Chapter 194: The Chinese shine at the Oscars and prepare to return home!

After five years, the Chinese-language film once again won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Before Wu Yuan, there was already a Chinese-language film that won this award, and that was Li Yu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Before "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Li Yu was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film with two films, "The Wedding Banquet" and "Eating Men and Women".

It's just that at that time, this matter was not known and cared about by mainland fans at all.

It wasn't until the award of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that mainland fans paid attention to the Oscars.

Then under the fanfare of "Hero", this award was canonized.

Now, the popularity that Zhang Weiping hyped up back then, and the forced style created for this award, are all cheap Wu Yuan.

In China, when Wu Yuan held the little golden man, public opinion on the Internet exploded.

Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also won this award, Li Yu is not a mainland director after all, and mainland fans still want to see a mainland film win an award.

Now that a mainland director has finally won this award, it must be blown up!

On major film forums, post bars, QQ groups, Douban groups and other online social platforms, there is news about Wu Yuan and "Love" winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Regardless of the netizens who have not watched this movie, they are all cheering and calling Director Wu awesome!

It is now noon in the capital time, which is the most lively time on the Internet, and the news of Wu Yuan's award is like a depth charge, which has exploded on the mainland Internet.

As soon as possible, the video of his award was circulated everywhere on the Internet.

With the release of "Painted Skin", Wu Yuan's popularity that had just weakened was pushed to a high point again.

"Director Wu won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film that Zhang Yimou didn't get, does it mean that Director Wu is better than Zhang Yimou?"

"I can't say that, the director of Yimou has a golden lion and a golden bear, and the Palme d'Or is short of the three major European Grand Slams."

"But he didn't have an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film."

"This Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is not so evil, right, before "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the award, I didn't hear how powerful it was?"

"But director Yimou didn't win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film."

"How good can this award be compared to the Golden Lion and the Golden Bear Bull?"

"But director Yimou didn't win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film."

On the Internet, at least today, Wu Yuan can be said to be overpowering many big directors in China.

Especially Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Weiping's crazy hype on "Hero" was swallowed by Zhang Yimou this time.

It's a pity that on the night of today's Oscars, the light does not belong to Wu Yuan alone.

The perspective pulls back to the award ceremony.

After the award for Best Foreign Language Film was presented, the award ceremony continued.

Although in China, the awarding of this award caused a warm sensation, and netizens rushed to tell each other to celebrate Wu Yuan.

But in the eyes of North American audiences, the award for Best Foreign Language Film is just a minor award, because most of them have not seen the films for which they are nominated.

In addition to lamenting that the award-winning director is so young and handsome, the attention of the North American audience was quickly attracted by the other awards that were presented next.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Ziyi also took the stage as an award presenter and presented an award for the Best Editing Award.

This year is really a year of high spirits for the International Chapter.

One award after another was given.

When the award ceremony is carried out here, the awarding of each award will cause countless excited shouts from the audience at the scene and in front of the TV.

The award for Best Actress went to Reese Witherspoon for "Walking with the Song".

In 2001, she was nominated for the Best Actress Award in the Musical and Comedy Category at the 59th Golden Globe Awards for the romantic comedy film "Legally Blonde".

This time, his performance in the music biographical film "Walking with Songs" was finally recognized by the old man of the academy and successfully sealed.

The Best Actor award was awarded to Philip Seymour Hoffman.

With his excellent performance in the biopic "Capote", he successfully became emperor.

The Best Actor and Actress awards were awarded to the leading actors of biographical films, and it can be seen that the old men of the academy prefer biographical films.

It is no wonder that there are more and more biographical films in the later years.

And the Best Director Award was not surprisingly won by Li Yu.

When award presenter Tom Hanks pronounced the name "ANG LEE", the audience and the audience gave enthusiastic applause, and Li Yu also jumped up and hugged the surrounding crew members.

"THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ANG LEE HAS WON AN OSCAR AND THE THIRD TIME HE HAS BEEN NOMINATED."

The announcer on the scene was introducing Li Huan, but obviously their introduction was not quite right, Li Huan should have been nominated for the fourth time, and it was also the second time he won the Oscar.

If you narrow it down to the Best Director award he won, it would be the first time he has been nominated and won.

Obviously, the Oscar staff made a low-level mistake when writing the script.

But no one on the scene cared about this little mistake anymore.

"As the director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he once won the Best Foreign Language Film Award for Taiwan Island.

It was another broadcast introduction, but Wu Yuan and others on the side of the "Love" crew frowned and were a little dissatisfied.

What does it mean to win the Best Foreign Language Film award for Taidao?

Lao Mei just likes to inadvertently stir up the nerves of cross-strait contradictions.

Holding back the unhappiness in his heart, Wu Yuan listened carefully to Li Yu's acceptance speech.

Fortunately, the Oscars just dared to flirt like this, when they reported "Love" before, they counted Ang Lee's nominations for Best Foreign Language Film into Chinese movies.

Otherwise, it should be reported at that time that "Love" is the second Chinese film to be shortlisted for best foreign language film, not the fifth.

"I made this film shortly after my father passed away, so the most important thing is that I dedicated this film to him."

"Finally, thank you to my family, my mother, and everyone who cares about me."

"Thank you!"

Holding the little golden man, Li Yu walked down from the podium.

His award also caused quite a stir on the mainland Internet.

After all, when Li Yan said his acceptance speech, he said a lot of thanks in Chinese.

Simple mainland netizens now have the impression that Taiwan is still a family of compatriots on both sides of the strait.

There is a director from Taiwan Island who can win the Oscar for Best Director, of course, everyone is also celebrating, and even the light of Wu Yuan winning the best foreign language film has been divided a lot by Li Yu.

However, Li Yu's award also means that the power of the Chinese will stop here tonight.

If you get the best director, you won't have a chance with the best picture.

In the end, the best picture of this year's Oscars was won by "Crash", which is a work that is very unfamiliar to mainland fans and has never been released in the mainland.

But the heroine of this movie, Wu Yuan, is very familiar, it is Sandra Bullock.

Yes, it's the top actress of Hollywood whose luck was all cut off by the light era.

When the award presenters announced the award for "Crash", Wu Yuan applauded very hard, and when the live camera captured him, the audience in front of the TV was a little surprised.

"Does Director Wu know Paul Haggis, the director of "Crash"?" In the domestic broadcast room, Chen Kaige and Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at each other.

At this point, the 78th Academy Awards ceremony came to an end.

Although this year's Oscar is not a big year, it is definitely the most perfect Oscar for Chinese fans.

Wu Yuan won the best foreign language film, Li Yu won the best director, and "Memoirs of a Geisha" starring Zhang Ziyi also won three awards: Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Editing!

For domestic fans, after watching the live broadcast of today's Oscars, they have the illusion that Chinese filmmakers have gone to the world and even become an important part of the world film industry.

Maybe it's not a delusion.

Half past ten in the evening Los Angeles time.

The Oscars are over, and the live broadcast has been disconnected, but backstage at the ceremony, there is still a press interview waiting for all the award-winning guests.

"Daniel, how do you feel about winning Best Foreign Language Film?"

"I'm just very happy and excited, which proves that Chinese films are getting closer and closer to the world!"

Holding the little golden man, Wu Yuan was also surrounded by many reporters backstage.

"Daniel, will Love be released in North America? When will it be released? ”

"Of course, it will be released in North America, it is expected to be in April, and then the audience in North America can also go into the cinema to watch this movie, this is a very profound movie, I believe there will be many fans who like it."

"Okay, so can you tell us about your work schedule for next year? In addition to "Pirates of the Caribbean", do you have any new films from Hollywood to meet fans? ”

"Yes, "Rush Hour 3" directed by me has just been completed, and I will meet the audience at the end of this year or the beginning of next year."

"Rush hour series, I don't need to introduce more, this is Cheng Long's masterpiece in Hollywood, fans who like Chinese kung fu will definitely fall in love with this sequel!"

One reporter after another kept stuffing the microphone in front of Wu Yuan to interview him, trying to dig more news out of his mouth.

At this time, a crisp Chinese Q&A came out of the group of reporters.

"Director Wu, congratulations on winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film! Fight for Chinese movies! ”

A female reporter wearing a CCTV sign squeezed into the group of reporters with difficulty, raised her hand and asked loudly: "When do you plan to return to China, and when will your sci-fi blockbuster "Gravity" officially start?" ”

The female reporter had a worried look on her face.

She is really afraid that Wu Yuan will be obsessed with the vanity fair of Hollywood, and will be infatuated with the extravagant and depraved life of the capital empire, so she will focus on Hollywood and no longer pay attention to the mainland audience and market.

After all, today's mainland film market and Hollywood are really not competitive.

Wu Yuan, who wants a box office and awards in Hollywood, why should he go back to the mainland with a total box office of 2 billion a year?

The total box office of the Chinese mainland in a year is not as high as the global box office of Wu Yuan's "Pirates of the Caribbean"!

The reporter himself was a little confident.

However, when she looked up at Wu Yuan's eyes, what she saw was a pair of clear and translucent eyes.

Wu Yuanwan smiled and said in Chinese: "My work in the United States has been handled, and I will return to China in two days." ”

"There are still a lot of things and work waiting for me to deal with in China."

"As for "Gravity", it may not be launched until the end of the year, in November and February."

"As the first sci-fi blockbuster in the mainland, this movie is also a very risky attempt for me, many links are done for the first time, and it takes a long time to prepare for the first time, and I can't rush it."
