The 79th Academy Awards ceremony was held at 5 p.m. local time in Los Angeles on February 25, and stars from all walks of life appeared. On this year's red carpet, female stars gave up their traditional pace and worked their dresses, and among them, the round and beautiful ** fragrant shoulders have also become a charming scenery on the red carpet where the overall clothing style tends to be retro, which makes the public reminisce.

Last year's red carpet was stolen by others, and this year's Nicole Kidman deliberately chose an elegant slim long dress in a red color, and the moment she walked on the red carpet, even the discerning fashion critics couldn't help but praise it. The silky slim dress inadvertently outlines Nicole's feminine body, and her floor-length bow hanging from her neck is even more beautiful.

Of course, it was not only Nicole who was in the limelight on the red carpet, Anne Hathaway surprised the audience with a black and white dress decorated with lace, and also wrote the perfect Oscar debut. The two-piece set of white embroidered close-fitting evening dresses, the close-fitting vest rhinestones on the upper body flickered faintly, which contained nobility and purity in simplicity, full of princess-like elegance, and the rounded fragrant shoulders made a new interpretation of the pure and gorgeous sense of surname.

These two are real beauties, and it is natural to attract attention, but some actresses who are usually not conspicuous in the media also show their unknown demeanor on the red carpet. Jessica Bell is one of them.

It is said that her figure is a little plump, and her low-key dress in street photography makes her not very conspicuous, but walking on the red carpet and wearing a formal suit, it is a good reflection of the seductive figure admired by Westerners.

But what really set off the red carpet ** was Lin Mingyang and the queen of the music world Madonna. On the one hand, the hot young actor in Hollywood, and on the other hand, the eternal diva of pop music, the two walked all the way on the red carpet, and the cheers of the fans around them were endless, and the reporters pressed the shutter wildly, and the flashing lights on the scene were almost connected.

Sister Mai is old enough to be Lin Mingyang's mother, but at the age of 50, she is still beautiful, she is wearing a black tight-fitting dress today, and the black translucent long skirt expresses the smoothness and stretching feeling of Yun Yunshu with radial streamlines, and outlines her unusually abrupt and plump chest curve, which is very eye-catching on the red carpet.

Lin Mingyang is still wearing a simple black dress, he used to be the absolute protagonist in the camera every time he appeared, but today he has completely become Sister Mai's foil. In a subsequent interview, the host asked him how it felt to walk the red carpet with Madonna, and he jokingly complained: "Everyone around me was shouting with excitement, but those cheers were not given to me, this feeling is very depressing!" ”

"Then let's change the topic of happiness, you were nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award at the last Oscars, and this time you were shortlisted for the Best Original Screenplay Award, do you think you can take away a trophy today?"

Lin Mingyang shrugged, "Although the other shortlisted works are also very good... But I don't want to go home empty-handed tonight! ”

The host then asked, "Which movie are you most optimistic about tonight?" ”

Lin Mingyang said without thinking: "There are many shortlisted films this year that I haven't seen yet, but I think the award of "Infernal Affairs" may be even bigger. ”

The winner of Best Picture is the biggest suspense of this year's Oscars, and every time there are different opinions about the previous ones, ""Little Sunshine Beauty", "Babel", and "Iwo Jima Family Letters" have all been popular. So far, "Infernal Affairs" is not the most favored award winner, but Lin Mingyang's guess is very different from everyone else, which makes the host feel very novel, he asked: "Why this film?" ”

"To be honest, I haven't seen this film until now..."Lin Mingyang's first half of the sentence startled the host, if his expression didn't lie, the joke was too big.

Fortunately, Lin Mingyang immediately explained: "But I have seen another movie, and "Infernal Affairs" is adapted from that film. ”

"I heard it was a movie?" After the host said this, Lin Mingyang stood there stunned, he now looked at the host's expression, as if he was looking at an alien.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, his expression was still so strange, and the host, who didn't know it, specially added: "What's wrong with me saying that?" ”

Lin Mingyang blocked the lens of the opposite camera with his hand, and then looked at the host with a serious face: "Wasn't that live broadcast just now?" ”

The host looked at Lin Mingyang stunned, "Before the awards ceremony, we will choose the part of this interview with the surname..."

"Then cut out the one just now, if you don't want to cause trouble and misunderstanding!" Lin Mingyang put his arm around the host's shoulders, pulled him to his back, leaned together and whispered: "I can make a bet with you, "Infernal Affairs" is definitely the biggest winner tonight, and you just got a basic fact wrong, I can tell you very responsibly that this film is adapted from a Hong Kong movie." ”

"It's just a slip of the tongue, is it as serious as you say?" The host looked at Lin Mingyang with a puzzled expression.

Lin Mingyang nodded very seriously: "Don't forget, the Oscar awards ceremony is for the world, many Chinese will also watch this program, you say that the movie they made is your own work, what do you think they will think?" ”

Lin Mingyang patted him on the shoulder before leaving, "I forgot to tell you that most Chinese people hate Yu himself!" ”

In Lin Mingyang's memory, it was because of the host's slip of the tongue that this Oscar was saddled with the notoriety of being suspected of "insulting China". As a Chinese in his soul, Lin Mingyang is very disgusted with humiliating movies, and it is undeniable that there are many such works in Hollywood movies, but this is never the mainstream of Hollywood.

This Oscar is indeed "wronged" by people, this is just a host's slip of the tongue, if Hollywood really "insults China", Chinese kung fu will never want to be on the American screen or appear in Hollywood movies, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Yuan Heping, Ang Lee, etc. can only stand aside. Ang Lee is of pure Chinese descent, but he still won the Oscar for Best Director.

Lin Mingyang also remembered this incident from the film "Infernal Affairs", but he didn't expect the host of this big article to let him meet him in advance, so he gave the other party a "preventive shot" by the way, and it is estimated that at the award ceremony, he will not make such a low-level mistake again.

――――In the venue, Lin Mingyang met a lot of acquaintances, he first met Jessica Bell head-on, and then met Spielberg, the two stood together and chatted for a long time, and when he found his seat, Lin Mingyang was surprised to find that it was Natalie Portman sitting next to him.

Portman, who was rumored to be cold and arrogant in the industry and didn't like to interact with people, actually raised his head and smiled at him, Lin Mingyang blinked hard to make sure that this was not an illusion.

"The expression on your face betrays a psychological tendency of surprise and surprise." Portman saw through Lin Mingyang's mind at a glance, and he also gave a very professional answer.

"It's really a surprise!" Lin Mingyang nodded. While Portman was observing him, he was also secretly observing the other party. To be honest, Lin Mingyang's curiosity about this "senior sister" is not the slightest bit.

People will never forget George Lucas's role as the noble and beautiful Queen Amidala in the end-of-the-century Star Wars Prequel: The Phantom Menace, which was released at the end of the century and took the world by storm. Despite all the accolades, it's an indisputable fact that the film hit a huge box office around the world. And Natalie Portman's beautiful image is also known to the world like Hepburn back then.

Just when everyone predicted that Portman would become popular, this girl who was a good reader suddenly announced that she would retire from photography and enter Harvard to major in psychology. Such a high-profile fade out allows the world to appreciate the different side of this "precocious girl".

"I've heard a lot of interesting stories about you at Harvard, and I think your life is a lot more interesting than I was back then." Natalie Portman was far more excited about her experience at Harvard than anything else, but she first started paying attention to Lin Mingyang not because of Harvard, but because of her friend Scarlett Johansson.

Lin Mingyang and Scarlett had a collaboration in the film "Baseball Girl", and during that time she often mentioned Lin Mingyang to Portman, but Portman did not expect that Lin Mingyang, who was not famous at the time, would eventually become an alumnus with her.

Portman is the quintessential superb, and she likes to socialize with people who are about the same level as her, which is one reason why she chose Harvard. To avoid being distracted by stargazers, Portman used her grandmother's surname as her stage name. But her attempts to avoid disclosing the names of the universities she attended were less successful. Even though everyone knew she had chosen Harvard, she herself refused to name it.

"I don't want fans to visit. I've heard that when Brooke Smalls was in Princeton, hundreds of people visited each year. I don't want to end up like this, because I don't want to associate with strangers. Some people may think it's rude for me to do this, but I really don't need it. ”

The identity of an alumnus gave Portman a natural sense of identity with Lin Mingyang, and the conversation between the two naturally revolved around Harvard at the beginning.

"But the people around me are amazing. For example, one of them once performed with the famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and the other published a book of poetry. In addition, I know some classmates who have participated in the Olympics. They are simply amazing! ”

"Hearing you say that, I feel like I'm in bad luck!" Lin Mingyang smiled with a "distressed" expression, "My roommate who lives in the same bedroom with me dropped out of school halfway, and there is a gay lover living in another bedroom in the dormitory..."

"Your roommate who dropped out of school is Mark Zuckerberg, right?" Portman seems to know a lot about Lin, "I think he's more successful than most of the Harvard students." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Lin Mingyang shrugged.

Portman said enviously: "Your story at Harvard is much richer than mine." ”

But Lin Mingyang, who is beautiful on the surface, has his own difficulties: "I think your academic performance may be better than mine... In fact, if I continue in my current state, I am worried about whether I will be able to graduate from Harvard. I've been filming outside for almost half of the time, and I've missed a lot of classes for this! ”

"Then you have to pay attention, the professors of the psychology department at Harvard have always been known for their severity, and it is a terrible thing to plant in their hands!" Portman looked at Lin Mingyang with some sympathy, "But I'm curious, why did you choose psychology as your major?" ”

"I think this subject is very useful for me, it can help me to understand the state of human mental activity, whether it is to create a character or interpret a character, the knowledge of psychology is very useful."

Natalie Portman's passion for psychology is beyond Lin's imagination, even though Portman also knows that her popularity will soon prevent her from pursuing a "normal" career. "My previous experience as an actor will not be conducive to my career in clinical psychology, but I can still do research in this area," she says. ”

Lin Mingyang smiled and said: "If you become a psychiatrist, I estimate that many people will change from 'not sick' to 'sick', so your research is estimated to be greatly affected!" ”

"So I had to come back to acting." Portman sighed helplessly.

"'District 9' is a good movie, and that area where aliens are held reminds me of the Jewish concentration camps, where I used to always try to avoid playing Jews... Sometimes I get 20 Holocaust scripts a month, but I really hate the subject! But I also have to admit that your style of expression is really unique, and I really hope to work with you if I have the opportunity! ”

――――In the Best Costume Design Award, "The City Full of Golden Armor", which cost 10 million yuan, lost to "The Peerless Cleopatra". But a simple Chinese woman with black hair and a black dress made a big splash at the Oscars: Yang Ziye, the director of the documentary "Children of Yingzhou" and the winner of the best documentary short film.

Coincidentally, the guest who presented her award was Lin Mingyang, considering that he was not only the nominee of the award, but also had to bear the heavy responsibility of the award presenter, so the Oscar organizing committee arranged for him to present this award that was relatively high in time.

Lin Mingyang didn't know Yang Ziye beforehand, and he had never paid attention to this film, and when he found out that it was a yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese woman who came on stage, he took the initiative to ask for an intimate hug with the other party.

"Children of Yingzhou" is about the real survival of children affected by AIDS in China, and female director Yang Ziye talked about their experience of filming in her acceptance speech, "We have had physical contact with them, we have eaten dumplings made by them, and when we went to their house, we were bitten by mosquitoes on both legs and countless bags, which made us very scared. Even more than a year after filming, there are still people in the crew who are worried about whether they will be infected. ”

"But the filming of this film brought us more touching, after all, those are only a little tall children, we can't help crying when we see them crying, and all the staff always shoot while silently shedding tears. Sometimes when I go to shoot some shots of children going to graves, I can't bear to shoot them anymore. When editing the film, I had a hard time making a decision because there were so many sad scenes that I couldn't let go of. ”

After thanking her in Chinese at the end, she bowed to the audience. Lin Mingyang's award for the child of "Children of Yingzhou" touched Lin Mingyang a lot, and while he slowly got used to his identity as an American, he also forgot where his soul belonged. Yang Ziye's appearance made Lin Mingyang suddenly realize that he should do something.

Back in his seat, Lin Mingyang had been thinking about this question all the time, immersed in this reflection, and he didn't know anything about what was going on in the outside world. It wasn't until Natalie Portman next to him gently pushed him that Lin Mingyang came back to his senses, and then he found that the people around him were looking at him with a very strange look.

Under the gaze of everyone, Portman reminded in a whisper, "Felix, it's time for you to go on stage to receive the award!" ”

Perhaps the question he was thinking about just now was too heavy, Lin Mingyang didn't have much joy on his face after learning that he won the award, and he was ridiculed by the host when he came on stage.

Holding the shining little golden figure in his hand, Lin Mingyang finally squeezed out a smile on his face: "To be honest, I'm not surprised that I won the award... I would like to give a special thanks to Nick, the film's assistant director, who in a sense co-directed the film with me. ”

Lin Mingyang waved the trophy in his hand to the audience, "Although the award is just a script, I still want to thank him and all the people in the crew!" ”

The film "Infernal Affairs" unsurprisingly won a big victory at this Oscars, winning four awards in one fell swoop. Director Martin Scorsese stood on the podium and said more than 10 "thank you" in a row, one of which was given to the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", in which he mentioned that "the original film made in Hong Kong, China, is a very good Asian film. ”

Looking at the high-spirited Martin on stage, Lin Mingyang felt sorry for the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", which also signed up for the 2003 Oscar selection, but was not even shortlisted. The reason for this is probably because of the cultural differences between the two sides.

At the subsequent celebration reception, Lin Mingyang specially found Yang Ziye, and his idea was very simple, that is, to set up a charitable fund in Chinese mainland to help those AIDS children who are living in difficulty.
