Chapter 1016: Oscar Night

Penelope Cruz took Donn's arm and appeared on the Oscar red carpet.

Although she was not nominated, she was the guest of honor at this year's Oscars, where she presented the award for Best Sound Editing.

When he came backstage, Don saw the white-bearded old man George Lucas at a glance, and went up to greet him with a smile, "George, I can't wait!"

George Lucas turned his head to look at him coldly, "Then I called you over, aren't you still shirking?"

Don was embarrassed.

"Star Wars Prequel III: Revenge of the Sith" is about to be released, which will be the last part of the "Star Wars Prequel" trilogy, and it will also be George Lucas's personal masterpiece!

For this film, George Lucas exhausted his heart, and many scenes were shot in front of him, and he had to be reshot after a while.

After several years of tossing, it was finally finalized.

Last month, Lucasfilm held an internal viewing party, inviting many well-known filmmakers in the industry to come and give some valuable suggestions for improvement.

Don didn't show up.

"Ahem, it's not like you don't know, I've been crazy all this time. Tang En sneered, "But I have a hunch that this movie will definitely be a big hit!"

George Lucas said angrily: "It stands to reason that with Natalie, the Oscar-winning actress, as the heroine, it is no problem to sell well." But what did you do? Since she won the actress for "Juno" two years ago, she actually went to Jerusalem to study. It's just a matter of studying, but not making a movie! It's just a matter of not making a movie, and it's as if this person has disappeared. ”

Tang En said weakly: "She doesn't want to study in peace." ”

George Lucas said stiffly: "It's good to read with peace of mind, but who is responsible for the box office of "Star Wars"?"

Whether in her previous life or in this life, Natalie is the biggest actor in "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith", and many times, she is the box office leader.

However, in the two years that Natalie has been studying, she has been so low-key that the whole United States seems to have forgotten about this person. Without traffic and exposure, how can it still have box office appeal?

George Lucas thought that with the aura of Natalie's Oscar actress, he could really contribute to the box office of "Star Wars Prequel 3".

As a result, I went to Jerusalem to study!

Don did a good job!

Don was embarrassed and said, "George, you also have to be considerate of my difficulties. The whole world knows that she is Donn's girlfriend, and every word and deed represents my decency many times. ”

George Lucas sighed, knowing that the face of the richest man in the world was very important, shook his head, and said: "If this movie can exceed $1 billion at the box office...... I wake up laughing in my dreams!"

$1 billion box office?

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith?

Difficult!

In the previous life, the film made $848 million at the box office.

In this life, there will be Marvel's masterpiece "Iron Man" released in the same schedule.

For such an established director, $1 billion at the box office ...... It's really out of reach.

Speaking of veteran directors, just around the corner where the two walked into the backstage lounge, they happened to meet a veteran director - Francis Coppola.

"Donn, I think you're going to win this time!" Francis Coppola waved at him from afar.

"I won't win, I really can't guess. Don shook his head, looked at him deeply, and glanced at George Lucas beside him, "Seeing that you all appeared, I can guess who the best director is." ”

George Lucas snorted, "Let's go, go inside." ”

The Oscars were held at the Kodak Theatre.

However, from the red carpet to the opening, there is still 1 hour to go.

Many small characters and actors can only wait obediently.

Seniors like George Lucas and Francis Coppola are eligible to enter the backstage lounge and wait for the ceremony to begin. Don was young, but he was too qualified.

Don ignored it and said in a suppressed voice, "If I'm not mistaken, is Spielberg one of you too?"

George Lucas's eyes widened, rather surprised, "Someone told you?"

Don said funny: "This is already too obvious! The four major Hollywood directors in the 80s, and He Manman, gathered together, which is obviously a hype gimmick." ”

Not surprisingly, the award ceremony for Best Director this time will be Francis Coppola, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg at the same time!

An award-winning director who can get so much respect and deserve grand treatment...... To be honest, Don doesn't have the qualifications!

Only Martin Scorsese!

In the previous life, in 2005, this year's Oscar for Best Director was given to Clint Eastwood, the guest of honor...... It's just Julia Roberts, an actress.

The current big scene has already illustrated the problem.

Before the award ceremony began, Don's hanging heart had already fallen halfway.

The award for Best Director is in hand.

Martin Scorsese will win the Oscar for Best Director for the first time in his life!

However, this is a secret topic after all, and neither Francis Coppola nor George Lucas talked about it much, and it is not good for anyone to expose the bottom to Oscar.

Many times, the Oscars represent the decency of Hollywood.

For the sake of this face, filmmakers have to carry their pockets.

The backstage of the Oscars is like a museum, with a lot of historical photographs, most of them actors, most of them stills.

Among them, Tang En saw Miss Zhang at a glance.

This is her appearance as "Jade Jiaolong" in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which looks particularly fresh.

Francis Coppola saw Donn's slightly hesitant movement and said with a smile: "Chinese? Hehe, Sophia also told me that there are many film geniuses in the Chinese-speaking circle. ”

Sofia Coppola?

Well, she must be talking about Wang Jiawei.

……

The Oscars ceremony has finally begun.

In order to increase the ratings, the organizing committee specially invited the black comedian Chris Rock.

Don wasn't interested in this guy's jokes at all.

is secretly analyzing the strategy of the Oscars this time, pondering how many awards "The Departed" can win.

Best Director didn't run.

The award presenters have been revealed.

Best Actor?

It was Donn himself who was nominated.

It's hard to say.

The Best Supporting Actor nominee is Mark Wahlberg, and this kid's face does not look like he won the award. It's Cate Blanchett's Best Supporting Actress who is very dramatic.

The other miscellaneous awards are not worth caring about.

The awards ceremony quickly got to the point, first with Harry Berry presenting the Best Art Direction Award, and "The Departed" got off to a good start!

Two designers, Danti Ferreti and Francesca Ciaovo, took the stage to receive the award.

Tonight's Oscars, for the first time, fluttered the melody of "The Departed"!

For the sake of guaranteed ratings, the Oscars can't always arrange miscellaneous awards.

The second award is a very heavy award - Best Supporting Actress!

Renee Zellweger presented the award as a guest of honor, and Don could even feel the sudden tension of the atmosphere of the "Departed" crew.

Compared with Best Art Direction, Best Supporting Actress is the award that everyone values more!

Can Cate Blanchett win the Oscar for the first time in her life?

She is another representative of Australian actresses after Nicole Kidman!

Until Renee Zellweger finally opened the envelope -

"The winner is ......"

She paused for a moment, then showed a formulaic bright smile, and her eyes accurately found the crew of "The Departed" again, and her tone was a little raised-

"Cate Blanchett, The Departed!"

Rumble!

Kodak Theatre, ushered in the first ** of the night. I want to talk about "Heads-up Hollywood" with more like-minded people; , talk about life, find a confidant~
