During the Spring Festival in 2010, Wu Yuan spent it with Liu Yifei's mother and daughter in Los Angeles.

In order to have the atmosphere of the New Year, they also went to Chinatown together and watched a unique American lion dance.

Except for the Chinese compatriots who recognized them and took photos and posted them on the Internet, everything else was quite happy.

Anyway, for Wu Yuan, the Spring Festival is not a day that he attaches much importance to.

No way, you can't let a man who is the head of the household at the age of 16 look forward to and love this kind of family reunion day.

However, in recent years, Liu Yifei's mother and daughter have been accompanied by Liu Yifei during the Spring Festival, and Wu Yuan has once again found a little bit of home atmosphere.

ate a table of reunion dinner, watched the Spring Festival Gala with "jet lag", listened to the queen Wang Jingwen's comeback singing "Faye Wong", Liu Yifei lying in Wu Yuan's arms, but his mind was no longer in this Spring Festival Gala.

"Senior brother, are you going to attend this year's Academy Awards?"

"Go!" Wu Yuan nodded as a matter of course: "Although I don't really have any feelings about being shortlisted for the Best Foreign Language Film Award this time, the domestic public opinion situation is not ordinary." ”

"The movie "Gravity" is about to become a national business card of China, and the General Administration will apply for the Oscar Foreign Language Film Award as a representative of Chinese films, hoping that I, Gong Li, and Wang Xueqi can attend the Oscars as Chinese filmmakers."

"In recent years, the domestic film industry has been developing better and better, and the fifth-generation directors have been chasing the Oscars, making the Oscars more and more famous in China, and they all have the meaning of surpassing the three major in Europe."

"The General Administration must hope that "Gravity" can win the Best Foreign Language Film Award again and win glory for the country."

"We're going to be here then."

"You can go with me, too."

Wu Yuan has never understood why the North American Academy Awards in the decade of 2005-2015 in Huaxia will become the global film palace and authoritative award in the minds of Chinese people.

The Academy Awards has never been an international award, but a North American award only for Hollywood films, and its nature is similar to the domestic Golden Rooster Awards, Golden Horse Awards, and Hong Kong Island Awards.

You can say that he is an authoritative award in North America, and it is the most valuable award in Hollywood.

But to say that this is the temple of global cinema, Chinese films must be proud of winning Oscars, and Chinese actors are proud of winning Oscars, it is really nonsense.

This is an award that Americans play behind closed doors, what are you Chinese filmmakers going to join in?

The Oscars are not like the three major European film festivals, which are international film festivals, and they are for global films, and the films shortlisted for the main competition unit every year are from more than ten countries.

Only local films can be shortlisted for the main competition for the Oscars, and foreign films can only be shortlisted for the Best Foreign Language Film Award of consolation, which is similar in gold content to the Best International Film of the Golden Rooster and the Best Asian Film of Hong Kong Island.

Even if Li Huan has won the Oscar many times, it is because Li Huan is originally a director of Haolaiwu, and he is mixed in Haolaiwu, and it has nothing to do with Huaxia!

Wu Yuan also won the Oscar for Best Screenplay and was shortlisted for Best Movie with Juno, and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series also won several technical awards, and I didn't think it was much worth praise.

Why fifth-generation directors such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige are so obsessed with chasing the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film has never been able to understand Wu Yuan.

They are all directors who have won the three major European directors, as for the consolation prize of an Oscar, do you never forget?

"After "Love" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film last time, it has been boiling in China for a while, and if "Gravity" can win it again this time, it is estimated that this award will be won by China."

Wu Yuan sighed, a little helpless.

Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige charged the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film several times, but they didn't win it, but the award was full of gold.

The award that neither the Palme d'Or nor the Golden Lion nor the Golden Bear winner could get, was won twice in a row by Wu Yuan.

Then this consolation prize is really regarded as a god-level award by the domestic audience.

"I don't really want that." Wu Yuan said helplessly.

"Senior brother, don't be cheap and sell well." Liu Yifei stretched out his hand and tapped the tip of Wu Yuan's nose, and said angrily and funny.

"Director Zhang Yimou and Director Chen Kaige will be angry if they hear what you say!"

"Sure enough, those who are favored have nothing to fear, and those who can't get it are always in turmoil."

Saying that, Liu Yifei also hummed "Red Rose", the last singer on Hong Kong Island.

"Well, you haven't answered me yet." Wu Yuan rolled his eyes and asked again, "Oscar, are you going to participate with me?" ”

"The organizing committee wants me to bring my family and female companions, which is not a red carpet, it is an Oscar tradition."

"Generally, invited guests have to bring their families with them."

Liu Yifei's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will reluctantly attend as your family." ”

"When the time comes, if you win, I'll sit down and applaud you."

This year's Oscars are a big year.

In terms of box office, there is "Avatar", which is conquering cities around the world.

In terms of word-of-mouth, there is "Bomb Disposal Unit", which has won a lot of awards at the Oscars.

In the field of animation, there is also "Flying House" that is still a classic ten years later.

Plus "District 9", which is quite level in the field of science fiction films, the romance film "In the Clouds", and Quentin's "Inglourious Basterds".

What's more, "Weakness" produced by Light Times was also shortlisted for Best Film and Best Actress at this year's Oscars.

For the movie "Weakness", the script has been given to John by Wu Yuan very early.

The film was originally adapted from it.

Published in 2006, the book tells the story of a poor black boy from the slum who becomes one of the first drafted players in the National Football League.

To put it simply, it is full of the American dream.

When Wu Yuan gave Jonh a movie, there was only an outline story.

And he also bluntly said that the inspiration for the story itself came from a black player in the National Football League.

This kind of movie based on real people and real events, Wu Yuan can easily get around.

When the original book was published in 2006, although John was surprised by this, he only thought that the original author and Wu Yuan thought of going together.

It's just a coincidence that one of the two chose to write the story and the other chose to adapt it into a movie.

As a result, John bought the film adaptation rights of the original book of "Weakness" as soon as possible to fill the copyright loopholes.

The film also invited Gwyneth Paltrow, who has always worked well with the Light Era, to play the heroine.

Well, once again, a moment of silence for Sandra Bullock.

Who called Wu Yuan and John really didn't have any cooperation with Sandra Bullock

After the filming of this movie, it was released in the summer of 2009, and the box office performance was okay, more than 100 million US dollars in North America, and less than 200 million US dollars in the world.

With an investment cost of more than $20 million, it must have been earned.

Even John intends to award an award for the film's PR!

After so many years of development, Light Times is no longer satisfied with achieving results at the box office!

The company's wall of honor, it's time to place some trophies. (End of chapter)
