The busy time undoubtedly goes very fast, when "Love Call Transfer" is preparing for the casting of actors, Lin Yuquan is also discussing the details of the shooting with the strong behind-the-scenes team of the crew, because Tan Dun and Ye Jintian and others are busy or have just participated in Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet", the main creative team behind "Painted Skin" is naturally very different from "Red Cliff".

In the art department, which is almost second only to the director's department, Lin Yuquan invited Zhang Shuping, who can be called Wang Jiawei's royal art director, and Xi Zhongwen, who is famous in the industry and just collaborated with Chen Kexin in "If Love" last year, to be responsible for the most fundamental art design for the color sense and scene of the whole movie, and lead the service department.

In terms of photography, Lin Yuquan invited the well-known cinematographer Lu Le, who was born in the photography department of the Kyoto Film Academy, and he has collaborated with Zhang Yi on "Alive", "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma's Bridge", "Something to Say" and other films, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography, although he did not win the award, he is definitely one of the top cinematographers in China.

The soundtrack is the position that Lin Yuquan struggled with for the longest time, and once considered the famous Japanese soundtrack master Jean Hisaishi and Kitaro, but he still gave up, and finally he chose Zhao Jiping and the famous composer Hu Weili to jointly create the musical effect of the film.

As for the action direction, he is still in charge of it himself.

Props, sets, lighting, photography, with the further improvement of shooting details, it is getting closer and closer to the start of "Painted Skin" carefully prepared by Lin Yuquan.

At this time, the media naturally paid attention to the upcoming filming of the annual masterpiece "Painted Skin", with a strong cast, a strong behind-the-scenes creative team, and of course, the hottest director Lin Yuquan, there is no reason for the media not to pay more attention to this film, and many websites have established a "Painted Skin" column like "Red Cliff". Track and report the news of "Painted Skin" throughout the process.

Soon, the media reporters became excited again, because Lin Yuquan flew to the United States again. And not only the domestic media, at this time. The eyes of the world's major media have coincidentally converged on Los Angeles, USA.

Kodak Theater, mentioning this name, as long as you follow the Oscars, I'm afraid no one doesn't know it. The theater on Hollywood Boulevard in California was designed specifically for the Oscars and has been a permanent venue for the Oscars since its opening on November 9, 2001.

Because of the relationship between Oscar-winning guests and media reporters, the biggest feature of the theater design is that it is a large character and can accommodate 3,400 spectators, and has one of the largest stages in the United States. It is 120 feet wide and 75 feet deep, and can accommodate up to 1,500 journalists in the press room behind the stage.

On March 5, 2006 at 5 p.m. EST (March 6, 2006 at 9 a.m. Kyoto time), the 78th Academy Awards were being held in this world-famous theater.

As in previous years, the Oscars will be preceded by a video featuring the nominated films and their hosts, and this year's video is about finding the host of the awards gala.

At the beginning, it was the classic shot of the tent of "Brokeback Mountain", the tent was lifted, and the two appeared on the screen. Roark and Billy. Christo: "I can't do it right now, I'm busy. I'm also busy. Then the picture turned, and the bald detective Steve. Martin sat on the couch with his two children: "Oh, I can't do it this year. This year, I plan to spend more time with my children, so that they don't grow up to be hosts, so find someone else to host! Then the camera turned on the black movie star Whoopi. Gordonburg doorway: "Oh, no. Immediately followed by the appearance of talk show host David . Lightman's figure: "I'm sorry, I'd love to, but no, I'm going to spend more time with Martin's kids so they don't mess up." "And then there's Mel, who is with the snow natives. Gibson: "No, I can't. ”

Finally, the camera falls to a bed. The host of this year's awards ceremony, Jon Brown. Stewart was sleeping when he was suddenly woken up by a phone call. "Oh. I had a very strange dream, oh my God. They want me to be an Oscar host? "At this time, the sexy Hallie. Berry was lying next to him and was firing at him, "Really, how do you know it's a dream?" "It's because I think that's true." "It's the same with the blanket, in my dreams." "Wake up", "Let me close my eyes again." At this time, George in pajamas appeared on the bed again. Clooney, "Is this a dream?" "No", "Great", "Let's start", and so, the award ceremony began.

"Thank you very much, thank you, thank you all, I'm very excited to stand here, good evening, everyone, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jon. Stewart, welcome to the 78th Academy Awards, it's an exciting night, and tonight, we're celebrating together the hundreds of millions of people watching the Oscars live, half of whom are planning to be watched live by Angelina. Julie adoption, I'm also waiting for I think the Oscars are the place where you can see the most stars, and don't donate any money to the US Democratic Party

So I want to say, if any of you are involved in illegal piracy, don't do it, look at these obviously, you're stealing their stuff, look at those stars, some people can only afford the clothes that just cover their breasts "Capote" is an earth-shattering movie that breaks taboos and lets everyone know that not all gay people in America are macho cowboys, Some of them are real New York intellectuals, and this year we'll introduce the award presenters in order of talent, and well, our first award presenter, Nicole Kidman. ”

Jon. Stewart's witty ridicule made the scene laugh from time to time, Lin Yuquan was also laughing, this should be the most entertaining one of his participation in the awards ceremony, the host had a good time, all kinds of ridicule continued, from the film to the director to the actor to the US government, everyone became the object of his ridicule, which can not be seen in other places, the only pity is that there is no food like the Golden Globe Awards, so I can only wait until after the awards ceremony.

"The winner of the Oscar is 'Cinrena,'" Nicole Kidman, dressed in a white evening gown, resounded on the stage.

Like the Academy Awards, the first award at the Oscars was Best Supporting Actor, and the winner was George Brown. Clooney.

See here. Lin Yuquan inevitably thought a little funny, whether it was like the Academy Awards, and finally George. Clooney's Good Night. Good Luck once again failed to materialize.

Of course, his attention also quickly became focused. Because in George. After Clooney's acceptance speech, it was time to present the award for Best Visual Effects.

The award for Best Visual Effects was presented to the American comedian Ben Carrey, who is second only to Jim Carrey. Stiller, who appeared on stage today in a green bodysuit, was very comical.

"Tonight, I'm going to give an award for outstanding visual arts, or I should say, thank you for the miracle of screen technology, look at my head. Actually, it's not on me anymore."

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a comedy superstar, Ben, Stiller's exaggerated actions caused the audience to laugh, Lin Yuquan was of course laughing, unlike previous awards, this time he was not nervous when he was nominated for competition.

"The Oscar winner is King Kong (in fact, the special effects team member who read the award ceremony)."

Although Lin Yuquan was slightly disappointed, he still smiled and applauded, in fact, in addition to "World War", the nominated "King Kong", "The Chronicles of Narnia" and his own "Red Cliff" all have extremely high visual effects, and "King Kong" is indeed worthy of this award.

"Hey, that's a shame. "Red Cliff" missed out on the first nomination tonight, and I absolutely love your VFX. ”

"Yes, but King Kong deserves this award. I don't know what you guys think, but I think "King Kong" should be nominated for Best Picture, and there are various factors that didn't get the nomination, mainly because of the whole social psychology of Hollywood last year."

At this moment, countless people around the world are discussing the results of this award, if the most regrettable must be the country, as the only three Chinese participating in this Oscar, and now the hottest director in China, countless people have high hopes for Lin Yuquan's trip to the Oscars, and it is of course regrettable that he has suffered a nomination defeat now.

Fortunately, at this Oscars. "Red Cliff" was shortlisted for four nominations, and it is not terrible to fail one. There is still a chance later, so the attention of major domestic live broadcast media has turned to another award that will be awarded to "Red Cliff" next.

Xinglang Entertainment's graphic live broadcast area. The host Zeng Zihang and several invited guests were discussing this topic.

"The next award is to award the Best Animated Feature Film Award, and after this award is the turn of the best costume design, this award is more important and very interesting, in addition to Lin Yuquan's "Red Cliff", there is also Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, Yang Ziyun starring "Memoirs of a Geisha", let's ask Zhou Liming to guess, who will win the award in the end?" Moderator: Zeng Zihang.

"I don't know anything about costume design, I guess 'Red Cliff', because the armor costumes in this movie are really eye-catching, although they don't quite match reality." Famous film critic Zhou Liming.

"What about Director Liu?" Zeng Zihang.

"As a woman, I love the kimono in Memoirs of a Geisha, it's beautiful, but as a director from Kyoto Film Academy, I definitely have to support my young brother, who is now the pride of our Kyoto Film Academy, and if he wins, he will be the first Kyoto Film Academy student to win an Oscar." Independent director Liu Miaomiaodao.

"Of course, I think any Chinese people hope that Lin Yuquan will win the award, in fact, I said it interesting just now, because Lin Yuquan is the first to be shortlisted for this nomination as a director, if he wins, he will be the first director to win the best costume design award, this is a record-breaking move, I hope it can be realized, it is worth mentioning that if it is the costume designer of "Memoirs of a Geisha", Colleen. Atwood won the award, which is her second after "Chicago" in '03. "Zeng Zihang.

"It's really interesting, it's really worth looking forward to."

The awards at the Kodak Theatre have been going on and on, and next up is Best Animated Feature Film, which went to "The Curse of the Dog-Man-Rabbit". After Parton sang the theme song of "Crossing America" live, "Six Gunslingers" won the best live-action short film, "The Moon and Son" won the best animated short film, and then the best costume design award, Lin Yuquan's attention was focused again. (To be continued)

ps: I originally planned to finish the Oscars with one chapter, but I found that this Oscar is a very wonderful Oscar, with Li Yu, Lin Yuquan, and three major actresses participating in "Memoirs of a Geisha", if one chapter is written, I'm so sorry for it, and the second chapter will be delivered at about half past 10.
