Chapter 692: Winning Awards (12,000 per day, ask for subscription~)

Billy Crystal may not be well-known in China, but his reputation in North America is very great.

Film, television, host, producer, director can be said to be an all-round figure.

Before hosting the 63rd Academy Awards, Billy Crystal also hosted the 29th Grammy Awards in 1987, and since then has hosted three consecutive Grammy Awards, and the last Academy Awards were also hosted by Billy Crystal.

After Billy Crystal took the stage, he used his unique opening remarks to directly set off the atmosphere of the scene.

Wu Jianye sat below and applauded him.

In fact, award ceremonies all over the world are similar, the host's humorous opening remarks, gorgeous performances, the only difference is the difference in the people who attend the award ceremony.

Wu Jianye, who has participated in countless award ceremonies, is no longer interested in these things at this time, and he himself is very uninterested in American humor.

However, there is still a highlight of this Oscars, that is, Michael Jackson and Madonna, the two kings and queens of the music world, were invited.

Michael Jackson wore a white suit, and Madonna wore a white bandeau gown, and the two sat in the first row.

Although in the entertainment industry, the general value is that movie stars should be above singers, there will definitely be exceptions to everything, and Michael Jackson and Madonna are such exceptions.

The global popularity of the two is so high that they can no longer be simply classified as singers, they are now a cultural phenomenon.

The opening song and dance of this Oscars was performed by Michael Jackson!

ABC's TV camera will often sweep on the two of them, which shows how popular the two are.

Wu Jianye sat there, like an ordinary audience watching a performance, everyone applauded, he applauded, everyone cheered and he cheered, anyway, it was the same as everyone.

As with other award ceremonies, the first award is never the most important, and Alec Baldwin, the male protagonist of "The Hunt for Red October", and his girlfriend, Kim Basinger, who became the cover model of "Playboy" at the age of 17, took the stage to present the first award of this Oscar.

Best Original Soundtrack!

Speaking of the Academy Awards in this period, in Wu Jianye's opinion, there is really no way to compare with later generations, there is only a small table on the stage, and there is a microphone on it, and the two award presenters have to grab a microphone when they go up.......

Kevin Costner's film "Dances with Wolves", which was directed for the first time, got off to a good start, winning the first grand prize at the 63rd Academy Awards.

Wu Jianye comforted Maurice Yar, who was in the same crew, this award, "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" was also shortlisted, but unfortunately everything now is no different from Wu Jianye's memory, Maurice Yar still lost to John Barry!

The awards ceremony continued, the host and the award presenters took turns, and the Oscars were awarded one after another.

At the same time, in order to show attention to the most important award of Best Picture, there will be guests on stage to introduce the five films shortlisted for Best Picture this time!

They are "Ghost Love", "Awakening", "The Godfather 3", "Good Guys", and "Dances with Wolves"!

Jeff Bridges, the bald villain in "Iron Man 1", introduced the first shortlisted film "The Godfather 3" to be shortlisted for Best Picture this time!

Wu Jianye sat in the audience, not paying attention to what Jeff Bridges was saying, but thinking that the acting life of an American actor is really long, Jeff Bridges is in his early 40s at this time, and he will be 59 years old when he participates in "Iron Man", but the old and beautiful actor just has a different feeling, the older he gets, the more demonic!

Marvel movies have always liked this, starring with some unknown actors, and supporting roles, especially villains, like famous and acting skills very much, which should also be related to production costs.

Just when Wu Jianye was thinking wildly, Whoopi Goldberg next to him quietly left his seat, this time Whoopi Goldberg was not only shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actress award, but also the award presenter for Best Sound Editing!

Joining her in the award was Andy Garcia, the villain in the later "11 Oceans".

The two appeared on the stage, one serious and the other funny, and the contrast formed made the audience laugh.

The winner for Best Sound is still "Dances with Wolves", which has now won two consecutive awards, winning two consecutive nominations, and the camera is also focusing its camera on the crew of "Dances with Wolves" in real time.

You can clearly see the smile on Kevin Costner's face on the big screen, and the first film he directed was a success, so he was naturally very happy!

After the award for best sound was awarded, Whoopi Goldberg returned to his seat, and Wu Jianye only said hello to her.

Next up is the first major award of this Oscars!

Best Director Award!

Handsome Tom Cruise took the stage as the guest of honor!

The crew of "Ghost Love" and the crew of "Dances with Wolves" are not far apart, and Wu Jianye can clearly see Kevin Costner with a nervous look on his face.

As the behind-the-scenes boss of the Phantom, Wu Jianye naturally knows how much public relations fees Costner paid for this award, after all, half of it was paid by Phantom Pictures.

In fact, it will not be easy for Costner to win this award, let's see who his opponents are!

Francesco Pola of "The Godfather 3", one of the most well-known directors of Hollywood in the sixties and seventies, Martin Scorsese of "Goodfellas", the uncrowned king of the Oscars.

The other two directors are also masters, Stephen Fryers of "A Thousand Nets" and Iranian director Babette Schroeder of "Reversal of Fate".

Although the two did not win many Oscars, they were also award-winning professionals at the European Film Festival!

So, Kevin Costner's nervousness is not unreasonable!

However, according to Wu Jianye's opinion, there are actually few of his real opponents, although these few are famous, but they are all forced to pay for public relations, Kevin Costner spends money, that is really called spending money like running water!

Sure enough, under the effect of the banknote ability, Costner heard his name in Tom Cruise's mouth, and jumped up excitedly!

After hugging the members of the same crew, when Costner walked down the aisle, Wu Jianye also stood up and hugged Kostner.

"Congratulations, this is well deserved!" Wu Jianye smiled and patted Costner on the back and watched Costner walk onto the stage.

Isabel Adjani, who was next to her, looked at Costner who walked on the stage and smiled and whispered to Wu Jianye: "How is it, envy?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "What is there to envy, if you really want it, you won't be the same as you!"

Isabel Adjani also smiled after listening to it.

Whether it is Wu Jianye or Isabelle Adjani, neither the public relations fee is paid, Wu Jianye knows that according to the Oscars, it is impossible to award the best picture to herself, and Isabelle Adjani doesn't care about this.

Although the two are no longer in that kind of relationship, they are still good friends, so there is nothing embarrassing to communicate.

When Costner came down from the stage with the little figurine, everyone once again contributed their applause.

Then came the presentation of the Science and Technology Awards and the performance of the children's choir, but when the presenters of the Best Actress came to the stage, many people still looked in the direction of Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani.

No way, the guest of honor for this award is none other than Isabel Adjani's ex-boyfriend Daniel Lewis!

The grievances between Wu Jianye, Isabelle Adjani, and Daniel Lewis are naturally known to everyone, and it is precisely because of this that many people who have no chance with this award are thinking that if Isabelle Adjani wins this award and receives the trophy in the hands of Daniel Lewis, it will definitely be very interesting!

In fact, when Daniel Lewis came to power, he saw Wu Jianye whispering with Isabel Adjani, but more than a year has passed since this incident, and the anger in his heart is not so great.

However, now Daniel Lewis doesn't dare to wrestle with Wu Jianye, the success of "Human and Ghost Love" may not make him feel any fear of Wu Jianye, but now everyone knows the strength of the phantom, especially the grievance with CAA some time ago, it took less than a week to make the once glorious and invincible CAA a a historical term.

Wu Jianye's intimate cooperation with the Phantom is a well-known thing in the whole of Hollywood, even Daniel Lewis knows that if he offends the Phantom, he may really be finished!

So on the stage, it looks very decent, but the winner is still not Isabel Adjani, but Kathy Bates of "Ten Days of Danger"!

In fact, these awards will not bring too many benefits to some actors, but not everyone can resist the glory of this thing.

Although Casey Bates won the award for Best Actress, she did not become a popular actress or an actress with a high salary due to her own image problems in subsequent films, and still participated in the movie as a supporting role.

Casey Bates also played Sandra Bullock as a supporting role in "Weakness"!

Wu Jianye's first and only award to be nominated for has finally arrived, the Best Original Screenplay Award!

The award was presented to the actor and heroine in "The Silence of the Lambs" released this year, Judy Fords and Anthony Hopkins, who won the Academy Awards for Best Actor next year with just more than 20 minutes of performance in the play!

The two presented the award on stage, in fact, they also had the taste of promoting "The Silence of the Lambs", in fact, this is already an unspoken rule of the Oscars, and most of the award presenters actually have the task of promoting their own movies.

"Anthony, when I see you, I think of your performance in the movie before, and I shudder to think of that scene now!" said Judy Fords with a smile.

Anthony Hopkins is funny, making a sound that is in the movies, and through the microphone, it really makes people shudder!

The image of Hannibal is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

After the two finished promoting "The Silence of the Lambs", they got to the point.

"Anthony, which of the six screenwriters shortlisted this time are you most optimistic about?" asked Judy Fords with a smile.

This is actually a matter of offending people, but the two must have faced the script behind the scenes, so there is no suspicion that Judy Fortis deliberately dug a hole for Anthony Hopkins.

It can only be said that both of them are more daring!

Anthony Hopkins said with a smile: "If you want to talk about these six screenwriters, what I admire the most is director Wu Jianye, in Hollywood for so many years, it is the first time I have seen such a talented director and screenwriter, look at the movie scripts he wrote, no matter which one has caused a huge sensation in North America!"

The camera also immediately cut to Wu Jianye, who was looking at the topic of the two on stage with a smile on his face.

"Wow, aren't you afraid of offending people when you say that?" said Judy Fords, exaggeratedly.

Anthony Hopkins smiled and said: "Why, you haven't heard me praise several other screenwriters, in my opinion, ......."

Then came the compliments to the other screenwriters.

As the two of them finished their speeches, clips from the five films began to play on the big screen.

Isabel Adjani asked in a whisper, "How's it going, nervous?"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "There is an old saying in our Huaxia, it is called "I am lucky if I get my life, I am lucky, it doesn't matter if I get this award or not, the box office of the movie has already explained a lot of problems!"

Isabel Adjani said dissatisfiedly: "I'm just the most dissatisfied with you, obviously your talent can make more outstanding movies, but you have to consider so many commercial factors!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Art can't fill my stomach!"

"You won't be able to eat enough!" said Isabel Adjani, dissatisfied.

At this time, there was a sudden burst of warm applause in the hall, and Wu Jianye also saw Bruce Robin sitting not far from him standing up excitedly!

Won the award yourself?

Wu Jianye was also slightly stunned.

There are a total of two screenwriters of "Ghost Love", and when applying for the Oscars, Wu Jianye asked Linda to add the name of Bruce Robin, although he only provided a story, and the real screenwriting content was written by Wu Jianye.

But Wu Jianye knew that if he hadn't cut off his beard, this honor would have been won by Bruce Robin himself!

Wu Jianye stood up with a smile on his face.

But even so, in the eyes of everyone, Wu Jianye also doesn't pay much attention to this award.

But that doesn't matter anymore, at this time, many people have already stood up and hugged Wu Jianye, as for Bruce Robin's hug, there are a lot less.

Wu Jianye sat in the aisle, so after hugging everyone, he stood up, and after Bruce Robin walked out inside, the two walked hand in hand to the stage.

When he walked to the first row, Michael Jackson stood up with an excited smile, directly grabbed Wu Jianye, who was about to go on stage, hugged and congratulated: "I knew you would definitely win the award!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said to Michael Jackson: "Thank you, let's talk again after the award ceremony!"

The relationship between the two naturally doesn't need to be too polite.

At this time, Madonna next to Michael Jackson also stood up and hugged Wu Jianye to congratulate.

Wu Jianye felt the waves of Madonna and expressed his gratitude, but poor Bruce Robin on the side could only stand there quietly and wait for Wu Jianye.

After thanking the two, Wu Jianye and Bruce Robin walked on the stage together!
