readx;?β Wow, Duke is the best director! β
On the other side of the Pacific, Duke was the most popular director, and when the results of the best director were announced, the Internet suddenly boiled, and the group dubbed "Duke Blow" by many people began to leave messages everywhere. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info [Full Text Reading]
"This is the second best director statuette, Duke has surpassed James? Cameron is up! β
"At the total box office, Duke has long put James? Cameron is far behind. β
"Duke is the first director in Hollywood."
"The great Duke, the great director Rosenberg, he doesn't need any awards at all, his greatness has long been recognized by fans all over the world!"
"It's a pity that the box office of a single movie is still not as good as James? Cameron ......"
Seeing this sentence, Wang Ziming couldn't help but sigh, as a 10-billion-dollar director, the box office of a single film cannot occupy the first place, which can be said to be Duke's biggest regret.
When will Duke finish the match against James? Cameron's "Titanic" and "Avatar" surpass the box office?
This is one thing that Wang Ziming is very interested in.
Thinking of this, he quickly switched back to the live screen, after all, Duke's acceptance speech had not yet been said.
On the stage of the Kodak Theatre, Duke has been from Catherine? Bigelow took over the Best Director Golden Man in his hands, and with her and Hillary? Swank gave a gentle hug and stood in front of the microphone in front of him.
His PR manager, Pani? Kelis had formulated his acceptance speech a long time ago, and there was nothing surprising about this acceptance speech, in the words of the other party, the Oscar stage should also pay attention to creating an image, and some strange words are not suitable for this kind of occasion.
Duke agrees.
"Thank you all! It was a really wonderful moment! I will never forget it in my life! β
Looking at the little golden man in his hand, Duke looked very excited, and was actually full of recalling the acceptance speech he just watched last night, "Thank you for the college's affirmation of me, I think it's really incredible to win the best director of a science fiction film." β
The little joke immediately drew a burst of laughter from the Kodak Theater.
"There are so many people I want to thank for always showing up at every important moment in my life."
Restrained his expression. Duke said unusually seriously, "Tina? Fei, thank you for helping me with every job; Nancy? Josephson and Pani? Kelis, you are the best; Charles? Rowan and Robin? Grande. Without you, there would not be a smooth shooting of every film; Zack? Schneider, Hannah? Serena, Anna? Prinz, Jos? William, Jimmy? Carter and John? Schwartzman, everyone on my team, you are the best people in the world to work with......"
Estimating the time, Duke sped up slightly. "I also want to thank my mother, Leah? Rosenberg, you are the best mother in the world! And my girlfriend, she put in unimaginable effort for this film, you are the best actor! β
"Thank you to everyone who loves me, thank you!"
The audience burst into applause again, Duke left the stage and walked towards the backstage. Johnson hugged him tightly.
The two didn't say anything. But all of this was communicated enough in the hug.
Then came the routine post-award interview, and Duke prepared a whole bunch of clichΓ©s.
The awards are still ongoing, and there is only one last award left at this year's Oscars - Best Picture!
"Duke? Rosenberg's award is not so much about how good his work is, but more about the achievements he has accumulated over the years......"
Wang Ziming, who paid attention to the online live broadcast, heard the comment of the expert named Zhang Yibai again, "Compared with other nominated directors, his qualifications and commercial achievements are among the best, Hollywood is a commercial circle after all, and business can sometimes decide many things." Therefore. Just because he won Best Director doesn't mean Gravity gets Best Picture, and I think There's still hope for Social Network......"
On stage at the Kodak Theatre, Steven? Spielberg was already standing on it. The envelope was being opened, "The winner of Best Picture is "The King's Speech"! β
See Harvey? Weinstein appeared on the Oscar stage again, and the people in the Kodak Theater suddenly had a feeling that the four most important cakes were divided equally between the two crews......
After the interview, Duke did not leave the backstage, and soon saw Harvey walking in? Weinstein. The two didn't make any communication, just showed a tacit smile.
They were also the big winners tonight and achieved their goals.
On the Internet on the other side of the Pacific, many people can't accept that "The King's Speech" won the best picture in the end, and in the eyes of most people, this film is too mediocre and lacks enough highlights.
As a guest of the live broadcast, Zhang Yibai began to talk again, but compared with the previous unreliable remarks, Wang Ziming thinks that what he said still has some truth.
"David? Who is Finch? At the age of 49, he became the chief cinematographer of independent films at the age of 17, and then worked in the technical world of ILM, advertising, and MTV for many years. But the fact that he has not yet been favored by the Oscars is, in fact, embarrassing for both. β
"David? Vinci is not David? Lynch-style alternative director, he is not a typical independent film director, he is not a B-level interesting director, and he is not the kind of director who takes expressing his own will as his own responsibility, David? Fincher has never deviated from the mainstream Hollywood course, but he is still unclassifying among mainstream directors, and he makes star-studded genre films that are not so commercial; He takes the technical route, and he doesn't look like James? Mellon is leading the new trend like that, and he is still very old-fashioned in his bones; He is skillful, but not so conventional; Say he's a craftsman, and he's not like Lang? Howard is so active, his films are quite recognizable, he can be called an 'author', and he is not a real author like the old Woody. β
"Lost to Duke in Best Director? Rosenberg, there is nothing to say about this, after all, the other party's prestige, fame and achievements are there, but if you lose to "The King's Speech" in the best picture, then you can't fail to mention a point, the strong PR behind the best picture! β
"Speaking of which, we have to mention the famous - or the infamous Harvey? Weinstein. What this movie boss is best at is to turn films like "Shakespeare in Love" and "No Country for Old Men" into best films. Paltrow became the actress with the worst acting skills in history. β
"David? It's no surprise that Fincher chose to film Zuckerberg's story. His previous films, without exception, have focused on rebels and outsiders, and he tells how killers and anarchists hide in dirty little houses and basements, turning the world that excludes them upside down. Zuckerberg, John in "The Seven Deadly Sins", and Taylor in "Fight Club" are all the same crazy men and boys with different faces. β
"He's a master of mischief in the midst of depression, but this trait is representative of the times we live in. Aside from Sony's PR disconnect, could it be that these things are scaring the academy's judges? We don't know. Good luck to Finch and his Girl with the Dragon Tattoo next year. β
This is obviously for David? Finch was very fond of it.
Wang Ziming was also very dissatisfied and even angry that the winner of Best Picture was "The King's Speech", the meaning of the Oscar is too obvious, and even if it is a cake, "Social Network" is more qualified than "The King's Speech".
However, he finally knew something about Hollywood, and soon calmed down, came to the relevant website, and typed out a random review about the Oscars.
"Oscar's position is eccentric, it wants ratings, and it 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? The devil knows, maybe they can't tell it themselves. All I know is that they are just as kitsch, but in a more conservative way. β
"If the finale was awarded to "Avatar" last year, it would definitely be kitsch, but wouldn't it be kitsch if it wasn't given to it? "Bomb Disposal Unit" is equally kitsch. Because no one believes that the Oscars are pure, its way itself is flattering, vulgar, and useless no matter how many arches are erected. This year is the same, the king ascended the throne and sat down steadily, at the other end, daydreaming woke up into a white dream, and "Gravity" still couldn't go up no matter how frenzy it was. β
"The Internet is dissolving the authority of the Oscars, and this traditional awards ceremony is becoming more and more embarrassing, in an era when everyone is a film critic, it is destined to not accommodate the most valuable films of this era, it is just a show performed by Americans to the world. It's impossible for such a show to be out of the ordinary, so don't be angry about it, let alone be superstitious. β
As the live broadcast of the Oscars gradually appears on the opposite network, every award ceremony can always cause a lot of discussion, but one thing is indeed like Wang Ziming said, this country has a deeper understanding of the Oscars, and you can also see a lot of things behind the Oscars, and there are fewer and fewer so-called Olympic films that were specially produced like the past.
At the Kodak Theatre, the annual event that represents the most glamorous side of Hollywood has come to an end, but everything about the Oscars is far from over, and many people leave the Hollywood area and flock to Beverly Hills, where the annual Oscar Night party is also an essential event.
