Chapter 1019: Thirty Years of Waiting
Donn's award won a full house.
is not only a tribute to the filmmaker who changed the landscape of Hollywood, but also a tribute to his earth-shattering film talent.
became a director for the first time in his life and made a masterpiece "Titanic", which grossed more than $1.8 billion worldwide!
became an actor for the first time in his life, and the result was ...... In the Megatron Awards season, first win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, and then win the Oscar!
There are really too many cinematic geniuses in Hollywood history, such as Orson Welles.
When he was 26 years old, he made the classic film "Citizen Kane".
Then in the second half of his decades, he failed to make a decent movie.
Many times, industry insiders refer to it as "talent".
"Citizen Kane" should not have been made by Orson Welles, it should have been God borrowing Orson Welles's hand to make such a great movie.
When Tang En first debuted, many people in the industry also had this idea for a while.
After all, Donn has taken a different path to Hollywood.
Even the DreamWorks Big Three failed to rewrite the Hollywood landscape, which he did as a young man.
It's incredible.
Unexpectedly, that was just the beginning!
From DownPictures to Universal Pictures, from Marvel Studios to Pixar Studios, from Stars to Discovery Channel, from IMAX to Dolby Laboratories, from Blizzard to Prada, from entertainment to fashion......
He can do almost anything!
Now, he even got the Oscar!
This is only his first time acting!
In this world, what else can stump Done?
The thunderous applause in the Kodak Theater was mixed with many indescribable thoughts.
When the new global group goes public next year, there will be no one or any force that can restrict the pace of his growth and expansion!
Don clearly felt the throbbing in everyone's shock.
He was pleased with the results.
In many cases, a strong self-ability represents external fear and deterrence.
After receiving the award, I came backstage and there was another round of applause.
In addition to the backstage staff, there were three award presenters – Steven Spielberg, Francis Coppola and George Lucas.
The award after Best Actor will be Best Director!
"Congratulations!"
"Don, you're always full of surprises!"
"Don't forget, you have my vote in your trophy!"
……
The three of them are old friends, and they are not polite to see Don.
Don was in a good mood, and laughed and joked a few jokes with the three of them.
There was still time to run the field, and the three guests were not in a hurry, so they simply pulled Tang Enchang to chat.
Spielberg, in particular, said with emotion: "I knew this was the case, and I was going to pull you into my movie when I said anything." ”
"Your movie, War of the Worlds," Donn thought a little funny, "forget about commercial films, if it was a film like Schindler's List, maybe I would have been a little interested in it at the beginning." ”
Ten years ago, Spielberg was Hollywood's undisputed box office king!
In the literary film market, he is the best director at the Oscars. In the commercial film market, he has always been the holder of the box office champion record in film history.
Until the appearance of Donne, this pattern was completely broken.
Not to mention the movies such as "Titanic", "Star Wars Prequel 1", and "Spider-Man" directed by Donn himself, the films "Unsinkable", "Spider-Man 2", "Pirate League 2" and other films supervised by him as a producer have also exceeded $1 billion at the global box office!
In just a few years, he has helped James Cameron, Ridley Scott, Gore Wibinski, and Sam Raimi complete the box office myth of $1 billion for a single film.
Spielberg was not convinced!
He doesn't want to throw in the towel!
He wants to prove to Hollywood and the world that he is still the best director in Hollywood! He still has unparalleled appeal in the commercial film market!
This time, Spielberg made up his mind.
He wants to invest $150 million at any cost to shoot a super blockbuster, so that he can also cross the threshold of $1 billion at the box office!
Even the breakup of DreamWorks has this part of the factor.
Jeffrey Katzenberg is not optimistic about Spielberg's all-or-nothing gamble.
However, he couldn't take it anymore.
He had to do it.
To this end, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to bring in action superstar Tom Cruise, and also invited the cinematographer of "Schindler's List", the action director of "Saving Private Ryan", and the visual effects artist of "......
He wants to join forces to create a commercial blockbuster that can dominate the global box office!
The film will be released on June 29 this year.
However, market research shows that fans' expectations for this movie are generally not high. In this year's summer blockbuster, the expectation is only ranked 7th, behind "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith", "Iron Man", "The Da Vinci Code", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and the two animated films "Madagascar" and "Kung Fu Panda" by DreamWorks and Pixar.
The market expectation is not high, partly because Spielberg's career has not been going well in recent years, and on the other hand, because of Tom Cruise.
Like many action superstars, Tom Cruise has lost the magic of the box office market in the 90s after the arrival of the new century.
Especially his cooperation with Sony Pictures, he has made several bad movies in a row, which has led to a serious decline in his personal image and personal reputation.
Even "Mission Impossible 3", which has been in preparation, has encountered a great crisis.
Media tycoon Lei Shidong spoke directly, asking Paramount to refuse to cooperate with Tom Cruise again!
Of course, this is likely to be Paramount's way to squeeze Tom Cruise's salary. After all, apart from the "Mission Impossible" series, the current Paramount can't come up with any decent projects.
To be honest, Spielberg now regrets it a little.
Even if I had asked Tom Hanks to work with him.
Look at "The Da Vinci Code" starring Tom Hanks, book fans and movie fans have even organized several unions, and when the time comes, they will charter the film and collectively contribute to the box office.
For Spielberg's complaints, let alone Donn, even Francis Coppola and George Lucas felt quite powerless.
George Lucas even secretly said to Donn: "I bet that if "War of the Worlds" does not achieve the desired effect, he may not be obsessed with the commercial film market in the future." ”
Don nodded, convinced.
……
When Donn returned to the front, he happened to see the three heavyweight award presenters on stage.
In fact, when Coppola, Lucas and Spielberg appeared at the same time, experienced industry insiders had already guessed the results.
Of the four major directors of the 80s, only one Martin Scorsese is missing!
Undoubtedly, the next time will be for Old Martin!
Martin Scorsese got up slowly, and at this moment, he seemed to be telling the world that he was already an old man in his twilight years at this time......
Many elderly filmmakers were quite moved when they saw this scene.
Last time, the Oscars put on such a grand posture and invited bigwigs like Spielberg and George Lucas to be award presenters...... If only 15 years ago!
At that time, Kurosawa received the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement, becoming the first Asian to receive the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award.
Obviously, the Oscars are going to raise Martin Scorsese to the same level as Akira Kurosawa in film history through a ceremonial award!
Akira Kurosawa is too great.
Even Spielberg, Coppola, Lucas and Scorsese, the four major directors, are all Kurosawa's "fan brothers". They have both paid homage to Akira Kurosawa many times in their respective films.
Now, the Oscars put on such a scene, which is really encouraging and praising Martin Lao for more than 30 years!
Martin Scorsese hasn't been able to win this award for decades, and to be honest, he has a lot of resentment in his heart.
But at this moment, all grievances and complaints disappeared.
In its place was endless joy.
He was as happy as a child.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Donne, thank you, thank you, thank you, please. Thank you! Thank you! Can you check the envelope again? Did I really win the award? I mean, I couldn't control myself after taking this award from the academy, and it was this honor from my old friends! We've been friends for 37 years. I'm so impressed, so impressed......"
It was probably the worst acceptance speech of the night.
Old Martin is like an Alzheimer's patient, his trembling voice is trembling, he keeps holding his glasses, and his rickety waist seems to be unable to bear the weight of the Oscar statuette.
He stammered in his acceptance speech.
His face flushed with excitement.
Even the broadcast footage of the TV set can keenly capture the tears in his cloudy eyes.
He had been waiting for this moment for 30 years!
……
In front of the TV, Leonardo was silent for a long time and sighed.
Yes, Martin Sr. waited more than 30 years before he finally won the award.
Al Pacino has also been nominated for the Oscar 7 times, and finally won the Oscar at the age of 52.
He's only 30 years old this year, what's he anxious about?
He also has a lot of time to understand movies and improve his acting skills.
He has Donn behind him, Martin Sr., and so many friends who support him.
What's the hurry?
I didn't get nominated for an Oscar this time, and there will be a next time.
Martin Scorsese's 30 years of perseverance is the best demonstration and encouragement for their younger filmmakers.
At this moment, Leonardo seemed to understand a lot.
The style of life has also improved a lot, and it has suddenly become brighter.
"Giselle, go change your clothes!"
Leonardo stood up suddenly.
"Huh?"
Gisele Bundchen was slightly stunned.
Leonardo said, "Let's go to the celebration party of "The Departed". Donn, Kate and Martin Sr. all won the award, and we went to congratulate them. Especially Martin Sr., I want to thank him. ”
Gisele Bundchen pursed her lips and nodded, the corners of her mouth crossed an elegant and beautiful arc.
