Chapter 654: Oscar (I)
Entering the Kodak Theater, Han Yi did not stay in the crowded hall, but went directly into the theater, and soon found the place where the crew of "Hero" was located, there were not many people from the crew, less than ten, most of them sat in a relatively backward position, only Han Yi and Li Xiaolong's seats were relatively forward.

One after another, people sat down, waiting for the award ceremony to begin, and the reporters were waiting to witness this historic moment according to the predetermined positions. And in the whole scene, the best position is naturally the real stars of Hollywood such as the nominated actors, directors and so on who are waiting to receive the award.
Before sitting down, a Lionsgate executive also came over to chat with Han Yi, who was in charge of the on-site command part of the Oscar broadcast.
Although the ratings of the Oscars are declining year by year, advertising expenses are only rising.
This year, each ad inserted on an Oscars live was sold for an average of $1.7 million, with each 30-second ad running time, or an average of $57,000 per second. Advertising alone brings in more than $70 million in revenue.
Of course, whether it is selling advertisements to make money or entertaining the public, Hollywood is actually the biggest winner of the Oscars.
The awards have not yet begun, and everyone is quietly discussing the problem, such as who has a better chance of winning the award, and whether someone has a chance to win the crown of the actress this time.
Han Yi found that this is also a place to fight acting, if it were in China, in this case, everyone should have been nervous, but here, everyone's expressions are very relaxed.
Take the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award, an award that China plays by itself, Chinese actors still pay more attention to this award, so when the award is presented, the nominees are still very nervous.
But looking at the Oscars now, it seems that many people don't care much about the result. are talking and laughing with friends around them, and the level of nervousness is limited.
"Brother Xiaolong, are you also acting~!"
Qi Ming asked beside Li Xiaolong, to which Li Xiaolong did not answer.
At this moment, Li Xiaolong, at least on the surface, showed that kind of elegant smile, and seemed a little calm.
But in fact, the heart is also overturned for a while, no one is so calm in the face of Oscar, even Li Xiaolong will be nervous, just say that big stars can control their emotions, obviously they are not excited, but at least on the surface, you can't see that people are nervous through the camera.
"It's all this time, is it still interesting to compete like this?" Han Yi asked again, because it was in Chinese, so he didn't have to worry about others hearing it.
"This is a habit in Hollywood, at the awards ceremony, all the actors will compete, whether it is from jewelry, costumes and other costumes, to see who is more popular, if the dress is too shabby, it will be looked down upon."
"Besides, everyone's acting skills are also a kind of promotion now, after all, there are not many times when there are so many stars performing together, and it is also a good opportunity to hone your acting skills."
When Li Xiaolong said this, he actually told Han Yi that he was acting.
"En~!"
Suddenly, the music sounded, and the Oscars were about to kick off.
As in previous years, the Oscars will be preceded by a video featuring the nominated films and their hosts, and this year's Oscars video will focus on finding the host of the awards gala.
In order to boost the ratings, the organizing committee of this year's Oscars can be said to have tried its best, such as jokes getting a larger scale of open permission.
"The Oscars are the place where you can meet the most stars, and you don't have to donate money to the Democrats."
"Don't look at piracy! Look at these celebrities, you see that piracy is tantamount to stealing their stuff! Look at those actresses again, they are so poor that they can barely cover their ****, are you embarrassed to watch piracy? ”
"Hundreds of millions of people are watching this Oscars live, and half of them are waiting to be adopted by Angelina Jolie."
Politics and female celebrities have become the object of ridicule.
The organizing committee was the first to award the heavier Best Supporting Actor, probably hoping to use heavyweight awards to bring up the emotions of the audience.
There are also many contenders for the Best Supporting Actor award, including George Clooney for "Good Night, Long Away", Tommy Lee Jones for "Lincoln", Philip Hoffman for "The Master", Robert De Niro for "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds", and Alan Arkin for "Escape from Tehran".
Such a competitive lineup is actually very strong, and the final award was awarded to George Clooney of "Good Night, Long Away".
The first to take the podium was George Clooney, the famous Hollywood male vase, who finally ushered in a turning point in his career after directing and starring in "Good Night, So Far Away" and was recognized by the Oscars.
"Good Night, Good Luck" is just the second film directed by George Clooney, and this time it was nominated for several awards, including Best Director and Best Picture.
But in the end, George Clooney's reputation is more in terms of actors than directors, and the academy gave him Best Supporting Actor, which almost means that he has no chance of being the best director in the future.
George Clooney also understands this, so his first words on stage were "Since I won Best Supporting Actor, I will definitely not be able to win Best Director Statuette......"
This sentence seems to be the best portrayal of the Oscars, and the tone of the awards cake and egalitarianism is unusually clear.
Next, Best Animated Short Film went to "Paper Man", Best Animated Feature went to "Brave Legend", Best Supporting Actress went to British actress Rachel Weisz, and the film was "The Immortal Gardener".
Next, "Les Miserables" won Best Makeup and Hairstyling, "Anna Karenina" won Best Costume Design, "Looking for Little Sugar Man" won Best Documentary Feature, Ben Affleck won Best Documentary Feature, "The Complaint" won Best Documentary Short Film and "Curfew" won Best Live Action Short Film! In this way, the award block for the documentary has been awarded.
All those who pay attention to the Oscars are excited at this moment, and they are waiting intently
An award is awarded!
Because, the next award is the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!
This year's Oscar nominations for Best Foreign Language Film are not controversial, but there is a lot of scrutiny.
Everyone is concerned about whether Han Yi can become the youngest director of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in history, and become the first Chinese film to win the Oscar for Foreign Language Film, especially Chinese fans, who are even more concerned about this matter.
