Chapter 136: Oscar 1/2
On March 24, 2002, the 74th Academy Awards ceremony was held, Wang Zixuan, Emma, Rupert and Columbus and other crew members attended the ceremony, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was nominated for a total of three Academy Awards, namely Best Art Direction - Stuart Clegg, Best Costume Design - Judiana Makovsky, Best Score - John Williams.
According to the historical plot, Wang Zixuan knows that "Harry Potter" is basically nothing at this year's Oscars, although the first "Lord of the Rings" of the three "Lord of the Rings" is not as high as the box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", but in terms of reviews and awards, it is much better than "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and single-handedly won the 4 awards of the 74th Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, Best Makeup, Best Visual Effects, and Best Soundtrack, and it was in the limelight.
Let Wang Zixuan regret that although "Harry Potter" was filmed in the UK, it did not win any awards at the British Film Awards, I don't know if it is irony or what, in short, "Harry Potter" will face a rather embarrassing situation in terms of awards.
Columbus doesn't seem to be very ideal for winning awards, he brought Wang Zixuan and them here, mainly to let them feel the atmosphere of the Oscars, to some extent, "The Lord of the Rings" is more meaningful than "Harry Potter", "Harry Potter" just occupies a little advantage in fantasy, full of magical scenes to attract a lot of audiences.
If you talk about the best film of this year, Wang Zixuan undoubtedly thinks it is "Beautiful Mind", which is a drama film by a real genius and a very rich person.
"Harry Potter", although it is a magical production, but people can't find anything real meaning from it, but it has the power of magic and fantasy, conquering the audience who appreciate it, but you find that after watching this film, you will not have any emotional outburst except fantasy, which is why it failed to win the award, compared to the award or something, the role played by the "Harry Potter" series of films is more like a gold-absorbing machine.
Spielberg and Haley Joe Osmont also came to the Oscars, and their "Artificial Intelligence" is also a very good film, and there are really many classic films this year, such as "Gosever Manor", "Moulin Rouge", "Black Hawk Down", "Alice", "The Monster Ball", "Monster Power Company", "Shrek" and other films are all well-received movies.
Spielberg took Haley to Wang Zixuan's side, first hugged Columbus, and then pulled Haley to Wang Zixuan and said: "Okay, children, now you have a good chance to ease the previous relationship, you are all quite good children, it is better to be friends than enemies, you are all talents I admire, so I want to see you reconcile." ”
Wang Zixuan glanced at Hailey, although he couldn't get used to him, but Spielberg's face still had to be given, otherwise there would be problems with future cooperation, suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, he stretched out his right hand and said: "HI, hello, I'm Robert, you have performed quite well in artificial intelligence, and it is worth learning from me." ”
"Haha......" Spielberg smiled with satisfaction, patted Haley on the shoulder, and said: "Look, I'll just say that Robert is a good little guy to get along with, reconcile quickly, Robert's hand of friendship has been stretched out." ”
Hai Li Pi stretched out his right hand and shook it with Wang Zixuan without smiling, and said: "Hello, I'm Hailey, thank you for your compliment, I think you should really learn more about filming, Di will make you more progressive." ”
"OK, thank you for the suggestion, I will......" Wang Zixuan squeezed Hailey's hand vigorously, then let go and said with a smile.
Hailey stared at Wang Zixuan hatefully, shook his hand, and then gritted his teeth and said, "No need to thank ......"
Where did Spielberg notice the careful thinking of the two, his kindness only made the relationship between the two more delicate, and they were already looking at each other unpleasantly, where would there be any good feelings.
"OK, I wish you a win......" Spielberg patted Haley on the shoulder and walked away.
Rupert grinned at Haley's background and said, "I really don't like him, Robert, work hard and surpass him ......"
Wang Zixuan nodded: "Hmph, I know, soon I will surpass him, a handsome man like me will be caught up by a person like him......"
Emma pinched Wang Zixuan's face and said, "Hehe, you're still a boy, you're one step away from a man......"
Wang Zixuan's face was embarrassed, and he said: "Eh, don't pinch my face, it's not good to be seen......"
"Well, I know, don't worry, I will be able to fulfill your man's wishes in a few years......" Emma whispered into Wang Zixuan's ear.
"Gollum ......" Wang Zixuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling that some of his lips were dry, too tempting.
Soon, the Oscar ceremony began, and the host Whoopi Goldenberg took the microphone and smiled on the stage, saying: "Today's Oscars may be the most tangled, too many classics, from dramas to documentaries, from magic films to animations, one classic after another was born this year, touching and thought-provoking "A Beautiful Mind", full of magic sè color "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", "Shrek", "Monster Power Company" full of cartoons full of people are also extraordinary, in short, It's a year full of classic films, and what bothers us the most is that there is only one ...... awards"
Everyone nodded, indeed, too many classic films made their hearts surging with cháo, and the release of classics allowed them to enjoy a visual feast, unlike the kind of big-budget films in the previous life, the current films are more focused on quality.
"First of all, tonight's first award, who is the winner of Best Picture, let's take a look at the five films that were nominated: "A Beautiful Mind", "Gosford Manor", "Bad Love", "The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings", "Moulin Rouge", oh, all classic films, so who will win the first award tonight, let's take a look at the jīng color clips of these films before the list is announced......"
Soon the big screen flashed with some jīng canon fragments of the five films, which touched the hearts of all the audience, and the directors and leading actors of the five films on the guest stage were also nervous, and their hearts might beat much faster at this moment.
Rupert pouted and said: "Why is there no us, our film is also very good, I think we should be nominated for ......"
Columbus shook his head, patted Rupert on the shoulder, and said: "Oscar's choice does not speak to the box office of the movie, although last year's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was indeed the top box office in the world, but compared with other films full of life philosophy, it is still much worse, compared to the life philosophy of "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter" is more devoted to the fantasy and mysterious wizarding world, and the philosophical meaning cannot be found. ”
"Well, that's true, although the Oscars have the characteristics of 'going with the trend', but they don't all take the box office as the main observation point, but analyze it from a more rational perspective, as Columbus said, "Harry Potter" focuses on the meaning of fantasy adventures...... "Wang Zixuan nodded and said.
Emma nudged Wang Zixuan lightly, pouted and said, "You can't say something nice, don't you want us to win the award?" ”
"Okay...... I also hope that we will win the award, this year's Oscar judges may be dizzy, I think next year they will be a little more sober and award the award to us, maybe Emma will be the best actress......" Wang Zixuan spread out his hands and said, helpless, the sky is big, Emma is the biggest.
Emma nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's pretty much ......"
Then one award after another was awarded, and these awards had nothing to do with Wang Zixuan, and none of the three nominated awards was even more disappointing to the "Harry Potter" crew, Columbus and they were not in a good mood, Emma's small mouth was almost unstable, and she kept pouting, and her angry look was obviously clearly written on her face.
In the end, Wang Zixuan could only end with regrets, the box office champion film did not win an Oscar, which is more like a huge irony, Columbus regretted coming to the Oscars, and knew that it was better to continue filming "Harry Potter" in the UK to catch up with the process.
……
Back at the hotel, Wang Zixuan and Mary Jane met, the filming of "Happiness Terminal" was about to come to an end, Mary Jane reported to Wang Zixuan about the recent operation of Xuanyuan Pictures, "Happiness Terminal" as the first film of Xuanyuan Pictures, Mary Jane naturally put a lot of effort into it.
Although Wang Zixuan let Spielberg be fully responsible for the filming of the film, Mary Jane is still not at ease, and she has to keep an eye on the filming process of "Happiness Terminal" every day, of course, in addition to these things, there are many things worth her busy about, "Naruto" is released in rì, so Mary Jane opened an animation production and distribution company in rìben, and recruited local personnel to produce cartoons.
The release of "Happiness Terminal" is also a problem, although there is Spielberg, a gold medal director, as a signboard, the quality of the film cannot be reduced, and many companies are willing to show the film in their theaters, but the problem of sharing needs Mary Jane to do, thanks to her being from a British aristocratic family, she has some potential for business, otherwise she really has no way to start.
