Chapter 392 The much-anticipated Oscar night
When Chen Linfeng got off the bus, the day's activities in China had just begun.
The red carpet started at seven o'clock in the evening, and by the time he appeared, it was almost eight o'clock.
At this time in China, due to daylight saving time in the beautiful country, it was also 8 o'clock in the morning, but many people had already woken up early.
Even earlier, from the red carpet, watching the live broadcast.
"Sunset" has gone through several highs and lows in its Oscar bid.
There has been constant news, big and small, especially recently. The momentum has become stronger and stronger, and the media is almost crazy, causing more and more people to pay attention.
In fact, this is also the case abroad. There are too many topics at this Oscars.
The three companies are competing for hegemony, causing the media to report on it every day, and the public also likes to see this.
Coupled with the invincibility of "Avatar".
As a result, the number of people paying attention to this Oscar is very large, reaching the highest audience in recent years, with more than 40 million viewers.
Even for the current red carpet, the ratings are much higher than last year.
Li Qingqing has been tracking relevant information since the end of last year.
Today is no exception.
She is now in college and no one cares about her, so she gets up quietly and washes up.
Then turn on the computer and go to the Six Princess's live show.
"Qingqing, why did you get up so early today?"
Among the roommates in the same dormitory, there was a person who was used to getting up early and running to study. When he came back after running, he saw that Li Qingqing was up, so he asked her strangely.
Li Qingqing gestured towards the computer screen, "The Oscars will be broadcast live in a while. I want to watch the God of Wind win the statuette."
"Ah, the Oscar is today?" Juanbi's roommate said in surprise.
In recent days, reports that Chen Linfeng and Zhang Yimou are expected to win the Oscar statuette can be seen almost everywhere.
She, who rarely surfs the Internet, has also heard about it.
And the most important thing is that Chen Linfeng played an important role in it.
Who hasn't fantasized about him when she was pregnant?
She was supposed to study as planned, but this was a critical moment for Fengshen and she couldn't miss it no matter what.
So she moved her chair over and watched with Li Qingqing.
An old place in Beijing Circle.
Da Chen, Wang Shuo, Zhang Guoli and others gathered early. They were all concerned about whether Chen and Zhang could win the award.
Especially Da Chen, who felt the most bitter in his heart.
It was fine the year before last. Although there were some minor flaws in "The Promise", the flaws were not concealed. The realm of vitality and all things competing was still before my eyes. Why did it become like this all of a sudden?
As for Wang Shuo, he had long been convinced, but he still kept track of Chen Linfeng's news out of habit.
Others, such as Na Young and Ye Dae Young, are just joining in the fun.
There are also Jiang Wen and Ge You, who finished filming "Let the Bullets Fly" at the end of last year and are here now.
"Brothers, what do you think of this Oscar? Is Lao Mouzi really going to win the award?" Jiang Wen asked first.
He was busy working on the later stages of "Let the Bullets Fly" and really didn't know much about the outside world.
Chen Kaige snorted, "Does that mean Lao Mouzi won the award? It was clearly Xiao Chen who led him to win the award."
Jiang Wendao said, "There's no need to say that. It's not like we don't know the situation of the two of them on the crew. We are each responsible for our own part. We can't say who is leading whom."
Chen Kaige was very disdainful, "As long as there is a good script, who can't do what Lao Mouzi does?"
His words had a somewhat sour taste.
The others didn't answer the question.
Ye Daying started talking again, "The winning situation of "Sunset" this time seems to be quite good, and I feel that there is a lot of hope."
Zhang Guoli echoed, "Indeed, there is a feeling that the general trend is inevitable. Who would have thought that there would be a situation where the opponent would play dirty tricks and harm himself."
Speaking of this, everyone started talking.
"Yeah, that guy named Chattier is like being beheaded. How could he be so stupid?" Chen Kaige was full of resentment.
"I'm sure Xiao Chen was too lucky and Chattier got carried away."
"Oh, you said that, it's really possible." Naying instantly thought of what happened when she wanted to retaliate but was too stupid to say anything.
Is this a sign that your luck is suppressed and your brain becomes chaotic?
It turns out that this is not my problem, it is caused by objective conditions.
Everyone was chatting about what might happen at this year's Oscars.
The backstage live broadcast room on TV was also talking about this matter.
For this live broadcast, Channel 6 obviously paid more attention to it than in previous years, and specially invited Zhu Jun to be the host.
In addition, Channel 6 host Tu Jingwei, who is very knowledgeable about film and television information, and Wang Rui, an insider who is also Chen Linfeng’s teacher and has a good relationship with Zhang Yimou.
Wang Rui made no secret of his support for the movie, "Why is this year the year with the greatest hope? It is because of the various Oscar forward-looking awards, and the performance of "Sunset" is very outstanding."
Here, he briefly introduces the concepts of Oscar Sentinel Awards and weathervanes.
Then he continued, "Just looking at the trends of various forward-looking awards, and considering that "Sunset" has a very good professional reputation, its chances of winning an Oscar are not small, and it must have at least one key award."
As a compliment, Zhu Jun asked, "What are the key awards you are talking about?"
"It is the four awards of Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor and Actor. Of course, for those of us outside the United States, the Best Foreign Language Film Award is also very important. After all, it represents that in the Oscars, it is very important. The best honorary title for beautiful Chinese films.”
"What Teacher Wang means is that you should be able to win at least one of the five awards originally. In other words, the situation is different now?"
"Yes, otherwise the Internet keeps saying that a godly opponent is no better than a pig teammate. On the other hand, Chattier, a pig rival, is a godly teammate.
His operation has greatly improved the winning momentum of "Sunset". The current result is even harder to predict, but overall, it is developing towards a better trend. "Because we are doing a program on Huayang Station, it is not convenient to poke people's lung tubes directly, but the email scandal was still mentioned at some point.
Zhu Jun promptly retracted the topic, "Okay, we all hope that our work "Sunset" can win many awards at this Oscars."
Then the live broadcast signal in front was turned on, and the Oscar red carpet scene appeared on the big screen in the back.
The screen in the backstage live broadcast room disappeared, leaving only the voice explaining.
"Okay, it's Oscar red carpet time now. It's 7pm local time. You can see that it's completely dark and the entire venue is brightly lit..."
This time the scenes of the Six Princesses being filmed on site were more detailed and complete than in previous years.
Live broadcast started from the red carpet, and some interviews at the end of the red carpet were also covered.
Of course, if some stars perform too much, the screen will be cut and then switched to the backstage studio scene.
The broadcast delay of the Six Princesses this time is much better than a few years ago.
Only about an hour late.
"The person appearing now is Cyrus, a young singer and actor. This year's Oscar party is based on the rejuvenation strategy and has invited many stars that young people like. Cyrus is one of them."
"The female star appearing now is Paula Patton. Hey, she has a big belly, which is hard enough..."
……
"Ryan Reynolds, a movie actor who rose to fame last year, played Deadpool in "The Wolverine". In June, the romantic comedy movie "Fake Marriage" took in $300 million at the box office.
Well, the reporter is taking pictures now. His neck must be a little tight and he is adjusting his tie..."
"Keanu Reeves appears, good guy, with this big beard, this guy should need no introduction, Neo, the savior of "The Matrix"..."
……
"Another vehicle has arrived. In the second half, almost all of them are heavyweight stars. Let's see who they are."
"It's Chen Linfeng! Ah, there's also director Zhang Yimou. The two directors got off the car together, and then came out teacher You Benchang..."
As soon as Chen Linfeng got out of the car, he felt the flashlight was a bit dazzling.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and waited for Zhang Yimou on the other side to get off the car.
Then he opened the front door and helped You Benchang get out of the car.
The three of them stood at the beginning of the red carpet and did not move, allowing reporters to take pictures.
The vehicle behind left and another one came.
Liu Qianqian and Lu Zhong came down.
There were a total of five of them participating in the red carpet from the "Sunset" crew, which was not easy to distribute.
Therefore, Chen Linfeng was not with Liu Qianqian.
Instead, they are divided into groups according to gender.
Chen Linfeng and Zhang Yimou walked in front with You Benchang between them, while Liu Qianqian and Lu Zhong kept a certain distance and walked behind.
"Sunset" is a big hit at this year's Oscars, and so far, it's no exaggeration to say it's the biggest hit.
The reporters almost pressed their shutters.
"Chen, stop for a moment and look here."
"zhang, this way!"
"..."
The three of them maintained normal speed, only stopping twice in the middle, and then walked all the way to the finish line.
They are not people who like to show off, so just follow the regular pattern and finish.
Even Chen Linfeng doesn't care about this temporary glory, he wants something more permanent.
The two ladies at the back were a little slower. They still had to show off their nice clothes.
Liu Qianqian once again put on beautiful Hanfu this time. She likes to wear it this way on grand occasions abroad.
She is really suitable for this style of clothes and outfit, and her appearance has been improved by more than one level.
The most important thing is that the contrast with other female stars is obvious and will never be ignored.
Just look at the performance of the reporters. When Chen Linfeng and the three big men passed by, all the cameras were focused on Liu Qianqian.
The studio backstage was also in awe.
"This is the second time Liu Qianqian has worn Hanfu since Cannes. In the past, almost no Chinese stars have done this. But now, on the red carpet of the Oscars, she shows the world the beauty of Chinese clothes..."
Li Qingqing looked a little dumbfounded, it was so beautiful.
Several roommates had all gotten up at this time, and they also sat back and watched.
They were chattering and discussing, "This dress is so beautiful. I really want to try it."
"The most important thing is that people are beautiful."
"I'm afraid that after putting it on, I will realize that it's not the clothes that are beautiful, but the person who is beautiful."
"Don't worry, it will definitely happen."
"Little hoof, you don't want it anymore, do you? Watch me tear it apart."
"..."
At the same time, female stars such as Zhou Xun, Fan Binbin, Yang Mi, Shu Chang, Liu Shishi, who were also watching the live TV broadcast, all had the same thoughts:
I want to try it too!
I also want to be so beautiful!
If you can't go to the Oscars for a while, you can always try other red carpets.
Fan Binbin even thought about the upcoming Berlin Film Festival.
Blanket star mode, activated.
