They all thought that they would not win the Best Foreign Language Film award. They had lost the previous awards one after another, which made them all think that the official might really follow the principle of equal division of awards. The previous awards were given to them, and the grand prize was given to other works.
But unexpectedly, in the last award, "Infernal Affairs" won this award again!
Relatively speaking, "Infernal Affairs" has gained a lot this time. Even though it lost the Best Actor and Best Director awards, it still made a lot of money by winning the Best Foreign Language Film!
"It's done!"
"got it!"
"We have created a history of Chinese films winning Oscars!"
Even if it didn't win the Best Foreign Language Film, it actually broke the record of Chinese films winning at the Oscars Film Festival this time. In the past, there were only two or three awards, but this time the two films won nearly 7 awards in total!
But before that, no Chinese-language film had ever won the award for Best Foreign Language Film.
"Infernal Affairs" is the first time a Chinese-language film has won the Best Foreign Language Film Award, creating a history of Chinese-language films at the Oscars!
Taking the journey of Chinese-language films at the Oscars as an example, the best foreign language film is the Chinese-language film that wins the highest honor at the Oscars Film Festival!
The gold content of this award is equivalent to the Best Director and Actor awards, but is weaker than the Best Picture award. It is considered a second-tier award.
There is basically no hope of chasing the best foreign language film, so the best foreign language film is the highest award for non-English films!
"Infernal Affairs" lost the Best Director and Actor awards, but won the Best Foreign Language Film, which was a blessing in disguise.
"Congratulations!"
Luo Fan, Liang Wei and others stood up and hugged Chen Mubai one after another. Everyone's faces were flushed, which was due to excitement and happiness.
"This time we have earned face for the whole country!" Luo Fan said with a smile.
"Go up." Liang Wei said.
Chen Mubai is the director of this film, and he went to receive the award on behalf of the crew.
Chen Mubai smiled broadly and walked towards the stage with relaxed steps.
He looked normal before, because he had thought that if he failed this time, he would try again next time and he would definitely win the Oscar again.
But now that I have it, I am naturally very happy.
Who doesn’t want to win an award?
Any award is a commendation for a film and its production staff. It is a great honor and everyone is honored.
...
When the judges announced that "Infernal Affairs" had won the award, netizens across the country who were watching the live broadcast were also excited!
Chen Mubai once again made history!
Breaking the record for the highest number of awards won by a Chinese-language film at the Oscar Film Festival!
This is a record that can be written into the history of Chinese films. It is the first film to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and it also has several other awards!
"Infernal Affairs" is worthy of being a popular award-winning film before the awards ceremony, and it certainly did not disappoint everyone.
This movie may become one of the biggest winners at this year's Oscars? It has won several awards? There is also a gold-rich grand prize!
“Our prayers worked!”
"If nothing else, Chen Mubai is awesome!"
"Once again refreshing the world's understanding? Chen Mubai is indeed one of the few people in recent years who can promote Chinese film history works to the world!"
"Really? He not only promoted movies to the world, but also spread the influence of songs to the world? Recently I discovered that there are many foreigner account messages on Weiyin? They are all specifically looking for Chen Mubai's songs."
"I really won't criticize him anymore? Just because he is the only one in China who insists on making good works and bringing Chinese movies to the world. I admire him!"
“Brothers and sisters, don’t say any more, let’s tell Starway Entertainment the news together!”
"...Are you really a bad person? Bring me one? Hehe~"
Netizens chatted freely through barrages, which shows how happy they are.
They are really excited that a Chinese-language film can win an Oscar.
This represents the honor of the country, and Chinese films have also broken the record of not getting much at the Oscars (a gold-rich award).
With this award, Chinese-language films have won awards (the highest awards) at mainstream international film festivals.
The awards ceremony is still going on? "Infernal Affairs" has one last nomination, Best Picture.
But everyone has given up hope? After all, no non-English film has ever won this award, so naturally no one thinks "Infernal Affairs" can win this award.
What's more? "Infernal Affairs" has already won many awards, and it won the gold-rich film of Best Foreign Language Film? It basically can't win other awards? Let alone the most important award.
If "Infernal Affairs" can still win the best picture? Then it will definitely shock the world, and this movie will become the biggest winner of this film festival, no one!
It's just... basically impossible.
However, there are still a small number of people who have illusions. They continue to watch the awards ceremony and are persistent in wanting to see the final result.
The fast editor has already started writing relevant news, preparing to grab first-hand traffic.
Chen Mubai has gained a huge harvest this time. He has broken the record of winning Oscars for Chinese-language films. This news will definitely shock the entertainment industry, and the traffic is not low.
Whoever writes news quickly will get the upper hand. Everyone is writing articles in advance, publishing one after another, and seizing traffic as quickly as possible!
In any case, it is foreseeable that the name Chen Mubai will definitely become popular on the Internet!
In the past, people with fast speeds had posted "dangerous" performed by Chen Mubai on stage, and the topic of moonwalking was very hot.
Chen Mubai's dance steps aroused heated discussion among the public!
Many people who claim to be dance professionals are crazily praising this move and are also surprised by Chen Mubai's unbridled creativity.
This creative dance step really gave everyone a great surprise.
...
"how come......"
"Are we running away with you?"
"I didn't win a single award, really..."
Everyone from the "Kill List" crew is very disappointed. This was their last hope, and now it's gone.
After seeing that "Infernal Affairs" had missed awards one after another before, they felt that they had a high chance of winning.
After all, for them, the biggest threat is "Infernal Affairs", and being able to win those awards is a good proof.
They thought that without their biggest competitor, they would be able to win the prize, but God played a joke on them.
It turns out that the reason why the organizing committee did not award the best actor and director to "Infernal Affairs" was because they wanted to award them the best foreign language film!
When they knew the truth, their eyes dropped.
"Forget it, it's just a possibility in the first place. I hope I can come again in the future."
"Try harder." Someone comforted.
From the beginning, "Infernal Affairs" was a strong contender for the best foreign language film and the most promising winning film by the outside world. They could only be ranked fourth.
Therefore, this result can only be said to be in line with expectations.
It's just that they didn't win any of the several award nominations, and the winner of Best Director has never won any award before, giving them some hope of winning.
But the truth is cruel. Just because others can win awards does not mean they can also win awards. Same people have different fates!
"Um......"
The result cannot be changed, so we can only adapt.
What's the use of being miserable?
I don’t know when I will be able to compete for an Oscar next time. Maybe I won’t have the chance in the future.
However, the directors who can be shortlisted for the best foreign language film are all very capable. As long as they don't focus on transitioning into commercial films and make some literary and artistic works, the chances of being selected are not small.
After all, his own abilities are not bad. As long as a suitable script is successfully adapted, the chance of a literary film entering major film festivals is much higher than that of a commercial film.
Some people are happy and some are sad. If they are happy, then the rest of the crew will be sad.
Five films compete for one award, and there is only one winner, while the other four are losers.
...
Chen Mubai was all smiles on stage.
He was really happy to win the best foreign language film.
In fact, he previously thought that because he had won too many previous awards, he would not be able to win subsequent awards.
As a result, he was indeed given a surprise in the end.
"I won't say much more about my thanks. You are tired of hearing this before."
Chen Mubai started with a different approach.
The audience in the audience were amused again. Indeed, he had come up several times and thanked him every time. It was indeed a bit boring.
Chen Mubai's speech once again made everyone think that he is a humorous person.
On such occasions, many people will restrain their tempers to avoid accidents.
Chen Mubai is very chic. He says what he wants without too many worries and does not have the aura of an idol. He talks to everyone as if he were friends, which makes people feel very relaxed and comfortable.
"This award really surprised me. I thought I would be able to go back soon. I was even thinking about where to go to have dinner with my girlfriend tonight to celebrate. After all, I won the award today and did not get it in vain.
The flight ticket is not in vain. I will take advantage of the limited time to experience more of the food here so as not to lose money."
"Air tickets are not cheap, so you must make the most of them. By the way, do you have any delicious restaurants to recommend?"
"..."
Many people were amused by Chen Mubai's words, and at the same time, there were people in the audience loudly recommending delicious restaurants to him.
Chen Mubai heard the other party's recommendation, then glanced in the direction of the conversation and said: "Forget it, thank you for your kindness. I thought about it and decided not to go. The place you mentioned must be very expensive, so I'd better find a cheaper one myself."
Restaurant, you can buy an extra plane ticket for the return trip.”
Chen Mubai shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be poor, which once again caused laughter in the audience.
No one believed that Chen Mubai had no money. He was just trying to make everyone happy.
How could a top Chinese star not be able to afford a restaurant? It was obvious that he was still playing tricks and deliberately entertaining everyone with his self-deprecating tone.
"I really appreciate everyone's support for me and thank you for liking this movie. I will work hard to produce more excellent works for everyone. This trophy is an encouragement to me. I will dabble in more types of subjects in the future.
It will also become more and more international, allowing the world to see Chinese films. I hope to win more international awards in the future, and I want people around the world to see that Chinese films are not bad!"
After talking for a long time, Chen Mubai spoke his true feelings at the last moment.
His speech surprised everyone. The flag was a bit too big, and he was self-deprecating at first, but he was a bit too proud later!
It’s okay to win more international awards, everyone will say so, but he also wants to promote Chinese films internationally, which is not easy!
This is not something that one person can do. This is something that the film and television industry of a country can decide. At least China is definitely not up to the level of the European and American film and television industry.
Therefore, the quality gap between movies is quite large.
If it weren't for Chen Mubai's excellent works, he wouldn't be able to stand here.
However, the rise of China's film and television industry cannot be achieved by him alone. No country's film and television works can change the status quo just by one person. This requires the efforts of generations to make more excellent works appear and be recognized.
Only with international recognition can it be completed!
It can only be said that Chen Mubai is very ambitious, but also very young.
However, youth is capital. He has won two Venice and Oscar awards at such a young age. His personal ability is indeed excellent, so it is understandable that he has bigger dreams.
In the eyes of foreigners, Chen Mubai's words are a bit false and empty-handed, just like bragging. However, there is nothing wrong with bragging after receiving an award on such an occasion. Even if people don't agree with what he said, they will still applaud him.
.
Chinese netizens watching the live broadcast from across the ocean were excited!
They really believed what Chen Mubai said!
So far, Chen Mubai has accomplished everything he said. Even if everyone thinks it is an impossible task every time, Chen Mubai still accomplishes it. This is his ability!
This also made everyone believe in what he said more and more. Regardless of whether he was bragging or not, if he fulfilled what he said, that would be enough.
This time, Chen Mubai was able to threaten to bring Chinese film and television works internationally. This determination shocked many Chinese netizens and was very moved.
At least, Chen Mubai is the first and only celebrity to say this in public.
Not everyone dares to say such things. The pressure will be great, as will the pressure of public opinion.
Even though the Chinese media may be tolerant of him, the international media will definitely ridicule Chen Mubai and think that he is talking nonsense!
Chen Mubai's words will indeed cause a sensation.
Except for Hua Xia, I'm afraid most of them are sarcastic voices.
