The Best Director Award, Best Actor Award and Best Picture Award, these awards are undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention at every Oscar Awards ceremony. (1_1).
As one of the most important awards, the presenter of this Oscar¡¯s Best Director Award is definitely very important. He is Martin Scorsese, one of the most famous directors in Hollywood.
As an American realist director, Martin Scorsese is a prolific director, but his films are different from George Lucas's focus on business. The themes of his works are often about Italian-American identity and Catholicism. Sin and redemption in meaning, the problem of violence in American society, and more!
Until now, although he has not won the Oscar for Best Director, everyone understands that he is one of the most influential directors in post-war America.
At this moment, when Martin Scorsese, who was over 55 years old, walked slowly towards the host stage with steady steps, thousands of spectators at the scene, as well as many Martin fans in front of the TV, Everything was completely boiling.
As one of the most famous directors in the United States, he has shot countless movies over the past twenty years. He has accumulated many movie fans around the world, and even many professional media organizations are afraid that there is nothing they can do about it. Investigate detailed data.
In fact, Martin Scorsese already possesses fame, reputation, and popularity, and the only thing missing is an Oscar statuette that represents recognition.
"It turned out to be him!" Xia Shang saw the figure of Martin Scorsese. On the face. There was no surprise.
However, he admired the director in front of him very much. He was high-quality and productive. Perhaps what he lacked was a little luck. Xia Shang knew that he won the Oscar for Best Director a few years later for a movie called "The Departed" "Video.
"What's funny is that when he didn't win the Best Director Award, no matter the critics. The news media, or many actors, all gave him very high praise, even after the 1990s. Many of Martin Scorsese's films have failed.
And when he won the Best Director Award for "The Departed", even his award-winning works in recent years were not widely praised. Some fans even criticized him for making these films in order to please the Oscars. .
¡°I don¡¯t know if this is ironic or not.
But no matter what, this does not hinder his fame.
On the host stage, Martin Scorsese, who was the award guest, looked around and looked at the sacred auditorium that was almost boiling. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and couldn't help but feel a deep envy for the director who was about to win the Oscar tonight.
After being stunned for a long time, he slowly opened the envelope in his hand and announced the final result to the guests and audiences thousands of meters away from the stage, as well as to the nearly one billion movie fans around the world.
"The winner of the 70th Academy Award for Best Director is"Titanic"Xia Shang!"
""Titanic"!" "Xia Shang!"
As Martin Scorsese announced the final result of this award, the response was endless throughout the awards ceremony!
This is an expected shock!
If we talk about it at the 69th Oscar Awards Ceremony. Xia Shang won the first Best Director Award in his life for his film "The Sixth Sense", in exchange for countless controversial words!
So now, when his name is shouted out again. It feels more or less natural.
From beginning to end, "Titanic" is too strong. The strength almost makes such a grand prize undisputed.
This is the tenth award this film has won at this Oscars.
There is also a Best Picture Award that has not yet been announced. It may also create a miracle, and the number of awards will tie the record of "The Virtual Ben".
Everyone is looking forward to it, but at this moment, everyone is paying more attention to the award ceremony of the Best Director Award. (1_1)
??Young talented director, the best young director. . . He once again shocked everyone.
At this moment, countless movie fans cheered for it, shouting names like 'Xia', 'Shang', 'Xia', 'Shang', etc. Similarly, there were also many producers and directors who couldn't help but send , eyes of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Overall, it was a great moment, a shocking moment.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire sacred auditorium was completely boiling, just for this surprising young man.
The scene that is incompatible with the lively and noisy atmosphere is where the great Hollywood director James Cameron is. Now, this arrogant director no longer has the scolding Fang Qiu of the past. He looks at the scene with a somewhat gloomy look. Looking at the young figure in the crowd who was receiving congratulations, there was an indescribable look of disappointment on his face.
¡°Perhaps this little golden man should have belonged to me, but in fact, I made him slip away from me.
Do you hate the other person for taking over the host?
At this moment, his heart was filled with a touch of bitterness. Perhaps, what he did in the beginning was a little wrong!
But everything is irreversible, time flies, the passing time flows, how can it be turned back?
Withdrawing his gaze calmly, James Cameron did not continue to stay here, but chose to turn around and leave.
No one noticed his actions.
In addition, also disappointed with this result are the directors who were nominated for the Best Director Award, including Atom Egoyan, the director of "Don't Forget", and Ke Ke, the director of "L.A. Confidential" Thies Hansen, Peter Cattaneo, director of "Six Pigs". . .
But no matter what, this is a competitive game, and there is only one winner in the end. That is Xia Shang, the director of "Titanic"!
After he accepted everyone¡¯s congratulations. Then he walked towards the hosting stage. After all, there was the most important thing waiting for him there.
"I have to say that the film "Titanic" is really great. Every award he has won is undisputed, including the previous ones, including this one for Best Director Congratulations, Xia Shang Sir!" Martin Scorsese handed the Oscar statuette representing the Best Director Award to Xia Shang. Can't help but congratulate.
"Thank you, Mr. Martin!" Xia Shang didn't say much, but nodded with a smile and took the statuette. Immediately, he showed it to everyone.
At this moment, not only the main camera above the sacred auditorium pointed its lens at him, but at the same time, all the cameras and cameras carried by the reporters on the scene were also filming him crazily at this moment. Get up and want to remember this moment.
"It looks like you are the brightest star tonight!" At some point, Billy Crystal, the host of tonight's show, had already walked up to him and laughed with witty remarks.
"But Mr. Billy, I have heard this sentence of yours no less than ten times tonight. I think, maybe, we can regard this as an advertising slogan!" Xia Shang laughed. .
"But he is very practical! Isn't he?" Billy Crystal shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and then he smiled: "As we all know, it was here last year that you won the first Oscar for Best Director. Little Golden Man!¡±
"Yes. That time, I was very excited. At least more excited than this time!" Xia Shang's eyes couldn't help but feel trance-like.
"But at that time, not many people were willing to applaud you and said that you should not win the award. At least many people thought that films such as "The English Patient", "Frozen" and "Secrets and Lies" were better than "The English Patient". "The Sixth Sense" must be worthy of winning the Best Director Award Once again, standing here, what do you want to say the most" Billy Crystal asked with a smile.
After hearing Billy Crystal¡¯s words, Xia Shang couldn¡¯t help but be silent for a moment. . . The winner of each award has a few minutes to express his acceptance speech, and he is no exception.
At this moment, he does have thousands of words in his heart, and he wants to speak them to everyone at this moment, but time is limited after all.
After organizing his words, Xia Shang looked around the crowd and said slowly: "This is an intoxicating moment. No words can express it Just last year, for the first time, I won the title of Best Director." The identity is standing here, but at that time, it caused a lot of controversy. "The Sixth Sense" achieved enviable box office, but it was too commercial after all."
"At that time, I did not argue, but I was thinking in my heart that I will come back soon and tell everyone that I, Xia Shang, do not need a controversial statuette That's why "Titanic" was created. Number"!"
"I think every friend who has watched it knows very well what kind of movie this is. Maybe you can ridicule that it is not a qualified romance movie, or you can complain about the cruel ending. You It can also be said that its cost is too high and too high.?A waste, but you can never deny that it is a successful film, a film of the century. "
"Just like that line I am the king of the world! In fact, this is what I want to say I am the king of the world! Thank you to all the fans who support me, thank you to my family who has always supported me, and thank you to the Oscars for hosting Fang and the judges also thank every family and friend present!¡±
In just a few minutes, Xia Shang's sonorous and powerful voice echoed throughout the entire sacred auditorium. At this moment, he used his actions to tell the thousands of people at the scene and in front of the TV. With an audience of just one billion moviegoers, a Hollywood upstart is on the rise.
No one doubts that after tonight's performance, his fame will catch up to or even surpass Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, etc., these older generation of world-renowned directors.
The deafening applause sounded like an explosion at this moment.
The lights at the scene and the flash of the camera in the reporter¡¯s hand were all focused on him, flickering at this moment. . .
As he said, at this moment, he is the king of the world!
It¡¯s shocking!
"You are a hateful guy. You actually stole my limelight. This is absolutely unforgivable! If you still get the next big prize, you better not come up." Billy Crystal gave a speech at Xia Shang After finishing, he couldn't help but said bitterly.
In response to this, Xia Shang shrugged his shoulders indifferently and walked towards the stage with satisfaction. In fact, once again, even if "Titanic" or "As Perfect" won the Best Picture Award, he would not Went on stage again.
It¡¯s such an exciting moment. Once is enough, but too much is too much.
Just after the Best Director Award ceremony. The atmosphere at the entire scene was obviously a little colder, which was inevitable in the end.
Fortunately, the host Billy Crystal is a host who is very good at adjusting the atmosphere. He is full of witty words and humorous. In addition, there is indeed something interesting to watch next. Therefore, for a while, the atmosphere of the scene changed. . Led by Billy Crystal, once again, things picked up.
Best Picture Award, after seeing the list of nominations for this award, many people seem to have gone back to the past. The result this time is so similar to last year.
"Titanic", "As Good As It Gets". . . Two of the five nominated films were produced and distributed by Baofeng Pictures, and the same was true last year.
This kind of situation almost dominates the best picture continuously. It is also very rare in the history of Oscars. If this continues, what else will there be to watch at the Oscars awards ceremony? result. What else is suspenseful?
Everyone sighs for it!
But when the famous Hollywood producer Jack Brusheimer announced the final answer. Everyone could only watch as Kane Johnson, relying on his identity as the producer of the "Titanic" film, walked up to collect the last statuette.
This also means that the 70th Academy Awards ceremony is finally coming to an end. At the same time, it also means that "Titanic" has tied history this time.
Although it did not exceed the record of "The Ben" that won eleven Oscars decades ago, it finally tied the record and it also shocked everyone.
