Chapter 1002: Touching Dreams
To a certain extent, this is also not to die, Wall Street's financial game is played happily, once there is danger, but investors all over the United States and even around the world have to buy it, and in the end, how many families go bankrupt, and even how many people jump off buildings, who can calculate.
In the face of financial drugs, Ronan still adopts a cautious and conservative strategy, and with his current development trend, there is no need to take unnecessary risks.
Relativity Entertainment has abundant funds, reasonable and controllable debts, and the economic crisis is also a good opportunity to expand its power.
Ronan has some impression that since the beginning of the economic crisis, major Hollywood companies have shrunk their investments, and almost without exception have encountered a shortage of money.
But with the advantage of foresight, Relativity Entertainment and Taiping Investment Foundation are constantly accumulating huge resources.
The Oscars kicked off with music, and Ronan stopped thinking about it anymore and threw himself into this Hollywood super show for the world.
The host of this edition is Alan DeGeneres.
Although she tried her best to solve the problem, this year's Oscar films are really lacking in highlights, and with the Oscars' decades-long model, the overall atmosphere is still not much better.
And there are too many links to pay tribute to the older generation, and before any awards have been awarded, they start to miss first.
This seems to have set the tone of this year's awards ceremony.
The first award was Best Supporting Actress, and black actor Jennifer Hudson took the little golden man with her performance in "Dream Girl".
Looking at Jennifer Hudson's swarthy skin, Tom Cruise frowned slightly, as if thinking of his biggest rival, Forrester Whitaker.
The awards were presented one by one, and the atmosphere was always average.
This seems to be destined to be an exceptionally long awards ceremony, not only because most of the major awards lack enough fierce competition, there is no suspense in advance, there are no surprises in the event, and there is also a tribute link that appears in the interval to make the award ceremony seem dull.
In the past few years, both the academy and the Oscars have been making changes to younger people, and who knows that this class has gone back.
It is no exaggeration to say that the results of the previous sessions have made this session dissipate without a trace.
Originally, Netflix wanted to do product placement for Netflix Share at this Oscars, and the advertising plan was proposed by Ronan, allowing the host to take photos centered on Tom Cruise in a certain environment, holding an Android smartphone, and then posting it on Netflix Share on the spot.
However, the academy and this year's Oscar program team rejected the Netflix network on the grounds that it did not conform to tradition.
No way, those old men are too slow to accept new things, and Oscar doesn't pay attention to new media.
In the end, it was no surprise that the talks between the two sides collapsed.
The twilight awards ceremony makes people drowsy, and it is estimated that the actresses who wear tight evening dresses and can't even go to the toilet will become even more difficult for more than three hours.
The many technical awards are especially long, and this year's lack of super dominant films, "The Departed" has not been nominated for too many technical awards, which has led to the technical awards becoming a complete share of the cake.
"Babel" won the best soundtrack, "Pan's Labyrinth" won the best makeup, "Letter from Iwo Jima" won the best sound editing, "Dream Girl" won the best sound effects, and "The City Full of Golden Armor" won the best costume design......
It's rare for a film to win two awards in the small technical genre.
Probably none of these films have an absolute advantage at all, a crew distributes a little golden man, and everyone has a lively festival together tonight.
The two crews of Relativity Entertainment sat still until the award for the best adapted screenplay arrived.
"The Departed" won the first Golden Man tonight, Best Adapted Screenplay!
Watching the screenwriter William Mohanna, who was hired by Relativity Entertainment, take the stage to accept the award, Andrew Liu, who also came to the awards ceremony, was a little uncomfortable.
But he also knows very well that the Oscars are a big show in Hollywood after all, and outsiders will always be supporting roles.
In this regard, he can see more clearly than Director Zhang, who is sitting not far away.
The Oscar plot is sometimes really peculiar, and it may even affect the director's life.
The best original screenplay in the back was won by "Little Sunshine Beauty", counting the Best Supporting Actor won by Aaron King before, this independent film with a small investment and big output won two Oscars.
However, tonight's Oscar journey for "Little Sunshine Beauty" is also over, and the remaining Best Picture and Best Director want to win, and the possibility is infinitely low.
"Let's look at the Oscar nominations for Best Animated Feature. ”
On the stage, Mark Wahlberg, who was the guest of honor, looked at the big screen: "The Incredibles, Pixar Studios, Happy Feet, Warner Bros. Animation Studios, Monster House, Sony Entertainment Animation Studios, ......"
The result was not a surprise to anyone: "The winner is Pixar Studios' The Incredibles." ”
Relativity Entertainment was cheering, Brad Bird hugged Tom Cruise first, then high-fived Ronan, strode onto the stage, and received the golden trophy.
"Thank you Academy! Thank you Relativity Entertainment!" Brad Bird said very quickly: "I would especially like to thank the hundreds of colleagues I worked with, the wonderful cast and crew, the great artists, the computer whizs, the passionate studios, the people who dubbed the film and brought it to the cinema." On their behalf, I thank the Academy of Film, thank you!"
Brad Bird quickly left the stage and went to the back.
The fans of Pixar Studios will also receive many best animated feature films in the future.
The best editing in the back was taken away by the crew of "The Departed", and when Martin Scorsese applauded, he laughed brilliantly.
The two awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing are in hand, and the best director and best picture of "The Departed" are basically stable, not to mention 100%.
The award ceremony entered the final stage, and the guests and spectators who were struggling in the dull atmosphere on the scene, and the people waiting in front of the TV, for the last half hour.
The long wait will slow down the pace of time, and the more urgent the desire for the result, the more unbearable the waiting process will be, for most people, all the "gold content" of the 79th Academy Awards is hidden in the last 30 minutes.
On the surface, they are concerned about whether Martin Scorsese can win the Oscar for Best Director as he wishes, and whether Tom Cruise can break through the Oscar for acting zero?
This is almost the little suspense that this Oscars can provide.
In fact, what they really want to know is whether Martin Scorsese and Tom Cruise, two people who have been snubbed by the Oscars, who are already at the pinnacle of the director and actor industry, will continue to be their uncrowned kings or become legends on this night.
They willingly waited for nearly 4 hours for the answer to this mystery.
Both Martin Scorsese and Tom Cruise have waited more than twenty years for this mystery.
In the past, the academy's snub of Martin Scorsese and Tom Cruise was almost in the face.
But in this year's Oscars, in the face of many films that are not even competitors, what choice will the nearly 6,000 members of the academy make?
Martin Scorsese's side is okay, but Tom Cruise's side, if there is really a strong competitor, the outcome is absolutely unknown.
Last year's Best Actress winner, Reese Witherspoon, strode onto the stage.
"Last year, we saw too many great characters on screen, we saw too many great performances. ”
I don't know which screenwriter wrote this string of words, and many people under the stage were embarrassed to hear it, but Reese Witherspoon was not affected in any way: "Among them, the most outstanding are undoubtedly these five actors......"
The big screen played the list of nominees: "Leonardo DiCaprio, "Blood Diamond", Tom Cruise, "The Departed", "Forrester Whitaker", "The Last Dictator", Ryan Gosling, "Half a Nelson", Brad Pitt, "Babel"!"
This list of nominees undoubtedly highlights a major feature of this year's Oscar Best Actor selection, and no one is a recognized acting school in the circle.
The winners are all compared!
Whether you can win the award or not depends not only on yourself, but also on your competitors.
So, Reese Witherspoon opened the envelope and read out a name that met most people's expectations: "Best Actor winner is Tom Cruise, "The Departed"!"
The applause first rang out on the side of the crew of "The Departed".
Tom Cruise opened his mouth, as if in disbelief, as if he was stunned.
Someone like Ronan who is familiar with Tom Cruise can naturally see that this is purely acting, about three points of excitement and seven points of acting.
Ronan hugged Tom Cruise, who whispered in his ear, "I found that I wasn't as excited as I expected. ”
"Let's get the prize!" Ronan nudged him, "Go ahead." ”
Tom Cruise high-fived several members of the crew one by one, and went onto the stage at trotting speed, as if he couldn't wait.
Taking the golden man, Tom Cruise stood in front of the microphone and said loudly: "Thank you, thank you Academy, thank you to everyone in the crew......!"
He suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed to the place where Ronan was: "I also want to thank someone, he is there! Ronan, you are not only my friend and brother, but also the light that illuminates the path of my life! You have helped me so much, I can't thank them all, but I will always remember it!"
Then, Tom Cruise held up the little golden man: "I've always believed in my dreams, I've put my heart and soul into them, and now I've finally touched them!"
Applause erupted as Tom Cruise retreated backstage.
Against the backdrop of a less powerful competitor, the superstar finally won an Oscar for acting.
