Offstage, Cheng Shaojun, who was sitting in the audience, listened to the endless applause in his ears, and looked at Li Yange on the stage with honor, with obsession, nostalgia, and a trace of panic in his eyes.

This kind of panic is not from others, it is from Li Yange, thinking of the situation a few days ago, Cheng Shaojun doesn't know how to face it, these days, the two of them look the same as in the past, talking and laughing, but they always feel that there is a sense of insurmountable estrangement.

This feeling of estrangement made Cheng Shaojun very uncomfortable, she didn't want this, she wanted to return to the feeling that the two of them got along before. It's just that because of the relationship between the two of them in age and identity, she can't choose to face it calmly for a long time.

"Perhaps, I should go to Dr. Mary and hear her opinion?"

Staring at Li Yange, who was bowing on the stage, Cheng Shaojun's eyes flashed a trace of uncertainty.

……

1988, January 15.

The Hollywood Post announced the list of nominees for the 60th Academy Awards, and at the same time, on the right side of the list, a text was published on which the last emperor was nominated for the top ten Oscars.

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, Best Composition, Best Foreign Language Film.

There are a total of 21 awards at this year's Oscars, and "The Last Emperor" was nominated for ten awards in one go, which is the film with the most nominations for this year's participating films, and it has overwhelmed the popular movie "Moonlight" at this year's Oscars.

You must know that in December last year, when this romantic comedy directed by Norman Jewison and starring Cher and Nicolas Cage was released in the United States, it quickly set off a movie-watching boom, and many newspapers and media praised it continuously.

When everyone thought that "Moonlight Sultry", a movie that was only released in December, would become the dark horse of this Oscar, "The Last Emperor" has not been favored, and gave these people a big slap in the face.

The film received ten nominations, and the happiest was director Bertolucci, who was almost excited, knowing that this film with an investment of up to $20 million, after the box office failure, he had not had a good life for most of the year.

Many peers are saying that Bertolucci is no longer good and has messed up such a big project, and I am afraid that few people will look for him to make this kind of blockbuster film in the future.

Hollywood studios, in particular, pursue the idea of box office supremacy, and once they lose at the box office, they face almost permanent hiding.

But with "The Last Emperor" being nominated for ten awards, it not only broke Bertolucci's remarks that he couldn't do it at once, but also gave him an extra guarantee for his future. It doesn't matter if you don't make any money, as long as you get back to your capital and you can still win the grand prize, then the sales of the videotapes in the future will not be bad.

In fact, it is true that after the Hollywood Post announced the list of Oscar nominees for this year, many people who hesitated to buy those movies in the video store to watch at home involuntarily chose according to this list.

First among them is "The Last Emperor", a foreign film nominated for ten awards.

In terms of the sales of video tapes, in just a few days, the sales that have only been sold in the past few months have been sold, and when the Oscars are awarded, I believe that the sales will rise a lot.

Bertolucci and the investment company behind him were happy, but two of them were sullen.

"Don't be discouraged either, I'm sure you'll be nominated for an Oscar in the future."

Looking at Zun Long and Chen's dejected faces, Li Yange can understand the mood of the two of them very well, to say something unpleasant, from the production of this film to the post-editing of the film, almost all important positions are nominated for an award, and there is a chance to win the award.

On the other hand, the two of them, a male protagonist and a female protagonist, should be the most brilliant people in this movie, but they can't even be nominated, let alone awarded.

"Of course you said that, you've been nominated for the Best Composition Award."

Because she was not nominated, Chen was full of loss, and she thought that her acting was not bad, but very good.

Especially when the plot entered Manchukuo, because of the needs of the plot, the heroine Wanrong had to eat flowers, Chen Chong agreed without saying a word, and ate the petals one by one during the filming.

In order to shoot that crying scene, Chen Chong didn't know how many flowers he ate, and his hands were pierced several times by the thorns on the flower branches, and in the end, because he ate too many flowers, he pulled his stomach for several days, and was almost sent to the hospital for this.

After months of hard work, he has not even been nominated for an award, so you can imagine how uncomfortable Chen Chong is.

And another sympathetic Zunlong, he is also very uncomfortable, he has made movies in Hollywood for many years, this movie is Zunlong thinks that he is the most likely to win the best actor, but who would have thought that not only did he not win the best actor, but he didn't even give a nomination.

"I have a lot of water for this Best Composition Award."

Li Yange tugged at the corners of his mouth and said: "There are three nominees for one award, if this is awarded, who do you say this trophy is for?" ”

Hearing this, Zun Long shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry about this, there have been many nominees before, and the Oscar organizer will make a trophy for everyone who belongs to him." ”

"Really? That's not bad. ”

Li Yange doesn't know much about the situation of the Oscar winning trophy, but listening to Zun Long say this, everyone can get a trophy, but he is also a lot more relaxed, he doesn't want to win the award when the time comes, and the three of them have to fight for the ownership of the trophy.

Immediately, Li Yange saw that the two were silent again, and thought about it carefully, it had no impact on whether Zunlong and Chen Chong won the Best Actor Award for this movie, so it seems that there is a high probability that there is no drama, but I know in my heart, and I still persuade: "Okay, isn't it just an Oscar?" Aren't there several film awards waiting for you later? Italy is the home of directors, and I believe there is a way to get you a David Award. ”

Hearing this, Zun Long nodded silently, there is nothing to look forward to, the David Award is just an Italian award, how can it be as important as the world-famous Oscar. On the other side, Chen Chong was full of joy, she pursued not only the Oscars, but all foreign awards.

In her opinion, as long as she can win more foreign awards, then her fame abroad will become higher and higher, and the greater her hope of staying in the United States as an actress.

……

After the nomination closes.

Li Yange and Cheng Shaojun returned to China on the plane the next morning.

Because of the re-establishment of diplomatic relations in '82, New York opened a direct flight to Guangzhou.

When I arrived at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, it was already the evening of the third day.

After dozens of hours of air flight, Cheng Shaojun was so tired that Li Yange, who originally wanted to fly back to Rongcheng overnight for the New Year, had to give up this idea and decided to stay in Guangzhou for a day, and happened to go to Li Qiang, a new era audio-visual company, to see how the album sales of Baojiajie at the end of the month had been in the past two months.
