Chapter 578: The Youngest and Just the Game

Xinglang graphic live broadcast room.

"Oh, and the person in charge of presenting the Best Director award is Oscar-winning actress Reese. Witherspoon, presumably friends who follow the Oscars will not be unfamiliar with her, directors Qingsong and Xiaoshuai, before presenting the awards, let's finally talk about your predictions for the awards! "Supporter Yu Qingbo.

"There are five nominees, but Lang. Howard, Stephen. Dudley, David. Finch is almost certainly out of the game and will almost certainly be out of the game with Lin Yuquan and Danny. Ball, from a personal emotional point of view, I hope Lin Yuquan can win the award, and from a rational analysis, Lin Yuquan should also be the one most likely to win the award, before that, he has won the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Award, the Golden Globe Award, and the Directors Guild Award for Best Director, almost swept the Oscar sentinel battle, which fully shows his popularity among his peers and film critics, in fact, except for the disadvantage of age, in any aspect, he is higher than Danny. Bauer. "Cheng Qingsong.

"Qingsong's analysis is based on the results of the sentinel war, I think it should be seen this way, everyone knows that this Oscars is held in the shroud of the financial crisis, in the uneasy situation of the financial crisis, the Oscars must hope that their awards can reflect the attitude towards the financial crisis, in the five films, whether it is "Wild Story: The Rise of the Apes" resistance under oppression, fighting for national freedom, or "Slumdog Millionaire" as long as it persists in adversity, The theme of winning a life is in line with the spirit of optimism and positivity towards the financial crisis, but "Slumdog Millionaire" is more realistic. "Wang Xiaoshuai.

"That is to say, Director Xiaoshuai, what do you think Danny. Bauer is more likely to win. Yu Qingbo.

"Yes. Most of the old white male members of the Oscar Academy are there. Relative VFX blockbusters. They clearly prefer Slumdog Millionaires, a more humanistic and realistic film. "Wang Xiaoshuai.

"I don't think so, Xiaoshuai, your analysis is more suitable for the best picture, in the Best Picture award, because of the more practical significance, and perhaps because of the skin color, "Slumdog Millionaire" is slightly ahead, but the award for Best Director is not, first of all, Lin Yuquan's overall directing level is in Danny. Bauer's. Secondly, the overall quality of the film is also above "Slumdog Millionaire", and Lin Yuquan's age is an obstacle but not an advantage, Oscar definitely doesn't want to be considered to be deliberately defeating Lin Yuquan because of age, if Lin Yuquan's level is worse than others, but this is obviously not the case, in this way, Oscar was forced to have no other choice. "Cheng Qingsong.

"Okay, let's wait and see." Yu Qingbo.

Inside the Kodak Theatre.

"At this point, we have witnessed all the artistic elements that make up a film, but there is one person who has not yet been mentioned. That's the director, and everyone in front of the TV can understand them as the CEO. It's the big guy in power, the ultimate boss, oh, well, one of them doesn't need to be understood, but lives up to the name. ”

In Reese. When Witherspoon said this, the scene rang out with laughter one after another, and the TV camera switched to Lin Yuquan, who couldn't cry or laugh on his face.

Reese. Witherspoon continued: "And on the set, they will also become your brothers, parents or psychiatrists, they may even become negotiators, in case an actor stays in the nanny car and refuses to come out, don't worry, it's definitely not me, everyone knows who it is, yes, Ben. Stiller. ”

Reese. Witherspoon said it seriously, but the scene erupted in laughter. Stiller made fun of himself, and now it's someone else's turn to make fun of him.

"A director must know how to work with people, find inspiration from artists in various fields around him, and then combine them into one to faithfully present the creative intention of the screenwriter." As Witherspoon spoke, the crimson curtain behind her slowly opened, revealing a wide screen showing images of the five Oscar nominees at work.

"Working with the cinematographer to translate it into an image, helping each actor to grasp how to interpret the role, designing every shot, making everything that appears on the screen relevant to the story itself, and checking all the components of the film, so that the overall artistic effect of the film can be sublimated, that's what the directors are doing, and our next five directors are undoubtedly the best among them, and the best director is nominee." Reese. Witherspoon smiled brightly: "Danny. Bauer, Slumdog Millionaire. ”

With Reese. Witherspoon's soft voice sounded on the TV screens of hundreds of millions of viewers across the United States and around the world. The scene of Bauer's location, only Danny. Bauer smiled happily, and everyone around him smiled and applauded.

"David. Finch, Benjamin. The Curious Case of Barton. "David. Finch's personality is not too cheerful, but when he appears on the TV screen, you can clearly see that he is smiling hard.

"Lang. Howard, Foster Talks to Nixon. "Lang on the TV screen. Howard laughed and applauded.

"Lin Yuquan, "Savage: The Rise of the Ape Race." "Oh", the TV suddenly burst into amazing applause and cheers, Lin Yuquan had a charming smile on his face, and beside him, Mr. and Mrs. Pete, Anne. Hathaway applauded enthusiastically with a smile on her face.

In the bottom of his heart, Lin Yuquan has actually begun to get nervous, in this awards season, all the efforts made by the public relations team are for this moment, what box office is enough, the Oscar is still for others to take, that's all, if you can take it, who will not want to get it, not only because you want to take it, but also because of family and friends, fans, as well as the crew, the company, and all the Chinese people, everyone hopes that he can get such an award.

"Stephen. Dudley, The Reader. "Stephen on the TV screen. Dudley wasn't very excited, and his smile was calm.

"The Oscar winner is." Reese. Witherspoon opened the envelope in his hand, and the TV screen was divided into six compartments. Except Reese. Witherspoon Outside. The five nominees have different expressions and demeanors. But there was no smile on his face, Danny. Bauer clasped his hands together and seemed to be particularly looking forward to it. Dudley supported his cheek with his right hand, as if he didn't care about the result, Lin Yuquan's expression was extremely focused. Howard and David. Finch's expression was calm, and he leaned forward slightly.

Except for Reese. Outside the sound of Witherspoon opening the envelope. At this moment, the Kodak Theater was silent, Liu Yifei bit his lip, his body trembled slightly and stared at the TV screen, Liu Shishi held his breath, his face turned red, and he felt that he was about to suffocate, Wang Luodan clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes did not blink

Time seemed to slow down abruptly, but the envelope was finally opened, and he glanced at the name on it. Reese. Witherspoon read out the results of the award with a smile: "Lin Yuquan, "Savage: The Rise of the Ape Race". ”

"Oh. It's Lin Yuquan. At the moment when Lin Yuquan's name was pronounced, the entire Kodak theater suddenly boiled. Ledger and Jerry. Lewis's award, there was only applause at the scene, but this time it was not only the deafening tidal wave of applause that filled the space, but also the biggest decibel cheers, screams, and whistles since the award ceremony.

At the moment when the award was announced, Lang. Howard gave a standing ovation, and Stephen. Dedley gave a standing ovation, and David. Finch shook his head and gave a standing ovation. Ball also joined the standing ovation after the huge loss, and Kate Wins. Wright gave a standing ovation, Meryl. Streep gave a standing ovation, Will. Smith gave a standing ovation, and Robert Jr. Downey gave a standing ovation, except for Lin Yuquan, everyone in the entire Kodak Theater gave a standing ovation, and all this sound was not only for Lin Yuquan, but also for this historic moment.

Yes, it was a great and glorious historic moment since the 4th Oscars in 1931. Taurrog won the Best Director, after 78 years, history was finally rewritten, and on the night of February 22, 2009, the youngest Oscar Best Director in history was born! At the age of 25 years and 157 days, Lin Yuquan broke the rules of the past 78 years by Norman. Taurrog held 32 years and 260 days, in one breath advanced the record by as many as 7 years, I have to say that this is a terrifying record, 32 years and 260 days can still be maintained for 78 years, so what about 25 years and 157 days? For a long, long time, maybe even forever, this will be a great record that future directors can only look up to.

"Oh, Lin, congratulations!" "The youngest Oscar Best Director in history, congratulations Lin, you have once again created an incredible miracle!" "Lin, congratulations, this night is yours." In the deafening waves, Brad. Pete, Angelina. Julie, Annie. Hathaway and others sent their blessings.

I won the award, won the Oscar for Best Director, and won the highest honor that countless directors around the world aspire to, at this moment, Lin Yuquan's mind was blank, and then surprise, excitement, excitement and all kinds of emotions rushed up frantically, filling his mind, but the strange thing is that he felt extremely empty, as if his real self was not so excited, as if the Oscar was not so great, but more relieved, because he did not disappoint the people who supported him.

Why is this so? Almost mechanically, he got up and shook hands with the people around him and hugged him, well, Annie. Hathaway still kissed him, her lips were soft, and then she came to the stage mechanically, from Reese. Witherspoon took the trophy in his hand and hugged her, it seemed that he hugged her very tightly, she was over thirty years old, her figure was well maintained, and her breasts. The department is full and plump, and he also kisses his face, until he stands in front of the microphone, he is still thinking about this problem, and when his eyes touch the audience, he seems to faintly feel that from Lin's father, Lin's mother, Andy. Serkis, Vary. Pfister, Howard. Xiao and the others were excited and happy, and he finally had the answer.

Lin Yuquan didn't know if he would have won this award if he hadn't made a bid for the Olympics to publicize it, but at the moment when he decided to treat the Oscars as a game, he was actually doomed to lose the heartfelt emotion for this kind of award that seemed to be bought with money, as if it was just a gain or loss of interests.

He hates this feeling, what about the Oscar Best Director, than spending money on the Oscars to buy such an award, he enjoys the pure award without other factors, and enjoys the satisfaction and joy of seeing the fans and audiences after watching the movie, which is what he should pursue.

As for the Oscar, of course he will find a way to get more in the future, but not for himself, but to let the people who support him get joy from it, followed by chasing interests, as long as Oscar needs to bid for public relations one day, and there are all kinds of prejudices one day, he will treat Oscar as a game.

Lin Yuquan believes that he is not alone, because he sees that many awardees are not very excited after winning the Oscars, and many people regard the Oscars as a springboard for chasing fame and fortune.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, and his expression became quite relaxed: "Oh, is it really me who won the award?" It's great that I didn't become the seventh Directors Guild Award winner to not win an Oscar, and thank you to the Academy for hearing my wish and granting me. ”

"Haha." The scene resounded with laughter one after another.

"I knew this, when I gave my acceptance speech, I should have hoped that I would not become the 13th American Directors Guild Award winner who did not win the Oscar for Best Picture, Lang, you are right, but unfortunately it is too late." Lin Yuquan spread his hands, Lang. Howard laughed and clapped, and in the midst of the real laughter, he continued: "My biggest fear right now is that the academy thinks I don't want to win Best Picture, so they deliberately excluded 'Savage: Rise of the Apes' from the voting, which is a tragedy, and God knows how much I want to win Best Picture." ”

"Haha." The laughter suddenly became louder.

The smile on Lin Yuquan's face also became more and more: "If I will be incoherent later, don't feel strange, because I don't have the habit of writing testimonials in advance, hi, Kate, to borrow the way you just now, my parents also came to the scene, let me see your figure, wow, I saw it, don't ask me why I can achieve so much incredible, you should ask my parents, yes, it's them, they gave birth to and nurtured me, thank you." ”

In the TV broadcast camera, Lin's father and Lin's mother were smiling at the same time, their eyes moistened.

"And then I want to thank all the creative staff involved in Savage: Rise of the Apes, forgive me for not being able to thank you all one by one, 45 seconds is too short, and I don't think it's so fair to just say the names of some of them, because you're all part of the film, so here I collectively say thank you, thank you for all that you have done for the film, without that, there would be no film that was an unprecedented success last year, and I wouldn't be standing on the podium now."

Thunderous applause rang out in the Kodak Theater, where actors, screenwriters, art directors, photographers, soundtracks, costume artists, makeup artists, special effects crews, producers, and editors were all applauding.

"And then I would like to thank my family, my friends, and all the people who support and like me, it is because of your existence that my life is so wonderful and interesting, you are the biggest source of my creation, thank you!"

The deafening applause rang out again.

"Finally, maybe I'll be a little arrogant when I say that, but shouldn't young people be more high-spirited? So I'm going to announce it loudly to the world, this is the first time I've been on this stage to receive this award. Lin Yuquan pointed to the trophy in his hand as he spoke: "But this is definitely not the last time, I hope everyone will give me a witness, I will come back, and that day will definitely not be too far away, thank you!" ”

"Haha!" Amid laughter and frantic applause, shrill whistles echoed throughout the Kodak Theater. (To be continued.) )
