Although Jiang Xiao did not go to the event because he was afraid of trouble, he did watch the live broadcast of the Oscars ceremony online and wanted to see whether "The Years" won the award.

If so, it would be a little surprise for the New Year, right?

The live broadcast started soon, and the host was naturally the first to appear. His name was Neil Patrick Harris, a gay man who had already been completely open to the outside world. He even had two children.

As for how two men gave birth to two babies, it seems that they found someone to carry them as a surrogate.

The other party is a host and an actor. Domestic audiences may not be familiar with his name, but when they talk about the real-life male lead in "The Smurfs", they will probably have some impression.

This guy started singing as soon as he appeared, mixed with all kinds of jokes about the nominated movies, and even cueing Juan Fu and others on the spot.

Halfway through, another girl joined in. She looked familiar, but Jiang Xiao really didn’t recognize him. They started singing together with Neil Patrick Harris. After singing for a while, fat Jack Black also rushed onto the stage from the audience to join in singing.

middle.

I also elaborated on it a bit, roughly saying that some movies make a lot of compromises in order to "just" get the money in China. "Transformation 4" is definitely the most unscrupulous in this regard. The key is that it really "just" gets the money.

The three people relayed together to complete the opening performance, and then began to award awards for the best supporting actor.

Five actors including "The Incredible Hulk" participated in the competition, all of them white. The award was given to last year's supporting actress, a black girl, who will play Black Panther's girlfriend in the future "Black Panther".

In the end, J.K. Simmons of "Crack Drummer" won the award, but there were no people of color nominated. It was so unfair, and I wasn't afraid to protest, eh...

After awarding this award, the host Neil Patrick Harris did not continue to present awards for the time being, and then Liam Neeson took the stage to introduce the two movies nominated for Best Picture.

This session...is going to take longer, right?

After that, the elder sister of the Fanning sisters, the female lead in "Fifty Shades of Grey", went on stage to introduce the music and lead to a singing performance, and the duration was increased again?

After that, the awards continued. The awards for Best Costume Design and Best Styling and Makeup were also awarded one after another. I won’t go into details, but the awards were all awarded to “The Grand Budapest Hotel”.

Until Neil Patrick Harris continued to invite Nicole Kidman and "Black Panther" Chadwick Boseman, Jiang Xiao also raised his attention. The former was in the latter's

It's really white and glowing against the background.

Well, that's not the point. The award they want to present is the Best Foreign Language Film, and it will arrive very soon. It will be announced in the first half hour.

When the two came to the microphone in the middle of the stage, Chadwick Boseman spoke first and said directly: "Every time we see the news, we always see various borders dividing us, national borders, cultures

, creed, race.”

"But in the dark cinema, these boundaries no longer exist. There is no difference between our laughter and tears, because movies have no national boundaries and belong to all mankind."

The latter sentence was spoken by Nicole Kidman. Each person said one sentence, and it was obviously a written "line".

This trick may be followed by domestic award ceremonies. Have you ever seen that every time awards are given in China, the stars who present the awards are allowed to perform on their own? The effect is simply embarrassing for the stars themselves and for the audience. If they can use humor, they can control the atmosphere of everyone in the audience.

Absolutely very few.

After all, I didn’t know what to say when I was on stage, so I was quite nervous.

Putting all this aside, after Chadwick Boseman added the sentence "Here are the nominations for Best Foreign Language Film" after Nicole Kidman's words, the nominations for the five movies were played on the big screen.

Come.

The first film is Poland's "Sister Ida", directed by Paul Pawlikowski, and the biggest winner at last year's European Film Festival.

The second film is Russia's "Leviathan", directed by Andrei Zyagintsev. This film seems to be also this year... no, let's say last year. It won the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival last year.

The third film is "Golden Orange" from Estonia, directed by Zaza Urushadze.

The fourth film is "Timbuktu" from Mauritania, directed by Adelaman Sissako.

The fifth film is of course China's "Nian Hua", directed by Lin Shi.

Jiang Xiao also saw himself appearing on the movie screen.

"The Oscar winner is..."

After the nominations for the five movies were released, the camera returned to Nicole Kidman and Chadwick Boseman. The former also opened the envelope in his hand while speaking, and raised it to the middle with the latter.

They looked at it together, and without much pause, they announced: ""years"."

"Chinese film, directed by Lin."

"call!"

When he saw Nicole Kidman and Chadwick Boseman announcing the final results one by one, Jiang Xiao, who was in front of the computer, also let out a soft breath.

At the last moment, he was not calm enough to feel any psychological fluctuations or tension.

This time it was really a surprise.

"Years" is the English title of "Years". I didn't expect it to win an award.

Subconsciously, Jiang Xiao clenched his fist in front of the computer.

After all, the movie was made by Lemon and he starred in it, breaking the historical record of mainland movies.

Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has already won the Best Foreign Language Film, it does not seem to be in the name of China. Jiang Xiao has not verified it, so he can only say that it seems to be.

Furthermore, director Li Yu is a Chinese, yes, but he is also an American, so even if "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the award, there was still a kind of embarrassment mixed in, like being forced to cover up one's shame.

The current "Years" are of course of pure "blood" and were all produced by Chinese filmmakers.

In short, Jiang Xiao finally saw the figures of Lin Shi and Zhou Xun appear on the computer screen, and their seats were relatively back.

I don’t know if he’s going to go... will he arrange to go to the front?

Both of them stood up now, and the latter even gave the former a hug. They both looked very excited, after all, they had won the award.

After that, Lin Shi began to take the stage alone. During the process, the announcer behind the scenes also mentioned how many Chinese films had been nominated, as well as the first Chinese film to be nominated, Lao Mouzi's "A Dou".

But there is also some vagueness. The award-winning "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was not mentioned, obviously for fear of causing unnecessary controversy. After all, the Chinese market is paying more and more attention to it, and Hollywood has begun to need the Chinese market. It is no different from the indifferent attitude it had in 2000.

.

"Transformers 4" has a box office of more than 1 billion, exceeding 250 million US dollars, which is higher than the North American box office. This seems to be the first time that the box office of a Hollywood blockbuster in a single market can exceed that of North America. Everyone can see it.

"Act of Valor" even pushed China's box office to a ceiling of nearly $600 million.

Returning to the awards ceremony, Lin Shi successfully entered the stage and took the statuette from Nicole Kidman, and politely shook hands with the latter and Chadwick Boseman respectively.

Accepting congratulations and the like.

Then the two took two steps back, leaving the stage to Lin Shi.

The latter was obviously still a little excited. He waited for a while before speaking the first sentence: "Wow, life is full of surprises!"

These words also made many Hollywood filmmakers in the audience chuckle knowingly.

With the beginning, although Lin Shi was still a little excited, he was not speechless or stuttered.

He quickly continued to say: "Thank you to Jiang Xiao, the star of "The Years", who is also the producer of this film. It is because of his full support and help that "The Years" appeared. Thank you!"

"I would also like to thank all the actors and staff of the "Years" crew, and also thank the Oscar organizing committee...Thank you..."

Anyway, these were quite normal speeches. After finishing, Lin, Nicole Kidman and Chadwick Boseman were led backstage by an Oscar staff member, and the award ceremony went naturally.

continue.

However, Jiang Xiao, who was in front of the computer, had no intention of reading any more. After all, the only one he cared about, "Hua Nian", had already come to an end, and it was a great end.

Nowadays, the Internet is so developed, and with the nomination of "The Years", many Chinese media have specially flown to the United States to pay attention to this Oscar, and accordingly, the news of the award will be sent back to China soon.
Chapter completed!
