"The winner is Simon Bilfoy~~Slumdog Millionaire~"
This time the applause was obviously more enthusiastic than before, and Fox won two cities in a row, which made Warner a little nervous.
The audience was discussing: "It seems that the form of Warner is not good this time." "I'm just afraid that this time Fox has the advantage." "Warner can't do it."
But the good thing is that in the next best editing, "Rejuvenation" beat "Slumdog Millionaire" to win a city.
Then, "Rejuvenation" won the city in the Best Visual Effects award, and in the middle of the awards ceremony, the two favorites won two little golden statuettes respectively, and they were evenly divided.
Then in the two films, they were shortlisted for "Best Makeup" and "Best Song" respectively, and won six awards in a row.
This made the atmosphere of the scene white-hot! Everyone is exclaiming, wow, these two movies are biting so hard.
This made the other filmmakers at the scene feel a little hopeless, as if as long as these two films were shortlisted for the awards, everyone else would become accompanied, not "Rejuvenation...... It's Slumdog Millionaire......
Warner in front of the TV, and the executives of Fox were also very nervous, and Abel Warner's palms in front of the TV were sweating, and his eyes were glued to the screen.
And at this time, it is the most critical moment, and the next two awards are two favorites, which are the best art direction and the best soundtrack.
In the end, Best Director and Best Picture, if it is customary, the two favorites should share an award each, that is, Best Art and Best Score, two heavy technical awards, are likely to determine the outcome of the two.
On the domestic Internet, many netizens who don't care much about other movies are chatting and farting on the screen, and when they heard that the best soundtrack was going to be awarded, they all sat down to themselves.
"It's started, it's started~~ Don't swipe the screen~ It's the turn of "The Undertaker"~"
"The best soundtrack."
"It's finally Gu Xiaofan's turn to make a movie."
At the scene of the Oscar ceremony, Zac Efron, a handsome student who was the guest of honor, took the stage and caused a burst of screams from the audience.
And at this moment, in front of Shangying, Yanying, and thousands of Chinese TVs and computer screens, there are countless Chinese who are nervously watching this scene, and everyone expects "The Undertaker" to win a little golden man, and it is also the first Oscar in the history of mainland films (although "Children of Yingzhou" won the best short film before, the director Yang Ziye is Chinese-American and is not included in the mainland list. )
In the audience, Gu Xiaofan also pursed his lips, slightly nervous, although he always thought that he would not be nervous, but when it was really his turn, he immediately felt a little difficult to breathe, as if something was pressing on his chest.
He couldn't help but think the worst in his heart, if "The Undertaker" didn't get anything this time, would he have a way to find another equally excellent theme to impact the best foreign language film? Is this Osaka curse, he will be like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, and he will not be able to break it for the rest of his life?
At this time, Gu Xiaofan, who was a little inexplicably worried, suddenly felt a gentle and delicate little hand next to him holding the back of his hand, and turned his head to see Liu Shishi's delicate face next to him, with a very grinning expression:
"Don't worry, we won't win the award this time, let's come again next time, there are some 4 or 50-year-old guys next to us, we are so young, we can sit here every year for the next 20 years, and we are afraid that we will not be able to take this little golden man?"
When Gu Xiaofan heard this, he couldn't help but sweep away the worry in his heart, and said with a smile: "20 years? I can't wait 20 years to marry Sister Shi~"
"Just blow it." Liu Shishi didn't refute this time, but just squeezed his hand tightly.
At this time, Zach Efron, the handsome little guy on the stage, had already begun to speak, and he said affectionately:
"Cinema brings entertainment, it brings hope, it also brings theater art into our lives, it leads us to places we have never seen before, even if it is only for a moment, when you want to leave, it will take you away......
In the past 81 years, there has been a huge number of films produced around the world, and then, the Oscars have only awarded the highest artistic honor to 80 works, 80 most artistic films, the best films, the films that best represent the recent 'art' in the minds of filmmakers, and tonight, we have a new film that has won this honor. ”
At this time, the big screen began to play the clips of the "Best Art Direction Film" of each year, and everyone saw a lot of familiar classics, when the screen was attributed to the Oscar logo, the venue suddenly burst into thunderous applause, and Zac Efron began to switch with the screen, reading out the list of nominees:
"Donald Graham Porter in "Rejuvenation", Bill Quintiles in "Slumdog Millionaire", James Murakami in "Strange Changeling", Christy Thea in "Revolutionary Road...... Zhang Shuping in "The Undertaker."
At this time, the close-up shots were given to the crew of "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Rejuvenation", except for China, fans all over the world are paying attention to this showdown between the two powers, who will win the battle of Tianwang Mountain?
Due to the invincibility of these two films so far, they have won any of the awards that these two films have been shortlisted for, and everyone doesn't care about the other inductees at all.
So the camera swept over the crew of "The Undertaker", and it didn't stay for more than half a second at all, and no one cared.
And at this time, when Zac Efron had finished reading, he began to open the envelope slowly, and in the silence he saw the result, and seemed to be a little surprised, and then he raised his head and read in a very lame pronunciation:
""The Undertaker" Zhang Shuping ......"
When this name was pronounced unexpectedly, the audience was instantly silent, no one applauded, and everyone was stunned for two seconds.
Not "Rejuvenation", not "Slumdog Millionaire"? But a third party? Or a Chinese mainland movie?
How is this possible? How can there be a film that beats these two masterpieces of art in a single category?
After a while, there was scattered applause at the scene, Zhang Shuping stood up with a face full of disbelief, turned his head to look at Gu Xiaofan, Gu Xiaofan had already raised his fist high, and Gao Yuanyuan screamed directly: "Teacher Zhang!" You've won a prize! You have an Oscar, we have an Oscar~! ”
The crew of "The Undertaker" cheered and celebrated their first award.
At that moment, the hearts of filmmakers all over China were extremely shocked, everyone clenched their fists tightly, waving and roaring!
Towering in front of mainland filmmakers, the unattainable wall finally collapsed...... The lights of the pinnacle stage of the world's cinema finally shine in......
This is also the first Oscar statuette in mainland films~~! This great moment has finally arrived!
