Chapter 1620 Movie Queen! Movie Queen! !
Saturday, March 31st.
The Music Center Theater in Los Angeles is packed with seats at the moment.
The 56th Academy Awards will reveal the mystery tonight.
Two accountants from PricewaterhouseCoopers, along with members of the Oscar organizing committee, entered the backstage with handcuffed confidentiality boxes.
Next, after the host's opening remarks and performance, the tense awards ceremony will begin.
Yin Jun had no interest in the host's humorous words or wonderful performances.
His eyes were staring into the air and he didn't speak.
Sitting on his right is Lin Qingxia, and on his left is Tom Hanks.
Sister Qingxia specially asked for two days of leave for the crew of "The King of Flowers 2" to attend the award ceremony.
She was competing for the Best Actress for the second time, and the voice was very high. "The Little God's Daughter" is also the favorite theme of the old men in Hollywood film schools.
The deaf-mute girl played by Lin Qingxia has been recognized by almost everyone. Regardless of the box office and touching level, she deserves the title of blockbuster of the year.
Sister Dongfang herself was very nervous, but Yin Jun next to her was even more nervous than she was, and he was obviously a little absent-minded when answering her words.
After all, Lin Qingxia is a woman. At this time, she restrained her expectations and nervous expectations. She put her scarf on the armrest of the sofa between the two of them, then reached over and put her hand on her man's. Palm.
Yin Jun's palms were covered with sweat.
This is how people are, the more you care about something or a person, the more it (he) (she) will torture you.
The more you don't care, then nothing will matter.
If "Shawshank Redemption" had been successful last time, Yin Jun would not have such expectations this time.
It's easy to say, but who makes movies who doesn't want to be favored by Oscars?
If it were really easy to ignore it, Xiao Lizi wouldn't have destroyed himself so horribly.
"The Shawshank Redemption" actually failed in the Best Director Award despite such strong advantages. This was a surprise to most people.
Stephen King, the author of the original novel, was very surprised and told reporters, "The story I wrote myself was adapted by Mr. Jun into a movie that is ten times more beautiful and has a deeper meaning than the story. This has already surprised me! But what’s even more surprising is that the film academy turned a blind eye to such an excellent work!! This is something that shouldn’t happen!!!”
However, no matter how many people complained about Yin Jun, Yin Jun never complained in public in this year.
Complaining will only bore these old men at Oscar and make them feel that Yin Jun is too young and vigorous to withstand setbacks.
This is indeed the case.
A good director should only speak for himself with his own works.
A director who quarrels with his mouth will never achieve anything.
Therefore, the young man only said that he would continue to work hard.
So then he brought "Rain Man".
"Rain Man", like "The Shawshank Redemption", received widespread praise.
"The Shawshank Redemption" tells the story of freedom and redemption.
"Rain Man" tells a story about the preciousness of family ties.
Both of them happen to be the most promulgated social spirit in the United States, which is why they have such a big advantage in the Oscar selection.
To be honest, it is really unimaginable that the entire "Shawshank Redemption" in the previous life was completely wiped out.
God knows what kind of conspiracy is going on underneath, preventing such an excellent movie from getting the respect it deserves.
Now "Rain Man" is an out-and-out hit, and it will definitely win awards.
It is exactly the same as "The Little God's Daughter" in terms of popularity, and is even slightly higher.
But this time, no one knows whether these old men at the film academy will respond to Yin Jun, who is competing for awards for the second time.
"Oh, before we start awarding the first award, let's see, Mr. Jun is a little nervous today! Don't be nervous, I think you have a great chance tonight!"
Even the host could see that Yin Jun was nervous. The people next to him looked back at Yin Jun, or looked at him from the screen, and laughed kindly.
No one dared to laugh at Yin Jun.
Because his other identity is the chairman of Kirin Group, the boss of the largest entertainment group in Hollywood.
Hollywood is very disgusted with this kind of behavior that disrespects capital and has no dignity.
You see those celebrities criticizing directors, producers, and even giant companies, but you never see them directly criticizing the CEOs of the seven giants.
That is definitely seeking death!
Even if someone is crazy and wants to do this, no media would dare to put these words in newspapers or TV.
When the first award presenter comes out, it means the official start of the Oscar Awards Ceremony.
The person who came was a famous musician.
The first award he announced was for Best Original Music.
Among the candidates are "Rain Man" and "The Little God's Daughter."
"The winner is... James Means from "The Little God's Daughter"!"
As expected, the first award was successfully won by Qilin Group.
"There seems to be a good omen today!" Lin Qingxia, while laughing, approached Yin Jun again and whispered to him.
"Um!"
The young man's expression also relaxed slightly.
In fact, the biggest winner of this year's Oscars should be "Mother and Daughter", a collaboration between Tang Shuxuan and Lin Qingxia last year.
It won a total of five awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
But last year, "Mother and Daughter" didn't win the Best Director and Best Actress awards because it had a Chinese female director and actress.
In addition, the film academy wanted to compensate "The Shawshank Redemption", so it gave the best picture to it instead of "Mother and Daughter".
Therefore, in this year, according to media analysis, the only remaining enemy between the two heroes "Rain Man" and "The Little God's Daughter" should be "The Makeup Artist" by British director Peter Yeats.
Yin Jun was somewhat disapproving of this.
Although Peter Yeats is the most admired British director by the old men at the film school, he has also watched "The Makeup Artist". The entire content is obscure and has mysterious meanings. It is not as good as "Mother and Daughter", let alone Let’s talk about this year’s “Rain Man” and “The Little God’s Daughter”.
Yin Jun's guess may not always be correct, but in the series of awards that followed, "Makeup Artist" did not win any of them.
The best original screenplay went to "Rain Man", the best costume design went to "The Little God's Daughter", and the best visual effects went to "Rain Man".
Yin Jun won the Best Original Screenplay Award just like last year, achieving consecutive wins.
However, this time when he went up, he did not say "I will be back" like last year. He simply said a few words and returned to his seat.
While everyone applauded, they also understood that Yin Jun was looking forward to the most important award to him.
Johnny Depp, who rushed back from the set of "Resident Evil", soon received his most anticipated award for Best Supporting Actor.
Also looking forward to this award is the crew of "Untouchable".
Zeng Chang, who plays the role of a disabled rich man, was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his excellent acting skills. He is also the first actor born and raised in Hong Kong to receive such high recognition.
Zeng Chang is not young anymore. If he can win the Best Supporting Actor, it will be a consolation for his half-life hard work.
Although his acting skills are very good and everyone's comments are praising him, Zeng Chang's shortcomings are also obvious.
That is, he is from Xiangjiang and has never appeared in a Hollywood movie before.
It's not impossible to win an Oscar like this.
Zeng Chang knew this very well, but it did not prevent him from looking nervously at the stage at this time.
Johnny Depp is also unlikely.
To be honest, although Johnny Depp's performance has improved to some extent compared to Tom Cruise in his previous life, the greatest performance in "Rain Man" is Tom Hanks, so this also greatly suppresses his efforts.
He asked Yin Jun before, and Yin Jun asked him to give it a try.
I was obviously looking forward to seeing Johnny Depp in a formal suit today.
"The winner is...Rip Torn of "Cross Creek"! Congratulations Rip!"
After hearing the award winner's announcement, Zeng Chang let out a long sigh, then a smile appeared on his face and he began to applaud.
Eddie Murphy, who had been a good friend with him for a long time, also came close to him and whispered something.
Johnny Depp, who had straightened his body just now, immediately showed a disappointed look on his face, and then covered his face with his hands.
Tom Hanks beside him quickly patted him on the shoulder and whispered something to him.
Yin Jun also bent over Tom Hanks and patted his leg, "Why are you sad? If you fail, just try again next time! Show your grace now, countless people are watching you!"
Young people always want to save face.
Hearing Yin Jun's words, Johnny Depp quickly wiped his eyes and moved his hands away. He grinned and clapped with red eyes, looking extremely awkward.
But neither Yin Jun nor Tom Hanks reminded him again, this is better than crying!
The next award for Best Supporting Actress was won by Lynda Hunter of "A Dangerous Year". "Rain Man" and "Daughter of a Little God" were not nominated in this project, so they were not nominated. Don't care.
But from now on, the four most important awards, Best Actor and Actor, Best Director and Best Picture, are the goals that Kirin Group must compete for.
Historically, films that have won such four awards at the same time are definitely rare, but now that Kirin Group has two films competing for it, the chances are much higher.
The first award was given to the Best Actress.
The screen showed the heads of the four actresses on the shortlist.
Last year's Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep stood on the awards podium.
Aunt Mei, who has not aged yet, was dressed very beautifully today. She wore a black dress that elegantly showed off her perfect figure.
After smiling and saying a few words to make everyone relax, Aunt Mei opened the envelope.
Then a smile appeared on her lips.
"At last year's awards ceremony, I once had a great competitor..." Aunt Mei opened her mouth and started like this.
Hearing this, Lin Qingxia's forehead shook open with a "bang", and everything went blank.
Warm applause also broke out at this time.
Basically, everyone who heard this, like Lin Qingxia, understood who the best actress was this year.
Apart from Lin Qingxia, who was equally popular last year, who else is nominated for Best Actress this year?
Seeing how excited everyone was, Aunt Mei also looked at Lin Qingxia, "Yes, the winner of the 56th Academy Awards for Best Actress is... "The Little God's Daughter" Bridget Lin. !Congratulations Bridget!!”
