Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 239 Oscar winner, if you dare to target me, I will turn against you!
"Brother Xu Yi is so handsome!"

"Brother Xu Yi has such a great temperament!"

"I have to say this guy is a natural born star!"

"Among domestic celebrities, this guy is the only one who can be considered outstanding. Compared with these Hollywood stars, other celebrities are really too unfashionable!"

"There's nothing we can do. We in China value restraint and not being ostentatious, but if you don't show off, how can you be a star?"

"Although I don't like this guy's personality, he's definitely much better than those celebrities who only know how to please foreigners!"

"The key is that this guy really has the capital to be so arrogant!"

After Xu Yi's red carpet photos were transmitted back to China, countless netizens, especially Xu Yi's fans, immediately began to comment crazily.

This year's Oscars ceremony was particularly popular in China.

There is no live broadcast in China.

But several major portals have real-time text broadcasts.

Many people are waiting for the moment when Xu Yi is crowned the best actor.

Of course, there are also many people waiting for him to be eliminated.

There is no doubt that you will be ridiculed by the entire network!
Unfortunately, these people are destined to be disappointed.

Because he is not absolutely sure, Xu Yi will not speak carelessly.

Warner Sony plus Harvey.

Even if his acting skills are average, winning a small Oscar for Best Actor will definitely not be a problem for him.

What's more, his acting skills are impeccable!
After the interview, Xu Yi brought the "Joker" crew into the Kodak Theater.

At the previous red carpet ceremony, the Joker crew appeared relatively late.

At this time, there were already many stars in the theater.

Soon, with the opening remarks of host Jon Stewart, the award ceremony officially began.

The first award is for Best Cinematography.

This is also one of the eight nominations received by "Joker".

Then the award presenter, Cameron Diaz, opened the envelope with the list of winners and took a look.

Then he smiled and announced directly: "The winner of this award is "Joker"!"

That’s right, “Joker” won the first award!
It’s definitely a good start!

The whole audience immediately burst into warm applause!

The photographer of "Joker" stood up and excitedly hugged the people around him.

He then ran to Xu Yi and hugged him.

Then he ran onto the stage.

At the same time, the news was immediately spread back to the country.

Some netizens were immediately excited!

“I didn’t expect to win the first award!”

"Speaking of which, wouldn't Joker be rated 8 out of 8?"

"Although I also hope so, this is obviously impossible. After all, no matter what, Xu Yi is also a genuine Chinese!"

"That's right, Hollywood has always discriminated against Chinese people!"

"To be precise, Hollywood discriminates against all non-Americans, including black people!"

But there were also some black fans who started to set the pace.

"It's just a Best Cinematography award, it's worthless!"

"Maybe this is a consolation prize!"

"It's possible that the Oscar committee simply doesn't want to award the Best Actor to someone, so they give a few smaller awards as a consolation!"

"The key is that the award goes to the photographer, not someone else!"

"Hahahahaha, judging by this, the Oscars might not even want to give a consolation prize to someone!"

After seeing the comments from these black fans, Xu Yi’s fans naturally became upset.

Especially at this time, the text live broadcasts of several major portals were displayed simultaneously.

When the cinematographer of "Joker" gave his acceptance speech, he specifically thanked director Xu Yi.

He also said that he was able to win this award because director Xu Yi gave him a lot of guidance.

So much so that Xu Yi’s fans were immediately excited!

"Did you hear that? Even the winner himself said that he was able to win the award because of Brother Xu Yi's guidance!"

"Consolation prize? Our brother Xu Yi doesn't need any consolation prize!"

"This Best Photography award really doesn't hold much value, so our brother Xu Yi doesn't even care about it!"

"Brother Xu Yi said he wants to win the Best Actor award, so this year's award must go to our brother Xu Yi!"

"That's right, as long as Brother Xu Yi says it, it will definitely come true. You haters, just wait to be slapped in the face!"

"A slap in the face? If these haters had any nerve, they wouldn't keep bashing Brother Xu Yi!"

"These black guys' faces were smashed by Brother Xu Yi a long time ago, so they don't have any faces at all!"

The speed of Internet development is getting faster and faster.

In addition, many of Xu Yi’s student fans have grown up.

The time spent online is increasing and becoming more free.

So that he is able to maintain the number of his fans online, and the growth rate is getting faster and faster.

And most of these fans are very "loyal".

Because as his fan, you can really “win, win, win” all the time!
All the bragging and pretense he has done so far.

Except for the box office of "Joker", it can be said that all of them have been achieved.

However, the global box office of "Joker" did not reach 10 billion US dollars.

But it was only a few tens of millions of meters away.

This is because it was not released in the country.

Otherwise, reaching a box office of 10 billion US dollars would definitely not be a problem.

So even if this pretending is not successful.

No one can say anything!
……

After Best Cinematography comes Best Art Direction.

"Joker" was not nominated for this award.

It was ultimately won jointly by the art director and set designer of "Sweeney Todd."

Next is Best Costume Design.

"Joker" was nominated for this award.

And in the end, the costume designer of "Joker" successfully won the award.

This means that "Joker" has been nominated twice and won twice.

Next was Best Makeup, for which "Joker" was not nominated.

For the Best Foreign Language Film, "Joker" is a Hollywood local film and does not meet the requirements.

No Chinese films were nominated.

Best Supporting Actress.

"Joker" was not nominated.

Best editing.

This "Joker" has been nominated.

The person who was nominated was Xu Yi himself.

But unfortunately, he was not selected this time.

Same goes for Best Sound Editing.

Xu Yi himself was nominated, but unfortunately lost again.

Unfortunately, Xu Yi was not selected for the Best Sound Effects award again.

At this point, "Joker" is still in the 2nd place.

But he got 5 out of 2.

And all those who didn’t win were nominated by Xu Yi himself.

So much so that Xu Yi laughed immediately.

I immediately understood the intention of the Oscar jury.

Under his guidance, there was no problem for the cinematographer of "Joker" to win the Best Cinematography award.

But the question is about Best Costume Design.

Why did the costume design of "Joker" win an award?
In Xu Yi's opinion, this is also the award with the lowest chance of winning.

But now he has won the award.

Then he didn't win any of his three awards.

Isn't this clearly targeting him!

Want to reduce his influence!
"Joker" is undoubtedly a very successful movie.

No one can question this.

He is also the most critical factor in the success of this movie.

But some people don't think so.

Or to be more precise, there are people who want others to think otherwise.

These people want to tell everyone that although "Joker" is a success, it is not his credit alone.

In addition to him, other people in the crew also made significant contributions.

For example, without the photographer’s superb skills, it would be impossible to capture so many classic shots.

Without the clown look and costume designed by the costume designer, his acting skills would be greatly reduced.

In short, other people's nominations can win awards.

But he himself has been nominated, but he has absolutely no chance of winning the award!
Except for Best Actor!

Because if he didn't even win the Best Actor award, he wouldn't be the one who should be most anxious.

But Warner Sony and Harvey.

Because this would make him doubt their abilities.

Think about whether you should continue to cooperate with them!
"It's so irritating!"

"Yeah, I didn't win a single award!"

"The three key awards I lost for were all for which I was nominated. Isn't this clearly discrimination?"

"If this continues, won't he even lose the Best Actor award?"

"If he really doesn't even win the Best Actor award, then this guy is really embarrassed!"

After the news of three consecutive failures reached China.

This immediately aroused the outrage among netizens.

Even a fool can see such blatant discrimination and targeting.

But at the same time, the black fans became even more excited.

"Hahahahahaha, someone actually ate three duck eggs right away!"

“Even though I know these small prizes don’t mean much, I still find them hilarious!”

"I advise someone to come back quickly. We can't stand this bullshit!"

"I told you, someone might not even get a consolation prize!"

"Waiting for someone to make 6 recommendations and hit 0!"

"To be exact, it should be 8 mentions and 2 hits!"

“哈哈哈哈哈，至少没有8提0中，但就怕某人宁愿8提0中，也不愿意8提2中！”

"Joker" received a total of 8 nominations this time.

Six of them were won by Xu Yi personally.

In addition to the Best Editing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Effects, which have already been eliminated.

There are also Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Actor.

Sure enough, about an hour later.

Xu Yi was not selected for the Best Original Score award again.

As many people had predicted before, Scarlett Johansson, the rumored girlfriend, would personally present the award to Xu Yi.

In the end, it didn't show up.

Then came the Best Adapted Screenplay award, and Xu Yi was also not selected.

In this way, "Joker" has won 7 out of 2 nominations.

But Xu Yi himself only got 5 hits out of 0!
So much so that even Xu Yi’s fans couldn’t stand it anymore!

"What the hell is Oscar doing!"

"Oscar, go to hell!"

"Joker's box office was so high, and our brother Xu Yi is so amazing, yet he didn't win a single award!"

"Oscar is deliberately targeting our brother Xu Yi!"

"The Best Actor award is coming soon. If Brother Xu Yi loses again, I won't pay attention to the Oscars anymore!"

"Don't worry, the best actor will definitely go to Brother Xu Yi!"

"That's right, what Brother Xu Yi said has never been impossible to achieve!"

Just then, the Best Director award was won by the Coen brothers, the directors of "No Country for Old Men".

Finally, it’s time to announce the results for the Best Actor.

Countless Chinese people.

And countless fans of Xu Yi.

I immediately became extremely nervous.

And this feeling of extreme tension and uncertainty.

Xu Yi's fans haven't experienced this for a long time...

……

The presenter of this year's Oscar for Best Actor is 63-year-old actress Helen Mirren.

She won the Oscar for Best Actress last year.

After coming to the stage, Helen Mirren hugged the host.

He stood in front of the microphone and said with a smile: "I am very happy to be the guest today and announce the winner of the Best Actor award." "But I am not so happy to be the guest."

"Because after the news that I became a guest was announced, all my friends around me told me,"

"Hey, Helen, when you go up and announce the results, don't put on any pretense, just announce it directly."

"Because everyone already knows the result!"

As she said this, everyone at the scene immediately laughed.

Countless Americans in front of their TVs also laughed.

Everyone knew who she was talking about.

The cameraman on the scene immediately gave Xu Yi a big close-up shot.

Xu Yi was very calm, looking at the stage with a smile.

Can't see any guilt.

That’s right, this Best Actor award is 100% his.

Everyone also knows that given his relationship with Harvey, he will definitely ask Harvey to help him with public relations.

However, Oscar public relations is an open secret.

Or more accurately, all awards, all award ceremonies.

Whether it’s a big prize or a small one, if you want to win a prize, you need public relations.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to win the award if you don’t do public relations.

If the work is good enough, it has a chance of winning an award even without PR.

For example, when he won three awards at Cannes for the first time.

But that was when he met Quentin, that perverted and scheming boy.

It's true that he won three awards.

Quentin also became famous because of this incident.

And as his fame grew.

Now, every time Quentin appears on a show, this incident is brought up.

But the most important thing is that he had no idea how to do public relations at that time.

There was no one he knew to introduce him.

Plus, his purpose was just to get "Chinese Paladin" aired on TV.

So it’s not necessary to win a big prize.

Even if you just win a small prize, it's basically enough.

But now he has made all the big promises.

There are so many channels.

It would be stupid not to do public relations.

Besides, considering his acting in "Joker".

Winning the Best Actor award is well deserved!
In addition, Helen Mirren, who was the award presenter, was not mocking Xu Yi.

I'm not talking about public relations either.

It’s just that Xu Yi was the favorite to win the Best Actor Oscar this year.

And it's much higher than other nominated actors.

That's why she said that.

"Helen, I think your friend is right, but as the host, I have to remind you that it's not okay to just announce it directly, because I haven't introduced the other nominated actors yet. They also need to feel a sense of participation!"

host Jon Stewart continued.

The scene erupted in laughter again.

The host then began to introduce the actors nominated for Best Actor.

A total of five people were nominated.

They are Daniel Day-Lewis, the leading actor of "There Will Be Blood".

George Clooney, the male lead in "Michael Clayton".

Johnny Depp, the male lead in "Sweeney Todd".

Viggo Mortensen, the male lead in "Tower."

And Xu Yi, the male lead of "Joker".

Every time an actor was introduced, their wonderful scenes in the movie would start playing on the big screen.

After watching these wonderful shots, everyone at the scene fell silent.

All the viewers in front of the TV were also silent.

The Joker is a character with a very distinct personality and is very easy to stand out.

Coupled with Xu Yi, his acting skills are perfect.

The effect presented is that compared with him, the other nominated actors.

The difference in acting skills is so huge that it is visible to the naked eye!
After the host has introduced all the nominated actors.

Helen Mirren didn't hesitate either.

He smiled and opened the winning envelope and took a look.

He then announced directly: "The winner is...Xu, 'Joker'!"

The scene immediately erupted in applause, which wasn't particularly enthusiastic, but definitely not cold either.

And soon the applause grew louder and louder.

The duration is not short at all.

Although they still don't agree that Xu Yihua is a Chinese.

But when Xu Yi's acting skills improved to a certain level.

Even if they wanted to deny it, they couldn't.

Not to mention that it's happening in public now.

And it's live broadcast.

At times like this, even if you disagree in your heart, you can't show it.

At least not so obviously!
Xu Yi stood up amid the applause of the crowd.

I hugged Natalie beside me.

He adjusted his Versace haute couture suit.

Then he walked onto the stage with a smile.

Meanwhile, less than 10 seconds after Helen Mirren announced the results.

This news was posted on the homepages of several major portals in China.

It was obviously well prepared.

Countless netizens.

Especially Xu Yi’s fans.

They are all completely crazy!

"Brilliant!"

"That's awesome!"

"The first Chinese Oscar winner!"

“I really got it!”

"Brother Xu Yi is so awesome!"

"I knew Brother Xu Yi could do it!"

All the haters shut up.

So what if 8 out of 3 were selected?
So what if 6 out of 1 was selected?

As long as I get the most important Best Actor award, that’s enough!

However, Xu Yi himself was obviously not satisfied with this.

Although he originally just wanted an Oscar for Best Actor.

But if you really only give him this little golden man.

And then you have to do these little tricks behind the scenes.

Then he will be unhappy.

So after he walked onto the stage, he first took the golden statuette for Best Actor from the presenter.

He also hugged the award presenter and the host.

Then he came to the microphone.

But he didn't say anything right away.

Instead, he pointed his right index and middle fingers at his head, making a shooting gesture.

At the same time, tilt your head to the other side.

This action appeared in "Joker".

It also appeared in the wonderful shot just now.

But at this time Xu Yi repeated it again, which was obviously a bit provocative.

As for the target of provocation, it goes without saying that it is the Oscar jury.

Everyone knows this.

Everyone saw that Xu Yi had made 5 attempts but none of them were successful.

"First of all, I would like to thank the Oscar committee for giving me this award."

"Also, I had thought that I might win the award, so I prepared an acceptance speech in advance."

"Of course, I believe I am not the only one who does this."

"Originally I wanted to say that Best Actor is not my end, but just my starting point."

"In addition to Best Actor, I also want to win Best Director and Best Picture."

"But now I've changed my mind."

"I found that I was more interested in the box office than the artistry."

"So from now on I might just make some commercial films that are not likely to win awards."

“My skills are also limited, and I can’t balance business and art.”

"That means you may not see my name on the nomination list for Best Director, Best Picture, or any other awards in the future."

"Thank you!"

After the provocation, Xu Yi smiled and began to give his acceptance speech.

After saying that, he walked off the stage and returned to his seat.

And still kept smiling, looking at the stage.

But the scene had already completely exploded because of his words.

Host Jon Stewart, even more so when he left the stage.

It made a series of "Wow, Wow, Wow..." sounds.

Because Xu Yi's words clearly showed that he wanted to completely withdraw from all future Oscar selections!
Just like Avril Lavigne back then.

If the Grammys dare to play tricks on her, she will announce it directly.

I won’t play with you anymore!

And Xu Yi is definitely more qualified to say this than Avril!

Because he is much richer than Avril!
The Chinese market behind it, and even the entire Asian market, is larger than everyone else's market!
Most importantly, those who truly control Hollywood are its film studios and distribution companies.

The Oscars and the organizing committee and jury behind them just have a greater influence.

There isn't much actual power.

They don’t even have the power to prevent Xu Yi’s films from being released in the United States.

At most, it might cause some trouble for Xu Yi when the movie is rated.

But Xu Yi also has Warner and Sony behind him.

So if you've offended me, you've offended me.

There's really no real loss other than not being in the Oscar race.

What's more, for Xu Yi, there is no loss at all.

Even if there is any loss, you dare to target him.

He also dares to turn against me!

It is even more impossible that he will not care just because you give him a date!
And at this time, accompanied by Xu Yi's acceptance speech and that provocative gesture.

After it was broadcast on TV.

Countless Americans were immediately dumbfounded.

Many Americans have even begun to condemn it online!
"Oh my god, is he going to withdraw from future Oscar selections?"

"If I understand correctly, that's true."

"How dare this guy!"

"The Oscars have already given him the Best Actor award, what else does he want!"

"He's provoking Oscar and the entire United States!"

"This Asian guy should die!"

"Asians get out of the US!"

But there was also a lot of gloating.

Or just watch the fun and don't mind getting involved.

This is human nature.

The Chinese are not the only country that has people who enjoy entertainment.

"Why doesn't this guy dare to withdraw from the Oscars?"

"Don't forget that this guy is a super-rich man with a net worth of over 10 billion dollars!"

"China has over 10 billion people, and Asia accounts for half of the world's population. Besides, he's only withdrawing from the Oscars, not the United States!"

"The United States is a society ruled by law. Can the Oscar judges really prevent his film from being released there?"

"Don't think I don't know why those Oscar judges targeted him. It's good enough that this guy didn't sue them for racial discrimination!"

"Few Chinese people are as tough as Xu!"

"Oscar definitely played the wrong guy this time!"
