Chapter 425
China attaches great importance to this year's Oscars.

Tudou Video and 1905 Movie Network live broadcast the whole process, with guest comments outside.

"The Hunt" received five nominations, as long as it does not take the best actor and best cinematography, the remaining three awards: best picture, best director, and best original screenplay.

As long as Cheng Yu'an can get one, he will create the history of Chinese films.

Tudou Video even invited Professor Hou Keming, Cheng Yuan's mentor, to the live broadcast room.

"He specially came to see me before leaving." Hou Keming sat opposite the host Liu Yan, "He said that "Hunting" may be his only foreign language film, and he will only make Chinese films in the future."

Liu Yan answered, "So this year is probably the closest year for Cheng Dao to the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director?"

"Yes." Hou Keming nodded, but then added, "If he wants to win an Oscar in the future, he can only win the Best Foreign Language Film."

Xu Shan, who was also a guest, asked Hou Keming: "Mr. Hou, can't the best foreign language film win the best film and best director?"

Hou Keming said: "The Oscars do not have such a rule. In theory, foreign language films can also be shortlisted for other awards, but until now there has been no film that can win both the best foreign language film and the best picture or best director."

Yang Mi, as another guest of the Oscar live broadcast, also spoke at the right time: "Who do you think is the biggest opponent of Cheng Dao this year?"

Xu Shan said: "I like Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris". I think he will be a strong contender for the best director and best picture."

Hou Keming expressed his opinion: "I like Old Martin's "Hugo"."

The host Liu Yan also said: "Alexander Payne's "Descendants" is also a big hit this time."

Yang Mi said with a smile: "When Director Cheng gave us an analysis in the company, he said that "The Artist" is the biggest opponent of "Hunting"."

Liu Yan promptly added the homework she had done: "From the previous weathervane awards, it is indeed the case. "The Artist" is almost half-divided with "Hunting", and it won the most important director's union award."

Hou Keming frowned and commented on "The Artist": "I don't like movies like "The Artist". Well, some things are outdated now.

"And "The Artist" is not particularly eye-catching in terms of storyline or directorial skills. But his performance in the vane has to make people worry about how the group of 70-[-]-year-old judges will choose. "

Hou Keming's words appeared on Weibo in text form at that time.

When some netizens interpreted this passage, they thought: "Professor Hou is complaining for his disciples.

"Cheng Yu'an is his most proud student, but the three gold medals in Chinese language, including Golden Rooster, have never given Cheng Yu'an's film a favor. Mr. Hou's criticism of "The Artist" may not be the old man who controls the three gold awards. "

The four chatted about movies while watching the red carpet in the live broadcast room.

"Tom Cruise is here." Liu Yan introduced, "Mission: Impossible 4 starring Cruise last year sold more than 6 million US dollars worldwide. It was released in China during the Spring Festival and has been leading the Spring Festival. Exceeded 6 million yuan."

Yang Mi added a question very slyly: "Is this kind of achievement considered top-notch in Hollywood?"

The other three people all got to Yang Mi's point, Xu Shanzheng was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Brother Ah Tang is of course the first line."

The reason is that before Zhang Weiping chose the leading actor in "Thirteen Hairpins", he said that he would invite top Hollywood names. Someone recommended Cruise to him, but he was mercilessly mocked by Zhang Weiping: "Tom Cruise? He is no longer in Hollywood. It's on the line!"

"Here we come. Director Cheng and Yifei are here." Liu Yan shouted.

The 600-meter red carpet in front of the Highland Center (Kodak went bankrupt and the naming rights were sold) is one of the highlights of this year's Oscar reform-they are jealous of the ability to absorb money from the Cannes red carpet.

As the biggest hit of this year's Oscars, the crew of "The Hunt" received a grand welcome.

Cheng Yu'an held Liu Yifei's hand and led Liu Xiaoli and Guo Fei onto the red carpet.

Cheng Yu'an offered two extra tickets, but his two grandfathers didn't want to come, so they gave one ticket each to the mother-in-law and the company.

Make a familiar face, feel the atmosphere of Oscar, not shabby.

With serious admission tickets, it cannot be said to be rubbing the red carpet.

Liu Yan also explained in the live broadcast room: "Yi Fei and Aunt Liu went as family members of the nominees. According to Oscar's invoice rules, each nominee will get two tickets. The crew of "Hunting" is very popular. It’s perfectly normal to go with relatives and friends. As the publisher and main investor of “Hunting” in China, it’s no surprise that Mr. Guo appeared on the red carpet.”

In the past few years, it is possible to catch fire on the red carpet, but it is shameless, so it is still necessary to explain to the audience here.

It is really tiring to walk down the 600-meter red carpet.

Liu Yifei walked around with Cheng Yuan's arm, took pictures and accepted a brief interview with the red carpet reporter.

Don't worry, no one is rushing to the red carpet for a hit like "Hunting".

First of all, domestic reporters, Cheng Yuan was asked if he was confident to win the award tonight, Cheng Yuan said: "I want to take it all, but I don't count, hehe, let's leave it to the judges."

Then they were interviewed by the red carpet host Nancy O'Dell, and they entered the theater.

The Oscar red carpet does not need to follow the crew, and the invited guests can leave as soon as they come.

Cheng Yu'an and the others came relatively late, while Matthew McConaughey and others arrived earlier.

Matthew nominated the best actor. He knew that he had little hope, so he was extra relaxed today, and he came here to refresh his face.

The two sides introduced each other and took their seats.

The crew of "Hunting" has a good seat, the third row is to the right, after all, it is very popular.

The entire awards ceremony lasted for 3 hours, with singing and dancing performances + remembering the dead, a common process all over the world.

Liu Yifei reached into Cheng Yuan's pocket and took out a chocolate bar.

She knew that Cheng Yu'an would always have something to eat in his pocket whenever he participated in such a long ceremony.

"Are you hungry?" Cheng Yuan tilted his head and said.

"In order to wear this dress, I didn't eat today." Miss sister's dress today is a high order from Dior - after the one-year contract with Tiffany expired, Liu Yifei successfully upgraded to the spokesperson of Tiffany jewelry in Greater China, clothing endorsement Signed by Dior.

The awards ceremony began soon, with Billy Crystal as the host.

After Morgan Freeman opened, Tom Hanks came up to present the first two awards of the show: Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction.

"Friends from the audience, Roger Deakins, the photographer of "The Hunt" is also shortlisted for best photography, let's see if "The Hunt" can get off to a good start." Liu Yan and others looked at Tom Hanks nervously .

"Best Cinematography is... Roger Deakins, The Hunt."

The crew of "The Hunt" was boiling, and they won a statuette for Roger when they opened the door, which was a lucky win.

The old man took the statuette on stage and said, "Thanks to my wife and children for their support of my photography career, and to Cheng for giving me "The Hunt". But Cheng, I remembered the quarrel we had before because of the camera, and I still want to pinch it." kill you."

Cheng Yuan laughed out loud in the audience.

"But I still have to say, you are a fucking genius." Roger ended with a foul, "Thank you." Then went backstage for an interview.
