Chapter 1349 The Award Recipient From China
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Oscar party officially started.
The host, who jumped on stage with a group of dancers, teased Yin Jun a few words at the beginning.
"The air is particularly sweet today because there are so many beauties coming to the scene! Do you know why?" the host said with an exaggerated expression, "Because Mr. Jun, a friend of women in the United States, came to the scene! ... ...Oh, Mr. Jun, although I am not a woman, I still love you and every novel you write!"
With that said, he blew a kiss to Yin Jun.
Fortunately, the organizing committee had already communicated with Yin Jun, so when the camera panned to Yin Jun, Yin Jun just smiled and made a thumbs up gesture.
At a party like this, the host can of course make fun of many stars and celebrities, but he would never dare to make fun of a Hollywood giant.
The organizing committee doesn’t have the guts either.
The selection of Oscars is a matter of the film academy, but hosting this Oscar ceremony is a commercial operation. How dare they publicly ridicule the boss of a media and entertainment group?
Sophie Marceau didn't know this, but she laughed so hard when she saw this guy's exaggerated expression and disgusting behavior.
However, after the camera swept over, Lin Qingxia mumbled unconsciously.
These are all vignettes.
After the host attracted the hot topic, he immediately moved to other jokes.
In his previous life, Yin Jun watched many Oscar awards ceremonies and found that whenever they were on the Oscar stage, American talk show hosts liked to talk nonsense or tell jokes they thought were funny, and they were very nagging.
But fortunately now, the entertainment aspect of the Oscars is not that serious.
After the host threw out a few jokes, he turned the topic to the Oscars themselves.
But in Yin Jun's opinion, his level is still much lower than that of Larry King.
Next time, you might consider bringing Larry King, who has slowly become famous on the Disney TV Channel, to the Oscar stage, which can be regarded as giving him a chance to become famous.
All award ceremonies have similar patterns.
The projects for awarding awards range from small to large, with some touching links mixed in, such as commemorating a deceased artist, or presenting a lifetime achievement award, etc.
In addition, there will be some singing or jokes in the middle.
Originally, the organizing committee of this year's Oscars was very active in inviting the world's number one diva, Teresa Deng, but the queen's sister had a daughter and had everything she wanted to do, so she had no choice but to give up.
So today another female singer came. Yin Jun couldn't remember her name, but she sang a soul-stirring song that reminded the boy of Whitney Houston.
Kirin Group’s 21 Oscar nominations were first announced for “The Lion King” in the animation category.
When the award presenter said "The film that won the best original score - "The Lion King"", a group of Disney artists and animators were so excited that tears came to their eyes.
If you calculate carefully, they have not won an Oscar in more than 8 years.
When this "Lion King" was first produced, not everyone agreed.
In particular, hundreds of artists stayed in the African savannah for more than half a year, just to paint the demeanor, appearance and living habits of various animals. At that time, Yin Jun was ridiculed as "people are stupid and have too much money".
what's the result?
"The Lion King" caused a huge response as soon as it was released. It was loved by both men, women and children, and even the ancient ancient countries in the East liked it very much. It created a viewing record for cartoons.
It's not just a good word-of-mouth movie, it has a global box office of 1.13 billion US dollars, surpassing the previous highest "E.T." of 1.123 billion US dollars, becoming the world box office champion!
Awesome, right?
A cartoon can beat all commercial productions and become the world's box office champion. This record can be regarded as the greatest pride of all those involved in the production and bragging to future generations.
Now that they have won the Oscar, although they had expected it, when the award came, everyone was still very happy.
After the announcement, the other celebrities were also laughing and applauding. At this time, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they had to express their grace.
But to everyone's surprise, the person who was pushed out to receive the award with a smile by a group of young Disney people was a Chinese with black hair and yellow skin.
Yin Jun was stunned when he saw this.
Just by looking at this man's clothes, Yin Jun knew that he was from the mainland.
Could it be an artist from Shanghai Art Film Studio?
When I went to the African savannah to sketch, a large number of artists from Shangmei Factory participated, and they were always there for the painting after I came back.
Before his thoughts were finished, Yin Jun discovered that the Chinese man, who was originally walking a little slowly, was slowly getting firmer and faster.
The people next to him were also a little surprised. They also discovered that although this man was wearing a suit, his temperament and appearance were different from those in the United States.
When the Chinese man in his thirties stood on the podium, he took the trophy awkwardly. He looked down, and his aura suddenly shrank, his face turned red, as if he didn't know how to speak.
After smiling, Yin Jun stood up.
He was sitting almost in the middle. When he stood up, countless people saw him.
Then, Yin Jun raised his hands and clapped his hands vigorously.
When the winners deliver their speeches, the audience is usually very quiet and cannot disturb other people's speeches. This is a basic quality.
Because of this, Yin Jun's applause seemed very abrupt.
But the camera reacted immediately and cut to Yin Jun's body immediately.
Just a few seconds later, Lin Qingxia and Sophie Marceau stood up almost at the same time, clapping vigorously to cheer for the Chinese on the stage.
Next, the crew of "The Lion King", the crew of "Shawshank Redemption", the crew of "The Ultimate"... Al Pacino, Elizabeth Taylor...
Everyone, willing or unwilling, stood up and applauded.
For a moment, there was thunderous applause.
Seeing so many people cheering for him, the Chinese holding the trophy had a little red eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and held back.
He came to the microphone and said "thank you" in English.
Although everyone didn't hear clearly, the applause quickly subsided when they saw that he was about to speak.
"Thank you! Thank you everyone!" The Chinese voice was a little choked. "Especially thank you to a group of colleagues from Disney. In fact, they are more qualified to receive this award than our Chinese artists and animators. But they still took this opportunity. Give it to us. What I want to say to everyone is that although China is very backward in everything now, including the animation industry.
But we have a heart to keep catching up with the world, we are eager to get rid of poverty and backwardness, and we are eager to do better! Now we are working hard to make up for the time we missed before. With our continuous efforts, we will definitely succeed! I hope that next time, we Chinese people can still stand on this stage...Thank you everyone! "
"Pah, pah, pah..."
This time, without Yin Jun taking the lead, everyone stood and applauded again.
Regardless of whether this is pretentious or not, at least the words spoken by this Chinese person are brave, inspiring, not giving up and persevering. This kind of spirit happens to be what Americans like best.
Together with a group of old men from the Oscar organizing committee, they all felt that this Chinese man was very good and fit the temperament of the winner they thought.
When he went down with the trophy, Sophie Marceau, who was sitting down, leaned into Yin Jun's ear and said, "Jun, when this place is empty, I want to go to China. Can you accompany me?"
Lin Qingxia suddenly wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows.
If you bite your ears, just keep your voice down.
But he still spoke so loudly and his voice was so coquettish. What does this mean?
There had been a small confrontation between the two just now, but now Lin Qingxia subconsciously felt that Sophie Marceau was targeting her.
Yin Jun didn't notice Sister Qingxia's mood. He was very pleased to see Sophie Marceau willing to go, "After you finish filming the scene, come to Xiangjiang to find me. Let's go together."
"Okay~~"
Sophie Marceau said happily, "I want to go and see the place where you grew up~~"
Poor God, this time she had no intention of picking on Lin Qingxia. She just felt something in her heart after seeing the simple and restrained middle-aged man say these words so excitedly, so she wanted to go and have a look.
But last time Sophie Marceau deliberately picked on Lin Qingxia, Lin Qingxia didn't care much. This time, Lin Qingxia did not care.
But Sister Qingxia is not such a person who can't control her anger. She secretly remembered it in her heart and did not have an attack.
The performance of "The Lion King" naturally did not end. In the following Best Score category, it directly defeated the hit "Shawshank Redemption" and won the Oscar again.
This is not unexpected.
After all, in the award for Best Soundtrack, only "The Lion King" is the opponent of "The Shawshank Redemption". It will not be surprising who wins the award between the two.
However, those smart people have begun to have different expressions.
Why?
Oscar has always had a rule.
That is, if a movie has too many nominations, usually not all the awards will be given to it.
For example, "Ben-Hur" from decades ago is just an extreme example and cannot be used as an overview.
For a movie that is nominated for as many as five or six categories, the Oscars will definitely give it a choice.
Otherwise, if the previous small awards were given to it, the big prize would basically be out of reach for this movie.
If this movie didn't win any of the previous small awards, then most of the big awards are already in sight.
"The Shawshank Redemption" failed in the first award. Is this the same rule?
You know, of the four most important awards, "The Shawshank Redemption" was directly nominated for three!
If it gets all three of them, why should the Qilin Group fly into the sky?
