464 [Lonely Little Golden Man]
The 50th Academy Awards, like Parallel Time and Space, was held in July, and the host remained the same. Hope, the old guy, except that the award venue has changed from the Los Angeles Music Center to a Chinese theater.
Moderator: Bob. Hope is 75 years old this year, a comedian by training, and a serious salute drew laughter. Just like the Spring Festival Gala in the mainland, Uncle Zhao Benshan was full of laughter and applause as soon as he appeared.
Wang Zijun is also laughing, what a coincidence, he participated in the Golden Globe Awards ceremony for the first time a few years ago, and it was also Bob, an old guy, who was the host.
Before the laughter fell, Bob. Hope then asked, "Hey, do you know why this year's Oscars were postponed by three months?" ”
The news of the postponement of the Oscars this year has been spread by the outside world, and the people below are all big-name stars in the film industry, so they naturally know some of the situation. But they know Bob. Hope would not be so serious, and replied cooperatively, "No." ”
Bob. Hope snapped his fingers and said, "The cause of the incident is simple, it has to start with two Hollywood directors......
Hope's serious appearance made the people below gather their spirits to listen to him: "As we all know, every state in the United States has received reports of UFOs and aliens this year. Why are there so many UFOs found by citizens today? It is because of these two directors that two alien movies were filmed last year. These two films reveal the core secrets of the aliens, which attract the attention of extraterrestrial visitors, who come to Earth in UFOs to investigate. Unfortunately, our Mr. Frank, as president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (the organizer of the Oscars), received a lot of attention, and he was invited into an alien craft and almost sliced ......"
"Hahaha......" Everyone in the audience laughed, and some even clutched their stomachs with tears streaming down their faces.
Due to the hits of "Star Wars" and "Contact of the Third Kind" last year, people across the United States have claimed to have seen UFOs and aliens this year, and have gone to great lengths to report them to the authorities. Today's American newspapers have a news about the discovery of UFOs in a certain place every three or five days, and these initial exciting news have long since numbed Americans.
And the U.S. government is not idle, and it actually followed suit, releasing the top-secret archives about UFOs since the 50s. This move has made many people who are skeptical become confused and do not know whether it is true or false.
Anyway, there is a lot of gossip about aliens in the United States this year, but no one thought that Bob. Hope actually linked the much-rumored alien incident to the postponement of the Oscars.
Bob. Hope followed the stalk of this alien and washed the Oscars alive before finally announcing the start of the awards.
The first was the Best Art Direction and Prop Set Awards, which were nominated for five films: "Star Wars", "77 Aeroport", "Contact of the Third Kind", "007: Underwater City" and "Turning Point".
The guest of honour was actress Hera from the United Kingdom. Bailey, she opened the envelope and read out the results: "The winner of this year's Academy Award for Best Art Direction and Prop Set is - "Star Wars" John Brown. Barry! ”
Directed by George. Lucas stood up and talked to the award-winning John Brown. Barry hugged and the latter excitedly ran up to the podium.
It was just a warm-up, but it bode well for Lucas, as Star Wars got off to a flying start.
Next up are the awards for Best Cinematography, Best Supporting Actress, Best Animated Short Film, Best Animated Feature, Best Live Action Short Film, Best Documentary Short Film, Best Documentary Feature, and many more. Among them, the award for best cinematography was won by "Contact of the Third Kind". Lucas and Steven. Spielberg drew 1-1. …,
And Wang Zijun still took duck eggs empty-handed.
The Best Cinematography Award is about to be announced, and the first chance to win "The Shawshank Redemption" has arrived, along with "Contact of the Third Kind", "Turning Point", "Julia", and "Looking for Mr. Guba".
Wang Zijun sat with Erlang's legs crossed, and the two photographers from D&T next to him couldn't sit still. They were nominated for an Oscar for the first time and were looking eagerly at the presenters on stage.
Unfortunately, the award presenters disappointed them: "The winner of the best cinematography was Vilmos of "Contact of the Third Kind". Zigmund ......"
"Alas!"
"Shit!"
The two photographers sighed and cursed, but Wang Zijun smiled bitterly, this time, don't take a duck egg back. You must know that "The Shawshank Redemption" in another time and space won 10 Oscar nominations, but in the end it didn't win a single award. And now, he has only received 7 Oscar nominations, and because he is Asian, it is difficult to say the result.
"The Shawshank Redemption" in another time and space met the "Forrest Gump" against the sky, but he encountered two cow films "Star Wars" and "The Third Kind of Contact", as well as the ballet "Turning Point" that caused a social phenomenon in the United States, and "Annie. Hall.
Annie. Hall or many people have never heard of it, but its director is Woody. Allen, the character who won the Oscar and got a soft hand.
If you follow the normal trajectory, "Annie. Hall will win four awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay under the joint strangulation of "Star Wars", "Contact of the Third Kind" and "Turning Point", becoming the biggest winner of this Oscar. The glasses that have shattered other filmmakers and media.
Wang Zijun sat there with a slight apprehension, and the award ceremony continued.
Soon, the Black Dude nomination for Best Supporting Actor was lost, and Best Original Score and Best Film Editing were also snatched away by Star Wars.
What made Wang Zijun speechless the most was that even the best original screenplay was won by Woody. Allen's Annie. Hall" was won, and the award ceremony was more than half of the ceremony, and "The Shawshank Redemption" didn't win a single award.
Oscar's water is so deep!
Last time, Wang Zijun's "Ghost Love" won the Best Actress and Best Visual Effects awards, and the Best Visual Effects Award was naturally because of the special effects inside, and the Best Actress was mostly seen in Audrey. Hepburn's face. Winning these two awards, for Wang Zijun, can't prove anything.
In this year's Oscars, although Wang Zijun has expectations for the Best Director and Best Film awards, he believes that the most promising award is the Best Original Screenplay.
It's a pity that "The Shawshank Redemption", which pursues freedom, friendship and redemption, has a plot of ups and downs and suspense. One of Allen's romantic comedies was taken away.
Damn, there's definitely something greasy in there!
If it weren't for the Oscars, Wang Zijun would have just thrown his hands and left.
Wang Zijun's face was very dark, until the winners of Best Director and Best Actor were announced, and Wang Zijun's face was already covered with dark clouds.
Best Director was awarded to Woody. Alan took it, what George. Lucas, Steven. Spielberg all pulled aside. And the best actor is Richard in "Goodbye Girl". Dreyfus.
"Hell!" Robert. De Niro cursed under his breath. With "The Shawshank Redemption", he won two consecutive Best Actors at the Golden Globe Awards and the Cannes Film Festival, which has made him more confident, thinking that this Oscar winner is none other than her. Dreyfus. …,
Lucas and Spielberg were also a little unhappy, and the award situation was not as they expected, but they were just unhappy, both of their films successfully won several Oscar statuettes, and even the organizing committee awarded "Star Wars" and "Contact of the Third Kind" Special Achievement Awards.
Only Wang Zijun's "The Shawshank Redemption" has not been awarded, oh no, and "Turning Point", which made a big splash at the Golden Globes and was nominated for eight Oscars, also failed to score a goal.
The reporters in the awards hall couldn't help but turn their cameras to the directors of the two films, Wang Zijun and Herbert. Ross.
Wang Zijun's face was cloudy, Herbert. Ross had a straight face, and everyone could see the depression on his face.
"The next is the last award of this year's Oscars - Best Picture. Among the nominees is "Annie. Hall", which tells the story of the young Jewish Elvi. Singh lives alone in New York, and his diminutive ...... Annie. Hall is not about jokes, but about the contradictions and weaknesses of human nature, and it is not just a comedy film, but also a film that discusses the concept of love. In the movie, many scenes are shown in a relaxed way, which seems intimate and natural, just like the life scenes around the audience......"
On the screen, "Annie. The clips of Hall", the laughter that appeared from time to time made the people present laugh, but none of the people on Wang Zijun's side could laugh.
They have 7 nominations for their films, and now they haven't won a single award, and although they still have one Best Picture left, it's almost hopeless - have you ever seen a film at the Oscars that won only one Best Picture?
No, absolutely nothing.
The previous Oscars for Best Picture, even if they couldn't win awards such as Best Director and Best Actor at the same time, at least they would be paired with a certain technical statuette.
The award presenters also introduced the Best Picture nominees: "Star Wars, a sci-fi blockbuster that is ahead of its time, the Galactic Republic is overthrown by a rebellion that takes place in the galaxy......"
After that, "Turning Point", "Goodbye Girl", and "The Shawshank Redemption" were introduced.
Wang Zijun watched his movie clips appear on the screen, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous, he put "The Shawshank Redemption" on the screen for 20 years, and actually repeated the Oscar tragedy of this film.
Many people say that the reason why "The Shawshank Redemption" ranks first in the film rankings of later generations and countless god films is because many fans think that it should win an award but does not win a prize, and it is this tragedy that makes the myth of "The Shawshank Redemption".
However, Wang Zijun doesn't want to be a tragic hero, if possible, he is more willing to see others become tragic heroes.
Is this possible?
It's completely impossible, the previous award was not won, then it means that the organizing committee has given up on this movie, and a fool will have hope that "The Shawshank Redemption" will win the best picture.
Wang Zijun turned his head to look, only to see that the award hall was crowded, and everyone's expressions were so rich and hypocritical. Suddenly, Wang Zijun had the feeling that God was looking down on all beings, and he suddenly jumped out from the perspective of all living beings.
The Academy Awards are just set up by a group of grandsons, who are also people, and Lao Tzu is still a person from the future, why would he be emotionally fluctuating by an award set up by a group of people whose vision is not as good as his own?
Thinking of this, Wang Zijun exhaled and smiled, there was mockery in that smile, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at others or laughing at himself.
Go to the Oscar, Wang Zijun is like a monk with an epiphany, looking at everything in front of him like watching a play, and his emotions are no longer affected by the trophy.
The award for Best Picture was Oscar-winning actress Jane. Wyman, who was also the ex-wife of future U.S. President and now Governor Reagan. …,
Simple. Wyman carefully opened the envelope, a look of surprise on his face when he saw the contents.
The surprise was not faked, but spontaneous, and it made the hearts of several nominee filmmakers tighten.
"Oh, that's amazing!" Simple. Wyman laughed, her eyes swept downward, "It was ...... who won the best picture at this Academy Awards."
Wang Zijun is still sitting so gracefully, but listening to Jane. After selling the pass, Wyman said loudly: "The Shawshank Redemption!" ”
There was applause in the hall, and Wang Zijun, who had just thought that he shouldn't be able to accept the trophy and had mood swings, was stunned for a while, not only him, but many people were stunned.
Because no one guessed that the best picture actually gave "The Shawshank Redemption".
"Is it compensation?" Wang Zijun was amused, but he stood up, hugged Lazim and the others one by one, and then walked on the podium calmly. Not as a director, but as a producer.
"Congratulations, King!" Simple. Whitman handed over the little golden figure to Wang Zijun.
"Thank you!" Wang Zijun hugged the 60-year-old veteran actress, and then held the trophy high below.
After a burst of flashing lights, Wang Zijun laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "To be honest, this trophy came too suddenly, and I was completely unprepared." Now I finally believe what Mr. Bob said at the beginning, that the postponement of the Oscars this year does have something to do with aliens. It should be that aliens control and change people's minds through magnetic fields, otherwise, how could this year's Oscars be so strange that they actually gave a movie a lone best picture......"
Wang Zijun's words caused a burst of laughter, and also made some people's expressions a little ugly.
