Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 272 Capture
"Good, a good start!"

Huang Ze muttered something in a low voice, and immediately raised his hands and applauded!

Other people in the auditorium also applauded.

"thanks, thanks."

Zhang Shuping stood up, feeling indescribably happy.

Even a little bit dizzy.

As an art director, costume designer, and editor.

At this moment, he has achieved something in the field of art direction that many art directors have never accomplished in their entire lives.

Recalling his first time as an art director, it was in 81.

Ten years passed in a flash, but it has come to an end.

The person he wanted to thank most was Huang Ze.

He came over and hugged Huang Ze. After he walked onto the stage, the first thing he thanked was the Oscar judges, and the second one was naturally Huang Ze.

"Thank you Director Huang Ze for giving me this opportunity, and thank you to the actors for their wonderful performances."

"To be honest, I never thought that I would stand on the Oscar podium one day..."

After talking for a minute or two, Zhang Shuping came down with the little golden man.

The second award is for Best Photography.

What Huang Ze didn't expect was that the award was given to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" again!
As soon as Liu Weiqiang saw Zhang Shuping’s trophy, he excitedly went up to get his own trophy.

When he was receiving his acceptance speech, in addition to thanking the judges and Huang Ze and others, he also specifically thanked Zhang Yimou.

He was not originally good at shooting this kind of scenes, and Zhang Yimou gave him a lot of guidance.

"This trophy belongs half to Zhang Yimou."

“Hehehe.” Zhang Yimou in the studio laughed, “Wei Qiang is actually a very talented photographer. Even without me, he can still win this award.”

"Hey, that's off topic. Tonight there are many firsts for Chinese films and TV series, including the first Chinese Oscar winner for Best Art Direction."

"This is the first time that a non-American Chinese has won the Oscar for Best Cinematography."

"The reason why I say non-American is because Chinese American Huang Zongzhan was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography 56 times and won the Oscar twice in 63 and ."

……

In the auditorium.

The awards ceremony continues.

After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won two splits, it was the turn of another classic masterpiece, "Ghost".

Whoopi Goldberg, who starred in the film, won the Best Supporting Actress award.

The Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Screenplay awards were won by "Dances with Wolves" and "Ghost" respectively.

The best change script for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fell through.

But with two reds at the start, Huang Ze had nothing to be disappointed about.

The main goal this time is the Best Foreign Language Film!

As long as you hold it, you have achieved your goal!

After a while, we arrived at the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which is also the award that the audience in the domestic film and television circles cares about the most, the Best Foreign Language Film!

"The winners of the 63rd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film are..."

“Journey of Hope from Switzerland.”

"Cyrano de Bergerac from France."

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon from China." "I'm Not a Bad Girl from Germany."

“Italian: Open Your Heart.”

"The winner of this year's foreign language film is..."

"Congratulations to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Jerry Wong!"

"Boom!" Thunderous applause rang out again, and most of the other guests looked towards Huang Ze.

In the eyes of those who are in the Hollywood circle, Huang Ze is definitely a magical person from the East.

In addition to being an excellent singer, he is also an outstanding director.

Moreover, the films he directed have been highly praised in the industry. Whether it is the composition and tone, or the structure of the film, multi-line narrative, or circular narrative, they have all made a significant contribution to the film industry.

And the fact that this Chinese-language film has now earned nearly 100 million US dollars at the box office, raising the North American foreign-language film box office record several times, is like a dream to them.

In their opinion, just looking at the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", tonight's Best Foreign Language Film must go to Huang Ze, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

However, Huang Zeke didn't believe in himself as much as they did, so after hearing that he had achieved his goal for tonight, his heart was filled with ecstasy.

After hugging the two people around him, Huang Ze walked onto the stage with a graceful stride.

"Congratulations, Huang."

"Thank you!"

After receiving the trophy from the guest in the award ceremony room, Huang Ze couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you to the jury. I am very happy today that I can win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film with a Chinese-language film."

"I hope this is just the beginning. In the future, I can try my best to serve as a bridge between Chinese-language films and the Oscars, so that more Chinese-language films can participate in the Oscars."

After saying a few far-sighted words, Huang Ze began to thank others one by one.

"This shoot was really not easy for the actors. Li Lianjie, Xiao Fangfang, and Ning Jing all had to hang on wires for several hours. They had recovery treatment that night and continued hanging the next day."

"Without their efforts, it would be difficult to have the wonderful martial arts scenes in the film."

"I would also like to thank every actor who participated in the film. It is you who made this film together."

"Thanks to assistant director Zhang Jianya, Zhang Yimou, and cinematographer Liu Weiqiang..."

"Finally, I would like to thank the author of the original novel of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Mr. Wang Dulu, who is now in heaven. Thank you for writing such a wonderful novel!"

After finishing his speech, Huang Ze walked down the podium holding the trophy.

Sitting back in his seat, Li Lianjie immediately asked Huang Ze to take the trophy and look at it, "By the way, is the Best Actress trophy also like this?"

"Good fellow, you really are interested in the movie queen?"

"Brother Huang, I'm just teasing you." Li Lianjie laughed, "By the way, can you get a nomination for Best Actor?"

"It's still possible if you're just nominated. It's not as difficult as winning the award."

"Of course, difficulty is relative. It is still more difficult than for American actors. The key is that you are an action actor, and acting is not your strong point. Even if you practice it in the future, the judges will have a stereotyped impression of you. This impression will definitely make it more difficult for you to get a nomination."

While Huang Ze and Li Lianjie were chatting, Zhang Yimou in the domestic studio was already smiling so hard that his face was full of wrinkles, as if he had won an Oscar.

"Congratulations Huang Ze."

"This is the first Chinese-language film to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!"

“It means a lot!”

"This means that our country's films can also enter the Oscars and get good box office in North America."

“It will also encourage us filmmakers to continue to go out and integrate with the world film industry.”

"I hope that just like Taste of Cherry won the Golden Lion Award a few years ago, and Chinese-language films have won the three major awards in a row, Chinese-language films can continue to appear on the Oscar stage in the future!"
