Chapter 216: Oscar Night (Part II)

Hwang Jung-min, Cheon Ho-jin and Park Sung-woong sat in their positions, they could only talk to each other in a whisper, and no one came to meet and greet them, as outsiders, they were still on the edge of this circle, plus they were Asian, and the invisible discrimination kept others away from them. The three of them could only watch from afar, those Hollywood stars and the big directors talked and laughed, but fortunately, Huang Yiyu and Huang Ziren, who came to attend the ceremony later, communicated cordially with them in English, which did not seem too lonely.

And Ji Mingzhe, who took in everything, sneered in his heart, glanced at the audience, and also took Nicole, Charlize and a group of child stars, and specially introduced Huang Zhengmin They know each other, of course, those Korean media in the distance are all excitedly holding up the equipment is a wild shot. As for the previous situation, these South Korean media said that they did not pay attention to it.

Now there are almost more than 3,000 guests in the venue, and there are 500 fans who have also entered the venue under the strict monitoring of the security guards, and there are also many security guards patrolling the whole scene, most of them are from Chi Mingzhe's "Peace Dove" company, and it is a bit overkill to let mercenaries be security guards, but the Oscar organizing committee paid for it. It can be said that the security measures of this Oscars ceremony are quite tight, surpassing any previous ones.

Although tonight's Oscars ceremony is live, it is said that there is a 5-second delay, and even the former head of Disney Productions, Joe Ross, is in charge of the production, in order to prevent all kinds of small accidents, in fact, it is afraid that some brain-impulsive actors or directors will make inappropriate political remarks about this scene, SBS and KBS live TV will also be monitored, although they have paid a large amount of money to the organizing committee.

Billy Crystal is tonight's host, he is the eighth time he has served as the host of this ceremony, as a well-known actor and producer, he is very familiar with this job, and sure enough, the host who does not want to be a male actor is not a good producer.

When the audience was seated, the award ceremony finally began. Ji Mingzhe's two crew positions are next to each other, so everyone sits together casually, and he sits in a row with Perry and the actors and actresses.

Ji Mingzhe didn't listen to a word of the nonsense at the beginning of the ceremony, thinking about his own business, after tonight, he will speed up the pace of acquisition, so as to complete some layouts in the United States as soon as possible, and then return to South Korea as soon as possible to visit the women in his family who are looking forward to returning.

By the time he came to his senses, he had already begun to present technical awards, starting with Best Cinematography, nominated for "City of God", "Cold Mountain", "Battle of the Furious Seas", "The Departed" and "Pentium Age".

"The Lord of the Rings 3", which is in the limelight this year, is not nominated for this award, mainly because the whole film is full of computer special effects, and those pictures cannot be shown through the camera, so it is normal not to have this nomination.

And Ji Mingzhe's royal photographer Lee Young-sik is very nervous, his two main films have been nominated for this award, so it is normal to be nervous and excited, of course, if he wins this award, even if there is no film to shoot in the future, he will be admired by thousands of people when he returns to South Korea, this is an Oscar photography award.

"Are you going to open a photography school......? Poof......"

Very strange mentality, he was nervous at the scene at this time and began to think crankily, and then he couldn't help laughing in his heart, thinking about it before he won the award, he looked at Chi Mingzhe and felt that if he didn't win the award, he would sell it to him in his life, and he was ready to shoot until he died!

"Cold Mountain" - Rongzhi Li ......!"

The screen of the stage is frozen on the screen of "Cold Mountain".

The applause of the audience was thunderous, and there were even cheers, all from the group of media reporters in the rear, and it must have been those South Korean reporters who went crazy. Li Rongzhi was still sitting still, and he didn't react until Ji Mingzhe called his name, of course, his face was already red, and he hugged his colleagues who stood up one by one.

Since calling the United States, he has been trying to recharge his batteries at any time, learning from various films in the MGM film library, and not missing any opportunities. also wrote a lot of notes to accumulate, for which Ji Mingzhe saw that his success has a lot to do with his own efforts, of course, there must be a good opportunity to show, Hollywood has no shortage of hard work, only lack of opportunities, so Lee Young-sik succeeded.

The photographers of SBS and KBS pointed their cameras at him, bowed indispensably, finished their testimonials in fluent English, and greeted their parents, wives and children in Korean.

Chi Mingzhe's house was also in a commotion, and the girls cheered loudly for his film to win the award. At home far away in South Korea, 7 women also got together with their maids to watch the live broadcast in a private theater of their house, and they were very happy to see their man's movie win an award.

Han Jiaren's belly is already very big, she can only slap carefully when she leans on the big chair, and she also leans on Kim Tae-hee on the side, although her stomach is still flat, it does not prevent her from enjoying the special treatment of pregnant women, and there are a few extra servants guarding the two of them while watching the screen, and they are ready to be dispatched at any time.

Lee Young-sik, who got off the stage, was still a little dizzy, but when he hugged Ji Mingzhe, he still teased that he would never live with him again next time he went out to shoot. Huang Zhengmin and the others also congratulated him, happy that his fellow country won the Oscar.

Next, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, and Best Makeup were all won by "The Lord of the Rings 3". The applause of the audience has not stopped, watching their crew take the stage to accept the award, many reporters are counting in their hearts to see how many awards they can win tonight.

Best Foreign Language Film went to "Barbarian Invasion", followed by the all-important Best Supporting Actress award, which was a fierce competition for "Dusty Home" Sori Andasru, "April Fragments" Patricia Klassen, "Mystic River" Marcia Guy Harden and "Thirteen" Holly Hunter were all strong contenders for this award, but they all lost to Renee Zellweger of "Cold Mountain".

The first important award tonight was won by Ji Mingzhe's crew, whether it is "Cold Mountain" or "Departed" The crew is very happy, they are all films of the same company, so the applause is not stingy.

After Renee stepped down excitedly, she thanked Chi Mingzhe very much, took a bite on his face, and said that he would continue to cooperate if he had the opportunity in the future, and of course Ji Mingzhe agreed very cooperatively. And several women in his Korean family are very angry, saying that this woman is shameless and takes advantage of his own man, only Lee Hyori suspects that they have slept with him, which is really a big wrong.

Best Editing, Best Sound, Best Mix, Best Visual Effects and other awards are won by "The Lord of the Rings 3", and there are already 7 awards, which makes them attract attention, and there is no problem in the headlines tomorrow, the key is to look at the real awards in the back. WHEN THE BEST ANIMATED FILM WAS WON BY AN INDEPENDENT PRODUCTION CALLED "HARVIE-KRUMPET" (NUDE HARVEY BREAKS INTO LIFE), CHI MINGZHE WAS ALSO ON FIRE.

The newly acquired DreamWorks Animation Studio has been renamed Skyrim Animation Special Effects Company, and is making internal adjustments, and he immediately invested a full 3 billion US dollars, so that they can step up upgrading equipment and purchase technology patents, and strive to reach the world's first level in hardware as soon as possible, of course, some technologies will not be sold by others, so he also set up a reward mechanism, who has a technical invention will be rewarded, of course, the patent can only be sold out to the company. Not only did the salary increase by 50%, but also the technical rewards, and when I met such a generous and good boss, the skyline animation was immediately full of enthusiasm and high morale.

When the Best Supporting Actor was announced to be won by Cheon Ho-jin with "The Departed", not only the Korean reporters behind him, but all the people who watched the live broadcast of this show in South Korea cheered excitedly, and even the major TV stations then temporarily inserted this good news in the news, the previous broadcast was Lee Young-sik, and now it is Cheon Ho-jin, the entire Korean film industry was extremely shocked by these two good news, calling it a miracle.

At the same time, I am also extremely envious of MGM Korean Pictures, after the name change of Skyrim Pictures, Korean filmmakers have said a lot of strange things, these people must be very unhappy, and think that this is the invasion of American films into the Korean film market, although both companies are the same boss, I have to say that these people have strange heads. Fortunately, they are just complaining, and they don't have the strength and guts to go against MGM Pictures in South Korea, in fact, they are jealous in their bones, and now there is only envy left, especially those actors in their own company, who are also gathered in a practice room to watch live TV, and they are all very excited, thinking about whether they can go to the United States to make a film and win an award or something in the future.

Ji Myung-cheol and Hwang Jung-min hugged him again after Cheon Ho-jin stepped down, which made all the guests look at him, and the four Asian faces were so conspicuous that only some Asian filmmakers who came to watch the ceremony showed sincere smiles on their faces.

The best song and best soundtrack were easily won by "The-Scarlet-Tide" and "Heartful-Memories" in "Cold Mountain", and Ji Mingzhe took the stage to accept the award as a songwriter.

"Honestly...... I am very happy with this award...... I'm really excited...... It was the first time I had won a ...... while standing on the Oscars It's an honor to be a music award......"

Ji Mingzhe looked at the guests in the audience, but there was no expression on his face, but then a ridiculous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and there were already people laughing uncontrollably, and he immediately said.

"I know there must have been people on the organizing committee who attended that Grammy. ”

"Aha...... Hahaha......"

Many of the guests below laughed, and many people remembered the Grammys two years ago, when Ji Mingzhe came to the stage to accept the award, he said that he wanted to win the Oscar, and it turned out to be a music award today, but it was still a music award.

"Thank you!"

This guy also deliberately turned around and shouted backstage.

"Hahaha......"

Nicole Kidman and Natalie Portman in the audience laughed and looked at him on the stage with fiery eyes, the key to humor and humor is very, very rich, which woman doesn't love, even Kate Beckinsale who is sitting in the back, and she didn't see Lang West on the side with a black face. The girls in the family are also laughing, only the women in the Korean family are in waste of English, and they can only watch the translated subtitles on the screen, so they don't think it's funny.

There were some awards again, the best original screenplay and adapted screenplay, which were won by "Lost in Translation" and "The Lord of the Rings 3", and finally waited for the award for the best actor and actress, but unfortunately Nicole didn't get there but she wasn't disappointed much, she didn't expect it, but Chi Mingzhe still held her hand and comforted her in a low voice, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, there would definitely be a big bite. As for the competition for Best Actor, Jude Law and Leonardo are disappointed, Sean Penn of "Mystic River" won the award, and Chi Mingzhe is not disappointed, these two guys are not actors from their own company, but there is still comfort, although everyone is doing well, but if you really be a "good pot friend", hehe! Take your time! Because this is Hollywood, all interests come first.

When the race for Best Director arrived, there was silence as everyone watched the big screen roll over the nominees, "City of God," "The Lord of the Rings III: The Return of the King," "Clash of the Seas," "Cold Mountain," and "The Departed" , The scene is rolling rapidly, like what Bo Cai machine is waiting to stop, the picture left is the reward, every director who won this nomination is very nervous, Peter Jackson, the fat man has sweaty palms, and he is praying to God in his heart, of course, God went shopping today and was not at home, so the picture of "The Departed" was frozen on the big screen, and Chi Mingzhe must have covered all the expenses of God's shopping, so he won this award.

"William Chi...... "The Departed" ......!"

"Bang Bang Bang...... Bang bang ......"

The audience was boiling, everyone stood up to congratulate, and Peter Jackson's heart felt like something was broken, and his mind was in a trance.

Ji Mingzhe stood up very calmly, although his eyes were blazing, but unfortunately there was no focus, but he felt that he was finally satisfied, and then one was soft, two soft, until the three soft bodies hugged him, he came back to his senses and gently hugged Perry, and hurried onto the stage.

"I have to be grateful, Oscar organizing committee, thank you......"

Bowing in the direction of the backstage, Ji Mingzhe faced the bottom of the stage.

"It's been more than six years since I joined the directing profession in '98, and I still vividly remember when my university professors told me that my graduation work could be shown on the big screen...... My mood is...... What kind of ......"

Ji Mingzhe's voice was a little choked, no matter what, tonight was his lucky day.

"So I'm grateful to the teachers and the school for helping me so selflessly, and I'm proud to be a graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts...... But ......"

The applause from the audience continued, and New York University was also very happy at this time, the students who graduated from their own school earned the honor for their own family, and now the students trained by the school finally have another Oscar director and he is also Asian. Although Ang Lee is also from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, he is not a "biological son" after all, but he came to graduate school, but at this time and that time, at that time, Ang Lee became famous, and the school was very happy that after all, he was also a research monk cultivated by himself, but Chi Mingzhe was his own son, although he was not continuing his studies.

“…… When will the Academy award me the Best Director and Best Film awards at the Wasserman Awards?...... Okay, I'm kidding, I'll go back to school and set up a scholarship to give some necessary help to students from Asia who want to get good grades in the future...... Of course, I also became a university in Jeju Island, South Korea...... Inside......"

Well, he took the opportunity to advertise the university he had built, but fortunately he only passed by.

Ji Mingzhe's graduation work won the Wasserman Award within the college, but he had already graduated and returned to Los Angeles at that time, and he didn't think to receive it, which has been delayed until today. It is estimated that the school also hopes that he will go back, so that he can do publicity, and it is a good thing that he will donate, after all, making a donation is still very well received and welcomed in the United States, and many universities in the United States have also received donations from their own school graduates, which is also a tradition.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The applause rang out again.

"I would also like to thank my late father...... And my ...... in Korea Kiss...... Fellow relatives!"

He almost slipped his mouth, he wanted to say thank you to his girlfriends in South Korea, but fortunately he held it back, otherwise something big would happen in South Korea tomorrow......

Several women in the family were also in tears at this time, he was really out of luck...... Ahem! Han Jiaren was still crying quietly, and was quickly persuaded by Kim Tae-hee on the side, for fear that she would have an accident if she was excited.

"It's okay! Ernie ...... I just miss him so much!"

"I want to too!"

Han Jiaren's words touched Kim Tae-hee very much, no, and several women present were very touched and ...... Urgently, I hope he can return soon. Even the anxious Lee Hyo-ri was ready to call him immediately and let Ji Mingzhe come back with a dead death, but he was finally persuaded to stop.

Chi Mingzhe, who was on the big screen at home, went on to say a few words and stepped off the stage, and the applause was still ringing for him.

Tonight has a happy ending, as for the best film, Ji Mingzhe doesn't pay much attention to it, but it would be best if he could get it, at least the DVDs released in the surrounding markets could sell better.

The girls and boys in the family were all happy at this time, and they seemed to have no strength, leaning on the sofa and waiting for the ceremony to end, and Chi Mingzhe took them to celebrate. Xiao Xuexuan leaned on Sun Naen's body again and fell asleep, but was hugged into her arms by Quan Baolan, who saw it, and really fell asleep for a while. Li Juli was puzzled by her actions, especially when she patted Xiao Xuexuan's body with a motherly look in her eyes.

Immediately, Juli seemed to think of something in her heart, and she was almost scared to death.

"What's wrong with you?"

Li Juli immediately sat down next to Baolan and squeezed Sun Naen away, which made the girl a little sad.

"Shhh......h Speak quietly......"

It was that kind of look again, Li Juli was a little timid.

"What are you going to say?"

Quan Baolan looked at Li Juli in a daze and asked.

"Are you ......?"

Looking around, Li Juli lay on the sapphire blue ear and muttered.

"Yikes...... How come?"

Quan Baolan blushed with shame, and Li Juli actually asked her if she was pregnant.

"Really, not?"

Li Juli asked in a worried whisper, but she was relieved when she saw Baolan's crying and laughing appearance......

The final best picture was awarded to "The Lord of the Rings 3", which can be regarded as a consolation, producer Michael Lin and Marco Odysskai took the stage to accept the award together, although Peter Jackson did not win the best director, but tonight's "Lord of the Rings 3" still won 10 awards, tomorrow's media will definitely be hyped, the release will also be very happy, and the surrounding will be a big hit.

After the ceremony, Ji Mingzhe, Lee Young-sik and Qian Haozhen were blocked by the media again, of course, there are Korean media behind, but their own media only took photos on the periphery and did not participate, tomorrow they will give their own media an exclusive interview, and even let SBS record a documentary, which will take pictures of Ji Mingzhe's daily life and life working in the United States, and take it back to South Korea to broadcast, I believe the audience will be very interested.

"Vanity Fair" has always been the sponsor of the Oscars' celebration reception, so Ji Mingzhe saved face for a while, and then made an appointment with Nicole, and he rushed back to pick up the girls to attend the company's own celebration reception. (To be continued.) )
