Although there is no live TV broadcast, the reporters waiting in front of the Hall of Sacred Citizens are no less than the Oscars, and even the number of fans gathered on the red carpet far exceeds the Oscars, making the scale of the awards ceremony extremely large.
There is no award ceremony in Hollywood that can match the Oscars, but when it comes to the number of fans on the scene, the Oscars may not be the most.
Because the films nominated for the Saturn Awards have an audience that far exceeds that of the Oscar-nominated films, coupled with the lack of live broadcasting, many fans often rush to the scene to support their favorite films.
When it comes to markets and audiences, science fiction, fantasy and action movies that occupy the Saturn Award nominations are the mainstream.
When Optimus Prime’s reduced model was pushed onto the red carpet by Duke, the atmosphere on the scene was almost crazy. This film, which was nominated for the Saturn Award at the last moment, is undoubtedly the most powerful contender for many awards this year. .
Duke can’t remember how many Saturn Awards he’s nominated for Best Director. This time he walked the red carpet with the Optimus Prime model, not only to promote the film that is still being shown, but also the leader of the Autobots. Nominated for best actor!
Since the main cast and crew of the "Transformers" crew are still running publicity announcements around the world, only Duke and Anna Prinz came to the award ceremony.
Compared with the Oscars, the Saturn Awards ceremony is more cheerful, and the films that appear here are also familiar types of movie fans. There will be no cases where the professionals at the Oscars shout hello and the audiences are very few.
"We will be the biggest winner!"
Sitting on the seat, Anna Prinz said to Duke, "You, the director, came to the awards ceremony in person. The organizer will definitely leave several heavyweight awards to "Transformers."
Just like the Oscars and the three major European film festivals, the award of the Saturn Awards has never been fair. The organizers will give priority to big-name stars and directors who are willing to come to the scene. With Duke's current status and status, since he has agreed to attend the awards ceremony, the jury will definitely consider it.
This is a normal phenomenon in film awards all over the world.
The awards ceremony has only started for a short time. As the crew, Anna Prinz has been on the podium several times.
"Transformers" won three awards for Best Editing, Best Visual Effects, and Best Film Music. The representative of Hasbro also won the best actor trophy for Optimus Prime.
of course. The most important is the best director and the best film awards in several popular genres.
There was hardly any suspense. Duke successfully took home the trophy for best director. He didn't say much, because he only prepared a copy of his acceptance speech, and he just thanked him and walked off the stage.
He had just circumvented from the backstage back to the front court when he saw a brown-haired actress standing on the stage saying, "The best science fiction film is..."Transformers!"
Amid applause, Duke once again stepped onto the stage of the Hall of Sacred Citizens. Hugged gently with the brown-haired actress in charge of the awards, "Thank you, Miss Portman."
Natalie Portman did not speak, but kept the smile on her face, and handed the trophy to Duke's hand.
After saying that polite remark, Duke stopped looking at the former idol and stood in front of the microphone, "As a representative of Optimus Prime and Megatron on earth. I thank them for their fans' support!"
He raised the trophy in his hand, "This award is the best affirmation for me and the entire crew for their hard work in the past year. We worked hard and exhausted our efforts to make movies, just to get your appreciation! The audience's love is always It is my greatest forward motivation!"
"Thank you!" Duke waved in all directions.
There was enthusiastic applause in the auditorium again, and Natalie Portman was standing on the side of the stage, smiling and applauding, just slandering in her heart. The other party is always watching the audience's wallet!
Although the two have not been in contact for a long time, she is very clear that they have something in common in many aspects. For example, they have worked hard to create an excellent public image, such as never telling their true purpose.
She and him are covered with a thick layer of disguise!
Even if I haven't seen each other for several years. Natalie Portman is also convinced of this.
After the applause fell, Natalie first turned and walked into the backstage, but her brown eyes still drifted to the side and behind, and the tall figure walked slightly behind on the left.
Carrying the trophy, Duke looked at the petite figure from the back. He hadn't seen him in a few years, and Natalie Portman looked more and more like she remembered.
A few years ago, he had seen this girl's scheming, and now he has no intention of continuing to associate.
Just walked into the backstage, Martin Miller came over, he nodded to Natalie Portman first, and greeted Duke affectionately.
"Nate turned out to be your guest of honor," Martin Miller led Natalie Portman in front of Duke. "This is incredible."
There were people coming and going backstage, and Duke would not rudely ignore Natalie Portman again, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it either."
He offered to extend a hand, "It's been a long time, Nat."
"Hi, Duke." Natalie shook his hand lightly, showing a slightly stiff, reserved smile.
Compared to her, Duke was no different from usual, and said casually, "I haven't seen you in a few years, you have grown up."
Martin Miller knew a little about the past between the two. He remembered that Duke and Natalie had a very good relationship, but then they stopped contacting each other without knowing why.
"When will the new film be prepared?" Martin Miller said naturally, "I have heard people mention that there will be an extraordinary female character in your new film?"
Duke did not deny it, and nodded slightly.
Martin Miller's eyes fell on Natalie. "What do you think of Nat?"
"Sorry." Duke also went around in circles and directly refused, "I already have a candidate for the heroine."
On the other side, Natalie's eyes showed a slight disappointment.
Since the end of the Star Wars series, her development has been quite unsatisfactory. Everything seems to have stayed at the stage of Padmé Amidala. The several movies starring in both box office and influence are extremely mediocre, completely with her imagination. different.
Although the Jewish forces in Hollywood admit that she is her own, and will give priority to her under the same conditions, but without good works and good roles, these are simply not enough for her to realize her dreams.
Natalie knows very well that the success of the Star Wars Prequel series has nothing to do with her. The industry and outsiders will not put credit on her head. To become a first-line star in Hollywood, she must prove herself.
It's just that Hollywood wants to prove that there are too many actors. How many lucky ones are there?
The most typical one is Haicheng Christensen, who starred with her in the prequel of Star Wars. The idol who was so popular that he was so red at the time, now he can only hang around in some influential films.
This is not the life she wants. To be a winner is harder than she thought.
She looked at Duke, and if he wanted to, it was easy to win an actor.
If she had been as mature as she is now, she wouldn't have made such low-level mistakes.
If you want to be successful in Hollywood, you can’t take face into consideration. This is especially true for agents. Martin Miller has no intention of giving up, "What about other female characters? Are there other heavyweight female characters?"
Duke couldn't be here for too long, and said directly, "They are all vase-type characters. Martin, if Natalie is interested, you can contact Tina to participate in the audition, you should know her phone number. "
After speaking, Duke looked at his watch, "I have something to do, let's take my leave."
Seeing Duke turned and walked away, Martin Miller frowned slightly, turned his head, and said to Natalie, "Nat, I don’t know what kind of contradiction you have with him. The contradictions between Tom Cruise are sharp. In this circle, there is no contradiction that cannot be resolved."
He sighed, "I have seen the heroine's role script on Warner Bros. Although it is an action movie, this role is really rare. As long as the film can have a third of the success of "Transformers", it is enough. Reverse your image solidified by Padmé Amidala."
Patting Natalie's arm lightly, Martin Miller didn't say anything, he knew that the other side was a very smart woman.
Stepping out of the backstage, Duke accepted the routine interview in the interview area and returned to the auditorium. He automatically ignored the meeting just now. He had made a mistake in the past few years. He didn’t want to come again. His idol is only representative of the past, and now he must not look at it with the same eyes as he used to look at, just as he likes Sean Connery's several movies in his old age, or he does not hesitate to do everything possible to deal with him.
Natalie Portman It was just past.
Compared to Charlize Theron, her image does not fit the setting of the heroine of the new project. As for the other vase roles, not to mention that she is suitable. Natalie Portman will appear in her character. Is there such a dispensable role?
The most suitable candidates for those roles are the angels of Victoria's Secret.
Awards are still being awarded one after another. Regardless of whether the Saturn Awards are really fair or not, all the winning films have one characteristic-they are all winners in the film market and have an extremely wide audience.
Films such as "Sweeney Todd" and "I am a Legend", which are not seen by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, have won the heavyweight awards of the Saturn Award.
The biggest winner of this year's Saturn Awards is "Transformers", which has won the most awards. This has also become Warner Bros.'s latest publicity and hype. It has also allowed the film's gradual slowdown in the box office harvest momentum, and once again increased its horsepower. (To be continued...)
