Full-time actor

Chapter 464 [29] He deserves this Oscar trophy!

"The most famous red carpet in the world has unfolded!"

"Welcoming the brightest movie stars!"

"Tonight a group of talented superstars will compete for the highest honor in the film industry - the Oscar!"

"..."

Listening to the 77th Academy Awards broadcast live on the computer, Liu Yifei, wearing cartoon pajamas, and Liu Xiaoli were lying on the bedside, watching carefully.

The laptop was placed on the knees of Liu Yifei's slender legs. Even though the computer screen was small and it was broadcast live on the Magic City TV channel, the two of them still watched it with gusto.

After all, this is the Oscars, the most coveted film temple for filmmakers around the world.

What's more, there are two people who care about Chen Yu, who will appear on the red carpet.

Domestic media are reporting this news in real time.

"This kid, what can't be said about this kind of thing? How can I still scold him if he doesn't succeed?"

These days, apart from "Titanic", no movie can beat "The Lord of the Rings" in terms of fame; and only "Titanic" can surpass the global box office record of 11 billion for a single film.

"what?!"

It was as if nothing could trouble him at all.

"It's so surprising..."

Liu Yifei listened to the English commentary of the Oscar host on the computer and quickly pointed at Robert Shea and said: "That's it, Robert Shea, the boss of New Line Cinema, "Rush Hour", "Lord of the Rings", "Blade" , and "The God of Death" are all from their company!"

And now, the company behind this epic film will become one of the producers of Liu Yifei's new film. How can this not shock Liu Xiaoli?

"Mom, do you think Chen Yu is very capable?"

"Sissi, when will your movie with him be filmed?"

But that's fine. Although Chen Yu was not shortlisted, he still participated in the Oscar ceremony. This is something that not many people in China can do.

Liu Xiaoli was a little excited: "The film company of The Lord of the Rings?"

"Yeah, are you surprised?"

Liu Xiaoli was smiling there, and Liu Yifei immediately snuggled next to her and said dotingly: "It's a pity that we filmed it with Brother Cheng Long. How great would it be if we could play the male and female lead together with Chen Yu?"

Liu Xiaoli felt that her heartbeat was a little accelerated. Did her daughter successfully enter Hollywood like this?

"Oh my god, why didn't you tell your mother about this?"

Liu Xiaoli suddenly sat up, looked at Xie Yi who was being interviewed, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with him?"

Liu Xiaoli was in a much better mood and looked energetic. Her daughter's career had made such a big improvement, and she really wanted to drink some wine to celebrate.

"Lord of the Rings?"

However, when she thought that it was indeed not confirmed, Liu Xiaoli suppressed her excitement and murmured: "Mom must thank Xiao Chen properly when I come back!"

Of course Liu Xiaoli knew that the software Liu Yifei was looking at was a product developed by Chen Yu Company; Liu Yifei shook her head and pursed her lips: "No, he didn't tell me!"

Directly participate in this kind of film company's new film, or will you be the female lead?
"Chen Yu said he hadn't signed the contract yet and asked me not to tell you, but... I think it shouldn't be a big problem!"

"Let me slow down!"

But combined with the trilogy, Titanic has to be called a big brother. It is definitely the most brilliant series in the world's film history.

Sharp-eyed Liu Xiaoli watched Cheng Long and New Line Cinema's Robert Shea appear in the Oscar red carpet shots.

"Hey, I still don't know when I'll be back!"

"The project has been approved, wait a minute——"

"At least my boss is on camera, so he must fawn over him!"

"For the new film, didn't I say that I wanted to hire a Hollywood film company? It's him!"

This is due to her blind confidence in Chen Yu.

"This is just the first one, there is always a chance, don't worry!"

"More than 100 million people are watching?"

Liu Yifei squinted her eyes and said proudly, "This is not for herself, but for her boyfriend who is thousands of miles away. She is really so good that it makes people jealous. In this circle, which film company can say that it can get such a Top resources?

"Cheng Long? Is he the award guest?"

Liu Xiaoli suddenly asked.

Liu Yifei smiled slightly, and Liu Xiaoli was right to think about it.

No wonder there are so many people, and the number of people online is still rising at a rapid rate.

"It must be his company's behavior!"

"Did Xiao Chen ask someone to do this?"

Looking at the number of people displayed in the upper right corner of Tomato Live, Liu Yifei felt a little unbelievable; this was different from the TV series "Sword and Sword", there was no Oscar at all... Oh, the left bar was highlighted in disguise.

"When he told me this a few days ago, I couldn't believe it!"

And it's from Hollywood.

Liu Yifei was counting with her fair-skinned jade fingers that looked like green onions. She hadn't seen him in more than 20 days, right?
And he still has to go to Japan to film, which will take at least another month.

Coming and going, not seeing each other for 2 months... This should be the longest period of time the two people have been apart.

"Then you can't leave. Director Huo has to start shooting the spring and summer scenes again. You have to shoot for at least 2 months, right?"

Liu Xiaoli reminded her, Liu Yifei muttered, and the perverted Chen Yu was able to take the bait: "I know, I didn't say anything..."

I just miss my boyfriend a little bit, why aren't I allowed to talk about it?
"The fastest it will be is the Hong Kong Film Awards at the end of next month!"

Liu Yifei was muttering to herself, but Liu Xiaoli on the side stretched out her finger and pointed at the computer: "Xiao Chen, hurry up, Xiao Chen is walking on the red carpet!"

Swish!
Liu Yifei raised her head, her eyes seemed to be shining brightly, and she looked at her boyfriend, who was tall and slender in a suit and followed Zhang Yimou and his group, appearing in the camera.

Countless people in the venue shouted the name "chan, chan".

“It’s so popular!”

Liu Yifei glanced at the upper right corner of Tomato Live and found that the number of real-time online viewers, which had just dropped to more than 50, had jumped to more than 100 million.

Although this Magic City TV channel is broadcasting the entire Oscar broadcast, it does not have any commentary or host. It is completely straight-forward in English. Of course, not many people watch it. Thanks to the left side of the channel, which is always on top, there are always viewers clicking in.

Now seeing Chen Yu and Zhang Yimou appear in the camera, of course they wanted to take a look.

As expected, the audience around the Oscar red carpet cheered with great enthusiasm. The entire screen was filled with voices calling for Chen Yu. This Oscar red carpet is different from the three major film festivals in China. It is similar to the Golden Globe Awards. It is a movie with countless people. People gathered there, and then the live broadcast camera of the venue scanned over one by one.

On the big screen outside the venue, a person's name and picture will be printed in real time, so the cheers come from the outside.

"Is chan the English name of Xiao Chen?" "Yes, heal chan, this guy named it himself, it made me laugh!"

When she thought of Chen Yu's English name being so direct, Liu Yifei felt that the English name of her crystal, Crystal, sounded much better.

"Do you think your English name is so good?"

Crystal?

Liu Xiaoli loved her son-in-law very much, especially now that he had helped Liu Yifei obtain such good resources. Her mother-in-law was even more concerned about him and hurriedly spoke up to defend him.

"That's better than his heal!"

Liu Yifei snorted, but Liu Xiaoli next to her sighed: "Xiao Chen is indeed popular in the United States, many people are shouting his name!"

"Yes, he told me that many people came to him for autographs during the Golden Globe Awards!"

"I guess now he is second only to Brother Cheng Long and Jet Li, right?"

Liu Yifei was actually in a very happy mood. When Chen Yu was walking on the red carpet just now, she even took a closer look. She originally thought that the male and female protagonists of "House of Flying Daggers" would hold hands and walk on the red carpet together, or appear together arm in arm. Unexpectedly, the camera Chen Yu, who was in the middle of the crowd, had one hand in his pocket, a cheerful smile on his face, and waving to everyone with the other hand.

Zhang Ziyi plays Lao Mouzi and Zhang Weiping.

"Mom thinks Xiao Chen will one day be able to surpass Cheng Long, just like Bruce Lee!"

Liu Xiaoli said suddenly, Liu Yifei glanced at the display screen, and subconsciously nodded in agreement: "Yes, for sure!"

"So, you have to work hard too!"

"There are a lot of Oscar stars here this time. Mom knows them all, the handsome guy who shot "Titanic", and Natalie Portman, who you like..."

"Well, DiCaprio, I saw it!"

The 77th Oscars is indeed a star-studded event, with more celebrities than Chen Yu attended at the Golden Globe Awards last month.

Those who were present last time also participated this time, and there were many who did not go to the Golden Globe Awards, such as Tom Cruise, director of "Titanic", "Terminator" Cameron, "Saving Private Ryan", Steven Spielberg, director of "Jurassic Park" and "Schindler's List."

"Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman...all the big names in Hollywood are here!"

Liu Yifei looked enviously at the shining stars one after another. She was also looking forward to the day when she would be able to stand on such a stage. Even if she was not shortlisted, participating in such a grand event would be worthy of her status as an actor. .

"It's interview time!"

"This host should be able to interview Chen Yu, right?"

Liu Yifei looked at the camera and returned to the front of the red carpet. Countless scenes of Oscar-nominated movies flashed on the TV, and "House of Flying Daggers" was among them.

"Exciting live broadcast from the Kodak Cinema in Hollywood, the countdown to the 2005 Oscars begins..."

Two hosts, a man and a woman, appeared on the screen, and they introduced: "Hello everyone, I am Chris Connery, I am in Hollywood!"

"What is about to begin is the 77th Oscar Awards in Hollywood history. Now, it is the awards night. We are broadcasting this live broadcast in 173 countries around the world, covering a total of 59 billion viewers!"

"Yes, everyone, happy night, I'm Jen Carr, and I'm about to visit the stars who are attending the Oscars this time!"

"Look how stylish they are on the red carpet, welcome Billy!"

scoff!

Billy Bush, the host in charge of the interview, suddenly walked on the red carpet: "The most eye-catching passage is right here. The global media, the flashlights are on non-stop, and the crazy fans are screaming there, You have to be there!”

"This is the city that knows best about entertainment. This is the biggest party in Hollywood!"

"Which one should we interview first this time?"

Billy began to interview Oscar stars one by one. The number of people online in the Tomato Live broadcast room continued to decline, but the comment area was very lively.

Many people are discussing this Oscars ceremony, and some are even spreading interviews with celebrities there.

Some netizens are still translating the previous subtitles.

Finally, the crew of "House of Flying Daggers" appeared on the screen.

"Last year there was a phenomenal Eastern movie that earned 3.05 million in global box office. It even broke our North American box office record for foreign language films. At the just-concluded Golden Globe Awards, it won the award for Best Foreign Language Film. It Who is it?"

"That is a very beautiful kung fu movie that fascinates us - "House of Flying Daggers"!"

"Welcome director Zhang Yimou, Mr. Zhang Weiping, Chen Yu... Wada Huimei..."

Every time the host Billy said something, the audience cheered together. When Chen Yu's heal chan was mentioned, the cheers were obviously the highest.

Chen Yu, a 20-year-old handsome man with exceptionally good fighting skills, has gained popularity among countless young people around the world.

"Time Magazine", advertisements, and many blessings from the Olympic Games have made him a rising Chinese Kung Fu star in Hollywood.

And because of the unexpected Golden Globe Award for "House of Flying Daggers" and the fact that this time it was shortlisted for seven Oscars including Best Visual and Photography, the entire crew of "House of Flying Daggers" was basically present. , including photographer Zhao Xiaoding, art director Huo Tingxiao, etc.

"First of all, I want to interview Director Zhang Yimou. It seems like this isn't your first time attending our Oscars, is it?"

"Did you come here once the year before last?"

Billy asked there, Lao Mouzi's English was not good, and Zhang Ziyi beside him acted as a translator.

"Actually, this is my third time coming to the Oscars!"

"Whoa, third time?"

Billy obviously didn't expect it, and made an exaggerated expression: "So is this the third time you have been shortlisted today?"

"No, the fifth time!"

"But this time, there are more awards shortlisted!"

A total of seven awards is definitely the first time in history.

Previous films such as "Ju Dou", "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma's Bridge", "Raise the Red Lantern" and "Hero" were all shortlisted for one category.

In Chinese history, only two movies have been nominated for more Oscars than this, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "The Last Emperor"!
Although "The Last Emperor" is co-produced by China Film and Television, the director is a foreigner.

这部影片入围了1988年第60届奥斯卡的9项大奖，最后这9个大奖全部囊获，入围9次，得奖9次！
Among them, the winner of the two awards for Best Film Composer and Best Art Direction is one person - Su Cong. He is also the first person from mainland China to win an Oscar, and he won two trophies in one session.

Then came "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which was shortlisted for 73 awards at the 10rd Academy Awards, and ultimately won 4 awards.

Li Yu's achievements also gave birth to Oscars for Best Cinematography Bao Dexi, Best Art Director Tim Yip and Best Original Score Tan Dun.

Therefore, it is okay for Chinese people to win awards, provided that your reputation and strength are really there, and your public relations are also in place.

Chen Yu felt that Lao Mouzi deserved to win the award and he deserved this Oscar trophy.

After interviewing Lao Mouzi, the host handed the microphone to Zhang Weiping, and then... it was Chen Yu!

Zhang Ziyi and others on the side are obviously helpless; after all, this is the host's private behavior, and you can't say anything. Besides, Chen Yu's popularity in the United States is indeed higher than that of Zhang Ziyi!

Even if Zhang Ziyi is dissatisfied in her heart, she can only endure it; even if she arrived in Hollywood 1-2 years earlier than Chen Yu.

But popularity is popularity. Foreigners don’t care about qualifications, whether you arrive early or late; in Hollywood, making money and box office are king, and everything else must give way!
This is the reality, and it is also the only indicator for Hollywood to verify the strength of actors. It is even more realistic than in China!
