Chapter 743： the most important

Oscar, the ultimate annual party of the Hollywood film industry.

It may be postponed, it may cause controversy, but it will never be absent.

On the last weekend of February 2005, the 77th Oscars ceremony kicked off with countless people watching.

Every Oscar award ceremony is always accompanied by various noises.

Of course, this year will be no exception.

The affirmative movement and the black movement groups occupied the best position at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard early and conveyed their ideas to the world.

There are also some militants who lighted candles to commemorate the Atlanta victim not far from the Kodak Theater.

The Los Angeles police are like enemies, for fear of uncontrollable events.

Fortunately, until the red carpet ceremony of the awards ceremony began, protests and various activities only remained at the stage of chanting slogans, and did not evolve into the traditional riots in Los Angeles. The situation was completely under control.

The current social situation has a huge impact on Oscar.

These are not only reflected in the awards selection, those celebrities with a keen sense of smell, have been prepared for dressing up early.

For example, this black dress is particularly popular. It is not only black movie stars like Will Smith and Halle Berry appearing in a solemn black image, such as Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, and Bray. De Pete, etc., when more than half of the guests walked on the red carpet, they were dressed in black or dark dresses.

Hollywood stars are very **** with many things, but their sense of smell is often very sensitive.

This time, the black wave is surging, and the momentum is unprecedentedly strong. It is also the most nominated black in Oscar history.

Correspondingly, this has set a tone for this Oscar.

Even, the host of this year's Oscars is a black comedy star Chris Rock.

Throughout the history of the Oscars, most of the time this award seems to be only related to white movie stars, and only 3% of blacks are nominated.

The same is true in the performance industry, and the same is true behind the scenes.

In the high-tech jobs behind the scenes, the proportion of black workers is lower than that of actors.

Hollywood, the number of black directors and black producers is even rarer.

Of course, these situations are not only caused by the environment.

Ronan wore a black formal suit and entered the Kodak Theater. He did not go to the hall and sit down immediately, but chatted with Harvey Weinstein he met for a while.

"This year, you will have a good harvest." Harvey Weinstein said, shaking his head, "How many are you sure of?"

Ronan shrugged slightly: "Who can guarantee until the end."

According to his wishes, it is of course the best to take all the nominees, but this is obviously impossible.

Harvey Weinstein said: "This year, Miramax is going home empty-handed."

There are not many nominations directly related to Miramax.

This fat man was very polite in front of him, Ronan also politely said: "This is because Disney is holding you back."

Hearing about Disney, Harvey Weinstein could only sigh: "It's no way to continue."

"Do you have other ideas?" Ronan deliberately put on a curious look: "Are there any good ideas?"

Harvey Weinstein said with a smile: "Where there is a good idea, I am always pressed by Disney, a little depressed, as if out of breath."

"It will always pass." Ronan said nonsense that he didn't believe him.

Harvey Weinstein glanced at Ronan: "Unfortunately, Miramax does not have the strength of Relativity Entertainment, otherwise I would give Michael Eisner a bite."

Ronan smiled: "This kind of thing is hard to say."

Harvey Weinstein invited Ronan into the hall together. They didn’t go far out and met the Zhang Baimao and Director Zhang. They shook hands with Ronan and greeted him politely, but did not respond to Harvey Wei. Enstein.

This is also the result of Harvey Weinstein’s tricks of buying copyright.

Compared to this fat man, Ronan is definitely the kind of person who obeys the rules.

Although the box office in North America is not good, it is not particularly bad. Lionsgate wants to save the investment through offline operations and also declares an Oscar for this film.

Following "Hero", Director Zhang received an Oscar nomination for best foreign language film.

At the same time, this film also received a nomination for best photography.

The most praised thing about "Ten-faced Haze" is photography, and even some media in North America claim that the film's directorial level seriously hinders photography...

It's very difficult to win the award for this film. In terms of the subject matter and content, the Oscar judges are familiar with it, and even "Eavesdropping Storm" can't match.

Into the main hall, Ronan found the crew of "When Happiness Knocked on the Door" and sat with Will Smith.

"Are you nervous?" Ronan glanced, Will Smith kept shaking his legs.

Will Smithstein said: "Of course I'm nervous. After so much effort, the success or failure will be tonight. Everyone will be nervous."

"It's useless to be nervous." Ronan deliberately said: "The award results have come out. We still have a chance to find someone to kill the two big bosses of PricewaterhouseCoopers."

Will Smith rubbed his face and said, "I'm much better." He turned to ask, "Did the money invested in "When Happiness Knock on the Door" returned?"

Ronan understood what Will Smith meant, and said, "Don't worry, you'll be back."

Relativity Entertainment Chongao’s four films have already recovered their costs.

Today, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" was released for 12 weeks, and the North American box office has accumulated a total of 210.23 million US dollars.

Although the film is still released in North America because of the Oscars, the box office market consumes almost the same amount. If Will Smith can get the best actor, maybe he can get another wave.

The North American box office of "Emperor Penguin Diary", which was nominated for best documentary feature film, was close to 75 million U.S. dollars. This is the second only documentary in the history of the North American film market after "Fahrenheit 911".

"Fahrenheit 911" did not get any Oscar nomination due to the subject matter and content, but it was quite rewarding at the Golden Plum Award.

Xiao is not overwhelming Colin Farrell, who has a catastrophic performance on "Alexander the Great", and successfully won the Golden Raspberry Award Winner.

In terms of film awards, Xiao has successfully surpassed all American presidents.

The biggest news of this year's Golden Sour Plum is not the little one, but the last Oscar's Best Actress Halle Berry personally received the Oscar's little golden man for the worst actress award.

The film "Catwoman" directly brought Halle Berry's career down a notch.

Oscar curse is also fulfilled again.

is also a film that has not invested much resources. The performance of "Eavesdropping Storm" is much worse. The scale of North American screenings has never exceeded 400, and the North American box office has just reached 9 million US dollars.

Fortunately, the embassy film industry has always been very sane, and has always controlled the investment scale of "Eavesdropping Storm". Most of the copies were shipped from the UK after they were downgraded.

Although "Crash" is also niche, but after all, it is about Americans. After receiving multiple Oscar nominations, the market has performed much better. After more than two months of screenings, the North American box office has accumulated a total of 55.79 million U.S. dollars. Philippine earnings.

Similar to "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", the heavyweight Oscar award can also become a booster for "Crash" to enter the overseas market.

As time goes by, more and more people enter the Kodak Theater, including popular seed players like "Million Dollar Baby".

Clint Eastwood also nominated the best actor, and there is a certain upset possibility.

As for the "Aviator" crew led by Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, it is relatively quiet. Perhaps the main creative team of the crew is also aware of the fate of the company.

Compared with other films that have received multiple nominations, "Aviator" has received too much criticism since it was released.

Even a lot of film critic Martin Scorsese is too ugly in order to hit the Oscars.

Finally, amidst the sound of music, the 77th Oscars ceremony kicked off.

Perhaps the Oscar Organizing Committee took into account the current social situation and specially selected Chris Rock, a black comedy star, as the host.

Chris Rock gags and tries his best to clarify the position of this Oscar.

In terms of the other side of the Pacific, the Oscar atmosphere tonight is most suitable to describe it like this-we black people, how so happy today...

Some things are so obvious that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the School of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has painstakingly and carefully balanced various kinds of balances with the goal of being as politically correct as possible In the face of these, film art is no longer important or even changed Dispensable.

Winning Oscars for film art alone, people who still have this idea today can only say that they are too simple and naive.

Tonight, Oscar made the black brothers feel the most important thing for them to stand up!

Therefore, the first award presented at this year's Oscars, which is the best supporting actor, set the tone for the entire awards ceremony.

"The one who won the best supporting actor is..." The last best supporting actress Scarlett Johansson announced: "Morgan Freeman, "Million Dollar Baby"."

In an instant, the audience burst into extremely warm applause, as if this is not a victory for film art, but a victory for social progress!

Morgan Freeman took the stage to accept the award. After his routine thanks, he screamed: "Hollywood is still making history, and Hollywood is making progress with the world! Hope that one day, the race and skin color of actors will no longer be Features mentioned!"

The applause became more enthusiastic.

Then, the award of technology awards began, and it was time for "Aviator".

Oscars always like to balance, and all aspects must be taken into consideration. The competition between companies must also be balanced, and the various orientations of the film must also be balanced. Therefore, technology awards and adapted screenplay awards have become important balances. "Aviator" has no relationship with major awards, but it is well-made, and such labor needs to be rewarded.
