Chapter 567: Too Far Away
Entering the backstage, the director of the party immediately greeted him and gave him a new string of words, saying that the string of words had changed, Matthew looked at it carefully, probably for the sake of time, the new string of words became very concise, the string of words given to him during the last rehearsal was very long, it is estimated that it was temporarily changed, tonight's awards ceremony lasted too long, it has been more than three hours, not to mention that the audience in front of the TV will be bored, and if it doesn't end quickly, maybe there will be an actress wearing a tight dress who urinates in the Kodak theater on the spot.
Remembering the strings, Matthew, led by the director, went to the backstage exit position, just in time to see George Lucas, Francis Coppola and Steven Spielberg taking the stage to present the Best Director award.
His eyes fell on George Lucas, the famous director, producer and billionaire, who was neither a member of the Directors Guild nor a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and his attitude towards the Oscars was also dispensable, and the Academy never liked him, but it did not stop him from becoming a real Hollywood top in the slightest.
When it comes to status and strength in the circle, George Lucas, who has never won an Oscar, is definitely above Martin Scorsese, Francis Coppola and Steven Spielberg.
These three people stand on the stage, even if the award has not yet been announced, there is no suspense about the best director tonight, and three of the four directors will present the award on stage together, isn't it clear who the winner is?
After years of fighting for the Oscars, Martin Scorsese was finally recognized by the academy and won the Oscar for Best Director for "The Departed".
The audience erupted in applause, and although it was not Martin Scorsese's best film, it was also one of the best, and he deserved to win Best Director.
Matthew doesn't like Martin Scorsese's gangster films, just like he likes the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" far better than the American version of "The Departed", Martin Scorsese's American gangster films are not to his taste, but seeing Martin Scorsese win the award, he applauded and congratulated the old Martin from the bottom of his heart, because the situation is clear, that is what Martin Scorsese deserves a long time ago.
On the stage, the award presenters were outstanding, Martin Scorsese was excited, his eyes were moist under the two signature thick eyebrows, and he finally got what he wanted, and his true feelings were revealed, and he was incoherent and said more than a dozen "thank you, thank you...... in one breath"
Martin Scorsester thanked Liu Weiqiang and the Hong Kong version of the crew, and also stated that he had not seen the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" at all.
If you look at it from Matthew's eyes, "The Departed" is like forcing men to wear high heels, which is absolutely awkward, but he also knows that he is biased against American gangster films, maybe the American version is really good, as many people say, Martin Scorsese is born from a wise and gloomy story of an infernal hell, and a completely American story.
Martin Scorsese debuted in 1956 and has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Director many times, and has repeatedly returned empty-handed, he desperately hopes to be affirmed by the Oscars, no matter how many other honors favor him, no matter how many fans worship him as the uncrowned king.
This Best Director Golden Man is not so much awarded to "The Departed" as it is a recognition of the personal style he has built up over the years.
The Oscars are always keen to compensate, and it rarely gives a director the credit he deserves for his most brilliant work when he is at his best.
Martin Scorsese's golden age has long passed, and this award came too late, long before Robert De Niro was still swinging his fists and guns.
But when you see the picture of Martin Scorsese holding the little golden man, everyone knows that this moment is what he deserves.
Although he has gray hair, he has finally waited for Martin Scorsese on stage to be much happier than Leonardo DiCaprio, the actor of "The Departed".
This year, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet were both nominated for Best Actor and Actress, Jack and Rousi reunited at the Oscars, and countless fans of "Titanic" were looking forward to the two being on the top podium of the Oscars together, but they ignored an important reality, Jack and Rousi can't sink the ship now, how can the Oscars give awards?
When Jack and Rousi can sink the big ship alone, the award will naturally arrive.
Thinking of the sour picture in the horror, Matthew once again confirmed that it was better for him to stay away from the Oscars, and that being so good-looking was a big capital to realize his original intention, but it couldn't be ruined because of a gold-plated male statue.
In the future, the baby will only complain about Uncle Li, who is in his last years, because they have never seen the little plum at that time, so tender that he pinched out the water, handsome and bloody, and will always be a peerless beautiful boy in his memory......
Just as he was thinking nonsense, the four directors on the stage walked together to the exit on the other side of the stage, and the director reminded him softly, and Matthew quickly cheered up and strode onto the stage when he heard the voice of host Ellen DeGeneres presenting the best picture.
At this moment, the lights are shining and all eyes are on, and no one can deny the influence of the Oscars.
Seeing Matthew on stage walking in front of the microphone, Alexandra D'Addario bit her lip gently, Matthew's appearance is really good, his smile is full of kindness and enthusiasm, and he proudly examines everything in the world with a wild temperament, and there is firmness hidden under the sculptural line-like appearance.
His handsome appearance and charming expression are always the most dazzling scenery.
Alexandra D'Addario felt that he had everything a great man needed, appearance, figure, fame, money, status, and character......
All of these are the best choices.
And her best friend Amanda is a good friend of Matthew, she knows more about Matthew from Amanda, Matthew is different from many actors and stars, he does not have outstanding acting talent, his success depends on his continuous learning and hard work, overcoming his own weaknesses, supplementing useful experience, the spirit of hardship in his early years helped him greatly, and he finally relied on his perseverance and courage to move forward step by step to his current success and glory.
She had only met two such wonderful men so far, one was her father and the other was Matthew.
She knew that Matthew was very good and attractive to her, but she knew even better that this was a playboy who changed women like changing clothes.
Amanda once told her that if you want a marriage or a long-term stable relationship, stay away from Matthew, if it's a passionate love affair in your life......
Listening to Matthew's serious words on the stage, Alexandra Daddario suddenly thought that Matthew is only twenty-seven years old this year, and he is not yet twenty-one years old.
"...... nominated for Best Picture Tonight"
On stage, Matthew turned around and looked at the big screen behind him, saying "Babel, Steve Golin and Joe Creek, The Departed, Brad Gray and Gianni Nunari, The Queen, Andy Harris and FranΓ§ois Langan, Letter from Iwo Jima, Clint Eastwood and Paul Haggis, ......"
He quickly opened the envelope, took out the card and looked down, without pretending to be mysterious, and directly said the answer, "The best picture is "The Departed"!"
After speaking, Matthew applauded lightly, and according to the words in the string, he said, "Please invite the crew of "The Departed"!"
Led by the two producers, the crew of "The Departed", including Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon, took to the stage in a big way, and even Martin Scorsese, who went backstage, turned back.
Matthew took the Oscar statuette from Miss Manners's hand, hugged the two producers one by one, and then handed the statuette to Brad Gray and flashed to the side to give up the microphone.
It just so happened that he stood with Leonardo DiCaprio.
"Congratulations, Leo. Matthew whispered.
Leonardo DiCaprio lowered his voice and said, "Matthew, you're not hitting me, are you? β
"How come? You invested in the film you starred in and got the best editing, the best adapted screenplay, the best director and the best picture, and the biggest winner tonight. Matthew continued to mutter, "How can you be a frustrated?"
"You understand. "Leonardo DiCaprio is a bit of a loss.
Matthew thought about it deliberately, nodded and said, "I see." He leaned into Xiao Li's ear and continued, "Leo, don't play with the Oscars, what's the point of rushing for awards? Why don't the two of us join forces to make a big production, and play a big one, it will definitely be cool." β
Leonardo DiCaprio whispered back, "You don't want me to be a biker with you, do you? β
Matthew was originally joking, but after saying it, he thought it was a good idea, and his tone was a lot more serious, "We can find someone to write a book like a duel between two heroes." β
Leonardo DiCaprio is so easy to fool, and said, "Come to me when you have a suitable book, I'll see the situation." β
"That's good. Matthew saw that the previous acceptance speech was almost finished, and sped up his speech, "We've made up our minds, and I'll go back and let people pay attention to whether there is a suitable script." β
Maybe it's okay to find a screenwriting team to produce one on the assembly line?
With this in mind, Matthew walked off the stage with the crew of "The Departed", went around the backstage to the exit of the main hall of the Kodak Theater, met Alexandra Daddario, went to the "Oscar Night" party hosted by "Vanity Fair", talked about "I Am Legend" again in the attention of media reporters, and then sent Alexandra Daddario home.
