Highest Couple [Entertainment]

Chapter 136

On February 2, the red carpet in front of the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA stretched for hundreds of meters. ABC TV station broadcast the live broadcast across the United States, 22 million North American viewers watched it, and dozens of countries broadcast it simultaneously.Numerous media have occupied favorable terrains, actively searching for the most concerned Hollywood superstars.

Star-studded on the red carpet, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are sexy and invincible couples, Anne Hathaway is elegant and noble, Halle Berry is hot, Nicole Kidman is glamorous, Kate Winslet is dignified... Every time a popular star walks by, the people standing around the red carpet and nearby buildings will give out earth-shattering cheers.

In contrast, the arrival of the crew of "The Undertaker" seemed unremarkable, like a drop of water melting into the sea.

The director Yojiro Takita and the lead actor Masahiro Motoki got off the car and took a step excitedly. The two walked side by side, looking left and right all the way, as excited as a boy in his early twenties who is about to get married.Almost forgot about the two ladies traveling with me.

Jin Eunhe shook his head in the car and laughed for a while. Looking back, he found that the supporting actress Yu Kimiko was shaking a little nervously, so he smiled at her comfortingly: "Senior, don't be too nervous. Most of the people present are from the American media. How many people will notice us. Seniors, come, follow me."

Yu Kimiko stared at Jin Eunhe's hand, took a deep breath, and held Jin Eunhe's outstretched hand: "Then please Eunhe Sang."

However, Jin Enhe was wrong.When she and Yu Kimiko walked onto the red carpet arm in arm, the welcome they received was much more enthusiastic than she expected.

"Hey! Can you look over here? Beautiful lady!" Many English-speaking reporters enthusiastically took pictures and waved their hands, trying to arouse Jin Eunhe's attention. be quick.

Unlike the director, Masahiro Motoki, and Kimiko Yu, Kim Eun-hwa is a frequent visitor to major film festivals.Even though she is not well-known in European and American countries, she naturally exudes a well-trained aura in every gesture, which is very eye-catching in the crowd.She smiled and waved to the cheering crowd around her with ease, and nodded her head gently. She was wearing a long skirt with silver tassels that swayed the floor and subtly outlined a slender and moving curve. The skirt was inlaid with countless transparent crystals and delicate embroidery dark patterns as she walked. They complement each other, reflecting dreamy brilliance in the sun.

With a charming temperament and a generous demeanor, she is not inferior to any Hollywood actress tonight.

So much so that when the reporters at the entrance saw her for the first time, they couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Beauty~"

The host of KBS TV's special live program specially set up for this Oscar awards ceremony was still discussing "Aniston took a new boyfriend to show off his love, to ex-boyfriend Brad Pitt and his current Angelina Jolie demonstrations" gossip scandal.When Jin Enheyi appeared on the big screen in the studio hall, all attention turned back to her.

"Wow! The golden actress of our Republic of Korea is really respected internationally. Americans pay more attention to her than the movie's protagonist, Masahiro Motoki."

"The international reputation of our golden actresses is not a joke, it is really very high. Those famous film festivals have to queue up to invite our golden actresses. Haven't you heard of it? Because of Venice The time of the film festival and the Montreal Film Festival coincided, and the two fought fiercely, vying to grab our golden actress to participate. In the end, "The Undertaker" won the highest award in Montreal because our golden actress agreed to attend. here."

"That's right, so if the film "The Undertaker" can finally win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, it will rely on the huge influence of our Korean stars, and it will be a victory for the Hallyu culture."

"The awards have not yet started, so let's not put too much pressure on Jin Eun and xi. At Jin Eun and xi's age, being shortlisted is already a very remarkable achievement, even if you look at all Asian artists, there is no comparison. This time It doesn’t matter if you can’t get it, next time we will make a Korean film and get the best foreign language film.”

"Hahaha, senior is right! Even if she wins an award for a Korean film next time, she will still be the leading actress in Asia."

"Yeah, a veritable superstar who has attracted worldwide attention~"

……

Several MCs were still discussing this topic enthusiastically, and Shen Changmin, who was sitting in front of the TV watching, could no longer control his desire to complain: "Where did they hear about attending for a grand prize! If you go to Japan, you really won’t become a laughing stock? So these MCs are actually the antis of Eun He Sister, right?”

Kim Jaejoong was still silently lamenting in his heart that he envied Jin Eunhe for making such a big commotion at an awards ceremony, but when he heard Shen Changmin's complaints, he burst out laughing and lightly punched Shen Changmin's arm: "MC's The job is to exaggerate the popularity of one point to ten points. The younger siblings are too powerful, and the MC also has a headache. How can the usual praise distance you from others. Of course, you can do it in any way. Are you right, Yunho. Yunho?"

No response at all.

Park Yoochun moved out early to live alone. Recently, Kim Junsu often ran home to discuss with his parents and brother when planning to buy a house.So now it's just the three of them sitting together.When Kim Jaejoong and Shen Changmin turned their heads together, they found that Zheng Yunhao was resting his chin with one hand, with a dreamy expression of a young girl, watching TV with relish.

Forget it...he doesn't have to ask anything.Kim Jaejoong silently gave up.

But Shen Changmin would not be so polite, he directly elbowed Zheng Yunhao, and asked generously: "Sister Eunhe's dress is very good, it suits her very well. Brother Yunhao, did you choose it? What brand is it?"

"Ah, yes." Zheng Yunhao agreed twice vaguely. Seeing that Jin Eunhe had already entered the venue and disappeared from the big screen, he reluctantly looked back: "Are you asking about the brand? It's ElieSaab." He flaunted triumphantly: "How is it? Isn't it amazing? I have a good vision~~ Eli Saab's design pursues lightness and elegance, exquisite luxury, and I feel that it is highly consistent with Enhe's temperament at a glance!"

Shen Changmin looked blankly: "What is that?"

"It's one of only ten HauteCoutures in the world. It's what we usually call haute couture." Kim Jaejoong has always maintained a strong interest in fashion. Hearing what they said, he explained it to Shen Changmin.After finishing speaking, he asked Zheng Yunhao with interest: "Yunhao, it seems that Ali Sabo has not opened a business in East Asia. Did the siblings take the initiative to ask each other for sponsorship?"

"It's not a sponsorship, it's a long-term partner." Zheng Yunhao corrected.

"Hiss... how did you do this?" Jin gasped.It is very difficult to endorse international big-name clothing. How did Jin Enhe skip this hurdle and become a regular partner of a higher-end haute couture brand?

"Because I told Enhe that last year's economic crisis had such a great impact on Europe and the United States, the market for advanced custom clothing will definitely shrink. Expanding new and powerful markets is the general trend. However, there are few occasions where advanced custom fashion can be displayed in front of people. The most likely to attract the attention of customers is the red carpet show and fashion week. She is well-known in various Asian countries and attends major award ceremonies frequently. Gnaw it down, but designers like AnneValerieHash and ElieSaab, which have only emerged in recent years, still have a chance to persuade."

As for how Amuse was negotiated in the end, Jin Eunhe didn't have time to pay attention to the specific details, so Jung Yunho didn't know.

Zheng Yunhao spoke very concisely.But it was enough for Kim Jaejoong to understand the basis of interest in this cooperation.

In fact, Yunho is a very capable captain, does he really want to leave?Jin Zaizhong's heart shook violently again.

On TV, the live broadcast of the red carpet has ended, and the screen switches to the content broadcast by ABC.The 81st Academy Awards ceremony has officially begun.

Jin Eunhe sat in the back area of ​​the scene with the crew of "The Undertaker", without the pressure of winning an award, and just had a deep talk with Zheng Yunhao, she was very relaxed and enjoyed watching the performance on stage.

The host is Hugh Jackman, a famous movie star from Australia. His language is witty and humorous, and he is also chic, handsome and versatile.Jin Eunhe watched it with gusto, thinking that it is reasonable for everyone to love the Oscars, this is the most interesting awards ceremony she has ever attended.Brother Yunhao is right, any art is made for people to see.Some themes are destined to have a narrow audience, but as filmmakers, isn’t it what they do to interpret them in an easy-to-understand way?

However, although the performance was interesting, what attracted Jin Eunhe the most was the presentation of various technical awards.Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Editing, Best Makeup, Best Costume Design... In order to pay tribute to these behind-the-scenes heroes who promote the continuous progress of the film, this Oscar also specially The relevant short stories filmed review the development history of these technologies.This aroused Jin Eunhe's great interest.

At the scene of the world's largest film event, which is attracting much attention and atmosphere, her filmmaker's instincts are activated, and she can't help but start thinking: Japan is already rated in Asia for soundtracks, editing and other post-production, and there is not much difference with Hollywood. But things like makeup and special effects are obviously higher in Hollywood. If she wants to make a movie, who should she ask for the soundtrack?Who does the special effects?Which makeup artist is better at what look...

As a result, when Jin Eunhe was a little distracted and thought about something else, he suddenly heard the host on the stage read: ""The Undertaker" comes from Japan."

Eh?Did she hallucinate?Could it be that deep down in her heart she is really eager to win the prize but she doesn't know it?Jin Eunhe looked up at the stage blankly.

But the performance of the directors Takita Yojiro and Motoki Masahiro left the two ladies again and happily ran all the way to the stage to receive the award, told Jin En and she obviously heard it right!

Jin Eunhe stared dumbfounded at the backs of the two men running away quickly, and turned his head to look at Yu Kimiko: There is really nothing to do with the director and Motoki-senpai.

Jin Eunhe and Yu Kimiko lagged behind. They were wearing long skirts and high heels, so they could only walk slowly towards the stage.By the time they got on stage, Director Takita had already started giving his acceptance speech.

The atmosphere at the scene was not very warm.Although what Jin Enhe said earlier was angry, he was not wrong on this point.Best Foreign Language Film is indeed the Oscar's least important award.Before each award, there will be a well-made introduction video, and the host will announce the awards after a while. Only the best foreign language film is awarded directly by the host.That's why Kim Eun-ho didn't notice that the best foreign language film award was starting until he heard the name of "The Undertaker" was read.

So Jin Eunhe stood on the podium at this time, looking at the Hollywood stars below, there was still an unreal feeling, not to mention "being infected by the atmosphere of the scene and shed touching tears".

Even watching Director Takita happy like a child, holding up the statuette, and shouting excitedly in his broken English: "I will be back!" Colleagues are happy to be recognized.But this kind of happiness is also for others, not for oneself.

Until the staff in evening gowns brought them into the backstage gracefully and considerately, director Takita recovered from the extreme joy and put the Oscar statuette in Jin Eunhe's hands with his own hands.

Jin Eunhe accepted it subconsciously, and looked at Director Takita in surprise.

He was looking at her with loving eyes: "This is the glory of our entire crew!"

The statuette is not light, and you can still feel the residual warmth after being tightly held by director Takita and Motoki for a long time in your hand.Jin Enhe suddenly felt that his heart had been stabbed.

Just a second ago, she still had the idea in her heart that "her contribution to this film is not great, and whether or not she participates will not affect the quality of the film".However, at this moment, Director Takita and Senior Motoki's joyful gaze and the remaining warmth on the statuette suddenly brought her back to the time when she was working hard with everyone when she first joined the crew of "The Embalmer". , back to the time when I readily accepted the film contract with pure love for the film.

This is also a movie she made with all her heart!

She looked down at the statuette for a while, and when she looked up again, there was already a heartfelt smile on her face.She nodded vigorously to Director Takita and Senior Motoki: "Yes! It is the glory of all our crew members." Then she solemnly held the statuette with both hands, and handed it to Yu who looked at her eagerly. Kimiko: "Senior, you should feel it too."

Oscar's red carpet show is the focus of the entertainment circle every year, and the dresses of female stars are the fashion vane of the year.On the second day, major media reported on this in great detail. As the heroine of this year's Oscar for the best foreign language film, Jin Eunhe, who appeared in an impressive silver fringed embroidered dress, received high praise from the fashion industry.When newspapers, fashion magazines, and public forums commented on the best-dressed Oscars red carpet show this year, together with Anne Hathaway and Angelina Jolie, they became one of the three female stars that could not be bypassed.

"New York Times" fashion comment columnist Cathy Horvn: [This year's Oscars broke the black curse, except for Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Gray and several other actresses who wore black dresses, most of them showed people in light-colored dresses.Like Anne Hathaway's white sequined off-the-shoulder dress, the best foreign film actress Jin Enhe's silver fringed suspender dress, Sarah Jessica Parker's Dior lily-colored low-cut dress... light colors have become the main color of this red carpet . 】【The white, silver, cream, ivory and other light-colored satin dresses displayed on this year's Oscar red carpet will lead the new fashion of red carpet dresses in the future. 】

When specifically commenting on her favorite look, Jin Eunhe's evaluation is [fine tailoring outlines her tall and sexy curves that are very rare among Asians.The use of crystal-studded tassels and luxurious embroidery shadow patterns at the same time can easily become cumbersome and vulgar, but the soft and close-fitting texture like running water and the simple and smooth skirt design subtly reflect the lightness and elegance of these two elements.The sling made of silver ribbon matches the style of the whole dress very well. If it is too thin, it will lose balance with the complicated and gorgeous dress; if it is too thick, it will look clumsy.The chest-length and shoulder-length design highlights her slender arms without a trace of fat and the round shoulder lines, which very well reflects the advantages of the Asian figure.The fresh and natural nude makeup paired with simple and elegant hair, perfectly matched her delicate features.Oh yes, a big compliment has to be given to this stunning lady, who is so wise in not wearing too much jewelry!Honestly, the crystals in this gown are so sparkly that any extra embellishment will just make the wearer look like a moving jewelry rack.Ms. Jin only used simple diamond pins to fix her hair, and slightly embellished diamond earrings. It was really a very confident choice, not at all like a freshman on the Oscars red carpet for the first time. 】

The old magazine "VOGUE", which has always been at the core of fashion trends, has always had a vicious and sharp vision, but this time it is very tolerant of Jin Enhe: [Classic Elie Saab dress, silk satin, silver tassels, fine embroidery.Although this kind of ubiquitous luxury and elegance and exquisite elegance from head to toe is the eternal yearning of women, they are extremely picky about the person who wears it.It seems that Sabo was very lucky to find his East Asian muse. 】

The British "Times", which has never been used to American publicity: "[The calm and reserved smile distinguishes it from all the grinning Hollywood actresses. The youngest Berlin actress is calm and looks restrained and elegant.]

France "ELLE": 【The temperament is mysterious, like an elf princess. 】

……

The evaluation of the film "The Undertaker" is mixed, but generally positive.Mike Scott praised [the scene of the encoffining ceremony is heartbreakingly beautiful] in the "Tibetan Times". James Adams of "The Globe and Mail" commented [with a calm, hypnotic and elegant solemn ceremony]. Paul Burns, Sydney Morning Herald [Bringing dignity to the dead, respecting the dead and comforting those who grieve].

"The Times" continued to maintain a contemptuous attitude towards Oscar, and Kyle Maher commented ["The Undertaker" is a comedy that makes people choke up so hard to express their emotions, but there are so many tears that it makes people feel Tired, but thankfully the film is saved by great performances from the actors, "gracious" direction and a "dreamy" score. 】

……

Compared with the objectivity of the European and American media, the Japanese reports are naturally one-sided praise.Before the awards, "The Undertaker" was generally not favored, even the Japanese themselves admitted this.So this upset is even more precious, not to mention that this is the first time a Japanese film has won an award since the Best Foreign Language Film changed from an honorary award to an official award.As soon as the news came out, the stock of Shochiku Pictures, which released the film, skyrocketed, and "The Undertaker", which had already been released in most theaters, was released for the second time.Many Japanese who hadn't seen it before also entered the theater with interest because of the Oscar award, and the box office, which had already reached 39 billion yen, rose rapidly.In addition, "The Undertaker" is valued by many filmmakers and will be released in the United States in May this year. At the same time, nearly 5 countries are considering introducing it.

All kinds of good news made director Takita, Motoki Masahiro and producer Toshiaki Nakazawa feel good.As soon as the crew returned to China, they held a press conference to thank all the people for their love.Jin Enhe maintained a low-key and humble attitude throughout the whole process, but won the favor of most Japanese people.Thanks to the blessing of the Oscars that made all Japanese people feel honored, Jin Eunhe also made an unprecedented selection in the "Japanese Artist Power List" of "Nikkei Entertainment" released in April, also known as the "Enclosure List". broke into the top ten actresses, the first time among foreign artists.

The reason why this list is called the "Enclosure List" is because "Nikkei Entertainment" conducts 4 surveys every year on the artist's "awareness (name and appearance)" and "care" and collects the results. ranking.And a detailed map of Japan will be announced, marking the degree of awareness and concern of each artist in each region, a veritable "enclosure".It is a very authoritative and reliable list, and it really uses data to intuitively show what popularity and nationality are.

The limited group that has entered the recording stage was put on the agenda by Amuse, hoping to catch up with the aftermath of the Oscar award and make good results.However, Ai Hui still insisted on re-release in April, because TVXQ will release a full-length album in March, and the coincidence of schedules will affect the results of the two albums.

It cannot be launched in advance in Japan, and it will not be affected in South Korea.Regardless of what Ai Hui thinks, anyway, Park Jin Young has decided to release the first single of the limited group in early March, and will have a two-week playing session in South Korea.Jin Eunhe's status is not suitable for competing with other singers, so the playing time must not be prolonged.Besides, Zheng Yunhao can't spare so much time to spend on limited combinations.

So Jin Eunhe followed the crew of "The Undertaker" to attend the celebration banquet in Japan and rushed back to Korea.

In South Korea, what awaited her was a grand welcome.

The author has something to say: By the way, is there a rule in the Nikkei enclosure list that it is only limited to Japanese artists?Anyway, I didn't find it, so let's allow non-Japanese artists to be on the list.Can someone explain?
