Chapter 812 Best Foreign Language Film

In the past, the Oscars ceremony started with the female supporting actress, and the beauty appeared, which made the audience shine. However, the first one to be awarded today was the Best Supporting Actor, and this award can be said to be very suspenseful. Christopher Walz's elegant and evil genius performance in "Inglorious Bastard" made the character shine and even undoubtedly overshadowed the protagonist Pitt. Not only did he win the Best Actor in Cannes, but he also swept all the way in the Oscar outpost, and the weather vane was hit.

The answer was soon revealed, and Christopher Walz won the best supporting actor without any controversy. The 53-year-old Austrian actor Christopher Walz has been unknown before. Almost everyone will ask after seeing him for the first time in "Inglorious Bastard", "Who is that Nazi officer?" For Christopher Walz, he really soared into the sky.

"Inglorious Bastard" is a movie produced by Weinstein. This year, it won 7 nominations including Best Picture and Best Director. Ristopher Walz won Best Supporting Actor and got a good start. The entire crew was cheering. Harvey turned around and laughed proudly at Zhang Ran and clapped his hands hard.

Zhang Ran scolded the bitch in his heart and ignored Harvey, but Neil did not miss this opportunity and flew over with his two middle fingers.

The award ceremony continued, "Flying House" easily won the Best Animation Feature Award, and then the interlude "the-weary-kind" in the movie "Crazy Heart" won the Best Original Song Award.

Dingfeng Entertainment's movie was not shortlisted for these two awards, and Zhang Ran was watching the fun easily. However, after the Best Original Song Award, the Best Original Script was awarded. Zhang Ran was shortlisted for this award, and he couldn't help but adjust his sitting posture and sit up upright.

The award-winning guests of the Best Script Award were Robert Downey Jr. and Tina Fey. From the award-winning guests, we can see how much Hollywood attaches great importance to scripts. Everyone understands that good scripts are one of the key factors in the success of the movie.

In Xinlang Studio, host Gu Yu asked: "Are there many foreign language films nominated for the best original script at the Oscar? I know that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was nominated for the script, but it seems to be an adapted script."

Zhou Liming nodded and said, "Yes, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is nominated for adapted scripts. Many foreign-language films have nominated for original scripts. Many masters such as Bergman and Fellini have been nominated for the best original scripts."

Guyu asked a question that many people are particularly concerned about: "Does Zhang Ran have the chance to win the award?"

Bi Chenggong said with regret: "The chance is not great. Foreign language films won the Best Original Script Award. I remember that only Spanish director Almodova did it in 2003, which was the movie "Tell Her". Why could Almodova win? Because the most powerful movies back then were not original scripts, but adapted scripts. The opponents of the original script award were particularly weak, so he created a miracle. If "Pianist", "Chicago" and "Everything" were original scripts, Almodova would definitely not win. The reason is very simple. Most of the Oscar judges are Americans. If they are strong enough, it is impossible to choose a foreigner. Almodova is a white man, and the situation is better, and it is even more difficult for Zhang Ran to be a yellow man. Even if you are a little stronger than him, others will not choose yours. If you want to win the award, you must be much stronger than your opponent to be able to do so!"

At the award ceremony, Zhang Ran smiled and turned his head to whisper to Mary Hill beside him, without any nervousness. His relaxation was not pretending, but really relaxed, because he knew that he could not win the award.

Robert Downey Jr. announced the result that it was indeed not "Love". The one who won the Best Original Script Award was "Bomb Disposal Force".

Zhang Ran and Neil smiled at each other, stood up, and applauded loudly in Harvey's direction. They knew that the award for Best Original Screenplay was lost, and Weinstein's "Inglorious Bastard" might basically be ruled out.

Harvey knew that Zhang Ran and Neil were applauding him and did not look back, but his expression was extremely ugly. Quentin's face was also ugly, leaning on the chair and silently. They knew that the possibility of "Inglorious Bastard" hitting the best film was completely shattered!

Under normal circumstances, if a movie wants to win the Oscar for Best Picture, in addition to the Best Picture Award, it is possible to win almost two small gold men. Judging from the outpost and the weather vane, the most likely awards to win in "Inglorious Bastard" are the male supporting role and the best original script. Now that the original script is lost, "Inglorious Bastard" will definitely be out of the way.

The award ceremony continued, with celebrities coming on stage one after another, and Oscars were awarded one after another.

"The one who won the Best Acoustic Effect Award was Paul Otterson in "Bomb Disposal Force"!"

"The one who won the Best Sound Editing Award was Ray Beckett in the "Bomb Disposal Force"!"

...

"The winner of the Best Art Direction Award is Robert Stormberg in Avatar and Rick Carter!"

"The winner of the Best Photography Award was Moro Feola in "Avatar"!"

"The winner of the Best Visual Effects Award was Richard Barrham and Joe Reitley in "Avatar"!"

Dolby Theater was constantly drowned out by applause and laughter. The entire awards ceremony became a stage for the performances of "Bomb Demolition Force" and "Avatar". Both sides chased each other and tied the game three to three. The two popular films "Inglorious Bastard" and "Inglorious Bastard" performed miserably. "Inglorious Bastard" only had one male supporter, while "Inglorious Bastard" was incompetent.

At this moment, the award presenters Almodova and Quentin stepped onto the stage. They were preparing to award the Best Foreign Language Film Award. Almodova won two Little Golden Man, while Quentin unconditionally supported foreign language films. They were the best candidates for awarding the Best Foreign Language Film.

Countless Chinese audiences began to be beating their hearts faster, and countless netizens kept flooding the screen in forums, post bars, Weibo and other places: "The best foreign language film is here!", "It's here! It's up to you, Lao Too!", "Come on China! Come on Lao Too!", "Don't waste this script written by my Zhang Ran!"...

In the Xinlang studio, Gu Yu said in a slightly excited tone: "I finally arrived at the best foreign language film that movie fans across the country are extremely looking forward to. I am a little nervous now. Three teachers, which movie do you think of?"

Bi Chenggong and Zhou Liming said in unison: "I am optimistic about "Love"!

Zheng Dongtian laughed: "I am optimistic about "Love" too! The films shortlisted for this year are interesting. "Sad Milk" is the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, "White Ribbon" is the Golden Palme d'Or at Cannes, and "Love" is the Golden Lion Award at the Venice. My personal favorite is "White Ribbon". It started to be completely calm. Such a harsh movie was filmed so calmly, with so many fixed shots. What I said is that humans in the entire 20th century have to get something from this movie, which is very amazing."

Zhou Liming has different views: "Even if there is no "Love" this year, "White Ribbon" will not win the Best Foreign Language Film. That's it. You should not be too cruel to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. It is a little different from the Best Film in terms of theme and treatment. You have to take one step first, but you can't be too pioneering. You can only be one or two steps ahead of our current practice. If you take five steps ahead, no one will appreciate it. It's too European and American, and it's not too American. In short, it's a little different from American movies. You have to have challenges, but you can't challenge too much. "Love" is the most in line with all the movies. The story itself is cruel, but it's not desperate. This is Zhang Ran's best-in-class. The script is really good. If Zhang Yimou wins the Best Foreign Language Film Award, he should really thank Zhang Ran!"

Bi Chenggong also deeply agreed: "Yes, I should thank Zhang Ran. In recent years, director Zhang Yimou has received a lot of criticisms. Many people scolded him for being exhausted. In fact, it is not that his level is not good, but the scripts are not good. The previous filming of "Red Sorghum", "Big Red Lantern Hanging High", and "Alive" are all adapted from the best literary works in our country; and in recent years, the scripts were made by his own studio, so the gap in this level is too big."

At this time, Zhang Ran, who was sitting at the award ceremony, still seemed relaxed. The most stable awards of the movie released by Tingfeng Entertainment this year should be the Best Foreign Language Film. "Love" won the best film, best director, and best original script as a foreign language. Zhang Ran dared to pat his chest and said, "If this is not the best foreign language film, I will climb on the ground!"

Zhang Yimou was a little nervous. He had won almost the award for more than 20 years, but he had almost won an Oscar. So far, he has been hitting Oscars several times, and he returned in a bad mood every time. Oscars are almost a ill person. At this time, how could he not be nervous? Of course, Zhang Yimou was not the first time to participate in the Oscar. Although he was very nervous, he looked calm.

At the same time, the five shortlisted films have been played. Almodovar held the list of winners and slowly opened the envelope under the gaze of countless eyes, and slowly said: "The one who won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film..."

The guests on the scene looked at Almodovar nervously, and the members of the "Love" crew clenched their fists nervously; countless Chinese audiences who were paying attention to the best foreign language films held their breath, and their hearts were nervously about to jump out.

After a brief pause, Almodovar announced loudly: "Love, China!"

When "China" came out of Almodovar's mouth, the guests from Xinlang Studio stood up and cheered and applauded. The host Gu Yu directly picked up the hand-sprayed ribbons that he had prepared long ago, and sprayed them in the air. The whole scene was as lively as a festival.

At this moment, countless audiences across the country who were paying attention to the award ceremony were cheering loudly; the online world was in a carnival, forums, post bars, microblogs, and all the places where they could swim, netizens were sweeping the screen wildly.

"Best foreign language film, Chinese movie "Love"! Congratulations to director Zhang Yimou, it's so awesome!"

"Warm congratulations to director Zhang Yimou for winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!"

"Best foreign language film! Lao Mouzi was nominated four times, and he finally won this time!"

"Haha! I know there is no problem! Lao Taozi and Zhang Ran, and the combination of two swords, how could he lose!"

Zhang Ran let out a light breath, stood up, and applauded Zhang Yimou with a smile; the rest of the crew of "Love" were like crazy, quickly gathering with Zhang Yimou, and surrounding him and shouting words of congratulations.

Zhang Weiping jumped up in excitement. From "Heroes", before the movie was released, he would hype it up with the Olympics as a gimmick. So far, it has been hyped for nearly ten years, and now he has finally won the Oscar! He widened his eyes, grabbed Zhang Yimou's arm, and shouted: "Yimu, we won the award! We won the Oscar!"

Zhang Yimou couldn't hide his inner excitement, and his smile was extremely bright. However, he ignored Zhang Weiping, but pushed away the crowd, held Zhang Ran's hand tightly, and shook it hard. This time he was able to win the Oscar for the best foreign language film, relying on Zhang Ran. Not only did he give himself an excellent script that best fits the Oscar, but he also spent millions of dollars on public relations. He said excitedly: "Zhang Ran, thank you! Thank you very much!"

Zhang Ran patted Zhang Yimou's hand and reminded with a smile: "Everyone is waiting for you, hurry up and receive the award!"
