214 [News Three Minutes]

After the awards are over.

Bettorucci waved his hand and asked the producer to quickly arrange the hotel. He wanted to hold a big cocktail party to announce that the grand prize of this year's Oscar was contracted by their crew of "The Last Emperor"!

The reception was held on the east side of the Holy Hall Awards Theater, where there was a very large five-star hotel.

I have held many Oscar celebration banquets before, so when I heard that they were the crew of this year's Oscar "Best Picture", I immediately asked the staff to arrange a huge banquet hall that can accommodate thousands of people at the same time.

Because the hotel knows that there will be a lot of guests coming to the cocktail party later!

In fact, it is indeed as the hotel thought.

"The Last Emperor" won nine awards in a row. I dare not say that this award has not been available in the history of the Oscars, but it is also a very small number. In addition to "The Comet Beauty" and "Gone with the Wind" and other old films from more than ten years ago, there are only a handful of films that have won ten awards or above nominations in the past decade.

There has not even been a film that has received ten nominations in recent years, and almost all of them have won awards.

This also led to the number of guests who came to the Oscars when Bettorucci was holding a cocktail party in the Los Angeles Hotel, and the number of guests who came to the news or attended the Oscars directly exceeded 1,000.

There were actors, directors, producers, and many behind-the-scenes staff who were well-known in Hollywood, and even general managers of several major film companies came to participate.

It’s really that “The Last Emperor” won too many awards!

Ten grand prizes won nine, which is a honor that has not been seen in recent years. Bettorucci can be said to have immediately become a hot new star director in Hollywood with this movie, and even several major film companies have put forward olive branches.

Manan Leslie, the general manager of Paramount Films, extended his hand enthusiastically and smiled: "Congratulations to director Betorucci, this time your movie has become the biggest dark horse!"

Hearing the words of Paramount General Manager, Bettorucci smiled and said, "Haha, thanks to the judges of the academy, otherwise my film would not have won so many awards. Do you think it's Mr. Leslie?"

"Of course, I have watched this video and it was very good. It made the ancient oriental architecture beautiful." Manan Leslie expressed his thoughts after watching the movie he had watched, while checking Bettorucci's expression.

Seeing that the other party was so ecstatic that he was praised by him, Manan Leslie changed his mouth and said, "Betorucci, I heard that you have no plans to make a movie recently?"

"Yes, because I've been busy with this video, I have no plans to shoot yet."

"I wonder if I'm interested in working with us Paramount?"

Hearing this, Bettorucci was happy and immediately said, "Of course I'm interested, but I don't know how your company wants to cooperate with me?"

Just as Manan Leslie was about to say something, he suddenly saw a few people coming not far away. He frowned and said to Bettorucci: "No hurry. If director Bettorucci is interested, he can come to Paramount to find me tomorrow."

"no problem!"

As soon as he agreed, someone behind him said, "Mr. Bettorucci, congratulations on winning the Best Director and Best Picture Award!"

Looking back, it was the general manager of 20th Century Fox. Bettorucci's smile that never fell from beginning to end was raised again, and he smiled happily: "Mr. Gerald, thank you!"

...

...

The next morning.

Li Yange was drinking coffee with Yo-yu Ma, Kitaro, Ryuichi Sakamoto and others who came after hearing the news.

"Friends, Mr. Kitaro, how did you know?" Li Yange looked at the two of them curiously. The award ceremony just ended yesterday, and today they rushed to the hotel after hearing the news. The speed was so fast that it was beyond imagination.

Kitaro said: "I happened to prepare for a concert in Los Angeles recently. I watched the TV news that you and Ryuichi won the Oscar for Best Composer, so I thought about coming and congratulating you."

"I'm almost the same, but I didn't expect Mr. Kitaro to have the same idea as me."

Yo-you Ma smiled. He had nothing to do recently. He happened to be on vacation with his wife in Los Angeles. After seeing news about the Oscars on TV, he also wanted to come over to congratulate Li Yange.

"By the way Mr. Li, do you know that Polykin is going to hold a concert in the United States recently?"

"concert?"

When Li Yange heard Kitaro mention the concert, he asked in confusion: "What concert."

"Polykin recently acquired a company specializing in classical music, and is preparing to enter the American classical music market. So in June this year, I will hold Polykin's classical concerts in Los Angeles, New York and other major cities in the United States. This time I came to the United States to prepare for this concert."

Speaking of this, Kitaro looked at Yo-yu Ma and said, "I heard that in order to enter the American classical music market this time, Polykin has invited many world-renowned musicians."

"Well, I heard about it, too."

Yo-yo Ma nodded. As the most famous cellist in the United States, he has long heard of Polygon's big moves.

"Classic music has nothing to do with me."

Ryuki Sakamoto shrugged. Most of his works today are mainly electronic music, and classical music has not been exposed to for a long time.

"I think it doesn't matter much to me." Li Yange had the same idea as Ryuichi Sakamoto. He had hardly had much contact with Western classical music. He only heard teachers talk about classical music composition when he was in school last year.

"No, although the theme of this concert is classical music, it is not all based on classical music."

Kitaro said: "Polikin has great ambitions. Because the music style in Asia is quite different from that in Europe and America, Poolikin chose classical music in order to enter the European and American markets. I think Poolikin will try more music styles in the future, and it is not without them."

"Let's talk about it." Li Yange shook his head. He is still preparing for Polykin's second album, so he has no energy to care about this.

Seeing this, Kitaro didn't say anything else. He just found a topic casually. Seeing that Li Yange was not interested, he also remembered what he heard when he was chatting with Ryuichi Sakamoto in the morning. He asked with a smile: "By the way, Mr. Li, I heard Ryuichi say that you have also created a song "Silk Road". I wonder if you have the chance to hear it today?"

"Of course, but I have to trouble you." Li Yange looked at Yo-you Ma.

"Haha, no problem, I just happen to live nearby. If you are interested, please come with me."

Today I rarely meet a few friends I know. Although I was on vacation, Yo-Yo Ma still enthusiastically invited Li Yange and the others to come.

...

While Li Yange was preparing to go to Yo-you Ma’s home in Los Angeles,

It was already evening in the country far away from the ocean.

After the "News Broadcast" broadcast recent domestic news in the evening, host Li Ruiying picked up the manuscript in her hand and said to the camera:

"It was co-produced by China, Italy and the United Kingdom, directed by Italian director Benaldo Betoruc, and released the feature film "The Last Emperor" in the United States by Colombia.

I won nine major awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Composition Award at the Academy Awards Conference held in Los Angeles last night...

The films based on China and filmed on the spot in China won nine Oscars in the United States, which is the first time in recent decades...

Among them, Li Yange, an outstanding young composer in my country, won the Academy Award for Best Composer for "Remembrance of the Forbidden City" created for the film. He was the first Chinese in my country to win an Academy Award.

Before this, those who won the Academy Award were all Chinese compatriots overseas.

Li Yange, 20 years old this year, is a sophomore student at the Central Conservatory of Music. He performed well during his school years and performed extraordinaryly during his enrollment. In 1986, he produced movie soundtracks for the movies "The Last Emperor", "King of Children", "Red Sorghum", and the large-scale Three Kingdoms animated film "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" filmed by Toho Co., Ltd.

In 1987, he released his first solo music album "Yan Song" in Japan, which was well received in Japan. The famous Japanese musician Mr. Kitaro publicly praised his talent...

In February 1988, Li Yange won the Best Composer Award, the highest award for Italian films, and became the youngest winner in the history of the Italian David Award…”
