China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 230 Congratulations to Director Chen for winning the Best Foreign Language Film (please subscribe!)
"Oh, can anyone tell me who these handsome men and women with oriental faces are?"

"I know that beautiful lady. She seems to be the dream builder in "Inception". Damn it, she is even more beautiful in person!"

"Yes David, I very much agree with your point of view, but unfortunately, she seems to already have a wife, and the man she is looking for is still a pretty boy."

"What a pretty boy...don't you know he is a very powerful Chinese director?"

"Awesome? How awesome? Choms, don't make me laugh at you."

"The movie he made won the Golden Lion Award at last year's Venice Film Festival, and "Inception" was also shot by him and Nolan..."

"Stop, brother, no introduction is needed, this Chinese man is very handsome! By the way, what is his name?"

"The Chinese name is Chen Dong."

Chen Dong and his wife walked through the red carpet and entered the award ceremony venue amid countless shots and some doubtful looks.

The venue was large enough to accommodate thousands of people. In addition to the crew members who came to compete, more of them were actually members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Unlike other film festivals, Oscar awards are determined by votes from these academy members.

Zhang Ziyi is one of the few members of Chinese actors, and she is also here tonight.

And after seeing Chen Dong and Liu Yifei walking into the venue, they immediately came up to say hello.

"Director Chen, Yi Fei, wow! Your couple outfits are really eye-catching."

"Thank you, senior sister, you are also dressed beautifully today."

When it comes to mutual support in business, although Liu Yifei is not good at it, it does not mean that she is not good at it.

"Director Chen, "Kan'er" is wonderful. I also gave this movie my vote. I hope you can hold a trophy again tonight."

"Haha, thank you, Senior Sister Zhang, for lending me your good words."

"Director Chen, you're welcome. I wonder if Director Chen and Yi Fei are busy? I'll be the host tonight and let's all get together?"

Faced with the olive branch that Zhang Ziyi extended after first offering a piece of honey, to be honest, it was really hard to refuse.

Chen Dong and his wife looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

The red carpet started at four o'clock, and now at six o'clock, the awards ceremony finally started.

Compared with other film festivals, the Oscar awards are relatively large, with a total of 24 awards.

Although it has huge influence around the world, it is not essentially an international film festival, and it is not divided into 'units' sections.

That’s why there is a special award for Best Foreign Language Film!
However, Oscar also follows the principle of starting from small to large.

The first award awarded was the Best Documentary Short Film, which was awarded to "Smiling Pinki".

Then came Best Documentary Feature, Best Editing, Best Costume Design... Best Score.

Next up is Best Foreign Language Film.

Not only was Chen Dong sitting upright, but so were several directors sitting in the row with him who were also nominated for this award.

Liu Yifei noticed Chen Dong's nervousness and grabbed his hand.

Chen Dong turned around and met his wife's gentle eyes.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded slightly to her.

The winner for Best Supporting Actor was "Slumdog Millionaire," which is also a strong contender for Best Picture at this year's Oscars.

After the person in charge of the other party's soundtrack came on stage to accept the award and left the stage after saying his speech, the host Hugh Jackman picked up the microphone and announced that the award to be awarded next was the best foreign language film.

On the big screen, shortlisted movies such as "Kan'er", "The Embalmer", "Revenge", "Between the Walls"... flashed back and forth.

Not only did it create suspense, it also touched the hearts of the film directors in the audience.

Finally, with a bang, the big screen froze.

It's not "The Embalmer" or "Revenge", it's "Kan'er" which just won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival last year.

"Congratulations to "Kan'er", and congratulations to Chen, a young director from a big Eastern country. Please come on stage to receive the award."

Although he wanted to pretend to be calm, Chen Dong could not hide his excitement. After hugging his wife, he stepped onto the stage. After receiving the trophy, Chen Dong stood in front of the microphone at the host's signal. His eyes swept across the faces of the rows of bosses in the audience until they landed on his wife, who was even more excited than him, and smiled slightly. , moved his mouth closer to the microphone, and began to speak about his acceptance speech.

"To receive this award, first of all I want to thank my wife..."

The awards ceremony was also broadcast live simultaneously.

Although it is not easy for Chinese people to watch this live broadcast, it is actually not that difficult.

Many acquaintances of Chen Dong are paying attention.

For example, Han Shanping, Jiang Wen, Ning Hao...

"This guy turned his acceptance speech into a dog-food show again. It's really hateful!"

In recent years, many Chinese-language films have been nominated for Oscars, such as "Ju Dou", "Raise the Red Lantern", "Farewell My Concubine", "The Wedding Banquet", "Eat Drink Couple" and "Hero".

But very few actually win awards.

"Kan'er" is the second part.

The first one is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li Eucalyptus.

No wonder Li Yu is very famous in this era.

Because the movies he made have indeed won many awards internationally.

Chen Dong has won two Golden Lion Awards, two Golden Bear Awards at the Berlin Film Festival, American Oscars, Global Awards, including the Golden Horse Awards in China's Wanwan Province, and the Hong Kong Film Awards... He brushed them all over again.

But it didn't win a Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

I don’t know if I want to save some face for Poet Chen...

Far away.

Back to this Oscars scene.

Chen Dong confessed to his wife, no, after giving his acceptance speech, he walked off the stage with the trophy.

"When it comes to your acceptance speech, just say it properly. Why are you speaking so disgustingly?" She complained, but in fact, Miss Liu was quite sweet in her heart.

Chen Dong did not expose his wife and handed over the trophy with a smile.

"Did you give it to me?"

"I asked you to keep it safe."

"Huh...just give it to me."

While the couple was bickering quietly, the next prize had been announced.

Best Supporting Actress went to Penélope Cruz for "Midnight in Barcelona".

Best Supporting Actor went to Heath Ledger for "The Dark Knight."

Anne Hathaway did not win this Oscar.

Best Actress was won by Kate Winslet for "The Reader".

The best actor is Sean Penn, who starred in the movie "Milk".

The biggest winner tonight is Danny Boyle and his Slumdog Millionaire.

This film, adapted from Asan's novel of the same name, tells the story of an orphan, Ram Muhammad Thomas, who won a grand prize of 10 billion rupees in a TV quiz show, but the TV quiz organizers thought he cheated.

……

"Congratulations to the film "Kan'er" directed by my country's Chen Dong for winning the Best Foreign Language Film Award at this year's 81st Academy Awards!"

"Director Chen Dong's romantic 'confession' to his wife at the Oscars ceremony moved Liu Yifei to tears."

"This is the first time a mainland director from my country has won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!"

"Congratulations……"
