Chapter 280: Oscar Night (2)
The Kodak Theatre is an iconic building on Hollywood Boulevard. www.biquge.infoThe Kodak Theatre, built in 2001, has been a fixture for the Academy Awards since it opened. This huge theater has 3,400 seats, which is enough to accommodate all the guests attending the ceremony. After all, Oscar doesn't just get in casually.
As one of the most watched crews of this Oscar, the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was arranged in a good position. Gu Wenwu looked at the people around him, and on his left and right were the crew of "No Country for Old Men" and "Michael Clayton", both of which were shortlisted for Best Director. He was behind and after the crews of "Blood is Coming" and "Sweeney Todd", both of which were shortlisted for Best Actor. When I looked up, there was a fixed camera pointing at this side, recording every move in the area.
"I feel like I'm surrounded." Gu Wenwu's expression was a little weird. If this fights, then you will be invincible with two fists and four hands.
Well, Gu Wenwu didn't know why he was still thinking cranky at such a tense moment. In fact, at this time, cranky thinking is not a way to eliminate stress. After all, caring is messy.
"What's the matter, even Brother Fa, you, are you nervous?" Gu Wenwu turned his head to look at Zhou Yanfa who was sitting next to him, and found that his little thumb was moving, and couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Yunfa is indeed very nervous, of course, he behaves very calmly in front of the camera, but Gu Wenwu is a director and is best at observing the details of actors.
In front of Gu Wenwu, Zhou Yunfa naturally didn't hide anything: "It's a lie to say that I'm not nervous, but now what I have in my heart the most is not nervous, but an indescribable feeling." ”
Gu Wenwu didn't interrupt Zhou Yanfa, and listened to him continue: "I'm not afraid of Gu Dao's jokes when I say it, I left so many things behind and came to Hollywood, but when I arrived in Hollywood, I realized that this is a place where newcomers are not welcome, in the past few years in Hollywood, I have really not lived well, and my life in the past few years is completely two extremes compared to my life in the past month, so I can't tell what kind of mood I am in now." ”
Gu Wenwu can fully understand Zhou Yanfa's complicated feelings. Thinking about why he became a gunman in the first place, he didn't have a similar situation to Zhou Yanfa. It's just that the difference is that Zhou Yunfa has the capital to insist, and he has to give up in order to survive.
Zhou Yunfa realized that he was a little distracted, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't talk about this, Director Gu, I heard that you are going to compete for the honorary director of the Star Review Association after this Oscar, is it true?" ”
"Yes, Director Gu, I also heard the news, if you succeed, you will be the youngest honorary director in the history of the Star Review Association." Zhang Ziyi also came over.
"Haha, I thought so, but it's obviously impossible, what do you say is going on with people now, just can't see others?" Gu Wenwu said.
"Why is it impossible, if Director Gu wins the best director this time, why can't it be like the Li case?" Zhang Ziyi said.
"Haha, let's talk about it when we get it." Gu Wenwu laughed.
Gu Wenwu was talking and laughing here, which naturally attracted the attention of the people next to him. Due to the problem of language, they didn't know what Gu Wenwu was talking about, but this did not prevent them from guessing.
"This director of Xia Guo is smiling so happily on such an occasion, does he think he has won?" Paul Thomas Anderson thought unhappily.
He is the director of "Blood is Coming", which was shortlisted for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, and the limelight is not inferior to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". He did not intersect with Gu Wenwu. The reason why he was unhappy with him was only because Gu Wenwu robbed him of the cover report of The Hollywood Reporter once.
"Is this the young director of the Xia Kingdom, really young." Ethan Cohen, the younger brother of the Coen brothers, whispered.
"I really admire him, he can be so relaxed at the Oscars." Brother Joey Cohen Dao.
The people invited by the Oscar organizing committee to attend the ceremony, in addition to the shortlisted crews, also a large number of performers and award presenters, as well as major sponsoring brands. Sponsoring brands will also invite celebrities who endorse their brands to participate. In short, there are enough people to fill the entire Kodak theater. Fortunately, not everyone is qualified to walk the red carpet, and the red carpet of the Oscars is also divided into star channel and guest channel. So the process of the red carpet has not been reduced to a grandmother's footwrap, which is stinky and long.
As the last group of guests walked through the red carpet, the first small climax of the Oscars also came to an end. The live TV footage also moved to the interior of the Kodak Theater.
Before, the stars walked the red carpet one after another and didn't feel anything, but when these people gathered together, they could immediately feel the grandeur of this awards ceremony. Elites from all over the world gather together to witness the annual event, which makes people feel excited to think about it.
After a little more than a minute of opening video, host Jon Stewart walked into everyone's eyes in a suit. As the star host of the famous talk show "The Daily Show" in the United States, Jon's ability to control the stage is undoubted. It is necessary to speak well and freely.
Not surprisingly, Jon put his first ridicule on a Hollywood screenwriter. Previously, due to the Hollywood screenwriters' strike that lasted for more than three months, the Golden Globe Awards died halfway, although the Academy Awards were held as scheduled, but they were also greatly affected, for example, the Hollywood dinner known as "Vanity Fair" was forced to be canceled.
Immediately afterwards, he ridiculed the four actor candidates. After some ridicule, the atmosphere immediately rose.
"Next, our first guest of honor, Jennifer Garner." Seeing that the heat was almost over, Jon didn't have much *** and directly started the presentation of the first award.
Jennifer Garner is well-known in the country, and it would not be wrong for her to present the first award. Dressed in black, she walked up to the microphone with an envelope in her hand and said the award speech that had been prepared for a long time.
"As a fashion designer, you must be proficient in fabrics, art and ......" she handed out the award for the best fashion design.
Coincidentally, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was shortlisted for this award. Tim Yip's breathing became a little heavy.
"Director Zhang, the best costume design "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been shortlisted, do you think you can win the award?" Seeing that the first award was about to be announced, Jing Wei was inexplicably a little nervous.
"Mr. Tim Yip is a first-class art director in China, and at the same time, his fashion design ability is also widely recognized by the industry, but whether he can win the award depends on whether Mr. Yip's style can be accepted by the Oscar judges." Zhang Xilou Road. For the award of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he has always had a very calm attitude.
Capital. Tang Wei, who had been watching the live broadcast, couldn't help but get nervous after listening to Zhang Xilou's words. Although this award is not Gu Wenwu's, it belongs to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". If you can win this award, it will be a good start.
There are many others who are just as nervous as her. Everyone was attentive and waiting for the final results to be revealed.
