Since the Avengers forcibly hyped "Yoo Kyung-jeong's Oscar Declaration", discussions about "Yoo Kyung-jeong's new movie" have been carried out online and offline, until Yoo Kyung-jeong himself admitted in magazines and micro-blogs that he wants to march to the Oscars, and this discussion reached a climax.

Because the original Nobel was also won in a voice of doubt, the voice of doubt this time was relatively weak, on the contrary, under the manipulation of some people, everyone's expectations for Liu Jingting are getting higher and higher.

This is a very simple logical relationship, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment at that time.

Then, "Forrest Gump", which was regarded as the "number one Oscar player", was released, which quickly set off a "Forrest Gump whirlwind" around the world, and everyone naturally thought of Liu Jingting and his so-called "breakthrough prison-themed film works".

This is also a very interesting thing, generally speaking, everyone will rarely regard a movie as the work of a certain screenwriter, but as a "work of XX director", which will be more clear to audiences with subtitle control.

Just like when the Nobel Prize was in turmoil, Liu Jingting's sentence "I will win the Nobel Prize in three years" made every work qualified for the Nobel Prize within three years have something to do with him.

"Liu Jingting, who hasn't stopped since his debut. ”

At the beginning, the media and netizens were still keen on doing "Gu Yong's birth year" and "Liu Jingting year", but later found that every year was his year, as long as he tossed his mind, he didn't need to hire another team to publicize it, and the headlines lacked any freshness like going to the toilet.

This kind of reference then became a chicken rib, and gradually no one mentioned it.

Afterwards. Martial arts novels began to decline, and more and more people began to worry or expect Liu Jingting to gradually disappear from everyone's sight, but he swept the river of historical novels with his magnificent "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". and stepped into the more eye-catching entertainment industry and began to produce TV dramas.

Just when "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" entered a dull and long filming period, the Oscar incident was born, and the editors of the entertainment and culture section of some portals even joked privately that it was better to keep Yoo Kyung-jeong on the headlines and update his latest news once a week.

After "Forrest Gump", there is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Because this movie is a martial arts theme, there are more possibilities to compare it with Liu Jingting, and the domestic critics of the "inverted ancient school" have commented that the depth of "Crouching Tiger" is more than any of Liu Jingting's works. The reason why martial arts novels are difficult to get into the hall of elegance is because of the lack of this kind of rigorous work that explores people's hearts.

This view is naturally untenable and is quickly besieged by readers, writers, and other commentators, but it itself is in line with the interests and tendencies of some people. It also gathered a certain number of supporters. Stubbornly resist the vast number of "Baogu factions".

"Not to mention anything else, let's all objectively evaluate it, one of Gu Yongsheng's martial arts novels is considered one, which one can achieve such great results abroad after being adapted into a movie, and may even win the Oscar?"

Now discussing Liu Jingting, the most correct direction and style of painting must be to lead to the Oscar, because everyone's attention is on this news.

"The Shawshank Redemption" thus set a brilliant result of $25 million on the opening day, which is on par with "Forrest Gump". To the surprise of many, the first batch of film reviews is also the same as the current biggest rival "Forrest Gump". It has shown a one-sided trend, and several well-known movie rating websites have also given "Shawshank" a score comparable to "Forrest Gump".

"Originally, I entered the cinema with the mood of watching a 'good show', but as a result, I really saw a good show, I have never seen such an exciting prison movie, and I am still deeply trapped in the plot and can't extricate myself, Liu Jingting is really likely to create another miracle this time. ”

"This is the most profound and perfect film to date that illustrates the beautiful word 'hope'!"

"The most powerful commentary on freedom, a great work!"

"There is a kind of bird that can't be closed! 5 stars highly recommended!"

"A feast!"

"A wonderful movie that doesn't need love and beauty!"

Except for a few viewers who said that they "have too high expectations for Nobel laureate Liu Jingting", at least eighty percent of the audience gave positive reviews, large-scale praise for film reviews, and the continuous increase in the number of professional movie ratings, all of which clearly show that this is a good movie with genuine value.

Driven by curiosity, more audiences walked into the theater the next day, and then more compliments appeared on online forums.

"Freedom" and "hope" have become the most frequent words in the evaluation of this movie, and the comparison with "Forrest Gump" has gradually expanded, until some viewers directly shouted "This film is more shocking than "Forrest Gump", and the firefight between the two films began to enter the white-hot stage.

……

"Now that the whole American movie world is arguing about you, how do you feel?"

On the way back to the Yingri Building from the Sunshine School Park,Yang Lilu finally couldn't help but ask Liu Jingting curiously,Since the release of "Forrest Gump",He has been indifferent to the news in the United States,No matter how other editors create topics,He always answered in monosyllabics,Not much interest。

"Normal. ”

"You're like this, I'm going to bite you. ”

Liu Jingting suddenly grimaced and said with a smile: "Of course I'm excited, but who knows the result......"

"Which one do you want to win?"

"Forrest Gump is more likely, but for me, no matter which one it is, isn't the result the same?"

Liu Jingting squeezed Yang Lilu's hand.

Yang Lilu nodded obediently, as long as he can win the award, even if he completes his mother's task, when the time comes, there will be no one in this world who opposes them being together.

"Do you think Jocly will get all right?"

Yang Lilu felt quiet and comfortable at the moment, remembering Qiao Keli who she had just seen, and asked with concern.

"At least I've improved a lot, I couldn't speak before, but now I can at least talk to people. ”

Yang Lilu nodded and said, "She seems to be very familiar with you." ”

"I've known each other for many years, so I should have left a little impression. ”

The two chatted. Unconsciously walked to the Yingri Building, and as soon as she returned to the office, Aunt Qing pointed to Liu Jingting's desk and said, "Ten calls." Three are from Xingyue, and the remaining seven are from the United States. It's all on a note. ”

"Thank you, Aunt Qing. ”

"Thank you, I'm almost your secretary. Xu Qing said as she typed on the keyboard.

Liu Jingting smiled apologetically, glanced at Yang Lilu again, and returned to his seat.

According to Aunt Qing's message, I called Gong Chengpin back first, communicated about the filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was about to end, and reconfirmed the matters related to the release of "Harry Potter".

A call from the United States. Most of the time it was to report the good news and inform the Oscar application, Liu Jingting first called WB Robert, and then returned to PLM's Frank.

"I have changed the last few scenes of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Send it to you to see. Xu Qing said while still staring at the screen.

"Okay. ”

At this time, Chang Youdao posted a screenshot of a post on an American film forum about the Oscar predictions of "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption" in the work group.

"As an aside, now the boss can tell us about that surprise, isn't it "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?"

As a matter of fact. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has just come out. A few editors guessed six or seven points, and when the movie was actually released over there, it added two points. The reason why they think this way is that in this world, no one can write better martial arts except their own boss.

"Well, yes. ”

"So you don't even miss the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film?"

"You see it all?"

"Yes. ”

"Yes. ”

The office on the first floor was already excited, and someone often shouted, "It's too tough." How big is that? I'm afraid it's unprecedented, right?"

"Isn't our boss always like this, or don't make a move. The shot is the big scene. Wang Jianshan said.

"If you win Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film at the same time, you can apply for a Guinness Book of Records. ”

"Who knows where the boss's limits are?"

Everyone shook their heads with a smile, their hearts were both proud and inevitably shocked, they had always speculated on what Liu Jingting had done with the highest standards, and in the end they still found that Liu Jingting was playing higher, bigger, and stronger.

So, even if you guess it, it's still a surprise.

……

"Forrest Gump" has been released in other countries since mid-October, and the excellent reputation accumulated in the country has made the film achieve the same good results overseas, perhaps the historical aspect is not as deep as the Americans, but the line "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will taste like" has become popular in the world.

"Shawshank" and "Crouching Tiger" have also maintained the same high-flying attitude to move forward, the former has now begun to lead the score of "Forrest Gump", and the advantage of "in theaters" is reflected.

"However, these are not the winners and losers of this fight, and the best laugh will be the last laugh, and the result will be in February next year. ”

In November, "The Shawshank Redemption" ended perfectly with a box office of $550 million, although slightly inferior to "Forrest Gump", but still surprised Hollywood.

Coupled with the next Christmas "Harry Potter" and "Star Era", this year's total box office is almost certain to break the historical record ahead of schedule.

On December 18, the box office of "Star Era" was 42 million on the first day, and when "Harry Potter" was released on the 22nd, it just exceeded 100 million.

Then, "Harry Potter" officially launched a box office war with "Star Age" with a small victory of 48 million on the first day, and the Christmas war.

This year can be regarded as the liveliest year in the history of American cinema, with Oscar battles and Christmas box office battles. The excitement inside and outside the play is staged almost simultaneously.

In January, the results of the Golden Globe Awards were announced, and "Forrest Gump" unsurprisingly won several awards for Best Picture, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor, and it seems that in order to balance the awards, "Shawshank" was given three awards for Best Director, Best Supporting Actor and Best Screenplay Adaptation, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" deservedly won the Best Foreign Language Film Award.

Subsequently, the Oscars announced the nominations, and "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption" were unsurprisingly jointly nominated for Best Picture, but the former's mighty and domineering thirteen nominations far exceeded the latter and all other films this year.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was nominated for both Best Foreign Language Film and Best Picture.

"Rise of the Star Era" also has five nominations, and "Harry Potter" still maintains its status of insulating from the Oscars.

This time. Those in the know have already concluded that this year's Oscars will not escape from Liu Jingting's pocket.

But the unwitting began to carry out a new round of attacks on Yoo Kyung-jeong with the Golden Globe Award and Oscar nomination for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

……

On the evening of February 27, local time in the United States (the morning of February 28, Yenching time). The new Academy Awards ceremony was held as scheduled.

Since it is the first time that a film in China has been nominated for the Oscars, and Liu Jingting will be there to give the final blow to the Oscars, the ratings of this year's Oscars in Greater China are bound to set an astonishing record.

For the same reason, the long-term topic warm-up of Liu Jingting and Blueprint will also make this award ceremony the most watched in history.

This is a truly high-profile moment!

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or the program team deliberately arranged that the seats of the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption" and the crew of "Forrest Gump" were connected together. Liu Jingting is in the middle, which becomes the dividing point.

In addition, Blueprint and the crew of "Star Era" sat in a row in front of Liu Jingting. The distance between Liu Jingting and Blueprint is within reach.

The award ceremony has not officially started, and the scene has been swept several times.

At 5 p.m. local time, the award ceremony officially began.

Maybe it's to add another fire to the ratings of this year's Oscars. The program team arranged two Hollywood first-line actors who had been shortlisted for the Oss Best Actor as the opening hosts.

After a performance that combines singing and dancing and stand-up comedy. The stage passed the technical means of "flashback" to the black-and-white film era of the thirties and forties......

The theme of this year's Oscars is nostalgia.

Then it was time for the awards, starting with the best cinematography and art direction.

The audience in front of the scene and the screen began to enter a state of high tension.

The results of the victory and defeat are about to be revealed.

But...... The program group's selling tricks are also endless.

The more critical the awards, the more abnormal the awards.

The first major award, Best Actor, was won in the midst of such ups and downs.

"Forrest Gump, Tom!"

After a few rounds, the lottery winner finally reported the prize.

That's acceptable. Tom is already old and famous, and his performance in the movie is also very exciting. Well deserved.

Then there is a musical performance and a gag with the host......

to the best director.

Forrest Gump. Rayford!"

Liu Jingting's fans began to be calm, the atmosphere was still high, and the heartbeat of the audience in front of the screen began to accelerate.

"Best visual effects, Forrest Gump!"

"Best Editing, Forrest Gump!"

"Best Screenplay Adaptation, Forrest Gump!"

The camera kept freezing Liu Jingting, and although he kept smiling, there were still some psychologically fragile female fans who were about to cry.

"The Shawshank Redemption has not won a prize so far! "Star Era" has won one of the best sound effects. ”

"Do you want to win the best picture?"

In front of the screen, fans and book lovers clenched their fists and held their breath, as if waiting for the final verdict. Even the news that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the best foreign language film did not pay enough attention.

"This year's Academy Awards, Best Picture Winner-" The opening guests began to perform for a long time, and the compact music seemed to hit the hearts of the audience.

"Forrest Gump!"

The deafening applause then remembered that the crew of "Forrest Gump" stood up collectively and hugged each other to celebrate, I don't know if they recognized the wrong person, and the filmmaker who was sitting next to Liu Jingting actually hugged Liu Jingting.

But this picture gives fans the feeling that it is deliberately demonstrative and provocative.

"The Shawshank Redemption" has no gains!

At this moment, countless people pounded the table and scolded, wept, and turned off the TV or live online video fiercely.

"Liu Jingting, lost ......"

"Liu Jingting lost!"

Scene.

The producer and boss of "Forrest Gump" have appeared on stage, and the camera once again swept over Liu Jingting's calm face in a pretend, stopping for a moment at Blueprints, he was whispering something to the person next to him, and it seemed that he was in a good mood.

"Maybe everyone thinks that tonight's awards ceremony is coming to an end," WB boss Ed said with a smile: "But I tell you sù, this Oscars is now officially underway!"

Everyone thought it was a habitual joke and applauded as appropriate.

"I'm not joking with you!" Ed suddenly stood up, then raised his voice and said, "Now I want to invite everyone here to invite the original story, script adaptation, and art director of "Forrest Gump", which is the real creator of the film, Mr. Liu Jingting, with the warmest applause!"

Everyone at the scene, including the host, thought they were hallucinating.

"Mr. Ed, what did you just say......" the moderator asked confusedly.

"I said, please Mr. Liu Jingting, the real creator of Forrest Gump!" Ed said loudly again.

At this time, Liu Jingting had already stood up, his smile bloomed slightly, and he left his seat sideways and walked towards the stage.

At this time, the host had already received the latest notice from the backstage, and he was too late to be shocked, so he hurriedly announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, I just received a notice that what Mr. Ed said is true!"

There was a big uproar at the scene!

Blueprints, who were whispering to their friends, turned their heads blankly, and the Avengers, who were celebrating on the phone with their friends, were dazed and speechless.

"Hey, did you just hear something, did I hear it wrong?"

"And, moreover," the host seemed to be frightened again, trying to control the atmosphere of the scene and his own feelings, and continued: "I also received another notice, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which just won the best foreign language film, also belongs to, Mr. Liu Jingting!"

At this time, Liu Jingting happened to walk to the stage, Ed and the others gave him the central seat, Liu Jingting stood in front of the microphone, met the world's extremely shocked eyes, smiled and said hello:

"Good evening, everyone!" (to be continued......)
