During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 647: Award Ceremony with Double Yolk Eggs
At around 3:2 p.m. on March , North American time, Wei Jin and Jing Tian began to prepare to walk the red carpet.

Together, they were producer Chen Xi, the lead actress of the crew, Mrs. Coen, as well as the nominated Dong Jinsong and editor Feng He, a young Shanhe Shuimo employee.

This was specially arranged by Wei Jin. After all, he had already won an easy victory last year, so he wanted to see if he could replicate it this year.

At this time, Wei Jin met many old acquaintances in the red carpet waiting area.

There are relatively few people from China, including Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Li An, Wang in Sunglasses, and his partner Zhang Shuping.

In Europe and the United States, there are more people who are familiar with the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Charlize Theron, who had a friendly match with her, wore a black deep V dress today and carried the whole game.

Cate Blanchett in a sequined dress, Anne Hathaway with short androgynous hair, and Matthew McConaughey
While waiting for the red carpet to begin, many foreign actors greeted Wei Jin.

Because unlike the Golden Globe Awards, there is no room for socializing at the Oscars ceremony.

At four o'clock, the red carpet officially began.

The nominated crews will be mixed in among the actors and celebrity guests and appear in turn.

What a coincidence, it has been drizzling since yesterday, and it has stopped now.

One by one, the female stars began to show themselves off on the red carpet, competing with each other for beauty.

"Director Wei, Tiantian, see you later."

Zhang Ziyi was very active. She followed the crew of "The Grandmaster" and took the initiative to say hello when she passed by Wei Jin and others.

However, Wang in Sunglasses and Zhang Shuping just nodded slightly, and Wei Jin also smiled back.

"Well, see you later."

One by one, the crews walked onto the red carpet.

About half an hour later, a staff member indicated that it was time to arrive at Nomadland.

"Tiantian, let's go."

"Ah."

Wei Jin reached out his hand and took Jing Tian's hand, leading the way, followed by Chen Xi, Mrs. Cohen, Dong Jinsong and others.

Today, Jing Tian wore a moonlight-white slim-fitting cheongsam, seeking a good omen for a successful start.

But I have to say that Fuguihua looks really good in cheongsam. The close-fitting cut and high slit design show off her slender waistline and fully highlight her curvy and graceful figure.

Paired with slender platinum earrings and slightly casual but slightly curly wavy hair that perfectly suits her oriental face, Jing Tian's overall temperament is in no way inferior to that of Hollywood's top actresses.

In comparison, Wei Jin's style is much simpler, a retro double-breasted slim suit, showing freshness.

But with their tall and straight figures, Wei Jin and Jing Tian are a perfect match standing together.

This can be seen from the cheers and flashing lights on both sides when stepping onto the red carpet.

"Director Wei, Tiantian"

Hearing Chinese in the vast crowd felt quite cordial. Wei Jin and Jing Tian also waved and smiled in the direction of the domestic media.

The red carpet host did not make things too difficult for them and let a few people go after asking two simple questions.

When we entered the venue, we saw that about two-thirds of the more than 3,000 seats in the Dolby Theater were already occupied.

Wei Jin, Jing Tian and their group followed the on-site staff and walked towards the location of the "Nomadland" crew.

"Nomadland", with six nominations, is considered a hot candidate for this year's Oscars, and its seating arrangement is also good this time, in the middle left of the first row.

The most core position on the right side is still the Hollywood celebrities. After all, it is these people who support the ratings.

"Dallas Buyers Club", which also won six major awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Editing, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling, is on the second row on the right.

Hunter and several main creators stood up and waved to Wei Jin.

As time passed, the theater became more and more full.

The crew of "The Wolf of Wall Street" also came in, and from a distance, Leonardo raised his fist towards Wei Jin.

Today, Leonardo was still wearing a black suit and a bow tie, his hair was combed back smoothly, and he looked in good spirits.

About twenty minutes later, as host Ellen DeGeneres walked onto the theater podium, the 86th Academy Awards ceremony officially began.

It has to be said that Allen is very eloquent, having won the Emmy Award for Best Talk Show Host for four consecutive years.

He uttered all kinds of American jokes readily, and did a very good job of warming up the audience.

Not only that, Allen was also very good at handling things. During the live broadcast of the ceremony, he took some celebrities in the front row to take a selfie on the spot, and then posted it directly on social media.

Wei Jin and Jing Tian, ​​who were sitting in the front row, also got a chance to be in the camera.

Next came the opening performance segment. The globally famous Taylor Swift was still eye-catching, and her pair of long legs were truly amazing.

Unlike Liu Yifei, who was somewhat hostile towards Taylor Swift, Jing Tian was actually her fan and hummed along for a long time.

"Well, you sang well."

"Hey, that sounds good, right? I'll sing it for you when we get back."

"Okay, remember to grab the microphone."

“Disgusting~~”

Just as Wei Jin and Jing Tian were flirting with each other, the performance ended.

The awards ceremony began.

Surprisingly, tonight's Oscars did not follow the usual convention and the first award presented was the Best Supporting Actor Award.

Anne Hathaway, the award presenter, looked capable and energetic in a black Gucci dress and neat short hair. After interacting with the host, she opened the envelope and announced the answer.

".86th Academy Awards, Best Supporting Actor winner, "Dallas Buyers Club", Jared Leto, congratulations!"

Hunter was all smiles after winning the first battle, but there were more surprises to come.

The next Best Makeup and Hairstyling Award was won by "Dallas Buyers Club".

If two of the six numbers are correct, it will be a good start.

However, this also means that the probability of winning the subsequent four major awards will become lower and lower.

Next, the award ceremony returned to normal, and a long list of small prizes followed.

Best Live Action Short Film, Best Documentary, Best Animated Short Film, Best Music, Best Animated Feature Film.
It is worth mentioning that the Best Animated Feature Film Award was won by "Frozen".

According to convention, as a voice actor, Liu Yifei was qualified to walk the red carpet with the crew.

But the girl had an announcement about the spring fashion week in Europe, so she didn't come to join in the fun, which made Wei Jin feel a little regretful.

Seven or eight awards, plus the winners' speeches, took nearly an hour. Only then did the more interesting awards come to light.

"coming."

While Jing Tian was muttering to himself, he turned his head and looked to the far right rear, where the crew of "The Grandmaster" was located.

".Congratulations to the winner of the Best Foreign Language Film Award, "The Great Beauty"!"

As the award presenter finished his words, King of Sunglasses, Zhang Ziyi and others could not hide their disappointment on their faces.

But soon, captured by the camera, the group applauded and maintained their composure.

Wei and Jin, on the other hand, were not at all surprised by this result.

After all, The Great Beauty swept all the Oscars and even won the Palme d'Or last year. Even without mentioning The Great Beauty, the other competitors are not ordinary.

It is already very good that "The Grandmaster" was nominated.

Two more technical awards have passed, and Wei Jin’s biggest rival, 12 Years a Slave, had a good start and won the Best Supporting Actress Award.

The actress from Mexico was filled with emotion and tears on the stage.

At this time, Wei Jin noticed that his personal photographer, Dong Jinsong, pursed his lips and became visibly nervous.

Because the next award to be presented is the Best Photography Award that Dong Jinsong has been longing for.

"Relax, boss. I believe in your ability."

"Yes, Master Dong, no problem."

Chen Xi, Feng He, including Mrs. Cohen and others, were all cheering Dong Jinsong on.

On the stage, the acceptance speeches were finished and the presenter revealed the suspense.

"The winner of the 86th Academy Awards for Best Cinematography is Nomadland. Congratulations, Dong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jin stood up and hugged Dong Jinsong.

"Boss, congratulations!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wei, thank you!"

Dong Jinsong is extremely excited at this moment. He unfortunately failed last year, but this year he finally achieved his wish.

"Go ahead, Mr. Dong, enjoy your performance, but don't forget the lyrics, haha."

Wei Jin smiled and relieved him. The latter made an OK gesture, then hugged Chen Xi, Feng He and others and strode towards the stage.

Perhaps it was because the tone was set too high last year that Dong Jinsong, a forty-something man from northern Shaanxi, actually became emotional on the stage and emphasized his gratitude to Wei Jin.

As the boss finished his speech, Feng He, who was attending the Oscars for the first time, clenched his hands, very excited, because it was his turn next.

With the precedent of several colleagues who won easily last year, Feng He is extremely looking forward to this year's Oscars.

Unfortunately, sometimes the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

The good luck of "Nomadland" did not continue, and the trophy for Best Editing was won by "Captain Phillips".

Wei Jin noticed that Feng He's spirit was visibly declining, and he couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that he was still too young.

However, the old boss who had just won the award placed the trophy in Feng He's hand and whispered a few words of comfort.

At this time, the award ceremony on the stage was still going on.

The Best Art Direction Award was won by "The Great Gatsby" starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

The Best Original Song award went to "Let It Go" from "Frozen."

I have to say, this song is really brainwashing enough, but it's a pity that Wei Jin couldn't copy it.

".Best Adapted Screenplay Award: 12 Years a Slave."

As the presenter finished speaking, Wei Jin sat up straighter, because the next award was the Original Screenplay Award.

"Brother, relax, you are the best."

Jing Tian smiled and consoled him, and then the others seemed to come to their senses and said, "Boss, it's okay."

"Well, don't worry, just wait for the result."

As the award-winning guests on stage finished their speeches, presenter Robert De Niro opened the envelope and announced the results.

"The winner of the 86th Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay is Spike Jonze, Her. Congratulations!"

Unfortunately, everyone's blessings did not translate into good luck, and Wei Jin missed the Best Screenplay Award.

Of the six nominations, three have been rejected.

"It's okay, brother. This proves that the chances of winning the prize later will be higher."

The little girl was quite good at comforting people, but Wei Jin agreed with this statement and held her hand, applying a little force, "Yeah, I'm fine."

Then Wei Jin looked at Mrs. Cohen and said, "Francis, I hope you can achieve your wish."

"Yeah, I believe it. I've been unlucky for most of the award season, and it's my turn now."

As expected of Mrs. Cohen, she is as calm as ever.

As the two were talking, the award ceremony on the stage entered its final stage.

".The winner of the Best Actress Award is..."

Perhaps because it was the Best Actress award, the presenters also left enough suspense, and on the big screen, live footage of several nominated actors was switching.

"Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine."

Mrs. Cohen remained calm, but the light in her eyes seemed to dim a little.

Wei Jin also sighed, while Chen Xi and Jing Tian whispered to comfort her.

".and Frances McDormand, Nomadland. Congratulations to both of you!"

A sudden voice resounded throughout the venue, and everyone widened their eyes in disbelief!
After 1969 years since 45, the Oscar for Best Actress once again produced a double yolk!
But then, everyone's eyes turned to the crew of "Nomadland".

Even Wei Jin had a feeling that it was unreal, and Jing Tian and Chen Xi also subconsciously widened their eyes.

Obviously, no one expected that there would be a sudden turn of events.

Zhang Ziyi, who was standing at the back, was even more stunned: "Wei Jin, helped someone win the Oscar for Best Actress?!"

At this moment, the calm Mrs. Cohen smiled, but she still said mischievously: "Wei, congratulations, you have fulfilled your promise. You will not be bothered by me anymore, hahahaha."

"Hahaha"

Mrs. Cohen's speech was also full of joy. She blasted the award presenter as soon as she came on stage.

"Old Biden, can't you put my mother's name first? Can't you stop breathing heavily in the middle? You made me feel so lost for so long."

Everyone in the audience laughed, including Cate Blanchett, who had just finished her speech and had not yet left the stage.

The award presenter, Daniel Day-Lewis, who won the Best Actor award last year for "Lincoln," shrugged his shoulders in helplessness.

Because the envelope was not prepared by him.

".Thank you, the magical Wei from the East. After 17 years, you let me hold this trophy again. It is very beautiful, very beautiful, thank you, I will treasure it well.

You are the man I admire most besides my husband Cohen. No, if I were 20 years younger, I would definitely fall in love with you. I wanted to give you a kiss, but.”

At this point, Mrs. Cohen shrugged and raised her head towards Jing Tian: "You know."

The whole audience burst into good-natured laughter, and even Jing Tian, ​​the person involved, was amused.

As Mrs. Coen finished her speech, the atmosphere became more tense and the competition for the Best Actor award began.

From the big screen, switching back and forth between live shots of several nominated actors, we can see that Leonardo, who was in the middle of the first row, had a smile on his face but his hands were clenched into fists.

There was even obvious anxiety, anticipation and desire in his eyes.

".Best Actor Winner."
