Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
There were originally two films used by Firefly for the Olympic Games this year, "Interview with the Vampire" and "Pulp Fiction". $ F,
However, after the Oscar nomination was released, Eric only found that although the industry evaluation of "Interview with the Vampire" was good, Box Office also made a lot of money for Firefly, but vampire movies and comedies are not popular with Oscar judges. Firefly did a lot of work for the Oscar public relations of this movie, and finally got only the insignificant nominations for best makeup and best sound effects.
In the end, the heavy responsibility of Firefly to hit Oscar fell on "Pulp Fiction".
Although Eric joked with Kapoor that he is likely to fall asleep at the awards ceremony, the Oscar awards ceremony is often ridiculed too long. However, most of the people, except those who are old and lack of energy, have difficulty in the tense and fiery atmosphere of the Oscar awards ceremony.
I have to say that it ’s interesting to watch this awards ceremony, which is very different from the original time and space.
The original "Schindler's List" was one year ahead of schedule. In addition to "Pulp Fiction", this year's more popular nominated films are also "In the Name of the Father", "The Piano", 《Short Cuts》, etc., and Eric also unexpectedly found this year's best shortlisted In the foreign language film, two Chinese films appeared at the same time, one called 《The Wedding Banquet》 and one called "Farewell My Concubine", but the award for the best foreign language film finally fell to "Belle Epoque" played by Penélope.
In addition, Eric also noticed the Jane Campion that was nominated for the best Director with "The Piano". The Australian woman Director stopped on a nomination without suspense. Although I did not know it in detail, Eric also knows that there are very few women who have been nominated for the best Director in the history of Oscar. This will be a big variable for the next year's Oscar best Director. If Kathryn once again won the best Director nomination as a female with "Saving Private Ryan", then the judges of Oscar are likely to consider ignoring the female Director for two consecutive years. Yulun's risk.
After winning nothing in the best male lead, best male match and best female match, Quentin also lost to 《Short Cuts》's Robert Altman in the competition of the best Director without any suspense, good at shoots's Robert Altman Prior to this, he has been nominated for the best Director three times. Although the original time and space lost to Steven Speilberg, but this time, no one can really guide the Oscar of this veteran Director.
After Robert Altman and award guest Clint Eastwood left the stage, Eric standing in the background already had a hunch. This year's Oscar, "Pulp Fiction" may still only get one best Original Script award, but Eric does not care about this, as long as "Pulp Fiction" gets enough Box Office.
When the announcer shouted his name, Eric walked towards the stage with the envelope containing the best film results. As soon as he appeared, there was a very warm applause under the stage.
Eric smiled and walked in front of the microphone. I thought the applause would fall. I did n’t expect that the applause from the audience not only showed no signs of stopping, but became more and more heated.
Oscar is actually a party where everyone joins each other. As the host at a certain award ceremony ridiculed, a group of millionaires award each other. The popularity and power of Eric in Hollywood has increased in recent years, and it is not too surprising to receive such treatment.
The applause rang for half a minute before Eric pressed his hand and swept his eyes. He said with a smile: "Actually, when I received the invitation of this award-giving guest, I was very scared."
Although there is no obvious laugh in this sentence, the audience laughed softly.
"I always think that such an important award is at least 60 years old and above is more suitable for being an award guest, but Director immediately refuted me that you have done all the things that others can only do when they are 80 years old. It ’s time to give the award, so I ’ll come up. "
With the laughter from the audience, Eric said seriously: "But you should not expect anything, even if this award is awarded by me. The little gold man will definitely not be pure gold."
The audience knew that this was Eric's ridicule of his personal wealth, so there was another burst of laughter, and Eric cleared his throat, saying: "Of course. The best film represents an honor, which is more than six thousand in college. A professional judges affirmed the value of a film, this is definitely not money can be replaced, then, let ’s take a look at the outstanding nominated films this year. "
Eric finished, gestured towards the screen, and walked to the side.
The clips of the five nominated films "Pulp Fiction", 《Short Cuts》, "The Piano", "In the Name of the Father" and "The Remains of the Day" appeared on the screen one by one.
Eric looked at the fragments of these films. I'm not sure who will get the best film this year.
Compared to the relatively small judges, the best Director and the best Actor awards, the best films are selected by a total of more than 6,000 judges from all judges associations, which means the attribution of the best film The previous best Director and best male & female leads can be reflected to a certain extent. If a film receives more important awards, then this film can basically be said to lock the best film.
But this year is a complete Oscar year, and no film is a big winner. The best Director gave Robert Altman of 《Short Cuts》, the best actor gave Daniel Day-Lewis of "In the Name of the Father", the best Heroine belonged to Holly Hunt of "The Piano", the best Original Script was taken away by "Pulp Fiction", and the best male and female supporting roles were the same Among the different films, the top jury associations with the largest number of people have completely made very different choices. It seems that the result of the best film depends on the strength of private PR.
Although I do n’t know who the flowers are, Eric can be sure that after this year ’s Oscar, media comments are definitely more lively than ever.
Wait for the introduction of the five films to end, Eric walked to the microphone again, opened the envelope in his hand and glanced under the stage. His eyes quickly found the location of a crew, and then his eyes narrowed. Get up, because he saw two acquaintances around the crew, Elizabeth in white dress and a big Fatty with a surname Weinstein.
Because of Eric's short hesitation. Everyone in the Los Angeles music hall looked at Eric's gaze, and some people gave a soft voice of discussion.
Eric quickly took back his mind and said, "Then, the best film of Oscar in 1993 will belong." The Piano ", Jan Chapman."
With applause, a short-haired woman in her forties stood up from the crew of "The Piano", hugged each other one by one, and then came to the stage with excitement.
"Congratulations. Ms. Chapman," Eric Xiaojin people handed each other a hug politely, and then let it aside.
When Jan Chapman made the award speech, Eric standing next to him looked down at the stage again. In this era, the best film of Oscar has not yet flooded the stage as the whole team did. The members of the crew of "The Piano" remain Sit in place.
Noticing Eric ’s gaze, Harvey Weinstein nodded politely at him, Elizabeth raised his chin with a little pride, and unabashedly extended his finger and drew a ‘c’ in front of him. Then the five fingers clenched their fists and suddenly spread out, making a gesture of destruction.
Even if Elizabeth does not make these prompts, Eric can guess this Nizi ’s intention. Jane Campion's female identity is both an advantage and a disadvantage. If there is no Robert Altman that has accumulated several Oscar nominations and it seems natural, with Weinstein's public opinion manipulation and awards PR capabilities, coupled with News Corp's huge media support, Jane Campion may really become The first female Director to win the Oscar Best Director award.
But because of Robert Altman, Weinstein knew that there was little hope of getting the best Director, so he turned to the best film in public relations and successfully launched a female producer. This is obviously foreshadowing next year's "Braveheart".
As a result, if Kathryn is nominated for the best Director with "Saving Private Ryan" next year, if the school does not get this award, the college has enough reasons to distinguish it. Since they have awarded such an important award for the best film this year to a person female. The media will then have no reason to accuse them of sexism.
Since I have decided to support Elizabeth in my heart, I have also specifically promoted Fox ’s acquisition of Miramax. Of course, Eric will not be angry about the girl ’s carefulness. Anyway, no matter who will become the big winners in Braveheart and Saving Private Ryan next year, in Eric ’s opinion But it is the difference between left and right hand, otherwise Eric will not make the production of "Forrest Gump" one year behind. What's more, compared with "Saving Private Ryan", "Braveheart" obviously needs more awards to recover more profits.
Eric had planned to go back to rest immediately after attending the award ceremony, but thinking of "Forrest Gump", it happened that Tom Hanks also attended the award ceremony. Eric planned to talk about this with Hanks first, as everyone left the Los Angeles music center, I went to Hilton Hotel's "Vanity Fair" Oscar dinner. Although Eric has changed the history of Hollywood, Vanity Fair party still appeared on time, but Eric has not been able to participate in these years.
In the lively party hall, Eric and Hanks came to a quiet corner and briefly introduced the plot of "Forrest Gump" to Hanks.
Hanks listened attentively to Eric ’s analysis of the plot and nodded: "Eric, since it ’s the script you fancy, of course there is no problem. I will let my manager push away those invitations tomorrow. , This story sounds very interesting, maybe I should find the original one to read it. "
Eric shook his head quickly: "The original story is a somewhat absurd satire. I do n’t recommend you read it before seeing script. Because I plan to adapt it to an inspirational film that shows the history of United States50 to the 1970s Forrest Gump represents a simple and sincere attitude towards life. If you read the original book in advance, it may have a bad influence on entering the role. People ’s first impression bias is very serious. "
"Okay, when will the film start to be produced, please let me know," Hanks nodded with a smile, it was agreed, as for things like pay, of course, he does not need to negotiate with Eric himself, these things are now Usually it will be handed over to the producer and manager of Hanks to negotiate.
The two chatted a few sentences and then separated, and Eric greeted some acquaintances, and met some guests who came forward to meet up. When they saw the figures of Penélope and Kate, they planned to secretly take the two girls to leave early. party, but just about to walk towards the two women, Elizabeth led a group of people from the "The Piano" crew came over.
"Eric, this is Ms. Jane Campion, and Ms. Jan Chapman ..."
Eric smiled and shook hands with each other. Everyone knew the relationship between Elizabeth and Eric. After greeting each other and mixing their faces, they spread out.
After the crowd dispersed, Elizabeth asked, "Why don't you ignore me, don't you really get angry?"
Eric said with a smile: "Looking at you being surrounded by a group of people with infinite scenery, I'm afraid to get up and block your light."
Elizabeth snorted softly, but realized that Eric did n’t mean to be angry, she also calmed down and asked, "What are you talking about with Tom Hanks?"
"A movie, intending to let him take the lead role, say hello in advance," Eric also did not mean to postpone the production of "Forrest Gump" to ask the girl for credit, simply said, noticed that Penélope and Kate look For himself, he made a gesture to the two women, indicating that they were waiting for themselves outside.
Elizabeth followed Eric's eyes and just noticed the back of the two women leaving, teasing sourly: "Those two seem to be 《Charlie's Angels》's Heroine, why don't you put the three girls to bed together?"
Eric smiled and said: "It's too busy, so I only got two of them, and the remaining one took slowly."
"Come on chaos," Elizabeth kicked Eric lightly to show dissatisfaction, and remembered something, said: "You said to help Julia prepare for script, when will it come out?"
"At least wait until New York's things are over, let's talk about it," Eric put the stemware in his hand in the tray of the waiter, and leaned over and kissed on Elizabeth's face. Tao: "If there is nothing else, I will go first. I haven't slept well for a whole week."
Elizabeth shrank her neck. She really had one important thing to talk to Eric, but the two were so close, she also noticed the faint dark circles on Eric's face, thinking of this one Things were not in a hurry, so nodded and let Eric leave party. (To be continued.)
