Chapter 186: Actually, I Want Him to Return Empty-Handed (Part II)
The red carpet is actually a show, a place for many celebrities to show their charm. Especially female celebrities see it as a battlefield.
Zhang Le's suggestion to wear Tang costumes is actually a personal preference. What kind of clothes that are out of the style of Chinese people, it is simply the excuse he made for himself.
He doesn't like to wear suits. Of course, the main thing in the correction is that he doesn't want Yang Xin'er to wear any dress.
Those so-called dresses, the mouth is too low.
Zhang Le is not a too conservative person, and it does not prevent Yang Xin'er from showing that she is sexy, in "Mr. and Mrs. Zhang", Yang Xin'er has shown her sexy. But sometimes sexiness doesn't need to be shown by "dew".
As for those female stars who attract attention with exposure on the red carpet, Zhang Le does not despise them, but he doesn't want Yang Xin'er to be like this.
On the red carpet in China, with Yang Xin'er's current popularity, there is no need for this at all. But when she arrived on the red carpet of the Oscars, there were a few people who knew who she was and who paid attention to her.
However, Zhang Le didn't want Yang Xin'er to become a dispensable passer-by and play a handful of soy sauce on the red carpet. So I had the idea of wearing a Tang costume to win by surprise, but I didn't have high expectations. However, the results seem to be surprisingly good.
Recognition in Hollywood isn't something you can do on the red carpet. You also need to have a convincing enough work.
A "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" obviously can't do it, at most it will just let Hollywood know you. There is a difference between recognition and recognition, but there is a world of difference.
"I didn't expect this film to come to this point." Li Jie said with some sighs. When he first took over this film, he was just optimistic, but he didn't expect this film to be so powerful. not only made him win the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor and successfully crowned the emperor, but also won so many nominations at the Oscars. Although there is no nomination for Best Actor, as the leading actor of this film, it still attracts attention.
As soon as the list of nominees came out, Li Jie was silent for a long time after reading it. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was shocked. His evaluation of Zhang Le, a young director, has improved a lot.
Being young is his greatest potential.
"No one thought of it." Zhang Le smiled and said.
"Why did I feel that Director Zhang was shooting this film for the Oscars from the beginning?" Bao Zhen said with a smile.
"I feel that way, too." Ye Ming also smiled.
Both of them are independent filmmakers and often work with big directors. When Zhang Le invited them, he was still skeptical about Zhang Le's directing skills. If it weren't for Zhang Le's sincerity and the persuasion of a few old friends, it is estimated that he would not have taken this film.
At this time, the two of them were obviously not happy. This film has brought them more accolades than any other film they have ever made. At least nominated for an Oscar, they are the first time. It is the first time that the entire Chinese film industry is in the same category.
"Am I that good?" Zhang Le smiled. Said. He filmed this film and went to various awards, who let him be stimulated to go back empty-handed after winning a Golden Dragon Award.
At the beginning of the awards ceremony, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", as the most watched foreign language film, still attracted a lot of attention to the place where their crew was located.
And no one thought that what made "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" get off to a good start was actually the best art director, an award that was nominated at the Golden Dragon Award but did not win. This is the east is not lit, the west is lit up.
Ye Ming won the award, but he himself was stunned, and then showed an excited look. I didn't think of it, he really didn't think of it. He thought he was just like the Golden Dragon Award and a passerby.
Unexpectedly, he actually became the first Chinese filmmaker to win the Oscar.
This reminded him of the first sentence in "Zhang Le's Quotations": Happiness came too suddenly!
However, he was nominated for Best Costume Design and did not win again. Playing a second in a row, but he was already very satisfied.
The miss of the best costume design did not bring the slightest frustration to the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", because Bao Zhen won the best cinematography award again. With this film. Bao Zhen won three heavyweight awards at home and abroad, which can be regarded as a constant surprise.
Zhang Le failed to win the Best Original Movie Song, but the Best Film Score that followed was firmly in his hands.
"In the country. The first film award I won was also for music, and I didn't expect it to be the same at the Oscars, as a director. I'm also drunk. I am grateful to the jury for awarding me this best film score. At least it proves that one day I can't make movies and can play music. Zhang Le smiled and said to the audience in extremely fluent English.
The crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" listened to Zhang Le's words and all smiled. And the Chinese audience in front of the TV listened to it and laughed.
Is this album showing off his musical talent?
Foreign stars who don't know the inside story just smile politely and give applause. But they are also a little surprised, a director can play music to this extent, which is also admirable.
Best Original Screenplay Award, Zhang Le did not win. Best cut, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also didn't win.
"The winner of the best foreign language film was: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", a film from China! Congratulations! ”
"Go up, this glory is yours." Yang Xin'er said with a smile.
Zhang Le looked at Yang Xin'er and smiled, without pretentious politeness. He and Yang Xin'er don't need to be like this. Since Yang Xin'er said so, if he refused, he would be a little disappointed by her kindness.
No one will think that there is anything wrong with Zhang Le coming to the stage to accept this award. This film was born because of him.
"Thank you to the jury for awarding this award for Best Non-English Film to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Thank you to the friends who liked this movie, to the friends who supported this film, to all the staff of the crew, and to the actors who brought wonderful performances to this film. Thank myself as well. I am most grateful to my girlfriend and Yang Xin'er, who is also the actor of this movie Jade Jiaolong, I love you! ”
Winning the Best Foreign Language Film award, the Oscar journey of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been won. As for Best Director and Best Picture, no one, including Zhang Le, would think that the Oscar jury would be so generous.
With a foreign language film that can win Best Director and Best Picture, it is estimated that it will not appear at the Oscars. Compared with Cannes, the Oscars have a strong commercial atmosphere and will take their own interests into account.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won four awards, including the heavier award of Best Foreign Language Film, which can be regarded as making Chinese films show their faces in the world.
After the award ceremony, Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er were interviewed by several North American media to promote the new film "Mr. and Mrs. Zhang". Then he declined Li Jie's invitation to play for a few days and returned to China directly.
However, Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er did not return to Yanjing with the crew, but flew directly to Xiangjiang.
And they didn't expect that a post about Zhang Le and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" exploded on the Internet. The post is called: Actually, I want him to come back empty-handed. (To be continued......)
