Chapter 396 Parallel with the predecessors’ classics
"The Best Director award at this year's Oscars has been finalized. Directors Zhang and Chen were recognized. This is the second time that a domestic director has won this award on the Oscar stage.
And it is worth mentioning that "Sunset" is a foreign language film and won 5 awards including Best Foreign Language Film, Best Director and Best Actress at the same time, surpassing the 10 awards won by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that year. Picked 4. ”
Tu Jingwei was even more excited. As a host in the film industry, she can understand the difficulties.
She added, "It is worth mentioning that this time "Sunset" tells a Chinese story and reflects the emotions of the Chinese people, which is even more rare."
As a special guest, Wang Rui said something for his disciples.
"At the same time, Xiao Chen is also the youngest Best Director in the history of the Oscars, and has pushed this record forward ten years, which is almost impossible to be surpassed."
Zhu Jun agreed, "Yes, the gold content of this Best Director is really too high..."
"..."
Lu Chuan, who was interested in watching the live TV broadcast, was so jealous that he almost went crazy when he saw this scene.
At the same time, his heart was completely cold. Because of the incident in "Nanjing", he had thought about thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Don't bully the young... well, he is middle-aged and poor.
However, Xiao Chen has now won the Oscar for Best Director, and there is even less hope of a comeback in the future.
Lu Yang and Guo Fan, who were trained by Director Chen, were simply happy.
Fuck, the teacher suddenly turned into an Oscar director, and my student’s market price also increased.
The teacher is so awesome.
Everyone here in Beijing is numb.
Zhang Guoli exclaimed, "I won the Best Director award, which is amazing. The film "Sunset" is really a masterpiece."
Jiang Wen nodded and said, "Yes, with the Palme d'Or in Cannes and Oscars, it ranks among the top three in domestic history."
"This is a bit modest. I only look at the awards, and I am the number one in history."
"This is not necessarily true. The level of "Farewell My Concubine" is not necessarily lower than others. Art is not purely about awards." Jiang Wen still had something to say.
When it comes to "Farewell My Concubine", everyone looks at the person involved, Chen Kaige.
Da Chen's face turned dark, "Look at what I'm doing, I can't comment on this thing."
Also, Director Kai Ge is probably not easy to talk to.
Everyone nodded in understanding and tried not to look at him again.
What's going on is even more annoying.
Chen Kaige himself didn't have much idea and was annoyed by their deliberate avoidance.
In fact, he was indeed a little unhappy, mainly due to his resentment towards Xiao Chen.
We all know that we have the same surname, so why did you go to Zhang Yimou alone and not me? It would be great if you go to me. Then it would be time for Chen and Chen to receive the award together. It would be a good talk.
As Chen Kaige thought about it, his heart became more and more sour.
Naying couldn't help but said, "No, this is how the Oscars are awarded? Without any consideration of rules? How can we award the best picture in the future? Should we give it to "Sunset"?"
Ye Daying couldn't help but nodded, "Yes, if I give it again, it would be too exaggerated. If I don't give it, the scene would be too embarrassing."
Speaking of which, best movies are being awarded on television.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the best movie was awarded to "The Hurt Locker". Fortunately, the Oscar organizing committee was quite sensible and knew not to be too dominant.
Although this spectrum is not much.
Wang Shuo said bluntly, "The Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actress, and Best Director were all given to "Sunset", so who is the best movie? I have never seen such a shabby best movie."
……
Katherine Bigelow was also thinking about this problem at the scene. She wanted to throw the award to Chen, but she might as well not take it.
Like "Avatar", it would be nice to lose decently.
After becoming like this, he might be pulled out and whipped to death many years later.
When it comes to the best movies in history, "The Hurt Locker" may be the first thing people think of.
It's such a big hit, why did it become like this?
When Catherine thought of this, her heart was filled with resentment towards Chartier.
James Cameron glanced at his ex-wife strangely, originally thinking that his ex-wife was going to steal the show this time.
He was mentally prepared to be used as a raft by the media. Unexpectedly, his ex-wife went from being in the spotlight to being in trouble.
It's so miserable. Fortunately, the best movie was not given to me.
Now that the show is about to end, some celebrities will go to the nearby Vanity Fair to attend the following cocktail party.
This can be considered a post-Oscar tradition.
As the biggest winner, Chen Linfeng naturally wanted to accept the congratulations from everyone.
Then he saw Kathryn Bigelow, who was very conspicuous because of her height, walking in the other direction.
It is completely different from the direction of the large army.
He paid him the highest respect.
I was originally satisfied with winning the Best Foreign Language Film, but I never expected that the other party would insist on pushing me.
What a good man.
He was not in a hurry to go to Vanity Fair. As an Oscar winner, he had to go and engrave his name on the statuette first.
It's also a wonderful process.
Since it was no longer a formal occasion, Chen Linfeng took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the trophy being engraved, and posted it on Weibo.
"The harvest tonight is good. Oh, it should be noon in China. The little golden man is carving words. I took a photo for everyone to enjoy."
Then turn off the phone and forget about it.
Vanity Fair Party.
Chen Linfeng has been here more than once, and it has long run out of freshness.
Liu Qianqian looked very curious, but she just looked around and lost interest.
It was not much different from most celebrity parties, except that there were more celebrities and more reporters.
As the most eye-catching stars tonight, both the two directors and the many creators of the crew received courtesy and congratulations from the stars.
During this process, Leonardo talked to him about "Inception" again.
He had read the novel and admired the story.
It’s just that the schedule for the second half of the year has been announced, and it won’t be until next year if we want to start filming.
Chen Linfeng said there was no problem.
He didn't plan to start it too early, but it was just right.
In addition to this serious matter, countless people came to him hoping to cooperate.
Whether it’s a producer, director, or actor, everyone wants something.
Because Chen Linfeng has too many identities, in the eyes of others, he represents unlimited possibilities.
At three or four o'clock in the morning, Chen Linfeng really couldn't hold on any longer, and his excitement was over.
Liu Qianqian is the same. If she is not filming night scenes, she rarely sleeps so late.
So the two returned to their residence and fell asleep in darkness.
While they were sleeping.
The results of Oscar night are broadcast around the world.
In fact, when the Oscars first came out, relevant news began to spread crazily on the Internet. The media followed suit.
""Sunset" writes about an extraordinary night." - "The New York Times"
"Chen & Zhang defeated the former husband and wife group." - "Los Angeles Times"
""Sunset," an art film about old age love, won 5 awards including Best Director, Actress, and Foreign Language Film, making this 'foreign film' the biggest winner at the Kodak Theater that night." — —The Times
"I think the person who regrets it most now is Nicolas Chartier himself. His unfair canvassing behavior ruined everything that should have belonged to "The Hurt Locker." - "Le Monde"
"The youngest best director in history!" - "Washington Post"
"Lu Zhong wrote the miracle of Hollywood and became the first Chinese Oscar winner." - "Beautiful Country Today"
"..."
Media from all over the world have reported relevant news.
After the Oscars, "Sunset" became the biggest publicity hot spot.
Online social platforms are a little different.
Although the award for "Sunset" was widely spread, people were still concerned about more interesting topics.
Among them, "Avatar" only won scrap awards, "The Hurt Locker" won scraps and best picture, and "Sunset" won two heavyweight awards for best foreign language film.
This strong contrast with previous predictions has become the hottest topic at present.
Before the Oscars, these three movies were constantly hot topics and full of grievances.
At that time, many European and American netizens were eating melon.
And the result on Oscar night today was so unexpected.
It really makes netizens feel more excited.
Not to mention "Avatar", science fiction movies are always bad luck.
"The Hurt Locker" was really miserable because of an email scandal, and it became a backdrop.
"I really want to know how Chartier is feeling now."
"Please Mr. Chartier please come forward and speak @chartier."
"You are so shameful. You can also call @KathrynBigelow to ask. I had hoped to become the first female director to win the Oscar for Best Director.
Now everything has been ruined by my colleagues. If it were me, I would want to kill someone. ”
"Cameron should be happy now. The Oscars are biased against science fiction movies. If the best movie is awarded to him, I wonder if he can still shout "King of the World"."
"LOL, the ones upstairs are too bad. I'm more concerned about whether "Sunset" is good or not. I'm a little curious about this movie."
"I watched it before the Oscars. I think it's pretty good. It's a very good art film. From this aspect, it deserves to win."
"I want to read it too."
"..."
In Europe and the United States, most of the discussions on the Internet are by night owls who go online to discuss after watching the Oscars.
The total number of people was not very large, but the topic completely exploded, and it would be the next day.
Due to the time difference, it was around noon in China when the Oscar results came out.
This result is explosive news for the country.
The news that "Sunset" won five Oscars instantly spread across the Internet and ignited the audience's enthusiasm for discussion.
The comments Chen Linfeng posted on Weibo quickly exceeded 10,000 comments.
Relevant screenshots have also spread throughout the Internet.
At this time, Weibo has become a good means of gathering popularity.
At least when netizens want to discuss, there is a place for fans with common interests to interact.
“Touch the Fengshen’s trophy in the front row.”
"Congratulations to Xiao Chen for winning the Oscar."
“It turns out that the little golden figures were distributed first and then engraved. This is the first time I know about them.”
"I originally thought that one day Xiao Chen would win three gold medals and then an Oscar, and his career as a director would be complete. But I didn't expect that he would win the Oscar for Best Director first."
"Compared with Director Li An, he is really not that bad. The 22-year-old super director is so scary."
"..."
Other forums, post bars and other platforms have also launched endless praise mode.
At this time, it was Tianya again, and a long post appeared to evaluate the value of the award for "Sunset", which attracted everyone's attention.
The article first lays out the data, listing the films that have won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in the past, the number of Oscars they have won, and other heavyweight awards.
Let’s take a closer look at the films that have won the top prizes at the three major European film festivals, and the films that won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Then draw conclusions.
"Obviously, first, the three major European film festivals and the Oscars themselves are mutually exclusive.
In the past, Emily Ken's films have produced more than 30 films, which have won the three highest awards in Europe. However, among these films, only three have won the best film at the Oscars.
On the other hand, it is very difficult to get the top three foreign films in Europe and then win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. From 1950 to the present, there are only 8 films.
The last time to get both was "Pell the Conqueror" in 1987.
In other words, "Sunset" crossed this threshold first.
In addition, the three major factors in Europe are excluded.
Judging from the works that have won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, there are very few that have won other statuettes.
Among the more prominent ones, such as "Life is Beautiful" in 1999, which also won the Best Actor and Best Score.
and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li An, which won three technical awards in addition to foreign language films.
There are very few similar films, and most of them only won the Best Foreign Language Film award.
Of course, there is a question of whether it meets the selection criteria for other awards.
But no matter what, the tendency of the Oscar judges is obvious. Once it wins the best foreign language film, it will generally not give it other awards.
However, in addition to the best foreign language film, "Sunset" also won the best director and best actress, as well as two technical awards.
In the past, this was almost impossible to do.
This is a historic breakthrough!
Even if there are factors in this that the Oscars are gradually opening up, "Sunset" can undoubtedly be called the most valuable work in terms of awards in history.
For the three highest award-winning works in Europe, it has one more Oscar.
For the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, it has the Palme d'Or and Oscars for Director and Actress among other categories.
Win no matter what.
Even if there is a work in the future that goes a step further and even wins the Oscar for Best Picture, this will be based on the breakthrough made by "Sunset".
Just like now, when I rank classic works, those extremely excellent classic movies are bright enough even if they don't win awards other than foreign language films.
At that time, the brilliance of "Sunset" was no longer compromised.
Perhaps a few years later, it can be regarded as a representative of world art, alongside its predecessors, such as "Rashomon" and "Cinema Paradiso", which have become classic best foreign language films. ”
Kavin is so awesome, I’ll just use 4,000 words today, and I’ll make up for the missing 2,000 words tomorrow and the next two days
