Chapter 288 As Expected of Wu Yuchen, He Succeeds in One Move!

Gong Li did not look like a newcomer accepting an award on stage. She was very graceful. After all, she was a woman who had won many awards on European podiums.

"I am very honored to receive this award for my performance in the movie "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". I remembered that my mother taught me when I was 17 not to care about other people's eyes, to be brave and do my best and strive to pursue my ideals. At this moment, standing here, I think my mother should be proud of me!"

Friendly applause and cheers suddenly rang out from the audience.

After a little quiet, Gong Li continued: "This award does not only belong to me, but also to many people in the audience. Thank you Director Wu Yuchen, thank you every member of the crew, and those who have helped me on my film journey, thank you!"

Old Mouzi clapped his hands vigorously. Without asking, he knew that Gong Li's last words were for him, which touched him.

As soon as Gong Li won the award, it was transmitted to the Chinese land thousands of miles away through the Internet.

"Gong Li won the award! Best Supporting Actress!"

"Gong Li won the Oscar. Now she has won all the major awards!"

"Didn't Wu Yuchen predict that the two Chinese-language films would win a total of 5 awards? Now they have won 3. I wonder if it will exceed 5?"

"Director Wu's prediction is quite accurate. It would be good to win 5. Best Foreign Language Film is more likely. I don't know which award will be the winner of the remaining one."

At the same time, many people were sitting in front of the TV, watching the "Directly to the Oscars" program specially opened by the Sixth Princess. Television programs are definitely delayed compared to the Internet. A few minutes later, the host announced to everyone excitedly:

"According to on-site news, our actress Gong Li won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 75th Academy Awards for her outstanding performance in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. This is also the first actor in our country to win the Academy Award for Performance! Let us congratulate Gong Li!"

These days, the coverage of television is much stronger than that of the Internet. The news that Gong Li won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress spread all over the country. Word of mouth spread quickly, attracting more people to turn on the TV to watch.

In Los Angeles, the Oscars are still in progress. At this time, Hollywood's top actress Julia Roberts came on stage and said with a smile:

"It is an honor to present the Best Cinematography Award. I think this is an excellent honor, because without the lens, there is no movie!"

Under the stage, Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi were both alert. Both "The Hours" and "Hero" were shortlisted for this award.

"The winner is... Christopher Doyle, Hero!"

Amidst the applause, Zhang Yimou happily hugged a foreigner. Christopher Doyle is actually a foreigner from Australia, but he grew up in Hong Kong Island to become a top photographer, and basically won all the Chinese photography awards.

On the other side, John Woo also gave friendly applause. The plot of Hero may have many flaws, but its pictures and photography have really reached an extremely high level. Many beautiful shots are unforgettable, and it is indeed worthy of an Oscar.

In the next Best Documentary Award, the winner is Bowling for Columbine, a documentary about American shootings and gun control. This is not the point. The point is that the director is quite tough. He directly criticized Brad Pitt on the podium:

"I love documentaries. I don't like fictional stories. I don't like living in fictional lies. Let our fictional elections elect fictional leaders, and he uses fictional reasons to send us to the battlefield!

Brad Pitt, we oppose this war! We are ashamed of you! When you hear so many voices of opposition, you should know that your time is running out!"

To be honest, although everyone in Hollywood is against the war, no one dares to criticize as fiercely and bluntly as this guy, so that the organizers had to quickly play the curtain call music and urge him to leave the stage quickly, for fear that he would shout out something more outrageous.

Afterwards, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women came on stage. The woman was Charlize Theron, known as the "South African Diamond", and the man was actor John Lone, one of the representatives of Chinese actors in Hollywood. The award presented by these two actors together was naturally the Best Foreign Language Film Award!

Zun Long smiled and said, "There are different movies all over the world, and movies in different languages ​​will make people experience the world's great differences!"

Charlize Theron then said directly, "The following are the candidates for this year's best foreign language film..."

Five candidate movies flashed one after another, first from China's "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" and "Hero", the other three are Mexico's "The Sins of Father Amaro", Finland's "The Man Without a Past", and Germany's "Nowhere at Home".

When it was time to open the envelope, South African Diamond made a gesture of invitation to Zun Long. She knew very well that the reason why Zun Long was arranged as the award presenter for the best foreign language film this time was because there were two Chinese films, and they were likely to win the award, so Charlize Theron deliberately asked Zun Long to announce it.

At this time, the directors of several crews were fully alert. Lao Mouzi was also a little nervous. Although he knew that Wu Yuchen's "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" was the most likely to win, it was not impossible for him and "Hero". After all, they had already won two awards before, which showed that many judges were optimistic about "Hero". And in terms of the theme of the movie, "Hero" ultimately expressed the reduction of war and the pursuit of world peace, which was also anti-war!

At this time, Wu Yuchen was the most calm. After all, he had participated in the Oscars several times and had won the Best Foreign Language Film. Naturally, he could remain calm.

Zunlong opened the envelope, took out the note, glanced at it, and announced to the microphone:

"Best Foreign Language Film... China, "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"!"

Suddenly, Lao Mouzi felt a sense of disappointment in his chest, but it was not very strong. After all, he had expected it before coming, and he was clapping his hands to congratulate his compatriots.

On the other side, the crew of "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" was already in a state of joy, and Huang Xiaoming was hugging people around him excitedly.

At this time, Liu Xixi was sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast of the Oscars. Since SARS had already broken out in China and schools had begun to suspend classes, Liu Xiaoli took her daughter abroad to "take refuge" and wait until SARS was over before returning. Therefore, Liu Xixi could directly watch the Oscars live on ABC TV.

Seeing Wu Yuchen stand up and hug several people around him one after another, and seeing her good friend Shu Chang at the Oscars, celebrating with Huang Xiaoming next to him, Liu Xixi showed envy, Chang Chang even made it to the Oscars!

Although the segment of "The Story of a Noble Family" starring her has already started to be broadcast, and because people were watching TV at home due to SARS, it has achieved extremely high ratings, but can this be compared with the Oscars?

A moment later, Wu Yuchen had already strode onto the podium. Charlize Theron took the initiative to hand Wu Yuchen the little golden man. She would not give this opportunity to contact Director Wu to Zun Long again.

Then South African Diamond gave another hug: "Director Wu, congratulations! This is really an excellent movie. I have watched it more than once and cried every time!"

Wu Yuchen smiled and nodded to Charlize Theron, and thanked Zun Long who congratulated him, and then walked to the microphone:

"I am really happy to get this award! This movie means a lot to me. It is an elegy that I and the crew send to my motherland and the Chinese nation during that tragic war era, and all those who have experienced suffering. I don't want anyone to be hurt by war again!"

Wu Yuchen's words echoed in the hall, and immediately welcomed applause and cheers. Everyone knows that "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is a typical anti-war movie full of delicate emotions. At the moment when the Iraq War broke out, it is more appropriate to win the Best Foreign Language Film.

"This award not only belongs to me, but also to every member of the crew! Thank you..."

Then, it was Wu Yuchen who began to express his gratitude in various ways.

At this time, the Sixth Princess had also received the news, and the host excitedly shouted to the camera:

"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas! Best Foreign Language Film! The Best Foreign Language Film belongs to China!"

Then, the host adjusted his mood and returned to the official broadcast:

"The 75th Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film was won by our film "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". This is also the second time that Director Wu Yuchen has won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for a Chinese film after "Love"! Let us congratulate Director Wu Yuchen! Congratulations to "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"!"

At this moment, many people who were trapped at home because of SARS were communicating enthusiastically on the Internet:

"Hahaha, the Best Foreign Language Film was won! It's really worthy of Wu Yuchen, he got it as soon as he made a move!"

"Congratulations to Director Wu! One person won two Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film for China, it's amazing!"

"Hahaha, with this, there are already 5 little golden men for Chinese films, reaching the goal Wu Yuchen said!"

"Alas, it's Zhang Yimou and "English" "It is a pity." "What a pity! "I have watched it in the United States." Boys in striped pajamas "are 10,000 times stronger than" Heroes "! I cry to death! My Xixi and Xiaochun! The little days of killing! The traitor is damn!" "I envy you! I don't know when it can be released in China. The cinema sneak shot, I do n’t recommend everyone to watch piracy. "" Which great god quickly passed HD to the Internet! "

In the program "Directly from the Oscars", a lot of information about "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is being introduced at this moment, as well as many behind-the-scenes stories they dug up during the filming. Although the movie has not been released yet, it has really whetted everyone's appetite, full!

After Wu Yuchen stepped down, the next award was still related to him, the best editing.

"The winner of the best film editing... "The Hours"!"

Wu Yuchen immediately led the crew of "The Hours" to applaud. In fact, he himself did not care much about this award, but "The Hours" was nominated for the fifth time, and it finally started to win awards, which was a relief for the crew.

After a performance, Halle Berry, the black pearl of the last Oscar, came on stage to present the best actor.

As Wu Yuchen expected, this year's best actor was won by Adrien Brody of "The Pianist". Putting aside the blessing of Jewish power, his performance was really great. At the age of 29 this year, he also became the youngest Oscar winner.

At this time, Nicole Kidman, who was sitting next to Wu Yuchen, began to get nervous. With the awarding of the Best Song and a Lifetime Achievement Award, the Oscar for Best Actress, which she had been working hard for for several years, was coming!

Black actor Denzel Washington came up and said without a word: "The list of candidates for this year's Oscar for Best Actress is as follows..."

Jennifer Connelly watched the big screen playing her performance clips and maintained an elegant smile. She knew that she had no hope this year, so she could only show her demeanor at this time.

Wu Yuchen looked at the nominated Diane Lane and "Unfaithful". This is also a very charming beauty with a good figure. She really exposed a lot in this "Unfaithful" and acted very well. Because of her, Wu Yuchen watched this movie more than once in his previous life.

The playback ended, and the exciting moment came: "The Best Actress is... Nicole Kidman, "The Hours"!"

Nicole Kidman couldn't hold it anymore, covered her mouth, and then immediately showed a very bright smile. Facing the hug from Wu Yuchen, she kissed Wu Yuchen on both sides of his face and said excitedly in his ear:

"Wu, thank you so much! I will never forget your help to me!"

Wu Yuchen patted her smooth back gently and said with a smile: "Nicole, this is what you deserve. Go, now is your moment~"

On the other side of Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Connelly, who had previously wrestled with Nicole Kidman on the bed in private, also gave her a hug. Nicole Kidman also hugged her and smiled and said something. To the audience, they were like good sisters with deep sisterly love!
