This year's Oscars' most talked-about awards are about to be handed out.
At the same time, the ratings also showed an explosive trend. There are a huge number of netizens and movie fans all over the world, especially in China, who are paying attention.
Some people may say that the value of Best Director may not be as high as that of Best Picture, right?
If the Oscars gave away all other awards but not Best Director, there would be nothing wrong with it.
That being said, in fact, as far as this year is concerned, in this year's Oscars, Best Director is undoubtedly the most watched award.
Because this award has never been awarded to a Chinese director. In the past, you could say that Chinese directors did not have good enough English-language films, but this time it is obviously not the case, and it is not one, not one nomination, but two.
If the Oscars didn't want to give Li Yi this award, then why did it give him a double nomination?
This is really not something that the old guys at the Oscars can control. As mentioned before, although Oscar nomination voting can be used for public relations, in fact, it is even less easy to control.
But if you win a prize, it may really be affected.
Therefore, with double nominations and the use of Li Yi's fame and gimmicks to make a fortune, if the Oscars really don't award this award, you can imagine how much pressure from public opinion it will cause in the future.
Of course, if you give an award, there will also be a lot of pressure from public opinion, but in comparison, the reason for giving the award is obviously easier to explain, and it can completely flaunt the Oscar's principles of fairness and equality.
At this moment, many people are staring at the screen, wanting to see the final winner of this award and whether they will get what they want?
Soon, highlights from the nominated films appeared on the big screen.
The first thing that appeared was a clip from "The Shawshank Redemption".
The first scene is the words of the warden when he first entered the prison: "Give your soul to God and your life to me."
Then there is the message in Andy's letter to Rhett. Andy said: "Remember, hope is a good thing - maybe even the best thing in the world. And good things never disappear."
Then Rhett said about prison: "The high walls in prison are really interesting. When you first go to prison, you hate the high walls around you; slowly, you get used to living in them; eventually you will find that you have to
Survive by it. This is institutionalization.”
The last scene is of Andy struggling to crawl through the five hundred yards of dirty and smelly sewer pipes, facing a thunderstorm, and embracing freedom again!
There was a round of applause in the music center. This scene was so classic, and it embraced freedom, so heart-wrenching!
Then there are highlights from several other nominated films.
Finally, it was left to "Untouchable".
Finally, the highlights of several movies were frozen and presented in a nine-square grid format on the big screen.
"So who won best director?"
This award was presented by France Brown, a famous Hollywood director and two-time Oscar winner for Best Director!
He opened the envelope and took a look. The camera focused on his face. After he saw the content, there was an obvious change in expression on his face, which seemed to be a result of surprise.
"Wow, this result is a bit unexpected!" France Brown said exaggeratedly.
"Damn it, you bad old man, what the hell are you trying to do? You should announce it quickly!"
"I hate this kind of thing the most, those who ride on horses!"
"Damn it, you tell me whether he is a dog director or not!"
In the domestic live broadcast room of the Oscars ceremony, the barrage was filled with the dissatisfaction of netizens.
At this moment, Li Yi was also made a little nervous by this old guy.
"Okay, let me take another look and confirm!" France Brown, who obviously knew how to anger the public, opened the paper inside the envelope and took a look.
"I read it right, then the person who won the Oscar for Best Director is..."
"The Shawshank Redemption, the miracle director from China, Li! Congratulations, you created a miracle!"
As France Brown's voice fell, the images of other movies on the big screen disappeared, replaced by the image of Andy standing in the rain embracing freedom in "The Shawshank Redemption".
"Bah, bang, bang!" Everyone clapped.
Even if you are reluctant, even if you don't like it, you still have to applaud at this moment.
Domestic netizens were furious and exploded.
"Fuck, that's awesome!"
"Director Dog, awesome!"
"Best Director, Oscar still compromised!"
"No, it should be said that Oscar bowed his head!"
"Yes, just bow your head!"
"The dog director got what he wanted, right? Two movies, two nominations. If he doesn't win, it will be a shame!"
"It's rare that Oscar is fair for once!"
For domestic movie fans and netizens, this moment is obviously honorable. Of course, they are naturally fans of Li Yi, so as long as Li Yi wins the award, it is a fair Oscar. If not, it is shady!
At the same time, on the Internet in North America, there are pros and cons.
Some people think that this is what the Oscars should be, while other people feel that the Oscars have also fallen behind.
"That's how it should be. Whether it's the Oscars or Hollywood, everything needs to change!"
"That's a good start isn't it?"
"Yes, the first Chinese director won the Best Director. This is what I think the top film award should be like!"
But another group of people said: "Shit, Oscar has fallen and has become a plaything of capital again!"
"Hollywood giants and Oscars have lost their face for the sake of the Chinese market!"
"A Chinese director has won so many Oscars. Is this still the North American Academy Award?"
"..."
No matter how noisy the external public opinion is, at this moment, the award ceremony is filled with thunderous applause. Nothing from the outside world can change this fact.
Li Yi hugged everyone, accepted their congratulations, and then walked onto the Oscar stage to receive the award.
A smile appeared on his face after receiving the trophy symbolizing the Oscar for Best Director from France Brown.
"Congratulations!"
"Thanks!"
"The stage is given to you!"
Li Yi stood there. At the award ceremony, the Chandler Music Center was suddenly silent, and everyone focused on Li Yi on the stage.
He is Li Yi, from China, known as a miracle director, and at this moment, he has undoubtedly created a new miracle, shining brightly on the Oscar podium.
"To be honest, it's a bit surprising!" However, Li Yi surprised everyone as soon as he opened his mouth.
But then they all felt relieved. After all, no Chinese director had ever won this award before.
Moreover, the public opinion from the outside world was not very friendly to Li Yi earlier. It is indeed a compromise for the Oscar organizing committee to give this award to Li Yi.
Many people think that the Oscars are very inclusive and have a big pattern, but in fact, there has always been a chain of discrimination at the Oscars.
First are Hollywood movies, then other movies, and then when it comes to people, first are the authentic natives, then directors from other countries, the English-speaking area, then Europe, and Asian directors, most of the time, are
Forgotten.
Yes, there are many foreign directors who won the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars, but this award is actually not as valuable as imagined.
And this award is a film award, not an individual award.
The group of people at Oscar can be said to be the most conservative and old-fashioned group of people.
Li Yi said that it was precisely because of this that there were some surprises.
In fact, in film history, it is not that no Chinese director has been nominated, but the results are obvious.
"Thank you to the Film Academy for awarding this award to me. I need to apologize. Someone told me earlier that it would be impossible for the Oscars to award such an award to a Chinese director like me, but now I think you are wrong.
!This is the format of the Oscars, the format of a top film award!”
People have given you the prize, so Li Yi naturally doesn't mind a few compliments. After all, people have bowed their heads, what else do you want?
And this is also true. If Oscar gave him the award, then Li Yi would naturally reciprocate the favor. What's the problem with a few words of praise? In fact, it only shows the gold content of his award.
Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships. Li Yi still understands this.
No matter what the purpose is, at least you get the award, right?
I already have face, so if you give me face, I naturally don’t mind giving you face either.
"Thank you to everyone on "The Shawshank Redemption," thank you to Dean Films, thank you to my family, thank you..."
Li Yi didn't say much after that, he just thanked a series of names, as usual.
In fact, before he won the award, he was indeed a little nervous and worried about gains and losses. However, after receiving the award, he felt relieved, and suddenly felt that the award was not as important as he thought.
Of course, that's him. He doesn't lack money, fame, or achievements. He doesn't need the Best Director Oscar to add glory to him.
It can be said that the Oscar for Best Director, for Li Yi, is more of an icing on the cake. Of course it is good to have it. If not, it will not affect much, and it may not even get it, and it will allow him to get more.
Of course, Li Yi also doesn't need those sympathy.
It's pretty good now.
The last photo of Li Yi holding up the Oscar trophy, instantly killed countless films.
Many media reporters have even thought of titles.
"Miracle director, Oscar crowning!"
"A miracle director, staged an Oscar miracle, and the first Chinese Oscar-winning director was born!"
"The miracle director finally becomes a miracle, and the miracle director from China becomes the biggest Oscar winner!"
Li Yi walked off the podium with a smile on his face. He was definitely happy for winning the award.
Soon, the subsequent awards were awarded one after another, and the Oscar rules for dividing the pork were still unchanged. The following Best Editing and Best Picture, "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Intouchables" were not unexpectedly defeated.
But Li Yi didn't care at all.
In fact, there is no need to give away all the Oscars at once, otherwise the public pressure and controversy will definitely be greater in the future. This situation is very good now.
Yes, Li Yi is still the biggest winner, but he does not "monopolize" the Oscars as he said earlier!
After all, there are still many heavyweight awards, including Best Director, that will go to other places.
But even so, it still caused controversy after the awards were over.
In fact, this is also a normal thing, controversy?
It can be said that every Oscar is accompanied by countless controversies.
Because there will always be someone who wins, and someone who gets nothing. Even if it is to gain more sympathy for the movie and gain some box office, they will definitely let the media hype it.
Why will "The Shawshank Redemption" become the most classic in memory?
It’s hard to say that it has nothing to do with the tragedy of this movie at the Oscars. It is precisely because this movie was good enough that it failed at the Oscars, which made many people who like this movie feel huge sympathy for this.
That's what makes this movie even greater.
Sadness is always easier to remember.
Domestically, the news that Li Yi won the Best Director Oscar and became the biggest Oscar winner was reported on CCTV's evening news for nearly a minute.
It can be said that for a time almost everyone in the country knew about it!
At least on the Internet, under Li Yi's personal official account, countless fans and netizens have sent congratulations.
"Hu Jianren sent a congratulatory message to congratulate Director Dog on his Oscar coronation!"
"The people of Hunan sent a congratulatory message to congratulate Director Gou on becoming the king of directors!"
"The people of Baodao sent a congratulatory message, Director Dog is awesome!"
"As long as the dog director is awesome, Oscar will have to bow his head! Awesome, awesome, awesome!"
"Speaking of which, is it time to compete for the top three best directors in Europe next time? Let's have an unprecedented grand slam of the highest award and best director?"
"You can have this! We all lost Oscars, so the difficulty of the top three in Europe shouldn't be that high, right?"
"There are three European majors and the Oscar Grand Slam, but when you add the Best Director Grand Slam, it seems that there really isn't one!"
"Director Dog is really awesome, but after winning awards, isn't it time to come back?"
At the same time, the news that Li Yi finally won the Academy Award for Best Director also appeared on the front page of major domestic media and social platforms for the first time.
On hot searches, Li Yi was crowned Oscar winner and directly occupied five of the top ten.
In North America, after the awards ceremony, the voices of controversy also came as expected.
"The Oscars bowed to the Chinese market? Chinese directors became the biggest winners of the Oscars!"
"Oscar has fallen so far, but the Chinese director has the last laugh!"
Of course, more media also used the photo of Li Yi holding the trophy high as the front page headline.
"Chinese miracle director performed a real miracle at the Academy Awards, and the Oscar's best director has added a newcomer!"
"The miracle of Miracle Director remains the same. The first Chinese Best Director Oscar was born. This is the pattern of the world's top film awards!"
"The new king has ascended the throne. After winning the highest cumulative box office in the world, the miracle director from China was once again crowned the Oscar's Best Director, completing the Oscar Grand Slam!"
