Chapter 759 Tears at Oscar...
"Matt, are you sure?" Lin Nan raised his voice involuntarily.
"Yes, I'm sure. Tom Hanks was on vacation with his family recently and did not attend the Oscars."
Hearing this answer, Lin Nan called him a good guy in his heart.
He was just skeptical before, but now he is almost certain - Juli Pictures has "produced" a "big drama".
They shot in Hollywood, used the Academy Award as the material, and used Huang Shengyi as the heroine. They performed an "inspirational suffering movie" with a "big heroine" for the entire mainland film and television and entertainment circles!
The final ending of this "movie" is that God did not fulfill his wishes and ended in a regrettable tragedy.
The plot is reasonable and eye-catching, and the heroine receives a lot of sympathy and comfort. Topics, fans, and popularity all skyrocket!
If everything goes well, Huang Shengyi will return to the public eye with this "big drama" and usher in the second spring of his acting career.
“It’s so crazy! Was this ten years ago? The film and television industry, the media and netizens were all fooled into thinking they were fools? Today’s news and information are not as censored as they used to be! You guys have seen each other a long time ago So knowledgeable!”
Lin Nan couldn't help but say something contemptuous. When the news reaches China, it will definitely be very lively both in the industry and online.
"Lin, what are you talking about?"
Leonardo and the other three were a little confused by Lin Nan's sudden move to speak Chinese.
"It's nothing, I'm just talking about a clown. Okay, let's get ready, it's almost four o'clock."
As Lin Nan said, it's red carpet time for the Oscars Coming soon.
At this moment, Hollywood has finally ushered in the end of the awards season, which is also the climax of the climax.
The magnificent scene of huge crowds of people outside the Dolby Theater was even better than the Golden Globe Awards ceremony a month and a half ago.
After all, Oscar is the greatest honor in Hollywood and the goal of countless filmmakers.
A quarter past four o'clock, the motorcade carrying Lin Nan, Leonardo, Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain drove out of Beverly Hills.
At the same time, a large number of filmmakers, actors and stars are also gathering outside the Dolby Theater.
The closer everyone gets to their destination, the closer the vehicle's driving speed is to a turtle speed, which is so slow that it makes people panic!
Domestic time, it is already past eight o'clock in the morning.
The entire Internet is full of news about the Oscars ceremony, as well as the interview about Lin Nan that was just sent back by the movie channel. This is the only one.
“The red carpet of the 87th Academy Awards ceremony is about to begin; the scene is buzzing with people, and countless media and fans are waiting eagerly...”
“Two hours ago, the movie channel Interviewed Director Lin Nan in Beverly Hills and got the exact news: Lin Nan Pictures will start shooting a new film in the first half of the year, directed by Director Lin Nan himself, and the film type will be a commercial film. ”
"Shocked to hear that Huang Shengyi was rushed to the Los Angeles City Hospital for rescue three hours ago. The specific situation is unknown and needs further understanding... I wish him safe and sound and can step on the red carpet on time..."
...
There was a lot of news, and the domestic film and television industry was a little overwhelmed for a while.
But a large number of actors, artists, film and television companies, and brokerage companies have basically remembered one message, that is: Director Lin Nan is going to make a new movie, and it is a commercial film!
In the minds of 99% of people in the industry, this is undoubtedly the biggest cake in the film industry this year!
Chinese film box office record holder, Golden Lion, Golden Bear and Double Golden Director, Silver Bear, Golden Ball, Golden Horse Best Director... All of Lin Nan's names are constantly flashing in the minds of countless actors!
Maybe, maybe in two or three hours, there will be one more item?
“The first half of the year? In other words, Director Lin will prepare a new movie immediately after returning from Hollywood?!”
“It’s not easy. Director Lin’s last commercial film was the year before last "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has been going on for a year and a half, and a new movie is finally about to be released."
"Keep an eye on the news from Lin Nan Pictures, especially the casting... ”
...
In less than half an hour, the news that Lin Nan was planning to develop a new film became a headline that the entire film and television industry was paying attention to.
In terms of popularity, it is even on par with news about the Oscars.
Guang Guang and Wanda were completely confused. They had never heard of it before, and now they were really a little panicked.
“Let’s ask about him after he comes back.”
.........
Looking at the sunset that was about to disappear outside, Lin Nan complained speechlessly.
“It’s been half an hour, I guess I only walked a kilometer, right?”
“It seems that someone fell down on the red carpet, and someone else exceeded the time limit, so it caused congestion.” The assistant on the co-pilot answered Lin Nan.
In the extended business Benz, Lin Nan and the four of them looked at each other in confusion. Well, no need to guess, it must be a female star!
The sound of music and shouts are getting closer and closer, and the Dolby Theater is in front of us.
“Oh, there is rarely a time when you have to wait for the Oscar red carpet. I didn’t expect that we would bump into it this year. Leon, you must have encountered it many times, right?”
When he arrived outside the Dolby Theater, looking at the huge crowd of people and the guest waiting area, Matt Damon made a joke.
"That's right, who got me nominated more times than you, Matt!"
The two hurt each other and ended up tied.
"Lin, Leon, Matt, Jessica, please go to the waiting area to rest for a while." The staff in front of the red carpet invited.
"Well, okay."
The four of them followed the hostess and left the parking area in front of the red carpet surrounded by security. Countless movie fans kept chanting their names.
“It’s Crystal!”
Jessica shouted excitedly as soon as she entered the waiting area.
In fact, Lin Nan was the first to see Liu Yifei, at first sight.
Girl Liu, dressed in a red dress, looks skinnier than snow; her tall figure is no less impressive than the Hollywood actresses in the crowd.
The calm manner in which she moves and the smile on her face all reflect her confidence and aura!
The long black hair is slightly wavy and draped on the shoulders, and there is still a hint of charm; but look at that face again, yes, it is pure!
The shiny full-diamond bracelet on her wrist shone brightly and was very eye-catching when she lifted her hair from her ears...
"Lin, we meet again."
It wasn't until Marion Cotillard, who was wearing a white dress, waved to Lin Nan, that Liu Yifei, who was chatting with her, reacted.
She looked at Lin Nan in surprise, and a sweet smile suddenly overflowed on her face, "Lin Nan, you are finally here."
He walked over in three or two steps, and Lin Nan held his hand Lifting Liu Yifei's hand, she greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, Marion. Tonight, you and Jessica are competitors."
Lin Nan pointed to Jessica Chastain a few meters away. , joked.
"Then I'm not afraid of her. I've already won the Oscar for Best Actress." Marion Cotillard was equally confident.
While the three of them were reminiscing about old times, people kept coming over to say hello to Lin Nan.
Scarlett Johansson, who is wearing a dark green long skirt, looks very protruding; Naomi Watts' fish scale-like patchwork skirt is also very eye-catching;
When Darko When Ta Johnson came over wearing a backless slit dress, many people remembered that "Fifty Shades of Grey" is a movie produced by Crystal Pictures!
“The more powerful the actresses are, the more conservative they dress. They all rely on their temperament. Just like Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett...”
When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were commenting on the actresses on the scene, Nolan signaled.
"Lin Nan, the crew and I will go in first, see you later. Maybe we will be very close."
Liu Yifei smiled and blinked her right eye, so beautiful. things.
"Okay, see you later."
Ten minutes after the crew of "Interstellar" walked on the red carpet, Lin Nan, Leonardo and others were also arranged by the staff , officially stepped onto the red carpet of the Oscars.
By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and it was early eight o'clock in the evening.
"Director Lin, come on!"
The people from the movie channel were carrying cameras, following Lin Nan's steps in the infield, and gave him a thumbs up, which was quite conspicuous.
"Thank you and happy New Year."
Lin Nan smiled and nodded, and said the last three words to the camera.
After a month and a half, I walked into the Dolby Theater again. The atmosphere at this awards ceremony was even more enthusiastic than the last Golden Globe Awards.
Following the guidance of the staff, Lin Nan and the four found the location of "Manchester by the Sea".
Looking at the "Interstellar" crew and Liu Yifei who looked "depressed" five meters away, Lin Nan could only give her a "helpless" expression.
As crews, filmmakers, actors and stars entered the venue one after another, the domestic entertainment industry and social platforms were already out of control.
Juli Pictures and Yang Zi himself are constantly "clarifying" and "explaining" that Huang Shengyi's invitation to participate in the Oscars is not fake, not directed and acted by the company, and not deceiving the public... one after another An accident occurred, and it was really an accident!
But how do you say that? Yang Zai and Ju Li don't have such a thing as character, and no one on the Internet believes them.
“This is deceiving everyone as fools and fools!”
“First the dress was stolen, attracting a large amount of traffic; then the new dress was ‘crowdfunded’ and chartered to Hollywood , the topic is overwhelming again; it’s finally time to go to the red carpet, and you still fainted after playing like this? Where did Juli Pictures find the screenwriter? It’s so outdated and stupid! "Everything is wrong!"
"Huang Shengyi and Juli Pictures have never posted photos of their dresses or invitations from Hollywood. Everything is said and posted by themselves. Draft!"
"Is it a script? Acting, right? Since "Kung Fu", Huang Shengyi has been an "acting guy". This so-called participation in the Oscars fully illustrates the film industry. I owe her a ‘movie queen’!”
"I have never seen such a shameless actor. It's embarrassing to go to Hollywood! He is full of cleverness and unlimited hype... Ju Li is a typical male thief and female prostitute..."
"What? There is no news, but they took a few photos of Huang Shengyi lying on the hospital bed with a "painful face" to explain? Juli Pictures would like to tell you what disease caused her to faint.
Why did she say that? She needs to be rescued so that she can wake up and rest on her own. Is her life not in danger yet? I don’t think she needs further hospitalization. Once the Oscar ceremony is over, her condition will be cured.”
"This is the biggest joke since the beginning of the new year, the most shameless clown!"
"I went to Hollywood to act in a real-life version of "Gone Girl"! I used Oscars to hype up, but I didn't even look at what I was responsible for. Can’t afford the risk of revealing your secret? You’re just looking for death!”
"It's been more than three hours since the red carpet started and Tom Hanks...hasn't appeared yet..."
…………
Lin Nan rubbed his face with both hands to draw his attention. Try to concentrate as much as possible.
It is now the warm-up performance before the awards ceremony, and standing on the stage is Lady Gaga.
Although this person often has some weird looks, when it comes to singing, there is no doubt that he is a capable person.
In less than ten minutes, another queen-level singer, Taylor Swift, took the stage again. Matt Damon teased in a low voice:
“Tsk, tsk, another song written for an ex-boyfriend. Leon, I think you need to learn from her. Take it easy, haha..."
"You talk a lot of nonsense. How many people she wrote in the song didn't get scolded? Who didn't get a rise in their career after breaking up with me peacefully? ?”
Nah, Lin Nan looked at Leonardo in shock. Good guy, you said it so nakedly?
Jessica Chastain looked at the two men with equal disdain and shook her head.
"You should still care about the results of tonight's awards, right? Our competitors are all very strong!"
The expressions of the three of them suddenly became more solemn after hearing Lin Nan's words.
More than half of tonight’s Oscar opponents have encountered them at the Golden Globe Awards;
But this does not mean that "Manchester by the Sea" can win at the Golden Globe Awards. You can also win at the Oscars. Because the facts have told everyone countless times that the difference between the two awards is still very big.
During the nearly one-hour warm-up performance, Lin Nan was really bored and glanced at Liu Yifei countless times.
Miss Liu could instantly detect his gaze every time and respond with various expressions and smiles.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 87th Academy Awards Party..."
When the host appeared on the stage wearing only a pair of shorts, Lin Nan was blinded. eyes.
It is indeed the Oscars that are used to celebrate achievements once a year. It is really fun.
"Is this a tribute to the scene in "Birdman"?"
Many people thought of this belatedly, including Lin Nan and Leonardo.
"The director of "Birdman" is also the director of "The Revenant."
Leonardo said suddenly, with a rather complicated tone.
He hopes that his new director will win the award, but he doesn’t want the latter to win the award tonight!
After all, he was nominated for Best Actor for "Manchester By the Sea" and all other films were competitors.
"...Today there are still many familiar friends who will compete for the statuette, so next, we will enter the award ceremony..."
As the voice on the stage fell , everyone at the scene immediately became very energetic, and the moment finally came when the answer was revealed.
"The winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, "Sister Ida"..."
Lin Nan applauded along with everyone. He thought of the domestic film industry's most important attitude towards the Oscar. The level of obsession with winning the Best Foreign Language Film Award, zhidaoxianzai is really obsessed!
Best documentary short, best documentary feature, best live-action short, best animated short, best animated feature...
Marginal awards were awarded one after another, followed by some more important awards. .
The Golden Globe Award for Best Picture, Musical/Comedy, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" performed very strongly.
After winning three statuettes in a row for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Costume Design, and Best Art Direction, it was ended by "Interstellar."
However, the crew of "Interstellar" only won the Best Visual Effects Award.
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, who held up the Little Golden Man trophy that the crew had just received and shook it at him.
Nolan and Matthew McConaughey on the side shouted to him with smiles on their faces: "Lin, it's up to you!"
"We're almost there... …”
Jessica’s words drew the attention of Lin Nan and the others back to the award podium. We are only two or three away from the Best Original Screenplay award.
"Oscar for Best Editing: "Crunch"
...
"Oscar for Best Cinematography: "Birdman"..."
...
"Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay: Graham Moore, "The Imitation Game," congratulations!"
With the award for Best Adapted Screenplay announced, "Manchester by the Sea" is finally up for grabs for its first of six nominations.
While giving his acceptance speech on the stage, Lin Nan was already a little agitated.
To be honest, he already has the Best Original Screenplay Award, and his desire to win this award for the second time is not very strong. He wants further back!
"Lin Nan..."
The voice calling from the side was Liu Yifei.
Lin Nan originally wanted to give her an OK gesture, but somehow it turned into a scissor hand gesture, which finally earned her a nice look.
"Winner of the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay: Nicholas Gakkobone, "Birdman", congratulations!"
Hearing this answer, Lin Nan didn't feel any regret, but felt a little relaxed, and muttered With: "Good things are saved for last."
"Lin, we still have five nominations."
When Matt Damon said this, he still stuttered For a moment, he was more nervous than anyone else. Because next, it’s the awards for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress.
At this time, Leonardo and Jessica Chastain both looked silent, and even their legs were shaking slightly.
Everyone is very nervous!
"Matt, it's time for you..."
Before Lin Nan finished speaking, he was interrupted by someone on the awards stage:
"Oscar Winner of the Best Supporting Actress Award: Patricia Arquette, "Boyhood", congratulations!"
I have no intention of cheering Matt Damon, because the next one is the best. Supporting Actor Award.
Actors who can win the same award at the Golden Globe and Oscar are basically all real talents, just like this Best Supporting Actress.
The moment she walked off the stage, Lin Nan and others could clearly detect that Matt Damon was getting more nervous. Even Liu Yifei's eyes were always wandering between Lin Nan and the others and the award podium.
"Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actor, J.K. Simmons, "Crunch", congratulations!"
The list is revealed, it's not Matt!
He paused, then smiled helplessly in the eyes of several people, leaned back on the chair, and said mockingly:
"It's over, it has nothing to do with me anymore. Lin, Leon, Jessica, it's up to you."
Golden Globe, Berlin, Oscar. Matt Damon is the first among the cast of "Manchester by the Sea" to complete three stops!
"There will be opportunities in the future." Lin Nan could only comfort him like this.
At this point, out of six nominations, only four are left. And the Oscar awards that have not yet been announced are these four!
"Jessica, come on."
Liu Yifei's clear voice sounded, as if she was very close.
"Crystal, I..."
"The winner of the Oscar for Best Actress..."
The voice on the awards stage sounded again, and Jessica subconsciously turned It was too much, and so were Lin Nan and the others.
"...Julianne Moore, "Still Alice," congratulations!"
Jessica Chastain was still not as good as Matt Damon just now. The emotions of loss, depression, and decadence instantly surged into her heart and were written on her face.
"Jessica, that's Julianne Moore, the real grand slam!" Lin Nan said.
"It's not unfair for you to lose to her."
Leonardo's tone was very light, and he was obviously still nervous about the upcoming Best Actor award.
“Julianne Moore…”
Jessica Chastain muttered, although she felt very uncomfortable, but she admitted that the other party really deserved the award, including Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Golden Globe, Guild and today's Oscar, the Grand Slam Film Awards back!
"I understand. Lin, if you have a movie in the future, remember to consider me. Crystal and I have a very good relationship..."
Hearing Jessica's first words, Lin Nan was still nodding, it was nothing, it was easy to talk about, he always liked to use acquaintances;
But after hearing her last words, Director Lin suddenly turned dark. How come you, a foreign girl, know this?
Just when Lin Nan returned Jessica's speechless look, Leonardo couldn't tell whether he was trembling with excitement or nervousness.
He has been competing for the Olympics for 20 years, and every time he looks forward to the Oscar statuette with the most sincere and sincere yearning.
To this day, he is still eager for it!
The eyes of all the guests and filmmakers gathered on the stage.
"Winner of the Oscar for Best Actor: Eddie Redmayne, "The Theory of Everything", congratulations!"
With a bang, the scene was in chaos.
Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Matt Damon, and Jessica Chastain all looked at Leonardo. Many guests at the scene also glanced here intentionally or unintentionally.
Leonardo's blue pupils were blurred. He held most of his face with his hands and wiped them vigorously, just like ordinary people would relieve fatigue.
The next second, he closed his eyes tightly, his breathing was completely out of rhythm, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably.
Lin Nan and Jessica, who were sitting on the left and right, could clearly see the water stains in the corners of his eyes, which were undoubtedly tears.
The 21st year of trying for the Olympics, failed.
"Leon, that movie is exactly the opposite of "Manchester by the Sea". Maybe that's the main reason..."
Four out of six, Lin Nan was also panicking now. But as a very good friend, he still wanted to comfort Leonardo.
"Leon, take your time."
"Well, you will succeed sooner or later."
Matt Damon and Jessica said successively.
"I, they..."
Opening his mouth, Leonardo just spat out a few words feebly and then never spoke again.
He opened his eyes, his blue pupils were bloodshot, red, and filled with tears.
Liu Yifei also frowned, with a hint of melancholy beauty on her delicate face. She was worried about Lin Nan.
