I became popular on the stage

Chapter 684 The number of nominations for the horror of "Titanic" (two-in-one, please subscribe)

outside world.

The audience who were watching the live broadcast of the Oscars ceremony also became lively.

"Who is the winner tonight?"

"I'm looking forward to it, I'm so excited."

"Every year at the Academy Awards, there will be a film that is particularly favored by the organizing committee, and then sweeps the awards. I wonder which film it is this year?"

"I think it is "Southern Wind and Cloud". The reality revealed by this movie is too profound."

"I think it's "Bumping the Wall". If you don't hit the south wall, you don't look back..."

"That's "Crash"!"

"..."

Everyone is talking about which movie will win which award tonight, and which movie will be the biggest winner.

Someone guessed "Southern Wind and Cloud".

Someone guessed "Crash".

Of course, some people guess Lin Xuan's "Titanic", and there are quite a few of them.

But before the Oscar Organizing Committee officially announces the list, no outsider can know who the real winner of each award is.

Because the list of Oscar winners can be regarded as the most confidential content in the world.Even all the official members of the Oscar Organizing Committee did not know the results of the awards.

How is the annual list of Oscar winners released?
First: It is the number of votes counted in the early stage.After the Oscar judges vote for the awards, they will entrust an accounting firm to count the votes. There are 24 awards for the Oscars, and 6000 people participated in the voting. This is a huge project.From the day when Oscar voting ends, an 8-person accounting firm vote counting team will bring the voting results to a secret place for statistics, and this process alone will take three days.

Second: The counting of votes is all done manually.Although the electronic voting system is very convenient nowadays, in order to avoid leaks and possible electronic errors, the statistical process is all the most primitive manual calculation, without using computers or other high-tech software in any link.

Third: Each counting team member is separated from each other.Each statistical team will only count part of the votes for the same award, and the team leader will add up the votes of each person to get the final result.Finally, it will be summarized in the hands of the final two leaders.

Fourth: The staff will print award cards and award introductions for each nominee and nominated work. Even those who have not won a prize will prepare a copy in advance, because they do not know who the winner is.

A high degree of confidentiality mechanism allows only the two leaders of the vote counting team to know the results of each award before it is announced.The two leaders would not sort out a complete list of award-winning results until the morning of the awards ceremony, and put them in a special confidential box to bring to the Oscars ceremony.

Even in order to ensure safety and avoid emergencies, the two will go to the destination in two ways, and security personnel will be by their side to provide protection throughout the process.

So in North America, many people say: You can easily know who the next president will be in a few years, but you will never know who the Oscar winner will be tomorrow.

on the stage.

Franzoni was full of smiles and his voice was loud: "Oscar has never been complacent. It encourages everyone to be more innovative and bring more heart to the film industry. It favors actors with changeable paths and directors who take unusual paths. .”

Julia smiled and said: "That's right, so every year at the Oscars, we can find many good works, which surprise us and amaze us. Then in the past year, what good works can enter the eyes of the Oscar judges?" ?”

when speaking.

Behind the stage, two men with security boxes appeared.

There was a commotion in the audience.

"Those two are from the accounting firm."

"It seems to be called Puang Accounting Firm."

"They do the annual Oscar vote count."

"In their box is the result of tonight's Oscar award."

Everyone's eyes became blazing.

He looked at the two gray-black boxes with scorching eyes.

Even Lin Xuan couldn't help but speed up his heartbeat at this moment, and his blood boiled.

On the contrary, the two hosts on the stage couldn't see any tension on their faces. They chatted and laughed happily with each other, and their humorous words appeared frequently, which caused bursts of laughter from the audience.

This is the advantage of using actors as hosts. They don't have the burden of hosts, so they can let go. Even if they make mistakes, everyone will not blame them, but will become a joke.Coupled with the fact that actors are naturally close to the audience, the effect is of course better.

After seeing the atmosphere gradually reach a climax.

Only then did Franzoni smile and said, "Okay, everyone must have been waiting impatiently, right? Then I won't talk nonsense. There are a total of 63 works nominated for the Academy Awards this time."

Behind him, the names of 63 movies appeared on the huge screen.

"Maybe there are still many excellent films that have not been nominated, but I can be sure that these 63 films must be good films that we have carefully selected in the past year. Each of them should not be nominated. It will disappoint everyone. So next, which works can finally win Oscars?
We first announce the number of nominations for each of the 24 awards. "

talking.

A hostess from behind came up with a tray.

Franzoni picked up an exquisite hand card from the tray, he opened it, took a look, and then said with a smile: "First of all, there are nominations for best photography, um... There are five films nominated for best photography, they are respectively Yes:
"Southern Wind and Cloud" by Michelle.

The Immortal City by Charlize.

Lin Xuan's "Titanic".

Pietro's "Good Will Hunting".

Richard's As Good As It Gets. "

Every time a movie is spoken, a short video introduction of the movie will appear on the big screen behind.

In the audience, many people discussed.

"Excellent, "Southern Wind and Cloud" and "Immortal City" have already received one nomination."

"They're the Oscar hits this year."

"It's really powerful, no wonder the voice is so loud."

"But I haven't seen any of these movies."

"Normally, most of the time Oscar hits are of a small variety."

"Lin Xuan's movie is also selected?"

"The scene of "Titanic" has the ultimate grandeur, the ultimate romance, and it is normal to be selected for the best photography."

Seeing the first five nominated works, everyone nodded secretly.

But at this moment, every guest remained calm, because they knew that the first few nominations were appetizers, and the heavy nominations were all behind.

offstage.

Lin Xuan sat with a smile. Except for the tumbling in his heart at the beginning, his heart has completely calmed down at this moment.Waiting for the announcement of each award.

On the contrary, many guests at the scene, many people looked at him.

Especially Gustav, Jia Aisi and other Hollywood directors who have a gambling agreement with Lin Xuan, their eyes are even more complicated, and they don't know what they are thinking.

Guan Yuman glanced at Lin Xuan subconsciously: "Aren't you nervous?"

Lin Xuan said lightly: "Why are you nervous?"

Guan Yuman said: "You are betting against Hollywood directors... Although "Titanic" is nominated for the best cinematography, "Southern Wind and Cloud", "Immortal City", and "Good Will Hunting" are all Hollywood directors. Director's work. This means that the chances of our film winning are too small."

"Ha ha."

Lin Xuan smiled: "The more nominations, the better. Sometimes the nominated works may just make up the number?"

Even Adonis, who had so much confidence in Lin Xuan, couldn't help but roll his eyes. Director Lin was too confident. How could he say "Southern Wind and Cloud", a Hollywood hit, was just a piece of work?

Fortunately, this remark was not heard by the reporter, otherwise it would probably cause an uproar.

……

In the Hollywood Directors Guild.

Everyone was watching the live broadcast of the Oscars today. Although they knew that Lin Xuan would not win the Oscars, two years had passed, and the next few hours were not too far behind.

"Heh, Lin Xuan got off to a good start and got a nomination."

"Haha, it's not bad."

"It's a pity that we have three directors, Michelle, Charlitz, and Pietro, who have also been nominated. Three against one, they can kill Lin Xuan."

"Haha, Lin Xuan is probably desperate."

"..."

When everyone is discussing.

suddenly.

Bang!
The door was knocked open abruptly, and a staff member hurried in and handed a few pages to the bearded man.

Surprised in his heart, the bearded man took the paper and looked at it for a few times, his face showing fury: "Fake! How unreasonable!"

"what happened?"

"what's up?"

"what happened?"

The others were startled, and hurriedly asked.

The bearded man said angrily: "That bastard Lin Xuan, he actually used Hollywood's resources behind our backs to make movies! Doesn't he take our directors union seriously?"

Everyone was stunned.

Soon, the man with gold spectacles frowned and said, "No, right? I checked, and Lin Xuan hasn't made a movie recently, and his "Transformers 2" hasn't started for a long time. Maybe the news is wrong."

The bearded man snorted, "What a mistake! Look, you guys! It's true that Lin Xuan didn't make a movie himself, but he secretly let someone else do it!"

As he spoke, he threw the paper in his hand on the table.

"what?"

"Is there still this?"

Soon, everyone could see clearly what was on the paper.

But then, a louder exclamation sounded.

"Langman joined the Second World?"

"God! Are you sure you're not joking?"

"Didn't he have a grudge against Lin Xuan? It's just ridiculous!"

"And Byron, Dahl, Felix, and Cliff have all become directors in the second world?"

"They hide so deeply!"

"Longman is a top director in Hollywood, and he actually joined a Chinese company? Is he crazy?"

"It may be that Langman has been forced by the capital recently, so he jumps over the wall in a hurry."

"No matter how miserable it is, you can't help the evildoers!"

Every member of the directors' union showed deep shock on their faces, and everyone's hearts were filled with shock.Five big Hollywood directors actually joined the Second World?They didn't get any news about such a big event.

What's even more outrageous is that these five people avoided the attention of almost everyone a month ago, and they agreed to set up five films, and these five films are currently being filmed intensely.

How did Lin Xuan do it?

What does he want to do?
Many people are about to explode.

Some people were angry with Lin Xuan's actions.

Some people feel the betrayal of Longman and Byron and others.

One person narrowed his eyes and said, "Langman's behavior must be stopped immediately, and all means must be used to stop the shooting of the five films."

Another roared: "Yes, it must be terminated immediately. And hold Lin Xuan accountable!"

Burning with anger.

Someone has picked up the phone and is ready to act.

However, someone suddenly said in the next second: "Everyone, please don't get excited. Now that the Oscars ceremony is going on, what if Lin Xuan wins again? Doesn't that mean that he is fully qualified to stay in Hollywood and use Hollywood's resources?" Resources? We must not be impulsive now."

There was a sneer at the scene.

"Can Lin Xuan win?"

"fart!"

"Our victory is certain, what will Lin Xuan win?"

No one believed that Lin Xuan had room to stand up.

But the bearded man took a deep breath and calmed down: "Brown is right, now we have a chance to win, and it's not too short of these few hours, let Lin Xuan pass the award ceremony safely. When the award ceremony is over, we Immediately issue an announcement to let Lin Xuan withdraw from Hollywood, and at the same time order him to stop the shooting of the five films. Of course, now we can prepare the preliminary work, just wait for the award ceremony to end, and attack Lin Xuan!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

Everyone clenched their fists.

Everyone looked at the TV screen again, their eyes full of vigor.

……

now.

On the scene of the Oscars, the awards ceremony is still going on.

Julia's voice was clear: "The second nomination is announced for Best Art Direction, and the nominated films are:

"Crash" by Edron.

"Southern Wind and Cloud" by Michelle.

Lin Xuan's "Titanic".

The Life of Dara by Dandy.

Cheryl's Men in Black. "

It's five movies again.

Many people twitched their eyebrows because they found out that in the second nomination, Lin Xuan's "Titanic" was once again shortlisted for the award.

"interesting."

"Lin Xuan already has two nominations."

"It seems that the Oscar judges have a good impression of "Titanic"."

Gustav's expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "Don't make a fuss, the artistic atmosphere of "Titanic" is indeed very good, and this award has no weight, so how about giving him a nomination? The following best actor and actress, best The weight of the film and the best director are each more important than the ten best art directors."

Jayce smiled and said, "That's right, the best part is yet to come."

When the host said nominations, the directors of the related films just stood up and nodded, so the progress was fast.

After a few minutes.

Here comes the third award nomination.

Franzoni looked at the card in his hand and said: "The third nomination award is the best costume design. Well...the same five films were nominated. They are: Charlize's "Immortal City", M. Xie Er's "Southern Wind and Cloud", Lin Xuan's "Titanic"..."

There was a little restlessness in the audience.

Because Titanic is in it again!

For the first three nominations, Lin Xuan's films were all hits!
Gustav blinked: "Don't panic, it's still the same sentence, the ones in front are all small shrimps. And the costume design in the movie "Titanic" is indeed a masterpiece. It is understandable to be shortlisted for this award."

Even Adonis and the crew members of "Titanic" didn't have much fluctuation on their faces.Apparently they felt that it was expected that the film could be shortlisted in these three categories.

However, the eyes of the netizens who were watching the live broadcast at the moment were all bright.

Especially the young people in Huaxia are very excited.

"Ah, Brother Xuan has been shortlisted for three awards."

"Too awesome."

"As expected of Brother Xuan, he hits the target with every shot."

"Although they are all nominations that are not popular, they are still amazing."

"Looking forward to the next one, Brother Xuan can bring us more surprises."

soon.

The announcement of the fourth nomination list has begun.

The two hosts read the list alternately.

This time, it was Julia's turn, and she smiled and read: "The films nominated for the best make-up are: Edron's "Crash", Lin Xuan's "Titanic"..."

Fourth nomination!
Titanic hits again!
At the scene, everyone fell into a silence.Many people already showed slight surprise on their faces.

what happened?

Have the Oscar judges changed their minds about commercial films?
Although the first four nominations are not very important, isn't the 100% hit rate of "Titanic" too high?
Even among the major Oscar hits reported by the media before, only "Southern Wind and Cloud" got three nominations, which is not as many as "Titanic".

In the doubts of everyone.

The fifth nomination has been announced.

Franzoni's voice spread throughout the audience: "The fifth award is Best Supporting Actress, the nominees are: Helena "Crash", Dominy "Southern Wind and Cloud", Gloria "Titanic"... "

The Best Supporting Actress award is already considered a decent award.

Therefore, before Franzoni announced the shortlist, many people sat up straight with their hearts suspended.On the contrary, the crew members of "Titanic" looked calm.Because there are only a few female supporting roles in "Titanic", and the final part of the role is to play the elderly Ruth, the 85-year-old old lady Gloria, so everyone did not expect this award.

Until they heard Gloria's name.

In an instant, bewilderment and surprise appeared on the faces of the crew members.

Hit again?
Nominated again?

Especially Gloria, the eighty-year-old lady opened her eyes wide and didn't react for a while.She never dreamed that at such an age, she could still be shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

And the scene began to stir up waves.

""Titanic" was shortlisted as a female supporting role?"

"God! How is it possible?"

"The fifth one?!"

"..."

Many people looked at each other in blank dismay, and began to feel a little restless.

On the stage.

The two star hosts are still quickly reading the list of shortlisted films one by one.

"The nominees for Best Supporting Actor are: Robin "Crash", Bott "Dangerous Liaisons"..."

"The nominees for the best foreign language film are: Holland's "Character", Germany's "Out of the Silence"..."

"The nominees for Best Documentary Feature are:"

"Nominated for Best Animated Feature...Best Original Screenplay...Best Adapted Screenplay..."

In the next seven or eight nominations, the name of "Titanic" finally disappeared, which made many people subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.

However, many people have not noticed that most of these nominations have nothing to do with "Titanic", and it is precisely because of this that they were not shortlisted for nominations.

Everyone just subconsciously felt that it would be enough without the name of "Titanic".

Otherwise it's too scary.

Every nomination has Lin Xuan's movie, whose heart can bear it?

Time passed by minute by minute.

at last.

When the time came to around seven o'clock in the evening, many people's hearts began to tighten unknowingly, and their eyes showed anxiety and seriousness.

everybody knows.

Soon, the next shortlisted awards will enter the real focus!

"The twentieth announced award is nominated for Best Sound Effects. The shortlist includes: Charlize's "Immortal City", Lin Xuan's "Titanic"..."

The name of "Titanic" sounded again.

The sixth!

Exclamations from some guests began to sound at the scene.

To be shortlisted for six awards at the Oscars is considered a pinnacle achievement for a commercial blockbuster!
However, no one thought that the next time would become a unique show!

center stage.

The eyes of Franzoni and Julia have changed from calmness to suspicion.

Every time they picked up the card and looked at the content inside, their pupils would shrink subconsciously.Obviously saw some incredible words.

And their shock was transferred to the faces of all the guests during the following host process.

"The nominees for best sound effects editing are: Lin Xuan's "Titanic", Michelle's "Southern Wind and Cloud"..."

"Nominated for Best Visual Effects: Lin Xuan's "Titanic"..."

"Nominated for Best Editing: Lin Xuan's "Titanic"..."

"The nominees for best original soundtrack for a drama are: Lin Xuan's "Titanic"..."

"Nominated for Best Original Song: My heart will go gon "Titanic"..."

Almost every time the host's voice sounded.

The guests in the audience will subconsciously swallow their saliva.

Titanic.

Titanic

Or the Titanic.

So far, Titanic has won a total of eleven nominations.

Yes.

Eleven nominations!
This number surpassed last year, surpassed the year before... becoming the film with the most nominations in the past five years!

As for the three most popular films before, only "Southern Wind and Cloud" was shortlisted for 5 nominations, not even half of "Titanic"!

Shock.

sluggish.

at a loss.

In previous Oscar awards ceremonies, the host and guests would have the most enthusiastic interaction, with frequent noises and laughter.

However this time.

Thousands of guests at the scene fell into deathly silence, and everyone's pupils were wide open, staring straight at Franzoni and Julia who were reciting the list on the stage.

As for Franzoni and Julia, their hands were shaking more and more, and their voices trembled uncontrollably.

The two almost lost their composure.

This is unprecedented for them.

worldwide.

Netizens who were watching the live broadcast at this moment were also deeply shocked.

"Oh, God!"

"my God!"

"Titanic again?"

"Or it?"

"My god, I've never seen anything like this."

"Except for supporting actor, "Titanic" has been shortlisted for almost all possible awards?"

They stared at the screen and listened to the host's voice.

I don't know how many people have fallen into self-doubt at this moment.

Gustav clenched his hands tightly, his palms were sweating, he tried to calm down: "Don't... don't panic."

Jayce: "..."

Gerald: "..."

No one answered.

What the hell, there are ten nominations, so why not panic?
How good is your mental quality?
Gabriel's "My Lonely Life" received only eight nominations last year, which means that Lin Xuan's film nominations have surpassed them.

Although the ten nominations are all insignificant awards, "Titanic" can be shortlisted for almost all of these awards. They think with their buttocks, among the nominations for the next heavyweight awards, "Titanic" may also be shortlisted. No less.

Everyone's faces became more and more ugly, and their hearts gradually sank to the bottom.

How can it be like this?

Why is it like this?
Doesn't it mean that commercial blockbusters won't be favored by Oscar judges?

This is not favored?
My own son can't get so many finalist awards, okay?
In everyone's dull eyes.

The real shock is coming!
Under everyone's gaze, as expected, after Franzoni got the next nomination list, his hands subconsciously shook again.

Then, Franzoni regained his composure and said, "The nominees for Best Actress are: Guan Yuman's "Titanic"..."

Guan Yuman stood up suddenly, his face full of surprise.

she?
She was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress?

At this moment, Guan Yuman almost thought she was dreaming, because she never thought that she could be shortlisted for an Oscar, and she didn't even think about it.

But who would have thought that he would be nominated just like that.

"This is real?"

Guan Yuman looked at Lin Xuan with disbelief in his eyes.

Lin Xuan smiled slightly: "Of course it's true, because you deserve it. Only outsiders know how good your Ruth is. And it's only a finalist, and you haven't officially won the award yet."

Guan Yuman patted his throbbing chest: "Enough, enough. I haven't even thought about being nominated for an award, so don't expect to win."

She sat down again, unable to calm down for a long time.

on site.

become more and more quiet.

The guests sat blankly.

The reporters were dumbfounded.

"Titanic" has received its twelfth nomination!

And this time the nomination award is a heavyweight heroine nomination!

Julia's voice sounded again: "The nominees for best actor are: Adonis "Titanic"..."

One hit!
The thirteenth item!
Everyone has become numb.

On the contrary, Lin Xuan, who had been calm before, was startled subconsciously. He rubbed his eyes: "Adonis has been nominated for Best Actor?"

What the hell!

real or fake?

And Adonis next to him saw Lin Xuan's reaction, and he almost spit out blood before he was happy: "Director Lin, what do you mean? The previous twelve nominations, you all took it for granted. In the end, I won the best award." The nomination of Best Actor, but you can't believe it? I don't deserve to be nominated as a co-author?"

"Cough cough."

Lin Xuan smiled awkwardly: "No, no."

Adonis got angry: "You are."

Lin Xuan: "..."

Where did he think that Adonis could be nominated for the best actor?In the previous life, Xiao Lizi was not shortlisted, okay?All the awards have been shortlisted, but Xiao Lizi is not good, right?

Who would have thought that the Oscar judges in this world would be kind to Adonis?

Adonis didn't delve into it.

Because Franzoni's voice came again on the stage: "The nominees for best director are: Lin Xuan's "Titanic"..."

then.

It was Julia's shocking voice that rang in everyone's ears again: "The best picture nominees are: "Titanic"..."

So far!

The list of nominees for this year's Academy Awards has finally been announced.

Before this time.

The scene was filled with applause, cheers and laughter.Many people have already begun to congratulate each other, and they are looking forward to the announcement of the real award-winning results.

But today's scene, apart from the host's voice, has already become dead silent.

Even the lights on the stage have not been changed for a long time, it seems that the lighting engineer has also been sluggish.

Best actress.

Best Actor.

Best director.

Best film.

Four heavyweight awards, "Titanic" are all shortlisted!
This means that at the 98th Academy Awards, "Titanic" won 15 nominations in one fell swoop, breaking the century-old record of the Academy Awards!

Everyone's scalp tingled when they saw the result.
