[US Entertainment] From web dramas to Oscars

Chapter 68

Entering the venue, with Fopper's status, of course, there is no way to sit in the front.However, seeing that Fopper and his "Tuner" crew will definitely get at least one Oscar statuette, the staff still arranged Fopper and others in the front rows, and Chris and his white rubbish The person sitting behind the blanket is not the same.From the order of the seats, we can also see how popular the stars are.The one in the front row is undoubtedly Fopper's goal, a world-class actor, a popular A-list, a top director...

"I hope we will have smooth sailing this time." Ning Hao said next to him.

"Don't worry, we have done what we need to do. Now we can see whether it is a bumper harvest or a bumper harvest. For this Oscar, Fopper didn't say anything. After all, in his opinion, this is just a stepping stone for his success." It’s just the first one. But it’s different for Ning Hao.” As for Oscar’s status in world cinema, it can be said that no one needs to summarize and promote it.The annual Oscars is the grand ceremony of the global entertainment industry, and its influence is so great that even the Vietnamese are familiar with the name.

As the highest award in the American film industry, being favored by an Oscar is a great honor in the eyes of most filmmakers.However, like all awards, there is no absolute fairness to speak of, plus some unspoken rules, so there are also many filmmakers who are dismissive of the attitude of Oscar.Of course there is no shortage of sour grapes.But most of the people who rejected the Oscars in history questioned the entertainment industry.

For example, Dudley Nichols, he is the No.1 who refused the Oscar.In 1935, he won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for "The Whistleblower" that year, but just before the Oscars, the Hollywood Screenwriters Guild was on strike. As one of them, Nichols resolutely refused to accept the Oscar .Then in 1971, George C. Scott won the Oscar winner for his role as Patton in "General Patton".But he refused.And the most famous should be Malone. In 1973, Marlon Brando, who won Best Actor with "The Godfather", was absent from the awards ceremony, but sent an Indian girl to attend the meeting instead.At first, people thought he asked the little girl to accept the award for him.But in fact, he slapped Oscar hard in the face. "Marlon Brando regrets not being able to accept this very generous award." In one sentence, Oscar's face was swollen.

No way, if you don't get involved in this circle, you can't understand its details, insider information, and unspoken rules.Even though the academy has formulated seemingly strict and fair selection rules, in the eyes of film companies chasing fame and fortune, there is no impenetrable wall.They first competed to place advertisements on Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, two of Hollywood's trade publications.However, the effect of advertising is only to promote the film within the public range, telling all the audience who have watched the film: Our film is a good film, so it is a matter of course that we won the Oscar. Don’t think it is shady or something. .Afterwards, they began to tackle problems one by one from the members of the academy who held the votes.Like I said before, there is no doubt that a member of the academy that I have a vote for, morning and night, is living the life that people can only dream of.

And obviously, for a young man, even if he already knows all kinds of shady scenes in Hollywood, he has no fewer hands than Huaxia, and even because of the capitalist society, he is much more terrifying than Huaxia.But as a director, he still can't obliterate his pursuit of Oscar.If one disdains it, then there are only two kinds of people.One is famous enough to stand at the top without honor.Like Marlon Brando, and the other kind is really stupid.Ning Hao is neither, of course he wants an Oscar even more.

The wide auditorium was full of seats. Amid thunderous applause, a black host, Chris Rock, walked to the center of the stage.

The host of each awards ceremony is also a highlight.The college is used to inviting popular talk show hosts, such as Bob Hope, Billy Crystal, Jon Stewart and other big names.Or comedians like Steve Martin or Whoopi Goldberg and, of course, this year's presenter, Chris Rock.

A good presenter is full of character and good at gags.This adds a lot of color to the awards ceremony, and it also makes the boring award ceremony look less pessimistic.

The rules of the Oscar awards are generally to announce the awards for technical and short films, documentaries, and animations first, followed by awards for supporting actor, supporting actress, best foreign language film, best actor, lifetime achievement, queen, and screenplay. The finale is best director and Best Picture.Of course, there is no doubt that as long as you have nominations, when it is your turn to announce your nominations, you are the center of the world.No matter what kind of award you get.In every award presentation process, in addition to the host, there will also be an award presenter.This award presenter can be big or small, as big as the famous founder in the history of film.A man of the hour as small as a period of time.But it is undeniable that the award presenters are all well-known figures, at least most of the people who will know when watching live TV.

This year is no exception. Amid thunderous applause, the guest in charge of presenting awards, Leonardo DiCaprio, came out from the left side of the stage with a white envelope. A man who lived all over the world, although he seems to have gained a lot of weight now, still can't reduce his status in people's hearts. A movie can change a life, and it's Leonardo.He's already a regular at the Oscars.Of course, this point is very ironic. As an actor who very much hopes to win a statuette, he has to hand over this honorary trophy to others with a smile many times.

Standing on the stage, I saw Leonardo: "It's a great honor to present this award. The soul actors who are indispensable to a movie. Because of their outstanding acting skills, the story of the movie can be wonderful. However, there are many important things in the movie. The place is not as good as the editing of movies, if the narrative of the story is messy, then even if its pictures are classics, they are just a pile of classic pictures.”

"And the winning films of this year's Best Editing Award are..."The Aviator", "Borrowing a Knife", "Finding Neverland", "Million Dollar Baby" and "The Tuner". If there are too many, the five nominated films have appeared on the big screen one after another, making the audience familiar.

"Then the winner of this year's Oscar for Best Film Editing is... "The Tuner"! Congratulations to director Ning Hao of "The Tuner"!" Although Fopper was the one who actually edited.However, on the movie report and the movie title, the director Ning Hao's name was still written.So when the awards were presented, the award for this movie was still awarded to Ning Hao...

"Oh my God!" upon hearing that they had indeed won an award.And when he was still at the highest level of Oscar in the world, Ning Hao no longer cared about any elegant gestures.I jumped up happily!Yes, now he is just a young man born in the 80s.So it's very common to have such an excited look.

In the 45-second acceptance speech, I used a paragraph of English to express my feelings according to the script.It's not that Ning Hao doesn't want to use Chinese.But it's still the same sentence, he is too weak now and doesn't have that ability.So you can only obey the rules instead of challenging them.

Fopper and the others, who had already obtained an Oscar statuette, couldn't hold back the smiles on their faces.Why?Because the award for best short film is definitely theirs.There is no doubt about it.They have this confidence in "Tuner".

And the fact is the same, after going through several technical film awards, the familiar Scarlett Johansson stepped onto the stage, and then announced the best short film award for this session with a smile!

"Best Short Film goes to...Fopper, The Tuner!"

"Congratulations!" Before stepping onto the stage, she hugged Scarlett.Scarlett said to Fopper with a smile.

"Thank you." After hugging Scarlett back, Fopper was also very happy.In the end, the microphone saw all the top stars in the world staring at him, and said with a smile: "Actually, I really wish I could stand on it as an actor and not as a mediocre producer." Shrugged , Fopper made a joke: "But no one will dislike this trophy, right? Since it was given to me, I will put it away."

"As for the acceptance speech, I think the companions who came up before should have said everything that should be said. Here, I just want to say that I should come again next year. Thank you!"

No one was uncomfortable with Fopper seeming to be a little arrogant, at least in this case.Because it is him who is standing on the stage now, he has the qualifications.But when he doesn't win the award again next year, then there will be a lot of people who will make trouble.But Fopper is not worried about this, because next year is destined to be his explosive year.He doesn't know if the box office will explode or not.But on the award nominations.He has great self-confidence.

And after Fopper's "The Tuner" announced that the two Oscar nominations had all won awards, their work was all done.All that can be done now is to continue to watch who the final big winner of this year's Oscars is.
