Chapter Nine Hundred and Eighty Fifth Irony

Not only Beekwen, but even the fans in the audience were dumbfounded.

"Dude, have you seen what movie "The River" is?"

"I don't know. I've never even heard it, let alone watched it."

"I do know a little bit. This is a Japanese film that has been shown in major theaters in North America, but the box office is mediocre. It seems to have won 80 million US dollars."

"That's right. My girlfriend and I went to the cinema to see it, and within ten minutes we fell asleep inside."

"Damn, such a film can win the best foreign language film, it's an international joke."

Fans began to whisper.

After being stunned for a moment, Bikwen on the stage quickly reacted and said, "The Big River is indeed a good film. What about The Infernal Affairs, what does Mr. Weaver think of this film?"

Weaver said: "It's okay. It's just that compared to "The River", I think it's a bit inferior in depth."

Weaver's comments aroused exclamations at the scene. The cameraman immediately aimed the camera at Xiao Yunhai, and the big screen showed an expressionless face.

Bi Kewen frowned slightly, and there was a trace of displeasure in his heart, not because of his close relationship with Xiao Yunhai, but because he felt that Infernal Affairs was indeed very good. Weaver's treatment of the film made Beekwen a little hard to accept.

"I think "Infernal Affairs" is good. Whether it is artistry, plot or actors' performances, they are all outstanding. In the subject matter of police and gangster films, Hollywood can find not many movies that can match it."

Beekwen's words were undoubtedly an open objection to Weaver's comments, which surprised Weaver and was a little annoyed.

But it won applause and applause from Xiao Yunhai's fans in the audience.

On the big screen, Xiao Yunhai showed no humility at all, he also clapped his hands and showed a faint smile on his face.

Weaver adjusted his mentality and said, "There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Let's see who the winner is, shall we?"

Bikwen nodded and said, "Alright."

Weaver tore open the envelope, glanced inside, turned to Bikoven and smiled: "It seems that the judges of the Oscar jury feel similar to me. They gave the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film to "The River", Congratulations to Director Takahashigawa."

"Damn it, isn't it, is this an upset?"

"Xiao's "Infernal Affairs" is so wonderful, it's unbelievable that it should lose to a Japanese movie that has never been seen before."

"Did the Oscar Organizing Committee collect money? The box office was 80 million versus billions, and the final award was awarded to 80 million."

"I dare to say that this year's Oscars are definitely shady, and there is no way that "Infernal Affairs" will lose to "Big River"."

"Has the Oscars, which are both commercial and artistic, have been reduced to this point? It's such a shame."

"Xiao is so pitiful."

The fans' noisy questioning did not affect Takahashigawa's good mood. He shook hands with the congratulatory artist next to him, and walked towards the podium in high spirits.

The camera accurately found the other five candidates. Although the other four were unspeakably disappointed, they all clapped their hands gracefully. Only Xiao Yunhai had a solemn expression and no smile on his face.

Takahashigawa seemed very excited to receive the Best Foreign Language Film trophy from Weaver, and said, "I've filmed more than 30 films in Japan, and today I finally stood on the podium. I'm not excited. Impossible. "Big River" is a movie that I have been brewing for ten years. Every scene, every line, almost every day comes to my mind. It was not until last year that I finally had the opportunity to shoot it. I didn't expect to get it. I won the Best Foreign Language Film award, which is fantastic for me."

"Of course, the works of several other directors are also very good, especially Mr. Xiao's "Infernal Affairs" which has swept the world. It's a pity, as Mr. Weaver said, this film is indeed in the portrayal of human nature. Some are not enough. Oh, Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, just a comment. "

"Thank you Mr. Weaver for his appreciation of "The Big River", thanks to the organizing committee for the affirmation of "The Big River", and thanks to the fans for their love of "The Big River". Thank you everyone."

Takahashigawa's acceptance speech received very little applause, and many fans cheered when they heard his movie mocking his idol on stage.

"Get down, you Japanese pig."

"What qualifications do you have to judge Xiao's "Infernal Affairs" based on your "Big River"?"

"Damn, I've never heard of "The Great River"."

Although Weaver also said that "Infernal Affairs" is not deep enough, he is the best commercial director in Hollywood, and "War of Aliens" topped the box office rankings. Say something to Xiao Yunhai, fans Although they were unhappy, they did not feel unacceptable.

But what kind of thing is Takahashigawa? If he hadn't just won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, everyone would have no idea who he was.

Such an unknown person dares to speak of the classic "Infernal Affairs" in his heart, one can imagine how dissatisfied the fans will be.

Seeing that he seemed to have caused public outrage, Takahashigawa hurried off the podium.

Xiao Yunhai said softly: "Why do I find that I seem to be the public enemy of the filmmakers? Weaver is like this, and so is Takahashi Chuan, who can't be beaten by eight poles. Do you really think I won't get angry?"

Kerry smiled: "Because they are all directors who have just joined Paramount Pictures, they will naturally be enemies with you. Xiao, it seems that things are not going well."

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I didn't expect them to really dare to do this, it's too unscrupulous."

Ye Yongren sighed: "Oscar's water has always been very deep. When I won the Best Supporting Actor Award, I heard that it is very complicated and many external things will affect the final result, so I have not held the Oscar for a long time. Any expectations. The last time Lao Liang was nominated, he didn't even show up."

Liang Hui said: "I know that I won't be able to win the prize, so what are you doing here is a waste of time."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Anyway, let's go through this process first. The next best supporting actress will be awarded by me, and I will prepare it."

Under the guidance of a staff member, Xiao Yunhai met his partner, the famous Hollywood movie star David Hartnett.

David Hartnett has participated in "The Lord of the Rings" and has a very good relationship with Xiao Yunhai.

After a couple of greetings, David Hartnett said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm really sorry that you didn't win the Best Foreign Language Film Award."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I have already prepared this in my heart. Look at it, the best actor, the best actor, the best director, and the best film will not have my share. Hmph, some people It's overkill."

Xiao Yunhai's words made David Hartnett a little uncomfortable, so he could only helplessly smile.

After all, there are still two or three people standing next to him. If they say it is inappropriate and they spread it out, even if he is a Hollywood superstar, he will be in great trouble.

Xiao Yunhai knew his difficulties, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I don't care much about Oscar."

David Hartnett asked: "Mr. Xiao, can your "2012" box office reach more than $15 billion? It sounds like a myth."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I believe that '2012' will definitely work."

The two chatted for a while, and under the introduction of the host, they walked onto the stage together.

In the warm applause of the crowd, Xiao Yunhai said: "I am very honored to present this Best Supporting Actress Award with David today. When I was still in school, several of David's films were from our school. Focus on learning videos. Now that I see a real person, I feel a little excited."

David Hartnett didn't give Xiao Yunhai any face at all, he laughed and said, "Everyone, please don't believe Mr. Xiao's words. We have known each other on the "Lord of the Rings" crew for a long time, and we have become very good friends. Saying it is just looking for something to say.”

"Hahaha."

There was laughter from the audience.

Xiao Yunhai shook his head, sighed, and said, "I swear that I will never give awards with the guy next to me in the future. The main reason is that his ability to dismantle the stage seems to be better than his acting skills, so I am speechless."

"babble"

When the crowd heard it, they roared.

After everyone was quiet, Xiao Yunhai continued: "Tonight is destined to be my sad night. The two shortlisted films did not win a single award. To be honest, this hurts me very much. Mr. Weaver said that I The movie is not deep enough, huh, you are right, compared to the artistic movie like "Alien", "Infernal Affairs" is indeed far worse."

"Pfft."

"Hahaha."

"Battle of Aliens" is a complete commercial film, and it has nothing to do with art at all. It only won the Oscar for visual effects that year, and other awards were not even shortlisted.

When Xiao Yunhai said this, he was deliberately mocking Weaver.

The photographer did his job fully, and the camera immediately focused on Weaver. Like Xiao Yunhai before, there was no expression on his face.

Xiao Yunhai didn't intend to let him go, and continued: "Look at Mr. Weaver's face now, it's exactly the same as me sitting under the stage at that time. I really like the feeling of standing on the stage."
