Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 606 Award Ceremony

"Good job!" Han Sanping slapped his thigh and stood up excitedly.

At this moment, not only Han Sanping, but the thirteen producers of "The Flowers of War" are paying attention to this grand event for filmmakers.

Even Tong Gang from the Film Bureau could not stay out of it.

The success of "The Flowers of War" in the Oscars has a huge impact on people like them.
But some people's feelings are hard to describe. Although they shared the Palme d'Or with Leo, the little golden man became an eternal pain in the poet's heart.

Chen Kaige turned off the TV, stood up and left the living room with an expressionless face.

When Chen Hong heard the noise, she quickly turned off the TV in the bedroom.

Just as I closed the door, I saw Lao Baby walk in with a gloomy face: "Yimou won the Oscar, Hong! Please call later and congratulate him on behalf of my husband and me."

Chen Hong nodded: "Okay, I'll call you later."

"Well, I didn't get enough rest last night. I want to lie down for a while." As the poet spoke, he lay down on the bed.

Chen Hong knew her old baby's psychology. She nodded silently and gently closed the bedroom door.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Sony Building, Sony Headquarters, Manhattan, New York
"Baka!" An old man in a suit with a typical Japanese mustache smashed the ashtray in his hand hard on the head of the Sony Classics person opposite him.

The man immediately fell to the ground, holding his head. Blood was pouring from his head but he did not bother to wipe it off. He quickly stood up, rolled and crawled, bowed 90 degrees and muttered apologies.

In stark contrast is another old man from News Corporation, who seemed to think that the Oscar for "The Flowers of War" was just a trivial matter.

Murdoch picked up his phone and sent a text message: Congratulations.

I received a reply very quickly: Thank you.

At the Highland Theatre, even Zhang Yimou couldn't help but express his excitement.

Not to mention Sanchai and Tong Dawei from "The Flowers of War".

All the stars at the scene, whether they knew Zhang Yimou and Li Chen or not, stood up and applauded "The Flowers of War".

Li Chen and Liu Yifei also took the initiative to stand up and hug Zhang Yimou and several leading actors of "The Flowers of War".

Liu Yifei's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she kept whispering in Li Chen's ear: "We really won the Oscar! We really won it!"

Li Chen could only smile and say, "Of course it's true."

"I didn't expect that "The Flowers of War" would really win!" Li Qiaoqiao, who was sitting in the back row, was also very excited. "The Flowers of War" won the award, and she, as a Chinese actress, was also proud of it.

But before the prize was announced, no one could be 100% sure that "The Flowers of War" would win.

Li Qiaoqiao thought about it carefully and it seemed that the whole process of making "The Flowers of War" was full of accidents.

The low-keyness of the Golden Globe nomination, the surprise of winning the Golden Globe, the nervousness of being shortlisted for the Oscars, the surprise of the nomination, and the disbelief that the dream has come true at this moment, it seems that everything cannot escape the shadow of Director Li.

Li Qiaoqiao cast his gaze towards Li Chen in the front row, and after a moment turned to Liu Yifei beside him.
"If we win, how can Sony compete with them!" Wendi Deng said something meaningful.

Li Qiaoqiao thought that they were Warner and Chi You.

Zhang Yimou and Nini walked onto the stage slowly. Sandra Bullock handed the golden statue in her hand to Zhang Yimou with both hands and hugged Nini.

The scene suddenly returned to silence.

Zhang Yimou held up the golden statue in his right hand and said with a simple smile: "Thank you Oscar for giving this award to The Flowers of War, and thank you Oscar and Miss Sandra Bullock for liking China."

"Li Chen just told me that Oscar and Sandra Bullock like China because we have a population of 12 billion."

"Then everyone should like China more now. Today, China's population has exceeded 13 billion."

Lao Mouzi speaks authentic Chinese, but the young lady Nini next to him is a competent translator.

She speaks impeccable authentic English, which she learned from Bell, and she herself graduated from the Department of Language Communication of Communication University of China.

Li Chen remembered that when "Parasite" won the award, the South Korean girl who served as the translator next to the South Korean director spoke English well.

There was a burst of laughter at the scene. The silly girl Sandra Bullock's face felt a little hot and her smile was a little awkward.

At this moment, "The Flowers of War" is dominating the trending searches on Weibo in China.

The enthusiasm of netizens in Sina's live broadcast room was completely ignited.

"Leo is so mean, Sandra Bullock is obviously lying!"

"He says I love Chinese but can't even speak a word in Chinese. 12 billion is something he never thought he could have in his lifetime! He's still living before the millennium. He must be suffering from Alzheimer's disease."

"Lao Mouzi has been led astray by Leo, but Nini speaks authentic English!"

There were bursts of laughter at the scene. Jolie leaned over to Pique's ear and laughed: "Does China really have 13 billion people now?"

"That's right. Sandra can make fun of Chinese, and Chinese people can also make fun of her." Pique doesn't think highly of this silly girl at all.

Lao Mouzi and Nini walked off the stage and took their seats again.

The host Billy on the stage was still showing off his humor.

"Well, Oscar and Sandra almost cheated 100 million Chinese people. Fortunately, 'Li' made us see the truth clearly."

There was another burst of laughter from the stars at the scene.

Lao Mouzi sat next to Li Chen and glanced at Li Chen who looked calm and composed: "Thank you, Li Chen."

Li Chen turned his head and saw that Lao Mouzi had a rare serious look on his face. He immediately became serious as well: "What are you thanking me for, Director Zhang? You are the one who made the movie. Without you, I would not be able to make "The Flowers of War". I am also a good cook who cannot make a meal without rice."

Zhang Yimou laughed, saying everything.

Miss Liu leaned close to Li Chen's ear again: "You are so humble, Director Li!"

Li Chen didn't turn his head, but nodded with a smile: "I have always been like this."

The award ceremony was still going on, with Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Actor being presented one by one, and all the jokes from the presenters were almost all rehearsed in advance.

But there are exceptions, and the best part of the Oscars is these unexpected moments.

So Oscar producer Brian Grazer told Li Chen: "The script is written, but you are the best screenwriter in Hollywood. You can decide how to change it."

Now it's the turn of the heavyweight Best Actress award.

The host Billy started again: "(English) The Chinese people must be so happy now. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Hollywood's top screenwriter and world-renowned Chinese director Li Chen."

Applause broke out immediately at the scene, and the camera finally turned to the face of Li Qiaoqiao, who had been missing the entire night.

"Finally I saw the 涼涼, and it took the spotlight from Little Leo!"

"It's been a night, and I just remembered that Li Qiaoqiao is also at the Oscars. From this seat distance, I'm afraid I'll need a telescope to see Leo clearly."

"Oh my god, how come Liu Yifei has become the award presenter!"

"Oh my god, I actually saw Leo and the goddess appear on the Oscars stage at the same time!"

"Is Tianxian the translator of Leo DiCaprio? Leo DiCaprio's trick is too shameless, but I like it!"

The netizens in Sina's live broadcast room seemed to be crazy, with barrages of comments floating by.

The curtain of the stage slowly rose, and Li Chen and Liu Yifei walked to the front of the stage.

Everyone was stunned by the shock.

Even Liu Yifei at this moment had sweaty palms.

She was really caught off guard by her husband's sudden decision.

But if it's just translation, she is fully capable of doing it.

The moment Liu Yifei stepped onto the Oscar awards stage.

Zhang Ziyi was stunned.
Fan Qiaoqiao was stunned.
Li Qiaoqiao was shocked.
Yang Siwei opened his mouth wide. Boss, you are so talented!
The couple stood still with a smile. "I am honored to announce the nominees and winners for Best Actress," Li Chen said in Chinese.

Liu Yifei immediately translated it into English, and added playfully, "I am also honored to translate the list of nominees and winners for Best Actress."

The scene suddenly burst into laughter, with Jolie, Pitt and others laughing and applauding.

Li Chen began to review the performances of several nominees in the films nominated for Best Actress.

"Glenn Close, I like an American actor very much. You played a dual-gender female character in Albert and Nobles. In Chinese, we say that it is androgynous. You are indeed a veteran actor."

As Liu Yifei translated, applause broke out and the camera turned to Glenn Close.

There was some surprise and curiosity in the old lady's eyes. She didn't expect that this special award presenter would speak so highly of her.

As the nominated films flashed across the big screen one by one, Li Chen's understanding of each actor completely eliminated the complaints of the Americans at the scene.

Even though we knew it was rehearsed in advance, some of the compliments in Chinese were definitely not in the script.

Until the last nominee, Meryl Streep.

Li Chen changed the subject again. Liu Yifei's consciousness and thoughts had been completely controlled by her husband.

My admiration and love for my husband reached its peak at this moment.

It seems that her husband was born for such grand occasions. If she were to present the award, I'm afraid the scene would not be so harmonious.

"Meryl Streep, we Chinese filmmakers like to affectionately call her Auntie Mei or Aunt Mei."

"But no matter whether it's an aunt or an uncle, they are all relatives."

"If it was you who came to China back then, perhaps we, the Chinese audience, would have been even more reluctant to see you fall outside the Great Hall."

Liu Yifei couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster, not knowing whether she should translate this sentence.

Glancing at her husband, Liu Yifei complained in her heart: Just die, I will settle the score with you when I get back, you dare to say anything.

Unexpectedly, when Liu Yifei translated it, there was laughter at the scene, and Meryl was laughing so hard.

Since she plays the Iron Lady, she naturally knows her life story very well.

That trip to China was an unforgettable foreign visit for the Iron Lady.

The number of people joining Sina's live broadcast room has skyrocketed.

"Little Leo is awesome! This 'even more unbearable' is a good use of the word, it's a needle hidden in cotton wool!"

"What a famous scene! I wonder what the British people's reaction was when they saw it!"

"It's refreshing to see Oscar tease others every year! It's time to change the protagonist this year."

"I noticed that Tianxian is a little overwhelmed. Manage your micro-expressions, Tianxian, don't show your fear!"

Somewhere in Beijing, within the red walls and green tiles

"It's really interesting. This Xiao Li always gives people surprises."

The secretary at the side was overwhelmed with emotion. This was the second time that the leader praised someone from the entertainment industry. It was beyond his understanding.

Li Chen was still talking nonstop at the scene.

"No one can match her 17 Oscar nominations, just like China's population reached 17 billion 12 years ago, no one can match her." Li Chen smiled and nodded to Sandra again.

Meryl Streep threw her head back and laughed, and the stars did not hesitate to applaud and laugh.

Netizens in Sina’s live broadcast room were completely speechless about Li Chen.

".Leo's double entendre is unbeatable, 17 times, 17 years ago"

"Lao Mouzi's first move was 13 billion, Leo's fatal blow was 12 billion, the silly girl Dai Nuo Mu Ji was million, and Oscar was hard to describe, just a few hundred million."

Inside the Film Bureau, Tong Gang and Han Saping were talking on the phone.

"Hahaha, Li Chen is really an instant shot. Three pings. This award ceremony will definitely become a historic moment at the Oscars."

"Director Tong, please don't praise him in person. This kid can't help but get cocky when he's praised."

"Hahaha, three pings, how old is Li Chen? If young people don't show off now, will they show off when they are our age?"

"Oh, Director Tong is right."

"I guess the minister and the others must also be watching the Oscars, the Six Princesses are broadcasting live, it has a huge influence."

"Yeah, this kid, I'm afraid that sentence has really come true."

"Which one?"

“No one in the world does not know you.”

"."

At the Highland Theatre, today is destined to become a wonderful chapter in the Oscars.

The Oscar producer looked at the live broadcast backstage data of this year's Oscars and smiled so hard that his face was full of wrinkles.

As for what Li Chen said, in his own words: "He can say whatever he wants! It doesn't matter if he curses Aobama."

Li Chen's free play continues: "Your performance as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady is so vivid and lifelike, your acting is so superb that it is hard to tell whether it is real or not."

Until the big screen is finished.

There was applause at the scene, and the stars knew that the Best Actress award would be announced in the next second.

Li Chen opened the envelope: "The winner of the Oscar is: The Iron Lady, Meryl Streep!"

There was deafening applause and cheers at the scene.

Crazy screams and shouts were heard from the stands in front, behind, left, right, up and down the Highland Center.

Meryl's eyes were moist as she hugged her husband and several nominated actresses one by one, showing the demeanor of a veteran.

Then he slowly walked onto the stage and took the little golden man from Li Chen.

Then he hugged Li Chen and Liu Yifei one by one.

"Congratulations."

"Congratulations."

"thanks, thanks."

Meryl holding the trophy: "Oh, my god!"

"I know that when Li says my name, half of America will wail."

"Li, do you know what they are wailing about?"

Meryl looked at Li Chen and joked.

Liu Yifei's brain also started to work rapidly at this time, thinking about the question that Meryl suddenly raised.

Who knew that Li Chen just laughed and said, "I don't know."

Liu Yifei felt a little disappointed, but Li Chen immediately said, "But the moment I opened the envelope, I cried out in my heart: Why is it her again!"

The scene suddenly burst into laughter.

Meryl also laughed so hard that she fell backwards: "Are you an American? How do you know what they are thinking?"
