Chapter 349: An Opportunity to Open a New Era
For ordinary movie fans, the Oscars may just be a boring conversation point to brag about each other.
But in the film industry, it is the supreme honor of every filmmaker.
No matter how many people caricature the commercialization of the Oscars, they satirize the Oscar judges' stubborn insistence on the "leitmotif" and political correctness of the Star Flag Nation.
But all filmmakers cannot deny that the Oscar is still the fairest and most authoritative film professional award in the world today.
His influence in the world is unmatched by any other film award.
Almost all filmmakers, whether actors, directors, or behind-the-scenes workers, can fight for this award for life.
Peng Yichen knows that the Oscars are an award of the star flag country in the final analysis.
However, just like the organizing committee of the Nobel Prize is in Sweden, the significance of the Nobel Prize has long exceeded the limits of national borders.
The Oscars have so far surpassed the limits of national borders, and he is an honor awarded to the strongest in the world's film and television industry for a whole year.
The Oscars have never favored Hollywood's commercial blockbusters, and even deliberately targeted Hollywood movies many times.
It is this insistence on art and the film profession that makes filmmakers around the world willing to believe in the authority of this award.
Before there is no award in China that can reach the heights of the Oscars, Peng Yichen must obey this rule and prove himself at the Oscars.
In this way, he can lead Huaxia Film to gain a foothold and develop in the international film market.
Of course, his ambitions are beyond the reach of anyone else.
For Chen Jiqi, Zhao Liansheng, and Wang Qing's children, these people have only been in the Chinese film market.
The Oscars are more of a distant goal out of reach.
So they didn't even dare to imagine that they could be nominated for the Oscars, let alone win the final trophy.
This is the reason why Peng Yichen insisted on signing them up for the Oscars, and he wanted to give these Chinese filmmakers, at least the people around him, the confidence to truly compete with international filmmakers.
Compared to them, Yu Jing was much calmer at this time.
It's not that she thinks she can definitely get the Best Actor nomination, it's just that she is now married and married, and her career pursuit is not as persistent as before.
As long as Peng Yichen can be healthy and happy, the two of them can reunite and live a good life, everything is enough for her.
Of course, in her heart, she has always regarded "Life is Beautiful" as the best movie she has ever made. As for whether Oscar recognizes her performance or not, it doesn't matter too much.
"It's going to start soon!!" Robinov, who had been staring at the stage, suddenly smiled and said to everyone.
The creators of "Beautiful Life", who were still talking to each other, were all watching the situation on the stage intently at this time.
March 27, 2010 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
In anticipation of fans around the world, ABC TV began to broadcast live, and the 82nd Oscars announced the list of nominees.
Simone Gandel, chairman of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in the Star Flag Country, took the stage first, and then the famous Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin, on the central stage of the hall of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, faced with the cameras of more than a dozen media, announced the full list of finalists for the Oscars to filmmakers, fans and media all over the world.
At the same time, it was 11:39 a.m. China time.
Countless fans reported that they had never been excited, skipping classes and classes, and sitting in front of the TV and computer, waiting for the moment when the nominees were announced.
All the fans and filmmakers who are extremely concerned about Huaxia movies have even clenched their fists nervously and gritted their teeth, waiting for the moment when Peng Yichen, the representative of Huaxia films, will succeed or fail.
Now, even the audience in Xingqi Country only cares about one thing, that is, whether Peng Yichen, the "billion director" of Huaxia, can be successfully shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film like the cowhide he bragged.
In the end, he was defeated and lost, and he rolled back to the Chinese film market to survive.
In fact, in previous years, when the nominations for other Chinese films for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film were announced, Chinese fans and fans of Xingqi Country were also not very concerned about the final result.
After all, Huaxia Films has films that are selected for the Oscar every year, but none of them have ever won awards, and even fewer and fewer films have been nominated, and in the end, they can't even get nominations.
The only award-winning "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" directed by Li An is also a Hollywood martial arts movie shot by "Hollywood orthodox directors" in the hearts of Chinese people.
This made Chinese fans completely lose confidence in winning the Oscar.
A football game that is doomed to fail, and no fan wants to pay attention.
Similarly, an Oscar nomination party that is doomed to failure, fans are also reluctant to pay attention.
But this time, when Peng Yichen had just decided to select the Oscars for "Beautiful Life", he made a bold statement that he would teach "Xingqi Chinese people to make movies".
And when "Beautiful Life" was released in China, the word-of-mouth was so good that it exploded.
When the Star Flag Country gave the Oscar judges a free screening, the word-of-mouth was even more amazingly good.
This has brought a sense of expectation to Chinese fans that they have never had before.
If Peng Yichen makes his debut at the Oscars, he will be able to realize his bold words and successfully win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Then this story will inevitably become a good story in the history of Chinese films!
People always like to see legends and miracles appear, just because life is always uneventful.
Chinese fans are looking forward to a Chinese legend blooming in the Star Flag Country and even internationally, and it will shine with the brilliance of China.
You must know that Peng Yichen is only 27 years old, if he can successfully gain a foothold in the North American film market this time and win the Oscar award.
So with his experience of living in the Star Flag Country for more than ten years, and his own film talent, he was able to successfully enter the Hollywood and even the international film market.
You must know that before that, there had never been a Chinese mainland actor and director who could succeed in Hollywood and the international film market.
If Peng Yichen can be like Bruce Lee, he can create an era of his own in the world's film market.
Maybe in the next 20 or 30 years, Hollywood will have a chance to become a stage where whites, blacks, and Asians can all play fair!
After all, Hollywood film companies are profit-seeking, as long as there are Chinese people who can prove that they can be recognized by the international film market, then even the most stubborn Hollywood companies will inevitably give more Chinese people the opportunity to display their talents in Hollywood.
This is the greatest significance of Peng Yichen's entry into the North American film market and the Oscars.
Peng Yichen's success or failure will have a crucial impact on the entire Chinese filmmakers and the future of Chinese films.
It is precisely because of this importance that every Chinese movie fan and filmmaker who sits in front of the TV and computer and watches this live broadcast can't wait to hear the name of "Beautiful Life" and read it out of the mouths of the two foreigners on this stage.
Whether it is the filmmakers in the conference rooms of film and television companies, the students in the university dormitories, the white-collar workers in the office buildings, and the thousands of netizens in front of the computer.
At this moment, all of them silently repeated in their hearts: ""Beautiful Life" ...... "Beautiful Life" ......".
They are looking forward to, praying, and want God to give Huaxia Film a chance to open a new era.
And Chairman Simone Gander and veteran actor Alec Baldwin on the stage of Chinese cinemas, as all Chinese fans wished, slowly began to announce the list of nominees for each award.
The films shortlisted for Best Short Film at this year's Academy Awards are, "The New Tenant", "The Door", "The Magician's Dream", "Carvey", and "The Mysterious Fish"
……
The shortlisted for this year's Best Animated Short Film are, "The World of Trademarks", "French Roasted Coffee", "Granny Green's Sleeping Beauty", "The Old Lady and the Grim Reaper", "Super Invincible Dog: Bread and Death", ......"
According to the law known to everyone, the announcement of the shortlist progresses from the unpopular awards to the hot and popular awards.
At the beginning, Chairman Simone Gandel announced some marginal awards, and those important awards were put at the end, announced by veteran actor Alec Baldwin.
Every time Chairman Simone Gandall reads out the list of nominees for an award, many of the shortlisted films cheer in front of the television, while many more losers cover their faces and are disappointed.
When the best art design was announced, and there was no name for "Beautiful Life", the main creators of the "Beautiful Life" crew shook their heads regretfully.
The art design and set of the crew of "Beautiful Life" are all handled by the master of Chang'an Film Studio, which can be said to be the pinnacle of Chang'an Film Studio's art design.
Now he missed the Oscars, which made all the main creators of the crew present a little disappointed.
Peng Yichen looked at everyone's depressed expressions, smiled and cheered: "It's okay, this is just a small award, we can't give us all the awards." ”
Peng Yichen's jokes made the atmosphere of the scene a lot easier.
Everyone shook their heads, thinking: What's wrong with me, I didn't expect "Life is Beautiful" to be nominated for anything other than Best Foreign Language Film.
Now it's just a loss of a nomination, how can it be a loss.
I don't know if it's an illusion, everyone feels that the lights on the scene are getting brighter and brighter.
Yu Jing gently hit her chest with her hand to relieve the tension in her heart.
She couldn't help but whisper to Peng Yichen and complained:
"You see, I boasted about Haikou before. encircled the hearts of everyone in the crew. It made everyone disappointed because they lost a nomination.
In fact, the Oscar was shortlisted or not, and we also showed the style of Chinese movies this time. I believe that one day you will be able to make a movie that will conquer the world, and you are still so young, don't worry. ”
Peng Yichen listened to Jing's concern for himself, he was still full of confidence, smiled slightly, and took Yu Jing's hand, "Whether I praise Haikou or not, let's wait and see." ”
