King of Hollywood

Chapter Fifty-fifth Long-cherished wish fulfilled

"This should be the second time I have won this award. The scenes at that time are still vivid in my memory, which is exciting and memorable." Adrian said, looking at the golden man in his hand, expressing emotion Appearance "It is a pity that Winston was unable to come to the scene due to physical reasons. On behalf of him, I would like to thank the Film Academy for awarding this trophy to me and him. Of course, I also want to thank Winston. He wrote a very bāng ǎo said, I would also like to thank all my partners, thank you!"

He didn't say much. He bowed gracefully and then walked down. His handsome appearance won a lot of applause. Most people knew that he would go up again tonight.

Sure enough, after only two awards, Adrian returned to this stage again. He shared it with Winston Glum before, and now he shares it with Arthur Schmidt. When it comes to the Best Editing Award, just relying on the fictitious editing technique of putting Forrest Gump in history is enough to win this award.

"...This is a great encouragement, and I believe I can do better in the future!" Schmidt delivered the award speech, after all, his editing is the first achievement of the award.

"Congratulations, Ed, it looks like you're going to break the record." After returning to his seat, Hanks, who was sitting in front of Adrian, said this after hugging him and congratulating him.

At first Adrian thought that Hanks was saying that he would become the youngest best director winner, but after thinking about it, even if he wanted to say it, it shouldn't be now. After thinking about it carefully, he immediately understood the other party's intention mean.

"Thank you. If you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I won't realize it until the awards ceremony is over." Adrian shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, but the excitement in his expression was still obvious.

One for Best Adapted Screenplay, one for Best Editing, and another for Best Director, if nothing else, so he will win three Golden Men tonight, which will be the first time in Oscar history. There are quite a few nominations for the same person in the same Oscar, but the most they can get is two, such as Kevin Costner four years ago, or Mel Gibson next year—of course, Because of the appearance of Adrian, the latter is no longer possible.

But whether it is Kevin Costner or Mel Gibson, except for the best director, they all get the best film, and the best film is awarded to the film company in a sense. The seven major film companies There are many gold medalists for the best movies in the honor room. So strictly speaking, they can only be counted as taking one and a half, and the ownership of Adrian's three ǎo golden men are all owned by him, and it is almost certain that "Forrest Gump" will win the best movie. , so it counts as three and a half seats, not to mention Costner, even Cameron in the future can only hold a candle to it.

As for whether the next two awards will be affected by these two gold medalists—after all, the film academy also likes to play balance, but they play it well—Adrian didn't care too much. Generally speaking, unless there are very special circumstances, the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture will be awarded to the same film, which is why Costner lost the best actor, and the Academy of Film will not award the best actor Multiple awards are awarded to the same individual.

Best Changed Screenplay and Best Editing don't get as much weight as Best Actor, and Most Fake Original Screenplay is the screenwriting category that gets the most attention. Coupled with Adrian's accumulated qualifications over the past few years, and "Forrest Gump" will be an unsurpassable benchmark for American mainstream value movies in the next ten years. Those old men in the film academy are conservative but not fools. These factors will be taken into account by them.

After a period of singing and dancing, this year's Oscar Awards Ceremony is finally about to usher in its final climax.

"I know many people have been waiting impatiently. Although I really want you to wait a little longer, but out of consideration for my own safety, I still hurry up." Letterman standing on the stage sighed loudly, as if He regretted that he had to compromise, even though he knew that his sighing appearance was faked, the audience still laughed out loud.

"Okay, let's invite the winner of the last year's Best Actor to come on stage," Letterman said and made a tidy up, and then he immediately added: "I have to admit that the film school has arranged it very well. If Let the last best actor winner present this best actor, oh my god."

After sighing, he quickly slid down, causing laughter again.

"Well, I just want to say that it's a great honor to be the guest of the best female lead." Hanks, who passed Letterman with the envelope, shrugged and said after standing in front of the microphone.

He didn't say anything more, and then introduced the nomination list. Jessica Lange, Susan Sarandon, Winona Ryder and others appeared on the screen in turn. In the end, the trophy that countless female actors dreamed of was won by the third King Kong girl, Jessica Lange.

Adrian, who was clapping in the audience, couldn't help but sighed softly in his heart. He originally expected to see some changes, such as Susan Sarandon winning the best female lead. Among the five candidates, Winona's age is destined to have the second-to-last chance of winning; and Jodie Foster has won two Oscars. Unless there are special circumstances, she will only be nominated in this life and will not win again ;As for Miranda Richardson, although he has appeared in many roles, this time he is not as good as the other two, and it is the first time he has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Female Lead, so in fact the main competition for this award is in Lange and Sarandon.

Sarandon has been nominated several times, and each time he came back empty-handed. With his accumulated qualifications and Lange's winning Best Supporting Female Actor once, there is a high probability that he will win the Best Female Leading Role this year.

It's a pity that "The Ultimate Witness" is not the type that the film academy likes. Although in the actor award, the judges have little influence on the movie's perception, it is not without it after all. Moreover, Lange's huā bottle was too famous at the beginning, but now it has become an advantage-think about it, a huā bottle has finally been recognized by the Film Academy through hard work, this gimmick should be quite good. Adding up these various factors, the public relations on both sides are also comparable, and luck becomes the decisive factor.

Adrian shook his head imperceptibly again, put away his thoughts and looked at "ǎofù People", just in time to see Dennis comforting Winona. I don't know if the organizer did it on purpose or what happened. After the grid came down and left, the camera inadvertently swept across the other nominees. Although it was only a few seconds between Dennis and Winona, it was enough for people to see clearly. I wonder if Depp will be in the auditorium. What do you think.

"Are you ready, Tommy?" Shrugging his shoulders and not thinking about it, Adrian asked with a smile as he looked at Hanks who came down after the best female lead was awarded.

"What about you?" Hanks didn't answer directly but asked back with a smile, obviously avoiding the question.

Adrian shrugged his shoulders, understanding his worry about gains and losses, and then looked up the stage. Holly Hunter, who was the best actor award presenter and the last best female lead winner, had already walked up.

"I believe everyone has been looking forward to this for a long time. Every nominated candidate has shown superb acting skills in the movie. Unfortunately, only one can get the trophy. So who is lucky enough to get it?" Huo Lee Hunt said with a smile.

Looking at the candidates who appeared on the big screen as the names were read out, the corners of Adrian's mouth curled up slightly. He was not as calm and nervous as Hanks, and he was very relaxed now. Because, because of him, there is no "Shawshank Redemption", no "Pulp Talk", no "Four Weddings and a Funeral" at this year's Oscars, and the last three most important nominations--Best Actor, best director, and best movie are already lumped together compared to memory.

For example, among the nominations for Best Actor, Morgan Freeman and John Travolta were missing, and two very ordinary actors were added. In Adrian's view, these two actors are definitely not as good as Morgan Freeman and John Travolta, and it is even more impossible to pose a threat to Hanks.

"Okay, let me see..." Hunter on the stage had already opened the envelope, and the five candidates all held their breath, and Hanks, who was sitting in front of Adrian, was breathing even more heavily. Little, his wife immediately grabbed his hand.

"My God!" Hunter exclaimed. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the note in her hand and then at the people in the hall. She didn't know whether she was trying to entertain everyone or was really surprised.

"This is really unimaginable...I really didn't expect it...God, this is so..." She said incoherently, "Well, let me announce that the winner of Best Actor is, " Forrest Gump, Tom Hanks!"

The last sentence was almost roared out, and then, the audience was silent for two seconds, and the applause resounded violently throughout the hall, as if it was about to lift the ceiling. When Hanks heard his name, he froze for a moment, then opened his eyes wide, and finally stood up in a daze.

"Is it me?" He asked his wife next to him.

"Yes, it's you, my dear, you heard me right, you won the Best Actor again and again!" Rita Wilson replied to her husband excitedly, stretching out her hands to hug him tightly and wěn wěn his cheek.

"Congratulations, Tommy, you have won the Best Actor again." Adrian stepped in at the right time, and all the crew members had already stood up under his signal, while the background music of "Forrest Gump" Applause.

"Thank you, Ed, thank you." Hanks, who finally came back to his senses, responded to his wife, and then gave Adrian a bear hug, his face full of excitement. His hands were trembling all the time, so it's not surprising to think about it. You must know that he has won the Best Actor award again and again. This kind of honor is not something that just anyone can get.

"Go up, don't make everyone wait." Adrian patted him and reminded him.

Hanks, who finally calmed down, adjusted his clothes immediately, and walked onto the stage amidst the fading applause. After receiving the trophy from Holly Hunter, he rubbed it with mixed feelings before opening. Mouth: "Frankly speaking, I really didn't expect to be able to win this award again. Although I had thought that I might stand here again when the best female lead was awarded to Jessica before, but it is not so after all. Definitely. Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, the dream will come true, until now I still have doubts, afraid of suddenly hearing Rita’s voice calling me to bed.”

The roar of laughter suddenly sounded.

"Fortunately, just now Rita has proved with her actions that this is definitely not my dream, thank you, Rita, thank you." Hanks, who had completely adjusted his mentality, joked, "I want to thank my wife, she Supported me throughout, and I would like to thank Adrian for giving me two chances..."

Hearing this, Adrian couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Although Hanks looks a bit simple and honest, he looks like an honest man, and the role of Forrest Gump added a lot of points to him, thus becoming an American. Representative, but it does not mean that he is really honest and honest, such as promoting Adrian without any trace at this moment.

Regardless of the industry, those who can stand in high positions are thoughtful people. Adrian said this in his heart while applauding, and then asked with a smile after Hanks came back: "How does it feel to break the record, Tommy?"

"You'll know soon." Hanks still didn't answer directly.

There are only two awards left, best director and best film, and the awards ceremony has reached the last minute.

"I all know the importance of a director to a movie. Many scripts that were not so good at first can exude a different brilliance in the hands of the right person. Today's five nominees are all like this..." David Letterman took this opportunity to liven up the atmosphere again.

Adrian in the audience also sat up straight immediately. Although he was very clear that he had done his best and some things should not change much, he still felt a little nervous and excited. After all, he was Oscar's best. director.

Soon, the award presenters appeared on the stage, and the familiar characters immediately made most people turn their attention to the "Forrest Gump" crew, because it was Jonathan Demme who stood on it and introduced the list of nominations !

Actually let Jonathan be the guest of honor, do you dare to make it more obvious? Adrian smiled and shook his head in his heart. Of course, he also knows that when the organizer invites who will be the guest, they will not know who will win the award, but this does not stop everyone from thinking about it. Besides, since the release of "Forrest Gump", Adrian has won the award for the best director. The voice is very loud.

"...Robert Redford, Lies Behind the Scenes; Woody Allen, Bullets Over Broadway; Adrian Cowell, Forrest Gump." With Demme's voice, the big screen The image of the candidate is listed again.

This time, instead of listing them one by one like the previous few times, they are divided into four pieces, and one of them is placed in the middle. This is a very interesting setting, because it is Adrian who is placed in the middle.

The four candidates on the screen remained calm except for Woody Allen, at least on the surface. As for Woody Allen, he did not come to the Oscar scene, so the organizers randomly used a picture instead of thing. Woody Allen is notorious for never being at the Oscars, even when he won best director he let someone else lead him because he thought any competition about art was boring - what an idea Egg hurts.

But even if he changes his mind now, it's not good to appear in the sacred auditorium. Although two years have passed since the scandal with his daughter-in-law, some newspapers still want to dig out some news from it.

"Now let's see who can win the best director." Jonathan Demme said as he opened the envelope, browsed the names on it, and raised his eyebrows: "There is no suspense, "Forrest Gump ", Adrian Cowell!"

The other three on the screen suddenly showed disappointed looks. Needless to say, Radford has been nominated several times since he turned from an actor to a director, but he never got one; Jeslowski was slightly better. He is a European director after all, and he doesn't take Oscar so seriously. The most relaxed one is Neil Harris. He came to sit with him, so even if there is disappointment, it will pass quickly. up.

Adrian let out a long breath and stood up with a smile in the applause. Although he finally won the award that all directors dream of, the joy in his heart is also very limited. After all, this is the trajectory of "history". It's just a change of person.

But he didn't take it seriously, after all, his goal was not the best director, so he wasn't like Hanks or Kirsten, who had to be excited for a long time to recover.

"Congratulations, Ed."

"Congratulations."

"Great, you finally got it."

After hugging familiar people one by one, Adrian, who said "thank you", finally stepped onto the stage.

"I got my long-cherished wish." Dai Mi took the golden man into his hands.

"Fulfilled long-cherished wish." Adrian took it with a smile, then raised his head and waved to the audience.

After the laughter and applause gradually died down, he stroked the golden man's expression of emotion—at this time, Adrian's acting skills would not be much worse than those of the film kings.

"Two years ago, when I was nominated for best director for the first time, the feeling of joy was like getting a cup of hot cocoa when I was going forward in the snow, and when I lost, it was like drinking half of the hot cocoa and being knocked over. .So I told myself that I would definitely come back again—of course, this return is different from the t-800’s return.”

This sentence immediately caused laughter.

"Fortunately, my hard work was not in vain. Today I finally got the judges and everyone's approval. I finally didn't let this cup of hot cocoa be knocked down again. At this moment, I just want to say that I will do better. Although "A "The Story of Gan Zheng" is an excellent movie, but I will do better, as long as I keep working hard and don't stop, I will definitely do better!"
