333.Oscars (Part I)
Los Angeles is a coastal city, located on the west coast of the United States, with beautiful scenery, also known as the "City of Angels", but also a super metropolis integrating finance, technology and culture, and also has the reputation of "City of Technology".
Tonight, the 78th Academy Awards will be held at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles.
At this time, Huaxia Central Television, which is far away on the other side of the ocean, is also broadcasting this grand event of all shijie filmmakers.
"Hello everyone, this is Huaxia TV, today is a grand event for global filmmakers, and the annual Oscars will also be held tonight, so we specially invited two big directors as special guests to interpret this year's Oscars."
"Welcome Director Chen Kaige and Director Ning Hao." After the host finished speaking, he turned the conversation to the other party, and as the camera moved, Chen Kaige and Ning Hao also appeared in the picture.
You don't need to watch it to know that this is Huaxia TV taking care of Ye Sumang, and the two people invited, one is Ye Sumang's senior brother, and the other is Ye Sumang's good brother, which is obviously the rhythm of playing the family card.
"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Kaige (Ning Hao)." The two of them greeted the camera, but Chen Kaige seemed very natural, while Ning Hao was a little nervous, after all, he had too little experience on TV.
"Director Chen Kaige, this year's Oscars can also be a grand event in the Chinese film industry, Ang Lee has been shortlisted for two awards, and Ye Sumang has also been shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film, what do you think are the chances of two people winning the award?"
Chen Kaige took the microphone, thought about it, and returned: "Ang Lee, the director, is very powerful, and he is also a frequent visitor to the Oscars, and he also won the Best Foreign Language Film Award, and I have also seen the shortlisted movie "Broken Arm Mountain" he filmed. The topic is very novel, and the probability of winning the award is still quite large, compared to Ye Sumang's movie, it is more disadvantaged, "If? "Love" is a novel musical theme, but the starting point is somewhat oriental culture, so it is likely not to be accepted by the Oscar judges. But I think Ye Sumang can be shortlisted for the Oscar at the age of 21, and he has succeeded. β
"Director Ning Hao, what do you think?" The host didn't treat Ning Hao coldly because the great director Chen Kaige was present, and as soon as the words fell, he threw the question to Ning Hao again.
"I'm just a rookie character who has just entered the industry, not like Director Chen who knows so much, but as Ye Sumang's good friend and brother, I still hope that he can win this Best Foreign Language Film Award." Ning Hao replied shyly.
Director Ning Hao's words also hit the minds of netizens. For example, this 127568 netizen said, Director Ye's "If? Love has touched thousands of viewers, and it will certainly be able to move the Oscar judges. β
There is also this 256879 netizen, he said that he most hopes to see Ang Lee and Ye Sumang both win awards, then this Oscar will be the world of Chinese directors, haha, this netizen's idea is really good, I believe this is also the new life of countless viewers who are sitting in front of the TV to watch this show...... All right. The time has come and the red carpet has begun. Let's switch the live signal over. β
Perhaps it is because the heavens are not beautiful, and it is raining lightly in the City of Angels today.
Ye Sumang's movies have not been satisfactory at the box office in the United States, so their fame in the United States is basically a dispensable genre, so the arrangements on the red carpet are naturally relatively high.
Today's Ye Sumang is still wearing the same conservative as usual, with a black suit and a white shirt. It's no different from the past, but his delicate appearance and slender figure make him look more like an idol than a director, which is why Weishenme Ye Sumang always likes to wear it like this.
Only this simple combination can make him appear more stable, and it can also make the other party ignore his age a little.
But when he turned around and glanced at the three actors beside Ye Sumang, the dress of the people was the one who really came to the red carpet show.
Zhang Xueyou deliberately changed into a snow-white suit. Today seems to be extraordinarily spiritual, and Yuan Hong is even more exaggerated, through the designer introduced by Ye Sumang specially created a red suit embroidered with a Chinese dragon for him, wearing both imposing and full of Chinese characteristics, and Zhou Wei is not simple, wearing the most popular hollow white pattern dress this year, when she walked out of the fitting room, the three men present at the time were stunned by the beauty of that moment.
"Su Mang? Mr. Ye, please bring your crew to get ready to enter. Not long after, a foreigner who spoke awkward Chinese informed Ye Sumang to enter the venue.
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Hong was the first to step out of the car door.
The drizzle has been falling, and the moment he stepped out of the car door, a staff member handed over an umbrella outside, Yuan Hong took it but found that the other party did not mean to take it again, and he was surprised for a moment, so he explained to the staff that there were four other people on his side, but the staff just waved his hand, but did not hand the umbrella over.
"Brother Xueyou, you and Sister Zhou Wei take this umbrella first." Ye Sumang had also come out at this time, looking at the only umbrella in Yuan Hong's hand and his surprised face, he spoke.
When Yuan Hong heard this, he hurriedly handed the umbrella to Zhang Xueyou.
"What's the matter with an umbrella." Zhou Wei frowned and asked, so did Zhang Xueyou.
Ye Sumang smiled and didn't say anything, it was obvious that this was the contempt for them at the Oscars, but it was so obvious that it was really out of grace.
"This staff member, please please bring another umbrella here, and say that the huge Oscars are not even short of an umbrella?" Ye Sumang walked up to the staff member who handed the umbrella just now at this time and asked loudly.
The staff member squinted at Ye Sumang, and finally unwillingly took out another umbrella and handed it to Ye Sumang.
After all, Ye Sumang actually brought this matter to the award ceremony, he was just a small staff member, and he couldn't afford it.
"Bullying the soft and fearing the hard, what kind of person." Yuan Hong saw that Ye Sumang was about to get an umbrella, and couldn't help but complain, the other party who was so good to talk about it just now ignored it, and now he had to yell at Director Ye to be obedient to him, it was really cheap.
"Let's go." After getting the umbrella, Yuan Hong took the initiative to take it and prop up the umbrella, but obviously the umbrella was not big enough, two men over 1.8 meters were crowded under the umbrella, and half of their bodies were exposed.
Ye Sumang glanced at the umbrella, then looked back at the staff, looking at the banter in the other party's eyes, Ye Sumang smiled indifferently, did not get angry, did not entangle again, but walked towards the red carpet with firm steps.
"Yuan Hong, can you see that the person just now is a racist?" When walking towards the red carpet, Ye Sumang chatted with Yuan Hong as he walked.
"Racist?" Yuan Hong exclaimed in surprise, it was really this name that he had always thought only existed in books, but he didn't expect to encounter it in reality this time.
"His eyes reveal a feeling of disgust from a glance, just because we are Orientals, and this is the real American society, no fame, no status, even a small staff member dares to bully you, but as long as you are famous, you have identity and status, then even if he is racist, even if he wants to cut you a thousand times in his heart, but on the surface he will still be respectful to you." When he said this, Ye Sumang clenched his fists left and right, and for the first time he had a desire to conquer this place in Hollywood.
And Yuan Hong, who was walking behind him, seemed to be inspired by his naked speech, and said loudly to Ye Sumang, who was walking in front: "Director, I will work hard in the future to make your scenes and become famous in Hollywood." β
"I'm looking forward to that day." Ye Sumang paused and said with Yuan Hong behind his back, his tone full of confidence.
βPleaseοΌ Please look here. In the early part of the red carpet, the media visited and saw Ye Sumang and his party walking on the red carpet, so several reporters waved and motioned for them to turn their heads and take pictures.
"Friend, who is this?" After taking a random picture, a reporter put away his camera and asked the person next to him.
"Didn't you write all the information just now, Su Mang? Leaf? This name is really tongue-twisting, the finalist of this year's Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, I really want to call it "If? Love. β
"What kind of movie, I don't have any impression at all." The reporter who asked the question shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless and confused.
"Actually, I haven't seen it either." The colleague he asked smiled and said, "But he has a movie that is quite famous in Hollywood, that is, last year's Disney TV movie that was screened on his home channel and achieved 7.7 million viewers, and it is not said that it is adapted from a movie he made." β
"I have some impressions when you say that, Disney mentioned it at the press conference last year, no matter, let's have another one, maybe you may use it when filling in the edition in the future." As he spoke, the reporter raised his camera again and took another picture of Ye Sumang, who was smiling and waving in the venue.
"However, this kid is really handsome." After taking the photo, the reporter who checked the photo suddenly couldn't help but say a word jealously, at this time, Ye Sumang raised a hand on the camera screen and waved it gently, with a touch of firmness and confidence on his delicate and handsome face, and the demeanor at that moment was extremely charming.
At this time, on the other side of the ocean, many viewers who watched the live broadcast were also instantly moved by Ye Sumang's peerless appearance at this time, although half of Ye Sumang's body was wet, but his straight back, firm steps, and gentle and confident smile seemed so charming at this moment.
"Wow, Director Ye Sumang has stepped on the red carpet, accompanied by Mr. Zhang Xueyou, Miss Zhou Wei, Mr. Yuan Hong, this is the first time Director Ye Sumang has participated in the Oscars, but we can't see a trace of nervousness on his face, and today is his twenty-second birthday, I don't know if he can get the little golden man on this birthday......"
With the host's words, Ye Sumang and others quickly disappeared at the end of the red carpet, and the Oscars ceremony gradually came to the right topic with the passage of time. (To be continued......)
