When Tom and Xiao Lizi read out the name of "The Matrix" on the stage, everyone in the audience cheered, this is a sincere cheer.None of them, including Li He, knew the mileage of Chinese films at the Oscars, but they knew that they had made history again.No matter how professional and authoritative the three or four domestic awards are, it is undeniable that the Oscars are the dream of filmmakers all over the world.Seeing the black pressure next door standing up, a group of people stepped forward to accept the award, it was the crew of "Ordinary Woman" from Chile.Li He learned well, waved his hand, and took everyone in the crew to go up to receive the award.After taking the little golden figure from Brother Tom, Li He said thank you, and then handed the little golden man to Hu Ge to share this joy with everyone.After Sebastian Lerio, the director of "Ordinary Woman", excitedly delivered his acceptance speech, it was Li He's turn to speak.Li He still uses Chinese: "First of all, thank the Oscar judges for their favor of the film "The Matrix", and then thank all the crew and me for their joint efforts, it is precisely because of such a tacit team that I can make such a movie."
Secondly, I would like to thank the actors for their hard work, whether it is during the preparation period or the filming period, they will try their best to cooperate with me as a director. ”There was a time limit in his acceptance speech, and Li He quickly finished the following words: "I would also like to thank Penguin Pictures, Light Pictures, and Warner Pictures for their great support for me, and it was their unhesitating support that enabled me to complete this film."
Finally, thank you to my family and my wife, without their support, I would not be where I am today, thank you......"
Although I couldn't understand what the Chinese people on the stage said, everyone still applauded their face.The moment Li He won the award, the barrage of Penguin Video Live had exploded, and many netizens were discussing, most of them were positive, and a few discordant remarks were completely drowned out.After receiving the award, there is a backstage interview, Li He has finished talking just now, and let Hu Ge and Li Jiawen go to the rest of the interview, they just need the heat of the interview.When Li He came down, Spielberg also took the initiative to get up and give Li He a big hug.The old Jewish man didn't mind the fact that Li He signed his place at all, and sincerely congratulated: "Congratulations, young Huaxia director." ”"Thanks, Mr.
Steven, I'm a big fan of yours."
Li He said with a smile."
We'll talk again when we get a chance.""
Okay......"
In the live broadcast room of the six princesses, Qian Liaofu saw this scene and said: "Director Li He has won the respect of Hollywood, Spielberg got up and gave Li He a big hug, showing enough respect, you know, the position of Li He's signature in front is likely to rob Spielberg, and the demeanor of the big director can be seen." ”The awards ceremony continued, but it had little to do with the crew of "The Matrix", Gary Oldman, the actor who played Sheriff Gordon in his previous life, although he did not have this role in this life, he still won the 90th Academy Award for Best Actor with Churchill in "Darkest Hour", and won the Best Actor Award for the first time.Gary Oldman has defeated a number of veteran actors, including Denzel Washington and Daniel Day Lewis.In his previous life, Christopher Nolan was selected for the best director competition for "Dunkirk", but there was no him in this life, but it did not affect the result, and Mexican director Guillermo del Toro won the best director trophy for "The Shape of Water"."
The Shape of Water" is also the biggest winner of this year's Oscars, with 13 nominations and four awards including Best Picture and Best Director.Best Actress went to Francis McDotmund for "Three Billboards," a veteran actress who was very old when she won the award.At this point, this year's Oscars are over, although the Oscars are becoming more and more niche, but most of the Oscar winners are not controversial, but the only small surprise is that "The Matrix" actually won the award with "Ordinary Woman" at the same time, because of the theme of caring for women at this year's Oscars, everyone almost thought that other foreign language films would not have any chance.Li He was also happy, he was the second Chinese director besides Ang Lee to win the best foreign language film.But Ang Lee is from Hollywood, and he has already won two Best Director trophies, so strictly speaking, it is Li He, a native of China, that causes a stronger effect.After the award ceremony, there was also a reception banquet, which was also a good opportunity for people to network with each other.Hollywood also needs connections, and even pays more attention to connections than the Chinese film industry.The banquet held by others had to give some face, so Li He also took the crew to participate, not to mention anything else, the two leading actors Hu Ge and Li Jiawen both need Hollywood resources.In these years, people who can access Hollywood resources to a certain level or have a strong background are not counted, and now Wu has no chance."
Bryant, come here."
Spielberg beckoned.Li He walked over and saw Spielberg chatting with an old man, if you are familiar with the Star Wars series, you must know that he is the famous "Star Wars" director George Lucas.Now retired, he worked as a laid-back farmer on a farm in the countryside, traveling, fishing in his spare time."
Hello, Director Spielberg, hello, Director Lucas."
Li He said hello."
I don't think I need to introduce you," Spielberg laughed."
Anyone who knows anything about the film industry knows the two of you, not to mention that I'm also a director."
Li He said with a smile."
Knowing Steven's name, you still dare to sign his name in his place?"
George Lucas pretended to be murderous."
Ugh!"
Li He Bengbu stayed, so he had to explain: "At that time, that place was the largest, so I signed there." ”"Alright, alright, George."
Spielberg stopped George Lucas, turned to Li He and said, "Don't mind, George is this character." ”Spielberg and George Lucas have been friends for many years, and the famous "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series was teamed up by them.Then the three of them chatted for a long time, from movies to culture, from the East to the West.Until the end of the banquet, Li He still didn't understand why Spielberg and George Lucas took such a fancy to him, and if he didn't understand, he didn't want to, let him be!
However, thanks to the introduction of the two old Jewish men, Li He was able to visit the Hollywood film production mode and process in the major studios unimpeded, and had a deep understanding of the Hollywood film industry.The crew of "The Matrix" was the first to return to China, while Li He stayed in North America for more than ten days and did not return to the capital until late March."
Batman: The Dark Knight" is about to be released, and the second round of the "Avengers" series is about to begin......
