"There is no story more beautiful than Midnight in Paris. You should also pay attention to the director Damien. Although he did not get a nomination for best director, he got the best cinematography. This is a kind of recognition. .Everyone who watches "Midnight in Paris" should marvel at how he used natural light when shooting interiors and exteriors."

"Although "Avatar" vividly showed the gorgeous scenes on Pandora, every frame of "Midnight in Paris" is full of art. I like every shot switch in it, the delicate technique and lens performance. The feeling brought by the details makes me sink.”

"Although "Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker" are both good movies, compared to "Midnight in Paris", they are like a hodgepodge."

"Filming real scenes is far more difficult than special effects. "Midnight in Paris" is truly a refreshing work for the audience."

“If Midnight in Paris had its lines in French, it would have no rival.”

"Young people, please go to the cinema and watch "Midnight in Paris" again, to experience the mellow confrontation between time travel and literary dream pursuit."

"If a movie is a novel, then the storyline presented in "Midnight in Paris" through metaphor, fantasy, metaphor, exaggeration and symbolism will allow readers to gain more unique thoughts and insights."

""Avatar" shows us a science fiction story that takes place on a beautiful and unknown planet, and also conveys respect for nature through the battle between two races. It is a very profound movie and should not be buried in the Oscars because of special effects. "

"The hidden details of "Avatar" start from the narration of the male protagonist of the movie. While discussing environmental protection, nature, and balance, it also reveals the contradiction and dislocation between high technology and bad life."

"The profound impact that 'The Hurt Locker' has had on moviegoers should not be underestimated just because it failed at the box office, just like 'Avatar' was nothing but box office."

"."

Xiang Yang, who is still in South Africa, saw the media discussion triggered after the announcement of the Oscar nomination list. He once thought that Anna Wintour and Warner were responsible for all the media in North America in order to win the award.

It wasn't until he gradually discovered that many of these reports were reprinted from Europe that he finally woke up.

Although "Midnight in Paris" did well at the box office in North America, it is an indisputable fact that it was more popular in Europe.

perhaps

Maybe it's because Hollywood movies have too strong an impact on local movies in European countries. "Avatar" swept the box office like wheat, so Europeans are anxious this time?

Xiang Yang, who didn't know much about the details, could only give this answer.

After all, Paris is European.

Yes, no wonder the British are all siding with the French this time, Anna Wintour and Bill Nighy are British.

"Oh no, no! I got the nomination!"

Seeing that his name was spelled Hsiang Yang in the nomination for Best Costume Design, Xiang Yang almost didn't recognize it.

Waituma Pinyin.

"Oh shit."

After cursing, Xiang Yang called directly and asked Hermès' lawyers to contact the Oscar organizer, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, to write the pinyin of his name correctly.

Also, apologize to yourself.

If you attend an event with Liu Qianqian and the other party misspells Liu Qianqian's name on the invitation letter, forget it. After all, the invitation letter will not be made public. Just change it and send it over.

Everyone has oversights, and it can be resolved privately as long as there is no impact.

But what is an Oscar?

The focus of global attention.

What's the point of spelling my name now in the pinyin of Waitoma?

Due to historical reasons, the pinyin of Vetoma is still closely related to some historical celebrities, place names, and old brands, so this situation cannot be changed. Xiang Yang can agree.

After all, this spelling has been passed down for hundreds of years, so there is no need to be overly critical.

But when your name appears internationally, the writing format should follow the official one.

What's official?

Is the "Chinese Pinyin Plan" promulgated by the First Chinese Congress in 1958 official enough?

In 1981, the United Nations announced that it would abolish the Western Pinyin and use the "Hanyu Pinyin Plan". Is this official enough?

There are places where Wetoma Pinyin can exert its residual heat, but it is definitely not in its own name.

Just like in the region search on the websites of HYS and Hermès, places like Bay Bay and Hong Kong Island should be placed together with whomever they should.

Xiangyang couldn't control others, but he had never been vague about caring for himself.

"If you don't change, you won't go. I don't care about the Oscar statuette."

Just when Chinese movie fans were happy and excited because Xiang Yang's name was among the nominations for "Midnight in Paris", he himself didn't care at all.

Oscar is not his main battlefield.

I got involved in film production simply because my wife Liu Qianqian is an actress, and I also want to show Chinese elements through the film.

Not letting the other party apologize in the newspaper is already saving face for Oscar.

He is a designer, so he is not used to Oscar.

Besides, he was reasonable in this matter.

Can't you see the big "Xiang Yang" written in the American issue of "Vogue"?

Can't you see the big Xiang Yang written in "Le Monde"?

Even when he comes to Africa, the local national newspapers will write the words "Xiang Yang". Who do you think Oscar is?

Of course, Xiang Yang did not tell Liu Qianqian about this matter, who was still in China and was very happy for him to get the nomination.

My wife is pregnant, so there is no need to worry about such things.

What's more, Liu Qianqian is very happy at the moment.

The nominee for Best Original Screenplay was the writing team of "Midnight in Paris", of which she was also a member.

This matter, which was ignored by most movie fans after its release, finally started to pay attention after the Oscar nomination was confirmed.

This incident caused little discussion overseas, but it caused a sensation at home.

Mainly, when everyone checked the information and found Liu Qianqian's name in the "Midnight in Paris" team, they all felt that this was incredible.

Can she still be a screenwriter? !

Not only her, but her husband Xiang Yang is also one of the screenwriters? !

Let’s take a closer look at the writing team of “Midnight in Paris”. Is there any moisture in it?

It seems that all the main members of the film team are there, including the producer (Bill), director (Damien), art director (Anna), costume director (Xiang Yang), Liu Qianqian and JCE

Such a strange long list made even the Oscar organizers shake their heads after seeing it.

<divclass="contentadv">But the key is that this is still registered with the Writers Guild of America.

Fortunately, there is only one statuette, otherwise if they were given one each, uninformed people would think that "Midnight in Paris" swept the Oscars when they saw their group photo.

so.

Are Chinese filmmakers competing for Oscars again? !

Both important awards include Chinese filmmakers! ! !

Yes, at this moment, Xiang Yang was inexplicably included among the "Chinese filmmakers".

Before "Midnight in Paris", whether it was "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" or "Heroes", more and more mainland movie fans knew about the Oscars, paid attention to the Oscars, and increasingly expected Chinese filmmakers to win at the Oscars every year. .

But after so many years, this may be the closest a Chinese filmmaker has come to an Oscar.

For a time, no one in the public opinion on the Internet paid attention to the fight between Brother Xun and Li Bingbing, and no one cared about the "fraudulent donation scandal" of the International Chapter.

Everyone is talking about the possibility of "Midnight in Paris" beating "Avatar" at the Oscars.

On major movie forums, post bars, QQ groups, bibs and other social networking platforms, many people have given their own predictions, some are optimistic and some are bearish.

Because the box office of "Avatar" is so explosive.

"Avatar", which 'opened a new era in film history', crossed the US$10 billion threshold without batting an eyelid and directly hit the US$20 billion box office mark.

In China, it also swept all box office records.

Not many people in China have watched "Midnight in Paris", and China Film has not yet arranged to release it after it was introduced. Fans who can really appreciate this movie are far behind by "Avatar".

"So? Can I win the prize?"

While Chinese netizens were still arguing excitedly, Xiangyang also received a reply from Little John.

When the Hermès legal department received the call from Xiang Yang, it immediately noticed the seriousness of the problem.

Xiang is not a person without temper.

People in the legal department have long known that this guy is not as good-tempered as others think.

As long as he raises a question, he is telling you that this matter has touched my bottom line, and you can take care of the rest.

Therefore, when they reported the matter immediately, they contacted Little John.

Little John, who was still excited that "Midnight in Paris" had received so many Oscar nominations, quickly dug out the newspaper when he heard about it.

Sure enough, it was the pinyin of Weituma.

Maybe, Xiang Yang really doesn’t want to go.

"Just wait for my news. It's not appropriate for you to come forward in this kind of matter." Little John, who knew his friend's temper, didn't play tricks. He could handle this kind of thing most easily.

In other words, it is most appropriate for him to stand up for this matter.

First, he is white.

Second, he knows how to deal with white people.

As for why he stood up for Xiang Yang?

Emotional factors are only part of it. More importantly, this expression is a need and a consensus reached by people in the circle.

The consensus is that although this kind of thing happens from time to time in our circle, we are always criticizing it.

You see, whenever we are suspected of 'RD', we will quickly 'remove' the product from the shelves.

If things get a little bigger, we will come out and apologize.

But before hanging up the phone, he still said sincerely:

"Xiang, give Anna and the others a call. You don't have to worry about me. I will do my best to support you."

"Thanks, don't worry."

After leaving the matter to Little John, Xiangyang immediately communicated with Anna, Axel, Pierre and others.

He never dreamed that these people were just like Little John in the United States and had a much tougher attitude than him.

The purpose of showing one's "truth, goodness and beauty" is the same as that of people and brands in the fashion circle actively investing in charity.

In the end, it is all about gaining the right to speak in public opinion while building a good brand and self-image.

What is an Oscar?

The focus of global attention.

A place where many luxury brands pay entertainment stars to wear their own branded clothing and jewelry.

And now you're 'discriminating' against our designers?

We need to use you to create topics, why not use you to create topics.

That night, when he was being interviewed for his Oscar nomination, John Jr., who had been approved, blasted the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organizer of the Oscars, directly in front of reporters.

"I'm worried about Oscar, Xiang Yang has always been a very good person.

Whether at work or in life, he is a respectable person.

It’s hard for me to believe that when XiangYang was dedicating his love to Africa, he was treated like this by Oscar.

I think this is a shameful act. If Oscar doesn't apologize, I think Obama, as the first African-American president of the United States, should set an example.

Oh my god, this is something that is unimaginable in our fashion industry. I really can’t believe that the Oscars, which has a history of nearly 90 years, still has such a problem.

This reminds me again of the history of blood and tears for non-white actors at the Oscars.”

Just as the Oscar organizers received the letter from Hermès’ lawyers, Hermès’ official website also published an announcement.

There are two contents in the announcement.

One is congratulations to "Midnight in Paris" for winning multiple Oscar nominations.

The other is a statement from Pierre:

“Hermès has long been against all forms of bigotry, hatred and inequality. We hope to promote society through our products and participate in more artistic works, inspire people to take action on deep-seated social issues, and Encouraging people to shape a better future together.”

Immediately afterwards, HYS also issued a statement on its official website, accusing the Oscar organizers of discriminating against all series of creative directors.

then

That night, Sarkozy, who had experienced two improvements in the polls, came to join in the fun after smelling the smell.

"Although Xiang is a Chinese, he is also a member of our French society.

Like many of our African-American compatriots, we can create our own value in a free, equal, and just society.

"Midnight in Paris" has made outstanding contributions to the tourism industry in Paris. As the President of France, I am shocked that Xiang Yang was "controversially treated" by the Oscar organizers while accompanying the Ministry of Sports on a trip to assist African athletes."

Being Asian is nothing in America.

But when reports associate this Asian with the African continent, in the United States, as long as you have a little bit of black in your body, you can't sit back and be idle.

"Oscar! Give us black people an explanation!"
