Chapter 1115 1215. The youngest best director
"Interstellar"'s consecutive failure at the Oscars has also caused dissatisfaction among many people, especially in China. Many netizens can't wait to go to the White Room website in the United States to petition to find out whether there is really something shady about the Oscars.
In particular, several awards that netizens thought they were destined to win unexpectedly failed, which made many people who wanted to support "Interstellar" and Nie Wei even more unbearable.
"I just don't understand. How is Keanu's performance worse than Leonardo's? It doesn't have to be about fighting a bear, but just roaring and screaming. Every emotion of Cooper played by Keanu must be in place." , even if he doesn't have to explode with emotion, he can still let that kind of emotion penetrate into the hearts of the audience, especially in the last scene where he sees his daughter through the bookshelf in a high-dimensional space. Keanu's desperate eyes at that time made my whole body tremble with sadness. I don’t accept that he lost the Oscar.”
Some fans of Keanu complained about the handsome old man on the Internet. They felt that he lost the honor even though he performed better than Leonardo. They felt that the Oscar was unfair.
"Acting is not easy to judge, it all depends on the judges' preferences, but there is always a comparison between the level of music. Nie Wei's "Starry Sky" was included in Berkeley's teaching materials and was listed as one of the top ten songs of the 21st century by an authoritative music magazine. Epic music, a soundtrack like this couldn’t even win an Oscar. I wonder if the Oscar judges really vote with their ears?”
"They may choose three short and one long."
Most of the four shortlisted works are one word or a combination of two words. Only the winning soundtrack has a very long name, so some netizens said this.
This joke became an instant hit on the Chinese Internet.
"I think I can also be an Oscar judge. After all, if you choose three short and one long, choose one long, three long and one short, choose one short. If you don't meet the criteria, choose C. That's right."
"I instantly felt that I was not far away from the level of Oscar judges."
"It seems that naming is also a skill. In the future, try to make the name longer. Will the probability of winning a prize be higher?"
"I suggest that Chinese entertainment companies sponsor a special dice for each Oscar judge."
Netizens happily teased and ridiculed the Oscar selection, especially for the best soundtrack. They were really about to blackmail the Oscar judges.
In fact, not only netizens, but also many people in the industry find it incredible.
How legendary the soundtrack of "Starry Night" is, can be seen from its performance since its release with the movie.
In four months, since this soundtrack was launched on the online music platform, the click rate has exceeded 10 billion. At the same time, this soundtrack has also been praised in countless folk and professional music lists. Many music The master even gave music appreciation classes specifically for this soundtrack.
In the eyes of most people, "Interstellar" has two must-win awards at this Oscar, one is the Best Visual Effects Award, and the other is the Best Film Score.
But now this most certain award has been lost. People who supported "Interstellar" were naturally extremely angry after being surprised.
"The Oscars are all about awarding awards through colored glasses. I think this time it's a solid one."
"Chinese people have always been discriminated against in Hollywood. I originally thought that Nie Wei had gained the recognition of Hollywood with his strength. Now it seems that this discrimination still exists. The Oscar's choice this time is the most ironclad evidence."
Even many foreign musicians have expressed doubts about this selection result.
Within five minutes of the announcement of the best film score result, Grozan, a well-known North American musician and Oscar winner for best score, expressed doubts about the result.
"The result of the best original music surprised me. I am not questioning Ereks and his music. I admit that they are all excellent, but I am afraid of comparison. Among the four works, "Starry Sky" by Nie Wei is the best. A work that really amazes me, so I think the Oscar selection is up for debate this time.”
I don’t know if it was Grozan who expressed his opinion, but many professionals also expressed their opinions. They all believed that Nie Wei’s "Starry Sky" should win this trophy without any controversy. If Oscar doesn’t give this trophy to Starry Sky, , this is a wrong choice, some radical musicians even shouted that Oscar does not understand the soundtrack at all...
In fact, not only were these people questioning it, but even Alex, who won the award, did not react immediately.
He originally came to the Oscars today with a soy sauce mentality. In fact, he had long ago determined that this trophy must belong to Nie Wei. After all, the song "Starry Sky" is really great.
He once listened to this song with his eyes closed. The moment the music played, he felt as if he was on the battlefield. He was about to step onto the battlefield to fight for the sake of his relatives behind him and for his motherland. This feeling of excitement had not been felt for many years. It had appeared before, and only such a magnificent piece of music could touch his heart.
So when the result was announced, he was confused. Even people around him stood up and congratulated him, but he didn't even react. He came to his senses after getting on the stage and receiving the trophy.
"Incredible, incredible, really incredible?"
"Judges, are you sure you didn't fill in the winner's name incorrectly?"
"If I make a mistake, I still have time to go down now."
Others thought he was being funny, but only Eregos knew clearly that he was really confused. He was self-aware and his work might be excellent, but it was still far from the level of "Starry Sky". He really didn't understand why Oscar awarded this trophy to him.
So what the audience saw was Ereks standing on the podium, smiling awkwardly, talking nonsense for a long time, and then hurriedly left the stage.
In the subsequent interview session, Ereks did not show any joy at winning the award, but was cautious and modest.
"I was pleasantly surprised. I never thought I would get this trophy before I came here. I still think it is a dream."
"The outside world is very vocal about Nie Wei's "Starry Sky". You defeated your opponent tonight. Is there anything you want to say?"
"'Starry Sky' is a great soundtrack. Before the announcement, I actually determined that this trophy would belong to Mr. Nie, although the result was a bit unexpected."
As soon as the interview video of Ereks was released, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.
Even the winners admit that they are not as good as Nie Wei. Are the Oscar judges really deaf and unable to hear the quality of music?
Out of politeness, most celebrities entering the venue will turn off their communication devices, so Nie Wei doesn't know that there has been a turmoil all over the world because he failed to win the award. Now he is more concerned about whether the Best Director trophy will win. will belong to oneself.
No director in mainland China has received such an honor so far.
Similarly, no director at Nie Wei's age can get hold of this trophy.
If Nie Wei wins the award, he will definitely set two records at once, especially the first one. As a living Oscar-winning best director from the mainland, he will completely break the shackles of age and truly become the number one domestic director.
And with this trophy, he will have a resounding golden brand all over the world in the future. The name Oscar is very useful, just like the NBA is the holy land of basketball in the minds of basketball fans around the world. Oscar is everything. The hall of honor that film and television people yearn for.
The winner of the Best Director Award was still an old acquaintance of Nie Wei, Spielberg, who presented the award to Nie Wei at the Saturn Awards last year.
This old man is almost 70 years old, but he still maintains strong creative energy. I heard that he will have a fantasy movie this summer, and a new movie is also being prepared. This creative energy is really amazing. Many directors in their 40s and 50s can't compare.
The handsome and bald Spielberg opened the envelope directly after talking a few words about his views on the best director.
So neat and decisive, Nie Wei's originally steady heartbeat couldn't help but become a little chaotic.
"Wow, young man, I may really hit it off with you. Congratulations, I'm going to present you with an award again, Mr. Nie Wei." Spielberg said with a smile.
Nie Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up and hugged the excited crew members around him one by one before walking to the podium.
"Well deserved." When Spielberg handed the trophy to Nie Wei, he praised with a smile. When he saw Nie Wei, he seemed to see himself when he was young, as energetic and as daring to try different things. Movies officially need people like this in order to progress.
"Thank you." Nie Wei politely thanked him and walked up to the podium.
"I am honored to receive this honor. The sentence I heard most in school is, if you are really capable, just go get an Oscar. I didn't expect that I actually won two Oscars today."
There was a chuckle in the audience. Although many previous nominees for "Interstellar" had failed, it is undeniable that Nie Wei is definitely the big winner tonight, the winner of the two awards of Best Screenplay and Best Director. , he can be said to be one of the most shining people at the Oscars tonight.
Not to mention how old he is.
The youngest Oscar winner for Best Director, this record alone is enough for Nie Wei to steal the show.
Unlike everyone who imagined that Nie Wei would give a lot of speeches, Nie Wei didn't say much. He just thanked those who were grateful and then walked off the stage.
However, Keanu and Zhang Ziyi sitting in the audience seemed much more excited than Nie Wei, and they kept applauding Nie Wei.
"Nie Wei, aren't you happy?" Seeing Nie Wei so calm, Zhang Ziyi became less calm. She thought Nie Wei was embarrassed to be happy because they didn't win the award.
"How can I be unhappy? I won an Oscar." Nie Wei smiled, but after the initial excitement in her heart passed, she didn't feel anything at all.
Although this is the first time he has won the Oscar for Best Director, it may have been too smooth. Winning the award for the first time was shortlisted, which made Nie Wei not feel that much, unlike when he won the Oscar for Best Actor before. Leonardo held back tears throughout his acceptance speech.
After hearing Nie Wei's explanation, Zhang Ziyi was speechless. Why is this guy so irritating?
"Nie Wei, I knew you could win the award. You're right, right? You have indeed won this trophy. How about we go to a bar to celebrate tonight? I'll treat you!" Keanu on the side still looked like he was doing it. He looked so excited, as if he had won an award.
Nie Wei shook his head. Firstly, he didn't like drinking, and secondly, Shu Chang was still there.
"Nie, you are so boring." Keanu was disappointed to see Nie Wei refuse.
"I booked a Michelin restaurant. I think enjoying good food is much better than getting drunk." Nie Wei replied with a smile.
Although he didn't know what the result would be tonight, Nie Wei still booked a restaurant early. After all, delicious food can make people happy. If you are in a bad mood, you can eat something delicious, and you will feel better. If you are in a good mood, you can eat something delicious, and you will feel better.
Anyway, it's a good deal.
The final Best Picture was won by "The Revenant". This year can be said to be a bumper year for Leo, and it was not in vain that he was so embarrassed in the movie.
"Interstellar" finally won three trophies, which was a barely passing score, but for Nie Wei, he reaped a lot.
An Oscar for Best Director completely pushed his reputation to the peak of mainland directors, and also affected his influence on the world film and television industry.
As soon as the award ceremony ended, Nie Wei just turned on his mobile phone and received countless congratulatory text messages.
People in the same company, such as Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang, must have congratulated Nie Wei, as well as artists who had worked with Nie Wei before, and even Ms. Rowling, who was far away in the UK, sent a congratulatory text message to Nie Wei.
She also watched the Oscars this year, but Rowling only paid attention to Nie Wei, who was about to work with her on a new movie.
When she saw Nie Wei win the Best Director award, Rowling really laughed out loud. She admired her own vision and felt that it was a very smart decision to find Nie Wei to work with her.
On the Internet, especially on Weibo, the news of Nie Wei's award was overwhelming, and it directly landed on the top of the hot search list.
As the first mainland director to win this trophy, and the youngest Oscar winner of the Best Director, Nie Wei's achievement really made countless people who like him feel proud.
Before Nie Wei went to the Oscars, many people felt that Nie Wei represented not himself, nor "Interstellar", but Chinese films. Now that Nie Wei won the award, many people felt that this was the recognition of Chinese films by world films.
Of course, there were also cynics, but in the face of the general trend, no one dared to speak out, and even dared not talk behind their backs, for fear that someone would hear it and spread it to Huayi, cutting off their own path to advancement.
Invitations from major domestic programs have also flooded Huayi's customer service phone, but all of this will have to wait until Nie Wei returns.
At this moment, Nie Wei is surrounded by a group of reporters. Obviously, everyone wants to hear what the youngest Oscar-winning director thinks about winning the award.
I'm a little better now. I didn't expect this cold to be so serious. Thank you Qiang Love Rong for your generous reward of 1,000, and thank you 0773 for your generous reward.
