Light and shadow player

Chapter 858
The first award was the least suspenseful, with Sam Rockwell sweeping all the Best Supporting Actor awards in Outpost.

The guest of honor was last year's Best Supporting Actress Viola Davis: "The winner is, Sam Rockwell, "Three Billboards."

Sam Rockwell excitedly hugged everyone on the crew, and quickly stepped onto the stage to take the trophy from Viola Davis: "Start the timer, Jimmy, I must get the motorboat." He took out a piece of paper and began to read his acceptance speech.

He said this after the host announced that the person with the shortest acceptance speech tonight would win a $17999 jet ski.

Sam talked about how he became attached to the film on stage: "When I was 8 years old, I was called to the principal's office, and my father told me seriously, we have to go, something happened to grandma. When we got on the bus, I Ask grandma what's wrong. He said grandma is fine, let's go to the movies. My parents' love for movies has created my love for movies, thank you mom and dad, I love you all."

Of course I have to thank the crew of "Three Billboards": "Thank you Frances McDormand (the heroine of "Three Billboards"), Francis, we won the award. Thank you Bella Cheng, you are the best Professional producer, thank you Zhang Yimou, you are the most amazing director, your shots fascinate us all..."

Finally thanked his wife, Leslie Bibb, and stepped down waving her own statuette.

Liu Yifei was still watching the live broadcast in front of the computer. Cheng Yu'an was not interested in this year's competition, so he just said to Liu Yifei, "Call me after the best director." Then he went back to his study to work.

It has been raining today, and the crew had to suspend work, which happened to give them a chance to watch the Oscars live.

While staring at the TV, Liu Yifei clutched her mobile phone and chatted with her friends about this year's Oscars.

Cheng Mufan couldn't go out, so he could only sit next to him and play with his own puzzles. When he got tired of playing, he ran around the room chasing the cat that brought the crew.

Cheng Yu'an was chatting with Mr. Zhou about the script in the study.

Most people can't persuade her, so Cheng Yu'an doesn't talk to her manager.

"Whether the script is bad or the crew is not well configured, you have to give me a reason." Cheng Yu'an gave her "The Distance Between Us and Evil", but she didn't want to accept it.

"I'm too tired, I want to take a break." Mr. Zhou simply wanted to rest, "You can find Hailu in this play, she is a mother, she can act."

"She's filming "The Old Tavern" in the second half of the year, so she doesn't have time to act in this." Cheng Yu'an said, this movie is also the highlight of the company this year, "I said you are also weird. The good book is in front of you, so you don’t want to act.”

"I really don't have the time to act," Mr. Zhou explained, "I'm going to do another play later."

"What play?" Cheng Yu'an really didn't bother to inquire about her schedule.

"Xu Haofeng's "Poetry Eyes Are Tired to the End of the World", after finishing "Hello, Zhihua", I will join the group, unless you can wait for me to start the film at the end of the year."

"That won't work." This movie is Tudou's opening drama next year. "Tudou has signed a completion guarantee, and the filming must be completed before October."

"That can't be helped. It's been September since I came out of "Poetry Eyes Tired of the World." Mr. Zhou also likes the script of "The Distance Between Us and Evil", but she really doesn't have enough time for a few years.

"Okay, I'll find someone else." If Cheng Yu'an didn't like the story himself, he wouldn't choose the role.

"Don't leave anyone else alone, aren't they just idle at home? You can find her, she can play this kind of script easily." Mr. Zhou reminded him not to take advantage of others with a good script.

"Yeah, I forgot about her, what is she doing recently?" Cheng Yu'an asked, "Forget it, you don't know if I ask you. I'll call Miss Quan myself."

After hanging up on Mr. Zhou's phone, Cheng Yu'an called Yuan Quan again, but it took a long time for someone to pick up the ring.

Liu Yifei called her daughter: "Go ask Dad to come out and watch TV."

Cheng Mufan quickly ran to smash the door of the study.

Cheng Yu'an came out with her mobile phone between her arms, and Liu Yifei said, "It's coming soon."

Cheng Yu'an nodded, and said to the phone: "Then when will you wrap up?" Yuan Quan has already joined the group "Celebrating More Than Years".

"May? Okay, there's time. Our show will start in July and finish in October. Then I'll send you the script and the contact information of the producer of our show. Okay, let's go back to Beijing." Let's talk again." Cheng Yu'an hung up Yuan Quan's phone, "It's done!"

"what?"

"'The Distance Between Us and Evil', Mr. Zhou has no schedule. I found Sister Quan, who is also good at playing this kind of professional woman." Cheng Yu'an said, and then sat down next to his wife.

On TV, Emma Stone, the last best actress, came on stage in a burgundy women's suit to present the best director award.

"This year, women's topics run through the audience, and women's rights are constantly being mentioned." Liu Yifei didn't like this.

Even Emma Stone deliberately singled out the female director when introducing the nominees for the best director: "The following four men and Greta Gerwig (director of "Lady Bird") created their A masterpiece, nominated for 'Best Director' this year."

Cheng Yuan only cares about movies.

After the nominated shorts were played, Emma Stone quickly opened the envelope and announced: "The winner is Guillermo del Toro, The Shape of Water."

"Three Billboards" regrettably lost.

Toro was excited and incoherent when he came on stage. So far, the three Mexican masters have won Oscars.

Afterwards, two legendary actresses, Jane Fonda and Helen Mirren, took the stage to present the Best Actor award. Gary Oldman won the award without being a surprise.

His performance in "Darkest Hour" is enough to serve as an acting textbook.

Jodie Foster and Jennifer Lawrence then took the stage to present Best Actress.

Big hits, of course, are "The Shape of Water" and "Three Billboards."

The competition for the best heroine this year is the most intense and suspenseful in recent years.

It can even be said that the comprehensive strength of the five actresses shortlisted this year is the strongest in the past three years.

"Winner, Frances McDormand, Three Billboards."

The audience stood up and applauded.

This is Francis's fifth nomination and her second award, and Cheng Yu'an knows that two years later, she will win her third Oscar for Best Actress.

Francis thanked the crew and family as usual on the stage. Finally, she asked all the women to stand up, delivered a speech about gender and racial equality, and then stepped off the stage, winning the screams and cheers of the audience.

The most exciting moment has come, Best Picture.

Cheng Yu'an said harshly in front of the TV: "If I don't give "Three Billboards", I will spend 2000 million US dollars in vain. When I get to the United States, I will beat up the public relations manager."

"Look carefully, don't interrupt." Liu Yifei clapped her hands.

In terms of work, we still have to watch the Oscars. The organizing committee invited the two award presenters who had trouble last year, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, to present the best picture again.

As soon as the two came out, the audience laughed out loud.

"The Oscar goes to Three Billboards," Warren Beatty announced the final results.

"Yes!" Cheng Yu'an waved his arms excitedly in front of the TV.

There was thunderous applause and cheers at the Dolby Theater!

Zhang Yimou stood up and hugged all the members of the crew, as well as people he knew or didn't know around him.

Producers such as Cheng Lingfeng also readily accepted the congratulations from everyone around them.

Led by Zhang Yimou, all the present crew members of "Three Billboards" stepped on the podium.

Zhang Yimou took the trophy, and said words of thanks in broken English: "Thank you to the Oscar Organizing Committee, thank you to my actors, everyone in my team, thank you to my family, thank you to a big film company, thank you."

Zhang Yimou felt that he was in the same mood when he directed the opening of the Olympic Games.

Cheng Lingfeng took the microphone. This was the first Best Picture Oscar for a major film company, and it was also the first Oscar she received as a producer, Zheng'er Babai.

"I want to tell all directors, if you like movies, then do it, true love is unstoppable, even if the other party is the president."

At the end of the party, Cheng Lingfeng also satirized the president's groundless accusations against her company.

There has been a lot of turmoil in the country.

The third in the mainland - Cheng Yu'an had already won the best director and best foreign language film before, and the first Oscar for best picture trophy was finally born.

However, because "Three Billboards" is a foreign language film, the focus of the publicity is on Zhang Yimou himself.

"Zhang Yimou's Oscar dream come true!"

Chen Kaige watched the whole live broadcast, and he will never forget the scene of Zhang Yimou waving the statuette.

He doesn't know what to say now, and he doesn't want to say anything.

Chen Hong didn't even know how to persuade her.

All I can say is, "What's his ability to make a foreign language film and win an award."

The fifth generation has a deep attachment to international awards, especially the Oscars.

Now Zhang Yimou took the lead in fulfilling the dream of their generation, which made Chen Kaige feel envious, disappointed, and have some unspeakable emotions.

"Back then, he was just my camera." This can only be thought secretly in the bottom of my heart.

Cheng Yu'an, Liu Yifei and others immediately posted congratulatory messages on Weibo, and Cheng Yu'an called it a "historic moment"!
　I know it's impossible, but I really want to realize Zhang Dao's dream
