Although Yu Jing seemed to be complaining in her tone, Peng Yichen knew that she was just comforting and caring for herself.

I'm afraid that my expectations are too high, and I am too disappointed that I didn't make it shortlisted in the end.

Therefore, he took Yu Jing's hand and said with a smile: "If I am boasting about Haikou, let's wait and see." ”

As soon as his words fell, he heard a sentence from the stage:

The nominees for Best Score at this year's Academy Awards are:

"Flying House Travel" - Mike Giacchino;

"The Amazing Fox Dad" – Alexander Despura;

"Bomb Disposal Unit" – Marco Bertremi and Buck Saunders;

"Sherlock Holmes" - Hans Zimmer ......"

Sidney Gannis paused, and tried to pronounce two Chinese names awkwardly in his old voice:

Also, "Beautiful Life" from Huaxia - Chen Jiqi and Peng Yichen. ”

At this moment, all the Hollywood filmmakers in the theater were stunned.

Even Chen Jiqi, who is the film's soundtrack, was stupid in place, holding the red wine glass that had just been put to his lips, not knowing how to react.

The Hollywood star dreams at the scene widened their eyes in unison, and they all looked back at Peng Yichen, who was still calm, and Chen Jiqi, who was extremely surprised.

After a while, Chen Jiqi hurriedly put down the wine glass, pointed at himself with his finger, and seemed to ask everyone in his eyes.

"In the best soundtrack that was shortlisted just now, does this have my name appear?"

Peng Yichen saw the question in his heart, and answered him with a smile: "Yes, there is not only your name, but also my name." ”

Chen Jiqi looked at the crew creators around him in a panic, and asked: "Are you sure that we are not at the scene of the Yanhuang Film Festival now, but at the scene of the Oscar nomination announcement party? This can't be a dream we collectively have, right?!"

Chen Jiqi's panicked and unbelievable reaction made everyone sober up.

"Yes, we were still at the Yanhuang Film Festival a year ago, and you just heard the chairman of the Oscar selection committee in a dream read out your and Director Peng's names. Xiao Wang Qing, who was sitting next to Chen Jiqi, covered his mouth, snickering, and teasing Chen Jiqi like a little adult.

"I'm really shortlisted for the Oscars......" Chen Jiqi finally forced himself to calm down, his eyes were a little red, and he was choked up and couldn't speak for a while.

The people next to him saw his embarrassed appearance, but their hearts were full of envy and longing, and no one laughed at him.

Chen Jiqi has worked in Chang'an Film Studio for so many years, and once thought that he would quit the beloved film industry with the decline of Chang'an Studio.

Unexpectedly, Peng Yichen was born, not only acquired Chang'an Film Studio, but also made such a classic movie. Let him one day be shortlisted for the coveted Academy Awards.

This transformation from hell to heaven made Chen Jiqi fall into a dream.

"But I can't win this award...... How can I share this award with Director Peng...... The tunes of the soundtrack are all composed by Director Peng alone. (Peng Yichen hummed, Chen Jiqi recorded and sorted)"

Chen Jiqi reacted immediately, at the Yanhuang Film Festival, he had already won an award with his face licked.

But in his cognition, he, the soundtrack, only made a simple arrangement and soundtrack, and the real composer was Peng Yichen.

"Teacher Chen, you are confused, this is an announcement of nominations, not awards. Peng Yichen smiled and comforted Chen Jiqi and said: "I am just a layman in music, and I am occasionally favored by God and humming some tunes. If you don't have the recording and arrangement, if you don't rearrange these tunes, they fit the rhythm and picture of the movie perfectly. ”

Peng Yichen said this from the heart, in his heart, he was just the inheritor of the classics of his previous life, and those soundtracks were not his original originals.

As for the movie itself, he also re-adapted and directed, and he also participated in the performance in it.

And the soundtrack has nothing to do with him at all. He just took the melody from his previous life. It is a professional soundtrack artist like Chen Jiqi who really produces a complete dubbing.

That's why he didn't want to steal the honor of the best soundtrack, and he had to give it to Chen Jiqi.

"Then I can go to the Oscars as a finalist to attend the award ceremony?" asked Chen Jiqi excitedly.

Peng Yichen nodded and smiled at Chen Jiqi: "If you win the award at that time, you will have to go to the stage to accept the award." Be sure to prepare your acceptance speech!"

Just when Chen Jiqi was extremely excited, the name of "Beautiful Life" came from the stage in the center of the theater.

The Best Cinematography award was finalist:

"Beautiful Life" - Zhao Liansheng

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince – Bruno Del Bonnell

"Bomb Disposal Unit" – Barry Eckleod

"Inglourious Basterds" - Robert Richardson

"White Ribbon" – Christian Berg

At this moment, even Robinov, the president of Hua Na, who has always been extremely calm, showed a shocked expression.

Zhao Liansheng stood up directly, he looked at Peng Yichen next to him, and wanted to get some kind of confirmation from the other party in order to believe his ears.

Peng Yichen smiled at him, nodded and said, "It's you, Brother Zhao." You've been nominated for an Oscar. ”

Zhao Liansheng was relieved when he heard Peng Yichen's confirmation, and kept nodding his head, muttering to himself, no one knew what he was talking about.

The scene was ecstatic again, and everyone gathered around Zhang Shuping: "Teacher Zhang, this time is so powerful! I have been shortlisted for the best art director, this is the first time since Tim Yip." ”

"Brother Zhao, you succeeded. When you go out in the future, you can tell people that you are an Oscar-nominated photographer. ”

The people around him congratulated Zhao Liansheng one after another.

For films, the camera award is a key award second only to several key awards, and being nominated for this award is much more important than the best soundtrack award.

Zhao Liansheng's eyes were already red with excitement, and he was most grateful to Peng Yichen now.

Because he knew that if it weren't for the fact that three years ago, this young director suddenly appeared in his life and gave him unparalleled trust and support.

He will never get the honor he has now, and even at that time he couldn't even imagine being nominated for the Yanhuang Film Festival, let alone being nominated for the Oscar for Best Cinematography......

After everyone congratulated Zhao Liansheng, they all looked at Peng Yichen...... Each of them hopes that Peng Yichen will be shortlisted for the last two awards.

That is, the most important awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Foreign Language Film.

After all, these two awards are the personal awards that belong to Peng Yichen, the creator of "Beautiful Life", and he won these two nominations, which are the most well-deserved in the hearts of all the crew creators.

Of course, "Beautiful Life", which has already been nominated for two nominations, already knows in the hearts of everyone at the scene that it will definitely be shortlisted for the best foreign language film.

What they are really looking forward to now is the Best Original Screenplay award, and Peng Yichen can also be nominated.

In front of countless TVs and computers, the Chinese audience and fans who watched the live broadcast almost jumped out of their hearts at this time.

"The finalists for Best Original Screenplay this year are:

"Bomb Disposal Unit" - Mark Bauer

"Inglourious Basterds" – Quentin Tarantino

"Serious Men" – The Coen Brothers

"The Flying House" – Thomas McCarthy, Bob Peterson, and Pete Docter;

This time, the person who announced the nomination was replaced by actor Alec Baldwin, who seemed to be having some difficulties, and paused at this point.

Everyone knows why the veteran actor paused, because he was also stumped by difficult Chinese pronunciation.

Fortunately, in the end, he still said the much-anticipated name fluently:

"Finally, there is ...... "Beautiful Life" - Peng, Yi, Chen!!"

At this moment, everyone in the crew of "Beautiful Life" rushed over with their fists and hugged Peng Yichen one by one.

Peng Yichen calmed them down, because the results of the last most important award had not yet been announced, and Peng Yichen didn't want to get carried away yet.

Alec Baldwin didn't make them wait long, and soon announced the important award for Best Foreign Language Film.

"The nominees for Best Foreign Language Film this year are:

The Enigmatic Eye, Israel, Hebrew – Ali Foreman,

Badr and Meinhoff, Germany, German – Uli Eide,

Between the Walls, France, French – Lojon Conte,

"Revenge" Austria, German – Götz Spearmann......

Also, "Beautiful Life" Huaxia, Mandarin - Peng Yichen. ”

This time Alec Baldwin easily said the Chinese pronunciation.

This time, the crew members of "Beautiful Life" could no longer calm down, no matter how Peng Yichen persuaded them, they all cheered wildly.

"Chenzi, we were selected, we were really selected!" This is Yu Jing, who has tears in her eyes.

"Director Peng!!! I knew you could do it. This is Zhao Liansheng, who is very excited.

"Director Peng, this is the honor you have led us to receive. This is the enthusiastic and cheerful Chen Jiqi

"I'm so happy, Brother Peng, you're so amazing!!" This is Wang Qing, a young actor who admires Peng Yichen very much.

The last to come up were Denzel and Robinov, who congratulated Peng Yichen on his honor.

Robinov didn't seem to be too surprised as if he had known about this result for a long time.

But Denzel was extremely surprised and admired by "Life is Beautiful", the feat of winning four Oscar nominations for a Chinese-language film.

This means that Peng Yichen and his films have been recognized by the top filmmakers in the Star Flag Country!

Regardless of whether the film wins the Best Foreign Language Film award in the end, the names Peng Yichen and "Life is Beautiful" will be deeply reflected in the minds of many Hollywood filmmakers.

Peng Yichen accepted everyone's congratulations one by one with a smile, looked at Yu Jing, whose eyes were red, hugged her tightly, and comforted her not to be too excited.

At the same time, Peng Yichen also looked at Sean Penn who was far away from the theater.

His face was filled with horror and disbelief.

Because of his dislike and resistance to Peng Yichen, as one of the judges of the Oscars, he has not gone to the free special session of "Beautiful Life" specially opened to the Oscar judges to watch this movie until now.

During the primary, he directly voted negative for the film.

But it has been proven that the Oscar selection system of more than 6,000 judges is the most fair and reasonable way to campaign.

Even though there are many judges like Sean Penn in the Star Flag Nation film industry, who have a great bias against a movie.

But it can still guarantee that a really good movie will not be dusted by the bias of one or two judges.

This is the key to the longevity of the Oscars and their own authority.

It is also the spirit and system that Peng Yichen and Chinese filmmakers need to study in depth.

In any case, Peng Yichen won the first game beautifully in the "battle" with Sean Penn.

A new era for Chinese filmmakers is about to begin.

Peng Yichen knows that the stubborn Sean Penn will definitely watch his own movies in person and find a way to attack him.

But he has been fearless and dares to meet the challenge of any filmmaker in the world.

Because of his works, he has the greatest reliance on fearlessness.
