Chapter 426 The Light of Chinese Cinema

In the office of the chairman of China Film Group, Han Sanping sat in his own chair.

As the most powerful person in the film industry, he stared nervously at the computer in front of him at this time.

Sitting with his body straight and his hands clenched into fists on his lap, Han Sanping was so nervous for the first time in several years.

At this time, the live broadcast of the Oscars on the computer has been carried out for a third of the time, and the awards have been awarded one by one, and it has reached the most critical best foreign language film.

For so many years, there has never been a time when Han Sanping has been so nervous as he is today.

Even the gift film "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" directed in 09, although it is very important, he is not too nervous.

controls more than 50% of the theater chains, and countless institutions and enterprises charter the venues, which is a hard pile, and the box office is piled up.

But this time, Li Qian competed for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and he couldn't help at all, and he didn't have any bottom in his heart.

As the movies were introduced, when Natasha Portman opened the envelope and read out the five words of the award-winning movie "Truman's World", Han Sanping finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back.

He's 60 years old this year, and it's time to retire this time next year.

The mainland film industry has entered the era of one billion yuan from the era of 100 million yuan, and the film industry has increased 21 times from the box office of 900 million in 02 to 19 billion today.

Now, Li Qian has won the first Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in mainland films.

Han Sanping can retire satisfactorily without any regrets, and this answer sheet is enough to ensure his status in the second half of his life.

......

At this moment, all filmmakers are full of thoughts when they see "Truman's World" winning the best foreign language film.

In the past ten years, what all the big directors in the mainland have pursued has been obtained by Li Qian, and they all feel empty in their hearts for a while.

However, no matter what others think, on the computer screen in front of countless people at this time, the live broadcast of the Oscars has been swiped by various barrages.

"Li Qian is awesome!"

"The little golden man got it!"

"Bubbling, take a picture!"

"The group photo was in vain for me to watch the live broadcast for an hour. ”

"Screenshot commemoration, not to mention that when Li Qian lifted the little golden man, he suddenly felt a little handsome. ”

"This little golden man, is it pure gold?"

"It's comfortable, just got off work, eat an extra bowl of rice. ”

......

In the Dolby Theater, Li Qian held the little golden figure with a smile on his face, and let the camera shoot for two seconds before holding it flat on his chest and giving an acceptance speech to the audience.

"Thank you, thank you, and thank you to my crew colleagues who have worked with me for a hundred days and nights, and together we have created the story of 'Truman's World...... Thanks also to the Academy of Film Sciences and Arts for the recognition of this film......"

After speaking in English, he said, "Please allow me to express my sincere gratitude in my own words to the people who care about and support me on the other side of the ocean." ”

Li Qian then changed to Chinese, and said loudly in front of the many cameras and the eyes of countless pairs of compatriots behind the cameras.

"It should be early at twelve o'clock at noon in China now, everyone should have dinner time, thank you for your concern, this little golden man has your share, I wish everyone a smile and an appetite. ”

The audience who watched the live broadcast thought that Li Qian was going to make a sensational tirade, but when they heard his cheesy words, they almost didn't laugh.

"I'll go, Li Qian is so funny, I thought I would like to thank CCTV, thank Optoelectronics, and thank my hometown fathers. ”

"Just rush to this little golden man, I'm going to eat three more bowls today!"

"Wait for the pork knuckle rice, add two more boiled eggs!"

"It's too real, fortunately, Mi Lijian doesn't understand, otherwise I guess I would have made fun of Li Qian, haha...."

"Eat and eat, watch the live broadcast while eating, and everyone should have a good lunch. ”

"There are big duck legs in the cafeteria today, and I asked for three. ”

"You like duck legs so much, and you eat two ducks in one meal!"

"I guess it's the cafeteria aunt who can't shake the duck legs, hehe. ”

"Who said that, you haven't seen it, once I beat the chicken legs, my aunt habitually shook it twice, shook off the chicken legs, and scooped me up some soup, and I was stupid at the time. ”

"Ouch, I laughed so much, I suddenly wanted to eat chicken legs, and the abalone and lobster in front of me suddenly didn't smell good. ”

"I just asked the restaurant owner, and they don't have chicken legs, so I smashed his shop!"

......

On Li Qian's side, after delivering his acceptance speech, he once again stepped down in front of applause and camera lenses and returned to his position.

"This is the little golden man, pure or impure. Zhang Wei asked stupidly.

"Nonsense, this thing is heavy to death, there are eight catties, and pure gold costs more than one million yuan. ”

Zhang Wei smiled, "If it is pure gold, it will be much more expensive than the previous gift package." ”

"This is the little golden man, like a man with a sword. Tong Liya looked at the trophy made of this naked man + long sword, and was a little curious.

"At first, it was made of bronze, and during World War II, it couldn't even afford copper, so the little gold man was made of plaster, and then the base was still wood. Li Qian smiled and looked at the five rings on the base.

The five rings refer to the film roll, and each film represents the five most primitive elements of the film: the actor, the director, the producer, the post-production technician, and the screenwriter.

There are many particularly funny stories about the little golden man.

The first Best Actor trophy, which was supposed to be awarded to a dog, had more votes than all actors.

However, one of the judges questioned that the actor trophy is to reward the performance of human actors, and dogs are not human.

So the dog was out of the game and awarded to another actor.

I don't know if there was an animal association or anything like that at that time, otherwise I would have sued the academy for discriminating against dogs.

Speaking of which, the movie starring the dog caused a sensation in the United States after its release, pulling Warner, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, back from the brink of bankruptcy.

......

The awards continued, and the best supporting actor and actress in the back, as well as the actor and actress, were the same as the Golden Globe Awards.

Daniel Day-Lewis, who starred in "Lincoln", and Jenverny Lawrence, who starred in "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds", both won the Best Actor.

Li Ji beat Spielberg for "Life of Pi" and won the Best Director Award, becoming a rare director to win two Best Director.

The best picture ultimately went to "Escape from Tehran," and the award for the political film was announced by the first lady on the big screen.

......

After the awards, before attending the next dinner, Li Qian also went to sign a contract with the college.

Each winner has to sign such a contract.

If you don't want to keep the trophy, you have to sell it back to the Academy for $1 to ensure that the gold figure doesn't go into the hands of a private collector.

If they refuse to sign the agreement, then the little golden figure will have to be kept by the academy.

The family is big enough, and there is no shortage of a place to put the little golden figure, of course, Li Qian signed an agreement and kept it by himself.

Walking out of the theater, countless reporters were already waiting, and seeing Li Qian come out, several Chinese reporters who were more conspicuous in the crowd immediately squeezed over desperately and handed the microphone to Li Qian's mouth.

"Hello Director Li, I am a reporter from CCTV, congratulations on winning the first Oscar on behalf of mainland films. ”

"Thank you. ”

"As the first person in the mainland film industry to successfully win the little golden man, does Director Li have anything to say to the domestic audience?"

"First of all, thank you all for your continued support...... I also thank the General Administration of Optoelectronics for being able to give the opportunity to be selected for the Oscar to "Truman's World" ......"

CCTV, Xinhua News Agency, penguins, official or unofficial, the reporters in front of Li Qian are no less than other big names.

Li Press also came out, and the CCTV reporter proposed a photo of the two.

The two also agreed, standing next to each other, each holding their best director] Best Foreign Language Film Little Golden Man.

With a "click", reporters recorded this historic moment, an Oscar, and two Chinese directors won awards.

Journalists were excited.

Li Press won the second Oscar for Best Director and was also very excited, after all, the global box office of "Life of Pi" is close to 600 million US dollars, and sometimes a high box office is not necessarily a good thing, and I was a little worried before.

Li Qian is also very happy, just now the reporter told him that the ratings of the movie channel and the number of people watching the live broadcast of Penguin Video are much higher than expected, which also means that there are more people paying attention to this year's Oscars than he imagined.

won the award, at least no one was disappointed.

Everyone was happy, the only unhappy thing was Fan Binbin on the other side, and finally got the opportunity to attend the Oscars, but at this time, reporters surrounded Li Ji and Li Qian.

Even the reporters who had been looking for it before also surrounded them, and they didn't do anything after receiving money, which was too disrespectful.

However, no one cares about an unrelated actor.

Not only domestic reporters, but also Mi Lijian's reporters interviewed Li Press, who won the best director, and there are more and more people.

Li Qian broke away from the encirclement of reporters in advance, in fact, he is not very famous in Mi Lijian, and he is more famous for "Truman's World", even Deng Chao, the actor, may not be recognized when he walks on the street.

However, when he left, he happened to bump into Sony's Humpty Dumpty Ichiro Takagi, and when he saw the best foreign language film in Li Qian's hand, the other party snorted coldly and walked away.

"Who is this person, so dragged?" Tong Liya and the others were a little curious.

"A little devil. Li Qian smiled, and didn't step forward to taunt him.

took everyone to the banquet, and received a call from Guo Fan Daoxi halfway, who is now filming "The Hobbit" with Peter Jackson in New Zealand.

The trilogy has been filmed for a long time, and one was released last year, which is also a film invested by Warner, Guo Fan works as an artist in the crew, and it is also his old job, mainly to be familiar with the industrial production process of blockbusters, and Warner will arrange to go to other big-production crews in the future.

After attending the dinner, Li Qian returned to the hotel and was about to return to China after resting.

At this time, the domestic news about Li Qian winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film has been frantically reported by various official and unofficial media.

""Truman's World" represented mainland films in the Oscars and successfully won the Best Foreign Language Film, and Li Qian became the first Oscar winner!"

"Following the first Golden Globe Award for mainland films, Li Qian once again won the first Oscar trophy in mainland film history, breaking the breakthrough of Oscar 0 in mainland film history!"

"The famous director Li Qian returned with honor, and "Truman's World" won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, setting a record in mainland film history!"

"The light of Chinese films, after ten years, Li Qian once again makes Chinese films go international!"

"The mainland box office is 1.8 billion, the North American box office is 130 million US dollars, setting a new North American box office record for Chinese films, the Golden Globe Award and the Oscar have won the best foreign language film twice, "Truman's World" has set a series of records, and Li Qian deserves to be the first person in Chinese films!"

......

Under the overwhelming praise, the light of Chinese films, the first person in Chinese films, and two titles, were pressed on Li Qian.

Moreover, not only media such as Xinlang and Penguin, but also print media such as Xinhua News Agency and Central Daily, as well as CCTV's movie channel, also reported in this way.

However, the media did not think it was an exaggeration, and the vast majority of netizens did not have any objections.

Even those with different opinions were quickly drowned in the saliva of netizens.

"The number one director of Chinese films, Li Qian deserves it!"

"Zhang Yimou and they are all going downhill, Li Qian now says that the first director is no problem at all!"

"I think Li Ji can compete with Li Qian, "Youth Pi" has a global box office of almost 600 million, and won the Oscar for Best Director, which is much heavier than the best foreign language film. ”

""Youth Pi" is a Hollywood movie, and it has nothing to do with a dime in China, Li Qian can get so many honors and box office for making a purely domestic film, and no director can do it. ”

"The North American box office of "Life of Pi" is 20 million US dollars lower than that of "Truman's World", and it is not comparable in China, and the impact caused by Mi Lijian is not as good as "Truman's World", go out over the wall to see how sensational it is, how many demonstrations have been made, and psychologists over there have also invented "Truman syndrome"!

"All of Li Qian's achievements have been obtained with domestic films, and Li Qian's achievements are higher than Li Qian's in the world, but in the category of Chinese films, Li Qian is the first, and there is no comparison at all!"

"The box office, influence, awards, and real results are here, and I suddenly found that the gap between Li Qian and other domestic directors is too big, even if it is a national teacher, it can't be compared. ”

"The national teachers are mainly at their peak in the nineties, and they are all literary films, and the movies in recent years have become more and more inadequate. ”

"If you win the award, you will win the award, and this matter is over, Li Qian hurriedly began to prepare for the new film, and he has been waiting for two months. ”

......

With Li Qian winning the Oscar, officials, media and netizens have no doubts about Li Qian, the number one director of Chinese films.

In the industry, many big directors, although they have reached the point where Li Qian has reached the point where he is today, they are very bored, but they have to admit that in addition to his age, Li Qian is almost perfect

I'm only 29 years old, and I can't stand yet.

Zhang Yimou, 29, is a sophomore in college.

Cheng Kaige, 29, is in his senior year.

29-year-old Ma Xiaogang is still working as an artist at the Beijing TV Drama Art Center.

In the past, the three major directors in the mainland had not officially become directors at the age of 29.

The 29-year-old Li Qian's achievements are enough to convince anyone.

Of course, except for Ma Xiaogang, who dropped a 20,000 yuan precious ceramic teacup.

After praying for an hour, Li Qian still won the prize.

Moreover, when discussing the number one director of Chinese films, the media and netizens kept comparing Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kaige, and Li Press, but they didn't see anyone say his Ma Xiaogang's name.

Even the names of Wu Yusen and Wang Jiawei are occasionally mentioned!

Ma Xiaogang was angry, and he sulked vigorously.
