Chapter 1028
Who is in Chapter 1028? Best Director?
"See?"
"This is Chen Yu's strength!"
Wang Zhongjun looked at the online reports, his expression remaining completely unchanged.
Wang Zhonglei, standing beside him, remained silent.
They seemed to have long been accustomed to the situation before them.
For Chen Yu, winning awards was commonplace; normally, he would be quite indignant.
only.
I feel a bit more empathy for today's situation.
After all, Chen Yu's award has long been a matter of great interest in the Chinese film industry. His Oscar win for Best Actor has also made everyone aware of the strength of Chinese-language films.
As his brother said, they were on the wrong path from the very beginning.
If we had maintained a good relationship with Chen Yu, things wouldn't be like this now.
Huayi Brothers struggled for so long, but ended up going downhill.
As for Chen Yu and Yu Xin behind him, they have undoubtedly become international leaders.
to be frank.
Wang Zhonglei had already accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.
Through years of struggle with Chen Yu, he has come to terms with reality.
Bringing Chen Yu down is by no means an easy task.
"Never mind."
Wang Zhonglei sighed. Now that Chen Yu had won the Oscar for Best Actor, his status was incomparable to what it used to be.
Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, it really turned out just as his brother had said: they had no other choice but to find an opportunity to cooperate with Chen Yu.
"Now you know what to do, right?"
Both the Best Actor and Best Actress Oscars have been won by Chinese filmmakers.
Right now, besides offering their blessings, there's probably nothing else they can do.
Liu Yifei gestured for Chen Yu to pick up the trophy.
When the two Oscar winners, one for Best Actor and one for Best Actress, are together, it's truly impossible to ignore.
"happy!"
Liu Yifei's eyebrows were smiling.
The joys and sorrows they experienced along the way are probably only known to the two of them.
"The dust has settled."
"This time, my wish has really come true."
Gong Li looked at Chen Yu and Liu Yifei. The Oscars ceremony was nearing its end, and only the last two awards remained on stage.
but.
It seems that what follows will have little to do with them.
After all, "Joker" and "Mulan" both won Best Actor and Best Actress awards, so logically speaking, Chen Yu probably has no chance of winning the next two major awards.
Chen Yu heard Gong Li's words but did not say anything.
His gaze fell on the awards podium, his eyes filled with an ambiguous emotion.
Best Director and Best Film.
Joker has been nominated for both of these awards.
In the eyes of many, Joker probably has no chance of winning another award.
After all, the Oscars impose too many restrictions on Chinese-language films and Chinese filmmakers, and at an awards ceremony, they certainly won't give Chinese filmmakers too many opportunities to shine.
in this way.
Presumably, that's enough for now, and the next two big awards are naturally out of the question.
Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu.
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Her thoughts are similar to everyone else's: the Best Actor and Best Actress awards are already an exception, and it seems unlikely that they will win the other two major awards.
However, Chen Yu remained as steady as Mount Tai.
He showed absolutely no emotional fluctuation because of the award.
"you say--"
Who will win the Best Director award?
This statement clearly carried a hint of probing. It wasn't meant to discourage Chen Yu, but rather Liu Yifei's inquiry was simply an attempt to lay the groundwork for the outcome.
If we really fail to win, at least our emotions won't fluctuate too much.
Hearing the question from the person next to him, Chen Yu turned his head to look at his girlfriend.
The previous life.
Joker received 11 nominations amidst fierce competition, but only won Best Actor and Best Original Score.
As for now.
The situation clearly matches that of the previous life.
However, Chen Yu did not give up. With the idea of taking a chance and turning a bicycle into a motorcycle, he was actually looking forward to the outcome of the next two awards.
"The story is interpreted by the actors."
"But the true soul is given by the director."
Anne Hathaway arrived on the stage, her emotions as high as ever as she looked down at the audience.
"Now."
"We have arrived at our most exciting moment."
As the core driving force behind a work, one possesses absolute control.
"The next award will be given to the most important behind-the-scenes figures—"
"Best Director Award"
Anne Hathaway was as excited as ever.
In general.
Being able to stand on the Oscar stage as a host is truly not a job that just anyone can do.
Sometimes, Anne Hathaway really has to thank Chen Yu.
Linda in "Bruce Lee" was given an opportunity by Chen Yu.
Although Linda didn't make a big splash, she ultimately made it onto the international stage thanks to Chen Yu's abilities.
So much so.
The entire cast and crew were able to gain exposure through this opportunity.
It was after playing Bruce Lee that she secured a lot of opportunities.
"Now let's give a warm round of applause to the presenter of the Best Director award."
"The winner of the Best Director Award in the previous year."
Kathryn Bigelow.
As Anne Hathaway's voice rang out, Kathryn Bigelow gracefully walked onto the stage.
As the first female director to win an Oscar, she achieved a truly groundbreaking accomplishment.
Last year, she became the first woman to win an Oscar in the 82-year history of the Academy Awards for her role in "The Hurt Locker".
There's a little anecdote about this.
then.
Kathryn Bigelow's Hurt Locker faced off against her ex-husband James Cameron's Avatar in a phenomenal showdown.
last of the last.
Kathryn Bigelow's low-budget independent film, costing only $1100 million, completely crushed Avatar, which grossed $27 billion worldwide.
This undoubtedly breaks the male monopoly on the Best Director award.
more than this.
Kathryn Bigelow stood up for all women.
now.
The 59-year-old Oscar-winning female director stood on the stage.
His expression carried a sense of detachment.
She had already won the highest honor of the Oscars, but she still did not stop her journey.
"I am delighted to be invited by the Oscars to present this year's Best Director award."
"As the spiritual core of the team, the director can be said to be the person who controls all decisions in the crew."
"Camera, lighting and shadow, and audiovisual language."
"He directs all the technical departments and performers to bring good works to the audience."
Kathryn Bigelow looked calmly at the audience.
Chen Yu held her in high esteem.
Putting everything else aside, Kathryn Bigelow is quite skilled at filming war and action movies.
Even surpassing the average male director.
Winning the Best Director award last year wasn't just a matter of luck.
If Chen Yu is not mistaken, her film "Zero Dark Thirty" will be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture again in 2012.
This incident proves that Kathryn Bigelow's victory was never just a fluke.
"So."
"Now let's turn to the big screen and take a look at the nominees for the 83rd Academy Award for Best Director." *Clap! Clap! Clap!*
The audience erupted in applause.
Everyone was quietly waiting for this moment.
The excitement of Chen Yu and Liu Yifei winning the big prize has not yet subsided.
As for now.
They will receive an even greater shock.
As the applause subsided, five nominees appeared on the big screen.
The Clown -- Chen Yu
The King's Speech -- Tom Hopper
Black Swan -- Darren Aronofsky
The Social Network -- David Fincher
True Grit -- The Coen Brothers
Cheers erupted from the audience.
have to say.
Chen Yu is practically on a winning streak; the 11 awards nominated for "Joker" encompass almost all the major awards.
Best Actor, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Picture.
but.
Being shortlisted is one thing, but winning is another.
Furthermore,
He had just won Best Actor, and his girlfriend won Best Actress for her self-written and directed film, "Mulan."
With the recent marriage proposal, Chen Yu is truly a winner in life.
In this way, the spotlight should finally be given over.
As the nomination list was announced, everyone's eyes darted between the five nominees.
Before this.
The most promising candidates are Chen Yu and Tom Hopper.
The impact of both "The King's Speech" and "The Joker" is immeasurable.
However, Chen Yu has already won numerous awards.
Having already received all the accolades he deserves, winning the Best Director award would be extremely difficult.
In a short time.
People tend to favor Tom Hopper.
Media reporters published photos and text in real time, showing their choice between the two.
It became a hot topic online.
Chen Yu's works have won awards one after another, coupled with such a romantic marriage proposal.
This undoubtedly sparked everyone's enthusiasm.
What they are most looking forward to now is who will be the next winner of this award.
"Given the Oscars' track record, they're unlikely to continue awarding prizes to Yu Ge."
"It doesn't matter! We've already won the Oscar for Best Actor, so what's one or two more awards?"
"If you ask me, none of these five shortlisted works can compare to the popularity of 'Joker'."
"What's the use of high popularity? The decision-making power still rests with the Oscar judging panel."
"..."
Netizens were discussing it animatedly.
Everyone is waiting.
Although I don't have much confidence in the outcome.
After all, the Oscars' attitude towards Chinese filmmakers was already well understood from their previous participation.
They certainly wouldn't allow Chinese filmmakers to excel.
It's not just them.
Reporters from major media outlets and industry insiders share the same view.
In their view, Chen Yu was already out of luck for the last two major awards.
There's no need to wait any longer.
Kathryn Bigelow gave everyone ample time to exchange ideas.
The winner is currently unknown to anyone except the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences judges.
She slowly and deliberately opened the award letter in her hand.
to be frank.
It would be a lie to say she had no emotions at all. Around this time last year, she successfully entered the ranks of Oscar nominees for Best Director with "The Hurt Locker".
She used awards to prove her abilities.
Now she hopes to continue this award.
Chen Yu's expression changed slightly.
To be honest, he's not sure about himself right now.
The previous life.
Joker also had the highest popularity, but it failed to win the final award because the competition was too strong.
The most outrageous thing is that the Joker script, as an R-rated script, is relatively weak compared to other commercial films.
Chen Yu made the changes, but he didn't know if they would be effective.
The audience was becoming increasingly excited, with many waiting for the final result.
The applause mingled with the flashes of light, making everything seem mysterious.
Liu Yifei reached out and grasped Chen Yu's hand, sensing the change in her boyfriend's emotions.
Based on what we just said, she had no hope of winning the Best Director award.
But when Chen Yu's name appeared on the big screen, that feeling of excitement returned.
She hopes.
Chen Yu could win another major award.
When the time was right.
Kathryn Bigelow simply showed the award letter in her hand.
As the presenter, she felt a suffocating sensation.
"I declare."
The winner of the Best Director award at the 83rd Academy Awards is—
The entire room fell silent.
They are waiting for that name to appear.
Is it Tom Hopper? Or David Fincher? Or perhaps? It's Chen Yu, who has already won two major awards today!
It probably isn't him.
After all, their luck had probably already run out.
Kathryn Bigelow looked at the name on the award letter.
In just a moment.
The expression on his face froze for a moment.
It's shocking! It's unbelievable!
Everyone naturally noticed her emotion and were momentarily puzzled.
Who could it be? Who could elicit such a strong reaction from Kathryn Bigelow?
Nolan looked at Chen Yu beside him.
As always, this guy received a lukewarm response.
Despite being only in his early twenties, he gives off a remarkably mature and composed vibe.
Especially when the two first started working together, Nolan even felt that Chen Yu was a bit old-fashioned.
Who do you think it could be?
Nolan was genuinely curious, and if given the chance, he would also like to be nominated for an Oscar.
If I could win this grand prize, I would die without regrets.
Before this.
He is quite confident about "Joker".
But he did hear some of the whispers around him.
Chen Yu's chances of winning the award are not high now.
As they all know, the Oscars are already quite generous with the Best Actor and Best Actress awards.
"uncertain."
Chen Yu uttered three words softly.
He is also experiencing mixed emotions, and judging from Kathryn Bigelow's reaction alone, it's impossible to guess the real winner.
"Let nature take its course."
Nolan shrugged.
The person in front of me had a good attitude and wasn't anxious at all like him.
The sound came from the awards stage again, and the entire Kodak Theater was so quiet that you could almost hear everyone's heartbeats.
Kathryn Bigelow finally raised her head.
"He is truly a talented filmmaker."
These words were spoken.
This caused chaos once again.
Who is it? Who exactly is being referred to in this question? (End of Chapter)
