Chapter 546
Translator: Lan Editor: Efydatia
Miramax was a local film company, but it had invested a lot in media promotion . The director of the film was a controversial celebrity, so when Qin Guan and his team returned to America, they found a grand reception waiting for them .
It was the first time Qin Guan was enjoying an official welcoming ceremony . There were reporters instead of fans waiting for them at the airport .
"George, someone pointed out acutely that the film was saved by the performance of the leading actor . It didn’t have any other redeeming qualities . What do you think about this?"
"George, European critics gave the film three stars because they found it boring . Do you agree with that?"
Qin Guan felt sorry for his director as he heard those harsh questions . Soon, the reporters turned to him .
"Mr . Qin Guan, this is not your first time to win a Best Actor Award at a European film festival, but people say that you can only act in indie films . What do you think about that?"
"Mr . Qin Guan, you have won two Best Actor Awards now . Do you think you qualify to star in a teen comedy?"
"I heard that no other actors had a chance of getting cast in ‘Mean Girls’ after your audition . Does this mean that you are a good actor, or are you just sabotaging inexperienced actors?"
"Mr . Qin Guan, why didn't you get cast in ‘50 First Dates’?"
The reporters seemed well-prepared . Now that Qin Guan had won a second award, some people seemed eager to steal some of his fame . As a profit-oriented company, Miramax was taking advantage of this to distribute copies of the film all over the country .
George Clooney was annoyed by the reporters . Thanks to the rest of the crew, he and Qin Guan got into a car and headed downtown . They parted when they reached the urban area .
Only when Qin Guan returned to his apartment and put the Silver Bear next to the Golden Palm did he realize that all this was actually happening . A second award! I’m getting closer to my goal!
Qin Guan was focused on getting married . Meanwhile, Sister Xue was reading through the day’s newspapers . There were photos of Qin Guan with the Silver Bear on the front pages with the striking title "The indie film fairy" .
The next day, the news were published by the domestic media . Chinese people didn’t pay much attention to foreign films . They only knew that a director named Li Yang had won an award for his first film, while famous director Zhang Yimou had only gotten a consolation prize . Meanwhile, a strange Chinese young man had won the Best Actor Award for an American film .
The Chinese had won plenty of awards at the festival, which was a good outcome . They had no idea that on the Haijiao forum, fans of Qin Guan, Ge You and Chen Daoming were fighting fiercely over the value of the mainland actors .
Thanks to his Best Actor Award at Cannes and solid foundation on the China mainland, Ge You was neck to neck with Qin Guan . The talented actor was also a handsome man of the previous generation . Chen Daoming also had a lot of Chinese fans . The domestic prizes he had won were more than Qin Guan’s .
Qin Guan's fans lost the battle, the invincible girls getting crushed by a larger population .
"A supporting actor can also win a Best Actor Award! Does this mean the actors’ skills are not comparable?"
"He is really limited as an actor . He acts only in indie films abroad . Those films win prizes very easily . "
"Why doesn’t he act in domestic indie films, so we can evaluate his acting skills objectively?"
"Yes, the two films were not in theaters in China . Maybe he just portrayed a funny countryman!"
"The ‘Blind Shaft’ only tells a story of miners . It’s destroying our reputation!"
That was the disadvantage of misinformation . The abundant analysis of the dark side of humans in Chinese indie films made the audience flinch . When one talked about Chinese indie films, their first thought was their depressing feeling .
That was why they did not care about the award-winning indie actor . They focused on films about realistic everyday stories instead .
As a result, the news about Qin Guan were soon pushed aside by other gossip . His influence would be decided by L’Oreal and Tiffany, which had rushed into the Chinese market in a formidable way .
The principal of L’ Oreal wanted everything to be perfect . In the summer of 2003, the king made his presence known in Asia .
