Chapter 447 The whole world is talking about him

God does not make beauty.

Los Angeles in March is already a bit chilly.

On the 3rd, it started to rain again, so that the male and female stars and celebrities on the red carpet of the Dolby Theater were inevitably embarrassed.

However, the atmosphere was as lively as in previous years.

After all, it is the world's attention, the annual Oscars ceremony.

It is said that as many as 2014 countries and regions broadcast the 86th Awards Ceremony in 225. It has to be admitted that the influence of American blockbusters and Hollywood is somewhat terrifying.

It has really achieved a cultural invasion against the world.

In 2014, Chinese-language movies performed well.

A total of three films from both sides of the strait have been selected for the Olympics, namely "[-]" from the Mainland, "The Grandmaster" from Hong Kong, and "Lost Soul" from Taiwan.

Although the three films fell in the list of nominations for the best foreign language film as in previous years.

However, Wong Kar Wai's "The Grandmaster" was shortlisted for the two awards of Best Cinematography and Best Editing respectively, which is not a small improvement.

The production areas of "The Hunger Games" and "John Wick" are in the United States, and the chances of the two films winning awards are not high, but there are well-known actors Hu Ge and Liu Qianqian among them.

And it was "Gravity" directed by Fang Nan that attracted many Chinese reporters to Los Angeles.

"Gravity" was the most popular award-winning Oscar in the 86th session. The super high box office and word-of-mouth made "Gravity" receive 10 award nominations, tied for the number of nominations with "American Hustle".

The Huaxia reporters at the scene regretted that this afternoon, reporters from all over the world couldn't find Fang Nan.

At the critical moment, it seemed as if the world had evaporated.

After clicking on the social media, I found out that Fang Nan was still in Hawaii, obviously not planning to participate in the 86 Oscars.

All of a sudden, many reporters, fans around the world, and audience couldn't help but howl.

Too many people expect the best movie "Gravity" in 2013 to win the Oscar, making this great work a perfect curtain call.

"Director Wang, "The Grandmaster" was shortlisted for two awards, Best Cinematography and Best Editing. Are you confident that you will win?"

Before Fang Nan could arrive, several Chinese reporters surrounded Wang Jiawei and Zhang Ziyi to the center.

Pushing the sunglasses, Wong Kar Wai shook his head: "It's very difficult. I think the judges of the best cinematography award should give it to "Gravity". Director Fang has made an epic film, which has changed the film technology revolution."

The reporter was excited: "Do you think "Gravity" will be the big winner tonight?"

"It's hard to say, "American Hustle" also has 10 nominations, "12 Years a Slave" is also a good movie, and is politically correct, "Nebraska" is very traditional, and finally depends on the judges' vote."

After answering two questions, Wong Kar Wai and Zhang Ziyi smiled and left.

Hu Ge, Liu Qianqian, Guo Fan, Wang Liang and other Chinese filmmakers have finished walking the red carpet. At this moment, it is the turn of the so-called Asian Tiantuan, which is called by domestic netizens, to start the red carpet show.

The red carpet was buzzing.

The same goes for the Dolby Theater.

Before the ceremony started, Ellen, the host of the 86th Oscar and the host of the TV program "The Ellen Show", and superstars such as Ellen and Anne Hathaway, Sandra Bullock, Xiao Li, Matthew McConaughey, etc. Da pizza.

Netizens jokingly called this scene the Oscar version of "The Hunger Games" after live streaming on Douyin's short video, so some viewers urged Liu Qianqian to join.

But what caught several superstars off guard was the call from a large number of fans and audience to Fang Nan.

Seeing this, Allen immediately played the role of host in advance, "So, where is Fang?" She asked Anne Hathaway who was there.

Next to her are Anne Hathaway, Matthew McConaughey, and Sandra Bullock. The first two "Interstellar" with Fang Nan are highly anticipated movies this year.

The latter is the absolute heroine in "Gravity" directed by Fang Nan, and a strong contender for the best actress tonight.

The publicity of the caring people, the support of the audience, and the CP duo, Anne Hathaway and the three are also fans' default good friends of Fang Nan in reality.

Matthew McConaughey joked: "He may be hiding on a beach in Hawaii sunbathing."

Sandra Bullock immediately retorted: "As far as I know, Fang is a workaholic."

Anne Hathaway pointed at Sandra Bullock with an exaggerated expression on her face: "Yeah, you know Fang very well. He is a boring person in reality, but he is a good director."

"Someone who knows better is here." Allen got up and grabbed Liu Qianqian who was passing by.

During the live video, the audience became even more excited when they saw Liu Qianqian, the real protagonist of "The Hunger Games", and asked all kinds of questions.

However, questions about Fang Nan still almost covered the screen of the phone.

Rejecting Alan's shawl because of her recent weight gain, Liu Qianqian stroked her wavy hair and said with a smile, "Director Fang should be in Hawaii, he's working on a new work."

Allen asked, "The one from Universal?"

Liu Qianqian covered her mouth and pretended to be uncertain: "Maybe."

Allen nodded and greeted the phone screen: "Okay, I helped you find the biggest behind-the-scenes manipulator that Director Fang Nan didn't show up at the Oscars, and that is Universal Pictures. Now, you can spit at the door of Universal."

After Allen finished speaking, the glamorous male and female stars around him laughed and trembled instantly.

On the other side, producers and executives of Hollywood film and television companies were also talking about Fang Nan.

Warner Bros. Pictures and Fang Nan's "Interstellar" is in the post-production stage.

Legendary Pictures' "King Kong", which is about to hit the world, got Fang Nan's guidance, and Legendary Pictures is also a part of "The Hunger Games".

Universal Pictures is working with Fang Nan to create a new "Jurassic Park".

Besides, Fang Nan just obtained part of the copyright of "King Kong" from Universal.

Disney executives are having a hard time.

Directors who can make money, such as James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Michael Bay, Quentin Tarantino, etc., either make a movie in 10 years, or they are hypocritical, mysterious, and have no relationship with Disney.

Fang Nan is obviously another talented director in Hollywood in recent years, but Harvey Weinstein, who was imprisoned due to improper interviews on the show, has a very stiff relationship with Disney.

With so many complicated relationships, it is not unusual for the executives to talk about Fang Nan.

As for celebrities with smaller coffee positions, their managers and assistants couldn't do without Fang Nan.

Someone is looking forward to working with him.

Someone is his fan.

Even when discussing tonight's awards show, "Gravity" has 10 nominations.

Tonight, Fang Nan appeared very frequently in the mouths of audiences, celebrities, executives, and the media, but no one was surprised.

This is Hollywood, this is Vanity Fair, as long as you can make it through, everyone will praise it and keep mentioning it.

The eyes of domestic directors such as Guo Fan are shining brightly.

Zhang Ziyi felt envious.

The domestic media and Asian media lamented that no one could truly understand how successful Fang Nan was if he hadn't been to Hollywood or entered the Vanity Fair of Hollywood!

How missed!

How awesome!
Outside the Dolby Theater, hundreds of millions of viewers, movie fans and fans all over the world cried out as the media reported back to their respective countries the news that Fang Nan was confirmed to be absent from the 86th Oscars.

Fang Nan conquered too many people with "The Martian", "The Wandering Earth" and "Gravity".

Many people want to see him stand on the Oscar podium again. After all, there are too many fans who missed the winning moment of "Parasite".

The world-famous Oscars began, and many viewers watched the award ceremony with great regret because of Fang Nan's absence.

But as the awards were handed out one after another, Fang Nan's fans scattered all over the world couldn't help but gradually became happy.

The best original soundtrack award-winning film "Gravity", the winner thanked Fang Nan on stage, "Fang made a great movie!" he said.

For the award-winning film "Gravity" for best sound effects, the four winners also mentioned Fang Nan, "Fang is the hardest-working director I have ever seen."

"I really hope there will be a next collaboration," they said.

The best visual effect "Gravity" won three awards in a row, and the five winners of 13 Swordsmen shouted on the stage: "Boss, Brother Nan, we did it!"

The fourth trophy for Best Sound Editing "Gravity", an unknown Chinese sound editor said: "It feels like a miracle."

Fang Nan won the fifth trophy for best editing. Yan Hong said playfully, "Thank you everyone for thanking Fang Nan just now. Fang Nan doesn't even know what to say about his speech."

The sixth best cinematography trophy was won, and the winner held his forehead and suppressed a smile and said, "I had a lot of quarrels with the director, but I have to admit that he is an excellent filmmaker, and I hope to cooperate again."

Matthew McConaughey won the Best Actor award for Xiao Li for the fourth time with "Dallas Buyers Club". Perfect cooperation."

"Gravity" won ten nominations and six awards, which made the audience who like this movie ecstatic.

Seeing that so many superstars love Fang Nan and beg for cooperation, the young people in front of the TV all became agitated.

There is nothing more exciting to moviegoers and fans than when an idol is recognized by others.

The excitement reached its climax when Angelina Jolie lightly opened her lips after taking the stage and said "Congratulations to Director Fang Nan".

Four years later, Fang Nan once again won the 86th Academy Award for Best Director with "Gravity".

In front of TVs, computers, mobile phones and other electronic products, countless people started a carnival.

Anna stuffed a handful of potato chips into her mouth excitedly.

Wang Haibing took a sip of beer.

Xiao Jiang held his son high until his daughter-in-law stopped him.

Fangnan Huaxia Fan Club, Tieba, Douyin short videos and other entertainment and interactive social areas are full of firecracker signs.

Fans from all over the world, South Korea, Japan, North America, and Europe are also celebrating Fang Nan's second Oscar for Best Director in the same way as their own countries celebrate festivals and major festivals.

"Thank you to the Academy judges, thank you to the actors and actresses behind the scenes of "Gravity", especially Sandra Bullock."

On the stage, Yan Hong took out her mobile phone after finishing speaking: "Director Fang Nan is filming a new movie, so I can't come to the scene. I'll read the acceptance speech he left for me."

"If I won best director for Gravity, I really hope 12 Years a Slave wins best picture, it's a great movie."

"Skin color and race have made the real world we live in extremely torn apart. Movies will be the last pure land guarded by filmmakers all over the world. I hope Oscar can accommodate filmmakers from all over the world. Thank you."

"squeak"

"squeak"

"clap clap"

As soon as Yan Hong finished speaking, thousands of guests left their seats one after another, standing up and applauding Fang Nan's speech.

The applause became more and more enthusiastic as everyone got up, and it lasted for a long time.

Several black actors probably recalled the unbearable past with tears in their eyes.

"thanks, thanks"

After Yan Hong thanked her repeatedly and left the stage, the host Alan thanked Fang Nan twice again, and the applause from thousands of guests gradually dissipated, and the guests also sat down slowly.

As Fang Nan thought, "12 Years a Slave" won the final award, and Hollywood's approach was immediately dismissed as politically correct afterwards.

But it has nothing to do with Fang Nan.

He does not live under the political framework of the United States.

Whether it is correct or not, as long as it does not affect his box office.

Except for extremists and populists, who would dare to say that his speech is faulty?
The 86th Academy Awards ended with "Gravity" winning 10 out of 7 awards. Fang Nan won two awards for best editing and best director.

"12 Years a Slave" won Best Picture.

Another 10-nominated film, "American Hustle," fell to the ground, and neither did Mao.

The news spread around the world, Fang Nan's major social accounts received a lot of blessings.

Similarly, Xiao Lizi, who ran with him four times, also received a lot of blessings.

The corners of his eyes were filled with tears, and the photo of the scene with an awkward smile and Fang Nan's award were among the top two trending searches on Twitter. After a while, the hit rate was as high as one million.

Entries such as Fang Nan's award acceptance speech, speaking up for "12 Years a Slave", magnanimity, absence, and everyone's hot discussion of Fang Nan were also on the hot search list, causing heated discussions.

On this day, it seemed that the whole world was talking about Fang Nan.

He is not an actor, but his reputation is no less than that of any Hollywood superstar.

His sincerity and humility have been affirmed by audiences all over the world at this moment.

And not only did he not know this, but he was having a crazy BB with Chris, the lead actor in Jurassic World.

That's the day of the Oscars.

Filming of "Jurassic World" under the pseudonym "Ebb Tide" began in secret on the island of Hawaii.

The assistant director arranged a big show for the leading actor Chris - Confronting the Velociraptor.

The plot is about the breeder accidentally falling into the cage while feeding the velociraptor in the cage. Owen, a retired Marine Corps, acts as an animal trainer to urgently stop the three velociraptors rushing up.

A batch with a simple plot, Chris's performance just collapsed.

Facing the three staff members with dinosaur skulls, Chris not only failed to express Fang Nan's fear with his eyes, but also laughed at every turn. Head west.

Call what Chris scolded a dog blood sprinkler.

The filming scene was completely silent.

After all, before this, many actors and behind-the-scenes workers who had worked with Fang Nan said that Fang Nan had a good temper. Who would have thought that he would be so irritable, and many people were really frightened.

"Director, call, from Los Angeles."

"Rest, I'll take another shot later." Fang Nan grabbed the phone handed over by his assistant: "What's the matter?"

"You really won an award? Why? There's not much public relations, right?" Fang Nan asked in surprise.

After a while, Fang Nan who put down the phone couldn't help shaking his head.

Before the 86th Oscars, a composer was withdrawn from the judges for public relations emails. Many manufacturers did not dare to do public relations, but let him get a big deal.

But having said that, "Gravity" was mentioned 10 out of 7 more because of its good quality and reputation.

The audience was also very loud, and the public opinion was too big.

Don't look at the academy's awesomeness all day long, but I'm really afraid of public opinion. If there is no ratings, there will be no sponsorship, and the Oscars will be a ghost.
