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

Chapter 393: Opening Their Own Business

Chen Linfeng, Liu Qianqian, Zhang Yimou and others sat down in the Kodak Theater.

Soon, Cao Yu, Liu Qingshan and others also came and sat down, and Huo Tingxiao from Zhang Yimou's team also sat around.

This is Zhang Yimou's exclusive art director, who served as the art director of "Sunset" and was also nominated for this year's Oscar for art director.

In addition, Zhao Xiaoding, a photographer who continues to work with Zhang Yimou, was nominated for Best Photography together with Cao Yu.

Lin Qi'er from Zhang Yimou's side, together with Chen Xinzhi, who was used by Chen Linfeng, participated in the competition for the best editing.

Chen Linfeng is also listed as an editor, and his ranking is still the highest.

After all, he and Zhang Yimou argued for a long time about the editing issue, and in the end it was Chen Linfeng who made the final decision.

But he didn't do much hands-on work, and the main work was still done by two editors, so more people signed up.

In fact, it can be seen from the list of characters that Chen Linfeng and Zhang Yimou were really restrained enough and tried their best to cooperate with each other, which led to the emergence of the perfect movie "Sunset".

Otherwise, the disputes between people in the same positions in each team would be enough to cause headaches.

If the work is set up for intrigue, then forget about it and it will definitely fail. In fact, many domestic works have failed because of internal strife.

Cao Yu secretly asked Zhao Xiaoding, "Brother Zhao, are you ready for your acceptance speech?"

Zhao Xiaoding patted his left chest and said, "They are all here."

At this time, the two of them no longer had the dissatisfaction they had on the crew, and they called each other brothers and were very close.

"We only have a chance of winning this one award. I wonder how many acceptance speeches Director Chen, who has a chance of winning several awards, has prepared. I feel bad for him just thinking about it."

"You're right, brother. I really want to help Director Chen share this difficulty."

Liu Qianqian also asked, "How have you prepared your acceptance speech? Don't just say a few words when the time comes. The audience all over the world are watching you, waiting for you to perform."

"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be done with it in just a sentence or two."

"Hey you," Liu Qianqian was furious, "Who do you think I'm worried about? You're still joking around at this time."

"Haha, it's okay." Chen Linfeng quickly comforted.

Actually, Liu Qianqian has a good attitude.

This time, "Sunset" won many awards, and she is at least an important supporting role.

Although she was only nominated a few times for Best Supporting Actress and didn't win any awards, she was able to maintain her mentality.

Chen Linfeng felt deeply gratified.

Liu Qianqian’s idea is that even if I didn’t win the award now, my boyfriend did, so if we round it up, it would be the same as if I won it.

Besides, Chen Linfeng had already analyzed with her that it would be very difficult for beautiful female stars to win awards.

She agrees with this and believes that winning the award would be the most difficult one.

Therefore, we have already made psychological expectations.

It can only be said that after being with Chen Linfeng, this person's face has become thicker.

In fact, she was already very surprised that the Kansas City and Florida Film Critics Associations had nominated her for Best Supporting Actress.

As a result, I have a better impression of these two places.

The awards for best makeup began to be presented on stage.

Chen Linfeng stopped chatting and looked towards the front desk.

After all, the camera is recording the scene all the time, and if you are discovered chatting, it would be considered impolite.

In fact, this kind of party might be okay for TV viewers, as they can sit or lie down as they please during the show.

But for the audience, it is a bit torturous. They have to sit upright for a long time, maintain their performance posture, and make appropriate expressions at the right time. It is actually a physical job.

The Best Visual Effects Award was given to "Avatar", one of the three most popular films.

This is what everyone wants and it is almost impossible to give it to others.

Although this award is a technical award, it is the least important among all the Oscar awards.

But the reason why Hollywood can be popular all over the world is that visual effects are the key.

Chen Linfeng hopes that one day he can win this award with the help of domestic special effects technology.

Or go a step further and raise the domestic special effects awards to the highest level in the world.

But this is so difficult.

The next Best Sound Editing award went to "The Hurt Locker."

Chen Linfeng raised his eyebrows. Both of the rivals had opened, and he didn't know when it would be "Sunset"'s turn.

Then the Best Sound Effects award went to "The Hurt Locker".

Chen Linfeng thought, the Oscar organizing committee would not take the email scandal seriously at all.

Thinking about my previous life, it seemed like this.

Although there was no racial discrimination gimmick, the demonstrations were not so serious.

Is Oscar really that stubborn?
Chen Linfeng's expression became a little serious.

Then, Best Art Direction.

Among the five candidates, "Avatar" has the most magnificent colors and is needless to say.

"The Young Victoria" focuses on the art style of the Victorian era, which is also one of the highlights of the film.

Chen Linfeng was not sure about this award.

However, the name read by the award presenter Sigourney Weaver was "Tingxiao Huo, Zhang Yimou, Sunset."

Although the Chinese words were too painful to read, Chen Linfeng still recognized them immediately.

Sunset is also open!

Zhang Yimou stood up with a big laugh, pulled Huo Tingxiao up, and hugged and celebrated with the people around him.

After the celebration, the two went on stage to receive their awards.

"Old Zhang is still amazing." Chen Linfeng sighed in his heart after sitting down.

In terms of color and artistic beauty, it never lags behind others, even though "Sunset" uses only a few scenes.

But the so-called "building a temple in a snail shell" means that the more plain and few scenes there are, the more the beauty of the picture can be brought to the extreme and the more touching it can make people tremble in their hearts and bow down to it.

The extreme beauty of the picture is one of the keys to the fact that "Sunset" can be regarded as a near-perfect work.

Zhang Yimou and Huo Tingxiao went on stage together.

Sigourney Weaver was very respectful and handed the trophy in her hand to Zhang Yimou, but was more casual towards Huo Tingxiao.

But it's not eye-catching.

Hollywood's tendency to bully the weak is almost ingrained in its bones, which is normal.

The artistic achievement of "Sunset" is obvious to all, and the guests present were very impressed.

When Zhang Yimou stood up and was about to give his acceptance speech, the entire audience applauded, giving him great respect.

In the backstage studio, Wang Rui was obviously a little excited.

“Best Art Direction, although this award is a technical award, it represents that Sunset has reached a very high artistic standard in terms of picture and aesthetics.

In comparison, Avatar is about fantasy and magnificence, while Sunset is about the beauty of art and life. At least in the eyes of the Oscar judges this time, the beauty of reality is greater than the beauty of imagination. "

As a director and teacher with an artistic bent, Wang Rui's words carry some personal sentiments.

But it is true that art is greater than science fiction, and this is also the main theme of this year's Oscars.

But then, the Best Cinematography award was won by "Avatar" again.

In fact, this is easy to understand. The first mature 3D masterpiece that has spread all over the world, its shooting concept and techniques are destined to have a far-reaching impact, and can even guide later directors and photographers.

The significance is so great.

At least this year, no work can compete with "Avatar" for this award.

Chen Linfeng watched the familiar Moro Fiora go on stage to receive the award. He was also one of the photographers of "Infinite World".

He often asked for advice on how to shoot 3D movies.

Cao Yu also has a good relationship with him.

Then, "The Hurt Locker" came on stage to receive the award for Best Original Screenplay.

Chen Linfeng began to suspect whether the organizing committee was deliberately manipulating the show's effects.

Is it really just one per family, taking turns?
After the Best Adapted Screenplay, the Best Animated Feature Film award went to "Up".

This is also a relatively famous animated film in later generations. It was also the opening film at the Cannes Film Festival, and Chen Linfeng had also seen it at that time.

He couldn't help but think of the Minions.

If it was screened earlier, maybe it could have caught up with this year's Oscars.

Too bad it was delayed until the summer vacation.

Next up, the best editing award went to "Sunset".

Okay, it’s confirmed, this is really how it works.

Chen Linfeng was still denouncing the Oscar Organizing Committee in his heart when Liu Qianqian screamed in surprise.

"Xiaofeng, you won another award."

Chen Linfeng reacted instantly and realized that his name was in the clip.

At most three people can receive an Oscar award, which is just the right number.

Chen Linfeng straightened his clothes, celebrated briefly with the people around him, and then went on stage to receive the award with Lin Qier and Chen Xinzhi.

The other two people almost forgot how to walk, but fortunately this emotion was only temporary and they felt much better after they went on stage.

Tyler Perry handed out trophies to the three.

When he gave it to Chen Linfeng, he bowed his head slightly and congratulated, "Chen, congratulations."

"Thank you."

Chen Linfeng took the trophy, hugged him, patted him on the back, and acted very familiar with it.

In the subsequent acceptance speech, he let the other two speak first.

The two always obeyed orders and spoke first.

When Chen Xinzhi gave his acceptance speech, he mentioned the dispute between Chen Linfeng and Zhang Yimou over editing.

In his words, "The biggest difficulty in winning the Best Editing Award was probably how to choose between the two directors' opinions. Fortunately, they finally came to an agreement among themselves."

Lin Qi'er also mentioned this. She praised Chen Linfeng's editing choices and said that everyone present admired Director Chen's persistence, and the final result proved that he was right.

Zhang Yimou mentioned this before when he won an award in Cannes, but the venue is different after all.

Now, many of the guests on the scene heard about it for the first time, and many of the audience watching on TV also heard about it for the first time.

Zhu Jun in the studio asked Wang Rui, "Does it happen often that the crew disagrees on the work?"

Wang Rui replied, "In fact, under normal circumstances, a crew usually has a clear person in charge. For example, in China, the director is the person who decides the final editing effect and is responsible for the artistic level of the work.

It’s just that the crew of Sunset is a little special, with two great directors working together, and their status is similar, which is very rare. Fortunately, they both simply took responsibility for the work, which is why they created such an excellent work. "

He paused, and added, "In fact, Xiao Chen mentioned this to me. In his opinion, Director Zhang's insistence may not be unreasonable.

It's just that based on his own understanding, he thinks his idea is less likely to be wrong. Director Zhang may have given up his idea for this reason.

So really speaking, there is no difference between the two directors’ ideas, they are just different choices.”

Zhu Jun praised, "But it is precisely because of this that the collision of ideas between the two directors is even more valuable. They have their own persistence, but at the same time they can give up soberly. No wonder "Sunset" is so recognized."

"Mr. Zhu's words are very well said." Wang Shuo sometimes sighs and wishes he could master this art of speaking.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. The style of painting is not right.

Zhang Guoli said, "Wang Rui is right. It is not easy for two directors of the same status to come together without any major conflicts."

Chen Kaige sneered and said that with Xiao Chen as the screenwriter, he would certainly know how to make the choice.

If he cooperated with Xiao Chen.

hum~
Oh, the more I think about it, the worse it gets.
