1044 Halftime
Hayden, standing on the stage, has faded away his youth and gradually transformed into a photography master. "To be honest, I am tired of working with Lance." Such an opening remark successfully made the guests laugh. "He is always challenging my bottom line, making some strange requests, and then throwing me and the entire photography team beside us, so that we can come up with a solution. This is simply the act of a tyrant." Hayden looked at Lance who was applauding happily under the stage, and couldn't help but smile, "But I have to admit that the cooperation with Lance is not only a new attempt, but also a new challenge. It is my honor to be able to capture such an excellent work as the "Rampage Road". So, I have some contradictions. On the one hand, I hope to try some different possibilities, but on the other hand, I prayed silently, hoping that this is not the last collaboration between Lance and Lance. Lancelot-Stralo, is it really a man who makes people love and hate, isn't it?"
Amid the hilarious laughter of the audience, Hayden calmly raised the Little Golden Man, and finally said again, "Fifteen years ago, my family thought I would be a terrible photographer. They thought I could not make a sky in Hollywood. Now, I stand here and tell all the children with dreams not to be too ambitious." The award speech ended like this, and it ended abruptly, but it attracted everyone's laughter and applause.
This joke is exactly the same as the humor of Allen DeGeneres at the opening.
Immediately afterwards, Robert Downey Jr. and Naomi Watts took the stage to present the Best Visual Effects Award, Pirates of the Caribbean 2, The Sea God and The Road of the Rambling, Chaos Film defeated Disney and Warner Bros. to win the seventh Little Golden Man Trophy tonight, winning the fourth consecutive award, truly completing the full-scale domination of the technical department. This reminds people involuntarily that night three years ago, when everyone witnessed the sweeping of "The Lord of the Rings 3".
The victory of the Best Visual Effects Award can be regarded as a big and unpopular one. It is not because the "Raging Road" is not strong enough, but because this work completely uses the method of on-site special effects to complete the production. At a time when computer special effects have become mainstream, such retro practices can be said to be the opposite. "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and "Sea God" both concentrate on the peak of today's computer special effects. According to the management of the academy, they should choose computer special effects, but the award result is a "Raging Road" of "Innovation, Discrimination, Rebellion", which makes people confused - what is the idea of the academy? Or is it completely the choice of special effects personnel? It is undeniable that the visual effects of the "Raging Road" really shocked 2oo for 26 years.
Subsequently, in the hot competition for the best foreign language film, the "Epiphany Storm" defeated the "Pan God's Maze", maintaining its strength in the awards season to the end, winning the Little Golden Man for Germany. This is not unpopular, but it is the best portrayal of the victory of the brave man when he meets a narrow road. The crazy upward momentum of "Pan God's Maze" in the second half of the awards season has failed to bring Mexico the first Oscar for the Best Foreign Language Film Trophy. What's even more regrettable is that all four nominations in the "Pan God's Maze" have lost, which is really regrettable.
Whether it is an accident or an unpopularity, with the awards of the best foreign language film, this also means that the first half of the awards ceremony has come to an end.
The fierce competition in the first half reminded people of "The Lord of the Rings 3" and "Titanic". Tonight's "Raging Road" seems to be unable to find a competitor. With the announcement of every award, "Raging Road" is a well-deserved winner. If there were not the Best Documentary Short Film, Best Animation Short Film, Best Animation Feature Film, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Supporting Actor and other awards interspersed with them, it seemed that there was only one crew of "Raging Road" celebrating wildly in the whole first half, which completely became a special event of "Raging Road".
This is true. Although I missed the Best Supporting Actor Award, "Rampage Road" successfully swept through the seven trophysical departments, including Best Photography, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Effect, Best Sound Effect Editing, Best Visual Effects, and Best Makeup. In addition to the Best Movie Editing Awards that have not been announced, all seven departments of the technical department have laughed to the end from "Rampage Road". People don't even know whether they should be glad. Fortunately, there is no "Rampage Road" in the nomination seats for the Best Original Song and Best Original Soundtrack Department, otherwise it will be a commendation meeting for "Rampage Road" tonight.
What's even more terrifying is that the "Raging Road" is still strongly competitive among the six nominations, which also means that it still retains the hope of breaking the number of Oscars. So far, the record with the largest number of Oscars is maintained by "Titanic", "Lord of the Rings 3" and "Ben Hu". The eleven Little Golden Man Trophys, and "Rampage Road" is still four trophys away from such a goal.
However, if "Raging Road" wants to hit this record, we must first ask whether the two works "Walkward Walker" and "Tongtian Tower" agree. The first half is completely the world of the technical department, and the other four popular works of the Best Picture have not yet appeared. Only after that, "The Little Sunshine Beauty" defeated "Walkward Walker" and won the Best Supporting Actor Award. In addition, among other departments, they did not even have nominations, so naturally they could not be called a confrontation. The real confrontation should start from the second half.
Imagine that the script department, the actor department, the director department, and the wonderful show have just begun. Just describing the trend of the next awards is enough to make people excited.
The staff bowed and invited Lance to prepare in the backstage. As the winner of the Best Supporting Actor last year, Lance will be the awards guest for the Best Supporting Actress. Lance nodded and looked back subconsciously at Emma. Emma was chatting with Charlize, talking and laughing, and was very relaxed. She turned her head reflexively and just met Lance's gaze. Her eyes flashed slightly, and she cast a light of inquiries. The familiarity and intimacy made Lance gently pull the corner of her mouth, as if she gradually began to get used to this kind of change in detail. "If you need it, you can go to the bathroom now."
Emma shook her head happily, patted Lance's right hand, and then gently pinched it. She could feel the faint temperature, which made her feel unprecedentedly at ease, "Don't worry, I was ready before I left today." Under the guidance of professionals, the amount and timing of water intake were controlled, so as to avoid the "three urgent" situations during the ceremony as much as possible. So, Emma was so comfortable at this time.
Charlize leaned over and waved his hand, "You go and present the awards, we are ready to laugh out loud in the audience." This joke made Lance smile.
Without dragging the water, Lance stood up and followed the staff and took a step. A gaze could vaguely feel on his back like a shadow. Turning back, he saw Emma's bright smile. Just a glance from a dragonfly, then Lance turned around and continued to move forward, but his steps seemed to be more steady, and he could clearly feel the thickness and warmth of the carpet.
Entering the backstage, a noisy and warm atmosphere suddenly came to my face, which was a completely different scene from the guest seat.
Cate Blanchett, who had just finished the award for the Best Foreign Language Film, was about to go back to his position and greeted him with a smile, "Jesus Christ, I have heard the fourth person express regret for me in the backstage today. I have not been able to star in your next work, so, I think, you should remember to owe me a collaboration, right?"
"We can complete the signing before the party," Lance said with a smile, and then Kate turned back to Cliff Irving behind him and shouted, "I got the role of Lance's next work!" It attracted attention from the surroundings.
Farewell to Kate and Cliff, Tom Cruise was still congratulating Lance on the harvest tonight. Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt walked over to express their congratulations. Not far away, Robert Downey Jr. and Naomi Watts greeted him from afar, and then walked towards the theater. Before he could move further, Eva Green's graceful figure appeared in sight. "Congratulations, congratulations." There were seven or eight steps away from Lance, and the voice had already arrived.
The situation became even more chaotic after Lance entered the standby room. Everyone knows that regardless of whether the "Rampant Road" can reach the top tonight, this work has received enough attention. Currently, the sweeping performance of the seven-seater trophy is the best evidence. As a director, Lance's appeal in Hollywood has reached a higher level. Even if everyone hates Lance, no one can refuse Lance's invitation. This is the so-called absolute strength, and the initiative is firmly held in Lance's hands. It is hard to imagine how popular Lance will be after tonight's award ceremony - after all, "Invincible Hulk" has been completed, right?
If it weren't for the staff's help, Lance probably wouldn't be able to get out, let alone find time to warm up for his awards and slogans.
Lance felt that he had just been preparing for less than thirty seconds, and the staff came to inform him, "Lance, it's your turn to appear." The second half will be unveiled by the Best Supporting Actress Awards.
Lance adjusted his breathing, cleared his thoughts again, and then followed the staff toward the side platform. Leaving the standby room, walking down the corridor to the end, turning around, you can see layers of curtains, and the surroundings are dark, blocking all the lights from the stage. Alan DeGeneres' assistant fired a flashlight in the darkness to finalize Alan's makeup.
Chapter completed!
