Chapter 295: Done

After chatting with Downey, the awards ceremony began quickly.

Lu Pingping sat down, with Hu Qingquan and Tian Zhuangzhuang on both sides.

Tian Zhuangzhuang got a lot of glory this time.

Although he did help some during the filming of the movie, such as teaching Lu Ping'an how to adjust the lens.

But overall, he did get a free ride.

Muddle-headedly became Lu Ping'an's mentor. Muddle-headedly watched Lu Ping'an make a movie, and then Muddleheaded was about to win an Oscar.

Even when he was sitting there, he still felt a bit magical.

It was not until this moment that he truly experienced Hu Qingquan's happiness.

Having such a student is really exciting.

Of course he still wanted to face it.

Originally, he didn't want to come because he felt that he would not be rewarded for his efforts.

But is Lu Ping'an a person who doesn't know how to behave?

It is true that Tian Zhuangzhuang did not help much in terms of movies, but in the domestic public opinion field where the older generation dominates, Tian Zhuangzhuang is very protective of his shortcomings.

This is invisible support. Without him, this gay movie might not just be criticized in China as "American movies have nothing to be proud of when competing for awards." Instead, it would become a "homosexual movie, it's degenerate!" ".

So now that the movie can be released in China and receive unanimous praise from the mainstream, Tian Zhuangzhuang has indeed played some role.

This is not what Lu Ping'an said, but both Hu Qingquan and Principal Zhang said so.

For this reason, they also reminded Lu Pingan not to forget to invite Tian Zhuangzhuang to the scene.

It's just that Lu Ping'an would have made a mistake in this kind of thing that reflects his character. He had informed him a long time ago.

Just as he was thinking about it, Tian Zhuangzhuang patted Lu Ping'an's sleeve, cleared away the stray hairs on it, and then said, "Are you nervous?"

"Don't be nervous. I've already prepared myself mentally. It's probably no problem to win 50% to 60% for Best Director. I basically don't have to think about Best Picture."

"Brokeback Mountain" has little chance of winning against "Crash", which depicts racial themes in the United States, even if the quality of the movie is much better than it.

"Haha, you still have to think about what you should think about. Lao Hu has memorized his thank-you speech by heart."

After listening to it, Lao Hu said to Tian Zhuangzhuang: "If we really want to take it, you can go up too."

"How many times have you told me this, Lao Hu? Don't try to persuade me. If you really want to take it, it's time for you to show your face. It's shameful for me to go up to you."

Tian Zhuangzhuang said firmly.

He just said, "But I can do it next time."

After saying that, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After a while, Jon Stewart, the host of this year's Oscars, came on stage, and the awards ceremony officially began.

It was the morning of March 7th in Beijing at this time.

The Huantai crew is temporarily suspended. Lu Ping'an is not here and Matt Damon is not here, but the crew will still continue to shoot some less important scenes.

At this time, everyone stopped working for half a day, and everyone watched the live broadcast in front of the TV.

This live broadcast was won by the Sixth Princess, which is enough to show how much attention the country attaches to Lu Ping An's Olympics.

Liu Qianqian looked at Lu Ping'an as the camera on the TV swept over her.

Because he is the favorite of this year, the camera stays on him for three seconds at the beginning, and the same goes for the other favorites.

Lu Ping'an smiled brightly when he saw the camera.

Then a group of people from the Huantai crew cheered.

The girls exclaimed that he is so handsome and has a nice bow tie. My boss is the most handsome in domestic entertainment.

The same goes for Liu Qianqian.

But when she heard the female employees around her chirping, she was thinking, besides herself, how many women would be staring at Brother Ping An at this time?

Apart from anything else, among those Yingying Yanyan who came to guest appearance a few days ago, there must be some people who have thoughts about Brother Ping'an.

She was right.

There were indeed many people watching Lu Ping'an's entrance in the hotel, at home, or even in a place not far from the Kodak Theater in the United States.

Of course, there are also those in rental houses, such as Liu Shishi.

Liu Shishi started cleaning the newly rented rental house early in the morning.

After cleaning up, she sat on the sofa and sat up vigorously.

She just bought the sofa, mainly because the original sofa was a bit worn. She thought that Director Lu would be disgusted when he saw it, so she spent money to buy a set herself.

It's a bit expensive, but it's very comfortable to sit on. I believe the road guide won't dislike it by then.

Satisfied, Master Liu counted the time. The awards will be given out in a while, right?

She turned on the TV and changed several channels. Sure enough, there was a live broadcast on CCTV 6, but the TV said that the red carpet would not start until half an hour later.

Master Liu then turned on his computer and browsed the relevant news.

At this time, there is a lot of news about "Brokeback Mountain" on the Internet.

"The movie "Brokeback Mountain" directed by Lu Pingan became a hit in North America. Not only did the dialogue of the protagonist in the movie become a common buzzword in North America, but even online auctions followed the craze. Just mention the three "Brokeback Mountain" Products with characters are now being sold, and some netizens even created their own nude paintings of the male protagonists based on movie posters, asking for $820.”

"The classic dialogue 'I wish I could quit smoking' in "Brokeback Mountain" has become a national buzzword as the movie became popular. Even the cigarette brand "Marlboro", the favorite of American cowboys, has He came to serve as the advertising slogan. In addition, online auctions also caught up with the "Brokeback Mountain" craze."

Next are a few pictures.

"It can only be said that netizens are indeed very creative. The "Brokeback Mountain" statue of "two horses and two people" also costs US$1,000."

"Some netizens are selling denim clothing under the name of the favorite denim jacket of the protagonist of "Brokeback Mountain". They have everything from cowboy hats to cowboy boots. Even a shirt with "mountain" on it is very popular."

"Doll sellers have also joined the trend, claiming that they launched a commemorative version of Western dolls to celebrate "Brokeback Mountain" becoming the biggest winner of the Golden Globe Awards and the biggest favorite of the Oscars. In addition, the rainbow flag representing the gay logo has also been auctioned. It seems that as long as it is related to "Brokeback Mountain", everything is really sold on the Internet, and nothing is strange."

Liu Shishi sighed in her heart, it's a pity that she hasn't seen "Brokeback Mountain" yet. It is said to be super beautiful and super touching.

In fact, it's not that there is no chance to see it.

There were still pirated discs a few days ago, but later it was said that the movie would be released in domestic theaters, and then there was a wave of crackdowns.

If you really want to buy it now, you can buy it, and it is the uncut version, which is said to be very exciting.

Liu Shishi certainly wanted to appreciate it, but Director Lu said that he would bring her an authentic disc with a signature at that time, so that she could give it to others.

So Liu Shishi decided to wait for Director Lu to come back and watch it together if there was a chance.

Thinking of this, she checked the DVD player again.

Fortunately, the new machine was fine.

It was so expensive.

After checking, she returned to the TV channel.

The time was just right, and the entrance segment was being broadcast.

The host Jiang Xiaohan and the guest Jiang Wen were introducing the guests on the red carpet.

Liu Shishi couldn't help but sigh again, wishing she could go up and walk around sometime.

Speaking of which, this Oscar really attracted a lot of attention.

Lu Ping'an's movie received 8 nominations!

This is an unprecedented achievement for Chinese directors.

It was said on TV that if he really won the Best Director award, it would be a major breakthrough in Chinese film history!

Liu Shishi couldn't help but punch in her heart: Come on Ping'an!

Soon, Lu Ping'an and the crew of "Brokeback Mountain" began to walk the red carpet.

Seeing Lu Ping'an in a black suit and red bow tie, the frequency of the flash lights on the scene increased a lot.

Looking at that handsome face, Liu Shishi couldn't help but feel moved.

At this time, Jiang Wen introduced: "Ping An's red bow tie is very interesting. He used the traditional auspicious cloud pattern of our country."

The torch had not yet come out, and the auspicious cloud pattern was not yet known, so everyone just thought that Lu Ping An was devoted to the motherland.

Then he entered the venue, and the host began to talk about other things. There was still more than half an hour before the official award ceremony.

Liu Shishi just watched it, not feeling bored at all.

Then more than half an hour later, the award ceremony finally began.

Liu Shishi then remembered to edit a text message of congratulations or comfort.

She took out a notebook and made a draft first.

How to say congratulations, how to say comfort.

Thinking and thinking, writing and crossing, crossing and writing, she was almost choking out of choice.

As a result, at this time, her mother called.

She was a little panicked. She wanted to answer the call, but she was afraid that the TV was too loud. For a moment, the remote control that was clearly still at hand disappeared again.

And the phone kept ringing. If she didn't answer it, she would definitely be scolded.

What to do?

She simply ran out of the house and answered it.

"Hello, Mom~"

Bang!

The door of the rental house was locked by the wind.

Liu Shishi was petrified on the spot because she didn't bring the key!

Then it was not until an hour and a half later that the locksmith arrived.

Fortunately, when Liu Shishi entered the room, the Best Director award had not been announced on TV.

After sending the locksmith away, Liu Shishi decided to send a long-distance blessing text message to Lu Ping'an:

"I'm afraid that there will be too many blessing text messages and you won't be able to see them, so now congratulations to you, congratulations to Lu Ping'an for winning glory for the country and achieving good results! I hope you can get more little golden men in the future and fill up a room!"

After sending, Liu Shishi remembered that she seemed to have prepared a better draft.

But before she could send it again, Lu Ping'an's reply came:

"Wait for me!"

Shua~

Liu Shishi's face suddenly became hot, so hot that she couldn't catch up.

With a strong sense of shyness, Liu Shishi replied: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

On the other side, the Oscar scene.

Lu Pingan smiled slightly. A good start, a good omen!

Before he could think about it, the Best Director Award was presented on the stage.

Tom Hanks, the award presenter, came on stage. Accompanied by the background music of "Forrest Gump", the audience burst into applause.

Tom Hanks didn't say much. He was very formal and serious.

He spoke the most standard award speech.

"The five directors nominated for the Best Director of this year's Oscars are..."

The big screen began to play short clips of five movies.

When the last one was over, Tom Hanks announced without hesitation:

"The winner of this year's Best Director Oscar is..."

Opened the envelope.

Then he smiled at this time, and then said the winner in relatively pure Chinese: "Lu Pingan!"

Suddenly, Hu Qingquan beside Lu Pingan shook his shoulders violently.

"Ping An, we really won!"

The audience burst into applause.

Lu Pingan stood up and went on stage.

"First of all, I want to thank two people, these two people are the protagonists of the film, they do not really exist."

"But I should say that they exist through the rich imagination of our filmmakers, these filmmakers include screenwriters Larry McMurty and Diana Ossana, and these two characters are Ennis and Jack."

"Brokeback Mountain" is not just a story between gay men or women, it expresses love in a broad sense."

"Thank you!"

"I would also like to thank the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for giving me this honor, thank everyone in the production team, especially my teacher Hu Qingquan, and my mentor Tian Zhuangzhuang, thank you for your love and support."

"I would also like to thank Wu Guohua, Qiu Bai, Bill Prad, Tory Metzger, and other behind-the-scenes workers."

"Finally, thank my family and all the fans who support me from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the world."

"I am an ordinary person who works hard, but whether I am ordinary or not does not depend on the road ahead, but on you who are walking on the same road."

"Thank you!"

This time, Lu Ping'an felt the feeling of stepping on cotton again.

To be honest, before the real result came out, he still didn't believe that he could win the award. After all, he didn't have a green card and didn't join any organization.

So even if the public relations fee was 10 million, he really felt a little bit unbelievable about this result.

But he quickly adjusted back.

Just after sitting back in his seat, he handed the little golden man to Hu Qingquan as soon as possible.

Because he knows that some things can't be solved by the protagonist's halo.

For example, in the best film, even if "Brokeback Mountain" is of higher quality, it can't beat "Crash" which describes racial themes.

In the American society, when it comes to this topic, "Brokeback Mountain" is almost certain to be unpopular.

So now give Hu Qingquan the little golden man to comfort his heart.

And then, the situation is just as expected, the best film is the racial film "Crash".

Fortunately, everyone didn't feel much disappointment, because it was all expected.

After Hu Qingquan applauded, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, enough!"

Lu Pingan smiled and said, "Next time, I will try to get you the best foreign language film."

Hu Qingquan laughed happily and scolded, "Today is a happy day, bragging will not let you pay taxes." Lu Pingan also smiled and replied, "I am a law-abiding citizen in Chaoyang District, Beijing, how can I evade taxes."

The appearance of the master and apprentice made Tian Zhuangzhuang on the side envious again.
