my time as a director

"Thank you everyone, thanks to the crew and colleagues who have worked with me for a hundred days and nights. We have created the story of "The Truman Show" together. I also thank the Academy of Film Science and Art for its recognition of this film."

After finishing the formulaic acceptance speech in English, he continued, "Please allow me to use my own language to express my sincere gratitude to those who care about and support me across the ocean."

Li Qian then switched to another, and said loudly in front of the many cameras and the eyes of countless compatriots behind the cameras.

"It should be around [-]:[-] noon in China. It's time for everyone to eat. Thank you for your concern. You have a share of this statuette. I wish you all smiles and appetites."

The viewers who watched the live broadcast thought that Li Qian was about to give a provocative tirade, but when they heard his vulgar words, they almost couldn't help laughing.

"I'll go, Li Qian is too funny, I thought I would like to thank TV, Optoelectronics, and the elders in my hometown."

"Just for this little golden man, I'm going to eat three more bowls today!"

"I'll eat pork knuckle rice later, I need to add two more marinated eggs!"

"It's so true. Fortunately, Mi Lijian can't understand, otherwise I guess I should make fun of Li Qian, haha"

"Eat and eat, watch the live broadcast while eating, everyone should have a good lunch."

"There are big duck legs in the cafeteria today, I ordered three."

"So you like to eat duck legs? I ate two ducks in one meal!"

"I guess it's because the auntie in the cafeteria can't shake the duck legs, hehe."

"Who said that, you haven't seen it before. Once I beat chicken legs, my aunt shook the chicken legs twice habitually, and then she scooped up some soup for me. At that time, I was dumbfounded."

"Oh, I'm so fucking laughing, I suddenly want to eat chicken legs, and the abalone and lobster in front of me suddenly don't taste good."

"Just asked the restaurant owner, they don't have chicken legs, so I smashed his shop!"

On Li Qian's side, after delivering his acceptance speech, he stepped off the stage again to meet the applause and camera lens, and returned to his seat.

"This is the Little Golden Man, pure or not." Zhang Wei asked stupidly.

"Nonsense, this thing is so heavy that it weighs eight catties, and it costs more than 100 million yuan in pure gold."

Zhang Wei smiled sheepishly, "If it's made of pure gold, it will be much more expensive than the big gift bag before."

"This is the little golden man, it's like holding a sword alone." Tong Liya looked at the trophy composed of the naked man + long sword, quite curious.

"At first it was made of bronze. During World War II, even copper could not be used. The statuette was made of plaster, and the base was still made of wood." Li Qian smiled and looked at the five rings on the base.

The five rings refer to film reels, and each reel represents the five original elements of film: actors, directors, producers, post-technical staff, and screenwriters.

There are many funny stories about the statuette.

The first Best Actor trophy was supposed to be awarded to a dog, and the number of votes was far ahead of all actors.

However, one of the judges questioned that the best actor trophy is to reward the performance of human actors, and dogs are not human beings.

So the dog was out and awarded to another actor.

I don't know if there was an animal association or something like that at that time, or I could sue the academy for discriminating against dogs.

Speaking of which, the movie starring the dog became a sensation in the United States after it was released, and brought Warner, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, back from the brink of bankruptcy.

The awards continued, and the best supporting actor and actress, as well as the best actor and actress, were all the same as the Golden Globe Awards.

Daniel Day-Lewis who starred in "Lincoln" and Jenferne Lawrence who starred in "Lincoln" both won Best Actor and Best Actress.

Li Press beat Spielberg with "Youth of Pie" and won the Best Director Award, becoming a rare director who has won two best directors.

Best picture ultimately went to "Escape from Tehran," a political drama that was announced by the first lady on the big screen.

After the award ceremony, before attending the next dinner, Li Qian went to sign a contract with the academy.

Every winner must sign such a contract.

If you do not want to keep the trophy, you must sell it back to the Academy for $1 to ensure that the statuette does not end up in the hands of private collectors.

If you refuse to sign the agreement, the statuette will have to be kept by the academy.

The home is big enough and there is no shortage of a place to put the statuettes. Of course, Li Qian signed the agreement and kept it by himself.

After walking out of the theater, countless reporters were already waiting. Seeing Li Qian come out, the more conspicuous Chinese reporters in the crowd rushed over and handed the microphone to Li Qian's mouth.

"Hi Director Li, I am a reporter from CCTV. Congratulations on winning the first Oscar statuette on behalf of a mainland film."

"Thank you."

"As No. 1 in the mainland film industry, you have successfully won the Golden Award. Is there anything Director Li would like to say to the domestic audience?"

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their support and thanks to the State Administration of Optoelectronics for giving "The Truman Show" the chance to win an Oscar."

CCTV, Xinhua News Agency, Xinlang Penguin, official or unofficial, the reporters in front of Li Qian are no less than other big names.

Li Press also came out, and the CCTV reporter suggested a photo of the two of them.

The two also agreed, and stood side by side, each holding their own Best Director] Best Foreign Language Film statuette.

With a "click", the reporters recorded this historic moment one after another. In the first Oscar, two Chinese directors won the award.

The reporters were excited.

Li Yin was also very excited to win his second Oscar for Best Director. After all, "Youth of Pi" has a global box office of nearly [-] million US dollars. Sometimes a high box office is not necessarily a good thing. I was a little worried before.

Li Qian was also very happy. The reporter just told him that the ratings of the movie channel and the number of people who watched the live broadcast of Penguin Video were much higher than expected, which also meant that more people paid attention to this year's Oscar than he imagined.

After winning the award, at least no one was disappointed.

Everyone was happy, the only one who was not happy was Fan Binbin on the other side. After finally getting the chance to attend the Oscars, the reporters all went around Li Yin and Li Qian.

Even the reporters who had been hired before surrounded them, and they were too disrespectful to do nothing after receiving money.

Still, no one cares about an unrelated actor.

Not only domestic reporters, but Mi Lijian's reporters also interviewed Li Yong, who won the best director, and more and more people came.

Li Qian broke away from the encirclement of reporters ahead of time. In fact, he is not very famous in Mi Lijian, and he is more famous in "The Truman Show". Even Deng Chao, the leading actor, might not be recognized when he walks on the street. .

However, when he was leaving, he bumped into Ichiro Takagi, the short and fat guy from Sony. When he saw the statuette of the best foreign language film in Li Qian's hand, the other party let out a cold voice and walked away.

"Who is this person, so flirtatious?" Tong Liya and the others were a little curious.

"A little devil." Li Qian smiled, but didn't go forward to mock him.

I took everyone to the banquet, and received a call from Guo Fandaoxi on the way. He is now filming "The Hobbit" with Peter Jackson in New Zealand.
