Chapter 337: Raising Eyebrows
Chen Dao is not the first Chinese actor to be nominated for an Oscar.
However, he is the first Chinese actor to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
Now, with this nomination, he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, becoming the first Chinese actor to win the Oscar for Actor.
This award is of great significance.
When Mu Chen and the others heard that he had won the award, they couldn't help but stand up and applaud, and many people even cheered.
Chen Dao was stunned at first, and then a little excited.
His English was not good, so he didn't hear it at all, not to mention that the award presenter pronounced his name backwards.
Chen Dao only vaguely guessed, but he couldn't believe it, for fear of making a joke.
But now, Mu Chen took the lead in standing up and applauding, and the crew of "Avatar" and "Truman's World" cheered, even the crew of "People and Ghosts" cheered.
In this way, he has naturally confirmed that he has won the award.
As Chen Dao, who has won countless actor awards, this Oscar for Best Supporting Actor definitely carries a lot of weight. Because this is the first Oscar won by a Chinese actor.
To be precise, it should be the first Oscar about actors.
The first actor to win an Oscar should be Mu Chen.
He's also an actor, although he's always labeled himself as a director, not an actor.
It's just that he didn't win actor-related awards.
"As an actor, I feel honored to receive this award. Chen Dao's excitement at this time had been controlled.
Perhaps, he has seen a lot of winds and waves, and his mentality is a little different from that of many award-winning actors.
Perhaps, as his experience grew, he had mastered his emotional control.
"Thank you to the jury for affirming me, and also thank Zhang Gang, the director of "Truman's World", and Mu Chen, the screenwriter. Thank you!"
Chen Dao said a few words, and then got off the podium.
And all he speaks is Chinese.
His English level is estimated to be a few simple sentences.
With this award, he has the opportunity to go international.
However, only if he learns English.
Mu Chen didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it. In today's films, English-language films dominate.
When Hollywood invites Chinese actors, it still values whether the other party can speak English.
If you don't understand the language, it will inevitably be difficult to cooperate.
After Best Supporting Actor, Best Actress and Best Actor, Mu Chen and others are just spectators.
And after these two awards, there are a few extremely heavy awards left.
"The finalists for the best foreign language film are: "Truman's World" Huaxia, "Avatar" Huaxia ......"
The other two films, one from France and one from Spain.
Mu Chen didn't know much about those two films, and it was difficult for him to guess who this award would belong to.
Being shortlisted shows the excellence of the film.
Who wins the award depends on which film the jury prefers.
"The winner of the Best Foreign Language Film Award is: "Truman's World" from Huaxia!
"Smack!"
With applause, Zhang Gang walked to the podium with a smile.
Regardless of whether he can win the Oscar for Best Director with this film. The film "Truman's World" is also a big harvest at this Oscars.
With this award for Best Foreign Language Film, it has now won three awards.
You must know that this film has only been shortlisted for four awards in total.
If you are winning the best director, you will be in the middle of all.
However, Mu Chen is not optimistic that Zhang Gang will win the Oscar for Best Director with this film.
Of course, he is not optimistic about himself.
"Truman's World" won the best foreign language film, Zhang Gang was still a little excited, but not incoherent.
His acceptance speech was not long, but there was no lack of emotion in his words.
Before this, he also had a lot of high-reputation films "Rushing to the Olympics", but he rarely got nominations.
Now, he has won the prize.
This has to thank Mu Chen, the screenwriter.
Mu Chen is the screenwriter, but many of the opinions put forward on this film are of great help to the film.
"The winner of the best director is: Well, it is a filmmaker from China again, I have to say that Chinese filmmakers are very dazzling at this Oscar......"
The award presenter was talking there, but he never said who won the best director.
Mu Chen's face was indifferent, with a smile on his face.
Zhang Gang looked a little nervous, obviously he wanted to win this award more than Mu Chen.
As for the other Chinese filmmakers, they have already cheered.
Whether Zhang Gang won the award or Mu Chen won the award, they are all worthy of cheering.
"There are two Chinese directors shortlisted for Best Director, who is it?"
Another award presenter said with a smile.
Congratulations to director Mu Chen for winning the Oscar for Best Director again. He's the most talented guy I've ever met. I have to say that I love "Avatar" directed by him so much. ”
"Smack!"
Mu Chen got up with a smile and walked towards the stage.
Zhang Gang also smiled and applauded. However, the smile was somewhat reluctant.
He was in a mixed mood at this time.
He didn't know if he should be happy or not.
As a Chinese filmmaker, Mu Chen won the award, and he should be happy for him.
It's a pity that he can't be happy, because Mu Chen won the award, which means that he didn't get the award.
He didn't feel any shame in losing to Mu Chen.
It's not about face.
"How you treat nature, nature will do to you! Protect the environment, don't fish with all your might!" Mu Chenju continued, "May the world be peaceful, and may all people be full of respect for life." Thank you for the jury's affirmation, thank you for the efforts of the crew of "Avatar", thank you!"
The most impressive thing about "Avatar" is probably its visual effects, especially the beautiful scenery in the film.
Many media also ridiculed this film as a "beautiful scenery sightseeing film".
However, Mu Chen's few words said what was to be expressed in the film.
These are precisely the ones that many people overlook.
won the Oscar for Best Director again, Mu Chen was not very excited, but there were some small surprises.
He remembered that the original director didn't seem to win the Oscar for Best Director with this film.
It seems to be the Best Director Award at the Global Awards.
Mu Chen never thought that he could win the best director again with this film.
Unexpected, naturally pleasantly surprised.
Of course, Mu Chen will not think that he is better than the original director.
What's more, he still used other people's original versions as a reference to shoot them.
Many of the awards for this film seem to be a little different from the original.
For example, the original version won the Oscars for Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography. And for these two awards, he didn't even get a nomination.
This may be the reason why the opponents are different and the judges are different.
Perhaps, it also has something to do with the fact that the director is different.
I don't know if it was because Mu Chen won the best director, and the best film ended up missing him.
"Avatar" and "Ghost Love" failed to win this award.
However, even so, at this Oscar, Chinese filmmakers are also extremely dazzling.
"Avatar" won Best Director and Best Visual Effects.
"Ghost Love" won Best Supporting Actress.
"Truman's World" won three awards: Best Foreign Language Film, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Screenplay.
After the award ceremony, Mu Chen and others naturally did not miss the celebration party.
Isn't it worth celebrating such a dazzling performance of Chinese filmmakers?
Mu Chen and others attended the celebration party after the awards ceremony, but domestic fans were already cheering.
Many media have also reported that this year's Oscars, Chinese filmmakers are proud.
The topic of this Oscar is high in China.
However, the same is true in places like North America.
Needless to say, the two films "Avatar" and "Ghost Love" have already been released.
After the Oscars, fans will run video websites to rewatch it.
However, watching online and watching in theaters is obviously different.
"People and Ghosts" may be better, but the gap between "Avatar" is too big.
Many fans are lamenting that IMAX-3D may be able to make many fans develop the habit of going to the theater to watch movies.
And at this Oscars, the most attractive Chinese-language movie is obviously not "Avatar", but "Truman's World"!
This film has won three awards, and it has not yet been released, maintaining its mystery.
Now, less than a month has passed since the release of the film, and the publicity has gradually begun.
Needless to say, there is no doubt about the publicity and distribution ability of Dawn Film and Television.
And although this film was not released at the same time around the world, the time interval was not long.
This Chinese-language film, which won many international awards, naturally aroused the curiosity of many fans.
What's more, this film is still written by Mu Chen.
The films written by Mu Chen now not only have a very high box office appeal in China, but also abroad.
Of course, foreign countries are not as exaggerated as they are at home.
And Mu Chen bluntly said at the Oscars that he was full of expectations for the box office of this film.
This film should not be a film that is not popular.
The film written by Mu Chen does not seem to have such a situation.
The original "Truman's World" seems to have exceeded 100 million at the box office in the United States and 200 million at the global box office.
This was definitely a very high box office at the time.
Nowadays, factors such as prices, inflation, and the potential of the film market naturally make Mu Chen optimistic about the box office of this film.
Perhaps, the domestic box office can surpass the original box office.
Oscar's popularity diluted Mu Ze's shooting.
However, Mu Chen and others did not return to China with Zhang Gang and others.
He chose before them.
It seems that Zhang Gang and others are intended to cover up.
It's just that the idea is good, but it is still blocked at the airport by many domestic media reporters.
It's not who leaked the news of their return to China, it's the reporters who are squatting at the airport and waiting for the rabbit.
"I'm sorry, but my brother needs to recuperate, and when his injuries are better, we will hold a press conference to answer your questions. Sorry!"
Mu Chen and others did not accept interviews with the media, but left the airport under the escort of security personnel.
This is also due to Mu Chen's early preparation, so that the company has arranged a lot of manpower.
It is also due to the fact that there are not many media reporters squatting at the airport.
However, the news of Mu Chen and others returning to China still caused a great sensation.
The heat of Mu Ze's shot instantly returned, and he launched a charge like Oscar's heat.
