China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 411 Sweeping across China! From now on, this is Guan Ling's form!

Hengdian.

The filming site of "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

Yang Mi joined the crew seamlessly. After finishing filming "Palace", she immediately started filming this fantasy TV series. The director of this TV series is Liang Shengquan, one of the directors of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III".

This is the director who was finally confirmed through communication with Tangren.

"Yang Mi, why are you so absent-minded? If you don't want to act, don't act."

Liang Shengquan glanced at Yang Mi. In fact, Yang Mi had always given him a good impression, a feeling of a desperate woman, but today it was obvious that she was not in good shape.

Liang Shengquan was very dissatisfied.

He has a bad temper and basically never pampers his actors.

Even though he knew in his heart that Yang Mi was deliberately forced in to be the lead actor, he did not give Yang Mi an absolutely favorable face.

Yang Mi had long understood Liang Shengquan's temper. He was not a bad person after all. They had worked together before on "Chinese Paladin III".

I just prefer to be impatient.

"Director Liang, don't you watch the news?"

Yang Mi said, "The Oscars are being presented today."

"What does the Oscar have to do with you? Just focus on filming your TV series," Liang Shengquan scolded, and then suddenly froze on the spot.

He swallowed and hesitated.

"Director Guan?"

Yang Mi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Having communicated with Liang Shengquan many times before, Yang Mi knew that Director Liang particularly respected Guan Ling.

Ever since Director Guan Ling first confronted the audience at the Oscars and said that "Infernal Affairs" belonged to China, many Hong Kong directors have felt close to Guan Ling.

Liang Shengquan was a director of Shaw Brothers Films and had always dreamed of becoming a film director.
In the 1980s, he co-produced a few bad movies with Wang Jing, and has never made a movie since then.

In a flash, it’s been almost thirty years.

At that time, he was about the same age as Guan Ling.

With my dream of making movies in mind, I plunged into this big dye vat.

But now, he can only shoot TV series.

Directing a movie is his dream, but filming is his life.

But this did not affect his complete identification with Guan Ling. Every time he heard explosive news about Guan Ling, he would feel proud, as if those awards were pinned on his head.

The old man, now 53 years old, was speechless for a moment.

In a daze.

Liang Shengquan felt his heart beating rapidly.

He didn't know why.
As a director, he was not surprised by the awards and was well aware of the film award ceremonies. He knew that Guan Ling had received many nominations at this year's Oscars, but he did not pay attention to the time.

These things had nothing to do with him, but he just felt proud of them.

If he wins the award, he feels that he will be very excited...

"I'll give you guys a break. Let's go back and shoot after watching the award ceremony."

Liang Shengquan's mood changed quickly. His mind was full of watching the award ceremony. He didn't think much about it and just took a day off.

Yang Mi was so excited that she couldn't close her mouth. She ran to her RV, turned on the TV, and began to stare at the video without blinking.

…………

Compared with the three major European awards, the Oscar award ceremony time has always been very friendly to China.

It is the morning of February 2011, 2, the 28th day of the first lunar month, an ordinary Monday.

And because it was Monday, many people went to work.

But influenced by the people around me, the discussions, and the crazy propaganda on the Internet,
Countless Chinese people are already looking forward to the start of the Oscar awards ceremony.

There were even many night owls who were binge-watching the news online last night, and even today when they go to work, many people don't care at all.

Can't wait is a true reflection of many people's inner feelings.

Ma Yufei is a person who doesn't care about going to work.

Because he is a self-employed film critic and does not need to go to work.

At 8:30 in the morning, more than half an hour before the award ceremony, he sat in front of the computer, ready to see what kind of surprises this year's Oscars ceremony would bring to everyone.

"I hope Guan Ling can bring honor to Chinese filmmakers."

Although film critics are often criticized, Ma Yufei still feels that he belongs to this circle.

Even if they are marginal figures.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the award ceremony officially began.

After the Oscar host said a lot of nonsense, Ma Yufei couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The first award was for Best Art Direction, and the presenter was Tom Hanks.

The winner was Alice in Wonderland.
It's not Inception.
Guan Ling’s first nomination, but unfortunately she was not selected.

But the live broadcast gave people the feeling that no one cared about this award.

Inside the venue, many people were applauding, but most of them were not surprised and did not look up.

Guan Ling didn't even look up, but just clapped his hands out of respect.

The live camera also focused on the crew of "Alice in Wonderland". Their art director Robert went on stage to receive the award very quickly.

During the live broadcast, Ma Yufei saw several Chinese judges of the Oscars.

Without exception, they all arrived at the scene.

Chen Chong, Zhang Ziyi, and Wu Junmei, several judges should have cast their votes long ago.

Ma Yufei thought it was normal that Junmei Wu was there, after all, she was an actor in the crew, but now several people were on the scene, and Ma Yufei felt a little surprised.

"Is there something going on?"

According to the latest process announced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences this year, the timing of this year's Kodak Theater awards was determined long ago.

The heavyweight awards are interspersed between various awards, such as the Best Supporting Actress is the third award.

Best Supporting Actor is the ninth award.

This will maximize the ratings for the entire awards ceremony.

The second award is Best Cinematography, for which "Inception" is also nominated.

Before the award ceremony, Ma Yufei was a little nervous.

At the scene, Liu Yifei was already a little nervous.

She had seen many big scenes, but had never won many awards, so at the Oscars, her heart was pounding and she was nervous for Guan Ling.

On the contrary, Guan Ling acted as if he was taking it lightly, as if he didn't care about the award at all.

"The winner is... Pfister's Inception!"

Second nomination, a hit!
The camera turned to the crew of "Inception". Guan Ling was still calm, but Feist looked surprised.

"Go."

Nolan patted Fister on the shoulder and said, "Go get your little golden man."

Pfister is excited to move forward!
Ma Yufei let out a long sigh. Guan Ling had won one of the many nominations this time, which showed that the other party was not too harsh on Chinese directors.

At least it wasn't a complete failure.

This is a good thing.

On TV, various award ceremonies were still going on.

……

Most of the awards after "Best Supporting Actress, Best Animation, Best Animated Short Film, Best Adapted Screenplay..." have nothing to do with Guan Ling.

The Best Original Screenplay award is heart-warming.

Unfortunately, the award was taken away by "The King's Speech" and "Inception" was in vain.

The next award attracted the attention of all of Asia: the Best Foreign Language Film Award.

The award was presented by Helen Mirren.

"The show has begun."

Director Tong, who had missed the Golden Globe Awards ceremony before, was now sitting at his desk, staring at the screen intently.

A sense of tension began to spread.

Since the Best Foreign Language Film Award was established at the 1947th Academy Awards in 20, it has been presented 62 times.

In the past 63 years, Chinese-language films produced in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan have only been nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Award eight times. In the end, the only winners were "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" by Taiwanese director Ang Lee and "Shoplifters" by Guan Ling.

As an award that provides opportunities for world films, its selection has long formed its own rules and characteristics.

Comedy films, romance films, drama films, war films, crime films.

In the past 20 years, the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film have mostly been awarded in these categories. The Father can be classified as a drama, but it has more suspense and family elements.

But even though it won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, "In a Better World" is still the biggest favorite at this year's Oscars.

As the director, Director Tong has seen more big scenes than others, but at this moment, he was still panicked.

Unlike the Golden Globe Awards, this year's Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film, except for "In a Better World", have changed two of the other three categories. The Greek film "Dogtooth" and the Canadian film "The Last Airbender" broke through the top nine and entered the final nomination list.

At the Cannes Film Festival, Guan Ling's opponent, Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, and films from Hong Kong and Taiwan were all eliminated.

Therefore,

He knew how many eyes were staring at Guan Ling.

The entire mainland, Taiwan, and even Japan, South Korea, and Thailand are paying attention to this only young species in East Asia.

Some people expected him to win, while others expected him to lose.

Or perhaps even more of the latter.

When the name "Father" was called out on the stage, cheers suddenly rang in Director Tong's ears.

Outside his office, the staff of the Film Bureau were also cheering!
Guan Ling won the award!

Director Tong's breathing gradually became calm, and then his chest seemed to open up, and he exhaled a breath of foul air.

He clenched his fists and his throat tightened slightly.

An emotional release suddenly burst out.

There was a lot of public outcry, and he was afraid that Guan Ling would not win the award and become a big joke.

And now, everything has been frozen.

Guan Ling is still Guan Ling.

Those people in East Asia who like to laugh at jokes,
Your dad is still your dad!
With this award, Chinese-language films have become brilliant at the Oscars!

……

As for the Best Supporting Actor award, it was not surprising that Bale won.

"Inception" won two awards including Best Original Music, Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound Editing, Best Makeup, and Best Costume Design. The award presenter on the stage was Scarlett Johansson, who had a sweet smile and looked a bit like Hepburn.

"Although it wasn't director Nolan or Guan who went on stage to receive the award, I hope you can hear my expectations. If you have any movies next time, feel free to contact me."

On the podium, Scarlett directly applied for a job.

This caused a burst of laughter.

After the short film and documentary awards, "Inception" won again, the Best Visual Effects Award.

Despite multiple nominations, Nolan has yet to take the stage.

Guan Ling also came on stage because of "The Father Trapped in Time".

"We have no chance." With the Best Director award coming up soon, Nolan's eyes have become dim.

This year, the Best Director award will be presented before the Best Actress and Best Actor awards. The signal sent out by this process is very simple.

There is no suspense about the Best Director!
After the Oscars officially announced that they would not give out double yolks like the Golden Globes, Nolan knew very well that he would not win the Best Director award because they were nominated together.

So the awards end here, unless "Inception" unexpectedly wins the Best Picture.

Otherwise, it almost means that Nolan will get nothing.

Leonardo looked at the little golden man in Guan Ling's hand at this moment, feeling quite regretful.

But when he saw Nolan's miserable look, he felt secretly delighted.

Then, with the Best Film Editing and Best Original Song awards coming to an end,

Kathryn Bigelow took the stage to present the award.

The camera is focused on the directors nominated for Oscars.

At this moment, all the people who were paying attention to this award were like the barrel of a gun, which had already exploded.

"Guan Ling went to the Oscars and won the Best Foreign Language Film Award. I saw this story last year!"

"We can only see if You Benchang can win an award for Best Actor, but that's too difficult. The Golden Globe Awards are double yolks. Colin Firth was nominated but didn't win last year, so why shouldn't he get one this year?"

"It's an American award, giving you a double yolk is already a big honor. The Oscars will definitely favor their own people. You only have three or five Chinese judges, what's the use of that?"

"Let's not talk about this for now. Is it possible that Guan Ling will win the Best Director award? Why am I a little nervous?!"

"Strictly avoid double yolk eggs! Do you know the value of these words? Guan Ling and Nolan were nominated together, so this is also a double yolk egg in disguise. It must not be awarded!"

"Then they shouldn't have been nominated. They already knew they wouldn't win. What suspense would there be?!"

Some netizens are more rational. They analyzed from an objective perspective and believed that it would be difficult for the Oscars to give Guan Ling the Best Director award.

Han Sanpin is sitting at home. I'm not going to work today.

He took a leave of absence, and her daughter had not yet started school, so Han Jianv sat next to him.

"Dad, I saw on the Internet that Senior Brother has no chance."

"Of course not. Ang Lee, who won the Best Director Oscar, has only made English films. The Oscars have always favored art films and not commercial blockbusters. Inception has such a high global box office, it can't have both."

Han Sanpin showed little interest.

This year is just another ordinary year.

After Guan Ling won the Best Foreign Language Film Award last year, there seems to be no absolute expectation for her to win it again this year.

Only the one with You Benchang is worth looking forward to, but it's very difficult.

And on the stage,
Catherine picked up the golden envelope in her hand.

"The winner of the Best Director award is..."

When she took it out, she paused.

His eyes widened, seeming a little frightened.

Hilary Swank next to her continued reading what she was saying.

"Guan, the director of Inception and The Father!"

After reading the line of words in the envelope.

The entire Kodak Theater exploded!
