Chapter 2176: Chapter 2176
Kevin Spacey looked at the card in his hand, and when he raised his head, the smile on the corner of his mouth became intriguing, as if he was wondering what kind of reaction this winner would bring. He paused for a moment, glanced at the audience, as if he was enjoying the happiness of being the only one who knew the answer, his smile became brighter, and then he said to the microphone:
"The winner of the 72nd Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay is..." Is it Michael Mann or Anthony Minghella? It should be that John Owen has a better chance. Everyone is guessing, and countless thoughts are surging, "Hugo Lancaster of 'A Beautiful Mind'."
"Oh, so it's Hugo..." Everyone's first reaction was the same, and they nodded, but then they realized what the name meant, and expressions that were too stunned to control appeared on the screen. The scene, so that there was such a momentary pause at the scene, almost everyone was asking in disbelief when they looked at each other, "You also voted for Hugo?"
Not to mention other people, even Hugo was stunned. His first reaction was that Kevin was joking with him, but then his eyes collided with Kevin in the air, and Kevin seemed to say , "It's you, it's you", Hugo's first reaction was to feel incredible.
At this moment, Charlize finally came to his senses, stood up and gave Hugo a big hug, "I told you, I told you!" The ecstatic mood was like the rising sun, gushing out and contagious When it came to Hugo, the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed like this.
Leonardo, who had just returned to his seat, was jumping up and down beside him, as if he had obtained this little golden man, using every muscle in his body to vent his emotions, even more fanatical than Hugo, the client. The crew of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" also swarmed up and congratulated Hugo one after another.
"Mr. Hugo Lancaster, please come to the stage to accept the award?" Kevin's teasing voice came from the microphone, which made everyone in the audience chuckle. What is going on, the applause rang intermittently and scattered, but it became one in a blink of an eye. When Hugo stood on the stage, the applause of the mountain and tsunami really reached its peak. can not stop.
Indeed, Hugo is now a "Hollywood cancer". In the past eight years, he has shown unique dominance and completely changed the development route of the entire film industry. He has led to the emergence of the 20 million club. He became the first work in film history with a box office of more than 500 million. He occupies the first place in the history of album sales in North America. He opened the era of blockbuster movies. He redefined "box office appeal". The following Oscar winner, he is also the first actor and screenwriter in the history of the film to win the existence of the golden man at the same time. He led the resurgence of the golden age of rock and roll, and he stood on the top of the world in Maracana...
Just the name of "Hugo Lancaster" has become an existence that everyone looks up to. Just as many professionals worry about, the existence of Hugo is a disaster for other colleagues, because it is unimaginably difficult for others to break through Hugo's blockade.
But the reason why Hugo became the unique top superstar in the history of film is definitely not because of his reputation, it is precisely because of his outstanding works, not only made a huge breakthrough in the box office, word of mouth and reviews, but also because of his social influence unattainable by others.
No one can ignore the excellence of "A Beautiful Mind". Even if people are tired of or even hate every wonderful performance of Hugo, there is still no way for people to deny this fact. Therefore, Hugo once again won the screenwriter Oscar - this time for the best adapted screenplay award, which further pushed Hugo's strong momentum to the peak, which made other screenwriters return home again, which is really impressive. Disappointed, but...but thinking about it, the judges who cast this vote are making history with their own hands. They are the witnesses and founders of Hugo's glorious dynasty.
At this moment, everyone's blood boiled with excitement, even though they were helpless, they were still convinced. Thunderous applause rose from the ground in an instant, reverberating continuously throughout the scene, shaking out endless echoes, so that Hugo, who was standing in front of the microphone, tried to speak three times, but failed.
Hugo was a little helpless, but also excitedly turned his head to look at Kevin who was standing beside him. Kevin also raised his hands high and applauded Hugo, which made the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth slightly Outlined, looking at the noisy crowd under the stage, happiness just like this slightly rippled.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you very much." Hugo thanked you three times in a row, and then the applause gradually calmed down. He let out a long breath, "It seems that I have nothing to say except thank you. Because even No matter how gorgeous words are, they can’t express my excitement and happiness at the moment, and of course I have to thank you.” Hugo looked at the crew of “A Beautiful Mind” sitting under the stage, “I should express my thanks one by one like the crew members, Of course, there are also people who are always by my side during the process of adapting this story."
Although this sentence was cryptic, there was a sense of ambiguity at the scene. There was an ambiguous shout, and everyone knew that Hugo was talking about Charlize. Hearing such booing, Charlize tried her best to remain calm and ignore it, but her cheeks still turned pink uncontrollably, and then Leonardo patted her arm and cast a look , as if to say, "Hey, Hugo is talking about you".
Charlize gritted her teeth, widened her eyes, and nodded her chin, as if to say, "Yes, it's me, are you jealous?" This made Leonardo touch his nose in embarrassment , with a frustrated look on his face, it made a few friends next to him chuckle when they saw this scene.
Hugo standing on the stage did not find such a small episode, he continued, "But I would like to thank another person here, my friend, Alan Strelo." Sitting on the TV at this time Alan in front of the plane suddenly froze, without warning, "I know, this name is very unfamiliar to many people, but without him, there would be no script of 'A Beautiful Mind'. I remember it was an afternoon, and Alan Len came to me with the materials he had prepared, and hoped that I could adapt John Nash's story into a movie, not because of how ups and downs John's story was, but because he knew the pain and struggle of suffering from mental illness, and Knowing the wrong view of this vulnerable group in this society, he hoped that I could adapt a story so that we can truly feel the story behind the miracles created by John Nash. So, there is a 'Beautiful Mind'."
Hugo’s words made everyone on the scene quiet down. Everyone looked at Hugo intently and listened carefully, “I hope to express my point of view through this story. Listening, love, and trust are important to us. It's important to say that it's even more important for people who suffer from mental illness for different reasons. They're no different than us."
"So, I have to express my gratitude again, thank you Allen for giving me the opportunity to tell this story, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to stand here and tell my thoughts. Thank you!" Hugo nodded slightly, and then backed away When he was about to leave, the whole scene was silent, and no one could react at all, as if all the audience in front of the TV were completely lost in thought, and no one made any reaction, but suddenly, Hugo paused and walked back. He stepped into the microphone and said with a smile, "Also, Mr. Ernst Lehmann, congratulations on your award."
This time Hugo really left.
All the audience in the audience were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, and then the applause broke out again, resounding through the sky. However, the influence of what Hugo said just now has just begun to spread, and it is affecting the historical process of society bit by bit at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Allen still sat there, quietly, until the cigarette burned his fingers, and the scalding temperature made him quickly throw the cigarette into the ashtray, looking at the burnt blush on his fingertips, but he was not in a hurry Instead of rushing to flush, he sat quietly on the chair again, as if the whole world had quieted down.
With the announcement of the best adapted screenplay award, the biggest suspense of the Oscars tonight has basically been announced. "A Beautiful Mind" has included the three statuettes of best supporting actor, best photography, and best adapted screenplay. Among the four contenders, only "The Sixth Sense" won a Best Supporting Actress award. It can be said that "A Beautiful Mind" won a huge victory tonight as the number one seed. If nothing else, there is no suspense about the trend of the final awards.
When Hugo walked to the side stage, he saw Steven Spielberg coming towards him—he was about to present the best director award on the stage. Steven gave Hugo a big hug and showed a bright smile , "I heard that you are planning to start writing scripts again recently, so, this time, do you want the director to consider me?"
This made Hugo laugh happily, "I will seriously consider it!" Then Steven went on stage to present the awards, and then Hugo saw Charlize who had just come backstage, which surprised Hugo , "How did you come here?"
Before Charlize could answer, the staff next to him stopped Hugo who was about to leave the side stage, "Hugo, after the best director award is over, it will be the best actress. You are the award presenter, and you have prepared all the speeches." ?"
Hugo's footsteps stopped immediately, and then he looked up and saw Charlize's expression of struggling with a suppressed smile.
