Chapter 431: Second Best Foreign Language Film Award!

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening to all the viewers in front of the TV!"

"It's the day of the Oscars again. Time flies!"

"Let's see which familiar faces are here!"

"Wow, look who that is, the great director James Cameron!"

"His movie "Avatar" this year created a box office miracle. As of March 5, 2010, the movie has made $760 million in North America and an astonishing $1.72 billion overseas!"

"This is crazy!"

The host Steve Martin stood on the stage, and the live picture was given to the "Avatar" crew. Cameron, who was sitting in the center, smiled very happily and waved to the camera.

This year is indeed a year for him to be proud of. He once again created a box office record that has never been seen before and will probably never be seen again.

"Let me see who else is here."

"Wow, Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, George Clooney, Morgan Freeman, Meryl Streep, Matt Damon."

"They are all famous Hollywood stars!"

"Except for the stage of the Academy Awards, I believe there is no other place in the world where these superstars can gather together."

Another host, Alec Baldwin, had a proud expression on his face.

He can be proud.

The European film industry, which was able to produce films such as "Roman Holiday", "The Legend of Sicily", "The Legend of 1900", "Life is Beautiful" and "First Kiss", has been completely weakened since the 21st century, and no classic films have appeared.

The world film market has become the world of Hollywood. Europe is about to lose its own domestic market, and the UK has completely surrendered and become the back garden of Hollywood.

Hollywood's famous actors can almost be equated with international stars.

From North America to Oceania, Europe and even South America, all actors who have some aspirations in the European and American circles flock to Hollywood and regard it as their place of struggle.

After absorbing outstanding actors and film practitioners from all over the world, Hollywood uses them to shoot a large number of movies and then exports them to the world.

Over the past decade, the siphon effect has long been formed, and the European film industry has no ability to compete with Hollywood and Hong Kong Island in the 1970s and 1980s.

Alec Baldwin can proudly say that Hollywood is the world's film center, and the famous actors and directors here are the best in the world.

Look, after looking around the guests on the scene, he pointed to Wu Yuan.

"Wow, there is also our great director Daniel Wu from China. Daniel also brought one of his Chinese-language films today, which was nominated for this year's Best Foreign Language Film Award."

"This is a very good science fiction film, but why didn't Daniel's other work "Li Wen" submit to this year's Oscars?"

"This is the movie that won the Best Film Award in Venice."

Alec Baldwin's tone was somewhat teasing, but he was also quite serious.

Compared with commercial science fiction films such as "Gravity", "Li Wen" that was killing in Venice is obviously more suitable for winning awards.

Wu Yuan in the audience heard Alec Baldwin's teasing and smiled without saying anything.

"Li Wen" is indeed better for winning awards.

But this year, did the Radio and Television Bureau submit "Gravity" to the Oscars just for the sake of winning awards?

This is also to show the new face of China!

Art films such as "Li Wen" are not small-minded, but the content only focuses on the stories of a few families in a small community. In terms of business card effect, can it be as big as "Gravity"?

How cool is Gravity? It is a story about the science and technology in space in the future of China. Even if it cannot win an award, as long as it is nominated for an Oscar, it will attract the attention of many audiences around the world.

Even if only one person out of a hundred people is curious about this movie and chooses to find resources to watch it, that person will have a completely new impression of China.

The social outlook of China is really not what it was in the 1970s and 1980s!

This is why the General Administration must submit Gravity.

Wu Yuan smiled and waved at the screen, indicating that he was very confident in Gravity.

"Haha, it seems that our director Daniel is full of confidence today. Is there a small note of his acceptance speech in the right pocket of his suit?"

"Don't answer me, I know." The host Steve Martin said to Wu Yuan with a wink.

After teasing Wu Yuan for a few words, the two hosts grabbed some guests on the scene and teased them for a while.

After chatting for five minutes, Alec Baldwin said, "Then, the awards ceremony has officially begun. Let's welcome the first group of presenters!"

The awards began to be presented one by one.

The first awards that were presented were definitely consolation prizes and secondary awards.

Best Costume Design, Best Visual Effects, Best Supporting Actress, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Effects, Best Supporting Actor...

After every two consolation prizes, there was a Best Supporting Actor award.

Most of the consolation prizes were awarded to the popular Oscars "The Hurt Locker" and the technically pioneering "Avatar".

The Best Supporting Actor award was presented to Mo'Nique from "Precious Life" and Christoph Waltz from "Inglourious Basterds" for the Best Supporting Actor.

These awards had nothing to do with Wu Yuan, so he just sat in the audience and watched for fun.

However, after the Best Supporting Actor award was presented, the Best Foreign Language Film Award, which was closely related to the crew of Gravity, began to be presented.

This was the only award that Gravity was nominated for tonight.

Whether it was Gong Li, who had seen many storms, or Wang Xueqi, who came to the Oscars for the first time, they were inevitably nervous.

Even Liu Yifei, who actually had nothing to do with the film, quietly held Wu Yuan's right hand and looked at him nervously.

"It's okay, I will win the award." Wu Yuan comforted her confidently.

Before he could finish his words, the award presenter Quentin opened the envelope in his hand and approached the microphone with a smile: "The winner of the 82nd Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film is——"

"Congratulations to "Gravity" from China!"

"Daniel Wu!"

Wu Yuan laughed and stood up with a smile on his face. After hugging Gong Li and Wang Xueqi, he hugged Liu Yifei and said, "I told you, I will win the award!"

He was so confident in "Gravity"!

This is a science fiction film that can win the Oscar for Best Director on its original trajectory!

No matter how much money was spent on public relations at the time, a science fiction film can win the heavyweight Oscar award, and its excellence is unquestionable!

The group of old men in the Academy of Oscars will not risk reducing their credibility and refuse to give this award to "Gravity"!

"Let's go on stage to receive the award!" Wu Yuan said to Gong Li and Wang Xueqi in high spirits. (End of this chapter)
