's a win for CAA.

However, although the "Best Director Award" and "Best Picture Award" Xia Zhen and "Twilight" are not favored, Xia Zhen has the highest rate of winning the Best Original Screenplay Award.This year's Film Critics Association awards, large and small, have reached the "Participation must be shortlisted, and shortlisted must win awards". Xia Zhen and "Twilight" are almost swept away. Even after many years, many media people review Enid ·Xia’s Star Road, couldn’t help feeling that “God, in order to sharpen her will, always threw a thumbtack when she was about to reach the end of victory”.
