The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 239 Best Foreign Language Film

? Every Oscar awards ceremony is a long torment. The rhythm is too slow for the onlookers, and it needs to wait for the winners, but there are still more than 30 million viewers and countless film practitioners every year, willing to suffer painfully go down.

More importantly, at the Oscars, a female star who can't control her shit is definitely not a good actress.

Those gorgeous long dresses, as well as close-fitting short dresses, which can be put on and off by one person, are guaranteed to make actresses doubt their lives.

From two or three o'clock in the afternoon to the end of the awards ceremony, not eating, drinking, or peeing is the most basic requirement for a female star to participate in the Oscars.

The vast majority of people who can't help it, usually seldom come back after leaving.

The red carpet show is a paradise for female stars. This heaven and hell are only one step away. It is normal to prepare a week in advance. There are many people who pay attention to intestinal problems half a month in advance.

It was Ronan's first time participating in a three-and-a-half-hour program. He was really inexperienced. He went out twice in the middle. Fortunately, he was a man and his clothes were simple, so he didn't have so much trouble.

However, every time he came back, Ronan would find that his seat was occupied.

Seeing Ronan, the quiet girl who occupied the seat hurriedly gave up her seat and left. Ronan nodded slightly to her and returned to his seat.

Of course, this person didn't come to poach Angela Lindwall's corner while he was gone, but a temporary audience specially prepared by the organizer of the awards ceremony.

Because award presenters often need to leave their seats, and some people go to the toilet or go to the lobby bar and don’t return on time during commercials, it would be unsightly for the camera to scan the auditorium at that time, so “temporary workers” have to fill in the vacant seats at any time.

Of course, they are not allowed to talk to the stars around them.

For this kind of awards ceremony, the organizers always claim that tickets are hard to come by, and there are empty seats, which is not good visually.

The Oscar Awards Ceremony has been held for more than 70 sessions, and many details have been considered quite comprehensively.

You should prepare ahead of time next time. Angela Lindwall said in a low voice: Next time you come to the awards ceremony, I will make a schedule for you in advance.

Ronan smiled, and casually replied, Let's talk about it next time.

Angela Lindwall said slightly dissatisfied: You,

I don't take such an important award ceremony seriously.

Have you? Ronan said innocently, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon won the award, and I am the happiest one.

Angela Lindwald said: Three Oscar statuettes, how long until the best foreign language film?

Ronan glanced at the stage: This is about to begin.

Among the previous series of technical awards, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has won three statuettes, namely Best Cinematography, Best Soundtrack and Best Art Direction.

This is also a surprise.

But it also made Ronan a little worried. Could this be a consolation prize?

Oscar has done this more than once.

Eleven nominations and a few technical awards as a consolation are considered good, and they are definitely not in the ranks of misery. It is said that The Shawshank Redemption got zero out of ten mentions.

Juliette Binoche and Anthony Hopkins took to the stage.

The five films nominated for Best Foreign Language Film are diverse, said Juliette Binoche.

Anthony Hopkins said: And very famous in the world.

He and Juliette Binoche stepped aside at the same time, letting go of the big screen behind them: The nominees for the best foreign language film are...

The big screen took over the work of introduction and began to play the titles and images of the five nominated films: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon from the East, directed by Ang Lee; Parted Ways from the Czech Republic, directed by Jan Houbrey grams; Mexico's Love is a bitch, directed by Alejandro Inarritdo; France's Other Taste; Belgium's Everybody's Famous.

Luo Nan looked around, Xu Ligong was the most nervous, holding his thigh tightly with one hand; Li An always had a decent smile on his face, but one leg was moving around.

To be honest, this kind of lack of tension at this moment must be false.

Because a heavyweight Oscar statuette means too much.

Ronan unconsciously coughed in a low voice, and was also a little nervous. After all, he had invested so much time, energy and resources, so he naturally wanted to get the best results.

The Best Foreign Language Film Statue not only means a lot of money for him, but also increases his confidence, and he will continue to participate in this Oscar game in the future.

Angela Lindelwald grabbed Ronan's hand and whispered, Don't be nervous, I'll be with you.

Lorna couldn't help laughing, is it so obvious?

Juliette Binoche quickly typed the envelope with quick hands and feet. Regardless of the curious eyes of Anthony Hopkins next to her, she pulled out the card and read: The winner is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

Year!

Ronan clearly heard Xu Ligong's excited voice.

The applause sounded, and Angela Lindelwald opened her arms to hug Ronan, only to find that Ronan had stood up and turned around, hugging and celebrating with Ang Lee.

Angela Lindelwald frowned slightly, noticing that the camera had turned around. Years of training had already formed a conditioned reflex, so she immediately put on a decent smile and applauded in congratulation.

Luo Nan hugged Li An first, and then gave Xu Ligong a high-five to celebrate.

No matter how much the two parties have thought about business before, at least at this moment, their positions are the same, and they are all excited for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to win the award.

Ang Lee walked onto the stage to the sound of music, took the Oscar statuette from Anthony Hopkins, stood in front of the microphone, and... took out a small note.

Probably because he was too excited, Li An turned over the folded note twice but failed to open it.

Thank you to the Academy. Ang Lee gave a very standard acceptance speech, reading from a note: Thank you to the Academy for recognizing the Chinese film, and I also thank my partner Xu Ligong, as well as the powerful and talented actors in this film and all the staff who have contributed to this film.

He glanced at the note again: I would also like to thank Mr. Ronan Anderson of Embassy Pictures for bringing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to North America.

The live TV camera turned to Ronan at this time, and Ronan smiled and nodded.

Ang Lee is still thanking: Thank you to all the people in the embassy film industry who have worked hard for the release of this film. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, son, my mother and other family members, as well as all the Chinese in the three places on both sides of the strait!

The audience applauded thunderously.

This is the most important award for a Chinese-language film in the Oscars.

Although there was no scene of a standing ovation, the applause was warm enough.

And for Ang Lee, his career peak is far from coming.

In this day and age, it's not too common to see a standing tribute.

In the early years, at award ceremonies, people of high esteem had to be on stage to receive this treatment. Thinking back to the time when Chaplin stepped out from behind the raised screen and got a standing ovation from the audience, it can be said to be quite a touching scene.

This can also be regarded as the true expression of Oscar's rare atmosphere.

Later, Oscar degenerated to relying on actresses to step on skirts and wrestle to create true feelings, and continued as jokes in the second year.

After Ang Lee left the stage, a temporary audience came to fill his seat. The awards ceremony had come to the end, and Ang Lee probably didn't have time to return to the auditorium.

After the winners go to the backstage, they will accept routine interviews, and the statuettes will also be engraved with the awards they have won.

Before the awards, all the statuettes are the same. The Oscar tradition is to engrave the names after the statuettes are awarded.

There is also a base, which will be given after the awards are presented.

The awards were still going on, and Ronan's excitement and excitement gradually calmed down, and he began to figure out how to maximize the benefits of this best foreign language film.

The last few awards were awarded one by one. Russell Crowe defeated many competitors including Tom Hanks and won the best actor crown. Gladiator is indeed a masterpiece.

Ridley Scott has accumulated five or six years of character, all of which are used in this film.

According to Ronan's memory, Ridley Scott is about to start a new round of character-saving journey.

Best Actress was won by Julia Roberts, as Ronan remembered.

The film Never Compromise not only allowed Julia Roberts to win the coveted Oscar, but also made Hollywood the first time to have a female 20 million club member.

To be precise, Julia Roberts won the Best Actress not with this film, but with all the films she took on in the past ten years.

This is the best heroine obtained through accumulation.

The latter two awards have undoubtedly revealed the side of this year's Oscars.

Steven Soderbergh won Best Director for Internet and Best Picture for Gladiator.

Spielberg's DreamWorks Pictures has achieved a rare double best-picture Oscar win after last year's American Beauty.

For a time, DreamWorks had a bright future.

It's a pity that only Spielberg understands the discomfort of DreamWorks.

If everything goes as Ronan remembers, DreamWorks' A Beautiful Mind will be the next Best Picture winner.

DreamWorks will achieve three consecutive best picture Oscar achievements!

But the three Oscars for Best Picture could not save the decline of DreamWorks.

The Oscar effect is strong, but not enough to save a major studio.

That wraps up the awards ceremony, with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon winning four Oscars and arguably the winner of the night.

The crew headed straight to the Beverly Hills Hilton for the Oscar Night party hosted by Vanity Fair.

Ronan didn't go, and took Angela Lindelwald back to the Four Seasons Hotel. Angela Lindelwald couldn't stay in Los Angeles for a few days, and the two of them had limited time and could not be wasted.

The Oscar strategy has been achieved. How can going to a party to eat and drink be compared to being alone with a beauty?

Ronan rides his horse and shines his sword, crossing mountains, crossing snowfields, and piercing forests, vowing to shake the abyss with his sword, and smashing the bandit's nest will definitely turn it upside down!

Angela Lindelwald fought with all her strength and vowed to bury the mountain sculpture in the mountain stream...
