Chapter 86 The Departing Train
The biggest winner of this year's Oscars is "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".
In one fell swoop, it won five awards: Best Film, Best Actor and Actor, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.
Isabelle Adjani was indeed chosen by Yang Ye and failed to win the Best Actress award.
She and Yang Ye looked at each other in the air. Yang Ye cast a helpless look, and Adjani glared at him fiercely.
The awards ceremony continued, and when it was the turn of "Best Foreign Language Film", the large amount of lobbying money spent really worked.
The host Jim Kelly took the list of winners and announced loudly: "From Hong Kong..."Shaolin Temple"!"
Yang Ye, Hu Yinmeng, and Xie Yi suddenly Stand up and hug each other excitedly. The venue also burst into warm applause.
Then, Yang Ye did not go to the stage, but crossed the crowd and came to Adjani who was not far away from him, hugged her and kissed her passionately.
“Oh buy it!”
The scene suddenly erupted with exclamations. When Shay saw this, he immediately took the lead and blew the whistle.
Amidst the whistles and applause, Yang Ye stepped onto the podium.
He took the statuette and said calmly: "I prepared a small prop. I was originally worried that it would not be used and would become a laughing stock, but now I won't. Please bring up the prop I prepared."< br>
Everyone was curious about what props he had prepared and wanted to carry them up.
When I saw it clearly, I was stunned. Good guy, he actually lifted up the street lamp on the street. What was the purpose of lifting this thing up?
After the street lamp was lifted up, it was quickly fixed.
Yang Ye handed the statuette to the host and asked him to stand further away.
Then he exhaled, jumped in three steps, and kicked the lamp hanging on it to pieces with a single whirlwind kick.
“Oh buy it!”
“ChineseKungFu!”
The venue was full of incredible exclamations. The street lamp was almost three meters high. Yang Ye's kick was really amazing.
Host Jim Kelly ran up from the corner of the stage and said excitedly: "Oh, Nick, let me see your feet!"
Yang Ye stood up with his feet. , almost kicked him in the face.
“Oh Maika, this foot is so amazing. Quick, put your footprints on my dress.”
Yang Ye really printed it on his white suit As soon as he made a footprint, this guy immediately took off his white suit and wanted to auction it on the spot, which made the audience laugh.
After a while of commotion, Yang Ye hugged the statuette again and formally delivered his acceptance speech.
“Hello everyone, I am Yang Ye from China. I just performed the kick on the street lamp because many people watched my movie "Shaolin Temple" and questioned what the last kick in the movie was. Done. So, today I take this opportunity to give you a demonstration."
After saying this, there was a burst of thunderous applause, because this kick is so cool!
“This is the first time for a Chinese to stand on the Oscar podium. I want to thank the Hollywood judges. You are very discerning. I want to thank all the crew. This award belongs to us. Thank you to my beloved girl, I love you! Finally, I want to make an advertisement. "Shaolin Temple" is still in theaters. I hope people who haven't seen it can come to the cinema to watch our movie."
……
"Chinese films gain international prominence, Shaolin Temple wins Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film", this is the title of "Wen Wei Po".
"Yang Ye defeated Akira Kurosawa, Shaolin Temple won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film", this is the title of "Ming Pao".
"Yang Ye defeated Emperor Nippon, Akira Kurosawa hated Oscar! 》This is the title of "Industrial and Commercial Daily".
"Yang Ye passionately kissed French Rose Adjani at the Oscars!" ” This is the title of Oriental Daily.
"Yang Ye gave a shocking kick and broke a three-meter-high street lamp! "This is the title of "Sing Tao Daily".
...
For this era, the impact of "Shaolin Temple" winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is not as great as the time it won in Cannes.
But this time I won the award by defeating the film emperor Akira Kurosawa. The meaning is completely different. It is filled with national sentiment.
So, all the major media in the Chinese world were crazy about it, and Yang Ye's image became taller and taller, and he was awarded the title of "Anti-Japanese Hero!"
...Jiahe began to re-screen "Shaolin Temple" 》.
But this time I was more honest. I said hello to Xia Meng first and then I would share the money.
"Fist of Heroes" was officially canceled after the box office reached 10.08 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming the first blockbuster film to exceed 10 million Hong Kong box office.
Actually, it could be higher, but Anle Cinema bought the copyright of "Jaws" and directly copied "Fist of Heroes". There is no solution.
In the United States, Yang Ye’s stunning kick on the podium also triggered widespread discussion.
Leveraging on the success of the award-winning film and Shay's expanded publicity, "Shaolin Temple" has been released in North America for four months, and the box office curve has begun to pick up again.
At this time, "Shaolin Temple" has achieved a box office of 15 million US dollars.
After the box office rebounded, Shay once again expanded the scale of screenings, allowing the number of screening theaters to officially exceed 1,000.
This is a treatment only available to Hollywood blockbusters.
On the one hand, the box office of "Shaolin Temple" is picking up again, and on the other hand, Xie Yi has begun to intensively promote Yang Ye's new film "Fist of Heroes".
The fighting in "Fist of Heroes" is more exciting than that in "Shaolin Temple". In such movies, there is simply a ceiling.
The only drawback is that the plot is not universal enough.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: "The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same. I only think they are noisy."
The hatred between country and family described in "Fist of Heroes" has spread beyond East Asia and Southeast Asia. People in other areas cannot relate to it because it has nothing to do with them. Therefore, although this movie is more exciting than Shaolin Temple in terms of action scenes, its box office performance in Europe is slightly weaker than "Shaolin Temple".
But its performance in Nanyang was even more ferocious than in "Shaolin Temple".
...
“I’m going back, sing another song for me!”
Ajani is going back to France, and Yang Ye has many things to do, so he has to stay temporarily. here.
The two found a French restaurant to have separate dinners.
Yang Ye sighed, it seems... he will continue to pick up Elena's wool.
He gestured to the waiter, called him over and said, "Can you tell the band that I want to sing a song for my female companion."
The waiter nodded and ran over After muttering with the band for a while, the music flowing in the restaurant stopped abruptly.
The waiter nodded to Yang Ye, and Yang Ye stood up and apologized to the piano player, who then gave up his seat to Yang Ye.
Yang Ye sat down, adjusted the microphone, and then said: "Tomorrow, my friend will leave Los Angeles and return to Paris. At this moment of separation, I want to sing a song for her. A song "The Disappearing Train" (Author's note: French song title cetrainquis'enva), for you, Isabelle Adjani!"
"Oh..."
There are so many French people in this restaurant, how could the French not recognize Adjani?
When they heard Adjani's name, they immediately searched for her. Their eyes soon fell on Adjani and raised their glasses to her!
Ajani felt everyone's kind eyes, bit her lip, and listened to Yang Ye singing:
I shouldn't have come, I should have learned to lie
Only Seal your smile in memory
I wanted to leave my hope behind and make my farewell full of affection
Looking at this train, leaving me
Going away...
Going away...
The sound of the piano flows like water, and Yang Ye's singing is low and soothing, with a touch of sadness.
Although everyone has never heard of this song, this classic French song is obviously very popular with them.
Everyone closed their eyes slightly and listened quietly:
I know this is difficult, but I am still learning to accept it
How can I hide my feelings from you? Secret
But what good does it do to lie to you
I'm so sad to see you leave
Look at this train, away from me
Go away...
Go away...
The lyrics were too appropriate for the occasion and the melody was too moving. Adjani's tears eventually fell.
The singing slowly ended, and so did the piano playing.
The diners in the restaurant applauded one after another, and people sighed: "It's so romantic, such a moving song..."
"Only such a song is worthy of this song. Jiani!"
"Who is this young man? He can actually win Ajiani's heart?"
Yang Ye stood up, walked towards Ajiani, and stretched out his hand. With one hand, he said politely: "Dear Isabelle, can I ask you to dance?"
Adjani smiled in tears, stood up, put her little hand in Yang Ye's palm, and danced gracefully in the cheers of the crowd...
The skirt of her skirt was flying, her long hair was flying, and Adjani was dancing around Yang Ye turned left and right, as if flying in a dream...
When the song ended, Adjani's face turned red, she pulled up her skirt and gave a standard thank you to the audience, and the applause was like thunder. It sounded like a sound.
"Yang, I will always remember this night, just like I remember that night..."
...
After Adjani left, Yang Ye began intensive film promotion work.
North America is the largest film market in the world, and Yang Ye still attaches great importance to it.
He cooperated with Shay throughout the entire process.
The Oscar live performance won him great fame, making Nick Young's name famous in North America, and helped the box office of "Shaolin Temple" to soar.
At this time, of course, discordant voices emerged, the most typical one being...the American boxing community sneered at Yang Ye.
Boxing champion Foreman faced a reporter's interview and said contemptuously: "Of course monkeys can jump high, but they can't withstand a punch."
Boxing champion Ali even said arrogantly: "Foreman is too much." I’m being humble, I think Nick will break his own bones if he kicks me.”
The reporters excitedly told Yang Ye these rubbish words, and of course Yang Ye refused to show weakness.
After listening to the trash talk relayed by reporters, he told reporters bluntly: "If the American conquest allows it, I will challenge these bullshit boxing champions. No gloves, no protection. Fight without rules, don't ask me to pay for it if you die!"
After hearing this, Forman immediately responded: "I have already meant this. If I win, I will make him kneel down! Come down and bite me!”
Ali scorned both black and white: "Nick has to beat Foreman to be qualified to challenge me."
Yang Ye responded with a look of disgust: "If Foreman loses, I will Let the bull come over and let him bite.”
Reporters happily passed on information to each other, and the two sides exchanged trash talk. Under the crazy hype of the media, the situation was about to break out!
I owe a chapter today and will make up for it tomorrow. It is a bit difficult for me to update 10,000 words every day, so the update time cannot be fixed for the time being. However, I will adjust my status as soon as possible. Please support me.
