Chapter eight hundred and eighty fifth Oscar's tragedy
"Who do you think will win the Palme d'Or?"
"It's hard to say, but these works are all excellent. When they were first released, they caused a lot of response. Many people were watching the popular movies. Speaking of which, "The Pursuit of Happyness" even though it is set in the United States,
But it is still loved by many people.”
"Yes, it is the same all over the world. Class and class are invisible walls. After watching this movie, many people can feel the same way. This is why the movie has such a great influence. What's more, it is the protagonist who spreads the message
Those who have faith and are not overwhelmed by life will surely become people who enjoy life."
"I would also like to receive such a work. If possible, I would rather not get paid."
"If Chen Mubai had not participated in the Oscars, I think this film would have won awards at other film festivals except the Venice Film Festival. The core is simple but directly touches people's hearts. This is a rare work that does not criticize politics and social darkness.
A very good healing work.”
"pity......"
Many actors were discussing quietly in the audience the works that might win the prize. These five works are all very good. Everyone made guesses based on their own understanding.
After all, he is an industry insider, he can see the shining points of the works, and he also knows the tastes of the judges, so it is not difficult to guess.
In fact, the works that have reached this point are all very good, and it is not surprising which one wins the award. The comparison at this time is whose work has greater meaning, greater influence, and makes people feel more.
"The Pursuit of Happiness" was generally well received. Many people shed tears when it was released. Chen Mubai's performance was also very wonderful, allowing everyone to see the great fatherly love.
But Chen Mubai just won the Best Director Award, which made everyone no longer optimistic that he could win the Palme d'Or.
After all, the principle of equal division of awards has always been in place, and there is still a work that did not win a single award, so the hope of winning the award is quite high.
What's more, the movie "The Pursuit of Happiness" is theoretically not a product of the Cannes Film Festival, but an Oscar-winning film. In the minds of the judges, its status will be lower, so at first everyone guessed, either
A Palme d'Or, if it wins other awards, forget about the Palme d'Or.
Although the competition between the Oscars and Cannes has risen, there is still pride in being affiliated with the film festival. If Cannes really gives the best picture to "The Pursuit of Happyness", it means that they are ready to compete with the Oscars.
preparation.
Perhaps, this is the opportunity to start a war.
The stars are just watching the show, but the really nervous ones are the production teams of the five works. They are the ones who really don't say a word, staring at the stage, waiting for the host's answer.
While he was speaking, the host read out the award-winning works. Chen Mubai won the award, and "The Pursuit of Happiness" won the Palme d'Or for Best Film!
Everyone was shocked!
In particular, those who just thought Chen Mubai was not eligible for the award were dumbfounded.
The Cannes Film Festival has really done something different from usual this time. Is it really going to face the Oscars?
When the host read out the winning works, the whole audience was really excited.
This answer is both unexpected and reasonable. If this film did not take into account off-screen factors, it would indeed be a favorite to win the award, but these factors are often considered in award selections.
Chen Mubai's win means that Cannes and the Oscars have really collided, and now the pace is soaring.
A work that did not win the Best Picture at the Oscars did win it at Cannes. This will inevitably lead to a war of public opinion on the Internet, and two world-renowned film festivals are involved!
There are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the visibility of the two film festivals has once again expanded. More people know about them and understand their impact.
The disadvantage is that one party must be embarrassed. According to the current movie ratings and word-of-mouth, the Oscars are at a disadvantage, but because the Oscars are relatively well-known around the world, the general public may think that the Oscars are more authoritative. After all, they are more famous.
!
What kind of third-rate film festival is the Cannes Film Festival?
Just for the heat, right?
So unfamiliar!
Ordinary people generally focus on their own cognition, which is a subjective assumption.
No matter what, this incident will become a trigger.
The actors present smelled the smell of gunpowder, so when they saw the result, they knew what would happen next, and they were naturally excited.
It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, it has nothing to do with them anyway.
In other words, it has nothing to do with them who wins the prize, they are more willing to see such interesting things happen.
...
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
"We really got it!"
"Mubai, you succeeded!"
The moment Tao Yaoyao learned about the winning entry, she jumped up excitedly.
Different from previous awards, this award is of great significance. After all, the rhythm has been going on for a while, and she thought there was really no hope of winning. Suddenly, she heard the news that "The Pursuit of Happiness" won the award, and her joy instantly surged.
Come up!
"Go up and receive the award!" Tao Yaoyao said excitedly. Her mood was still high and she had not yet calmed down.
Chen Mubai was happier winning the award than herself.
"Yeah." Chen Mubai picked up Tao Yaoyao and spun him around, then nodded with a smile.
At this time, why wasn't he excited?
Just like what he said when being interviewed by reporters at the door, no one does not hope that he can win the award, and he is here just to compete for the award.
Now, the goal is achieved.
"go quickly."
In full view of everyone, Chen Mubai hugged her and spun around. Tao Yaoyao noticed that everyone was looking at them, and she felt a little shy.
Whether it was her jumping up excitedly just now or Chen Mubai holding her in circles, she was a little out of sorts.
However, this kind of gaffe is understandable, because it often happens on such occasions. After all, it is a world-class award, and it is normal to do extraordinary things in the excitement of winning.
On the big screen, there were originally five pictures, and the four unsuccessful pictures were a bit decadent, which was not enough for them to quickly smile and give Chen Mubai applause.
Until Tao Yaoyao and Chen Mubai embraced each other, they were the only figures on the huge screen, and everyone saw their excitement and embrace.
"It is indeed very loving."
"The eyes of two people looking at each other are full of love, an enviable love."
Many people saw the scene of the two interacting and showed kind smiles. This is a beautiful yearning and blessing for love.
In fact, when they are at this point, sincere love is rare. It can be said that true love is rarer than anything else.
This is because the general environment of this circle is like this. The luxuriance, wealth and beauty are all superficial. It is also a circle that young people dream of entering, hoping to soar into the sky.
Therefore, as long as you have a certain degree of popularity, you don't have to be a first-tier star. Even a second-tier or third-tier star will have a lot of fans or people who are trying their best to get close to you. They are attracted to you, not necessarily because of your character, talent, basically
The above are all utilitarian, whoever is popular plays with whomever is popular, this is the basic principle.
Even friendship is rare in the entertainment industry, let alone love?
Chen Mubai walked towards the stage step by step. Tao Yaoyao had a smile on her lips and her eyes followed him. Anyone could see that tenderness and sweetness.
...
After Chen Mubai came on stage, he took the trophy with both hands very solemnly, exchanged greetings with the award-presenting guests, and began to deliver his acceptance speech.
"It is a great surprise and surprise for me to receive this award. I want to thank..."
The person who said some official words and thanked me then began to return to the movie itself.
"Before I made this movie, I wanted to ask, what is happiness?"
Chen Mubai's eyes scanned the audience, and then he answered slowly: "Looking back on the past, I once fell to the bottom of my life. I was even desperate and had the idea of suicide. I was also depressed. During that time, I thought a lot. At that time
What I want is that I don’t want anything, I don’t want anything, and I don’t want to become famous. As long as I can live a simple life with my parents, it is the greatest happiness for me.”
"Looking back further, I want to be a star, I hope I can study well, I hope I can dance well..."
"Each stage of life has different ideals and goals, and if the goal is achieved, it can be called happiness. I also divided each stage of life in the movie, and finally I can be with my happy family.
, is the stage of happiness and what I pursue.”
"There are two types of happiness. One is shallow happiness, which is material happiness, which can meet all material needs, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. For many people, having enough food and clothing every day is happiness."
"There is another kind of deep happiness, which I think is psychological happiness. Even if you are hungry and live a wandering life, you still feel happy. Just like in the movie, the protagonist and the child encounter too many difficulties together, but the two
People are still full of hope for life, even though they live in poverty, but can you say they are unhappy?"
"So, I just want to use this movie to tell everyone that contentment is the best happiness, because no matter whether it is material or pursuit, you will never be satisfied. People like to set a goal for themselves and work hard for it. Once the goal is completed,
, then there will be a next goal, just like expecting a monthly salary of 3,000, and once it is reached, I hope to have 5,000, and then 8,000..."
"It's tiring to chase like this all the time. If you have time, you can stop and look at the surrounding scenery, listen to your inner voice, and think about what you want. Sometimes simplicity may not be a kind of happiness. I hope this movie can bring joy to the audience.
Bring some warmth and respect everyone who works hard for life."
"Many people will encounter various difficulties in life. Sometimes they will inevitably be unable to bear the blow, and will have all kinds of depression and suicidal thoughts. But before making impulsive actions, I hope you can recall the happy times and your divorce.
Castration will inevitably cause grief to relatives. Death only requires a moment of courage, but living requires a lifetime of courage. I hope everyone can be a [warrior]!"
After Chen Mubai finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause.
Use the content of the movie to convey the perspective of life in a simple and straightforward way.
What everyone is most surprised about is that Chen Mubai is so young, but his insights are very profound. His ideas are perspectives that many people older than him do not have!
Perhaps, these are really related to his experiences. Many people here know about Chen Mubai's gloomy experience before he became famous.
Sometimes, sinking will make people realize a lot, because it will allow people to see the various aspects of life.
How glorious you are when you become famous, how miserable you will be when you fall down. The huge gap will be unacceptable. This is why many people can never stand up again after being knocked down, and they will commit suicide and become depressed.
But at the same time, it will also make people think about more things. Many outstanding people have experienced troughs in life. As long as they get out of it, they can make further progress.
World-renowned superstars have all experienced rebellion, loss, depravity, etc. Being popular will make people live in "false" prosperity. Human desires will be infinitely magnified, and at the same time they will become more arrogant and think that they have nothing.
No, success is a very simple thing, but it is not. They will not wake up until they are "abandoned", but by then it is already too late.
But if you get out of this deep trough in life, you will have a very profound understanding of life and self, and it will make people re-recognize themselves and the world.
After Chen Mubai becomes famous, his past deeds will be dug up, and everyone will be interested in the rise of a star. Before he was hidden, he was once an extremely talented trainee. If he follows the route at that time,
, becoming a popular traffic star is not a problem, and he is still young and promising.
However, everything did not develop according to that trajectory, and huge changes eventually made him what he is now.
Everyone looks at him who is so radiant now, and they all think that the painful past gave him a lot of insights, which allowed him to have so many insights and create so many stunning works!
Although I envy him, I am not jealous of him. After all, not everyone can get out of that huge pain. Many people cannot get up after falling.
From everyone's perspective, Chen Mubai is using his own experience to tell everyone to cherish life, not to be too aggressive, and to let everyone think about their own positioning of happiness to pursue and enjoy life.
If his work won him an award, then his speech this time directly captured everyone, and everyone once again burst into warm applause to encourage him.
...
The Cannes Film Festival came to an end, and Chen Mubai once again became the darling of media reporters, and everyone interviewed him one after another.
Chen Mubai was happier this time than before attending the award ceremony. After all, he had previously promised that he was here for the Palme d'Or, and this time it finally came true!
"I did get the Palme d'Or, I'm very happy, thank you..."
"What do you think about the Oscars? What do I think about it? I didn't win the best picture there. Maybe it's because the judges have different judgments. But I believe that truly outstanding works will not be buried, nor will they be because they didn't win the award.
And affecting its quality, awards are not the standard that determines the quality of a work, but are just a measurement standard."
"The shady scene or not is over, and there is no point in talking about it anymore. There is no absolute fairness in the world, but I will try my best to do my best. Oscars have never been the awards I want to chase. I need
What’s important is the recognition of the audience. If the audience doesn’t recognize it, it’s useless to give me more awards. I just hope that my work can bring some warmth and understanding to everyone..."
Chen Mubai answered many questions. Although he did not say anything bad about Oscar, his words actually reflected it.
Just like he said that the quality of his work will not be buried because he didn't win an award, he was referring to the fact that the Oscars blackmailed him, thus implying that the Oscars are not so authoritative.
This kind of statement was impeccable, it was not a direct diss, and it also brought down the Oscar with irony, which made the Oscar officials jump in anger.
Although everyone knew that they had conflicts, Chen Mubai had never spoken about it directly. If they responded, they would have fallen into a trap. After all, there was nothing wrong with what the other party said. If they responded in a hurry, they would be cheating.
Moreover, Chen Mubai said that awards are not a criterion for measuring a work, but a matter of the judges' vision. However, this film did not win the Best Picture at the Oscars, but it went to the Cannes Film Festival and won the Best Picture. So who is he mocking?
Doesn’t this tell everyone straightforwardly that the judges at the Cannes Film Festival have better vision and are more professional, while the Oscars are amateur?
After all, the Oscars have always said that there is no shady story. If there is no shady story, it only proves that the judges are not good and are not as good as the Cannes Film Festival.
If you don't admit that the judges are not good, it would be like admitting in disguise that Chen Mubai's award was blackmailed, and that is a shady case.
No matter how he responded, Oscar naturally felt aggrieved.
The most important point is that the reputation and ratings of "The Pursuit of Happiness" are higher than those of "War", which is why this situation happened.
If the two scores are similar, it can also be explained by the different tastes of different judges.
After all, between close opponents, no matter who wins, the problem is that there is a slight gap, which makes Oscar speechless.
Otherwise, they would not bundle patriotic sentiments into marketing.
Chen Mubai's acceptance speech on the Cannes stage quickly became popular around the world. Many people applauded his speech and thought what he said was very reasonable. This led to more voices supporting him in the United States.
The Oscars are once again caught in a public opinion scandal. This time the Cannes Film Festival has become famous, which has suppressed the momentum of the Oscars and increased the influence of its own film festival.
This period has not been easy for Oscar. It has been a troubled time, and he was once again in turmoil because of Chen Mubai!
...
"How is the post-production process of "Iron Man" going?" Tao Yaoyao looked at Chen Mubai.
Another two months have passed and the end of the year has come.
"It's coming soon. The trailer will be released on New Year's Day and it will be released on time during the Spring Festival." Chen Mubai gave a positive reply.
"Let's go see it together then~" Tao Yaoyao said coquettishly.
"Let's go after the New Year's Eve dinner. Call dad and Sister Qin, and the four of us will go together!"
Chen Mubai smiled: "Okay."
"How are you preparing?" Chen Mubai asked Xiang Tao Yaoyao, who has been preparing for the filming of "Titanic" during this time.
Learn the etiquette of the nobility, as well as the tone and way of speaking. People at that time spoke at a different speed than people today.
Even when they are angry, they must maintain a noble and proud posture. For nobles, manners are the most important, and they must not lose their composure at any time. This is a symbol of their noble status, and it is also what distinguishes them from the nouveau riche.
If we don’t say that class was severely consolidated in that era, and even the down-and-out nobles had to maintain their superficial dignity even if their lives were problematic, the social environment at that time was a kind of morbidity.
"I'm almost ready. I've memorized the script, and I feel like I've almost realized Ruth's emotions." Tao Yaoyao said happily.
She studied carefully for several months for this, and finally understood the script and role thoroughly, and also mastered all the etiquette.
"Ruth is not difficult for me. The role has bonuses." Tao Yaoyao chuckled.
Ruth and Jack are a couple, and Jack is played by Chen Mubai. The two are already lovers, so it's absolutely fine for Tao Yaoyao to show her true love and emotion, as long as she plays her true self.
It's just that she needs to express this kind of love in a different way. After all, people at that time were different from now, and she needs to be more restrained, otherwise it will be too easy to be seen. This requires eye play, which is
difficulty.
Emotional resonance is not difficult for her at all, she just needs to change the way of expression.
"That's good, we are almost ready for the beginning of this drama, and we will start filming then." Chen Mubai nodded.
Tao Yaoyao's eyes widened and a surprise smile appeared on his lips: "Really!?"
She has been waiting for this drama for several months, and filming is finally about to begin!
This is the work she has been preparing for the longest and most carefully!
In addition to starring opposite Chen Mubai, this film is also his work that will compete at the Berlin Film Festival. Tao Yaoyao naturally does not dare to be careless. She hopes that she can do her best and help Chen Mubai compete for awards!
In a film festival like this, it's not just about the actors performing well, it's about having a wonderful performance. Only when the opponent's performance is wonderful can the viewing experience be improved and the interpretation effect of another character can be enhanced.
Just like two actors competing in a drama, a scene between a movie king and an ordinary actor may be passable, but it will definitely not be enjoyable or amazing. If two movie kings are competing on the same stage, it will be very exciting!
This is the difference. Only opponents with higher levels will have stronger effects. One is strong and the other is weak. It will be too obvious and there will be a sense of separation. In the eyes of professional judges, this flaw is a huge flaw.
defect.
Tao Yaoyao knew that her acting skills were far different from Chen Mubai's, so in order not to be held back as much as possible, she studied very hard and diligently.
During this period, she basically pushed back all her work, even the filming of "Resident Evil 2" was postponed just for the sake of "Titanic".
The effect was positive. Tao Yaoyao clearly felt that she had a clearer understanding of the role. She was confident that she could play this role well, at least much higher than her previous level.
"This is your work to hit the Berlin Film Festival, I won't let you down!"
Tao Yaoyao said excitedly.
Chen Mubai has already won two of the three major European film festivals, and is only missing the last Berlin Film Festival. The background of this film has political struggle, and it is also the preference of the Berlin Film Festival. It can be seen that Chen Mubai came prepared.
