N-M Chapter 289 Oscar’s historic moment
Chapter 289 Oscar’s historic moment
By the time Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Connelly released their embrace, John Woo could already see her crying tears of joy, and he didn't know whether the woman was acting or showing her true feelings.
To be honest, he has always felt that many actresses' acting skills are much better on the podium than on the set. This was the case with Halle Berry in Black Pearl last year. It was really a performance with both voice and emotion.
After Nicole Kidman walked onto the stage, she elegantly brushed away the tears on her face and said with a hint of tears: "Jenny told me not to cry, but I really couldn't help it! I'm sorry!"
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose and turned around to adjust her makeup. The audience immediately gave a burst of encouraging applause and cheers.
The camera also showed Jennifer Connelly in the audience. She smiled and applauded tenderly like a good sister, showing off the friendship between the two to the American audience.
When Nicole Kidman turned around, she had put on a smile again, and mentioned Wu Yuchen:
"My heartfelt thanks to Wu Yuchen. He boldly used me and gave me a lot of help during the filming. He is really the best director in the world!"
The live broadcast also showed Wu Yuchen, who was smiling lightly, giving everyone a sense of calmness. In an instant, all the actresses in the audience had Nicole Kidman's words firmly imprinted in their hearts.
First, there was Gong Li, who won the Best Supporting Actress, and then Nicole Kidman, who won the Best Actress. These two important actress awards were won by Wu Yuchen today.
And if you add Jennifer Connelly's Best Actress nomination and the Best Supporting Actress she won last year, then Wu Yuchen's ability to win actresses has been perfectly demonstrated through these Oscars!
How could this not make these Hollywood actresses excited? Oscar, the honor that filmmakers and actors all over the world are chasing!
Not to mention the actresses, even the actors were very excited. You must know that Wu Yuchen previously won the Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor for the actors in the film with "The Sixth Sense" and "Beautiful Mind". Nominated by the Lord once each. The reason why he failed to win the award twice was because of special circumstances. The little boy was too young, and Russell Crowe had just won the Best Actor in "Gladiator" the year before. It was difficult to win the prize, otherwise he would have changed. I might actually be able to take it off personally.
All in all, the actors in the hall, regardless of gender, as long as they have ambitions for Oscars, are eager to get involved with Wu Yuchen at this moment. If they can really get his fancy, there is no doubt that Oscars will be very promising!
Not to mention that Wu Yuchen's movie itself has become a signature, with its own appeal and exposure. Even if it doesn't win an Oscar, it will at least be a commercial success. Which actor can refuse this?
At this moment, Wu Yuchen didn't seem to notice at all the blue-eyed and golden-haired "goblins" in the hall staring at him like a monk, and he was just listening to Nicole Kidman's thank you speech on the stage.
Now that we have reached the stage of Wu Yuchen, there is actually no need to take into account the thoughts of most people. For example, when he first arrived in Hollywood, he had to quarrel with Stallone while filming "Black Hole Frequency" and spend a lot of time coaxing him. Now, which actor would dare to put on airs in front of him?
After the new actress came down from the stage, she passionately whispered into Wu Yuchen's ear: "Thank you, Wu, I will repay you!"
Wu Yuchen smiled and said softly: "I'm looking forward to it~"
Tonight's Oscar has now entered the second half of the second half, which is the climax. Every subsequent award is actually related to Wu Yuchen.
The next award is Best Adapted Screenplay, and he is a nominee for "The Hours." However, this award did not fall into his hands, but was won by "The Pianist".
Next up is the best original screenplay. Wu Yuchen was nominated again with "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas", and this time he was not disappointed again:
"Winner...Wu Chen, "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"!"
This not-insignificant award is a small surprise for Wu Yuchen, because he himself has not spent too much energy on this award, and he has once again demonstrated his reputation as a "master of script creation" to Hollywood!
Well, he used to be a "creative genius", but with the improvement of Wu Yuchen's status, he has now been promoted to a "creative master".
Far away on the Internet in China, as Wu Yuchen won this award, a group of netizens were discussing it lively.
"The sixth Oscar winner! Director Wu!"
"Isn't that right? The Oscar-winning actress just opened her mouth to thank Director Wu! Wu Yuchen personally praised her for this, and she will probably be grateful for the rest of her life!"
"Thank you, Director Wu, for helping my goddess realize her dream!"
"Nicole Kidman is indeed beautiful, even among white people~"
"Yes, I feel so good when I see such a beautiful star opening and closing her mouth to thank Wu Yuchen in front of the whole world! Beier is so proud! Director Wu is so proud of us Chinese people!"
"I won another Best Original Screenplay. This year is considered a success. I feel like there is little hope for the next two awards."
"Ah? Why do you say that? Wu Yuchen was nominated for the next two awards!"
"Hey, for the best director, we refer to Director Wu's last double nomination, and Li An. After all, he is Chinese, so he still suffers a bit!
"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is a foreign language film. It is already a big deal to be nominated for the best picture. It is impossible to award it. Last year, Wu Yuchen's "Beautiful Mind" won the award because it was an English film. There is some hope for "The Hours", but according to my analysis of the best films in the United States, "Gangs of New York" and "The Pianist" have the greatest hope. So, let’s just take a look at the next two awards. "
"That's it! Alas, I was thinking that Director Wu would be nominated for two awards for the next two awards, so I have high hopes..."
"Be content, Wu Yuchen has already won many awards, and even helped Gong Li win the Best Supporting Actress~"
Thanks to the influence brought by Wu Yuchen, many people have learned a lot about Oscar in recent years, and their analysis is very clear. Although many people have full confidence in Wu Yuchen, many people have lowered their expectations for the future and are already satisfied with the current gains.
Wu Yuchen at the scene was unaware of those discussions thousands of miles away. At this time, he was staring intently at Harrison Ford, the 60-year-old actor in the "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series who had just waited on stage. Still looks handsome and stylish. What he is about to award is the best director!
"From the beginning, when people use art and science to create movies and bring them into our lives, the person at the helm is the director! This year's best director candidates are..."
“The Pianist, Roman Polanski;
"Gangs of New York," Martin Scorsese;
"Every Moment", Wu Yuchen;
"The Boy in Striped Pajamas", Wu Yuchen;
"Speak to Her" by Pedro Almodovar. "
Wu Yuchen looked at the five heads that appeared on the big screen. Two of them were of him. This was the second time that he had won double nominations. It would be no exaggeration to say that this was unprecedented.
Not only the people currently sitting in the theater, but also many viewers watching the live broadcast, can recall that this scene seemed to have happened once two years ago.
This is also an advantage that Wu Yuchen deliberately created. At that time, the main purpose of choosing to take time to shoot "Every Moment" was for the present. If he didn't get a double nomination last time, he would get a double nomination again. He was also deliberately reminding the judges that you can't turn a blind eye to a director who got double nominations twice, right?
This time for the Best Director, Wu Yuchen has really done everything. In addition to double nominations, he also chose to shoot an anti-war theme that suits the time. He specifically asked Spielberg to divert some Jewish forces, secretly He also continued to spread the scandal about his opponent Polanski, and even chose to accept help from Disney.
To be honest, Wu Yuchen himself feels that he has done his best in all aspects, and he will probably never be so close to the best director again in any performance in the future. If he still can't win the Best Director award this time, then he really plans to give up and concentrate on making his commercial films.
At this time, someone who was in a similar mood to Wu Yuchen was Martin Lao. He has been competing for Oscars more times than Wu Yuchen. This time, "Gangs of New York" is also his hard work.
Moreover, in his opinion, Polanski, who has a large group of Jews behind him and is the most threatening, has such a big black mark on his own that he will definitely have no hope of winning the award. The only person who threatens him is Wu Yuchen, which is equivalent to choosing one from two in this class. He is the most promising. What a hope!
Even Polanski, who dared not set foot in the United States, was nervously watching the live TV broadcast in Europe. Although he cannot come to Hollywood for public relations in person, a large number of Jewish compatriots are actively helping him to build relationships. He knows how powerful their Jewish voices are in Hollywood.
When Spielberg came to "The Pianist" he wanted them to focus on Best Picture, but this is the Oscars. They want Best Picture, and they also want Best Director!
The only one who is relatively calm may be Pedro, the director of "Speak to Her". Their public relations power during the Oscar period is not enough, and they also know that their influence cannot compare with the other three, so there should be no hope.
"Everyone is a very good director with unparalleled talents, but there is only one winner tonight."
Harrison Ford opened the envelope and took out the note: "The winner is..."
Then he raised his head and announced loudly: "Wu Yuchen, "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"!"
The celebratory music sounded immediately, followed by violent applause and cheers in the Grand Theater. At this time, the camera was focused on Wu Yuchen, and you could see on the big screen that people on both sides of him were congratulating him happily.
As for Wu Yuchen himself, he didn't seem very excited, but his smile was a little wider than before, and his whole person still looked elegant and calm.
When Wu Yuchen heard that he had won the award, he was naturally heartbroken. The first thought that came to his mind was that he had finally won. He thought about all the experiences he had had in the year since he started competing for the Olympics. He was double nominated, was stabbed in the back by Disney, and later fought with Harvey. He was double nominated again this year, joined forces, and used various methods to finally win. At this moment As if vividly.
"Dear! Best director! You are indeed the best one!" Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Connelly rushed to give Wu Yuchen a hug.
On the other side, Gong Li was also excited and shouted to Wu Yuchen: "Director Wu, best director! You brought back the best director of the Oscar for us China! Our first best director of the Chinese, and the first best director of the yellow race. A best director!"
Whether it is Gong Li, Chen Baoguo, Huang Xiaoming, Shu Chang and other crew members, they are all very excited now. After all, before, they themselves had many doubts about whether Wu Yuchen could win the Best Director award.
You must know that the Oscars are other people's turf. The Best Director award has always been reserved for white people, and even black people have never gotten involved. But now, Wu Yuchen, a yellow man, has really won the Oscar for Best Director! This can be said to be a historic moment for the Oscars!
This is definitely a big surprise for the crew of "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"!
At this time, the crew of "Hero" kept cheering loudly. After all, Wu Yuchen's award is really meaningful. It is bringing honor to all Chinese people and to China. They are naturally happy as fellow Chinese.
While applauding, Lao Mouzi sighed inwardly. Not only did he lose to the other party in the Best Foreign Language Film, but now they have directly won the Best Director. This time I am really convinced that I have lost!
Wu Yuchen deliberately walked along the side of "The Boy in Striped Pajamas" and then hugged or shook hands with everyone on the set one by one.
The violent applause continued, and many people even stood up and applauded to express their respect, such as Spielberg, Soderbergh, Martin Lao, Little DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, etc., without any disdain. Wu Yuchen meant to waste time or rush.
After a while, Wu Yuchen got on the podium and took the trophy from Harrison Ford.
"Congratulations, Director Wu! If you need anything, you can contact me at any time~" Harrison Ford said softly with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Ford!" Wu Yuchen politely replied, and then walked to the microphone.
He looked at the little golden man in his hand, raised his head and said to everyone in the audience with a smile:
"Sorry, I didn't write a speech. I wrote it twice before, but I never got this award~"
Hearing what Wu Yuchen said, there was a burst of laughter from below, knowing that he was talking about the two previous nominations for Best Director, but in the end, he was sidelined and did not win the award.
Nowadays, Wu Yuchen is really an Oscar veteran. Even when he won the best director, he was calm and in the mood to joke, showing his humor and calmness. At the same time, he also won the love of many viewers in front of the TV. .
Then, Wu Yuchen continued:
"There are always moments of enlightenment in life, but now that I have received this award, I feel a little confused in my mind. I only know that I have received infinite love and encouragement from the Oscar judges, colleagues on the crew, peers, and people I admire. People and everyone here, this means a lot to me, thank you very much!”
The audience gave good-natured laughter and cheers. After the audience quieted down, Wu Yuchen's expression gradually turned serious and he spoke:
“It’s so happy but also really sad because it’s a moment to accept this award when there are so many people who have been hurt by war.
The process of filming this film made me particularly aware of the suffering that war brings to people, the inhumane evil deeds and the destruction of war. These sometimes keep me awake at night. This is really terrible.
I want to thank my parents. They taught me a lot about war and life, which have benefited me a lot. Thanks to China, the location of this film and the place where this painful history took place, I received a lot of help during the filming process! "
Wu Yuchen paused for a moment, then glanced at the people in the audience:
“I pray for a swift and effective solution to the ongoing war.
Whether it is those whose homes have been violated, or those young people who have no choice but to obey orders and go to the battlefield under military orders; whether you believe in Jesus or Allah, the Three Pure Ones or Buddha, whether you are a theist or an atheist, I I hope you can be blessed!
Sincerely, I wish for world peace! "
After finishing speaking, Wu Yuchen bowed slightly to the audience.
Suddenly, everyone in the entire Grand Theater stood up and gave him and his declaration of peace thunderous applause and respect that lasted for a long time!
