Chapter 1622 The Second Impact!

When Richard Attenborough, the winner of last year's Oscar for Best Director and director of "Gandhi", came on stage, not only countless people in the audience held their breath, but also the hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the TV. Somewhat nervous.

Thanks to Qilin Group and Yin Jun, the rights to this year's Oscars ceremony were sold for a very high price in various Asian countries and regions.

Even in a place as small as Xiangjiang, Kylin TV spent US$2 million to buy the live broadcast rights tonight.

What they all want to see is whether Lin Qingxia, Tang Shuxuan and Yin Jun, who represent the highest level of Asian movies, can win their own awards.

This year's Oscar Best Director candidates are still the same four.

The first one is "Rain Man" by Yin Jun.

The second one is "The Little God's Daughter" by Tang Shuxuan.

The third one is "The Makeup Artist" by Peter Yeats.

The fourth is Tender Mercies by Bruce Beresford.

In addition to Yin Jun, Tang Shuxuan is also shortlisted for the second time and for the second consecutive year.

In terms of odds, she is the same as Yin Jun.

However, senior media insiders commented that Tang Shuxuan's chances of winning the Oscar for Best Director are actually lower.

First of all, because Yin Jun is her boss, the boss didn't win the Oscar for Best Director, but his subordinates did. It's really unjustifiable.

Then it's because Tang Shuxuan is a woman.

It is true that female directors have won the Oscar for Best Director, but they are very rare. Especially since Tang Shuxuan is a Chinese-American female director, the chance of this is obviously lower.

As for the other two films, they are not as good as "Rain Man" and "The Little God's Daughter" in terms of box office and reputation.

The only advantage they have is that they are older than Yin Jun and Tang Shuxuan and have made decades more movies.

But qualifications are not something that is very useful. What is more important is the strength of the work.

Directors generally don't talk much. After introducing the four movies, Richard Attenborough opened the envelope.

Looking up, he glanced at Yin Jun for the first time, which made Yin Jun's heart tighten all of a sudden.

Then came a burst of ecstasy.

Is it really me?

But Richard Attenborough lowered his head and read out another name: "Best Director winner... Peter Yeats, "The Makeup Artist"!"

Yin Jun: "..."

At this moment, all he wanted to do was curse.

It's not me who's riding the horse. What do you think I'm doing?

"Grass!"

Yin Jun suddenly heard such a word in his ears.

Looking back, it was Sister Qingxia who said it through gritted teeth.

"This damn old man! Not only did he steal our Best Director award last year, but he shows off like this again this year, isn't it fun?" Sister Qingxia, who has always been gentle and elegant, scolded her angrily in Chinese: "I hope he falls to death when he comes down! I choked to death while eating! It’s really not a thing!!”

Lin Qingxia, who had never cursed or said bad words in front of her, now blurted out a series of curse words like a shrew.

Lin Qingxia obviously scolded the wrong person.

This Best Director result was selected by the members of the Film Academy, not Peter Yeats fought for it.

But Yin Jun was greatly relieved after hearing this. He shook Sister Dongfang's hand, and the depression in his heart actually dissipated a lot.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something and looked up. It turned out that a camera was pointed at him and printed on the screen.

The young man could only force out a smile and waved to the camera.

But he stopped applauding.

I didn't win the award twice for the damn thing, so it's strange that I can still be happy.

If you want to say that the movies I directed are bad, then you have to say that.

Last year's "The Shawshank Redemption" historically did not win an Oscar, so I tolerated it.

But this year’s “Rain Man” is a super slam!

The version I took is even better and more outstanding than the version in my previous life! !

Even the Best Actor award was given to me, would it kill me if I was given the Best Director award?

Peter Yeats was the most surprised.

When his name was read out, he was talking to the producer next to him. When he heard the voice, he was stunned for a moment, and then continued to lower his head and speak.

It was the male protagonist on the other side who suddenly grabbed his hand and pointed at the screen for him to see. Only then did Peter Yeats suddenly realize that he had won the award!

Full of surprises, he stumbled onto the podium, and of course received a round of applause.

But if you listen carefully, it will be clear that the applause this time is much sparser than before.

Most people were stunned the moment they heard the winning results.

No matter from which aspect, Yin Jun is the person most qualified to win the Oscar for Best Director this year.

Even if it's not Yin Jun, then Tang Shuxuan should be ranked second.

He is also a great director, and he has been nominated twice in a row. In terms of strength and qualifications, he is completely qualified.

But it was Peter Yeats who won the Best Director Award, which is very confusing.

What are the criteria for winning the award?

Looking horizontally, vertically, left and right, Peter Yeats has no advantage at all!

However, Peter Yeats does not have these thoughts now. Since the Oscar has selected me as the best director, then I am the best.

Standing on the stage, he began his acceptance speech with a loud voice, and he spoke with great excitement and cadence.

After finally waiting for him to come down, it was already ten minutes later.

Unlike other award presentations, the best film award winner is not the company representative who won the award last year, but a respected veteran in the film industry.

The last award presenter tonight, the one who presented the award for the Best Picture, was none other than the famous Hollywood queen-Elizabeth Taylor.

At the age of 52, she still retains her charm, wearing a beautiful dress and standing in front of the award podium.

Looking out at the audience, Elizabeth Taylor shrugged and said, "Back then, I was sitting in the audience with all my heart, enjoying everyone's admiring looks, waiting for others to give me awards...I can't do that now, I can only hang out. I’m a guest of awards ceremony!”

"hehe……"

A group of celebrities, directors and producers laughed to save face.

Especially older people, they all remember how Elizabeth Taylor turned everyone upside down twenty or thirty years ago.

Even now, she is in line with some people's appreciation.

"Okay, let's see what movies are nominated for Best Picture this time." After joking, Elizabeth Taylor also started the process.

She introduced the film above, and Tang Shuxuan, who was separated from Lin Qingxia from Yin Jun, turned her head and asked the young man, "Ajun, do you think they will award the best film to you again today?"

"I don't know." Yin Jun smiled bitterly.

"We don't want this consolation prize!" Lin Qingxia said angrily.

"The best movie is not a consolation prize, it is the greatest praise for this production company." Tang Shuxuan said, "If we talk about the overall production last year, our North American branch of Kirin Group is the best in Hollywood! Plus! Neither Arjun nor I won the Best Director Award, maybe the award will be given to us again this year!"

"snort!"

Lin Qingxia sneered.

She was delighted to win the Oscar for Best Actress, but her man was ignored again, which made Sister Qingxia hate it extremely.

Tang Shuxuan's judgment was correct.

Elizabeth Taylor held an envelope on the stage and happily announced the name of the best picture: ""Rain Man"! Congratulations to Disney! Congratulations to Kirin Group! Congratulations to Mr. Yin Jun!!"

Tang Shuxuan immediately looked at Yin Jun and asked with her eyes, "Do you want her to go up and receive this award?"

Yin Jun stood up directly, gently hugged Lin Qingxia who stood up immediately with him, strode past everyone, and walked onto the podium.

If a manly man can't even bear this little setback, how can he do a bigger career?

The Best Picture Award is not a consolation prize, but a solid grand prize. If you get it, you should be happy!

Elizabeth Taylor stretched out her arms with a smile, hugged Yin Jun vigorously for a few seconds, and kissed Yin Jun directly before letting him go with a smile.

Everyone looked at the red lip marks on Yin Jun's face and burst into laughter.

The young man also smiled slightly and accepted the statuette for Best Picture from Elizabeth Taylor.

"Life is like this, there are things lost and things gained." The boy said to the people below, "I didn't win the Best Director Award, but the Best Picture Award is a compliment to our entire crew! It also proves that "Rain" "People" is a very good movie! Thank you! Thank you everyone! I will continue to work hard!"

With just a few words, Yin Jun walked away.

Like last year's host, this year's host didn't expect Yin Jun to speak so neatly. He was immediately stunned and didn't know what to say.

At this time, the role of Elizabeth Taylor is reflected.

"Wow, Mr. Yin is so cool!" She held the microphone and said, "You don't know, when I hugged him just now, it felt like first love! If I were twenty years younger... no, ten years old , I will definitely be brave enough to pursue this cute and cool little boy!!"

"Hahaha……"

The people below burst out laughing.

Yin Jun, who was walking back to his seat, shook his head and smiled.

In general, after Elizabeth Taylor smoothed things over, the somewhat awkward atmosphere was relieved.

The host reacted, quickly followed the lines, told a few jokes, and announced the successful conclusion of this year's Oscars.

After a night of ups and downs, people, whether winning or not, stood up one after another and applauded in response to the scene at the center of the stage where the curtain was slowly coming down.

Yin Jun has also recovered a lot at this time.

As he said, life is full of ups and downs.

If you don't get the award you want, there must be something you haven't done well.

No matter which aspect it is, it means that he still has room for improvement.

Then just wait!

This year I will make another movie to show you what it means to have endless classics handed down from generation to generation! !
