Chapter 368 Very sweet

"If you win a technical award, will your probability of winning a grand prize become lower?"

Some people are also worried that unless "Gravity" can sweep the Oscars like "Titanic" and "Lord of the Rings 3" did back then, there is still a high probability of this happening.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Dolby Theater was becoming increasingly tense.

Then the Best Supporting Actress award was awarded, and the prediction for this award was also very consistent, that is, Anne Hathaway.

Throughout the Oscar awards season, Anne Hathaway almost swept the awards. Her performance reached a peak in "Les Misérables" and was too dazzling.

The other nominated actresses did not have many roles, little room for performance, and their performances were mediocre and uncompetitive.

"Finally, my dream has come true. Sally, Field, Jackie, Weaver, etc. are all people I admire very much. It is a great honor to win this award. Thank you very much."

Anne Hathaway wiped the tears from her eyes on the stage and seemed to be immersed in joy.

There is only one last pre-award left before Best Director, which is Best Adapted Screenplay.

Although the Best Director Award has not yet started, Liu Yifei seems to have entered into a tense atmosphere at this moment, and she seems to be holding Li Mu's hand harder.

The favorites previously predicted by the media for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award were "Silver Linings Playbook" and "Lincoln."

The former describes an actor's dream, and contains many intriguing, meaningful and moving moments, which may resonate with insiders and lead to their votes.

The latter cleverly weaves the image of a historical great man.

However, what was unexpected was that this award was given to "Escape from Tehran", which was not favored by the media industry. The predictions were overturned again!

This seems to make the next awards a bit confusing.

There are only four biggest awards left tonight, namely Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor and Best Picture.

"Here comes the big prize, brothers."

“Finally here, praying!!!”

After the Oscar Best Director presenters Michael Douglas and Jane Fonda took the stage, the audience in front of the Chinese TV set and computers couldn't help but look forward and pray.

Speaking of tonight's Oscars, the scene that Chinese people are most looking forward to seeing is undoubtedly Li Mu winning the Best Director.

In a country with a director-centered system, in the eyes of the audience, the best director is more valuable than the best film, or at least has the same value.

Moreover, the mainland's film marketization has just taken off, and mainland movie fans basically came from the rule of a few major directors.

In addition to Chen Kaige's increasing popularity, the films of Li Mu, Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang have always been the best choices for movie fans, theaters and investors.

Especially Li Mu's movies are the most popular.

It can be said that the four major directors have definitely influenced the mainland film industry in the past twelve years since the new century, and this influence will continue.

Therefore, everyone is extremely looking forward to Li Mu winning the Best Director tonight.

But the competition for the Best Director Oscar tonight is extremely fierce.

Spielberg of "Lincoln", Li Yin of "Life of Pi" and Li Mu of "Gravity" are the three favorites.

Originally, Ben Affleck of "Escape from Tehran" also had many supporters, but the Oscars did not give him a nomination for best director, which directly left him without a competitive opponent.

The competition between Spielberg, Li Yi and Li Mu was also called by the media as a battle between academics and technology streamers!

Spielberg obviously represents the academic school, while Li Mu and Li Yin represent the technical stream!

The academic party spoke highly of "Lincoln". The film returned to a simple historical style, did not deliberately sensationalize, and progressed layer by layer. The whole film finally reached the climax of the story. In addition, biographical themes have always been Oscar's favorite, so it is worthy of winning again. nature.

Li Bian's "Life of Pi" perfectly integrates his restrained and unique artistic style with commercial genre films, and he is good at grasping and processing delicate emotions.

The colorful underwater creatures, the scene of the sea and the sky meeting in the middle of the night, the quiet sea and the stars in the night sky complement each other, and Pi's boat seems to be docked on a beautiful and huge mirror. The special effects of the entire movie can indeed be called "fantasy"!

In the film, the inner emotions of the characters are interpreted wholeheartedly, allowing the audience to experience the mixed flavors of life in the thrilling fantasy journey and the magnificent magical landscape.

As for Li Mu's "Gravity", it overcame many seemingly impossible difficulties and chose creative methods and beautiful photography perspectives to create a space epic, and it became a global box office phenomenon.

Especially the 13-minute long shot at the beginning of the movie, it was shot heartily and flawlessly, enough to leave a mark in film history!

Of course, all three films have their own shortcomings when it comes to competing for awards.

"Lincoln" was considered by many media to be too uneventful and too deliberate, and the award was given to Spielberg, who had already won two Oscars, so it no longer meant much!

"Life of Pi" and "Gravity" suffered because they were in the technical category, because compared with academic films, technical movies obviously did not please the Oscar judges.

Judging from the previous results of the Academy Award for Best Director, it is clear that the popularity of technical fantasy films is not as popular as that of the academy. Just look at the results of James Cameron and his "Avatar" for proof.

It is also because of the above reasons that the competition between the three is very fierce.

As for Michael Hennick's "Love" and David Russell's "Silver Linings Playbook," according to media predictions, they simply can't compete with the first three films.

Li Mu also exhaled slightly at this moment and calmed down his mood.

Liu Yifei gave Li Mu an encouraging look, clenched her little hands into fists, and gestured in front of Li Mu.

I happened to be photographed.

"Envy, what else can I say besides envy?"

"It's so cute. It's so nice to punch Li Mu with this little fist."

"."

At this time, the faces of the five nominees and the films they represented were displayed on the big screen on the awards stage.

Spielberg seemed calm, while Li Yin and Li Mu were smiling.

Thousands of miles away in the land of China, countless movie fans and audiences were nervously staring at the TV screen, anxiously waiting for the final result.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of countless people, award presenter Michael Douglas opened the envelope and Jane Fonda took a look at the contents. "Pretty much what I predicted."

"It's just as I predicted."

Michael Douglas and Jane Fonda seemed to be trying to make a joke.

But no one laughed. After all, the predictions of the two of you are unknown.

Michael Douglas seemed to feel it too, and finally started chanting.

"The winner of the 85th Academy Awards for Best Director is."

Halfway through the words, Michael Douglas delivered the envelope to Jane Fonda, and Jane Fonda smiled.

"Li Mu, "Gravity"! Congratulations!"

"Holy shit, it's really Li Mu. Li Mu won the Oscar for Best Director!"

"Ah, Li Mu won an Oscar. It's so awesome! It's so awesome!"

"Hahaha, I won the prize, great! Great!"

"Congratulations to Li Mu for becoming the first mainland Chinese director to win the Oscar for Best Director!"

When Jane Fonda read out Li Mu's name, countless movie fans and viewers in front of computers and TVs in Mainland China burst into excitement. After waiting for two hours, the scene they were most looking forward to seeing actually appeared!

It feels so good and exciting to have a dream come true!

There were even countless fans who were so excited that they opened their windows and shouted, "Li Mu is awesome! Li Mu is awesome!"

"Why are you making so much noise? You won't let anyone work anymore!"

"Who the hell is Li Mu? Ah? I made him become a bad guy!"

"."

Many people were frightened by the sound of howling ghosts and wolves, and couldn't help but curse!

But the movie fans didn't care, they still yelled regardless, "Li Mu is awesome! Li Mu is awesome!"

After all, it was Li Mu who was scolded!

China Film.

"Okay, I finally got it. It's finally available in the mainland."

Han Sanping looked a little excited when he saw Li Mu hugging the crew.

Mengying Media, the entire company was watching this year's Oscars, and heated discussions broke out.

Liu Weijuan smiled lightly and looked at this scene without saying a word.

At this moment, the Chinese Internet can no longer be described as boiling, as if it is crazy. This was not the case even when Li Mu won the Best Picture.

At this moment, Liu Yifei was still hanging on Li Mu, feeling a little dazed.

"Did you really win a prize?"

Liu Yifei still seemed a little unconvinced.

"Really, but you have to come down. You've been hugging me for a bit too long. People all over the world are watching."

Li Mu glanced at the situation inside the stadium, he was afraid that he would become famous.

Both the guests' eyes and the live broadcast camera seemed to be focused on the two of them.

The audience watching the live broadcast was counting the seconds with great interest.

"Let me count. I have been holding him for about seven or eight seconds now. I don't know if it has broken the Oscar record."

"It's so funny, these two."

"It's very sweet, but have you forgotten that I'm still a single dog? It's so bitter. I cried when I saw this scene."

Liu Yifei hurriedly half-covered her face, blushing, and sat down quickly.

The camera is still shooting here.

"Crystal, why don't you go on stage with your boss to receive the award?"

David was still joking.

Everyone burst into laughter.

The camera finally began to follow Li Mu all the way to the podium.

On the way, Spielberg and Li Jian also hugged Li Mu.

Both Spielberg and Li Yi had already won Best Director. Obviously they knew Li Mu's mood at the moment, so they didn't say much and quickly urged him to come on stage to accept the award.

He took the trophy from Jane Fonda and lifted it several times with one hand like lifting weights.

The audience burst into laughter.
