Chapter 228 The Starry Oscars (Part 2)
At the star-studded Sacred Auditorium in Los Angeles, at this moment, the live cameras of the entire Oscar Awards party were directly preparing for Xia Shang and James Cameron, who had just walked off the red carpet. It must be said that these reporters were a group of fearful people. The guy who keeps the world in peace.
Everyone present didn't know that Xia Shang and James Cameron were at odds with each other. When they were on the red carpet, there was already a smell of gunpowder between the two people who appeared before and after them. Now there are still people asking such pointed questions. Question, does everyone really want to see the two of them fighting?
Chinese Kung Fu vs American Boxing. . . At the same time, countless viewers in front of the TV were watching this strange scene expectantly, wondering how Xia Shang would answer the reporter's questions.
Xia Shang naturally saw the expressions on the faces of everyone around him. To be honest, he didn't like the many entertainment reporters who did anything to get first-hand news. Of course, now was not the time to be impulsive.
Although Xia Shang was angry, he still kept a smiling expression on his face, narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to look at James Cameron who was not far away from him, thought for a while, and said: "To be honest, James - Mr. Cameron is a very good director. It is really a pity not to be able to work with him, but that is the fact. He already has a new work goal, and Baofeng Film Company filmed " Titanic, it just happened to happen.¡±
Xia Shang also didn¡¯t have a good impression of James Cameron, but at this time, he still praised him against his will. . . After all, he was really afraid of this guy. He might not be embarrassed if he suddenly got angry, but he was afraid. However, it was obvious that Xia Shang's ambiguous answer, coupled with the fact that he had done a very good job on the surface, In this way, the storm was quickly resolved.
After walking through the red carpet, Xia Shang and Cate Blanchett walked into the interior of the sacred auditorium. After that, the two did not encounter any difficulties from reporters.
"Okay, Kate, next, I think the two of us should separate" Looking around, the entire sacred auditorium has been decorated with a festive atmosphere. The entire auditorium is full of familiar faces that Xia Shang may or may not know. Faces is an annual feast for the film and television industry. Many famous Hollywood actors, directors, producers, etc. have come to this awards show.
It is often at this time that people realize that there are so many celebrities in Hollywood.
"Can I be with you?" After Cate Blanchett heard this, the smile on her face suddenly dropped. She looked around, frowned, and couldn't help but ask Xia Shang.
"If you can't find a partner, I'll be happy to." Xia Shang smiled and shrugged. After seeing the expression on the other person's face, he guessed something about Cate Blanchett's situation.
It would indeed be a bit embarrassing for a new actor who had just entered Hollywood to attend the Oscar awards party alone, so Xia Shang did not hesitate to respond to her request, and besides, he was not alone.
When Xia Shang took Cate Blanchett to the place where he was, he saw that the sacred auditorium near the center left was already filled with several familiar faces, Sophie Marceau, Moni Bellucci, Jessica Alba, Kane Johnson and others are among them.
Except for a few people, they are the crew of "The English Patient", director Anthony Minghella, another producer Saul Zaenz, the main actors Ralph Fiennes, Kristen Sco Thomas, Juliette Binoche and others, editor Walter Murch, scorer Gabriel Yarde, cinematographer John Hill and others, in addition to the crew of "The English Patient", "Supernatural" The crew of "The Sixth Sense" were also sitting next to each other, Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment. . . Do it for everyone.
"Your luck is always so good." After seeing Xia Shang coming with Cate Blanchett, Sophie Marceau looked at him and couldn't help but give Xia Shang a sour look. Obviously, after seeing Cate Blanchett, she already knew that this noble beauty was his red carpet partner!
In this regard, she couldn't help but feel envious in her heart.
"Haha!" Hearing this, Xia Shang smiled and did not explain much. After inviting Cate Blanchett to sit down, he introduced each other.
Because the watch suddenly stopped working, Xia Shang almost missed the time to appear. Fortunately, he came at the right time, thus avoiding the phenomenon of being late. When Xia Shang and Cate Blanchett found their seats,?, not long after chatting with people around, the 69th Oscar Awards Party finally arrived.
As the host of tonight's awards ceremony is Billy Crystal. Billy Crystal was born in New York, USA in 1947. He graduated from the Film Department of New York University and is an outstanding actor who has participated in " "Double Stars Catching the Moon", "The Princess Bride", "Push Mommy on the Train", "Father and Son War", "Hamlet" and many other outstanding works. In addition, he is also a very outstanding program host. Young Influenced by this performing arts atmosphere, he shuttled between coffee shops and campuses to perform talk shows. Later, he became famous with TV talk shows and comedy programs "Soap" and "Saturday Night Live".
The 65th Academy Awards ceremony held at the Los Angeles Music Center in 1996 was hosted by Billy Crystal. Billy, with his humorous and interesting style, is no stranger to Oscars.
"Hello, gentlemen and ladies, I am today's host Billy Crystal" As soon as Billy Crystal appeared, the atmosphere in the entire sacred auditorium suddenly became solemn and filled with anticipation. The long-awaited awards show has finally begun. Even before the grand prize has been announced, it is already destined that some will be happy and some will be sad.
And for those who have been nominated for Oscars, like Xia Shang, Xiang Anthony Minghella, etc., at this moment, there are a lot of expectations in my heart. The Oscar statuette is so close to me, who will it win? This is a topic of particular concern.
For tonight's awards show, the most dazzling film is undoubtedly "The English Patient", which won a total of ten awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor and Actor. The two nominations can be said to be equally popular at the moment. No matter what the final result is, it is no surprise that it will be the most shining star tonight.
In addition to "The English Patient", the film "Mrs. Peron" has also attracted widespread attention. It can be said that the film based on Evita, the legendary Argentine woman, did not go smoothly at the beginning. In order to get the role, pop queen Madonna Ciccone wrote a four-page handwritten letter to the director, studied vocals for three months, and spent four months recording in the studio. The film was shot on location in Argentina. , this pop queen once encountered an upsurge of protests, but in the end she worked several times harder than others and finally got something in return. Even the president of Argentina was moved by her sincerity and agreed to lend out the balcony of the presidential palace. On the day of the shooting, When she appeared on the balcony and sang "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina," the 4,000 extras and camera crew were deeply moved. . . In "Mrs. Peron", you can see this truly touching scene.
Tonight, the biggest highlight is undoubtedly the two categories of Best Picture and Best Director, with a total of five nominations. Surprisingly, both "The English Patient" and "The Sixth Sense" are both owned by Storm Films. , what¡¯s even more interesting is that without Xia Shang, there would be no ¡°The English Patient¡±. The director of this film, Anthony Minghella, was also nominated for Best Director. As a result, the two are about to stage a battle between dragons and tigers. ?
Of course, in addition to these two items, the two films will also compete for awards such as Best Supporting Actress and Best Editing!
"Tonight may be a good night." After seeing the Oscar awards party officially begin, Xia Shang finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a hopeful smile in his eyes, and glanced at the people around him.
"Of course, it was also an exciting night, destined to be a sleepless night." Next to her, Cate Blanchett seemed to feel Xia Shang's gaze and turned to smile at him.
"Dear, you and Anthony have both been nominated for Best Director. I wonder which one of you will win the Best Director?" At this moment, Sophie Marceau suddenly turned around and glanced at Xia Shang with interest. .
"Uh you shouldn't ask me this question." Xia Shang shook his head speechlessly. To be honest, he was really confused about this year's Oscar for Best Director. Admittedly, " The film "The Sixth Sense" is a very outstanding work, and he is confident that it will not lose to any film, but "The English Patient" is famous for its majestic momentum, grand scenes, engaging plot, and wonderful performances. , is also a classic work, and in terms of qualifications, he and Anthony Minghella are evenly matched.
"It's just that he can't guess who the best director award will go to.
"Don't you want to take a moment?" Sophie Marceau seemed to be unwilling to give up and asked again, with a charming smile on her face.
"I was thinking last year, but is this useful?" Xia Shang shook his head helplessly, wondering why this little girl suddenly started to argue with himself on this issue.?Tangled up. . . But then again, can the Oscar for Best Director be won by just one person? At the 68th Academy Awards night at the Los Angeles Music Center last year, I was nominated for this award, but in the end I was disappointed.
Hollywood directors such as Steven Spielberg, Francis Coppola, Woody Allen, etc. are often nominated for Best Director. How many chances do they have to actually win this award? indivual? Thinking about it this way, Xia Shang felt that being nominated for an Oscar for Best Director was nothing. . . For a time, his nervousness eased a lot.
"Maybe this year's Oscar Best Director will be you!" After seeing Xia Shang suddenly showing a lack of interest, Sophie Marceau felt bored for a while. Soon, she fell in love with Xia Shang. One glance.
"Indeed, everything is possible!" Regarding what Sophie Marceau said, Xia Shang nodded unequivocally. With one grand prize and five nominations, each person may win 25 times. Naturally, all of them The nominated directors all have the possibility of winning the Oscar, but what will be the result? We won¡¯t know until the Oscar judges are announced.
While Xia Shang and Sophie Marceau were chatting, the first Oscar award was finally announced. As the most grand banquet in the film and television industry, the order of the Oscar awards ceremony is not static. This time, the first Oscar award was awarded. The winner is the Best Cinematography Award. A total of five films were nominated, including "Mrs. Peron", "Fargo", "Come High", "A Better Tomorrow" and "The English Patient". It can be said that it was expected , again out of the blue, photographer John Hill made a good start for "The English Patient" with his outstanding efforts.
Although Xia Shang was joking with Sophie Marceau just now and didn't pay much attention to other situations, when the award guest shouted the words "The English Patient", Xia Shang still felt John Hill. The photographer of the film suddenly became extremely excited.
"Congratulations to you, John, for taking home the first statuette tonight." As the producer of this film, Xia Shang also stood up after learning that John Hill won the Best Cinematography Award. Come, congratulate him and give him a warm hug.
It has to be said that John Hill's Best Cinematography Award is indeed a good start. The award awarded together with the Best Cinematography Award is the Best Art Direction Award, after "The Birdcage" and "The English Patient" , "Mrs. Peron", "Hamlet", and "Romeo and Juliet", after five films, it was finally acquired by Stewart Clegg, the artistic director of "The English Patient".
At the beginning of the awards night, "The English Patient" suddenly won two Oscar statuettes for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction. Many people present couldn't help but secretly praise: It seems that it can be nominated for 12 awards. , and it¡¯s not in vain.
The next awards are for Best Animated Short Film, Best Animated Feature, Best Live-action Short Film, Best Documentary Short Film, and Best Documentary Feature. These awards, which are not considered popular, also attract a lot of attention. Many people are concerned, especially the directors and actors who are participating in the competition for these awards, and their hearts are full of expectations.
After these awards, the Best Supporting Actor Award was awarded immediately. The so-called better than the best, the Best Supporting Actor and the Best Supporting Actress were two awards. Compared with the Best Director and Best Supporting Actor, For the male and female protagonists, the gold content is naturally not as high, but compared to awards such as Best Cinematography and Best Editing, they attract more attention.
Of course, these are not the reasons why Xia Shang pays special attention to this award. The reason why Xia Shang pays attention to it is because Haley Joel Osment, an actor who is only 9 years old, has won many awards with "The Sixth Sense" With his outstanding performance, he was successfully nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar this year, and he is definitely worthy of being called a child prodigy.
However, Xia Shang clearly felt that when the presenter for the Best Supporting Actor award, Kevin Spacey, the winner of the last Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, read out the list of five nominations, Haley- Joe Osment seemed extremely excited. He clenched his fists tightly and stared at Kevin Spacey on the host stage with his big eyes.
Regarding Haley Joel Osment's performance, Xia Shang couldn't help but smile. Although he was the director of this film, he did not go over to comfort him at this time, because at this time, too many words seemed to It¡¯s superfluous, but Xia Shang doesn¡¯t have much hope for Haley for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor this time. It is true that Haley Joe Osment is a very outstanding child star, no matter in the previous small Forrest Gump, and the image of the little boy Cole played this time, both give people a very profound impression.This scene has made countless movie fans remember the figure of this **-year-old boy.
But then again, Haley Joe Osment is too young. Although he is very outstanding, generally speaking, Oscar judges will not award such an award to a child. Of course, if Haley -If Joe Osment's acting skills are very superb, then this is another matter.
Soon, the award for Best Supporting Actor was announced. The result was not what Xia Shang expected. Although Haley Joel Osment's performance in "The Sixth Sense" was excellent, this Oscar won him a small gold. In the end, he was captured by Cuba Godin Jr., the supporting actor in "Mr. Sugar".
Regarding this result, the happiest actor is naturally the winner. As for the four actors who won the Best Supporting Actor together with Haley Joel Osment, they had no choice but to accept the fact of failure.
In the following period, the film "The English Patient" won several awards for Best Costume Design, Best Sound Effects, Best Film Editing, and Best Drama Score. It can be said that it has unlimited glory.
The best foreign language film trophies were won by "Kolia" from the Czech Republic, the best sound effects for "Night of the Night", the best visual effects for "Independence", the best comedy original score for "Emma", and As for the best original song award, it was not surprising that it was won by "Argentina, Don't Cry for Me" from "Mrs. Peron". The pop queen Madonna took to the stage and sang the theme song of this film, "Argentina," When "Don't Cry for Me", the atmosphere in the entire scene was completely boiling. . .
(Ugh! By the way, brothers, do you want the Best Director Award)
