Chapter 1059: Thanks to the little crab (asking for monthly ticket)
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

From weddings and funerals to examinations, meetings and award ceremonies, how to arrange seating is always a big issue.

The Oscars are no exception.

The Dolby Theatre has only 3400 seats, but the entire Migo Academy of Film and Television has more than 6000 members. How to decide who to give seats to and who not to give seats to, how to arrange the seats for this group of people, who sits next to whom, and who doesn’t want to meet whom, are all very mysterious things.

If you arrange a couple who are resentful of each other, or a mistress and a wife, to sit together, there will be topics to talk about, but the possibility of a fight breaking out cannot be ruled out.

If violence breaks out, the Oscars ceremony will be ruined.

The seating arrangement principle of the Oscars is that the front few rows are mainly occupied by nominees for acting awards, while those sitting in the back of the main hall are technical nominees, crew members and their families.

Celebrities and observers will be assigned to the balcony.

Hao Yun starred in “Inception”, which was nominated for eight awards, and composed the most outstanding soundtrack for the film.

He also wrote, directed, starred in, composed music for, and edited “By the Sea”, which was also nominated for eight awards. Even the person in charge of the award ceremony operations who dislikes Chinese people the most could not risk the world’s disapproval and throw Hao Yun to the most remote corner.

He must be arranged to sit at the same table with the adults!
Therefore, they had no choice but to have him sit together with the nominees for Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Director.

At most, it’s slightly marginalized.

There is no way around it. Hao Yun’s behavior can be described as stealing the house. It is impossible for others to arrange a position for you where you are the center of attention.

The advantage of marginalization is that Hao Yun can sit with An Xiaoxi and Pei Chunhua.

An Xiaoxi benefited from Hao Yun, which can be considered a kind of compensation.

Rosamund Pike was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, a distinction she earned based on her own strength.

The staff will inform you to take your seat.

Hao Yun let go of Gu Changwei’s hand and took An Xiaoxi to sit down.

Gu Changwei is also a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and one of the more than 6,000 Oscar judges.

He came here today to support Hao Yun.

There are many people like this, and they all agree that Chinese people in Hollywood must unite and help Hao Yun win the award.

Although only a small number of people responded, the number of votes was still very impressive.

Gu Changwei was the organizer of this vote-grabbing campaign for Hao Yun.

Hao Yun was extremely grateful to Lao Gu, as it was worth it for him to cover up for his flirting with the actress in front of Jiang Minli.

After the award ceremony officially began, a promotional video was played first.

Probably borrowing the dream setting from “Inception”, the two hosts, Anne Hathaway and James Franco, went down from the elevator and entered the world of multiple movies.

James Franco was also nominated for Best Actor.

The film “127 Hours” starring him is based on the real experience of Aaron Ralston.

It tells the story of Aaron Ralston who unfortunately fell into a canyon during a hike in Utah, with one of his arms pinned by rocks and unable to move. However, he relied on his amazing willpower to survive with the broken arm and finally escaped successfully.

His acting is very good, but it lacks depth, so his fate is to be a runner-up.

He is the person least likely to win the Best Actor award.

However, even if you are nominated for the Best Actor at the Academy Awards, it is enough to brag about for several years.

James Franco’s most well-known screen role is probably Harry Osborn, also known as Marvel’s Green Goblin.

Chinese audiences like to call him “Fu Lanlan”. He chatted with Hao Yun for a few words before the award ceremony, but Hao Yun didn’t have the heart to tell him this cute nickname.

Not to mention Anne Hathaway.

She is undoubtedly a beautiful woman and her work is solid.

Chinese otakus all like him very much.

There is an online writer named Squid who wrote a book called “The Arcane Throne”, in which there is a great arcanist named Hathaway. Although the prototypes may be Dalton and Madame Curie, readers like to use sexy pictures of Anne Hathaway to deepen their impression.

However, as far as Hao Yun knows, many Americans do not like Anne Hathaway, and some even hate her.

At the peak, there were more than 2 posts on Twitter cursing her every minute.

Because she is pretty, she is called a vase with no acting skills. When she is funny and entertaining, she is called a clown. When she was kind enough to change her clothes to avoid wearing the same clothes as the actors in the same crew, she was called for trying to stand out. When she was moved by the speech when accepting the award, it was interpreted as being pretentious…

In short, it seems that she will be criticized for everything she does. Even the New York Times, which is a semi-official media, has tried to publish an article naming her the most annoying person of the year.

The reason is probably because her character is too fake.

Give me an example.

She has always been quiet and gentle, saying that she is an independent woman and doesn’t care much about money.

However, a boyfriend she had dated was revealed to be a financial fraudster with a huge amount of money. He won over her by buying her extremely expensive gifts, so Annie had to return some of the things she bought with the stolen money to the police afterwards.

As the film with the third highest number of nominations, tied with “Inception”, “On the Waterfront” was also edited into this promotional video.

However, the two hosts complained about the movie during their interaction.

They complained that the movie was too depressing.

Anne Hathaway said she cried while watching the movie.

James Franco said that when he was watching the movie, he couldn’t help crying because of the crying around him.

He didn’t intend to cry, but when everyone else was crying, he would seem very out of place if he didn’t cry.

Hao Yun just smiled silently in front of the camera. He looked very depressed most of the time and did not try hard to please Oscar’s camera.

There’s no need to be too flattering.

The movie “By the Sea” brought by Hao Yun today is a relatively popular movie, but he is still a Chinese after all and represents the face of the Chinese people.

Only when you respect and love yourself will others respect you.

The Academy Awards ceremony has officially begun and domestic audiences are also paying attention.

CCTV-6’s “World Film Journey” sent a team of reporters to the event, reporting from the red carpet to the situation inside the venue, and also broadcasting it live on CCTV-6.

Heimi Weibo opened an online live broadcast room to provide hot topic support for this year’s Oscars.

Domestic audiences can also understand the situation of the Oscars.

Just seeing Hao Yun sitting with a group of big names is enough to make many people feel that he is extremely awesome.

There is no way. Under the current circumstances, the moon in foreign countries is still farther away.

After the pre-promotional video ended, the two hosts interacted again and mentioned Hao Yun.

First, Anne Hathaway said she was not nominated.

By the way, I also complained about the Oscars. If you don’t take off your clothes, you won’t be nominated. The freedom given to the hosts here is really a bit outrageous.

Then I asked Fu Lanlan, “Since you’re nominated for Best Actor, do you feel nervous?”

Fu Lanlan said that Colin Firth (The King’s Speech) moved all of Google, Jeff Bridges (True Grit) was so handsome that all of Google, Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) inspired all of Google, and Felix made all of Google depressed. They are all better than herself. It is amazing to be nominated with them. It doesn’t matter whether she wins the award or not.

When talking about Felix making everyone depressed, there was laughter at the scene.

The first person to go on stage to present the award was Tom Hanks, a legendary actor with a brilliant resume.

He presented the Best Art Direction Award to Alice in Wonderland.

The winner’s somewhat incoherent acceptance speech also made the relaxed atmosphere created by the host gradually become solemn.

This is harvest season in Hollywood after all.

Tom Hanks also presented the Best Cinematography Award, for which By the Sea was nominated.

Other works competing with Cao Dun include “Black Swan”, “Inception”, “The King’s Speech” and “The Social Network”.

The winner was Wally Pfister, who directed “Inception”.

The probability of Cao Dun winning the award is very slim, and many members of the academy may not know him.

Moreover, this is Wally Pfister’s fourth nomination.

On the Oscar side, multiple nominations are also a plus, which probably makes people want to make up for it.

This is the first time that Hao Yun has received these nominations, so it is no wonder that many people are not optimistic about him winning the big prize.

Even in China, people think that it is amazing that Hao Yun received so many nominations for his first Oscar participation, and it would be great even if he did not win any award.

It’s not easy to win an Oscar.

After Tom Hanks, the award was presented by Kirk Douglas, who was ranked the 17th greatest actor of the century by the Migo Film Society.

It is a skill that a 95-year-old man can still speak eloquently on the stage.

If it were someone else, it would be good enough if they didn’t wet their pants at this age.

The third award is the Best Supporting Actress Award. It is a coincidence that “By the Sea” was nominated for two of the first three awards.

The nominees for Best Supporting Actress are Amy Adams for The Fighter, Helena Bonham Carter for The King’s Speech, Melissa Leo for The Fighter, Hailee Steinfeld for True Grit, and Rosamund Pike for By the Sea.

No surprise at all.

Rosamund Pike won this year’s Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

The Oscar moment played was the scene between her and Hao Yun.

She persuaded Hao Yun to come out, but Hao Yun said he could do nothing.

Frankly speaking, this scene is very classic, the kind that can go down in film history and be used as a teaching material for acting students.

However, Hao Yun’s performance is the key to making this segment a classic.

All we can say is that Rosamund Pike took over Hao Yun’s role and did not fall behind.

Even so, Rosamund Pike was undoubtedly the winner.

“Thanks to the crew of “By the Sea”, my family, my love…”

I expressed my thanks briefly first, and then started to get to the point.

“Thanks to Felix, his directing and acting abilities are admirable. I am very happy to be able to act in this movie and to have the opportunity to work with him… He is really a…”

There is nothing false, it is all sincere and heartfelt gratitude.

“By the Sea” received eight nominations, one win and one loss, with six more nominations to come.

Boss Jia and Mila Kunis took the stage to present the awards.

The former starred in “The Social Network” and the latter starred in “Black Swan”. They presented the Best Animated Film and Best Animated Short Film awards, which had nothing to do with Hao Yun.

However, Hao Yun was nominated for the Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay awards, which were already presented to Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin.

The plot of “By the Sea” is not complicated, but the script structure is exquisite, making it a strong contender for this award.

In the domestic live broadcast room of the Oscar awards ceremony, the guests analyzed that if Hao Yun could win this award, it would mean that he was truly accepted by the Oscars and he would have hope of winning subsequent major awards.

However, other guests expressed different opinions.

It is believed that this award is likely to be Hao Yun’s “peak” and will be used by the Oscars as a consolation prize for Hao Yun’s trip to the Oscars.

After all, the Best Original Screenplay award is often given to young or amateur screenwriters with rich imagination.

In 1997, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon wrote and starred in the film “Good Will Hunting”, which won the Best Original Screenplay Award at the 70th Academy Awards.

As the presenter opened the envelope, the Best Adapted Screenplay was awarded to “The Social Network”. This was the first time that “The Social Network”, the film with the most nominations tonight, won the award.

And then there’s Best Original Screenplay…

Hao Yun heard his name.

He has won many script awards, mainly because the system is so powerful. As long as you get the certificate, it can always come up with a script for you.

Hao Yun also guessed that the system got the script from the future.

He was also worried that once he had taken all the scripts, what would happen to those screenwriters who had risen to prominence with these scripts.

But later I felt relieved.

None of his business!

After hearing his own voice, Hao Yun stood up, hugged An Xiaoxi beside him, and shook hands with Pei Chunhua through An Xiaoxi.

As for Colin Firth (starring in “The King’s Speech”) next door, Hao Yun just shook hands and that was it.

This kind of differential treatment is very unlucky.

It has even become Hao Yun’s characteristic that he will not hug anyone as long as his wife is present.

“The inspiration for this script came from some press releases and some of my experiences in real life, but the creative process was not smooth and it even caused me to have an emotional breakdown…”

The Oscars are all about storytelling and selling characters.

For example, when talking about how much hardship one has endured for a performance, Yimei once said that this is normal PR for winning awards.

But what Hao Yun said about how much hardship he suffered in creating “By the Sea” is pure nonsense.

Because the script is given by the system.

But Oscar just falls for it.

Everyone feels much more balanced now. I didn’t expect that the script you wrote not only made us depressed, but also made you depressed.

You deserve it.

“I would like to thank everyone in the crew of By the Sea, Paramount and FC Films. It is everyone’s hard work that made the script available to everyone in the form of a movie. I would like to thank my wife, my daughter, and my parents and family… Thank you everyone!”

Hao Yun originally planned to thank his father for the first award, his mother for the second, An Xiaoxi for the third, and Little Crab for the fourth…

But he didn’t know how many of the eight nominations he would win.

I feel that there is a high probability that he will not be given the opportunity to list all his aunts and uncles after thanking his family.

The following awards have nothing to do with Hao Yun.

All the way to Best Editing and Best Visual Effects, but both nominations were lost.

It really can’t be compared to Inception.

Hao Yunyun also accepted his defeat with a sincere heart.

The remaining awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress, are the most important awards.

The Best Director Award was presented first.

Kathryn Bigelow and Hilary Swank took the stage to present the awards.

The former won the Best Picture and Best Director awards at the 82nd Academy Awards for the feature film “The Hurt Locker”, becoming the first female Oscar winner in history.

The latter won the Oscar twice.

“This year’s films are wonderful and unforgettable… The directors are all so talented, and we gather here tonight to appreciate these works and pay tribute to them…” Kathryn Bigelow opened the show.

In fact, what she said was a bit empty.

This year’s movies… there’s really nothing that stands out.

Commercial blockbusters are emerging in endlessly, constantly squeezing the living space of art films, causing many art film directors to go shoot superhero or other big IP sequel movies.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be the turn of “The King’s Speech”, “The Social Network”, “The Fighter” and “True Grit”, which are not bad movies but have little to do with classics, to receive various nominations.

It will not be the turn of a film directed by a Chinese to receive eight nominations.

But one must choose nice things to say, and Kathryn Bigelow had no choice. Another Hilary Swank asked everyone to watch the nominated films for Best Director this time.

“Black Swan”, “The Fighter”, “On the Waterfront”, “The Social Network”, “True Grit”…

“The winner of the Best Director award is…” Kathryn Bigelow did not keep the suspense and read it out directly: “Felix, Hao Yun, Manchester by the Sea.”

In order to make her expression clear, she also called out Hao Yun’s Chinese name.

Although the applause was enthusiastic, the whispers could not be covered up.

This is the second time that the Best Director award was won by a Chinese director.

The last time was Li An’s “Brokeback Mountain”.

Hao Yun tried hard not to frown.

He also felt that he was surprised to win this award. Although Tom Hooper (director of “The King’s Speech”), who was most likely to win the award, did not even get a nomination because of Harvey Weinstein’s involvement, “Black Swan” and “True Grit” were both strong contenders.

No one would object to David Fincher’s The Social Network.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was really courageous to give him the Best Director award.

However, with this result, Hao Yun’s original chance of winning the Best Actor award was only 50%, but now it is estimated that the chance is less than 20%.

Those in China who are paying attention to the Oscars don’t know whether to be happy or feel sorry for Hao Yun.

In fact, the Best Director is no worse than the Best Actor.

What’s more, you are a Chinese who won the award, so there is really no need to be picky.

However, Hao Yun has repeatedly expressed that he “wants to be recognized for his acting skills” and is determined to win the Best Actor award. If he fails, then we can only shed tears of sympathy for him.

My haters laughed three times and said you only deserve an Oscar for Best Director.

Still want to win the Best Actor award?
Bah, you deserve it!
