With Zuo Guangming coming to Beijing, Aunt Dai will naturally be able to visit our home more often. That's the advantage of living close by; she can go home whenever she wants.
After Chu Chu won the award, Aunt Dai was very excited, while Zuo Guangming looked on expressionlessly, but kept wiping the sweat from his palms with his knee.
Everyone was very nervous.
Next up is the award for Best Actor. The prestige of the Oscar for Best Actor is beyond doubt. Chu Yu held her breath, afraid that she wouldn't hear what the host was saying.
This movie has already won too many awards, and Chu Chu also won the Best Actress award. Logically speaking, if a movie wins the Best Actress award, the chances of winning the Best Actor award are not very high. After all, the organizing committee has its own considerations. Movies that can win the Grand Slam of awards are rare.
Chu Yu was afraid that she wouldn't hear Zuo Ran's name, and that Aunt Dai and the whole family would be disappointed. Zuo Ran had bravely entered the entertainment industry, and it was Chu Yu who had helped him get promoted. He was also the most famous artist in Hua Lai.
Even Chu Chu's fame overseas is not as high as Zuo Ran's. Over the years, Zuo Ran has worked his hardest to climb up the ladder, rarely returning home, so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep. He hasn't gotten married or had children, focusing all his energy on his career, and many of his albums have received high recognition.
In this situation, even Zuo Guangming, who did not support Zuo Ran entering the entertainment industry, relented, realizing that the child had indeed had a difficult time and that the path of music was not one that anyone could choose to take.
Chu Yu was extremely nervous, wondering how disappointed everyone would be if Zuo Ran didn't win the award, until the female host announced the male lead's name.
The Dai family fell silent for a moment, no one spoke, until Zhou Yun suddenly clapped her hands and exclaimed excitedly:
"Zuo Ran! Did she pronounce Zuo Ran's English name? That's Zuo Ran's name, right?"
The camera focused on Zuo Ran's face. Zuo Ran stood up and hugged Zhong Buyi and Chu Chu. Chu Chu was moved to tears, and Zuo Ran was also in tears. Everyone was happy for them.
Zuo Ran also gave an acceptance speech. Aren't all acceptance speeches pretty much the same? But when you hear Zuo Ran thanking his family, the film company boss, and the director on TV, the people whose names are mentioned are still excited.
"Auntie, Zuo Ran really won an award! He's so outstanding. His albums keep winning awards, and we can't even display all the trophies at home. He also won an Oscar for his movie. His fans must be so excited!" Chu Yu said, her eyes filled with tears.
Aunt Dai covered her mouth and cried.
"This kid has suffered a lot, and I never thought he would get to where he is today. Back then, when he entered the entertainment industry, his father never supported him, thinking that he was wasting his time. But now it seems that the kid really loves music and is really suited for this path!"
Zuo Guangming sighed and patted her back. It wasn't that he didn't support her; it was just that the two families only had two younger generations, Zuo Ran and Dai Donglin. Zuo Ran was entering the entertainment industry, and Dai Donglin didn't want to take over. Who wouldn't be anxious?
Fortunately, Dai Donglin returned to take over, so Zuo Guangming was no longer in such a hurry. He just hoped that Zuo Ran could have children soon and raise the next generation.
At the beginning of the new millennium, Hualai Film Company's film "The Grandmaster" was nominated for an Oscar and won 13 awards, including Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Picture, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, and Best Art Direction.
It became the most awarded film in the history of Chinese-language cinema.
It is also the first film in the history of Chinese-language cinema to simultaneously win Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Actor.
Wallace Films emerged as the biggest winner at this year's Oscars!
Chu Yu was no pushover; he had someone prepare a press release long ago. Now that the film awards were all announced, Hua Lai Company's writers changed a few awards, edited the press release, and sent the news to major newspapers.
For a time, all media outlets were reporting on this. When you turned on the TV, you saw images of Zuo Ran and Chu Chu winning the award. Magazines and newspapers were all about this movie. The movie hadn't even been released in mainland China yet, but it had already created a sensation.
Chu Yu struck while the iron was hot, moving up the film's release date and taking advantage of its Oscar win to release it in major theaters. In no time, the box office was booming, with good news coming in every day.
Looking at all this good news, Chu Yu could only say, "The new millennium is truly wonderful!"
