tearjerker director
Chapter 1510 This is Oscar
Chapter 1510 This is Oscar
In March, the Oscars kicked off with much attention.
Chandler Hall, Los Angeles Music Center, where this year's Academy Awards will be held.
Several experiences in the past ten years have shown that whenever a blockbuster film receives multiple nominations, the awards ceremony will be particularly popular and the ratings will be particularly popular, and "The Intouchables" and "The Shawshank Redemption" are the biggest films of this year. Popularity has played a significant role in driving the Oscars.
In fact, coupled with the fact that both movies are produced by the same director, the ratings of the Academy Awards ceremony must be far higher than in previous years.
Because there are many more viewers from China.
Although there were platforms in China that broadcast the Oscars in previous years, obviously the attention was not that high.
In fact, just like football and basketball, when there are Chinese athletes on a certain team, that team's games will always receive higher ratings and attention.
In fact, the film aspect is no less impressive.
Many times, such as the three major European film festivals, because many domestic people have already won awards there, so the attention is not that high. After all, things are rare and valuable.
Part of the reason why the Oscars have such great influence in China is that very few domestic filmmakers have won this award.
In this way, it naturally attracts more attention, especially this year, Li Yi, the first person in Chinese movies, has two movies and more than a dozen heavyweight nominations, which has naturally attracted the attention of countless Chinese movie fans.
Although the Oscars don't officially start until the evening, in fact, there are many people outside the Oscar ceremony very early.
That long red carpet can be said to be the vanity fair that countless people want to be on. For a successful director like Li Yi, maybe it really is nothing, just walking on the red carpet, but for those who long for more fame For those who have gained fame and fortune, this is undoubtedly a more eye-catching stage than the red carpets of the three major European film festivals and a shortcut to a certain extent.
No one can tell when it started. Actresses who couldn't get invitations and wanted to be in the limelight would appear on the red carpet by following celebrities, sponsoring, or even brokering companies and media. , if other actresses walk slowly on this short red carpet, these women who have no works shortlisted, no invitation from the organizer, and the broadcaster will not even give them the camera, will be completely within one foot or even one inch. Move, I wish I could finish walking in half an hour.
Many times when you are on the red carpet, you are criticized and ridiculed, and it becomes synonymous with shamelessness.
But in fact, the entertainment industry is a strange circle.
If you want to be successful in the entertainment industry, thick skin is the basic requirement, but the face of these people is definitely thicker than those on the bright red carpet.
They not only have to attend the red carpet, but also prepare their own team, because these people have no value to the real big media and well-known reporters, and the film used on them is simply a waste.
This year's Oscars have attracted special attention, so naturally the value of admission tickets has also increased. After all, attention means popularity, more reports, and more topics.
Therefore, those companies that specialize in this kind of admission tickets can be said to first thank Li Yi and his two movies for driving up the price of admission tickets.
Yes, Oscar tickets, as we all know here in North America, are clearly priced.
Of course, the quantity is definitely limited.
At the same time, the red carpet officially began. Male celebrities in formal attire walked through the red carpet. Many of these male celebrities were well-known celebrities. They basically walked at a normal speed. In contrast, all of them looked gorgeous. When female celebrities walk on the red carpet, they are extremely slow and can wait a little longer.
At this moment, a black RV stopped, and a typical Chinese-looking man with black hair and black eyes, wearing a dark dress, got out of the car.
"Ah! It's the Chinese Miracle Director! Li!"
When the media reporters and photographers heard the sound, they immediately threw away the few female celebrities who were still lingering on the red carpet, and dozens of camera lenses turned to the front of the red carpet.
These cameramen were as excited as if they had met a top star. In fact, it is no wonder, because in the past few months, Li Yi, a man from China who is hailed as a miracle director by Hollywood fans and the media, has always been The focus of public opinion, even though Li Yi himself rarely appears in front of the camera.
However, with two movies and more than a dozen nominations, plus the fact that Li Yi can be said to be the most successful Chinese director in Hollywood, and because of the public opinion during this period, he attracted the most attention in the first place.
However, Li Yi did not bring a female companion this time. Although Dean Pictures allowed Li Yi to choose by himself. If there is no suitable one, Li Yi can just put it forward, no matter who it is, but Li Yi In the end, I chose to go alone.
There is no way that "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Untouchables" are both men's dramas. Although there are female characters in them, they are not important roles, so Li Yi simply didn't take them.
In fact, it is not that no one contacted Li Yi through some channels, hoping to accompany him on the red carpet, but Li Yi rejected them all.
Even though there were hints of this and that, Li Yi was not interested at all.
"Why didn't he bring a female companion?" a reporter asked.
"Neither 'The Shawshank Redemption' nor 'The Untouchables' have any important female characters, so it's normal that he didn't bring a female companion!"
"What a pity! Those Bi Chi believe that their eyes are about to fall out, he is so awesome!"
"Yes, Miracle Director, he lives up to his name. Someone on the Internet has taken stock of all his works. What's shocking is that none of them have failed, and all of them are huge successes. The name Miracle is true!"
"The key is that he can bring people surprise and freshness, and he has a strong desire to create. The Oscar should award him an award!"
In fact, even if Li Yi is not nominated for a movie, he will almost always receive an invitation. Unfortunately, he usually has no intention at all. For the opportunity that many people dream of, for him now, it is really just that.
As the director of tonight's most popular film, he was of course the focus of media attention. As soon as he entered the interview area, a reporter from the live broadcaster ABC TV station ran over.
"Director Li, are you confident about winning the award tonight?"
This question is considered a very common one.
Li Yi's answer was naturally very conventional: "I think we should be able to take away a few statuettes."
After all, with two movies and more than a dozen nominations, the Oscars have gained more attention and exposure. Coupled with the influence of the Dean Group, Li Yi believes that even if the Oscars come, they will not dare to risk the world's disapproval. , which really left him empty-handed.
In fact, Oscar is really not that important to Li Yi, but is Li Yi important to Oscar?
This depends on the old guys at Oscar.
At least at this stage, in terms of the attention and influence of this year's Oscars, Li Yi is very important to the Oscars.
Although the Oscars are often upset, it actually depends on the situation.
Otherwise, do you really think that the pressure of public opinion does not matter to the Oscars?
After quickly answering the reporter's questions in a routine manner, Li Yi walked into the music center and found people from the two crews of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Intouchables". After greeting everyone, he sat down. .
"Here is a report from ABC TV station from the Los Angeles Music Center. The Oscars are about to kick off. Who will be the biggest winner tonight? Let's wait and see!" This was followed by the predictions of some well-known film critics.
Of course, these predictions only add some fun to the Oscars, and they will not affect the attribution of Oscar awards.
However, Li Yihuaguo's identity as director still has a certain influence.
When Wright, a famous North American film critic invited by reporters, was asked this question, he smiled and said: "I think "The Untouchables" will win the best picture, and China's "Miracle Boy" will miss the best director award. , he is still very young and there is still room for improvement in the future.”
Many film critics have expressed a tendency that Li Yi's film can win the best picture, and even the best actor and supporting actor, but it will definitely not win the best director!
Although many people think that the best picture is the highest award of the Oscars, it is indeed true, but for individuals, especially for directors, the best director is undoubtedly the best and most important award.
In fact, I don’t blame them for thinking so. It’s really because if Li Yi wins the Oscar for Best Director, then he will really break the record, because he won the Best Picture, but the Best Director award, although there is a Chinese director. I have been there, but no Chinese director has ever received it.
In other words, many foreign directors, such as Kangaroo Country, Eagle Country, and French directors have won it, but only Chinese directors have never won this award.
"Just because he is Chinese, he can't win the best director? What kind of bullshit is this?"
"Haha, this is Hollywood, this is the Oscars! Unless he is naturalized, otherwise, it will be difficult!"
"Miracle directors can create miracles, I firmly believe that!"
Some netizens have been discussing this topic on the Internet for a long time.
The reaction from domestic movie fans was even more intense.
"If he still can't get two nominations this time, then Li Yi can completely announce his withdrawal from the Oscars and give Ya a slap in the face!"
"Li Yi is not that important to Oscar, right?"
"Haha, if it hadn't been for Li Yi, I wouldn't have watched the Oscars at all, and the Oscar broadcast rights wouldn't have been sold at such a high price!"
"That is, if Li Yi does not win the Oscar for Best Director, then I can announce that I will never watch the Oscars again. Because this is bullshit!"
In fact, although many movie fans and netizens in China have the impression that the Oscars are the most authoritative film awards in the world, it is not necessarily true that they really care.
But Li Yi is different. This time, Li Yi can be said to represent not only himself, but Chinese filmmakers.
For many Chinese, him winning the award can be regarded as an honor.
The key is that there really isn’t any particularly powerful opponent this year. “The Shawshank Redemption” and “The Untouchables” are two super-reputable movies with ratings exceeding 9 points. If they can’t win the Best Director, they will definitely. It will make public opinion noisy.
Soon, the main dishes began to be served.
The award ceremony officially began, and the awards were awarded one by one.
The awards presented earlier are not important awards, but more technical awards, which have nothing to do with Li Yi's two movies.
After all, neither "The Shawshank Redemption" nor "The Untouchables" were nominated in this area.
Then, the awards for Best Original Screenplay began.
"Winning Best Original Screenplay is."
On the big screen, clips from several nominated films began to appear.
"The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Untouchables" are among them.
The first scene is when Andy climbs out of the sewer and stands in the rain.
The audience burst into warm applause, not only for this movie, but also for this picture, and for freedom!
Then came The Intouchables and other movies.
"The Shawshank Redemption, Yi Lee! Congratulations!"
Li Yi hugged the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption" around him and then walked onto the stage.
However, he didn't say much this time. This award may be important, but in fact it doesn't carry that much weight.
And Li Yi had won this award earlier.
So Li Yi just thanked him in a routine manner and then left.
Soon the follow-up awards began to be awarded, and "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Intouchables" won a Best Supporting Actor and a Best Score respectively.
Then came the Best Actor award, which was won by Daniel, the black actor in "The Intouchables"!
This result is not surprising, but it also makes many Chinese movie fans uncontrollably nervous.
"Damn it, why do I feel a little bad?"
"Who says it's not the case? Generally speaking, Oscars are divided into categories. One of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Untouchables" won the Best Supporting Actor, and the other won the Best Actor. How do I feel that this is the Oscar? Routine?"
"Yeah, use awards to silence the media, and then split the best director!"
“It feels like it’s really possible!”
In fact, there are more than one or two people who think this way, many people think so.
Nothing else, because there is nothing wrong with these two movies themselves, and it is normal for them to win awards. After all, the main actors in them are all from Hollywood and North America.
But only director Li Yi is an out-and-out Chinese.
Naturally, those who are nominated also hope to win awards, and Li Yi is no exception. Although the Oscar is not that important to him, he certainly does not want the Oscar to be used as a stepping stone.
Finally, it’s time for the Best Director award!
Li Yi was inevitably worried about gains and losses.
