MTL - Hollywood Lover-Chapter 563 What you want is to break the record!
Only one less than Lord of the Rings!
This epic blockbuster, which combines Hollywood's favorite love and war, has become the strongest contender for this year's Oscars, with a total of 13 nominations, which makes it easy to think of winning 5 Oscars in the 68th Oscar. "Braveheart" by the statuette.
The same heroic theme, the same outstanding grandeur, and the same thrilling battles make people willing to believe that this masterpiece of DreamWorks will be recognized by Oscars like its predecessors.
But the only thing that threatens it is that the Lord of the Rings is also about ancient wars, and the content is repeated, so most of the judges think it is difficult to shake Zhang Dongcheng's leading position in the Lord of the Rings.
Let's look at another movie, "Never Compromise", which won five nominations for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Original Screenplay. Having already won various awards before the Oscars, this film adapted from a true story tells people that people have unlimited potential. Although this film has a good box office and a good reputation, compared with several other epic films with great works, the prospect of this film winning awards is bleak.
The great director Steven Soderbergh's painstaking effort is extremely darling, but he sorts it out in an orderly manner. And he also set a record. In the same Oscar, two films were nominated for best picture, and that was the movie "Drug Network", which won four nominations including best picture.
The other one is the above-mentioned "Never Compromise".
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the Olympic masterpiece of the well-known Chinese director Ang Lee, this film lived up to expectations and was nominated for 10 awards including Best Picture and Best Director! It is the pride of every Chinese to show this mysterious oriental culture to Western audiences, but the unique aesthetics of Westerners limits their understanding. What the West pays more attention to is the oriental atmosphere exuded in the film, and they even characterize it as a romance film rather than a kung fu film as Chinese audiences think. Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" lost to Jang Dong-seong's The Lord of the Rings at the Golden Globe Awards, many people think that this movie has the potential of a dark horse!
Many people publicly stated that they are optimistic that Ang Lee can win the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture in one fell swoop!
Then there is Jang Dong-seong’s The Lord of the Rings, this magical masterpiece, not to mention an epic blockbuster, the only movie that may break the record in the hearts of the media and movie fans.
What is surprising is that "Perfume", which Smith Zhang launched on Halloween last year, has a box office of more than 200 million US dollars in North America, and "Perfume", which is heading towards 400 million US dollars in the global box office, also won Best Actor and Best Costume Design, Best Visual Effects, Best Editing, Best Soundtrack and other five nominations are really unbelievable.
And Leonardo's performance in the perfume is amazing, conquering many Oscar judges in one fell swoop, and the gambling company will be listed as the favorite of Oscar's best actor, which also proves that Leonardo may really become the most famous actor in history. Handsome Oscar winner!
HOHO, Young Smith and Zhang's two movies all shined in the 73rd Oscar, and won 17 Oscar nominations in total. This is simply a record that shocked the world!
When the academy excluded a large number of white directors from the final circle of the best director, the five shortlisted were representatives of the academy, the old and strong director Steven Soderbergh, the epic blockbuster & amp;lt;Gladiator> director Ridley Scott, and the Chinese superstar director <Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon> Ang Lee , and <The Lord of the Rings> "Perfume", the 27-year-old Chinese director Smith Zhang!
Will this unparalleled war make Zhang Dongcheng be remembered by history? The answer is tonight!
Every Oscar has a lot of chatter after dinner, and this time is no exception.
This year’s Oscars set a lot of records. This year is the last time for the Oscars to be held at the Holy Cathedral Theater. Next year, the 74th Awards Ceremony will be held at the “Kodak Theater” built by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts. The "Kodak Theater", which is nearing completion, is located at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Street, and will be the permanent home of the Oscar statuette.
This is the last time to hold the Oscar Awards Ceremony at the Holy Cathedral Theater. The organizers have put in great effort, and the invited guests are also very respectful. 2,800 well-known movie stars from Hollywood and even the world attended, creating the lowest absence rate in history. Starlight The Boulevard was unveiled 30 minutes earlier than in previous years, so the number of people walking through the red carpet and entering the Shenandoah Theater was also the largest in history. Hundreds of celebrities, movie stars, and singers are all dressed up and competing for beauty. It can be called the world's largest fashion show.
Afterwards, according to the authoritative statistics of the "Los Angeles Times", as the stars and actors scattered all over the country arrived in Los Angeles at the same time to participate in this grand event, more than 2,000 sets of dresses were ordered or rented by various stars, and more than 1,300 stretched limousines were used. Rental services are in short supply. Even Hollywood’s “Rodeo” shopping street and “Harry Winston” jewelry store statistics show that the fashion jewelry and accessories sold for rent this time are worth more than 75 million U.S. dollars, which is also the highest profit in the past years. once.
Of course, the most eye-catching ones are of course Cartier's 20 million dollar diamond jewelry and Jessica Alba in Hanfu dragon robe. She was undoubtedly selected as one of the top ten dresses in 2001.
While the media reporters of fashion magazines were chasing after Jessica to take photos, Zhang Dongcheng was surrounded by countless female stars. They tried their best to show a small face in front of Zhang Dongcheng, as long as they could leave a little impression, they would be satisfied.
Although Zhang Dongcheng is very strict against the paparazzi, there is no impenetrable wall in this world. There is also a faint feeling that Zhang Dongcheng is not gay, but likes girls with **** and tall. This is from Patricia, Scarlett It can be seen from the choices of Johnson, Laticia, Jessica and Megan Fox, and Patricia suddenly announced the suspension of the host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. There are rumors that she is pregnant. Fucked Jang Dong-seong's child so hid...
Well, I'm not afraid that there are many girls around Smith Zhang, but I am afraid that he doesn't like women!
For Hollywood beauties who are young, beautiful, with impressive figures, and appearing endlessly, if Zhang Dongcheng can be more considerate to them, they are willing to accompany them, and they are very happy!
Somewhat reluctance to send away a beautiful woman, Jessica keenly noticed the fire in Zhang Dongcheng's eyes, she couldn't help holding his arm and asked softly: "Smith, that girl is not bad, she has a very hot figure!"
Zhang Dongcheng quickly retracted his eyes, and said with a smile: "Ah, is it? I think she is not as good as you at all."
Talking gibberish here, Zhang Dongcheng stretched out his hand, hugged Jessica and faced the media with a smile on his face, posing in POSS to take pictures.
"How many girls approached you today? I made a bet with Patricia, she thought there would be no less than twenty, and I said thirty..." Jessica faced the media reporters gracefully, but It was whispered in Zhang Dongcheng's ear.
"Aha, I think you will win tonight, because more than 50 girls have come to take pictures with me, and more than 30 have left their phone numbers." Zhang Dongcheng faced Jessica The slightly jealous words, but they laughed out loud.
"Okay, okay..." Jessica had no choice but to say, "Patricia and I can't accompany you during this time, Scarlett can't do it alone, if you want to find it, then find it Bar."
As soon as Zhang Dongcheng heard it, he quickly said in a serious manner: "There are too many beauties in the West, so that's it. You are enough. I have a chance to add a few sisters from the East to you."
Before Jessica came, she was dragged into the venue by Zhang Dongcheng, and there were several girls staring at him. If Jessica wasn't by his side, she would have pounced on him immediately.
After exchanging greetings with such a large group of people, the awards ceremony will begin soon. Zhang Dongcheng and Jessica are sitting in the most prestigious first row seats.
In the first row of the theater, he could clearly see everything on the stage. Before the camera was shot at him, he quickly turned his head and looked back. Hey, good guy, this venue can hold 2800 people. people!
Now there are already a lot of people sitting in the back, but in the camera lens, they are all the background, only the stars in the front row will be completely recorded by the camera, and this time there are a lot of Asian audiences, because Zhang The Lord of the Rings in Dongcheng and Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, many Chinese movie fans in the United States wanted to witness the historical moment with their own eyes and went to great lengths to enter the venue. Chinese Taipei even sent a large number of delegations to the scene to support Director Ang Lee cheers.
And Zhang Dongcheng? No, he doesn't need his motherland Huaxia to organize any cheering group for him, because as long as he is present now, everyone is his fan!
Surrounded by big-name stars, Jang Dong-seong could even see Gladiator star Russell Crowe not far away, but this guy was not at all as happy as an Oscar-winner nominee, but had a dark, tired face , obviously in a bad mood.
No way, nomination for Best Actor Oscar, it’s not a selection for popular products, why isn’t this guy happy?
The South American criminal group was dissatisfied with the kidnap negotiating expert played by Russell in the movie "Survival Elements", so they issued a kidnapping and extortion warning. He is now under close protection from the FBI for three months. There was danger at any time, and if he did fall into the hands of the criminal syndicate and was kidnapped, he would lose a finger every day until the criminals of the criminal syndicate got 13 million dollars. That is to say, if there is an emergency and he can't come up with the money, then he only has ten days to live.
Don't look at the superstars earning 20 million US dollars for a movie, but their expenses are beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
Not to mention the need for protection when going in and out, just to attend different ceremonies, you need different dresses, and you can't repeat them, this is a huge expense, plus luxury cars, mansions and luxurious enjoyment corresponding to your status, you can earn 2,000 a year Ten thousand dollars may be spent in two or three years!
So it is not easy for an Oscar winner, a superstar of the 20 million club to come up with 13 million US dollars in cash all at once.
Turning his head again, Li An and the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon crew were sitting on the other side. The international Zhang who saw his eyes turned into peach blossoms was still throwing all kinds of seductive eyes, but Zhang Dongcheng ignored her, He just stared at the person who finally appeared in front of him, Zhou Runfa, a big brother in Hong Kong movies.
Zhou Runfa's eyes turned around at this moment, seeing Zhang Dongcheng looking at him with a smile, he was slightly taken aback, but soon came back to his senses, and responded to Zhang Dongcheng with a smile.
Over there, Zhang Ziyi keenly noticed Zhou Runfa's movements, and asked strangely: "Mr. Zhou, why are you still in a daze when you see Director Zhang Da? Should you go up and say hello to him?"
"The awards ceremony is about to start. I'll go over and have a chat with Mr. Zhang Dongcheng later." Zhou Runfa withdrew his eyes and whispered to Zhang Ziyi: "I just feel that his eyes are strange, as if he wants to find something. I do, or maybe they want to eat me up..."
"Haha, Zhang Dongcheng is not gay, even if he was, he wouldn't look for an uncle like you, would he?" Zhang Ziyi really saw Zhang Dongcheng's nature right, and then laughed, "Did you see his girlfriend today? Jesse Kaalba, the newest global spokesperson for Mademoiselle Coco Chanel, the dragon robe outfit she wore today, hehe, it completely exposed Zhang Dongcheng's ambition!"
"Oh, is that right? It's just a dragon robe, what's the ambition?" Of course Zhou Runfa saw Jessica's unique combination of Hanfu and Western evening dress, but he didn't know the inside story like Zhang Ziyi.
I have to say that a woman's intuition is stronger than a man's. Zhang Ziyi smiled and said firmly: "Zhang Dongcheng asked his female partner to wear a dragon robe. In fact, he wanted to be the supreme emperor of Hollywood, ordering the world to dare to wear dragon robes." No!"
Zhou Runfa just smiled when he heard this: "That's not bad! How can we say that Zhang Dongcheng is also a Chinese, and it is not easy to make a name for himself in Hollywood. If he really becomes the emperor of Hollywood, it will not be a bad thing for us."
Zhang Ziyi's eyes crossed the crowd, and fell on the face of Zhang Dongcheng who was calmly waiting for the awards ceremony to begin. Although he did not respond to Zhou Runfa's words, the hidden desire in his heart never went out.
"He wants to be the emperor, so can I be the queen? Of course, I should wear the dragon robe to be more beautiful!" Zhang Ziyi looked at the beautiful Jessica with envy and envy, and hated her in her heart. Thinking: "But, how can I get close to him?".
Zhang Ziyi was still thinking wildly here, but not long there, the host Steve Martin, nicknamed Pulsatilla, stepped onto the stage and said to the 2,800 people who were fully seated: "Aha, hello everyone. , Welcome to the scene of the 73rd Academy Awards! I am your old friend Steve Martin!"
It finally started. Zhang Dongcheng was sitting on his chest. This day was his lucky day. Naturally, he wanted to maintain his status as the best director in front of the global audience!
Several small awards were announced, and Lord of the Rings showed the most terrifying ability to win awards from the very beginning, and did not give other films any chance at all, unceremoniously awarding the Best Film Music Award, Best Film Soundtrack Award, and Best Film Score Award. Burton, director of the special effects studio for making Lord of the Rings far better than the original Fire of Heaven, and Irish musician Enya, who won the Best Music Award, and Howard, who won the Best Soundtrack Award Go, express my deepest respect to Zhang Dongcheng.
"He is the best film director on the planet. He continues to create images, create trends, and even drive social progress. Smith Zhang is an unparalleled person! Thank God for letting me meet him!" Burton, the special effects director of Heavenly Fire, took Seeing the statuette raised high, there was uncontrollable admiration in his eyes.
"I totally agree with what Mr. Burton said. Only when you are with Zhang Dongcheng can you realize what is called true perfection. It is not endless work, work, work, but to find the true meaning in happiness and happiness, so as to reflect it in the movie. Go, the crazy work attitude and perseverance are amazing! I swear to God, I adore him!" Howard, the soundtrack composer who also held up the statuette, was full of excitement, even more excited than in Jin It's even more exciting to get the trophy at the Ball Awards.
""May It Be" was written under the inspiration of Zhang Dongcheng. When I sing this song, I will be full of surprises. It has such a high achievement in the field of film, just like Mount Everest, and in music. The same amazing talent, Zhang Dongcheng made me feel the true meaning of the saying that the capable can do anything for the first time. I am very happy that Zhang Dongcheng chose to be a director. If he wants to be a singer, I am afraid that many of our colleagues will Unemployment..." Enya's words had a different kind of compliment, it's hard to believe that this Irish national treasure singer has such admiration for Zhang Dongcheng.
Enya's last little joke made many viewers grin their mouths with laughter, and then gave them warm applause. The whole venue cheered one after another, and the staff of ZDC TV naturally wanted their biggest BOSS to be on camera more, Immediately, the camera was aimed at Zhang Dongcheng who kept smiling, so that people all over the world could see such a high-spirited, handsome and unrestrained super director Smith Zhang.
"Win three items, and nine more, and Smith Zhang will become the number one in the world!" Die-hard movie fan Suzanne, brother Hubie, and movie fan Thomas who came from Salt Lake City sat in the back seats together, but they Still very excited to help Zhang Dongcheng cheer, talking non-stop.
"No problem, it can definitely be broken! Today Smith Zhang is going to be the only one!" Thomas blushed watching the segment of The Lord of the Rings broadcast on the big screen on the stage, feeling agitated.
