Yo-Yo Ma's repertoire is the soundtrack of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and under his cello performance, the amazing kneading and glissandal skills make this Western stringed instrument have both the agitation of the horse-head piano and the lingering of the erhu, jumping from the trembling and hoarse lamentation of the A-string high register to the solid and thick statement of the C-string low range - it turns out that the cello can interpret the emotions of the Chinese so perfectly. The cool and warm timbre complements the gloomy and empty flute, lined with the clear arpeggios of the guzheng and the beautiful harmony of the strings. The sudden wind music repeats the main theme of the cello in the eager and repeated ascending of the strings, and the thin pipa wheel fingers struggle in the grand rapids of the orchestra, as if to say the vagaries of the world, but finally return to tranquility in a smoke of gunpowder. Perhaps, the film and the music itself are an accurate interpretation of Chinese Taoist Tai Chi, which is full of contradictions between yin and yang, both human nature and musical notes, and reaches the eternity of harmony in mutual reciprocity. At the end of Li Mubai's blade or the corner of the jade dragon's eyes and eyebrows, suddenly, everything was silent, and the strings were condensed.

After the performance of this heart-warming cello, the guests at the scene all gave the warmest applause, Chen Feng also couldn't help but be in awe of his compatriot, listening to his performance on the spot is really a very pleasant feeling, but also Chen Feng has his own new feelings about the cello instrument, the violin seems a little childish in comparison, and I wonder if I should buy it after I go back and learn it well.

Yo-Yo Ma's wonderful performance ended, followed by the award of the Oscar for Best Original Music, when the award presenters read "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Tan Dun!" Tan Dun was wearing a dark tunic suit, outstanding among the many men's Western-style dresses in the venue, and the clothes were suitable, which was definitely a unique landscape. His smiling Tan Dun walked onto the podium.

As the most prestigious Chinese composer in the world today, Tan Dun has always been unique for his symphony, opera and multimedia creations that integrate various cultural elements in the field of international classical music, and the original soundtrack composed by director Ang Lee for the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can be said to be a successful masterpiece that he strives to cross the music culture of the East and the West.

In Chen Feng's memory of his previous life, Tan Dun and Yo-Yo Ma were officially recognized by him because of the Oscar-winning movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and I believe that many people in China are the same.

Tan Dun was deeply influenced by the Chinese Chu culture at an early age. Later, he joined the Peking Opera Troupe and began his career as a Peking Opera musician. In 1977, he was admitted to the Composition Department of the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing and obtained a master's degree in composition. He graduated from the Graduate School of the Central Conservatory of Music in 1986 and received a scholarship from Columbia University in 1986 to obtain a doctorate degree in musical arts from Columbia University. He is one of the "Four Great Talents" of the Central Conservatory of Music, and the first string quartet "Wind. Elegant. Ode uses original materials such as folk tunes, Chinese court music, and temple hymns to give people a fresh and chic feeling, and won the 1983 Driston Awards. Second Prize in the Weber Composition Competition. After arriving in the United States, several well-known orchestras hired him to compose for the orchestra, and served as the resident composer and deputy conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra (Scotland), and held a solo concert in the United States in 1988, which was the first concert held by a Chinese musician in the United States. At that time, he was seen as a rebellious youth. In 1979, at the age of 22, Tan Dun composed his first symphonic work, "Lisao", which caused controversy because of the use of sound and technology that was considered avant-garde at the time, such as drums and Xiao. Due to his continuous exploration of sound and technology, he is considered an important representative of Chinese avant-garde music. In 1989, after the release of "Nine Songs", a work performed on homemade instruments, Tan Dun finally succeeded in the international music scene, and continued to become an important composer who has attracted more and more attention from the international music scene with his amazing creations.

Since 1990, Tan Dun has conducted a series of trials. The picture is composed of "Band Theater", which combines theatrical performance and orchestra, including "Ghost Play" for the famous "Kronos String Quartet" and "Gate" for the NHK Symphony Orchestra in Japan, which caused a sensation because of their special expression. Symphony 1997 – Heaven, Earth and Man was premiered by cellist Yo-Yo Ma, the Hong Kong Symphony Orchestra and the Chinese Chimes Orchestra at the 1997 Hong Kong Handover Concert. In the same year, the opera "Marco. Polo became the most sensational and important performance in the international music scene that year, and won Tan Dun many praises and international awards, including the Grammy Award for Composition; In addition, his opera The Peony Pavilion, the concerto Water for the New York Philharmonic, the symphony of the same name for the global millennium television celebration program 2000Today, and the Bach Passion commissioned by the Bach Academy of Music to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Bach's death, Tan Dun's diverse music has made him famous.

He is known for his stark and challenging. He has conducted the Royal Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre National de France, Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Montreal Symphony Orchestra, NHK Symphony Orchestra, Lyon Symphony Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, São Paulo Symphony Orchestra, London Sinfonietta and China Philharmonic Orchestra. He was named one of the "10 Most Important Musicians in the International Music Scene" by The New York Times in 1997.

After the routine thanks, Tan Dun said, "I've been dreaming all along. I want to make music break through borders, and today's award proves that my dream is coming true. The original music of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon builds a bridge between Eastern and Western cultures, emotion and movement, elegance and popular culture, and begins a new journey of multicultural integration. This once again confirms the profound heritage of Chinese culture and is the source of inspiration for my creation. It's a joy to see that dream and this effort now spread through the Academy Awards and through audiences in the "East-West family". Another important piece of music I have is the idea of merging music that has been separated by a culture and making them complement each other. For example, Tongguò's delicate interpretation of the spiritual and emotional world makes film music more artistic; Tong guò introduces new forms of expression and innovative ideas to make classical music more challenging and appealing to a large number of young audiences. Today's success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is an affirmation and encouragement of this attempt. ”

Tan Dun's award is the third Oscar for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", although at present, these three awards are not "grand awards", but they are the biggest achievement of Chinese films at the Oscars so far.

After the end of this award, it will be time for the guests to perform. The singer is a female singer from Iceland, Björk, Chen Feng doesn't know much about her, and the song she sings is the theme song "IveSeenItAll" in the film "Dancer in the Dark", which is more alternative, but it is worth listening.

However, at this time. Later, a staff member came over and asked Chen Feng to go backstage to prepare, because he was going to be the guest of honor for the "Best Original Song" award in the near future.

Chen Feng, accompanied by his two personal bodyguards Huang Yong and Zhang Qiangguo, followed the staff member to the backstage, and then met the previous "white-haired comedian" Steven. Martin.

"Oh, long, allow me to extend my kindest greetings to you." Steven. Martin said a little excitedly, under Chen Feng's signal, Huang Yong and Zhang Qiangguo got out of the way, he stepped forward and hugged Chen Feng tightly, so that the latter couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, before pushing him away and smiling: "Mr. Martin, then can you explain to me now, can I explain the precautions when I want to be the guest of honor later?" ”

"Oh, of course!" Steven. Martin laughed, "Thank you! So now, let me explain to you the details of the award in a while, as well as the precautions. ”

Under the introduction of this white-haired comedian, Chen Feng remembered them one by one, in fact, it was nothing, as long as he got the list, read it on stage, and then handed over the little golden figure to the winner.

"Long, while you have some time now, you can sign my name." Steven. Martin was clearly prepared, and took out a pen and a notebook as if by trick.

Chen Feng didn't expect that he, a celebrity, would come for real, and really wanted his signature, so he also smiled and took the pen and notepad handed over, and wrote the blessing and signature on the blank title page.

"Thank you, thank you so much, it's a great thing to brag about to get your autograph." Steven. Martin said happily.

Chen Feng smiled and didn't speak.

Steven. Seeing this, Martin didn't say much to Chen Feng, after all, the time is limited, and now the singing on the stage is almost over, after the award is over, the next award will start immediately, and it will be Chen Feng's turn as the guest of honor. Chen Feng walked to the aisle backstage and took a closer look at the scene on the stage.

The most critical moment also followed, as the guest of honor, Juliette. Binoche took to the stage, she is a world-renowned French film star, and her masterpiece is "Prague Love". What she wants to announce this time is the winner of the "Best Foreign Language Film". After a deliberate pause for a long time, she finally pronounced the name of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which won the Best Foreign Language Film Award, and the audience boiled in an instant, and the enthusiasm and pride of countless domestic viewers who watched the live broadcast were also boiling. The Chinese inside and outside the stadium cheered thunderously. Chen Kaige, Ang Lee, and Zhang Yimou have all been nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, but they missed every time, and this time Ang Lee finally added the latest language - Chinese to the ranks of Best Foreign Language Film.

Ang Lee, who walked up to the podium, held the Oscar statue in his hand, took out a small piece of paper with a calm expression, and thanked him: "Thank you." Thank you for the special attention that the Academy has given to non-English films. I would like to thank my producers, Xu Ligong, Bill. Kong, thank you to these talented actors, and thank you to everyone who has contributed so much to the film. Thank you James. Shamus, David. Linde, Ted. Hope, thank you, everyone. Thank you Barbara from Columbia's Asia office. Robinson, thank you to Sinic Galle. Wigan. Thank you Tom of Xinli Classical Music. Bernard, Michael. Baker, Marcy. Bloom's outstanding work. Finally, I would like to thank my relatives and friends in Taiwan, my partners in Hong Kong, and everyone who helped us immensely when we were filming in the mainland. It's a great honor. Thank you. ”

The theme of Ang Lee's acceptance speech was "thanks," and he read a long list of thanksgiving to everyone who participated in the filming. In the past, when people talked about the hands of Chinese film directors, they would definitely only think of Zhang Yimou and others, but after this year's Oscars, Ang Lee has undoubtedly become a role model for all Chinese directors to follow, and the first Chinese director.

Li An was born on October 23, 1954 in Chaozhou, Pingtung, Taiwan, and was a county magistrate during the Kuomintang period. Li Ang grew up in a scholarly family, his father was the principal of a middle school, and he had an ancient style of governing the family, and he taught his children very strictly, and even knelt and bowed at home during the New Year's holidays for a long time. Ang Lee grew up in such a family with a strong Chinese atmosphere, which brought him not only the immersion of Chinese culture, but also the typical Chinese model of the patriarchal family that provided him with the basis and even the original material for his later works. He graduated from the National Taiwan University School of Art in 1975 and went to the United States to study. He first studied theater directing at the University of Illinois, where he earned a bachelor's degree in theater. Later, he went to New York University to study film production and obtained a master's degree in film. During his studies at New York University, he was awarded a scholarship from New York University and the Golden Spike Award for Best Short Feature Film at the Taiwan government's Independent Film Competition. He graduated from New York University in 1984 with "FineLine" as his graduation project. The film won the Gold Award and Best Director at the New York College Student Film Festival.

Since then, Ang Lee has not been able to find a job-related to movies, so he has to stay at home, relying on the meager salary of his wife Lin Huijia, who is still studying for a doctorate in biology at the University of Illinois, in order to alleviate the guilt in his heart, in addition to reading a lot of movies at home every day, watching a lot of movies, and writing scripts, he also takes care of all the housework, is responsible for buying vegetables, cooking, taking care of the children, and cleaning up the house. During this period, he carefully studied the script structure and production methods of Hollywood films, trying to organically combine Chinese and American cultures to create some new works. In this way, before filming the first movie, Li Anwo worked as a "houseman" at home for 6 years, and practiced good cooking skills, and even his mother-in-law praised him. Later, recalling this difficult life, Ang Lee is still very painful: "I think if I had the integrity of a Japanese husband, I would have committed suicide by seppuku." ”

In 1990, Ang Lee completed the play "PushingHands", which won the Taiwan Government Award for Outstanding Drama. The script not only earned Ang Lee a 400,000 yuan bonus, but also gave him his first chance to direct a film independently. In 1992, he directed his first film himself, bringing "Pushing Hands" to the screen. A comedy that reflects the generational and cultural differences in the lives of a Taiwanese in New York, the film was nominated for eight awards including Best Director at the Golden Horse Awards, and won the Special Jury Prize for Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Director. In addition, the film also won the Best Film Award at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival.

Thanks to the success of "Pusher", Ang Lee once again got the opportunity to direct a film. The second film was "The Wedding Banquet" released in 1993, in which it was a popular drama about the traditional concept of lun theory. It is a Chinese film made entirely in the Hollywood model, and it has won unanimous praise after its release. The film won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, Best Director at the Seattle Film Festival, and was nominated for a Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In his native Taiwan, the film won the 30th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for Best Work, the Director and Screenplay Awards, and the Best Work Award for the Audience Vote. Since then, Ang Lee's reputation in the international film and television industry has skyrocketed, and he has become a world-renowned director in one fell swoop.

In 1994, he filmed "Eating Men and Women". This is his third film, which focuses on family issues and the conflict between old and new. This is Ang Lee's most successful film to date, the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, the Best Work and Best Editing Award at the 39th Asia-Pacific Film Festival, the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the 77th David Griffith Awards, and won the Zuò Award for Independent Production and the Outstanding Work Award at the 7th Taipei Film Awards, ranking first among the top ten Chinese films in Taiwan in 1994. After the success of this film, Ang Lee stepped into the door of mainstream Hollywood filmmaking, and in 1995 he directed his first English-language film, Sense and Sensibility, which was adapted from Jane. Austen's novel "Sense and Sensibility" is written by the film's heroine, Emma Brown. Thompson. The film has won numerous awards, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture (Thompson also won Best Screenplay Adaptation), a Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and several British Academy Awards. Ang Lee was also named Best Director by the National Film Critics Association and the New York Film Critics Association.

In 1997, Ang Lee began to adapt Rick again. Moody's novel "The Ice Storm", in which Ang Lee interprets the subtle side of American family relations in the seventies, has made Ang Lee famous in the international film and television industry. The film has also won numerous awards from the International Film Association, including screenwriter James Brown in 1997. James Schamus won the Best Screenplay Award at the Gona International Film Festival. With this film, Ang Lee established himself as one of Hollywood's top directors.

Subsequently, Ang Lee directed several more works, but none of them received great recognition and response.

In 2000, Ang Lee, who has been a fan of martial arts since childhood, accepted the invitation of Xu Gongli, the former general manager of Taiwan's China Film Company, to launch the Chinese martial arts film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which interpreted the breadth and depth of Taijiquan, which allowed him to break through the bottleneck and complete a gorgeous turn. Ang Lee's success has once again stimulated the ambition of Chinese directors to "rush to the Olympics". In the following Oscars, Chinese directors copied the "martial arts + blockbuster" model of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and launched a charge against the Oscars again and again-

In 2003, "Hero" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film;

In 2004, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" represented Chinese mainland films in the nomination for Best Foreign Language Film but was unsuccessful;

In 2005, "Ambush on All Sides" was nominated for Best Cinematography;

In 2006, "The City Full of Golden Armor" was nominated for the Best Costume Design Award; Even Feng Xiaogang, who has always taken the route of commercial New Year films, also joined the "Chong Olympics" army with "Night Banquet". Although "Night Banquet" in order to avoid competing with the top two of "The City Full of Golden Armor", "curves to save the country" represented Hong Kong in the Oscar competition, these two Chinese martial arts masterpieces still failed to win. After all, Ang Lee has only one.

Ang Lee's speech was very brief, and before Chen Feng could react, he had already taken the lead in stepping down with the little golden man. At the side of Steven. Under Martin's reminder, Chen Feng sobered up, took the list of winners he handed over to him, and Shi Shiran walked onto the award stage and stood in front of the vertical microphone in the center. At this time, the scene had already erupted into an earth-shattering noise, and almost all the guests present stood up from their seats and cheered and applauded him.

At this moment, Chen Feng personally felt his influence at the Oscars, in the United States, and even in the world. Hanks, Spielberg, and other characters familiar to fans around the world, Chen Feng also saw the "big-mouthed beauty" Julia. Roberts looked excited, got up from his seat, and applauded him vigorously, without the slightest international superstar posture, as if he were a standard long fan.

"Thank you! Thank you. Chen Feng smiled on his face, and nodded his head to the audience in a natural manner, and finally waited until the applause faded before Chen Feng opened his mouth and continued, "Getting such warm applause from all the friends at the scene, it almost makes me think that everyone recognizes me as Mr. Tom Hanks......" The audience at the scene suddenly burst into laughter, "I have to say, I can get the applause of so many friends at the scene, I am very fluttering, this feels great, maybe possible, in the near future, I want to pay tribute to Tom. Mr. Hanks learns how to win an Oscar with ease. The meaning of Chen Feng's words is undoubtedly announced in disguise that he is going to enter the film and television industry and compete for the position of Oscar.

"Okay, let's get down to business, the next award I'm going to announce is the Best Original Song Award, please watch the big screen!"

Under Chen Feng's introduction, a small list of shortlisted songs was shown to the audience on the big screen.

After the shortlist of the best original song on the big screen was displayed, Chen Feng opened the final award card in his hand, and when he saw the name and track on it, it was Tan Dun's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Chen Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In the history of his previous life, this award was not won by Tan Dun in the end, but by a veteran singer liked by Americans, even if his award-winning song was not as good as the theme song "AloveBeforeTime" of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the eyes of many people. Now because of Chen Feng's appearance, this history has changed, think about it, since the Oscar organizers let him be the guest of honor for this award, plus the "conditions" conveyed by Chen Feng before, if they don't arrange it like this, they will definitely offend Long, with the lessons of the Grammys, they will not take such a huge risk.

After Chen Feng saw the list of winners, he didn't deliberately make suspense like most of the award presenters, and read directly: "The winners of the 73rd Academy Award for Best Original Song are - "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "AloveBeforetime", Tan Dun. ”

Tan Dun followed the previous "Best Original Music Award", and won another golden man. This time, Tan Dun was even more excited than just now, in the applause of the audience, Tan Dun and his wife hugged tightly, and then hugged director Ang Lee and others one by one, and then walked onto the podium.

Chen Feng took the little golden figure from Miss Manners's tray, handed it to Tan Dun, and said to him in Chinese: "Congratulations, you won the award again, you have won glory for us Chinese." I'm so proud of you! ”

"Thank you! Thank you! I'm proud of you too! Tan Dun took the little golden figure, changed his previous steadyness, hugged Chen Feng warmly, and then faced the guest seat, hugged Chen Feng with one hand, and took pictures of the reporter in front of him with the other hand, smiling like a trumpet flower on his face. The audience at the scene saw that the two Chinese acted so affectionately and harmoniously, and they all stood up and applauded them.

Tan Dun finally let go of Chen Feng, and then delivered his acceptance speech: "I want to thank the people I have thanked before. Thank you, thank you long, he is the pride of all our Chinese, he personally awarded me this golden image award, let me feel more meaningful, thank you! Thank you! ”

Chen Feng watched with a smile next to him, and when he finished speaking, he walked off the stage with him and returned to the guest seat.
