The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 273 Sweeping Oscar

"Wait for a while, I want to give Stallone one last chance." Xu Guanwu shook his head and said seriously.

Richard nodded in understanding. It is not easy to cultivate a star, and no one would be willing to destroy it unless necessary.But whether he can rise from the trough again depends on the will of that person.

After the talk show, the awards will be given out, first of all, some technical awards, such as Best Song Soundtrack/Adapted Soundtrack Award, Best Original Soundtrack Award, Best Original Song Award, Best Editing Award, Best Sound Effect Award etc……

The Best Score/Adapted Score Award was competed by three films, "Children in Troubled Times", "Pretty Woman" and "Break Through the Dark Valley", and finally "Children in Troubled Times" won the award.

The best original soundtrack award was contested by several films such as "Jaws", "Desperate", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", and "The Black Lion".

In the end, the film "Jaws" successfully won this award. Just three days ago at the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, it also successfully won the Best Soundtrack Award, which is well deserved.

For the best original song award, five films including "Nashville", "Pretty Woman", "Mahogany", "Dreams of the End of the World" and "Gently Brushing Over" participated in the competition, and finally a piece of "Nashville" won the award. successfully won this award.

The film "Nashville" also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song three days ago, which is also a double blessing.

Keith Carradine, who won this award, is a well-known film composer in Hollywood. He has contributed to the soundtrack of "Law and Order", "Bloodthirsty Forensic", "Criminal Minds", "Django Unchained" and other TV movies.

The Best Editing Award was contested by five works: Jaws, Hot Afternoon, Iron King, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and 72 Hours of Black Hawk.

In the end, it was successfully won by "Jaws". So far, "Jaws" has won two awards and has gained a lot.As a producer, Richard Zanjuk is also quite honored. He kept hugging the winners and got a lot of pages.

Seeing his burning appearance, Xu Guanwu wanted to kick him secretly while no one was paying attention.

Then the Best Sound Effect Award was still won by "Jaws" and won three consecutive championships.It fought its way out of the four films "Bite the Bullet", "Hindenburg", "Pretty Woman", and "The Black Lion", and successfully won this trophy.

At the beginning of the awards ceremony, it won three technical awards in a row. The momentum of "Jaws" is simply frightening.

However, the following three awards for Best Costume Design, Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography were all without "Jaws" wreaking havoc.

The film "Children in Troubled Times" has shown its potential to win awards. It has successively won three awards for best costume design, best art direction, and best photography, showing that it is not inferior to "Jaws". Award-winning strength.

This film describes how a rogue poor boy, a typical opportunist, climbed into the upper class, became a lord and got a huge fortune in the eighteenth century, and then his reputation was ruined.

Americans seem to like watching the aristocratic secrets of their former suzerain country, Britain, so they are also very fond of movies with this theme.Although the film did not have much success at the box office, it clearly met the critical taste of the judges.

"Children in Troubled Times" won four awards, and the technical awards came to an end, followed by Best Animated Short Film, Best Live Action Short Film, Best Documentary Short Film, Best Documentary Feature Film, and Best Foreign Language Film, etc. Several awards.

These awards have nothing to do with "Jaws" or "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", so Xu Guanwu didn't care too much.

The only time when it came to the best foreign language film, there was a Japanese film shortlisted, which immediately caught Xu Guanwu's attention.The Japanese shortlisted film is called "Wangxiang", which tells the story of the Meiji period. In order to accumulate funds for the development of capitalism, the Japanese government once sold young women overseas as a means of obtaining foreign exchange.And these women couldn't help but endured the pain of life, and also suffered an indelible blow to their hearts.

This is actually a socialist film that exposes the atrocities of the Japanese Communist Party and the ugliness of capitalism.

"Little Japan on a dog day." Xu Guanwu couldn't help cursing after reading the story introduction of "Wangxiang".

However, "Wangxiang" still did not win the best foreign language film award, and was picked up by "Dersu Uzala" directed by Akira Kurosawa, who is also from Japan.

It is worth mentioning that "Dersu Uzzara" is the first work of Akira Kurosawa after the low tide of art. It was funded and sponsored by the Soviet Union and shot on the spot in Siberia.

Akira Kurosawa, a filmmaker with a very high status in Japan, is honored as Emperor Kurosawa. He was once famous all over the world for "Zi Sanshirō", "Rashomon" and "Seven Samurai", and he is also in the minds of many Hollywood directors. Film masters such as Spielberg, George Lucas...

Xu Guanwu has also heard of director Akira Kurosawa, but he has never seen a film directed by him before.Looking at him standing on the podium to deliver his acceptance speech, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but wonder when Chinese directors can also stand there? !

Director Akira Kurosawa's award won applause from the audience. After the old man went down, the award ceremony continued, and the next award was the art award, and the shortlisted members of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" were all gearing up and waiting for the final award. sprint.

Firstly, the Best Adapted Screenplay Award was presented, which was contested by five films: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Children in Troubled Times", "Iron King Kong", "Scent of a Woman" and "Sunshine Boys".In the end, "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Nest" won the award with the momentum of riding a thousand horses, and defeated the three rivals "Children in Troubled Times", "Sunshine Boy" and "Scent of a Woman".

It is worth mentioning that although "Scent of a Woman" was a glorious failure, it was later adapted by Hollywood as "Scent of a Woman", and then helped Al Pacino win the Academy Award for Best Actor. script.

The subsequent best original screenplay award was won by "Hot Afternoon".

Next is the announcement of the Best Supporting Actor Award that everyone is looking forward to. Brad Dourif from the crew of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" has been nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award, so counting him is the most nervous.

The Best Supporting Actress Award was finally taken by Lee Grant of the crew of "Shampoo", while the Best Supporting Actor Award was picked by Jon Burns of the crew of "Sunshine Boys", which made Brad Dourif very happy. Disappointed.

Xu Guanwu watched him go from being smug just now to a deflated balloon, and couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

Before everyone could get out of their disappointment, the most crucial Best Actor and Best Actress Awards had already begun to be awarded.

Louise Fletcher and Jack Nicholson, the two leading actors of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", Qi Qi won the best actor award, making the "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" crew the biggest winner of the night.

When the result was announced, the audience burst into applause, especially Richard Zanjuk was even more excited, hugging Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher continuously, as if he was the winner.

Xu Guanwu was deeply disgusted by this blatant behavior of stealing the scene and fighting for the page.

The best actor and actress trophy "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was won in one pot, showing an extraordinary ability to win the award, which surprised the audience.

The next best director award was also a fierce battle, and the battle was extremely tragic.The five shortlisted films are all extraordinary, including "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Troubled Times", "Hot Afternoon", "Nashville" and "I Remember".

In the end, the award was taken away by "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".As long as the shortlisted awards seem to have been won, such a high hit rate is indeed amazing.

Then came the most important award, the best picture award.Five works participated in the competition, "Nashville", "Hot Afternoon", "Children of Troubled Times", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Jaws".

Xu Guanwu has been shortlisted for two films in a row, which means that the winning rate is [-]%, and there is a very high possibility of winning.

At this time, Xu Guanwu couldn't help becoming nervous. If he could win the award, it would probably be the first work invested by a Chinese to win the Golden Statue Award, but Xu Guanwu didn't have any confidence in whether he could win it.

After all, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Jaws" are of good quality, but other opponents are also not weak, especially "Nashville" and "Children of Troubled Times" have won several awards, and the most important point is that they are all from the United States. People who invest in filming don't need to be an outsider.Xu Guanwu wouldn't be surprised if the Academy Awards judges were partial.

"Win the award! Win the award!" Xu Guanwu closed his eyes and prayed softly. Now that everything that should be done has been done, the only thing that can be done is to pray for God's mercy.

"Ah Wu!" Seeing his seriousness, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help stretching out her hand, gently holding Xu Guanwu's hand, and sending him a little energy of love.

"No.40 Nominees for Best Picture at the [-]th Academy Awards include "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Jaws", "Nashville", "Children of Troubled Times", and "Hot Afternoon"..." the award presenter read aloud .

And as the title of each film was called out by her, although everyone already knew the shortlist, they still screamed and applauded, which made Xu Guanwu more nervous.

"The award-winning work is..." the award presenter shouted as he opened the envelope.

Xu Guanwu's heart was in his throat, and he stared at the stage without blinking, waiting for the award presenter to announce his name.

"Oops, I can't open it." The award presenter suddenly said after opening it for a long time.

"Damn it." Xu Guanwu couldn't help cursing out of his anxiety.

But at this time, the guest suddenly smiled, and suddenly took out the card in the envelope, "Dara! Take it out! Let me take a look, wow! Won the No.40 Eighth Academy Award Best Picture goes to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, congratulations!"

"I knew it!" Xu Guanwu jumped up from his seat in ecstasy, then hugged Zhao Yazhi next to him, and then hugged Michael Douglas, and then walked up to the awarding platform together.

"You have to be sure this time." Richard reminded in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake a second time." Xu Guanwu nodded, holding the trophy firmly, "Don't worry, everyone, it's the first time I won the Golden Statue Award, and I won't do it again I fell." Xu Guanwu said to the audience with a smile, "I am very happy to receive this award. I am really very happy. I would like to thank all the judges of the Academy Awards for not worrying about my identity as a foreigner. It shows that the Academy Awards is a very fair and fair award, and I am grateful for its efforts to encourage filmmakers, thank you!"

After Xu Guanwu delivered his award acceptance speech, he gave up the stage to Michael Douglas, "I am also very happy to win this trophy. I would like to thank one person here. He is Mr. Xu standing beside me. If there was no His investment, the film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" will not be successful. It is Mr. Xu who provided us with funds and completely trusted our ability, so that we can play our best. In addition, I would like to thank everyone on the crew Members, thank you for your hard work, there would be no "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" without you, thank you!"
