Chapter 438 Vanity Fair

Whether Martin Scorsese can win the award is one of the highlights of the Oscars, and there is already a saying in society that the academy owes Scorsese a little golden man.

Now that he had finally gotten his wish, the seventy-two-year-old Scorsese looked radiant and flushed, and Mark was last on the long list he listed, but all of them were the most important, because Scorsese added: "I wouldn't be here without his full support." ”

The big screen switches to Mark's box, and Mark and Egger give a standing ovation, and they are very happy to be able to help the film master realize his dream.

Giselle next to Mark said, "I'm proud of you. And Jack Nicholson, who was already behind the curtain to give him the warmest bear hug, was the guest of honor for Best Picture tonight.

Jack Nicholson, who has never taken off his sunglasses, and Diane Keaton, who has a tacit understanding with him, presented the final award "Best Picture" together.

The nominees for Best Picture are "Babel", "Infernal Affairs", "Letter from Iwo Jima", "Little Sunshine Beauty", "The Queen", this award is not in suspense now, and the highest demand is the first three, but after "Infernal Affairs" won Best Editing and Best Director, the future is suddenly clear, and last year's "Crash" can complete the counterattack because it won the best editing, which makes everything full of variables, and now there is no problem in this regard.

Sure enough, "Infernal Affairs" won the final victory, and Diane Keaton couldn't help but scream after reading the list. Backstage, Scorsese didn't seem to react until Spielberg happily hugged him and smiled in surprise again.

On behalf of the entire crew, the producer of "Infernal Affairs" took the stage to deliver his acceptance speech: "It's ecstatic and exciting to stand here, DiCaprio, Heath Ledger, I've worked with them 4 times, and Scorsese, 2 times, and other partners, you have helped me a lot every time, I love you, and finally, thank you to our family." ”

Although "Infernal Affairs" did not win many awards, it took the two most important awards into its arms, as well as the best editing, the best adapted screenplay, and won four out of five nominations, all of which were awards and became a well-deserved winner.

And "Dream Girl", which has nine names, only won two, and Pan Shen Maze, which was nominated for seven nominations, won three, all of which were leftovers and became frustrated.

Scorsese, who has never met at the Oscars, has finally fulfilled his hardest wish! And the previously popular "Babel" only won one "Best Score", although it is similar to last year's "Crash", but it does not have a similar fate.

When Allen announced the end of the 79th Oscars, many people began to leave the show quickly, because of the poor time control, the originally planned three-and-a-half-hour party turned into almost four hours, for those who were winners, of course, hoping that the party would never stop, and for those who were disappointed, they wanted to end early.

For those winners, nominees and celebrities, they also have programs, that is, through the backstage or special channel, to attend the Vanity Fair Oscar Night party held by Vanity Fair magazine, even the four famous directors to participate, and others dare not give face to the Kongscart Group, at least to show up, take a turn before leaving, such as the old cowboy, as one of last year's big disappointments, he smashed fame and fortune, although not like Mel. J Pusen is just as unlucky, falling from heaven to hell, but he is also exhausted, and it will be difficult to direct blockbusters again, so even if he doesn't go, "Vanity Fair" will not be surprised, while ordinary audiences go home to sleep.

The Oscar statuette symbolizes Hollywood's highest honor, and the "Vanity Fair Oscar Night" held after the Oscars has also become an exclusive party for Hollywood celebrities.

As a must-have aftershow of the Oscars, almost all the Oscar nominees will attend the staggered celebration dinner, whether it is the winner or the loser, they will appear on the stage to show their faces, ostensibly to reward themselves for their hard work in the past year, but in essence, take this opportunity to find the next good opportunity for "fame and fortune".

Like last time, Mark hooked up with Brad Pitt at a Vanity Fair party, which led to the project "Infernal Affairs", which became a momentary story.

Just like this time, when Mark went to pee in Iger, he decided on two projects, one for the French film "La Vie en Rose" and the other for "Juno", and he decided that Columbia Samsung would operate and distribute both films.

This "Vanity Fair" party, in addition to allowing the winners to celebrate, is more about looking for the next "fame and fortune" opportunity, many film and television tycoons, often do not attend the Oscar party, but participate in the "Vanity Fair" party, for them, there are more opportunities here, business opportunities are everywhere.

However, there are very few projects like Mark who finalize the project so quickly, and if the party has a record in this regard, Mark must have broken the record in this regard

The production team of "La Vie en Rose" is very strong, and the production cost has also reached a new high, which is regarded by the international film industry as the most important French work after "Rodin's Lover" and "Angel Amelie", the original actress is the glamorous actress Marion Cotillard who has starred in "The Queen of Taxis" and "A Good Year", as well as "Rodin's Lover" French Caesar actor Gérard Depardieu, "New Amelie" Schvetey Ster, "The Long Marriage" Jean-Paul Louvre. The film is directed by French director Olivier Daeng, who previously directed "Ghost River" and "Undercurrent 2: Angel of Doom", and this version is starring Eva Green, who also invested in this film.

In order to match the romantic feelings of Edith Piaf, "La Vie en Rose" was grandly released in a total of 800 theaters in France on Valentine's Day on February 14 this year, setting a record for the most French literary film co-screening theaters, which shows the importance that France attaches to this film, of course, this box office is average.

Olivier Daeng met with Mark under Green's recommendation, and they originally wanted to give it to Miramax or Paramount Advantage and Weinstein Pictures for distribution, but they didn't offer a high price, and after seeing MM's strong publicity and distribution capabilities, Daon's team changed their minds, and they approached Mark, and they hit it off and quickly reached an agreement.

As for "Juno", it is a small project created by the well-known producer Joseph Drake and screenwriter Diablo Coty, and the introducer is Mark's friend Hank, which is a project with an investment of 6.5 million US dollars, which can be called a small success, Drake lobbied several film companies, and Mark made the highest bid, which convinced them.

The "La Vie en Rose" and "Juno" made Mark sigh that this person's luck is coming, and a wall can't stop it, and they will still be beautiful at the 2008 Oscars. Scorsese's left-hand best director, right-handed best film, he took pictures with many people with a smile on his face, and after he took a photo with his three friends, he beckoned to Mark and asked him to come and take a picture with them.

There were many people who took photos with them tonight, but Mark was the only one who took a photo with the four famous directors in the same frame, and the other three also welcomed Mark, which was different from shaking hands with each other at the beginning, they were holding business cards, Lucas invited Mark to his Skywalker Farm as a guest, and it was only now that Mark integrated into their circle and was regarded as a friend by them, everyone was just partners before, and now Mark helped Scorsese fulfill his wish, and they recognized Mark's ability.

Mark is recognized as the best commercial film director, but compared with these film masters, there is still a gap, so Mark is trying to fit into their circle, hoping to get closer to the galactic tyrant and get involved in the galactic empire, for Industrial Light & Magic and Lucasfilm, he is determined to win, and will not give Disney any chance.

After the filming of the main and prequel to "Star Wars", many people believe that the resources of the Galactic Republic have been exhausted, this super IP has lost its value, and Lucasfilm is going downhill, which is a big mistake.

The original Disney continues to make sequels, and what kind of biography "Rogue One" and "Ranger Han Solo" are still engaged in the story, which is a gold mine that can be continuously opened.

So for the invitation of several bigwigs, he readily agreed, and also invited them to participate in the celebration held within the Columbia company, which several bigwigs agreed to after a little hesitation.

In fact, Mark has a good relationship with them, needless to say that Scorsese and Lucas have an extremely close relationship at work, and this Coppola has no relationship, but Mark has a good relationship with his daughter Sofia Coppola, and has cooperated many times, and Coppola's nephew, Nicolas Cage, is filming the Colombian superhero blockbuster "Chariot of Soul", which can be said to have a good relationship.

Mark just has a general relationship with Spielberg, there is no intersection between the two sides, and there is no cooperation, and Lao Si also "robbed" Mark's "Blood in the Pacific", and the two sides can only be said to be nodding friends.

Now Lao Si has taken refuge in Paramount, and he has no cooperation with Mark, but after all, everyone is the top boss in the circle, and in many ways there is cooperation and borrowing, both sides are very polite and polite, this time with the relationship between Scorsese, the two sides have gone further and become people in the same circle.

It can be said that after Mark's goal of praising Scorsese to the throne was achieved, the harvest he was looking forward to began to ripen one by one, Scorsese fulfilled his long-cherished wish for thirty years, and exhaled the grievances in his chest, his whole person was beaming, the wrinkles on his face were shining, he pulled Mark, kept talking, and invited Mark to his house for dinner.
