Chapter 625: You Forgot to Give Your Acceptance Speech
At 6 p.m. in the Pacific Time Zone, the much-anticipated 61st Academy Awards officially kicked off in the Holy Civic Auditorium.
Stars from all walks of life gathered, live broadcast across the United States, and an annual grand occasion in the American film industry. There was no host for the ceremony, and ABC broadcast it live across the United States, attracting many viewers to stay in front of the TV.
After a brief opening speech, Melanie. Griffith & Don. Johnson took the stage to present the first award of the ceremony, the Best Supporting Actress Award.
Zhong Chuhong was a little nervous and grabbed Chen Ping'an's hand. She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "Working Girl".
Chen Ping'an patted her hand and signaled her not to be nervous.
"Working Girl" is also a big nominee for this year's Oscars, with six nominations in second place, but three films tied for the first position, with seven nominations.
Among the Best Supporting Actress nominees, in addition to Zhong Chuhong, Sigourney . Weaver was also nominated for his wonderful performance in "Working Girl". Of the five nominations, "Working Girl" occupies two seats.
It's a pity that all previous Oscars didn't believe in probability, and the Best Supporting Actress was won by Gina in "Unexpected Traveler". Davis won it.
"Ugh."
Zhong Chuhong sighed lightly, missing the award, and his heart was slightly sour.
Chen Ping'an said softly: "Don't worry too much, it's just a supporting actress." β
["If it weren't for the film you directed, do you think I would have had a chance to play the lead actress in Hollywood?"] β
"Then I'll make a film this year, you are the heroine!"
"Really? You don't have to deliberately comfort me, I'm fine. β
"Of course it's true. I had the idea for a long time, and I even had a name in mind. β
"Oh? What kind of subject matter. What's the name? Isn't the actor you? β
For the movies directed by Chen Ping'an, whether it is a Western film or a Hong Kong film. She was all interested. Not to mention her relationship with Chen Ping'an, even if she is just an ordinary actress, she will not miss the opportunity to participate in the movie directed by Chen Ping'an.
Whether in the United States or Hong Kong, anyone who participates in Chen Ping'an's play, even if he is not the protagonist but only an important supporting role, will be a qualitative leap in his acting career. Whether it is fame or salary, it can be greatly improved.
For Zhong Chuhong, there is another benefit, that is, during filming. can always be with Chen Ping'an.
"There is no male lead, because this is a feminist film, and the name is 'Flowers of the End'."
The two soon stopped talking because Gina. After Davis delivered his acceptance speech, the following began to introduce the Best Picture nominated films, the first of which was "The Silence of the Lambs" directed by Chen Ping'an.
This thriller movie has caused heated discussions in the United States.
From the perspective of the movie itself, the narrative of the film breaks through the mode of horror films, and the ingenuity cleverly combines horror films and detective films.
Although the scene setting of the film is dominated by a closed indoor environment. It lacks intense and fiery action, but due to the use of Hitchcockian suspense techniques and the psychoanalysis methods of modern horror films, the plot of the whole film is confusing, and the audience is introduced to a symbolic world of the human subconscious.
Secondly. The use of cinematic language is outstanding.
Chen Ping'an uses a lot of space to show the inner world of the characters and explore the psychological processes of the characters. The dark camera handling, the masterful use of music and the violent shots of non-frontal expressions add to the thrilling tension of the film. The use of his artistic approach is impressive.
Again, the artistry of the film is commendable.
The kind of mental confrontation that emerges from the film, the stark contrast of "angels and demons", the inner philosophy built on a slower pace. All are extremely impressive.
In the end, I can't help but talk about the creation of the characters in the film. From the two "newcomers" starring Anthony Hopkins and Lin Qingxia, both won this year's Oscar nominations for Best Actor and Actress. I can't see how successful the characters in this movie are.
The clips played at the awards ceremony revolve around the heroes and heroines portrayed by Anthony Hopkins and Lin Qingxia.
Lin Qingxia vividly expresses the changes in the feelings and psychology of the characters, making the characters more vivid and touching. And Anthony Hopkins can be said to have reached the extreme of performing arts. Even if he just sits and doesn't say a word in the film, his demeanor also has a strong expressive power.
The introduction of the Best Picture nominee film "The Silence of the Lambs" ended, and technical awards such as the Best Sound Effects Award, the Sound Editing Award, the Best Makeup Award, and the Original Soundtrack Award began one after another.
Interspersed with live performances by guests, introductions to the other four nominated films, as well as various tributes and honorary awards, as one award after another was awarded, near the end of the awards ceremony, the audience finally waited for the first heavyweight award of the night - Best Actor!
Tom of "Flying to the Future". Hanks, Ginn of "Mississippi is Burning". Hackman, Max of "Paley the Conqueror." Feng. Sido, Edward of "Being a Teacher". James. Omos, all of whom are Hollywood big-name actors, are all rivals of Anthony Hopkins.
Award presenter Michael. Douglas was playing tricks on the stage to raise the atmosphere, Chen Ping'an turned his head to look at Anthony Hopkins next to him, and found that the 52-year-old guy's nervous sweat came out, how could he be so free and easy before the award ceremony began?
Michael. Douglas felt that the audience's appetite was satisfied, and finally began to announce the final winners: "At the 61st Academy Awards, the winner of Best Actor is...... Oh cake seller, guess what I saw? β
This is that no one has ever been to Deyun Club, otherwise the audience will definitely be clamoring!
Chen Ping'an couldn't help it, this guy likes to hang his appetite too much, and he is still here at this time!
"I think this winner will make a big mark on the Oscars, because he has set a record, and he will be the winner of the Oscar for Best Actor for the shortest performance in the history. There is no one before, and I am afraid there will be no one who will come after. He is, "The Silence of the Lambs", Anthony. Hopkinsβ"
In fact, halfway through his speech, everyone guessed who the winner was. From then on, Anthony Hopkins became very excited, but because Michael had not finished his words and did not read his name, he resisted his excitement.
When Michael read out his name, Lin Qingxia beside him clearly felt that he was relieved.
In the applause, Anthony walked on the stage and accepted Michael's hug blessings, and as a result, the little golden man who symbolized the actor waved vigorously.
"I thought I was going to go home empty-handed again."
As soon as he spoke, the audience laughed. In all fairness, his performance in "The Silence of the Lambs" deserves his Oscar. Although his role in the film is less than 20 minutes, every time he appears before the end, no matter what he says or not, no matter what he says, no matter what he does, he will leave a deep impression on the audience.
A film critic once said in a film review that his performance in the film starts from every cell in his body, and many people think it is true.
Chen Ping'an also smiled, tomorrow's newspaper will definitely be lively. Nominated for the Golden Globe Awards, won the Oscars, he Chen Ping'an questioned that the Golden Globes were not professional enough, is it wrong?
However, Anthony's next words, Chen Ping'an couldn't laugh.
Thanks to a bunch of people and a pair of institutions, Anthony mentioned Chen Ping'an: "...... Hey Chen, you can get a good night's sleep tonight! Don't worry that tomorrow morning's newspaper will make a front-page headline about you, because your words have come true, and I really became the shortest-performing Best Actor in the history of the Oscars! β
"Wow!"
There was an uproar in the audience, and the lights and cameras were also given to Chen Ping'an in due time, and he could only smile and wave his hand.
Zhou Yanfa glared at the boss and asked Wu Yusen beside him: "Director Wu, is our boss still human?" β
"I've thought about this many times before."
"Is it necessary to think about it now? When did he miss out on such a big thing? β
Anthony Hopkins' award also reminded many people of last year's Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman. Both of them won awards with their superb acting skills, which are convincing. But from a certain point of view, it can also be said that Chen Ping'an has picked up two actors, or continuously!
Americans don't believe in Buddha, but they believe in God, is it God's will? Or is he an angel of God? It's, he's an Oriental who doesn't believe in God, okay!
After Anthony stepped down, he gave Chen Ping'an a strong hug, and whispered with moist eyes: "Chen, thank you for the miracle you sent me." β
This is the first Gao Dynasty at this year's awards ceremony, and after the Best Editing Award, the Science and Technology Achievement Award and the Gordon E. Sawyer Award are over, the real highlight is here!
The five awards of Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Adaptation, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Picture will be announced soon.
First up was the award for Best Original Screenplay, which was presented by Richard Brown. Dreyfus and Amy. Owen co-announced.
The two did not emulate Michael. Douglas made a fool of himself, just watched a few jokes, and announced the winner: ""The Silence of the Lambs", Chen Ping'an! β
This result is not surprising, since Anthony Hopkins won the best actor, many people have realized that this year's Oscars may become the exclusive stage of "The Silence of the Lambs".
Last year's "The Last Emperor" blocked "Rain Man", and this year's "Dangerous Liaisons", "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and "Mississippi is Burning" are on par with "The Silence of the Lambs" in nominations, but lack a film similar to "The Last Emperor" to counter "The Silence of the Lambs".
"Mississippi is Burning" barely has the power to fight back, competing with "The Silence of the Lambs" in Best Director and Best Picture.
"Chen, did you forget to give your acceptance speech?" Amy stopped Chen Ping'an, who was about to step down after receiving the award, and Richard quipped: "He must have been so excited that he forgot his acceptance speech." β
Chen Ping'an smiled and said something that shocked the audience: "Actually, I want to wait for the time to come up again and give an acceptance speech together." (To be continued......) R1292
