The Oscar actress crown was won by Susan Saledon, the heroine of the film "Death Row Prisoner Walking", but the competition for the actor is very fierce, Mel Gibson in "Braveheart", Jean Renault in "This Killer is Not Too Cold" and Nicolas Cage in "Leaving Las Vegas" The three male movie stars who seem to be almost the same are competing for this award, which makes the final home of the Oscar winner full of suspense. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The three nominees on the stage all looked a little nervous, and the award presenters opened the envelope that would decide their fate, "I announce that the winner of this year's Oscar for Best Actor is the film "Leaving Las Vegas", congratulations to Mr. Nicolas Cage!" This result was unexpected by everyone, but Lin Mu was not surprised by this result, although Paramount lost an Oscar trophy, he felt that it was actually the best result, at least the choice did not happen within Paramount, and Mel Gibson would not be too disappointed.

Jean Renault shook hands with Nicolas Cage in a friendly way, and the two hugged each other. But Mel Gibson clearly didn't have the same good demeanor as him, and he just shook hands with Nicolas Cage symbolically and walked off the front desk with some indignation. Lin Mu, who saw all this, shook his head secretly, Mel Gibson has obviously not completely transformed from an actor to a director, as an excellent director, he will not miss this opportunity to show his demeanor and attract talents by the way.

In the end, the film "Braveheart" won the last award of this year, and it was still Mel Gibson who took the stage to accept the award, but this Oscar top honor obviously did not dilute Mel Gibson's loss just now. To a large extent, Best Picture is a collective honor for the entire crew, and Mel Gibson at this time is even more eager for Oscar recognition for him personally.

The day after the awards ceremony, Paramount held a grand celebration reception in Los Angeles, and among the 22 awards presented at this year's Oscars, the two films produced by Paramount received 9 nominations and finally won 6 awards, which not only set a record for Paramount since its establishment, but also set a record among all Hollywood studios, Paramount became the most awarded film company ever at the same Academy Awards.

At the drinking party, Lin Mu found Mel Gibson, who was drinking alone in the corner. All the crew members were rejoicing that "Braveheart" won 5 Oscars, but Mel Gibson did not join in the celebration.

", your prediction is so accurate, you actually haven't been optimistic about my acting skills, right?" Mel Gibson burped, looking at the crooked bottles in front of him, Lin Mu estimated that he had poured himself a lot of wine.

"If you want to hear the truth, then I'll tell you that I am more optimistic about your directing ability than your acting talent!" Lin Mu frowned, he didn't expect Mel Gibson to value the lost best actor so much.

"I knew you already knew!" Mel Gibson was really a little too drunk, "Why can't I win two trophies at the same time, and now I finally understand why you said that in the first place!" Hmph, you're afraid that I'll win two awards at the same time and overwhelm you, that's why you say those cool words! ”

"Gibson, you've drunk too much!" Lin Mu looked at Mel Gibson, who was full of alcohol, and there was already a disgusted expression on his face. Lin Mu has always been a very self-disciplined person, and at the same time, he also hates those who drink excessively, especially a man who uses alcohol to numb his failures, and he looks down on such people the most.

"I didn't drink much!" Mel Gibson staggered to his feet with a nonchalant wave of his hand, his loud shout attracting the attention of the others at the party, and it was only then that people realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere between the two.

"Waiter, give me a glass of ice water!" Lin Mu told a waiter next to him with an expressionless face that he was very calm now, and he had not forgotten the purpose of coming to Mel Gibson, but the problem was that Mel Gibson was not calm now, and Lin Mu felt that such a conversation between the two was meaningless.

The waiter quickly brought up the ice water that Lin Mu wanted, and after saying "thank you", Lin Mu put the glass of ice water in front of Mel Gibson, "Gibson, I want to know that I didn't come to you to quarrel with you, what you said before was sincere or confused, I think you drank too much." But I know you're not actually drunk, so now you have two options: either you drink this glass of ice water yourself, clear your mind, and make it easier for us to communicate with each other for the rest of the day; Either you're really drunk, I'll pour this glass of ice water over your head, I think you'll wake up faster! ”

Mel Gibson did drink too much, but his consciousness was still very clear, as soon as he said what he said just now, he regretted it a little, and now he knew that Lin Mu's practice of saluting first and then soldiers had given him a lot of face. Under Lin Mu's gaze, Mel Gibson honestly drank the ice water, and Lin Mu gave him a step, and he didn't want to make things out of control.

"Let's go outside and talk!" Lin Mu actually wanted to scold people at this time, but he didn't want to reprimand Mel Gibson in front of everyone and make him, a great director, lose face, so he proposed that the two go outside in the garden to talk.

Mel Gibson didn't object, the glass of ice water sobered him up a lot, and he also wanted to go out and breathe.

"Gibson, I'm honestly disappointed with your performance!" Walking in the garden outside the hotel, Lin Mu sighed softly.

"I apologize for what I said before, I'm really getting a little impulsive!" Mel Gibson had realized that what he had just said had deeply hurt the friendship between him and Lin Mu.

"It's not because of what you said, but because of your performance in the past two days, do you think about what you've done in the past two days? Isn't it just the loss of a trophy for Best Actor, such a situation is staged at the Oscars every year, if everyone thinks of you like this, then the Oscars have lost their meaning! Although you won the Oscar for Best Director, your actions made me completely unable to see the demeanor and temperament of an Oscar-winning director, to put it seriously, you are tarnishing the honor of this film! Lin Mu pointed out unceremoniously.

Mel Gibson didn't speak, he knew that Lin Mu, as the dignified chairman of Paramount, said such things to him, in fact, he valued him very much, ordinary people, Lin Mu didn't bother to bother to talk like this.

"You didn't get into the role of a director at all, do you think that with the success of a movie, you can become a good director? If you think so, then you couldn't be more wrong. I know you're putting a lot of effort into playing the role of William Wallace, and you've put a lot of effort into this film. But you didn't think of yourself as the director of the film at all on the podium, and to put it mildly, you're still an actor, at least in terms of thinking! ”

"So what do you think is a real director?" Mel Gibson was a little unconvinced, Lin Mu criticized him for being depressed in the past few days, which was acceptable, but Lin Mu said that he was not a real director, which made it difficult for him to accept.

"A real director must have the temperament and self-cultivation of honor and disgrace, do you think you have done it?" Lin Mu asked.

Mel Gibson doesn't speak.

"A true director should have an inclusive and humble mentality, do you think you have done it?" Lin Mu asked again.

Mel Gibson was speechless.

"Your success is so sudden, so sudden that you are not ready to accept it at all, such a sudden success that you can't see yourself clearly!" Lin Mu is now Mel Gibson thinks of himself when he rejected the Oscars, "The saddest thing in this world is not that a person has the ability but can't get the right position, but that he gets the position but doesn't have the ability to match the position!" ”

Lin Mu's words shattered Mel Gibson's previous naivety, and Lin Mu left him alone in the garden, and the cool breeze outside might have made him sober up. Lin Mu didn't care if Mel Gibson could accept his persuasion, he did it only because he valued Mel Gibson's talent, and at the same time hoped that this promising director would be able to take fewer detours in the future exhibition.

In April, Hollywood came to an end with the hustle and bustle of the Oscar afterglow, and after discussing with Spielberg, it was decided to screen the film "Schindler's List" because in 1945 the Soviet Red Army conquered Berlin, where the German High Command's representative Field Marshal W Keitel signed the unconditional surrender to the Soviet Army and the Allied Expeditionary Force on May 8. This marked the end of the war that marked the end of fascist Germany, the Soviet-German war, and the war in Europe. Bringing the film to the screen half a century later was considered monumental by both Lin Mu and Spielberg.

As early as during the filming of the film, the film "Schindler's List" attracted the attention of the public, especially in the context of the 50th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War, and the profound connotation of this film attracted the attention of the media. The release date of the film was the result of a mutual agreement between Lin Mu and Spielberg, but when it came to choosing a screening location, the two had a disagreement. Spielberg believed that the film should be screened in the United States, where there are so many Jews. Lin Mu, on the other hand, came up with a bold idea, and he was going to show the film in Germany.

Spielberg was puzzled by this, "The film itself is to reveal the crimes committed by the German fascists, and if you put this film in Germany, isn't it a slap in the face of the Germans?" ”

Lin Mu disagrees with Spielberg's view, he believes that the theme of the film is redemption, but this is not only Shawshank's redemption of the Jews, but also Shawshank's redemption of his soul. "The Germans are a reflective nation, and the brilliance of humanity embodied in Shawshank is an ode to Germany's unquenched conscience, and I believe that any German with a conscience can accept this film that can make their souls repent!"

He finally persuaded Spielberg that the screening of the film was put in Frankfurt, Germany, and the news was announced, which immediately caused a lot of shock in Germany, but as Lin Mu said, the Germans are a nation that dares to face history, and the German media spoke highly of this film that truly reflects the history of World War II, and the public is also full of expectations for this upcoming film.

The German president personally attended the screening of the film, although it was only an appearance and a short speech, but this has already shown everyone the attitude of the German government, which paved the way for the release of the film in Germany. During the 3 hours and 15 minutes of running time, no one in the theater got up and walked around, so everyone was infected by the film's powerful impact and deep and painful artistic charm. During the cleansing of the Krakow ghetto, Schindler saw a little girl in red dressed in red who had barely been harmed by the atrocities and massacres between the club-wielding SS and the deported Jews. Schindler was greatly shaken by this scene. Spielberg treats the girl as a key figure in the film's transition, and in the black-and-white shot, only the little girl is red. In Schindler's eyes, the little girl is the highlight of the entire massacre scene in black and white tones – and then the girl reappears – lying on a corpse truck and being taken to the crematorium.

This picture has become a classic, and its deep connotation and artistic value of photography far exceed that of ordinary film works. From the beginning of the film to the announcement of the Nazis' surrender, it is shot in black and white, with the aim of reinforcing the sense of realism and symbolizing the dark ages of the Jews. Later, when the Nazis surrendered and the Jews walked out of the concentration camp, the screen suddenly shone brightly, and brilliant colors appeared, so that the audience could feel from the darkness to the sun, and could experience the cheerful mood of the people in the play who lifted the threat of death.

At the end of the film, Schindler's grave, the Jews who had been rescued by Schindler before the war and who were in their twilight decades later, and their descendants walked through the graves on behalf of their ancestors, placing a stone on the tombstone that represents "gratitude will never change" as a salute. After the screening, the German Chancellor shook Spielberg's hand excitedly and told Spielberg, "This is the most realistic film I have ever seen that reflects this history!" ”

The filming of this film was a new experience for Spielberg, and the floodgates of repressed emotions opened at once. At the subsequent press conference, I asked Spielberg how he felt when he created the film, and his deep affection touched everyone at the scene. "This time I felt that it was not my imagination that mattered, but my conscience, and all of a sudden, the camera that I used to use to escape reality confronted reality, and I cried during the shooting, and I shed tears every day," he said.
