"juvenile"

……

The nominees for the 80th Academy Awards' Best Foreign Language Film appeared on the big screen in Kodak Cinemas.

"Oh oh oh~~~"

The cheers of the crowd resounded throughout the venue. Judging from the popularity of these five works alone, it was easy to guess the final winner.

In the live broadcast room.

Netizens have become increasingly enthusiastic.

"No need to guess! Our Brother Yu will definitely win an award."

“If it weren’t for the Oscars’ exclusion policy, I think ‘Better Days’ could have won a major award.”

"With everyone online, this is definitely a victory moment for the export of Chinese film culture."

"However, the results of a selection process dominated by white people are always limited. I hope our Brother Yu can win an award."

"..."

Netizens discussed it animatedly.

The standards and perspectives of the Oscars inevitably carry a certain degree of rigidity.

Winning an award is certainly a good thing, but if they can't win the award, they know it's unlikely to be the reason for the failure of this work.

For a while.

The atmosphere on the field was quite solemn.

The directors of these five works appeared on the big screen.

The moment Chen Yu appeared, the online buzz exploded again.

That's right.

Chen Yu's current abilities are beyond question and do not need this award to prove them.

He himself is the biggest draw.

Cate Blanchett tore open the envelope in her hand and then glanced at the list of winners.

The smile on her face was extremely gentle.

This scene began to fuel everyone's speculation.

The film that won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film this year is—

""juvenile"!"

boom!
In an instant, the entire audience erupted in deafening applause.

Deserved!

Chen Yu sat in his seat, while the others present clapped happily.

They were genuinely moved for Chen Yu.

"Chan! Congratulations!"

"Wow, I knew this award was meant for you!"

"Great!"

Everyone around him stood up and then came to Chen Yu's side to hug him.

Tom Hanks hugged Chen Yu tightly.

"I told you you'd win this time."

"The Youth is the best Chinese film I've ever seen!"

Chen Yu nodded, thanked everyone present, and hugged them before turning his gaze to the podium.

Liu Yifei was incredibly excited.

Despite having won countless awards, Chen Yu still feels excited whenever she experiences such glory.

She was also involved in this film, in particular.

And this is the Oscars!
A hall of fame symbolizing the highest honor in global cinema.

Chen Yu was seen walking onto the stage.

Cate Blanchett immediately smiled and handed him the little golden statuette she was holding.

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

Chen Yu smiled, bowed to accept it, and then stood up, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

His eyes conveyed composure and calmness, but even more so, a sense of steadiness.

"I'm delighted to have won Best Foreign Language Film."

"Thank you to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for giving me the opportunity to stand on this stage."

"I also want to thank all the staff who contributed to this film. It was your passionate performances that brought out the most genuine emotions in each character."

"I also want to thank my leading lady, Crystal Liu!"

"She inspired me, which gave me the opportunity to bring this film to the public."

"at last."

"Chinese films will have many more wonderful stories waiting to be seen by the world; this is just the beginning."

"Chinese filmmakers will continue to work hard for this. Thank you everyone!"

Chen Yu bowed deeply to the audience.

"Better Days" has already received too many honors and awards, so Chen Yu's acceptance speech was basically just a casual remark, and he didn't need to say too many high-sounding words, because everyone actually knew that this was his work.

From Venice to China and then to the Oscars, "Better Days" has won more than 20 awards.

Now, it should be the most important one.

clap clap clap!
There was thunderous applause.

Everyone is cheering for this kung fu superstar.

He proved with his actions that Chinese films will eventually shine brightly around the world.

Netizens are already impatient.

With Chen Yu winning the award, the entire live broadcast room was once again engulfed in a fierce storm.

"How many Oscars has Yu Ge won now? It's time to lift the Best Actor trophy."

"Given Bruce Lee's current popularity, he's definitely going to win the Grand Slam next year!"

"expect!"

"Next year, 'Bruce Lee' will definitely sweep the acting awards!"

"Just wait and see, Brother Yu will definitely bring back an Oscar-winning actor next year!"

"It's time to take down that damn last piece of the puzzle!"

"Bruce Lee absolutely could!"

Countless people were talking about it.

At this moment, Chen Yu returned to his seat with the little golden statuette in his hand, while Liu Yifei had already given him a thumbs up.

His lover always provides the highest emotional value.

"Mr. Chen is amazing!"

Liu Yifei accepted the little golden statuette and happily stuck it on her face.

She can't share the honors of "Departures", but she can share the honors of "Better Days".

The awards continue.

Such a scene naturally brings joy to some and sorrow to others.

Until the last major Oscar, Best Picture was won by the Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men".

The 80th Academy Awards came to a close with the Best Picture award being presented.

The news that "Better Days" won Best Foreign Language Film at this year's awards ceremony had already been publicized by the media.

Many internet portals published the images and text.

Numerous media outlets began to rush to report on it; everyone seemed to have been waiting for this moment.

[Chen Yu won another Oscar, but unfortunately only for Best Foreign Language Film!]

[Two Best Foreign Language Films!]

Is the final piece of the puzzle for a Golden Slam still a long way off?

How long until Chen Yu wins an Oscar for Best Actor?

[Is Best Foreign Language Film just a stepping stone? When will Chen Yu be able to become emperor?]

……

With the conclusion of the 80th Academy Awards ceremony, media reporters began to widely publicize the news.

This is the second time Chen Yu has won the Best Foreign Language Film award.

Clearly, the Best Foreign Language Film award did not enhance his reputation; instead, it sparked much discussion.

He's just one Oscar winner away from achieving a Grand Slam.

only.

This honor, however, was long overdue for Chen Yu to receive.

Having declined their invitation to go out and celebrate, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei returned home.

along the way.

Liu Yifei is always following the news online.

Seeing his girlfriend sometimes laughing heartily and sometimes frowning, Chen Yu subconsciously looked over.

"what happened?"

He pushed the news on his phone over, but Chen Yu didn't show any emotion after reading the news.

This matter cannot be rushed for him.

To fulfill your wish, you definitely need to proceed steadily and surely.

"do not mind."

"Didn't we already win Best Foreign Language Film?"

Liu Yifei nodded after hearing Chen Yu's words.

She wasn't angry; she was just indignant on Chen Yu's behalf.

"I believe that this time next year, you will definitely win the Oscar for Best Actor."

Seeing Liu Yifei's confident expression, Chen Yu smiled faintly and remained silent.

Everyone can see Bruce Lee's current strength.

Therefore, Chen Yu has not taken these online news releases seriously from the beginning until now.

The more you want something, the more likely it is to become a knot in your heart.

A calm and normal mindset is actually better.

"It might not be possible next year, but... it definitely will be possible in the future!"

Chen Yu smiled at Liu Yifei.

Next, they still have many things to deal with, so naturally they don't have much time to be sentimental.

Chen Yu has already booked his flight back to China for tomorrow.

After the Oscars, they should now be worrying about "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and "Aftershock".

Filming for "The Grand Budapest Hotel" has been completed for quite some time now, and the next step is to deal with post-production issues.

Having learned from his previous experience, Chen Yu decided to take charge of the project himself this time.

This kind of work gets better with practice.

Furthermore, there will definitely be more and more work in this area in the future, and we can't always rely on others for every task.

As for "Tangshan Earthquake".

"what--"

"I'm going to be the producer of 'Aftershock'?"

Liu Yifei sat on the sofa in a daze.

Chen Yu had previously informed her about this aspect of the work, but that all depended on having someone to guide her.

"Ah."

"Go and participate in the casting and preparation work. I'm currently working on the post-production editing of 'The Grand Budapest Hotel,' so this job may have to be handed over to you."

In Chen Yu's view, this matter was not difficult for Liu Yifei.

She's usually just easygoing and doesn't compete or fight for anything; she takes a very laid-back approach to everything she does.

However, it is not that they lack their own opinions or ambition.

Entrusting this task to her would surely result in an even more perfect outcome.

Liu Yifei is someone who values ​​inner order. She knows exactly what she wants and pursues it at her own pace.

"I believe you."

"This can definitely be done very well."

After hearing Chen Yu's words, Liu Yifei nodded. She was determined to help Chen Yu with some of his work.

However, this matter ultimately put her under a lot of pressure.

It's likely that the two will throw themselves into their work after returning home, which will be a new beginning for Liu Yifei.

I set foot on the land of the capital once again.

Without taking a break, Chen Yu went straight to the company to work on the post-production editing of "The Grand Budapest Hotel".

As for Liu Yifei...

The script for "Aftershock" has been handed to her, and the next step is the casting process.

The script was almost identical to the one from his previous life, and Chen Yu didn't make many changes.

In fact, Chen Yu thought the content was rather ordinary.

The reason for wanting to bring it up as soon as possible is undoubtedly because it serves as a warning.

In conclusion, it is essential to be aware of all earthquake-related precautions.

Only in this way.

Only then can one avoid some dangers from past lives.

***
Beijing, Yu Xin Film Industry.

The office was unusually quiet, with the occasional sound of keyboards clicking and papers turning.

Liu Yifei was hunched over her desk, carefully reading the script for "Aftershock".

In an instant, it felt as if we had returned to the beginning of the devastating earthquake in 1976.

Two core roles have been initially identified for the project.

The male lead, Fang Da, is played by Chen Yu.

The second female lead, Fang Deng, is portrayed by Liu Yifei.

This time, however, the two are no longer a couple on screen, but rather share a more profound and unforgettable relationship, one that is as deep as blood.

siblings.

From being inseparable to falling apart and becoming estranged, they finally reached a precious reconciliation in another earthquake.

"Director Liu, here is some information on the actors for the casting!"

The staff member carried a thick stack of folders and placed them on Liu Yifei's desk.

"We have already selected senior actors from the industry."

Liu Yifei's brows relaxed, displaying the air of a producer and the poise of a powerful businesswoman: "Thank you, it's fine here!"

In addition to some documents, the assistant thoughtfully labeled the email addresses on the computer.

Liu Yifei looked at the documents laid out in front of her. This was her first time truly stepping away from the lead role and acting as a producer, and she had to be meticulous in every step.

They left the familiar area.

She will need to make her own decisions from now on.

As a result, she has to be even more careful when it comes to casting.

The person she habitually depends on is not around, so she will probably have to do everything herself.

Open the actor information in front of you.

What comes into view is Yongmei.

This was a role handpicked by Chen Yu. Liu Yifei picked up the photo and looked at it from left to right, trying to find out what made this person so special.

but--

Judging from appearance alone, there is nothing particularly special about him, but his resume is quite impressive.

In 2004, she left a deep impression on the audience for her role as Xiao Li in the TV series "Chinese-Style Divorce".

Intellectual and charming.

It truly has the ability to be unforgettable.

In 2006, she played Xie Yan in "Filial Son", perfectly capturing the image of a forbearing daughter-in-law.

In comparison.

Yongmei is clearly more skilled in television dramas.

"The Man from Muyun", "The Heart of a Woman in Rizhao"... and "The Loyal Guardian" broadcast on CCTV.

Yongmei's TV dramas come one after another.

She was nominated for the Most Popular TV Actress Award at the 23rd Golden Eagle Awards for her role in "Chinese-Style Divorce".

Such a large number of popular works are enough to prove her skill.

Liu Yifei looked again at the elegant and composed face in the file. Since he was Chen Yu's chosen candidate, he must have something special about him.

An audition can be arranged at that time.

Liu Yifei put Yongmei's actress information aside, intending to send it to Chen Yu later.

She probably didn't know that Yongmei would one day become a Berlin Film Festival Best Actress winner.

He was flipping through the actor information in front of him.

Liu Yifei's fingertips stopped again; in front of her was Chen Jin's resume.

Unlike Yongmei's gentle and generous nature.

Chen Jin's acting career is even more dazzling. She is a national first-class actor and also has experience as a leading actress in stage plays.

The roles she played are household names.

Her role in the 1996 film "Campus Vanguard" earned her the Best Actress Award at the 17th China TV Drama Flying Apsaras Awards.

In 1999, her starring role in the TV series "The Birth of a Nation" earned her the Outstanding Actress Award at the 6th China Film Huabiao Awards and the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 20th China Film Golden Rooster Awards.

It can be said.

She herself seems to possess a magical quality.

Every TV series or movie she stars in wins a major award.

She can switch between any role at will, but most of the roles she plays are serious and traditional.

His personal compassion was perfectly placed.

This alone is enough to prove that Chen Jin and "Aftershock" are a perfect match... (End of Chapter)
