Chapter 912: Great Luck
The technical award at the beginning is both an Oscar appetizer and a consolation prize for the Lost. From the Best Adapted Screenplay Awards, the Academy Awards Ceremony will enter ** tonight.
The crew of "Brokeback Mountain" first got the best adapted script, then got the best photography, and then the best editing fell into their hands.
"The best director can't be guaranteed to be won by these three awards," Ronan whispered to Jessica Felton. "But the best film is basically ours."
Jessica Felton nodded gently: "I have also heard that script, editing and photography awards are the outposts of best films. If you win two of them, you will have more than 80% chances of winning."
The crew was excited at this time, and even Ang Lee, who was a little nervous, was no exception. Even if he couldn't win the Best Director, he could have the Best Picture Little Golden Man, which would be a huge victory for him, the director.
It can also completely reverse the decline since "The Hulk".
However, the actors were a little disappointed. Anne Hathaway did not come to the scene because she was not nominated. Michelle Williams and Jack Gillenhill had already lost the best supporting role. Heath Ledger needed a miracle to win the best actor.
This is true. Philip Hoffman, the male lead in another gay film, is a veteran actor who can instantly kill Heath Ledger in terms of age and qualifications, and has won the first best actor in his life, Little Golden Man.
This result is also in line with the public relations investment of Embassy Film. If there is no sufficient resource investment, of course there will be no corresponding output.
The subsequent Best Actress, Reese Witherspoon won the Best Actress, and another Hollywood vase completed the transformation at the Oscars.
If Ronan remembers correctly, this is also one of the most popular actresses who has been named the most in the past thirty years. It is said that Reese Witherspoon spent the remaining pay for the past two films to do public relations.
The effect is significant, but it is not easy for an actress to make a comeback.
Since the beginning of the new century, several Oscar-best actresses have fully interpreted what the Oscar-winning actress curse is with extremely vivid cases.
Halle Berry and "Catwoman", Nicole Kidman and "The Fairy Wife in the Family", Charlize Theron and "The Magical Warrior", there is only one thing to compare, who is more miserable than who is defeated.
Hillary Swank is a more rational person. Since he won the Oscar for Best Actress, he has not taken any movies yet. He can be said to be very cautious.
In fact, this situation is not difficult to understand. Nowadays, winning the Oscar for Best Actress is often not just the film companies investing resources, but also the actors themselves need considerable investment. Investment must require returns. Just the honor of the Oscar Little Golden Man will definitely not meet the needs of the winners.
Therefore, celebrities are eager to get back their money and take high-paid commercial videos. The most important thing they are staring at is the pay, and they will naturally ignore other things.
Moreover, the literary goddess who is touted by the media and film critics may not be popular among the public movie fans.
With the intense music, last year's Best Director Clint Eastwood walked onto the stage with the beat. The older the cowboy, the harder the cowboy, will be awarded the Best Director Award at this year.
Ang Lee kept smiling and was a little nervous. The Oscar had reached its 78th session, and no Chinese director had ever been able to win the best director Xiao Jinren.
As long as he wins the award, Ang Lee is not only the number one person in the East, but will inevitably be recorded in the history of Eastern films and even become an iconic figure in the Eastern film industry.
After experiencing many Oscars, Ronan can already face it with a relatively stable attitude.
Jessica Felton glanced at Ronan and knew quite well about Ronan. The winners of the last two awards meant that they could increase the global box office of $40 million and the offline channel revenue of $60 million.
On the stage, Clint Eastwood's word links are as direct as his own personality: "The following five directors have brought us five very exciting films in the past year!"
While speaking, he had already looked sideways at the big screen, which was introduced along with the scenes of various films: "The ones who won the Oscar nomination for Best Director tonight are Stephen Spielberg's "Munich"; George Clooney's "Good Night, Good Luck", Ann Lee's "Brokeback Mountain", Bennett Miller's "Capport", and Joe White's "Pride and Prejudice."
Clint Eastwood didn't give anyone any nervous or expectant time. He opened the envelope without even raising his head, and said, "The one who won the best director is An Lee, "Brokeback Mountain"!"
The applause immediately sounded, and Ronan immediately stood up and applauded, and at the same time he called everyone in the crew to stand up. The crew members stood up and gave Ang Lee applause, and the people around him also stood up.
Soon, everyone stood up in the area where the guests in the front row of the theater were sitting.
Ang Lee first hugged his wife Lin Huijia. This is a very amazing woman. Ang Lee has been ups and downs and finally won the best director. Lin Huijia made an indelible contribution.
Then, Ang Lee hugged Ronan again: "Thank you."
This sentence is short and hasty, but it contains countless gratitude.
"Go to the stage." Luo Nan gently pounded Ang Lee's arm.
Ang Lee focused on the key points and walked onto the highest stage of his directorial career. However, before he took the stage, he looked back at the place where the crew was.
At this moment, he felt that it was a great luck to meet Ronan.
Walking onto the stage and taking over the Oscar Little Golden Man from Clint Eastwood, Ang Lee stood in front of the microphone: "Two years ago, my career suffered a serious setback, and then I was only frustrated, but someone told me that failure was not a problem of my ability, but I chose a project that was not suitable. He encouraged me, he trusted me, he was willing to take the risk of investing in me, I had today. So, I want to thank him!"
Ang Lee looked at the location of the crew of Brokeback Mountain: "Ronan, thank you! Without you, I might be a loser and wouldn't stand here."
Countless eyes from the audience turned to Ronan.
At this moment, the winner was Ang Lee, but the focus of Kodak Theater was Ronan.
Sitting in the seat, Ronan always kept a decent smile.
Ang Lee's remarks continued, but due to time limitations, the speech speed was accelerated: "Thank you for your recognition. The movie "Brokeback Mountain" is neither about homosexuality nor about women and love, but about love itself. This is a story about true love. Thank you for your support, thank you for my wife and son, I love you, and I will be with you forever. Although my father unfortunately passed away during this period, I have to thank my mother in my family."
Speaking of this, he changed to Chinese: "Thank you all the compatriots in the East for their support, and thank you for your concern!"
Although he is a standard banana person, Ang Lee has always been a very smart person.
After Ang Lee finished speaking about his award, he did not go to the backstage, but stood at the exit of the backstage, waiting for the last award to be awarded.
Since the 78th Academy Awards Ceremony has been held, only the last award has not been announced yet.
Best video!
Jack Nicholson, wearing sunglasses, walked onto the stage like a gangster boss, holding the envelope.
Ronan is very stable. There is no dark horse in this class. He pulled "Crash" to the Oscar last year, and there is no racist suppression.
The only thing to worry about is the egalitarian share of the cake.
But "Brokeback Mountain" won the best adapted script, best photography and best editing, and the chances of losing the award are very low.
Since joining this Oscar game and gaining a certain level of strength, under the influence of Ronan, the Embassy Films' strategy of Olympic Games has always been a dignified public relations award-winning path. Starting from the initial outpost awards, the films that operate have become popular, constantly winning various awards, and have become the number one hottest by the Oscars ceremony.
The upset is a low-probability event. The Oscars have the highest chance of winning, and they have always been popular players in the awards season.
On the stage, Jack Nicholson has opened the envelope and announced the results: "The best film is "Brokeback Mountain"!"
Unpopularity has not appeared, and winning awards is a common situation for Oscars, and "Brokeback Mountain" is no exception.
The applause rang again, and the crew of "Brokeback Mountain" was filled with joy.
Jessica Felton and Ronan hugged: "Congratulations!"
Luo Nan felt the two mountains pressing over, and hugged them a little and separated: "Thank you." He greeted all the crew members: "Go on stage, go on stage to receive the award!"
This is completely different from last year's "Crash" wins Best Picture.
"Crash" is a movie that purchased the copyright of the Embassy Film Company outside the Embassy Film Company, and "Brokeback Mountain" was completed by Relativity Entertainment from production to distribution.
A dozen people in the crew walked towards the stage under Ronan's leadership, and only Jessica Felton and several family members remained at the seats.
Of course, people like Jessica Felton would not follow in the fun.
Ang Lee also walked out of the exit of the stage and hugged and celebrated with the main creators of the crew one by one.
Tonight is a truly happy night for him.
Ronan took over the Little Golden Man from Jack Nicholson. Ang Lee had just said his acceptance speech and took the initiative to retreat.
"Thank you for the college." Ronan's acceptance speech was more like a routine: "Thank you director Ang Lee for bringing a masterpiece, thank you all the crew, and thank you to Shahai Entertainment and Embassy Film for all those involved in this film. You are all good!"
He raised the trophy: "This is my first Oscar! It is a huge glory! Life never stops, the movie never ends! I will never tire of the movie!"
Amid the applause, everyone in the crew of "Brokeback Mountain" left the stage.
When he came to the backstage, Ronan gave the opportunity to interview the reporter to others, and Xiao Jinren also temporarily handed over the technicians to engrave the award names.
The backstage was in a mess, and many people came to congratulate Ronan.
There is no doubt that Brokeback Mountain is the super winner tonight, and Relativity Entertainment is also the big winner in business this year's Oscars.
Chapter completed!
