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

Chapter 396: Parallel to the Classics of the Past
"The dust has settled on this year's Oscars' Best Director, with Director Zhang and Director Chen recognized. This is the second time that a domestic director has won this honor on the Oscar stage.

It is also worth mentioning that Sunset, as a foreign language film, won five awards including Best Foreign Language Film, Best Director and Best Actress, surpassing the 5 out of 10 nominations for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon that year.

Tu Jingwei was even more excited. As a host in the film industry, she understood the difficulties involved.

She added, "It is worth mentioning that this time, "Sunset" tells a Chinese story and reflects the emotions of the Chinese people, which is even more rare."

As a special guest, Wang Rui spoke up for his disciple.

"At the same time, Chen is also the youngest Best Director winner in Oscar history, and he pushed this record back ten years, which is almost impossible to be surpassed."

Zhu Jun agreed, "Yes, the value of this Best Director award is really too high..."

"..."

Lu Chuan, who was watching the live broadcast on TV intently, was so jealous when she saw this scene that she almost went crazy.

At the same time, he felt completely disappointed. Because of the "Nanjing" incident, he had thought that things will change over time, and don't bully the young... Well, you will be poor in middle age.

However, now that Chen has won the Oscar for Best Director, his hopes of making a comeback in the future are even slimmer.

Lu Yang, Guo Fan and others who were being trained by Director Chen were simply happy.

Damn, the teacher suddenly became an Oscar-winning director, and my student’s popularity has also increased.

The teacher is so awesome.

In the Beijing circle, everyone is numb.

Zhang Guoli exclaimed, "He even won the Best Director award. This is incredible. Sunset is truly a masterpiece."

Jiang Wen nodded and said, "Yes, with the Cannes Palme d'Or and the Oscars, it has directly entered the top three in domestic history."

"That's a bit modest. Just looking at the awards, it's definitely the best in history."

"That's not necessarily true. Farewell My Concubine is not necessarily inferior to others in terms of quality. Art is not just about awards." Jiang Wen still said what he thought.

When talking about "Farewell My Concubine", everyone looks at the person involved, Chen Kaige.

Da Chen's face darkened. "Why are you looking at me? I can't comment on this."

Yes, Director Kai Ge should be difficult to talk to either.

Everyone nodded in understanding and tried not to look at him anymore.

What's even more annoying is what's going on.

Chen Kaige didn't have any ideas himself, but he was annoyed by their deliberate avoidance.

In fact, he was indeed a little unhappy, mainly because of his resentment towards Xiao Chen.

Everyone knows that we have the same surname, so why did he only look for Zhang Yimou and not me? It would have been great if he had looked for me. Then, both Chen and Chen would have received the award together, which would have been a great story.

Chen Kaige thought about it and felt more and more sad.

Naying couldn't help but said, "No, this is how the Oscars give out awards? No consideration of rules at all? How are the best films going to be given out? Will they give it to Sunset or not?"

Ye Daying couldn't help but nodded, "Yes, if I give it again, it will be too exaggerated. If I don't give it, the scene will be too embarrassing."

As we're talking about this, the Best Film awards are being presented on TV.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Best Picture award went to "The Hurt Locker". Fortunately, the Oscar organizing committee still has some sense and knows not to dominate the award with one company.

Although this score is not very much.

Wang Shuo said bluntly, "The Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actress, and Best Director awards were all given to Sunset. So which one is the Best Film? I've never seen such a shabby Best Film."

……

Kathryn Bigelow at the scene was also thinking about this question. She now wanted to just throw the award to Chen. It would be better not to take it.

It would be nice to lose gracefully, like in Avatar.

It has become like this now, and maybe even many years later, he will be dragged out and whipped.

When it comes to the worst and best movies in history, the first thing that comes to mind is probably "The Hurt Locker".

Why did it turn out like this when it was such a popular movie?
When Catherine thought of this, her heart was filled with resentment towards Chartier.

James Cameron looked at his ex-wife strangely. He thought that his ex-wife would be in the limelight this time.

He was mentally prepared to be used as a scapegoat by the media, but he didn't expect his ex-wife to go from being in the limelight to falling flat on her face.

That's too bad. Fortunately, I didn't win the Best Film award.

Now that the show is about to end, some stars will go to the nearby Vanity Fair to attend the subsequent cocktail party.

This is also a tradition after the Oscars.

As the biggest winner, Chen Linfeng naturally had to accept everyone's congratulations.

Then he saw that Kathryn Bigelow, who was very conspicuous because of her height, was walking in the other direction.

The direction is completely different from that of the main force.

He paid high tribute to it.

I was originally satisfied with winning the Best Foreign Language Film award, but I didn't expect the other party to push me.

What a good man.

He was not in a hurry to go to Vanity Fair. As an Oscar winner, he had to engrave his name on the little golden man first.

This is also a wonderful process.

Since it was no longer a formal occasion, Chen Linfeng took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the trophy being engraved, and posted it on Weibo.

"It's been a good harvest tonight. Oh, it should be noon in China. The little golden man is being engraved. Let's take a picture of it for everyone to enjoy."

Then I turned off my phone and left it alone.

Vanity Fair Party.

Chen Linfeng has come here more than once, and it’s no longer new to him.

Liu Qianqian seemed very curious, but she just looked around and lost interest.

It was not much different from most celebrity parties, except that there were more celebrities and reporters.

As the most eye-catching stars tonight, both the two directors and the many main creators of the crew received courtesy and congratulations from the stars.

During this process, Leonardo talked to him about "Inception" again.

He had read the novel and was fascinated by the story.

However, the schedule for the second half of the year has already been confirmed, so if we want to start filming, we will probably have to wait until next year.

Chen Linfeng said that this was no problem.

He hadn't planned to start too early, so it was just right.

In addition to this one important matter, there are countless people who come to him hoping to cooperate.

Whether it is a producer, director, or actor, everyone has something to ask for.

Because Chen Linfeng has too many identities, in the eyes of others, he represents infinite possibilities.

At three or four in the morning, Chen Linfeng could no longer hold on and his excitement had worn off.

Liu Qianqian is similar. If she is not shooting a night scene, she rarely sleeps so late.

So the two of them returned to their residence and fell into a deep sleep.

And while they were sleeping.

The results of Oscar night spread around the world.

In fact, as soon as the Oscars were announced, the Internet began to spread related news crazily, and the media followed closely.

"Sunset tells the story of an extraordinary night." - The New York Times

"The Chen & Zhang combination defeated the former husband-and-wife combination." - Los Angeles Times

"The art film "Sunset", which tells the story of love between the elderly, won five awards including Best Director, Best Actress and Foreign Language Film, making this 'foreign film' the biggest winner of the Kodak Theater that night." - The Times

"I think the person who should be most regretful now should be Nicolas Chartier himself. His improper canvassing for votes has ruined everything that should have belonged to The Hurt Locker." - Le Monde

"The youngest best director in history!" - The Washington Post

"Lü Zhong wrote a Hollywood miracle, becoming the first Chinese actress to win an Oscar." - "Beautiful Country Today"

"..."

Media from all over the world have reported related news.

After the Oscars, "Sunset" became the biggest publicity hotspot.

Online social platforms are slightly different.

Although the news of "Sunset" winning the award was widely spread, people were still concerned about more interesting topics.

Among them, "Avatar" only won a marginal award, "The Hurt Locker" won a marginal award and the Best Film, and "Sunset" won two major awards for Best Foreign Language Film.

This sharp contrast with previous forecasts has become the hottest topic at the moment.

These three movies have been a hot topic and full of grudges before the Oscars.

At that time, many European and American netizens were watching the show.

And now the result of Oscar night is so unexpected.

It really makes netizens feel excited.

Let’s not talk about “Avatar”, a science fiction movie, it’s always unlucky.

"The Hurt Locker" was so miserable because of an email scandal that it completely became a background board.

"I really want to know how Chartier feels now."

"Please let Mr. Chartier speak out @Chartier."

"You guys are so mean, you can also call @Kathryn Bigelow to ask, I had a chance to become the first female director to win the Oscar for Best Director.

Now everything has been ruined by my colleagues. If it were me, I would want to kill someone."

"Cameron should be celebrating the Oscars' bias against science fiction films. If he had been awarded the Best Picture, I wonder if he would still be able to say 'King of the World'."

"LOL, the comments above are so mean. I am more concerned about whether "Sunset" is good or not. I am a little curious about this movie."

"I watched it before the Oscars, and I thought it was pretty good, a very good art film. From that perspective, it deserved to win the award."

"That's what I want to see too."

"..."

In Europe and the United States, most of the discussions on the Internet are by night owls who go online to discuss after watching the Oscars.

The total number of people was not very large, and the topic was completely ignited and it was time for the next day.

Due to the time difference, when the Oscar results came out, it was around noon in China.

This result is explosive news for the country.

The news that "Sunset" won five Oscars spread across the entire Internet in an instant and ignited the audience's enthusiasm for discussion.

The number of comments below the message posted by Chen Linfeng on Weibo quickly exceeded 10,000.

Related screenshots also spread across the Internet.

At this time, Weibo has become a good means of gathering popularity.

At least when netizens want to discuss, there is a place for fans with common interests to interact.

"Touch the Wind God's trophy in the front row."

"Congratulations to Xiao Chen for winning the Oscar."

"It turns out that the little golden man was delivered first and then engraved. This is the first time I know this."

"I thought that one day Chen would win all three awards and then an Oscar, and his career as a director would be complete, but I didn't expect that he would win the Best Director Oscar first."

"Compared with Director Li An, he is really not much worse. A 22-year-old super director. It's terrifying."

"..."

Other forums, BBS and other platforms have also started an endless boasting mode.

At this time, a long post appeared on Tianya again, evaluating the value of the award-winning "Sunset", which attracted everyone's attention.

The article first presents data, listing the films that have won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in the past, the number of Oscars they have won, and other heavyweight awards.

Let’s take a closer look at the films that have won the highest awards at the three major European film festivals and the ones that won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Then draw conclusions.

“Obviously, first of all, the three major European film festivals and the Oscars are mutually exclusive.

Emily Kendrick has produced more than 30 films in the past, which have won the three highest awards in Europe, but among these works, only three won the Best Picture at the Oscars.

On the other hand, it is also very difficult for a foreign film that has won the top three European awards to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Since 1950, there have been only eight such films.

The last film to win both was Pelle the Conqueror in 1987.

In other words, "Sunset" first crossed this threshold.

In addition, the three major European factors are excluded.

Judging from the works that have won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, there are very few that have won other golden awards besides that.

Among them, the more outstanding ones are "Life is Beautiful" in 1999, which also won the Best Actor and Best Original Score awards.

and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, directed by Li An, which won three technical awards in addition to the foreign language film category.

There are very few movies like this one, and most of them only won the Best Foreign Language Film award.

Of course, there is the question of whether the selection criteria for other awards are met.

But in any case, the tendency of the Oscar judges is obvious. If it wins the Best Foreign Language Film, they generally won't give it any other awards.

However, in addition to the Best Foreign Language Film, "Sunset" also won the Best Director and Best Actress awards, as well as two technical awards.

In the past, this would have been almost impossible.

This is a historic breakthrough!

Even with the gradual opening up of the Oscars, "Sunset" can undoubtedly be called the most award-winning work of all time.

Among the three highest awards in Europe, it now has an Oscar.

For the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, it has other awards such as the Palme d'Or and the Oscars for Director and Actress.

I'll win no matter how you compare.

Even if in the future there is a work that goes one step further and even wins the Oscar for Best Picture, it will also be based on the breakthrough made by "Sunset".

Just like now, when I arrange the classic works, those extremely excellent classic movies are brilliant enough even without any awards other than foreign language films.

At that time, the brilliance of "Sunset" was no longer diminished.

Perhaps in a few years, it can be regarded as a representative of world art, like "Rashomon" and "Cinema Paradiso", which have become classic best foreign language films, and be ranked alongside its predecessors."
