Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 754 Attracting worldwide attention
The moment Leonardo DiCaprio announced Liu Yifei's name, the domestic live streaming platforms were filled with the three characters "Liu Yifei".

It was 11 p.m. in Los Angeles, which was 15 p.m. in China. Of course, those who could stay up to watch were basically Liu Yifei's fans.

When they heard that Liu Tianxian had won an Oscar, they were extremely excited and spread the news everywhere, including in QQ groups, WeChat Moments, and online forums.

This news also instantly went viral in China through live streaming, and occupied multiple spots on the trending topics list.

#Liu Yifan wins Oscar for Best Actress#
#First Chinese actress to win an Oscar#
These terms topped the trending lists on Weibo, Baidu, Sohu, Tencent, and other platforms, quickly garnering over 100 million views. No one could stop this trend from spreading rapidly.
It suppressed a lot of other news at the moment.

Even video platforms like Douyin, Kuaishou, and Bilibili immediately cut up the video and distributed it to all viewers, simply because this was such a big deal.

TikTok also promptly distributed and pushed video clips to audiences worldwide.

The mainstream media hadn't had time to report it yet, simply because they hadn't expected Liu Yifei to win the Oscar for Best Actress, and it was quite unexpected.

The entire internet media world seemed to be frantically pushing news of Liu Yifei winning an Oscar.

Many people's phones were immediately notified, and they could see it as soon as they opened their phones. Everyone who saw it was extremely surprised; the news was quite explosive.

"What level is Liu Yifei at that, that she won an Oscar?"

Even many people in the entertainment industry have this question: there's Mei Lanfang competing with them. This news has kept top actresses like Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, and Li Bailian up at night.

They've been working in Hollywood for so many years, even just playing minor roles, so what's the problem?

And they soon found the answer: Liu Tianxian found a good man, and without the principal's backing, Liu Tianxian could only struggle at the starting line.

Even celebrities like Xia Jie, Yang Mi, and Angelababy were quite surprised, and many stars in the entertainment industry are paying attention to this matter.

Not only them, but also Andy Lau, Zhao Liying, and others knew about the news and were paying attention, after all, they acted in this movie.

Even film and television producers are marveling at the principal's influence!

They don't believe this is due to Liu Tianxian's talent; they only think it's the principal manipulating things behind the scenes. Even Oscar can be bought; Jing Tian has done it before.

Even though it was added at the last minute, it's still an Oscar.

Zhang Hongsen was also notified immediately and was extremely surprised. He hadn't taken it seriously in the first place; even though it was a co-production, winning an Oscar was still very difficult.

Surprisingly, these two actually succeeded.

Without hesitation, he got up immediately and sent a text message to the principal: "Thank you, motherland!"

This is precisely the time to shape our international image.

Hendrik Willem Van Loon was so successful because he represented a certain image to the world, and now he has another image to represent the world.

After the text message was edited, both Zhang Hongsen and Meng Xianglin, the current deputy director of the Film Bureau, followed the news of Liu Yifei winning the Best Actress Oscar closely.

At the Oscars ceremony, all the celebrities and stars present stood up and applauded thunderously.

Not surprising, it's an old tradition, people get up at the drop of a hat.

Then a spotlight shone on Liu Tianxian's location, and her image appeared on the large screens on both sides of the stage, making her the most eye-catching presence in the entire venue.

Liu Tianxian also stood up, excitedly covering her mouth, her eyes welling up with tears, as if she were about to cry.

Then, seemingly unable to control her emotions, she suddenly threw herself into Fang Hong's arms, and the two embraced tightly.

Fang Hong didn't say anything, but patted her back reassuringly.

This scene was, of course, visible to people all over the world watching the Oscars ceremony.

Yu Xian stood to the side, clapping enthusiastically as he watched the two. At this moment, he was truly happy for Liu Tianxian, who had finally achieved her wish after so many years of perseverance.

Even Hendrik Willem Van Loon, standing at a distance, clapping his hands and looking in this direction with a smile, was also there.

"Go up and claim your prize," Fang Hong whispered in her ear.

"Hmm!" This sound was unclear, whether it was Liu Tianxian sobbing or actually speaking.

After parting ways with him, Liu Tianxian gave Yu Xian a polite hug, which surprised Yu Xian, as it was the first time in so many years that he had hugged the fairy sister.

However, the two only gave each other a polite hug, as Liu Yifei was quite grateful that he came to support her, and that she had stopped filming to see him receive the award.

"Congratulations, you're like a fairy!" Yu Xian said.

"Thank you!" Liu Tianxian said, moved. Then, lifting her skirt, she walked towards the stage under the watchful eyes of everyone present.

The lighting and photography were always on her.

Just as she went on stage, Fang Hong also received a message from Zhang Hongsen.

The message came way too late; Liu Tianxian had already gone on stage before it arrived. Fang Hong hadn't even replied to it. If Liu Tianxian had spoken, it would have proven that they had notified her properly and that she was very cooperative.

If you haven't said anything, explain to Zhang Hongsen that you sent it too late.

On the bright and dazzling stage, Liu Yifei accepted the Oscar trophy from Leonardo DiCaprio and expressed her gratitude to him.

Leonardo DiCaprio stood aside, giving her the stage.

The Oscar stage doesn't have microphones; their microphones are placed in the gaps in the stage floor, supplemented by a 3D sound reinforcement system.

"Thank you so much to the organizing committee. I'm so sorry, my hands are shaking." Liu Tianxian paused here as she stood in the center of the stage.

She was so excited that she didn't know what to say or how to express herself. The audience members all sat down, staring at the Eastern woman on stage with varying expressions, some resentful, some puzzled.

Why give the award to this Chinese-American woman?
The Oscars are not based on nationality; Ang Lee and later Michelle Yeoh have both won them.

Whether you can win an award depends on your work and whether you are willing to spend money. Spending money is necessary, but it is definitely not the main factor. After all, there are tens of thousands of judges. Even if you bribe half of them, giving each of them $10, that would still amount to $50 billion.

Spending such a huge sum of money on the Oscars is like throwing money down the drain. What good is winning an award anyway? Not to mention that tens of thousands of judges are all anonymous and scattered around the world.

China also has its own judges, including Zhang Yimou, Wong Kar-wai, Jia Zhangke, Peter Pau, and composer Tan Dun.

Later, Zhang Ziyi, Andy Lau, and Tony Leung were also judges.

While there are ideological obstacles, money can win the favor of some people, and others can simply vote based on their feelings.

"Thank you all, and thank you to the other actresses nominated. You are all outstanding actresses, and I admire you beyond words. It is my honor to be nominated for this highest honor alongside you."

Liu Tianxian calmed herself down on stage, and what she said was just humility, after all, she had defeated many seemingly impossible people, especially Aunt Mei.

The camera also briefly focused on the nominated actresses, but their emotions were unreadable; what could they do after losing?

Liu Tianxian held the little golden statue tightly in her hand and said excitedly, "Today I want to especially thank someone, a very important person in my life, my husband. He has supported me and encouraged me all the way. Without him, I don't know how many opportunities and how much luck I would have needed to achieve who I am today."

So I'm very grateful to him. He gave me many opportunities, a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and the purest love. I told him I wanted the Best Actress award, and he helped me get it.

Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

At this point, the entire audience burst into enthusiastic applause. "Love" is a universal concept.

This is because many people yearn for such pure love, untainted by any self-interest.

Fang Hong gazed gently at Liu Tianxian on the stage. He couldn't understand English, but with Yu Xian translating for him, he could sense the changes in Liu Tianxian's emotions.

"At the same time, I would also like to thank my mother and my mother-in-law. It is their support that has allowed me to focus on acting without any distractions. I would also like to thank my child. Although he was just born, his birth has made my life more complete."

Yes! I am a mother, and we have a child.

Liu Tianxian's last sentence seemed to have a silent power, drawing continuous applause from the audience.

The Chinese internet was already buzzing with excitement, as it was broadcasting Liu Tianxian's activities in real time.

#Liu Yifan and the Principal's Purest Love#
#Liu Tianxian said: We have a child#
Such topics continued to climb on various trending searches, with readership quickly exceeding hundreds of millions and even billions. And it wasn't just these two; the previous few were also on the trending search list.

Half of the top 20 trending topics on various websites are about Liu Yifei. At this moment, she is sweeping the entire internet, and all the attention is focused on her.

Once the video clips are released, they will be in the millions.

The clip of her acceptance speech on YouTube has also garnered over 100 million views, with the screen filled with comments using "Crystal," which is Liu Tianxian's English name.

The award received over four million retweets on Twitter.

Liu Yifei still has quite a few fans around the world.

Meanwhile, Liu Xiaoli, who was at home, was watching her daughter at the Oscars on TV. Seeing her daughter's excited expression when she won the award, she couldn't help but take out a tissue to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Only the mother and daughter know how difficult their journey has been; it's not something that can be explained to outsiders.

Xu Liyun was also touched and happy for her daughter-in-law.

"I want to thank a wonderful country, China! My birthplace, my motherland, has made me who I am," Liu Tianxian said, then raised the little golden statuette with great force.

The image was captured at that moment and broadcast to the world!

Zhang Hongsen was very satisfied with the live stream, and many others were also very satisfied, and they had already prepared promotional headlines.

Just as Liu Tianxian finished speaking and was about to leave the stage, with music and applause playing to bid her farewell, she seemed to remember something and hurriedly ran back.

"Wait, wait, wait..." Liu Tianxian excitedly waved her hands and gestured repeatedly to stop the music and the applause.

His flustered behavior was somewhat endearing, causing the celebrities and public figures present to burst into laughter.

Viewers around the world watching the live stream were touched by her genuine personality, with comments like "hahaha" and "so cute" constantly flooding the screen.

"Finally, I want to thank the audience and fans around the world. Because of you, I have the motivation to continue performing good works. Thank you!" Liu Tianxian said, clutching her chest, her dress catching her eye.

He bowed deeply to the audience and the cameras!
"Haha, you finally remembered me!"

"I thought Sisi had forgotten me. Even though you and the principal have a child, you can't forget me (doge emoji for protection)."

"Thank you, Sisi, you're welcome!"

"My beloved Sissi!"

Since the audience was worldwide, many people were amused by Liu Tianxian's actions, and overseas viewers were discussing it extensively.

At the Oscars, after Liu Yifei finished her acceptance speech, she went backstage for an interview. The interview focused on her feelings about winning the award, which she had already shared on stage, so this was simply a repetition.

Even if asked about sensitive topics, she could handle it. Fang Hong had told her that she must never waver in her stance, otherwise people would misinterpret it and seize on loopholes to exaggerate it.

After the Best Actress award was presented, only the Best Picture award remained, which was won by "La La Land," so of course, everyone had to get up.

The Oscars, which lasted for three hours, finally came to an end, and the celebrities and stars in attendance gradually began to leave.
