Chapter 533: Submission (II)

The crew of "400 Years of Shock" was a little expectant and a little uneasy.

In fact, last year's films, its impact is not small.

It turns out that in the movie, which castle is gloomy and ugly. It may be that the budget is tight, and it is possible that the director deliberately exaggerates some eerie atmosphere. Obviously, the effect is not very good, not only can not satisfy the audience's visual enjoyment, but also weakens the impact of the ending, at least Li Default is a good thing that the protagonist is dead, and there is one less scourge in the world.

It doesn't make sense logically, as an old monster with an extraordinary background, rich and living for hundreds of years, doesn't he pay attention to the enjoyment of life at all?

So Li Mo made some modifications, because the protagonist is a vampire and doesn't want to attract the attention of the outside world, the decoration outside the castle is average, but it is not as tattered as the original movie, but the inside of the castle is very luxurious.

There are also some eerie scenes, but the overall style is luxury and sadness, and some of the protagonist's ferocity and disgusting scenes of eating insects in the cell are reduced, so that the audience can reduce their disgust with the protagonist, and the style is also the same, so at the end of the movie, many viewers burst into tears again.

Some people directly said that it can't be regarded as a horror movie, let alone a bloody vampire movie, but an authentic magical romance blockbuster, and its artistic value is not much better than "People and Ghosts".

The two protagonists, Winona Ryder, the fiancΓ©e of Pitt and Depp, became famous overnight and became the object of many advertisers and Hollywood.

However, in this award, it has a strong opponent, that is, the French blockbuster "Big Nose Love Saint".

Annette Bening opened the envelope and said loudly: "400 Years of Shock." ”

The crew of "400 Years of Shock" stood up and cheered together.

But Columbia and the crew of "400 Years of Shock" also know in their hearts, although it has a big response, but its subject matter is exactly the most unpopular one among these academic judges, although someone is sent today, I have long been ready to accompany the prince to study.

Although it was a small prize, it was also a bonus.

Luke Markey walked up excitedly, picked up the little golden figure, and said: "More than a year ago, the boss called me and said, your ancestor was an English gentleman who was exiled to the United States because of bankruptcy. But I think you must still have the luxury and elegance of the nobility in your blood, and it just so happens that luxury and elegance are the keynote of the costume design of this movie. ”

You can understand the meaning of his words, the time and space where the story takes place, it is the time period when the Western powers plundered the wealth of the colonies around the world, and the industrial revolution, many Western aristocrats are richer and focus on enjoyment, so in that era, European clothing design also began to degenerate, and many clothes are still very beautiful and elegant in the eyes of later people, so that many designers continue to find inspiration from the clothing of that era, and the fashion industry calls it retro.

Of course, no one would have thought deeply about the blood behind this history of prosperity and luxury.

The first thing was normal, and the next time, Luke Markey was incoherent.

"Thanks to the boss, he has a pair of eyes that discern the heart, he has the wisdom of the sea, he is my idol......"

Li Mo held his head depressedly and lowered his head.

Many viewers were amused when they saw this.

However, there are also some people who know the truth, not only Li Mo gave Malki this opportunity, but also guided the tone of his design, the reason why Li Mo made Marki and many designers in Yili admire, there is another reason, that is, Li Mo painted, locked in the big safe in Yili's office. That is, the cheap beauty is now expanded, and more than half of the clothes designed are inspired by Li Mo's sketches.

But genius, it's definitely not the same as others.

Just a moment, Benin coughed.

From the first edition onwards, each winner will give a thank-you speech. But in 1942, Greel Garson, who won the Best Actress award for "Mrs. Minifer", was so excited that she said something like thank you for an hour.

Later, the thank-you speech was limited to two or three minutes, and since the live television broadcast, the time for the speech has been even shorter, less than a minute.

Malki gushed out his admiration for Li Mo, and thanked his colleagues for their help, which passed a minute early.

Therefore, Benin was invited directly.

Malki was a little anxious and said, "I haven't thanked my family yet." ”

Everyone looked at his ramming sample, and the audience was happy.

Li Mo continued to cover his face.

But he neglected to think of a problem.

Compared with the previous year, the order of awards has obviously been greatly adjusted.

This is also normal, the order of the Oscars is often adjusted, and it is completely different from the later award ceremonies.

But does it mean anything else to put the costume award in front?

For example, for the sake of ratings, according to the news Li Mo heard, because last year's "Ghost Love" was all nominated for several awards, many viewers were dissatisfied, and some people proposed to refuse to watch this Oscar.

The Oscars ceremony was first broadcast live on national radio at the earliest of $100,000 in 45 years, and was won by NEC at a high price in 52 years to implement live television. It was recaptured by ABC in 60 years, NBC in 70 years, and returned to ABC after 74 years. After the implementation of live television, the price rose to a million dollars, and now the price is getting higher and higher.

ABC has a high price and will undoubtedly pursue ratings, which will put some pressure on the Oscar jury. The fact that the costume designer is from Yili means that these Oscars will not have any discriminatory behavior.

He was thinking nonsense, the awards continued, and then the award for best original soundtrack, "Dances with Wolves" came out of the encirclement...... In short, blockbusters with themes like this kind of big background, big era, and positive energy are generally the favorites of academic judges.

"Dances with Wolves" has a big scene, a big theme, and an equally majestic soundtrack, and it is not surprising that it won in the end.

John Barry went up to accept the award, but the camera was focused on Li Mo again, and now three awards are being awarded, but they are all related to Li Mo.

This was followed by an honorable mention, which was awarded to Sophie Loren, an actress 30 years later who made a name for herself in the sixties and is still active in Hollywood. However, there were two honorable mentions decided on this occasion, and the latter one was even older, born in 1905 named Mauna Roe, but it was her turn to appear after a while.

Li Mo is not familiar with these two actresses at all, but they are seniors, Li Mo has to show respect and also give warm applause.

Jeff Bridges introduced the Best Picture nominee film "The Silence of the Lambs", not that it has already won the award, but the five Best Picture nominees will be introduced, and it can also be said that in a sense, they represent the five best films in the whole of North America last year.

In fact, another time and space is not "The Silence of the Lambs", but "The Godfather 3".

The Godfather trilogy is mythologized in China, but in the eyes of Americans, the first two parts are admitted to be good, and the third part has been extinguished both at the box office and word of mouth.

Because director Coppola was pulled by Colombia to shoot "400 Years of Horror", this movie has not yet been filmed.

But since the release of "400 Years of Horror", Paramount and Coppola have begun to prepare for this film again.

"The Godfather 3" Li Mo knows, but he definitely doesn't remember which year it was filmed, even if he knows, it's none of his business, he won't participate, and he won't express his opinion.

When it came to the Best Short Film award, the winner was "Mistaken Meal".

Michael Caine introduced the early computer commemorative clips, and went to another small award, the sound editing award, and the winner was "Hunting the Red October", in fact, the film is also good, but the box office is not ideal.

The heavyweight award has arrived, the Best Director award.

Li Mo thought about the order of the later Oscars, and thought to himself, the difference is really big.

The nominees are Kevin Costner, director of "Dances with Wolves", Jonathan Demmy, director of "The Silence of the Lambs", Francis Ford Coppola, director of "400 Years of Horror", Martin Scorsesese, director of "Goodfellas", who is also a famous director, and the later "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Shutter Island", as well as "Twist of Fate" director Barbett Schroeder.

If the Oscar jury does not discriminate, the latter three can be ignored.

Li Mo was also curious.

In his heart, these two movies are of the same magnitude, one is slightly lacking in breadth and more than depth, and the other is slightly lacking in depth and more than breadth.

The award was presented to Tom Cruise, who also looked at Li Mo curiously, as well as Demi and Kostner, and thought to himself, this is really a difficult choice.

Soon he opened the envelope and said, "Jonathan Demy." ”

Li Mo sneered in his heart, sure enough, these pretending movies are the favorite of the Oscar judges.

The viewers of the television set also have this idea.

The truth is not like this, one is that compared with Jonathan, Kevin's qualifications are obviously insufficient, it can only be said that he is not very old now and has a lot of energy, so he is very dedicated when shooting this movie, and the funny thing is that he also listened to Li Mo's advice and made a cameo in the important role of Lieutenant Dunbar. Second, it's about balancing.

However, if Kevin Costner is really chosen, more viewers will speak for Jonathan Demmy.

The crew of "The Silence of the Lambs" was overjoyed, and stood up one by one and applauded wildly.

Jonathan gave a speech and also thanked Li Mo, don't look at Li Mo didn't write a specific script, but he wrote a lot of things, including the tone of the movie, the things that must be paid attention to during shooting, and the psychology and expressions of each character. In a sense, it can be said that Li Mo drew all the lines, and the rest was just filled in with colors.

Diane Ladd of "Wild at Heart" won the award for Best Supporting Actress.

When it came to the more dispensable science and technology awards, a group of children's choirs took to the stage to perform.

The second heavyweight award came out, the Best Actress award.

Jodie Foster won the award after beating out four others, including Roberts, the heroine of "Pretty Woman."

Le Yijuan whispered, "Reagan?"

Li Mo nodded.

It was because of this female star that Reagan was assassinated. But Le Yijuan has a similar aesthetic point of view to Li Mo, and he doesn't think she is beautiful, at least he can't assassinate a president for her.

But her professionalism made Li Mo very admirable, in order to make this film well, the main creative staff all went to the FBI to experience life on the spot, Judy deliberately met with her prototype, federal agent Mary Krauss, the two communicated for a long time, and even Judy followed Mary to make field observations, which made the heroine vivid, and won the Golden Globe Award and the second Oscar.

Fox rejoiced, danced on stage, and then Robert De Niro introduced the Best Picture nominee "Dances with Wolves."

Then there is a more overlooked small award, the Visual Effects Award, last year won this award is Lao Ka's "Abyss", next year it will be Lao Ka's movie "Terminator 2", this time in history, because the films are a little poor in visual effects, this award was replaced with a Special Achievement Award, the winner is Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sharon Stone starring in the sci-fi film "Total Recall", also known as "Cosmic Dragon".

Because of Li Mo's promotion, the scene of "400 Years of Horror" is larger and more gorgeous, and a lot of special effects shots are also used, becoming the final winner.

Limer was at odds with Sony, but not with the various executives in Colombia, on the contrary, many of them were his friends, so he slapped politely.

Next up may be an award that is even more unfamiliar to many viewers, with Owen A. The G. Tolberg Memorial Award, which is an award dedicated to "producers who have produced several high-quality films", but it is not given every year, and it was awarded less than thirty times in '91, and this year it was awarded by David Brown and Richard Brown. D. Zanuk, both of whom are famous directors and producers in Hollywood, and the two have collaborated on many films.

They are also the objects of Li Mo's attention, and they have also had some contacts, and both of them have some funds to operate in Li Mo's three funds, of course, Li Mo has also made a lot of money for them.

Seeing the two of them winning this award, Li Mo applauded eagerly and sincerely.

The original screenwriting award has nothing to do with the three films, they all have it, but Li Mo bought the copyright of his film, Li Mo wrote the outline, and then the film companies sent people to write detailed scripts, and then made into a movie, and the winner was "Avalon".

"Dances with Wolves" won the award for best sound.

The third most nominated winner, Dick Tracy (aka Detective Supreme), won the Best Art Direction (Prop Set) award.

Continuing to introduce the best film nominated, in fact, it has also been changed here, and it was originally going to be announced here, considering that the film directed by Li Mo was also encircled, and the people of the organizing committee moved it to the back.

An honorary award was also given to Mauna Roy.

"Dick Tracy" won the makeup award again, but the crew was also unhappy, these are small awards, although it is better to win than not to win, but it has little influence.

"Dances with Wolves" won the award for Best Cinematography.

"Food, Clothing, Housing and Transportation" won the Best Animated Short Film award, and 02 years later, the Oscars set up another animated feature film award.

Another heavyweight award came out, and as Li Mo expected, Anthony Hopkins won the Best Actor award.

It is useless for Donny to fight again, it can be said that it is Anthony who has made "The Silence of the Lambs", otherwise don't compete for awards and high box office, it may not be as good as Li Mo's overhauled "Four Hundred Years of Shock".

"Dances with Wolves" won the Best Editing Award, but there were two winners, one is Paramount's editor Neil Travis, and the other is Limer. But Li Mo did not take credit and took the initiative to put his name behind.

Neil Travis also realized after taking the stage, saying that his credit is not as great as Li Mo's, and Li Mo should come up to accept the award.

Li Mo sat in front of him, and he said, "It's okay, I'm an amateur, and you're a professional, so you don't have to be modest." ”

The original song was won by "Dick Tracy".

"Dances with Wolves" won again for Best Cinematography.

Michael Douglas has traditionally expressed his remembrance of filmmakers who have died in previous lives.

Madonna performs "Sooner or Later" (Dick Tracy interlude)

By this time, the awards ceremony had almost come to an end.

Next, "Dances with Wolves" won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, and two people won awards, Michael Blake and Li Mo, but Li Mo still took the initiative to put his name in the latter place.

This is the award for Best Foreign Language Film.

The big screen released five films, Switzerland's "Journey of Hope", France's "Big Nose Love Saint", this film also won four other nominations, the fourth big nominee, but it is also the saddest film tonight, five nominations, none of which won, as well as Germany's "I'm Not a Bad Girl", Italy's "Open Heart", and Li Mo's "Railroader".

But what Li Mo didn't know was that if it weren't for his "Railroader", Lao Mouzi's "Ju Dou" would have won this nomination.

The trailer of "The Railroadman" is also the most touching scene of the film, the scene of father and daughter embracing each other in the snow.

After the movie was released, seeing that the response was good, Li Mo didn't pay attention to it anymore because he didn't have the heart or liver.

But it did cause a great sensation, of course, as a literary film, or a purely oriental literary film, I don't think it can achieve a high box office, if it weren't for Li Mo's selling point, maybe not many audiences went to the cinema to watch, but the mainstream media in the United States gave a relatively high evaluation, saying that although it is full of Oriental introverted and subtle, but its iron man tenderness is still deeply moving.

Dustin Hoffman opened the envelope and read out his name: "Railroadman, Lee, you're the biggest winner tonight." ”

In an instant, Li Mo thought a lot.

Indeed, he is the biggest winner tonight, "The Silence of the Lambs" won three heavyweight awards, "Dances with Wolves" also won five awards, and "400 Years of Shock" also won two awards, but these two awards are what he is most proud of, because in his previous life, "400 Years of Shock" did not win a single award, and he did not even have a nomination in his memory. Although it is two small awards, it is also the work of his modification.

and this Best Foreign Language Film, if there is no accident, the Best Film is also in the bag, which is equivalent to something related to him, won a total of twelve awards, and all four awards were won.

Don't think it's fair, in fact, as a film market, Americans are very xenophobic, and few foreign films can do well in the North American market. I don't believe that if I direct "Forrest Gump" and hang up a Chinese production company, even if it is myself, I am afraid that what will be ushered in is not praise, but all kinds of ridicule.

At present, there is a proof that the French film "Big Nose Love Saint", which won five nominations, has a good reputation and large scenes, and used 5,000 actors to shoot it, and only 2,000 sets of costumes were used. Under the influence of Li Mo, the scenes of "400 Years of Horror" are also large, and there are a lot of costumes used, but only half of the number of others, it can only be said that there are more special effects shots in 400 years of Horror. It has won numerous awards in Europe, but it has not won any awards this year. What Li Mo didn't know was that it had also won an award in his previous life, a very light clothing award, and that's it.

Its box office can also be seen, in France its number of moviegoers is nearly five million, which is equivalent to one in ten French people walking into the cinema to see the movie.

But in North America, it only sold $5.8 million at the box office.

While there are some responsibilities on the part of the issuer, it can also be seen how the North American market is exclusive.

The box office of Li Mo's two films is good, but it is not that the audience fully accepts his films, one is his fame in North America, and the other is that several major film companies are all supporting him in order to tie the knot, if it weren't for these two, the box office might have to be divided by ten and divided by twenty.

In the eyes of the audience, this year's judges may be very fair, but it seems to be fair, but in fact, these judges have succumbed...... No wonder the organizing committee deliberately sent someone to invite him, and said that he had to come.

Why?

There is no love for no reason, there is no hate for no reason, there is always a reason for everything.

What is the reason for this?
