Chapter 101 Borrow my original heart like a teenager
"The winner of the best picture is "Titanic"!"
When the name "Titanic" was pronounced by Fevin Baint - the earth seemed to stop spinning in this second. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are so many regrets and imperfections in this world, but this second, in the hearts of all "Titanic" fans, is the most perfect moment.
The most unimaginable miracle happened, "Titanic" was completely sublimated, and the incredible 15 out of 15 was completed.
Cheng Xiaoyu and his "Titanic" braved the wind and waves to reach the end he should have reached, instead of sinking into the icy Atlantic Ocean as in the movie.
At this miraculous and incredible moment, countless Cheng Xiaoyu fans burst into tears, and in the Kodak Theater, people cheered, people gave standing ovations, and people did not hesitate to give the best praise to this amazing young man.
The splendid and colorful Kodak Theater was soaked in applause, and everyone was applauding this legend, which traveled through history, across seven continents and five oceans, and arrived at everyone's ears, with a majestic momentum that runs through the blue sky.
The towering Oscar gold figures, towering on both sides of the stage, lingering on the stage with misty crystal clouds, blue starry glass walls, under the shining lights, look solemn and solemn, 3,000 film elites in full costume all stood up and applauded, reflecting the slightly tragic music of "Titanic", giving people an incomparably shocking audio-visual sense.
Cheng Xiaoyu stood in the crowd of celebrations, the girls around him still had faint tears in their eyes, he looked up at the bright and dazzling light on the stage, and the red envelope was like a beating heart. (BGM - "Wukong" Dai Quan LIVE Version)
On the big screen on the stage, the scene of Ruth's dream of returning to the Titanic was played, and Cheng Xiaoyu walked to the final altar surrounded by a crowd full of joy, he knew that there was someone waiting for him, and he was going back in time to pull him towards the established future and fall eternally.
What a wonderful life!
Cheng Xiaoyu's calm appearance is full of turbulent waves, his memories switch back and forth under three perspectives, and his life rushes to the climax with an unstoppable momentum under the push of fate.
What an unimaginable life!
The calm narrator at this moment serves as a commentary on the peak of Cheng Xiaoyu's life: ""Titanic" has 15 nominations this time, it broke the record for the most nominations in Oscar history, and won all 15 awards, creating a new history of the Oscars. β
"It is also the third film in the history of the Oscars to win Best Director and Best Picture at the same time, and has completed the Grand Slam of Best Cinematography, Best Score, Best Editing, and Best Art Direction, which is an unprecedented record. β
Director Cheng Xiaoyu is the fourth Asian in Oscar history to be nominated for Best Director and Best Picture, the first Asian to win Best Director and Best Picture, and has entered the Oscar Hall of Fame in history as quickly as possible. β
"There have only been 18 people in the Oscar Hall of Fame for nearly 100 years, and the last one to be inducted into the Oscar Hall of Fame is Staven Bell, who has eleven statuettes, including one Best Picture and two Best Director!"
At this historic moment, Dong Guohui and Hao Yifeng in the audience were already in tears, and for them, at this moment, they only had to play the national anthem.
"Station S" and "Whisper" exploded one after another, and the title of "Cheng Xiaoyu's Oscar 15 in 15 crushed other films to be the king" instantly swept up various social networks and news websites around the world.
The best picture of the Oscar is the honor of the group, but it is generally the producer who receives the award and speaks, the producer and director of "Titanic" are Cheng Xiaoyu, naturally the greatest glory belongs to him, and the crew members of "Titanic" who surround him, almost everyone has a little golden man in their hands, shining dazzlingly!
Cheng Xiaoyu, dressed in a black suit, took over this historic little gold figure from Nonan Robert with great piety, his clean and slender fingers pinched on it looked particularly beautiful, and he was particularly dazzling under the light.
Maybe in the eyes of others, this moment is an unimaginable miracle, but for him, being able to complete such a scene today is completely planned, not unpredictable, not incredible.
The right time, place, and people made him go to 15 out of 15, winning the supreme glory of best picture and best director!
When "Titanic" achieved unimaginable box office results, the Oscar result was already doomed, and Cheng Xiaoyu and "Titanic" became the only option for the Oscar.
Because the Oscar has never been an award that only focuses on art, it has always sought a balance between business and art, and "Titanic" not only perfectly grasped this point, but also chose it to win the award, which is also in the interests of everyone in the American film industry.
At present, it is in the honeymoon period of Sino-American relations, and the rise of Cheng Xiaoyu has made a large number of Huaxia companies begin to cooperate with Hollywood film companies in a big way, and countless Huaxia funds have poured into Hollywood, and funds are what Hollywood needs most.
Cheng Xiaoyu and "Xichu" are examples that Hollywood has erected for Chinese investors.
In addition, let "Titanic" win a big victory, take the opportunity to comprehensively promote the establishment of 3D and IMAX theaters, and create a new money-making machine for Hollywood, from theaters to film companies to practitioners to film equipment manufacturers.
When Cheng Xiaoyu asked Harvey Weinstein to put the comparative profit table of "Titanic" 2D and 3D and IMAX in front of Hollywood studios, even Sony asked Peter Koppura to pinch his nose and vote for Cheng Xiaoyu and "Titanic".
This has nothing to do with "Titanic" or "The Shawshank Redemption" who has a higher artistic level, only about interests.
The choice of "The Shawshank Redemption" is nothing more than adding a trophy to Staven Bell's cupboard, and the selection of Cheng Xiaoyu and "Titanic" is to add bricks to the friendship between China and the United States, to attract investment from all Hollywood film companies, and to increase the opportunity for all filmmakers to make money.
So how to choose is a matter that has been determined.
The plot scum to "Avatar" can make Kashen nominate for Best Picture and Best Director, and you know the essence of the Oscars, but it is not artistic at all.
Cheng Xiaoyu was driven by interests to get Hollywood people to put him on the altar, but the reason why he went to the altar with all his heart and soul was not money, not an Oscar, or even fame, but a high-profile opportunity to speak.
At this moment, he stood in front of the microphone with the little golden figure in his hand, and smiled, his smile had a shallow warmth, and his eyes were a little quiet and confused.
At this moment, the flood of time was stagnant in the starlight of the universe, and the whole world seemed to be the only one left, and the whole world was only one person and looking at each other in the void.
He didn't speak loud into the microphone, but said very powerfully: "Before I went on stage, I said thank you as many as eight times, and those who want to thank me should be tired of thanking me, I think the audience and the audience in front of the TV should not want to listen to me say thank you, so now I will say something else, this paragraph may be a bit long, but I have saved so much time for everyone in front of me, so everyone can make up for me!"
The audience burst into laughter and applause.
That's exactly what everyone is looking forward to.
If Cheng Xiaoyu really didn't say anything, just said "thank you", it would be the biggest regret of this Oscar.
Cheng Xiaoyu waited for the applause to pause, and then said: "Someone suggested that if I won the best picture, I must shout Jack's line 'I am the king of the world'....... But I know I'm not, at best I'm an artist. β
Cheng Xiaoyu finally said something that was not a "thank you," what kind of wonderful speech would he have? This is a question that everyone is curious about.
At this moment, media reporters, TV sets and theater audiences all looked at Cheng Xiaoyu, who had only said a simple testimonial before, with great interest, and the whole world quieted down to listen to his voice.
"People are always asking me, Cheng, how did you want to shoot the story of Titanic? In fact, when I came to the United States, I was sure what I was going to do, and I came here to shoot the story of Titanic!"
"There is such a place where all the people with unlimited potential are gathered, and this place is the cemetery, and as an artist, to re-excavate these dead people, to dig up the stories of those who are buried, the stories of those who have great dreams but never realize them, the stories of those who fall in love and lose their loved ones. β
"And "Titanic" is the story I dug up from the graveyard of the Titanic, the Atlantic, and everyone knows that I am using this movie to celebrate love, affectionate love, benevolent love, and compassionate love......"
"On top of that, I'm denouncing the unfairness of the world......"
"Thank God for making me a director and an artist, because this is the only profession that celebrates the meaning of life, can convey my inner thoughts to thousands of audiences, and subtly change the world. β
"Why did I make Titanic, because I want to say that even now, this kind of injustice still exists, even in this era, stories like Ruth's are still being played! Everyone knows who I am and where I come from, and here, on this stage, I don't want to talk about money and power dividing all of us into different classes..... But I don't say it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, although I have enjoyed the rights and comfortable life that class has brought me, but I hate it!"
"On the other side of the class, I see extravagant houses, gorgeous clothes, countless sycophants, and the arms of hypocritical friendship that are constantly stretched out, and on the other side of the class, there are fields of freedom, beautiful flowers, vast oceans, and cold winds..... But I have to be sad enough to be glad that at least I'm still a man, so I have more choices. β
"It's hard for me to blame me for saying this, in this world, women bear more injustice than men! So Ruth doesn't seem to be able to get to the land of freedom, there is no path, and in those days she couldn't cross that lineβnot because she couldn't, not because she didn't dare, but because she was a woman. β
"Yes, now that I'm standing here, I want to talk about not only the shackles of class, but also women and women's rights, when I think of the story of "Titanic", the character of Ruth stands in my mind, she has the courage to break free from the shackles of class, the courage to pursue a free life, so she redefines beauty, sexiness, female will, and redefines women. β
"Actually, I think it's silly for women to claim to be equal to men, because women have always been better than men. β
"No matter what you give to a woman, you will get more in return, you give her a house, she gives you a home, you give her a bunch of ingredients, she gives you a good meal, you give her a smile, she will give you a whole heart, you give her a love, she gives you a child......"
"Each of us knows that women's rights may not be an independent issue in itself, but that 'women's rights' are also 'men's rights', 'minority rights', and the most basic rights of everyone living in the world to be respected and treated equally by others. β
"But the world is still unfair to women, and there is no doubt that inequality between the sexes still exists in our society. This inequality is reflected in every corner of the world.
Even in the great United States, the ratio of wages to men and women was 70 cents to $1, which was raised in 2004 and has not changed since.
If you're a minority woman, the percentage is even lower. There are 5 women in the world, and only 23 senior leaders of Fortune 500 companies are women.
While the world is celebrating International Women's Day, Egyptian women are living in dire straits. To date, 90 women have been killed, more than 3,000 innocent women have been arrested, 56 of whom have been imprisoned, and 20 women have been transferred to military courts or sentenced to death.
But this is only the tip of the Arab world, where women are discriminated against and inequality between men and women has become a persistent disease in the socio-political and cultural structure. They are required to stay at home, wear a veil when they go out, and are denied the right to education, let alone work. Half of the women were illiterate, and maternal mortality rates were unacceptably high.
And in Afghanistan, girls still have to risk their lives to get an education. A father was on his way home to pick up his daughter when a bomb attack nearly cost him his life.
When he got home, the father received a call from a terrorist who warned him that if you keep sending your daughter to class, we will continue to do so. But I was very touched by the enlightened father's words: "Kill me if you want, but I will never ruin my daughter's future because of your backward thinking." β
In Africa, the fate of women is even more tragic, with girls losing their lives every year due to genital circumcision, and the opportunity to continue their education from the age of 12 or 3, not to mention other rights.
In India, even with such a poor male-to-female ratio, having a girl is still considered a misfortune in life. Selective childbearing remains. After the black bus case attracted the attention of the international community, the high incidence of rape/explosive behavior has also been exposed, and Indian women dare not speak out after being raped/bombed, because they are the only ones who will be punished after saying it.
In the documentary "India's Daughter", the judge and the defendant's lawyer make shocking remarks, all of which are pointed at the innocent girl - all of her own fault.
The bus driver, one of the five suspects, said even more frighteningly: the media shouldn't be so concerned about this, this kind of thing is very common in India, and now it's okay, everyone is paying attention, the government is strictly enforcing the law, and we are all sentenced to death for force/explosion. But that's not right, in the past, a boy forced/exploded a girl, and the matter was over, but now after the strong/exploded, he will kill her.
In Neon, from the comfort women issue to the schoolgirl "**", from the emperor's heir to the "marriage ban" after a woman's divorce, from workplace sexual harassment to pornographic anime, neon society has long had the idea of objectifying women, and still believes that women are the appendages of men.
In China, some companies will even directly explain that only boys are needed at job fairs, and some university leaders will complain about why no boys are enrolled in the school.
Behind the women who play the role of mistresses in the anti/corruption issue are men who regard them as property and status symbols, which is in essence a continuation of the historical problem of gender injustice.
How cold these realities are, like the icy Atlantic. β
Cheng Xiaoyu stood in the center of the stage, stood in the center of the world, and said in a deep tone in the eyes of the whole world, the words he said were sonorous and powerful, and every sentence was shocking.
The entire Kodak Theater fell silent, and everyone stood and listened, and many women were already in tears.
Cheng Xiaoyu's speech is not a straightforward narrative, nor is it an impassioned praise, he hides his feelings deeply in words and stories......
On top of the last canon of the Oscars, people all over the world are listening to his speech, like watching a one-man show, he stands alone in the spotlight and tells the story, his emotions rise and fall in calm, and the emotions of all the audience are completely aroused.
Cheng Xiaoyu held up the little golden man of the Oscars with one hand, and said calmly and restrainedly: "Today, the reason why I am standing here, I won 15 Oscars, I won the best director, I won the best picture, I deceived so many people into tears, just because I described the story of a woman's pursuit of freedom and love, but the sad thing is that only when the big ship Titanic is completely sunk, Ruth can get the freedom to change her name and surname......"
"Today, the reason why I am standing here is not for the box office of 3.6 billion, not for the fifteen little golden figures, not for the world's fame, just to pray that the world can treat every girl well, just hope that every girl can pursue her own ideals like Ruth, can enjoy free love, and can be treated equally, instead of being used as a tool for fertility and trading....."
"If you were to ask me, what am I going to do in this world as an artist?"
"I would say that as an artist, I came to this world to live loudly, to use art to make this world a little better, even if it is only a little bit!"
"In the end, I want to say that the reason why this movie was born is because of my sister Su Yuxi, she is my most precious family, she taught me how to live and how to love, she is the foundation of my life...... Therefore, I am willing to sacrifice everything for her right to be able to live freely. β
"I swear! No one can restrict her life and freedom, movies and music are my weapons, and I will use them to defend her happiness!"
"Thank you Oscar, for giving me the right to speak to the world!"
Cheng Xiaoyu bowed and thanked him!
In the Kodak Theater, there was a storm of applause!
