The 575th induction into the Oscar Directors Hall of Fame
(PS: The new book "Huayu's Laughter Sprinkles the World" has been released, I hope you can collect and support it, thank you on your knees!)
The deafening cheers, the shouts of great excitement, and the clear, all-around congratulatory voices drowned out the brightest people in the audience.
The moment his name was pronounced out of Mike Douglas's mouth.
Peng Yichen's muscles and nerves all over his body were tense.
But soon he relaxed, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly, he didn't expect that after so many things, he still couldn't be completely relaxed at such a moment.
Then, he hugged Yu Jing.
Although this is the second time he has won this award, I don't know why, his mood is even more exciting than when "Country Teacher" won the award.
After all, "Front Destination" is his first appearance after a year of retirement, and he doesn't want to disappoint himself or others!
Now, it's finally time to celebrate!
After letting go of Yu Jing, Peng Yichen got up and hugged Zhao Liansheng, and listened to Zhao Liansheng say with trembling words: "Director Peng, you have succeeded, you have succeeded again!"
Then Natalie also rushed over and hugged him, she laughed and said, "You lost the best actor, but you won the best director, congratulations!"
Peng Yichen smiled, didn't speak, continued to hug the other crew members, and finally walked to the stage with a smile, leaving behind all the applause and cheers on the scene.
This is the second time Peng Yichen has won the Best Director Award, the second time he has been nominated, and he is a five-time Oscar winner. And as a director, he is like a kaleidoscope, with a changeable style, never willing to repeat himself, and never follow the usual path. ”
The quirky and captivating soundtrack of "Former Destination" echoed live, and the live DJ used passionate voices to describe the extraordinary director of this year.
"This is the guy who was going to work with me on Player 1. Spielberg said to his wife, although his expression was calm at this time, and he would not be disappointed because of the loss of the Oscar for Best Director, but he was extremely emotional.
The first time I met Peng Yichen was at the Oscars 4 years ago, when he was still a young Chinese director who had just landed in North America, and he was not well-known.
Unknowingly, he has won 2 Best Director, 5 Oscars, and even the total box office of the movie has surpassed Cameron, getting closer and closer to or even surpassing him as the first commercial director.
Outside of the first time, this young man's company is getting bigger and bigger, and his power and connections in Hollywood are also getting wider and wider.
Look at the embarrassment of this year's Golden Globe Awards, and you can see how influential Peng Yichen is in Hollywood today.
Spielberg knew that when he was 29 or 30 years old, he must be far inferior to Peng Yichen. And Peng Yichen is an Asian, and in this part of North America, it is even more amazing to be able to achieve today's achievements!
You know, in the history of the Oscars, there have only been five Asian-American directors who have been nominated for Best Director.
Now Peng Yichen won the two Best Director statuettes at the age of 29 and 30 respectively, and he can already enter the Oscar Best Director Hall of Fame!
This Hall of Fame is home to 18 world-renowned directors
Among them, the most Oscar winner is John Ford, who has been nominated 5 times and won 4 times.
Then there's William Wheeler, who has the most nominations, with a total of 12 nominations, but only three gold medals.
Frank Capra is a close second, with six nominations and three gold medals.
Next are 15 big directors such as Billy Wilder, David Lean, Spielberg, Eastwood, etc., each of whom has two trophies.
Now the Hall of Fame has added a new member, and the youngest member, Peng Yichen!
Of course, it is very difficult to win another award at such a young age. No one knows when Peng Yichen's next nomination and award will be, but no matter what, for Peng Yichen's fans, now they just need to cheer to their heart's content!
Under the applause of the audience, Peng Yichen stepped onto the stage gracefully and took over the coveted Oscar trophy from Douglas.
"Thank you, thank you. Peng Yichen said into the microphone.
This time, he did not put the little golden figure in his hand on the podium, but held the trophy very seriously, feeling the heavy weight.
Tonight, the 8th golden figure fell into the pocket of "Predestination".
The applause at the Kodak Theater gradually stopped.
And what kind of wonderful speech will he make?
Together with media reporters, fans, and audiences, countless people around the world are waiting for Peng Yichen's speech with great interest;
"People are always asking me, what kind of story do you want to tell, Peng Yichen? I tell them, I just want to find those stories of love. Now, I think I should have succeeded, because "Former Destination" is indeed a story full of love, the male and female protagonists are both one person, and they still love each other, can you ask for more from this movie?" Peng Yichen laughed self-deprecatingly.
In the Kodak Theater, the guests suddenly burst into laughter when they heard Peng Yichen.
Many ladies were even more happy, and some female stars even stood up to applaud Peng Yichen.
The reason is simple, "Former Destination" is often referred to by the media as a feminist film, precisely because the heroine of this film loves only herself.
This should be the most hearty laugh of the guests tonight, and Peng Yichen finally began to use his humorous cells.
Sure enough, he immediately said: "But you have to admit that Natalie has a reason to fall in love with herself, after all, her appearance and knowledge are obvious to all, and what's even more powerful is that she has also won two Oscars, shouldn't such a woman fall in love with herself? Unlike me, I haven't won an actor once, so I still love my wife Yu Jing." ”
Hahahaha, the audience burst into laughter again.
Natalie in the audience looked at the camera aimed at her and gave Peng Yichen on the stage a roll of the eyes.
After a burst of laughter, everyone quieted down again to listen to Peng Yichen's speech.
Peng Yichen said with a smile: "Of course, I'm not saying that I'm inferior to Natalie, after all, I also won the best director twice, which is very much in line with my Asian identity, because in school, it's always beautiful women who perform on stage, but it's always Asian otaku like me who get the best results." ”
At this moment, everyone couldn't help it, and they all laughed.
"Life is like a box of chocolates, who would have thought that I would really return to this stage after a year?" Peng Yichen frowned slightly puzzled, and the audience immediately burst into laughter.
In the year since Peng Yichen stopped filming, many media predicted that Peng Yichen might have died after Jiang Lang had exhausted his talents, so they all thought that Peng Yichen might never return to the film and television industry.
Peng Yichen's words just now are satirizing these media.
In the end, Peng Yichen said with a smile: "Once again, I won this award as a science fiction movie." Should I say 'I'll be back next year' again, but ......," he exclaimed, "I'm not going to do that anymore because I'm grown up." ”
Everyone gave a standing ovation, and everyone laughed as they recalled that four years ago, this young man made a "wild speech" on this stage, and he had already fulfilled his vow and achieved success far beyond everyone's expectations.
Next, Peng Yichen finally began to thank everyone seriously: "Thank you to my family, Mom and Dad, thank you! And my beloved, Yu Jing and Mengmeng, you told me the true meaning of life, I love you!"
Yu Jing looked at the stage with a smile, feeling full of happiness.
In the living room of a manor in Boston, Meng Meng looked at the TV curiously, wondering why someone was calling her on the TV just now.
Peng Yicheng said the last words on the stage tonight, and he said with a smile: "Thank you to all the judges of the Oscars, thank you to the fans around the world who supported me, all the staff of Chen Jing Film Company, and my friends...... And most importantly, all the creators of "Former Destination", you are the best!"
"I am the Emperor of the World!"
