Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 618
Taking over the coveted statuette from the award presenter, Laila only felt that the feeling in her heart was extremely strange.She believed that her expression must also be very strange, otherwise bursts of laughter and applause would not have come from below.

"What a surprise." Laila stood on the stage for a while before opening her mouth.She didn't know how long she had been stunned before she realized it. It seemed like a century and only a few seconds.It's really incredible that this incident was never in her expectation.

She has always been a rational person, and she will think through everything thoroughly.That's why she was so overwhelmed and her mind went blank when things deviated from her expectations.Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough to organize what she wanted to say in an instant.

"Well, I'm a director, and I got an Oscar for Best Editing."

When she made fun of herself, everyone in the audience burst into laughter.

"This is an unexpected achievement, and I'm a little overwhelmed with excitement." Laila looked at the statuette in her hand: "I believe that any filmmaker would dream of touching it, it is so wonderful, so touching .”

Many people agree with her words. Why are so many filmmakers rushing to the Oscars?Isn't it just to get that statuette?If I could get it myself, I am afraid that I will be bewitched by the beauty of the trophy, right?

Leila looked at the audience: "I always think that editing is a very important task, so important that I don't want to hand it over to others."

There was another chuckle from the audience.

Many people who know her know that each of her films is edited by herself.There have also been media reports about her various "non-business" jobs, including a film editor.

When everyone had had enough laughs, Laila chuckled too: "The same material, after being processed by an editor, can be edited into countless completely different stories. I think many directors have the same feeling. What comes out can still be understood that way.”

This remark once again made the directors "share the same hatred", because many of them are "victims".Without editing rights, they have no way to control how the movies they shoot will be edited.If you meet someone who can edit, you may be able to edit your film into a classic.If you meet an editor who doesn't understand you, your film may only be classified as a bad film.

So editing is really such an important job that the directors really want to get the right to dominate it.It's a pity that only top-notch directors in Hollywood have such rights. Others should just make movies honestly.

A large number of award winners gave peace speeches, and Leila followed suit. After finishing the clip, she said a few words about world peace, and then walked off the stage amidst applause.

"Congratulations, Laila." As soon as she came back, she was hugged by Roy.

"Thank you."

Although it wasn't a director's trophy, Laila still had a good laugh.She doesn't think that this trophy is inferior to the director's statuette. In fact, on the contrary, this trophy is more important than the director's trophy in her heart, because this trophy is obtained entirely by her own ability.

Directing "Chicago" should be more due to the benefits of her rebirth. Knowing the trajectory of this movie in the original world, she chose to shoot it.And the original version left her with a lot of things. When she was shooting, she couldn't help but compare the two sides.As a result, her work is not strictly her own.

But the editing is different. This is her own work, and has little to do with the original version. It is all the result of her editing through the materials she shot and her own understanding.So at least for this film, she thinks the best editing is worth more than the best director she wants.

And no matter what, it was the first Oscar she won in two lifetimes, even if she would get more in the future, she would cherish this one the most.

The crew congratulated Laila one after another. They didn't know about editing, and they couldn't understand whether she was the youngest one to win this award.But no matter how you think about it, she is very likely to break the age record. She is not yet 24 years old, and I am afraid that she may become the youngest one in any position.

As the awards were awarded to Best Supporting Actor, the atmosphere in the Kodak Theater suddenly became tense.

This time around, "Chicago" has a fierce battle for the last few awards."Chicago" is on the list of nominations for almost all awards.

"The winner of Best Supporting Actress is - Catherine Zeta-Jones!"

"It's me! God, it's me!" Zeta-Jones stood up excitedly and walked onto the stage amid the applause of the crew members and the audience.

"Thank you! Thank you "Chicago"! Thank you Director Moran, thank you everyone." She thanked everyone excitedly, and she could tell how excited she was at this time from the way her eyes were clouded with tears.

But this was just the beginning, and then the award of Best Actress also triggered a wave of enthusiasm.

"The winner of Best Actress is - Renee Zellweger!"

Renee stood up abruptly, covered her lips with her hands and looked at the stage in disbelief.

"Congratulations, you made it." Laila clapped her hands vigorously.

"Yes, I did it!" Renee hugged her excitedly before heading to the stage.

After receiving the statuette, her tears also fell: "It's so wonderful to get this award. I would like to thank Director Moran, she saw my potential and helped me discover it. When she said to me 'You're Oscar-nominated, but are you satisfied?' and I'm glad I said no. It turns out she was right, I can do better!"

Wow—the applause burst out loudly.It is not easy for everyone who can win the award. They have put in too much effort and deserve more applause and blessings.

Laila clapped her palms vigorously, lamenting the inconceivable fate while clapping.In her previous life, Renee did not get the trophy for Best Actress, but now she got the trophy that should have belonged to Nicole Kidman. Does this mean that she is actually good at teaching actors?
If so, does that also mean that the subsequent awards may also change?Like Roy for Best Actor?Or her best director?Or the prize that should have been won but not won?

Laila's heart tensed involuntarily.

The calmness and freedom in her heart of controlling the future have disappeared at this time, replaced by anxiety about the uncertain future and deep expectations.
