Chapter 376: Oscars
The huge success of the Star Wars trilogy naturally completely changed the entire Hollywood movie landscape.
Many sci-fi films have taken advantage of the trend and squeezed other genres into the corner, a phenomenon that is not only seen at the box office, but also in various film awards. During that time, everyone who won awards had sci-fi films.
The two most important awards, the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars, are completely dominated by the Star Wars series of movies. Needless to say, the Golden Globes themselves are controlled by Freemasonry organizations and are very concerned about DreamWorks films. Especially this time, Alex's film is so good, as long as he can give awards, he will give them.
If it weren't for the balance and make the show look more lively, maybe the Star Wars trilogy would have been able to win all the Golden Globe awards.
Even if it does, there's nothing wrong with that.
The Star Wars trilogy is too strong, and the impact is too great. As a result, the films of other film companies are many times different from it, and they are lagging behind by many years. Fortunately, Alex is still a relatively low-key person, and he privately pushed away some irrelevant awards, and only won the Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and other awards.
As for Best Actor and Best Actress, they will definitely not be able to escape. The three Carpenter siblings took turns on stage to accept the award, and as for the rest of the crew, they also had a chance to go up. Originally, there was also a Best Supporting Actor, which was intended to be given to Alex, who played the Black Warrior, but he thought that he had won too many awards. It shouldn't be too much, if this continues, people will say that the Golden Globe Awards have been contracted by them.
"It's not good!" Alex said to the head of the Golden Globe Awards.
"But, that can't be helped!" The person in charge cried and said: "You also know that although we run this award, the people who voted for the film were indeed randomly selected, all of whom were journalists, film critics, and university professors. They're all voting for the Star Wars movie, so we can't fix the results, right? ”
Alex thought for a moment and said, "You can guide it." Let's just say that it's not good to let the same movie win too many awards. It will affect other films to win awards. ”
So under the guidance of well-intentioned people, Alex finally did not continue to win other awards, otherwise, it is estimated that he would have been won by the people of DreamWorks at the awards party that day. He didn't want that to happen. After all, this kind of award is nothing to him and DreamWorks.
After the Golden Globes won the award. The Oscars are about to be awarded.
This time. The Oscars committee greeted Alex in advance and wanted to ask him which awards he was going to compete for. Although "Red Alert" had already given Alex the Best Director Award before this, it slightly made up for the reputation of the Oscars. The damage caused by the denial did not continue, but the Oscars committee still wanted Alex to show more support.
Even people who don't know the inside story of Lu Dao know how influential Alex is in Hollywood. If Alex can get his support, then Oscar's influence will definitely grow, and the future will become brighter.
"Awards?"
Alex looked at each other and said, the person sent by Oscar is a peripheral member of the Illuminati, and he can be regarded as a person in the circle. That person naturally knew Alex's identity, his task was just to run errands, if Alex said that he was going to win the Oscars, then he didn't have to say anything at all, just go back and get everything ready.
As for the opinion of the people behind him, or the Illuminati, of course, it was up to Alex to do whatever he wanted.
Thinking about the following, Alex said, "Just give me the Best Director Award, and nothing else!" ”
After a pause, he added, "I mean the awards that involve me, and as for the others, it depends on everyone's strength." If you can win the prize, then take it, and if you can't get it, forget it. ”
After receiving Alex's reply, the person who came finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll go back and convey your meaning now." ”
To be honest, if it were only Alex himself, he wouldn't be willing to show up for an award. He is now making movies entirely out of interest, not for any fame and fortune, these things no longer mean anything to him. Now he is fully able to understand the thoughts of those masters, when they reach a certain height, fame and fortune are just things of the past, and only strength and life are real.
However, Alex didn't want to hide in a place where no one knew him for the time being. He is still very young and has a lot to do. At least this world has not been transformed into what he wants, then he can't leave the human world.
Time flies very fast, and it took more than a year for the three Star Wars movies to be filmed and released.
The 1967 Academy Awards were held at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in California, USA. The host is Bob? Hopper, an American comedy and film actor, is a very prolific actor. In his acting career, he has made more than 50 films, more than 280 TV works, and served as the host of the Oscars a total of 18 times, setting a record for the most times he has served as an Oscar host.
It just so happens that Hope is also a working actor on ABC TV, which may be a deliberate arrangement by the Oscar committee, or it may be a coincidence. Alex had met with Hope a few times, but had not spoken a word.
Hope is worthy of being a comedian, and he is very good at stirring up the atmosphere when he is hosting the awards. At the same time, he also has a kind of "personality strength" that can affect the people around him, for example, when he presented an award to an actor, he teased the other party's mood in a few words, and then the two pretended to be a little golden statuette and fought, which made the audience happy for a while.
However, when he faced Alex, he suddenly became restrained. Don't dare to make faces. put away the previous nonsense, and handed out the little golden figure to Alex in a serious manner.
When they saw this situation, the audience was surprised, and they all waited for Hope to make a sudden move to make Alex funny. Some people thought that Hope was dissatisfied with Alex winning this award, so he made such a gesture.
As for Alex himself, he didn't mind joking: "Mr. Hope, why do you seem to have changed people all of a sudden?" Are you a fake? ”
Hope quickly coughed and said, "Absolutely not!" Mr. Alex, I just wanted to give my throat a break. I just talked too much. ”
Alex smiled. He nodded and said, "Well, that's good!" That's a very good answer, I thought, if you dare to rob me of the little gold man. You won't have to go to work tomorrow! ”
Hope was slightly stunned. Everyone was stunned for a moment. But it soon dawned on him that Alex was joking with Hope!
Ha Lu Ha! Hahaha!
Even Hope herself laughed, perhaps because of that. His nervousness disappeared all at once. Instead, he followed Alex's words: "I'm not afraid of being expelled, but I'm afraid that the Black Warrior will kill me with his mind!" ”
When Alex heard this, he immediately handed the little golden man to his left hand, and freed his right hand to volley the void: "Then you are dead, look at my Force Throat Locker!" ”
"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”
Hope put his hands on his throat and let out a miserable scream, before falling to the ground. Seeing this scene, the audience was shocked, and they really thought that Alex had used the Force to bring Hope down.
However, someone soon reacted: "This is playing with all of us!" ”
So the laughter rang out, and Alex raised the little golden figure in his hand and bowed to the audience. Hope also quickly got up from the ground, walked to the microphone and said: "This is the winner of the 39th Academy Award for Best Director, Mr. Alex!" ”
Ha Lu Ha! Smack!
Laughter and applause rang out at the same time, and Amid everyone's cheers, Alex slowly walked back to his place. Cullen, Richard and the others immediately surrounded him, and Alex handed the little golden figure to Cullen to play with.
As for the others, they congratulated Alex one after another, some came up to hug, some shook hands, and some just came over to say a few words. After dealing with the men, Alex turned his head to see that Cullen was still playing with the little golden man.
Seeing that his sister liked the little golden man so much, Alex smiled: "Haven't you already won the Oscar?" Why do you still want it? ”
"I've only won two, and they're both Best Supporting Actress awards, if it's the Actress Award, that's good!" Cullen handed the little golden figure back to Alex and looked at the stage expectantly.
"Ha Luha, you will definitely win the Best Actress this time!" Alex said with great certainty that he had already seen the list, and knew that Karen could not only win Best Actress, but also Best Music Award.
Yes!
Cullen had a really good music clip in the Star Wars films, where she sang a song called "Moonlight", which was done with Alex's help. The lyrics describe a woman in the moonlight, confused by the road and uneasy about the transience of life, so she exclaims: "Don't let life pass like this, try to grasp as much as you have now!" ”
"Embrace the wonderful things in front of you, as the moonlight in front of you envelops the world......"
This song is not a later song, but a new song written by Karen under the guidance of Alex. The style is very lyrical and slow, much like Nordic tunes, which is quite rare in this era. However, in the film, the song that Princess Leah confides in is very appropriate and touching, and if it weren't for the other elements of the film that are too eye-catching, maybe everyone will focus on this clip.
Even so, Cullen's singing in the film quickly became a classic, and the song was so popular that it became even more beloved when Cullen won the Academy Award.
In the end, when the Oscars ended, the films in the Star Wars series won a total of ten awards, including Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Visual Effects, Best Editing, Best Original Music, Best Sound Effects, Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Actor, and a Special Contribution Award.
