Chapter 348: The love scene is proud
ps: The old rule, today there are twenty monthly passes five more than 18,000, in addition, today is Monday, I try to ask for a recommended ticket to see, but also to encourage it, now there are more than 2,000 votes away from 30,000 recommended votes, if it is reached today, then, it is also five more, if it is reached together, I think, you know, I am not a discounted guy, ten more send! Let's warm up first!
After Whoopi Goldberg's simple and witty opening remarks, the ceremony moved on to the official awards section. &*οΌγγοΌ Fastest update**Chen Jin has seen the list of nominees for this conference before, and has also seen some media reports, obviously, what he remembers is similar to the media reports, and the most beautiful things this year are "Schindler's List", "The Philadelphia Story", "Sleepless in Seattle", "Farewell to Love" and "Jurassic Park".
From the names of these five films, it is not difficult for you to see why Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks will be the two brightest stars tonight, "Schindler's List" won ten nominations including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Music Song, Best Sound Effects, Best Makeup, etc., while "Jurassic Park" was only nominated for three awards, including Best Sound, Best Sound Editing and Best Visual Effects, But it has a global record box office of nearly $900 million.
One was the most artistically successful, the other was the most commercially successful, and Whoopi Goldberg had just said that he was the perfect combination of art and business, and that he was the most beloved director of all the studios.
As for Tom Hanks, he starred in last year's blockbuster and award-winning "The Philadelphia Story" and "Sleepless in Seattle", and President Clinton, who just took office last year, was his loyal fan, and he also attended the presidential dinner at that time, which can be described as a moment of limelight.
The Academy Awards, like other award ceremonies, are small awards at the beginning, of course, occasionally there are some more important or high-profile awards sandwiched in, so that everyone is not too bored.
"Jurassic Park" won Best Visual Effects, "The Philadelphia Story" went to "The Philadelphia Story" for Best Original Song, and "Schindler's List" went to Best Original Score, and at first, it was not surprising that Steven Spielberg's Dance of Victory began to kick in.
After the three awards were awarded, and at the end of the end, the lights hit the host stage of Whoopi Goldberg Station again, and I only heard her say slowly, seemingly very serious, "Tonight, we want to decipher a production process that is full of mystery, and is always frightening or frustrating, boring or happy, emotionally impermanent and even breaking, it is filmmaking." β
Everyone laughed, she grinned, showing snow-white teeth, particularly eye-catching, "The playwright with endless imagination, with their unique words to show us the characters, plot, and even mood and style of a movie, this is a magical process in itself, with them, there are wonderful pieces, let us instantly experience the joy, anger and sorrow, thank them." β
When she said this, the lights dimmed, and the people went down, but the other stage was lit up, and the two macho men Schwarzenegger and Stallone actually stood up, and the two of them obviously came to present the award for the best original screenplay, but their images are too incompatible, one represents wisdom and the other represents muscle, which is really interesting.
The organizer really put a lot of thought into it, the two of them just stood on the stage, and before they spoke, everyone was happy, applauding vigorously, Chen Jin and their side were the same, after a while, they stopped, Schwarzenegger spoke first, with a smile, "Obviously, everyone also has a certain recognition of the wisdom of the two of us." (Baidu search ", watch the latest update of this book)"..., everyone is happy again, but Schwarzenegger still laughed and Stallone came to givemefive, again, Stallone simply put it on, "The great screenwriter Charlotte BrontΓ« said: A writer with creative talent must have something he is not very good at. β
He was talking, but Schwarzenegger was looking at him, as if he was adoring, and at this time, Stallone finally couldn't say any more, turned his head, looked at Schwarzenegger, and said very seriously, "Don't fall in love with me because of this, I'm serious." β
Everyone finally couldn't help it anymore, burst into laughter, applause also rang out, and the two muscular men also came to givemefive again, and they couldn't be excited.
After laughing, I began to watch the list of nominees and short films, and there was a simple and short comment, "The Fake President", "The Philadelphia Story", "Sleepless in Seattle", "Piano Don't Love", and finally "The Seven Deadly Sins", the Oscar judges commented on "The Seven Deadly Sins" is: The seven original sins are rampant in the world, in this materialistic world, too many people have lost themselves and cannot escape the fate that seems to be predestined, and John Doy's moral makes us silent.
The most tense moments come, and it seems that each of them is strong, especially "The Philadelphia Story" and "Sleepless in Seattle", which are classics among classics and Tom Hanks' masterpieces.
Schwarzenegger opened the envelope and spoke, "There's a guy I know here, a little villain, and a super genius," pulled out the list, and the words came to an abrupt end, and Chen Jin knew that he was out of play.
Sure enough, Schwarzenegger glanced at the audience, didn't know who to look at, handed over the list of winners to Stallone, and then said loudly: "Congratulations on "Piano Don't Love". β
Chen Jin was a little surprised that "The Seven Deadly Sins" did not lose to "The Philadelphia Story", nor to "Sleepless in Seattle", but to "Piano Don't Love".
However, it is not surprising that director and screenwriter Jane Campion presents an almost perfect women's film or coming-of-age film, which shows a spiritually self-sufficient woman who struggles to reconcile with the world, something unique and tempting for the Oscar judges, or indeed for the judges of all the film awards shows in the world.
The first nominated award was gone, and then there were a bunch of awards that had nothing to do with Chen Jin and them, and there were no special features, and it was almost halftime before Whoopi Goldberg stepped forward again to play treasure, "The hands of the film editors are like a pair of magician's hands, magical, and full of magic." β
Saying that, this guy actually shouted at Chen Jin again: "Hey, King, can you show us a super handsome guy with a super genius hand, I heard that you also have a nomination." β
The camera turned, Chen Jin stretched out his hand helplessly, a pair of hands as slender as jade, each finger is so even, one more point is fat, one less point is thin, there is no flaw, when the camera gave a close-up of his hand, a small exclamation sounded at the scene.
Just like that, you can make money as a hand model, Whoopi Goldberg pouted, "Jealous guy, is there anything else you don't look so perfect, like you have quirks and like a fat big sister like me." As he spoke, he deliberately twisted his body and posed a very coquettish pose, which amused everyone.
The award was presented to two guys who Chen Jin was not very familiar with, and as usual they said something that seemed interesting, but it was obviously not as interesting as the part between Schwarzenegger and Stallone, and then, as usual, they looked at the list of nominees.
"Schindler's List", "In the Name of the Father", "Piano Farewell", "Sniper in the Line of Fire", and finally "Seven Deadly Sins", the short comments on the nomination are: Seven days, seven heavy rains, seven o'clock, the city shrouded in haze, the dark room, the dark life, every detail is perfectly presented, giving everyone the greatest shock and deep thought. ..., seeing "Schindler's List", Chen Jin surrendered as soon as possible, this is not because he is not confident or everything else, the simple reason is that all this is in the hands of those guys on the Oscar jury, and he can't control it.
And the guys on the Oscar jury have their stubborn and sticking to the rules, like "Schindler's List" that they like, and the results of the previous awards have also shown a certain trend.
There is no accident, it is "Schindler's List", Chen Jin's second nomination also missed, and the second award for Best Editing is the award of Best Foreign Language Film, and this time, Chen Jin still failed to turn over and lost to "Farewell My Concubine" at the same table.
To be honest, Chen Jin was mostly relieved that the best foreign language film lost to "Farewell My Concubine", not because he also invested in this movie, but because he saw that his family had such a performance, and the most local characteristics were awarded, and he was honored.
After the three awards related to him were awarded, Chen Jin was not interested, not because he didn't win the award, this kind of occasion was actually not interesting, and few guests could have a very brilliant performance, so that everyone was really happy.
The end result was naturally Steven Spielberg's big win, winning eight awards including Best Director and Best Picture for "Schindler's List", and Tom Hanks also won his first Oscar for "The Philadelphia Story".
The winners can attend the dinner, and Chen Jin, one of the biggest investors in "Farewell My Concubine", is eligible to participate even though he did not win a prize, and of course, most importantly, he is very welcome by the organizers.
Chen Jin doesn't particularly like this kind of entertainment, but if you want to develop here, interpersonal relationships are absolutely indispensable, as the saying goes, you can only have friendships when you come and go, and if you don't see people often, no one will see you in the end.
There are many big names at this kind of banquet, James and Edward are also there, and there are also high-level executives from Paramount, Columbia, MGM, Warner, 21st Century Fox, Lionsgate and so on.
When Chen Jin appeared, he actually became a very high-profile figure for a while, which is probably because of his five movie scripts, of course, the previous success is the cornerstone.
Edward, the old fox, is interesting, Zhang Xiao's kid is very irresponsible, he became Chen Jin's leader, and took him to know the senior executives of one company after another, like a spokesperson for Chen Jin, making Chen Jin cry and laugh, and he originally planned to talk to the senior executives of those companies about the details, but now there is no chance.
When he arrived, Edward looked at Chen Jin and pulled him aside with a smile on his face, "King, I've read your five scripts, it's really super, I think, as long as it is filmed, there will be at least a billion dollars at the box office, nay, I am a very generous person, and I am also very willing to help friends, in this way, if you think it is not appropriate to divide the benefits equally, then we can divide it into four or six, how about you get a large share?" β
Four or six points, this is the producer's money, plus his distributor's money, Universal actually got seventy percent, and Chen Jin only got thirty percent, and the most important thing is that he is unwilling to cooperate with the Universal family, not only the problem of the incident, but also that he has other purposes.
"Billion?" Chen Jin chuckled, "Mr. Edward, I'll make a bet with you, if it's less than $1.5 billion at the box office, I don't want you a penny, but if it's more than $1.5 billion, then we have four or six cents before a billion, and the rest after a billion, you don't want a penny, how about it?" β
Edward was not fooled, laughed, and patted Chen Jin on the shoulder, "No, King, I think you heard it wrong, I said at least one billion, including 1.5 billion, of course, what I just want to express is that as long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we can give the greatest sincerity, including everything in the movie promised before is up to you." To be honest, Edward's attitude made Chen Jin very moved and happy, thought about it, and said very sincerely: "Mr. Edward, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with your company, these five films, I hope to have multiple productions at the same time, instead of one or two,"
Pointing to his own head, "Mr. Edward, whether you believe it or not, I still have a lot of strange ideas in my head, for example, I am chatting with you now, I have thought of a good script and lines, and it is guaranteed to be appreciated, that is, I will have a large number of scripts in the future, one after another, think about it, do you still worry about not having a good book, perhaps, I can promise again, the cooperation between us will continue happily, and Universal will definitely be our first choice." β
Edward didn't believe it, but he couldn't believe it, and asked suspiciously, "You mean one after another?" Chen Jin smiled and nodded, "That's right, think about it, when the five films are filmed, there will be five waiting for us immediately, then, do you still think that you must hold all the rights and interests of these five movies in your hands now, perhaps, there will be better ones in the future!" β
Regardless of whether Edward completely believed Chen Jin's words, however, it was obvious that Chen Jin's words had an effect, and in the next few tense days, he, Zhang Xiao, and Yang Junchao visited Paramount, MGM and other companies again, and had preliminary intentions on some things, specifically, Zhang Xiao was in charge.
Chen Jin's time is very tight, "Jedi Men 2" is still in the midst of intense filming, and he has to rush back after staying for just five days.
was going back in the afternoon, Helen was still staying at Zhang Xiao's side, and Zhang Xiao was just going to talk to Paramount Pictures in the morning, so he asked Chen Jin to pick up Helen from him, but when Chen Jin arrived there, Zhang Xiao said that he had just taken Helen out to buy something and would be back soon.
He didn't send it to Chen Jin himself, but asked Chen Jin to pick it up, which was a problem in itself, Chen Jin found out at that time that he might have something to say, but now he didn't even have a person, but no problem, he was not in a hurry, and he was not afraid of anything.
Walking out of the villa, walking slowly along the road, so lonely and alone, free, no one knows, the feeling of walking quietly is actually new and unique to him now.
I walked quite far and was about to turn back, but I saw a familiar figure on the opposite side of the corner, his eyes lit up, and he called out in surprise, "Hi, Jennifer!" ββ¦β¦οΌ
