Chapter 1629: Shadow Queen!
Saturday, March 31.
The Music Center Theater in Los Angeles is full at the moment.
The 56th Academy Awards will reveal the mystery tonight.
Two accountants from PricewaterhouseCoopers have entered the backstage with handcuffed confidential boxes with the Oscars organizing committee members.
Next, after the host's opening remarks and performance, it will be a tense award ceremony.
Yin Jun was not interested in the humorous words of the host on stage and the wonderful performance.
His eyes were fixed on the air and he didn't speak.
On his right sat Lin Qingxia, and on his left sat Tom Hanks.
Sister Qingxia specially invited the crew of "Overlord Flower 2" to take a two-day vacation and came to attend the award ceremony.
She hit the Best Actress for the second time, and the demand is very high, and "The Daughter of a Little God" is also the favorite theme of Hollywood's film school veterans.
Lin Qingxia's deaf and dumb young woman has been recognized by almost everyone, regardless of the box office and touching degree, she is worthy of the title of the blockbuster of the year.
Sister Dongfang herself was very nervous, but Yin Jun next to her was even more nervous than her, and she was obviously a little absent-minded when she answered her words.
After all, Lin Qingxia is a woman, so at this time, she restrained her expectations and nervous expectations, put her scarf on the armrest of the sofa chair between the two, and then reached over and put her hand in her man's palm.
Yin Jun's palms were covered with sweat.
People are like that, the more you care about something or a person, the more it (he) (she) will torment you.
The more you don't care, the more you don't care.
If "The Shawshank Redemption" had succeeded last time, Yin Jun would not have looked forward to it this time.
It's easy to say, but what person who makes movies doesn't want to be favored by the Oscars?
If it was really easy to ignore it, Xiao Lizi would not have destroyed himself so miserably.
"The Shawshank Redemption" actually lost the Best Director award under such a strong advantage, which broke most people's eyes.
Stephen King, the author of the original book, was surprised to tell reporters, "The story I wrote myself, but it was adapted by Mr. Jun into a movie that is ten times better than the story and has a more profound meaning, which has surprised me! But what is even more surprising is that the film school actually turned a blind eye to such an excellent work! This is something that should not happen!!
However, no matter how many people complain about Yin Jun, Yin Jun has never complained in public in the past year.
Complaining will only make these old men of Oscar tired of it, making them feel that Yin Jun is too young and vigorous to withstand setbacks.
This is indeed the case.
A good director should only speak with his own work.
A director who quarrels with his mouth will never have much to offer.
So, the boy only said that he would continue to work hard.
So he then brought "Rain Man".
"Rain Man" is the same as "The Shawshank Redemption", which has received widespread praise.
"The Shawshank Redemption" tells the story of freedom and redemption.
"Rain Man" tells the story of family affection.
Both of them happen to be the embodiment of the social spirit most promoted by the United States, so the two of them occupy such a big advantage in the selection of the Oscars.
To be honest, the annihilation of "The Shawshank Redemption" in the previous life is really an unimaginable thing.
God knows what kind of conspiracy there is, so that such an excellent movie can't get the respect it deserves.
The current "Rain Man" is an out-and-out hit, and it is definitely a movie that will win awards.
It is exactly the same as "The Daughter of a Little God" in terms of popularity, and even vaguely higher.
But this time, no one knows whether these old men from the film academy will respond to Yin Jun, who hit the award for the second time.
"Oh, before we start giving out the first prize, let's see, Mr. Jun is a little nervous today! Don't be nervous, I think you have a good chance tonight!"
Even the host could see that Yin Jun was nervous, and the people next to him looked back at Yin Jun, or looked at him from the screen, and they all let out a good-natured laugh.
There was no one who dared to laugh at Yin Jun.
Because his other identity is the chairman of the Kirin Group, the boss of the largest entertainment group in Hollywood.
Hollywood is very disgusted with this kind of behavior that does not respect capital and has no dignity.
You see those stars bombarding which director, which producer, or even which giant companies, but never see them directly criticize the presidents of the Big Seven.
That's definitely an act of looking for death!
Even if someone goes crazy and wants to do this, no media will dare to put these words in the newspapers or on television.
When the first presenter comes out, it also represents the official start of the Oscars.
The person who came was a famous musician.
The first award he announced was Best Original Score.
Among the candidates are both "Rain Man" and "The Daughter of the Little God".
"The winner is James McYnes, ...... "Daughter of a Little God"!"
As expected, the first award was successfully won by the Kirin Group.
"It seems to be a good omen today!" Lin Qingxia laughed, approached Yin Jun again, and whispered to him.
"Hmm!"
The young man's face also relaxed slightly.
In this year's Oscars, in fact, the biggest winner should be Tang Shuxuan and Lin Qingxia's "Mother-Daughter Love" last year.
It won a total of five awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
But last year, because "Mother-Daughter Love" was a Chinese female director and actress, the best director and best actress did not have a role.
In addition, the film school wanted to compensate "The Shawshank Redemption", so it gave it the best picture instead of "Mother and Daughter Love".
So in this session, according to the analysis of the media, "Rain Man" and "The Daughter of a Little God" are outside the competition, and the only remaining enemy should be British director Peter Yeats's "The Makeup Artist".
In this regard, Yin Jun was a little unimpressed.
Although Peter Yeats is the British director most admired by the old men of the film school, he has also seen "The Makeup Artist", the whole content is obscure and mysterious, and it is not as good as "Mother-Daughter Love", let alone this year's "Rain Man" and "The Daughter of a Little God".
Yin Jun's guesses may not all be correct, but in the next series of awards, "Makeup Artist" really didn't get any of them.
The best original screenplay is for "Rain Man", the best costume design is for "The Daughter of a Little God", and the best visual effects are for "Rain Man".
Yin Jun, like last year, won the Best Original Screenplay Award and achieved a consecutive hegemony.
However, this time he went up, but instead of saying "I'll be back" like last year, he simply said a few words and returned to his seat.
While everyone applauded, they also understood that Yin Jun was looking forward to the most important award for him.
Johnny Depp, who rushed back from the crew of "Resident Evil", quickly waited for the Best Supporting Actor award he was most looking forward to.
is also looking forward to this award, as well as the crew of "Untouchable".
Zeng Qi, who played the disabled rich man, was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor with his very good acting skills, which is also the first actor born and raised in Hong Kong to receive such a high award.
Zeng Qi's age is not young, if he can win the best supporting actor, it will also be a comfort to his half-life efforts.
Although the acting skills are very good, and everyone's comments are also praised, Zeng Qi's shortcomings are also obvious.
That is, he is from Xiangjiang, and he has not appeared in Hollywood movies before.
If you want to win an Oscar like this, the possibility should not be unlikely.
Zeng Qian was also very clear about this, but it did not prevent him from looking forward to the stage nervously at this time.
Johnny Depp is also unlikely.
To be honest, although Johnny Depp's performance has improved to a certain extent compared to Tom Cruise in his previous life, the biggest expressiveness of "Rain Man" is in Tom Hanks, so this also greatly suppresses his efforts.
Before he asked Yin Jun, Yin Jun asked him to try it.
Seeing Johnny Depp in a formal suit today, I am obviously still looking forward to it.
"The winner is ...... Rip Towne of Cross Creek!
Hearing the announcement of the award presenter, Zeng Qian let out a long sigh, turned a smile on his face, and began to applaud.
Eddie Murphy, who had been a good friend with him, also came to his side and whispered something.
And Johnny Depp, who straightened his body just now, immediately showed a disappointed look on his face, and then covered his face with both hands.
Tom Hanks, who was beside him, hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and whispered something to him.
Yin Jun also bent over Tom Hanks and patted his leg, "What's sad? If you fail, you can just fight for it next time! Now show your demeanor, countless people are looking at you!"
Young people always want to save face.
Hearing Yin Jun's words, Johnny Depp quickly wiped his eyes, removed his hand, and grinned and applauded while his eyes were red, not to mention how awkward it looked.
But neither Yin Jun nor Tom Hanks reminded him again, it's better than crying!
The next award for Best Supporting Actress was won by Linda Hunter of "A Dangerous Year in Life", and "Rain Man" and "Daughter of a Little God" were not nominated for this project, so they didn't care.
But since then, the four most important awards for Best Actor and Actress, Best Director and Best Picture have been the goals that Kirin Group must compete for.
It is definitely rare for a film to win such four awards at the same time, but now that the Kirin Group is competing for two films, the chances are much greater.
The first award was given to Best Actress.
The avatars of the four shortlisted actresses are displayed on the screen.
Meryl Streep, last year's Oscar-winning actress, stood on the podium.
Aunt Mei, who has not yet grown old, is dressed up very beautifully today, wearing a black dress, showing off her perfect figure elegantly.
After smiling and saying a few words that made everyone relax, Aunt Mei opened the envelope.
Then a smile appeared on her lips.
"At last year's awards ceremony, I had a great competitor ......," Aunt May opened her mouth.
Hearing this, Lin Qingxia's brain shook open with a "boom", and it was blank.
Warm applause also rang out at this time.
Basically, the people who heard this, like Lin Qingxia, understood who the best actress of this year was.
In addition to Lin Qingxia, who was also very popular last year, who else was nominated for Best Actress this year?
Aunt Mei looked at everyone so excited, and her eyes also looked at Lin Qingxia's side, "Yes, the winner of the Best Actress at the 56th Academy Awards is...... "Little God's Daughter" Bridget Lyn! Congratulations to Bridget!!"
