2105 Chapter 2105 Different Endings
At this moment, more than 50 million viewers in the United States watched the historical moment when Hugo won the second Oscar winner, which became the highest point in history after last year's "Titanic"!
At the same time, more than 50 million viewers have watched Hugo's moving confession. Those eyes full of tears, those beating hearts, and those girls' hearts melting in sweetness, have become popular in North America. It spread densely like rain hitting the beach. It is unimaginable that a confession without "I love you" and a confession without a "protagonist" can easily touch thousands of hearts that yearn for love.
Hugo didn't know that his words were regarded as a "confession", he just expressed his feelings, and after seven long years came here, he finally stopped, and he and her were finally together. And the dream that the two of them set up from the beginning has finally come true now, and when his heart was surging, he expressed it without concealing it. But Hugo never expected to create such a disturbance.
Backstage, fellow actors swarmed up, and even Steven Spielberg, who had been staying in the background, ran up to join in the fun, laughing and teasing, "You also said that you can't talk sweetly, which obviously makes I'm kneeling on the keyboard when I go home." This sentence made Hugo completely confused, and could only stare at the happy faces around him.
Hugo tried to find Charlize among the crowd, but he couldn't find it for a long time. This made Hugo extremely confused: Shouldn't Charlize be in the background now?
Charlize was indeed backstage at this time, but she quietly hid in the bathroom, because her emotions were so turbulent that she almost couldn't help crying. Even when Hugo confessed to herself in the church, she didn't cry so hard, not because it was the first time Hugo showed his heart in public, but because it was her and Hugo's dream from the beginning.
In fact, long before she moved into Sunset Plaza, when the two of them first met, they mentioned the actor's life. At that time, she knew almost nothing about the profession of an actor, and she would not have chosen to become an actor if she hadn't been desperate. From the very beginning, she refused to be a vase, eager to become a truly outstanding actor. She learned acting from scratch, and Hugo was always by her side.
This is a dream that belongs to the two of them, and it is also a dream that brings them closer together and walks side by side, and it is also a dream that brings them together in the end. They are friends, but also lovers. From acquaintance, acquaintance to love, the persistence and persistence of dreams is always the most precious softness in the hearts of two people.
Today, her dream came true, and his dream came true again, and more importantly, the two of them realized their dreams on the same stage on the same night. The weight of seven years came suddenly, and countless ups and downs roared in her mind, making her completely powerless to fight, and could only collapse completely.
It was only at this moment that Charlize knew that she loved Hugo so deeply, it was like being poisoned, the poison that penetrated into the marrow of the bone, merged into the blood, and branded the soul. She doesn't want to quit either, she just wants to hold his hand and move forward until she grows old.
The surging love completely paralyzed the heart, and he couldn't even breathe. Therefore, Charlize could only hide in the bathroom in embarrassment, letting all her emotions be completely released.
Hugo looked around, but he still couldn't find Charlize. He wanted to break free and look for it, but Steven locked him in place, because the best picture award was about to be awarded, everyone They all stayed where they were and waited for the result to be announced—all the efforts tonight depended on this moment.
Hugo saw that the award presenter Harrison Ford had already stepped onto the stage, he had to let his mind temporarily settle down and focus on tonight's final battle.
At the end of the award ceremony, Oscar returned to the original track in another incredible way: "Saving Private Ryan" led the way with five statuettes, with heavyweights such as best director and best film editing. The awards made it the most popular; "Shakespeare in Love" followed closely with three trophies, but unfortunately, the heavyweight award was only the best supporting actress, and its advantage was greatly weakened; "The Truman Show" Coming from behind, it won three statuettes, including Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay, and became a contender for Best Picture that cannot be ignored.
Strictly speaking, the best picture contender is now between "The Truman Show" and "Saving Private Ryan". "The Thin Red Line" was completely left behind, "Life is Beautiful" won the best foreign language film award, and "Shakespeare in Love" plummeted after a strong start. It lost all important awards, and basically declared that it was no longer competitive.
In this way, the whole pattern has once again returned to the way it was before the awards season.
"Saving Private Ryan" is a majestic epic with magnificent scenes, profound connotations, exposing human nature, and being true and cruel. In addition to being small, it exposes the essence of social entertainment to death with sketch-style banter, and even criticizes the whole society. The black fairy tale, thought-provoking, profound aftertaste, and wonderful performance can be regarded as college textbook-level works.
These two works are undoubtedly the representatives of the highest level of the 1998 film, and the overall strength stands out. After the turmoil of the entire awards season, the final showdown returned to these two works. This is an unexpected but reasonable ending.
"Shakespeare in Love" relied on the academy's public relations during the awards season, leading almost half of the awards season, but failed at the last moment. The obvious gap between comprehensive strength and absolute strength made it difficult for this work to take a step closer. This also reflects the greatness and strength of the work of the Weinstein brothers - but in turn it also sounded the alarm for people. And the darkness is vividly displayed.
With much anticipation, Harrison announced tonight's final result, "The winner of the 71st Oscar for Best Picture is...'Saving Private Ryan'!"
The audience applauded thunderously! And Steven was the first to give Hugo a big hug, and said loudly in Hugo's ear, "Thank you!" Only the two of them knew what it meant, and the deep meaning was almost enough to shake him. The entire Hollywood pattern, and the first year of the awards season has officially come to an end.
Historically, the first year of the awards season ended with the victory of "Shakespeare in Love", which became a moment that people repeatedly criticized in the next two decades, and even became a shameful moment of Oscar. Especially in the next decade or so, "academic public relations" almost reduced the Oscars to a commercial performance, and people gradually lost confidence in the authority of the Oscars.
But today, the first year of the awards season gave a completely different but natural ending. "Saving Private Ryan" won the Best Picture Award, which convinced people. Perhaps this still cannot change the encroachment of commercial interests on Oscar, as if the coming of "Titanic" is irresistible, but at least, professionalism and authority still leave a clean place for Oscar, just like "LA Confidential" ” and “As Good as It Gets” still retains a place for art films and independent films.
Hugo looked at Steven, who was excited like a child, but he stood there but couldn't recover, because there were too many variables tonight, and he had almost changed beyond recognition—this was the same as the one in Hugo's memory. The 71st Oscar was almost completely different, which made Hugo start to question: Is all this just a dream? Because his little butterfly doesn't seem to have that much influence.
However, seeing Steven standing on the stage delivering his acceptance speech, people around him kept coming to celebrate him, and that sense of reality came over him. Only then did Hugo's chaotic brain realize: the butterfly effect has finally begun to show its power.
Perhaps, Hugo's understanding of the butterfly effect was always wrong in the past, thinking that it was simply "a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon can cause a tsunami", but it is obviously not the case. After the butterfly flaps its wings, the chain reaction is a very long process, just like dominoes, it takes time from the first piece to the collapse of the whole building. The resurgence of rock, the rise of cinema, the fulfillment of dreams...it's all here.
After Hugo, a little butterfly, came to this time and space, he influenced the course of history little by little. Maybe each time he just pushed the wheel of history by a millimeter. As a result, the belief in rock and roll began to take root again; thus, behind the rise of commercial films, people still realized the importance of the essence of films; therefore, in the first year of the awards season, "Saving Private Ryan" announced that "good works are the only criteria for judging Oscars." "In the face of absolute strength, any public relations and favors can only stand aside...
The Butterfly Effect, it was not until seven long years later that this really set off a tsunami.
And Hugo, the little butterfly, finally found his other half. Passing through the crowd, Hugo saw Charlize coming out of the bathroom. Her eyes were slightly red, but she seemed in good spirits. The eyes of the two met in the air across the huge crowd, as if the huge crowd in the middle The crowd didn't exist at all, it was just a blurred halo, the two people were so far away, yet so close to each other. The eye contact without warning made both of them stunned, and then, the smile on the corner of the mouth was gently outlined, faint, shallow, but so warm.
