Chapter 362 Oscar
But Ferguson immediately regretted it because he saw the players who had already thanked the fans and were returning to him, and soon surrounded him. Then, no one shouted: "Pick him up!!"
Several people bowed and crawled under Ferguson and lifted him up.
The old man was like a small boat in the turbulent waves, which could be overturned at any time.
He gritted his teeth and refused to let himself scream.
Then he felt the world spinning - he was thrown up by the excited players.
"oh--!!"
"oh--!!"
"oh--!!!"
Every time the players threw, the players shouted excitedly. At this time, they didn't care how majestic the old man was in normal times. During this celebration, the old man would definitely not blame them for this.
It is precisely because Ferguson is too strict with them in normal times, and they dare not complain about the old man that now that they have such an opportunity to "revenge", they naturally have to seize it.
Not only them, but also Manchester United fans in the stands were shouting with them.
Ferguson cursed in his heart: "Damn! I will set a rule next time, and I will not be allowed to leave people to celebrate like this!"
But everyone below laughed: "Enjoy it, jazz! It's what you deserve!"
Jiang Feng, who was in the box, saw the players taking this opportunity to toss a man in his sixties, making them unable to resist, and couldn't help laughing.
Not only Jiang Feng laughed, but Cheryl, Prince William and Beeltris also laughed. Because when the old man was thrown up by the players, his panicked look made them see that this old man who usually looks extremely serious has such a cute side.
However, after watching the League Cup final, Jiang Feng did not hold a party with the players to celebrate, but flew directly to the United States.
On February 29, US time this year, that is, March 1, Beijing time, the 76th Academy Awards will be held at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, and the fantasy masterpiece "Myth" filmed by Jiangshi Entertainment (formerly Phoenix Film and Television) will officially compete for this year's Oscars.
"Myth"'s global box office performance exceeded Jiang Feng's expectations. Since its global release in mid-September last year, it has achieved unprecedented success in both domestic and foreign countries in the past few months.
As of January 5, 2004, "Myth" achieved a box office of 320 million in China, refreshing the Hero, directed by the famous director Zhang Yimou a year ago.
It was released in North America in September 2003 and won the box office championship for four consecutive weeks, and also topped the box office in Japan, South Korea and other places. As of January 5, 2004, the global box office reached 188 million US dollars. In 2003, when good movies emerged in large numbers, this data was also very considerable, second only to Finding Nemo (333 million), Pirates of the Caribbean (298 million), The Matrix 2: Reloading (280 million), The Fake God (241 million), The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: The King's Come Again (222 million), X-Men 2 (215 million), ranking seventh.
In the 76th Academy Awards selection that began on the afternoon of February 29, local time in Los Angeles, "Myth" won nominations for seven major awards including "Best Actress", "Best Photography", "Best Clothing Design", "Best Visual Effects", "Best Cutting", "Best Makeup", and "Best Foreign Language Film", second only to "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Return of the King", which received 11 nominations.
After the organizer announced the nomination list in January, this news caused a lot of shock. At that time, Phoenix Film and Television Company also attracted the attention of media around the world. Of course, they also dug up the news that Jiang Feng was the boss behind Phoenix Film and Television.
These news has long shocked the American film and television industry, and its qualification to run has been controversial. After all, this "Myth" is just a foreign language film. Even if it can compete, it should compete for the best foreign language film, rather than the seven award nominations.
But "Myth" has the qualification to participate in the Academy Awards and has won seven major awards, which has to be said to be extremely interesting. However, if you want to explain this, it has to be related to the origin of the Academy Awards.
Originally, the "Oscars" was a film award organized by the "American Film Academy" in the United States. Its official name was actually the "American Film Academy Award". Later, someone said that the man in this award looked very much like his uncle "Oscar". Therefore, the alias "Oscar" was officially established later. Until now, its official name is unknown. But then again, the alias is an alias after all, and the American Film Academy has never officially recognized the name "Oscar".
Therefore, the "Oscar" award was only awarded to domestic films in the United States, and was a pure domestic film award. Later, although films from other countries were allowed to participate in the 12th session, they were only allowed to participate in the "Best Foreign Language Film" award. Therefore, it is still not international and cannot be regarded as an international film award, but only a national award in the United States. It is only because the United States is the most developed country in the world and the film industry is popular in Hollywood. The "Oscars" have become a festival for global movie fans.
Being nominated for seven major awards, even if it is just nominations, it really seems like creating a myth for "Myth". During that period, both at home and abroad, Phoenix Film and Television was the focus of everyone's attention.
However, at Jiang Feng's request, although several senior executives of Phoenix Film and Television were very excited, Phoenix Film and Television still performed very low-key. Because Jiang Feng knew very well that although "Myth" was nominated for seven major awards, there were definitely very few who could gain in the competition for these awards, and even in the end they might not win.
"Myth" is indeed very good at market response, but the Oscar selection is definitely not measured by the market. Jiang Feng, as the rebirth, is very clear about this. The style of Oscar-nominated actors and movies is always influenced by historical and political factors.
As a powerful media, the ruling elites always recognize their strategic position. The closest relationship between Oscars and politics was when McCarthyism was rampant in the 1950s. The most prominent example of this is Charlie Chaplin. Relatively speaking, documentaries and foreign language films reveal their political tendencies more clearly than mainstream American films. If you examine such films with a special rule, those foreign films that have been nominated are politicized ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which seems to have nothing to do with politics, is actually not exempt from the vulgarity). Whether the academy likes it or not, since the film itself is a political media, Oscars and politics can never be separated.
In the process of Oscar competition, historical and political factors always affect the type and expressiveness of the film. That is to say, in determining the belonging of the Oscars, the social environment, the spirit of the times and the theme are more important than the artistic content of the film itself.
In this regard, "Myth" itself is in an extremely disadvantageous position.
Another objective reason is that the competition for this year's Oscars is too fierce. In the past 2003, the number of high-quality films released far exceeded that of other years. Whether it is "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Return of the King", "The Matrix 2: Reloading", or "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Myth" has no advantage in facing their competition. Among all the nominated awards, perhaps only the nomination for "Best Foreign Language Film" is a little more reliable.
When Jiang Feng arrived in Los Angeles, it was already 2 pm Los Angeles time. In another hour, the red carpet ceremony of this year's "Oscars" awards ceremony was about to begin.
Fortunately, before Jiang Feng arrived, the personnel attending the award ceremony of Jiangshi Entertainment had arrived in Los Angeles.
The award ceremony was attended by Ye Lanqiu and Chen Xiaowei. Chen Xiaowei was represented by Jiang Entertainment, while Ye Lanqiu was the nominee for the Best Actress of the Year. She will participate in the competition with Diana Keaton ("Love is a Compromise"), Samantha Morton ("New American Dream"), Sally Seron ("Female Devil"), and Naomi Watz ("21g").
When Jiang Feng brought Ye Lanqiu and Chen Xiaowei to the award ceremony, the ceremony had already begun. Fortunately, Phoenix Film and Television's red carpet was located in a relatively backward position, so it was not missed.
The Kodak Theatre is located on Hollywood Avenue in Hollywood, California. It was launched in 2001 and became the venue for the Academy Awards Ceremony. It has been the permanent venue for the Academy Awards Ceremony since 2002.
There is a 120-foot-wide and 75-foot-deep stage in the middle of the Kodak Theater, which is the largest stage in the United States. It can be said that the Kodak Theater is a theater tailor-made for the Academy Awards. In this Kodak Theater, it can accommodate a total of 3,400 spectators. Today, these 3,400 seats will be filled with superstars from all over the world and those who have made outstanding contributions to the film industry.
Although tonight is an Academy Awards ceremony, it is also a place for major fashion brands to compete for beauty. Almost the main designers of major fashion brands will come to the scene. Of course, some will attend tonight's awards ceremony, while others will not attend. It depends entirely on personal wishes.
A flash flashed by. Many reporters were quite surprised by Ye Lanqiu's appearance. This pretty beauty is the darling in the eyes of reporters. Her sexy figure and sweet face are enough to murder any reporter's film. Especially the black evening dress tonight, which completely highlights Ye Lanqiu's sexy and charming figure. Her every move makes people linger and infinitely fascinated. As soon as she appeared in front of everyone, she attracted the attention of all the media. Jiang Feng and Chen Xiaowei around her were not paid much attention. (To be continued.
