Full-time actor

Chapter 823 Oscar's unexpected shift to the center position!

in previous years.

Liu Yifei watched the Oscars live on Tomato.com.

This is the highest honor that filmmakers around the world strive for, and being nominated is already a testament to one's ability.

As for this moment—

With "Better Days", Liu Yifei finally set foot on this land with Chen Yu.

Domestic media are also broadcasting the news in real time.

Shen Xiaoqin and Liu Xiaoli, far away in the capital, had already been sitting in front of their computers.

They were clearly quite proud at that moment.

Looking at the number of people displayed in the upper right corner of the Tomato website, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but sigh.

Next, she will see her daughter and Chen Yu ascend to this sacred hall.

"Our Xiaoyu and Qianqian will be on stage in a little while."

"May my children win the grand prize today."

Shen Xiaoqin was very sincere; she believed that her son could definitely do it.

"I'm sure I'll win this award."

Liu Xiaoli looked completely confident.

"It's about Xiao Yu's Oscar win, I wonder when that will be..."

In fact, the popularity of "Better Days" was unprecedented at the time.

After all, winning awards at the three major film festivals is enough to prove its strength.

at this time.

Celebrities have already started walking the red carpet.

A series of sharp screams began to echo in the live stream room.

Being able to attend the Oscars is already proof of one's talent on the red carpet.

Compared to Shen Xiaoqin, Liu Xiaoli is a little more familiar with these people in the industry.

The two were chatting at the moment. After all, they didn't know the people coming and going, so they couldn't understand the excitement that fans felt when they saw their idols.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei have arrived at the waiting area.

Looking towards the end of the red carpet, Liu Yifei suddenly became a little excited.

He pointed excitedly in that direction.

"look!"

"It's a giant standing portrait of Bruce Lee."

Chen Yu looked in the direction Liu Yifei pointed and noticed the huge poster standing there.

Liu Yifei was somewhat surprised.

This is on the Oscars red carpet, and Chen Yu's promotional poster actually appeared.

It's obvious without even thinking that it was Robert Shea who ran the advertisement.

"Bruce Lee" is currently showing in theaters, and it seems that Robert Shea is really going to great lengths to generate even more buzz.

Viewers in the live stream also noticed this issue.

The giant statue of Chen Yu, with his piercing gaze, appeared before everyone in a classic fighting pose.

"This is so impressive!"

"This is clearly a declaration of Yu Ge's status in the entire film industry, it's amazing!"

"Why wasn't 'Bruce Lee' nominated? 'Bruce Lee' is so popular. If it had been nominated, our Brother Yu would definitely have won Best Actor!"

"An Oscar-winning actor! Old Yu is just missing this piece of the puzzle!"

"They probably missed the deadline, since the review period is from early January to December of the following year!"

"That'll definitely happen next year! Brother Yu will surely be an Oscar winner then!"

"Don't open the champagne halfway through!"

"It's not good to have too many illusions. After all, it's a white award. It's very, very difficult for an Asian to win it. It's almost impossible!"

The current relationship between China and the United States is clearly relatively harmonious.

Moreover, there are many who fawn over the US.

Everyone surely hopes that Chen Yu can be crowned an Oscar-winning actor.

However, Hollywood is still very xenophobic. Getting nominated is already quite an achievement, and winning the Oscar for Best Actor is probably not so easy.

of course.

These are everyone's wishes.

Regardless, everyone can attest to the power of Bruce Lee.

It was able to break 14 billion yuan in box office revenue in a short period of time.

Reaching second place on the global box office chart is enough to make many films around the world look on with envy.

“chan——”

"chan!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Our Xiaoyu and Qianqian are walking the red carpet."

Upon hearing the voice beside her, Liu Xiaoli hurriedly looked up and noticed her daughter and future son-in-law dazzlingly appearing on the red carpet.

Chen Yu's tall and slender figure was accentuated by his black suit.

As for Liu Yifei, she was even more stunningly beautiful standing next to Chen Yu.

"They're such a perfect match!"

"I wish this were the wedding of these two children."

Shen Xiaoqin has long since taken the pressure to get married to the extreme.

After all, the two have been together for six years, and it's time to get down to business.

"They're so popular!"

"It felt like people on both sides of the red carpet were calling out the names of the two children."

"They are indeed very popular, to a degree that seems to surpass that of Jackie Chan and Jet Li."

In Chen Peidong's memory, Jackie Chan and Jet Li were already considered top superstars.

but.

They seemed to be less popular than their own son.

Not only that.

Liu Xiaoli glanced at the top right corner of Tomato; the number of online users had just surged to over 200 million.

He still knew that number.

At this moment, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei had already stepped onto the red carpet, while the audience around the Oscar red carpet was already in high spirits.

"Kung Fu Superstar Chan! I love you!"

"chan!"

The host was stunned by the spectacular scene before him.

Compared to just now, the noise from both sides of the red carpet was already deafening.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei walked hand in hand to the center of the red carpet.

It's important to know that during a typical Oscars red carpet ceremony, each person is limited to a maximum of two minutes.

Basically, you have to walk the red carpet and can't dawdle at all.

Even two years ago, Chen Yu only made an appearance; let alone an interview, it would be a treat to walk the red carpet.

But this year!
This year is very different!
When Chen Yu and Liu Yifei appeared, reporters from various media outlets began asking them a barrage of questions.

This is, of course, a privilege bestowed upon us by Bruce Lee.

Staff members even directed people to a designated spot for media reporters to take photos.

What should have been a two-minute red carpet walk was dragged on for ages.

The hosts had been waiting for a long time, their faces beaming with smiles, clearly looking forward to Chen Yu's arrival.

Netizens continued to discuss it.

Finally, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei arrived at the end of the red carpet.

The hosts quickly stepped forward, expressing their great appreciation for Chen Yu's portrayal of Bruce Lee.

Almost every frame is worth recording.

"Welcome our kung fu superstar Chan and Oscar-winning actress Crystal."

"They really are a match made in heaven!"

The two responded politely to the host's questions.

"As we all know, Chan is currently starring in a hit movie called Bruce Lee, which has already grossed $14 billion worldwide shortly after its release."

"Having achieved such phenomenal success, is there anything you'd like to say?"

The camera then turned to Chen Yu.

The audience erupted in thunderous applause once again.

Not only that, the number of viewers in the live stream also surged instantly.

"Thank you all for your support."

"It is my honor to portray Mr. Bruce Lee, and I hope to bring Chinese Kung Fu to the world."

"..."

Chen Yu spoke succinctly.

The applause erupted once again. It must be said that Chen Yu brought everyone many surprises.

So, are there any new film plans for this year?

As the host asked him a question, Chen Yu looked to both sides of the red carpet.

As for the live stream, everyone is already eagerly anticipating it.

In fact, everyone already has a general understanding of Chen Yu's plans for this year.

Filming for "The Grand Budapest Hotel" has already been completed.

It will definitely be released this year.

As for the "Tangshan Earthquake" that was just revealed a few days ago, it is probably still under construction in secret.

"some."

"We will also be releasing a film that I wrote, directed, and starred in this year, so please look forward to it."

Is it "The Grand Budapest Hotel"?

Chen Yu nodded seriously.

This is already common knowledge, after all, it caused a sensation when the audition for actors took place.

"With 'The Youth' nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, are you confident of winning this award?"

This was definitely the actor who had the longest interview of the entire event.

Moreover, the interviews were all formulaic.

That's how the rules are at the Oscars.

Having popularity and strength is the most powerful thing.

"Have!"

"I came here specifically for the awards!"

"Ha ha……"

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu with admiration, her eyes filled with joy.

For her, being able to see her man shine and give off warmth is a happy thing in itself.

"I hope we can achieve good results this time, and I also hope that next year's 'Bruce Lee' will bring Chan a big award."

The host had just finished speaking.

The audience erupted in applause once again; Chen Yu truly deserved the honor!

The interview session is over.

Chen Yu turned to face both sides of the red carpet, smiling and waving to the crowd.

He sincerely greeted every fan who supported him, and that gesture alone ignited the entire venue.

Cheers and the clicking of camera shutters filled the air.

The applause came like a tidal wave.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, Liu Yifei linked arms with Chen Yu, and the two entered the awards ceremony venue together.

At this moment, the Oscars ceremony officially begins.

With the help of the staff, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei found their seats.

I had barely sat down when I heard Tom Hanks praising me from beside me.

"Chan, no wonder he's a kung fu superstar."

"I just saw it all; you exuded confidence on the red carpet."

"Everyone is thrilled for you."

Chen Yu smiled and nodded, saying that there's absolutely nothing wrong with foreigners liking to compliment people.

at this time.

Familiar laughter rang out from the stage.

Jon Stewart appeared on the podium with a relaxed demeanor.

"ladies and gentlemen!"

"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the 80th Academy Awards."

"First of all, congratulations to our screenwriters on their return!"

"Without you, this year's Oscars would probably have to be held online."

As soon as these words came out.

The entire audience burst into laughter, knowing full well that Jon Stewart was keeping up with current events.

"Today's podium is unlike any other; its absurd yet profound core will give everyone a unique perspective."

"First is 'No Country for Old Men,' which tells the story of someone who finds money for drugs and commits murder."

"Secondly, there's 'There Will Be Blood,' a film about killing people for oil."

"These two movies will definitely be an eye-opener."

Chen Yu looked towards the stage.

No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood were two strong contenders in 2008.

Both books make no attempt to explore the darker aspects of human nature, such as greed, violence, and morality.

In its previous life, "No Country for Old Men" won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay with eight nominations.

As for "There Will Be Blood"—

With his strong style, he won Best Actor and Best Cinematography.

Both works retain a unique artistic charm and offer profound insights into human nature.

Applause erupted from the audience.

As everyone knows, the competition between "There Will Be Blood" and "No Country for Old Men" is fierce.

"The shortlisted works this year cover a variety of themes."

"We have a film called 'The Youth' that has been nominated for Best Foreign Language Film. It addresses the issue of bullying among teenagers in schools, and this is something that definitely deserves everyone's attention."

"Speaking of 'The Youth,' everyone must know the protagonist of this movie, Chan."

"A film titled 'Bruce Lee' was recently released."

"It got me so excited that I even signed up for a kung fu class."

Jon Stewart steered the conversation toward Chen Yu.

The entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

The big screen thoughtfully switched to Chen Yu's location, and the stunning beauty of Chen Yu and Liu Yifei immediately drew gasps from the crowd!
He reached out and waved at the camera.

The people present became increasingly excited.

"In short, today is a big day for filmmakers."

"Besides the competition among various films, I also hope that everyone can realize their dreams."

"Next-"

Let's begin!

After Jon Stewart left the stage, a song and dance performance followed.

The ceremony is the same as the award ceremony in China.

After the song and dance performances, the awards for technical and artistic categories will be presented.

These things have little to do with Chen Yu and his group.

After all, "Better Days" only had one nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.

The ceremony is in progress.

The eyes of movie fans worldwide are focused here, and the live stream is bustling with activity.

As the technical awards were presented one by one, the next award to be presented was finally the one for which "Better Days" was nominated.

"Next, let's welcome the award presenters—"

Cate Blanchett.

As soon as the host finished speaking, cheers erupted from the entire audience.

This internationally renowned Australian actress was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in "Elizabeth".

Her portrayal of Galadriel, the Elf Queen, in "The Lord of the Rings" has become a classic in the hearts of movie fans.

His powerful presence and superb acting skills have led movie fans to often call him "The Great Demon King".

"Hello everyone!"

"It is an honor to present this award for Best Foreign Language Film."

Applause erupted from the audience.

It has to be said that Cate Blanchett's influence is undeniable.

"Film is a language to tell stories about love and courage."

"The films nominated for Best Foreign Language Film this year are precisely these kinds of works; they come from different countries, but they are doing the same thing."

Let's step into their stories and witness their extraordinary brilliance.

Cate Blanchett never reads out the nomination list verbatim.

In her view, every award deserves the best attitude.

"And now—"

"Let's witness together which films have been nominated for Best Foreign Language Film."

As Cate Blanchett spoke, the nomination list instantly appeared on the big screen! (End of Chapter)
