Chapter 2099: 2099 The Horn of Reversal

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and when the brave meet, the wise win!

The whole air froze, as if there was no one in Dorothy Chandler's hall, only statues, and even the sound of the wind blowing completely disappeared. The extremely tense atmosphere stopped the flow of blood, and he could only stare at Hugo and Curtis on the stage tightly, unable to move at all.

The biggest winner of the best original screenplay award is undoubtedly "Shakespeare in Love". The awards are considered to be the most popular.

This point was also proved after the opening of the awards ceremony. All five categories were shortlisted in the opening ceremony, and three of them won three statuettes. However, the process of the awards ceremony has changed. First, "Saving Private Ryan" completed a counterattack in four important technical departments, including the two heavyweight statuettes of Best Film Editing and Best Photography, which brought the overall momentum back. Balance of power; followed by "Shakespeare in Love" accidentally missed the best soundtrack award, and "The Truman Show" and "Life is Beautiful" won, and then the best adapted screenplay award broke another huge upset...

This made the trend of the entire awards ceremony reveal a kind of weirdness, but no one could tell why.

So, what about Best Original Screenplay? It was won by "Shakespeare in Love" and led again with "Saving Private Ryan"; or "Saving Private Ryan" won and continued to maintain its advantage over other competitors; or "Life is Beautiful" won and won the first place tonight The three statuettes have returned to the ranks of the best picture competition-creating incredible history; or is it... "The Truman Show"?

Curtis opened the envelope, pulled out the card inside, and his expression was also elusive. It seemed to be happy, surprised, unexpected, and puzzled. There was too much information for people to grasp at all. He stood there I was stunned for a while, as if waiting for my brain to come back to my senses, and then said into the microphone, "The winner of the best original screenplay at the 71st Oscar is..."

Then, Curtis put the envelope in front of Hugo, indicating that Hugo would announce the final winner.

Bob under the stage coughed twice and adjusted his position. His calmness had almost disappeared with his constantly shaking thighs. Cold sweat slowly rolled down his back, and there was a burst of itching, but he Not daring to touch it, I could only hold my breath and stare at the stage. Seeing Curtis show the envelope to Hugo, Bob's swear words came to his lips - "Grass! Just announce the answer directly, what the hell is creating suspense", but he swallowed it abruptly.

The concentration was so complete that Bob forgot about Gwyneth.

Hugo pursed his lips slightly, his eyes hidden behind the lights couldn't see clearly at all, and then he watched Hugo leaned forward slightly, and said to the microphone... the voice seemed to come from the other side of the valley , played at a speed that has been slowed down by more than ten times, it is empty and distant, blurred and thin, making Bob have to lean forward, as if this is the only way to hear clearly.

"'The...World of Truman...'...Andrew...Nicole..."

Then Bob saw the whole world as if replayed in slow motion, everyone moved frame by frame, stood up from their positions, so slowly that it almost seemed that time stood still. Bob only felt his knees go limp, and he almost fell to the ground, but this action brought everything in the space back to normal, and the applause of "哗啦啦" swarmed in an instant, and the thunderous sound made everyone The whole hall began to shake.

Bob raised his head to look at the big screen, and then saw the familiar Hugo's face - it was the movie poster of "The Truman Show", a close-up of Hugo's sleeping state. So... Best Original Screenplay goes to "The Truman Show"?

Bob looked towards the stage, and Hugo greeted him with a very bright smile on his face, and gave Andrew Nicole, the screenwriter of "The Truman Show", a big hug, and whispered something in his ear, which made Andrew A shy and reserved smile appeared on his face.

Turning around to look, all the crew of "The Truman Show" were jumping, cheering, and celebrating. Bob knew, sure, the final winner was not Shakespeare in Love. Bob's first reaction was to look at Harvey. At this time, Harvey was also standing in front of the chair, with a stiff smile on his face, and he kept agitating his hands, but his eyes were full of bewilderment, apparently he didn't know what happened. What, I don't know why this happened, let alone where the award ceremony will go next.

The fact that "Shakespeare in Love" has been an award season hit is a joke, at least in the eyes of Ernst Lechmann and Frank Pearson.

As a fictional love movie, "Shakespeare in Love" is objectively of good quality, but under the ostentatious costumes, the wrapped love story lacks the part that can really touch people's hearts. Even the love story of the hero and heroine There is also a lack of spark, which makes the birth of "Romeo and Juliet" feel weak. In short, this is a good movie, but if you really discuss artistry and creativity, there is no point in discussing it.

On the contrary, among the many works of last year, the artistic value of the script "The Truman Show" far exceeds other works, even "Life is Beautiful" and "Saving Private Ryan" cannot be compared. Of course, the latter two works reveal the human nature under the war from different perspectives, and this is a historical lesson that must be kept in mind at all times; but "Truman's World" pushes the peaceful life outlined by conservatives to the top. The gallows, more deeply, exposes all the lies, blood, and darkness hidden under the "beautiful life" shaped by the government.

The cruelty of the Vietnam War had a profound impact on American society. The media has always avoided talking about it; Race appears. big. At the time of the massacre, the government refused to lend a helping hand because of the "Black Hawk incident" in Somalia...

In times of peace, other corners of the world are being shrouded in poverty, war, and disease. And all these news were beautified or even hidden by the government. In fact, the American people surrounded by the government's lies are not the residents of the small town of Paradise Island in "Truman's World"? However, no one dared to expose the government's lies, and no one dared to take a step out of this ivory tower.

"The Truman Show" has reached a sufficient height in terms of story completion, character creation, and theme mining, and even surpassed the "As Good as Perfect" created by Hugo last year and "L.A. City" in which Hugo participated in the performance. Confidential," truly one of the best screenplays of the past decade.

In fact, because the script was so good, Ernst, Frank and others didn't have much impression of Andrew Nicole. After careful investigation, it was found that Andrew had only written one "Variant Evil (Gattaca)" It's just a script from the movie - starring Ethan **** and Cate Blanchett.

However, Andrew also admitted in an interview that Hugo and Peter can be regarded as the co-authors of the script. The two made many useful comments on the script and made revisions. The final version of the script has been revised twenty-three times before and after. Andrew originally hoped that Hugo and Peter could be included in the list when signing up, but it was a pity that they were firmly rejected by the two. This led to the fact that Andrew was the only name in the screenwriter column of "The Truman Show".

All in all, other awards aside, in the best original screenplay department, "The Truman Show" is a big hit, always a big hit, and in the eyes of many screenwriters the only big hit. However, the Writers Guild of America awarded the award to "Shakespeare in Love", which is simply a big joke.

After the results of the award came out, Ernst was furious in the union, and even pointed at Frank's nose and cursed in front of everyone. That scene left an indelible impression on the minds of countless top executives of the screenwriters union.

Now, "The Truman Show" has been recognized by the Oscar statuette. This is the way things are back on track. This is the reason for the existence of an awards ceremony like Oscar, and this is the root of Oscar's authority.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins——When the brave meet, the wise win! "The Truman Show" is the real wise man.

Standing on the stage, Andrew was overwhelmed with excitement, and could barely utter a word. It could be seen that he hadn't expected such a result at all, "Uh... I think... I should thank Hugo and The two of Peter, in fact, they should stand here with me and accept this trophy, because without them, this script would definitely not be what it is now." Andrew's voice was constantly trembling, clearly showing the excitement in his heart .

Everyone under the stage applauded Hugo and Peter, while Hugo standing aside raised his hands and applauded Andrew. The idea of ​​"The Truman Show" came from Andrew and was written by Andrew, which is Andrew's credit - like "Shawshank Redemption", Hugo never considered himself one of the screenwriters .

The sky has changed, the sky has changed completely, the Best Adapted Screenplay department has an upset, and the Best Original Screenplay department has an accident! The entire development track has completely deviated from the original expectations of the Weinstein brothers. Now the unknown has gradually become bigger and bigger, and is getting out of control step by step.

"The Truman Show" won the best soundtrack award and the best original screenplay award consecutively, and finally sounded the reversal horn!
