Chapter 410: Accident
Martin Scorsese said it very firmly, but Lee Chung-hee laughed secretly in his heart.
"The Departed" did make Leonardo DiCaprio nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor again, but it was still only a nomination.
The sad Comrade Li absolutely didn't know that the old horse at this moment didn't have that absolute certainty, he was just joking.
However, that was all later, and in front of me, the Oscar staff was already letting them sit down, and the party was about to start.
However, Comrade Xiao Li has a good relationship with Li Zhengxi, and Li Zhengxi may find an opportunity to help him.
Because the technical awards have not been very popular with the audience, and the ratings of the Oscars at the beginning were very poor, which made advertisers very unhappy.
So, driven by interests, the Oscars had to reform, but this reform had a limit, and it was only the first to award awards such as Best Supporting Actor.
Instead of really interspersing awards including Best Actor, Best Actress and so on.
The reason is also very simple, because among the 26 Oscar awards, there are only these few weighty awards, unlike the Grammys, there are simply too many places to put them.
And the weighty awards are naturally the most concerned, if you intersperse them and finish them in the middle, it is even worse for the final ratings.
Therefore, this is just a compromise plan at the moment, and it is also a reform that is not very good, of course, it is still relatively good.
At the 76th Academy Awards, the most concerned Best Supporting Actor was Morgan Freeman in "Million Dollar Baby", and he was not only nominated for Best Actor. Jimmy Fox, who was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor. The nominated film is "Murder with a Knife". His collaborator was the famous Tom Cruise.
However, there is not much suspense, just like the article in the Los Angeles Times, the old and spicy Morgan Freeman shows his natural acting skills, natural and classic.
Neither Jimmy Fox nor the other candidates could shake him in the slightest.
After Best Supporting Actor, there were a number of technical awards. Including Best Costume Design, Best Art Direction, Best Editing, and more.
To Lee Chung-hee's surprise, this time, "The Lord of the Rings 3" is still a lone show, except that the best editing lost to "Million Dollar Baby".
Others, including Best Costume Design and Art Direction, beat out the original "The Aviator" and won the award.
So, all the way down, it's time for the best adapted screenplay. "The Lord of the Rings 3" has already received eight of the nine nominations, which can be described as a limitless beauty.
Next. It's the award for the best original screenplay.
Lee Chung-hee was nominated for the animated film "Finding Nemo", but he didn't expect this at all, because he knew that "Lost in Translation" was the biggest hit.
"Hollywood Chronicle" even said that with the influence of the Coppola family in the Hollywood film industry, it can easily let the Oscar judges see which is the target they should choose.
Although this is an exaggeration, the Oscar judges themselves are eating in the Hollywood film industry, and the Coppola family has been rooted here since the seventies and eighties, and the power is absolutely unimaginable to others.
The award was presented to Al Pacino and Dustin Hoffman, two supermasters of the acting school.
"What does a good script mean to you?"
Dustin Hoffman asked Al Pacino with a smile, and the latter shrugged, "Can I say that the director is more important, or that the actor is important?" ”
In the laughter of everyone, he continued: "A good screenwriter is really important, they know how to depict a scene, but they don't write down any dialogue, tone, they will give the actors a lot of space to play." ”
Dustin Hoffman also smiled and continued: "Indeed, if a screenwriter has planned all your actions, and asked you how to say what and so on, it is really terrible, for a good actor, it is like a marionette ......." ”
After a pause, he glanced at Lee Chung-hee below, "Therefore, if a good actor writes a script, he may better understand what we need!" ”
"You mean him?"
Al Pacino glanced at Lee Chung-hee with a smile, "His performance is like a madman, I don't want to follow his example!" ”
Finally, everyone was amused again, and Dustin Hoffman went on to talk about the nominees and the nominated films after the stalk was shaken off.
In the end, it was natural to tear open the envelope and present the award.
Charlize Theron looked at Lee Chung-hee with an indifferent look on his face, and smiled speechlessly: "You really don't want it at all?" ”
On the other side, Scarlett Johansson pouted, "He knew he couldn't get it, so he just pretended like this,"
Lee Chung-hee shrugged, "Not to mention the rest, it's crazy for an animated film to win the best original screenplay!" ”
"Then your Oscar for Best Actor last year didn't get it for a purely commercial film like "Pirates of the Caribbean."
Charlize Theron stared at him in surprise.
How can Lee Chung-hee say how much effort he put into that award, and this time, he didn't do anything.
Shrugging, over there, Al Pacino looked down with a smile and announced the list, "Congratulations, Vincent. Lee, "Finding Nemo" ......! ”
Hua Cha, what's going on, Lee Chung-hee really almost burst into a foul mouth, with a look of disbelief.
He really thinks this is crazy, even if it is not "Lost in Translation", "The Aviator", and "Hotel Rwanda" are better than his.
Could it be that the judges of the Oscar jury are crazy, or have broken heads, and don't the Coppola family do a PR for their little princess?
However, the overwhelming praise clearly illustrates the problem, is it possible that the Oscar judges' habit of working against the film critics has flare up again.
"Hey, call you, you lucky guy!"
Charlize Theron stabbed him. Finally woke Lee Chung-hee from his stupe. Looking at Dustin Hoffman above, he quipped, "Hi. Man, it's you, yes, and you'll have to come up and get the prize, otherwise the two of us would be embarrassed to stand here! ”
The audience below was happy, and Lee Chung-hee also shrugged his shoulders with a smile and quickly rushed forward.
Take the trophy from Al Pacino's hands. His head spun around for a moment before he walked to the microphone, "Uh, to be honest, happy is happy, but more is surprised, or unbelievable, so I will be stunned!" ”
After a pause, he continued: "How to say it, I personally think the other nominated scripts are really good." For example, John Rogen's "The Aviator" and Sophia's "Lost in Translation". There is also "Hotel Rwanda" and so on.
It's really, really great, I'm not humbly and deliberately complimenting...... Of course, I would also like to thank the Oscar jury for their recognition of me. ”
This time, he just said his feelings earnestly, not joking, this time is not suitable for joking, it is disrespectful to other people.
As for winning the award, he naturally has to thank the jury, so in the end, it was decent, but in front of it, people could feel his sincerity.
So, after his speech, everyone applauded, including Sofia Coppola, who was also laughing and clapping his hands after obvious consternation, but his eyes were a little red.
And the father next to her, Comrade Coppola, was also very surprised, but he covered it up well, but there were not only doubts in his eyes, but also unhappiness.
Of course, he would not suspect that Lee Chung-hee was a ghost, and Lee Chung-hee's stunned appearance had been clearly shown on the big screen just now, and his speech was equally sincere.
Perhaps, it's time for the Coppola family to gauge their influence in the Hollywood film industry.
Imperial Films, including Imperial Music, has rapidly grown into a Hollywood giant, and their boss's name is Lee Chung-hee, who has just won the best original screenplay.
Francis. How many years has Coppola been in this industry, he naturally understands some of the truth.
South Korea, Seoul's MBC TV station was also broadcasting the award ceremony live, and before that, Park Dong-chan, including Park Dong-chan of Imperial Television's Zuò company, said that he was not optimistic about Lee Chung-hee winning the award.
Therefore, after winning the award, everyone was excited and discussed this issue.
"Before, Sofia Coppola from 'Lost in Translation' was the most promising and hottest, and then 'The Aviator'"
The host of the live broadcast, Li Yongzhen, looked at the two guests Park Dongzan and Won Bin with a smile, "However, it is very popular, Dr. Li won this award, two of you, what is the reason for this?" ”
Won Bin didn't talk much, he came here because of Lee Chung-hee, and motioned for Park Dong-chan to speak first.
Like Francesco Copola, Park Dong-chan thought of certain reasons, but he would not say them directly.
"I don't know much about this, after all, the Oscar judges sometimes have a unique choice, and even have the habit of doing the right thing with film critics and the media,"
Park Dongzan said a few words casually, and when it was Won Bin's turn, he shrugged his shoulders and said with a subtle smile: "I think "Finding Nemo" is a very good film, and he has created a new genre of cartoons, just like "Pirates of the Caribbean", perhaps, this is the biggest reason!" ”
This answer is, of course, difficult to convince.
However, if you take it, you take it, and no one knows why. Or, the Oscar jury judges will know this, however, they certainly won't tell everyone directly.
Lee Chung-hee naturally didn't know the reason, and after winning the award, he came backstage to be interviewed, facing the same question, and shrugged, "I really don't know what the reason is, you should ask the judges."
Moreover, if you win the Oscar, as long as you are nominated, and then you don't get it, there seems to be no reason to say, in a word, the judges just chose you, and you are the lucky one at this moment. ”
"You just mentioned Sophia and others, and you were shocked before, do you think that the award should not belong to you, do you think that the choice made by the Oscar judges this time is not quite right?" The Hollywood Chronicle reporter was deliberately provoking this question.
But Lee Chung-hee just smiled indifferently and said in a frivolous tone: "Man, it seems that you don't know how to respect your peers, so you don't understand, I mentioned Sophia and others, and it is a recognition and respect for the work of ...... peers." (To be continued......)
