Chapter 413 A good start

The country pays special attention to this year’s Oscars.

Tudou Video and 1905 Movie Network will broadcast the entire event live, with commentary from outside guests.

"The Hunt" received five nominations, except for Best Actor and Best Cinematography, and the remaining three awards: Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay.

As long as Cheng Yu'an can win one, he will create the history of Chinese films.

Tudou Video even invited Professor Hou Keming, Cheng Yuan’s mentor, to the live broadcast room.

"He came specifically to see me before he left." Hou Kenming and host Liu Yan sat opposite each other. "He said that "Hunting" may be his only foreign language film, and he will only make Chinese-language films in the future."

Liu Yan continued: "So this year is probably the closest that Director Cheng will get to the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director?"

"Yes." Hou Kerming nodded, but then added, "If he wants to win an Oscar again in the future, the most he can do is win the best foreign language film."

Xu Shan, who was also a guest, asked Hou Kerming: "Mr. Hou, can't the best foreign language film win the best picture and best director?"

Hou Keming said: "The Oscars do not have such a rule. In theory, foreign language films can also be nominated for other awards, but no film has ever won the best foreign language film and the best picture or best director before."

As another guest on the Oscar live broadcast, Yang Mi also spoke up at the right time: "Who do you think Director Cheng's biggest opponent is this year?"

Xu Shan said first: "I like Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" and I think he will be a strong contender for best director and best picture."

Hou Kerming expressed his opinion: "I actually like Old Martin's "Hugo"."

Host Liu Yan also said: "Alexander Payne's "The Descendants" is also a big hit this time."

Yang Mi smiled and said: "When Director Cheng gave us an analysis within the company before, he said that The Artist is the biggest rival of The Hunt."

Liu Yan promptly added to her homework: "Judging from the previous awards, this is indeed the case. "The Artist" is almost as equal as "The Hunt", and it won the most critical Directors Guild Award."

Hou Keming frowned and commented on "The Artist": "I don't like movies like "The Artist". This is a very obvious movie to please the elderly conservative judges. Although the movie was born in black and white and silent, history still belongs to

History is good, but some things are now outdated.

"Furthermore, "The Artist" is not particularly eye-catching in terms of storyline or directorial skills. But his performance in the vane has to make people worry about how the group of 60- and 70-year-old judges will choose

.”

Hou Kerming's words appeared in text form on Weibo at that time.

Some netizens interpreted this passage and thought: "Professor Hou is complaining for his disciples.

"Cheng Yu'an is his most proud student, but none of the Chinese-language Three Gold Medals, including Golden Rooster, have ever favored Cheng Yu'an's films. Mr. Hou's criticism of "The Artist" may not have been for the old man who controls the selection of the Three Gold Medals.

"

The four of them chatted about the movie while watching the red carpet in the live broadcast room.

"Tom Cruise is here." Liu Yan introduced. "Mission: Impossible 4" starring Tom Cruise last year sold more than 600 million US dollars globally. It was released in China during the Spring Festival and has been leading the Spring Festival. The box office has also been

Breaking through 600 million yuan.”

Yang Mi added a very naughty question: "Is this kind of achievement considered top-notch in Hollywood?"

The other three people all got Yang Mi's point. Xu Shanzheng was not afraid and said with a smile: "Of course Tom Tom is the best."

The reason was that before Zhang Weiping chose the male lead in "The Thirteen Girls", he said he wanted to hire a big-name Hollywood star. Someone recommended Tom Cruise to him, but Zhang Weiping mercilessly ridiculed him: "Tom Cruise? He has long been out of Hollywood.

It’s on the line!”

"Come on, come on. Director Cheng and Yifei are here." Liu Yan shouted.

The 600-meter red carpet in front of the Highland Center (Kodak went bankrupt and the naming rights were sold) is one of the highlights of this year's Oscar reform - the Cannes red carpet is jealous of its ability to attract money.

As the biggest favorite at this year's Oscars, the crew of "The Hunt" received a grand welcome.

Cheng Yu'an held Liu Yifei's hand and led Liu Xiaoli and Guo Fei onto the red carpet.

Cheng Yu'an offered two extra tickets, but his two grandfathers didn't want to come, so he gave his mother-in-law and the company one ticket each.

Look familiar and feel the atmosphere of the Oscars, not shabby.

If you have a serious ticket, you can't say you're on the red carpet.

Liu Yan also explained in the live broadcast room: "Yifei and Aunt Liu went as family members of the nominees. According to the Oscar's invoicing rules, each nominee will get two tickets. The crew of "The Hunt" is a big hit, so how many people will we bring?"

It's normal to go with relatives and friends. As the publisher and main investor of "Hunting" in China, it's not surprising for Mr. Guo to appear on the red carpet."

In recent years, being on the red carpet has made people famous, but it is shameful, so it is still necessary to explain it to the audience.

Walking down the 600-meter red carpet was really tiring.

Liu Yifei walked around with Cheng Yuan on her arm, taking photos and accepting a brief interview with red carpet reporters.

Don't worry, no one will rush you on the red carpet with a hit like "The Hunt".

The first was a domestic reporter. Cheng Yuan was asked if he was confident about winning the award tonight. Cheng Yuan said: "I would like to win them all, but I don't count. Haha, let's leave it to the judges."

Then they were interviewed by red carpet host Nancy O'Dell, and then they walked into the theater.

On the Oscars red carpet, you don’t have to follow the cast and crew; the invited guests can leave as soon as they arrive.

Cheng Yuan and others arrived relatively late, while Matthew McConaughey and others had already arrived.

Matthew was nominated for Best Actor. He knew he had little hope, so he was extra relaxed today just to brush his face.

The two parties introduced each other and took their seats.

The crew of "Hunting" had good seats. The third row was on the right. After all, they were very popular.

The entire award ceremony lasted for 3 hours, with song and dance performances to commemorate the deceased, a procedure common to the world.

Liu Yifei reached into Cheng Yuan's pocket and took out a chocolate bar.

She knew that Cheng Yu'an would always have something to eat in his pocket whenever he participated in such a long ceremony.

"Are you hungry?" Cheng Yuan tilted his head and said.

"I didn't eat today just to put on this dress." Today's dress is a Dior high-end dress. After the one-year contract with Tiffany expired, Liu Yifei was successfully upgraded to the spokesperson of Tiffany Jewelry Greater China and clothing endorsement.

Signed by Dior.

The awards ceremony began soon, and the host was Billy Crystal.

After Morgan Freeman opened the show, Tom Hanks came up to win the first two awards of the show: Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction.

"Dear viewers, Roger Deakins, the cinematographer of "The Hunt", has also been shortlisted for Best Cinematography. Let's see if "The Hunt" can get off to a good start." Liu Yan and others looked at Tom Hanks nervously.

.

"The best cinematography is...Roger Deakins, The Hunt."

The crew of "Hunting" was excited, and they won a statuette for Roger right after opening the door, which was a great blessing.

The old man took the statue on the stage and said: "Thank you to my wife and children for supporting my photography career, and thank you Cheng for giving me "The Hunt". But Cheng, I think of the quarrel we had over the camera before, and I still want to pinch him."

Die to you."

Cheng Yuan laughed in the audience.
