Plagiarism from the World - [-] Talkers Talk about Oscar (Part [-])

"This time is not that time!" Ni Kuang sighed: "Although it has only been 8 days, the world situation has changed drastically. I am worried that Tang Xiao and his company will face many obstacles in the Oscars. If we want to win the Golden Globe The glory of the award is almost impossible."

"Old Ni, you are alarmist! I know you mean the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in the United States? But the Oscars have never been related to politics. I think the Oscars have a lot to do with the box office. , which movie have you seen that didn’t do well at the box office?”

Li Hanxiang finally spoke at this time: "I think what Lao Ni said is not unreasonable. Although the Oscars say that they have nothing to do with politics, they are still affected by politics. And this year's MGM's "Hot Night" " and Columbia Pictures' "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" will be the biggest threats to "The Godfather" because both films deal with racial discrimination issues and the civil rights movement. And although these two films are far behind in terms of box office It is lower than "The Godfather", but they are not inferior to "The Godfather" in terms of shooting techniques and artistic appeal, especially the "Hot Night"!"

Then, Li Hanxiang analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of "The Godfather" and the other two films in detail from a professional perspective, and finally he concluded: "If the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. had not happened, "The Godfather" would have at least a certainty of winning." More than 7%, but now the judges will unknowingly consider the emotions of 2300 million black people and the emotions of the majority of anti-racist people, so the probability of "The Godfather" winning has dropped to less than 5%. However, in each In terms of individual awards, "The Godfather" still has outstanding advantages, for example, Marlon Brando's status as best actor will be hard to shake!"

"What about screenwriters? There are two awards for screenwriters, namely 'Best Original Screenplay' and 'Best Adapted Screenplay'. Tang Xie has 5 works shortlisted, won't he return empty-handed?" Ni Kuang also looked serious. , and the hearts of Fan Nu and other Tang Dynasty bigwigs were suspended.

Li Hanxiang still said grimly: "Although Mr. Tang Xiao has 5 works nominated, except for "The Godfather" and "The Graduate", the other three are not competitive. For example, "My Sassy Girlfriend" is a purely commercial film. , "Goodbye Firefly" is a cartoon, while "Letter from Iwo Jima" and "Flags of Our Fathers" are a conjoined film with more elements to try. Therefore, in terms of screenwriting, Mr. Tang Xiao's work can win an award. Not bad."

"A question that many Hong Kong audiences are very concerned about is that Audrey Hepburn was nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress at the same time. Doesn't she have a chance to win one of them?" Huang Zhan and Audrey Hepburn Having hosted the show together, he naturally cared about Audrey Hepburn very much.While Audrey Hepburn was in Hong Kong, she not only filmed "Hong Kong Love", hosted "Spring Festival Song Concert", but also released a Chinese song album, so for Hong Kong people, Audrey Hepburn is their favorite A foreign female star.

Li Hanxiang seems to be an authority. He said: "Like many people in Hong Kong, I also like Audrey Hepburn very much, and she is my good friend. I also hope that she will win the award. However, I have to say that her The opponent is very strong, such as Katharine Hepburn. Regarding this award, I had a private chat with Audrey Hepburn. She did not have much expectation for this award. Meet her good friends. However, she said that next year and the year after, she will definitely work hard to become an Oscar queen again. She also mentioned her "Hong Kong Love" separately. She thinks that in this film, she It is the most satisfying performance. She herself feels that she has the strength to challenge the next Oscar queen."

"I don't think that Katharine Hepburn is so good. She is 60 years old, why are she here to compete with young people? And I also know that this person has a big temper, like a man, and is difficult to get along with. How could she be as cute as Audrey? I don’t understand, they both have the same surname Hepburn, how can there be such a big difference in personality and cultivation?” What did Ni Kuang say, and what he said is exactly what many audiences like to hear .

Huang Zhan laughed and said: "Yeah, the difference between these two Hepburns is too great. Catherine is a calm realist. She was born in a radical American upstart family. She basically grew up casually. Sitting, and like trousers, neglect dress.

But Audrey is a fanatical idealist, a graceful European nobleman with a measured manner and a dignified manner.She likes fancy clothes and leads the fashion trend.Audrey's parents divorced, and her father who abandoned the family made her feel insecure throughout her life.Catherine's loving parents encourage children to hold their own views on everything, and list self-confidence as a major direction of family education.Audrey's appearance is impeccable, but she feels depressed and inferior, thinking that she has "too big face, too big eyes, and too big feet". After exchanging wedding rings, the first thing she said to her husband-in-law was: "Thank you You, finally someone is willing to marry me. ’ Catherine, with her shaggy red hair and freckled face, was incredibly confident about her looks.Someone once pointed out that she lacked femininity, and Catherine replied sharply: "There is always someone who has a different understanding of sexiness than you do!" '..."

"What? Audrey actually said 'thank you, finally someone is willing to marry me.' Like that? When did you know? Why didn't you tell me until now? God, there are still people in this world who don't want to marry her Your man?" Ni Kuang yelled loudly.

Huang Zhan ignored Ni Kuang, and said to Li Hanxiang: "So, this year's Oscar, Audrey Hepburn has no chance?"

Li Hanxiang shook his head and said: "I can't say that. Generally, the judges have already got the approval of the Oscar nomination. However, Audrey's role in "My Sassy Girl" is different from her previous role as Princess Anne in "Roman Holiday". Similarly, in "The Godfather", her appearances are limited after all, and I personally think that she has little hope of winning the award."

As a professional, Li Hanxiang is optimistic about Katharine Hepburn. He thinks that Katharine Hepburn's role as Christina Drayton in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" is really commendable, especially when the heroine knows her son-in-law is Her performance is even more impeccable, starting with a black man.

"Then what about the best foreign language film award? What do you think is the chance of winning "Peerless Twins" with my participation?" Ni Kuang seemed disappointed by Li Hanxiang's answer, so he asked another question.

Li Hanxiang nodded and said: "Well, the best foreign language film depends on the overall performance. I watched this "Peerless Twins", and it is a very competitive film! This film has all aspects from director, actor, photography, There are eye-catching things in terms of props and special effects. Director Hu Jinquan’s strength is unquestionable! I’m just worried about the scriptwriting...whether Westerners will accept this purely oriental and purely Hong Kong theme. However, I I also watched the other 4 foreign language films that were nominated. Except for the Czechoslovakian "The Train under Close Surveillance", the other 3 films will definitely not pose a threat to "Peerless Twins", so "Peerless Twins" The hope of winning the Oscar for foreign language film is much higher than that of Audrey."

"Old Li, can you save face? Why are the directors, actors, photography, props and special effects all good, but my screenwriter is the problematic link? Well, I have convinced you, so you can predict Well, Tang Xiao and the three companies under the Tang Dynasty, how many statuettes can they get this time?" Ni Kuang was embarrassed by the blunt Li Hanxiang.

Li Hanxiang snapped his fingers seriously and said: "My prediction may be relatively conservative. I think Marlon Brando, one of Tang Xiao's screenwriters, Tang Xiao's original songs and one or two of other projects, oh, yes, in the As for Best Supporting Actor, George Kennedy's performance in a non-sarcasm movie "Luke the Iron Hand" by Tang Dynasty Warner is very distinctive. Maybe he is a dark horse. So, I think this time the Oscar can be won 5-6 awards."

Huang Zhan is the youngest one, and he looks much more optimistic: "Old Li, I think you are a little too pessimistic. I think this time you can win at least 8 awards, even if it is 10, it is not surprising."

Ni Kuang shook his head and said, "Okay, we've been predicting for 8 days, fortunately, the answer will be announced soon, so we don't have to guess here. Earlier today, I talked to that guy Tang Xiao Overseas phone call, I asked him this question, and he answered me like this—"

"What did he say?" Huang Zhan asked anxiously when he saw Ni Kuang playing tricks.

"Tang laughed at that guy and said that he is grateful to the 500 million people in Hong Kong and Macau for their support and encouragement. He and his company will continue to dedicate more and better products to everyone. For this Oscar, he advises everyone to Keep a normal mind. He said that the shortlisted films and the shortlisted film creators are worthy of our respect. They all have their own unique things. No matter who wins the award, we must congratulate him, and our filmmakers should also learn from them.

He also said that Tang Xiao and Tang Chao Company's films have been recognized and affirmed by the audience. He thinks this is more important than any award, which makes him happier than any award.He asked me to send a message to the audience. He said that no matter how many awards they won or not, he and his company should be grateful to the audience who have silently supported them. He and his company will continue to produce movies that everyone loves.He said he was eternally grateful to the lovely audience. "

Li Hanxiang sighed and said, "How well said, is this the so-called 'kingly demeanor'? I admit that I admire this person more and more."

Ni Kuang said with a smile, "It's time. After the 3-minute commercial, we will connect with Hollywood, USA. First, we will present the Oscar red carpet show to the audience friends. At that time, there will be a lot of stars..."
