Chapter 401: The Chinese on the Oscars (Part II)
Chapter 401: The Chinese on the Oscars (II)
The death of Huang Xinzhuang, the great boxer of Hongmen, still caused quite a stir in the martial arts world.
And his death still had some impact on Zhang Yi. Although Huang Xinzhuang died at the age of nearly 100, Zhang Yi had a little more insight into the existence of life.
Huang Xinzhuang's funeral, Zhang Yi naturally wanted to attend. However, before that, there is still an award ceremony to attend. It's just that this award ceremony was due to Huang Xinzhuang's death, which made Zhang Yi feel less happy to continue to be happy.
"What's wrong?" After Zhang Yi went back, his feelings were not high. The attentive Zhou Huimin asked with concern.
"Master Huang has passed away." Zhang Yi looked at Zhou Huimin and said.
"Master Huang? Master Huang Xinzhuang? Zhou Huimin asked.
Zhang Yi nodded.
"Then this Oscars, do you still attend?" Zhou Huimin then asked.
"Hehe, this one doesn't delay." Zhang Yi glanced at him, looked at Hong Jinbao and the others who were him, and then smiled reluctantly and said.
If he hadn't participated, Hong Jinbao and others would have won't be able to hold up the scene, or they wouldn't have attracted much media attention at all. If Zhang Yi wants to promote these Chinese filmmakers to the world, he must use his popularity and the media's attention to him.
If nothing else, there is absolutely a world of difference between these people walking on the red carpet and walking on the red carpet alone.
Who is the media most concerned about today? is undoubtedly Zhang Yi. No big-name star can compare to it.
Two days before the award ceremony, Zhang Yi did not go to Los Angeles with Hong Jinbao and others, but took the house to study the codex he got from Huang Xinzhuang about practicing Bigu Kung Fu.
It's not that Zhang Yi hasn't read Lian Bigu's books, but he can't compare with this codex. After reading it, Zhang Yi finally understood why Huang Xinzhuang couldn't help but practice, and ended up taking Du Xinwu's old path.
Zhang Yi didn't practice, but he got a lot of inspiration from it.
"Ah Yi, I said what have you been doing these two days. So you were looking at this thing? You wouldn't be practicing too, would you? Master Huang practiced this thing and went mad and died. Hong Jinbao then said, as if trying to persuade him.
"Who did you listen to?" Zhang Yi looked at Hong Jinbao curiously.
"This matter is rumors outside. Especially the Guoshu Building and Chinatown. Hong Jinbao said.
"Hmm!" Zhang Yi nodded, didn't say anything more, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
On March 21, at the 66th Academy Awards, Zhang Yi took the creator of "Inception" to the Los Angeles Music Center.
Every year, the Oscars are the grand occasion of the film industry. And this time, because Zhang Yi and his movie "Inception" have attracted the attention of fans in Asia and other places. Countless TV stations broadcast it live, or rebroadcast.
And the media from all over the world have gathered a lot in the music center.
On the red carpet of this year's Oscars, there is an extremely bright scene.
When Zhang Yi, the world's most popular filmmaker, walked on the red carpet of the Oscars with a group of Chinese, almost all the media focused on these Chinese filmmakers.
Many people know that these Chinese are not here to make soy sauce this time. Among them, including Zhang Yi, several people have been nominated for Oscars.
This is also the most nominated Chinese filmmakers. Moreover, the one with the highest call for the award was held. Of course, the one with the highest call for the award is not Zhang Yi.
Whether it's Best Director, or Best Picture. The most vocal is not Zhang Yi, but Spielberg and "Schindler's List".
"Boss, honestly, do you regret supporting Spielberg in the first place for Schindler's List? You could have seen that the film was going to shine at the Oscars. Didn't you think that this film would become your biggest competitor to Inception? ”
As soon as Zhang Yi sat down, he heard Bali Diller on the other side say to him with a smile.
"Even without Schindler's List, it would still be difficult for Inception to win any important awards, and there would only be a few technical awards. This film, at the beginning of filming, was not for awards. It's about rushing to the box office. And supporting "Schindler's List" is going for the award. You see, Schindler's List will be the biggest winner this time. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"You've always had a good eye! But if that's the case, the media are afraid that you are doing it yourself. Bali Diller said with a smile.
"Self-inflicted?" Zhang Yi smiled and didn't speak again. This matter has already been talked about by the media after the list of nominees came out.
The reason why "Schindler's List" can be filmed is inseparable from Zhang Yi's support. But they don't know that even if Zhang Yi doesn't support it, Spielberg can still make the film company compromise, shoot it, and shine at this year's Oscars.
At that time, Extreme Shadow Film Company was no longer a winner, but a loser.
It seems to be self-inflicted, but in fact, it is a victory in defeat. Of course, the reason why Zhang Yi supports Spielberg is not only because he knows that this movie will shine at the Oscars, but also because of Spielberg as a person, and the content of the movie itself.
Both the Chinese and the Jews are a people who have suffered a lot of disasters. Zhang Yi wanted to make a movie about Nanjing, but unfortunately he knew that he couldn't control that kind of movie at all.
It is not the scene of the movie that is controlled, but the connotation of the movie.
In terms of control of the movie scene, Zhang Yi is definitely the world's top-notch, but if it is the connotation of the movie, Zhang Yi has always lacked it. "Forrest Gump" has connotation, but unfortunately it stands on the basis of the original.
Let Spielberg shoot Nanjing big **?
A thought suddenly flashed in Zhang Yi's mind, but he immediately hesitated. He knew that Spielberg would most likely refuse.
Because it's too depressing to make a movie like this. Zhang Yi knew that when filming "Schindler's List", Spielberg almost broke down several times, and his family was with him at that time.
The host of this Oscars ceremony is Zhang Yi's acquaintance, black actor Whoopy. Godpao. This black actor who was won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress by Zhang Yi. And because of Zhang Yi's appearance, she filmed "Ghost Love" several years in advance, and her acting career has developed much better than before.
Generally, awards are awarded, and important awards are put at the end.
"The nominees for Best Visual Effects are: "Peak Warrior", "Nightmare Before Christmas", and "Inception"!"
In today's Oscars, every time a nominated film is announced, the wonderful moments of that movie will appear on the big screen. And this time, after the highlights of each movie appeared, there was a lot of laughter in the whole theater.
Even the two crew creators of "Subversive Warrior" and "Nightmare Christmas" also smiled helplessly. The vision of "Inception" has been said to be a shock beyond the times, how to compare?
"Well, I think a lot of people have already guessed it. Yes, the one who won the best visual at the 66th Oscars was "Inception"! Congratulations! The award presenter smiled and said.
"Inception" gets the best visuals, it's undisputed and there is no suspense. However, there was applause from the audience.
Zhang Yi smiled, didn't go up, but gave Lan Naicai a look. Lan Naicai was stunned for a moment, then his eyes darkened, nodded, and walked up.
He knew that Zhang Yi asked him to go up for this award, so his nomination for the best cinematography was estimated to be hanging.
Zhang Yi asked him to go up, in fact, in addition to this reason, there is also the visual aspect, Lan Naicai has made great contributions.
The original Inception did win Best Cinematography, but Schindler's List also won Best Cinematography. When two meet, who can tell. And the habit of those judges of the Oscars is likely to be "Schindler's List".
Of course, "Inception" is not without opportunities, and many places in it will be different from the original, not all of which are made of special effects, but through guò photography and props and then with special effects.
"Inception" has such a shocking effect, in addition to the special effects technology, the cinematography plays a huge role. (To be continued.) )
