rising director

Crash, applause, Jack Black, who voiced Po, and Tom Kenny, who voiced "SpongeBob SquarePants", came to the stage to host tonight's Annie Awards Ceremony together.

"Jack, can you kung fu?" Tom asked.

"Of course, I'm Kung Fu Panda!" Jack played his three-legged cat Kung Fu.

Then the two amateur hosts killed the time with gags and made everyone laugh.That's when the first award, Best Visual Effects for Animation, begins.

"Um, the one with the best animation visual effects is... from "Kung Fu Panda"!" Jack happily read out the name, "Kung Fu Panda" visual effects director Li Ming, a mixed-race Chinese animation engineer. Most of the main creators of "Kung Fu Panda" are Chinese or ethnic Chinese.

"hnk-lure (thank you), hnk-lure, hnk-lure-very-much (thank you very much), Jack, Tom. Very happy to receive this award, the best recognition for my work, I can laugh I walked home and told my wife and children, look, Dad won the award. Thank you Director Wan Xiaohu, you are the best, thank you!"

"This is what you deserve, Li Ming."

With the opening of the Best Animation Visual Effects Award, the road to the award presentation of "Kung Fu Panda" can no longer be stopped.

"Best Animated Character Design goes to..., from Kung Fu Panda!"

"The winner of the best art direction is... Tang Heng from "Kung Fu Panda"!"

"The winner of the best voice acting is... Dustin Hoffman from "Kung Fu Panda", he voiced Master Raccoon!"

"Best Animated Short Film goes to..."Kung Fu Panda: The Family of Noodles"!"

Crash, applause.

Wan Xiaohu strode onto the stage, smiling brightly: "Hey, Jack, am I getting the best cartoon?"

Jack Black flattened his mouth: "Slightly shorter than the best cartoon."

"Wow, I don't like things that are too short." Wan Xiaohu shook the cylindrical trophy on the podium, "Haha, thank you to the judges of the Annie Award, the award vote went to "Kung Fu Panda: The Noodle Family" ", and thank you to all the main creators, you deserve to reap the hard work day and night! Thank you!"

It's just the best animated short film, Wan Xiaohu casually said a few words.

"Best character animation goes to..., from Kung Fu Panda!"

"The winner of the best screenplay is...Wan Xiaohu, from "Kung Fu Panda"!"

Crash, applause rang out again.

Wan Xiaohu took to the stage for the second time.

This time, he said grandly: "I'm very happy to win the Best Screenplay Award. Hollywood screenwriters have recently gone on strike. Screenwriting is very important to a movie or TV series. I hope this time it can be resolved satisfactorily. Thank you!"

With a wave of his hand, Wan Xiaohu stepped down.

But before his ass fell, the host announced a new award.

"Hmm, the winner of the Best Animated Feature Film Director is...Wan Xiaohu, from "Kung Fu Panda"!"

"Congratulations, ger, you are the youngest person in this record. The 27-year-old Annie Award for Best Director, you have written yourself into the history of the Annie Award!" Jack and Tom flattered Wan Xiaohu together .

"Haha, thank you." Wan Xiaohu was happy, "I hope I can come up again at the last moment of tonight. I have a lot to say. There is obviously not enough time to receive the award once."

"Don't worry, ger, you can talk here for half an hour, and we will continue to present awards next to you. This is not an Oscar, and no one is playing music to urge you to go down."

"Okay, then I'll say it."

Wan Xiaohu cleared his throat, took out a piece of paper full of words from his pocket, and shook: "I came prepared... Are you ready? I want to say the best speech... It was 2002 In [-], I started to conceive "Kung Fu Panda"..."

"Oh..." The reporters in the audience and other animation creators wailed immediately.It seems that Wan Xiaohu is really planning to make a long speech, and if you really want to make a long speech, your impromptu speech is fine, so what's the point of taking out a piece of paper?

Wan Xiaohu ignored the boos from the audience, and continued to read: "It was 2002, and I started to conceive "Kung Fu Panda". Then, today in 2008. I won the best director, which is really great, thank you Jack! Give me half an hour, but after I finish speaking, there is still plenty of time, so as not to waste it. Why don't you make up for it with 10 minutes of applause?"

Crash, thunderous applause.

It's not about making up 10 minutes, but thankful for Wan Xiaohu's speech, it ended in less than 1 minute.

You know, what a wonderful speech.For those who are looking forward to whether they can win awards in the future, it is lengthy.The shorter the testimonial, the more satisfied they are.

Wan Xiaohu, who walked off the stage with applause, sat down satisfied and watched other people's performance in peace.The Annie Award is a comprehensive award, not only for film selection, but also for TV selection. "Kung Fu Panda" has won 10 out of 9 film awards, as well as animated short films, and now we are waiting for the best animated film that has a clear form up.

Time passed little by little, and finally, the one and a half hour awards ceremony came to an end.

"Jack, are you excited?" Tom asked in SpongeBob's voice.

"After hosting for so long, I'm a little hungry." Jack answered irrelevant questions in Ah Bao's voice, and then teased Dustin Hoffman in the audience, "Master, can we go home now, I want to eat buns? "

Wulitou laughed for a while, and then entered the main drama.

"The nominees for Best Animated Feature Film at the 35th Annie Awards are...Ratatouille, Pixar Animation Studios...Bee, DreamWorks Animation...I Grow Up in Iran, Sony Classics... "The Simpsons," Twentieth Century Fox... "Kung Fu Panda," Po Animation Studios."

"Best Animated Feature..."Kung Fu Panda"! Congratulations to Po Animation Studio!"

Holding the Annie Award trophy in his hand, Wan Xiaohu smiled brightly.

"Just like other human endeavors, making an animated film can be seen as a transforming experience. All previous Critics Awards, Satellite Awards and Golden Globe Awards, have given best animation to "Kung Fu Panda" This is a very wonderful thing, because of your actions, let others feel your sincerity. I am very happy to be able to bring you the sincerity from the country through such a cartoon. Our country has kung fu, but we love peace , Our state-owned giant panda, it witnesses our friendship. Thank you to my family, your support makes me forge ahead. Thank you to all the staff of the crew, this is the result of our joint efforts, thank you for the Annie Award, I need this award to affirm myself! thanks everyone!"

After finishing speaking, the ugly trophy of Wan Xiaohu Award was held up high. Reporters from all over the world hurriedly picked up their cameras, flashing their lights continuously.The brain is constantly thinking about the title of tomorrow's news.

In fact there is nothing to write home about.

From the very beginning, everyone can predict that the best cartoon this year is none other than "Kung Fu Panda".

""Kung Fu Panda" swept the 35th Animation Annie Awards!"

"The movie awards are not missed, and the "Kung Fu Panda" Annie Award is domineering!"

"Yesterday, "Kung Fu Panda", featuring Chinese elements, won all 11 film-related awards at the Annie Awards, which is known as the animation Oscar, and achieved the Grand Slam of the Annie Awards for the first time! National director, four times Stand on the podium and be proud of the crowd!"

"Win the Annie Award and aim for the Oscars. "Kung Fu Panda" has a bright and bright road to the Olympics."

The Annie Award is well-known in the industry, but its reputation in the world is still not good enough, and it did not attract much attention. After accepting the Annie Award, Wan Xiaohu once again supervised the post-production of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".I originally thought that I could work quietly for a period of time.Waiting for the arrival of Oscar.

But things backfired.

On February 2008, 2, he received a call from the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles. Liu Qi, chairman of the Beijing Olympic Committee, had something to do with him through the consulate.

It happened suddenly.

Because just yesterday, Hollywood director Steven Spielberg, the art consultant for the Beijing Olympic Games, issued a statement to the outside world. It is this statement, coupled with Spielberg's influence as an international director.The Beijing Olympic Games has come to the fore.
