Millennium director

"Los Angeles News - Chinese film "Gravity" won the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the 82nd Academy Awards held in Los Angeles!"

"Gong Li burst into tears at the scene. Her acceptance speech was very sincere. Thank you Wu Yuan for choosing her to star in this movie!"

"Wang Xueqi thanked Wu Yuan on the spot and said that Wu Yuan is the best director he has ever worked with!"

""Gravity" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Director Wu Yuan sprinkled sweets on the spot and kissed his girlfriend Liu Yifei passionately!"

When Quentin announced that "Gravity" had won the award, almost at the same time, a large number of live news was sent back to China through the CCTV press team.

It can be said that every move of the creators of "Gravity" is reported in China in real time.

In the Sina live broadcast room, which has been live broadcasting simultaneously with text, domestic movie fans who follow the Oscars are even more excited.

Although Wu Yuan has already won the Best Foreign Language Film Award once, domestic movie fans can't get enough of this kind of thing about bringing glory to the country abroad.

In addition, apart from Wu Yuan, both Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige have failed several times in their bids for the Oscars, which makes them feel that the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is very valuable.

The award that Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige couldn't win was easily won by Wu Yuan.

Could it be said that Wu Yuan is more powerful than Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige?

If this question had been asked five years ago, or even three years ago, it might have caused a lot of controversy.

Although Wu Yuan has achieved great results in Hollywood, the three "Pirates of the Caribbean" films have been global hits, and "Rush Hour 3" has also done very well at the box office.

But in the eyes of domestic movie fans, especially those who have experienced the era when awards were king in the 1990s and the first decade of 2000, if you don't have heavyweight awards, you are not considered the top director.

This idea is instilled in the public by the fifth and sixth generation directors in China.

Even if directors such as Jia Zhangke and Wang Xiaoshuai fail to sell their films at the box office, because they have won awards frequently in Europe, they are all undisputed great directors in terms of domestic publicity.

Directors like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, who won the Palme d'Or, the Golden Lion, and the Golden Bear when domestic films were in decline, are at the top, and no one can shake their status.

However, the domestic reputation situation has been different in the past two years.

On the one hand, the domestic box office market is getting better and better. There are more and more movies with a box office of over 100 million, 200 million, and 300 million. The domestic promotion caliber has also shifted from focusing on awards to focusing on box office.

In terms of box office, Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou are tied together, but they don't have as much box office as Wu Yuan.

On the other hand, Wu Yuan also won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film in Venice last year. In terms of the gold content of the award, it is not inferior to Chen Kaige's Palme d'Or, and it is worse than Zhang Yimou's Golden Lion + Golden Bear. Just a little.

While catching up in terms of awards, Wu Yuan's box office results are impressive enough.

More and more movie fans gradually feel that he seems to be more awesome than Chen Kaige.

As for whether they can compete with Zhang Yimou, since Zhang Yimou perfectly handled the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, their status is still 50-50.

However, Zhang Yimou had a bad year this year. The movie "Three Guns" was released during the Lunar New Year, which broke his bottom line of bad movies. The unprecedented bad movies greatly eroded the public's favorability towards him.

Everyone can't believe that Zhang Yimou would make such a bad movie

Now that Wu Yuan has won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for the second time, the public opinion on the domestic Internet has immediately changed.

"I think Wu Yuan is a bit more awesome than Zhang Yimou. Zhang Yimou did a good job at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, but Wu Yuan is bringing glory to the country!"

"Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Apart from Li Yu, a Taiwanese, only Wu Yuan has won it, and twice!"

"His reputation in the world is much higher than that of Zhang Yimou. I traveled to Japan before, and when people heard that I was from China, they all started talking to me about Wu Yuan!"

"On the same floor, when I was in France, someone also took the initiative to talk to me about Wu Yuan."

"Only people in foreign countries know how famous Wu Yuan is abroad. When most Chinese people chat with foreigners, they start the conversation with Wu Yuan!"

"In the past, everyone could only talk about Cheng Long!"

On the domestic Internet, as the news of Wu Yuan's award spread back, it aroused thousands of waves. Whether it was Sina Weibo, which was just established and started operations, or Sina's Oscar text live broadcast room, Wu Yuan was discussed at a high rate. surge.

Although the topic of discussion gradually shifted from him winning the award to who is more powerful between him and Zhang Yimou.

But there is no doubt that Wu Yuan has once again become the center of hot discussion among domestic netizens. When major newspapers go online tomorrow, it will be even more sensational!

At this time, at the Oscars ceremony, Wu Yuan had no time to think about how much public opinion he would arouse in the country after winning the award.

Wu Yuan is full of confidence in winning the award for "Gravity" and feels that this is a 90% chance of success.

After Gong Li and Wang Xueqi returned to the stage, they held the trophy and looked back and forth. They couldn't get over their excitement.

But he had already been mentally prepared. He won the award for the second time, and his mood quickly calmed down.

Rather than being excited about winning the award, he was more focused on another thing at the moment.

Can "Weakness" win the Best Actress Award?

The era of light now needs an Oscar trophy to fill its facade, even if it is just a best actress trophy!

On the stage, awards were handed out one after another, interspersed with singing and dancing. Famous North American singers even came on stage to sing.

Best Original Screenplay went to "The Hurt Locker".

The best adapted screenplay award went to "Precious Life".

"Up" won the best animated feature film without any suspense.

"Avatar" also won a fairly valuable award for Best Cinematography.

The sci-fi film "Star Trek", which was also nominated for this year's Oscars, was the worst, with only one Best Makeup Award as consolation.

Sure enough, the old white men in college still look down on science fiction movies.

Finally, under Wu Yuan's constant mental activities, a group of people walked onto the stage and began to award the Best Actress Award.

Yes, a group of people.

This year, there were 6 award presenters for the Best Actress Award!

Not only the Best Actress Award, but also the Best Actor Award that will be presented later will also have 6 presenters.

The Oscar organizing committee played a big trick this time.

When the six award-giving guests introduced one finalist in turn, the five award-winning guests were constantly switching on the big screen.

"The winner of the 82nd Academy Award for Best Actress is—" Hollywood star Sean Penn, one of the presenters, opened the envelope in a gentlemanly manner.

“Gwyneth Paltrow – ‘Underbelly’!”

Gwyneth Paltrow covered her mouth and stood up in surprise.

Next to her, John was even more excited than she was, almost jumping up from his seat.

Wu Yuan raised the corners of his mouth, laughed from the bottom of his heart, and applauded.

Tonight’s trip to the Oscars is complete! (End of chapter)
