The group of Good Dreams Company came to the venue of the Oscars, the sacred auditorium of Hollywood.
Lin Zixuan and the actors walked the red carpet separately, Chen Daoming, Yu Feihong and Xu Jinglei together, the actors need exposure, which is a requirement of clothing brand manufacturers.
The dresses worn by the three of them were sponsored by major international brands, and the sponsors hoped that the actors would be noticed on the red carpet at the Oscars and expand the brand's reach.
A red carpet show is also a fashion show.
Every year in the Oscars, Los Angeles is busiest in the apparel and rental car industries.
Dozens of stretched Cadillacs lined up outside the theater in a spectacular sight.
Lin Zixuan, Yu Dong and others walked across the red carpet and saw the domestic reporters, so they stepped forward to say hello.
"Mr. Lin, how are you feeling now?" the reporter asked.
"It's okay, it's our first time at the Oscars, so let's explore the way and see what we know. Lin Zixuan responded.
"What does Mr. Lin mean that he will come often in the future?" the reporter asked.
"You, give me an ambush again. Lin Zixuan smiled, "The domestic film industry is getting better and better, and there will definitely be opportunities in the future." ”
Entering the venue, they sat down in their seats and waited for the award ceremony to take place.
As Lin Zixuan said, he came to see and join in the fun, and his mind was more relaxed.
At the same time, it is also a little complicated, the influence of the Oscar cannot be ignored, the award has face and is valued, but it is a foreign award after all, so I don't think it's interesting.
In China, the live webcast of the Oscars has long begun.
Presenters and experts predict the list of winners and chat about the shortlisted films, especially "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
"Professor Zheng, what is the difference between "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and ordinary martial arts films?" the host said curiously.
"It's too big a question to say. Generally, the martial arts films in our impression are more explained in the meaning of martial arts, such as loyalty and rape, good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, or the development of martial arts itself, genres, and master-apprentice relationships, and more has been done in this field. Zheng Dongtian explained.
"This film martial arts is a carrier, as well as love. The triangular relationship between Chen Daoming, Yu Feihong and Xu Jinglei is not very accustomed to in China, Chen Daoming's lifelong swordsmanship has not found an apprentice, and when he looks at Xu Jinglei, although she was on his hostile side at the time, he immediately decided that I was going to pass it on to her, so there is room for fighting, this kind of thing is not liked by domestic people, and Westerners understand it at a glance. This is a set, the director's focus is different, and we feel that it is not in the mainstream and is very non-standard if we ask for it according to the authentic martial arts culture. Zheng Dongtian continued.
"Xu Ke has made a lot of martial arts films, what do you think of Xu Ke's movies?" asked a netizen.
"Xu Ke is very important to the continuation of martial arts films, if it weren't for him, our martial arts films might have been cut off, of course, his original intention may be to seek a way out of Xiangjiang films, after ten years of hard work, this type of film has risen again, and even has a certain inspiration for Li Huan and others. Zheng Dongtian commented.
But his films have become more and more commercial, and he is not the kind of exploration of martial arts culture itself. Xu Ke has very funny films, and some are more connotative, his characteristic is that he is always exploring new ways or new ways of expression, which provides a lot of inspiration to others, which is Xu Ke's advantage. Zheng Dongtian said.
The Oscars kicked off with a star-studded scene.
Li Yu attended with his wife and two children.
They have lived in the United States for many years and have long been accustomed to a Westernized lifestyle, and the demand for him to win the best director this time is very high.
Li won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and the Directors Guild of America Award for Best Director.
It is difficult to win the Directors Guild of America Award for Best Director, voted by internal members, and they are basically directors from the United States, because the younger generation of directors support Li Yu, so he won the award.
With this award, Li Yu has the confidence to fight for the Oscar for Best Director.
For the Oscars, he spent almost a year running publicity, canvassing for votes, competing with other popular Oscar directors, entering this circle, and if he wants to win awards, he has to work hard, say different things to the media, and deal with the audience and judges.
The first award for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was Best Art Direction.
There is little competition for this award, costumes, styling, makeup, hairstyle, props and sets all belong to the art department, and the art director is responsible for the overall planning.
This is different from the Hollywood and Chinese film circles.
Hollywood has a very detailed division of labor, and each department of art has its own duties, and there is no one who is dominant, and usually a person does not necessarily have so much talent and understands everything.
The Chinese film industry does not pay much attention to the division of labor, and if you want to be valued in the crew, you must know a little bit about everything, and you can do it in any position.
The Oscar's Best Art Direction is a judgment on the overall artistic style of the film.
The second award for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was Best Cinematography.
Although it is only two small awards, the domestic Internet has become lively.
"We got the latest news that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon won the second award, which is the best cinematography award, did you predict this award?" the host excited.
"I didn't predict it, I think this award should be because of the exoticism, whether it is martial arts on the bamboo tops, or the desert scenery, to a large extent, it is stained with the light of the domestic landscape. But then again, it's also a lot of kung fu, and it's very capable of shooting the bamboo forest like that. Zheng Dongtian affirmed.
"The audience often can't tell which ones are made by the computer and which ones are actually filmed, so there is no way to strictly subdivide them. Many of the brilliant pictures in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are computer-synthesized, including some stunt methods and wire ropes hanging from the bamboo forest, and finally Xu Jinglei fell from Wudang Mountain, the big waterfall has nothing to do with photography, it was made by the computer, but it is good to win the award. Zheng Dongtian added.
When "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the best foreign language film, everyone was a little excited, after all, it was the first time that a Chinese film won this award.
Li Yu took the stage as a representative to accept the award.
"When it comes to the status of the Oscars in the world, the most important ones in our profession are the three film festivals, Cannes, Venice and Berlin, which represent artistic standards. In the first two or three decades of the Oscar foreign language films, it was basically the best foreign language film among the three awards, and the probability was very high, but in the past ten years, there have been great changes, on the one hand, the three film festivals have begun to move closer to commerce, and on the other hand, Americans have a prejudice against European films and art films, or a habitual force. Zheng Dongtian explained.
That night was first prosperous and then declining, and Li Yu did not win the Best Director Award in the end.
