Millennium director

After five years, a Chinese-language film once again won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Before Wu Yuan, a Chinese-language film had already won this honor, and that was Li Yu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Before "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Li Eucalyptus had been nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film with two films, "The Wedding Banquet" and "Eat Drink Man and Woman".

It's just that at that time, this matter was not known or cared about by mainland movie fans.

It wasn't until "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the award that mainland movie fans paid attention to the Oscars.

Then, under the great fanfare of "Hero", this award was crowned a god.

Now, the enthusiasm created by Zhang Weiping and the strong character he created for this award have all come to Wu Yuan's advantage.

In China, the moment Wu Yuan was awarded the statuette, public opinion on the Internet exploded.

Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also won this award, Li Yu is not a mainland director after all. Mainland movie fans still want to see a mainland film win the award.

Now that a mainland director has finally won this award, it must be blown away!

News about Wu Yuan and "Love" winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is everywhere on major film forums, post bars, QQ groups, Douban groups and other online social platforms.

Regardless of whether they have watched the movie or not, netizens are all cheering and calling Director Wu awesome!

It is now noon in Beijing time, which is the busiest time on the Internet. The news of Wu Yuan's award has exploded on the mainland Internet like a depth bomb.

Immediately, his award-winning video spread all over the Internet.

With the release of "Painted Skin", Wu Yuan's enthusiasm, which had just weakened, was once again pushed to a high point.

"Director Wu won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which Zhang Yimou did not win. Does this mean that Director Wu is better than Zhang Yimou?"

"You can't say that. Director Yimou has the Golden Lion and the Golden Bear. He only has the Palme d'Or to complete the three major European Grand Slams."

"But he didn't win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film."

"The Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film isn't that weird, right? Before Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon won the award, I didn't hear how great it was?"

"But director Yimou didn't win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film."

"How awesome is this award, can it be better than the Golden Lion and the Golden Bear?"

"But director Yimou didn't win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film."

On the Internet, at least today, Wu Yuan can be said to have surpassed all the major domestic directors.

Especially Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Weiping's crazy hype about winning the Olympics in "Hero" was a bitter pill, but this time it was all swallowed up by Zhang Yimou.

It's a pity that on today's Oscar Awards night, the light does not belong to Wu Yuan alone.

The perspective returns to the awards ceremony.

After the award for Best Foreign Language Film was awarded, the awards ceremony continued.

Although in China, the award of this award caused a heated sensation, and netizens rushed to tell each other to celebrate Wu Yuan.

But in the eyes of North American audiences, the Best Foreign Language Film Award is just a less important award, because most of them have never seen these nominated films.

In addition to sighing at how young and handsome the award-winning director was, the North American audience's attention was quickly attracted by the other awards that were presented next.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Ziyi also took the stage as a presenter and presented the award for the Best Editing Award.

This year is really a high-spirited year for the International Chapter.

Awards were handed out one after another.

When the award ceremony comes to this point, each award will cause excited shouts from countless audiences on site and in front of the TV.

The Best Actress award went to Reese Witherspoon for "Sing Along."

In 2001, she was nominated for the 59th Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for the romantic comedy film "Legally Blonde".

This time, her performance in the music biopic "Singing with the Song" was finally recognized by the old man of the academy and she was successfully awarded the title of queen.

The Best Actor Award was awarded to Philip Seymour Hoffman.

He successfully became emperor with his outstanding performance in the biopic "Capote".

The Best Actor and Actor awards were all awarded to the leading actors in biographical films. It can also be seen that the old men in the academy prefer biographical films.

It’s no wonder that there are more and more biographical films competing for Austria.

As for the Best Director Award, it was no surprise that Li Yu won it.

When the award presenter Tom Hanks read the name "ANG LEE", all the guests and the audience gave enthusiastic applause, and Li Yu also jumped up and hugged the surrounding crew members.

"This is the first time ANG LEE has won an Oscar and the third time he has been nominated."

The announcer at the scene was introducing Li Eu, but apparently their introduction was not quite right. Li Eu should have been nominated for the fourth time, and also won the Oscar for the second time.

If you narrow it down to the Best Director award he won, it was the first time he was nominated and won.

Obviously, the Oscar staff made a stupid mistake when writing the manuscript.

But no one at the scene cared about this small mistake.

"As the director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," he once won the Best Foreign Language Film Award for Taiwan."

There was another announcement, but Wu Yuan and others from the "Love" crew frowned and were a little dissatisfied.

What does it mean that "For Taiwan" won the Best Foreign Language Film Award?

The United States just likes to inadvertently stir up the tension between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Holding back his unhappiness, Wu Yuan listened carefully to Li Yu's acceptance speech.

Fortunately, the Oscars only dared to tease it like this. When "Love" was announced before, Ang Lee's nominations for the best foreign language film were included in the Chinese films.

Otherwise, it should have been announced at that time that "Love" is the second Chinese film shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film, not the fifth.

"I made this film shortly after my father passed away, so more than anything, I dedicated this film to him."

"Finally, thank you to my family, my mother, and everyone on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places who care about me."

"Thanks!"

Holding the statuette in his hands, Li Eu walked down from the awards stage.

His award also caused quite a stir on the mainland Internet.

After all, when Li Yu gave his acceptance speech, he said a lot of thanks in Chinese.

For simple mainland netizens, their impression of Taiwan is still that of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

If a Taiwanese director can win an Oscar for Best Director, everyone is of course congratulating. Even Wu Yuan's win for Best Foreign Language Film was taken away a lot by Li Eucalyptus.

However, Li Yu's award also means that the Chinese power will stop here tonight.

If you win the best director, you won't have a chance to win the best picture.

In the end, the best picture at this Oscar was won by "Crash". This is a work that is very unfamiliar to mainland movie fans and has not been released in the mainland.

But the heroine of this movie is very familiar to Wu Yuan, she is Sandra Bullock.

Yes, she is the top actress in Hollywood whose luck was cut off by the light era.

When the award presenter announced that "Crash" had won the award, Wu Yuan applauded very hard. When the live camera captured him, the audience in front of the TV was a little surprised.

"Does Director Wu know Paul Haggis, the director of "Crash"?" In the domestic broadcast room, Chen Kaige and Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at each other.

At this point, the 78th Academy Awards ceremony comes to an end.

Although this year's Oscars is not a big year, for Chinese movie fans, it is definitely the most perfect Oscar.

Wu Yuan won the Best Foreign Language Film, Li Yu won the Best Director, and "Memoirs of a Geisha" starring Zhang Ziyi also won three awards for Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Editing!

For domestic movie fans, after watching the entire live broadcast of today's Oscar Awards ceremony, they have the illusion that Chinese-speaking filmmakers have gone global and even become an important part of the world's film industry.

Maybe this is not an illusion.

It’s 10:30 pm Los Angeles time.

The Oscars ceremony is over and the live broadcast has been disconnected, but backstage at the ceremony, there is still a reporter interview waiting for all the award-winning guests.

"Daniel, how do you feel about winning the Best Foreign Language Film award?"

"I'm very happy and excited. This proves that Chinese-language films are becoming more and more international!"

Holding the statuette, Wu Yuan was also surrounded by many reporters backstage.

"Daniel, will "Love" be released in North America? When will it be released?"

"Of course it will be released in North America. It is expected to be in April. By then, North American audiences can also go to the cinema to watch this movie. This is a very profound movie, and I believe many movie fans will like it."

"Okay, can you tell us about your work schedule next year? In addition to "Pirates of the Caribbean", do you have any new Hollywood movies to meet with fans?"

"Yes, "Rush Hour 3" directed by me has just been completed and will be released to the audience at the end of this year or early next year."

“Rush Hour is a series that I don’t need to introduce much. This is Cheng Long’s masterpiece in Hollywood. Fans who like Chinese Kung Fu will definitely fall in love with this sequel!”

One reporter after another kept putting the microphone in front of Wu Yuan to interview him, trying to dig out more news from him.

At this time, a crisp Chinese question and answer came out from the group of reporters.

"Director Wu, congratulations on winning the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film! You have given Chinese cinema a fighting chance!"

A female reporter wearing a CCTV sign struggled to squeeze into the crowd of reporters, raised her hand and asked loudly: "When do you plan to return to China, and when will your science fiction blockbuster "Gravity" officially start filming?"

The female reporter's face showed a somewhat worried look.

She was really afraid that Wu Yuan would become obsessed with the fame and fortune fair of Hollywood and the extravagant and depraved life of the capital empire, so he would focus his work on Hollywood and no longer pay attention to the mainland audience and market.

After all, today's mainland film market and Hollywood are really uncompetitive.

In Hollywood, Wu Yuan wants box office and awards, why should he return to the mainland where the total box office only reaches 2 billion a year?

The total box office in mainland China in one year is not as high as the global box office of Wu Yuan's "Pirates of the Caribbean"!

The reporter himself felt a little embarrassed.

However, when she raised her head and looked into Wu Yuan's eyes, what she saw was a pair of clear and translucent eyes.

Wu Yuan smiled and said also in Chinese: "I have finished all my work in the United States and will return to China in two days."

"There are still many things and work waiting for me to deal with in the country."

"As for "Gravity", it may not be launched until the end of the year, in November or February."

"As the first science fiction blockbuster in Mainland China, this movie is also a very risky attempt for me. Many aspects are done for the first time. The preliminary preparations alone take a long time, so I can't rush it."
