As the 80th birthday of the Oscars, the awards ceremony is naturally indispensable for some commemoration and retrospectives, and almost every important award is presented before the montage of past winners, in addition to interspersed with clips of many famous winners, especially those Oscar couples. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, for example, were talking in front of the big screen on stage, and the organizers gave them more than a minute to seem to be erecting a model Hollywood couple.

Among these people present, only Murphy knew that it would not take a few years for the couple to intensify their conflicts, especially Michael Douglas's remarks, which almost pushed the couple to the point of divorce.

To this day, Murphy still vaguely remembers the biggest gossip in Hollywood around 2010 in his previous life, Michael Douglas, who had recovered from throat cancer, was interviewed and revealed that the main cause of cancer was the female population. Infection with HPV virus, more said to continue to carry out the mouth. Jiao helped his condition, causing the outside world to suspect that his movie star wife Catherine Zeta-Jones may have been infected with the HPV virus, which indirectly caused him to suffer from cancer......

And Michael Douglas's eldest son, who also seems to be an addiction. Gentleman?

Looking at the couple on the Oscar stage, Murphy's heart suddenly moved, maybe this is their chance?

That thing was poisoned. The product rises, and then by the poison. Returning the product seems to be the best way?

Murphy frowned slightly, this kind of thing can't be rushed, just like he told Robert Downey Jr., to be calm and calm.

Later, the Academy's rotating president, Frank Pearson, took to the stage and gave a brief explanation of the Oscar judging process with the help of a picture from the big screen, and the Academy seemed to want to make a name for itself in this way by turning the Oscars into a money and PR game that has become louder and louder in recent years.

It is also interspersed with the words of many judges such as George Clooney, John Travolta and Michael Bay, and if understood by these people, the Oscars are definitely fair and unbiased.

Unfortunately, for people in the industry, everyone knows that under the glossy appearance of the Oscars, there is a place where all kinds of transactions such as sex, money and connections surge, and excellent works and roles are just the most basic conditions for entry.

Brad Bird, one of the interviewees in the video, also deliberately showed a hilarious scene, covering his eyes and throwing a pen at the list full of nominations......

He is a good illustration of the well-known way of voting with your feet.

"A secretary prints out the final statistics, seals the envelope, and then pulls her out and shoots her, and we take the envelope, and the results are absolutely confidential."

In a burst of laughter, the session ended and the award ceremony was back on track.

The awards are moved out one after another, although "Man of Steel" is limited to the genre of science fiction and superheroes, and will inevitably be despised by the academy, but the film's reputation and box office results are here, and they can't not pay attention to it at all, this is Hollywood after all.

There is no surprise that in the technical awards, "Man of Steel" won the best visual effects and the best sound effects two small statuettes one after another, which can be called the big winner in the technical category.

As for heavyweight awards such as acting awards, there are no actors in "Man of Steel", so naturally there is no chance.

It is too difficult to expect a purely commercial film to win an Oscar, although the academy continues to recruit new members, but as time goes by, it is an indisputable fact that the old men at the core are getting older day by day, and they will only be more conservative in the future, as evidenced by the results of the past awards.

They will be influenced by PR and various exchanges, but only if they match their aesthetics, or at least be close to them.

Oscar's position is eccentric, it wants ratings, and keeps a distance from business, it wants art, but it doesn't dare to overdo it, it can only be ambiguous. They call it academic, but what is academic? Maybe the ghosts know, or maybe they can't tell it themselves.

Murphy only knew that they were just as kitsch, but in a more conservative way.

For example, the industry has been calling for an increase in the award for the best stunt coordinator, after all, this position has become an almost essential part of Hollywood movies, but the old men on the academy's executive committee have always disagreed.

The old men at the heart of the academy, who always say they appreciate the stunt coordinators' contributions to the film, are reluctant to make any changes, and even if the stunt coordinators will make concessions and accept the award before the Oscars that are not televised, they still insist that the award will not be created.

Stunt coordinators play an important role in the film and have their own unique contribution to the filmmaking.

In a crew of Murphy's type of director, the stuntman is always a very key presence.

They specialize in designing a variety of complex and dangerous action scenes in film and television productions, including car chases, fights, explosions, underwater operations, water diving, and more, which are then completed by stuntmen or professionals.

So far, the stage is not very lively, and the reaction of the audience is a little cold, if it is not for the camera lens staring, I am afraid that many people will yawn.

With the passage of time, the judges who were still young in the nineties have also become old, which directly leads to the eighty-year-old Oscar, who is getting older and older year by year, perhaps the academy is also aware of its own problems, so it specially recruited Jon Stewart, the host who is quite appealing among young people, but still failed to save this doomed and dull awards ceremony.

"The Oscars awards ceremony is going downhill year by year, and the judges are not even willing to use their brains to think of a better idea, probably thinking about going home and sleeping after the awards."

Hearing Meghan Fox's boring complaints, Murphy felt that it was not unreasonable.

If the Academy and the Oscars don't actively reform themselves in the future, it won't be long before they can even slip out of the top five or even the top ten in North American ratings.

How embarrassing would this be for Hollywood?

After years of evolution and rehearsals, the Oscars have basically achieved the superficial staggering, fine clothes and food, each star seems to love peace and all mankind, and constantly thank the judges and parents.

Under the programmed scene, the rules and unspoken rules have reached a certain degree of unity, and the insiders have nothing to say - even if a box office hit film fails to win, the winning art film will definitely be able to win, and vice versa.

But the audience doesn't want to see this, what they need more is the excitement of freshness and surprises, and what they need is that the films and actors they recognize can win awards.

However, the Oscars do not change by the choice of the audience, and it is not the 'Teens' Choice or the 'People's Choice' after all.

"Director Stanton."

A staff member walked over and whispered to Murphy, "It's almost time for the award for the best art direction." ”

"Thank you." Murphy stood up, buttoned up his suit, and followed the staff through a special passage to the backstage.

He was the guest of honour at the Best Art Direction award tonight.

Entering the backstage, Murphy took an envelope and a string of words from the director's hand, he glanced at it, quickly wrote down the strings, and then listened to the director explain a few precautions, and followed the staff to the entrance of the front desk.

Just like the lines of the movie, the words spoken by the Hollywood guests are carefully prepared by the program organizers, and it is taboo for the Oscars to talk about the strings casually, and basically all the guests will make appropriate interpretations in their own way according to the prepared strings.

Many Oscar producers tend to warn stars who have just become famous and are eager to be in the limelight not to be the presenters if they don't follow the prepared strings.

Hearing Jon Stewart's voice in front of him, Murphy stepped onto the stage at the right time, and on the big screen in the background of the stage, there was a classic shot of "Gone with the Wind", Murphy waved frequently, walked to the front of the stage with full of vitality, turned slightly, looked at the background picture of "Gone with the Wind" and said, ""Gone with the Wind is the first film to include the best picture, the best cinematography and the best art direction. And it was brought to life by the art director and the photographer......"

He paused slightly, and said to match the scene lit up in the background of the stage, "After that, there are masterpieces such as "Ben Hur", "Lawrence of Arabia", "Schindler's List" and "Titanic......

These are all carefully prepared strings of words by the organizers, and Murphy has hardly changed anything, "This year, there are four films nominated for more than three awards, so let's get started." ”

His expression turned serious, "The nominees for Best Art Direction were Robert Stormerberg for 'American Gangsters,' Stephanie Macmillan for 'Sweeney Todd,' Eve Stewart for 'Blood Is Coming,' Jace Gondrow for 'The Golden Compass,' and Helena Espora for 'Man of Steel.' ”

After reading the list of nominations, Murphy opened the envelope directly, "The winner is Helena Espora of "Man of Steel". ”

"Man of Steel" won another statuette, but unfortunately Helena Espora did not attend the awards ceremony when she set up a montage in Paris, and her agent finally accepted the award on her behalf.

Murphy left the stage and walked backstage, returning to his seat by the time the ceremony was at the end of the awards ceremony, and the Coen brothers became the biggest winners of the Oscars, and as he remembered, the brothers won Best Director and Best Picture for "No Country for Old Men."

After the awards ceremony, Murphy did not go home, for publicity reasons, he went to the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel to attend the Oscar night party hosted by "Vanity Fair", and continued to make a high-profile appearance in front of the media.

At the party, he also met Mr. and Mrs. Michael Douglas. (To be continued.) )
