On February 27th, US time, the 77th Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

At this Oscar, the domestically selected films for the Best Foreign Language Film are "House of Flying Daggers" and "20, 30, 40".

Among them, A Zai's "Big Man Has Great Wisdom" was released on October 1, 2003, earlier than the release time specified by the academy, so his registration qualification was cancelled.

Of course, the chances of several movies winning awards are low. Let’s not mention the quality of the movies. In recent years, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and “Thirteen” have won awards one after another.

The Oscars will no longer award the Best Foreign Language Film to a Chinese-language film. Regardless of whether it is produced in the Mainland, Hong Kong Island or Bay Area, after all, it belongs to the same country.

Except for Zhang Xiaohua, no one from the cast of "House of Flying Daggers" came all the way.

Lao Mouzi probably knew that because of the quality of "House of Flying Daggers", the probability of winning an award was lower than that of his wife being pregnant.

The reason why Dong Xi participated in this Oscar was mainly because "Kung Fu Panda" was nominated for the Best Animated Feature Film.

The history of the Oscar for Best Animated Film is very short. It was only established and awarded in 2001.

Since 2002, the Oscar for Best Animation has been divided into two categories: Best Animated Feature Film and Best Animated Short Film.

This award is easily publicized. For example, among the more than 7,000 members of the Film Academy, less than 200 people previously participated in voting for the animation award.

And these people are all professionals from the animation and animated short films departments.

It is obviously much easier to deal with this group of people than to deal with the academic old-timers.

This year’s competitors for “Kung Fu Panda” are Pixar’s “The Incredibles” and DreamWorks’ “Shrek 2.”

The global box office of the two movies was US$630 million and US$920 million, both of which are giant-level works.

The current global box office of "Kung Fu Panda" is only a little over 300 million US dollars. The box office does not represent everything, but it can prove the number of viewers who watch the film.

Fortunately, it is not up to the audience to vote for the best animated feature film.

In terms of word-of-mouth, the current imdb score of "Kung Fu Panda" has increased slightly, remaining at around 8.1 points.

It belongs to the category of absolute classics and can even enter the imdb250 ranking, but the problem is... the ratings of the other two movies are not weak either.

The reputation of "Shrek 2" as a sequel has declined somewhat, but it still maintains a score of around 7.4.

And since the first one already won the Best Animated Feature Film, it is a runner-up.

"The Incredibles", like "Kung Fu Panda", also ranked at the forefront of animated movies with a high score of 8.1.

Popular ratings have a certain reference value for whether a movie can win awards, but most of them are professionals, to be precise, professionals with voting rights.

Judging from the plot setting, "The Incredibles" represents American heroes + superpowers, while "Kung Fu Panda" symbolizes Eastern kung fu + pandas.

The competition between the two films can be seen as an ideological battle.

If it were a domestic award, it would take a long time.

But in reality, not many Americans care about this.

So judging from the plot alone, both movies are "new wine in old bottles". The freshness may be more advantageous for panda Axi, after all, he is a foreign monk.

In the professional field, the ink painting elements used in "Kung Fu Panda" have received rave reviews in the industry, especially abroad, where many big names have publicly expressed their praise.

For example, Hayao Miyazaki once said in an interview: ""Kung Fu Panda" is the rebirth of Chinese ink animation."

You must know that at the peak of domestic animation in the last century, it was definitely the best in the industry. The release of "Princess Iron Fan" made Osamu Tezuka give up medicine and pursue painting; the release of "Havoc in Heaven" made Hayao Miyazaki determined to devote himself to the animation industry.

The idea of ​​lifelong struggle.

Even the always arrogant Associated Press surrendered and said: The United States will never be able to produce such animation!

Compared with previous domestic animations, "Kung Fu Panda" learns from its strengths and offsets its weaknesses, and moves forward on the shoulders of giants.

Ordinary viewers will only find the picture smooth and harmonious, while only professionals will understand what a great innovation this is.

As for Pixar's "The Incredibles", it is the famous "Wall-E series", and the first five works have been called the "revolution" of computer-animated feature films.

But it is this exciting "revolution" and this blind pursuit of "innovation" that makes Pixar become too obsessed with the capillary lens and innovate for the sake of innovation.

The evaluation in the industry can only be said to be average.

The most important thing is that neither Pixar nor DreamWorks have much desire to win awards, and naturally they will not invest too much in public relations expenses.

In this regard, Xizi Film and Television, which has hired a professional company to lobby since last year, has a huge advantage.

An Oscar for Best Animation is a recognition and encouragement for domestic animation.

So Dong Xi personally led the team to prepare for this award.

In the front yard of a certain house in Beverly Hills, a black stretched Lincoln sedan was parked, and Dong Xi's assistant and bodyguard were waiting for the two protagonists.

"How are my clothes? Is there anything inappropriate?" Xu Qing was rarely nervous and kept asking Dong Xi's opinion.

"Don't worry, honey." Dong Xi kissed the other person gently and said familiarly: "You are beautiful, you just need to shine in the audience tonight."

The once steely straight man is now a man with a small mouth and sweet words come out of his mouth.

Xu Qing's fame in Hollywood mainly comes from her status as the deputy general manager of the North American branch of Xizi Film and Television, and of course Dong Xi's publicly disclosed fiancée.

Tonight she will accompany Dong Xi on the red carpet, choosing a burgundy cheongsam that perfectly sets off her graceful figure.

The Lincoln started up and sped away, heading towards the Kodak Theater where the awards ceremony was held.

Looking at the retrograde scenery outside the window, Dong Xi's mood was a little high. He put his hand on Xu Qing's thigh and massaged it gently.

"We will get a statuette tonight, right?" Xu Qing felt his mood and asked aloud.

"Of course." Dong Xi nodded, understanding what Xu Qing wanted to do.

At last year's Oscars, Dong Xi won the Best Foreign Language Film Award for "Thirteen". That night, Fan Xiaopang took a suggestive photo holding the trophy.

Caption: Sleep with "him" tonight.

This incident caused an uproar in the country. Although Xu Qing didn't say anything, she must have been very annoyed.

It is estimated that she also wants to perform such a show tonight.

The red carpet outside the Kodak Theater was a bustling scene, with a huge statue of a golden man erected at the entrance.

Reporters, movie fans and fans went crazy for the star, with flashing lights and cheers coming and going.

It can be said that the stars are shining brightly on the red carpet. It can be said that superstars are everywhere, but the thin line is not as good as a dog.

As the most important award during the awards season, the award ceremony is broadcast in more than 180 countries and regions around the world, with more than hundreds of millions of viewers watching the award ceremony.

In China, there will also be a live broadcast of the Six Princesses at 21:45 in the evening.

Of course, due to the Internet, uukanshuwww.uukanshu.com will have live broadcasts of pictures and texts online.

, the list of winners cannot be concealed at all.

The timeliness of the TV station was once again beaten down.

The red carpet was bustling with people and stars were walking around. At this time, a black stretched Lincoln sedan slowly stopped at the entrance of the red carpet.

The waiter, wearing a red vest and black suit and trousers, quickly stepped forward and opened the car door.

Dong Xi and Xu Qing got out of the car and entered the venue hand in hand, with bright smiles on their faces and waving to reporters and fans on both sides.

"Xi, Xi!"

"Panda~"

"Jason, Jason!"

Before the reporters could react, the fans were already screaming.

"Walter? Is this guy so popular?" This scene made the reporters look at each other.

With a series of cool moves in North America in the past two years, Dong Xi has also solidified his reputation as a Chinese action star.

At the time of the explosion of "The Bourne Supremacy" and "Kung Fu Panda", his popularity in North America reached its peak.

Xu Qing on the side looked a little dull. As an actor, she was not recognized.

However, she did not feel disappointed. Instead, she looked at Dong Xi with pride.

"This is my man!"
