Chapter 433 Oscar (2)
The most highly regarded and valuable award in the human world must be the Nobel Prize.
For a long time in the past, some Chinese people had a special feeling about the Nobel Prize.
During that time, China had just experienced the GG opening up and its economy was taking off rapidly. It didn't take long for China to surpass Japan and become the world's second largest economy.
When basic material needs are met, the Chinese nation begins to pursue higher levels of satisfaction, such as national pride and world recognition.
Winning the Nobel Prize will undoubtedly greatly satisfy this need. Therefore, many people in the country at that time only looked at the Nobel Prize, thinking that it was proof of the country's prosperity.
After all, one or two people in Japan next door win awards every year, but China has no results, but it doesn't look good.
However, as the times progress, people gradually discover that the Nobel Prize is not as good as imagined.
At least for China, it is not as fair and just as it is for Westerners.
But after all, it is the most valuable award. After a Chinese writer won the Nobel Prize the year before last, the whole country was still jubilant.
After achieving zero breakthrough, people's attention turned to other awards.
Breaking down the categories into the entertainment industry, the Oscars are undoubtedly the crown jewel of human entertainment awards.
Perhaps the awards at the three major film festivals are equally valuable, but when it comes to film awards, the first thing most people think of is the Oscars.
There is no way, because this is an award reported by Americans, and for nearly fifty years, the United States has maintained the world's cultural vane.
Not only the Oscars are to movies, but also the Grammys are to music, and the Emmys are to TV series.
Due to cultural reasons, entertainment in Asia has never been understood by the West, so it has not won many awards.
Japan is slightly better. After all, it has produced many outstanding people, especially the deceased director Shirasui Ryosuke.
Before Luo Quan was born, he was the most popular star in Japan.
The films he shot used many very advanced techniques at the time, whether it was the use of light and shadow, or the movement of the camera, which inspired a series of descendants.
His works led the trend of an era and brought Eastern movies into the world of movies. He was known as the Emperor of Movies!
Having achieved so many achievements, he also undisputedly won the heavyweight Oscar for lifetime achievement.
Currently, only four people in Asia have won such awards, two from Japan and only one from China.
In fact, there are not many people in China who have won Oscars. However, WW has a talented director who has won many Oscars, including awards such as Best Director and Best Foreign Language Film.
It's a pity that the movie was not invested by Chinese people and can only be regarded as a Chinese-language movie.
An Oscar that truly belongs to the Chinese people has yet to appear.
Including Luo Quan, who has already been nominated this time, even if she wins, the song will be in English, and it will be the theme song of "The Lord of the Rings".
I don’t know when a complete Oscar that belongs to the Chinese people will appear.
But everyone knows that Luo Quan has brought glory to the country this time.
As the most popular star nowadays, the news that Luo Quan was nominated for an Oscar quickly became a hot topic in various countries.
In the introduction about her in the news, the message "Chinese singer" is written clearly, which can be said to show the world China's fruitful achievements in entertainment.
However, from the lyrics of the song to the appearance of the singer, except for Luo Quan, there is really no trace of anything related to China.
But this is the song sung by the Chinese people, and it is likely to win an award, so it is already worthy of everyone's joy.
So when the horoscope was still in the air, the domestic media had already begun to report aggressively, saying that Luo Quan's talent had finally been recognized by the Oscar judges, that he had been nominated, and that the probability of winning the award was quite high.
What's more, the ownership of the award has been decided and will be sent directly to Luo Quan without any suspense.
People who eat melons must feel comfortable watching it, but this gives Luo Quan a headache.
The media always likes to use this method to attract traffic, but they have no idea what the consequences will be if their claims are blown.
It would be okay if she won the award, but it would be strange if she didn't get ridiculed!
The key point is that she doesn't dare to say anything right now. If the media stops bragging for her, criticism will come soon:
How can you win an award if you have no confidence in yourself?
Everyone is helping you build momentum!
…………
Just very helpless.
Although Luo Quan herself feels that winning the award is a sure thing, there is always a chance that she won't win. She rarely brags until the matter is settled.
However, after blowing it off, no matter how much you try to fix it, it won’t help.
Thinking about it from another angle, the domestic media is praising her so hard now. If she wins the award, won’t her status and popularity rise steadily?
At least it's not entirely a bad thing.
Moreover, the Grammy Awards will be held soon after the Oscars, and that is her home field. Luo Quan had already set a small goal for the series in his mind before that: no matter what, he must win five awards.
Think of it now as a warm-up for the highlight moments to come.
In addition, when the Oscar organizers were nominating, they also invited her to be the opening performer.
At this star-studded moment, any star who can perform as an opening performer will be of great help to his career.
Even if she was as popular as she was, it would be impossible to refuse such an invitation.
After all, everyone wants to make their resume look better, right?
On the afternoon of the Oscars ceremony, Luo Quan was picked up from the hotel by a special car sent by Universal and sent to the red carpet outside the Dolby Theater with his brother Leon.
Lyon didn't have any film work last year. In the second half of the year, he was filming Titanic, and even commercial films were pushed a lot.
But even so, his popularity is still the most popular among young male stars around the world, and this time he was also invited to attend the ceremony.
Both siblings don't like makeup. Today, one is wearing a dark purple dress and the other is wearing a crisp suit.
As soon as he got off the car, Liu attracted everyone's attention.
The two walked side by side and did not interact with each other like other male and female guests.
But it's not without impact.
The two are still the most beautiful couple on the planet. After walking on the red carpet, the sound of flashing lights never stopped.
The Oscars red carpet has never been a smooth road.
When many female stars were on it, they would fall to the ground while walking, causing the reporters on the scene to scream and murder their eyeballs and film rolls.
Then it won’t be long before it becomes a hot topic in the news, such as a certain star fell down on the Oscar red carpet.
In addition to this method, there are also other methods such as sticking around, dressing boldly, and having some stories with male guests.
In short, how to attract attention is how to do it.
The melon-eating public is also happy to watch these actresses’ works.
It’s human nature to like to watch the excitement.
In comparison, Luo Quan's journey can be said to be smooth and stable, because her high heels are only three centimeters and the heels are very wide.
Not to mention walking, even running can be done smoothly.
She only stopped briefly when she reached the middle of the red carpet, took a photo with Leon, and then walked to the Dolby Theater.
She has already passed the stage of using this method as a means of publicity.
Not only is it ineffective, it can even easily lead to negative reviews.
After all, big names have to act like big names.
Besides, if she really wanted to stir up the topic, she could just reach out and put her arm around Leon.
If this picture were to come out, the reporters on the scene would probably press the shutter button immediately.
In less than half an hour, this scene will appear on the front pages of major newspapers and media.
“Forbidden Love,” “German Orthopedics,” and “Genuine British Court” should be the most common related news headlines in China.
Luo Quan doesn't know what will happen next. It is estimated that their old father will make a series of fatal calls to Leon as soon as possible. After arriving in the United States, he will let him know what it means to be a father like a landslide.
A certain unscrupulous sister who had deceived her younger brother in her imagination gradually showed a smile on her lips.
"What are you thinking about? Are you so happy?" Leon felt a chill go down his back when he saw his elder sister suddenly showing a malicious smile.
When I smile like this, someone will always be in trouble.
The last time I saw this smile was Hank. That guy is still lying peacefully in the hospital, and his father is already in jail.
Luo Quan came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's nothing, I thought of something happy."
"You don't think this Oscar is guaranteed, do you?" Leon laughed, "Those judges don't like commercial films the most, especially commercial blockbusters like this.
If you don't incorporate some social satire, political metaphors, and in-depth thinking, it's probably not that difficult to win an award. "
"Go away!" Luo Quan glared at his younger brother, "Crow's mouth, don't you expect me to be kind?"
Leon shrugged helplessly and said: "I'm just telling the truth. In fact, even though the Titanic I acted in has been very impressive to me, it is actually a commercial film. Whether it can win an award or not is still up for grabs."
"Then the movie will definitely win the award." Luo Quan's tone was quite confident, even more confident than whether he could win the award today.
Just kidding, that's "Titanic", one of the masterpieces that has won the most Oscars, tied with "Ben-Hur".
At that time, when filming "Ben-Hur", most of the nobles from Europe were invited. The cast was so powerful that it is impossible to replicate it now.
"Titanic" set box office records for more than ten years and spawned countless famous quotes and scenes.
"You are more optimistic than me." Leon smiled.
The film is now almost complete and could be released at the end of this summer soon.
However, Seifert had vaccinated him. No matter how wonderful his performance was in the movie this time, even if the movie won an award, the possibility of him winning the award was very low.
The Oscars don't like commercial films, but they don't like young movies either.
His good looks that charm millions of girls will be the biggest obstacle on his way to winning awards, so don’t expect to become the youngest actor in film history with this movie.
This is more difficult than asking Luo Quan to film a nude scene!
Although Lyon felt that the two things were not comparable in terms of technical difficulty, he still felt the pressure.
Although I was clearly told that there was a high probability that I would not win the award, but who could not be tempted by being the leading actor in such a good movie?
The opportunity to become the youngest actor ever to win an Oscar is before him, and he must consider whether this will be his only chance in this life.
Therefore, if possible, he is really eager to win this actor.
The two had their own concerns, but they still walked into the Dolby Theater talking and laughing.
There are quite a lot of big names coming to the scene today, and many of them are living fossils who are no longer on the big screen. Only a grand event like the Oscars can invite them to the scene.
Compared with the achievements of these seniors, Luo Quan and Lyon can be said to be pink newcomers in the true sense.
It's a pity that both of them are relatively autistic in the industry. Looking around, at the star-studded Oscar ceremony, there were not many acquaintances in sight.
But it doesn't matter. The two of them don't need to use acquaintances to introduce them to expand their so-called connections.
You still need to be strong enough to make iron work. In the vanity fair of Hollywood, no matter how big your connections are, you can't compare to your ability.
With fame, others will come close to you.
So after the two of them sat down, they basically talked about themselves.
When the opening was about to begin, Luo Quan received a call and was called backstage to prepare for the opening performance.
She had prepared this song a few days ago and sent it to the Oscar organizers, and everyone who listened to it said it was good.
Soon, guests from all walks of life were seated, and everyone became quiet when the host came to the front.
After a simple greeting and thanks, the host announced that this Oscar ceremony has officially begun.
"Now, I would like to invite the opening guest Luo Quan to bring you a new song - "The Sound of Silence"!" (PS. Title of the song "The Sound of Silence", original singer Paul Simon)
After a transition, Luo Quan sat in the center of the stage with a microphone.
There are no backup dancers, no gorgeous stage effects, just a stool, a person, and a microphone.
The accompaniment sounded softly, and she raised the microphone and sang an ethereal voice that touched people's hearts:
Hello darkness my old friend
I'm here to talk to you again
Because there is an illusion coming to me quietly
left its seeds while I was sleeping
……………………
The Oscars should be the most flashy vanity fair in the world. It is filled with desire and impetuosity from the entire era. The stars present carry the fantasy and pursuit of glamor and glamor for all mankind.
But at this time, Luo Quan's singing brought unparalleled tranquility to everyone.
This was a peace they had never experienced before. It was like being in a valley, and all the disputes and pain in the world disappeared.
What's on my mind is no longer whether I can meet a few more big guys today or whether I can date a few more beautiful actresses.
My head has been completely empty, as if my soul has been sublimated.
"You are truly an angel of music."
At this moment, I don’t know how many people felt this way in their hearts.
