Text Chapter 1078 Accidents continue
At this year's Hollywood Awards Ceremony, in addition to the collision of the two movies "Bomb Disposal Unit" and "Avatar", Cameron and his ex-wife Bigelow tear apart, another highlight is whether the first real Chinese actress can be born tonight.
In the past, although the Chinese media would also pay attention to the Oscars, in fact, very few media could come to the scene, and most of the articles published were from foreign websites, translated and slightly polished.
But tonight is different, Zhang Jingchu has already won the Golden Globe Award for actress, according to the analysis of past experience, as the vane of the Oscar, the actress of the Golden Globe Award, it cannot be said that she can win the Oscar actress nine times out of ten, but she is not far from ten.
Compared with Zhang Jingchu, although Song Zheng was also shortlisted for Best Actor, he had already lost the Golden Ball before, so the hope of winning the Oscar should not be too great.
Since the Golden Globe Awards, Zhang Jingchu has often been asked about the Oscars when she is interviewed by the media, no matter what Zhang Jingchu says, in short, after seeing the newspaper, those interview scripts will always add a sentence or explicit or implied prediction that Jingchu will soon become the first Chinese actress.
The previous first Chinese actress, undisputedly Zhang Manyu from Xiangjiang, she has the crown of international actress, which needs to be looked up to by other Chinese actresses.
Although there are also diva-level actors such as Gong Li, Aunt Liu, and International Zhang in China, compared with Zhang Manyu, at least the international influence is much weaker.
Although Zhang Manyu is also Chinese, in the end she is from Xiangjiang, and for domestic audiences, she always feels a layer apart.
If Zhang Jingchu can win the Oscar today, she will undoubtedly surpass Zhang Manyu and become the first Chinese actress, and she is also a native Chinese actress.
First of all, her performance in "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and her interpretation of Tiffany is destined to become a classic screen role, and secondly, the performance of other actresses competing for this Oscar actress in their respective works does not have much of a bright spot.
But in this world, when everyone thinks that something is going to happen, there is often a very bizarre situation that God does not fulfill people's wishes.
"It's unbelievable, God! It's crazy!"
Looking at Sandra Bullock, who was still standing on the stage in scantily clad clothes and showing off her little charm, Song Zheng's mood was really complicated to the top.
What no one expected happened, the Oscar for Best Actress actually fell on Sandra Bullock's head.
"When Sean and Peter were about to announce the final results just now, I had even thought of words to comfort myself, but I don't think I need it now~~~~~ I don't think it's going to be needed now!"
Sandra Bullock said, kissing the little golden figure in her hand affectionately, and tears fell completely uncontrollably.
"Thank you to the Academy, to everyone on the crew of Vulnerability, to my family, it's really a crazy thing, I really didn't expect that the Academy would end up giving me this award, now it's a dream come true, it's really amazing, thank you for all the heat, thank you! Thank you very much!"
Sandra Bullock was already a little incoherent at the end, Song Zheng looked at it, and didn't know how to feel, turned his head to look at Zhang Jingchu, and found that her face was not much disappointed, it was still as calm as just now, and couldn't help but reach out and hold her hand.
"Xiao Chu!"
"Don't say comforting words!" Zhang Jingchu said and took a deep breath, then smiled, "I am fortunate to have it, but I have lost my life!"
Is it really fate?
Perhaps, Zhang Jingchu has done her best, her outstanding performance has conquered the judges of the Golden Globe Awards, and won the queen crown at many international award ceremonies, but she lost on the biggest stage.
In the end, the academy is still stingy in recognizing the efforts of Chinese actors, and nothing is fair, TM is hell!
Although Song Zheng didn't want to complain about anything, let alone complain about anyone, this kind of thinking was still completely uncontrollable.
Can Sandra Bullock's performance in "Weakness" be better than Zhang Jingchu?
Joke!
Although Song Zheng also admits that "Weakness" is indeed a good movie, if you want to say how good Sandra Bullock's performance is, forget it!
If you want to talk about that movie, Song Zheng thinks that the black guy who plays Big Mike performs better, and even the freckles cub who plays the youngest son in the film is not bad, what is Sandra Bullock good about?
Anyway, Song Zheng doesn't think so.
For the first time, this Hollywood sweet sister played the role of a housewife and a confidant sister seriously, but that expression still feels dusty, and it is an expression from beginning to end, how can it be good enough to win the Oscar queen?
"Those people are stupid pigs!" Robert De Niro said what Song Zheng didn't say, completely ignoring the fact that there were other people around, "Oscar is completely defiled by those people, and their rigid heads will only make Oscar full of controversy and eventually ruin Oscar!"
"Robert!" Song Zheng hurriedly interrupted De Niro's words, "You're going to get into trouble!"
The reason why Song Zheng stopped De Niro was not that he was worried that the old man would cause trouble for him if he said these words, what could those people do to him, it was a big deal not to play with them, and it was not bad to return to China to be a soil emperor.
Song Zheng is worried about Robert De Niro, after all, the old man still has to continue his career here.
De Niro can't help but complain that the Chinese media who got the news outside the venue are collectively sorting out all kinds of shady scenes since the birth of the Oscars, since you are so stingy, even an almost stable Oscar actress is not willing to share with the Chinese, then don't blame them for lifting your stinky bottom.
At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, in China, people who watched the live broadcast at the same time also broke out en masse.
"Shady!
"The Yankees are playing high again, who can't see how good Zhang Jingchu is, and that knows that Sandra Bullock, who sells meat, is also worthy of being compared with Zhang Jingchu!"
"We rely on strength, and people play in pajamas!"
"Upstairs incisive!"
"I feel sorry for Zhang Jingchu, she was originally a Oscar-winning actress!"
"That's it for me to watch the Oscars!"
"I've decided to boycott all of Sandra Bullock's works today!"
"Agreed!"
Sandra Bullock, who was being interviewed in the backcourt, was immersed in the joy of being crowned queen, completely unaware that she had recruited countless Chinese black fans.
Lin Xinru is also watching the live broadcast, and when she may be defeated by Zhang Jingchu, she can't tell what kind of mood it is, there is the anger that Zhang Jingchu's actress was hacked, the regret that the good sisters missed the coronation, and the feeling of relief.
Holding the mobile phone, I wanted to send a text message to Zhang Jingchu, but after hesitating for a long time, I still didn't enter a word.
Back to the scene of the Oscars, on the stage, the awards ceremony is still going on, not many people will notice Song Zheng and their side, the focus is on the stage, and the next thing to do is the Oscar Best Actor, which is commonly known as the actor crown.
The nominees are still those who have fought at the Golden Globe Awards, and the highest voice is naturally Jeff Bridges, as for Song Zheng, even the domestic media did not expect much from him.
Song Zheng's mind was not on that, he didn't even care about the two lottery guests teasing him, all he was thinking about was which movie to use to completely convince those people in the academy.
Oscar-winning actress, this is what Song Zheng promised to Zhang Jingchu, and it is also compensation for Zhang Jingchu, and now that his promise has failed, he naturally has to find a way to make up for it, and the best way to make up for it is naturally to use another movie to make Zhang Jingchu justifiably crowned.
Of course, the reason why Song Zheng is so persistent is not entirely to compensate Zhang Jingchu, but also partly to prove to those foreigners the ability of Chinese filmmakers, so that those foreigners no longer laugh at the film works made by the Chinese, but applaud from the heart.
This stage has never been friendly to the Chinese!
Song Zheng still remembers what happened to the last Oscar he experienced before he was reborn, it was the 89th Oscars, and all the awards at that Oscar ceremony were well deserved, but for Song Zheng, what should be remembered at the Oscars that night was not the best film "Moonlight Boy", not the best director "La La Land", not the best foreign language Iranian film "Salesman", but the Chinese film "The Great Wall" caused the whole Oscar to laugh, sneer, and slap in the face!
That night, the host of the Oscars took Matt Damon as the object of ridicule throughout the whole process, and the most direct slap in the face was that the host said Matt Damon: "I have known him for a long time, when I first met, I was the fattest one, he is a very selfish person, you can find this when you work with him, but this time he did a very selfless thing, he could have starred in "Manchester by the Sea" He was the producer of the film, so he was qualified to star in it, but he gave the role to Casey Affleck, his childhood friend, and he starred in a provocative Chinese movie, called "The Great Wall", with a loss of $80 million. ”
After the host finished talking about "The Great Wall", the Oscars broke out in laughter that made Chinese fans ashamed. This naked ridicule itself is more powerful than the host's ridiculous words.
Since then, the host still hasn't let go of Matt Damon, and in the follow-up hosting, he teased him again, saying "He has no talent at all, but he can make do with bad movies", and directly slapped "The Great Wall" in the face.
I don't know if Zhang Yimou would sit in front of the live broadcast screen that night, watching the Oscars directed by Americans, and whether he would blush and feel extremely ashamed in the face of the mocking laughter that erupted from ordinary American Oscar audiences.
Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall" can be called an ambitious work, the entire screenwriting team is American, and many of them are Oscar-nominated screenwriters, and their level is not bad.
It is precisely because China does not have the real dominance of discourse in this kind of Sino-US cooperation film, and allows Western screenwriters to make up nonsense, and China stubbornly believes that this kind of nonsense is in line with the taste of Westerners.
As a result, a lot of manpower and material resources were invested, and even the best directors in China made a movie that made Americans laugh, what should be reflected on is the excessive superstition of Chinese films in the face of the American experience!
As for Zhang Yimou, he has already competed in the three old film festivals in Europe, and he has won the award, and he is one of the most well-known film directors in Asia.
His dream is to enter the mainstream discourse in the United States with his own movies, and even go back to win an Oscar. It is this kind of obsession that makes Zhang Yimou lost!
It seems that since "Hero", the veteran director is too fond of showing the so-called Chinese content with the narrative style and grand scenes that Westerners like.
For example, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" seems to tell the story of China's Anti-Japanese War, but in fact, it is just "Schindler's List" dressed as a Chinese national story, and finally it talks about salvation in the sense of Western religion.
For another example, "The Great Wall", which was sneered at by the West and the United States, seems to be a grand scene and shows the Great Wall from all angles, but it is still wrapped in the Western film template of fighting monsters, and there is no Chinese connotation at the story level, especially at the spiritual level.
According to the narrative style of American blockbusters, it is said that American fans seem to be interested in fighting monster films. War redemption films, using strong money capital to lay out special effects technology, with overwhelming scenes to pay tribute to popcorn movies, such a finished product, did not bring any face to China, on the contrary, let more American fans feel that Chinese are stupid and foolish, and even feel that China is a nation without narrative ability, without its own beliefs, without the spiritual core of its own story, itself has become synonymous with superficiality and shoddyness.
It can be said that Zhang Yimou used a "Great Wall" to corrode the high-quality business cards of Chinese national brands in the past ten years.
As for Hollywood movies and American films, they only fancy the money in the Chinese market, and the rest are selectively ignored, so to speak, they are unwilling to watch it, and even choose to disdain to watch it.
At that Oscars, the video showed pictures of China, only a few shots of Chinese fans going to the cinema to watch popcorn movies, and the content of Chinese fans' speeches in Chinese was also a compliment to how powerful the audition effect was, rather than the connotation of the movie.
Is this the Oscar's bias against China, or is this the case with the majority of Chinese filmmakers?
Of course, Chinese films must be self-reliant!
But the self-improvement of Chinese filmmakers is definitely not based on the irony of the Oscars.
The Oscars mocked Chinese blockbusters, and they shouldn't fight back, after all, they shot at the door of Chinese films, although they really stabbed Chinese movies half to death!
A big director like Zhang Yimou should maintain national expression, use the way of telling the story in the way of Chinese, tell the story of the Chinese themselves, and reflect the restraint of Chinese culture in the shooting, and try to use Hollywood special effects technology to label themselves as grand production labels.
Since Song Zheng was reborn, especially after embarking on the road of film, what he has thought about is to slap the Yankees in the faces of Chinese filmmakers, and then pull them back, not with sophistry, but with really good works.
When Song Zheng was in the world, the final ownership of this year's Oscar winner had already been revealed.
Penelope Cruz, the Spanish beauty who served as the guest of the lottery, felt almost the same, and finally decided to open the envelope, and several men who were shortlisted for the final competition on the spot immediately sat down, of course, Song Zheng is an exception, he is now full of thoughts about which movie to choose in order to ensure Zhang Jingchu's actress.
"The five men who were shortlisted are all actors I admire very much, Jeff, his performance in "Crazy Heart" is fascinating, George, he is my idol, Mr. Morgan Freeman, who has created countless classic Hollywood characters, this time he showed everyone Mandela's life, Colin, his every expression in front of the camera is full of unique charm, of course, there is Song from China, after watching "Inception", I have become his fan, this time "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" It's a very cherished work, but unfortunately, there can only be one winner!"
Several candidates in the audience complained in their hearts, isn't this nonsense?
The Oscars are very modest, such as double yolk eggs, which have been held for 82 years, and have only appeared twice.
Why are the odds so small?
This is mainly related to the selection mechanism of the Oscars, at present, the three major European film festivals and other major film awards at home and abroad are selected by a jury composed of a few accomplished directors or actors in the film industry.
The jury of the Venice and Cannes Film Festivals is 9 people, and the Berlin Film Festival has 7 jury, and due to the small number of judges, the possibility of double yolk eggs is relatively high.
The number of judges for the Oscars is currently nearly 7,000, and the final award-winning films and actors are voted for by all judges.
However, in the history of the Oscars, there have also been a few rare double yolk eggs. First appeared at the 5th Academy Awards in 1933, Wallace Billy tied with Frederick March in "Licking the Calf" and "Dr. Avatar", and the two won best actor.
The second double yolk egg appeared at the 41st Academy Awards in 1969, when Barbra Streisand and Katharine Hepburn won the actress together.
Unlike those award ceremonies in China, if you don't make a few double yolk eggs every time, it's as if it's politically incorrect.
Oscar has always refused to double yolk eggs unless it is absolutely necessary.
"I've seen the result, this result surprised me a little, okay, "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", let's congratulate, Song Zheng from China!"
