The 79th Oscar nominations were announced, and it is definitely a grand event that the world has watched for a while.

"Inception", as the second highest box office of the year last year, is also the film with the highest IMDB rating among the many nominated films, so it is naturally highly anticipated. And whether this movie can be shortlisted is also a lot of highlights:

One is the identity of a science fiction movie. As we all know, since the inception of the Oscars, there has never been a science fiction film that has won the best picture. But this time, the praise rate of "Inception" even exceeds that of many literary films, will the Oscars make an exception because of this?

And in this movie, Hu Yifei, as the director, screenwriter, and starring actor, is likely to be nominated for nomination. So as a young man who is only 23 years old and still a foreigner, will he break the Oscar record for the youngest foreigner to win the award? It is also one of the hot topics of public discussion.

Especially as Hu Yifei's first film shortlisted for the Oscars, even if it is not a Chinese film, it has also made many Chinese audiences care about this Oscar.

At this moment, it is already 8 o'clock in the evening in the United States, and it is still noon in China.

I don't know how many netizens are on the computer, waiting for the Oscar nominations to be announced. The huge LCD TV of the family film company is playing American TV throughout the whole time, and Han Mi is looking for someone to "climb over the wall" to set up satellite signals, and he wants to be able to watch tonight's American TV program in the company.

"Will Hu Yifei become the second Chinese director to win the Oscar after Ang Lee?"

This is something that everyone is looking forward to and concerned about.

Nominations for one award after another were announced on television, and the nominees alternately announced: "Best Cinematography "Inception" Valré Pfister ......"

In Chicago's Hu Yifei's room, there was a sudden whistle.

Sitting in the back with a nervous face, Valey Pfister seemed to froze until someone pushed him on the shoulder, "It's incredible that I was nominated for an Oscar for Best Cinematography." ”

Seeing that Hu Yifei was looking at him, he immediately gave a thumbs up, obviously excited.

Not only that, technical awards such as Best Sound Effects, Best Sound Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Art Direction, and Best Original Score have all been nominated one after another. Hu Yifei's seemingly large living room in the presidential suite also began to become crowded. Everyone gathered to care about tonight's Oscar nominations being announced.

The most critical individual award, Best Original Screenplay, was nominated together with "Little Sunshine Beauty", "Babel", "The Queen", "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Inception" Hu Yifei.

Hu Yifei's first personal Oscar shortlisted award finally did not fail.

The living room suddenly cheered and slapped, and before he knew it, many people had walked into his living room.

And most of the people in the crew of "The Dark Knight" are members of the original "Inception" crew, although they are now working on a new play, they are still very concerned about whether "Inception" can win awards. People who are not part of the crew of "Inception" are naturally envious when they see others being nominated repeatedly.

Kate Beckinsale applauded: "Congratulations to Galen, another nomination. ”

Hu Yifei smiled, "Thank you...... It's just a nomination, there's nothing to be excited about, you see Bale is very calm. ”

Christian Bale was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I'm not calm, when I was nominated, I didn't sleep well all night." Galen, you're going to feel that way soon. ”

Hu Yifei shook his head and said, "No, I will sleep very peacefully." ”

"Hey, stop bragging, it's too early to say this."

Hu Yifei smiled, noncommittal, and continued to watch TV. In private, I calculated it myself, although they are all technical awards, but they are also little golden people. "Inception" has won six nominations so far, which is the most nominated film so far, will there be more?

Charles Rowan said with an experienced expression: "This year is the year of the Oscars, there is a high possibility that "Inception" will win the award, and there will be more nominations in the future, believe my prediction ......" he said with a heartfelt voice.

Hu Yifei shook his head and smiled, "You missed a Martin Scorsese." ”

Charles Rowing paused, "yes, this year's Martin is too advantageous, maybe he will be the big winner." But you don't lose either, Galen. ”

"I'll lend you good luck." He answered and ignored his prophecy.

After a few more minutes, he finally began to enter the play.

“…… The nominees for Best Actor at the 79th Osaka are: Leonardo DiCaprio's "Blood Diamond", Ryan Gosling's "Half Nelson", Peter O'Tool's "The Last Eros", and Forrest Whitaker's "The Last Dictatorship...... and Will Smith, "When Happiness Knocks." ”

"Oh~~" There was a sudden deflated sound in the room.

Hu Yifei was very calm, picked up his mobile phone, and called Will Smith, but he was unexpectedly busy, and it was natural to think about it. sent a text message to congratulate him, which can be regarded as a cooperation, and his $3 million public relations expenses were not spent in vain.

After the nomination was announced on TV, it immediately caused a violent reaction in the outside world.

Although it is a little regrettable that Hu Yifei was not nominated, it is undoubtedly a happy thing that Will Smith was nominated. Will Smith's home has long been a lively scene of a grand party.

It's just that this matter is quite cold in the Chinese family film company.

No matter how famous Will Smith is, after all, it is not as personal as Hu Yifei. Seeing that the more rankings are revealed, the less remains, and many people are starting to worry.

Master Liu asked Tang Yan next to him and said, "It won't be gone." ”

Tang Yan shook his head, "There should be no best picture and best director that have not been announced." I don't know if it's a foreign language film, but if it does, "Inception" is very likely to win the award. Baby shook his head depressedly on the side, "It's impossible, "Inception" is not a foreign language film of the newspaper, and the opportunities are getting fewer and fewer." Tang Yan said: "You can be content, acting in the first movie is a blockbuster of this level." She was envious in her heart, and suddenly Hu Yifei once asked her to learn Indian dance, but she forgot when she was busy, whether she wanted to start practicing.

I suddenly made up my mind.

However, people who care about whether Hu Yifei can be nominated for Best Director are anxious, gloating, rejoicing, and longing. But soon, this mood was immediately released:

“…… Nominated for Best Director at the 79th Academy Awards in 2007, Martin Scorsese ("The Departed") ......"

Many Xiangjiang people and Chinese who saw this result had strange faces. Martin's adaptation of the classic Hong Kong film "Infernal Affairs" seems to Chinese audiences to be a completely plagiarized version of a translated version. There are not many innovations and changes to the camera, at most, the elegance and restraint of Chinese police and thieves have been turned into B-grade films full of "Fuck". Didn't expect to be nominated for so many Oscars?

This is something that no one can accept.

It's just that if Martin Scorsese hadn't made this movie, it is estimated that there would not have been so many nominations. Who told Oscar to owe him a statuette?

The award ceremony went on to announce that "the nominees are...... Agado Gonzalez Iñárritu's Babel, Clint Eastwood's Letter from Iwo Jima, Stephen Fryers' The Queen, Galen Hu Yifei's Inception! ”

When the last name was revealed, Hu Yifei's living room in the presidential suite suddenly set off a frenzy of celebration.

When the final Best Picture nominations were announced, and "Inception" was suddenly listed, the atmosphere of the small launch scene in the living room finally reached a climax.

“yes！”

Hu Yifei said softly and exhaled. Then he said loudly: "Everyone, how about having a drink together tonight, it's all mine." ”

The room was full of people shouting hooray, and they had already begun to celebrate, thinking that tonight must be a sleepless night.

There was warm applause and cheers at the scene, and the assistant director Reggie Minoan was excited and hugged Hu Yifei.

Hu Yifei thought that he would not be excited, but he didn't expect that he would be infected by a group of people around him when the matter came, and he became excited. hugged his old partner Reggie, Vare and others, and accepted everyone's congratulations.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this year's Oscars are obviously giving Martin Scorsese the green light.

Charles clapped his hands, but couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "It's a pity, there is one more Martin Scorsese." ”

Hu Yifei smiled: "It doesn't matter, as far as I'm concerned, as long as the nomination is enough." ”

Kate Beckinsale looked at him adoringly, hugged him warmly, and said: "It's already amazing, how many people can be nominated for the Oscar for Best Director at the age of 23?" ”

"That's right." Hu Yifei couldn't help but be a little excited, his hands increased a little harder, hugged the person in his arms tighter, and then felt Kate's little hand gently caress his back.

"Ding Ling Ding Ling ~ Ding Ling Ding Ling ~ Ding Ling Ding Ling ~"

Hu Yifei and Kate were hugging each other, and their phones rang. He let go of Kate and took a step back, seeing that Kate's hair was a little messy and her cheeks were red. couldn't help but look a little strange, retracted his gaze, took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it was baby.

I walked to the edge of the balcony with my mobile phone, connected it, put it to my ear, and the enthusiastic voice on the other side came out of the earpiece.

"Phineas, congratulations, congratulations on getting so many Oscar nominations! The company is all excited, am I the first to make a call? ”

Hu Yifei walked up to the balcony, leaned against the window, looked at the colorful lights of Chicago at night, and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, you are the first." Little baby, do you miss Phineas? ”

"I thought about it. Think about it, Brother Fei, hurry up and finish the filming, so that you can come back and see me. At the end, he added a sentence, "Sister Zhao'er misses you too." ”

“…… Good! (To be continued.) )
