Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 186 The youngest in history?

In fact, the words here are not rigorous. It is talking about China's first Oscar for Animated Short Film, but it sounds like the first Chinese to win an Oscar.

But the last person who won the award will understand.

The host certainly did not mean to make such ambiguous remarks, but they did reveal his inner thoughts to some extent.

Shi Xiaolong grinned as he watched his younger brother win the award on TV and then gave his acceptance speech. Although he had felt disappointed before for not being as good as his younger brother, he was just happy now.

"Clap clap clap!"

I was speechless and could only applaud.

Wang Yanping was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. "Xiaofeng is really amazing. This child has worked hard since he was young, and God has not let his efforts go to waste."

Chen Shantong silently took out a cigarette and lit it.

Liu Xiaoli also saw the award ceremony.

She sighed with emotion, "Xiao Chen is different now. We used to call him Writer Xiao Chen, but from now on we have to call him Director Xiao Chen."

Liu Qianqian's eyes curved with laughter. "No matter what others call him, he is still the same person."

"That's right. This kid is very stable and has been famous since he was young. He won't change his personality because of this."

Chen Linfeng stepped down from the stage and once again hugged and celebrated with the people around him.

Lasseter exclaimed, "Chen, you have become the youngest Oscar-winning director. This is a miracle."

"A director of an animated short film, Lasseter, we all know that this is not worthy of your praise. It is the feature films that everyone values."

"You can't say that, Chen. Even if you expand the scope, you are almost the youngest Oscar winner. The media will definitely be excited about it."

In fact, it is true, and the Sixth Princess’ studio is discussing this topic.

"Chen Linfeng just turned 18 at the beginning of this year. Can he be considered the youngest person to win an Oscar?"

"It shouldn't be considered that. When Shirley Temple was 7 years old, she won a special Oscar, also known as the Oscar Teen Award. As the name suggests, it is an award specifically for child actors.

This award was cancelled in 1961, and Chen Linfeng should be considered the youngest Oscar winner since then, or in other words, the youngest Oscar-winning director in history."

On the Internet, on the homepage of Sina’s portal website, the news headline is “The Youngest Oscar-Winning Director in History is Born.”

Penguin followed up with a similar report.

The media in the United States are also working overtime to produce press releases, which is the best interpretation of the United States dream.

The fact that a young Chinese man who has just reached adulthood can win an Oscar is enough to illustrate the openness and inclusiveness of our great America.

New York Times reporter William instructed his staff, "Quickly search Chen's past experience. We can't learn from those tabloids and only focus on the headlines.

The New York Times is a serious media outlet and we need more detailed and meaningful reports.

Of course, the title can still be slightly provocative, such as "Winner of the Best Animated Short Film Award, the Youngest Oscar-winning Director in History, How a Chinese Man Realized His Beautiful Dream."

"Yes, sir."

"Huh? Wait." William heard the latest news from the venue through his headphones.

"Change the title. He also won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award. Oh, damn, how could this Chen be so powerful right from the start? Is his dream of a beautiful country too beautiful?"

……

At the Oscar party, Chen Linfeng laughed happily. Although he had to share the award with Stanton, he got a lot of golden statues.

There will be no shortage of honors, even though some people may think that since the screenwriter who won the top prize is Stanton, Chen Linfeng may have won the award in vain.

However, after a long time, not many people will be bothered by this issue anymore, just like Chen Kaige's double yolk Palme d'Or.

The next Best Original Screenplay award was won by "Crash". Chen Linfeng knew that the script for this Oscar would probably not change.

Prior to this, Crash also won the Best Editing Award. Generally speaking, these two awards are most likely to be awarded together with the Best Picture Award. If you want the Best Picture Award, you have to win at least one of them.

Most people understood this truth, and they all looked towards the "Crash" crew. Director Paul Haggis was trembling all over at this time, trying hard not to lose his composure.

At the same time, from a distance, one could see that Li An's face looked a little stiff.

Brokeback Mountain won no prizes for Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actress, and Best Actor.

Fortunately, Li An's name was called for the Best Director Award.

Li An felt relieved. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or regretful. In short, his mood was a bit complicated.

With only one Best Original Score award and no other awards to build on, and with Best Director as the only major award, it has little chance of winning Best Picture.

Sure enough, the Best Film award was given to "Crash". At this time, Li An's expression had returned to calm. He even smiled and applauded the winner after the winning work was announced.

After Chen Linfeng got the trophy that he deserved, all he could do was watch the show.

Even if the release date of "Wall-E" was moved from 08 to 06, it would not change the overall trend at all.

"Crash" became the big winner, while the hot favorite "Brokeback Mountain" only won the best director and original score, but this result is actually pretty good.

Haven't you watched "Good Night, and Good Luck" which is also a big hit? It performed the worst, even worse than at the Venice Film Festival, with six nominations but no wins.

From being a big hit to being a huge hit, the opportunities in life are really unexpected.

All I can say is that this is what political correctness is. You must always keep up with the versions, otherwise this will be the outcome.

Seeing such an ending, Chen Linfeng was not surprised at all. He even had time to turn around and chat with Lasseter.

Lasseter also reaped a lot this time, winning three awards including Best Animated Feature Film, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Song, which is the most awards he has ever won.

He is now all smiles, constantly feeling fortunate that he had made the decisive decision to buy Chen Linfeng's collection of novels when he first saw it.

At the same time, I am more confident about the new cooperation that will come.

Even after the broadcast delay, people in China already know all the results of the Oscars.

The Chinese won at least three major awards tonight, and the indirect awards were related to almost eight awards.

This is the greatest glory ever achieved in Chinese cinema.

The key point is that after winning the Best Director award, Li An instantly rose to the same level as directors Zhang and Chen, or even exceeded it.

Another crucial point is that although the two Oscars won by Chen Linfeng are not very important awards, the two added together do have some weight.

In particular, these are our own people, trained by our own education system.

The film and television industry is considering how to adjust the positioning of Chen Linfeng, who has previously been treated as a great writer and screenwriter.

Although the two TV series he starred in recently are also good, they are not worth mentioning compared with his other achievements.

Now that there are two more Oscars, the treatment is different again.

In the words of Tian Dazhuang, with these two awards, Xiao Chen has far exceeded the scope of an actor, and no one will regard him as a small actor.

Some departments are also considering how to publicize their ideas.

If your own children are striving to do well, you must encourage them. Especially judging from Xiao Chen's past experience, he is a person who is on his side from the bottom of his heart, which is extremely rare among literati and film and television drama creators.

"We can't let children like this suffer. I think we should publicize this issue openly." The leader made the decision.

"What about Li An? He also won a prize, and it's even bigger than Xiao Chen's."

"Even if one award is a little more important, it is definitely not as important as two awards. When you promote it, you should pay attention to the distinction and give it an appropriate degree of preference."

Everyone understood.
