Chapter 426 New Era
"Hunting" won a lottery, which made the crew feel half relieved.

After the best photography, the best foreign language film, best animated feature film, best supporting actor and so on have nothing to do with the "Hunting" crew.

Until the screenplay award is presented.

"Everyone welcomes the real girl with the dragon tattoo, Angelina Jolie." The host announced that the following two script awards will be presented by Jolie on stage.

There was warm applause from the audience.

Jolie strode onto the stage in a high-fork black dress, standing on the stage with her hips akimbo showing her thighs.

The whole person is elegant and elegant.

"She's so beautiful." Liu Yifei envied Julie while applauding.

At this time, Julie was standing on the stage grinning loudly. She was a very healthy and confident beauty, which was really likable.

"Everyone thinks that the work of a screenwriter is very simple. The better the screenwriter, the easier the job. When adapting a script, when adapting the story to match the big screen, the screenwriter must retain the essence of the original work and give his own creative inspiration. The following Nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay."

The finalists include four adaptations of "The Descendants", "Hugo", "The President's Killing Bureau" and "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy".

Jolie opened the golden envelope: "The Oscar winners are...Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon, Jim Rush, Descendants."

The three of them came to the stage to accept the award and expressed their thanks: "...Mom, this trophy is dedicated to you. Thank you for letting me watch movies instead of going to kindergarten."

The trio stepped down and Jolie started to present Best Original Screenplay.

"Here are 6 unforgettable original screenplays that are imaginative, unique, and refreshing. Nominees for best original screenplay include..."

"The Artist, Michael Hazanavicius."

"Bridesmaids, Kristen Wiig, Anne Mumolo."

"Shang Hai Tong Ultimatum, J.C. Chendor."

""Hunting", Cheng Yu'an."

"Midnight in Paris, Woody Allen."

"A Separation, Asghar Farhadi."

After the shortlisted films were introduced, the camera cut back to the scene, and Julie kept laughing while watching the audience, but did not announce the winners.

At the scene, Cheng Yu'an held Liu Yifei's hand tightly.

Domestically, the palms of those who watched the ceremony began to sweat.

Julie opened the envelope: "The Oscar winner is Woody Allen for Midnight in Paris."

However, Woody Allen has never attended the Oscars except for 2002, and did not arrange for someone to accept the trophy on his behalf. Julie announced as usual: "The organizing committee congratulates Woody Allen and will keep the trophy on his behalf. Thank you everyone .”

Movie bloggers such as Weibo Movies immediately announced cutting-edge news in the form of pictures and texts: "#第84届奥斯汀金图奖#Woody Allen won the Best Original Screenplay Award for "Midnight Paris", Cheng Yuan's "Hunting "Unfortunately lost."

Liu Yifei patted the back of Cheng Yu'an's hand lightly: "It's okay, it's just a screenwriting award. There will be best director and best film after that."

After a while, Michael Douglas, a veteran actor in Hollywood, came to the stage to present the best director. The handsome guy started telling jokes on stage:

"Oscar-winning director Leon McCarey once went to the bank and wanted to get a loan for his new film. The banker wanted to test his details, so he said to him, I know the cameraman is in charge of filming. Yes, the actor is responsible for playing the role well, and the screenwriter is responsible for writing the script, so what exactly does the director do? Leon thought about it, and then changed to another bank."

This joke is a good reverse, at least Cheng Yu'an was amused.

"In fact, the presentation of every frame of the movie depends on the director's careful conception. Today, there are six such well-conceived films that have been nominated as exemplary masterpieces. The nominees for best director are..."

The big screen scrolled through the nominated film information.

Among the six nominated directors, Cheng Yu'an is the youngest at 30 years old, and the second youngest is "The Artist" director Michael Hazanavicius, who is 15 years older than him.

Liu Yifei held Cheng Yu'an's hand tightly, and watched Douglas on the stage open the envelope without blinking: "The Oscar winner is "Jagten", Cheng."

The audience applauded thunderously!

The domestic audience watching the live broadcast instantly exploded.

"Fuck!" All four people in the live broadcast room stood up, and Xu Shanzheng shouted, "You really won the prize?!"

"my country's excellent director Cheng Yu'an's movie "Hunting" successfully won the best director of #84th年达金图奖#, becoming the first mainland director to win the Oscar for Best Director."

"A new era! Cheng Yu'an won the Oscar for Best Director!"

Meanwhile, the remote interior.

"I can't do it anymore, I can't change my mind. Tell me to hit me, am I dreaming?"

"Why don't you hit yourself."

"It hurts to beat yourself."

In the Highland Center, the crew of "The Hunt" is also unbelievable.

Cheng Yu'an hugged Liu Yifei and kissed her deeply.

After hugging with Roger and others, he went on stage to take the statuette from Douglas.

On the wind vane in front, Cheng Yu'an said all the acceptance speeches he could think of, but now he was on stage and didn't know what to say:

"Thank you, thank you Academy for giving me the Oscar. But I'm sorry, I can't remember the acceptance speech. I think I'm the happiest director in the world now, and I want to thank everyone on my crew, thank you to my producers Sarah, thank you Fox Searchlight, the global distributor of "The Hunt". Of course, I still want to thank Ms. Liu Yifei for her company and support."

"I would also like to thank the Beijing Film Academy for teaching me, and my teacher Professor Hou Keming at the Film Academy." After switching to Chinese, he posed his trophy to the camera and said, "Mr. Hou, did you see that? Oscar."

"Thank you, thank you all."

After Cheng Yu'an finished speaking, she bowed slightly, and went backstage with Miss Manners and Douglas.

There are still a few awards to be presented later, and I have about ten minutes to do a backstage interview with Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yu'an followed the domestic reporters first.

"I'm in a daze right now, I don't remember what I said on stage just now." Cheng Yu'an said with a smile when facing the movie channel's interview.

"Happy, I have no other thoughts but to be happy."

"New film? There is no plan for the new film yet. I want to rest for a few days. I am too nervous for the Oscars."

Before he could say a few words, the staff urged him to go back to the front desk.

The best picture is about to open, and "The Hunt" is also shortlisted. If the award-winning director is not around, it will be ugly.

"That's it, let's talk when we return to China." It was still easy for the movie channel to ask Cheng Yu'an for an interview.

Cheng Yu'an returned to the front desk with the trophy, and the best actor awarded earlier was indeed awarded to "The Artist".

"Are you crying?" Cheng Yu'an saw that there were obvious signs of crying on Liu Yifei's face, "It's a good thing, there's nothing to cry about."

"I know, but I just can't help it." Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose, she felt better after crying, Tom Hanks came out and presented the last best picture, the lady asked him, "Is there any hope for us? "

Cheng Yu'an took her hand and kissed it lightly, and said with a smile: "As a non-white person and a non-Hollywood director, I'm already the unpopular among the unpopular to get the best director, just think about the best picture."

After winning the best director, Cheng Yu'an's personal glory has been filled: Venice best director + best picture, plus Oscar for best director, among the living Chinese film directors, only Li An has won more international awards than himself.

Zhang Yimou has more top three players in Europe than himself, but his Golden Globe and Oscar are enough to bridge the gap.

"What if." Liu Yifei looked at Tom Hanks on the stage.

　Originally, I didn't want to give a prize, but after thinking about it, I still have to give it.
