Chapter 614: Oscar Night
The annual Oscar, in this era, is still an award that can make people gods.
Maybe for people in the industry, this award is operational, and even later, it is gradually related to some political views, which makes people despicable.
But at least at this stage, it is the World Cup and the Champions League in the film industry, and it is the most authoritative heavyweight award.
And at present, although it is not without Chinese people who have won the Oscar.
But the heavyweight award, only Li Press, and it has been for many years.
It's been too long, too long, and no one in the Chinese film circle has been able to make it to the Oscars.
And now, Xu Yuan actually got an invitation to the Oscars.
Although it is not nominated alone, Xu Yuan is the director!
He actually secretly made a cartoon?
......
Oscar, resplendent gold.
There were too many superstars that night.
But that night, even the brilliance of the Oscar winner, actress, best director and best picture was taken away by a small award.
This award is called the Best Animated Short Film Award!
Its impact goes far beyond the weight of this award.
Because the winners were Xu Yuan and Kobe.
Two legends.
Kobe Bryant needless to say, he is currently the Blue Wave Bay among the basketball superstars in the United States, although he has retired, his influence in this industry has just reached the top.
Not surprisingly, his brilliance will always shine in the NBA.
Even if there is an accident, it is still so.
In Earth time, after the disaster, many people silently made a wish, if he can't return, if the NBA logo can't be changed to his silhouette, then this NBA, if you don't look at it, you won't look at it.
Otherwise, if you look at it once, you will be sad once.
And Xu Yuan, who came in with a very high popularity, and the perfect performance of the Super Bowl allowed him to funk the entire rice country alone.
Perhaps the Oscar is the highest praise for filmmakers.
But when Xu Yuan and Kobe Bryant took the stage together and delivered their acceptance speeches, it was they who made the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film an extraordinary award.
"I'll come first, otherwise I'm afraid that everyone will give Xu all the applause, and there will be no point for me. Kobe Bryant was the first to deliver his acceptance speech, "Everyone knows me, knows me, and likes me, all because of basketball." ”
"For me, basketball is my life. But now, I've done the best I can with this life. During my tenure, I went from the thirteenth pick to the number one in the league. Maybe I won't be as honored as Jordan, but I'll surpass him, I'm convinced. ”
Offstage, Jordan smiled knowingly.
This kind of tribute, he doesn't mind.
"When I retired, I did a lot of things related to basketball. Even investment, I invested in a sports drink company, and our sports drink is also the main basketball market. I believe that it will be successful in the near future. ”
"And this "Dear Basketball" is my attempt in film and television. I really want to thank Xu, without his opinion, I didn't even think of using this work to record my life. ”
"Now, I'm going to be separated from basketball for a while, because I've done everything I can for it. For the rest of the time, I'm going to do something for my family. ”
"Goodbye, basketball. Goodbye, Kobe Bryant from the past. ”
Bang Bang Bang!
The audience applauded continuously.
Everyone was touched by this statement.
Kobe, he was born for basketball.
Next, Xu Yuan stood in front of the microphone with a relatively serious expression.
"Don't say goodbye, Kobe, goodbye never again, never say goodbye. You should always play that damn basketball until you're fifty, sixty, ninety, and one hundred!" Xu Yuan's words had a deep meaning, making many people look thoughtful.
This sentence is actually a bit philosophical, and it is quite elevated.
The scene immediately burst into applause.
Waiting for the applause to fall, Xu Yuan continued: "This award is very unexpected for me, because it is Kobe Bryant who has really put all the effort into it, this is his work, it is his honor, not mine." ”
"Of course, I'm not much of a fool, so, Oscar, I'll be back, trust me!"
Oh!
The audience cheered.
Xu Yuan's words are not simple.
This is clearly his promise to enter the Oscars!
As the world's most heavyweight award, the Oscar seems to be unattainable in the eyes of some people, but in fact, it is quite welcome to many stars.
Because every superstar enters Hollywood and competes for the Oscar, they are pushing the Oscar to the fans and market behind the star.
At Omi, the Oscars are very influential.
But in China, the audience of the Oscars and Hollywood is actually not large, and they do not have the kind of appeal that everyone imagines.
In the past two years, Hollywood's blockbusters have suffered repeated setbacks in China, although the box office seems to be higher than before, but considering the overall expansion of the Chinese market, Hollywood's box office share in China is actually declining.
Among them, the Chinese man in front of him has made great contributions and has beaten all Hollywood blockbusters in the Chinese market.
It doesn't matter if you have the halo of Oscar or not, you will be slaughtered and unreasonable!
Now, is this miracle of the Chinese film and television industry going to conquer Hollywood and the Oscars?
If so, it's just too good for Hollywood.
While every superstar launches a war of conquest against Hollywood, the territory behind him will also be eroded by Hollywood.
To this day, Hollywood has not been conquered, but the territory behind those superstars has long since changed.
Even Brother Fang himself is actually in this situation.
However, because of the background of the times, Brother Fang's trip to Hollywood is not a failure, on the contrary, it is a success.
And the market behind him is only the Xiangjiang market, but the entire Chinese market still maintains the independence of film aesthetics.
This wave is not a loss.
It can be far different.
If he can't achieve great success, it will be a heavy blow to the entire Chinese film industry, because the pay and gain are completely unequal.
It's a culture war.
Hollywood used the Oscars to issue a challenge.
And Xu Yuan bravely accepted it.
......
Oscar night, in addition to this part of the evening party that was made public.
There is also a big banquet in the evening.
At the banquet, many investors and film and television companies found Xu Yuan and wanted to invite him to star in the movie.
However, there are two points, which are very unified.
The first one, most of them are supporting roles, and some even have appearances that only last a few minutes in total. There is also one of the most exaggerated, asking Xu Yuan to play a reporter for a few seconds.
Perhaps this is a great opportunity for ordinary actors.
But for Xu Yuan, it was humiliating.
Hollywood, the comers are not good, and they are not friendly.
The second feature is that most of these film and television companies are small and medium-sized enterprises, and several Hollywood giants are not moving.
Arrogant.
Arrogance as always.
Hollywood is like a king, overlooking Xu Yuan.
This made Xu Yuan smile knowingly.
The kind where the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned.
