Chapter 407: Best Foreign Language Film (Part II)
The struggle of Chinese filmmakers in Hollywood has never stopped, and similarly, the pace of Chinese mainland filmmakers to hit the Oscars has also started very early, dating back to the 90s of the last century, as for later, although the pace has not stopped, it seems to be much slower. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of the seven Chinese films nominated for the Oscar for Foreign Language Films, 5 were pre-millennium, only two after the millennium, and none after 2010!
I must say that there are any Chinese films after 2010 that have something to do with the Oscars, and it is estimated that "The Grandmaster" won the nominations for Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design.
As for the Chinese related to it, only Mu Zili won the second Oscar for Best Director with "Young P", and Chen Gangsheng won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award.
In addition, it seems that Chinese filmmakers have lost contact with the Oscars, although the Chinese film market is developing explosively every year, although Hollywood blockbusters and Oscar-winning films are galloping in the Chinese market every year, although so many Chinese capital has entered Hollywood and entered the Oscars, there is still no shadow of Chinese Chinese in the Oscars.
It's really not that there are no Chinese filmmakers who are entering Hollywood and are attacking the Oscars, but, I don't know why, it just doesn't work.
Take the national teacher as an example, since 1991 has formed an indissoluble bond with the Oscar, so far, almost 30 years, has been fighting for an Oscar, it can be described as a demon, however, the harder you work, the farther away. Among them, how can it be clearly explained that there have been several box office fiascos!
"Sword Venerable", it is not an exaggeration to describe it as being born out of nowhere.
It was born out of nowhere at the box office, and it was also born out of nowhere in terms of word of mouth, not only in the Chinese market, but also in the global box office and word of mouth.
"Sword Honor" was nominated for the Oscar with 7 nominations, and it is the one who came out of nowhere, and for many Chinese filmmakers, it can be described as hope!
As a result, it naturally lived up to everyone's expectations, and has won the Best Original Score and the Best Adapted Screenplay, which is already the first film in the Chinese mainland to win the Oscar!
As for whether "Sword Honor" can become the second Chinese-language film to win the Best Foreign Language Film Award, and whether it can become the first mainland Chinese film to win the award, all the answers are in the envelopes in the hands of the two award presenters who just came to the stage!
The guest for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film this time is a combination of a famous director and a famous actress, this director is none other than the Chinese director Mu Zi'an, who has won the Best Foreign Language Film Award and two Best Director, and the actress is Anne Hathaway, who has worked with Mu Zi'an in "Brokeback Mountain".
Annie: "Wow! Time is so fast, I remember working with Mr. Mu on "Brokeback Mountain" for fifteen years, right? Fifteen years is fast, twenty years is also very fast, Mr. Mu is the best foreign language film twenty years ago, right?"
Mu Zi'an nodded.
Annie: "Mr. Mu, there is a Chinese movie in the nomination this time, have you seen it?"
Mu Zi'an: "I've seen it, and I've seen it more than once." Without a doubt, this is the best Chinese movie I've seen in recent years. Personally, I really like that this film won the award. ”
Anne smiled and asked, "Then when you learned that you would be the guest of honor for this award, did you think that this could be a sign that the Chinese film "Sword Honor" would win the award?"
Mu Zi'an spread his hands: "You also know that at the time of the invitation, the voting for the award had not finally stopped. As for inviting me to present the award, I hope it's a good wish for Sword Venerable!"
Anne laughed, too, and according to the regulations, they naturally didn't know what the list in the envelope was at this time, she signaled for the lottery, opened the envelope, and took out the list of winners from it, and her eyes lit up after reading it: "The winner of the Best Foreign Language Film Award is ......."
Then handed the list to Mu Zi'an, Mu Zi'an looked at it, laughed, and read out the final answer: "Sword Venerable!"
Mu Zi'an's speech was directly in Chinese, and then he added an English translation of the title.
When he heard the word "Sword Zun" in Chinese, Hou Muyun's side had already exploded, and everyone stood up, and even Hou Muyun couldn't hide his excitement.
And when the English translation came out, the audience naturally looked at Hou Muyun, and gave warm applause, four little golden figures have been won in front, plus this one, so far, Hou Muyun leads the entire Oscar with 5 little golden figures!
Although at this time, the four most important awards for Best Actor and Actress, Best Director and Best Picture have not yet been awarded, but the scene has set off the biggest Gao Dynasty so far, and for Chinese fans, this time is the biggest Gao Dynasty, what Best Actor and Actress, Best Director and Best Picture have nothing to do with them, in their opinion, the Oscars are enough here, enough for them to carnival!
The Chinese fans who watched the live broadcast watched and Hou Muyun stood up from his position and hugged L.O., Zhang Ziyi, Chen Daoming and others one by one, and then shook hands with the stars they met along the way, and finally on the stage, they saw Hou Muyun and Mu Zi'an standing face to face, and saw Hou Muyun receiving the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film from Mu Zi'an.
Although everyone knows that Hou Muyun and Mu Zi'an actually have no relationship with half a dime, and they have never met at all before this, in the eyes of the Chinese people who attach great importance to inheritance, this is inheritance!
One is the most successful Chinese director, and the other is the most likely to be more successful!
"Hold the grass and hastily! This picture is classic!"
"The Oscars are so interesting this time, not to mention awarding the Best Foreign Language Film Award to "Sword Honor", but also specially invited Mu Zi'an to present the award to Hou Muyun, which is also too intimate!"
"One is the first Chinese film director to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and the other is the second Chinese film director to win the award, both of whom are the light of the Chinese!"
"There are too many beautiful meanings for Mu Zi'an to give Hou Muyun an award! I really hope that Hou Muyun can also win the best director after winning the best foreign language film award, and even win the best film that even Mu Zi'an has never won!"
"Not to mention, if there is anyone among the Chinese directors who is likely to catch up with and surpass Mu Zi'an, it is really only Hou Muyun!"
"Hahahaha In terms of the number of Oscar statuettes alone, the 5 monkeys have surpassed Mu Zi'an's 3!"
“…….”
Hou Muyun took the stage to take over the little golden man from Mu Zi'an, compared with the previous four awards, this time Hou Muyun was a lot more excited, one is related to the award, and the other is really related to the presenter in front of him. The three words Mu Zi'an are definitely god-like existences for Chinese filmmakers, including Hou Muyun, a half-baked filmmaker, not to mention worshipping as a god, at least respecting from the bottom of my heart.
Being able to take over the little golden man from him, Hou Muyun was very excited and very happy.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Hou Muyun shook hands with Mu Zi'an while thanking him, and then naturally did not miss the hug with the goddess Anne, to be honest, there are not many actresses in Hollywood who can make Hou Muyun show a fan brother, Anne Hathaway is definitely one!
