Chapter 551 "A Moment in the Universe" won awards in succession, and Liu Yifei won the Osc
"Director Zhou, this is your first collaboration with Mr. Cheng Long, right? What do you think of Mr. Cheng Long?"
Because Cheng Long's rank is quite high, the reporter also asked Zhou Qing some questions related to Cheng Long.
"Brother Cheng Long is a very good and dedicated actor. There are a lot of fighting scenes in our film "A Moment in the Universe". Considering the physical condition of Brother Cheng Long, I was actually planning to use a stunt double, but Brother Cheng Long insisted on doing it himself..."
What was there to say about this kind of question? Zhou Qing praised Cheng Long highly in front of all the reporters.
When Cheng Long, who was standing next to him, heard this, the smile on his face never faded.
In fact, Cheng Long has heard so much flattery and praise throughout his career that he has long been numb to it.
But can director Zhou Qing’s praise be the same?
It's definitely different.
Even Jackie Chan couldn't help feeling a little elated.
"Then Director Zhou, do you think Jackie Chan can win the Oscar for Best Actor? We noticed that he was nominated for Best Actor."
The reporter asked this key question again.
"Brother Cheng Long's performance in the movie is very outstanding. Personally, I think he deserves the Best Actor award."
This statement is actually a bit against my will.
Cheng Long’s performance in “A Brief Encounter” is good, but it is just good.
In addition, "Blink" is a drama with a female lead rather than a male lead, so Cheng Long has less room to perform than Gong Li.
So even though the other party was nominated, according to Zhou Qing's judgment, he was basically just a runner-up.
It's almost impossible to win a prize.
But you definitely wouldn’t say that in front of Cheng Long, right?
Otherwise, where would Cheng Long save his face?
"So what about you, Mr. Cheng Long? Do you think you can win the Best Actor award?"
The reporter also asked Cheng Long the same question.
"In fact, for me, the Best Actor Award is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to work with Director Zhou, Gong Li, Liu Yifei and others to let the world know about Chinese films and let the world see that Chinese films can also be very exciting."
"I think our goal has been achieved, and it's a very happy thing that 'Telekinesis' has been able to attract the attention of filmmakers around the world on the Oscar stage."
"It would be great if I could get the Best Actor award, but it's just icing on the cake, not my ultimate goal."
"Whether I can get it or not, I am very happy because we have done a great job in promoting Chinese films."
Regardless of whether he thought so or not, Cheng Long's answer was very well-thought-out.
I believe that after the relevant interview is passed back to the domestic entertainment industry, it will greatly increase its presence.
"Ms. Gong Li..."
"Ms. Liu Yifei..."
Because the main actors are Hollywood stars, they were also interviewed by the media and were asked a lot of questions by reporters.
It can be said that it contributed a lot of popularity to "The Blink of an Eye".
"Director Zhou."
"Cheng Long!"
"Gong Li!"
"Liu Yifei!"
The same thing happened on the red carpet afterwards.
From the director to the main actors, every appearance can cause corresponding reactions and responses in the audience.
There were corresponding fans shouting the names of several people loudly, and the camera flashes were flashing non-stop.
What is an international star?
This is what we call an international star.
Including the various links that followed, Zhou Qing and other main creators were always surrounded by people from all walks of life, and there was no peace at all.
It was not until the award ceremony officially began that I felt some relief and relaxation.
Well, this is for Zhou Qing.
As for the other people, although they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, they were still more or less nervous.
This is an Oscar!
Although nowadays, the Oscar award is no longer as respected and mythical as it used to be.
But for many filmmakers, it is also a great honor.
If you really get it, you can only pretend to be very proud. You know, throughout the history of Chinese entertainment, Chinese filmmakers have won many awards in the three major European cinemas.
Even at Cannes, there are many people who have won other awards besides the Palme d'Or.
For example, Zhang Guoshi has won the second highest award, the Grand Jury Prize, Hou Xiaoxian has also won the Grand Jury Prize and the Best Director Award, and Wang Mojing has also won the Best Director Award.
This is just the grand prize, and there are even more people who have won other smaller prizes.
Only Oscar's side.
Apart from Zhou Qing, no one else in the entire Chinese entertainment industry has ever won any awards.
Of course, Li An is an exception. Although this guy is of Chinese nationality, he is not actually in the Chinese entertainment industry.
There is only one Chinese filmmaker who has won an Oscar, Zhou Qing.
In this context, even in this day and age, Oscars are a rarity.
Whether it's Cheng Long, Gong Li or Liu Yifei, they definitely want to get it.
Only Zhou Qing, who has won the Best Director Award twice, was much calmer.
"The next award to be presented is the Science and Engineering Award!"
The entire award ceremony kicked off with the presentation of an insignificant small prize.
This made Cheng Long, Gong Li and the others even more nervous.
Everyone knows that Zhou Qing has a strong record, and everyone has high hopes that "A Blink of an Eye" will win an award.
But in the final analysis, can "A Brief History of the Universe" win any awards, and what awards can it win?
Everyone wants to know the answer.
"The winner of the Best Original Screenplay Award is... Zhou Qing, 'The Instant Universe'!"
It was not until more than half an hour later that the presenter read out the name of "The Universe in a Moment" for the first time.
This immediately lifted the spirits of several people.
"The Blink of an Eye" won a small prize, which is a good start and a good omen.
Screenwriter Zhou Qing went on stage to receive the award in a nonchalant manner, and behaved calmly from beginning to end.
It seems that this award is just a trivial little prize.
Well, for Zhou Qing, it is really just a small and insignificant prize, and it is not an exaggeration.
As a reborn person and a hacker, Zhou Qing is definitely not satisfied with this.
Fortunately, "The Universe in a Flash" did not disappoint Zhou Qing.
"The winner of the Best Editing Award is... Zhou Qing, "A Moment in the Universe"!"
Not long after returning to his seat, Zhou Qing went on stage again to present awards.
Who said that the editing of "A Moment in the Universe" was also done by Zhou Qing himself?
Cheng Long, Liu Yifei and others became more and more excited.
Having won two small awards in succession, "A Moment in the Universe" is really on the rise.
"Next up is the Best Supporting Actress award."
Liu Yifei immediately started to get upset because she was nominated for this award.
Compared to Cheng Long and Gong Li, who have already won many other awards, Liu Yifei, who has won fewer awards, is undoubtedly more eager for this award.
I just don't know if I can get what I want.
"Xixi, relax, there is hope for you."
Zhou Qing comforted the girl.
In fact, it’s not just consolation. To be honest, Liu Yifei’s performance in the movie is indeed good.
In addition, when Zhou Qing was filming the movie, he intended to help Liu Yifei win an award.
Therefore, we were extra attentive to Liu Yifei, and at one point the girl almost doubted her life.
From a director's perspective, Zhou Qing felt that Liu Yifei did have a chance.
"The winner of the Best Supporting Actress Award is... Liu Yifei, "A Moment in the Universe"!" (End of this chapter)
