Chapter 348 Love Complacency

After a simple and witty opening remarks, the award ceremony entered the official awarding part. Chen Jin has read the nomination list of this conference before, as well as some media reports. Obviously, the things in his memory are similar to the media's reports. The most popular ones in this year are Schindler's List, Philadelphia Story, Seattle Night, Farewell to Love and Jurassic Park.

From the names of these five films, it is not difficult to see why Stephen Spielberg and Tom Hanks will be the two most dazzling stars tonight. Schindler's List won the Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Photography, Best Art Direction, There are ten nominations, including Best Music Song, Best Sound, and Best Makeup. Although Jurassic Park has only been nominated for three awards, including Best Sound, Best Sound Editing and Best Visual Effects, it has a record global box office of nearly $ 900 million.

One has achieved the greatest success in art and the other has achieved the greatest success in business. Ubi Godbo just said that he is the perfect combination of art and commerce and the favorite director of all the filmmakers.

As for Tom Hanks, he starred in Philadelphia Story and Sleepless in Seattle, which were well-winning and recognized last year. President Clinton, who just took office last year, was his loyal fan. He also attended the presidential dinner at that time, which was in the limelight.

The Academy Awards, like other award ceremonies, are small awards at the beginning. Of course, occasionally there are some important or high-profile awards, so that everyone is not too bored.

The best visual effect was taken away by Jurassic Park, the award of the best original song was given to Philadelphia Story, and the best original soundtrack was given to Schindler's List. At the beginning, it was unexpected that Steven Spielberg's dance of victory began.

After the three awards were awarded, there was a paragraph, and the light hit the host stage of Ubigodebao Station again. I only heard her speak slowly and seemed to be very serious. "Tonight, we are going to decipher a production process from everyone, a mysterious, always scary or frustrating, boring or happy, moody. Even a collapsing process, it is film production.

Everyone laughed. She grinned and showed her snow-white teeth, which was particularly eye-catching. "With their endless imagination, the playwrights showed us the characters, plots, and even emotions and styles of a movie with their unique words. This is a magical process in itself. With them, there is a The department is wonderful, let us feel the joys and sorrows in an instant, and thank them.

When she said this, the light dimmed and the people went down, but the other stage lit up. Schwarzenegger and Stallone actually stood up. Obviously, they came to present the Best Original Screenplay Award. However, their images are too incommensurate. One represents wisdom and the other represents muscle. This is really It's so interesting.

The organizers really took a lot of effort. As soon as they stood on the stage and didn't speak, everyone was happy and applauded hard. The same was true of Chen Jin and others. After a while, they took a break. Schwarzenegger spoke first with a smile, "Obviously, everyone has a certain recognition of our wisdom."

Everyone was happy again, but Schwarzenegger still smiled and gave a GIVEMEFIVE with Stallone. Once again, Stallone simply installed it. "The great screenwriter Charlotte Bronte said: An author with creative talent must have something he is not very good at."

He was saying that Schwarzenegger was looking at him, as if he was worshipping. At this time, Stallone finally couldn't go on. He turned his head, looked at Schwarzenegger, and said seriously, "Don't fall in love with me because of this. I'm serious."

Everyone finally couldn't help laughing and applause. The two muscular men also came to GIVE MEFIVE again. They were so excited.

After talking and laughing, I began to watch the nomination list and short film, and there was also a simple and short comment, "Fake President", "Philadelphia Story", "Seatfield Night", "Piano Love", and finally "Seven Deadly Sins". Oscar's judges commented on "Seven Deadly Sins" as: Seven Original Sins are rampant in the world, in this In the materialistic world, too many people have lost themselves, and their inability to escape seems to be a doomed fate. The implication of John Du reveals makes us silent.

The most tense moment is coming, and it seems that every one is very strong, especially Philadelphia Story and Seattle Sleepless, which are classics and Tom Hanks's masterpieces.

Schwarzenegger opened the envelope and said, "There is a guy I know here. He is a little villain and a super genius." He pulled out the list and stopped abruptly. Chen Jin knew that he had no chance.

Sure enough, Schwarzenegger took a look at the stage and didn't know who it was. He gave the list of winners to Stallone before shouting, "Congratulations on "Don't Fall in Love with the Piano."

Chen Jin was a little surprised that "Seven Deadly Sins" did not lose to "Philadelphia Story" or "Seat at Night in Seattle", but to "Don't Fall in Love with the Piano".

However, there is nothing strange. Director and screenwriter Jane Campion presents you an almost perfect female film or a growth film. It shows a spiritually self-sufficient woman's process of reconciliation with the secular world after struggling. This unique thing is for Oscar's judges. For the judges of all the film awards ceremonies in the world, it is a kind of **.

The first nominated award is useless, and then there are a bunch of awards that have nothing to do with Chen Jin and others and have no characteristics. When it was almost half-time, Ubigodbo stood up again to play treasure. "The hand of the film clipper's hand is like a pair of magician's hands, magical and full of magic."

With that, this guy actually shouted at Chen Jin again, "Hey, KING, can you show us a super handsome man and a super genius? I heard that you have also been nominated."

Turning around, Chen Jin stretched out his hand helplessly. A pair of slender hands, each finger was so even. One more point would be fat, and one point less would be thin. There was no flaw. When the camera gave his hand a close-up, there was a small exclamation on the scene.

Just like this, you can make money as a hand model. Ubigodebao curled his lips and said, "Jealous guy, do you have anything else that doesn't look so perfect? For example, you have quirks and like a fat sister like me." With that, he deliberately twisted his body and put on a very ** POSE, which amused everyone.

The award was given by two guys that Chen Jin was not familiar with. As usual, they said something that seemed to be very interesting, but it was obviously not as interesting as Schwarzenegger and Stallone, and then, as usual, they looked at the nomination list.

"Schindler's List", "In the Name of the Father", "Piano Don't Love", "Fire Line Sniper", and finally "Seven Deadly Sins". The short comments on the nominations are: seven days, seven heavy rains, seven o'clock, the city shrouded in haze, dark rooms, dark life, every detail is perfectly presented, giving big The biggest shock and thought of the family.

Seeing Schindler's List, Chen Jin disarmed and surrendered at the first time. This is not self-confidence or anything else. The simple reason is that all this is in the hands of the guys in the Oscar jury and he can't control it.

And the guys in the Oscar jury have their stubborn and persistent rules, such as Schindler's List, which they like, and the results of the previous awards also show a certain trend.

No surprise, it was "Schindler's List". Chen Jin's second nomination also failed. Moreover, the second of the Best Editing Award was the award of the Best Foreign Language Film. This time, Chen Jin still failed to turn over and lost to his deskmate Farewell My Concubine.

To be honest, the best foreign language film lost to Farewell My Concubine. Chen Jin was mostly gratified. It was not because he also had an investment in this film, but that he saw that his family had such a performance, and the most local characteristics won the award. He was honored.

After the three awards related to him were awarded, Chen Jin was not interested. It was not the reason why he didn't win the award. This kind of occasion was actually meaningless, and few guests could perform very well, which made everyone really happy.

The final result is naturally Steven Spielberg's victory, winning eight awards including Best Director and Best Picture with Schindler's List, and Tom Hanks won his first Oscar with Philadelphia Story.

The winner can attend the dinner. Chen Jin is one of the largest investors in Farewell My Concubine. Although he did not win the award, he is also qualified to participate. Of course, the most important thing is that the organizers very much welcome him to participate.

Chen Jin doesn't like this kind of entertainment very much, but if you want to develop here, interpersonal relationships are absolutely indispensable. As the saying goes, you often come and go to have friendship. If you often don't see anyone, no one will see you in the end.

There are many big shots at this kind of banquet, James and Edward are also there, and there are many high-level executives such as Paramount, Columbia, MGM, Warner, 21st Century Fox, Lionsgate and so on.

When Chen Jin appeared, he actually became a very high-profile figure for a while, which was probably because of his five movie scripts. Of course, his previous success was the cornerstone.

Edward, an old fox, is interesting. Zhang Xiao was very irresponsible. He became the leader of Chen Jin and took him to know the senior management of one company after another. He looked like Chen Jin's spokesperson, which made Chen Jin laugh and cry. Moreover, he originally planned to be a little with the senior management of those companies. Let's talk about the details, and now we don't have a chance.

Arrived, Edward looked at Chen Jinkong and pulled him aside with a smile. "KING, I've seen your five scripts. It's really great. I think, as long as it's shot, there will be at least 1 billion US dollars at the box office. Na, I'm a very generous person, and very I'm willing to help my friends. In this way, if you think it's inappropriate to share the interests equally, then we can get four or six points. How about you get a large share?

Four or six cents, this is the producer's money, plus his distributor's money, Universal actually got 70%, while Chen Jin only got 30%. Most importantly, he did not want to cooperate with Universal's family, not only the incident, but also he had other purposes.

"Billion?" Chen Jin smiled and said, "Mr. Edward, I'll make a bet with you. If it's less than 1.5 billion US dollars at the box office, I don't want you to pay a penny. However, if there is more than 1.5 billion US dollars, we will get four or six cents before one billion, and we don't want a penny after one billion dollars. How about it?"

Edward was not fooled. He laughed and patted Chen Jin on the shoulder. "No, KING, I think you heard it wrong. I'm talking about at least 1 billion, of course, including 1.5 billion. What I just want to express is that as long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we can give the greatest sincerity, including the previous promise. It's up to you to make the movie.

To be honest, Edward's attitude made Chen Jin a little moved and happy. After thinking about it, he said sincerely, "Mr. Edward, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with your company. For these five films, I hope to be produced multiple films at the same time, not one or two."

pointed to his own head, "Mr. Edward, whether you believe it or not, I still have a lot of strange ideas in my head. For example, when I talk to you now, I come up with a good script and lines, and I promise to be appreciated. That is to say, I will have a large number of scripts in the future. Think about it, will you still worry about not having a good book? Maybe, I can promise again that the cooperation between us will continue happily, and the world will definitely be our first choice.

Edward didn't believe it, but couldn't believe it. He asked doubtfully, "Do you mean one after another?" Chen Jin smiled and nodded, "Yes, think about it, when five films are waiting for us immediately after the five films are filmed, then do you still think that you must grasp all the rights and interests of these five films now? Maybe there are better ones later!"

Regardless of whether Edward fully believes Chen Jin's words or not, it is obvious that Chen Jin's words have played a role. In the next few stressful days, he, Zhang Xiao and Yang Junchao visited Paramount, MGM and other companies again. They had a preliminary intention in some things. Specifically, Zhang Xiao and others were responsible for it. .

Chen Jin's time is very tight. "The Jedi Cop 2" is still shooting nervously. He stayed for just five days and was about to rush back.

I'm going back in the afternoon. Helen is still at Zhang Xiao's side. In the morning, Zhang Xiao was just going to talk to Paramount Pictures, so she asked Chen Jin to pick up Helen from him. But when Chen Jin arrived there, Zhang Xiao said that he had just taken Helen out to buy something and would come back soon.

He didn't send Chen Jin himself, but asked Chen Jin to pick him up. There was something in itself. Chen Jin found that he might have something to say at that time, but now he didn't even have anyone, but there was no problem. He was not in a hurry, let alone anything.

Step out of the villa and walk slowly along the road. In this way, he is alone, free and no one knows him. The feeling of walking quietly is actually novel and unique to him now.

It's quite far away. I was about to turn back, but I saw a familiar figure opposite the corner. His eyes lit up and he shouted in surprise, "Hi, Jennifer!"
