Heads Up Hollywood

Penelope Cruz appeared on the Oscars red carpet, holding Twain's arm.

Although she was not nominated, she is the guest of honor at this year's Oscars, when she will present the best sound editing award.

Backstage, Tang En saw the old man with a white beard, George Lucas, and greeted him with a smile, "George, I can't wait!"

George Lucas turned his head to look at him coldly, "Then I told you to go over, aren't you still trying to shirk?"

Tang En was quite ashamed.

"Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith" is about to be released, this will be the last part of the "Star Wars Episode 3" trilogy, and it will also be George Lucas's personal closure!

For this movie, George Lucas exhausted his efforts. Many shots were shot in front of him, and he had to reshoot after a while.

After several years of tossing, it is finally finalized.

Last month, Lucasfilm held a viewing meeting internally, and invited many well-known filmmakers in the industry to attend and give some valuable suggestions for improvement.

Tang En was not present.

"Ahem, it's not like you don't know. During this time, I've been so busy that I've been going crazy." Tang En confessed embarrassingly, "But I have an intuition that this movie will definitely be a hit!"

George Lucas said angrily: "It stands to reason that with Natalie, an Oscar-winning actress, as the leading actress, there is no problem with big sales. But what have you done? Since she won the award for "Juno" two years ago After being an actress, she even went to Jerusalem to study. It’s fine to study, but she doesn’t make movies! It’s fine if she doesn’t make movies, but she keeps a low profile as if this person has disappeared.”

Tang En said with a guilty conscience: "She wants to study with peace of mind."

George Lucas said stiffly: "It's a good thing to study with peace of mind, but who will be responsible for the box office of "Star Wars"?"

Regardless of previous life or this life, Natalie is the biggest actor in "Star Wars: Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith". In many cases, she is responsible for the box office.

However, during the two years that Natalie was studying, she was too low-key, causing the entire United States to seem to have forgotten about this person. Without traffic and exposure, how can there be box office appeal?

George Lucas thought that with Natalie's Oscar-winning aura, he could really contribute to the box office of "Star Wars Episode 3".

As a result, I went to study in Jerusalem!

Dun En did a good job!

Tang En said in embarrassment: "George, you have to understand my difficulties. The whole world knows that she is Tang En's girlfriend, and her words and deeds often represent my decency."

George Lucas sighed, knowing that the face of the richest man in the world is very important, he shook his head and said, "If the box office of this movie can exceed 1 billion dollars... I can wake up laughing from my dreams!"

$1 billion at the box office?

Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith?

Disaster!

In a previous life, the film grossed $848 million.

In this life, Marvel's masterpiece "Iron Man" will be released at the same time.

For such a veteran director, $1 billion at the box office... is really out of reach.

Speaking of old-fashioned directors, just as the two walked into the corner of the backstage lounge, they just ran into another old-fashioned director-Francis Coppola.

"Twain, I think you can win this time!" Francis Coppola waved at him from a distance.

"Award? I really can't guess whether I will win an award." Tang En shook his head, looked at him deeply, and then glanced at George Lucas beside him, as if realizing something, "Seeing that you all showed up , but I can guess who the best director is."

George Lucas made a haha, "Go, go inside and talk."

The Oscars are held at the Kodak Theatre.

However, from the red carpet to the opening, there is still 1 hour.

Many small roles and actors can only wait obediently.

Seniors like George Lucas and Francis Coppola are eligible to enter the backstage lounge, and reappear when the ceremony begins. Although Tang En was young, he had enough qualifications.

Tang En ignored it, and said with a suppressed voice: "If I'm not mistaken, is Spielberg also one of you?"

George Lucas opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Someone told you?"

Tang En said with a smile: "This is already too obvious! The four major Hollywood directors of the 1980s, He Hemanman, gathered together, which is obviously a hype stunt."

Not surprisingly, Francis Coppola, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg will appear at the same time as the award presenters for the best director!

An award-winning director who can receive such great respect and grand treatment... To be honest, Twain doesn't even have the qualifications!

Only Martin Scorsese!

In the previous life in 2005, this year's Oscar for Best Director was given to Clint Eastwood, and the guest of honor... was just the actress Julia Roberts.

The current big scene has already explained the problem.

The awards ceremony hadn't even started yet, but Tang En's heart was already half-lost.

The best director award has arrived.

Martin Scorsese will win the Oscar for Best Director for the first time in his life!

However, this is a secret topic after all. Neither Francis Coppola nor George Lucas talked about it much.

In many cases, Oscar represents the dignity of Hollywood.

For the sake of this face, the filmmakers have to play it safe.

The backstage of the Oscars is like a museum, displaying many historical photos, most of them are actors, most of them are stills.

Among them, Tang En saw Miss Zhang at a glance.

This is her "Jade Jade Dragon" appearance in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which looks very fresh.

Francis Coppola saw Tang En's slightly hesitant action and said with a smile, "Chinese? Hehe, Sophia also told me that there are many movie geniuses in the Chinese-speaking circle."

Sofia Coppola?

Well, she must be talking about Wang Jiawei.

...

The Oscar ceremony has finally begun.

In order to increase the ratings, the organizing committee specially invited the black comedian Chris Rock.

Tang En has no interest in this guy's jokes.

Instead, he was secretly analyzing the Oscar's strategy this time, wondering how many awards "The Departed" would win.

The best director is gone.

The award presenters have been revealed.

Best Actor?

Tang En himself was nominated.

It's hard to say.

The nominee for Best Supporting Actor is Mark Wahlberg, and this kid's face doesn't look like the winner either. But Cate Blanchett's Best Supporting Actress was a hit.

Other miscellaneous awards are not worth paying attention to.

The awards ceremony quickly got to the point. First, Halle Berry presented the Best Art Direction Award, and "The Departed" got off to a good start!

Two designers, Danti Ferretti and Francesca Schiavo, took the stage to accept the award.

For the Oscars tonight, the melody of "The Departed" was flying for the first time!

In order to guarantee the ratings, the Oscars cannot always arrange miscellaneous awards.

The second award is a very important award - Best Supporting Actress!

Renee Zellweger appeared on the stage as the award presenter to present the awards, and Twain could even feel the sudden tension in the atmosphere of the crew of "The Departed".

Compared with the best art direction, the best supporting actress is the award that everyone values ​​more!

Can Cate Blanchett win the Oscar for the first time in her life?

She is another representative of Australian actresses after Nicole Kidman!

Until Renee Zellweger finally opened the envelope—

"The winner is..."

She paused for a moment, then revealed a formulaic bright smile, her eyes accurately found the crew of "The Departed Walker" again, and her voice was a little raised——

"Cate Blanchett, The Departed!"

boom!

The Kodak Theater ushered in the first climax of the night.
