Chapter 231: Famous Rivers and Lakes (First Update)
(Merry Christmas, please subscribe, ask for a monthly pass to save until the 29th, let's explode New Year's Day together!) Thanks a lot! ďź
The Los Angeles Times entertainment headline is dedicated to the new director Chen Tiandu: "When the 25-year-old Christmas Chen won the Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival, people were still surprised, but when he won the Oscar for Best Director again at the age of 26, everyone's impression now is only crazy!" â
The New York Times also couldn't wait to make a big report on the front page of the website: "Two months ago, the Golden Globes refused to set themselves a record for the youngest best director, and countless indignant fans at the time denounced the Golden Globe voting for being problematic, old-fashioned, old-fashioned, and better than the Oscars, and he deserved that award." The Directors Guild Award also rejected the young man and presented it to his compatriot Lee case, allowing himself to fail with the Oscar prediction again. â
On the Internet, he has been rendered as a tragic hero, a great director who is shackled by age...... I have to say that the public relations of the matrix is good, and this trick of playing the sad card obviously succeeded in impressing many judges. Before the Oscars, whether the Best Director Award can break through the old traditions, break the shackles of age, and create a superstar has become the biggest suspense factor for Chen to win the award at Christmas. â
Now, two months later, Oscar has broken with the old tradition and fulfilled him. But when the result came, it still felt unbelievable. It's not that he's not good enough, it's not that the movie isn't good enough, he's good enough, and we've gone through the history of the whole planet, and we can't find a second guy who can do a better job than him at the age of 26. John Singleton can't, Steven Soderbergh doesn't, Steven Spielberg doesn't ......"
"Look what he did. Three films in three years, written, directed and acted by himself. Every year it is shortlisted for the Oscars, and every year there is a little golden man harvest. Never go home empty-handed. His films have become a double guarantee of box office and quality, he made Americans successfully like a Chinese, he created a miracle in Hollywood, and even the compatriots who are currently the best in Hollywood, Chen Long, Wu Yusen, Li Case, Li Lianjie, and Zhou Yunfa are not as good as him. Moreover, after this year, his fourth, fifth and even sixth films will be released, so it is surprising that such a fast speed will inevitably lead to worry, can the quality be guaranteed? â
The French "Cannes Cinema Weekly" published a cover article, "This is the most correct choice, the quality of the film should not be determined by other factors." When "Infernal Affairs" was released in Cannes, the suspenseful story of the amazing opening made all the judges choose to quarrel, and in the end, Cannes gave him the best director because he deserved the award. But leaving Cannes, the capital of films, this excellence began to inevitably be blinded by factors other than other films, age, race, etc., we have to say that Hollywood is not a pure film kingdom, they will always consider more other factors. Cannes is the true capital of cinema. Fortunately, after the Golden Globe Awards, the Directors Guild, and various association awards rejected Chen Tiandu, the Oscars finally made the right choice, which is gratifying, and they followed in the footsteps of Cannes......"
Wow. When the American media saw this report, they immediately lost the motivation to continue reading it, and the arrogance of the French was never less than that of the Americans. As a result, a new round of media scolding was immediately launched, criticizing the Cannes Film Festival for its reduced commercial value, its emphasis on art over form, and the arbitrariness of the judges' selection of awards. The media on both sides scolded each other.
But this did not prevent newspapers in other regions from rushing to report on it, and the British newspaper The Times reported: "This is the best gift of the century that the new millennium has given him." At the age of 26, he has a global box office of $1.5 billion, and has won three Oscars and one British Oscar. It is already difficult to predict how far he will go in the future, and it should not be a meteor with a flash of light and heat. â
The Sun: "Chen Tiandu won the Oscar for Best Director in history, which is the first time that the Oscars have chosen an Asian. Chen Tiandu's mood of winning the award is even cooler than the first time he broke a virgin male, and according to reliable news analysis, Chen Tiandu's first time should be a virgin male who was broken by Kate Beckinsale, is it Kate's responsibility......
Well, it's the biggest gossip newspaper in the world, and their tastes are always different.
Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" headline headline: "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, Chen Tiandu has become the first Chinese to win the Oscar for Best Director!" The People's Daily of the mainland also gave a headline in a conspicuous place, "Chinese-language films won this year's Oscars and Golden Globe Awards for Best Director." Chinese director Chen Tiandu won the Oscar for Best Director, and "Infernal Affairs" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for a historic time, which is the pride of Chinese films......"
After the Oscars, there will be a series of celebrations. The most famous is the Vanity Fair dinner.
The film with the most awards at this year's Academy Awards is "Gladiator", with a total of 12 nominations, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li Xin is ranked second with 10 nominations, and it is also the non-English-language film with the most awards in the history of the Oscars. "Gladiator" won 5 Academy Awards in the end to become the biggest winner, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Drug Network" and "Infernal Affairs" won 3 Academy Awards each.
As one of the protagonists of tonight, no one is more eye-catching than Chen Tiandu. He had to accept everyone's congratulations again and again, and the muscles on his face were almost stiff with laughter, and he couldn't stop at all.
Disney boss Robert Iger walked up to him with a goblet and held out his hand, "Congratulations on Christmas Chan, I think the plan between us should be officially established, this is a good time, don't you think?" â
"Thank you." Chen Tiandu shook hands with a smile and said: "I am honored to cooperate with Disney, although it is a bit hasty, but there must be no harm in preparing in advance, then let's start forming the main creative team, we still have a lot to discuss." â
Robert Iger smiled with satisfaction and shook his hand again, "Good, looking forward to meeting next time." I think we're going to make a classic series. Chen Tiandu shook it with a smile and affirmed: "It's not that it should, but it must be, I hope that the matrix and Disney can maintain a good cooperative relationship." â
In the interview room backstage of the ceremony, on the red sofa that is not very spacious, Chen Tiandu held the Oscar statuette and was interviewed by ABC TV. The camera and microphone of the film crew were naturally working, and the beautiful reporter Stina Hamilton who interviewed sat opposite, also with a happy smile, and asked: "Christmas Chen, you won the Oscar for Best Director, how are you feeling now?" â
When Chen Tiandu heard this question, he recalled the excitement just now, "Your question reminds me a little bit of my acceptance speech, and I think my acceptance speech is my mood." To be honest, when I went on stage to accept the award, my heart was calm because I didn't expect to win the award at all. But when I walked backstage, my heart beat wildly. Bang, bang, bang, bang, I suspect it's going to jump out, but luckily I don't have a heart attack......"
"Haha, that's a nice thing to do." Stina laughed: "Many people say that winning the Oscar is the pinnacle of life, like a wavy line, which has reached the highest peak, and then it will be downhill. Can you tell us about your future work plans in advance, and what are your plans for your future life? â
Chen Tiandu said seriously: "I know this truth, and there are many allusions in China to warn future generations not to be complacent and arrogant, so that they will quickly fall after glory." I also don't want to be a shooting star, if life is a wavy line, I hope I will always be climbing higher waves. â
"As for my future plans, I still have a lot of books in my hand. In addition to "Fast and Thrilling", which will be released in May, will be tested by the audience, "Infernal Affairs: Ultimate Infernal" in June is also a story carefully crafted by the entire crew, and I hope fans will be satisfied with it. I still have a lot of stories in my head, and I want to make them into a movie one by one, and it's a process of creating zĂ o, which makes people very fascinated. In addition, the matrix will also cooperate with Disney to jointly create a movie, which is currently being planned, and it is difficult to reveal any more. This is a plan that has been set for a long time, and it will not change because I won the Oscar, and I hope that I can always be humble, not arrogant, and worthy of the fans who support me. â
Stina tilted her head slightly: "This looks like a dissertation presentation, and you seem to be a very disciplined person, which is always reassuring." â
Chen Tiandu shook his head and said, "No, I am not a saint, and I can't go on smoothly forever." Don't forget that I'm only 26 years old, but I'm also a crazy guy at heart. If you do something bad in the future, please be tolerant. â
The host Stina suddenly looked strange, "Are you taking a vaccination in advance?" â
"Hahaha, sort of, after all, the results are not easy to come by, and I want to cherish them more, don't I."
When the day passed, the outside world was far from over.
Regarding the Oscars, the red carpet, awards, behind the scenes, in front of the stage, and even Chen Tiandu's new car has been on the front page of countless car magazines. It's just a chariot that drives into the city at the dawn of time, and it's almost time to load it with missiles.
It's cool to die for, this guy is really crazy in his bones.
Anyone who loves cars, when they see this car, can't help but have itchy hands. Especially on the way to the red carpet, it was Kate who arrived with Chen Tiandu, two men and women who are not used to showing affection, unexpectedly teamed up to create a show, which was also ridiculed and reported by many media afterwards.
Matrix Tesla Motors has also attracted a lot of attention. Power and new energy, electric drive, please, aren't they making electric cars, that kind of toy-like thing, can you drive on the highway? There are also many environmentalists who are concerned about Matrix Tesla.
As for this year's Oscars, what really caused a sensation is to look back at Chen Tiandu. According to the director of ABC TV, this year's Oscars set a record for the largest number of viewers in the world, and this record will be difficult to break in the future, unless Chen Tiandu appears at the Oscars again. Then everyone knew that there were obviously too many Chinese watching the show.
The 26-year-old Cannes and Oscar double best director, anyone who sees it will be shocked. Chen Tiandu's image of Leo was deeper before, and now many people are beginning to face up to his identity as a director, and his global popularity has begun to soar. (To be continued......)
