Chapter 714: Thank Yourself
After Guo Dalu finished speaking, the whole venue burst into laughter, but Stephen Kokin, who was standing on the stage, had an extremely unsightly face, even if there were differences between Eastern and Western cultures, he could still hear what Guo Dalu had just said, which was taking advantage of him.
But in such a high-profile venue, any inappropriate response would be magnified into a joke that would be talked about, and even Stephen Curkin would have to keep a smile on his face.
"Oh, it seems that my parents will be happy to make friends with Director Guo Dalu in the future!"
Stephen Kirkin shrugged his shoulders and tried to clear away the embarrassment, "Let's take a look at the nominations for Best Cinematography this year, oh, this time there is a female cinematographer from a film on the list, it's amazing, this should be the first time a female cinematographer has been nominated......"
In his deliberate diversion of the subject, the audience finally calmed down.
"Now let's take a look at the Best Cinematography nominations. β
Stephen Rkin turned around and looked at the big screen behind him.
The lights flickered on the big screen, and the nominated films played on the screen one after another with a strong shooting style.
There are a total of five people nominated this time, but there are seven works screened, and it is clear that someone has been nominated for multiple works.
After the scene ends, Stephen Curgin leaves the stage, and a Western woman in a red off-the-shoulder dress slowly walks backstage, she is Juliet, the winner of the last Oscar for Best Actress.
It has become a tradition for the Oscars to have the previous winners unveil the names of the current winners, and this time is no exception.
After Juliet's brief speech, the winner of Best Cinematography, finally revealed, was a film made in a small Western European country, and the photographer was a woman.
It is the first time in the history of cinema that a female photographer can win the Oscar for Best Cinematography, no wonder Stephen Corkin sighed before.
After the best cinematography, the best music and the best art were awarded, and when it came time for the best costume design, Stephen Korkin said in amazement: "Oh God, do you know what my favorite costume is? Beautiful princess costume, of course." But when I learned that there was a princess whose costume was designed by a director, I suddenly didn't like her a little. Oh, Director Guo Dalu, I'm not talking about you. β
Although he said "It's not you", looking at his expression, you know that he is talking about Guo Dalu, this guy actually grabbed Guo Dalu and ridiculed him when he had the opportunity.
"There are six films nominated for Best Costume Design, let's look at the big screen. β
After Stephen Korgin stepped down, clips from six films on the big screen began to play, including "Roman Holiday."
This "Roman Holiday", whether it is the soundtrack or costume design, or the script, or the director, or the film editing, it is all Guo Dalu's own work, this time a film was nominated for 14 items, which can be described as unprecedented, as long as there are two awards, one of the trophies must be Guo Dalu's.
At this point, the film clips on the screen have been screened, and a blonde and blue-eyed Western woman walks out of the backstage, she is Amanda, the winner of the last year's Best Costume Design.
It is estimated that it is the first time to stand on such a big stage, Amanda is a little nervous, and said with a restrained expression: "He is a kung fu superstar, a best-selling author, and a famous director. He was recently named one of the strongest tough guys in the history of the world screen, but this tough guy is still an excellent fashion designer, God, the two sides of man are fully reflected in this person!"
When she said this, she opened the envelope in her hand, bowed her head and read: "This year's Best Costume Design Film, "Roman Holiday", winner Guo Dalu!"
Wow!
Applause erupted.
In fact, at this awards party, any filmmaker with a little eye will know that "Roman Holiday" will definitely win the award.
The filmmakers who can be invited by the Oscars are all a group of people at the highest level in the world, and they naturally have a vision, and they can naturally see the quality of "Roman Holiday", if this movie can't win the Oscar award, then the Oscars in the future don't want to convince the public.
Why did Guo Dalu refuse the Oscar invitation last year, and why did the Oscar send an invitation letter to Guo Dalu this year?
A light-hearted romantic comedy like "Roman Holiday" can't come across one in decades, and if it doesn't win an award, the Oscar is just a joke, and its credibility will definitely plummet.
The more formalized and influential the awards conference, the more it will try its best to maintain its image, at least to look fair and fair.
"Roman Holiday", as a film work with great influence in the world, is respected by filmmakers all over the world, such a film that has reached the extreme in artistry and storytelling, if it can't win the award, it's really too unusual.
So now that "Roman Holiday" can win the award, everyone is not surprised, but the costume designer of this film is Guo Dalu, which makes people feel very weird.
As far as Guo Dalu, the five big and three thick guys, it is enough to make people feel disobedient to be able to shoot "Roman Holiday", and now even the costumes and props of the crew are designed by this guy, which simply subverts everyone's thinking and cognition.
Until Guo Dalu came to the stage and caught the little golden man, everyone at the scene still couldn't react, just applauded out of shape.
Since he won the award, there must be an acceptance speech, Guo Dalu grabbed the little golden man on stage, walked to the microphone, and said with a smile: "I specially asked my friends in the film and television industry last year, and I asked them, is this little golden man pure gold? They said no, and when I heard that it was not, I was too lazy to come, because with the money I earned in a day, I could buy a lot of this kind of little gold man." β
The audience laughed.
These words spoken by Guo Dalu are the authentic official lingua franca of the United States, and they are extremely standard, just like foreign cross talk actors speak Mandarin in China, and Mandarin is better than most Chinese people. And Guo Dalu's American English is more authentic than what Americans speak.
When he said these words, everyone in the audience laughed when they understood it.
Guo Dalu looked at the little gold figure in his hand and continued: "But I later heard that this little gold figure is actually plated with a layer of gold on the outside, which cannot be regarded as nothing, and Director Stephen Ke Jin was also at the scene, so I wanted to get to know him, so I came." Why should I meet Stephen Curkin? Oh God, because he grew up so much in line with my plan for my son's life, it's amazing! I really need to know Stephen's parents!"
There was another burst of laughter from the audience.
Stephen Kirkin, who was standing not far away, couldn't laugh if he wanted to, couldn't get angry when he wanted to, and his face was extremely embarrassed.
Guo Dalu held the little golden figure in his hand, faced the camera with a serious face and said: "When filming "Roman Holiday", the crew worked very hard and the shooting time was also very tight, but everyone was very dedicated, which led to the emergence of such a work. β
He inhaled excitedly, "To win this award todayβ"
According to the general acceptance speech, when the actor says this, he will definitely say words of thanks to many people, some thank the director, some thank the crew, and some thank his family.
Then I heard Guo Dalu say: "The main thing is my own efforts!"
