During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 265 Fight again for Oscar to unlock new achievements

At four o'clock in the afternoon on March 3, North American time, Wei Jin and Jing Tian began to prepare for the red carpet, with Hunter and Matt still accompanying them.

At this time, many domestic media have come, and they are also looking forward to whether Wei Jin can win the Xiaojin again.

Although he received four nominations, Wei Jin was still not sure whether he could win the award. Without him, this was the time when the feminist movement was in full swing in the Western world.

The director of "The Hurt Locker", Kathryn Bigelow, undoubtedly has a greater advantage. After all, no woman has won the Best Director Award or Best Picture Award in Oscar history.

Not to mention winning awards, since the 82 Oscars, only four female directors have been nominated. The last time was way back in 4.

Think about it, at the 82nd Oscar, there were nearly nominations, and there were only four women. It is really an exaggeration. So this time, Kathryn Bigelow has a very good chance of winning.

Moreover, in this year's Oscars, there are an unprecedented 10 films competing for Best Picture. This shows that the competition is fierce, but Wei Jin does not have no chance of winning.

First of all, more than 6000% of the Oscar’s nearly 90 judges are middle-aged and elderly white men. In the era when they grew up, there was no talk of feminism. These people are typical male chauvinists. For today’s feminist movement, they may There will be surrender, but there will definitely be rebellion.

Secondly, generally speaking, it is difficult for the organizing committee to award the Oscar's Best Picture Award and Best Director Award to the same film if it is not uncontroversial. This is also an opportunity for Wei Jin to pick up the slack.

While thinking about it, it was already Wei Jin's turn to walk on the red carpet.

"Relax, Matt, you've already received two nominations, which is a very good achievement no matter what."

"Okay, then I hope we all get what we want."

Including Tom Hanks, Charlize Theron, Meryl Streep, George Clooney and others.

Generally speaking, at the Oscars, the prime spot in the middle of the first row is reserved for acting awards. At this moment, there were several top Hollywood stars sitting there.

"Wei, I'm not nervous, I'm excited. If I win the award, I will win the statuette earlier than Leonardo. I will definitely invite him to my home to visit, haha."

Today, Jingtian is wearing a slim-fitting gown exclusively customized by the designer. The close-fitting tailoring perfectly outlines her figure. The elegant tones are embellished with exquisite embroidery, which is both noble and sexy.

As for Matt and Hunter, they were placed in the second row, right behind Wei Jin and Jing Tian.

The moment she stepped onto the red carpet, the flashing lights never stopped, and Jing Tian also behaved appropriately. After all, she has been on the red carpet countless times, so she is very familiar with it.

But there are exceptions. James Cameron received 9 nominations for "Avatar" and swept the box office all over the world. Today he is the absolute core.

Finally, there must be many Michael Jackson fans among these judges, which is also the best boost for Wei Jin to compete in the Olympics this time.

Soon, the group entered the Kodak Theater and found their own place under the guidance of the staff.

As a Palme d'Or winner, Golden Bear director and Oscar director, the Oscar organizing committee also gave Wei Jin great respect this time. His seat was adjusted from the third row in 07 to the first row now. It's a bit off, but the camera's lens can easily spot him.

It was morning in China at this time, and many people in the industry were also paying attention to the awards ceremony.

Looking at Jing Tian who seemed to be glowing all over the TV, Liu Yifei felt envious in her heart. Although the standards in Venice were very high, the level of attention was not as high as the Oscars. Could it be that she really had to lose to this woman?
What was even more uncomfortable than Liu Yifei was Yang Mi. He had known Wei Jin for a long time, but he failed to see the value of this man clearly. He missed the opportunity to rise to prominence. Otherwise, the person sitting in the spotlight of the world today might not be able to see the value of this man clearly. It's your turn.

Wei Jin, who was at the scene, naturally didn't know what the domestic female stars were thinking. He was chatting with Matt Damon at the moment.

Paired with a pair of high heels of the same color, Jing Tian and Wei Jin stand together, they really are the golden boys and girls.

Wei Jin also expressed some emotion about Matt's good luck. Last year, this guy starred in a biographical film - "The Man Who Made It", and was actually nominated for the Best Supporting Actor, plus the Best Actor for "The Hunt", This may be the closest he gets to winning an Oscar.

While the two were talking, the host came on the stage, chatted for a few words, and soon started the first award.

As Wei Jin's female companion, Jing Tian also came to this "golden area" that many Hollywood actresses envied.

As if thinking that he was holding the statuette and showing off in front of Leonardo, who looked envious but helpless, Matt Damon laughed heartily.

When the movie channel started broadcasting the live broadcast of the scene, Jing Tian, ​​who was dressed in a light blue dress, touched the hearts of the audience in front of the TV with every smile.

Although what he just said was very relaxed, Wei Jin still noticed the twitching of the muscles on Matt Damon's face, because the award now being awarded was the Best Supporting Actor Award.

Unfortunately, the name spoken by Spanish actress Penélope Cruz, the award guest on stage, was not Matt Damon.

This award was won by Christoph Waltz, the Cannes Best Supporting Actor in "Inglourious Basterds".

Even though he was disappointed, Matt still applauded gracefully. He had seen all these competing works, and he had to admit that his performance in "Successful People" was still a bit inferior, so he could only send it to I hope it’s “Hunting”.

The following awards for Best Original Song and Best Feature Animation had nothing to do with Wei Jin, so he lowered his head and played with Jing Tian's green fingers.

"Brother, the camera is filming."

In front of the camera, Jing Tian had to show elegance and could only smile to remind her man.

"Shoot, you are my female companion, what's wrong with holding hands?"

The two of them spoke in Chinese, and Theron on the side was a little curious.

"Wei, what are you talking about? Can you let me join?"

Theron was not nominated today. She came as a guest to introduce the best picture, and she was feeling bored at this time.

"Um, Theron, we are talking about what posture to use tonight. Are you sure you want to join?"

Listening to Wei Jin's nonsensical teasing, Jing Tian and Theron were a little nervous, but they still had to keep smiling, which was very uncomfortable.

While joking, the awards came to the Best Original Screenplay Award, and Wei Jin cheered up at this time.

The award presenters are also old acquaintances, Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. and Tina Fey. The latter is the producer, screenwriter and star of the popular North American comedy series "3D Comedy", and is a very capable all-rounder. .

Downey was wearing brown sunglasses, looking at the card in his hand, with an evil smile on his lips:
"Congratulations to my good friend, Hollywood genius director and genius screenwriter, the magical man from the East, Wei Jin, for "Hunting"!"

This is the first time that Wei Jin has won this award. "Room" was nominated at the beginning, but he did not focus on public relations, and now he has made up for it.

"Brother, congratulations!" "Wei, congratulations!" Two voices sounded at the same time. Wei Jin stood up and gave Theron a kiss, then hugged Jing Tian in his arms and whispered in his ear:

"Tiantian, remember our agreement?"

While traveling in Australia, Jing Tian and Wei Jin agreed that every time he won a statuette, the latter would be given a reward. As for the content of the reward, of course it would be a program that men like.

Instead of teasing the little girl, Wei Jin straightened his clothes and strode onto the stage.

After taking the statuette from Downey and hugging him, Wei Jin held up the statuette in his hand.

"Thank you to the Oscars for their recognition. Since the 82nd Oscars, this is the first time that a Chinese has won the Best Original Screenplay award. I sincerely hope that one day in the future, the Chinese can collect all Oscar categories. For this reason, my compatriots and I , will continue to work hard!”

Hosts on domestic movie channels, viewers in front of TVs, watching the Oscars live broadcast online, and netizens discussing the awards ceremony on Weibo were all excited because of Wei Jin's award and speech.

After winning all categories, Wei Jin was the only one who had the confidence to shout out such bold words. The key is that he is really promising.

The subsequent speech was relatively simple. Wei Jin focused on thanking the producer Hunter during the preparation of the film and the actor Matt Damon for his wonderful performance.

The awards are still going on. After Best Supporting Actress, James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow, the former couple, are in a battle for this Oscar.

Just after "Avatar" won the Best Art Direction Award, "The Hurt Locker" was not to be outdone and won the Best Sound Editing Award and the Best Sound Effects Award consecutively, dominating the number of awards.

But soon, Cameron made a comeback and won the Best Cinematography Award. The whole crew was instantly excited. You must know that the gold content of the Best Cinematography Award is not comparable to the previous technical awards.

At the same time, Matt also stood up and left, and it was soon his turn to award the award.

It is worth mentioning that as soon as Matt left, his position was filled by staff nearby. This was a method prepared by the Oscar organizing committee to avoid unsightly images during the live broadcast caused by stars leaving their seats.

Matt Damon came on stage, looking at the list of winners in his hand, his face twitched unconsciously.

He feels a little complicated now. Cameron originally invited him to star in "Avatar" and gave him a 10-point bonus. Unfortunately, he declined Cameron's invitation because of the filming of "The Bourne Supremacy".

According to the global box office results of "Avatar", he lost at least tens of millions of dollars this time, which is so heartbreaking.

However, despite his complicated mood, Matt Damon still completed the awarding task very well.

"The winner of the Best Visual Effects award is "Avatar", congratulations!"

At this time, "Avatar" is completely proud, winning three out of nine awards, making it the crew with the most awards so far.

Wei Jin also applauded and congratulated from the bottom of his heart. The pioneering role of "Avatar" in special effects has allowed many movies to reap dividends. In the future, movie box office will continue to hit new highs. To a large extent, it is the high ticket prices brought by 3D movies and The benefits of attracting new audiences.

After the applause, Wei Jin quietly left his seat. He was also invited to be the Oscar presenter tonight.

There are also certain requirements for what awards the presenters can award.

Generally speaking, award presenters are not allowed to present awards related to their own nominations; the presenters for the Actor Award are all actors; and Best Director and Best Picture, as the biggest Oscar awards, are usually awarded by top names in the industry.

After such screening, there were not many choices left for Wei Jin. He finally chose the Best Documentary Award. The winning work was called "Dolphin Cove", which recorded the cruel process of fishermen capturing dolphins in a certain area of ​​Japan. .

Domestic audiences may feel unfamiliar just by hearing the name, but Zhou Xingxing was later inspired by this film and created a comedy that everyone should be familiar with, that is "Mermaid".
-
Perhaps because they wanted to continue to see the fight between the two couples, the next Best Editing Award was awarded to "The Hurt Locker". The two films were completely tied in terms of the number of awards and gold content.

The Best Foreign Language Film Award went to "Mysterious Eyes" from Argentina.

Matt may have been almost unlucky. The Best Actor award went to his old rival at the Golden Globe Awards, Jeff Bridges in "Crazy Heart", the villain in the first "Iron Man".

However, in this way, the chances of Wei and Jin are much greater. The probability of winning two out of four is much greater than the probability of winning three out of four.

The next Best Actress award was awarded to Sandra Bullock in "Weakness". This girl's looks are in line with Wei Jin's aesthetics, but it's a pity that she is a bit older.

At this time, Wei Jin also started to get nervous. The last two nominations, Best Picture, were basically not considered. This is a reserved area in North America. The main public relations direction this time was also focused on Best Director. If not, more than 10 million US dollars would be awarded. The public relations expenses were completely wasted.

Jing Tian was so nervous that his palms were sweating, praying to the gods and Buddhas in the sky to bless Wei and Jin. If he failed, he would have to comfort him with his body tonight.

Perhaps moved by Jing Tian's spirit of self-sacrifice, award guest Barbra Streisand announced the final answer.

"The winner of the Best Director Award is Wei, for "Hunting," congratulations!"

It really happened, and Wei Jin felt a huge surprise filling his heart. It seems that the Oscar organizing committee is not willing to succumb to women's rights and has made a certain balance.

"Brother, best director, you did it"

Jing Tian was extremely surprised and stood up to hug Wei Jin and give him a sweet kiss.

At the same time, the domestic audience is also excited. Although Li An has already won the honor of best director for the Chinese with "Brokeback Mountain", he is different from Wei Jin after all.

Standing on the stage, Wei Jin looked more excited than before. After all, he was the first mainland Chinese to win the Academy Award for Best Director.

"Thank you to the Oscars for their fairness and tolerance, and to the judges for their recognition. The Best Director Award is a great recognition of my personal ability. I will always maintain my original intention for the film, and in the future, I will definitely bring more exciting movies to the audience and movie fans." Works, and finally, I want to thank”

After one minute of speech, Wei Jin couldn't say much. He quickly finished his speech and returned to his seat. Jing Tian couldn't wait to play with the little golden man.

"Tiantian, the trophies are all the same."

"It's different, it means different things."

Wei Jin shook his head and refused to argue with the little girl. At this time, he had completely relaxed and he no longer had extravagant hopes for the Best Picture Award.

No surprise, the Best Picture Award was awarded to the most popular "The Hurt Locker". Kathryn Bigelow beat out the other 9 competitors and became the first female director to win this honor in Oscar history, although she was Awards won as a producer.

At this point, the 82nd Academy Awards has come to an end, leaving only the final celebration dinner.

There is no doubt that Kathryn Bigelow is the well-deserved winner tonight, and Wei Jin is also very lucky.

As for James Cameron, I'm sorry, Oscar invited you here just to increase the ratings and help carry the sedan chair.
