Chapter 2150 Prize Draw!

If Yin Jun were to comment on Zhang Yaomou's weakest point, he would definitely say two words.

story.

What Zhang Yaomou is best at is the tone of the movie, which is definitely world-class.

Then he has his own uniqueness in setting up the atmosphere of the movie and expressing the description.

Only one can't.

That is the power of storytelling.

Especially the ability to tell stories in commercial films.

Zhang Yaomou's commercial films are basically not very good in terms of storylines, and the final success depends on other foils.

On the contrary, his films before turning to commercial, whether it is "Red Sorghum", "Ju Dou", or "Not One Less", all have excellent stories and have the power to move people's hearts just by the story.

That's why Zhang Yaomou can become a unique master.

Just like Brother Kai, one "Farewell My Concubine" is enough for him to eat for a lifetime.

Absolutely no exaggeration!

And what is Yin Jun best at?

Just so happens to be the story!

The main goal of Zhang Yanmou's study must still be Yu Rentai, Yu Yunkang and Chen Xunqi.

Or a movie made from Eun Joon's script.

Their movie, even if it is a sequel, still has a general context, which is definitely much stronger than Zhang Yaomou's ability to make up stories.

Yin Jun doesn't expect Zhang Yaomou to fully make up for this shortcoming, as long as he can improve twice as much as in his previous life, Zhang Yaomou's future will definitely have a bright future.

At this time, I didn't think too much time.

Because the Oscars are on.

This year's Oscars hosts are particularly strong.

"Wind x Doctor x Nurse" is the leading actor of the handsome guy Alan Elda, who holds the record for the number of viewers in the United States.

Jane Fonda is the daughter of the famous Oscar-winning actor Henry Fonda and herself a two-time Oscar queen.

Comedian Robin Williams is very popular these days.

They stood together, whether it was the jokes they said or the demeanor they showed, it was the best time Yin Jun had seen in the past four years.

Oscar is not a rigid award ceremony, it also incorporates many other content.

For example, performances, retrospectives, prospects, etc., all of which run through the awards, which are full and interesting.

In this way, people will not get bored with the four or five hour award ceremony.

For the sake of ratings, the Oscar Organizing Committee still has a set of methods.

"Forrest Gump" has 7 nominations, but it is not the most Oscar nominations this year.

The most nominated film is a magical film - "Out of Africa".

This feature film, directed by Sidney Pollack and starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, not only grossed more than 80 million US dollars at the box office after its release last year, but also received unanimous praise.

So Universal Pictures worked hard on public relations, and it got 9 nominations.

Except for the best actor category, Tom Hanks is too strong, and the best actress category "Forrest Gump" doesn't have it at all. For the rest of the awards, the two films are almost directly matched. .

After the red carpet just now, Aunt Mei came over specially to chat with Yin Jun, looking nervous and excited.

Because she has two leading actress nominations this time.

One is "Out of Africa", and the other is "Bridges of Madison County" released in April last year.

"The Bridge of Madison County" has also been nominated for five awards this year, both for best actor and actress, and for best original screenplay. Yin Jun is also nominated for the same award for two different films. custom.

Unlike her previous life, Aunt Mei won the Oscar for Best Actress a few years ago.

But who despises more awards for himself?

Besides, "Out of Africa" ​​and "Bridge of Madison County" are both excellent this time, and it is quite possible for her to win an Oscar queen again.

Yin Jun is also more optimistic about her.

Although she was nominated for Best Actress in two films in her previous life, neither of them brought her the crown of best actress.

But now it is 1986, when Aunt Mei is in her prime, and there is no too strong opponent. It is also the right time for her to win the award again.

Soon it was time for the best soundtrack.

"The winner is—"Out of Africa" ​​John Barry!" Jane Fonda announced in this way.

There was applause.

John Barry was naturally very happy to accept the award, but the crew was not so happy.

The best original screenplay, without a doubt, was awarded to Yin Jun.

Although this is an adaptation of a novel, the novel was written by Yin Jun, and the script he wrote himself is classified as original.

The award came as no surprise.

Yin Jun has won the best original screenplay for the third consecutive year. If the best adapted screenplay of the original "Shawshank Redemption" is added, he is the overlord for four consecutive years, which is very powerful.

But no one was surprised.

There are already no people who want to compare Yin Jun's script skills, and everyone has long been convinced.

When a person can write several classic scripts, people will definitely be envious and jealous, and then they will not be convinced and want to catch up.

But when others have written hundreds of scripts, books, etc. in one go in seven or eight years, what else do you have to be jealous of?

The third award related to the two crews is the best special effects design.

"Out of Africa" ​​has the special effects of the pastures and wild animals on the African continent, and "Forrest Gump" also has the special effects of the feather embedded in the black and white movie. The two should be the same.

But this award was awarded to the crew of "Out of Africa" ​​by Robin Williams.

Now they are a little restless.

Nima!

what does it mean?

The small prizes are all given to us, aren't they?

Then let's forget about the grand prize, what do you mean?

Immediately afterwards, the award for best film editing was also given by "Out of Africa".

At this time, except for Meryl Streep who could still smile faintly, the crew of "Out of Africa" ​​were already very serious.

Director Pollack scolded him countless times.

But he can't help it.

The camera will scan his face from time to time. If he puts on a bad face, people all over the world will know that he can't afford to lose.

In contrast, Yin Jun's expression is still very relaxed.

He didn't feel that his best director was secured just because "Out of Africa" ​​won several small awards.

In fact, what he can basically be sure of now is that Tom Hanks' best actor is stable, and there may be no problem with best film.

As for the best director, who said that if you win a small award, you can't give a big award?

Still, he sighed a little when the Best Cinematography award went to Murphy Romance's William Frank.

It seems that Hollywood's prejudice against Orientals has always been a bit deep.

Oh, by the way, there is actually a real Asian film participating in the Oscar selection this year.

It is Japan's "Ran".

The director is the famous Akira Kurosawa.

When Yin Jun entered the theater just now, they had already sat down, too far apart, and they didn't say hello.

"Ran" received a total of four nominations, Best Costume Design, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction and Best Director.

It can be said that this is really remarkable.

Akira Kurosawa is really amazing, and he is truly top-notch in Asia in terms of artistic level.

But so far, except for the best director, which has not yet been announced, all three of their nominations have been hung up.

In fact, Yin Jun remembered that "Lan" had won an award, but for some reason, it didn't get it today.

Their expressions also changed from nervous and excited at the beginning to very disappointed now.

If it wasn't for demeanor, many people in the crew would have burst into tears on the spot.

No wonder.

The movie "Ran" cost a total of 2.4 billion yen, which is by far the largest movie produced in Japan.

In order to gain something at the Oscars, the Japanese also worked hard.

They gathered the best directors and production teams from all over Japan, and it took almost a year to create this movie.

The result was as they wished, and "Chaos" entered the Oscar selection.

But unfortunately, it was close to annihilation.

None of them expected Kurosawa to beat Yin Jun for the best director.

This is simply impossible!

It's not that they think Akira Kurosawa is worse than Jun Yin, in fact they think Jun Jun and Akira Kurosawa are as good as Akira Kurosawa.

But Yin Jun has the most powerful film company in Hollywood, the most powerful TV media, has an incomparably powerful genius name, and is deeply loved by people all over the United States.

What about Akira Kurosawa?

At most, some people in the industry like him.

Half of the Oscar judges may have never heard of Kurosawa's name.

But Yin Jun's name, they can hear it every day.

Based on this alone, if they had to choose between these two, they would definitely choose Yin Jun instead of Akira Kurosawa.

So they've been completely disappointed.

The reason why I can still sit there is purely because of etiquette.

Otherwise, according to their Japanese habits, they either hug their heads and cry when they go out, or go straight to get drunk and get drunk.

Eun Joon is definitely not gloating about their falling behind in their hopes.

Regardless of the grievances between the two countries, the boy still respects Akira Kurosawa, a film master.

But Oscar is so unfair.

Now Japanese films can break into Hollywood and participate in the selection of Oscars, but Hua Guo's films need to go through another 20 years of training before they can be regarded as taking the first step.

Then there is no progress.

It can only rely on commercial box office results to get some attention from American movies.

But in terms of artistic achievements, to be honest, after 2010, it has gone backward for more than 30 years, which is completely disappointing.

I am afraid that we will have to wait until our directors get a lot of satisfaction from their commercial achievements, and then they will turn around and pay attention to their artistic achievements.

Isn't Feng Xiaogang like this!

It's enough to make commercial movies. Movies such as "Tang x Dadi x", "1942", and "Youth" will come out?
