During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 135 Oscar made a mistake, and the Chinese people became gods

As the opening guest's performance ended, the Oscars ceremony officially began.

The host of this awards ceremony is Ellen DeGeneres, a North American veteran host and comedian.

After the humorous opening, Allen began to invite award guests.

For the sake of ratings, Oscar presenters are all celebrities, usually a man and a woman.

It is no different from many film festivals. The first awards are small awards.

After winning Best Makeup, Best Art Direction, and Best Sound Editing, and then interspersed with Celine Dion's performance, we finally came to what Wei Jin wanted to see.

The first is the best adapted screenplay. In terms of the importance of the award, it is lower than the original screenplay.

Best Actor Tom Hanks and Best Actress candidate Helen Mirren came on stage and after an awkward chat:

"Please look at the big screen"

Some people have begun to sweat nervously.

Wei Jin was not the only Asian in the venue. Zhuang Wenqiang and Mak Siu-fai, the creators of the script of "Infernal Affairs", were both here. It was their first time to participate. Although they were already famous directors in Hong Kong, they still looked a little bit inferior to Wei Jin. A lot of restraint.

Last year's Golden Globe Best Actress nominee and Oscar award presenter Zhang Ziyi can only sit in the corner this year, dressed youthfully and tenderly. It is true that the power of love can nourish women more.

But the strange thing is that Li An, who won the best director last year for "Brokeback Mountain", did not come to the scene. Logically, he should present the best director this year.

Wei Jin thought it was just a normal process, but unexpectedly the organizer came up with a trick.

When it was announced that the winner was William Monahan of "The Departed", the voiceover introduced:

"This movie is adapted from the RB movie "Infernal Affairs"."

No one realized there was a problem, and everyone's focus was not on it. Even the two original creators smiled throughout and applauded the winners.

But Wei Jin noticed it, and Jing Tian also noticed it. The two of them looked at each other and felt incredible. How could such a mistake happen?
  The shocked scenes of Wei Jin and Jing Tian were captured by the camera and were also sent back to the country.

Sa Beining: "Did Oscar make a mistake just now?"

Jing Wei: "It seems so. I got the nationality wrong and said it was RB. Wei Jin and Jing Tian looked very surprised."

Wei Jin was really unhappy at the scene. This film was a remake of "Infernal Affairs", but there was no trace of adaptation from beginning to end, so it could still win the award.

The original version of "Infernal Affairs" also participated in the Oscar selection three years ago, but was rejected at that time because it did not meet the shortlisting criteria.

This approach is indeed in line with the American style, but making such a low-level mistake on the spot is simply insulting.

However, the scene was in harmony, with smiles and applause congratulating "The Departed". This is the first award the film has won tonight, which is a good sign.

Soon, awards related to Wei and Jin came, and the best original screenplay began to be awarded.

There are a total of 5 films nominated this time. In fact, there will be no more than five nominations for each Oscar category.

Nominated for this category are "Babel," "Room," "Little Miss Sunshine," "Pan's Labyrinth," and "The Queen."

At this moment, audiences across the country were glued to the TV screens. Sa Beining and Jing Wei no longer flirted with each other, and seriously introduced the status of several shortlisted works.

The final award was awarded to "Little Miss Sunshine", a film that tells a heartwarming story about an American family, which is indeed in line with North American values.

The domestic audience was a little disappointed, and the two hosts were also a little demoralized and had a bad start.

The awards continued, with "Pan's Labyrinth" winning Best Cinematography, "Little Miss Sunshine" winning Best Supporting Actor, and "Dreamgirls" winning Best Supporting Actress.

The competition for best foreign language film soon came.

Awards guests Cate Blanchett and Clive Owen joked on the stage, and then revealed the suspense:

"The winner of this year's Best Foreign Language Film is "Room", Wei, Jin, China!"

There was huge applause. Most of the people present had already watched the film, which was recognition of the award.

After hugging the two beauties Jing Tian and Zeng Li respectively, Wei Jin tidied up his clothes and walked onto the stage.——
  At this time, the country was already cheering. Everyone was honored to be the first mainland director to receive an Oscar.

The movie channel's ratings are rising steadily, making the executives who made the final decision to buy the broadcasting rights overjoyed.

Sa Beining: "This is the first time since the establishment of the Oscars that the mainland has won the best foreign language film. Director Wei has set a precedent."

In a villa somewhere in the capital.

"Mom, if I really win the award, I know that Brother Wei Jin is really great."

In front of the TV, Liu Yifei jumped up excitedly and hugged Liu Xiaoli, muttering non-stop.

Liu Xiaoli patted her daughter's back affectionately, but what Liu Yifei didn't notice was that there seemed to be a trace of sadness between Liu Xiaoli's eyebrows that could not be dissipated.
-
  Taking the stage to receive the statuette trophy from the presenter, Wei Jin's first words stunned everyone present.

"I hope the Oscar organizing committee will make an apology announcement tomorrow."

At this time, the camera cut to the audience, where a group of celebrities and famous directors looked confused and confused.

"In the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, "The Departed" is adapted from the movie "Infernal Affairs", and "Infernal Affairs" is a Chinese film, not an RB film."

"Oh? Is that wrong?" The host Allen was a little confused. Did he notice such a small detail? “Yes, I made a mistake. The director team can take a look at the video. I believe many people have seen it.”

"Okay, Wei, you don't have much time, please give your acceptance speech."

Each winner's speech is only 1 minute long. If the time is exceeded, the program team will play music prompts to encourage them. Wei Jin has already wasted a lot of time.

"Thank you to the judges for their recognition, to the Oscars for their fairness, to my alma mater for their training, to the fans and friends who care about me from afar, and to those lovely people who silently pay for me and continue to tolerate me. I love you. , I love you."

Wei Jin expressed the last sentence once in English and Chinese respectively, the first time in the direction of the camera, and the second time in the direction of Zeng Li and Jing Tian.

For a moment, the two beauties, one big and one small, were all in tears.——
  During the live broadcast on the movie channel, host Sa Beining explained Wei Jin's correction of the Oscar organizing committee's mistakes.

Jing Wei said seriously and affectionately: "Director Wei and Jin moved all Chinese people today!"

Sa Beining also nodded: "Yes, I also want to respond to Director Wei, we have all seen it."

This wave of Wei and Jin is actually very popular. Oscar got the wrong nationality in "Infernal Affairs", and the Chinese people were angry and helpless. You are not even qualified to speak on stage, why are you just sitting in the audience and shouting?
  What's more, the camera basically didn't show the Asians present. The camera kept staring at the big names like director Martin, Leon and Nicholson.

Only Wei Jin not only had the ideas, but also the ability to stand on the stage to correct this low-level mistake and rectify the name of Xiangjiang Film, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice his precious speaking time for this.

The last expression of love in Chinese clearly expressed his nationality and was regarded by countless netizens as his love for the motherland.

For this Oscar, someone specially built an "Oscar Bar". At this time, many netizens cheered in the bar, cheering for Wei Jin to win, and even more excited for Wei Jin's speech.
-
  Returning to his seat, Wei Jin hugged Jing Tian and Zeng Li, and gave the trophy to them to play with:
  "Sister Li, the next step is up to you."

Wei Jin turned to look at Zeng Li. He didn't know whether his method would be effective, so he could only hope for luck.

The award ceremony was still going on, and Wei Jin felt that after he won the award, the camera seemed to be showing more.

Before this Oscar, domestic audiences, guided by the media, had very high expectations for Wei Jin to win.

But now that the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film has been won, the audience is more relaxed.

But Wei Jin did not relax, and the awards for Best Actress began.

When the presenter Philip Seymour Hoffman walked onto the stage, Wei Jin felt that his palms were already sweating, but Zeng Li, on the other hand, was no longer nervous.

"The winner of the Best Actress. Please watch the big screen. "Room", Zeng Li, Huaxia!"

There was a "boom" in Wei Jin's mind, and the huge noise at the scene seemed to be automatically blocked, and he immediately stood up and hugged Sister Li:
  "Sister Li, congratulations, we did it."

Although she was mentally prepared not to win the prize, when this huge surprise came to her, Zeng Li still couldn't help crying with joy and hugged Wei Jin tightly. She knew that all this was brought about by the man in front of her. What was given to her, this life, was given to him.

Jing Tian on the side also gave her blessings and applause at this moment. This is what Zeng Li deserves. Asia's first Oscar-winning actress, she deserves it.
-
  The ratings of domestic movie channels have soared to an incredible height at this time.

Sa Beining: "Viewers, please remember this moment, we have witnessed history and witnessed a miracle!
  This is the first time in 79 years that the Oscars have awarded the title of Best Actress to Chinese, Asians, and even yellow people. This is not only a victory for Chinese people, but also for Asians, and for all yellow people. For the victory of planting, let us cheer for Zengli and cheer for China! "

Countless audiences, whether they have known Zeng Li before or not, are cheering for her at this moment. In a sense, this actress can boost morale more than the best foreign language film for eighty years.

Many women who had had relationships with Wei Jin in front of the TV put aside their prejudices and jealousies at this moment, and sincerely applauded Zeng Li.

Even before they learned that Zeng Li was nominated for an Oscar, they were jealous, but having the first one means there will be opportunities in the future, but they are already thinking about how to get Wei Jin to help again. .

Zhang Ziyi, who was at the scene, seemed to have foreseen that he would win the award. He was the first to stand up and applaud his old classmates excitedly.

All the Asian celebrities present at the scene also gave Zeng Li a blessing and applause. Under their leadership, other guests started to applaud, which shows how much impact this selection of the best actress has brought to them.

Zeng Li gracefully walked onto the stage, took the statuette from award presenter Philip Seymour Hoffman, took a deep breath, and tried her best to calm down her mood:

"First of all, I want to thank the judges for their recognition. This is the first time in 79 years that an Asian has won this statuette. She belongs not only to me, but also to all yellow people. I praise Oscar for its tolerance.

Here, I would like to thank my parents for their upbringing, my alma mater, Zhongxi Drama, for their training, and all the people in my life who have helped me. Finally, I would like to thank you, Wei Jin. Meeting you is the greatest luck in my life. "
-
  Zeng Li and Wei Jin, who had achieved their wish, were now completely relaxed and waiting for the award ceremony to end.

The subsequent development did not go beyond Wei Jin's expectations, and the competition for the best actor was very fierce.

Leonardo dropped "The Departed" to focus on publicizing "Blood Diamond."

Will Smith also encountered one of the most important works of his acting career, "The Pursuit of Happiness", and the call for winning the award was very high.

Unfortunately, they met the black actor Forest Whitaker who swept the awards season. The actor finally won the Best Actor for his wonderful performance in "The Last Man" and became the fourth black actor in Oscar history.

Next, the best director award is very interesting. The award guests are Coppola, Lucas and Spielberg.

Seeing these three award presenters, Wei Jin knew that his trip to the Oscars was over.

The names of these three are simply familiar to Hollywood audiences.

Coppola's "The Godfather", Lucas's "Star Wars", Spielberg's masterpieces are even more.

But they also have one thing in common. Together with Martin, they are known as the "Four Elites" of Hollywood in the 80s.

It was up to them to award the Best Director, and the organizing committee was almost showing off. It's no wonder Li An didn't come to the scene. His awarding was not as big a gimmick as the three old brothers' awards.

Sure enough, no accident occurred, and the Best Director award was awarded to Martin Scorsese.

The suspense of the Best Picture Award was announced by actor Jack Nelson, and it was still given to "The Departed".

At this point, the 79th Academy Awards has come to an end.
