Chapter 438: Thanks to CAA

The Oscars ceremony was broadcast live from multiple countries and regions, and the red carpet show was the first peak to be watched.

This year is the second year in a row that Forrest Gump has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor, and this "Untouchable" has performed well at the global box office, and it still attracts ratings in the eyes of the domestic media.

The live broadcast of the TV channel is not easy to talk about for some reasons, so this time the Oscars are broadcast live on the Internet channel, CCTV's network platform first won the right to broadcast the live broadcast, and then it was rebroadcast, Youku and LeTV can see the live broadcast in English together.

At half past five in the afternoon of US time, the 90-minute red carpet show was displayed on the screen without a bad score, and some domestic media quickly typed the title - "The Chinese Army Shines on the Oscar Red Carpet".

However, some of the things that are evident on the red carpet are obvious.

"What's going on with Forrest Gump? I almost didn't stop in between? The host didn't give an interview?"

"Please, did I cross over? Li Lianjie is more popular than Forrest Gump in Hollywood this year? Look at the host's trotting past ......"

"Today's Li Bingbing is so aura. ”

"Friendly reminder, Li Bingbing has no works shortlisted for the Oscars at all, she is here to rub the red carpet, right?"

"Shang Wenjie??she's in Hollywood??"

For a while, netizens talked a lot, and they were surprised by Forrest Gump's performance on the red carpet, although his smile did not change when he walked the red carpet, but the comparison between the stars of his own country before and after still made people see a trace of embarrassment.

This can't be seen at all that Forrest Gump is one of this year's best actors.

As a gathering place for Forrest Gump fans, the posts on the official website forum are refreshing at an unprecedented speed, and everyone is puzzled why this is happening, which is completely different from the imaginary heartthrob.

Soon, the official staff in the forum released a summary post of Forrest Gump walking the red carpet, not to mention the best on the red carpet several times before, it can also be seen that it is very shining - Givenchy's custom suit and Gan Jing have always been very compatible.

The official top post only put a collection of past pictures, without a text explanation, which can be regarded as a response to some posts with ulterior motives in the forum, and in addition, they are also a little confused about the situation in the United States.

Lao Chen is busy with Zhou Dongyu's new play, and others can't communicate with Forrest Gump at the first time, and the information they have obtained is actually no different from netizens.

Oscar's live broadcast continues, the red carpet session has ended, and in the process of scanning the audience, the audience can only occasionally see Forrest Gump who seems to be sitting quietly in his position, quite lonely.

……

Originally, after the crew members came over, Gan Jing had the intention to chat and talk about the Oscars this time, but he didn't expect that the director had actually joined the CAA and was considered an "enemy" person.

Previously, there was a senior vice president of CAA who was both wooing and demonstrating to communicate with him, and now there is Olivier playing the emotional card in a two-pronged way...... To be honest, he was in a bad mood.

Not because of anything else, but because of Olivier's abruptness.

If the director, who flew to the capital and sincerely invited himself to star in "Untouchable", expressed his attitude straight to the point when he met today, then Gan Jing's heart would be much better.

But when the two chatted for a long time, Olivier still half-truthed and half-truthful temptations before he sincerely invited himself to join CAA......

This sincerity is not the sincerity of the other.

Gan Jing can understand Olivier's approach, but he will inevitably be a little depressed.

Host Billy Crystal has already stood on the stage, this is his ninth time as the host of the Oscars, and he is a familiar face of the old seniority.

"Is Christo your man?" Gan Jing suddenly turned his head and asked.

Olivier nodded, and then explained: "Signing is relatively free, and there are not many restrictions. ”

Gan Jing nodded, his face as usual.

In this year's Oscars, "Hugo" received 11 nominations and was the first favorite, followed by "The Artist" with 10 nominations - although this work received 10 nominations, Andy still regarded it as a small probability event when analyzing it, and "War Horse" and "Moneyball", which received 6 nominations each.

"Untouchable" received only two nominations, Best Actor and Best Foreign Language Film.

However, because of the rules, one of the five candidates for Gan Jing to become the best actor was to squeeze out Leonardo and Fassbinder, who were very popular before.

Now sitting in the Kodak Theatre, the other four contenders he has to face are Demian Bizier, Brad Pitt, Georges Clooney, Jean Dujardin.

The host was warming up, Gan Jing thought for a while, and suddenly heard Olivier's voice next to him: "Who do you think this year's actor is?"

"Pete. ”

"Why?" asked Olivier why.

"This seems to be the third time he has been nominated, and we have a saying in Huaxia that there are only three things, so I guess so. Gan Jing replied casually.

"You didn't think about yourself. ”

Gan Jing paused and replied: "It's actually very good to be able to get to this point, and the box office exceeded my expectations." Isn't it a success for you?" he said with a little sarcasm.

Olivier laughed, "That's true. After a few seconds, he added: "But I believe you will definitely win the actor, even if not this time." ”

This time, it was Gan Jing's turn to ask the reason: "Why?"

"You're still young compared to all of you here, and according to your words, it's time for your turn. Olivier bowed his head, "Sincerely." ”

Gan Jing's eyes moved, and he didn't say anything anymore.

The process on the stage continued, the camera occasionally swept over this side, and there was no rudeness on Gan Jing's face, and it was always a smile.

Best Documentary Short Film was announced, about the lesbian "Face".

Best Clip Announced, I Tattoo But I'm a Good Girl for "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo".

The Best Animated Short Film was announced, and the name was very long, "The Magic Flying Book of Mr. Maurice Lesmo".

And then it's time for the best foreign language film.

The Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is widely known in China for the year "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won, and before that, another "Hero" was also nominated.

Some people say that the best foreign language film is no worse than the best picture, because the former is a global selection of films, and the latter is mainly for Hollywood films.

Moreover, the selection mechanism for the best foreign language film is even more cruel, each country and region can only send one selection, and then after three rounds of screening, the top nine will be selected and five more will be selected, and finally the award can be awarded.

At this moment, the award presenter Sandra Bullock is already standing on the stage with an envelope in her hand - the winner of the 10-year actress.

The screen began to flash the highlights of the shortlisted films, and Bullock also hung his appetite as usual, and the announcement was delayed.

Gan Jing sat in his seat, unfazed.

At this moment, the camera is indispensable to him, and even stayed for a while.

Sandra Bullock's eyes fell, and her voice circled the Kodak Theater and entered Gan Jing's ears: "Congratulations to "Untouchable" for winning the best foreign language film. ”

Olivier got up from his seat with an excited face, Gan Jing got up and hugged him, ready to get out of the way, but Olivier actually touched him and motioned for him, the leading actor, to go up and accept the award.

Gan Jing was stunned, according to convention, this award is received by the director.

The camera faithfully recorded everything, and Olivier didn't move, looking at Forrest Gump with a smile, and pushed his arm again.

Gan Jing took a deep breath, turned around and strode towards the stage, feeling a little unsure of what it was like for a while.

He took the trophy for Best Foreign Language Film from Bullock's hand, looked around, knew that the camera had to be on him at this moment, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and touched the trophy with some emotion.

"Thank you CAA, thank you...... Oh no, sorry, I forgot I'm not from CAA. ”

There was a burst of laughter in the theater, and Gan Jing's first words amused the people below.
