Chapter 782: Two-time Oscar Best Actress?

This duel between Master Yanwu and Daoist Cheng not only caused a sensation in China but also rose in popularity around the world.

Previously, the peak number of viewers for the livestream on YouTube exceeded 500,000, and the number of subsequent tweets on Twitter was also more than 300,000; this level of popularity was absolutely quite high.

In fact, this also relied on those action stars who made a name for themselves in Hollywood.

It was they who used fists and feet and life-risking acting to make "Chinese Wu Gong" resound throughout the world.

Here, especially, I have to thank the two "Dragon Brothers"; without them, Wu Gong would not have such popularity in the world.

And Wu Gong, which originally had a certain fan base, became even more famous after this global synchronized livestream.

No way, Master Yanwu's Iron Shirt that couldn't be beaten no matter what, and Daoist Cheng's technique of overturning a strong man of nearly 200 jin with a light touch, were indeed too shocking.

A group of foreigners were shouting in the comment section that they wanted to come to China to learn.

Of course, there was no shortage of South Korean netizens who were the origin of all things.

"The icon of Tai Chi is quite similar to our national flag, indicating that the birthplace of this boxing technique is our South Korea, Simida."

"But your South Korean flag was only designed a few decades ago, and Tai Chi has a history of hundreds of years."

"Nonsense, our South Korea has a history of more than 3,000 years, Xiba!"

"You can just say that everything in China is an invention of South Korea; if you want to grab it, just say it directly."

"South Korea was invented by China; sure enough, if people are shameless, they are invincible in the world."

………………

It was still the "application for heritage" session as usual.

However, this time, netizens around the world didn't indulge South Korea again, but attacked them in groups.

Chinese martial arts had popularity all over the world, and it couldn't be occupied by others just by applying for heritage without evidence.

But this also made netizens around the world recognize the shamelessness of these people again, although this was not the first time.

This matter quickly hit the trending search in China, but most self-media reported it as entertainment, because they knew that Chinese martial arts could not be snatched away.

Besides scolding two more sentences that the sticks were really shameless, netizens had nothing else to scold.

When a group is shameless to this extent, it really doesn't know how to describe it better.

On the other side, the news that the Oscars officially accepted works for selection began to spread.

Generally, this process was carried out at the end of the year, but this year, because of social unrest, many films that should have been released during this period were postponed.

Some were not finished filming, and some were afraid of affecting the box office because of the environment.

After all, not every director had the confidence and confidence of Luo Quan, who could completely ignore environmental factors and release films directly.

Because there were no films released, the Oscars started the selection of awards in advance.

And this time, among the films Luo Quan sent to the Oscars for selection, there were Joker and Forrest Gump.

Farewell My Concubine had already won Cannes, so in principle, it could not go to the Oscars.

Two films, Luo Quan could be said to be ambitious, and she was determined to win the four most heavyweight awards.

Imagine, if she could win Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress, and then Gao Liang win Best Actor, how massive would the momentum of the brother and sister be?

And from the current situation, this was also an event that was quite likely to happen.

Among them, Best Film and Best Actress were nailed down.

Forrest Gump was politically correct, almost the film that American society needed most at present, but unfortunately, it couldn't completely solve the problem.

But this didn't affect its status; after all, no film is useful in America now.

In short, Forrest Gump had been praised countless times by the media since its release, and the public's praise had also remained above 95% for a long time.

It would be intolerable for such a film not to win an award.

As for the Oscar Best Actor, we still have to look at the competitors.

Although Gao Liang's competitor was courting death, hitting the host at the New York Film Festival awards ceremony, which led to his New York Film Festival Best Actor award being withdrawn, and he was not allowed to run for the Oscars within five years.

This also allowed Gao Liang, who was originally in the second position, to directly advance to the first.

As long as he didn't court death like his predecessor, this status was estimated to be very stable.

By then, the media would help create momentum, and it wouldn't be impossible for the Oscars to make an exception and give a young handsome man a Best Actor award.

As for Luo Quan, she had already won an Oscar Best Actress.

Last year, The Silence of the Lambs directly amazed the world, defeating all opponents with less than 20 minutes of performance, and indisputably won the Oscar Best Actress.

And this year, her performance was still as convincing as ever.

Her neurotic acting in Joker could be said to have shocked all the audience.

Whether it was DC fans or just passersby, they were all applauding this "unprecedented" female Joker.

The only regret was that this Joker didn't seem to have news of a sequel.

This refreshing character setting of the female Joker actually had quite a lot of places worth digging deep into.

And the rival scenes between her and Batman later were indeed very eye-catching.

Now Jinjiang had emerged with quite a few CP articles of the female Joker and Batman.

When such CP articles appeared on female-frequency websites, they were basically aimed at romance, and superheroes were just auxiliary.

Fortunately, these female-frequency authors were relatively reliable; the female Joker's name was Anna, and they didn't directly make a Luo Quan.

Luo Quan represented herself to thank them.

As for the new version of Joker vs. Batman that DC fans were looking forward to, it was estimated to be a series of "in this life."

However, if Warner was decisive enough, they could directly find another actress to play Joker.

Batman sometimes needed to take off his mask, but Joker's makeup seemed to always exist on the face; whether it was Luo Quan herself didn't seem to be that important.

In short, Joker received box office and praise far exceeding expectations after its release.

And by virtue of her exquisite performance in the film, Luo Quan was extremely likely to win the Oscar Best Actress for two consecutive terms.

Such a feat had only appeared once in Oscar history, and it was already more than 50 years ago.

If Luo Quan could complete it, her historical status in the film industry would be greatly improved.

Because her performance was too outstanding, it also led to the domestic media directly opening champagne for her in advance after the film was sent for selection, saying that she was about to win the Oscar Best Actress again.

This made her very speechless.

It was like this last year too; a group of domestic media held a celebration party halfway through.

Originally a very stable thing, it made her worry about gains and losses, fearing that some accident would happen and she wouldn't get it, and then become a laughingstock in the country.

However, if the media wanted to blow, you had no way to deal with them.

I have heard of celebrities suing for defamation for spreading rumors, but I have never heard of sending a lawyer's letter for expecting celebrities to win awards.

So although Luo Quan didn't like this practice, she could only post in her dynamic: "I implore major media not to arrange a celebration party for me in advance; it won't be too late to be happy after the awards ceremony ends in February next year."

Although it was said not to be too late, for the media that raced against time, it was too late.

So Luo Quan's advice didn't have a very good effect.

Those media still went their own way.

And with the broadcast of The Walking Dead trailer, Luo Quan didn't have the energy to manage these trivial details.

After more than half a year, the first season of The Walking Dead was finally about to be broadcast.

Netflix global exclusive broadcast, piracy will be investigated, except for China and India.

Of course, this was a joke by netizens around the world; in fact, there was piracy everywhere, it was just that China and India were more rampant.

After all, they were two giants among developing countries, and the consumption level of ordinary citizens couldn't compare to developed countries.

But they wanted to watch, so they could only watch piracy.

However, Netflix mainly earned money from Europe and America; in the Asian continent, everything followed fate, not losing money is earning.

Compared to the slightly simple first season of The Walking Dead in the previous life, the new version of The Walking Dead had sufficient funds, and the clothing, makeup, and props were much stronger.

Because the zombie virus was developed by the Umbrella Corporation, this company also found a way to control the virus when the virus broke out.

Soon, the zombie virus swept across the United States, and under the conspiracy of the Umbrella Corporation's high-level management, even the army couldn't resist the zombies.

Because every time the US military established a defense line to resist zombies, the virus would inexplicably break out from the inside.

This is like the strongest fortress often breaking out from the inside.

Ordinary zombies were simply not the opponents of modern troops; under the washing of artillery shells, zombies couldn't even see people before being blown to pieces.

But if someone deliberately poisoned, it would be different.

So despite having high-tech weapons, the US military still collapsed rapidly, and one defense line after another was broken by zombies.

And these scenes also became the wonderful content in The Walking Dead trailer.

The dark zombie group surged toward the military defense line built by the US military like a tide, and the scarlet sunset reflected the world as if the end of the world had arrived.

Heavy artillery and machine guns, combined with planes and missiles in the air, blew huge holes in the zombie tide one after another.

But they seemed to be endless, filling the gaps in the blink of an eye.

And just when the zombies were getting closer and closer to the defense line, screams came from behind the soldiers; it turned out that in the rear barracks, a large number of soldiers also mutated and began to bite people when they saw them.

The defense line was attacked from both sides and didn't last long before falling.

At this time, several English words appeared on the screen:

"When the end of the world comes, how will you survive in this world full of crises?

Is it full of hope, or is it like a walking dead?"

Then came the scenes of several protagonists appearing one by one: Rick, Shane, Daryl, Glenn; each character's appearance and personality were very distinct and highly recognizable.

And the location where the story took place was in Atlanta; decades ago, the Olympics were held here, and it was also a prosperous city that could be named.

Why not choose New York or Los Angeles.

Because the setting was that these two international metropolises had heavy troops guarding them, and they were the last few strongholds of the US government, and they also had important scenes in the subsequent Resident Evil, so they hadn't fallen yet.

As for Atlanta, where the protagonist group was located, it had already been captured by zombies, and the whole city was almost all zombies.

The entire plot of the first protagonist Rick was also dedicated to finding survivors, wanting to gather everyone's strength to survive in this doomsday.

Compared to Resident Evil, which killed zombies all the way, the protagonists of The Walking Dead had no superpowers, and no extraordinary physique that could break iron doors with bare hands.

They were more like ordinary people, running not much faster than zombies, and if they fought hand-to-hand, it was almost certain death.

But it was precisely this performance that was similar to ordinary people that made the entire TV series full of a sense of helpless despair.

At the same time, it was also more realistic.

Because no one could fly over walls like Alice and kill zombies like killing chickens.

Everyone was just an ordinary person, and escaping was the only choice when encountering such zombies.

The Walking Dead unfolded the other side of zombie films to the audience from a perspective completely different from Resident Evil.

That is despair, and the thrill of surviving in the cracks.

This undoubtedly added a thrilling and tense atmosphere.

In short, judging from the trailer, The Walking Dead was full of selling points.

And popular characters in Resident Evil such as Gao Liang, Jill, and Chris also appeared in The Walking Dead.

However, Luo Quan also said on Twitter that these characters in the film were just cameos and would not have too many plots.

The film was where they could show their skills, and the protagonists of the TV series were still Rick and them.

So this made Resident Evil fans happy and a bit regretful.

And as The Walking Dead was about to be broadcast, fans also began to shout, asking when Resident Evil 3 would be broadcast.

And for this question, Luo Quan could only say that it needed to wait for a while.

Because the third Resident Evil belonged to the end of a chapter and needed to be summary for a part.

Now the zombie universe had just been laid out, and there were many details that needed to be filled, so how could the final chapter be released so quickly?

So, although Luo Quan knew that fans couldn't wait to see Alice, Jill, Gao Liang, and them, she could only say that it needed to wait for a period of time.

And it was a very long time.

Of course, Alice wouldn't not appear at all.

In The Walking Dead TV series, she would definitely have to make a cameo, which could be considered as bringing traffic.

In addition, at the end of this year, the game of the same name Resident Evil developed by Blizzard Studio was about to be launched on Steam.

The current price was 299 RMB, and players would experience the plot in the first and second Resident Evil films from the perspective of Matt or Alice.

Compared to watching a film, the experience brought by playing the game would be more immersive.

And players could freely replace the clothes of the game character Alice and apply various mods.

This could also be considered a convention for computer 3A games; any female character couldn't escape this.

In short, the game quality was top-notch, and Resident Evil fans definitely couldn't miss it.

If it was just a pure game fan, it was definitely worth a try.

The only drawback was that the entire game process might be a bit short, and the price was a bit high. ===== CHAPTER 783 =====
