March 16.

In the evening, 5:30 p.m.

At the entrance of the Holy Auditorium in Los Angeles, a long red carpet was laid from the end of the road to the auditorium.

Both sides of the red carpet were blocked by iron bars, and journalists, media and fans from all over the world, holding their cameras and video cameras, turned on their flashes, and excitedly waited for the opening of the annual Academy Awards.

The first fifteen Oscars were held in the form of banquets in hotels, but later due to the increasing number of participants, the awards had to be held in the theater instead.

Therefore, starting from the 16th Oscars, it has been held at the Chinese Grand Theater, the Holy Auditorium in Los Angeles, the Melrose Street Theater, the Pantages Theater, the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, and the Los Angeles Music Center.

It was not until after the turn of the millennium that the Oscars were fixed at the Kodak Theater.

Li Yange, who was sitting in the car, looked at the crowded crowd in front of him and the long queue of traffic in front of him, and couldn't help but ask Ryuichi Sakamoto beside him, "When is it our turn?" ”

As the crew of "The Last Emperor", which won ten awards nominated for this year's Oscars, it has already become a popular call from the public, so from the director to the music production, they all have to walk the red carpet, but because the organizer has limited the number of people, in addition to the two leading actors, Bertolucci, Li Yange, Ryuichi Sakamoto and several others walked brown sugar.

"I think it's like the third one to play."

Sakamoto Ryu pointed to a black sedan in front of him and said, "When the director in front of us walks out of the car, we will just get out of the car." ”

Hearing this, Li Yange nodded slightly, looked sideways at the crowd outside the car window, and thought of Cheng Shaojun in her mind, she should enter the theater behind Ning Ying, right?

Ryuichi Sakamoto suddenly said: "The car has moved, it's our turn!" ”

Li Yange looked up and saw that the black car in front of him was already slowly driving towards the red carpet.

The driver of his own car also followed.

After a while, when the two cars stopped in front of the red carpet.

Director Bertolucci took the lead in getting out of the car, and Zunlong took Chen Chong's hand and walked down together.

"It's time for us to get out of the car!"

After saying that, Ryuichi Sakamoto opened the car door and walked down.

Li Yange also got out of the car after him.

When the group got together, the host who presided over at the end of the red carpet said: "It was the great director Mr. Bertolucci who led the crew of "The Last Emperor" to come over. At this year's Academy Awards, "The Last Emperor" was nominated for ten awards, the most nominated film among the films in this year's exhibition, and now director Bertolucci seems to be happy to wave to the reporters and fans around him, let's congratulate them on their triumphant return! ”

Journalists' area.

Two reporters from the Xinhua Bureau in the United States saw the crew of "The Last Emperor" walking slowly, and one of them hurriedly asked: "Xiao Zhuo, have you seen Li Yange?" See him no? ”

Zhuo Jun on the side, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly glanced at the group of people who were walking towards him, and after seeing Li Yange standing behind Chen Chong, he said busily: "Brother Zhang, I saw it, behind Xiaohua!" ”

Zhuo Jun is also a senior movie lover, and when he was sent to the United States, he liked the role of "Little Flower" played by Chen Chong very much, so he still calls each other "Little Flower".

When Zhang Ruida heard this, he immediately stood on tiptoe and looked over, and when he saw Li Yange, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Li Yange, Li Yange is here!" Li Yange here, we are from Xinhua News Agency! ”

At this time, Li Yange, who was walking slowly behind the director and others, heard the familiar mother tongue in the shouts of the English people around him, remembered what Ning Ying said before, he looked left and right, and found two reporters shouting their names in the direction of the reporter's area.

"Can I go over?" Li Yange asked the dragon below.

Zun Long looked in the direction he pointed, and saw two Asians who were suspected of being Chinese, and said with a smile: "Of course, do you want me to accompany you?" ”

"Let's be together, then."

Li Yange thought about it, called Chen Chong who was posing there, and the three of them walked over together.

Zhuo Jun and Zhang Ruida didn't expect the two leading actors and Li Yange to come over together, but Zhang Ruida reacted quickly and said: "Zhuo Jun will interview Zun Long and Chen Chong later, and I will interview Li Yange." ”

"Okay!" As soon as he heard that he would interview "Little Flower", Zhuo Jun nodded violently.

As soon as the three approached, Li Yange asked, "Are you from Xinhua News Agency?" ”

"Yes, we are reporters from the Xinhua Bureau in the United States, my name is Zhang Ruida, and this is my colleague Zhuo Jun."

Zhang Ruida nodded and said, "The president heard that a comrade from China won the Oscar, and specially asked us to come over to interview you, I wonder if Mr. Li has time?" ”

"Now?" Li Yange frowned, looked at Bertolucci and others who were also being interviewed by reporters on the red carpet, and turned around and said, "I'm afraid there is not enough time now." ”

Zhang Ruida hurriedly said: "It's okay, we're just asking a few questions now, and if you are free, Mr. Li, I hope to give you an exclusive interview so that it can be published in Xinhua Daily here in the United States." ”

"Yes."

Li Yange didn't think about it, so he nodded and agreed, what is the nature of Xinhua News Agency, he is very clear, the largest news and communication organization in China, under the central government, can be said to be straight to the sky.

"Then I congratulate Mr. Li on being nominated for the Academy Award for Best Composition, I wonder if Mr. Li has thought about his chances of winning?"

"I don't know about this, after all, it's the organizer of the Oscars who presented the awards, and I'm already very happy to be nominated."

“……”

After asking a few questions, Ryuichi Sakamoto came over and called the three of them away, there is a set time for walking the red carpet, a crew of five to ten minutes at most, otherwise it will delay the crew who enter the venue later.

"Mr. Li, we said that we will go to your hotel tomorrow to give you an exclusive interview."

"No problem."

Li Yange smiled and waved his hand, and after saying goodbye to Zhang Ruida, he followed the director into the auditorium.

The layout of the auditorium is similar to that of a movie theater, and there are already many people sitting here and there.

So as soon as Li Yange and the others entered, there was a special answering staff who led them to the seats in the front row and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Li Yange asked Cheng Shaojun beside him, "When did you come in?" ”

"We just came in, and I just saw you walking the red carpet outside, how do you feel?" Cheng Shaojun smiled, she had just entered the auditorium from another passage with Ning Ying and the others, and it was a few minutes earlier than Li Yange and the others.

"I don't feel anything, it's just that the flash is too harsh."

In Los Angeles in March, the night came quickly, when Li Yange and others walked the red carpet, it was already dark outside, and those reporters and fans all turned on the flash with their cameras.

Fortunately, it was just the time when I got out of the car.
