Coquettish Rebirth

There was thunderous applause.Whether it was sincerity or politeness, at least there was thunderous applause after Jia Hongjian finished speaking.

This is the first time that a Chinese film has won an award. Although the investment is only from the mainland, most of the actors and staff are from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but the Oscar Organizing Committee only accepts the investment decision.And in this film, there are no political factors involved, and everyone is quite friendly to Jia Hongjian.Jia Hongjian took the statuette and walked off the stage. After returning to his seat, the people around him immediately gathered around him.Although this is already the third statuette of the team, this is also the most important one in everyone's eyes!Although it has received ten nominations overall, although there are still nominations for best picture, can the best picture be won casually?It's pretty lucky to be nominated!But this best foreign language film is the real goal that everyone has been aiming at along the way, and now this goal has really been achieved, can everyone not be excited?This time, everyone came up to touch the statuettes one after another, and Li An even took the statuettes over and fumbled for it-he also had a lot of credit for the statuettes for the best foreign language film, and he also had military medals. Half of him!

Nolan was really jealous when he saw this statuette!If only one person in such a DreamWorks team got the statuette, then forget it.Nolan thought to himself that he was still a rookie, so he wouldn't have too many thoughts.But now it looked like he had won three statuettes, and the little ambition in his heart was aroused all of a sudden!He also wants to get the statuette, if he really gets it.How good is this?

Meanwhile, the awards for which they are nominated will be coming soon!After interspersed with an award for Best Supporting Actress, the next Best Editing Award will be nominated for "Memory Fragments"!The nominees for the Best Editing award are "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," "Drug Network," "Memento," "Gladiator" and "Wonder Boy."As for the award presenters this time, a different pair came up.As a result, after listening to the female award presenter read the nomination list again, the winner of the best editing that the male emcee finally read was not either of the two nominees from the DreamWorks camp!It was The Narcotics Network that took it!Seeing this scene, Jia Hongjian was not in a bad mood, but the group of people around him sighed a little.It seems that I have won too much before, which made everyone's psychological expectations higher. It seems that any award that DreamWorks is nominated for should have a high chance of getting a statuette back, not to mention that these two films were nominated together. What?

"It's all right!" Ye Jing applauded politely.On the one hand, the person who looked like a big sister and a proprietress spoke to comfort everyone.Although her voice is a bit loud.But in this environment where everyone is applauding, it doesn't seem too abrupt. "It's okay, we didn't get the Best Costume Award before. Lao Ye has also been nominated for the Best Costume Award, and we can't win every award. Is it? Otherwise, will others still be alive? We still have to leave a way for others to survive!"

The "lady boss" opened her mouth.It really boosted everyone's fighting spirit.All of a sudden, everyone's slightly low morale recovered again!Next up are the awards.It is the best sound effect award and the best sound award.Neither of the two films of DreamWorks were nominated for these two awards, so I was simply in a state of watching a movie.After the two awards, which both make people a little confused about the difference between sound and sound effects, it's time for cabaret.This time the performance was a choral performance.Although Jia Hongjian can understand the specific lyrics, but I don’t know if there are any jokes or something in it. Anyway, the Americans around me are smiling happily, but Dreamworks and the others have a group of British and Chinese. The combination did not laugh out much.

After the cultural performance ended, it was already in the early eight o'clock.The next few awards have nothing to do with DreamWorks, such as Best Animated Short Film, Best Documentary Short Film, Best Visual Effects, Best Supporting Actor and so on.After all these are over, the next four awards are all for DreamWorks!Best Original Score, Best Original Song, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Screenplay.

As for the best original soundtrack and best original song, these are both nominated awards for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the best adapted screenplay is the award for which "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Memory Fragments" are jointly nominated, As for the last best original screenplay, Nolan's younger brother Jonathan in "Memento" was nominated!

"The winner of the best original soundtrack is... Tan Dun, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!" As soon as he heard this, the DreamWorks camp burst into cheers!This old Tanna is really a top musician produced in mainland China. He is from Fulan Province. Later, he went to study abroad at public expense in the 80s, and finally became a musician familiar with Japanese musician Seiji Ozawa. Seiji Ozawa was invited to become the music director of Tanglewood Contemporary Music Festival in the United States!It's true that Lao Tan won the award, which proves that there are no good musicians in mainland China!And in this way, overall "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has won 4 statuettes!Although the next best original song award went to "Miracle Kid", it did not add another statuette to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".But at this moment, Nolan still had various expectations. He really wanted to get a statuette next time!Because to put it bluntly, everyone is a "project team" under Mr. Jia, and in the end, one project team lost four yuan in a row, but none of their project teams have yet!This is too much in comparison?

Although Ang Lee is much older than Nolan, the problem is that Ang Lee was just a well-known little director before, just like Nolan after the release of "Memory Fragments"!Then, Mr. Jia chose Nolan to make "Tang Monk", a big production movie with an investment of [-] million US dollars, instead of Ang Lee. This should prove that Nolan is better than Ang Lee in Mr. Jia's eyes?But now Li An's production crew has won four statuettes like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, while he has none!How can he balance this contrast?He even wondered if Jia Hongjian would have an idea?Will Jia Hongjian doubt his Nolan's level?Although he, Nolan, doesn't want to care about so much, but sometimes the form makes people have to compare, people have to care about!If he can win an award this time, it's okay, at least he didn't have his head shaved or swallowed several big duck eggs!

"The nominees for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 73rd Academy Awards are - "Drug Network", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Where Are You, Brother?", "Wonder Kid", "Memento"! "When the award presenter read the nomination list again, Nolan stared at the stage immediately.He just stared at the emcee's lips at this moment, as if he wanted to see who won the award from the movements of the emcee's lips!

"Best Adapted Screenplay went to - 'Drug Network'!"

Upon hearing this, Nolan's body suddenly became a little weak!He never thought it would be like this!How did that happen?How could "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" get four statuettes, while his film didn't even get the best adapted screenplay?Just when he was lost, the screenwriter of "Drug Network" came to the stage and began to thank him.Nolan was not in the mood to hear what he was thanking, anyway, when he came back to his senses, he heard sighs from around him!

"What's the matter?" Nolan hurriedly asked after realizing that his younger brother's mood was waning. "What's wrong? I just didn't win best original screenplay, bro." What?Brother didn't win an award either?In this way, "Memory Fragments" will be completely wiped out!No awards at all!Could this... be too weak?Will this disappoint Mr. Jia too much?Mr. Jia was already ready to help him talk about the Batman series before his "Tang Monk" had any results!They are even planning to recruit him into the gang. Nolan will definitely be kind to him?Is there definitely a Bole Xiangqianma who can catch up with him?In the end, Nolan repayed Mr. Jia in this way?

Thinking of this, Nolan turned his head to look at Jia Hongjian, and saw that Jia Hongjian was paying attention to the stage with Li An and others. He listened carefully, and it seemed that the stage was about to announce the candidate for the best director. Ang Lee happens to be the nominee!Shit, if Ang Lee won the best director, and later won the best picture or something, wouldn't it make Nolan more... so what?Even though everyone works for the same company, Nolan couldn't help but think so at this moment!

"The winner of the best director is - Soderbergh, "Drug Network"!" Hearing the voice from the stage, Nolan breathed a sigh of relief.But after he breathed a sigh of relief, he quickly realized that he couldn't be too obvious, after all, everyone is still a "team".He turned his head and looked around, as if everyone around was feeling sorry for him, no one noticed him, even Mr. Jia and Ye Jing were still comforting Li An.Seeing this, he still felt a little uncomfortable.Obviously he was favored by Mr. Jia, why didn't Mr. Jia come to comfort him when he didn't win the award?But I don't blame Mr. Jia, who made Li Ang win more awards... So Nolan wanted to have a good relationship with Li An for a while!This really wasn't decided by his nature, but he was stimulated by the surrounding environment to think so!

In the end, not only did the best director go to another family, but even the best film went to another family.The best actor is Russell Crowe in "Gladiator", the best actress is Julia Roberts "Never Compromise", and the best picture is naturally "Gladiator".

In this way, such a 2001 Academy Awards ceremony is over.In the end, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won four Oscars, while "Memento" didn't win at all.For Nolan, what follows could be a sleepless night.And for Jia Hongjian, the following night should be very happy... (To be continued...)
