Chapter 71 The Oscars for the First Time (Read More!)
Los Angeles, Hollywood, outside the Kodak Theater.

Now Kodak is not yet bankrupt, and countless people all over the world buy their film products, and their business is booming.

So much so that the wealthy Kodak spent a huge sum of money to name this theater, which is called a big spender.

No one expected that after just ten years, Kodak would face the dilemma of bankruptcy and liquidation.

Back to the point.

This year is the first year that the Kodak Theater has been put into use. This new theater has up to 3400 seats and is very worthy of the size and level of the Oscars.

For at least the next 20 years, this will be the venue for the Academy Awards.

However, this is the first time it has been used. Both the media reporters who came to watch and the guest celebrities who came to participate were all curious about this newly opened grand theater.

Outside the theater, it took 18 people and 900 hours to complete the laying, and the long red carpet with an area of ​​up to 4645 square meters has been laid.

It is worth mentioning that this labor-intensive and expensive red carpet is only a one-time item and will not be reused. It will be destroyed after tonight.

It can only be said that Hollywood is a wealthy and prosperous Hollywood, and it is generous in its actions.

At this time, on both sides of the red carpet, thousands of media reporters from all over the world have gathered. They all looked at the end of the red carpet with anticipation, waiting for the concierge cars to arrive, and then dumped the film in their cameras empty!
Today is a once-in-a-year event for every reporter. Countless top Hollywood celebrities will be present, so don’t be stingy with film!
Among the reporters, there is a small group of reporters who are different from their colleagues around them, and they stand out among the crowd.

Because their complexion is all yellow, and they don't speak English, but authentic Mandarin.

"Will Director Wu walk the red carpet?"

"Sure! "Juno" was shortlisted for four awards, can Director Wu not walk the red carpet?"

"I cheered up for a while and started shooting as soon as Director Wu arrived. This time I specially prepared ten rolls of film and made them all!"

"I don't know if Director Wu will win the award tonight."

"I guess no mainland filmmaker has ever won an Oscar."

"Not necessarily. Director Wu's film is a Hollywood film, not a mainland film. There is still hope to win an award."

The Huaxia reporters gathered together were chatting with each other, their voices were full of uneasy emotions. They both hoped that Wu Yuan would win the award, but were also afraid that he would not win the award.

Although Wu Yuan was shortlisted for an Oscar with an English film, he is also a native of China. Winning the award is definitely a shot in the arm for the Chinese film industry.

Chinese filmmakers have won the top three awards in Europe, and they have won quite a lot, but no Chinese director has ever won an Oscar.

The closest time was last year when Li Eu was nominated for Best Director and Best Film for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". But is Li Eu considered a director trained in China?
Now Wu Yuan has been nominated for four awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Original Screenplay. If he can win the Best Picture or Best Director, he will truly achieve a breakthrough of 0!
It's just that every Huaxia reporter knows in his heart that all major Hollywood media have made predictions before the awards.

Among the shortlisted films, "Juno" is the least likely to win the best director and best picture
"Director Wu is still young, so being nominated is already very impressive." A relatively young reporter said confidently: "I believe that Director Wu will definitely win the Oscar for Best Director in the future!"

On the red carpet, groups of guest crews arrived at the scene and stepped onto the red carpet to contribute pictures and photos to the reporters.

The frenzied media reporters around were all frantically taking pictures, with flashes flashing non-stop.

Only the Chinese journalists gathered in one corner were very restrained. Even if international superstars were present, they only took a symbolic photo or two to save the use of film.

Until, a black concierge car drove to the end of the red carpet, and Wu Yuan and John, in suits and leather shoes, walked out of the car with Chris and Scarlett.

The Huaxia reporter group, who had been silent for the whole afternoon, immediately went crazy.

"Director Wu! Look this way!"

"Director Wu, is there any hope of winning an award at tonight's awards ceremony?"

"Director Wu, smile!"

It's not just Chinese reporters, Wu Yuan is no longer an unknown little director in Hollywood, and the excitement of the Berlin Film Festival hasn't completely passed yet.

Watching a director who had just won Berlin's Best Director walk onto the red carpet, the blond and blue-eyed foreign reporters immediately pointed their cameras at him.

"Daniel, look at me!"

"Come here!"

"Daniel, smile!"

Compared to the cast members Chris and Scarlett, as well as John, a producer who is not famous at all, Wu Yuan is undoubtedly the most worthy of filming in this red carpet group.

As soon as he appeared, he became the focus of the entire red carpet.

Not just on-site media, the Academy Awards are broadcast live and broadcast in most places around the world, including the red carpet.

At this moment, audiences in the United States, China, Europe, Japan, South Korea and other countries who are interested in paying attention to this year's Oscars, no matter which time zone they are in, have seen Wu Yuan standing on the red carpet smiling and waving.

Wu Yuan's well-fitting suit, straight back, confident smile and steady steps all together constitute a "perfect" image of a handsome guy with oriental temperament.

Whether people know Wu Yuan or not, when they see him through the live broadcast, they must be fascinated by his demeanor and temperament at the moment.

Most of the Asian women of the right age who are watching the live broadcast are screaming in front of the TV, who is this Asian man with a superb temperament?

Well, Chris Evans, who is one step behind him, is also handsome, and more in line with European and American aesthetics. He is also fascinated by European and American women in front of the TV.

Plus the young and beautiful version of the widow sister Scarlett Johansson.

The crew of "Juno" is a combination of handsome men and beautiful women, and they can take everything from Asia and Europe!

The appearance effect is very good!

In China, CCTV also spent money to buy the broadcast rights of this year's Oscars.

Not for anything else, just because Wu Yuan is nominated for this Oscar.

However, since the movie "Juno" has not been released in the mainland, and the content of the movie is really contrary to mainland values, the host in the broadcast room did not introduce too much about the situation of the shortlisted movie "Juno". Instead, it mainly introduces Wu Yuan himself.

"Walking on the red carpet is the crew of "Juno", and the leading Chinese face is the famous Chinese director Wu Yuan."

"Director Wu Yuan wrote and directed his first film "The Night the Comet Came" when he was 18 years old. The film not only made nearly 2000 million domestic box office, but also won the best screenplay at the Sanchez International Fantasy Film Festival. prize!"

"In February this year, Director Wu Yuan took his latest film "The Undertaker" to Berlin to participate in the Berlin International Film Festival. Not only was he successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit, but he also won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director at this Berlin Film Festival! "

"Now, he's coming to the Academy Awards with the movie "Juno" he directed in the United States!"

"The film "Juno" was nominated for four Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Screenplay!"

"Let us look forward to Director Wu Yuan's performance tonight, and let us wish Director Wu Yuan to win the award! Winning glory for Chinese filmmakers on the stage of the Academy Awards!"
