Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There was still more than half an hour before the awards ceremony started. In the Kodak Theater, only a small number of guests were seated in the auditorium, but the stars were shining brightly backstage.

    Photography is prohibited here. Apart from the live broadcast, there are no media reporters. Celebrities are walking around and talking. Some go to the bathroom, some go to the auditorium, and some come from the back door of the theater without walking on the red carpet. The staff  Busy as hell.

    There are man-sized Oscar statues everywhere, and near the aisle, Spielberg and Coppola are chatting.

    These two great directors are also old friends. It should be said that Spielberg, Coppola, Lucas, Scorsese, Zemeckis, Palma, etc. who personally completely destroyed the old Hollywood and promoted the New Hollywood movement  These "Movie-Brats" are almost all good friends.

    The movie boys who were once young and invincible, who were despised and beaten by the old Hollywood old guys, are now old people too.

    Spielberg, who was once dubbed "the engineer who made entertainment films for ignorant teenagers" by old Hollywood and boycotted his Oscar nomination, will present the Best Picture award tonight.

    Times have long since changed. In the 21st century and the information age, "New Hollywood" seems to be replaced by another "New Hollywood".

    "Steven, they asked Sophia and I to award the Best Adapted Screenplay, and they asked you to award the Best Picture. What do you mean?"

    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since you made a film. Isn¡¯t it appropriate to read, write, and plan and produce every day?¡±

    The two old guys were joking and seemed to be making news about "two major directors fighting backstage at the Oscars". Most people passing by smiled and took one look at them and walked past.

    At this time, Gia, who was following Coppola, suddenly asked: "Steven, I want to ask you about Ye Wei, that boy."

    "You also know?" Sasha, who was next to Spielberg, laughed and said with great interest, "His short films are really great."

    "Yes, so I want to know, is he really that powerful?" Gia's eyes didn't know what to expect, the former?  Or the latter: ¡°Or is this just a commercial hype?¡±

    Spielberg smiled and replied: "That guy is really that good. I have seen the original copywriting materials of "Dance of Angels" that he did. It is thorough and professional, and 100% of the storyboards were all drawn by hand. You can think of it  How amazing.¡±

    "100% storyboard?" Gia was stunned, something seemed to fall to the ground with a bang, "What a madman"

    Even Coppola was slightly surprised. With such talent, as well as such seriousness and hard work, he was very interested, "Does that kid understand traditional Chinese culture?"

    ¡°He said he understood it very well, and he even gave my company a useful piece of advice on an animation project before.¡±

    Sasha didn¡¯t know about this, so she asked curiously: ¡°Dad, what¡¯s going on?¡± Spielberg simply explained it.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to talk to him instead.¡± Coppola said with a smile.

    Gia knew why her grandfather had this interest. After "The Rainmaker" in 1997, his grandfather had been semi-retired in the past few years. The project to remake "Metropolis" two years ago was stopped due to financial problems, but soon he read the novel  "Youth Without Youth" was planned to be adapted and filmed, and we have been making preliminary preparations for more than two years.

    The author of the novel is a theologian, and it is full of concepts from Eastern religions, especially Chinese Taoism and Buddhism. Compared with original sin in the West, the reincarnation in the East fascinates my grandfather more.

    In the past two years, this old man has said it countless times: "Life is like a dream, there is only Tao."

    But Gia feels that no matter how talented that kid is, it¡¯s impossible for him to discuss it with the old man, right?  She couldn't say a few words.

    "It's a good chat with him," Spielberg said. "Young people always have a lot of new ideas."

    Coppola nodded: "White wine becomes more fragrant as it ages; Movie Boy is like red wine, in a good year, it immediately becomes mellow and full-bodied."

    ¡­¡­

    On the other side of the stage, Hanks and Rita Wilson were chatting with the Collins family who happened to be walking towards them.

    Hanks quickly talked about Ye Wei, thinking that Phil Collins had let Ye Wei use his hits for free. The two of them must be familiar with each other. Wei and Lily are not an ordinary teenage love, so he said: "Wei  There are really very few young people like this.¡±

    "You have some talent." Phil Collins raised his face and squinted, not knowing what to say.

    "It's not just some talent." Hanks thought the other party was being polite and praised him repeatedly: "It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a movie genius. He is currently working on a remake of a movie, as you know, "Wedding Day is Coming"  ¡·, also did a good job, I watched the remakeThe script is very interesting and his talent is amazing.  "

    "Haha, really" Phil laughed, "You'd better not say these things to him. Young people can't praise too much."

    Lily next to her spoke happily, winking at Qiao Li, and the smile on her face seemed to say: "Look at this stubborn old guy, haha!"

    "Indeed, but I heard that the ratings of his short film yesterday were very good. You can tell him this." Hanks praised again, telling Lily the second part of the sentence.

    Lily smiled and said: "Mr. Hanks, when I heard Wei say that you were willing to invest in him, I was really shocked. It's incredible! Incredible things are created by incredible people." After that, she glanced at her father,  "Right dad?"

    "Hehehe, hehe" Being treated like this by his precious daughter, Phil was so depressed that he almost fell down and said, "Yes, that's right."

    ¡°On the sea, a pale moon rises, there will be a ship to take you home, and the dawn will come¡ª¡ª¡±

    In the hall of Bard's house, five people sang the theme song of "Lord of the Rings 3" happily, among which "The Lion King" sang the loudest. Until the award ceremony officially started, they watched the live TV broadcast from nightfall to 9 p.m.  At around 1 o'clock, there were bursts of laughter, comments, and shouting!

    The most enthusiastic one was when Tom Hanks came on stage and introduced a video clip paying tribute to the famous comedian Bob Hope.

    Once, Liv Taylor took the stage to introduce the performers who were nominated for the Original Song Award to perform on stage.

    ¡°The other time was when Phil Collins and Shi Ting jointly presented the Best Original Score Award. When the live camera panned to the guest seats, Lily entered the camera.

    The rest are award-winning moments from "Lord of the Rings 3", 11 times!  None of the 11 nominations were received!  As a fan of the "Lord of the Rings" series, what could be happier than this?

    Maybe it will be time for Peter Jackson to announce that he will make a prequel or sequel.

    Sean Penn and Charlize Theron won Best Actor and Best Actress respectively, while "The Lord of the Rings" won 11 statuettes including Best Picture and Best Director, tying the highest record in history and sweeping the  Gesture dominated the 76th Oscars.

    And Sofia Coppola, the only talented woman in history to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Director three times (the first American woman), finally went home with the honor of Best Original Screenplay.

    It is only the second time in history that three generations of her, her father Francis Coppola, and her grandfather Carmine Coppola have won Oscars.

    genius!

    There is also a little genius Cesar Custer-Hughes, who is only 13 years old, is the youngest nominee for the Oscar for Best Actress ("Whale Rider", first screen performance). Although she did not win, she gained  received numerous accolades!

    Oscar night has just begun, with various celebrations and parties being held, but for ordinary TV viewers like Ye Wei, it is already over.

    The next day, as expected, the entertainment pages of the newspaper media were all about Oscar news. Probably only if the recent "Super Bowl incident" happened again, would we see Justin Timberlake's confession.

    There are two types of pictures on the page, one is award-winning photos, and the other is red carpet show photos.

    Wearing an orange-red Greek-style one-shoulder dress, Jennifer Garner stole the show and was named the "Best Dressed" by many authoritative media, including Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, and Angelina Jolie.  The glory of others was covered up.

    In the fashion industry, her stylist Rachel Zoe also stole the show!  This most promising talented stylist is rising rapidly!

    In response, Ye Wei naturally sent a congratulatory text message, and Rachel Zoe replied to him: "Remember, fashion comes from wearing it, don't waste your money."

    It takes the right time to take advantage of the situation. It was not until several days after the Oscars ended that this movie event, which had an average of 43.56 million North American viewers watching the live broadcast of the awards ceremony, gradually cooled down and began to become a decimal in the print media.

    At the same time, "Dance of the Angels" became more and more famous. Not only did it have an average of 1.15 million viewers, Nickelodeon also received rave reviews. Children online and offline wrote letters praising this short film.  They said they were deeply moved and hoped to play it again; there were also many parents who thought it was extremely educational and gave it a thumbs up.

    In fact, the copyright of the short film does not belong to Nickelodeon. They cannot decide how many times it will be broadcast, but if you want to watch it, www.  viy.  It¡¯s available on com!  free!

    The number of visitors to the website has exceeded 200,000, and one feature is that the conversion rate of visitors to fans is very high!  If you look at the message board, you will see that there are more than 1,000 teenagers chanting VIY. Most of them are Asian, and there are also others.?All ethnic groups, mostly girls.

    The time has come to March 5th, it is time, whether it is Ye Wei or AnnaSophia Robb, who is also gaining popularity, it is time to debut.

    On this morning, in the movie section of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, the largest daily newspaper in the western United States, which publishes more than 100 pages every day and has a circulation of more than 1 million, a personal interview taking up more than half of the page appeared.  There is a handsome photo: an Asian boy holding a director¡¯s viewfinder!
