Chapter 432: The First Movie Queen in the Era of Light!

"Los Angeles News - Chinese film Gravity won the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the 82nd Academy Awards held in Los Angeles!"

"Gong Li shed tears at the scene, and her acceptance speech was very sincere. She thanked Wu Yuan for choosing her to star in this movie!"

"Wang Xueqi thanked Wu Yuan on the spot and said that Wu Yuan was the best director he had ever worked with!"

"Gravity" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Director Wu Yuan showed his affection on the spot and kissed his girlfriend Liu Yifei!"

When Quentin announced that Gravity won the award, a large number of on-site news were sent back to China through the CCTV reporter team at almost the same time.

It can be said that every move of the creators of Gravity was reported in real time in China.

In the Sina live broadcast room, which has been broadcasting text simultaneously, domestic fans who follow the Oscars are even more excited.

Although Wu Yuan has won the Best Foreign Language Film Award once, domestic fans are not too many of such things that win glory for the country abroad.

In addition, apart from Wu Yuan, both Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige failed to win the Oscar several times, which made them feel that the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is of great value.

The award that Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige loved but could not get was easily won by Wu Yuan.

Could it be that Wu Yuan is better than Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige?

If this question was asked five years ago, or even three years ago, it would probably cause a lot of controversy.

Although Wu Yuan has achieved great results in Hollywood, the three "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies have been sold well all over the world, and the box office of "Rush Hour 3" is also very good.

But in the eyes of domestic movie fans, especially those who have experienced the era of awards being king in the 1990s and the first decade of the 2000s, if you don't have a heavyweight award, you can't be considered the top director.

This idea was instilled in the public by the fifth and sixth generation directors in China.

Directors such as Jia Zhangke and Wang Xiaoshuai, even if their movies don't sell well at the box office, are undisputed big directors in terms of domestic publicity because they frequently win awards in Europe.

Directors like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, who won the Palme d'Or, the Golden Lion, and the Golden Bear when domestic films were declining, are the top directors, and no one can shake their status.

However, the domestic reputation has changed in the past two years.

On the one hand, the domestic box office market is getting better and better, and there are more and more movies with box office exceeding 100 million, 200 million, and 300 million. The domestic publicity has also shifted from focusing on awards to focusing on box office.

In terms of box office, Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou together have less box office than Wu Yuan.

On the other hand, Wu Yuan also won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film in Venice last year. In terms of the value of the award, it is not much worse than Chen Kaige's Palme d'Or, and is only slightly worse than Zhang Yimou's Golden Lion + Golden Bear.

While catching up in awards, Wu Yuan's box office performance is also impressive enough.

More and more movie fans gradually feel that he seems to be even more awesome than Chen Kaige.

As for whether he can compare with Zhang Yimou, with Zhang Yimou perfectly handling the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, their status is still evenly matched.

However, Zhang Yimou had some bad luck this year. The movie "Three Shots Surprise" was released during the Lunar New Year holiday, breaking his bottom line of bad movies. The unprecedented bad movies have greatly reduced the public's favorability towards him.

No one can believe that Zhang Yimou can make such a bad movie

Now that Wu Yuan has won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for the second time, the public opinion on the domestic Internet has immediately turned around.

"I think Wu Yuan is even more awesome than Zhang Yimou. Zhang Yimou did a good job at the opening ceremony of the Olympics, but Wu Yuan is winning glory for the country!"

"Apart from Li An, a Taiwanese, only Wu Yuan has won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and twice!"

"His fame in the world is much higher than Zhang Yimou. When I traveled to Japan before, people talked to me about Wu Yuan as soon as they heard that I was Chinese!"

"Same as the above, when I was in France, someone took the initiative to talk to me about Wu Yuan."

"Only people in foreign countries know how famous Wu Yuan is in foreign countries. Most Chinese people would start the conversation with Wu Yuan when chatting with foreigners!"

"In the past, everyone could only talk about Cheng Long!"

On the domestic Internet, as the news of Wu Yuan's award came back, it caused a thousand waves. Whether it was Sina Weibo, which had just been established and operated for a short time, or Sina's Oscar text live broadcast room, the discussion of Wu Yuan increased dramatically.

Although the topic of discussion gradually shifted from his award to who was more powerful between him and Zhang Yimou,

But there is no doubt that Wu Yuan has once again become the center of hot discussion among domestic netizens. When major newspapers go online tomorrow, it will be even more sensational!

At this time at the Oscars ceremony, Wu Yuan had no time to think about how much public opinion he would cause in China after winning the award.

Wu Yuan was full of confidence in the award of "Gravity", thinking that this was a 90% chance.

After Gong Li and Wang Xueqi returned to the stage, they looked back and forth with the trophy in their arms, and they were so excited that they couldn't get over it.

But he had already prepared himself mentally. It was the second time he won the award, so his mood soon calmed down.

Rather than being excited about winning the award, he was more concerned about another thing at the moment.

Can "The Blind Side" win the Best Actress Award!

Guangshidai now needs an Oscar trophy to fill its facade, even if it is just a Best Actress trophy!

On the stage, awards were presented one after another, interspersed with singing and dancing, and famous North American singers even went on stage to sing.

The Hurt Locker won the Best Original Screenplay.

The Best Adapted Screenplay went to Precious Life.

Up won the Best Animated Feature Film without any suspense.

Avatar also won a relatively valuable Best Cinematography Award.

Star Trek, a sci-fi film nominated for this year's Oscars, was the worst, with only one Best Makeup Award to comfort it.

Sure enough, the old white men in the academy still look down on sci-fi films.

Finally, as Wu Yuan's psychological activities continued, a group of people walked onto the stage and began to present the Best Actress Award.

Yes, a group of people.

There were a total of 6 presenters for the Best Actress Award this year!

Not only the Best Actress Award, but also the Best Actor Award to be presented later, there were also 6 presenters.

The Oscar Organizing Committee played a big game this time.

When the six presenters introduced one nominee in turn, and the five award-winning guests kept switching on the big screen,

"The winner of the 82nd Academy Award for Best Actress is——" Hollywood celebrity Sean Penn, one of the award presenters, opened the envelope in a gentlemanly manner.

"Gwyneth Paltrow - "The Blind Side"!"

Gwyneth Paltrow stood up in surprise, covering her mouth.

Beside her, John was even more excited than her, almost jumping up from his seat.

Wu Yuan's mouth curled up, he laughed from the bottom of his heart and gave applause.

Tonight's Oscar journey is a complete success! (End of this chapter)
