Chapter 288 As expected of Wu Yuchen, he has it as soon as he takes action!
Gong Li didn't look like a newcomer accepting the award on the stage. She was elegant and graceful. After all, she was a woman who had won podiums all over Europe.
"I am very honored to receive this award for my performance in the movie "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas." I think of my mother teaching me when I was 17 years old not to care about other people's eyes, to be brave enough to be myself and to pursue my ideals. . At this moment, standing here, I think my mother should be proud of me!”
The audience immediately burst into friendly applause and cheers.
After a moment of silence, Gong Li continued: "This award does not only belong to me, but also to many people in the audience. I would like to thank Director Wu Yuchen, every member of the crew, and those who have been on my film path." , people who have helped me, thank you!”
Lao Mouzi clapped his hands vigorously. Without asking, he knew that Gong Li's last words were meant for him, which made him feel quite touched.
As soon as Gong Li won the award, it had spread to the land of China thousands of miles away through the Internet.
"Gong Li won the award! Best Supporting Actress!"
"Huang Gong has won the Oscar. Now she is complete. She has won all the major awards!"
"Didn't John Woo predict that the two Chinese-language films would win a total of 5 awards? Now there are 3. I wonder if it will exceed 5?"
"Director Wu's prediction is quite accurate. It would be good to win 5 awards. Best Foreign Language Film is more promising. There is only one award left, and I don't know which award it will come from."
At the same time, many people were sitting in front of the TV, watching the "Oscar Direct" program specially created by the Sixth Princess. The TV program must be delayed compared to the Internet. After a few minutes, the host happily announced to everyone:
"According to on-site news, Chinese actor Gong Li won the Best Supporting Actress at the 75th Academy Awards for her outstanding performance in "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas." She is also the first Chinese actor to win the Academy Award for Performance. Actor! Let’s congratulate Gong Li!”
These days, the spread of television is much greater than that of the Internet. The news that Gong Li won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress spread throughout the country. Word of mouth spread quickly, attracting more people to turn on the TV. The opportunity comes to catch up and watch.
And in Los Angeles, the Oscars are still underway. At this time, Hollywood's big-mouthed Julia Roberts stepped onto the stage. She smiled and said:
"It's an honor to present this award for Best Cinematography. I think it's an excellent honor because without the lens, there's no movie!"
In the audience, both Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi were reminded that the two films "Every Moment" and "Hero" were shortlisted for this award.
"The winner is... Du Kefeng, "Hero"!"
La la la la, amidst the applause, Lao Mouzi happily hugged a foreigner. Du Kefeng is actually a foreigner from Australia, but he grew up to be a top photographer on Hong Kong Island and has basically won all the Chinese photography awards.
On the other side, Wu Yuchen also gave a friendly applause. The plot of the "Hero" movie may have a lot of faults, but its graphics and photography have really reached a very high level, and many beautiful shots are eye-catching. Don't forget, it is indeed worthy of an Oscar award.
In the next award for best documentary, the winner is "Bowling at Columbine," a documentary that reflects gun murders and gun control in the United States. This is not the point. The point is that the director was quite fierce. He sprayed Xiaobu heavily on the podium:
“I love documentaries, I don’t like fictitious stories, I don’t like living in fictitious lies, letting our fictitious election elect a fictitious commander, and he sent us to the battlefield for fictitious reasons!
Xiaobu, we are against this war! We are ashamed of you! When you hear so much opposition, you should know that your time is numbered! "
To be honest, although everyone in Hollywood claims to be anti-war, no one dares to criticize as fiercely and straightforwardly as this guy, so much so that the organizers had to play the curtain call music and urge him to get off the stage, for fear that he would shout Say something even more outrageous.
Then, a pair of handsome men and beauties stepped onto the stage. The woman was Charlize Theron, known as the "South African Beauty", and the man was actor Zun Long, one of the representatives of Chinese actors in Hollywood. These two actors jointly presented the award, so of course it was the Best Foreign Language Film Award!
Zunlong smiled and said: "There are different movies from all over the world. Movies in various languages will make people experience the world very differently!"
Charlize Theron then said directly: "The following are the candidates for the best foreign language film this year..."
The five candidate films flashed through in sequence, starting with "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" and "Hero" from China, the other three were "The Crime of Padre Amaro" from Mexico, "The Man Without a Past" from Finland, and "The Man Without a Past" from Germany. "Nowhere to Home".
When it was time to open the envelope, the South African beauty made a gesture of invitation to Zun Long. She knew very well that the reason why Zun Long was appointed as the award guest for the Best Foreign Language Film this time was precisely because of the existence of two Chinese-language films. And it's likely to win, so Charlize Theron deliberately let John be the one to announce it.
At this time in the audience, the directors of several crews had fully cheered up. Lao Mouzi was also a little nervous at this time, although he himself also knew that Wu Yuchen's "The Boy in Striped Pajamas" was the most likely to win the award. But it is not impossible for him and "Hero". After all, he has already won two awards before, which shows that many judges are still optimistic about "Hero". And in terms of the theme of the movie, "Hero" ultimately expresses the reduction of war and the pursuit of world peace. It is also anti-war!
At this time, Wu Yuchen was the calmest. After all, he had participated in the Oscars several times and he had already won the Best Foreign Language Film, so he could naturally remain calm.
Zunlong opened the envelope, took out the note, glanced at it, and announced into the microphone:
"Best Foreign Language Film...China, "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"!"
Suddenly, Lao Mouzi felt a sense of disappointment in his heart, but it was not very strong. After all, he had expected it before coming, and he clapped his hands to congratulate his compatriots.
On the other side, the crew of "The Boy in Striped Pajamas" was already in a state of joy, with Huang Xiaoming excitedly hugging the people around him.
At this time, Liu Qianqian was sitting in front of the TV watching the Oscars live broadcast. Since SARS broke out in China and schools began to close, Liu Xiaoli took her daughter abroad to "escape" and waited until SARS was over before going back. Therefore, Liu Qianqian can directly watch the Oscars live broadcast on ABC TV.
When she saw Wu Yuchen getting up and hugging several people around him, and seeing her good friend Shu Chang at the Oscars, celebrating with Huang Xiaoming beside her with her hands raised, Liu Qianqian showed envy in her eyes, Chang Chang has even made it to the Oscar!
Although the segment of "The Golden Family" starring her has started to air, and due to SARS, people are watching TV at home and has achieved extremely high ratings, but can this be compared with the Oscars?
A moment later, Wu Yuchen strode onto the podium. Charlize Theron took the initiative to hand over the statuette to John Wu. She would never give up this opportunity to contact Director Wu again.
Then the South African diamond gave another hug: "Director Wu, congratulations! This is really an excellent movie. I watched it more than once, and I shed tears every time!"
Wu Yuchen smiled and nodded to Charlize Theron, said thank you to Zunlong who congratulated him, and then walked to the microphone:
"I'm really happy to receive this award! This film means a lot to me. It is a tribute from me and the crew to all the people who have experienced the suffering of my motherland and the Chinese nation during the tragic war years. An elegy. I don’t want anyone to be hurt by war again!”
Wu Yuchen's words echoed in the hall, and he was immediately greeted with applause and cheers. Everyone knows that "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is a typical anti-war movie, full of delicate emotions. When the war in Iraq breaks out, it is most appropriate to win the best foreign language film.
"This award not only belongs to me, but also to every member of the crew! Thank you..."
Then, Wu Yuchen began to thank him one after another.
At this time, the Sixth Princess had also received the news, and the host excitedly shouted to the camera:
"The Boy in Striped Pajamas! Best foreign language film! The best foreign language film belongs to China!"
Afterwards, the host adjusted his mood and returned to the official broadcast:
"The 75th Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film was won by the Chinese film "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas." This is also the second time director Wu Yuchen has won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for a Chinese film after "Love"! Let’s congratulate director Wu Yuchen for “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas”!
At this moment, many people who are stuck at home because of SARS are communicating enthusiastically online:
"Hahaha, I won the Best Foreign Language Film! As expected of John Woo, he won it right away!"
"Congratulations to Director Wu! He has won two Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film for China. He is awesome!"
"Hahaha, plus this, the Chinese film has already won 5 Oscars, reaching the goal mentioned by Wu Yuchen!"
"Alas, it's a pity that Zhang Yimou and "Hero" are the only ones."
"What a pity! Even for the plot of "Heroes", it couldn't win the Best Foreign Language Film! It's already great to win the Best Cinematography, so what else do you expect?
Although "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" has not been broadcast yet, since it is an anti-Japanese film, I will support it unconditionally! Congratulations to The Boy in the Striped Pajamas! Long live Director Wu! "
"I have already watched it in America. "The Boy in Striped Pajamas" is 10,000 times better than "Hero"! I cried to death! My Xixi and Xiaochun! What a bloody little life! Traitors and lackeys deserve to die!"
"I envy you so much! I don't know when it will be released in China. The SARS epidemic is going on now, so cinemas will definitely not be able to open!"
"There are already pirated copies online, but they were all secretly filmed in movie theaters and are not clear. I don't recommend everyone to watch pirated copies."
"Who the hell is going to upload the high-definition video to the Internet!"
"Don't worry, based on my experience, once it is released on a large scale after the Oscars, especially overseas, high-definition pirated copies will be released immediately, soon, soon~"
In the program "Oscar Direct", a lot of information about "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is being introduced at this moment, and they also dug up many behind-the-scenes stories during the filming. Although this movie hasn't been released yet, it has really whetted everyone's appetite, it's quite satisfying!
After Wu Yuchen steps down, the next award will still be related to him, Best Editing.
"Winner for Best Film Editing..."The Hours"!"
Wu Yuchen immediately led the crew of "The Hours" to start applauding. In fact, he himself didn't really care about this award, but "The Hours" was already nominated for the fifth time, and finally started to win awards, which was considered a slap in the face to the crew. One breath.
After a performance, Halle Berry, the last Oscar-winning actress, took the stage to present the Best Actor award.
As Wu Yuchen expected, the best actor this time was won by Adrien Brody of "The Pianist". Regardless of the blessing of Jewish power, his performance is really great. At the age of 29 this year, he also became the youngest actor to win an Oscar.
At this time, Nicole Kidman, who was sitting next to Wu Yuchen, couldn't help but become nervous. With the award of the best song and a lifetime achievement award, it was about her and she had been working hard for it for several years. The Oscar-winning actress is coming!
The black actor Denzel Washington came up and said without any nonsense: "This year's Oscar Best Actress nominees are as follows..."
Jennifer Connelly watched her performance clips playing on the big screen and kept an elegant smile. She knew that she had no hope in this year, so she could only show her grace at this time.
Wu Yuchen looked at the nominated Diane Lane and "Unfaithful". She is also a very charming beauty and has a good figure. She really exposed a lot in "Unfaithful" and her performance was great. Extremely. Just because of her, Wu Yuchen watched this movie more than once in his previous life.
The play ends and the exciting moment arrives: "Best Actress is...Nicole Kidman, "The Hours"!"
Nicole Kidman couldn't hold her face any longer, covered her mouth, and then immediately showed a very bright smile. Facing the hug from Wu Yuchen, she directly touched both sides of Wu Yuchen's face and said excitedly in his ear:
"Wu, thank you so much! I will never forget your help to me as long as I live!"
Wu Yuchen patted her smooth back gently and said with a smile: "Nicole, you deserve this. Go ahead, now is your moment~"
On the other side of Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Connelly, who had previously wrestled with Nicole Kidman in private on the bed, immediately gave her a hug, and Nicole Kidman also hugged her and smiled. What they are saying seems to the audience to be like good sisters with a deep love for each other!
