Chapter 230: He's got the award, wow! (900 votes)
"...... nominated for an Oscar for Best Director"
Steven Soderbergh is nominated twice for "Drug Network", Stephen Dudley is nominated for "Out of My World/Dancing Life", Lee is nominated twice for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Ridley Scott is nominated twice for "Gladiator", and Christmas Chan is nominated twice for "Infernal Affairs"!
Even Stephen is a model of contemporary art film, an absolute powerhouse, and an award-winning professional. Not to mention the veteran powerhouse Ridley Scott, as a director who has made classic films such as "The Opposite Sex" and "Crazy Flowers of the End", he has a "Black Hawk Down" that will be released this year, and the competitiveness is definitely not to be underestimated.
There is not a single wonderful picture on the big screen, it is all applause like a wave, wave after wave, one after another.
After the five highlights were played, six grids were divided on the big screen, which were the images of Chen Tiandu's five people and the images of the award presenters. Four of them were all smiling seriously, and only one scene was more joyful.
Because Chen Tiandu had just come back from the backstage, he was talking to each other, and there was a congratulatory voice all around. In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that winning the best foreign language film is a little golden man, Christmas Chen is satisfied, and the yellow-skinned people around him don't seem to have any thoughts about this best director award.
Also, a 26-year-old best director, still a Chinese, thinks it's incredible.
The only surprise is that this 26-year-old young man has been nominated for Best Director for the second time. But there are still not many people who think he deserves this award, and perhaps more like Soderbergh, who will have a little more hope of waiting for another 11 years later. Wait until you are in your thirties and forties, and then get the award. After all, he was only 26 years old.
In fact, the Oscars went crazy once, and that was in 1991 when John Singleton won "Block Boys". At the age of 24 years and 44 days, he won the Best Director Little Golden Man, setting a record for the youngest director.
Singleton was nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for this film, becoming the youngest director to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director at that time. Once considered by the media to be another representative of the future black director. But after so many years, it turns out that Oscar is indeed crazy, and his later films have not been praised by audiences and critics. Much of the plot of "Block Boy" that made him famous is his own personal experience in South Central Los Angeles, thanks to his childhood history of his parents leaving him running around the streets alone.
"Genius", this title is not for everyone.
Examples of "genius degenerates", "short-lived". It's a little bit more in Hollywood.
Soderbergh was a genius 11 years ago, and he spent 11 years trying to return to the Oscars. If the Oscars have another 26-year-old best director this year, it will be a ...... It's incredible to think about.
Stallone, who was sitting in the villa watching TV, also took a sip of wine and commented to his daughters: "It's impossible for Christmas Chen to win the prize, he's just a yellow-skinned monkey who is praised high." It's a pity that his daughter disagrees with him, "No, I think Christmas Chan might win the prize, and the odds are high." Stallone shook his head helplessly. It's not news that he is unhappy with Chen Tian, but can he yell at his daughter? Asking his daughter to hate others like him? Obviously impossible, he can only be depressed alone.
Nicolas Cage, who was sitting at the scene, also shook his head lightly when he played the highlights of "Infernal Affairs". Obviously, I don't recognize this director who is also yellow-skinned. Among the Chinese directors, the only one he admires is Wu Yusen, and he has promised to star in his new film "Wind Whisperer". Now another Chinese director has stolen the limelight from John Woo. Naturally, he would be a little nostalgic.
Of course, there are also some people who harbor racial discrimination in their hearts, and they are always frowning. They want whites to get it, not Chinese. No matter what Chen Tian did, they always had that trace of contempt, disdain, and jealousy.
In fact, it doesn't matter if they like it or not. Chen Tiandu didn't care at all.
No desire, so no demand, let it be.
And the people around him didn't care too much, maybe it was the inferiority complex of Chinese movies in front of Hollywood, so that the other people who came with him didn't care too much, maybe they thought that Chen Tiandu couldn't win the award at all. Although they all think that "Infernal Affairs" is the pinnacle of police and gangster films that they haven't seen for many years, comparable to "The Godfather".
"Seriously, my dear, the awards are about to begin." Kate cares a lot. She has always cared about it, especially this Best Director Award, she clearly remembers when Chen Tiandu was joking, but she often regarded herself as the Oscar Best Director, maybe a little narcissistic, but the artist is not narcissistic and makes a fart. "Maybe it's a knot in his heart, he has to get this award!" Kate said in her heart.
At this time, seeing that there was still someone patting Chen Tiandu on the shoulder to congratulate him, he had to interrupt and pull him back, reminding Chen Tiandu to concentrate.
"Don't worry too much."
Chen Tiandu sat back and comforted the nervous Kate: "My hope of winning the award is not too great." ”
“No!”
Kate stubbornly turned her head and said seriously: "You will definitely win the prize, at least there is hope." Don't give up, okay. ”
Looking at Kate's serious eyes, Chen Tiandu suddenly "ding" in his heart. Her firm expectation aroused some hope in Chen Tiandu's heart, and the whole person finally quieted down.
Of course, he knows that he still has hope, after all, in the future, there are masterpieces that have won four awards in a row, and his films can only be better. But age is like a double-edged sword, which will make him radiant, and it will also hinder him from winning awards. Even though he has been nominated for the second time, it is still not enough.
Then he thought: "Even if I still lose the second election, I fully believe that I still have a chance to return here, and it definitely doesn't take 11 years to do so, at most two or three years." ”
"But is it really going to take a few years?"
"What will be the end result?"
I can't help but have more expectations and solemnity in my heart.
The five nominees have all been announced, the applause in the auditorium has stopped, and the guests are brewing a bigger wave; The Michael Douglas tycoon on stage is full of momentum. Slowly opened the white envelope. At this time, everyone looked at him quietly, and everyone had something to think about at this time.
"My son. My son, it must be my son. Please, please......"
On the sofa in front of a TV in Beijing, China, Chen Tiandu's parents and family gathered together, nervous hands praying. Among them, the one who was the most worried, so much so that he read it out loud, was naturally Mother Chen.
"If you win a prize, you must win an award!"
Megan Fox was bouncing around on the couch in cool shorts, and her mother just frowned and smiled helplessly, but didn't interrupt her. My daughter is getting better and better. This is definitely due to Chen Tiandu, and she is also quite grateful in her heart.
And Charlize Theron, who knows she's a beauty, so there's no shortage of suitors. And there are also good men pursuing her recently, and she also wants to choose a different life. But in my heart, I have a little more nostalgia for the man who once rejected her hints. When I am with other men, I will occasionally think of Chen Tiandu and unconsciously compare with each other.
"This guy, will he win the prize?"
Michael Douglas is unpacking the envelope. The big screen was divided into 6 grids, and the nominees were all waiting calmly. And his wife Catherine is not looking at her husband who is presenting the award at the moment, but one of the squares behind him, and the corners of her mouth curl up. "If he wins, should I congratulate him?"
"The winner of the 73rd Academy Award for Best Director is...... Wow......"
Douglas looked up, and he looked at the guests with a smile on his face. His lips moved, "An incredible young man." We all love him because the mention of his name reminds one of a wonderful holiday. Christmas Chan, Infernal Affairs! ”
"Whoa, whoa, whoa—"
The frantic shouting and applause that surpassed the volume at any time tonight suddenly exploded, like a flat line suddenly turning into a straight line of high and low, and many guests stood up with a smile and applauded with all their might, sending blessings to the 26-year-old director, who was younger than himself: "Chen, Christmas Chen", "Congratulations, you're amazing", "Unbelievable-"
"What?!"
Chen Tiandu was also stunned for a moment, "It's really me!" ”
"Really, really. Congratulations dear, you've won the prize! Kate hugged him excitedly, her red lips kissing him on the cheek. Chen Tiandu turned his head, kissed her red lips heavily, and made love in front of more than 800 million viewers around the world before getting up and standing up.
"Oh my God, what's going on." Some people still can't believe it.
And the Chinese area behind him was still looking at him incredulously, and even Han Sanpin shook his head: "Oscar Best Director, it's going against the sky!" ”
Soderbergh had some regret on his face, but he still applauded, and no one knew what he was thinking. The skill level of Li's expression is definitely not low, and he always looks like a good old man with an elegant smile.
"Really won?! God, I love you, party, party! "Meghan was bouncing around the house and partying alone.
Stallone was drinking, and when he heard Douglas shouting "I think of a beautiful holiday", he squirted out a mouthful of wine, "Crazy, it's all a bunch of crazy people, Oscar!" But his daughter was elated, "Won, Leo won, awesome!" ”
"Christmas Chan, congratulations on your award." Michael Douglas smiled and handed the little golden figure into his hand and stepped aside.
"Thank you."
It was the second time he was on the podium today, and he was far from being as excited as everyone thought, some were just surprises, and he stood in front of the microphone again and said with feeling: "Thank you, thank you!" This trophy feels so heavy...... Am I dreaming, and if I am dreaming, please let me not wake up so quickly from my dreams. ”
"Hahaha......" The audience burst into laughter.
"Wow~Wow~" Chen Tiandu seemed to be really dreaming, and used two exclamations in a row to express his complicated feelings, and bursts of good-natured laughter were mixed with bursts of applause in the audience again.
"What shall I say? It seems that I have already thanked you for it...... Oh, there it is. Chen Tiandu looked at the audience with a solemn face, "Thank you to the chairman of the academy and thank the judges, this is really a great gift, you are so kind." Gave up four super big names and chose a 26-year-old young man, thank you! ”
The camera focused on Ridley Scott, Soderbergh and others, they were all applauding, and they couldn't see what they were thinking, but Lee's smile seemed to be more genuine. At the Golden Globe Awards, he won the best director, and it was the Oscar's turn, and it became Chen Tiandu who won this award.
Two Chinese-language films, this year, really make people have nothing to say.
On stage, Chen Tiandu continued to say his acceptance speech: "And all the staff in front of and behind the scenes of "Infernal Affairs", you have worked hard. All the fans, I know you're all watching, and I want to say that I won't let you down. Every time you read my name and watch my movies, I just hope that every day is a happy holiday like my name. Thank you!! ”
"Bang Bang Bang
In the thunderous applause, Chen Tiandu and Douglas retreated backstage together, and the applause behind them was still endless. No matter what you think about it, he won that award, the coveted award for many people, the Oscar for Best Director.
Can you say that "Infernal Affairs" is not a classic movie, obviously it can't be so duplicitous. So what's impossible for him to win the award. Thinking about this, it seems that the applause is a little more enthusiastic.
The awards ceremony continued, and the final award, Best Picture, was won by "Gladiator", and they all took the stage to accept the award, and they also became the biggest winners tonight. But the audience remembers more, but the young Chen Tiandu. "Just like Leo in the movie, he's too handsome."
Outside, a new storm of media discussion is converging, especially in Asia.
"The first Asian to win the Academy Award for Best Director was born, and the talented director Chen Tiandu from China made a big report ...... Japan's "Asahi Shimbun".
South Korea's "Chosun Ilbo" reported: "After winning the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival last year, the talented director Chen Tiandu won the Oscar for Best Director again, becoming the first Asian to win this award." ”
In China, even more frantic reports began to spread on the Internet.
"Chen Tiandu won the Oscar for Best Director, and "Infernal Affairs" became the first film to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!" Sina.com and Tencent.com have all made the latest news public with the most conspicuous titles.
"Infernal Affairs" won, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also won, and this Oscar is really like a Chinese festival.
The fans who supported Chen Tiandu in front of the computer screen were excited, and the number of clicks on the official website of the matrix continued to rise. ...... throughout Asia, the Americas, Europe Viewers and fans all over the world who are watching the Golden Globes are either delighted or surprised.
"He's got the prize, wow!" (To be continued......)
