"Hey, I knew it was going to be good news." In the early morning of Hengdian in winter, the weather was extremely cold, but Liu Yifei's delicate face was full of excitement.

"Yes, my baby is the best." With the end of the last round of voting, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association announced the results of the 34th Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards in the early hours of this morning, and finally he won the Best Director and Best Cinematography awards for "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race".

Liu Yifei's pretty face was slightly raised, and she was extremely helpful to Lin Yuquan's praise, and said a little unwillingly: "It's a pity that I didn't get the best picture, it would be better if I won the best picture again." ”

"I think this result is very good, the overlap rate between the best picture and the Oscar is so low, it may not be a good thing to get it, and it is not bad to win the second place." Lin Yuquan said with a smile, unlike many awards, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards will announce the second place in the major awards, so as to more comprehensively nominate for the Oscars, although it did not win the Best Picture Award, but "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape" also won the second place very bravely.

As for the Best Picture award, "Wall-E the Robot" won it, which is as incredible as his "Wild Tales: Rise of the Apes" award, in fact, after learning about the past awards of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, he has little hope of winning the Best Picture award, because the Los Angeles Film Critics Circle Awards have been awarded to blockbusters like "Star Wars" and "E.T." 30 years ago.

In recent years, critics have increasingly gravitated towards serious feature films, such as last year. The association awarded the best picture to "Scarlet Black Gold". There have also been films such as "Letter from Iwo Jima", "Brokeback Mountain" and "A Cup of Life". It can be said that it is not easy for "Robot Wall-E" to win the award this time.

What's more, "Wall-E the Robot" is still an animated film, and before that, no animated film won the Best Picture award at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards. Not only the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, but also in the 80-year history of the Oscars, there is no precedent for Best Picture to be an animated film.

For his "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" failed to win this award, just like his relaxed tone, Lin Yuquan himself didn't care much, and the Shanji Film Critics Association Award may be an important bellwether for the Oscars. However, it is only a weather vane, and its significance is to evaluate the success rate of Oscar awards, so that Hollywood observers have a clearer list of the best films of the year, and from the past ten years, in the best picture award, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award and the Oscar have completely deviated.

In fact, he is happier to win Best Director than to win Best Picture, not only because it is a personal affirmation, but also because in the past decade, 100% of directors who have won this award at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards will be nominated for an Oscar. Five of them have won the Grand Prix.

In contrast, the significance of winning the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Picture may be more as one of the bellwether of the Oscars. Since the '90s, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards have only missed the Oscar nomination for Best Picture twice.

However, Lin Yuquan will not have the slightest envy for this, whether he can win the award or anything for the time being, for his "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, he still has a lot of confidence in his heart, if even "The Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" cannot be shortlisted, then either the academy judges reject commercial films, or the high quality of this year's films is incredible, to be honest, the possibility of these two situations is really unlikely.

"Well, it's better to win an Oscar than a Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, and this award will be left to "Wall-E the Robot"!" Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"That's right, okay, get up, wash up, and get ready for the morning shoot." Lin Yuquan patted the girl's jade back.

While Lin Yuquan was busy with the filming of "Immediate Rescue", major media around the world reported enthusiastically on the newly released Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, among which, in addition to North America, the media in the Chinese-speaking Taiwan Strait and the three places were undoubtedly the most active and enthusiastic.

Prior to this, Zhao Fei won the Best Cinematography Award as early as 1992 with Zhang Yi's "Hang the Red Lantern", followed by Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" in 1993 and Best Foreign Language Film, Zhang Yi's "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma's Bridge" won Best Cinematography in 1995, and Li Yu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won Best Film, Best Cinematography and Best Art Design in 2000. Four awards for best soundtrack, Yang Dechang's "Yiyi" won the best foreign language film in the same year, and in 2005, it was another bumper year, not only Li Yu's "Brokeback Mountain" won the best film and best director awards in one fell swoop, and Wong Kar-wai's "2046" also won the best art design.

Although it has won a lot of awards, but for winning awards abroad, naturally no Chinese people will feel much, not to mention that this year is another bumper year, in addition to Lin Yuquan's "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" won the best director and best cinematography two awards, in the case of many people have no illusions, Jia Zhangke's "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" unexpectedly won the best foreign language film award.

And the report is not only limited to the results of the awards, but also predicts the nominations and awards of "Savage: The Rise of the Ape" and "Heartbeat" in the future. Just in the early morning of December 11 tomorrow, the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, which are also important weather vanes of the Oscars, and the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, will announce their results. And tomorrow night, the nominations for the 66th Golden Globe Awards will be announced, and the Oscar outpost continues to heat up.

As for "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", well, "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" was already a film three years ago, and it did not qualify for the Olympic bid this year, and at the same time, the film that won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival has limited influence in China.

Although the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards are not very heavyweight. But winning an award is, after all, an honor. Lin Yuquan naturally received congratulatory calls or text messages from many people. Of course, wishing him in advance to continue his efforts at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards and win the award is also something that must be mentioned in the phone call or text message.

And the second daughter is more concerned about winning the New York Film Critics Circle Award than Lin Yuquan himself.

"Yuquan, how many awards do you think you can win?" Liu Shishi's soft and pleasant voice came from the phone.

"Ahem." Lin Yuquan suddenly had a headache, he now had the most headache for the second daughter to ask him this question, because of this question, he couldn't give a definite answer at all, so he could only smile bitterly: "I don't know, you also know that I haven't seen other nominated films until now." There is no way to analyze and judge, if you look at the situation in the past few years, since "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" won the best film in 03, in recent years, it has been dominated by literary sketches that praise the independent film industry. Scorsese won the Best Director award for "Infernal Affairs", but that award was more than Martin. Scorsese's qualifications are related, and in general, the situation is not very good. ”

Due to the strong influence of Lin Yuquan and "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", on this day, countless people across the Taiwan Strait and three places set their eyes on the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, which are about to be announced.

On this award: Chinese filmmakers have also gained a lot, so far. has won 14 awards, among which Li Yu won the best director in 1995 and 2005 with "Sense and Sensibility" and "Brokeback Mountain", "Brokeback Mountain" won the best film, Zhang Yi's "The Red Lantern Hangs High", Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine", Yang Dechang's "Yiyi", Wong Kar-wai's "In the Mood for Love", Wong Kar-wai's "2046" won the best foreign language film in 1992, 1993, 2000, 2001, and 2005, "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma's Bridge", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", " In the Mood for Love", "Hero", and "2046" won five Best Cinematography, and Gong Li also won the only award for Chinese actors in this award for her outstanding performance in "Farewell My Concubine" - Best Supporting Actress.

So what about Lin Yuquan and "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" this time? Whether they can expand the achievements of Chinese filmmakers as they wish is a question that countless people are concerned about.

As soon as the time came, Lin Yuquan asked Liu Yifei to rest early.

Far away on the other side of the ocean, in New York, USA, when the time came to 1:40 a.m. Kyoto time, with the end of the tense final round of voting, the 74th New York Film Critics Circle Awards officially announced the results. Pan and Josh. Brolin took home the trophies for Best Actor and Supporting Actor respectively.

Best Director went to one of Britain's most well-known contemporary film directors, Mike Brown. Lee won the award for "Carefree", and this is the second time he has won the award, after he won the award at the 65th New York Film Critics Association Awards for "Singing and Playing" and won Best Picture. Hawkins won again.

In addition, Penelope, who has performed well in many awards. Cruz, "Wall-E the Robot" and "The Tightrope Walker" continue to maintain their undefeated status in the Best Supporting Actress, Animation and Documentary awards.

As for "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes", which created a crazy box office myth this summer and attracted the attention of countless people around the world, it almost failed and finally won the best cinematography.

"Oh, why is this happening, even if it doesn't win the best movie, why doesn't it even get the best director, who else can do better than Brother Yuquan at the age of 25." Early the next morning, after learning the results of the award, Liu Yifei suddenly exhaled.

"It's nothing, I didn't get this award, and there were many people who won the award later, such as Steven. Spielberg, who won two Oscars for Best Director for "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan", did not win this award in the first place, and Peter Brown. Jackson and James. Cameron, they both won the Oscar for Best Director, but they didn't win Best Director at the New York Film Critics Association Awards once. Lin Yuquan, who has an extraordinary memory, said like a few treasures, in order to comfort the indignant girl, but his heart is still somewhat uncomfortable, it is true that the New York Film Critics Association Award is not a major influential award, but its significance is that it is forward-looking for the subsequent Oscar awards, in the past 10 years, there are 8 finalists for the Oscar nomination for the Best Director award, and five of them finally won the award, such a probability of winning the award inevitably makes him a little worried about winning the Oscar for Best Director.

In comparison, the award for Best Picture has only coincided with the Oscars twice in the last 10 years, so he doesn't mind so much, but he just doesn't mind that much, and no one will dislike winning more than he won.

"Whew." While exhaling lightly, Lin Yuquan suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, in fact, with his mentality, he shouldn't care so much about the results of the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, completely because he hadn't seen other nominated films, and he lost to the other party inexplicably without knowing whether the other party was good or bad, which was a little unhappy.

Fortunately, this situation is expected to end soon, and when he finishes the filming of "Immediate Rescue" and makes time to watch the popular award-winning movies, he will have a judgment in his heart, and there will be no psychological gap.

"That's right, it's because they don't know the goods, Brother Yuquan, you will definitely get the Oscar for Best Director, and they will regret it when the time comes." Liu Yifei said with a high spirit.

Is it so easy to win an Oscar? While Lin Yuquan was amusing in his heart, he completely returned to his normal state.

Soon after, he received a call from Liu Shishi.

"Haha, I'm fine, didn't I just win the Best Film and Best Director awards? The New York Film Critics Circle Awards are not heavyweight awards, don't say this, otherwise I will really be out of action at the major awards in North America in the future."

Due to Lin Yuquan and "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" received huge attention all over the world, the winning results of the New York Film Critics Circle Award naturally sparked heated discussions around the world, film critics may be able to analyze why such an ending occurred from a professional point of view, but more fans and audiences are extremely dissatisfied with the result, why "Milk" and "Carefree" overwhelm "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", especially in the Best Director award, with Lin Yuquan's age, with the shocking and wonderful degree of the film, With the film's unbelievably crazy box office, they couldn't imagine why Lin Yuquan didn't win the award.

Mike. Lee is certainly an amazing director, and he has won the title of "Red. Naked", "Secrets and Lies", "Vera. Drake" has won the Best Director Award and the highest Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, in addition, the actor starring in his work has also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival, Venice Best Actor and Actress, Berlin Film Festival Best Actress and other heavyweight awards, but "Carefree" is not his personal best work, and even if it is his personal best work, he should not beat Lin Yuquan in the Best Director award. Because Lin Yuquan is too incredible, "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" is also too incredible.

"Boss, in fact, it should be a good thing not to win the New York Film Critics Association Awards, and we can make good use of this in the public relations of the Olympic bid later to achieve better public relations results." Chris came on the phone. Anderson's voice in the chest.

"Okay, it's up to you." Lin Yuquan chuckled, after collecting his emotions, for him, the past New York Film Critics Association Awards are just a small episode, in comparison, he is more looking forward to the announcement of the Golden Globe nominations later today, the Golden Globe Award is a heavyweight award in the world, and before this he has not been shortlisted for a heavyweight award other than Best Foreign Language Film.

So what about this time? Lin Yuquan waited for the result with great anticipation.

Not only him, but because of the attention of the Golden Globes, too many people around the world are waiting for the Golden Globe nominations to be released. (To be continued.)
