Chapter 813: A Strong Rise
Zhang Yimou took a deep breath, walked onto the stage with light steps, facing the applause of the audience.
Quentin and Zhang Yimou are old acquaintances. When Zhang Yimou's hero was bought by Harvey, it was refrigerated and left in the warehouse for release. Quentin liked heroes in particular, so he kept persuading Harvey to release and allowed Miramax to promote him as a producer when promoting the hero. Under Quentin's promotion, the hero was finally released in North America after being refrigerated for nearly two years. After the movie was released, it created a miracle, winning the North American box office championship for two consecutive weeks and finally achieved a box office of 54 million US dollars.
"Congratulations!" Quentin hugged Zhang Yimou and handed over Jin Cancan's trophy.
"Thank you, Quentin!" Zhang Yimou took the trophy handed over by Quentin, held it tightly in his hand, feeling heavy.
Almodova is also a regular visitor to the three major film festivals and an old acquaintance with Zhang Yimou. He quickly sent a friendly hug, then stepped aside with Quentin and gave up the stage.
Zhang Yimou stood in front of the podium, looked at the audience in the audience, and said in extremely unfluential English: "Thank you for giving me this award. This is not my own honor, but the honor of our team. There are many people who want to thank you, and I can't say it. I would like to thank Zhang Ran here. When he gave me the script, I told him that if everyone can't say it well, it must be the responsibility of me, the director. Now that I have won this award, I have an explanation for him. In addition, I also want to thank Mr. Robert Freman of Tingfeng Entertainment, who spent a lot of effort on the promotion of the movie. I won't say much, thank you everyone!"
Zhang Yimou didn't know how to speak English. Once he didn't bring an interpreter while flying. He wanted to drink water, so he asked Zhang Weiping why he told the flight attendant that Zhang Weiping didn't know how to speak English either. He remembered that he had drunk tomato juice before, so he said to Zhang Yimou: "Fuck it's dead (toatojuie tomato juice)." Zhang Yimou also learned it. As a result, after a few hours of flight, he drank a stomach full of tomato juice.
The Oscar is an award ceremony for American films. Unlike the three majors, they can speak their own native language after they come on stage, and there will be someone who will translate it for the film festival. The Oscar has no translation, so he wrote a speech and asked his daughter to translate it into English, and he forced her to memorize it.
Because he was memorized by hard work, Zhang Yimou's English accent was particularly strong, which caused the audience to burst into laughter from time to time.
In fact, this is often the case when awarding the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Many directors are not very good at English. Last year, the best foreign language film was the Japanese film embalmer. Yojiro Takita's accent was even heavier than Zhang Yimou.
The Best Editing Award after the Best Foreign Language Film is awarded. This award seems unimportant, but it is actually very important. The belonging of editing and scripts are the two most important weather vanes of the best film, among which the script is more important.
Only the guests on the stage announced loudly: "The one who won the best edit was Bob Morasky, and Chris Innis!"
Hearing that the bomb disposal force won the best edit, Zhang Ran waved his fist, laughed and hugged Mary Hill, and hugged Neil again. The bomb disposal force had won the best original script before, and now the best editing has been won. The two most important weather vanes have won the best video.
Next are the two awards that movie fans pay the most attention to, the Best Actor and Actress, and the entire award ceremony also ushered in **.
"The winner of Best Actor is Jeff Bridges, the movie's crazy heart!"
"The winner of Best Actress is Sandra Bullock, the film's weakness!"
With the awards of the best actors and actresses one after another, warm applause and cheers rang out in the Dolby Theater.
Best Actress Sandra Brock just won the Worst Actress of the Golden Raspberry Award last night (everything about Steve), becoming the first Hollywood star in history to win two opposing awards at the Oscar and Golden Raspberry Awards.
When Sandra Brock came on stage to receive the award, he was overwhelmed with excitement: "Thank you parents for helping take care of your children when I was busy with work, thanks to the film director and the college judges, I will display the Academy Awards and the 'Golden Raspberry Award' trophy side by side at home, and listen to both good and bad."
After the applause, Barbara Streisand, the guest of the Best Director Award, walked onto the stage with an envelope.
The live camera swept to the guest seat, and the five nominated directors, Zhang Yimou, Jason Letterman, Quentin Tarantino, James Cameron, and Catherine Bigelow, all sat upright and applauded with a smile.
"The five nominees are all talented tonight, and the best director may be won by a female director for the first time!" Barbara Streisand smiled and looked at Catherine Bigelow in the stands.
The applause was extremely warm, and except for the members of the bomb disposal force crew, the female audience was cheering loudly.
"It is also possible that it belongs to a foreign language film for the first time." Barbara Streisan Wei introduced Zhang Yimou again.
The members of the crew were applauding hard, and Zhang Yimou was applauding hard, but he knew he would definitely have no chance. Rob Freeman of Peak Entertainment told him that a total of 28 directors, including him, were nominated for the Oscar for Best Director for foreign language films, but no director could have laughed to the end.
While applauding, Zhang Yimou turned his head to look at Zhang Ran. The best foreign language film in the Oscar is his highest honor, and his Oscar journey ends here. Even if he goes to the Olympics in the future, he will not be better than this time. Those who can truly rewrite the history of the Oscars and win the Best Director or even the Best Film as a Chinese director will depend on Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran is the most genius of the directors I have ever met. I believe this day will come soon!
At the same time, after Barbara Streisan finished the introduction, the big screen with the stage background showed the evaluation of the director by the crew's crew and the scenes of the director working on the crew.
Zhang Yimou is the most relaxed of the five nominated directors. Jason Retman and Quentin Tarantino knew that they had little chance and were relatively relaxed. They were smiling and waiting to watch the couple fight between Cameron and Bigelow.
Cameron looked calm and smiling, but his clenched fists betrayed his heart. Avatar was his twelve years of hard work, so he definitely didn't want to lose; Catherine Bigelow naturally didn't want to lose. Winning the Oscar can not only rewrite the history of the Oscar, but more importantly, her future film path will be much easier. At this time, she can no longer laugh and even her breathing becomes rapid.
After the introduction of the five nominees, the entire theater seemed to have been pressed for a mute button. The scene suddenly became quiet, and even the air was filled with a nervous atmosphere.
"The best director was" Barbara Streisand opened the envelope and immediately smiled. At this time, close-ups of the five directors were switched on the TV screen, and the atmosphere on the scene was extremely tense. Barbara Streisand announced loudly: "The new era is coming! Catherine Bigelow!"
Ahhhh
The whole scene was in full swing, and the audience stood up together, Katherine Bigelow applauded. The female audience at the scene was as if they had won an Oscar, applauding desperately and shouting loudly, without caring about the image of a lady at all.
It’s no wonder that the female audience was excited. In the 82-year history of the Oscar, only three women were nominated for the Best Director Award. Now Katherine Bigelow has created the history of the Oscar and became the first female director to win the Best Director, breaking the dominance of male voice.
Cameron sat directly behind Catherine Bigelow, and he felt a little disappointed, but after all, he was an old man, and the one who won the award was his ex-wife. He hugged and congratulated him with a very graceful manner, but after the hug, he showed his "tyrant nature" and pretended to pinch her.
Katherine Bigelow was so excited that he couldn't control himself, so he was dancing a little after he came on stage: "Thank you everyone, this is a very important moment in my life. Thank you for the college. If there were no screenwriters, there would be no such movie. Thank you for risking your life to write this script. Thank you for all the actors, I think the secret to making a good movie is unity and cooperation. Thank you for the efforts of all the staff, thank the producers and my partner, thank you for the warm hospitality of Pitt at the shooting location. Finally, I would like to thank Rob Freeman and Zhang Ran of Tingfeng Entertainment for publishing our movie. Thank you everyone!"
In 2008, he was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, but no one was optimistic about the movie after the premiere, and the media gave me a very average review. Although the movie won several small prizes, it was too realistic and not commercially favored, and the copyright of Europe was sold, but no company in North America was willing to release it. It was not until they brought the movie to Toronto and was spotted by Robert Freman of Tempe Entertainment that the movie was released. After watching the movie, Zhang Ran believed that the bomb disposal force was fully capable of winning the Oscar for Best Picture. Under his promotion, Tempe Entertainment decided to do its best in public relations.
Now only the final prize of Best Picture is left. Anyone who has some research on Oscars knows that the bomb disposal force that won the Best Original Screenplay and Best Edit has actually won the award.
However, there are still many Avatar supporters who refuse to give up and look forward to Cameron's ability to create miracles. After all, Avatar is the most successful movie in history, and it has played a role in promoting Hollywood and even the entire film industry. Such a movie should be praised. In addition, the bomb disposal force made a canvassing ticket in February, which has a bad impact and will soon affect the selection of the best film.
Unfortunately, the judges of the academy did not give Avatar a chance. They saw Tom Hanks unpacking the envelope and chanting loudly: "The bomb disposal force won the best video!"
The members of the bomb disposal force all stood up, celebrated wildly, cheered loudly, and the entire theater fell into a madness. The atmosphere at the scene was reached, and cheers and applause resounded throughout the sky.
Producers Mark Ball and Catherine Bigelow were surrounded by Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackay and Brian Gragiti to the stage, and the three starring actors stood behind and sang and danced. The entire theater was infected by them and turned into a sea of joy.
Mark Ball stood in front of the microphone and said excitedly: "This movie transcends our dreams. At the beginning of production, no publisher was willing to take over our movie, but we are standing here today. This feeling is very unreal. Thanks to the Academy for giving us such honors, thanks to Rob Freeman and Zhang Ran of Tsukuba Entertainment for releasing our movie! Thanks to all the actors, thanks to my mother!"
Katherine Bigelow added: "I want to thank Rob Freeman and Zhang Ran again for taking a lot of risks for this movie, and we owe them a lot!"
When Mark Ball and Catherine Bigelow lifted the Little Golden Man high, the 82nd Oscar fell to the curtain, all the awards were settled, the bomb disposal force became the ultimate winner, and Peak Entertainment also became the biggest winner of the night.
Pinfeng Entertainment tells the world with seven Oscars that a new film production company is rising strongly!
