Superstar

The first half of the Oscars ceremony came to an end, and the audience was filled with a kind of uneasy and irritable mood. Everyone could feel that something big had happened, but no one could say why, Wayne. Brother Stan can’t, Steven can’t, Hugo can’t.

When the second half kicked off, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was the first to present this year’s lifetime achievement award. When Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro presented the award to Ilya Kazan, more than half of the audience were present. Cheers, one third of the people clapped enthusiastically, and the chaotic scene pushed the restlessness of the award ceremony to its peak.

Although there is no direct connection between art and morality, Ilya’s behavior of selling friends for glory cannot define his contribution to the film industry; but Hugo still refuses to applaud him. The last time two people met at the Berlin Film Festival, Hugo just Did not get too close to the film master. The same is true tonight.

Tom Cruise, who was applauding, glanced at Hugo and seemed to be asking "Are you applauding or booing", but Hugo shrugged, showing a nonchalant expression. This made Tom smile and shook his head, but after applauding for a while, his hands were also put down, and he whispered to Hugo, "Agent's request." It seemed to explain his behavior just now.

After a brief riot, the Oscars ceremony entered the highlight stage, which is also the link that determines the final awards tonight: the award of the best adapted screenplay and the best original screenplay, followed by the announcement of the best director, and then the best actor. The suspense with the best actress is the best film in the end.

The first to appear on the stage was the Best Adapted Screenplay Award with a weaker suspense. Five works including "Thin Red Line", "Gods and Beasts", "Wind Money", "Strategic Master" and "Rising Wind" were shortlisted for the finals. Competition.

These five nominees are all works that performed well at the awards ceremony tonight. Except for the best adapted screenplay, they are at least shortlisted for another award. The average quality is still very outstanding. However, before the start of the awards ceremony, almost everyone believed that the "thin red line" would be the best, and there would be no competitors at all.

In fact, at the previous U.S. Screenwriters Guild Awards, "Shakespeare in Love" and "Strategic Master" won the Best Original Screenplay Award and the Best Adapted Screenplay Award respectively, which made the two works generally favored. "Shakespeare in Love" also won the Best Screenplay Award at the Golden Globe Awards. However, the "Strategic Master" was not even shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards, which is really intriguing.

After entering the Oscars, the "thin red line" suddenly emerged and became one of the main contenders for the best picture with an absolutely strong performance. Against this background, the other four works in the Best Adapted Screenplay department can hardly impact the "thin red line". It is estimated that the result should be no suspense.

Under the attention of everyone, Hugo and Curtis Hansen joined hands on the stage. They were the winners of last year's best original screenplay and best adapted screenplay respectively, so they were invited to be the awards of this year's screenwriting department. Guests.

"Not long ago I talked to a screenwriter friend about the importance of scripts. We are all lamenting that the status of screenwriters has been re-emphasized again. For two consecutive years, there have been many wonderful adapted scripts and even more outstanding originals. Script." Curtis took the initiative to open the subject and said with a smile, "So... what do you think?"

Hugo was originally listening with his hands behind his back, and then he was stunned, "Oh, are you asking for my opinion?" Curtis nodded, and Hugo showed a disappointed expression, "I still I thought you were going to say that I have contributed an important thrust that cannot be ignored in this process, and I am preparing to be humble."

Hugo's words made the audience burst into laughter collectively. It is worth mentioning that the number of viewers who have fallen below the 40 million threshold at this time is slowly picking up. After Hugo took the stage, the number of viewers quickly jumped to four. Thousands of millions, and it was still slowly rising, which made the program relay team excited.

"Of course, the work of a screenwriter is always an important part of the film production industry-no, Ernst, I can't say the word'most'. This betrays my work as an actor. Sorry, this is my limit. Suddenly, Hugo raised his hands and shook his head and said, making everyone stunned, but before everyone could reflect, Hugo continued to say, "It is precisely because of the countless fantastic ideas of the screenwriters. This prevents me from losing my job, so I think I should solemnly thank them for their hard work."

Only then did people react, and the applause and laughter of the audience joined together.

Hugo paused for a while, waited for the laughter to calm down, and turned to look at Curtis, "So, have you seen the works on the nomination list? How do you feel?"

"Oh, excellent, very excellent. But, I look forward to your work even more. I recently heard that you are writing a brand new script." Curtis's words only fell, and many people on the scene began to booze. It is no secret that Hugo is writing a new script, but the details of the script are not known yet.

Hugo raised his eyebrows and lightly nodded his chin, "If I were you, I wouldn't be looking forward to it. Because I'm not sure if I can stand here next year, so you'd better take advantage of it while still remembering. Hurry up and go to the cinema to watch it.” After speaking, Hugo pointed his fingers down and pointed to the place where his feet were standing.

At the beginning, everyone didn’t understand what it meant, but seeing Hugo’s vivid expression on his face, his eyes kept drifting towards the little golden figure in Curtis’s hands. In a blink of an eye, he understood: Hugo is suggesting that he hopes His script will also hopefully be nominated for nominations next year, and even win awards; at the same time, it is also ironic that if it were not for the Oscar awards, many filmmakers would never enter the cinema to watch.

Now, the scene completely became a sea of ​​laughter, and it couldn't stop at all.

After finally letting the noise calm down a little, Hugo coughed slightly, then lowered his head and said, "Curtis, I hope Ubi will not be angry because you robbed her of her hosting job." Curtis threw it on him, watching Curtis’s face full of mistakes. Before the audience could laugh, Hugo quickly said, “Let’s watch the list of nominations for the best adapted screenplay tonight. Please see the big picture. Screen."

As a result, everyone could only lock the laughter in their throats, holding back their laughter so hard that no one even noticed the movement of the big screen. Unknowingly, the viewership of the awards ceremony has returned to more than 45 million. The powerful pulling force of the "Hugo effect" gave the TV station a sigh of relief.

After watching the short films of the five nominated films, the next job returned to Hugo and Curtis. Hugo held the red envelope in his hand. He didn't deliberately lose his appetite. He opened the envelope, took out the card inside, took a peek, then raised his brows, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was really funny. One Oscar, the winner of the best adapted screenplay is..."

Then Hugo handed the envelope to Curtis, and Curtis leaned over and glanced at the envelope, then at Hugo, and then said into the microphone, "'Gods and Beasts', Bill Condon ( .)."

... Silence, or silence. Almost everyone did not expect such an ending. It was not a "thin red line" or even a "strategic master", but "the gods and the beasts". This result was not only shocking, but also directly equivalent to announcing the "fine". The “thin red line” was out of the battle for the best picture—because all the departments that held the winning ticket lost, the “thin red line” was almost hard to compete with competitors in the remaining awards.

First, "Beautiful Life" won the best foreign language film award and was eliminated from the final battle; then "Thin Red Line" was upset and defeated by "Gods and Beasts", and then was eliminated from the final battle. Such a pattern is really incomprehensible. Or to be more precise, the whole direction of Oscar tonight is incomprehensible.

At present, "Saving Private Ryan" and "Shakespeare's Love History" are leading the pack, and "Trumen's World" has only harvested a golden figure with the best soundtrack, which is not painful or itchy. Countless changes may occur in each of the next awards, which will have an unpredictable impact on the final Best Picture Award.

The award for the best original screenplay that follows is very important.

This is different from other previous awards ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The importance directly climbed several levels, even Harvey, who has been calm and calm, became nervous. The success or failure of "Shakespeare in Love" tonight is maintained in the two awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actress. They ran the entire awards season for this time-all the weight is concentrated in the hands of Hugo. In the red envelope, the air began to become taut, and the unspoken heat made the sound of sweat dripping so clear.

"Shakespeare in Love", "Saving Private Ryan", "Trumen's World", "Beautiful Life" and "Bragg Customer", five works will compete for the best original screenplay award, except for "Bragg Customer". In addition to the disadvantages, the competition for the other four works at the award ceremony is definitely the victory of Bo Bing. Unlike the shocking upset of the best adapted screenplay, in the original department, no one can pack a vote and say that they will win, and no one can confirm which one. The winning of the work is a dark horse.

Following the fierce competition for the best original screenplay department last year, this year once again presented an unprecedented prosperity of original screenplays. However, compared with last year’s hard power showdown, this year is more a showdown of momentum-the "Trumen's World", which has an absolute advantage in script strength, is not a favorite, but rather the "Shakespeare Love History" with a hot agenda that has the upper hand. "" and "Save Private Ryan" are leading the call, but at the same time, the unpredictable trend of the whole momentum has also made the competition for awards more intense.

The brave wins when meeting on a narrow road, but what about meeting the brave?
