826 Dancing at the Tip of the Knife

Lance was thinking that, according to the course of history, the 78th Oscars became the birthplace of the greatest injustice of the Academy Awards in the 21st century. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Brokeback Mountain", which swept the entire awards season and attracted a lot of attention in the world film industry, but because of the sensitive and sensitive theme, many academy judges even refused to watch this work, refusing to review this work from a fair and objective perspective, which has become a joke - only three years ago, the academy judges awarded the Best Director Award to Roman Polanski, the Polish director who is still wanted by the United States because of his fetish/child/fetish, but now, The same group of judges avoided it like a femme fatale because of a gay-themed movie, and they didn't even have the courage to watch it.

In the end, the Oscars awarded Best Picture to "Crash".

Objectively speaking, "crashing" is really good, presenting the topic of racial discrimination in a very flattering way, and truly showing the face of Los Angeles's cultural melting pot. This work is indeed easy to win the hearts of the academy judges, especially in Los Angeles, the home of the Oscars, especially in Los Angeles, and the work itself is good, and finally overturned "Brokeback Mountain", but it is an unexpected and reasonable result.

But time will always give the right answer, just as "Shakespeare's love history" can't block the light of humanistic care of "Saving Private Ryan", "Crash" is gradually submerged in the long river of history, but the artistic value of "Brokeback Mountain" is polished more and more brightly. In 2015, The Hollywood Reporter, an industry magazine, invited hundreds of college judges to re-vote on some of the most famous wrongs in Oscar history, and "Brokeback Mountain" topped the list.

Maybe "Crash" is a masterpiece, but "Brokeback Mountain" is a classic.

At this moment, Lance personally sat in the Kodak Theater, watched the 78th Oscars live, and even became one of them, this feeling is quite magical, due to the appearance of Lance's little butterfly, the pattern of the awards season has inevitably shifted, which has led to the current strange situation, which makes Lance can't help but think, if "Crash" still goes to the end, and "Brokeback Mountain" goes hand in hand, competing for Best Picture, then what will be the result this time?

However, before Lance's mind could turn a corner, Jessica's voice on the stage pulled him back to reality, "The winner is, Lancelot Strello, 'Fruit Hard Candy'", he won the prize? To be precise, he won another award? And what about the "crash", and what is it all about?

Once again, the wheels of history seem to have shifted.

Compared with Lance's surprise and doubt, the others around him seemed much calmer, and the applause gathered one after another, although they did not stand up, the thunderous applause still came like a stormy wave. No one can deny that even in the case of George Clooney's strong public relations, even under the joint siege of Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures, Lance still showed incredible tenacity, tearing through the blockade and fighting his way out.

In the confrontation between Lance and George, in the confrontation between Lance and Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures, and in the confrontation between Lance and the Academy, the balance of public opinion quietly tilted, perhaps because of the confrontation between Lance and Wall Street, film companies, and interest forces as an independent individual, which made actors, directors, and screenwriters feel the same way; Maybe it's because of the moral kidnapping after the burglarization that everyone really realizes the uneasy conscience, or maybe it's because Lance's outstanding talent has won again and again, which makes people yearn, long, and admire...... But whatever the reason, they voted in their hands and expressed their attitude in such a way.

In this contest of great disparity in power, standing on the stage is Lance.

Lance buttoned up his suit, his fingertips were rough but delicate, and the rhythm of his heart beating violently was transmitted to his temples with blood, and that sense of reality was transmitted through his feet. Then Lance saw Jessica, Jessica Alba, who was still beautiful.

Jessica's smile was a little jerky, obviously she still hadn't cultivated at home, and her stiff expression easily revealed the intricacies in her heart. As if he didn't notice Jessica's tightness, Lance smiled and stretched out his right hand, standing two steps away from Jessica politely.

It's like a world away. Looking at Lance in front of her, Jessica suddenly had the illusion that they hadn't met since the end of the "Sin City" promotional period, and she didn't expect that meeting again would be on the stage of the Oscars, an occasion where two people would never meet, she was the guest of honor, he was the winner, and she witnessed him create glory again - after this turbulent awards season.

The disordered breathing and the burning of her skin made her a little embarrassed. She didn't know what she was thinking, to be more precise, her mind was blank, not nervous, not expectant, not excited, not shy, not disgusted, not hateful, not liked, maybe both, maybe neither, just all the emotions were mixed up on the tip of her tongue, which made her overwhelmed.

The blue eyes flashed slightly, and Jessica shook her head, and then realized that she was actually holding the little golden man, which had not been awarded to Lance. Jessica hurriedly handed the little golden figure to Lance, her fingertips touched the broad palm, a little cold, and a little damp, but she quickly shrank back as if she was burned by the flames, and raised her head, but she only saw Lance's side face, he didn't pause at all, after taking the little golden figure, politely let go of half of his body, and turned to face the audience.

Jessica didn't have time to collect her emotions, so she subconsciously squeezed out a smile at Lance, and then politely pushed to the side to get out of the way. After regaining her position, Jessica looked at the blackened audience at the bottom of the stage, but out of the corner of her gaze she saw the alienated and cold back, still a distance that could never be reached. Take a deep breath, then take another deep breath, still disorganized, but the beating heart gradually calms down.

"Phew, this was a huge surprise, I almost threw my fist in Noah's face, so, sorry, man." An understatement of ridicule began, Noah Baumbach, who was sitting at the bottom of the stage, raised his hands high and responded with applause, and the rest of the audience couldn't help but laugh, "It's not an easy task to create this script, and although I would love to take all the credit, I reluctantly admit it, Brian Nelson, thank you for writing the first version of the script, it's a bit of a pity that you weren't able to make it to the scene, and join me to receive the award, don't worry, I'll send you a check when I get back......"

The applause was thunderous, and even whistles and cheers joined in, not only because of Lance's witty tone, but also because of the deep meaning contained in the sentence - everyone seemed to have forgotten "good night, good luck", but in fact no one had forgotten it. The reason why there are so many surprises during the awards season is that the plagiarism gate is an important turning point; The reason why "Hard Candy" was able to beat "Crash" to win the Best Original Screenplay Award, and "Good Night, Good Luck", the script that won the nomination, was so great because "Good Night, Good Luck" was artificially forgotten after being hacked from the door, but no one should forget Lance's talent in this script and the damage caused by the burglarization door.

At this time, Lance specifically mentioned the writer of the first draft of the "Hard Candy" script, Brian, in his acceptance speech, which is obviously of great significance.

George Clooney, who was sitting at the bottom of the stage, broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and he wanted to tear Lance's throat, gnaw Lance's bones, and drink Lance's blood. Lance is already on the podium and has already won this duel, but Lance is still not satisfied, and still wants to kill them all, once again awaken the memory of the plagiarism, and really knock him into the dust. George only felt that the burning gaze was constantly pulling at his soul, tearing it into countless pieces, and the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow made the muscles in his body tense to the extreme, so that he began to tremble, but he had to grit his teeth and keep smiling.

The more moments like this, the more he must maintain a calm demeanor, like a knife dancing wildly.

"And Alan Peggy, I haven't forgotten your contribution and thank you for not giving up during the filming process, but coming up with your own ideas to make the script more complete." Lance's smiling words were like a sharp dagger, stabbing hard at George's chest, once, again, "I still remember the first time I wrote a screenplay, creating a real world with my own hands, and then creating vivid characters, watching them gradually take on their own personalities, become alive, and experience the life I have experienced, what I have not experienced, what I longed for, what I feared, and what I had forgotten." I'm lucky enough to have met great directors for all the stories I've created and made them into ......."

Before he could finish speaking, the applause and laughter from the scene broke out, and Lance currently wrote the script, and there is only one director, and that is himself-by the way, everyone seems to have forgotten "good night, good luck" at the moment, and Lance himself couldn't help it, but he continued, "I made a work that everyone can like." So, I think I'll continue to create until I come across Magnolia. ”

After saying that, Lance nodded to everyone with a smile, took a step back, politely extended an invitation to Jessica, and the two of them left the stage back and forth - just like receiving the Best Supporting Actor award just now, gentlemanly and unhurried.

The audience at the scene was stunned for half a second, and then they realized what "magnolia" meant. In Charlie Kaufman's genius script "Adapted Screenplay" based on a Hollywood screenwriter, the male protagonist falls into a madness because he wants to adapt a script about magnolias, and forces himself into a labyrinth of endless loops step by step.

Clearly, Lance is paying homage to Charlie Kaufman.

After understanding, the applause roared again, from the heart. (To be continued.) )
