If you are asked to make a graduation film, you will win the Golden Bear Award?

Chapter 207 History No.1

"Everyone wants to know. I have to meet everyone's expectations and reveal it." What Lu Chen said on the surface, he must like this question very much in his heart.

You can promote the new movie, "The live-action movie "Transformers" has been fully produced. Mainland China and Xiangjiang will be released in theaters on May 5, and the United States and other countries will be released in theaters on May 1."

"It's March 3th now, so it's less than two months away." The host Stewart took the words, with an excited tone, "This "Transformers" is directed by Lu, and directed by Spielberg. It has special effects produced by Industrial Light and Magic..."

"About the special effects." Lu Chen emphasized, "It was co-produced by Industrial Light & Magic and Mercury Special Effects, and the two companies completed it together."

Mercury special effects live up to expectations.

As the big boss, I also have to give them more reputation in public.

"Director Lu, you have said in front of the media before that the biggest highlight of the movie is the special effects." The host Stuart continued to ask about this matter, "Can you reveal the extent of the special effects?"

"There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. As for the extent of the special effects, we'll wait until the movie is released. Everyone go to the cinema to experience it." Lu Chen continued to promote the new movie, "Of course the movie is not only special effects, but also the world's top weapons. equipment."

"The original story about Transformers toys has also undergone minor changes, which is more in line with the aesthetics of the current audience. In short, the live-action "Transformers" movie is absolutely different from animation and comics. Those who don't understand the original story of "Transformers" may There will be no barriers to watching movies, and the movie is suitable for all ages."

The Oscars are the most-watched film festival in the world, and they definitely need to be advertised well.

As for the host asking this all the time, I'm afraid it was a task arranged by someone, either Spielberg or Universal Pictures, these two are still very influential in the American film industry.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Chen still needs to cooperate with others. If he is alone in the European and American film markets, he still cannot afford it.

"Director Lu, "The Thieves" directed by you has won all the awards in the world's major film festivals." The host began to chat about the award-winning films.

After all, "The Thieves" won the award, not "Transformers". "Last year's Cannes Palme d'Or, this year won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, becoming the first director in mainland China to win this award. Director Lu, do you have any questions?" How do you feel?"

"First of all, I would like to thank the judges for their recognition of "A Family of Thieves." Lu Chen's gratitude is still quite official, "And our country's support for the film industry. Now the film industry in mainland China is ushering in a blowout development, which cannot be separated from the country's support. Great support."

In the past, only state-owned groups were eligible to play movies.

Since the entry of private film capital into the new century, coupled with the improvement of national standards, the film industry will usher in the best golden age.

What Lu Chen has to do is to let the golden age come ahead of time.

Times make heroes.

Lu Chen is going to be a hero to create the current situation.

The guests in the audience waited for Lu Chen to finish speaking, and applauded warmly again.

After the best foreign language film awards are over, the awards ceremony will continue.

"Inception" also won best original screenplay.

The best original screenplay is the least suspenseful award in the Academy Awards. Last year, "Inception" came out and shocked movie fans all over the world.

The six-story space in the movie, as well as the settings about Inception, have made fans all over the world crazy, and countless fans have studied the six-story space in the movie.

The heated discussion was definitely the hottest topic last year. Students from many universities in the United States spontaneously organized to discuss the dreams in "Inception".

It can be seen how popular "Inception" is and how wonderful the script is.

It is definitely well-deserved to win the best original screenplay, and there is no dispute.

And the awards ceremony continued.

After a while, it will be the Best Actor and Actress awards.

Best Actress in a Leading Role was won by Witherspoon for "Walk with the Song."

Best Actor went to the movie "Capote" Hoffman won.

"Brother, it would be great if Leon got the best actor." Liu Yifei looked disappointed.

"Inception" Leonardo was also shortlisted for Best Actor, Liu Yifei thought, if he could win the award, it would be a kind of affirmation for his brother to train actors.

"Yifei, there are always gains and losses in life, and this is the catastrophe in Leonardo's life." Lu Chen thought of his previous life.

Leonardo was nominated three times for Best Actor at the Academy Awards, and finally won the award with his fourth nomination for "The Revenant".

Leonardo is also known by the global media as the accompanying runner of the Academy Award for Best Actor.

"Catastrophe?" Liu Yifei listened to what his senior brother said, with a puzzled expression on his face, thinking how could there be a disaster.

And Leonardo in the back row had a look of disappointment on his face.

This is the second nomination, and this is two consecutive nominations. Last year he was nominated for Best Actor for "The Aviator", and he was nominated again this year. He thought he had a great chance this time.

Being nominated for two consecutive years is already the judges' recognition for me, but I didn't expect to still fail to win the award.

This aroused Leonardo's unyielding spirit, and he was bound to win the Oscar for Best Actor in the future.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chen asked Leonor to play "Inception" more, which made him obsessed with the Academy Award for Best Actor.

Next, the awards ceremony will continue, and the best director that has received the most attention will be entered in a short while.

Nominees include Brokeback Mountain, Capote, Inception, Crash, Good Night and Good Luck.

The award presenter is Tom Hanks, a world-renowned male movie star for his representative works "Forrest Gump" and "Saving Private Ryan".

Standing on the stage, Tom Hanks didn't have to rush to open the envelope to chat with the host about the five nominated films.

This made the nominated directors in the audience a little nervous.

Lu Chen was quite calm. Anyway, when he won the award before, he had already promoted "Transformers", and the goal of participating in the Oscars has been achieved. It doesn't matter if he wins or not.

Liu Yifei was so nervous that her palms were sweating. If Shi Ge wins the award, it will truly create a new history. It will be the first Chinese director to win the Oscar for Best Director and become the No.1 in history.

This is even better than the record broken by "Stolen Family". "Stolen Family" is only the first mainland film to win the best foreign language film, and the Chinese film is only the second.

But if "Inception" wins the best director, Shige will be the real Chinese No.1 winner of this award.

Not only Liu Yifei was nervous.

The Chinese-speaking audience watching the live broadcast were all nervous.

No Chinese-speaking director has ever won the Academy Award for Best Director, and this year, at the 78th Academy Awards, two Chinese-speaking directors were nominated.

The probability is already quite high.

Although five films were nominated, "Inception" and "Brokeback Mountain" were the most popular.

No matter who gets it, it will create a new history belonging to Chinese filmmakers.

Therefore, the Chinese-speaking audience behind the TV are all supporting "Inception" and "Brokeback Mountain". This is an opportunity to win glory for Chinese-language movies.

"Let's stop chatting, we have to get into the topic earlier, or the directors sitting below will curse." Tom Hanks stopped chatting with the host, picked up the envelope, and deliberately tore open it slowly.

All emotions are mobilized.

Everyone at the scene held their breath, including the audience watching the live broadcast.

All waiting for Tom Hanks to announce the winner of the best director.

Looking at the list, Tom Hanks must have not directly promoted, "The five nominated films are all highly rated by the audience, and they are considered to be excellent works, so it is difficult to distinguish between high and low."

"However, if it compares the box office and audience popularity, then the answer is obvious. Four of the five films nominated are not as high as the other film. This film can be regarded as standing out from the crowd among the five films. "

"Brother, this is about "Inception"!" Liu Yifei was very excited. In terms of global box office and popularity, the other four movies combined could not beat Senior's "Inception". Absolute crushing.

"Inception" was the global box office champion in 05, and the top five in global box office history.

It is the most classic masterpiece among the popular and blockbuster.

Lu Chen waited for Tom Hanks to make an official announcement. In case the other party was playing tricks, after all, Lu Chen had played with Andy Lau as the host of the Golden Horse Awards in the previous Golden Horse Awards.

But I believe that he would not dare to play on his own. Lu Chen is not alone, and has a strong partner in the United States.

"The Best Director of the 78th Academy Awards." Tom Hanks paused again after saying this, feeling full of anticipation, "The director from mainland China, director Lu Chen, "Inception". "

"Clap!"

There was thunderous applause.

Especially the main creators of "Inception" and "A Thief Family" applauded the most enthusiastically, and their little hands became red.

Including the Chinese audience watching the live broadcast behind the TV, when they heard the announcement of the list and Lu Chen, they were very excited, just like in 01, everyone watched the announcement of the final host city of the 08 Olympic Games on TV.

Now the Academy Awards still have a strong influence in the mainland, otherwise Zhang Yingmou would not have won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film after "Hero".

Now director Lu Chen has won the Oscar for Best Director, which is the biggest award in the Academy Awards. It is even more arrogant, breaking new history and becoming the first Chinese-speaking director to win this award.

Including the domestic media who watched the live broadcast, when they heard the announcement that Director Lu Chen had won the award, they immediately started writing articles. They wanted to arrange for it to appear in the newspaper immediately, and strive to be the first media to release this news.

Some major domestic media have already begun to inquire when Director Lu Chen will return to China. If they want to know the exact date of Director Lu Chen's return, they can do a separate interview as soon as possible.

And the movie "Inception" won the award, and the entire Chinese audience was excited, saying that Director Lu Chen was awesome. Once again, it raised the status of Chinese-language movies in the world.

"Director Lu, congratulations." Spielberg congratulated Universal Films Doug, including executives from several well-known Hollywood film companies in the front row, all sent blessings to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen thanked everyone for their blessings, and strode onto the stage, thinking in his heart, if he had known he would win the award, he would not have promoted "Transformers" earlier, and the publicity effect would definitely be better in the Best Director speech section.

But it doesn't matter, you can promote it again, whoever wins more awards can be willful.

"Director Lu, congratulations." Tom Hanks handed over the trophy, "You have broken the history of Chinese filmmakers at the Academy Awards."

The eyes are even more admirable.

Directing ability is too strong.

In his 20s, he has already stood among the ranks of world-class directors.

The trophies and box office of the films he directed make it difficult for other directors to catch up.

And Director Spielberg, who worked with Tom Hanks on "Saving Private Ryan", has even praised Director Lu Chen's directing ability several times in public, saying that he is completely top-notch in the world and does not lose his own existence. .

"Thank you!" Lu Chen took the trophy and came to the microphone.

Everyone in the audience thought that director Lu Chen would give a passionate acceptance speech.

You must know that Director Lu Chen is the first person to win the Academy Award for Best Director, becoming No.1 in history.

Not an emotional speech.

But everyone guessed wrong.

It was a very official testimonial, with very little mood swings. I didn't know that I thought Lu Chen was the award presenter. After all, Tom Hanks next to him was very excited, more like an award recipient.

Tom Hanks is excited because he knows that he also participated in the creation of the history of the Chinese-language film industry. In the future, the Chinese-language film industry will be the first Chinese-language director to win the Oscar for Best Director. Who will present the award is Tom Hanke think.

"As for my new movie "Transformers"..." Lu Chen quickly finished his words of thanks and began to promote the movie.

It is different from the previous publicity.

Changed the way and the language.

This made the European and American guests in the audience stunned.

Award acknowledgments are nothing new.

This promotion of the new movie is the same every time, full of new ideas.

It makes everyone wonder whether this is to accept the award or to promote the new movie.

As for the Chinese-speaking actors in the audience, they all laughed, including the Chinese audience watching the live broadcast on TV.

They all knew Director Lu Chen well.

This is Director Lu Chen. He didn't receive an award, but to promote the movie.

Many fans of Director Lu Chen joked on the Internet that Director Lu Chen made a movie not to win awards, but to promote the next movie.

Director Lu Chen deliberately made a film with a very high artistic content in order to be able to stand on the award stage of the film festival to promote the film.

Except for Director Lu Chen winning the award for the first time, it was normal at the Berlin Film Festival. In subsequent film festivals, since the Golden Rooster Film Festival in 03, new films must be promoted every time an award is presented.

When others won the award, they were very excited and burst into tears.

When Director Lu Chen won the award, he hurriedly finished his testimonials so as to promote the movie. If it wasn't for the part of testimonials, Director Lu Chen would have to omit it.

"It seems that Europe and the United States don't understand Director Lu's character." Gong Li smiled and applauded. She was also shocked for a while just now. Anyway, she broke the record of Chinese-language filmmakers in the Academy Awards and became the No.1 in history.

I thought that director Lu Chen would give a different speech, but I didn't expect it to be Qianlu's one. This mentality is too stable. I thought that if Zhang Yingmou and Chen Kaige stood on the stage, they would be extremely excited.

Of course, not only Director Lu Chen, but also the actors of the Mars series, if they win awards at the film festival, they all like to promote the new movie, and they don't miss any opportunity to promote it.

It's no wonder that none of the works invested by Mars Film and Television has lost money, and each work has received particularly high attention.

Of course, the biggest reason is that the quality of the work has passed the test, otherwise it will be useless to make a big publicity.

For example, "The Promise" directed by Chen Kaige, people all over the country knew how much publicity it was in the early stage, but when the movie was released, the audience watched it and said, that's it?Directly swearing at it will also cause "The Promise" to be a stain that Director Chen Kaige will never get rid of for the rest of his life.
