Chapter 1021
Red Carpet Moment!
ahhh-
The car door opened.
As Chen Yu and Liu Yifei appeared before the crowd, deafening screams erupted from all around the Kodak Theater.
"Chan".
"Chen Yu, Yi Fei!"
"To win glory for the country."
Domestic media reporters have long been unable to contain their emotions.
This time.
The fact that Chen Yu and Liu Yifei were both nominated for Oscars for Best Actor and Best Actress is already a source of pride for the entire Chinese film industry.
The two walked hand in hand toward the red carpet.
Countless flashes of light shone on the two of them.
The screams from the surrounding fans were deafening. Chen Yu stood tall and straight, and eight years of experience had made him the focus of everyone's attention.
As for Liu Yifei...
Her every smile and frown thrilled everyone.
Robin Roberts looked at where Chen Yu was. Compared to her last visit, Chen Yu was noticeably more determined and composed.
It was obvious that his eyes held a determination to win.
Putting everything else aside, the last time Chen Yu narrowly missed out on the grand prize, even Robin Roberts, as an outsider, found it somewhat absurd.
after all.
Bruce Lee was a huge international sensation at the time.
The four red carpet hosts stood in the very center of the red carpet, watching Chen Yu and Liu Yifei approach them.
Besides marveling at their abilities, Robin Roberts also admired one other thing about them.
Chen Yu and Liu Yifei have been together for so long.
Their relationship remained completely unaffected.
"Chan, are you confident you can win the Oscar for Best Actor?"
"Now that you're back on the Oscars red carpet, what would you like to say?"
"Hello Chan, how do you feel right now that both 'Joker' and 'Mulan' have been nominated for Oscars?"
Putting aside other things.
This alone is quite admirable.
While this has happened before since the Oscars were first established, it has almost always been with prominent Hollywood directors.
For example, Victor Fleming's "Gone with the Wind" and "The Wizard of Oz".
Francis Ford Coppola's Conversations and The Godfather Part II, and Steven Soderbergh's Erin Brockovich and Traffic in 2000.
These are all classic works.
According to Robin Roberts, it is already extremely rare for a Chinese person to be nominated for an Oscar, but Chen Yu has actually managed to do so.
No matter how you look at it, it's incredibly surprising.
Chen Yu and Liu Yifei smiled broadly as they faced inquiries from netizens.
to be frank.
This was also a rather pleasant thing for Chen Yu.
He received countless blessings when he set off from China.
This time, he's definitely going to get back everything he lost before.
"It is an honor for me to have two films nominated for Oscars at the same time, and it is also a responsibility."
"This recognition was not driven by me alone, but by the efforts of all members of our crew."
"As for my wish, it is to let more people see the emotions in Chinese stories."
"Regardless of the outcome."
Chen Yu spoke with great seriousness.
His goal has always been to promote and develop Chinese-language films, and he is still working towards that goal now.
It's clear that he has already done it.
Whether it was his brilliant performance in "Joker" or his creation of the film "Mulan," Chen Yu brought his talents to the extreme.
Chen Yu's answer undoubtedly caused the crowd present to scream repeatedly.
Not only domestic media reporters, but also mainstream foreign media were full of admiration after hearing this response.
Let's not even talk about how arduous it is for a Chinese person to walk this path.
Even for local actors, winning an Oscar would likely be extremely difficult.
Can be imagined.
Chen Yu has undoubtedly faced considerable pressure to reach his current position.
The media reporters present were unwilling to let Chen Yu and Liu Yifei leave.
after all.
They finally managed to meet Chen Yu and conduct an interview.
"Crystal, now that you've received your first Oscar nomination for Best Actress, is there anything you'd like to say to everyone?"
When suddenly questioned by reporters around her, Liu Yifei visibly felt a little breathless.
She looked up at the person beside her.
Her beautiful eyebrows and eyes looked even more stunning under the flash of the lights.
Thank you everyone for your support!
"Being able to bring the stories of our Chinese heroines to the international stage is a very precious thing for me."
"I would also like to thank the Oscar judges for recognizing this work."
"In the future, I will create more good characters and stories, and I also hope that the world can see more different Chinese works."
Putting aside other things.
This couple can be said to be working together towards the same goal.
Both Chen Yu and Liu Yifei are working hard for Chinese-language films.
The two continued walking forward.
It stopped next to Robin Roberts and the others.
"We meet again, Chan."
Robin Roberts looked at Chen Yu with a friendly smile.
Seeing Chen Yu return to the Oscar stage this time, he sincerely offered his blessings.
Chen Yu smiled.
"Thank you, Robin."
The other three hosts all looked at Chen Yu and Liu Yifei.
Putting everything else aside, this golden couple in the entertainment industry certainly had an extraordinary influence.
From its very first film, "Better Days," it had already made a name for itself internationally.
As for now.
The two lived up to expectations and won the highest honor.
"What do you two think this nomination means for you personally, for Chinese cinema, or for Chinese actors?"
Maria Manunos looked at Chen Yu and Liu Yifei.
This is basically the most crucial and always-asked question on the Oscars red carpet.
Hearing what the person in front of her said, Liu Yifei turned her head to look at Chen Yu.
"Whether it's Chinese films or Chinese actors, including myself."
"This all proves one thing."
"The world is paying attention to stories about China, and we hope that more Chinese films or actors of Chinese descent will appear on the international stage in the future."
Upon hearing Chen Yu's answer, Robin Roberts nodded seriously.
A hint of curiosity crossed his face.
"If you had the chance to win this award, what would be the first thing you would do?"
These words were spoken.
Chen Yu's gaze fell on where Liu Yifei was.
His thoughts were already clear.
Once everything settled down, it was time for him to propose to Liu Yifei.
"this--"
"Keep it a secret for now."
Hearing Chen Yu's words undoubtedly aroused suspicion and excitement among everyone.
For most people, this statement contained a great deal of information.
Even Liu Yifei couldn't help but feel a little confused. She and Chen Yu had mentioned their plans before, which were undoubtedly aimed at that agreement.
Screams could be heard from both sides of the red carpet from time to time.
Everyone was quite excited and naturally hoped to hear Chen Yu's answer.
but.
Since Chen Yu has already said so, it is naturally impossible to force him to do so.
"OK." "Then let's wish Chan and Crystal the best of luck in winning Best Actor and Best Actress awards."
Although it was just polite talk, if Chen Yu and Liu Yifei actually got their hands on it, it would certainly be a topic of conversation.
Under the watchful eyes of reporters on both sides of the red carpet, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei walked into the Kodak Theater.
When I arrived at the registration area, there were already staff members there to guide me.
Behind him is the Oscars' wall of honor.
Chen Yu's photo has been submitted for the Best Supporting Actor award. Unlike his youthful days, Chen Yu is now much more mature.
"Your photo will be on here after today."
Hearing her boyfriend's words, Liu Yifei's face showed a hint of anticipation.
Oscar-winning actress.
This is an honor that many actresses dream of receiving.
Liu Yifei is the same.
When she first entered the entertainment industry, she never even dared to dream of it.
After all, the level of difficulty involved was simply beyond her reach.
Putting everything else aside, even actresses of Gong Li's caliber, like Zhang Ziyi, haven't had the chance to win an Oscar for Best Actress.
If she can achieve this dream this time, Liu Yifei will probably go crazy.
Most importantly, it carries the promise between her and Chen Yu.
Liu Yifei nodded.
My heart and eyes are filled with anticipation for what's to come.
To be honest, the fact that she was able to step onto the Oscar stage today is already a joyous occasion.
Chen Yu and Liu Yifei walked inside hand in hand.
The screams behind me continued unabated.
The cheers came mostly from Chinese media reporters.
They were happy for Chen Yu, after all, this was definitely a moment of honor for Chinese cinema.
Chen Yu and Liu Yifei went inside.
When the two appeared, many people looked in their direction.
to be frank.
The existence of Chen Yu and Liu Yifei has indeed impressed many people.
once Upon a time.
They are like ants in Hollywood.
After all, the road to international recognition is incredibly difficult, yet they achieved this honor in just a few short years.
“Hello Chan”.
"Your popularity is truly astonishing. I could hear the screams from outside even from inside."
Bell quickly waved to Chen Yu.
The two have a very strong bond, after all, their collaboration in "The Dark Knight" was quite good.
"Haha, Bell."
"Please stop teasing me."
When I saw Chen Yu again, it would be a lie to say that I didn't feel a little envious.
Before this.
Christian Bale played the lead role in "The Dark Knight," but his popularity couldn't match that of the supporting actor Chen Yu.
As for now.
When the two met again, their fates were indeed very different.
Although both were nominated for the Oscars, Chen Yu received a nomination for Best Actor, while Bale only received a nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
Now that the two are reversed, it further confirms Chen Yu's current strength.
"We were just talking about you and Crystal."
James Lawrence raised an eyebrow at Liu Yifei. Everyone had a great deal of admiration for these two young filmmakers from China.
present.
Befriending them is certainly a good choice.
Putting everything else aside, the resources Chen Yu currently possesses are enough to inspire awe and admiration.
Moreover, he owns Marvel.
When filming begins, it will definitely cause a sensation.
"Oh? What did you say?"
Upon hearing Chen Yu's question, Annette Bening smiled and looked at Liu Yifei.
"Are you discussing when you and Crystal will get married?"
The two have been together for so many years, and the number of times they have appeared in public on the international stage is countless.
As for now.
It will eventually be the moment of perfect accomplishment.
Upon hearing Annette Bening's words, Chen Yu smiled and looked at Liu Yifei.
The latter was already blushing with embarrassment.
She never expected that even after coming abroad, she would still be pressured to get married.
Good things are coming soon.
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow; naturally, he didn't reveal his agreement with Liu Yifei.
Now all we need to do is wait quietly for the moment we win the award.
The two took their seats.
The venue was now full of people, all of whom were hopeful of winning the grand prize. Once everyone had arrived, everyone present was filled with excitement.
They were looking ahead.
The Oscar statuette is placed in the very center of the stage.
This undoubtedly carries everyone's hopes.
Liu Yifei rubbed her palms together, a slight flutter in her heart as she looked ahead.
This award is not only a recognition of her acting skills, but also a testament to the promise she made to Chen Yu.
"Are you ready?"
Hearing Chen Yu's words, Liu Yifei quickly turned her head to look at him, her expression showing a hint of relief.
"Always be prepared."
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Just then.
The applause around them interrupted Liu Yifei and Chen Yu's conversation. When they looked over, they found that Anne Hathaway had already appeared on the stage.
Standing next to him was James Frank, this year's Best Actor nominee.
"good evening!"
"Welcome to the 83rd Academy Awards. I am James Frank."
“I am Anne Hathaway.”
After saying that, Anne Hathaway waved to the audience.
The smile on his face was particularly noticeable.
"OMG! You guys are all real people! I thought I was dreaming, seeing so many superstars and celebrities."
have to say.
Anne Hathaway looks remarkably lively.
As Anne Hathaway finished speaking, laughter erupted from the audience.

The two people on stage were quite a sight to behold.
Both Anne Hathaway and James Frank captured this feeling perfectly.
"Haha, I saw an old acquaintance of mine."
As they were talking.
Anne Hathaway blew a kiss towards Chen Yu's location, a gesture that clearly drew the attention of many people.
Everyone naturally knows the movie "Bruce Lee," which once shocked the world. The actress who played Bruce Lee's wife in the movie was Anne Hathaway.
Chen Yu smiled and nodded.
"Tonight we're paying tribute to the best films of the year."
"Oh, right—"
"I also want to congratulate my partner James."
"You were nominated for Best Actor for '127 Hours,' which is really cool."
The two people on stage went through the procedures.
This undoubtedly put the audience in a tense moment.
Next.
Perhaps this is the final challenge! (End of Chapter)
