Made in Hollywood

Chapter 793: What is academic school?

"Wow, Duke is best director!"

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Duke is the most popular director. When the results of the best director were announced, the Internet suddenly boiled over, and the group dubbed "Duke blows" by many people began to leave messages everywhere.

"This is the second best director statuette. Duke has surpassed James Cameron!"

"In terms of total box office, Duke has already left James Cameron far behind."

"Duke is the number one director in Hollywood."

"Great Duke, great director Rosenberg, he doesn't need any awards at all, his greatness has long been recognized by movie fans all over the world!"

"Unfortunately, the box office of a single movie is still not as good as that of James Cameron..."

Seeing this sentence, Wang Ziming couldn't help sighing. As a director worth tens of billions of dollars, it can be said that he thinks Duke's biggest regret is that the box office of a single film cannot occupy the first place.

When will Duke be able to surpass James Cameron's "Titanic" and "Avatar" at the box office?

This is something that Wang Ziming is very interested in.

Thinking of this, he quickly switched back to the live broadcast. After all, Duke's acceptance speech hadn't been said yet.

On the stage of the Kodak Theater, Duke had already received the best director statuette from Catherine Bigelow, hugged her and Hilary Swank, and stood in front of the microphone.

His public relations manager, Panny Kelly, had prepared his acceptance speech a long time ago. There was nothing surprising about this acceptance speech. In the words of the other party, the Oscar stage should also pay attention to creating an image. Appropriate for this occasion.

Duke thinks so too.

"Thanks to everyone! It was such a wonderful moment! I will never forget it in my life!"

Looking at the statuette in his hand, Duke looked very excited. In fact, my mind is full of memories of the acceptance speech I just watched last night, "Thank you for the affirmation from the academy. I think it is really incredible to use a sci-fi film to win the best director statuette."

This little joke immediately caused a burst of laughter in the Kodak Theater.

"I have so many people to thank, they have always been present in every important moment of my life."

Concentrating his expression, Duke said seriously, "Tina Fey. Thank you for helping me handle every job; Nancy Josephson and Penny Kelly, you are the best; Charles Rowe Wen and Robin Grande, without you, every film would not be successful; Zack Snyder, Hannah Serena, Anna Prinz, Joss Williams, Jimmy Carter and John Schwartzman, everyone on my team, you are the best work mates in the whole world...”

After estimating the time, Duke sped up his speech a little. "I would also like to thank my mother, Leah Rosenberg, you are the best mother in the whole world! And my girlfriend, she worked unimaginably hard for this film, you are the best actor !"

"Thank you to everyone who loves me. Thank you!"

The audience once again burst into warm applause. Duke left the stage and walked towards the backstage. He had just entered the backstage. Scarlett Johansson, who was waiting here, hugged him tightly.

The two didn't say anything, but everything was exchanged enough in the hug.

The next step is the routine post-winning interview. Duke prepared a lot of stereotypes.

The awards are still going on, and there is only one last award left in this year's Oscars - Best Picture!

"Duke Rosenberg won the prize not because of how outstanding his works are, but because the academy rewarded him for his accumulated achievements over the years..."

Follow Wang Ziming on the webcast. I heard the comment from the expert named Zhang Yibai again, "Compared to other nominated directors, his qualifications and commercial achievements are all outstanding. Hollywood is a commercial circle after all, and business can sometimes determine many things. Therefore, he won the best award. Director, it doesn't mean that "Gravity" will win the best picture, I think "The Social Network" still has hope..."

On the stage of the Kodak Theater, Steven Spielberg was already standing on it, opening the envelope, "The best picture winner is "The King's Speech"!"

Seeing Harvey Weinstein on the Oscar stage again, people in the Kodak Theater suddenly had a feeling that the four most important cakes were divided equally by the two crews...

After the interview, Duke did not leave the backstage, and soon saw Harvey Weinstein walking in. The two did not communicate, but showed a tacit smile.

They are also the big winners tonight and have achieved their goals.

On the Internet across the Pacific, many people could not accept that "The King's Speech" won the best picture in the end. In the eyes of most people, this film is too mediocre and lacks enough highlights.

As a guest of the live broadcast, Zhang Yibai started talking again, but compared to the unreliable remarks before, Wang Ziming thinks that what he said is still reasonable.

"Who is David Fincher? At the age of 49, he became the chief cinematographer of independent films at the age of 17, and then worked in the industrial light and magic, advertising industry, and MTV industry in the technology industry for many years. If you count his real Hollywood The mainstream system education is only three years from Industrial Light and Magic, and now he is one of the top directors in Hollywood. But the fact that he has not been favored by the Oscars so far is actually embarrassing for both of them.”

"David Fincher is not an alternative director like David Lynch, he is not a typical independent film director, he is not a director with B-level fun, and he is not the kind of director who expresses his own will. David Fincher has never deviated from the mainstream of Hollywood, but he is still unclassifiable among mainstream directors. He makes star-studded genre films and is not so commercial; he takes the technical route and is not as leading as James Mellon. He is a new trend, but he is still very old-fashioned; he is skilled, but not so conventional; he is a craftsman, but he is not as active as Ron Howard. His movies are quite recognizable, and he can be called an 'author' , Speaking of the author, he is not a real author like Old Woody."

"There is nothing to say about losing to Duke Rosenberg for best director. After all, the other party's prestige, fame and achievements are there, but losing to "The King's Speech" for best picture, then I have to mention one point, the powerful public relations behind the best film!"

"Speaking of this, I have to mention the famous—or notorious Harvey Weinstein. This movie bigwig is best at combining "Shakespeare in Love" and "No Country for Old Men" completely A movie without an Oscar looks like the best picture, and Gwyneth Paltrow is the worst acting actress in history."

"It's no surprise that David Fincher chose to film Zuckerberg's story. His previous films, without exception, focused on rebels and outsiders. He talked about killers and anarchists, how Hiding in filthy little houses and basements, turning upside down the world that shut them out. Zuckerberg, John from The Seven, Tyler from Fight Club are all equally crazy men And boys, with different faces."

"He's a gloomy master of mischief, but that's so typical of the times we live in. Aside from Sony's PR disconnect, is it something that scares the Academy judges? We don't know. Best wishes to Fincher and his The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Good luck next year."

This one obviously has a good impression of David Fincher.

Wang Ziming was also very dissatisfied and even angry that the best picture winner was "The King's Speech". more qualified.

However, after all, he knew a little about Hollywood, so he quickly calmed down, went to related websites, and randomly typed out a comment about Oscar.

"Oscar's position is weird. It wants ratings and keeps a distance from business. It thinks about art but dare not go too far. It can only be vague. They are called academics, but what are academics? Who knows, maybe they I can’t explain it myself. I only know that they are equally kitsch, but in a more conservative way.”

"Last year, if the finale award was awarded to "Avatar", it would definitely be kitsch, but wouldn't it be kitsch if it wasn't awarded? "The Hurt Locker" is also kitsch. Because no one believes that Oscar is pure, and its way itself is flattering, It's vulgar, no matter how many archways are erected, it's useless. This year is the same, the king ascends the throne and sits in a stable position. At the other end, the daydream wakes up and becomes a white dream. No matter how frantic "Gravity" is, it can't go up Still can't make it up."

"The Internet is dispelling the authoritative color of the Oscars. This traditional awards ceremony is becoming more and more embarrassing. In an era when everyone is a film critic, it is destined to be unable to accommodate the most valuable movies of this era. It is only performed by Americans to the world. The show. Such a show cannot be refined, so don’t be angry about it, let alone be superstitious.”

As the live broadcast of the Oscars gradually appeared on the opposite network, each awards ceremony always sparked a lot of discussions, but one thing is indeed like what Wang Ziming said, this country has a deeper understanding of Oscars, and you can also watch it. There are many things behind the Oscars, and there are fewer and fewer so-called Olympic films specially produced as before.

In the Kodak Theater, the annual event that represents the most glamorous side of Hollywood has come to an end, but everything about the Oscars is far from over. Many people have left the Hollywood area and flocked to Beverly Hills. The annual Oscar night party , is also an essential event. (to be continued ~^~)
