Chapter 58: No Accidents (part 3/5)
In fact, anyone who knows a little about the Oscars knows that the probability of "Gravity" winning the award is infinitely close to zero...
Several of the outpost's weather vanes have been awarded, and "Birdman" not only beats "Gravity", but also "Boyhood" by the way...
The American media directly ignored "Gravity" and were discussing "Birdman" and "Boyhood"...
Originally, "Boyhood" was in the lead, because the Oscar nominations were announced, and "Birdman" was not selected for Best Editing, which is an important indicator for predicting the Oscar for Best Picture - no Oscar for Best Picture has not been nominated for this award in the past 20 years.
Therefore, everyone concluded that "Boyhood" had a better chance of winning, and then, "Birdman" successively won the Actors Guild group drama, the Best Film of the Producers Guild, and the Best Director of the Directors Guild, reversing the situation in an instant!
Throughout the history of the Oscars, only in 1996 "Apollo 13" won these three unions and then lost, and in other years, if the three awards are the best.
However, Richard Linklater, the director of "Boyhood", is a British director, and a quarter of the Oscar jury is British...
Therefore, until the final announcement is made, no one knows who will win the cup in "Boyhood" and "Birdman"!
Above, from "Variety", "The Hollywood Reporter"...
You see, there was no mention of Gravity at all!
But domestic fans, including many filmmakers, still have expectations.
If nothing else, Mr. Lu is a miracle in itself!
"Border Storm" shocked the four people, and then it went all over the three major European awards, conquered the Golden Globe Awards, on international awards, mainland filmmakers, looking at it, except for A Mou, no one can beat him!
There has already been talk about his place in history...
At least it's on par with Li An...
The most important thing is that the mainland film market is surging with development, and everyone needs a benchmark figure who has both awards and box office!
Lao Lu, born in response to the times!
Ahem, it's a bit exaggerated, but it's almost...
Therefore, this Oscar, many people pay attention.
Including director Amou.
Of course, Ah Mou communicated with Lu Xiaoran and knew that Lu Xiaoran didn't have much hope this time...
Frankly speaking, Chinese and Western values are diametrically opposed, and sometimes I have to admire Li An...
Regardless of whether he is based in the United States or not, close to Taiwan Island, and alienated from the mainland, at least in the movie, he is really amazing!
Amou's "International Market" won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director, and no one discussed it, probably just played normally...
......
The crew of "Darling".
Huang Bo stared at Yan Bingyan: "What are you going to do, I don't think you've been here for a day or two!"
Yan Bingyan took a step forward: "I... I just wanted to come and see the kids..."
"No way!"
Huang Bo took half a step back: "I'll tell you, it's useless for you to be like this, you know in your heart that you are not a child's mother!"
"I know... I just miss him..."
"No, don't come here in the future! I'll tell you, at best I don't hate you, and that's the end of it. ”
Huang Bo raised his feet and was about to leave, but Yan Bingyan chased after him: "Big brother... Don't let your child eat peaches, he'll be allergic!"
Huang Bo's face was full of complexity: "You... Hurry up and let me go!"
The camera is focused on Huang Bo, he is carrying the sleeping Peng Peng, skillfully bypassing the alley, the expression on his face is complicated from the beginning, and slowly becomes resolute...
He couldn't have let his son have anything to do with his adoptive mother again, because she was the trafficker's wife, and Li Hongqin didn't deserve forgiveness — he knew Peng Peng had been abducted.
There is a passage: "Before my man died, I asked me not to come to Shenzhen for the rest of my life!"
Don't normal people know what this sentence means?
Not all mistakes can be forgiven, not all hurts can be healed, and there are always things that time can't do ...
The other camera was aimed at Yan Bingyan, she cried, and then walked back...
"Okay, two teachers, very beautiful!"
"Director Zhou, it's on!"
“... Okay, pause, let's go and see the awards first..."
A group of people hurried into the lounge, watching the live broadcast of the Oscars around their laptops...
"I know this host!"
"Barney Stimson in "Mom and Dad's Romance"!"
"I also know him, just like Joey in "Friends", the flower man!"
Incomplete statistics, Barney and Joy, two people infected more than 6,000 New York teenagers or young women...
American dramas are really open!
Lu Ziqiao is far behind!
"Where are they sitting?"
“... I don't know, the awards have begun!"
Where did Lu Xiaoran sit? The eight seats in the sixth row...
It can also be seen from the location arrangement that "Gravity" is not taken seriously at all!
That's right, Best Foreign Language Film is an award in itself that no one cares about.
......
The Oscars ceremony is very lengthy, American humor, without subtitles and notes, Lu Xiaoran and Tangtang's reaction is half a beat slow - some people laugh, they laugh along...
Fortunately, the best visual effects, the best sound effects, and the best cinematography were awarded to "Gravity".
Seeing Ding Yanlai and Emmanuel Lubezki thanking Lu Xiaoran on stage, Tangtang was very excited...
Lu Xiaoran's expression was very calm...
"Every time we watch the news, there are always boundaries that separate us, borders, cultures, beliefs, nationalities, but in the dark cinema, these no longer exist, our tears and laughter are no different, because movies don't care about borders, movies belong to all mankind, and here are the nominations for Best Foreign Language Film. ”
Nicole Kidman took the stage to present the best foreign language film...
There is a problem with the writing of this paragraph, since movies don't care about national borders, what better foreign language film do you want to say for Mao?
There is no doubt that this award was awarded to Lu Xiaoran...
Accompanied: "This is the second time that a Chinese film has won the best foreign language film, and the last time it won the award was "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"...", Lu Xiaoran came to the stage, shook hands with Nicole Kidman, picked up the Oscar statuette, and put on the mat, which was quite heavy: "Thank you to the academy and the Oscars, thank you Nicole for the good luck you brought me, last time in Cannes, she also gave me an award, thank you to everyone in my team and crew." ”
"Gravity is probably the hardest film I've ever made, but the magic of the film is that it can be translated into all kinds of novel expressions..."
"Thank you to my wife and family for supporting me..."
Very short acceptance speech, nothing special...
In fact, everyone's starlight tonight was overshadowed by Graham Moore, the young screenwriter who won the best adapted screenplay!
His acceptance speech went like this: When I was 16 years old, I tried to kill myself because I felt out of place in the world. And now I'm standing here, and I want to tell those kids, stay weird, stay different. When your turning point comes, it will be you standing on this stage, please pass this message on to them. Remember, you are born to be different!
A standing ovation...
So much so that no one paid special attention to Best Director and Best Picture...
