Chapter 307: Attention
At five o'clock, there is still half an hour before the 75th Academy Awards, and the red carpet of the Oscars is already lively.
Media reporters are crowded on the red carpet in front of the Dolby Theater, arresting people everywhere for interviews, as the broadcaster, the famous host of ABC TV Sarah, wearing a beige bandeau dress, just after interviewing a big star, got a reminder from the front, learned that Lee Chung-hee and Melissa Tatov appeared from the car together, and when they were walking from the red carpet, they began her pre-line warm-up.
"In the more than a month between the announcement of the Oscar nominations and the official awards, the final results of the Oscars have been unpredictable, and before that, more people will pay attention to the results of some awards ceremonies with Oscar weather vanes.
For example, the Golden Globe Awards, which is the first award with a weather vane, from the perspective of the composition of the judges, the Golden Globe Awards are still awards that belong to film critics or media people, and the Golden Globe Awards are actually the transition from the Film Critics Award to the industry award, which only plays a role in gathering word-of-mouth.
After that, one after another Hollywood's internal industry awards will really see the light of day, allowing you to see what is expected and what is still divided. Judging from the industry awards that have been announced so far, such as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the results are strikingly consistent with the Film Critics Awards, which may give some clues to this year's Oscars.
So, is that really the case, but Dr. Lee's voice doesn't seem to be small at all ....... โ
Lee Chung-hee and Melissa Tatofu came early, half an hour early, and after getting off the bus, of course, they didn't know what Sarah said, and while greeting the fans, they answered a few more questions. Just when Sarah said this, they came here, so. Sarah then said, "Now, let's ask Dr. Lee what he thinks." โ
Then, he pulled Lee Chung-hee and Melissa Tatofu, and after greeting him with a smile, he said casually: "Dr. Lee, why didn't Miss Alice come?"
That's not a good thing to say, because Melissa Tatov is there, she says so. It seems that Melissa Tatov shouldn't come, but fortunately, Lee Chung-hee and Melissa Tatov didn't care about this.
The former smiled faintly and said, "Alice has something to do, I can't leave for the time being," Sarah also realized her mistake at this time, and apologized to Melissa before asking Lee Chung-hee, "I was still saying just now that many awards this year don't look so clear, like the Oscars you were nominated for." What do you think? โ
"Well," Lee Chung-hee smiled, then glanced at Melissa. "I just told her that I don't know what the outcome will be, but I'm looking forward to it,"
"Well, you still care," Sarah continued, while Lee Chung-hee smiled and nodded, "Well, I would say it's nice to be nominated." However, I would like any one to be nominated. Or people who don't get nominated will care a lot, because it's an affirmation of what they've done. It is also a high ...... honor. โ
The year before last, Imperial Pictures began to deploy in North America, and last year was the beginning of Imperial Pictures, and it did a good job, not to mention that the box office had billions, and it successfully squeezed into the top ten in Hollywood, even if it was this year's Oscars, the results were very good.
"Chicago" received the most thirteen nominations, while "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" received ten nominations, along with "Gangs of New York," and "The Hour" received nine.
These three films account for almost one-third of all nominations, especially in the important awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Screenplay.
This is also a saying that has been circulating in Hollywood recently, the works produced by Imperial Pictures represent not only the box office, but also the affirmation of the Oscars, and he is the real Oscar vane.
Because of these reasons, because Imperial Pictures was founded by Lee Chung-hee or Lee Chung-hee's family, and Lee Chung-hee won three nominations for Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing, which can be said to be a very amazing, or unique, thing in the history of the Oscars, so South Korean TV stations naturally broadcast the whole process.
This time, the live broadcast of the 75th Academy Awards became MBC, KBS was stingy and couldn't afford to pay, Lee Chung-hee felt more and more that KBS was bad, and now the cooperation with that side is slowly decreasing.
It was 5 o'clock in the afternoon on the 23rd in Los Angeles, and it was close to 11 o'clock in Seoul time, but the 23rd in Los Angeles was a Sunday, and it was already a Monday in South Korea, so I had to go to work.
Imperial Entertainment is very humane, with a day off so that everyone can watch their boss's Oscar trip, but this is not the case with other companies, and the same is true for students, after all, although this time the matter is very big, it has not yet reached the national holiday.
It doesn't matter if these university students like Lee So-e, Shirley, Kim Eun-joo and others are in the Savage Fan Club, after all, college classes are relatively easy.
But middle school is different, Seoul Central High School, the time is already 11:15, it is the fourth class in the morning, as a senior student, it is naturally very busy now.
Li Huiyan and many of her classmates were a little restless from the beginning of class, but the female teacher who lectured above was a notoriously strict person in the school, wearing black tortoiseshell eyes, old-fashioned, conservative, whether it was a male or female classmate, she was treated to death, and no one dared to mess with her.
She wanted to cover her stomach and say that she was not feeling well, but she was also afraid that the teacher would know her tricks, if that was the case, she would be miserable.
There are many people in the classroom who think the same way as her, so they are all looking at me and I looking at you, but no one dares to speak up, for fear of shooting the first bird.
Time is slowly moving forward, it has slipped to 11:25, and the award ceremony is getting closer and closer, as a die-hard fan of Lee Chung-hee, Lee Hye-yeon will never give up the live broadcast.
So, grit your silver teeth. I thought that I had finished it today, and then, my eyes widened. Just going to stand up, just. At this moment, the female teacher who had just finished the homework above turned around, pushed her eyes on the bridge of her nose, glanced at the classroom, and said, "In the next time, let's study by ourselves!" โ
Then, without waiting for any response from the students, he quickly took the handout on the table. Quickly left the classroom.
Self-study, Lee Hye-yeon and a group of Lee Chung-hee fans were so happy, after the teacher left, they quickly slipped out of the classroom one by one, although there were still instructors in the school, but it was not a trouble for them, and they soon ran into the small restaurant outside the school.
Hurry up, the time is just right, on the TV screen, the Oscars have begun. However, what made them dumbfounded was in the small restaurant. They saw their female teacher sitting at one of the tables, her eyes fixed on the screen, watching intently.
Immediately panicked and was about to slip away, but the female teacher just turned around because of their noise.
For a while, the sound of needles falling to the ground could be heard, but the female teacher just glanced at them, as if she didn't see them, and helped the black tortoiseshell eyes on her nose. Turn around again.
"Whew!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they weren't usually so smart. But at this time, everyone knows that this is a very tacit understanding. So, one by one, they quickly occupied the small restaurant.
Students are like this, teachers are like this, in South Korea, people from different industries, there are also many people like Li Huiyan and them, either skipping class, or temporarily taking leave from work, calling friends to watch the event together.
In MBC's street interview program, the host grabbed a young couple who had just come out of the city and asked them about the Oscars, and the man named Ye Mingchuan said with a smile: "Of course, both of us are office workers, but we both took leave today, I heard that several colleagues are on leave today, we are specially buying some delicious food to go home, and when the time comes, we will entertain friends who come to the house to watch TV together, if Dr. Li wins the award, we will celebrate ......!" โ
The signal for the live broadcast was obtained from ABC TV, because of the negligence of ABC's cameraman, so the Korean audience did not see the scene of getting out of the car, but it didn't matter, when Lee Chung-hee and Melissa Tatov appeared, the audience who stayed in front of the TV became lively.
Then, everyone saw the interview about him, and after his interview, MBC also began to predict this year's Oscar for Best Actor and other related awards.
"In terms of film critics' awards, Dr. Lee has an advantage, including New York Film Critics, Boston, San Francisco, etc., so far, he has won a total of six awards, and even fewer others."
MBC's guest host, South Korea's famous film critic Kim Jae-moon, said: "However, in the industry awards, Adrien Brody reached a tie, with two each, so from this point of view, the other three are basically out of play."
, won the Best Actor at the Golden Globe Awards, and at the same time, won the Best Actor at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the most authoritative in the industry and also known as the most important weather vane.
In addition, judging from the previous example, if the film critics award and the industry award are the same, then the final result of the Oscars will be about the same, and this, more than half of the historical number supports this.
Therefore, for now, in the competition for Best Actor, Dr. Li ranks second.
As for Best Editing and Best Adapted Screenplay, it's interesting that this is the first time he's been nominated for Best Editing, which I think is a good nomination, but it's not very likely.
As we all know, Dr. Lee has been nominated for two works, "Chicago" and "All the Time", and I believe he has a very good ......chance of winning the award. โ
After he finished speaking, another guest, Wu Heng, continued: "I don't agree with what Professor Jin said, I think that because it is two works that are shortlisted, it is easy to scatter the votes of the judges, and in the end, they will not get anything,"
Kim Jae-moon also immediately replied, "Not to mention that "Chicago" has received thirteen nominations, it already shows that this is a very good work, and the adaptation is very successful." "Moment by Moment" has not yet been officially released, but it has already been recognized by film critics across the United States and received rave reviews. "Good Morning America" also said, 'This is the most important movie of the year.'" It will be the big winner of the Oscars. All of this is enough to show that Dr. Li has ...... credit. โ
The TV show is like this, one says left, one says right, one says wrong, anyway, it's lively, Lee Chung-hee is sitting in the award hall in front. Naturally, I don't know what is going on here.
From the time he arrived at the Dolby Theater to the Oscars, he was interviewed, photographed, and chatted with a bunch of people he knew.
Lee Chung-hee, who has attracted the most attention this year and suddenly became a new generation of Hollywood superstars because of the sudden rise of "Spider-Man", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", won the honor of sitting in the middle of the first row.
In Hollywood, the seats in the front rows. In particular, the seats in the first row are very particular.
Melissa Tatov did not sit here, she went to the box upstairs. There is a better and more free space there, of course, this is also because she is not a showbiz person, it is not appropriate to sit in the first row, and if you sit in the back, it is better to go to the box.
Sitting next to Lee Chung-hee is Nicole Kidman, the nominee for Best Actress, and to the right is Martin Scorsese. The director of "New York Gangsters", a big name among Hollywood directors. and Steve Spielberg on the same level, the only thing that's a little worse. He has never won an Oscar for Best Director, which is unfair to this decades-old man, and people all over the world agree with this.
Lee Chung-hee actually doesn't like the atmosphere of the Oscars, he likes the Golden Globes like a dinner party, everyone around the table, eating, drinking and chatting, and then watching the awards, so that it is easy to relax.
This, sitting here for hours, crowded on both sides, tired and boring.
Steve Martin has come to the stage, he is the host of this year's Oscars, and before that, he has already hosted one session, which is considered an old acquaintance.
is still the practice of the Oscars, at the beginning, he made fun of people, and Lee Chung-hee naturally couldn't help it, "I heard someone say at the Oscars before, who is the worst, and I now deeply understand that I, the host, are the worst."
Because not only did I not get the nomination, but I couldn't have won the award, and I had to watch you get the award here, and the worst part was that I stayed for hours, standing all the time, and you who presented the award were only coming up for a few minutes....... โ
This is Lee Chung-hee's words before, and basically everyone here has heard it, so they smiled knowingly, and Steve Martin grasped the topic of Lee Chung-hee, and said to him: "Dr. Lee, do you really think so, do you really think that the award presenters are worse than the nominees who didn't win the award, okay, let's wish you all the three awards nominated today, otherwise, hehe......!" โ
As he spoke, he smiled sheepishly and continued, "I will interview you myself when the time comes, you must remember to laugh!" โ
It's not a bad Oscar hosting script, and I don't know if this year's ratings will be the worst, but the Oscar editors still seem to use it for dim sum.
Steve Martin's opening remarks were followed by the awards ceremony, the first of which was Best Supporting Actor, which has become a common practice in recent years.
The reason why this is so is to adjust the so-called excitement of the Oscars, because, in the past, the awards at the beginning of the Oscars were some behind-the-scenes awards such as best editing and best makeup, and those winners were not famous, and the vast majority of the audience came to see the stars, which naturally made the ratings low at the beginning.
Best Supporting Actor, generally speaking, there will be some good-looking male stars, or old actors who have been famous for a long time, these people have a certain appeal, so that the ratings at the beginning will be increased to a certain extent.
A good start is half the battle, in terms of ratings, if the ratings at the beginning are good, and then add the increase, it is definitely worse than the beginning, and the overall ratings are stronger after the increase.
This is because of a part of the middlemen, the so-called middlemen, or the wanderers, they belong to the visible or not, if they don't see it at the beginning, they may not read it later, and if they look at it at the beginning, they may habitually watch it.
This is also one of the reasons why TV series is cut after four or six episodes are broadcast, and the ratings are not good.
This year's Best Supporting Actor, the lineup is still very strong, Jeffrey Rush in "Pirates of the Caribbean". Christopher Walken of "Get Away" is a real veteran actor, and the films invested by Empire Pictures also include Ed Harris of "All the Time". John Reilly of Chicago, therefore. In this award, if you talk about nominations, Imperial Pictures wins.
However, he is on the same crew as Nicolas Cage, from "The Orchid Thief", and this film has also received a lot of nominations this year.
Jeffrey Rush doesn't have any regrets about not winning the award, next. For Best Art Direction, Empire Pictures won, however, the winning film was "Chicago", and "Pirates of the Caribbean" lost.
Seeing this result at home, Son Ye-jin pursed her lips and turned her head to ask Ha Ji Won, who was looking at it very attentively, "What do you think that villain is thinking now?" โ
They had moved from the Li family's old house to their new home, after Christmas, before the New Year. Lee Chung-hee was not at home at that time, and in the past few months, Lee Chung-hee has also come back once.
"What can you think?" Ha Ji Won shrugged indifferently, and then watched the camera sweep over Lee Chung-hee's face, "He doesn't lack these, what he really cares about is the best actor, and the best adapted screenplay doesn't matter......." โ
Although Lee Chung-hee didn't say it explicitly, Ha Ji Won is more mature than Son Ye-jin and has long understood his thoughts.
It's not that Son Ye-jin isn't smart, it's just that she doesn't bother to think about that now, she still likes to be free. And recently, because of the clothing company, I was almost not tired. So, she pays less attention.
"That's right." Son Ye-jin suddenly said, "That's nothing, the Oscar for Best Actor is nothing unusual,"
Ha Ji Won chuckled, she agreed with this, Lee Chung-hee didn't lack these things at all, or rather, there was no need to ask for those things, his identity and status no longer needed to be set off by those things.
It's just that she didn't understand why Lee Chung-hee was so concerned, but she didn't ask him specifically, perhaps, just because he wanted to do everything to the best of his ability.
Best Supporting Actor and Best Art Direction all failed, and then Best Cinematography lost to "The Road to Ruining Miรจ", Best Sound Sound went to Chicago, and Best Sound Editing went to "The Lord of the Rings 2".
Of the five awards in a row, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has lost five out of ten nominations, but Imperial Pictures has won two out of five, which is already very good.
Next is live-action long and short films, animated long and short films, which have nothing to do with Imperial Pictures for the time being, and will not compete until next year, when Imperial Pictures' "Finding Nemo" is released.
Half of the awards are awarded, a short intermission, at this time, the big screen will play special effects technology award films, that is a long time ago, or some Oscar history review, tribute to someone, etc., this is what you see in front of the TV, and at this time, people attending the awards ceremony can have time to move their hands and feet and relax.
It's almost eight o'clock, and Lee Chung-hee hasn't eaten dinner yet, he is not used to starving, so at this time, he naturally took the hamburger and fried chicken thighs that Lee Myung-eun and the others sent over and ate them.
It's not like usual, feasting, after all, there are so many people, and now he is paying more and more attention to his identity.
Nicole Kidman is also hungry, she is familiar with him, so she is naturally not welcome, Martin Scorsese watched Lee Chung-hee hand over the lunch box, hehe, the two of them have not met a few times, and today is the most talked.
"You're really a eater," Martin Scorsese was not polite, took a chicken leg and began to eat, while Nicolas Cage and Jeffrey Rush and others in the back also unceremoniously took Lee Chung-hee's bag and began to eat it separately.
It used to be that no one did this, not that no one was not hungry, and I thought that I would stay for more than four hours at five o'clock, until ten o'clock, and even the dinner party after that.
At this time, it is a break period anyway, the camera does not shoot, there are no reporters, everyone is not human, and naturally they are happy to eat a little to fill their stomachs. (To be continued)
