Chapter 367. 【Oscar】
At the same time as Yi Feiyang and Martin Saxise were talking, the host "Pulsatilla" Steve Martin stood up, as an old fritter who served as the host of the Oscar Gala, Steve Martin still maintained his witty and humorous style: "I am very happy to see that the organizers have lowered the standards of this awards gala, and it is said that next time even the traditional red carpet will be canceled, if you don't know yet, I will bring this message to you by the way." Then he joked with himself, "This is my third time hosting the Oscars, and it makes me feel like I'm in a relationship with another lover, and I can't be more excited." ”
"Movie stars can play all types of roles, tall, short, fat, skinny, sometimes dressed as politicians and sometimes as street beggars. I admire them, I adore them, and sometimes I resent them, because every time the Oscars they are sitting and only I am standing! ”
"Remember, dear friends, no matter what happens next, there will be absolutely no losers tonight, it's just that some of us have changed roles."
……
A series of witty remarks, the atmosphere was very happy, in such a pleasant atmosphere, Steve announced the official start of the 75th Academy Awards, and the performance on the stage quickly attracted the attention of the two.
After several awards were announced, "Chicago" and "Artificial Intelligence" lived up to expectations and each won the best cinematic sound and best visual effects awards that were most likely to win the awards, while "Chicago" musician David Lee and "Artificial Intelligence" VFX director Scott Faller walked up to the stage to accept the awards as if they had agreed to do so.
"Music is at the service of cinema. I'm in the service of music. So this award is first thanks to this film. Thanks again for the music that inspired me! David Lee laughed.
"According to David Lee's words, I also serve the film, but I take the salary of the film company, so I also serve the company, and now I have won the award, I just hope that the salary can be increased in the future, not to give me face, but also to give face to the Oscars, right?" Scott Faller held the narrator aloft. Said seriously into the microphone.
Everyone laughed. Commenting on Chicago's Best Sound Award, host Steve Martin said: "As people feel when they see the film, it makes sense that Chicago won this award, and it's a really good film, especially when it comes to music. Now, I'm ready to sleep listening to it every night...... Very good lullaby! ”
The crowd burst into laughter again.
One after another, amid the smiles, cheers, whistles and applause of all the spectators, the Oscars finally passed the moment of laughter, and immediately, several heavyweight awards were announced.
Spielberg's Artificial Intelligence. won the Best Visual Effects and Best Makeup two Oscars. And "Chicago" and "The Pianist" also won several awards such as best sound, best costume, and best art direction. In contrast, Yi Feiyang's "Slumdog Millionaire" is even more bullish, after a round of competition, temporarily defeated "Chicago", which received 13 nominations, and directly won six awards for Best Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Original Song, Best Original Music, Best Sound Synthesis, and Best Cinematography.
Yi Feiyang, who is only 26 years old at the young age, is not sorry for his reputation as "God's Son" and "Miraculous Yang" at all, and soon after the award ceremony began, he won six awards in one fell swoop, becoming the most eye-catching focus in the eyes of everyone, or the focus of attention.
At the same time, the more tragic is the old director Martin Saxis, as if he was hit by the crow's mouth, and several nominations for his film have all gone home, and now there are only two Best Actor and Best Director left.
In order to console this legend of immortality, host Steve Martin said: "It is worth mentioning that although Scorsese's film has not won an award for the time being, his "Gangs of New York" has set an amazing box office record in 38 states in the United States. It's just a pity that the audience buys it, which doesn't mean that the Oscar judges buy it, but it doesn't matter, we expected such a result, so we arranged you next to China Yi, he is the big winner now, and you can also touch his joy, man! ”
That's right, Yi Feiyang at this time is definitely the big winner tonight, winning six awards in one play, he has already defeated poor Spielberg, and the scenery is infinite, which is really envious, jealous and hateful.
As the object of attention, Yi Feiyang sat calmly, and he was not surprised to win six awards at once, because in his previous life, he won eight for this play! It's just that this time the competitors are too strong, and the number of awards they have won may shrink a little. Now, Yi Feiyang has only one goal, that is, the Oscar for Best Picture, which is the goal that he has always kept in mind since he realized the charm of the movie, and constantly motivates himself to move forward.
Of course, who wouldn't want to be an Oscar for Best Director? However, he has already won a handful with the last "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and if he has to score twice, he is happy to accept it.
It's just that in Yi Feiyang's view, his movie was proved by the Oscar, which is more meaningful and worth the effort than his own directing being proved by the Oscar.
Own movies are the best, not yourself.
Yi Feiyang, whose blood is full of movie elements, has already realized something.
Soon, the first big play came.
Host Steve looked at the audience in the audience and grinned, "Best Actress? Oh God, I love those girls! ”
The audience laughed understandingly, and Steve then said: "The former Oscar for Best Actor, the top superstar in Hollywood, let us welcome the next award presenter, the eternal actor - Denzel Washington!"
Thunderous applause rang out, and Yi Feiyang couldn't help but clap his hands happily, because neither the Best Actress nor the Best Actor had a share in his film, not to mention, the Oscars of the United States would not award these two awards to outsiders.
But this principle seems to be about to be broken. Because after a fierce competition. This year's Best Actress went to Nicole Kidman, the heroine of "All the Moments".
Therefrom. Nicole Kidman became the first Australian actor to win an Academy Award for Best Actress.
For Nicole Kidman's excellent performance, host Steve Martin also did not forget to tease: "Nicole Kidman has never used a fake nose in the movies she starred in before, so this time "All the Time" brought her good luck. Nicole, your fake nose looks good! ”
Nicole Kidman couldn't care about the host's ridicule, she was extremely excited to accept the Best Actress award from Denzel Washington, was incoherent for a while, didn't say anything and cried first, and then unexpectedly cried while saying: "Russell Chloe told me." If you win, don't cry on the podium. But I cried anyway. The audience immediately burst into laughter.
It turned out that the whole circle has been rumored recently about her affair with the previous actor Russell Crowe, so when Nicole mentioned Russell, the big guys all laughed.
So much so that after receiving the award and stepping down, almost all reporters' questions were aimed at her "gaffe". But Nicole immediately put on a very confused look, and said innocently, "I don't remember what I said at the time." You know, I was so surprised that I was talking nonsense. You tell me if it's okay, what the hell did I say? Who are you mentioning? ”
Under the repeated questioning of reporters, she began to talk about him left and right again. After a while, he said, "I don't have glasses, so it's a little difficult to see you." At another moment, she talked about her relationship with her mother and daughter. also cried and said with a sad face: "I forgot to mention Dad, I didn't mean to, but I'm angry with him." Then he cutely asked the reporter how the word "pajamas" is said in the United States. The elders were really embarrassed to see her, so they had to let it go.
After awarding Best Actress, the next step was Best Actor, as if to prove that tonight was a miracle night, and finally the new actor Adrien Brody won the crown for the role of "The Pianist".
Tall and thin, handsome appearance, similar to the young El Pacino, coupled with amazing acting talent, Adrien Brody became the youngest actor in Oscar history when he was about to "stand".
His solid performance is deeply touching for the suave protagonist. In order to shoot this film, he "gave up everything", practiced the piano for four hours a day, and lost 30 pounds. With such hard work, he finally achieved a rich reward, holding high the Oscar statuette and becoming the most dazzling actor tonight!
In contrast, Leonardo of "Gangs of New York" once again rejoiced in the air and became a foil, green leaf!
Poor director Martin Saxis, only the last Best Director nomination remains, if he fails again, he will become the biggest joke of this Oscars, all the nominations, none of them won!
……
With the appearance of the Oscar winner, the audience applauded wildly throughout the awards ceremony, and the atmosphere jumped to the top.
After the queen Madonna performed a heart-wrenching classic old song "You Must Love Me", the 75th Oscars finally came to the most exciting moment, the award moment for the best director!
"Ladies and gentlemen, who will win the next and most important award, Best Director? Does it belong to China Yi, which represents the rise of the younger generation of directors in Hollywood, Roman Polanski, who bombarded our hearts with epic blockbusters, or Spielberg, a great director who was nominated for "Artificial Intelligence", or Martin Saxis, who has not won an award as a great director? Please wait and see!" The host's eyes swept over the countless excited and excited faces below, and he announced loudly: "The best director is ......"
The rising and falling drumbeats roared, making fans involuntarily affect their moods, countless Chinese who entered the venue shouted Yi Feiyang's name loudly, and a wave of Chinese made the American Oscars seem to be held in China.
And Yi Feiyang just sat calmly, concentrating, this highest honor in the film industry made his heart surge, but he only forced himself to calm down. Especially when he knew that in his previous life, the director of "Poor Millionaire" won the best director crown, will he be the same and be the king again? !
Several other candidates are also full of nervousness, although Yi Feiyang is known as the super favorite for Best Director at this year's Oscars, he is too young after all, not to mention that he has already won Best Director once last year. Oscar wouldn't have favored him so much. Give him another encouragement, right? So the other candidates are hoping for a miracle. snatched Xiao Jinjin, the best director, from Yi Feiyang, disappointed this big hit.
As if hearing the voices of these people, the Oscar god was embarrassed to award the award to Yi Feiyang again, so he ......
"The best director is - ahaha, our oldest director, the myth of never old - Martin Saxis!"
The award presenters looked at the golden envelope in their hands and excitedly announced the entry of all those present.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Stunned.
Old Martin, who was almost stripped naked at the awards, couldn't help but cry, and Nima was almost killed by the Oscars. If he misses even the last award, it will become the biggest laughing stock tonight, and even in the history of the Oscars.
For such a result, Yi Feiyang was also unexpected, Nima, it's amazing! Today's results are out of the orbit of the previous life.
In the previous life, the miracle of "Millionaire" winning eight awards is no more, at least it has lost the most valuable award for best director. Could it be that everything has changed?!
Yes, in fact, since Yi Feiyang appeared in this time and space, many things have changed. The wings of the butterfly stir. Changing everything around you. You must know that the drama "Gangs of New York" almost didn't win the Oscars in the previous life, but now. The elder Martin won the "Best Director" unbelievably, dumping Spielberg, Roman Polanski and the others behind the ass, which is a miracle in itself.
Yi Feiyang was stunned for three seconds, but he immediately came back to his senses, after all, Old Martin is very respectable, he is also a good person, a good director, not to mention anything else, just with his age, and such strong creativity and combat effectiveness, this is worthy of recognition.
Therefore, when Old Martin was excited and carried away, Yi Feiyang, who was sitting next to him, reminded: "Hey, old man, wipe away your tears!" Hurry up and claim your prize! ”
Old Martin was reminded, so he thanked him, staggered onto the stage, and almost fell down halfway because he was too excited.
"Thank you, thank you all! I know that maybe this award is just for my comfort, but I'm happy and confident in the path I'm on...... Again, as long as I can move around, I'll always make good movies! Not for anything else, just because I love you guys, and I love movies even more! Old Martin held the trophy aloft and tears flowed from his eyes.
This is the cry of an old filmmaker, and this is the voice of an indomitable director.
Thunderous applause.
Everyone gave a standing ovation, for this old naughty boy of the movie, for this old director who decided to dedicate his life to the movie!
Do you think this is the high ~ tide of this Oscar?
No, it's not over yet!
The moment of the announcement of the Best Picture Award is here!
"Roar! The final act is here! Let's see who the winner of the Best Picture award is! Host Steve said into the microphone, and five film candidates appeared on the screen of the stage.
"Chicago" - the big stage of Chicago with singing and dancing, the life of drunken gold fans, the temptation of fame and fortune, love, career, dance, and conspiracy, woven into a picture scroll of a big era!
"The Pianist" - the deported Jews, in those dangerous years, poor people living in concentration camps, for survival, for ideals, for relatives, the pianist plays a free dance, music communicates everything, there is no you and me, there is no nationality.
"Artificial Intelligence" - the popularization of artificial intelligence in the future, challenging ethics, lost children, can come back to you, but that cold machine, does it understand human feelings? When the child weeps, all intelligence is lost.
"Gangs of New York" - On the streets of New York in the United States, the Irish gang and the rabbit gang engage in a murderous fight, a song of knives and fire, a collision of fists and power, when all this encounters grievances and hatreds, democracy and freedom, and dirty politics, do you know that will change?
"Slumdog Millionaire" - Under the warm sun, the Indian slums smell of mold, everyone is focused on the millions of guesses on TV, and the bizarre slashing of Indian teenagers brings everyone's doubts about life. This is the lowest area of human beings, but what comes out here is the most wonderful philosophy of life.
……
These five films are all masterpieces, and the audience looks at the screen, whispering, guessing who will win the Oscar for Best Picture.
Yi Feiyang listened to the cheers around him, many movie stars sitting next to him, whether they knew each other or not, came over to cheer him on, this magical Chinese director is now the hottest and promising guy in Hollywood, if he can mix up with a familiar face, maybe he will remember himself and give himself a role in the next movie.
Greeting them in a friendly manner and thanking them for their support, Yi Feiyang paid more attention to the best picture, even more than the best director award he had just lost. Because from his point of view, the best picture is an affirmation of his own movie, and only when his own film is affirmed, this is what really excites and makes him happy.
And other directors would never look at China Yi to win the best picture like this, this is the Oscar, man! How much of the highest honor you have coveted! Look at Spielberg, although his face is calm, the hand on his knee is trembling slightly, and Roman Polanski is even more nervous, as for the old Martin Saxes, who has just won the award, his face is so dull that he turns a deaf ear to the huge shouts behind him, just staring at the host's mouth, hoping to hear his name!
"Hey, don't be afraid, it must be you!" Anne Hathaway smiled, but she was full of trust in her lover, Yi Feiyang happily held her hand, having such a caring and beautiful girl with her company is the most important thing in life. (To be continued......)
