Extra seven
Stand-up comedians are very bold, and so is Ellen DeGeneres.
At the end of the ten-minute solo performance, she said: "There are many conjectures about this year's Oscars, everything is possible, the first conjecture is that "12 Years a Slave" won the best picture," and then regardless of the cheers of the crowd in the audience, she continued: "The second conjecture, we are all racists!"
The cheers are even louder!
This must be mentioned in the discussion sparked by "12 Years a Slave" in North America.
A bunch of black actors stood on the stage: "If a film like "12 Years a Slave" doesn't win an award, it's a shame for Hollywood!"
"We should face up to this history!"
Damn, don't you face up to the abuse that the Chinese have been subjected to on the American continent?
Mark Twain once said, "On every sleeper of the Pacific Railroad tracks is the corpse of a Chinese worker." ”
Shouldn't such a history be written about?
I know all day long that blacks and LGBT deserve to have a declining international influence!
In addition, there have been a lot of remarks smearing Xu Hui and "Paradise Cinema", saying that Xu Hui is a racist!
Oh my God, he's a yellow race, who is he discriminating against?
Who told you not to speak for black people?
originally thought that this was made up by Fox Searchlight in order to build momentum for "12 Years a Slave", how could he be racist?
I didn't expect anyone to believe that a bunch of black people took to the streets to protest against "Cinema Paradiso"...
As a last resort, Xu Hui had no choice but to follow Keller's proposal to publicly publish an explanation...
This is so special and too aggrieved!
As a result, the litmus test side violently attacked "12 Years a Slave" on political correctness, and their method was to kill!
All kinds of praise for "12 Years a Slave" is a work tailor-made for the Oscars, desperately praised...
It's best to get the judges to notice...
It turns out to work well, at least that's what Alan DeJanes said!
……
"Cinema Paradiso" nominated five items were awarded later, so, for the first 100 minutes, Xu Hui was in the fugue...
Feel like an outsider!
In fact, all the award ceremonies around the world are not interesting.
Including the acceptance speech, it is the same, thanks to the main committee, thanks to the crew, and by the way, thanks to the family...
It's boring!
In order to attract sponsorship, Oscar was stunned to extend the time to a full 3 hours!
TV stations need sponsorships to make money!
ABC has to pay a huge amount of $75 million a year to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences!
For the Oscars, in order to maintain impartiality, basically no form of sponsorship is accepted in the selection process, so advertising has become the only way to make money in the awards ceremony - simple and straightforward.
In 2014, the average price of an Oscar 30-second ad space was $1.83 million, and the entire ad revenue was $110 million...
Uncle Ge once replied to a reporter, 'When I won the actor, the biggest feeling was that the salary had risen'...
Look, how real!
"Next up is the award for Best Editing..."
"It's time for the best editing!"
Yang Xiaohu reminded in a whisper.
Xu Hui walked out of the state of fugue at this time, and looked up at the two award presenters Anna Kendrick and Gabriel Sdibe who were crossing words in the stands, these two are considered the new generation, and the domestic audience is not very familiar with them.
"Without the keen eye of a professional editor, each film may be as long as 4 hours, and much inferior, every editor can bring the thrill of ups and downs to the film and unremittingly create a sense of rhythm for the film language, it is because of the editor's dedication, a lot of plain film material will be combined into amazing works, the best editing nominations are Joe Walker's "12 Years a Slave", Jay Cassidy "American Hustle", Alfonso Cuarón's "Gravity", Christopher Rouse "Captain Fipley" Xu Hui "Paradise Cinema"..."
"Paradise Cinema" Xu Hui personally served as the editor.
Generally speaking, film directors rarely work as editors, and you will feel that the material you shoot is very good, and you are reluctant to cut it!
As a general rule, if the best editing is awarded to a film, it means that the best film or best director is nine out of ten!
Therefore, several crews are looking forward to it.
"The winner is "Paradise Cinema", Xu Hui!"
Steady!
Xu Hui tidied up his suit, kissed the excited Yang Xiaohu next to him, and went on stage.
"Thank you, thank you Academy and Oscar, thank you to everyone involved in Cinema Paradiso, I love you, thank you!"
After speaking, Xu Hui walked in the direction of the side door.
"Obviously, this is not his acceptance speech, he is waiting for Best Director or Best Picture!"
Sure enough, the next Best Original Screenplay was awarded to Xu Hui.
"Thank you to the main committee, thank you Al Pacino, thank you Matt Silly, thank you Zooe Deschanel, thank you to all the fans who like this movie, and, Matt Silly, I owe you a movie!"
There was a burst of cheers from the audience, and many actors looked at Matt with envy.
There is no doubt that tonight's Oscars, "Cinema Paradiso" will be the biggest winner, even if it doesn't win the best picture, the best actor and best director will definitely be in the bag.
The award for Best Actor was Robert De Niro, one of the four talented actors on a par with Al Pacino!
Of course, according to the usual practice, the eldest cousin of the last actress accompanies ...
However, no one cared about the big cousin and was looking at Robert De Niro.
He came to present this award, which is equivalent to telling everyone that the best actor is Al Pacino!
“… It is a great honor to present this year's Best Actor, and here are the nominees: Matthew McConaughey for "Dallas Buyers Club", Chiwett Ejiofor for "12 Years a Slave", Bruce Dern for "Nebraska", Leonardo DiCaprio for "The Wolf of Wall Street" and Al Pacino for "Cinema Paradiso". ”
Without any nonsense, the eldest cousin opened the envelope and respectfully handed it to Robert De Niro, who glanced at it and looked at Al Pacino: "Come on, old fellow! Congratulations, it's Al Pacino who won the prize!"
Al Pacino also got up with a smile, hugged Xu Hui, and hugged Robert De Niro fiercely after coming to the stage, tidying up a little.
"After acting in movies all my life and meeting countless talented filmmakers, Xu Hui, you can definitely rank in the top three!"
This is a great evaluation, Al Pacino is an actor who has starred in classic movies such as "The Godfather" and "The Line of Fire", and the filmmakers he has worked with are Michael Mann, director Coppola, Sidney Lumet...
Basically, they are all characters that can be written into film history!
“… Thank you to the Academy for awarding me this award, I want to say an anachronistic remark, first of all, film is art, it should not be the spokesperson of politics, if you have to say political correctness, "The Godfather" does not have black actors, isn't "The Godfather" a good movie?"
In the end, Al Pacino lifted the trophy and walked to the side of the stage with Robert De Niro, who did not enter the backstage at either.
The best director was awarded next, and they didn't want to miss the scene of Xu Hui's coronation!
Like Al Pacino, Robert De Niro was of Italian descent.
There is a very boring question on Zhihu: Who is greater, Robert De Niro or Al Pacino?
To answer simply, both of them are great actors.
Michael Mann, the director of "The Wire," who made his screen debut against Pacino and De Niro, once vividly compared the two men's acting styles: De Niro is a Pei-like builder who shapes characters through detail, while Pacino is an interpreter who stares at the canvas for hours and then starts splashing ink, like Picasso.
The period from 1967 to 1976 was the most abundant era in the history of world cinema. The times create heroes, the New Film Movement and the "Four Genius Directors/Actors" have achieved each other together, insert a sentence: Jack Nicholson, who is also one of the Four Genius Actors, has now embarked on the road of no return to prostitution...
……
The Best Director awards were presented to Angelina Jolie and Sidney Poitier.
Sidney Poitier's legendary actor, the first black actor in American film history!
"It's a great honour for me to be here to celebrate this film event with all of you, it's inspiring, and please keep making great films, including Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity, Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave, and the Best Director nominees. O. Russell's "American Hustle", Xu Hui's "Cinema Paradiso", Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street", the winners are..."
Xu Hui was a little nervous.
The most annoying thing is this damn pause!
Can you open the envelope a little faster?
Also, he's going crazy with hunger!
Ellen DeJanes ordered some pizza just now, but out of politeness, he didn't take it, how to say it, this is someone's circle of friends to entertain themselves, don't follow you as an outsider!
“… Xu Hui, "Paradise Cinema"!"
Yang Xiaohu cried directly excitedly, and hurriedly hugged Xu Hui...
“… Don't cry, there's a camera staring at you!"
Whispering comfort, Xu Hui got up, and when he passed by Matt's cute side, he deliberately hugged him.
He took the trophy from Angelina Jolie and shook hands with Sidney Poitier, before the two presenters withdrew.
Now it's time for Xu Hui to say his testimonials!
"Thank you, thank you for giving me this honor," the Oscar statuette felt quite good in his hand, and looked up at the audience: "The first time I participated in the awards season, I knew that being a director in the United States is so tiring, in China, usually after making a movie, only when it is promoted, the director will be used, so I probably understand why many directors can only make one work a year." Fortunately, I won the award, which is really good, otherwise half a year would have been really wasted!"
"Thank you Mr. Al Pacino, without you, it is estimated that this project would have run aground, thank you Matt for being cute, your addition has made this work interesting, and thank you to everyone in the crew, without you, I would not have been able to finish this film so easily!"
"A lot of people don't know me, just introduce yourself, I used to be a member of an idol team, good at singing and dancing, five years ago, no, it was six years ago, I decided to make a movie, many people don't understand, only my agent supports me, Huang Wen, this award is dedicated to you, and I want to say to all the teenagers who are interested in film production: don't give up, if you can't realize your dream, then get closer to it, one day, you will succeed!"
"Thank you to all the fans in China who have always supported me, I love you, my mom and dad, my... Thank you..."
The last sentence was changed to Chinese, and I wanted to say 'My son is many...'
I almost missed my mouth...
The best picture was awarded to "12 Years a Slave"...
It doesn't matter, Xu Hui has already gained a lot.
It can be seen that this year's Oscars deliberately suppressed "12 Years a Slave", nominated for 10 items, and only gave the best picture.
Of course, compared to "American Hustle", "12 Years a Slave" is not bad.
Harvey Weinstein was too proud a few years ago, and the judges of the academy and the Oscars couldn't stand it, so since "The Artist", as long as it is Harvey's main work, it will basically be abandoned by the Oscars...
It is estimated that this is also the main reason why Harvey has been deeply involved in 'sexual harassment' after that - there is no use value!
