Chapter 690 Winning the Award ([-] daily updates, please subscribe~)

Billy Crystal may not be famous in China, but he is very famous in North America.

Film, TV, host, producer, director can be said to be an all-rounder.

Before hosting the 63rd Academy Awards, Billy Crystal also hosted the 1987th Grammy Awards in 29. Since then, he has hosted the Grammy Awards for three consecutive times. The last Academy Awards was also hosted by Billy Chris. To host.

After Billy Crystal took the stage, he used his unique opening remarks to directly set off the atmosphere of the scene.

Wu Jianye sat down and applauded for him too.

In fact, award ceremonies all over the world are similar, with the host’s humorous opening remarks and gorgeous performances, the only difference is the difference in the people who attend the award ceremonies.

Wu Jianye, who has participated in countless awards ceremonies, has long since lost interest in these things, and he is also very disinterested in American-style humor.

However, there is still a bright spot in this year's Oscars, that is, Michael Jackson and Madonna, the two great singers and queens, were invited.

Michael Jackson was wearing a white suit, and Madonna was wearing a white tube top dress, and the two sat in the first row.

Although in the entertainment industry, the general value is that movie stars should be above singers, but there must be exceptions to everything, Michael Jackson and Madonna are such exceptions.

The popularity of the two around the world is too high, and they can no longer be simply classified as singers. They are now a cultural phenomenon.

The opening song and dance of this year's Oscars was performed by Michael Jackson!

ABC's TV cameras will often scan the two, which shows how popular they are.

Wu Jianye sat there, like an ordinary audience watching a performance. When everyone applauded, he applauded. When everyone cheered, he also cheered. Anyway, he was just like everyone else.

Just like other award ceremonies, the first award is never the most important award. Alec Baldwin, the hero of "Hunting Red October", and his girlfriend, who debuted at the age of 17, became the cover model of "Playboy". The two of Kim Basinger took to the stage to present the first Oscars of the year.

Best Original Score Award!

Speaking of the Oscars in this period, in Wu Jianye’s opinion, there is really no way to compare them with later generations. There is only a small table on the stage with a microphone on it, and two award presenters have to grab a microphone. .
Kevin Costner's film "Dances with Wolves" made a good start and won the first award at the 63rd Academy Awards.

Wu Jianye comforted Maurice Jarre, who was in the same crew, for this award, "The Love of Ghosts" was also shortlisted. Unfortunately, everything now is no different from Wu Jianye's memory. Maurice Jarre is still the same. Lost to John Barry!

The awards ceremony continued, the host and the guests took turns, and the Oscars were awarded one after another.

At the same time, in order to show the focus on the most important award, the best film, there will be guests on stage to introduce the five films that were shortlisted for the best film this time!

They are "Ghost Love", "Awakening", "The Godfather 3", "Goodfellas", and "Dances with Wolves"!
Jeff Bridges, the bald villain of "Iron Man 1," introduces "The Godfather 3," the first nominee for Best Picture this time around!
Wu Jianye sat in the audience, not paying attention to what Jeff Bridges was saying, but thinking about the long life of an American actor in the entertainment industry. Jeff Bridges is already in his early 40s at this time. He was 59 years old when he participated in "Iron Man", but the old and beautiful actor has a different feeling, the older he is, the more monster he gets!
Marvel movies have always liked this way. The leading actors use some unknown actors, while the supporting roles, especially the big villains, like to be famous and have acting skills. This should also be related to the production cost.

Just when Wu Jianye was thinking wildly, Whoopi Goldberg quietly left his seat next to her. This time Whoopi Goldberg was not only shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actress award, but also the award presenter for Best Sound Editing !

Presenting the award with her was Andy Garcia, who was later the big villain in "Ocean's Eleven".

The two appeared on the stage, one serious and one funny, and the contrast formed was so great that the audience laughed out loud.

The winner of the best sound effect is still from "Dances with Wolves". "The crew.

The smile on Kevin Costner's face can be clearly seen on the big screen. The first film he directed was a success, so he is naturally very happy!

After the awards for the best sound effects were presented, Whoopi Goldberg also returned to her seat, and Wu Jianye just greeted her briefly.

The next thing to be awarded is the first important award of this year's Oscars!

Award for Best Director!

Marshal Tom Cruise came on stage as the award presenter!

The crew of "Ghosts" and "Dances with Wolves" are not far away, and Wu Jianye can clearly see the nervous expression on Kevin Costner's face.

As the behind-the-scenes boss of Phantom, Wu Jianye naturally knew how much public relations costs Costner had paid for this award. After all, half of it was paid by Phantom Pictures.

In fact, it is not easy for Costner to win this award. Let's see who his opponents are!

Francis Coppola of "The Godfather 3", one of the most famous directors in Hollywood in the 70s, Martin Scorsese of "Goodfellas", the uncrowned king of Oscars.

The other two directors are also master-level figures, Stephen Friars of "Thousand Network Crisis", and Iranian director Babette Schroeder of "Reversal of Fortune".

Although the two didn't win many Oscars, they were also award-winning professionals at the European Film Festival!

So, Kevin Costner's nervousness is not unreasonable!
However, according to Wu Jianye's view, his real opponents are actually few. Although these few have achieved great success, they are all stingy on public relations fees. Kevin Costner spends money. Running water!
Sure enough, under the effect of money ability, Costner jumped up excitedly when he heard his name from Tom Cruise's mouth!

After hugging with the crew members, when Costner walked to the aisle, Wu Jianye also stood up and hugged Costner.

"Congratulations, you deserve it!" Wu Jianye smiled and patted Costner on the back, watching Costner walk onto the stage.

Isabel Adjani next to him looked at Costner who walked onto the stage with a smile and said to Wu Jianye in a low voice: "How about it, are you envious?"

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "What is there to envy, if I really want it, I won't be like you!"

After Isabel Adjani heard it, she also laughed.

Neither Wu Jianye nor Isabel Adjani did any public relations fees. Wu Jianye knew that it was impossible to award the best picture to himself according to the urgency of the Oscars, but Isabel Adjani didn't care about it.

Although the two of them are no longer that kind of relationship, they are still good friends, so there is nothing embarrassing about communicating.

When Costner came off the stage with the statuette, everyone gave their applause again.

Then came the presentation of the Science and Technology Awards and the performance of the children's choir. However, when the award presenters for the Best Actress came to the stage, many people still looked in the direction of Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani.

No way, the presenter of this award is Isabel Adjani's ex-boyfriend Daniel Lewis!
Everyone knows the grievances between Wu Jianye, Isabel Adjani, and Daniel Lewis, and it is exactly the same. Many people who have missed this award are thinking, if Isabel Adjani wins this award, It will be interesting to see the trophy being received in the hands of Daniel Lewis!
In fact, when Daniel Lewis was on stage, he saw Wu Jianye whispering to Isabel Adjani, but it has been more than a year since this incident, and the anger in his heart is not so great anymore.

But now Daniel Lewis is afraid to wrestle with Wu Jianye. The success of "Human Ghost Love Is Not Ended" may make him unable to feel any fear of Wu Jianye, but now everyone knows how powerful the Phantom is, especially It was the grievances with CAA some time ago. It took less than a week to make the once glorious and invincible CAA become a historical term.

The close cooperation between Wu Jianye and Phantom is a well-known thing in Hollywood. Even Daniel Lewis knows that if he offends Phantom, he may really be doomed!

So on the stage, it looks very well-behaved, but the winner is still not Isabel Adjani, but Kathy Bates from "Ten Days of Dangerous Love"!

In fact, these awards do not bring much benefit to some actors, but glory is something that not everyone can resist.

Although Kathy Bates won the award for Best Actress, due to her own image problems in the subsequent films, she did not become a big hit or an actress whose salary was greatly increased. Participate in the movie as a supporting role.

Kathy Bates also played with Sandra Bullock as a supporting role in "The Weakness"!
Wu Jianye's first and only nominated award is finally here, Best Original Screenplay!

The actors and actresses in "The Silence of the Lambs" released this year came to the stage to present the awards. Judy Fords and Anthony Hughes, who won the Best Actor Oscar for next year's Academy Award, just relied on more than 20 minutes of performance in the play. Pukins!
The two came to the stage to present the awards, which actually had the taste of promoting "The Silence of the Lambs". In fact, this is already an unspoken rule of the Oscars. Most of the award presenters actually have the task of promoting their own films.

"Anthony, I will think of you when I see you. Your performance in the movie before, I still shudder when I think of that scene!" Judy Fords said with a smile.

Anthony Hopkins made a weird sound in the movie, through the microphone, it really made people shudder!

The image of Hannibal is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
After the two finished promoting "The Silence of the Lambs", they entered the topic.

"Anthony, among the six screenwriters shortlisted this time, which one do you like the most?" Judy Fords asked with a smile.

This is actually an offending question, but the two must have checked the script backstage, so there is no suspicion that Jodie Fords deliberately dug holes for Anthony Hopkins.

It can only be said that both of them are more daring!

Anthony Hopkins said with a smile: "As for the six screenwriters, the one I admire the most is Director Wu Jianye. In all these years in Hollywood, this is the first time I have seen such a talented director and screenwriter. Let's see what he wrote. Those movie scripts, no matter which one, caused a huge sensation in North America!"

The camera also immediately cut to Wu Jianye, who was looking at the topic of the two on stage with a smile on his face.

"Wow, aren't you afraid of offending people when you say that?" Judy Fords said exaggeratedly.

Anthony Hopkins said with a smile: "How come, you haven't heard me praise the other screenwriters, in my opinion"

Then came the compliments to the other screenwriters.

As the speeches of the two ended, clips from five films began to be played on the big screen.

Isabelle Adjani asked in a low voice: "How are you, nervous?"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "There is an old saying in China, which is called what you get and what you lose. It doesn't matter whether you get this award or not. The box office of the movie has already explained a lot of problems!"

Isabel Adjani said dissatisfiedly: "I am the most dissatisfied with you. Obviously your talent can make better movies, but you have to consider so many commercial factors!"

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "Art can't fill my stomach!"

"You still won't be able to eat enough!" Isabel Adjani said dissatisfied.

At this time, there was sudden warm applause in the hall, and Wu Jianye also saw Bruce Robin who was sitting not far from him stand up excitedly!

You won an award yourself?
Wu Jianye was also slightly taken aback.

There are two screenwriters of "Ghost Love" in total. When applying for the Oscar, Wu Jianye asked Linda to add Bruce Robin's name, although he only provided a story, the real content of the screenwriter is Wu Jianye written.

But Wu Jianye knew that if he didn't have his own cut-hu, this honor would have been taken by Bruce Robin himself!

Wu Jianye then stood up with a smile.

But even so, in the eyes of everyone, Wu Jianye seemed to not pay much attention to this award.

But that's not important anymore. At this time, many people have stood up and hugged Wu Jianye. As for Bruce Robin, there are a lot less hugs.

Wu Jianye was sitting in the aisle, so after embracing everyone, he stood up, and after Bruce Robin walked out, the two walked to the stage hand in hand.

When he got to the first row, Michael Jackson stood up with an excited smile, grabbed Wu Jianye who was about to go on stage, hugged and congratulated him and said, "I knew you would definitely win the award!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said to Michael Jackson: "Thank you, let's talk again after the awards ceremony is over!"

The relationship between the two naturally doesn't need to be too polite.

At this time, Madonna next to Michael Jackson also stood up, hugged and congratulated Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye felt Madonna's turbulent waves and expressed his gratitude. The poor Bruce Robin could only stand there quietly and wait for Wu Jianye.

After thanking the two, Wu Jianye and Bruce Robin walked onto the stage together!
