Chapter 2332

Before the official start of the Oscars, the hacker incident of Sony Columbia Pictures was undoubtedly the absolute focus of attention outside the industry, so the Sony classic involved also became a mess; And the issue of "equal pay for men and women" has become another public opinion vane of the college's public relations

But it is Amy Pascal and Scott Rudin who are really in the center of the storm. Their reputation and reputation have suffered a lot.

Among them, Amy's situation is a little more relaxed. Her position is closely related to the crisis management of Sony Columbia Pictures. The worst result is to change a job and not lose her job with her qualifications and ability; But Scott has to survive in Hollywood.

Of course, Scott's position in the industry will not bring him down. The real direct impact is that the Budapest Hotel, where he is the producer, has suffered a heavy blow, and the public relations of the college in the second stage is facing a severe impact - not the dirty water of direct negative news, but the critical sight of murmuring behind his back, although Scott has not really hurt anyone, But it's hard to let go of the double dealing.

It can be seen from the interview with reporters in the news center before the award ceremony that the "Budapest Hotel" has gradually fallen behind in the first lineup.

Originally, "Budapest Hotel" was the best choice to defeat "Youth". Whether it was the topic of World War II, or the sense of retro era, or the lightness presentation of fantastic ideas, all of which made this work have the advantage; But even if Scott Rudin has completely missed the second stage of public relations, Fox Searchlight is still facing a severe test.

So, how to choose Fox Searchlight? Strategically, it leans towards "Birdman", thus creating the rumors of the news center

Now the fight between "Birdman" and "Youth" is very fierce. It's hard to part with each other. The "pop drummer" is closely followed by "Budapest Hotel".

It is against this background that the importance of the technology department to the "Budapest Hotel" has become more and more prominent. If this work still wants to keep a little hope of competing for the best film, then the technology department, which is relatively weak under the influence of the college's public relations, is a place for strategists.

Judging from the current situation, the leading figures are worthy of being the leading figures. Even if the negative news of Scott Rudin is seriously delayed, it still maintains the overall strength.

After the best fashion design award, "Budapest Hotel" has won the best art director, the best makeup and modeling and the best original score.

Among them, the best art director award defeated "Star Trek" and "imitation game".

Best make-up and styling award, beat the "Fox Hunter" and "Galaxy guard".

Best Original Soundtrack award, beat the "star crossing", "Fox Hunter" and "theory of everything" three works.

Among them, the best original soundtrack is worth mentioning. Hans Zimmer of "Star Trek" was originally a big hit. It is very hopeful that he will taste the taste of the little golden man again 20 years after he ascended the top with "Lion King" in 1994; But in the end, the prize went to French composer Alexandre deplat——

This composer, who has won six nominations but has never been able to win the prize, won double nominations this year with "imitation game" and "Budapest Hotel", and finally won the prize for the first time.

So far, "Budapest Hotel" took the lead in the first half of the award ceremony with four little golden man trophies, swept away the associated effects of the hacker incident, and reappeared the hope of the best picture, which also added more mystery to the suspense of the second half of the award ceremony.

However, "Budapest Hotel" is not a movie that "gravity" controls the whole situation with powerful technology after all. It can not be swept in the technology department, which also gives other works opportunities.

"Interstellar crossing" won two golden men in a row, the best visual effect award, and defeated "X-Men: reversing the future", "Captain America 2", "Galaxy guard", "rising scarlet ball 2" and other works; Best sound editing award, beat the "Birdman", "hobbit 2", "indestructible", "American sniper" and other works.

"Pop drummer" also won the best sound effect award again. The shortlisted works such as "star crossing", "American sniper", "Birdman" and "indestructible" failed to create an effective threat. This work, which skillfully runs through the whole story with drum beat, leads the way to the end without any suspense.

When the first half of the award ceremony came to an end, "Budapest Hotel" took the lead with four trophies, while "Star Trek" and "pop drummer" gained two gold medals respectively. On the whole, there was a lack of cold and bright spots, which basically continued the pattern of the second stage without any accident.

Sorry?

Of course, that's the magic of Neil Patrick Harris? What about the winning list handbag transparent case that Octavia Spencer guards? Why is there no follow-up? Is it just a joke, Neil did not prepare for the follow-up part of the magic?

Although Neil always uses sesame sized humor to complete the performance, it seems that he is trying to shorten the duration of the award ceremony as much as possible; However, the hasty appearance and departure did not speed up the process of the award ceremony - some links can not be omitted, but the lack of interaction between the host and the audience, which also made the award ceremony slightly dry.

At this time, sitting leisurely next to the indoor outdoor swimming pool, Arthur slowly stood up, walked across the hall and toward the bar not far away, glanced at the live broadcast of ABC TV on the display screen, and then turned around to prepare some snacks and juice for himself. He relaxed and enjoyed himself. He even began to sing a little song, Showing a wonderful mood.

Despite this, Neil still dedicated the highlight of tonight's Academy Awards ceremony in the first half.

After another best original song nomination performance, the live camera directly stepped on the stage and said: Neil is missing.

Then, the camera shot onto the big screen, and all the audience followed the camera director to the backstage, through the long corridor, looking for Neil's dressing room.

"Has he changed yet? Please, are you kidding me now? "

At the far end of the camera lens, you can see Neil in a red bathrobe playing around at the door of his dressing room. Then the photographer trots all the way, only to find that Neil's bathrobe is stuck in the crack of the door. He has no way to get rid of himself. In a hurry, Neil can only

Take off your bathrobe and go straight to the stage.

Wearing a pair of white underwear.

The most important thing is that the familiar drum music of "Birdman" starts to ring, and the lens also presents a "Birdman" like scene to the end. Obviously, Neil is imitating the classic scene of "Birdman", Michael Keaton walking on the streets of New York in his white underwear. This scene has won a lot of attention on social networks, showing the effect of viral transmission; Now, it's coming back to the Oscars.

The staff who came to ask for autographs, the staff who took out their mobile phones to follow the shooting, the staff who were surrounded by Schadenfreude, and the guests who were stunned by fright... The Oscar backstage directly reproduced the classic clip of "Birdman".

The guests could not help laughing,

Just when people think that this is all, they see that Neil stops and turns around before he is about to step on the stage——

Langley hall!

"Ah, ah

Many of the audience couldn't hold back, clapping and laughing: drumming, Andrew; Andrew, beat the drum. Under the imitation show shell of "Birdman", Neil also invited Langley to guest star as a "cracker drummer", which skillfully integrated the two works and really achieved a rare entertainment effect.

Neil turned and made a "break" gesture to Langley, saying in Fletcher's voice, "it's not my rhythm."

In dismay, Lan Li threw away the drumstick, pushed away the camera lens, and strode away. His voice echoed in the corridor, "I want to leave. I want to leave now. I can't accept it."

The laughter could not stop, and the whole audience was full of laughter. When Neil really stepped on the stage, he reached the peak of the first half, whistling and applause swept the whole audience, and the "Birdman" crew was more than happy. Of course, the "pop drummer" crew was no better.

There is no doubt that this is the best in the first half, even the best in the whole game.

Neil completed the performance in an awkward but strong way. "Performance is a noble industry." Then there was a pause to look at the sky, as if they were hypnotizing themselves, and the laughter exploded, "and there are successors in this industry, such as the next group of award winners, magot Robbie and Ansel Elgort."

After the introduction, Neil walked across the stage, leaving behind a haunted figure.

Maybe Neil didn't show magic or interact with social networks; But at this moment, young people on social networks are already frying the pot.

The first half of the award ceremony ended with the best foreign language film——

"Sister IDA", directed by PAWEL Pawlikowski, a Polish director, did not have many rivals in the whole award season. She finally defeated the Russian film "Leviathan" and won Poland the first Oscar in history.

Because this is an important moment to make history, Paul pavlikovsky is very excited. His acceptance speech for winning the prize is more than two minutes. Compared with the situation that he was controlled within 40 seconds in previous years, it's really out of control. Several applause from the guests failed to calm him down.

After the awards ceremony, it has become one of the few make complaints about social networking.

In the second half of the award ceremony, the best supporting actress was the opening. Last year's best supporting actor winner Jared Leto came on the stage. The battle for best picture sounded the horn again. This time, will the competition situation change? Or just like in the first half?
