Chapter 395 Making history, the best actress and director, I am the best movie
Chen Linfeng couldn't imagine how embarrassing it would be if it were him, listening to such disgusting compliments and having to react while being filmed by the camera.
It really makes my scalp numb just thinking about it.
But fortunately, those who can be nominated are all top-notch actors who can resist. Maybe others find it embarrassing, but they themselves may be happy with it.
Then the guest who announced the awards, Sean Penn, the best actor at the last Oscar, began to introduce the five nominated heroines one by one.
Whenever the award presenter names a nominated actor, a real-time shot of the actor will appear on the screen, showing the actor's current expression, demeanor and movements.
By the end, all five actors appeared on the screen.
They are tonight's Oscar nominees.
The five women, who are probably the best at acting in the world, faced the camera with decent smiles, as if they didn't really care, and were solemn enough to express that they valued the award.
"The winner of the Best Actress is LvZhong "Sunset", congratulations."
Due to the delay in live broadcast, several people in the studio already knew the result.
But Zhu Jun still pretended to know it for the first time and said with great surprise,
"China's first Oscar for Best Actress appeared, and it was won by Teacher Lu Zhong. She created new history!
This is the prelude to the rise of Chinese films and represents the beginning of the influence of Chinese cultural industries in the world. Let us congratulate Teacher Lu. ”
"..."
The sisters in Li Qingqing's dormitory clapped excitedly. As Zhu Jun said in the studio, this is new history.
They are excited about this fact.
Most of the people in the Beijing circle were men. They simply congratulated Lu Zhong. After all, it was none of their business. It was a good thing for a Chinese to have such an achievement.
For many female celebrities, it's a bit complicated.
The Oscar-winning actress is something that I don’t even dare to think about in my dreams.
How dare someone receive such an honor.
Female celebrities who are ambitious and preparing to break out into the international market, such as Fan Binbin and Li Binbin, have raised their ambition ratings.
Since some Chinese people can become Oscar-winning actresses, then it should be okay for them to aim for it, right?
People who have been working abroad for many years, such as Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, know even more how difficult it is.
It’s not a question of whether you want to work hard or not, but whether you have the opportunity.
Xiao Chen is so fierce that he actually launched an Oscar-winning actress.
At the Kodak Theatre, Lu Zhong burst into tears while speaking.
She was as if she was in a dream at this time, and she didn't notice that all the guests in the audience had stood up out of concern for the Best Actress Award.
What Lu Zhong said the most was to thank Chen Linfeng and Zhang Yimou for giving her this opportunity.
Among the crew, they also listened to Director Chen's guidance on acting skills.
Finally, I emphatically thanked the country and people for their support, which is also a habit of the older generation.
Chen Linfeng smiled and clapped, feeling that this habit was quite good.
After Best Actress, comes Best Actor.
This time, there was really no hope.
I can't give you both acting awards, even if there are not many beautiful Chinese works.
Sure enough, the Best Actor award went to Jeff Bridges in "Crazy Heart."
Mr. You looked very calm, he had been prepared early.
Winning an award is indeed a bit fateful.
The male protagonist he played was indeed not as good as the heroine in terms of plot tension.
If it were an ordinary actor, he would still be able to defeat him, but Lu Zhong was also a strong player, so there was nothing he could do.
Chen Linfeng wanted to turn around and comfort him, but seeing that the old man was really open-minded, he didn't say any more.
He decided to go back and help the old man play more.
Originally, Teacher You was guilty of right and wrong crimes.
The battle for hegemony among the Three Kingdoms has reached its final stage.
Award for Best Director!
In fact, so far, "Sunset" is obviously better. After all, it has won the best actress and the best foreign language film.
In fact, by now, Chen Linfeng's mentality has calmed down a lot.
The expected goal has been achieved long ago, and the rest is pure profit.
However, Chen Linfeng was shocked when he saw the award-winning guests appearing.
It turned out to be Li An! ?
Generally speaking, the award guests for the male and female protagonists will be the winners of the previous year.
For example, the person who just awarded the Best Actor award was Kate Winslet, the winner of the last Oscar.
In other aspects, such as the best director award presenter, the program team will consider the effect of the program to some extent, or try to find people related to the winner.
When Li An appears, who is he related to?
Chen Linfeng's heart was beating a little.
Li An followed the process and introduced the six directors of the five nominated films one by one.
When talking about "Sunset", he also specifically mentioned his relationship and opinions with the two directors.
"I am very familiar with directors Chen and Zhang. One of them has reached the pinnacle of artistic techniques, and the other is extremely good at thinking up good stories and has the ultimate imagination. The combination of these two people created the perfection of "Sunset" .”
Six directors appeared on the screen at the same time:
Kathryn Bigelow - "The Hurt Locker";
James Cameron - "Avatar";
Jason Reitman - "Up in the Clouds";
Quentin Tarantino - "Inglourious Basterds";
Chen Linfeng, Zhang Yimou - "Sunset".
Chen Linfeng's expression was so calm that it seemed a bit deliberate, and his posture was very upright. He quietly watched Li An's movements on the stage.
I saw him slowly opening the envelope, then taking out the letter, taking a look at it, and then announced with a slightly surprised expression:
"The winners of this year's Best Director are... Chen Linfeng and Zhang Yimou, "Sunset"."
Everyone present was a little shocked.
It was actually given to these two Chinese directors.
This is completely different from the previous award-winning situation when Li An won the award for "Brokeback Mountain".
You know, "Brokeback Mountain" is an authentic American movie after all. "Sunset" is a purely foreign film, and it won the best foreign language film.
It's like setting a precedent.
The scene seemed to be suddenly silent for a moment.
Fortunately, the camera was not shown to the scene, but to the six directors.
Then, Quentin took the lead to break the calm, smiled and stood up to applaud.
James Cameron also smiled and applauded.
Kathryn Bigelow smiled wryly and started clapping too.
Chen Linfeng and Zhang Yimou started celebrating early.
The two hugged everyone around them, and then walked briskly onto the stage.
Zhang Yimou, as always, insisted on letting Chen Linfeng speak first.
He was not polite and stood in front of the microphone.
Good news continued today, and even Chen Linfeng felt a little relaxed.
"Actually, it's a little unfair to win the Best Director award."
Everyone didn't know what he meant. Could it be that he was distracted and wanted to stir up trouble?
"After all, Director Zhang and I are two people, and everyone is one person. In comparison, we have a numerical advantage."
It turns out to be such an injustice.
Everyone smiled, how can you say this.
It doesn’t mean that having more directors will take advantage. In many cases, things will get messed up and become worse.
This is obviously a joke.
Chen Linfeng continued to review, "Furthermore, my age is not in line with my age. I am too young. Obviously, during the confrontation, there was a young guy who took too much advantage.
When others look at it, they think, hey, we are all old-timers. It’s not that we can’t beat you, but if we beat you, it shows that we don’t care about children, so we might as well give in to you. ”
Quentin laughed, he understood, he had to listen to the opposite.
Chen is detailing their difficulties in winning the award.
Cameron also smiled, funny boy.
"In addition, we are a foreign crew and we have taken advantage of it. This is true. Because we are rare, the judges will be curious, and we naturally have an advantage. So I am sorry to win the best director."< br>
Ha~ha.
Some of the guests laughed out loud.
How long does the mail door exist, so where does the advantage of foreign films come from?
But they basically understood what Chen Linfeng was talking about.
It is indeed not easy for a foreign film to overcome so many difficulties and win the best director award. This is what he deserves.
The audience burst into warm applause.
"Finally," Chen Linfeng said seriously, "I know that I am still young, and a big factor in winning this award is because Director Zhang is here, so the judges have to consider giving him a face.
< br>
Next time, next time I will bring a complete work of my own to compete for the Oscars again. I hope everyone will feel that I have made some progress by then, thank you.
Finally, I would like to thank the domestic fans for their support, thank you..."
Chen Linfeng took a step back and handed his position to Zhang Yimou.
This last paragraph is an explanation to the Oscar judges and Hollywood, letting them know that there will be a next time.
For the Oscars, as long as they can continue to play by the rules of their game.
It's a victory in itself.
So this time, the choice that had to be made to break through history for "Sunset" is slightly more acceptable.
Chen Linfeng believed from beginning to end that "Sunset" winning the award this time had a sense of coercion, which would at least make many people feel this way.
He has also been trying to find ways to resolve this emotion.
After all, it's not 16 years yet, and he might still be able to reap some benefits in the next few years, but he doesn't want to cause trouble yet.
Zhang Yimou's speech was more conventional, without much to say.
The two went backstage.
Because the best film awards will be held soon, and "Sunset" is also among them.
So there was no time for another interview, and the two quickly returned to their seats.
Of course, the best movie will definitely not be "Sunset" anymore, there is nothing so beautiful.
After all, Oscar is conservative and is not allowed to do such outrageous things.
In the previous life, it took 18 years for a movie to achieve such an achievement.
The best movie goes to "The Hurt Locker" without a doubt.
But the makers of The Hurt Locker aren't in a particularly happy mood.
Best Picture originally represented the highest achievement of the Oscars.
Often the complete package must include Best Director, Best Editing, and Best Screenplay to truly deserve the title.
But this year "Sunset" was released.
This made them look extremely embarrassed.
A best foreign language film not only won technical awards on the Oscar stage, but also won best actress and best director.
So what is the difference between this foreign language film and the best film?
Mr. Producer, who stood on the stage and received the trophy from Tom Hanks, was rarely calm.
It makes people feel that he is just receiving a small prize.
The crew and creators who were on stage together were also a little silent.
This magical scene constitutes the audience’s final impression of this Oscar.
Over here at home, the studio has just transitioned to the announcement of the best director.
Zhu Jun was so excited that his voice broke.
