During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 522: Sensational Farewell Impact
Dolby Theatre, North America.

"The winner of the Best Director Award is"

The award presenter on the stage kept Wei Jin in suspense, which made him a little nervous.

To be honest, "Gravity" has won four technical awards, and the goal of this year's Oscars has been achieved, but the Best Director Award is undoubtedly the highest praise for the director.

Although Wei Jin had gotten it once before, no one thought it was too much.

As far as I can remember, both "Life of Pi" and "Gravity" have won this award, but when the two films are put together to compete, it's hard to say who will win.

It is even possible that due to public relations issues, other people may take advantage of the opportunity.

Zeng Li, who was beside her, was so nervous that she dared not speak.

She had also heard some rumors about netizens' jokes about her being a lucky charm for her husband. Although "Gravity" has won four awards this time, Wei Jin herself is still a nobody.

It would be somewhat regrettable if Wei and Jin returned empty-handed.

In addition, if the crew does not have a grand prize as the finale, it will lack some persuasiveness.

For example, the original "Avatar", although 9 out of 3 nominations were won, it was still ridiculed by the media.

On the other hand, the crew of "Life of Pi" is almost all holding their breath. After an overall defeat tonight, it would be good news if they could make a comeback in this segment.

Even Li An, who was always smiling, now had a solemn look on his face.

The others, including Michael Haneke, who was nominated for "Amour," David O. Russell, director of "Silver Linings Playbook," and Steven Spielberg, who was nominated for "Lincoln," also turned serious.

Without making everyone wait too long, the award presenters Michael Douglas and Jane Fonda on the stage jointly revealed the suspense.

"Wei, Gravity, congratulations!"

YES!

With 8 wins out of 5 nominations, Wei Jin feels that this year's Oscars has been a complete success.

"Xiao Jin, best director, you did it again."

Zeng Li could hardly conceal the pride on her face. She stood up and gave Wei Jin a tight hug. If there weren't so many people around, she would have wanted to reward this man handsomely.

"Thank you, Sister Li. This award is due to your contribution."

After leaving Zeng Li's proud arms, Wei Jin hugged everyone in the crew one by one, then strode onto the stage and began his first and only speech at this year's Oscars.

“First of all, I would like to thank the Academy and all the judges for their recognition. It is not easy for a science fiction film to win the Best Director Award. It seems that my attempt in the film is very meaningful.

I will always maintain the spirit of continuous exploration and innovation, and always keep the original intention of the film and give it respect. In the future, I will definitely bring more wonderful works to the audience and fans.

I want to thank my leading actress Zeng Li. This movie is even more exciting because of you. Although you were not nominated this time, in my heart, you are the most worthy Best Actress! "

Oh~~~
Wei Jin's speech, which sounded like a declaration of love, caused a lot of whistles at the scene. Many people still remembered that it was "Room" that made this Chinese woman nominated for Best Actress.

Fan Bingbing, who was present at the scene, had a face full of envy. Although she had always been on the path of capital, if she were mentioned by a man in such an occasion, she would probably have an orgasm on the spot.

Just as Fan Bingbing thought, Zeng Li's beautiful legs under the cheongsam were now together, and she really looked like she was about to fly into the clouds.

She was already thinking about how to reward Wei Jin when she returned home in the evening.

On the stage, Wei Jin's speech continued.

“I am grateful to my motherland for supporting a peaceful and prosperous era, which allows filmmakers to focus on their work without distractions. I am grateful to my alma mater, Beijing Film Academy, for its training and tolerance of me. I am grateful to all my colleagues in the crew. This award belongs to all of us.

Finally, I want to thank myself for the goal I set to win all the Oscars. I will move towards my goal step by step. I am still young and have unlimited possibilities. I will come again at the Oscars next year. Thank you!"

Many guests at the scene were shocked by Wei Jin’s speech.

He is less than 30 years old and has already won the Oscar for Best Director twice. What kind of miracle will Wei Jin create next time?
The final grand prize had basically nothing to do with "Gravity", and Wei Jin was very calm.

However, perhaps because Wei Jin has created too many miracles over the years, other people in the crew still have some fantasies about the Best Picture Award, and even Chen Xi is no exception.

Come to think of it, Chen Xi is a producer. If she really wins the award, she will have to go on stage to speak. This is an achievement that will create history in Chinese-language films.

Unfortunately, the Oscars for acting and Best Picture are still the preserve of North America. Without a green card or membership in certain organizations, it is extremely difficult to win!

"Argo" won the Best Picture award, but it did not win the Best Cinematography, Best Editing, or Best Director award. I'm afraid it will be ridiculed tomorrow.

At this point, the 85nd Academy Awards has come to an end, leaving only the final celebration dinner.

There is no doubt that "Gravity" won 8 out of 5 nominations, including the Best Director and Best Editing awards, making it the big winner of the night.

The award ceremony ended and Hollywood began its party tonight.

And China, thousands of miles away, was also in a state of excitement at this time.

All major media outlets, news websites, and movie channels are interrupting the news.

Without exception, entertainment headlines and Weibo hot searches were all dominated by Oscar information.

"Gravity was nominated for eight awards and won five, including Best Director, Best Editing, Best Original Score, Best Sound Editing, and Best Visual Effects, setting a new record in the history of Chinese-language films!"

"Life of Pi was unlucky. It received 7 nominations but only won Best Cinematography and Best Original Music. Director Li An himself received nothing!"

"The number of Chinese Oscar category awards hit a new high. Director Wei's ultimate dream is expected to come true!"

"At the Oscars, Wei Jin confessed his love for Zeng Li - You are my best actress, romantic and bold!"

My alma mater, Beijing Film Academy, continued to carry forward its fine tradition and prepared eight banners starting from the award ceremony.

For every nomination, a banner is hung. Now there are five banners in total, and there is almost no room for them at the school gate.

It happened to be the time of the Beijing Film Academy's art exam. The row of red banners simply blinded the candidates' eyes, as if saying: See? This is the strength of the Beijing Film Academy!

The students from the Central Academy of Drama next door all had envy in their eyes. Why doesn't the Central Academy of Drama have any great directors?
Jiang Wen felt like he had suffered 10,000 critical hits.

All major portals, Weibo, and Tieba were also bustling with activity, with loud gongs and drums and firecrackers.

"8 nominations and 5 wins, Wei Jin is awesome! It is said that the film "Nomadland" currently in production is also aiming for the Oscars next year, so fierce!"

"I just want to say that Dalizi is the most auspicious wife. I unilaterally declare that I agree to their marriage."

"Now in terms of awards and honors, Wei Jin should be the most awesome in China. The only ones left are Best Picture and the three major European Grand Slams. If they really achieve it, Boss Wei will be really encouraged!" "Hehe, if they really achieve it, then in ancient times, they would be worthy of being enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"

"Normally it's unlikely, but if it's the Wei and Jin dynasties, there might be a chance."

"Boss Wei is so strong. Not only did he win the award himself, he also led others to win awards. Those who won this time with ease should be blessed with great fortune."

"Boss Wei, I'm looking for a sponsor. I have long legs, big breasts, good skills, and a soft body that won't cling to people. My phone number is"

"Get out of here, you damn demon!"

North America, Beverly Hills.

After the dinner, Wei Jin rejected invitations including from Kristen, Taylor Swift and others, and accompanied Zeng Li back to the villa.

The main reason was the fierce battle with Fan Bingbing last night. Although he did not spend the night outside, he was still interrogated by the two ladies after returning home. No matter what, he could not go out tonight.

Along the way, Wei Jin received many congratulatory calls, including from school teachers, senior executives of the group, familiar domestic directors and celebrity artists, and several women.

Even Zhou Xingxing, who I seldom contact with, called to congratulate me.

Of course, congratulations are not the main reason. The main reason is to talk about the postponement of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

This Spring Festival, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" can be said to be invincible. In just 15 days, it has broken the 10 billion box office mark.

During this period, the stock price of Bigo Group has been rising rapidly.

Zhou Xingxing owns a 30% share in the project, so naturally he wants a higher box office. If he can even get the extension key, the stock price can be raised again.

However, he is a little nervous now, because although there is some gap between the single-day box office of "Journey to the West" and "Seattle", when the release time really ends, perhaps the daily revenue of the two will be similar.

In other words, the box office achieved during the postponed period may not be too different.

But "Seattle" is a wholly-owned production of Shanhe Media after all. From the perspective of interests, it is more likely to receive extended support.

Just when Zhou Xingxing was about to try again, Wei Jin gave his answer.

"Director Zhou, I will notify the company to cooperate. Please prepare the materials and submit them."

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Wei for your support, thank you."

There was excitement in Zhou Xingxing's tone, not only because of the interests, but also because with the postponement, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" might be able to challenge "Rogue Alliance" for the top three position in the box office chart.

This is also a great achievement for a Chinese-language director.

"Xiao Jin, will Teacher Xue have any objections?"

Wei Jin had just hung up the phone when he saw Zeng Li walking towards him in pajamas with a hint of curiosity on her face.

Reaching out and holding the beautiful lady's soft body in his arms, Wei Jin explained:
"Sister Li, the staying power of a romance film is still not as good as this special effects comedy. And according to the tone of the General Administration, the strong will always be strong. It is not certain that Seattle will be approved even if it is submitted. Teacher Xue will understand."

What Wei Jin said was not false. From the perspective of the superiors, movies with a box office of over 10 billion yuan are definitely more important. Even if they cannot break the record, a little more box office revenue is a good political achievement.

In addition, from the company's perspective, if "Seattle" gets postponed, the release date will overlap too much with the similar film "The Left Ear", which is not a good thing.

Zeng Li had no intention of dwelling on this matter and changed the subject to other topics.

"Xiao Jin, Dudu kindergarten is about to start, so we won't go with him for the subsequent filming. We'll just stay at home with Yuanyuan for the next few days. What do you think?"

"Well, that's fine. The following filming locations are relatively scattered and far away. You guys will have to travel back and forth a lot, so it's better not to go."

Wei Jin followed suit and immediately put his hands on her proud place, "But Sister Li, if this happens, we will be separated. Shouldn't we say goodbye tonight?"

After saying this, Wei Jin squatted down without waiting for Zeng Li to reply, hugged the beauty around the waist, and strode towards the bathroom.

This night was both a farewell and a celebration. Zeng Li complied with Wei Jin's requests and tried every possible way.
The sensation caused by this year's Oscars is far from over.

The evening news broadcast on the 25th, local time, spent more than a minute introducing this year's Oscars and the achievements of "Gravity".

The five award winners all appeared in the news, which made countless film and television practitioners envious.

It can be predicted that jobs related to Shanhe Media will definitely be popular in the industry in the future.

Of course, Li An’s "Life of Pi" also appeared on the News Broadcast, but the duration was much shorter.

Although it was not stated explicitly, the official attitude almost confirmed his status as the number one figure in the Chinese film industry during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

The media reporters also wanted to watch the fun and interviewed various directors for their opinions.

Facing the camera of the reporter, Zhang Yimou seemed a little excited.

"Congratulations to Gravity, congratulations to Director Wei, he has set a good example for us Chinese filmmakers, he is the number one Chinese-language filmmaker, he deserves it!

In the future, I believe that more filmmakers and behind-the-scenes workers will go abroad to compete in overseas film markets and film festivals!"

No wonder Zhang Yimou was so excited. He had a special obsession with Oscars. At this moment, he even thought, if he could help Wei Jin carry the camera, wouldn't it be great to win an Oscar?

Feng Dapao was very cunning. After congratulating Wei Jin, he once again mentioned his new film, which would soon start shooting in Hainan.

Others such as Tian Zhuangzhuang, Cao Baoping, Lu Yang, Wu Ershan and others all accepted interviews from the media and expressed their congratulations.

In addition, various associations and organizations involved in behind-the-scenes work in film, such as the Screenwriters Association and the Photography Association, also expressed their congratulations through different channels.

Even the Film Association, which Wei Jin had refused to join many times, sent Vice Chairman Li Shaohong to accept media interviews.

In addition to congratulations, Li Shaohong also once again invited Wei Jin, hoping that the latter could join the association and contribute to Chinese-language films.

Only poet Chen, who was himself mired in doubts, did not even meet with reporters this time, and only asked the company to post a congratulatory message on Weibo.

The same is true in North America, where the media has given extensive coverage to the achievements of Gravity.

"Gravity" was even called "the biggest winner of the Oscars."

A large number of filmmakers, directors, and film and television workers sent their blessings through the media and social software.

The next day's edition of "The Hollywood Reporter" even placed a photo of Wei Jin holding five little golden men at the dinner in the center of the original edition.

An Oriental man led his team to win five golden statues on the Oscar stage. This is a historic moment.

However, Wei Jin ignored all the disturbances from the outside world. After the award ceremony, he led the crew to the next filming location the next day.
