Chapter 682: Nominated for the Oscars

Although Liu Shishi was a little complaining in her tone, Gu Xiaofan didn't know that she was actually comforting herself, for fear that her expectations would be too high, and she would be disappointed. [Full text reading]

But as soon as the voice fell, I heard the TV set: "The nominees for the best soundtrack of this year's Academy Awards are Alexander Despra for "Rejuvenation", A.R. Rahman for "Slumdog Millionaire", Thomas Newman for "Wall-E the Robot", James Newton Howard for "The Resistance" and ......"

Sidney Gannis paused before issuing an awkward Chinese pronunciation name: "And "The Undertaker"...... Tall, small, loose ......"

At this moment, everyone at the scene was stunned, even Gao Xiaosong, who was even the music producer of this movie, was stupid in place, and the lobster noodles in his hands were frozen in his mouth.

Everyone's eyes widened, and they all looked back at Gao Xiaosong, a musical talent, stunned with a fork and a lobster, pointing to his face: "Did you just say that I was shortlisted for the best soundtrack?" Is the Oscar's best soundtrack? ”

Gu Xiaofan walked over and pretended to be serious: "No, it's the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award." ”

Gao Xiaosong couldn't hear that he was joking, and turned his head again and again to ask everyone in a panic: "Is this an Oscar nomination announcement, or the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award?" ”

Gao Xiaosong's comical and deranged reaction made everyone in shock recover their senses, and all of them were very excited, and they laughed so much that their stomachs hurt, and everyone shouted: "Of course it's the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award~?" These two foreigners are both childcare hired by our film bureau. ”

"I ...... I...... I ......" Gao Xiaosong finally reacted at this time, holding the folding fan and fanning it hard, wanting to use some words to express his excitement, but he couldn't say anything.

"Oh my God, Xiaofan, isn't this really your prank on me?" Gao Xiaosong's fat face trembled for a while, watching everyone laugh, he couldn't help but hold a lobster and bite down on the shell together, and then exclaimed: "My God, this shell is so hard, I'm not dreaming~!" I'm shortlisted for the Oscars, I'm really shortlisted for the Oscars~"

Gao Xiaosong has been in Hollywood for so many years, and he hasn't made any serious movies, but he didn't expect to make a cameo with Gu Xiaofan and get into the Oscars.

"But this award shouldn't be given to me...... I ......" Gao Xiaosong hurriedly looked at Gu Xiaofan helplessly, he, the music producer, was just arranger, and the composer was Gu Xiaofan.

"Teacher Gao, you are confused, this is an announcement of the nomination, not an award." Gu Xiaofan was about to laugh so much that his stomach hurt, and he patted him on the shoulder: "Of course this project belongs to you, the music director, I am a music layman, and I am not qualified to participate." ”

Gu Xiaofan said this from the heart, in his heart, music is different from movies, movies are professional, even if the same script, the same role, the different skills of actors and directors will bring completely different performances to the work.

And music is composed of notes, his control of the melody can only be regarded as a layman, and it is still a professional musician like Gao Xiaosong who can really adjust the dubbing.

"Then I can go to the Oscars as a finalist?" Gao Xiaosong's face was full of excitement, and the fan in his hand was trembling.

At this time, before everyone was excited, they heard the name of "The Undertaker" on the TV again.

The finalists for Best Art Direction were James Murakami for "The Changeling", Donald Graham Burt for "Rejuvenation" and Christy Thea for "Revolutionary Road...... and "The Undertaker", Zhang, Uncle, Ping......"

At this moment, even Zhang Shuping, who was still very calm after losing the best costume director just now, finally showed a stunned expression, and stood up directly, he looked at Zhou Runfa next to him, Zhou Yanfa smiled at him and nodded: "It's you, Shuping." ”

Zhang Shuping breathed a sigh of relief and nodded again and again, his expression seemed to say, it's finally my turn, it's finally my turn......

The scene was ecstatic again, and everyone gathered around Zhang Shuping: "Teacher Zhang, this time is too powerful!" Nominated for Best Art Direction, this is the first time since Tim Yip. ”

"You can be shortlisted for this award without using ancient costume themes, Mr. Zhang, your artistic skills are really extraordinary."

Zhang Shuping was polite again and again, but he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, he followed Wong Kar-wai, I don't know how many art direction awards he has won in other places in the world, the Academy Awards, and the Golden Horse Awards, but he has never been shortlisted for the Oscars, but was first done by Tim Yip, who has a Yuliang plot......

When he heard the news, he went straight to the bathroom and smoked cigarettes for three hours before coming out, and today he finally solved this knot!

After everyone congratulated Zhang Shuping, they all looked at Gu Xiaofan at this time...... Each of them hopes that the last and most important award will be shortlisted, and as the creator of the film "The Undertaker", he is the one who deserves it.

At this time, after these two awards that were originally not hopeful were shortlisted, everyone was almost sure that "The Undertaker" would definitely be shortlisted for the best foreign language film, but they were really looking forward to the announcement of the news.

In front of the TV, all the Chinese viewers who watched the live broadcast also felt that their hearts were about to beat out.

This year's nominees for Best Foreign Language Film are: "Dancing with Bash", Israel, Hebrew - Ali Forman, "Badr and Meinhoff" Germany, German - Uli Eide, "Between the Walls" France, French - Lojon Conte,

Badr and Meinhoff (German, German - Uli Erder); "Revenge" Austria, German - Gertz Spearmann......"

Sidney Gannis paused again at this point, and everyone knew why he paused, and whenever he encountered a difficult Chinese pronunciation, he would pause:

"And ...... "The Undertaker" China, Chinese - Gu, Xiao, Fan~~"

At this moment, everyone in front of the grass curtain waved their fists and rushed over, coming directly to hug Gu Xiaofan one by one.

"Gu Xiaoqing~! We were selected~! "Director Gu Da~ I knew you could do it." "Congratulations, Director Gu." "It's just so exciting! Oh yes! It's so cool! ”

Compared with the previous technical awards shortlisted by Gao Xiaosong and Zhang Shuping, "The Undertaker" was shortlisted as a movie, which made everyone even more ecstatic, after all, everyone here is more or less involved in this movie, which means that all of them are recognized by the top American counterparts! I also got three nominations at once!

Gu Xiaofan accepted everyone's congratulations one by one with a smile, looked at Liu Shishi, whose eyes were red, and hugged her tightly, Liu Shishi said a little silently in his ear: "Gu Xiaoshu, I really hate myself now that I am only 22 years old, if I am a few years older, I can star in this movie with you." ”
