The media has been talking about this, but as a party, Lin Mu refused to be interviewed during this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info also did not attend any public meetings. It's not that Lin Mu deliberately wants to live in the depths, and the wound on his lips is not something that can be completely recovered in a day or two. His current image is really not suitable for public appearance.
On the 20th, Los Angeles alum once again became the focus of global attention. The 68th Academy Awards ceremony arrived as scheduled in the Temple Auditorium. More than 30,000 spectators were on the periphery of the venue. More than 3,000 journalists gathered here. Oscar is like a pool of deep water. Beneath the splash of the waves is a surging undercurrent. The Oscars were propelled to the limelight of the world. In addition to its own harmonious match of "hardware and software". There is a deeper reason. That's the benefits. After the film won the award. In addition to making films, films
to get a very high reputation. And the return of winning awards to actors is not only rising. Substantial material rewards can be obtained. I can even leave a strong mark in the history of world cinema with the authority of the Oscars.
Hollywood's major studios bet on a movie almost every year, spending huge advertising dollars on it. From the early fifties to the present, Hollywood's two periodicals, the Joint Show Daily and The Hollywood Reporter, have become the main battleground for major studios, which have bought out many pages of film advertisements. But this year, the business of these two publications has been a little cold, and not many production companies are willing to spend more effort on advertising, for the simple reason that this year's Oscars are the least suspenseful in the past.
When it comes to the Oscars, there is one topic that can never be avoided, that is, where do the Oscar judges go between "art" and "business" when evaluating outstanding films? This is also one of the biggest controversies caused by the Oscars over the years. Normally, the Oscar judges take a compromise approach to this, and the films selected are generally both "artistic" and "commercial", and the two reach the best combination point, which is neither sunny and white, but also avoids the suspicion of vulgarity.
But in front of the two films that Paramount and Universal have teamed up, the other films this year seem to be a little lacking. One of them set a world box office record that year, and this year it was only the sequel to this film that broke the record. The other film, while a black-and-white film, has caused a sensation on a global scale, with deep themes and thought-provoking reflections reaching heights that make the attribution of this year's Academy Award for Best Picture a no-brainer.
Not only in terms of the hope of winning the final award of the film, but also the films "Schindler's List" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" dominated the limelight, and even on the red carpet catwalk, the main creators of these two films also stole the camera. The joint appearance of British beauties Robert Romischi and Johnny Depp amazed the audience, and Yuan Heping left the first footprint of Hong Kong filmmakers on the Oscar red carpet, but these were not the most exciting for the reporters on the scene.
The shocking scene appeared on the red carpet finale, when Lin Mu stood between Spielberg and James Cameron, two top Hollywood directors, and the moment the three stepped on the red carpet together, the audience immediately boiled. Flashing lights and cheers almost drowned out the entire scene. Three of Hollywood's most influential figures have joined forces, which is unique in the history of the Oscars.
Generally speaking, the traditional style of the Oscar red carpet is a handsome man with a beautiful woman, but this year the Oscar organizing committee is ready to come up with some new ideas. Originally, Spielberg and James Cameron were difficult to put together. If these two people are put together, people will inevitably compare these two big directors, and there will always be a result in the comparison, no matter who crushes whom in the final result, it is not what the Oscar organizing committee and the two directors want to see.
How to make the light of the two people not be overshadowed by each other, and let everyone have a sense of complementing each other, this is a big problem in front of the Oscar organizing committee. It may seem like an impossible thing, but the presence of trees has made the impossible a reality. The organizing committee was very thoughtful, and the position of the forest tree was just in the middle of the two people, and there were multiple intentions for doing so.
First of all, in terms of personal relationships, Lin Mu and these two directors have a very good relationship, and they have cooperated many times, and they are very familiar with each other. And Lin Mu, as the producer and screenwriter of the films "Schindler's List" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", can just connect the two very well. And Lin Mu's status and influence in Hollywood have to faintly overpower Spielberg and James Cameron, and it is actually appropriate to place him in the middle.
Although such a combination took a lot of thought from the Oscar organizing committee, the effect definitely exceeded their expectations. On Lin Mu's left hand side is Spielberg, who has just shocked the world with a literary film, and on Lin Mu's right hand side is James Cameron, who stands at the peak of the box office of the world's commercial blockbusters. The two films they directed in the competition represent the highest achievements of Hollywood literary and commercial films in the previous year. Hollywood's two most powerful directors paired with the strongest producers, the combination was treated like a king on the red carpet, with almost non-stop flashing lights and excited cheers from fans at the scene from start to finish, pushing the atmosphere to the climax.
I just saw the live broadcast from the Oscars in the studio, and after Lin Mu, Spielberg, and James Cameron walked into the temple auditorium, the scene was cut back to the live broadcast room. After the guests entered, it would take a certain amount of time to take their seats, and taking advantage of the gap during this time, the two hosts began to talk about the Oscar red carpet show just now. What they talk about the most is naturally the golden combination of Lin Mu, Spielberg and James Cameron. "Hollywood's Big Three waved on the red carpet, this is perhaps the most classic picture on the Oscar red carpet! Lisa, who do you think will win more Oscars in Schindler's List and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl? ”
"I think "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is more likely, because the nominations for "Schindler's List" are all highlights such as Best Picture and Best Director, and the competition is not small, while the nominations for "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" directed by James Cameron are too focused on technical production and costume design, and there is not much suspense about these awards!"
"So who do you think is the most likely of the three to be the biggest winner at this Oscars?"
"I think it's just Spielberg, because he has three nominations personally, and James Cameron only got one!" The person in the middle is often the easiest to ignore, and the moderator replied automatically ignoring the forest standing between the two, although he also received two nominations this time.
"I thought it should be xylonn forest!"
"Xylon Lin? I remember he was nominated twice at the next Oscars, so why would you think it was him? The other host asked, puzzled.
"Because he is the chairman of Paramount, Spielberg or James Cameron, their awards can ultimately be regarded as the awards of the film company behind them, and in this sense, Xylonn Lin will be the biggest winner of this Oscar!"
Lin Mu, who was sitting at the Oss award ceremony, naturally couldn't hear the comments made by the two hosts in the live broadcast program, he was more concerned about the award ceremony that was about to start. Spielberg was a member of the judging panel and sat in the front row, so it was James Cameron who sat next to Lin Mu.
But obviously James Cameron didn't pay much attention to the Oscars this time, he knew that the best picture and the best director would not fall on his head, and even he had the idea of being absent at the beginning, because he was devoting himself to the filming and production of the film "Titanic" during this time, and he had no time to take care of anything else, but the producer still wanted him to attend due to various considerations. Therefore, although others came to the scene, they were the most relaxed ones who were nominated for the nomination.
"The chances of winning the award for Lebi Pirates: The Curse of the Black Pearl are high this time!" In a casual conversation before the official start of the award ceremony, Lin Mu mentioned this issue.
"I think Luce will be happy!" James Cameron replied nonchalantly.
"Don't you care about that?" Lin Mu heard the casualness in James Cameron's tone: "You are the director of this film!" ”
"But the best director will definitely not be me!" James Cameron's answer was realistic. "If I still have some expectations for this Oscar, then I hope you can win both screenwriting awards!"
"I hope so!" There is no suspense about the Best Adapted Screenplay. But for the award for Best Original Screenplay. Lin Mu was not completely sure. The Oscar awards focus on the balance between box office and artistry. But there are also years that cannot be avoided. In this case, there is an extreme "art" but also an extreme "box office poison" film. Hollywood judges often choose to give up. "Citizen Kane", the No. 1 national classic film in the last century, is an example.
At the 14th Academy Awards, the House of Representatives had not yet reformed the rules of the awards. It is a senior film critic selection system. Experts were impressed by Citizen Kane's masterful cinematic skills. Nine nominations were granted. But since its release, the film has been mediocre at the box office and has received a cold response from the public. It made the judges feel quite tricky when it came to the final evaluation. The award was given to its local rivals, "Green Mountains and Green Valley" and "Citizen Kane" won only one Best Screenplay Award.
Compared to "Citizen Kane". The film "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Land" is another extreme high box office, and the artistry is actually very limited. This is the main cause of forest concern.
"Xylon Lin also has such a humble time!" James Cameron didn't think as much as Lin Mu thought, in his opinion, when there is no hope for Best Picture and Best Director, it is understandable for the film to win a Best Screenplay Award, otherwise I am really sorry for the eager expectations of fans around the world for this film.
The film "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" finally lived up to people's high expectations, winning the four categories of best makeup, best costume design, best editing, and best visual effects in one fell swoop
Not to be outdone, "Schindler's List" will be the best sound and the best shot. Of the 16 awards that have been awarded, these two films have already won nearly one-third of the awards. However, this is only the beginning.
James Cameron won the Best Art Direction Award, which can be said to be an award-winning vane for a film that has been nominated for Best Director and Best Picture at the same time. The next award for Best Adapted Screenplay became Lin Mu's bag without any questions. This is already his fifth Oscar!
"Mr. Xylon Lin, who has won the Oscar five times in a row and won the Academy Award for the fourth time, doesn't seem to see too much excitement on his face, maybe he already knew that this award belonged to him, but we would like to hear what kind of acceptance speech Xylon Lin himself will have!" The host at the award ceremony made a joke, and the microphone was handed to Lin Mu.
"Actually, I'm ashamed, maybe I should have given up this position a long time ago, so that more potential screenwriters can be recognized by the Oscars, sorry that I am still standing on this podium today! "Schindler's List" is a script that I wrote before, and after a long wait, this film was finally presented in front of everyone, and I believe this film did not disappoint everyone! A lot of people will think that this is my personal award, but I think it's hard to achieve a good film that is simply impossible to fault with a perfection like Schindler's List. It should be said that its existence is a kind of eternity of cinema. The Academy Awards, just as a faded foil to it. "Putting the achievements of a film above the entire Oscar honor, such words can only be heard from the mouth of Lin Mu.
The audience was stunned, even if Lin Mu, who had long been accustomed to speaking freely, was still a little stunned when he heard such a speech on this occasion. You must know that the establishment of the authority of the Oscar is not achieved overnight, it depends on its own strict implementation of the rules and respect for film art; On the other hand, it is completely stained with the light of politics. In the early days of the Oscars, he strongly advocated positioning himself as a non-governmental organization and always maintained a respectful attitude towards the government. (To be continued.) )
