Chapter 109: Advance to Heaven
There was still more than half an hour before the start of the awards ceremony, and in the Kodak Theater, there were only a small number of guests seated in the auditorium, but the backstage was full of stars.
Photography is forbidden here, except for the live broadcast, there are no media reporters, celebrities are moving, celebrities are talking, some people go to the bathroom, some people go to the auditorium, and some people do not walk the red carpet from the back door of the theater, and the staff are busy.
Tall statues of Oscar are placed everywhere, and near the aisle, Spielberg and Coppola are greeting.
These two great directors are also old friends, and it should be said that Spielberg, Coppola, Lucas, Scorsese, Zemeckis, Parma and other "movie-brats" who personally brought down the old Hollywood and promoted the New Hollywood movement are almost all good friends.
The movie boys who were once invincible in their youth, and the movie boys who were despised and beaten by the old things in old Hollywood, are now also old things.
Spielberg, who was once dubbed "the engineer of the entertainment film for ignorant teenagers" by Old Hollywood and boycotted his Oscar nomination, will award the best picture tonight.
Times have long been different, and in the 21st century, the information age, it seems that the "new Hollywood" is about to be replaced by another "new Hollywood".
"Steven, what do you mean when they asked me and Sophia for the best adapted screenplay, and for you to award the best picture?"
"It's been a long time since you've made a film, isn't it just right to read, write, and plan and produce every day?"
The two old things joked and seemed to make a news of "two directors fighting backstage at the Oscars", and most of the people smiled and walked by.
At this time, Ji Ya, who was following Coppola, suddenly asked, "Steven, I want to ask you about Ye Wei, that kid." β
"You know that, too?" said Sasha next to Spielberg, with a smile in high spirits, "His short film is awesome." β
"yes, so I'm wondering, is he really that good?" Gia's gaze didn't know what to expect, the former? or the latter: "Or is it just a commercial hype?"
Spielberg smiled and replied, "That kid, it's really that good." I've seen the original copywriting materials of "Dance of Angels" made by him, thorough, professional, and 1oo% of the storyboards are all drawn by hand, you can imagine how amazing it is. β
"1oo% storyboard?" Gia was stunned, as if something had fallen to the ground, "what a madman......"
Even Coppola was slightly surprised, with such talent, as well as such seriousness and hard work, he was interested in students, "Does that kid understand traditional Chinese culture?"
"He said he understands it very well, and he also gave my company a useful piece of advice for an animation project. β
Sasha didn't know about this, and immediately asked curiously, "Dad, what's going on?" Spielberg briefly explained.
"Then I'll really have to talk to him another day. Coppola laughed.
Gia knows why his grandfather has this interest, after "The Rain Man" in 1997, his grandfather has been in a semi-retired state for many years, and the project to remake "Metropolis" stopped two years ago due to financial problems, but soon he read the novel "Youth Without Youth" and decided to adapt and shoot, and he has been making preliminary preparations for more than two years.
The author of the novel is a theologian, and it is full of ideas of Eastern religions, especially Taoism and Buddhism in China, and the reincarnation of the East fascinates Grandpa more than the original sin of the West.
In the past two years, the old man has not known how many times he has said: "Life is like a dream, there is only the way." β
But Gia thinks that no matter how talented that kid is, he can't discuss it with the old man......, right? I can't say a few words.
"It's good to talk to him. "Young people always have a lot of new ideas. β
Coppola nodded: "The older the liquor, the more fragrant it is, but the 'movie boy' is like red wine, when it meets a good vintage, it will immediately mellow and rich." β
......
On the other side of the backstage, Hanks and Rita Wilson were greeting the Collins family, who happened to be coming in front of them.
Hanks quickly talked about Ye Wei, thinking that Phil Collins had let Ye Wei use his golden songs for free, and the two must be very familiar, but he and Lily were not the kind of ordinary teenagers who fell in love, so he said: "But there are really few such young people." β
"There's some talent. Phil Collins looked up, squinting, not knowing what to say.
"It's not just some talent. Hanks thought that the other party was polite, and praised again and again: "It's not too much to say that he is a movie genius." He's been working on a remake of a movie lately, you know, "The Wedding Is Coming", and he's doing a great job, and I watched the remake of the script, and it's really interesting to write, and his talent is amazing. β
"Hehe, is it......" Phil snorted, "You'd better not tell him these things, young people can't praise him too much." β
Lily next to her spoke happily, and gave Qiao Li a few looks, and the smile on her face seemed to say, "Look at this stubborn old guy, haha!"
"It's true, but yesterday his short film ratings, I heard it was very good, and I can sue him for this. Hanks praised again, and said the second half of the sentence to Lily.
Lily smiled: "Mr. Hanks, when I heard that you were willing to invest in him, I was really stunned, incredible! With that, she glanced at her father, "Isn't that Dad?"
"Hehehe, hehe......" was treated like this by his baby daughter, Phil was so depressed that he almost fell to the ground, and he had to say: "Yes, yes." β
......
"On the sea, a pale moon rises, a ship will take you home, and dawn will comeβ"
In the hall of Bard's house, the five people sang the theme song of "The Lord of the Rings 3", among which the "Lion King Group" sang the loudest, until the awards ceremony officially began, they watched the live TV, from night to more than nine o'clock in the evening, bursts of laughter, comments, and shouting!
The most enthusiastic was when Tom Hanks took the stage to introduce a video clip that paid tribute to the famous comedian Bob Hope.
One was when Liv Taylor took the stage to introduce the original song award nominees to the performers.
Another time was when Phil Collins and Sting teamed up on stage to present the award for Best Original Score, and when the live camera swept to the guest seats, Lily entered the camera.
The rest are "Lord of the Rings 3" winning moments, 11 times! 11 nominations are not missed! As a fan of the Lord of the Rings series, what could be happier than this?
Maybe it's time for Peter Jackson to announce that he will be filming a prequel or a sequel.
Sean Penn and Charlize Theron won the best actor and queen respectively, and "The Lord of the Rings 3" won 11 statuettes including Best Picture and Best Director, tying the all-time record and dominating the 76th Oscars with a sweep.
And Sofia Coppola, the third talented woman in history to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Director (an American woman), finally went home with the honor of Best Original Screenplay.
For the second time in history, she, her father, Francis Coppola, and her grandfather, Camery Coppola, have held Oscars for three generations.
Talented!
And a little genius...... At the age of 13, Caesar Custer Hewyce, the youngest nominee for the Oscar for Best Actress ("Whale Rider", her first screen appearance), did not win, but she received numerous accolades!
Oscar Night has just begun, and various celebrations and pies are being held, but for ordinary TV viewers like Ye Wei, it is already over.
The next day, sure enough, the entertainment version of the print media was all Oscar news, and probably only when the "Class Bowl Incident" happened again not long ago would Justin Timberlake repent.
There are two types of images on the layout, one is the winning photo and the other is the red carpet show photo.
Jennifer Garner, who wore an orange Greek-style one-shoulder dress, was in the limelight and was named the "best dressed" of this year by many authoritative media, covering up the brilliance of Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie and others.
In the fashion industry, her stylist Rachel Zoe is also in the limelight!
In this regard, Ye Wei naturally went to congratulate the text message, and Rachel Zoe replied to him: "Remember, fashion is worn, don't waste your capital." β
It took the right time, and it wasn't until a few days after the Oscars ended, when an average of 43.56 million North American viewers watched the end of the film event that the awards ceremony was live-streamed, and it began to cool down and begin to become a decimal in the print media.
At the same time, "Dance of Angels" is becoming more and more famous, not only with an average of 1.15 million viewers, but also with a flood of praise from Nickelodeon, with children praising the film from children both online and offline, saying that they are deeply moved and hoping to broadcast it again.
In fact, the copyright of the short film does not belong to Nickelodeon, and it is not up to them to decide how many times they want to broadcast it, but if they want to watch it. viyγ com!
The number of visitors to the website has exceeded 200,000, and there is a characteristic that the conversion rate of visitors is very high! If you look at the message board, you can see that there are more than 11,000 teenagers chanting VIy, most of them are Asian, but also all other races, and most of them are girls.
The time has come to March 5th, it's time, whether it is Ye Wei or the equally popular Anna Sophia Robb, it's time to appear.
On this morning, the largest folio daily newspaper in the western United States, the movie sub-page of the entertainment edition of the Los Angeles Times, which runs more than 1oo pages and more than 1oo pages every day, appeared in a personal interview that occupies most of the page, and there is a handsome photo next to the text: an Asian teenager holding the director's viewfinder!
