Chapter 1030
Grand Slam!
Liu Yifei linked arms with Chen Yu.
Like victorious soldiers returning from a battle, the two walked step by step back to their rightful places.
"so cool!"
Nolan took the little golden statuette from Chen Yu, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
In all his years in the industry, he has never had the opportunity to stand on the Oscar stage.
This time, thanks to "Joker," he at least managed to touch the Oscar for Best Director.
Having noticed Nolan's reaction, Chen Yu understood.
Nolan's international influence is absolutely extraordinary.
He can be considered a top-tier Hollywood director and a world-class international director.
His box office appeal is unmatched by most people.
Putting aside The Dark Knight, Interstellar is undoubtedly the pinnacle of science fiction.
Chen Yu has never forgotten the plot of this movie.
When it was first released, he watched it countless times.
but.
Nolan reached the true peak of his career with "Oppenheimer," a film that undoubtedly earned him two Academy Awards.
Best Picture and Best Director.
"It's making me a little envious."
Nolan gently brushed his hand over the trophy, which gave him even greater motivation for what was to come.
"OMG."
"This is the third Oscar I've won today."
Bell walked toward Chen Yu.
The Dark Knight trio has finally reunited.
"It's really enviable."
"Under the spotlight of the Best Actor and Best Director awards, my Best Supporting Actor award paled in comparison."
The people around laughed.
Bell's self-deprecating humor clearly had an effect.
More and more people looked toward where Chen Yu was.
have to say.
The three little golden statues on the table are truly enviable.
As for the domestic situation...
Many people are paying attention to the Oscars.
When people saw Chen Yu win one award after another, a sense of honor welled up within them.
after all.
Chen Yu undoubtedly represents Chinese filmmakers.
Being able to establish oneself at the Oscars has now become something everyone aspires to.
It is important to understand that Chen Yu's success represents the future rise of Chinese filmmakers and Chinese-language films on the international stage.
He single-handedly propelled the development of Chinese cinema.
Anne Hathaway has returned to the stage.
Congratulations to my longtime partner!
"He successfully won the Best Actor and Best Director awards."
As she spoke, Anne Hathaway blew a kiss towards where Chen Yu was.
This action caused everyone present to burst into laughter.
have to say.
Anne Hathaway was as lively as if she'd been drinking.
"Perfect timing to absorb some good luck."
"I hope I'll also have the chance to touch the little golden statue."
After hearing Anne Hathaway's words, Chen Yu smiled rather helplessly.
He glanced sideways at Liu Yifei, thankfully the latter showed no emotion because of Anne Hathaway's behavior.
Chen Yu still remembers it to this day.
When he was filming "Bruce Lee" with Anne Hathaway, Liu Yifei would occasionally throw a tantrum because of their intimate scenes.
At that time, they even agreed on three rules.
However, as time went by, the two no longer held any grudges over such trivial matters.
As for Anne Hathaway, she certainly got what she wanted.
In 2013, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Fantine in "Les Misérables".
This is also the only Oscar award that Anne Hathaway has ever won.
James Frank also gave a thumbs-up to where Chen Yu was.
Despite being defeated by Chen Yu, James Frank showed no emotion whatsoever.
He had never worked with Chen Yu, but he had a great interest in this outstanding filmmaker from China.
"OH!!"
"I think everyone should be just as excited as I am right now."
Anne Hathaway's voice was quite loud. She looked at the audience, and as soon as she spoke, applause resounded throughout the Kodak Theatre.
That's right.
Everyone naturally understands what Anne Hathaway meant by that statement.
tonight.
We've arrived at the final, crucial moment.
Best Picture!
The Oscar for Best Picture undoubtedly symbolizes the highest honor in the industry.
Not only that.
Winning this award undoubtedly confirms the commercial value of this work.
"Finally, we're getting to the last award."
Nolan breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon hearing this, his gaze met Chen Yu's in the air.
The two exchanged a knowing smile.
It would be a lie to say that I had no expectations at all, since the ultimate goal of all works is to obtain this highest honor.
Chen Yu's legs were crossed.
All eyes were on the awards stage.
With "Joker," he has already won the Best Actor and Best Director awards.
As for Liu Yifei...
She has already won the Best Actress award thanks to "Mulan".
The two have already gotten what they wanted.
If we say it's satisfactory, it's still a little bit lacking.
After the deafening applause, quiet discussions resumed in the audience.
Everyone was waiting.
We await the moment when the final answer will be revealed.
Their gazes all turned to Chen Yu.
To be honest, Chen Yu's successive wins of various awards have put some pressure on them.
We can't possibly take on everything.
Winning the grand slam of the three major film festivals—Cannes, Berlin, and Venice—is one thing, but the Oscars can't be carried by a Chinese person alone.
The crowd's murmurs and glances frequently fell on Chen Yu.
Liu Yifei raised an eyebrow and looked at her boyfriend.
The final grand prize.
Whether or not they have hope is no longer up to them.
In Liu Yifei's opinion, Oscar has already taught her everything he knows.
It's not easy for Chinese people to win Oscars.
now.
With Chen Yu's help, "Joker" and "Mulan" have already won several major awards.
As for the next award, even if it's just to appease others, it certainly won't be given to Chen Yu again.
Thinking this way, Liu Yifei felt a little helpless.
However, the rules of the Oscars are probably what they are, and they certainly won't be changed because of any of them.
"same--"
"It's also the most important award tonight."
"Best Picture!"
Anne Hathaway's breathing was noticeably rapid, but more than that, she was excited.
"Now, please welcome our legendary director, Steven Spielberg."
"And the award-winning producer Kathleen Kennedy."
Ahhhhh!
The screams in the arena instantly turned into a roaring roar, and everyone's faces were visibly flushed with excitement.
Putting everything else aside, Steven Spielberg is definitely a big name in Hollywood.
Or rather, he holds the record for the most Best Picture nominations for an individual producer.
A total of 13 times.
No one can stop him, no one can defeat him.
His masterpieces, Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan, won him two Academy Awards for Best Director.
As for "Schindler's List," it even won the Best Picture award.
Not only that.
Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks released films such as "American Beauty," "Gladiator," and "A Beautiful Mind," which won Best Picture for three consecutive years.
It's fair to say that his status in Hollywood is already god-like.
At this moment, Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy came onto the stage.
"It's truly an exciting moment."
"My longtime partner and I will be presenting the Best Film award for tonight."
Steven Spielberg looked at Kathleen Kennedy.
The two have maintained a friendship and collaboration for decades.
It can be said that he has created countless hit works.
E.T. and Jurassic Park.
If you were to tell anyone, those would all be big-name Hollywood productions.
"good."
"We know each other so well that we know what the other is going to say before they even open their mouths."
Kathleen Kennedy responded with a smile.
The two chatted back and forth on stage, creating a very relaxed atmosphere.
"There's something I'm also very curious about."
Steven Spielberg looked completely at ease when faced with Kathleen Kennedy's words.
"OK."
"I probably already guessed what you're curious about."
"Now, let's turn our attention to the big screen and take a look at tonight's Best Picture nominees."
Although Steven Spielberg's voice is somewhat aged, it is still remarkably loud.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the big screen.
They can't wait.
We await the moment when the final answer will be revealed.
The King's Speech
Black Swan
"clown"
The children are all doing well.
127 Hours
The Social Network
……
All ten nominated works are now fully presented to the public.
If judged by box office performance and influence, then "Joker" would definitely be the first to be mentioned.
It was an achievement that was groundbreaking.
However, as everyone knows, today's prize pool has probably reached its limit.
If Chen Yu were to win Best Picture again, it would likely incite public outrage.
In a short time.
Besides the many industry professionals in the audience, media reporters and netizens in the live broadcast room were equally excited.
The Best Picture win means this year's Oscars are nearing their end.
in this way.
These ten films are probably going to have to compete for the top spot.
"If we're talking about influence, then it's definitely our Joker."
"I doubt the Americans would agree."
"I think it should be 'The King's Speech'. Among these films, it has the widest influence, except for 'Joker'."
"Hopefully, Brother Yu can win again."
"They've already shown considerable talent. Who else in the Chinese film industry has reached that level?"
Netizens were discussing it animatedly.
In everyone's mind, only "Joker" among these ten movies has reached the pinnacle.
But they also knew in their hearts that whether they could win or not depended entirely on the Oscars.
It's clear that everyone is already familiar with the ten nominated works.
Steven Spielberg turned his gaze back to the audience.
"All right."
"Without further ado, let's announce the winner of Best Picture."
as predicted.
The big shots are truly capable.
There will be absolutely no beating around the bush or keeping secrets.
Even his speeches were quite brief.
If Kathleen Kennedy hadn't just stirred things up, Steven Spielberg obviously wouldn't have said much.
He immediately opened the award letter in his hand.
only.
Upon seeing the name above, his expression clearly showed a hint of surprise.
Such a great director usually doesn't show his emotions.
This situation has really piqued everyone's curiosity: who is the name on the award letter?
"Unbelievable".
Steven Spielberg smiled as he unfolded the award letter in his hand.
His gaze then turned to Kathleen Kennedy.
The two of them wore knowing smiles.
“Yeah.”
The winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture is—
Kathleen Kennedy looked at Steven Spielberg.
The latter moved closer to the microphone.
""clown"."
In just a moment, the atmosphere in the entire venue exploded.
Some people sat there in disbelief, while others stood up and cheered loudly.
More than anything, people were shocked!
They had no idea that Chen Yu had acquired Oscar.
present.
He swept almost all of the last few major awards.
One or two awards would be one thing, but now Chen Yu has taken all the awards for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Film.
How could they possibly accept this?
In a very short period of time.
A slight restlessness began to rise from the audience.
They knew perfectly well that Oscar's choice was definitely not wrong.
The movie "Joker" surpasses the other movies in every aspect.
But how could they swallow this insult?
A local awards ceremony was completely dominated by an outsider.
"This is insane, absolutely insane."
Many industry insiders have begun to voice their opinions.
only.
The industry professionals who were nominated for Best Film only cast approving glances at Chen Yu.
In general.
Chen Yu winning the award was entirely expected.
The Joker is truly a work that has never been seen before and will never be seen again.
It broke the box office record to become the highest-grossing film in history, undoubtedly achieving both commercial success and critical acclaim.
They understand.
Even if this award were given to any of their works, they would probably find it difficult to withstand the pressure.
Chen Yu's legs, which were crossed, were a little stiff. When he heard Steven Spielberg's announcement, even the movement of his hands stopped.
until.
"My God, I really can't believe it."
"is this real?"
"Honey, Joker won the Oscar for Best Picture."
Liu Yifei's scream finally brought Chen Yu back to his senses.
He glanced at his girlfriend, his breath seemingly stopping for a moment.
That's right.
Prior to this, he had also been considering whether he still had a chance to win Best Picture.
But when the real result was presented to him, his heart began to race.
With Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture, he undoubtedly achieved an Oscar grand slam.
to be frank.
For everyone, losing to Chen Yu was a matter of course.
After all, everyone already knew a thing or two about Chen Yu's strength.
"So lucky!"
"Chan, how did you do that?"
Nolan hugged Chen Yu tightly and jumped up, his whole body filled with excitement.
"You have become the Grand Slam winner tonight!"
If it weren't for the fact that this is an important occasion, Nolan would have really sworn.
Heal Chan.
He's a total award-winning machine! (End of Chapter)
