Chapter 31: The Hand of God
"You're not optimistic about my work, it's so disappointing to me, so let's wait and see!" Katzenberg said stupidly, in fact, he was a little unconfident, just hiding the uneasiness hidden in his heart.
Gotcha, this is still tsundere, so let's wait and see!
It didn't take long for the 75th Oscars to officially kick off, and the host was Steve Brown, who is known as Hollywood's "Pulsatilla". Martin
"I'm glad to see that the organizers have lowered the bar for this awards gala, even the traditional red carpet has been canceled, and if you don't already know, I'd like to bring this message to you by the way. This is my second time hosting the Oscars, and it makes me feel like I'm in a relationship with another lover, and I couldn't be more excited. ”
Martin, who has hosted the Oscars for the second time, opened the ceremony with his own sense of humor, and by the way, he teased the U.S. government, which launched the Iraq war.
The Oscars are actually not much different from domestic award ceremonies, they are smelly, long and boring, but their wrists are big enough and there are many stars, so they are more eye-catching. After all, the best place in the film industry is in Hollywood, Europeans like to play literary and artistic tones, but art films are not acceptable to all the public, and it is inevitable that people will be downgraded to a level of psychological expectations.
In fact, the 15 large-scale A-category film festivals in the world are all in Europe in addition to Tokyo, Montreal, Canada, Cairo, Egypt, the Indian Film Festival and the Shanghai City in China, and the three major film festivals of Venice, Cannes and Berlin are the most well-known and most influential, and are known as the four major film festivals along with the Oscars.
Of course, there are differences, and the three major film festivals emphasize more artistry for global films. The Oscars are only for films released in the United States, and foreign language films that want to be nominated must also be released in the United States, and the main box office at this time is that the United States can take down a piece of Europe.
The awards in front are not too important small awards, to warm up for the main events in the back, and at the same time interspersed with various singing and dancing performances, the organizers are simply crazy for the TV ratings!
The best editing, best costume design, and best sound were all awarded to Miramax's musical revue "Chicago", and they also beat his brother "Gangs of New York". Harvey. Weinstein's fat body was about to twist into twists in the narrow seat, as if the best actor and actress and best director would be taken into his arms.
As for Richard Gere, who participated in this film, he didn't have the opportunity to see this grand occasion, but I don't know if there was a live broadcast in the prison cell of the police station.
A boring commercial comes back with a series of sub-awards.
The hero lost to Germany's "Nowhere to Home" without any suspense, which was expected by Chen Bo. And "Chicago" won the Best Art Design and Supporting Actress awards one after another, and Weinstein's face was already smiling like a chrysanthemum.
Finally, it's time for the awards for animated feature films, and the big screen shows the tidbits of the candidate films.
Blue Sky Studios' "Ice Age", Disney's "Star Baby" and "SilverIsland", and the rest is Ghibli's "Spirited Away". Pixar Studios didn't release any work last year, so it wasn't on the list, and it was said that Joe's hot temper and Disney's president Eisner got into trouble.
Eisner and Katzenberg are rivals, and they also kicked him out of Disney with his own hands, and this circle is not only small, but also a bad book.
The lottery guests pretended to be mysterious, and the photographer on the scene accurately found several people in charge, especially the two big avatars of Katzenberg and Eisner together, which was really not a big deal, on the other hand, the gray-haired Miyazaki was full of confidence.
"The winner for Best Animated Feature is...... Studio Ghibli "Spirited Away"! ”
The two bigwigs of DreamWorks and Disney tried to squeeze out a smile on their faces, applauding against their will, accepting the bitter fruit of failure.
"You're right, I'm overestimating." Katzenberg turned his head and whispered, it was not easy to make such a strong figure show weakness.
"Without Pixar, even if you win a prize, you will lose your gold content." Chen Bo comforted him and said, as the saying goes, when you are strong, you are strong, and Disney's traditional cartoons have lost their competitiveness, just like the decline of Meiying. This is the era of computer animation, and it is difficult to produce good works by relying on the accumulation of artists.
In the United States, only Pixar, DreamWorks and Blue Sky Studios are the most competitive, although Blue Sky is backed by 21st Century Fox, but adhering to the small studio model, it takes two or three years to produce an animated film, which is not enough to watch.
The awards are still ongoing, and after the supporting actor, makeup, sound effects, etc., the most important and most anticipated final award link is finally ushered in.
The competition for the heroine is still fierce, Julian. Moore, Renee. Zellweger and the sexy and hot Hayek, Nicole Kidman is really not very optimistic here, and the probability of winning the award is really not very large.
But there are always dark horse events, and when the lottery guests announced the winners, and Weinstein was ready to jump out of his chair, the name he spit out made his heart sink and he sat down again.
With a wonderful performance in "All the Moments", Nicole. Kidman was finally given the title of Queen.
A foreign woman who has been in Hollywood for many years is always tied up with Brother Tom, and the pressure of living in that shadow can be imagined, and now she is one step ahead of her ex-husband to get the little gold man he craves, this feeling is simply not too high, okay.
Nicole Kidman almost burst into tears as she stepped onto the podium, taking the 13.5-inch-tall trophy weighing 7.8 pounds, choking up and saying "Thank God, I thought it was like ...... in a dream."
The audience gave encouraging applause in time, fortunately, the big screen didn't cut Tom's face, otherwise it would be embarrassing, but with the urine of the TV station, this picture will not appear on the scene, but it will definitely give a small split screen in the live TV.
"I want to thank a man...... It was he who encouraged me. ”
Ah, there was gossip, and everyone began to hold their breath and listen! Could it be that she and Brother Tom are going to get back together?
"When he told me yesterday that he was going to win the prize, I thought he was crazy, but what he said was true! Thank you, Vincent! I love you so muck!! After finishing speaking, there were a few flying kisses in the air towards Chen Bo!
Forehead...... Thank you for your thanks, for Mao to give me such a sentence? It makes me so embarrassed, of course Chen Bo knows that the word love is often on the lips of foreigners, not specifically referring to the love between men and women, but it will be misunderstood, in fact, combined with this context, it is just moved from the heart.
Kate didn't love Xiao Lizi to death when she won the movie, and when she was excited, her tone was exaggerated.
The big screen looked for a long time before it was aimed at Chen Bo next to Katzenberg, and it didn't work if he didn't move, and he would kiss Lao Tzu too, for you! Interact with each other in the air!!
"Maybe you should treat this gentleman to a drink and have a nice evening of celebration." The host smiled lewdly and teased by the way.
Of course, the people who experienced last night knew the allusion to this, but I didn't expect him to be really right, this guy should be a sister-brother relationship if he develops, right? At the same time, there was a burst of cheers and whistles, and it didn't seem to be a good bird.
"You know?" Gao Yuanyuan asked inexplicably.
"I just met yesterday, and it was just polite words, and foreigners are very hypocritical." Chen Bo explained half-truthfully, for fear of being kicked out of bed at night.
"Oh......" But she was suspicious, after all, she was not an ignorant person in public.
This was followed by Best Director and Best Picture, "Gangs of New York" Martin. Sicorsese unfortunately lost to Polanski in "The Pianist", and it is not ashamed that they are all great directors. But "Chicago" won Best Picture and made the fat guy happy again.
The last to appear is the most important actor, and the competition for this title can be even more fierce, Nicholas. Cage, Daniel. Lewis, Michael. Kane, Jack. Nicholson is a well-known figure, and Brody can only be regarded as a newcomer in front of them, although he has been acting for ten years.
Among them, Nicholson won three Oscars, which is a grandfather-level character, classic masterpieces "One Flew Over the Asylum", "Chinatown" and so on.
Among them, the screenwriter of "Chinatown" is Iron Man Downey's father, and the director is Polanski, who won the award today.
The name Michael Caine sounds a little unfamiliar, but this old British man has been canonized as a knight by the Queen of England, a two-time Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, and a two-time Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. After that, he became Nolan's queen, and the old butler Alfred in "Batman" was him, and the only one who could fight with him was probably Morgan. Freeman is a gold medal supporting actor.
Lewis and Cage have also won the best actor once, and these people combined, Brody can't even reach other people's toes.
But the counterattack happened again, and Brody actually defeated a group of old-timers, and got his first little gold man in the first year. Xiao Lizi, who is about the same age, looks envious, jealous and hateful, Lao Tzu is not even nominated this year!
"Thank you Oscar, thank you director Polanski for giving me this opportunity. Thank you Vincent as well, for taking advantage of your auspicious words to get this incredible trophy, you are the hand of God, and it seems that I should treat you to a good meal. "Brody's mental qualities are much stronger, he is not nervous, and his speech is fast but sonorous.
"Hand of God!!
"Turning stones into gold!!"
"Magical Oriental Witchcraft !!"
Mom, a heroine's counterattack can be right, but the male protagonist can fight his way out of the strong lineup, which can never be explained by coincidence. The most shocking thing is probably Katzenberg, but he knows that Chen Bo bet on three awards in a row, and the results are all successful.
Dude, why don't you go and have fun. What about thoroughness? Why don't you go to heaven!! Why don't you give me some pointers?
From last night's performance to the magic of the awards ceremony, which is almost like the protagonist of a Hollywood blockbuster, it is difficult for him to even keep a low profile now, and the global live broadcast of ABC radio has sent his close-ups to many corners.
