Chapter 31: Ineffective
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Lin took Zhao Liying and stepped on the Oscar red carpet in front of the Dolby Theater.
Shen Lin held Zhao Liying all the way, except for occasionally waving to the fans who shouted his name, there was no one else grinding on the red carpet.
Of course, occasionally Shen Lin also needs to stop, after all, Yingbao still has to put a few Poss, so that he can send it back to China to publish a press release or something.
Even so, the young couple's speed is ahead of most of the star teams.
After all, it is the Oscar, the world's most eye-catching film event, compared with Cannes and the Golden Globe, the Oscar is slightly higher in terms of both the requirements for the film and the movie.
Therefore, even some indigenous people in North America are dressed up in fancy ways and compete for all kinds of beauty.
If you don't know, you thought this was Cannes!
When Shen Lin and Zhao Liying entered the media area, they almost caught up with Saoirse Ronan, who was walking in front, which made the little girl from New York look quite embarrassed.
Saoirse Ronan, born in '94, received a lot of media praise for "Brooklyn", and her name appeared on the shortlist for Best Actress throughout the awards season.
Of course, except for the Best Actress selected by the New York Film Critics, who support the locals, and the Best Actress at the British Independent Film Festival, there is no victory, and everyone knows, including herself, that she is responsible for accompanying the Oscars this time.
Therefore, it is better for Meimei Lai to show her beauty in the interview area!
It's a pity that Shen Lin has nothing to do with her, and he can't see where the beauty is.
Therefore, he pulled Zhao Liying past her, ignored the request of the media reporter to pose for a photo, and walked straight towards the entrance of the Dolby Theater.
"Wouldn't that be too rude?" Zhao Liying looked back at Saoirse Ronan.
"Can we blame her for walking so slowly?"
"But..."
Zhao Liying turned her head to look at Saoirse Ronan again, and sighed in her heart, 'What a beautiful girl!'
However, she also knew that Saoirse Ronan was indeed walking too slowly, especially after entering the media shooting area, she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, so what did she do with the people behind her?
ā¦ā¦
The 88th Academy Awards, since the announcement of the shortlist, has attracted much attention from the outside world, the reason is simple, this list is too white!
Many people protested, including the Will Smiths and the famous director Spike Lee, who publicly refused to attend the awards ceremony, and even issued an open letter condemning the Acting Academy Taibai.
It's a fact that the Oscar Performing Arts Academy, commonly known as the Film Academy, has the vast majority of people at the top who are white, accounting for 94 percent!
Even O'Hei expressed his opinion in an interview in January, arguing that the entertainment industry should explore more talent and give everyone a chance: "The controversy caused by the Oscars is just one of the manifestations of this broader problem. Are we really making sure that everyone has a fair chance?"
It didn't work, and the academics firmly decided that there was nothing wrong with this list of nominees.
When the news spread to China, many netizens thought that black people were too glassy?
Blacks are also high-ranking people in the United States, and no one is shortlisted for the Oscars to be controversial? Asians are rarely nominated, why don't they see a huddle?
Even Shen Lin, who walked the red carpet and came to the interview area, was asked this question.
"Director Shen Lin, do you think that this year's nominee list is too white? Is it racism that there are no black people nominated?"
"Hehe, I think this view is ridiculous, black actors were not nominated this year, maybe because their films were not favored, just like the most mainstream Hollywood commercial blockbusters often complain that the Oscars don't pay enough attention to themselves, the Oscars have their own judging criteria!"
ā⦠What do you think of Carol's award?"
"This, I really don't know, anyway, I'm in a good mood, I'm happy to win the award or not!"
After coping with two sentences, Shen Lin pulled Li Ying into the front hall of the Dolby Theater.
I looked at it and there was no one I was particularly familiar with.
"Let's go to the main hall!"
ā¦ā¦
The main hall of the Dolby Theatre.
There were already a lot of people coming in, and Shen Lin quickly walked to the front row, and as a film nominated for four awards, the crew of "Carol" was assigned to a fairly high position.
"Why are you so slow? I remember that there was not much difference in our order. ā
Gong Li was chatting with Bill when he saw Shen Lin and stood up and said.
Shen Lin first asked Li Ying to sit down, and said to Gong Li for a long time: "I don't want to either, it's too ink to have an American Fan soldier!"
"Haha, American Fan Bingbing, you are really..."
Everyone knows that Gong Li looks down on the younger generation in various ways, and among them, the ones she is most worried about by her old people are Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing!
Zhang Ziyi is because of her personal temper, and Fan Bingbing is purely substandard in terms of business standards.
Shen Lin chatted while looking around, and in about half an hour, more crew members entered the main hall of the theater.
As the start of the awards ceremony drew nearer, the Dolby Theater gradually quieted down, and many people, including Shen Lin, turned their attention to the stage.
The whole stage was set up in an extraordinarily gorgeous manner, and the academy had obviously put a lot of thought into it.
Shen Lin looked at this stage, and suddenly had a lot of thoughts, and he didn't know when our Chinese films would be able to hold this type of award ceremony.
Film festivals and the like can be held casually, and even film genres that have been criticized by people can catch up, as long as you have the money, as long as the country relaxes restrictions.
But such an influential awards season, with more than half a century of accumulation, can it be achieved in just a few decades, and Chinese films have a long way to go!
At this time, the sound of music sounded from under the stage, and I felt that Zhao Liying beside me pulled herself, Shen Lin came back to her senses, and applauded with the warm applause that sounded in the theater.
Then, the host of this Oscar, black comedian Chris Rock, took the stage, and as expected, it led to the topic of 'Oscar is too white' that everyone cared about.
"I counted, and there were at least fifty black people in that short video!"
Presumably because he was too nervous, the jokes told by the comedy star were far from achieving the desired effect.
After the fifteen-minute talk show, Chris Rock announced the official start of the awards, starting with the introduction of the film, "The Martian", "Space Head", "Spotlight" and other eight nominated best film works were displayed in turn.
Shen Lin took out his mobile phone a little irritably and looked at the time.
It's been almost forty minutes!
It was at this time that JĀ· K. Simmons walked out.
"This is going to award the best supporting actress!" [.]
