China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 701 Liu Tianxian: Little Golden Man? Mine~
The 83rd Academy Awards ceremony.

The big screen on the stage lit up first, and the images kept switching in the backstage.

At this time, the Kodak Theater, which can accommodate more than 3,000 people, was almost full.

After the director on the scene finished cutting to the entire scene, he started cutting to close-up shots.

Hollywood's top stars and directors appeared on the screen one after another.

Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hanks, Natalie Portman...

David Fincher, Coen brothers, Nolan, Spielberg, etc.
One by one, Hollywood's top celebrities appeared on the screen, constantly triggering applause at the ceremony!
James Franco and Anne Hathaway also walked onto the stage at this time.

James Franco was well known to the audience for his role as the Green Goblin in Spider-Man; Anne Hathaway is an even more popular young actress. Both her role in The Princess Diaries, which made her a hit, and her recent role in Love & Other Drugs, in which she partnered with Jake Gyllenhaal, have been widely acclaimed.

Logically speaking, since they are both young and talented, having them host this year's Oscars should be a big selling point.

But the situation on the scene was not like that.

There were two hosts on the stage, one was overly enthusiastic, the other was terribly dull.

It doesn't fit at all.

Anne Hathaway wanted to do her best to host such an important occasion because it was her first time. But sometimes, the more you do this, the more likely you are to overdo it.

On the stage, she tried her best to show her sense of humor, which made the conversation feel forced.

And I don't know if James Franco next to her was high or had some dislike for Anne Hathaway, so he deliberately wanted to embarrass her and his reaction was obviously slow.

Not only did he refuse to cooperate, but he also frequently disrupted Annie's rhythm, making her more and more confused.

Even someone like Sun Yi, whose English is not that good, could hear that Annie made obvious grammatical errors when she was hosting, and even her words did not express her ideas clearly.

I guess after tonight, this girl will have to take the blame.

And it was from this point that her online blackening began.

Once upon a time, Sun Yi always felt that in the future, Anne Hathaway's situation in Hollywood was somewhat similar to that of the little girl in China.

No publicity, no hype, just quietly doing your own thing, but even if the tree wants to be still, the wind will not stop.

There is an overwhelming amount of internet violence with no basis whatsoever, and all kinds of negative information is also pouring in.

Anyway, no matter what you do, there will always be people who dislike you.

Trying to stay clean in the muddy entertainment industry will also make people jealous.

In this life, Sun Yi changed Liu Yifei's fate, but he could only express deep sympathy for Annie on the stage.

Fortunately, the host’s opening segment didn’t last long, and after that, everything was fine.

The award ceremony entered the formal stage.

The Academy Awards are different from the domestic film festivals and the three major European film festivals that Sun Yi has participated in.

It has a lot of awards, 24 in total, and they are not divided into individual units like the three major European awards. All of them will be awarded at once tonight.

Therefore, his award ceremony was very quick, especially for the less important awards at the beginning.

Basically, the award presenter comes on stage, chats for a few minutes, announces the list of candidates, the on-site director gives a few shots, and then quickly moves the awards.

The same goes for the winners. Going on stage is like picking up a package. They thank Cainiao Station and the courier, and then go off the stage with the package.

Just over an hour later, all the small prizes had been awarded, with each taking an average of 4 to 5 minutes.

The main focus is on assembly line operation.

During this period, the director also gave Sun Yi several shots.

The reason is that basically all the nominations for his two nominated films, "Pacific Rim" and "The Invisible Guest", were at this stage.

For example, he was nominated for Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Editing, Best Makeup, etc., but he never stood up on stage to receive the award.

completely annihilated.

The only ones left are Best Foreign Language Film for Pacific Rim and Best Original Screenplay for The Invisible Guest.

"Director, it's okay. You are the best director I have ever met. I believe in your ability and you will definitely win the award."

Elizabeth Olsen took advantage of the break in presenting the awards on stage to raise her fist and comfort Sun Yi in a low voice.

In her opinion, it was very disappointing that she didn't win any award despite so many nominations.

At this time, people's mood must be very low and they need the care and comfort of others.

Little did people know that Sun Yi never believed that he, a Chinese, could win the award with his first nomination.

You really don't take seriously the unspoken rule of Americans who talk about equality and freedom but practice discrimination and exclusion behind the scenes.

Therefore, this time he came, at most he was just here to check it out.

"Elizabeth, please tell me, how many directors have you met?"

Sun Yi's question stumped the little girl.

Only then did she remember that she was just a newcomer, and her only movie in theaters was "The Invisible Guest". The directors she had met and worked with could be counted on the fingers of one hand.

The little girl looked so embarrassed that she was too embarrassed to even look up at Sun Yi.

"Haha, okay, okay, I'm not that fragile. I don't have any hope at all."

I don’t know which dog director on the scene it was.

The scene where Sun Yi and Elizabeth were whispering to each other with their heads tilted was cut back.

At times like this, it is usually difficult to see the mouth shape clearly, and one can only analyze it based on the person's expression and movements.

Sun Yi was smiling slightly, with a playful look in his eyes, while Elizabeth buried her head shyly, blushing and looking submissive.

It looks very ambiguous.

In fact, Elizabeth was so embarrassed by what Sun Yi said that her face turned red with embarrassment.

But the audience who are watching the live broadcast don’t know that.

It’s better abroad. Audiences in North America just treat it as a funny story and don’t take it seriously. But it’s different in China.

The online broadcast room of Starry Sky Video was instantly in an uproar.

"Look, look, Sun Yi is flirting with that American actress."

"Oh, you unfaithful man, Chen Shimei, having Sissi is not enough."

"I know it, I know it, all directors are bad, they are always fickle."

"Sun Gou, how dare you let Xixi down like this? I'm going to kill him with a knife!"

"Oh my god, I'm going to show off my power outside the territory and capture the big foreign horse!~~"

All kinds of comments filled the entire screen at once, and the staff behind Star Video were all panicked.

This is our boss, what should we do?

Contact the public relations department immediately.

On this side, Liu Yifei, who had just finished a day of training, happened to see this scene.

Her little mouth is pouting so much that you can hang a soy sauce bottle on it.

In a rage, he punched the pillow in his arms.

Men are all big pigs~
Big pig hooves!

Pillow: That's not right. How come the man is gone? I am also being beaten~
Sun Yi definitely had no idea about the situation in the country.

Who would have thought that just a casual joke with Elizabeth would lead to such a big misunderstanding.

At this moment, the award ceremony is in intermission.

After all, no one can sit there for three or four hours.

This period is also the time for the award ceremony to broadcast advertisements and award-winning highlights.

"Oh, my dear grandson, it's so nice to see you."

Sun Yi met the fat man Harvey again in the lounge.

"Hello, Mr. Harvey." "Don't be so distant. I wonder if you are a little sad because you got nothing in the first half?"

"Not really. I'm not that fragile."

"That's right. This is the person who dared to discuss cooperation and conditions with me alone when he first ventured into Hollywood."

Harvey patted Sun Yi's shoulder very familiarly, looking very intimate.

At the same time, she whispered in his ear: "Don't be discouraged, my friend. Believe me, there will be a surprise for you tonight."

"???"

Sun Yi was quite confused. He knew that Harvey had a deep network of contacts among the academic community in Hollywood, and he often used this to do public relations for the Oscars.

But these things all cost money, and I didn't give him a penny.

Could it be just to maintain cooperation with Star Sky?
Sun Yi was a little bit unconvinced. Could this money-hungry Jewish guy really do such a thing in the future?
"Come, come, Sun, I'll take you to meet some friends."

Just when Sun Yi was puzzled, Harvey pulled him towards another group of people.

"Tom, this is Sun, a talented director from China."

"Oh, nice to meet you. I've seen your Pacific Rim. You're so handsome. I've wanted to meet you for a long time."

Tom Cruise gave Sun Yi a warm kiss on the cheek, and it didn't seem like he was just being polite at all.

By the way, even though Sun Yi is an outsider in Hollywood, the powerful Big Six, even if they value him, are only going for Star Image's production cost advantage.

I am not so optimistic about his directing ability.

But some second-tier small companies like him very much.

The reason is not complicated.

It means being able to make money.

The top six companies are obviously still reserved and don't care about this at all, but those second-tier film and television companies don't think so. They are very practical and hope to cooperate with Sun Yi.

Just like Harvey's Weinstein Films and Leonardo's film and television investment company.

Tom Cruise in front of us probably has the same purpose.

Star actors of their level have already become bosses long ago. Rather than making movies and getting paid for it, they prefer cooperative investments.

The two of them followed Harvey's introduction and chatted for a long time. If it weren't for the limited intermission time of the award ceremony, they would probably have talked further.

Finally, after exchanging business cards and personal contact information, they returned to the lobby.

"Director, is it possible for us to win an award?"

As soon as he sat down, Chris asked Sun Yi in a low voice.

Obviously, the break just now did not make him feel relaxed, but rather a little nervous.

Even though he won't receive any awards tonight, for him who has been labeled as a box office poison, it would be a good thing for him if the movies he starred in achieved even a little bit of success.

In fact, there is another meaning in his words.

As part of Hollywood, that is, as an insider in the circle, they all know pretty much what the Academy Awards are all about.

Only Elizabeth Olsen, a newbie, still thinks she can win the award based on her ability alone.

Of course, strength is necessary, but it is not the most important thing.

What Chris meant was to ask Sun Yi whether he had done any public relations.

However, Sun Yi's answer disappointed him.

"I don't even know why I was nominated, let alone the public relations for winning the award."

Although Sun Yi answered this way, he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind.

Was Harvey's words just now meant to imply something? Was he sure that he had put a lot of effort into winning me over?

Sun Yi couldn't figure it out.

Her mood was apparently calm, but at this moment, the old man Harvey caused a ripple in her mood.

There's nothing we can do about it, this is the Oscars after all.

Even though it has problems of one kind or another, it cannot conceal the fact that it is highly praised by movie fans all over the world these days.

Of course, Sun Yi was no exception.

Knowing that you have no chance is one mentality, knowing that you may win the award is another mentality.

[The Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film will be presented soon. Please welcome the presenters, Russell Brand and Helen Mirren]

Hearing Annie's introduction on the stage, Sun Yi couldn't help but sit up straighter.

Although the Best Foreign Language Film Award is just an appetizer in the important award segment, it is very attractive to non-Hollywood filmmakers around the world.

The two award presenters were quick to greet everyone and then announced the list of candidates.

"Please look at the big screen"

Sun Yi's "Pacific Rim" is on the list.

"The winner of the 83rd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film is "In a Better World" from Denmark."

Upon hearing the result, Sun Yi swallowed involuntarily, then quickly kept smiling and clapped his hands.

At this time, the camera will definitely cut to all the candidates.

I can't embarrass myself here.

Even so, he was already cursing Harvey, the old man, in his heart.

You wanna play with me?
Although in American culture, public relations are put on the table and producers are allowed to publicize judges, no one knows whether the public relations are successful until the moment the awards are announced.

This is just like electing a president. No matter how much money is spent on public relations with voters, there will still be a thrilling vote counting in the end.

But such an obvious hint like Harvey's makes people think more.

But the result was applause.
However, Sun Yi did not complain too much. It was already a surprise that his "Pacific Rim", a science fiction film, was shortlisted. It was normal that it did not win the award.

Next, the Best Animated Feature Film and Best Adapted Screenplay awards were presented, which were won by "Toy Story 3" and "The Social Network" respectively.

Then it was time for Best Original Screenplay.

This is also the last award Sun Yi was nominated for tonight. If he still doesn't win the award, then he will really be here to watch the North American performance.

The award was presented by Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin.

The two of them spoke quickly and drew everyone's attention to the big screen with just a few simple words.

Mike Leigh's "Another Year", "The Fighter" co-created by Eric Johnson, Scott Slifer and Paul Temasek, "Inception" by Christopher Nolan, and "The Kids Are All Right" by Lisa Cholodenko and Stuart Bromberg, and the last one is "The Invisible Guest" by Sun Yi.

"The winner of the 83rd Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay is ~~~~~~"The Invisible Guest, sun~yi~"

He really won the award!
When hearing the result, Sun Yi's first reaction was to curse, followed by an indescribable excitement.

Amid the congratulations from Elizabeth and Chris and the applause from the audience, Sun Yi stood up, straightened his suit, and strode up to the podium to receive the first golden statue of his life.

"I originally thought the Academy would give this award to Inception. After all, in my opinion, Chris, your movie is really great."

The live director cut the camera to Nolan at the right time.

The latter raised his hands and applauded Sun Yi on the stage.

"Thank you, thank you to the Academy for giving me this award. This is the greatest recognition of the film "The Invisible Guest". It is also an encouragement to me personally. Believe me, I will stand on this stage again in the future."

Sun Yi held the little golden man in both hands, looked directly at the camera in front of him, and smiled brightly.

"Oh, by the way, I want to take this opportunity to say one more thing."

As he spoke, Sun Yi switched to Chinese and held up the little golden man towards the camera.

"Sissi, this is for you~"

what! ! ! !

Inside the National Space Administration's guesthouse, a sudden scream was heard late at night, almost attracting the guards.
