Chapter 369: Mouse's Highlight Moment
The long-awaited Oscars finally began.
The journey of "1937" has also reached the last stop.
After "1937" passed the Berlin Film Festival, its reputation became much greater than before.
After the Berlin Golden Bear Award was awarded, "1937" did not cause much controversy in the international film industry.
In other words, the international community basically recognized this movie.
In North America, "1937" has been released for a week now.
The box office is 21 million, which is a very good result, representing the recognition of the public.
Professional film reviews also praised and marveled at the film's technology.
For issues other than technology, although some people are pessimistic, they are generally good.
Although Neon is still making trouble, they seem to have understood that when Lu Ping'an broke the window paper of "death threat", what they did was more to send heat to Lu Ping'an.
In addition, at the earlier Golden Globe Awards, "1937" also won four technical awards, which was also sprayed by some old American media, saying that some judges did not understand technology.
So if the Oscars don't give him any awards for "1937" now, it's really Oscar's problem.
But when the awards ceremony really starts, everyone will inevitably feel nervous.
What if he really loses?
If he really loses, it will be an international joke.
Oscars are shameless, but we have to be proud.
In addition, the opponents are indeed very strong.
"Pan's Labyrinth", "Flags of Our Fathers", "Letters from Iwo Jima", "Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest" and so on.
They are all strong contenders for technical awards.
So the more you think about it, the lower the probability of winning the award seems.
And it's not just Xingchen who has this kind of nervousness.
Most of the people at the scene are like this.
The reason for their nervousness is much simpler.
Oscars, if you win the award, your value will soar, so you can't help but be nervous.
This emotion became stronger and stronger as the official opening approached.
It wasn't until the host came on stage that everyone applauded.
The Oscars officially began.
Next, various awards were presented one by one from small to large.
Best Documentary and Best Documentary Short Film were released first.
In the Best Documentary Short Film category, Chinese director Yang Ziye won the Golden Man with "Children of Yingzhou".
This is a documentary short film about caring for children with AIDS.
Yang Ziye immigrated to the United States a few years ago and was a Hong Konger before immigration.
In general, just give him a round of applause.
Next is the Best Costume Design.
"1937" was not nominated for this award, but "Curse of the Golden Flower" was.
Zhang Weipin, who was at the scene, felt his anus tighten.
He also has ambitions.
The Chinese have already won the award, so can we?
If our "Curse of the Golden Flower" won it, and Lu Ping'an failed in all 11 awards, hehe.
As a result, the answer was revealed before the anal lifting exercise was finished, and it was "Marie Antoinette" that won it.
Zhang Weipin OUT!
Next is the Best Editing.
This award is not a suspense in the eyes of almost all media people.
All the movies shot in one shot are here, and the completion is so good. So far, many technical experts have not come up with a unified answer to how many editing points there are in the movie. If you don't give it, you are simply sick!
So when the host called out "1937", Zhang Yifan stood up calmly to accept the applause.
But Lu Pingan also found that his hands were shaking.
"Don't be nervous, come on!"
Lu Pingan cheered.
Zhang Yifan took a few deep breaths and went on stage.
And Zhang Yifan's appearance can be regarded as another serious Chinese filmmaker in the history of Oscars. At the same time, Zhang Yifan can basically call himself the first editor in China.
After a good start, the next is the best art direction.
"1937" was also nominated, but unfortunately it was won by "Pan's Labyrinth".
The next best sound effects lost to "Dreamgirls", the best visual effects lost to "Pirates of the Caribbean" lost to "The Pirates of the Caribbean", and the best original screenplay lost to "Little Miss Sunshine".
When presenting the Best Adapted Screenplay, the new Best Actress Helen Mirren and the old Best Actor Tom Hanks came on stage to present the award. The big screen immediately showed the trailers of the five candidate films. When the voice-over introduced "The Departed", it was said that the film was adapted from a Japanese film.
This accident, which happened in the same time and space as in the original time and space, made Lu Ping'an's face fall.
Ning Hao and others also fell after Hu Qingquan explained.
When Martin Scorsese came on stage to receive the award, he kept thanking Hong Kong, thanking Liu Weiqiang, and praised Asian films. This move made people feel a little relieved, but it still couldn't make up for the mistakes made by the Oscars.
The impact of such an accident also swept away the tension of the Star Team.
Of course, something should be done at this time.
Soon, the opportunity came.
The next one was the Best Cinematography, which was not unexpectedly awarded to "1937".
It was still the bonus of one shot.
This award is the same as the Best Editing, which is the most likely award for "1937" this time.
Ning Hao had already lost his initial nervousness.
Of course, he was not very excited about becoming the first photographer in China.
In the camera, he hugged Lu Pingan and others, and looked just happy.
Then he straightened his clothes and went on stage.
He looked calm and composed, and with his appearance, he looked like a gangster boss.
When he received the golden statue, he first said in his not-so-standard English: "In China, the biggest insult to a person is to call him Japanese, so I am very happy that the organizing committee read my nationality correctly this time."
After one sentence, there was some silence at the scene.
Everyone knew that this was a criticism of the previous mistake.
But many people felt that it was just a small mistake, so what?
So many people felt that the person on the stage did not know the rules and was not polite.
Of course, many people also felt that this person was very brave!
The Chinese people in front of the TV were of course the happiest.
Ning Hao is awesome!
Ning Hao continued at the scene: "This proves that our efforts are useful. Making mistakes is not terrible. What is terrible is that you do something wrong but do not admit that it is a mistake. The history of World War II in Asia has always been like this in the past few decades. I would like to sincerely thank the organizing committee for giving "1937" fair treatment. Thank you, and thank my team, thank you Lu Ping'an, thank you my motherland, thank you!"
In the end, he still rounded it up.
I didn't say much, mainly because my English was not very fluent.
Ning Hao was a little helpless about this.
When he left the stage, there was a lot of applause.
Some people didn't dare to applaud.
Some people applauded fiercely.
Some of them were Lu Pingan and his friends, some were righteous people, and the rest were just watching the fun.
When Ning Hao came back, his legs were a little weak.
Lu Pingan and others praised: "So handsome!"
Ning Hao kept saying "It's terrible, it's not going to be banned, right?"
Lu Pingan didn't care about it.
"What the hell, you Oscar messed up a few times, can't we fight back? Besides, we have already won the award, it's not a loss, why should we be afraid of it!"
"You're right!"
Everyone echoed in unison.
Lu Pingan continued to comfort: "Don't worry, if you really think the limelight is too big, I will say something more fierce if I can go on stage later."
"No, just accept the award well, I don't have to mix in Hollywood, you have to mix."
"Stop talking nonsense, I've been threatened with death, and I'm afraid of this?"
Lu Pingan was determined and immediately began to adjust his acceptance speech.
But unfortunately, he didn't have a chance next time.
Then, "1937" won two more awards.
The Best Sound Editing and Best Original Score awards were presented by foreigners.
So far, "1937" has successfully won four technical awards, and the winning projects are the same as expected.
Also as expected, it failed to win the last two nominations.
The Best Makeup was lost to "Pan's Labyrinth", which can't be helped, because it is a magic movie, and the makeup level is not on the same line.
And the Best Director award was won by Martin Scorsese of "The Departed" just like the original time and space.
And "The Departed" will continue to win the Best Picture next, which was considered a surprise by many media later, and many people also thought that Oscar meant to pay Martin Scorsese back.
This is similar to Dell's intelligence, and there are indeed more things behind the scenes of this movie.
