Chapter 289 Oscar's Historic Moment

When Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Connelly released their hug, Wu Yuchen could already see her tears of joy. He didn't know whether this woman was acting or expressing her true feelings.

To be honest, he always felt that many actresses' acting skills were much better on the podium than on the set. Last year's Black Pearl Halle Berry was like this. She was really emotional.

After Nicole Kidman walked onto the stage, she elegantly wiped the tears from her face and said with a slightly crying voice: "Jenny told me not to cry, but I really couldn't help it! I'm sorry!"

After that, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose and turned around to fix her makeup, and the audience immediately offered a round of encouraging applause and cheers.

The camera also gave a look at Jennifer Connelly in the audience. She smiled and applauded gently as if she were a good sister, showing the American audience a good show of friendship between the two.

When Nicole Kidman turned around, she was smiling again and mentioned Wu Yuchen right away:

"I am sincerely grateful to Wu Yuchen for boldly hiring me and giving me a lot of help during the filming. He is really the best director in the world!"

The live camera also gave Wu Yuchen a look. He was smiling faintly, giving everyone a sense of calmness. In an instant, all the actresses in the audience firmly imprinted Nicole Kidman's words in their hearts.

First there was Gong Li who won the Best Supporting Actress, and then there was Nicole Kidman who won the Best Actress. These two important actress awards were won by Wu Yuchen today.

And if we add Jennifer Connelly's Best Actress nomination and the Best Supporting Actress she won last year, Wu Yuchen's ability to support actresses has been perfectly demonstrated through these Oscars!

How could this not make these Hollywood actresses excited? Oscar, the glory that filmmakers and actors all over the world are chasing!

Not to mention the actresses, even the actors were very excited. You should know that Wu Yuchen had nominated the best supporting actor and best actor for the actor in "The Sixth Sense" and "A Beautiful Mind". The reason why he failed to win the award twice was because of special circumstances. The little boy was too young, and Russell Crowe had just won the best actor in "Gladiator" the year before, so it was difficult for him to win the award again. Otherwise, someone else might have won it.

In short, the actors in the hall, regardless of gender, as long as they have ambitions for the Oscars, are eager to get in touch with Wu Yuchen at this moment. If they can really get his attention, they may have a great chance of winning the Oscar!

Not to mention that Wu Yuchen's movies have become a signboard in themselves, with their own appeal and exposure. Even if they fail to win the Oscar, at least they can be successful in business. Which actor can refuse this?

At this moment, Wu Yuchen seemed to be completely unaware of the blue-eyed and golden-haired "monsters" staring at him like Tang Seng's flesh, and listened to Nicole Kidman's thank-you speech on the stage.

Now that Wu Yuchen has reached this point, he actually doesn't need to take into account the thoughts of most people. For example, when he first arrived in Hollywood, he had to intrigue with Stallone and spend his energy to coax him when filming "Black Hole Frequency". Now, which actor dares to put on airs in front of him?

After the new actress came down from the stage, she enthusiastically whispered in Wu Yuchen's ear: "Thank you, Wu, I will repay you!"

Wu Yuchen smiled and whispered: "I am looking forward to it~"

Tonight's Oscars have entered the second half of the second half, which is the climax. Every award that follows is actually related to Wu Yuchen.

The next award is the best adapted screenplay, and he was nominated for "The Hours". However, this award did not fall into his hands, but was won by "The Pianist"

Next up was the Best Original Screenplay. Wu Yuchen was nominated again for The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and this time he was not disappointed:

"The winner... Wu Yuchen, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas!"

This award, which was not light, was a small surprise to Wu Yuchen, because he himself did not spend too much energy on this award, and it once again showed Hollywood his reputation as a "master of script creation"!

Well, he used to be a "creative genius", but with Wu Yuchen's improved status, he has now been promoted to a "master of creation".

On the Internet in China, as Wu Yuchen won this award, a group of netizens were also discussing it lively.

"The sixth Oscar winner! Director Wu is awesome!"

"Of course! The Oscar winner just thanked Director Wu! It was Wu Yuchen who personally helped her win the award. I guess she will be grateful to him for the rest of her life!"

"Thank you, Director Wu, for helping my goddess realize her dream!"

"Nicole Kidman is really beautiful. She is one of the best among white people~"

"Yeah, it really makes me feel good to see such a beautiful star thanking Wu Yuchen in front of the whole world! I feel so proud! Director Wu has made us Chinese proud!"

"Another Best Original Screenplay. This year's award is a success. I don't think I will have much hope for the next two awards."

"Ah? Why do you say that? Wu Yuchen is nominated for both of the next two awards!"

"Hey, for the Best Director, refer to the last time Director Wu was nominated twice. There is also Li An, who is Chinese after all, so he is at a disadvantage!

"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is a foreign language film, and it is already a big deal to be nominated for the Best Picture, but it is impossible to win the award. Last year, Wu Yuchen's "A Beautiful Mind" won the award because it was an English film. Only "The Hours" has some hope, but I saw that the analysis of America still has the best hope for the Best Picture, "Gangs of New York" and "The Pianist". So, the next two awards are almost the same, just wait and see."

"Is that so! Alas, I was thinking that Director Wu's next two awards were both nominated twice, so the hope is not small..."

"Be content, Wu Yuchen has won many awards, and he also helped Gong Li win the Best Supporting Actress~"

Thanks to the influence brought by Wu Yuchen, many people have known the Oscars in detail in recent years, and they can analyze them very well. Although many people are full of confidence in Wu Yuchen, many people have lowered their expectations for the future and are satisfied with their current achievements.

Wu Yuchen, who was at the scene, had no idea about the discussions thousands of miles away. At this moment, he was concentrating on Harrison Ford, who had just waited to go on stage. The leading actor of the "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" series was still handsome and stylish at the age of 60. He was about to present the Best Director award!

"From the beginning, when people used art and science to create movies and bring them into our lives, the person at the helm was the director! The candidates for the Best Director this year are..."

"The Pianist, Roman Polanski;

Gangs of New York, Martin Scorsese;

The Hours, Wu Yuchen;

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Wu Yuchen;

Talk to Her, Pedro Almodovar."

Wu Yuchen looked at the five portraits that appeared on the big screen, two of which were him. This was the second time he had won two nominations. It was no exaggeration to say that there was no precedent.

Not only the people sitting in the theater, but also many viewers watching the live broadcast, could remember that this scene seemed to have happened once two years ago.

This is also an advantage that Wu Yuchen deliberately created. The main purpose of choosing to take time out to shoot "The Hours" was for now. He didn't get the double nomination last time, so he got the double nomination again, which was also a deliberate reminder to the judges that you can't just turn a blind eye to the director who got the double nomination twice, right?

This time, for the best director, Wu Yuchen has really done everything. In addition to the double nomination, he also chose to shoot an anti-war theme that conforms to the time, specifically found Spielberg to divert some Jewish forces, secretly continued to spread the scandal of his opponent Polanski, and chose to accept help from Disney.

To be honest, Wu Yuchen himself felt that he had done his best in all aspects, and he might never be so close to the best director again in the future. If he still can't get the best director this time, then he really plans to give up and concentrate on making his commercial films.

At this time, Martin Lao was in a similar mood to Wu Yuchen. He had more Oscars than Wu Yuchen, and this time "Gangs of New York" was also his masterpiece.

Moreover, in his opinion, Polanski, who has a large group of Jews behind him and is the most threatening, has such a big black spot himself, so he will definitely have no hope of winning the award. The only one who threatens him is Wu Yuchen. This is equivalent to choosing between two, and this is his most hopeful time!

Even Polanski, who dares not set foot in America, is watching the live broadcast on TV in Europe at this time with some nervousness. Although he cannot come to Hollywood for public relations in person, a large number of Jewish compatriots are actively helping him to run around and build relationships. He knows how much power the Jews have in Hollywood.

When Spielberg came to "The Pianist" and said that he hoped they would focus on the best film, but this is the Oscars, they want the best film, and they also want the best director!

The only relatively calm person may be Pedro, the director of "Talk to Her". Their public relations power during the Oscars is not enough, and they also know that they cannot compare with the other three people in terms of influence, so there should be no hope.

"Each of them is an excellent director with unparalleled outstanding talent, but there is only one winner tonight."

Harrison Ford opened the envelope and took out the note: "The winner is..."

Then he raised his head and announced loudly: "Wu Yuchen, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas!"

The celebratory music sounded immediately, followed by intense applause and cheers in the theater. At this time, the camera was aimed at Wu Yuchen, and it could be seen from the big screen that the people on both sides of him were happily congratulating him.

Wu Yuchen himself did not seem to be very excited, but his smile was a little wider than before, and the whole person still looked elegant and calm.

When Wu Yuchen heard that he won the award, his heart was naturally lifted, and the first thought that came to his mind was that he finally won it. He thought of the various experiences since the year he started to compete for the Oscar, double nominations, being backstabbed by Disney, and then fighting with Harvey, double nominations again this year, alliances, various means, and finally won it now, and it seemed to be vivid at this moment.

"Dear! Best Director! You are the best!" Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Connelly rushed to hug Wu Yuchen.

On the other side, Gong Li was so excited that she shouted to Wu Yuchen: "Director Wu, Best Director! You brought back the Best Director Oscar for China! The first Best Director for Chinese people, the first Best Director for Asians!"

Whether it was Gong Li, Chen Baoguo, or Huang Xiaoming, Shu Chang and other crew members, they were all very excited. After all, before, they actually had a lot of doubts about whether Wu Yuchen could win the Best Director award.

You have to know that the Oscars are someone else's territory, and the Best Director award has always been the world of white people, even black people have never touched it. But now, Wu Yuchen, a yellow man, really won the Best Director Oscar! This can be said to be a historic moment for the Oscars!

This is definitely a big surprise for the crew of "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"!

At this time, the crew of "Hero" was cheering loudly. After all, Wu Yuchen's award was of great significance. It was a glory for all Chinese people and China. They were naturally happy as fellow Chinese.

Lao Mouzi applauded and sighed in his heart. Not only did he lose to the other party in the Best Foreign Language Film, but now the other party has directly won the Best Director. This time he really lost with conviction!

Wu Yuchen deliberately walked along the side of "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas", and then hugged or shook hands with the people in the crew one by one.

The intense applause continued, and many people even stood up and applauded to express their respect, such as Spielberg, Soderbergh, Martin, Leo, Russell Crowe, etc., without any dislike for Wu Yuchen's delay or urging.

After a while, Wu Yuchen stepped onto the podium and took the trophy from Harrison Ford.

"Congratulations, Director Wu! If you need anything, you can contact me at any time~" Harrison Ford smiled and whispered.

"Thank you, Mr. Ford!" Wu Yuchen replied politely, and then walked to the microphone.

He looked at the little golden man in his hand, looked up and said to the audience with a smile:

"Sorry, I didn't write a speech. I wrote it twice before, but I never won this award~"

Hearing Wu Yuchen say this, there was a burst of laughter from the audience, knowing that he was talking about the two previous nominations for Best Director, but in the end he was a runner-up and didn't win the award.

Now Wu Yuchen is really an Oscar veteran. Even if he won the Best Director, he was calm and composed, and he was in the mood to joke, showing his humor and calmness, and also won the love of many TV viewers.

Then, Wu Yuchen continued:

"There are always moments of enlightenment in life, but now I have received this award, but my mind is a little confused. I only know that I have received unlimited friendship and encouragement from the Oscar judges, colleagues in the crew, peers, people I admire, and everyone here. This means a lot to me. Thank you so much!"

The audience gave kind laughter and cheers. After the audience quieted down, Wu Yuchen's expression gradually turned positive and he spoke:

"I am so happy, but at the same time I am really sad, because accepting this award at this moment, many people have been hurt by the war.

The process of filming this movie made me especially aware of the suffering, inhumane evil and destruction brought by war to people. Sometimes these made me suffer from sleepless nights, which was really terrible.

I want to thank my parents, they taught me a lot about war and life, which benefited me a lot. Thank you Huaxia, the filming location of this movie, this period The place where the history of suffering took place, I received a lot of help during the filming process! "

Wu Yuchen paused, then glanced at the people in the audience:

"For the ongoing war, I pray that a quick and effective solution can be born quickly.

Whether it is those whose homes have been invaded, or those young people who can only obey orders and step onto the battlefield under military orders; whether you believe in Jesus or Allah, the Three Pure Ones or Buddha, whether you are a theist or an atheist, I hope you can be blessed!

Sincerely, I wish world peace!"

After speaking, Wu Yuchen bowed slightly to the audience.

Suddenly, everyone in the entire theater stood up and gave him and his call for peace. The thunderous applause and respect lasted for a long time!
