Chapter 274 Unexpected

"Shakespeare in Love, Judi Dench" When the winner's name was read out, the scene burst into warm applause, and the crew of "Shakespeare in Love" was even more jubilant.色@色*文￥学%网m Judy Dench stood up reservedly, but the excitement in his eyes was still very obvious. As an old actor, he was nominated for Oscar several times, so he finally got his wish, even though If you lose your temper, no one will say anything.

In the soundtrack of "Shakespeare in Love", the crew congratulated her in turn, including Adrian and Gwyneth. Soon, she came to the stage. As a result, the statuette stabilized her mood, and then began her speech.

Adrian glanced at "Good Will Hunting" at this time. When the winner was announced earlier, when the big screen above was completely occupied by the image of Judi Dench, a hint of disappointment flashed across Natalie's face. Although her look was fleeting, Adrian, who was paying attention to her, could still see it clearly.

As if aware of his sight, Natalie not far away turned her head to see who it was, and then smiled and gave Adrian a look of no worries, but no matter how she looked, she seemed relieved Yes, what's going on?

Before he could think about the problem, Gwyneth's voice rang in his ears: "What are you looking at?"

Although it was very low, the taste in his tone was more obvious. Adrian only smiled and turned around: "I didn't see anything."

"Really?" Gwyneth looked suspiciously at the place where he had looked before, but saw nothing.

"Okay, Judy is coming down, let's continue to express our congratulations." Adrian laughed and changed the subject, took the lead in clapping after Dench's speech, and waited for the old actor to come down, then got up again to express congratulate.

Afterwards, he didn't sit down, but went straight out. Gwyneth immediately realized something, but she could only look at Blanchett, who was as stable as a rock, and continued to sit in her seat angrily. position. About half an hour later, Adrian came back, although he looked almost the same as he left, and he could guess what he was going to do from the corner of his mouth slightly raised. Gwyneth bet that if she got closer, she would definitely be able to smell it Another woman's perfume.

He was like this last year, and it's still like this this year. It's damnable. Gwyneth thought bitterly that that woman must have made him feel good, otherwise he wouldn't have looked around so much with a very concerned look just now.

I have to say that she was thinking wrong, but this is exactly the illusion that Adrian wanted her to have, but some of Gwyneth's thoughts are also correct. He did have a good time in the bathroom just now, but didn't he Last year's goblin—Kirsten wasn't at this year's Oscars—was Zeta-Jones. This woman is still focused on striving for more benefits, so naturally she will not refuse Adrian's request.

The award ceremony is still going on. After several technical awards passed, the original script immediately fell into the hands of "Good Will Hunting". There is no doubt that this kind of mainstream inspirational film has always been the favorite of the Oscars. For the best movie, it is inevitable to score two or three important awards, but Jacques's best actor is probably about to miss.

As the awards were presented one by one, the award ceremony soon ushered in the final climax amidst singing and dancing and the gags of Goldberg who was constantly changing out of costumes.

"Oh, it's finally the moment—" Goldberg on the stage said with emotion, just when everyone thought she would complain about her failure to win the best female lead, she suddenly changed the subject and called back Waving, "Now it's your turn, Jack, of course, don't take the ax."

There was a burst of laughter, and Nicholson, who was dressed in a suit, came out from behind, then shook the envelope in his hand, and said slowly: "You are going to be disappointed, Ubi, only the envelope, no ax .”

There was another burst of laughter, and Goldberg shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, I get it, you should start, don't make everyone wait too long, or you won't be the one holding the axe."

Nicholson immediately raised his hands amid laughter: "Let's get to the point. What we are going to present now is one of the most important awards. Who will get it? This is the question."

As he spoke, he showed his trademark smirk, a little sinister, a little cunning, and at the same time a little funny, which made many people laugh.

"Okay, let's take a look at the nominees first." Nicholson waved his hand, and the big screen next to him began to show the appearance of the nominees, Streep, Gwyneth, Blanchett, etc. Appeared, and at the same time they played a part in the movie. The scene immediately became quiet, and Adrian could almost tell which one was breathing more heavily, Gwyneth in the front or Blanchett in the back.

"Any one of them is an excellent actor, but it's a pity that only one can be honored here..." Nicholson sighed again, but everyone's attention was obviously not on this, so he quickly stopped Stopped talking, opened the envelope in his hand, "Then let me see, who will be the best female lead today."

In an instant, the two women in front and behind held their breath, and after about three seconds, Nicholson's voice sounded: "Elizabeth, Cate Blanchett"

Immediately, the orchestra began to play the soundtrack of "Elizabeth". Blanchett immediately covered her mouth with an expression of disbelief. Mouth ún. Adrian kept smiling all the time. Although it doesn't matter which of the two women gets the best female lead, he prefers Blanchett because it will be more beneficial to him.

"Thank you, thank you." The excited Blanchett stood up and accepted the congratulations from the "Elizabeth" crew. I don't know if it was too excited or what, and when he came to Adrian, he suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged him tightly. he.

Adrian was a little surprised at first, but then smiled on her face, causing a few low screams. You know, the camera is always on Blanchett at this time, the audience watching the Oscars all over the United States will not miss this scene, and the reporters standing in front of the TV are extremely excited, so there is something to write about now. However, Gwyneth, who was sitting obliquely in front of Adrian, turned her head slightly, her face darkened slightly.

So after sitting down, Adrian immediately pressed her shoulders, and Gwyneth gave him a somewhat reluctant "don't worry" look.

"I... I'm very excited..." After Nicholson won the best female lead award, Blanchett took a deep breath facing the current audience, "I love acting and movies, and I also love acting." More than once I dreamed of standing on this stage and waving to everyone, but when I actually stood here, I didn’t know what to say..."

Good-natured laughter rang out.

"Thanks to my parents, they raised me, to my teachers, they trained me, to my friends, they have always encouraged and supported me..." Then everyone is familiar with it, and they will say when they stand there The line, but at the end, it became a little different, "The last thing I want to thank is Ed, you brought me here, you let me see more things, there is no one better than you, I love you, you are a great director"

This speech, which seemed to be a confession, immediately received more applause, although the applauding people had different expressions. Adrian also clapped his hands gently around, and Blanchett's sincere appearance was definitely not a fake.

"Sorry, I'm a little..." Blanchett whispered in his ear when he got down and hugged again.

"It's no big deal." Adrian didn't care at all, and ěn her face in public again, causing another whisper.

Although the battle between Miracle Girls has come to an end, some things have just begun. Just wait and see, headlines like "Kate Blanchett Confesses in Public" will be unavoidable in tomorrow's media.

Although the next awards are still important, Adrian has lost interest, even though he has three nominations for best director and two films nominated for best film.

"Life is Beautiful, Roberto Bernini" This is the winner of the best actor, although he is Italian, but other nominees have their own problems, such as Jacques is too young, such as Hanks already He has won the title of best actor, and the one who has the most hope of defeating him is "Gandalf" Ian McKellen. The "Gods and Demons" he nominated is also a good biographical film, which tells the story of Hollywood in the 1950s. But what makes him gay and British—sometimes being British is good, and sometimes it's bad.

In addition, this is a movie that describes World War II, the Nazis, and the Jews from another side and another way. Spielberg can't affect everyone, but that's okay. In this way, next year's confidence will be greater up.

After winning the Oscar for Best Actor, Bernini was very excited. In addition to the previous best foreign language film, he won two statuettes. As an Italian, he is proud enough to achieve such an achievement up. Fortunately, he didn't make any crazy moves like he did in Cannes.

The next two awards are quite unexpected. The winner of the best director is not the most popular miracle director Adrian Cowell, but Robert Zemeckis who directed "Cast Away"

When the name was pronounced, not only the audience and the host were surprised, but Zemeckis himself was also very surprised. You must know that Adrian has a full three nominations. Whether it is Santer or Zemeckis, they have already placed themselves in the position of spectators, but they did not expect that the final turn of events fell on him.

But Adrian didn't care at all, instead he was the first to applaud Zemeckis. It is not difficult to guess the plan of the film academy. "Mulholland Drive" was nominated mainly because he won the best director in Cannes; although "Elizabeth" has been modified by him, the story is much smoother. But some problems are not easy to solve, so it is somewhat reluctant to be nominated for the best director; "Shakespeare in Love" is very innovative, but it is a romantic comedy, Woody Allen's "Annie Hall" After ", how many directors of romantic comedy films have won this award?

So it seems that getting three nominations at one time is very good and powerful, but in fact the chances of winning the award are not much higher than usual, and the film academy can also take this opportunity to show that "we are fair" and "we are the talents of directors". Awards and nothing else" or something.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Adrian's lack of effort in public relations, but it's just right now, Zemeckis should have won the best director with "Forrest Gump", and now it's "The Rest of the Deserted Island" Not bad. Anyway, as long as Adrian wants to, it is very easy to be nominated for the best director.

Since the best director was awarded to Zemeckis, the best film was also awarded to "The Rest of a Deserted Island". Most of the time, the best director and the best film will be awarded to the same film. Besides, "The Rest of a Deserted Island" is also an excellent inspirational movie, and two-thirds of Hanks' one-man show impressed many people, and it is well-deserved to win the best movie.

"Congratulations, Robert, you are very good." Adrian came over and held out his hand to Zemeckis.

"Thank you, Adrian, you are actually pretty good." Zemeckis was a little embarrassed. After all, this best director was snatched from Adrian by taking advantage of loopholes. He is not an idiot, and he may know the inside story of it. Not as deep as Adrian, but whoever made him Spielberg's friend can still guess the problem to some extent.

"Don't look like this, Robert, "Cast Away" is indeed well-made, and you are fully qualified to win this award." Adrian laughed, and then looked at Hanks and Spielberg who were chatting with him before :"Is it right?"

"Of course," Spielberg laughed, "I think Ed has probably regretted it now. You know, I really wanted him to direct."

"It's a good thing you didn't do that, Steven," Hanks immediately continued solemnly, "Although Ed is known for his efficiency, for an actor, it is definitely a disaster."

"You two guys, is this how you talk about me in front of others?" Adrian shouted immediately, which immediately drew their laughter.

As soon as a few witty words were said, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, and several people began to chat, just like everyone else in the hall. This is the "Oscar Night" party of "Vanity Fair". It has been held for six years so far, and it has been completely built into a brand. If you attend the Oscars but cannot attend the "Vanity Fair" party, what kind of big name is that?

"Honestly, it's a pity tonight. You can obviously win another best director." After Zemeckis and Hanks left, Spielberg said to Adrian.

"It's okay, you are not in a hurry to get the second one, so why should I be ahead of you?" Adrian shrugged.

"Is this flattering?" Spielberg laughed.

"Of course, after all, "Band of Brothers" is supervised by you, and I haven't finished a single episode yet. I have to please you, lest you suddenly quit one day." Adrian shrugged again.

Spielberg laughed even louder. He was clearly in a good mood. Although "Life is Beautiful" took best actor and best foreign language film, it only missed best picture.

"Speaking of which, I'm preparing to make a movie, "", maybe you'd like to direct it?" He suddenly asked.

"""?" Adrian thought for a while, "It's the one you plan to share with..."

"Yes, that's right." Spielberg nodded in confirmation.

"Oh, forget it, directing a Kubrick-style movie is enough, I don't want to do it again, you know that feeling..." Adrian immediately shook his head and refused.

"Really?" Spielberg looked at him with a half-smile. As one of the Big Three in DreamWorks, he still knew a little about the various entanglements between him and the two leading actors.

However, Spielberg did not continue this topic, but turned to other aspects: "Okay, but if today's situation happens again, don't regret it, Ed."

"It's okay, Robert is fully qualified to win the best director." Adrian said sincerely, and then said: "Speaking of this, maybe you can recommend a director for me?"

"Oh?" Spielberg raised his eyebrows.

"Well...you know, I got a script in 1997, and although several leading actors have basically been confirmed, I haven't been able to find a suitable director," Adrian explained, "Although I can direct, and This script is also very good, but you know, I'm going to be very busy this year..."

"Is Lord of the Rings right?" Spielberg asked suddenly.

Adrian couldn't help being a little surprised, and then the other party pointed not far away: "I heard it from there."

Turning around, the old man McKellen was talking and laughing loudly with several people.

"I knew it." Adrian couldn't help but sighed.

"Well, Ian didn't say anything, and I guessed it too." Spielberg comforted him.

"Well, let's not talk about this, I just want to ask, maybe you can recommend some suitable candidates?" Adrian said.

"Let me see... wait, '97? Isn't that the script?" Spielberg stared at him.

"That's right, that's the one." Adrian admitted generously.

"Oh," Spielberg laughed, "Dreamworks and MGM were about to sell it with great difficulty, but you quietly offered to snatch it at double the price, and now you want to let me buy it." Don't you think it's a little too much to recommend a suitable director, Ed?"

"Frankly speaking," Adrian thought carefully, "I don't think so."

"I knew it," Spielberg looked at him with a smile, "well, I'll think about it."

"Then please." Adrian patted his arm, then left.

The reason why I came to Spielberg and the others as soon as I arrived at the party was to find a suitable director for the script. Adrian considered many people, even David Lynch, but none of them were suitable. In addition, he has to focus most of his energy on the production of "The Lord of the Rings", and he has no time to carefully select a suitable director, so he only needs to find a way from Spielberg, and remember that the relationship between the original director and him is very good , the original version was also directed under his recommendation.

But now is not the time to think about it. Now that Spielberg has promised, it's time to see the winners and losers tonight. \u003c/p\u003e
