Chapter 615: Thank you, Ye Wei
"Eddie Murphy, a comedy great, had to turn into a serious actor and master the problematic heart of a musical genius who was a senior. Former child star Jackie Earl Hallied has to find a tender side in the hated pedophile. The sophisticated Stanley Tucci is going to throw himself into the psychology of a pedophile serial killer who is outraged. John Hakes wants to make himself a fierce but affectionate barren mountain drug dealer. Mark Wahlberg must find a way to play the Boston cop, the kind of cop he himself arrested 25 times as a young man. ”
As Weisz read out the list of nominees, there was a round of applause in the Kodak Theatre, and each screen on the scene showed live video clips of the various finalists, with Mr. Harvey smiling in the cornfield and seducing Susie: "You're the eldest daughter of the Sarmon family, aren't you?" Uncle Tears confronts Samp-Milton at the farmhouse: "If she does something wrong, you count it on me." Liz and Jennifer are both present in the video.
"They call that kind of role a supporting role. The camera returns to the stage, and the five nominees on the big screen have different expressions, with Tucci's smile being the most comfortable. Weisz opened the envelope and looked at the results, and said, "The winner is ...... Eddie Murphy, "Dream Girl" ”
The audience burst into warm applause, which was not an upset, and the four losers laughed without any disappointment. The five nominees are all first-time nominees without old qualifications, following the Golden Globe Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, etc., the biggest favorite Eddie Murphy won the Oscar.
But many fans of the twin bones are disappointed, although they can't wait to finish off Mr. Harvey with their own hands, but it shows that Tuqi acted well, and there are tears.
Ye Wei had already returned to the guest seat, and the atmosphere of the people around him was average, of course he would not be happy, and whispered to Lily: "It's not bad for comedians to be recognized for acting in dramas." Lily whispered, "I don't even care too much about them." He looked at her with a smile, "What do you care?" and she squeezed his hand.
Jennifer looked at the two of them, I could hear it, I couldn't stand it if I heard so well.
After Eddie Murphy received the award, it was Ellen Show time again. Alan walked down the aisle between the middle and right seats in the front of the main hall with a copy of the papers, made fun of Wahlberg, went to the front row and interviewed Martin Scorsese, and after a few words of praise, it turned out to be to sell her play, about a family of brothers and an aunt called "Good Mom." The guests burst into laughter, not only because of Allen's behavior, but also because of Martin Sr.'s classic "Goodfellas", and he is a professional in gangster films, so he doesn't make warm family films. Martin Sr. smiled and accepted the script and promised to read it at the ceremony.
Alan then introduced the Pallas Dance Company and its directors to the stage, where they will perform shadow dances to interpret this year's nominees tonight, and soon they will perform a flock of penguins from Happy Feet behind the curtain. After Lenaondo introduced "The Departed", the nominees for "Cars" Our-Town and I-Need-To-Wake-Up for "The Inconvenient Truth" were performed by the finalists.
The applause continued, Lenaondo and former Vice President Al Gore appeared on the stage, and tonight the former vice president tried to have fun, as soon as Lenaondo appeared, Lenaondo said: "Mr. Gore, there are so many people here tonight, even more than in your hometown, is there anything you want to announce on this?" The guests laughed and chanted, and Gore's loss to George W. Bush in his hometown of Tennessee was the main reason for his defeat. Gore reluctantly said: "I'm just here for the movie, Leon, and tonight I'm here to thank the elite of the film industry." ”
The two then made a special report on the Academy's plans to protect the environment, and then Leonardo smiled and asked Gore, "Now, are you sure that all your previous efforts will not make you want to announce another big thing to the world tonight?" Gore sighed and said, "Well, I really appreciate it, Leon, I am amazed at the enthusiasm of everyone, I think everyone is sincere." Seriously, I'm not going to do that, I think there are a billion viewers watching, and this should be the right time. He took a copy of the speech from inside his jacket, "So, dear American people, I would now like to take this opportunity to officially announce that I am going to ......."
At this moment, the ceremony music thundered, and the laughter of the audience, Gore, who was expelled, shrunk his shoulders in fright, the audience applauded, and the camera shot Streep and Otto were laughing, Gore's self-defeating acting skills are really high.
Gore and the two laughed and returned backstage.
After the commercial break, Alan hosted a "recycling" joke, but it wasn't very funny, and the biggest reaction from the guests was that she said "Anyway" boringly.
She led Cameron Diaz to award Best Animated Feature, and Diaz presented the winner of the upset, beating Cars' Happy Feet. The happy penguin, the depressed car, and the three children from "Monster House" all appeared in the live video in the form of animated special effects.
This is George Miller's fourth nomination and first award. He was seated in the middle of the back, and then he happily and struggled to squeeze into the aisle to go up the stage to accept the award. The applause was high, and as a fan of the "Mad Max" series, Ye Wei really gave a standing ovation excitedly, and several girls also got up.
After George Miller's happy speech, Ben Affleck, who won the Best Original Screenplay award, appeared on the "tribute to the screenwriter", speaking behind the glass podium: "Some people say 'write what you know', and what screenwriters know best is a journey that begins on a blank page, and Oscar-nominated director and screenwriter Nancy Meyers has edited an affectionate clip about how the writer has been described in films over the past 70 years, a constant thing - the creative process." ”
The short film was broadcast on the big screen, some writing on a typewriter, some with a pen, and some on a computer, "I'm a writer, so I don't like to meddle." "I'm a playwright, and I write plays that don't happen. "I'm an artist!"
Inseparable from the Coen brothers' "Patton-Fink", at the USO Club ball, Barton pointed to his head and roared madly at the people: "This is my uniform, this is where I serve ordinary people, here is ......" A man in a sailor's uniform walked up and pressed him on the shoulder, and as soon as he turned around, he was punched in the face by a man.
"Hahaha!" The laughter in the theater was very sporadic, almost all the guests stopped at smiling, but Ye Wei laughed unscrupulously, not afraid of offending the screenwriters. Jennifer couldn't help but laugh out loud at him, "I like it here, too." Ye Wei said excitedly: "Brother Coen is a genius!" Lily looked at the two of them and reached out and high-fived from the middle, hey... I am here......
Ye Wei didn't just laugh at the funny of this paragraph, it was actually very ironic and very sad.
After experiencing the oppression of reality, the struggle of the soul, and the torment of loneliness, Barton finally finished the script! The next day, he arrived at the USO ball in high spirits, but he was first asked to dance with his dance partner, and his refusal led to a conflict, and the others besieged him, and he was excitedly defended and knocked down by a punch.
Patton, who pursues "pain is the source of creation", gave everything in order to write "good works that belong to the public with art", and the public not only did not appreciate it, but also despised him and beat him, because everyone has their own heads, and no one is really rare out of the service of the head, and at the same time implied that Patton has completed no longer the work he is pursuing, he has changed, but it is not Hollywood that changes people, it is people's desires, ambitions, needs, "Hollywood" It allows the down-and-out idealists to see what kind of life the glamorous realists live and what beautiful women they have, and then ask the question, do the masses really need art? and then give a choice, do you really want ideals and not wealth? Even if wealth and nobility are mostly despicable and vulgar?
Satisfied, surging, and self-appreciative Patton, who was in the middle of his creation, took the punch, he understood that his ideals would never be realized, that his loneliness would always be there, that he had changed, that he had made his choice, but that what he felt was the best work was scolded by the boss as worthless, and that the public would not like that pile of garbage at all. He's also stuck with a contract with the studio, and he can write something that belongs to the studio, and the studio will never produce it. This is the ending of the film for Barton, which is also the creation itself, the pain.
"For the first time in my life, I couldn't write something, and I couldn't get inspiration. ”
"I haven't written a word yet. ”
"It's like my quill is broken. ”
"It's not 46 pages, it's the same page 46 times. ”
Writers suffer from Carvin, some are in a daze at the blank paper, some are restless.
"Must be great to be a writer?"
"Hehehehe...... Seriously?"
Someone threw shoes, someone repeated the same phrase "All-work-and-no-play-makes-Jack-a-dull-boy", someone crumpled paper balls, someone threw an entire typewriter out the window.
Writers also suffer from revisions, bosses, editors, friends, family, everyone who has read the manuscript to point fingers.
"I don't like the title and some of the characters. ”
"So you've read it?"
"I haven't read it yet, but I will. ”
"Isn't there anything in the first draft that you think could be left behind?"
"The stage directions were clear, the best I've ever seen, and the color of the folders was great. ”
"Fink, you're not a writer at all!"
Bang! Writers drink to drown their sorrows, smoke cigarettes, and wipe cold sweats......
"I've got an idea, I've got an idea, the first good idea in four months!"
"Boys need girls, boys lose girls, boys get girls. Girls need boys, girls lose boys, girls get boys again. Bet your money on love, love never goes out of style!"
"I like that idea!"
THE WRITERS WERE SPURRED WITH EXCITEMENT AND GIGGLED IN FRONT OF THE TYPEWRITER, WRITING PAGE AFTER PAGE, TYPING THE-END.
"It's done, it's over!" says Melvin Uday (Jack Nicholson), the romance novelist from "Perfect."
The video ended, and to the applause of the guests, the live video returned to the theater and was aimed at Nicholson, who was holding a pen and writing something on the label paper in the palm of his hand. After a few seconds, the narrator says, "Helen Mirren, who has been nominated three times, and Tom Hanks, who has won two times, will present us with the best adapted screenplay." ”
The two guests walked out of the passage, and the boiling applause continued, and there was a whistle.
At this time, the secrets in the TV audience were in high spirits, calling friends to watch ABC channel! As we all know, Hanks is Ye Wei's nobleman, and the double-nominated Ye Wei won the award nine out of nine, and the academy's arrangement for Hanks to present the award is really ingenious.
"If you've ever read a book and think this story makes a good movie. Then you've taken the first step towards being nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. Mirren on the left is full of queenly style, and Hanks on the right takes over: "There are other 1,200 steps, but ...... first" His clumsy lyrics and the nine-step success rule of "Little Sunshine Beauty" caused a burst of laughter, "Admit that you have no resistance to beautiful girls and make a mess of life." This pair of Ye Wei's teasing made the laughter louder, and there was a girl's call!
"Step 2......" Hanks was about to say, but Mirren hurriedly stopped him, "Tom, Tom." ”
"Oops, I said the wrong thing. Hanks' face was paralyzed, "Okay, then let's skip to the last step, when your name appears on the list of nominees." There will also be a short excerpt from your script. Here are the nominees for this year's Best Adapted Screenplay. ”
The big screen cut to the nominations, and Mirren read first: "Sasha Baron Cohen, Anthony Haynes, Peter Barn Hamm, Dan Matzel, Todd Phillips, "Borat: Learning American Culture to Build the Great Motherland of Kazakhstan", based on the original series role of Sasha Baron Cohen. There was a small round of applause, and a clip of the film was broadcast, and Mirren introduced: "Borat walked to the center of the bullring and said to the audience. "I'm Borat from Kazakhstan, and I want to say first and foremost that we support your war on terror. The crowd at the bullring applauded and cheered. There was also applause in the theater.
Hanks reads: "William Monaghan, "The Departed, based on the movie "Infernal Affairs." Beyond the two tables sat two priests and a nun, one old and one young, and Castro noticed this, and the nun got up and left. In the video, Castro says to Billy: "If your father were still alive and saw you sitting here with me, talking about the present." Even if he had to kill seven people to cut my throat, he could do it. The applause of the guests was even more enthusiastic.
Mirren read again: "Michael Arndt, Ye Wei, "Lovely Bones", adapted from the novel by Alice Sieberd. Susie was late for school that day, and she slipped in through the back door of the school and met the boy she had a crush on. In the video, Ray sits on a stage stand, "Hi. Susie looked up a little stupidly and asked with a smile, "Didn't you hear the bell for the first class?"
A burst of high-decibel applause, shouts and whistles erupted! In addition to Ye Wei's camp, there is also the extended relationship of executive producer Spielberg, and the hard-to-adapt TLB is one of the two favorites for the award all the way to the awards season, and the other is Winter Bone, which has the least controversy for winning the award.
The Sieberd couple who were also invited to attend next to him took a long breath, and Liz could feel the nervous expectations of everyone in the crew, why shouldn't she! The award speech was all about Ye Wei, it was him, right? Yesterday at the Independent Spirit Awards, I asked him if he was actually ready to accept the award, and he said no: "I will prepare after taking the period when I walk to the stage." ”
Hanks read again: "Patrick Marbo, Chronicle of the Scandal, based on the novel by Joey Heller. Barbara began to gently sweep her fingertips over Sheba's forearm, flicking back and forth, and Sheba felt a sense of shame in the silence. Barbara continued to flick Hiba's face, her chest under the leotard, and her arms, Barbara said. In the video, Barbara says softly, "What a good girl." Sheba abruptly pulled her hand away, "I think that's enough." Barbara said, "Close your eyes." Sheba said anxiously, "I really think that's enough, Barbara." The guests burst into applause.
Mirren finally read: "Ye Wei, "Bones of Winter", adapted from the novel by Daniel Woodrier. After Rui was beaten up at the farmhouse by a gang of drug dealers who were also relatives of her family, she was likely to be killed and disposed of, she said. In the video, Rui, who was beaten badly, lay on her side on the ground, looking at the ground drooping, "I have two younger brothers, and I can't take care of themselves...... My mom is sick, and she's been ... It won't be good. She burst into tears, her shoulders trembled, and her faint voice trembled: "It won't be long before the strip takes our house...... Get us out... Can only sleep in the field ... Same with dogs. The loud applause suddenly rose again, for Ye Wei's adaptation, for Jennifer's performance, and for this movie.
The guests and the audience who have seen the Winter Bone know that this is only a small part of the scene, not the most shocking, and those who have not seen the Winter Bone have been shocked, no wonder Alan said in the opening scene, Jennifer Lawrence, this is crazy.
Nina saw envy, admiration and expectation, and after a few months, she still clearly remembered the next scene of Rui, as if engraved in her heart. She supports Winter Bone to win the award!
"It was ...... that won the Oscar" returns to the stage in the middle of the shot, and Hanks opens the envelope and takes out the resulting piece of paper, looking down.
There are too many nominators, there is no five-grid split picture, and the audience can't see the expression of Ye Wei at the moment. At this moment, whether it is Herman Wright or Harvey Weinstein, whether it is Tucci, Reeves or Harkes, Weisz, Sarandon ...... Will Twin Bones win, and will the youngest Oscar for Best Screenplay be born?
"Brother, brother!" shouted in front of the TV screen of the party, Duoduo shouted, the surrounding family members and friends took a deep breath and were about to scream, and Lev and several people were holding the gift flower tube to twist it.
The air in the theater seemed to freeze, Lily raised her thick eyebrows and opened her eyes wide, Jennifer, Alicica, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Ye Wei couldn't help but shake his fingers, but he didn't want to shake Lily's hand to show his expectation. If the nominee guests here want to say that they don't want to win the award, it must be fake, and they will think about the slightest hope, not to mention that almost the whole world has long said and said that "this award is yours" is a big favorite, he wants to take the stage to thank many people and want to win this honor......
Hanks looked at the piece of paper in the eyes of all the audience, and announced the result without changing his expression:
William Monaghan, "The Departed." ”
As the words fell, Hanks pursed his mouth tightly, his chin wrinkled, and he was a little unhappy. Before the words were spoken, the theater burst into applause and cheers, but this one was not very consistent, there were cries of consternation, and excited shouts like boos!
"What the hell!!" Gia felt like she had blown up, others were afraid of offending Scorsese's gang, she was not afraid, she couldn't swallow this breath: "Shh!!h
"I can't believe it...... Emma doesn't have a good attitude either, William Monaghan stole the little gold man!
The audience was either surprised or surprised, the media in the backstage news room rushed to report, and the secrets in front of the TV were very disappointed and angry.
The only double-nominated screenwriter in history who loses, and the double nominees of all awards in recent years will win, but he didn't, and it was a big upset. Tonight everything is ready for his coronation, and in the end the king is not him. The result was even unexpected by the Academy.
In the live video, William Monaghan, who is very far behind the middle seat, is ecstatic, with a fat face flushed, on the way to the stage, hugging and celebrating with members of "The Departed". Some of the surrounding guests were applauding, and some were whispering with their palms over their mouths. At this time, the camera cut to Ye Wei in the front and close-up, this is really the unfriendly treatment that other behind-the-scenes losers can't get, he is clapping his palms, looking directly at the camera with some awareness, and slightly raising the corners of his mouth to reveal an expression of "I understand what's going on".
Seeing his brother laughing like this, Duoduo shed tears, and everyone hurriedly comforted them, the double nomination was already very remarkable!
"Dude......" Jennifer didn't know what to say, her mind was empty, "this sucks." Alicia sighed as she leaned back in her chair. Lily kept shaking her head with a tense face, a little frantically: "No, no... No, ......" Ye Wei held her hand and joked comfortingly: "Am I going to go up to him to fight?"
At the same time, Monaghan took the stage to take the little golden man from Mirren's hand, took out the prepared speech and spoke, and said excitedly that he was not in a good way, and said slowly:
"Thank you Academy, thank you to Warner Bros., all of us at Warner Bros., the writers of Infernal Affairs, Mak Siu-fai, Chong Man-keung, the producers and agents who were present and not there, all the people who made Infernal Affairs a success. Thank you Matt and Leon, they called each other after reading the script 'let's act', thank you Martin......"
"Thank you Ye Wei, thank you Ye Wei, thank you Ye Wei......" Liz silently dubbed Monaghan.
Nina got up and left the table to go to the bathroom, she knew that she was nothing, no one would notice at all on the second floor, it was just a tiny spot in the background, but she was going to protest with it.
When Monaghan's thanks were over, he and the two guests who had already accepted the results walked backstage with a smile, and the camera was everything:
"I'm Chris Connelly backstage, and all the elite filmmakers who attended the event tonight wouldn't have seen this celebration as just a horse race. ”
Connelly said as he walked down the bustling backstage aisle with a microphone in his right hand. Emily Blunt and Anne Heather, who were standing by the TV watching the ceremony and waiting to appear, noticed that the camera was here one after another, Blunt glanced at Connery and turned around, and Heather quickly smiled sweetly, leaned over and waved her hand to steal the spotlight.
"So we're here to do this, with the help of the latest technology, see? The camera focuses on a board of horses raised by Connery's left hand, and some of the horse's heads have run out before films like "Babel" and "Double Bones" are out of the house. Connery laughs: "So far, nine awards have been awarded, and the film part is divided between "The Departed", "Letter from Iwo Jima", "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Dream Girl". In addition, there are 3 big hits in the 9 awards, Best Animated Short Film, Best Animated Feature. ”
He paused, and then said very solemnly: "There is also the best adapted screenplay." The rest of the excitement continues, and the costume designers will fight fiercely!"
At this time, Connery walked to the trophy showroom, and the three Hanks, who had returned from the stage, were about to go down the aisle, and he interviewed Hanks and asked, "The show is still to come, right?"
"You're right, Chris, it's going to be even better!" Hanks replied with a smile, Mirren smiling, and Monaghan still hadn't come back to his senses.
"So, don't walk away. Connery laughs. The camera rotates along the trophy holder, connecting the ad time to soft music.
