Plagiarism - [-] Grand Prize Competition

Mario Puzo sat in the front row with the "Godfather" crew. Compared with the other members of "The Godfather", he looked more nervous.Although he has nothing to do with the "original work", his first screenwriting was favored by the Oscar judges, who gave him a valuable "nomination".He had secretly watched several other nominated screenwriters, and he found that he was still threatened by "In the Heat of the Night" and "Romeo and Juliet."However, the script of "The Godfather" adapted by Mr. Tang Xiao's skillful hand already has the air of a "king".

He also heard people say that the director of "Romeo and Juliet" personally admitted that "Romeo and Juliet" is an excellent movie, but compared with "The Godfather", there are still some gaps.And another popular "Hot Night" can be described as "Waterloo" tonight. So far, they have only won two awards, and they are all insignificant awards.And the screenwriter is the foundation of a play, can they turn around here?

After Joseph L. Mankiewicz, a famous American screenwriter who won an Oscar for "The Beauty of the Comet", introduced the nominated films, he opened the envelope and read aloud: "The best winner of the 40th Academy Awards Best screenplay adaptation - Mario Puzo's The Godfather!"

Mario Puzo stood up excitedly, after he hugged "The Godfather" director Francis Ford Coppola, he went on stage and hugged Joseph L. Mankiewicz, and took the statuette, he spoke to the microphone He said emotionally: "Oh, maybe you don't know, just a year ago, I was still living in Hell's Kitchen in New York, and I was still worrying about the livelihood of myself and my whole family. I even doubted whether I was worth living in." Live in this world. Oh, so I would like to thank Mr. Tan Xiaozhong, who personally went to my house last year and persuaded me to join the Tang Dynasty. And now, buying cakes, I am actually standing on the highest podium of the Oscars, It's unbelievable..."

After Mario Puzo went down, the "Original Screenplay" award was about to be presented again. Tan Jiabao's "The Graduate" finally won the Oscar for best performance, beating "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" and "Bonnie and Clyde". Best "Original Screenplay" Award.

Since Tan Jiabao was not present, Cantona stood up, and he felt that it was a matter of course for him to accept the award.But he immediately found that Evans beside him also stood up.

"Oh, Evans, you should know that Mr. Tang Xiao belongs to our Tang Dynasty company and is our chairman, so we should accept this award." Cantona said to his friend with a smile.For this kind of honor, he will not give up easily, even if it is a friend.

Evans shrugged his shoulders, and he didn't give in at all: "Oh, dear Cantona, you are wrong, "The Graduate" is a work of our Paramount, which is well known, so it should be the one who received the award on stage. Ramon!"

"Oh, your explanation doesn't make sense..."

"Haha, you two old guys just use rock-paper-scissors, this is the only way now." Darryl Zanuck laughed loudly, he was very satisfied with his company's results, so he wanted to tease him opponent.

"Good idea! Cantona, don't keep people waiting. Bob Hope is getting impatient." Evans raised his fist.Cantona looked around, so he also raised his fist.

So, for an award, the presidents of two big companies openly played this kind of schoolchildren's game in front of the reporter's camera. In the end, Evans' "scissors" cut off Cantona's "cloth" .Evans laughed, patted Cantona on the shoulder, and strode happily to the podium, while Cantona sat down in frustration.

"Congratulations! 'Mr. Tang'! You have finally won an award that belongs to you. Hee hee, why don't you write the screenplay for "The Godfather"? Otherwise, you can also win two prizes like Audrey Hepburn A grand prize. However, I ask you to give me that 'Oscar Gold Necklace'!"

In fact, in addition to a statuette, the Oscar reward also has an "Oscar Gold Necklace".Academy Award winners can request that a person's name be engraved on this necklace.Before, Tan Jiabao wrote the name "Chen Xiaofang" without hesitation.

As he achieved more and more, he missed that person far away more and more, and he really wanted to share his achievements and joy with that person.However, he knew that he could only keep that yearning in his heart.Chen Xiaofang was his first girlfriend in this life, so he wrote her name without hesitation.

What he didn't know was that, accompanied by her brother, Chen Xiaofang finally entered that man's attic.There is a satellite TV in his attic, and he can watch the "Oscar Awards Ceremony" related to Tan Jiabao.And now, Chen Xiaofang is watching Tan Jiabao's company win awards one after another on TV with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Qingxia, I can't give you that necklace. However, I will give you the statuette! I think only a statuette is worthy of my Qingxia, so I have asked someone to engrave it The word 'Brigitte Lin'!" Tan Jiabao didn't expect that Brigitte Lin would ask for that necklace, and in desperation, he had no choice but to donate the statuette.

"Really? Are you really going to give me the statuette?" Lin Qingxia was overjoyed, and she leaned her head in Tan Jiabao's arms.Only now did she truly know how important she was to this boyfriend, and he actually gave her the first gold cup in his life.

Tan Jiabao stroked her hair tenderly, sighing in his heart.

After the screenwriter awards are over, the Academy Awards are coming to an end, but they have also entered the climax, because the two most important awards of "Best Director" and "Best Picture" will be awarded soon.

Best Director nominees include Arthur Penn's "Bonnie and Clyde," Norman Jewison's "In the Heat of the Night," Stanley Kramer's "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner." , Mike Nichols' The Graduate and Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather.

At the Golden Globes, Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather" beat the crowd, winning two awards for best director and best picture.So, although this is the first film of the young Francis Ford Coppola, based on the good momentum of "The Godfather", he feels that this award should also belong to him.

Evans, who had just received the award, returned to his seat.He has high hopes for "The Graduate," and he thinks the film, which they invested $500 million in, will be a hit.However, this is obviously going to be strongly blocked by "The Godfather".

"Hey, man. I think our Mike Nichols is likely to get his wish this time, making up for the regrets of last year's "Spiritual Sex", and your Coppola is too young, he still needs experience, What do you think?" Perhaps a little nervously, Evans began talking to Cantona without words.

Cantona shrugged: "Maybe. "The Godfather" has already won several awards, maybe it's time to take a break. But don't forget, we also have Arthur Penn's "Bonnie and Clyde." " was also shortlisted, and "Bonnie and Clyde", as the opening work of the pop culture "New Hollywood Movie", has been praised by the film industry since its release, huh, huh, our "Godfather" and "Bonnie and Clyde" Germany is already double insurance. So old man, you have to be mentally prepared."

Evans gave Cantona a hard look, then said softly: "Okay, we'll see!"

David Lien, who has won two Oscars and received multiple Oscar nominations, appeared on stage.Already 60 years old, David Lian is still personable. After introducing the five nominated films, he opened the envelope.

He solemnly read: "The one who won the Best Director Award at the 40th Academy Awards is - Mike Nichols, the director of "The Graduate"!"

Francis Ford Coppola's smile froze, and Cantona also showed disappointment, but Evans said triumphantly: "Old man, you lost again, hehe, you have won so many prizes, These two most important awards should also be enjoyed by us Paramount, haha..."

"Old guy, don't be too proud!" Cantona said angrily.

Mike Nichols is also a young director in his 30s. On the stage, he held the Golden Man trophy and said excitedly: "Thanks to the Academy of Film and Arts for awarding me such an important award, and thanks to Palla Meng, thank President Evans, and the crew of "The Graduate". Also, like many others, I also want to thank Mr. Tang Xiao. Hehe, besides the Academy of Film and Arts, Tang is the most thanked person today. I laughed at Mr. Tang. In fact, it was Mr. Tang who asked me to shoot this "Graduate" by name. I thank him for giving me such a good opportunity to get the first award in my life. .”

Now comes the final hour when the biggest award will be handed out - the Academy Award for Best Picture.Francis Ford Coppola and Cantona have already shown a lack of confidence because the best director wins the best picture in many cases, but Evans is high-spirited, and he kindly comforted Cantona: "Old man, Don't worry, that boy Tang Xi is capable, you will have even greater opportunities next year!"

The award was presented by Chaplin on the stage. The aged Chaplin tore open the envelope and read solemnly: "The winner of the 40th Academy Award for Best Picture is - "The Godfather"!"

Cantona, Eisner, Diller and the crew of The Godfather, as well as the crew of My Sassy Girl, Bonnie and Clyde, Luke the Iron Hand and The Big Brothers all stood and cheered .

Today, Tang Dynasty Entertainment Group won a total of 9 Oscars and is the biggest winner tonight.And the awards they won were all the most important ones, no wonder they cheered uncontrollably.
