Starting from the Avengers' hype about "Liu Jingting's Oscar declaration", the discussion about "Liu Jingting's new movie" started online and offline. Until Liu Jingting himself admitted in magazines and micro-blogs that he wanted to march towards the Oscars, this discussion reached a climax. .tide. ?
Since the original Nobel Prize was also won amid a lot of doubts, the voices of doubts this time are relatively weak. On the contrary, under the manipulation of some people, everyone's expectations for Liu Jingting are getting higher and higher.
This is a very simple logical relationship. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment will be.
Then, "Forrest Gump", regarded as the "number one Oscar contender", was released, quickly setting off a "Forrest Gump" whirlwind around the world, and everyone naturally thought of Liu Jingting and his so-called "breakthrough movie" "prison-themed films".
This is also a very interesting thing. Generally speaking, people rarely regard a movie as the work of a certain screenwriter, but as "the work of director xx". Audiences with subtitle control will be more aware of this.
Just like during the Nobel turmoil, Liu Jingting's words "I must win the Nobel Prize in three years" made every work that was eligible for the Nobel Prize within those three years related to him.
"Liu Jingting has never stopped since his debut."
At first, the media and netizens were still keen on talking about "Gu Yong's birth year" and "Liu Jingting's year". Later, they discovered that every year is his year. As long as he puts his mind to it, there is no need to hire a separate team for publicity. The headlines are as lacking as the toilet. What a novelty.
This kind of formulation subsequently became useless, and gradually no one mentioned it.
after. Martial arts novels began to decline, and more and more people began to worry or expect that Liu Jingting would gradually disappear from everyone's sight. Unexpectedly, he opened the flood of historical novels with his majestic "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". And stepped into the more eye-catching entertainment circle and started the production of TV series.
Just when "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" entered the dull and long filming period, the Oscar incident turned out. The editors of the entertainment and culture section of some portals even joked privately that it would be better to keep Liu Jingting on the headlines and update his recent news once a week. news.
After "Forrest Gump", there is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Because this movie is about martial arts, there are more possibilities for comparison with Liu Jingting. Domestic "anti-ancient" commentators commented that "Crouching Tiger" is deeper than any of Liu Jingting's works. The reason why martial arts novels are difficult to reach the mainstream is because they lack such serious works that explore the human heart.
This view is naturally untenable and was quickly besieged by readers, writers and other commentators, but this view itself conforms to the interests and tendencies of some people. It also gathered a certain amount of supporters. Fight stubbornly against the majority of "preservationists".
"If nothing else, let's make an objective evaluation. Of all the martial arts novels by Gu Yongsheng, which one can achieve such great results abroad after being adapted into a movie, and may even win an Oscar?"
Now when discussing Liu Jingting, the most correct direction and style of painting must be to lead towards the Oscars, because everyone¡¯s focus is on this news.
"The Shawshank Redemption" therefore achieved a brilliant result of $25 million on its premiere day, which was on par with "Forrest Gump". To the surprise of many people, the first batch of movie reviews were the same as those of its current biggest rival, "Forrest Gump." Showing an overwhelming trend, several well-known movie rating websites also gave "Shawshank" scores that were comparable to "Forrest Gump".
"Originally, I went into the cinema with the intention of watching a 'good show'. As a result, I really saw a good show. I have never seen such an exciting prison movie. I am still stuck in it. I can¡¯t help myself in the plot, Liu Jingting may really create another miracle this time.¡±
"This is a film that so far explains the most profound and perfect expression of the beautiful word 'hope'!"
"The most powerful commentary on freedom, a great work!"
"There are some birds that can't be caged! Five stars, highly recommended!"
¡°A feast!¡±
¡°A wonderful movie that doesn¡¯t require love and beauty!¡±
Except for a few viewers who said they had "too high expectations for Nobel laureate Liu Jingting," at least 80% of the viewers gave positive reviews. Large-scale praise for the film, as well as continued high ratings on professional film data websites, all clearly show that this is a film. A really good movie.
Driven by curiosity, more viewers walked into the theater the next day, and then more praise appeared in online forums.
"Freedom" and "hope" became the most frequently used words to evaluate this film, and comparisons with "Forrest Gump" gradually began, until some viewers directly shouted, "This film is more shocking than "Forrest Gump" After "mind", the two pieces ofThe fire began to enter a white-hot stage.

"Now that the entire American film world is in turmoil about you, how do you feel?"
On the way back to the Yingri Building from Sunshine Academy, Yang Lilu couldn't help but turned her head curiously and asked Liu Jingting. Ever since "Forrest Gump" was released, he has become indifferent to news from the United States, no matter what other editors say He always answered the topic in monosyllables and showed little interest.
"normal."
"If you're like this, I'm going to bite you."
Liu Jingting suddenly made a face and said with a smile: "Of course I'm excited, but who knows the outcome"
"Which film do you want to win the award?"
""Forrest Gump" is more likely, but for me, no matter which one, the result is the same, isn't it?"
Liu Jingting squeezed Yang Lilu's hand.
Yang Lilu nodded obediently. As long as he could win the award, he would have completed his mother's task. By then, there would be no one in the world who would object to their being together.
"Do you think Qiao Keli can fully recover?"
Yang Lilu felt peaceful and comfortable at the moment, thinking of Qiao Keli whom she had just seen, and asked with concern.
"At least I've made a lot of progress. I couldn't speak before, but now I can at least talk to people."
Yang Lilu nodded and said, "She seems to be very familiar with you."
¡°We have known each other for many years, so we should have left some impression.¡±
The two of them chatted. Unknowingly, I walked to the Yingri Building. As soon as I returned to the office, Aunt Qing pointed to Liu Jingting's desk and said: "Ten calls. Three are from Xingyue, and the remaining seven are from the United States. They are all on the note. "
"Thank you, Aunt Qing."
"Thank me? I will soon become your secretary." Xu Qing said while typing on the keyboard.
Liu Jingting smiled apologetically, looked at Yang Lilu again, and returned to his seat.
According to Aunt Qing¡¯s message, I first called Gong Chengpin back to discuss the shooting issues of ¡°Romance of the Three Kingdoms¡± which was about to be completed, and reconfirmed matters related to the release of ¡°Harry Potter¡±.
A call from the United States. Mostly to announce the good news and inform him about the Oscar application, Liu Jingting first called WB Robert, and then returned to PLM Frank.
"I've changed the last few scenes of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". I'll send them to you for a look." Xu Qing said, still staring at the screen.
"OK."
At this time, Chang Youdao posted a screenshot of a post on an American film forum about the Oscar predictions for "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption" in the work group.
"As a side note, can the boss tell us the surprise now? Is it "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Actually. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had just come out. A few editors guessed six to seven points, and after the movie was actually released, two more points were added. The reason they think this way is that in this world, no one can write better martial arts except their own boss.
"um, yes."
¡°So you won¡¯t even miss the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film?¡±
"Did you see everything?"
"yes."
"yes."
The office on the first floor was already jumping for joy, Chang Youdao shouted: "It's too powerful. How big a feat is this? I'm afraid it's unprecedented, right?"
"Isn't that what our boss has always been like? He either doesn't take action. Taking action is a big deal." Wang Jianshan said.
¡°If the best picture and best foreign language film win at the same time, you can apply for a Guinness record.¡±
"Who knows where the boss's limit is?"
??Everyone smiled and shook their heads. They were both proud and shocked. They had always used the highest standards to speculate on what Liu Jingting had done, but in the end they still found that Liu Jingting played higher, bigger, and stronger.
So, even if you guessed it, it was still a surprise.

"Forrest Gump" has been released in other countries since mid-October. The good reputation accumulated in the country has made the film achieve equally good results overseas. Maybe the historical experience is not as deep as that of Americans, but "life is like With a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will taste like." This line has become popular around the world.
"Shawshank" and "Crouching Tiger" are also moving forward with the same high spirits. The former's current ratings have begun to lead "Forrest Gump", and the advantage of being "now in theaters" is reflected.
"However, these are not the winners and losers of this battle. Only the one who laughs at the end will laugh best, and the result will be in February next year."
In November, ""Schenck's Redemption" ended perfectly with a box office of 550 million US dollars. Although it was slightly inferior to "Forrest Gump", it still surprised Hollywood.
With the addition of "Harry Potter" and "Age of Planets" in the Christmas season, this year's total box office is basically certain to break the historical record ahead of schedule.
On December 18, the box office of "Planetary Age" on its first day was 42 million, and when "Harry Potter" was released on the 22nd, it exceeded 100 million.
Then, "Harry Potter" officially started a box office war with "Planet Age" with a small victory of 48 million on the first day, a Christmas war.
This year can be regarded as the most lively year in the history of American movies, with Oscar battles and Christmas box office battles. The excitement inside and outside the play was almost synchronized.
In January, the results of the Golden Globe Awards were announced. Not surprisingly, "Forrest Gump" won the best picture, best screenplay, and best actor awards. It seems that in order to balance the awards, "Shawshank" was given the best director and best actor awards. With three awards including Best Supporting Actor and Best Screenplay Adaptation, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" deservedly won the Best Foreign Language Film Award.
Subsequently, the Oscars announced the nominations. Not surprisingly, "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption" were jointly nominated for Best Picture. However, the former's majestic thirteen nominations far exceeded the latter and other awards this year. All videos.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was nominated for both Best Foreign Language Film and Best Picture.
"Rise of the Planet Age" also has five nominations, and "Harry Potter" still remains insulated from the Oscars.
at this time. Insiders have concluded that this year¡¯s Oscars will not escape Liu Jingting¡¯s pocket.
But uninformed people have begun a new round of attacks on Liu Jingting based on the Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
¡¡
The evening of February 27th, local time in the United States (the morning of February 28th, Yanjing time). The new Academy Awards ceremony will be held as scheduled.
Since China has a film nominated for the first time, and Liu Jingting will go to the scene to give the Oscars the final blow, the ratings of this Oscar Awards Ceremony in Greater China are bound to set an astonishing record.
For the same reason, Liu Jingting and Bluetus¡¯ long-term topic warm-up will also make this awards ceremony the most watched in history.
This is truly a moment of great concern!
I don¡¯t know if it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement by the show crew, but the seats of the "Shawshank Redemption" crew and the "Forrest Gump" crew were connected together. Liu Jingting is in the middle, becoming the dividing point.
In addition, Lantus and the crew of "Planet Age" sat in the row in front of Liu Jingting. The distance between Liu Jingting and Lantus was within reach.
The award ceremony hasn¡¯t officially started yet, but the cameras have already panned the area several times.
At five o¡¯clock in the evening local time, the award ceremony officially began.
?Perhaps it is to add another fire to the ratings of this Oscars. The program team arranged two Hollywood first-line actors who have been nominated for Oscar Best Actor and Best Actress as the opening hosts.
After a performance that combines singing, dancing and talk show. The stage "flashes back" to the black and white film era of the 1930s and 1940s through technical means
The theme of this year¡¯s Oscars is nostalgia.
Then it¡¯s time to award the awards, starting with the best photography and art direction.
The audience at the scene and in front of the screen began to enter a state of high tension.
The result of the victory will be announced soon.
"Howeverthe program team also has endless tricks to sell off the show.
The more important the awards are, the more abnormal the awards will be.
The first important award, Best Actor, was awarded amidst such ups and downs.
""Forrest Gump", Tom!"
After going through several detours, the lottery winner finally reported the prize.
This is still acceptable. Tom is already senior, became famous early, and his performance in the movie is also very exciting. It can be said that it is well deserved.
?????????????????? Then there¡¯s a musical performance and a joke with the host
?????????????????? Best Director.
¡°Forrest Gump. Rayford!¡±
Liu Jingting¡¯s fans began to lose their composure, the atmosphere at the scene was still high, and the hearts of the audience in front of the screen began to accelerate.
"Best visual effects, "Forrest Gump"!"
"Best Editing, "Forrest Gump"!"
"Best Screenplay Adaptation, "Forrest Gump"!"
The camera kept focusing on Liu Jingting. Although he kept smiling, there were still some fragile female fans who were about to cry.
""The Shawshank Redemption" has yet to win an award! "Planet Age" also won a Best Sound Effects award."
? ??Is it going to win best picture? "
In front of the screen, movie fans and book fans clenched their fists and held their breaths, as if waiting for the final verdict. I didn't even pay enough attention to the news that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the best foreign language film.
"This year's Academy Awards, the winner of the Best Picture¡ª¡ª" The award-winning guests began to perform for a long time, and the compact music on the scene seemed to strike the hearts of the audience.
""Forrest Gump"!"
The deafening applause then reminded me that the crew of "Forrest Gump" stood up and hugged each other in celebration. I wonder if they recognized the wrong person, but the film producer sitting next to Liu Jingting actually hugged Liu Jingting.
¡°But this scene gave movie fans the impression that it was a deliberate demonstration and provocation.
"Shawshank Redemption" has failed!
At this moment, countless people beat the table, cursed, shed tears sadly, and turned off the TV or online live video. At this moment, countless people celebrated with joy, and were unwilling to miss every subsequent appearance of Liu Jingting.
"Liu Jingting, lost"
"Liu Jingting lost!"
on site.
The producer and boss of "Forrest Gump" had already appeared on the stage. The camera once again passed over Liu Jingting's calm, pretending face. It paused for a moment at Lantus, who was whispering something to the person next to him. , seems to be in a good mood.
"Perhaps everyone thinks that tonight's awards ceremony is about to end," WB boss Ed said with a smile: "But let me tell you, this Oscars ceremony now officially begins!"
Everyone thought it was a customary joke and applauded accordingly.
"I'm not kidding you!" Ed suddenly became serious, then raised his voice and said: "Now I would like to ask everyone here to give the warmest applause to invite the original story, script adaptation, and artistic director of "Forrest Gump" to The real creator of this film¡ªMr. Liu Jingting!¡±
Including the host, everyone at the scene thought they were hallucinating.
"Mr. Ed, you just said" the host asked uncertainly.
"I said, please invite Mr. Liu Jingting, the real creator of "Forrest Gump"!" Ed said loudly again.
At this time, Liu Jingting had stood up, smiled slightly, left the seat sideways, and walked towards the stage.
At this time, the host had received the latest notification from the backstage. He had no time to be shocked and quickly announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, I just received the notification. What Mr. Ed said is true!"
There was a huge uproar at the scene!
Lantus, who was whispering to his friends, turned his head blankly, and the Avengers, who were celebrating on the phone with their friends, were at a loss and speechless.
"Hey, did you hear something just now? Did I hear it wrong?"
"And, and," the host seemed to be frightened again, trying hard to control the atmosphere and his own emotions, and continued: "I also received another notification, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" which just won the best foreign language film ", also belongs to Mr. Liu Jingting!"
At this time, Liu Jingting walked onto the stage. Ed and others gave him the center seat. Liu Jingting stood in front of the microphone, facing the shocked eyes of the world, and said hello with a smile:
