Chapter 328: The actor-like Don
Three years ago, Donn was nominated for Best Director for "Titanic".
He did not win the award, but as a guest of honor, Kate Winslet presented the award for Best Actress, which was very sensational and the most impressive scene of the night.
Now, three years later, Kate Winslet is on the podium, and this time, she is going to present Donn!
Maybe it's the arrangement of fate, or maybe it's the deliberate setting of the Oscar organizing committee in order to create a topic. In short, such a situation is indeed very memorable.
Kate Winslet stood on the podium with a smile, her eyes kept locked on Donn, and she even had a feeling of tears in her eyes, as if she had won the award.
Donne, as the most successful director on the planet, is young, but he must be rewarded with an Oscar.
Even if a heavy award like Best Director is not suitable for Don at the moment for various reasons, a relatively weak award like Best Screenplay is enough to show that the Oscars attach importance to an outstanding newcomer like Donn.
Oscar, of course, has selfish motives.
But Oscar's biggest selfishness is to hope that Hollywood can develop better!
Don straightened his bow tie and stood up, and at the same time as him, there were all the guests and celebrities in the audience!
This is just a small award, but because of Donn, the sensational effect caused is no less than the announcement of awards such as actor, actress, and best picture!
Instead of hugging Natalie immediately, Don turned around, covered his chest with his right hand, and bowed down to greet the guests who were celebrating him, and such a humble gesture immediately attracted even more enthusiastic applause from the audience.
There has never been such a move in the Oscars, which is the Confucian etiquette of the East.
In this grand ceremony, the past winners stood up proudly like kings, hugged their partners and greeted them, and then walked up to the podium with their heads held high.
Tang En, with such a transcendent status and posture now, can show such a humble side, which won the admiration of the guests and the respect of the audience in front of the TV.
Even such a good director and super-rich man are so humble and polite, what qualifications do others have to fly?
After bowing to the audience, Don and Natalie hugged tightly, and heard Natalie whisper in his ear: "Your acting skills can compete for Best Actor!"
Don almost burst out laughing, but quickly endured it, kissed her on the cheek, and then hugged Nicole Kidman again.
Nicole Kidman gave a friendly congratulations.
After greeting the crew of "Soul Shifter", Donn slowly walked out of the aisle and onto the podium, where Kate Winslet was already looking forward to the Oscar trophy in her hand.
The result, of course, was another big hug.
"You're the best man I've ever known!Congratulations!" Kate Winslet behaved in a down-to-earth manner, unabashed in praise.
Don patted her on the back and jokingly said, "Your praise like this will make me proud." ”
Kate Winslet pursed her lips and said, "Your excellence is enough to make you even more proud." ”
Tang En laughed and took the 4-kilogram Golden Statue Trophy, which was heavy and textured.
Walking to the microphone, waiting for the two award presenters, Robert Downey and Kate Winslet, to retreat and hand over the entire stage to him, in the face of the thousands of guests and important people in the audience, a kind of pressure was invisibly formed.
Tang En took a deep breath and said with a smile: "According to tradition, first of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the organizing committee for the trust they have given me and award this award to me, really, I am very excited at this moment!"
This is not a lie.
For the Best Adapted Screenplay Award alone, Don En didn't care about it at all.
But in the "sunglasses system", this award is crucial, an Oscar can replace a "contract stealing" skill, which can play a killer role at a critical moment.
The total box office of the movies that Don En has participated in now (including producers, directors, screenwriters, etc.) has exceeded 5.39 billion US dollars, counting the gift of the newbie package, that is, although Don has now made 5 movies, he still has a "mirror possession" skill in his hand.
And with the release of movies such as "Unsinkable" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" this summer, the "mirror possession" skill is no longer a luxury for Don, but the "stealing contract" is directly linked to the Oscars, which is very valuable.
Tang En paused for a moment, put away his cynical smile, and said very formally and slowly: "However, what I want to thank most is Hollywood! As we all know, my childhood was not happy, and I didn't even finish high school. It is this soil of Hollywood that has taught me to be a person, learned film skills, and given me the opportunity to show my talents, which led to today's achievements. I didn't have a home since I was a kid, but I loved Hollywood, Hollywood...... It's my home!"
Suddenly, the audience applauded again!
Since Don became famous, his life resume has long been picked up by the media.
His past is bad, but it's not a scandal. His success has evolved into a typical representative of the American Dream in a new era and a new era.
For the first time, Donn spoke about his life experience in public, which led to his love for Hollywood, which of course caused many Hollywood bigwigs and stars to empathize.
Hollywood is a platform, and the success of all the guests present is inseparable from the promotion of this platform!
It may be dark and damp and full of insider information, but there is no doubt that Hollywood is the basic starting point for these people's success.
Seeing everyone's excited looks, Tang En breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this direction was right, and continued: "I am a young man, I don't have as rich life experience and social experience as many predecessors, I don't have their maturity and stability and broad mind, but I am a young man! I have hard work, I have strength, I have the vision of the new era!"
"Last year, we all knew that I had partnered with Mr. Michael Ovitz to form Legendary Pictures, an atypical film company that launched a platter investment business that was a whole new investment model. But it turns out that the platter investment has brought new blood and new impetus to Hollywood!"
"I said, Hollywood is your home, and it's my home! I hope this home can get better and brighter! I'm still young, and I'm going to fight for it. Platter investment is my first step in the idea, and in the future, I hope to cooperate with more people with lofty ideals and experienced seniors to create more new industries that are conducive to the development of Hollywood. ”
"Hollywood is 80 years old, but I am confident that I can promote reforms, expand the world, and make Hollywood's intellectual property rights cover a wider area. Multi-pronged, go hand in hand, keep up with the times, become bigger and stronger!"
