Chapter 31: Ineffective
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Lin walked onto the Oscar red carpet in front of the Dolby Theater with Zhao Liying.
Chen Lin walked forward with Zhao Liying, except for occasionally waving to the movie fans who called his name, no one else was slow to act on the red carpet.
Of course, occasionally, I need to stop. After all, Ying Bao still has to put in a few poss so that I can return to China to publish a press release.
Even so, the young couple is ahead of most of the celebrity teams.
After all, it is the Oscar, the most eye-catching movie event in the world. Compared with Cannes, Golden Ball, and Oscars, both in terms of quality and film requirements.
Therefore, even some native natives in North America are dressed up in a colorful manner and compete for beauty.
Those who don’t know thought this was Cannes!
When Chen Lin and Zhao Liying entered the media area, she almost caught up with Saoirse Ronan who was walking in front, making the little girl from New York look quite embarrassed.
Saoirse Ronan, born in 1994, has won many media praises for "Brooklyn". Throughout the awards season, her name appeared on the shortlist for Best Actress.
Of course, in addition to the Best Actress selected by the New York Film Critics who support locals and the Best Actress of the British Independent Film Festival, everyone knows that she is also very clear about the Oscars this time, she is responsible for running with her.
Therefore, it’s better to stay beautifully in the interview area and show your beauty to the fullest!
Unfortunately, Chen Lin has no interaction with her, and he can't see where the beauty lies.
So, he pulled Zhao Liying past her, ignored the media reporter's request to pose for photos, and walked straight towards the entrance of the Dolby Theater.
"Wouldn't this be too rude?" Zhao Liying turned around and looked at Saoirse Ronan.
"She walked so slowly, can we blame us?"
"But…"
Zhao Liying turned her head again to look at Saoirse Ronan, and sighed in her heart, "What a beautiful girl!"
But she also knew that Saoirse Ronan was indeed walking too slowly, especially after entering the media shooting area, she seemed to have no intention of leaving. What should the people behind do if they were staying there? Stay there?
...
The 88th Academy Awards has attracted much attention from the outside world since the list of shortlists was announced. The reason is very simple. This list is really white!
Many people protested, including Will Smith and his wife, as well as famous director Spike Lee, who publicly refused to attend the award ceremony, and even posted open letters to condemn Taibai, the Academy of Performing Arts.
This is a fact. The Oscar Academy of Performing Arts, commonly known as the Academy of Film, is the vast majority of the top people are white, accounting for 94%!
Even O'Hare also made a point in an interview in January, believing that the entertainment industry should explore more talents and give everyone a chance: "The controversy caused by the Oscars is just one of the manifestations of this wide range of issues. Do we really make sure that everyone has a fair chance?"
It is useless, and the academics are unswervingly determined that there is no problem with this nomination list.
When the news spread to China, many netizens think that black people are too vitiligo?
Black people are also seniors in the United States, and no one is shortlisted for the Oscars and will be controversial. There are very few Asians nominated, so why didn’t they complain to each other?
Even Chen Lin, who walked through the red carpet and came to the interview area, was asked this question.
"Director Chen Lin, do you think the nomination list for this session is too white? Is it a racial discrimination if no black people get nominated?"
"Haha, I think this view is ridiculous. Black actors have not been nominated for this year, perhaps because their films are not favored. Just as the most mainstream Hollywood commercial blockbusters often complain that Oscars do not attach enough importance to themselves. Oscars have their own criteria for judging!"
“…What do you think of the winning form of Carol?”
"I really don't know this. Anyway, I'm in a good mood. I'm very happy to win the prize or not!"
After dealing with a few words, Chen Lin pulled Liying into the front hall of Dolby Theater.
I probably looked at it and found that there was no one I was particularly familiar with.
"Let's go to the main hall!"
...
The main hall of the Dolby Theater.
Many people have already come in, and Chen Lin quickly walked to the front row. As a film nominated for four awards, the crew of "Carol" was assigned to a relatively high position.
"You guys are here, why are you so slow? I remember that our order is not much different."
Gong Li was chatting with Bill. When he saw Chen Lin, he stood up and said.
Chen Linxian asked Liying to sit down and said to Gong Li in peace: "I don't want it either. It's too ingenious to have an American Fan Bingbing!"
"Haha, American Fan Bingbing, you are really..."
Everyone knows that Gong Li looks down on the younger generation in various ways, and the ones she misses the most are Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing!
Zhang Ziyi is because of her personal temper, while Fan Bingbing is purely because her business level is not up to standard.
Chen Lin was chatting while looking around. In about half an hour, more crew members entered the main hall of the theater.
As the award ceremony began, Dolby Theater gradually became quieter, and many people, including Chen Lin, turned their attention to the stage.
The entire stage was extremely gorgeous, and the academy obviously spent a lot of effort.
Chen Lin looked at this stage and suddenly felt a lot of thoughts. He didn't know when our Chinese-language movies could also hold this type of award ceremony.
Film festivals and other films can be held at will, and we can even catch up with the types of films that have been criticized. As long as you have money, as long as the country relaxes restrictions.
But such an influential awards season, over half a century of accumulation, is not something that can be achieved in just a few decades. Chinese-language films are far away!
At this time, the music sounded from the bottom of the stage. I felt Zhao Liying beside me pulling her. Chen Lin came to his senses and applauded with the warm applause that sounded in the theater.
Then, the host of this Oscar, black comedian Chris Rock, came on stage, which, as expected, led to the topic of "Oscar too white" that everyone is concerned about.
"I counted it. There were at least fifty black people in the short video just now!"
Probably because it was too nervous, the jokes the comedy star told were far from the expected results.
After the fifteen-minute talk show, Chris Rock announced the official start of the award ceremony, first introducing the film session, eight nominated best films including "Martian Rescue", "Space", and "Focus".
Chen Lin took out his cell phone a little annoyed and looked at the time.
Almost forty minutes have passed!
Just then J.k. Simmons walked out.
Chapter completed!
