That year Huayu

Chapter 759 Tears at Oscar...

"Matt, are you sure?" Lin Nan raised his voice involuntarily.

"Well, I'm sure. Tom Hanks was on vacation with his family recently and did not attend the Oscars."

Hearing this answer, Lin Nan called him a good guy in his heart.

He had only suspected it before, but now he was almost certain that Juli Pictures had "produced" a "big drama."

They shot in Hollywood, used the Academy Award as the material, and used Huang Shengyi as the heroine. They performed an "inspirational suffering movie" with a "big heroine" for the entire mainland film and television and entertainment circles!

The final outcome of this "movie" was that God did not fulfill one's wishes and ended in a regrettable tragedy.

The plot is reasonable and eye-catching, and the heroine receives a lot of sympathy and comfort. Topics, fans, and popularity all skyrocket!

If everything goes well, Huang Shengyi will return to the public eye with this "big drama" and usher in the second spring of his acting career.

"It's so crazy! Was this ten years ago? The film and television industry, the media and netizens were all fooled into thinking they were fools? Today's news and information are not as obscure as before! Everyone has been well-informed for a long time!"

Lin Nan couldn't help but sneered. When the news reaches China, it will definitely be very lively both in the industry and online.

"Lin, what are you talking about?"

Leonardo and the other three were a little confused by Lin Nan's sudden move to speak Chinese.

"It's nothing, I'm just talking about a clown. Okay, let's get ready. It's almost four o'clock."

As Lin Nan said, the red carpet time for the Oscars is coming soon.

At this moment, Hollywood has finally ushered in the end of the awards season, which is also the climax of the climax.

The magnificent scene of huge crowds of people outside the Dolby Theater was even better than the Golden Globe Awards ceremony a month and a half ago.

After all, Oscar is the greatest honor in Hollywood and the goal of countless filmmakers.

At a quarter past four o'clock, the motorcade carrying Lin Nan, Leonardo, Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain drove out of Beverly Hills.

At the same time, a large number of filmmakers, actors and stars are also gathering outside the Dolby Theater.

The closer everyone gets to their destination, the closer the vehicle's driving speed is to a turtle speed, which is so slow that it makes people panic!

Domestic time, it is already past eight o'clock in the morning.

The whole Internet is full of news about the Oscars ceremony and the interview about Lin Nan that was just sent back by the movie channel. This is the only one.

"The red carpet of the 87th Academy Awards ceremony is about to begin; the venue is buzzing with people, and countless media and fans are eagerly waiting..."

"Two hours ago, the movie channel conducted an interview with Director Lin Nan in Beverly Hills and received definite news: Lin Nan Pictures will start a project to shoot a new film in the first half of the year. The film will be directed by Director Lin Nan himself. The film type will be a commercial film."

"Shocking news, Huang Shengyi was rushed to the Los Angeles City Hospital for rescue three hours ago. The specific situation is unknown and needs further understanding... I wish him safe and sound and can step on the red carpet on time..."

…

There was a lot of news, and the domestic film and television industry was a little overwhelmed for a while.

But a large number of actors, artists, film and television companies, and brokerage companies have basically remembered one message, that is: Director Lin Nan is going to make a new movie, and it is a commercial film!

In the minds of 99% of people in the industry, this is undoubtedly the biggest cake in the film industry this year!

Chinese film box office record holder, Golden Lion, Golden Bear and Double Golden Director, Silver Bear, Golden Ball, Golden Horse Best Director... All of Lin Nan's names are constantly flashing in the minds of countless actors!

Maybe, maybe in two or three hours, there will be one more item?

"The first half of the year? In other words, after Director Lin returns from Hollywood, he will immediately prepare a new movie?!"

"It's not easy. Director Lin's last commercial film was "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" the year before last. It's been a year and a half, and he is finally going to start a new film."

"Keep an eye on the news at Lin Nan Pictures, especially the casting matters..."

…

The news that Lin Nan was about to develop a new film became a headline in the entire film and television industry in less than half an hour.

In terms of popularity, it is even on par with news about the Oscars.

Guangguang and Wanda were completely confused. They had never heard of it before, so they were really a little panicked now.

"Let's inquire after he comes back."

…………

Looking at the sunset that was about to disappear outside, Lin Nan complained speechlessly.

"It's been half an hour, I guess I've only walked a kilometer, right?"

"It seems that someone fell down on the red carpet, and someone exceeded the time limit, which caused congestion." The assistant on the co-pilot answered Lin Nan.

In the extended business Mercedes-Benz, Lin Nan and the four of them looked at each other in confusion. Well, no need to guess, it must be a female star!

The sound of music and shouts are getting closer and closer, and the Dolby Theater is in front of us.

"Oh, it's rare that you have to wait for the Oscar red carpet. I didn't expect that we would bump into it this year. Leon, you must have encountered it many times, right?"

When he arrived outside the Dolby Theater, looking at the huge crowd of people and the guest waiting area, Matt Damon made a joke.

"That's right, who has allowed me to be nominated more times than you, Matt!"

The two hurt each other and ended up in a draw.

"Lin, Leon, Matt, Jessica, please go to the waiting area to rest for a while." The staff in front of the red carpet invited.

"okay."

The four of them followed the hostess and left the parking area in front of the red carpet surrounded by security. Countless fans kept chanting their names.

"It's Crystal!"

Jessica shouted excitedly as soon as she entered the waiting area.

In fact, Lin Nan was the first to see Liu Yifei, at first sight.

Dressed in a red dress, Miss Liu's skin looks as smooth as snow; her tall figure is no less impressive than the Hollywood actresses in the crowd.

The calm manner in which she moves and the smile on her face all reflect her confidence and aura!

The long black hair is slightly wavy and draped on the shoulders, and there is still a hint of charm; but look at that face again, yes, it is pure!

The shiny diamond-filled bracelet on her wrist shone brightly and dazzled when she lifted her hair from her ears...

"Lin, we meet again."

It wasn't until Marion Cotillard, who was wearing a white dress, waved to Lin Nan that Liu Yifei, who was chatting with her, reacted.

She looked at Lin Nan in surprise, and a sweet smile suddenly overflowed on her face, "Lin Nan, you are finally here."

After walking over in a few steps, Lin Nan took Liu Yifei's hand and greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, Marion. Tonight, you and Jessica are competitors."

Lin Nan pointed at Jessica Chastain a few meters away and joked.

"Then I'm not afraid of her. I've already won the Oscar for Best Actress." Marion Cotillard was equally confident.

While the three of them were reminiscing about old times, people kept coming over to say hello to Lin Nan.

Scarlett Johansson, wearing a dark green long skirt, looks very prominent; Naomi Watts' fish scale-like patchwork skirt is also very eye-catching;

When Dakota Johnson came over wearing a backless slit dress, many people remembered that "Fifty Shades of Grey" is a movie produced by Crystal Pictures!

"The more capable the actresses are, the more conservative they dress. They all rely on their temperament. Just like Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett..."

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were commenting on the actresses on the scene, Nolan signaled.

"Lin Nan, the crew and I will go in first. See you later. Maybe we will be very close."

Liu Yifei smiled and blinked her right eye, she was so beautiful.

"Okay, see you later."

Ten minutes after the crew of "Interstellar" walked on the red carpet, Lin Nan, Leonardo and others also officially stepped onto the red carpet of the Oscars ceremony under the arrangement of the staff.

By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and it was early eight o'clock in the evening.

"Director Lin, come on!"

Someone from the movie channel carried a camera, followed Lin Nan's steps in the infield, and gave him a thumbs up, which was quite conspicuous.

"Thank you and happy new year."

Lin Nan smiled and nodded, and said the next three words to the camera.

After a month and a half, I walked into the Dolby Theater again. The atmosphere at this awards ceremony was even more enthusiastic than the last Golden Globe Awards.

Following the guidance of the staff, Lin Nan and the four found the location of "Manchester by the Sea".

Looking at the "Interstellar" crew and Liu Yifei who looked "depressed" five meters away, Lin Nan could only give her a "helpless" expression.

As crews, filmmakers, actors and stars entered the scene one after another, the domestic entertainment industry and social platforms were already out of control.

Juli Pictures and Yang Tsai himself are constantly "clarifying" and "explaining" that Huang Shengyi's invitation to participate in the Oscars is not fake, not directed and acted by the company, and not deceiving the public... The accidents that have occurred one after another are also true. It was an accident!

But how do you say that? Yang Zai and Ju Li don't have such a thing as character, and no one on the Internet believes them.

"This is deceiving everyone as fools and fools!"

"First, the dress was stolen, which attracted a lot of traffic; then, the new dress was 'crowdfunded' and chartered to Hollywood, and the topic was once again overwhelming; finally, it was time for the red carpet, but what happened? Did you faint? Urgent rescue? Where did Juli Pictures find the screenwriter? It’s so outdated, so bloody! It’s full of flaws!”

"Huang Shengyi and Juli Pictures have never posted photos of their dresses or invitations from Hollywood from beginning to end. Everything is said and issued by themselves!"

"Script, right? Acting, right? Ever since "Kung Fu", Huang Shengyi has been an 'actor'. This so-called participation in the Oscars fully proves that the film industry owes her a 'Queen of Actresses'!"

"I have never seen such a shameless actor. It's embarrassing to go to Hollywood! He is full of cleverness and unlimited hype... Ju Li is a typical male thief and female prostitute..."

"There is no news at all, so they just issued a press release with a few photos of Huang Shengyi lying on the hospital bed with a "painful look on her face"? Juli Pictures would like to tell you, what disease caused her to faint?

Why does the front foot say it needs to be rescued, but the back foot can wake up and rest on its own? It's not life-threatening yet, does it require further hospitalization? I don’t think she needs treatment. Once the Oscar ceremony is over, her condition will naturally be cured! "

"This is the biggest joke and the most shameless clown since the beginning of the new year!"

"I went to Hollywood to act in a real-life version of "Gone Girl"! Use the Oscars to hype up, but don't see if you can afford the risk of revealing your secret? It's just asking for death!"

"It's been more than three hours since the red carpet started and Tom Hanks hasn't appeared yet..."

…………

Lin Nan rubbed his face with both hands to focus his attention as much as possible.

It was now the warm-up performance before the awards ceremony, and standing on the stage was Lady Gaga.

Although this person often has some weird looks, when it comes to singing, there is no doubt that he is a capable person.

In less than ten minutes, another queen-level singer, Taylor Swift, took the stage again.

Matt Damon joked quietly from the side:

"Tsk, tsk, it's another song written for an ex-boyfriend. Leon, I think you need to learn from her and take it easy, haha..."

"You talk a lot of nonsense. How many of the people she wrote in her songs didn't get scolded? Who of the people who broke up with me peacefully didn't have their net worth or career rise?"

Damn it, Lin Nan looked at Leonardo in shock. Good guy, you said it so nakedly?

Jessica Chastain looked at the two men with equal disdain and shook her head.

"You should still care about the results of tonight's awards, right? Our competitors are all very strong!"

After hearing Lin Nan's words, the expressions of the three people suddenly became more solemn.

More than half of tonight’s opponents for the Oscars have faced them at the Golden Globes;

But this does not mean that "Manchester by the Sea" can win at the Golden Globe Awards, and it can also win at the Oscars. Because the facts have told everyone countless times that the difference between the two awards is still very big.

During the nearly one-hour warm-up performance, Lin Nan was really bored and glanced at Liu Yifei countless times.

Miss Liu could instantly detect his gaze every time and respond with various expressions and smiles.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 87th Academy Awards Party..."

When the host appeared wearing only a pair of shorts, Lin Nan was blinded.

It is indeed an Oscar that is used to celebrate achievements every year. It is really fun.

"Is this an homage to the scene in Birdman?"

Many people thought of this belatedly, including Lin Nan and Leonardo.

"The director of 'Birdman' is also the director of 'The Revenant.'"

Leonardo said suddenly, his tone was quite complicated.

He hopes that his new director will win the award, but he doesn’t want the latter to win the award tonight!

After all, he was nominated for Best Actor for "Manchester By the Sea" and all other films were competitors.

"...Today there are still many familiar friends who will compete for the statuette, so next, we will enter the award ceremony..."

As the voice on the stage fell, everyone on the scene immediately became very energetic, and the moment finally came when the answer was revealed.

"Oscar winner for Best Foreign Language Film, Sister Ida..."

Lin Nan clapped along with everyone. He thought about how obsessed the domestic film industry was with the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Zhidaoxianzai was really obsessed!

Best documentary short, best documentary feature, best live-action short, best animated short, best animated feature...

Marginal awards were awarded one after another, followed by more important awards.

The Grand Budapest Hotel, which won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Musical/Comedy, performed very strongly.

After winning three statuettes in a row for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Costume Design, and Best Art Direction, it was ended by "Interstellar."

However, the crew of "Interstellar" only won the Best Visual Effects Award.

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, who held up the Little Golden Man trophy that the crew had just received and shook it at him.

Nolan, Matthew McConaughey and others on the side shouted to him with smiles on their faces: "Lin, it's up to you!"

"It's almost our turn..."

Jessica's words drew the attention of Lin Nan and the others back to the award podium. We are only two or three away from the Best Original Screenplay award.

"Oscar Award for Best Editing: "Crunch"..."

…

"Oscar for Best Cinematography: "Birdman"..."

…

“Oscar winner for Best Adapted Screenplay: Graham Moore, ‘The Imitation Game.’ Congratulations!”

With the award for Best Adapted Screenplay announced, "Manchester by the Sea" is finally up for the first of six nominations.

While giving his acceptance speech on the stage, Lin Nan was already a little agitated.

To be honest, he already has the Best Original Screenplay Award, and his desire to win this award for the second time is not very strong. He wants further back!

"Lin Nan..."

The call came from the side and it was Liu Yifei.

Lin Nan originally wanted to give her an OK gesture, but somehow it turned into a scissor hand gesture, which finally earned her a nice eye roll.

“Oscar winner for Best Original Screenplay: Nicholas Gakkobone, Birdman, congratulations!”

Hearing this answer, Lin Nan didn't feel any regret. Instead, he felt a little relaxed and muttered: "Good things are saved for the last."

"Lin, we have five more nominations."

When Matt Damon said this, he stuttered. He was more nervous than anyone else. Because next, it’s the awards for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress.

At this time, both Leonardo and Jessica Chastain looked silent, and even their legs were shaking slightly.

Everyone is very nervous!

"Matt, come on you..."

Before Lin Nan finished speaking, he was interrupted by someone on the awards stage:

“Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actress: Patricia Arquette, Boyhood, congratulations!”

I no longer have the heart to encourage Matt Damon, because the next one is the Best Supporting Actor Award.

Actors who can win the same award at the Golden Globe and Oscar are basically all real talents, just like this Best Supporting Actress.

The moment she walked off the stage, Lin Nan and others could clearly detect that Matt Damon was getting more nervous. Even Liu Yifei's eyes were always wandering between Lin Nan and the others and the award podium.

"Congratulations to the Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actor, J.K. Simmons, "Crunch"!"

The list is revealed, it’s not Matt!

He paused, then smiled helplessly in the eyes of several people, leaned back on the chair, and said mockingly:

"It's over, it has nothing to do with me anymore. Lin, Leon, Jessica, it's up to you."

Golden Globe, Berlin, Oscar. Matt Damon is the first among the cast of "Manchester by the Sea" to complete three stops!

"There will be opportunities in the future." Lin Nan could only comfort him like this.

At this point, out of six nominations, only four are left. And the Oscar awards that have not yet been announced are these four!

"Jessica, come on."

Liu Yifei's clear voice sounded, as if she was very close.

"Crystal, I..."

"Oscar winner for Best Actress..."

The sound on the awards stage sounded again, and Jessica turned her head subconsciously, as did Lin Nan and others.

“…Julianne Moore, ‘Still Alice,’ congratulations!”

Jessica Chastain was still not as good as Matt Damon just now. The emotions of loss, depression, and decadence instantly surged into her heart and were written on her face.

"Jessica, that's Julianne Moore, the real Grand Slam!" Lin Nan said.

"It's not unfair for you to lose to her."

Leonardo spoke very softly, obviously still nervous about the upcoming Best Actor award.

"Julianne Moore..."

Jessica Chastain muttered, although she felt very uncomfortable, but she admitted that the other party really deserved it, including Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Golden Globe, Guild and today's Oscar, the Grand Slam Film Awards back!

"I understand. Lin, if you have a movie in the future, remember to consider me. Crystal and I have a very good relationship..."

After hearing Jessica's first words, Lin Nan was still nodding. It's nothing, it's easy to talk about. He always likes to use acquaintances;

But after hearing her last words, Director Lin suddenly turned dark. How come you, a foreign girl, know this?

Just when Lin Nan returned Jessica's speechless look, Leonardo couldn't tell whether he was shaking with excitement or nervousness.

He has been competing for the Olympics for 20 years, and every time he looks forward to the Oscar statuette with the most sincere and sincere yearning.

To this day, he is still like this, eager for it!

The eyes of all the guests and filmmakers were focused on the stage.

"Oscar winner for Best Actor: Eddie Redmayne, 'The Theory of Everything' Congratulations!"

With a bang, the scene was in chaos.

Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Matt Damon, and Jessica Chastain all looked at Leonardo. Many guests at the scene also glanced here intentionally or unintentionally.

Leonardo's blue pupils were blurred. He held most of his face with his hands and wiped them vigorously, just like ordinary people would relieve fatigue.

The next second, he closed his eyes tightly, his breathing was completely out of rhythm, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably.

Lin Nan and Jessica, who were sitting on the left and right, could clearly see the water stains in the corners of his eyes, which were undoubtedly tears.

In the 21st year of trying for the Olympics, he failed.

"Leon, that movie is exactly the opposite of Manchester By the Sea, maybe that's the main reason..."

Six to four, Lin Nan was also panicking now. But as a very good friend, he still wanted to comfort Leonardo.

"Leon, take your time."

"Well, you will succeed sooner or later."

Matt Damon and Jessica said one after another.

"I, they..."

After opening his mouth, Leonardo just spat out a few words feebly and then never spoke again.

He opened his eyes, his blue pupils were bloodshot, red, and filled with tears.

Liu Yifei also frowned, with a hint of melancholy beauty on her delicate face. She was worried about Lin Nan.
