Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 251 Aftermath

With the waves caused by the best soundtrack awards, the 61st Academy Awards Ceremony also entered the closing stage unconsciously.

When Anne Archer introduced the Oscar's last nominated best film "Working Girl", Kurt Russell and Gody Han and his wife took the stage together and began to award the best actor award.

Behind the scenes and before and after the show, the people who had just experienced a wonderful'showdown' once again held their breath.

On the stage, the Russells took a joke speech and said in turn: "The Oscar nominees for this year's best actor are, Jean Harcoman, "Mississippi is burning"; Tom Hanks, "Flying Over "Future", Dustin Hoffman, "Rainman"; Edward James Omos, "Teaching Man", Robert De Niro, "Death Poetry Society."

In the introduction, the live camera shots were aimed at the five nominated candidates.

Kurt Russell opened the envelope and got everyone's appetite with Gotti Han. The couple finally announced at the same time: "The winner of the best actor is Dustin Hoffman." "Rainman", congratulations, this is Dustin's second Oscar."

Bang bang

Applause from the audience rang. When Dustin Hoffman stepped onto the stage, some people took the initiative to stand up, and the applause became more heated.Driven by those people, the rest of the hall also stood up, and the applause lasted for more than a minute before finally falling.

Dustin Hoffman and the Russell couple hugged each other, took the little gold man from Kurt Russell, came to the microphone, looked at the people who got up from the stage, and said: "Thank you, thank you everyone. "So saying, when the applause stops, everyone is seated again, Huffman shook the little gold man in the handshake and continued: "Seriously, it's not easy to get this award."

Everyone in the awards hall heard Dustin Hoffman say this, I don't know if he was deliberate, but many people laughed with'knowledge'.

"First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Michael Ovitz, the president of CAA. Without him, there is no "Rainman". This script has been prepared three years ago. During this period, it has been almost unsustainable many times. Whenever we think of this project When it is about to be stranded, Michael will always express his strongest support, and eventually everyone will be able to see the movie on the big screen. Secondly, I want to thank Barry, who took over the "Rainman" script after many directors have withdrawn. , It was he who created this film, and Tom, he was a great partner..."

Compared with the short speech time of the technical awards, Dustin Hoffman chatted for more than three minutes, telling the whole "behind the scenes" of "Rainman" from Michael Ovitz to Barry. Levinson’s royal editors have mentioned it, summing up how difficult the film’s creator is, how bumpy the birth of this project is, and how much contribution he has made to Rain Man.

Although Dustin Hoffman looked at the sky from time to time, and seemed to be a free form that was not in the state, but throughout the speech, he bypassed all the information related to Daenerys Entertainment very accurately.

In recent years, CAA has recruited a large number of top-tier Hollywood stars. Most of these stars are judges of Oscar actor awards. Coupled with their intertwined network, CAA's potential influence in actor awards is stronger than that of the old WMA. Many, not to mention Daenerys Entertainment, which was less than three years old.

As a result, Daenerys entertained everyone with anticipation of the immediate results.

However, listening to Dustin Hoffman's speech on the stage, Amy and others' faces were still a bit ugly.

Everyone knows that if Simon did not give the green light for "Rainman", this project might still be in a state of nowhere until now.Now, all the credit seems to fall on others in Huffman's words.

When Dustin Hoffman finally finished his speech and came to the background, everyone in the CAA family immediately gathered him up. Daenerys entertainment was just watching with cold eyes, and both parties were too lazy to make a courtesy.

In the end, there were only three awards for best actress, best director and best film. Ella Doichman whispered and asked if Amy would leave early.The award for best actress has nothing to do with Daenerys Entertainment. As for the other two, after the award for best actress, Deichman, whose confidence has been hit, no longer thinks that there will be any special changes.

Amy just shook her head, holding her arms and looking at the live TV screen in the background, quietly waiting for the final result.

Two months ago, the farce of the best actress'Three Yellow Eggs' at the Golden Globe Awards will naturally not happen on the Oscar. Judy Foster has won his first place with "The Pear of Robbery" just like the original time and space. Respecting the Oscars, the Hollywood actress who was born as a child star finally struggled to achieve a positive result after experiencing that big change.

WMA Vice President Jonathan Friedman, who was always in the background waiting for the award results, looked at Judy Foster who gave the award speech on the stage, and the mood was also low.

Judy Foster was also a WMA customer earlier.

The decline of WMA in these years has not been reversed because he discovered Simon Westero, a Hollywood genius teenager, and WMA customers continue to be lost.

Judy Foster was also dug in the process of changing the stars of another star of WMA, Ed Limato, led by Mel Gibson, Denzel Washington, Michelle Pfeiffer, etc. ICM.Then, in just one year, Judy Foster changed the previous lukewarm career status with "Robbery of Pears" and won the Oscar after she was 25 years old.

Thinking about it, Jonathan Friedman could not help but clenched his fist secretly.

Fortunately, this situation will soon not continue.

WMA President Norman Broca will leave soon.

Over the years, many of WMA’s brokerage clients have lost their ace customers, but Jonathan not only guarded big-name clients such as Brian de Palma, Robert Duvall, Billy Christo, and successfully signed Robert. A big coffee like De Niro has also cultivated first-line stars such as Sandra Bullock and Matt Dillon. Simon's rise in Hollywood is even more dazzling.

Therefore, Jonathan is almost the next presidential candidate for WMA, and he also takes this matter for granted.

This time, if the upper-level gang of old men continue to play trickery and hand over his position to others, Jonathan feels that this talent agency company that has lasted for more than half a century will be completely down, and he will not hesitate to choose go away.

In the live footage, Dennis Quaid and Michelle Pfeiffer stepped onto the stage, and Friedman regained his thoughts.

Even if he didn’t have too many expectations, Amy and others stared at the TV screen intently.

This is the penultimate award tonight, best director.

"A good director is like an excellent captain. He is the core and soul of the crew. Without the captain's guidance, it is difficult for any ship to sail to the right distance."

"I am honored to introduce to you the five'captains' tonight, and of course, no matter which of them wins, they will lose the light of others."

"Nominees for this year's Academy Award for Best Director are:"

"Mike Nicholson, "Working Girl";"

"Charles Crichton, "A Fish named Wanda;"

"Barry Levinson, "Rainman";"

"Alan Parker, "Mississippi is Burning";"

"Peter Will, "Death Poetry Society."

After taking turns to introduce the five nominees, Michelle Pfeiffer, wearing a big red V-neck evening dress, looked at the bottom of the stage with a wandering eye, but the movement in his hand did not stop, slowly but skillfully blind 'After the envelope, the card with the list of winners was drawn, and then he bowed his head.

Seeing the result of the award, there was a sudden flash of surprise on the face of the charming girl who had just been discharging, but she quickly smiled and showed the envelope to Dennis Quaid beside her.

Dennis Quaid made his debut in the 1970s, and it was only in the middle age that his career slowly began to improve.

Having been in Hollywood for many years, it is natural to know all kinds of gossip in the circle.

After glancing at the result of the award handed over by Michelle Pfeiffer, instead of showing a surprised expression, Dennis Quaid took the envelope and took it in his hand to look at it carefully and made a full gesture. Suspended everyone's appetite, and finally announced to the microphone that many people had already speculated but were not willing to believe the award results.

"The best director of this year's Oscar is Peter Will, "Death Poetry Club."

In the hall, applause rang after an obvious brief silence.

In the background of the ceremony, although Deichman did not get so distracted when he gave the best soundtrack this time, he still raised his hands and clenched his fists.

In the hall, the overjoyed Peter Will walked quickly to the stage.

Although the shots of the five candidates were cut out, the live camera shots were again swept to "Rainman" director Barry Levinson, and successfully captured Levinson's obvious unwillingness or even anger.

This is Barry Levinson's first nomination for best director, and obviously the most promising one.

At first, everyone was not optimistic about "Rainman". As a result, the film unexpectedly counterattacked, and the counterattack was unexpected, which is enough to prove the strong uncertainty of film production.

Missing the most promising chance of winning this time, it's hard to say whether Barry Levinson can get an Oscar again.

Be aware that both the media and the audience often compare a filmmaker's work when evaluating his work.Obviously, "Rainman" is already the pinnacle of Barry Levinson, and he is destined to make it difficult to produce a better film than "Rainman" in the future.

Unable to come up with works beyond "Rain Man", comparing the mentality and public opinion, even if he can be nominated again, the possibility of winning the award is very small.

Calm down and listen to Peter Will’s excited speech on the stage, whether it’s the lobby, the background of the ceremony, or the media reporters who are waiting for the results from the outside world. After some sorting, they gradually realize that Peter Will’s The reason for the award is actually clear.

Peter Weir has already been nominated for an Oscar for Best Director with 1985 "Eyewitness", which already has an advantage over Barry Levinson.Therefore, although the result of the award is somewhat unexpected by everyone, it is not too abrupt.

"Rainman" is a phenomenon-level movie, this is not false, but "Death Poetry Club" is also a very good excellent film.Moreover, the public relations offensive launched by Daenerys Entertainment during this award season can be described as sparing no effort.

"Rainman" is not too outstanding in terms of lens, editing and other technical aspects, so it is natural to miss the previous technical award.However, under the influence of an old-fashioned top scorer, Simon Westero's best score award has actually proved the public relations effectiveness of Daenerys Entertainment.

As for the "loss" of the best actor, it is mainly that Daenerys Entertainment has no other strong public relations objects in this regard.

With the "Death Poetry Club" Robert De Niro nominated for best actor, has won two Oscars for best actor before this award, which is already a limit for Hollywood actors.Unless De Niro can produce another super-phenomenon film that even surpasses "Rainman", normally, he wants to obtain his third Oscar, at least until ten or twenty years later .

On the other hand, Dustin Hoffman's performance in "Rainman" is as impeccable as the film itself, which is beyond doubt.

Therefore, although Daenerys Entertainment's PR target on De Niro thinned Huffman's votes, but in the case that the other three candidates outside of Huffman and De Niro were ineffective, De Ni It is impossible for Luo to win an award, and the ultimate award is taken for granted.

In this way, Dustin Hoffman's award cannot be regarded as the failure of Daenerys Entertainment.

Now, Peter Will of the "Death Poetry Society" has won the award for best director. After careful tasting, many people suddenly found that this year's Oscar, the secret battle between Daenerys Entertainment and CAA is still Daenery. Silk Entertainment is even better.

Dustin Hoffman just received an award that was very easy to get.

What Peter Will got right now is the result of the award after a fierce confrontation between Daenerys Entertainment and CAA.You should know that CAA, which has been operating in Hollywood for more than ten years, is powerful in terms of actors, and the network of directors should not be underestimated.

By comparison, Daenerys's disadvantages in shallowness are obvious.

Under such adversity, you can still get the award, plus Simon Westero himself the best soundtrack little goldman, which is enough to prove that Daenerys Entertainment's PR strategy has been a great success this year.

The news that Peter Will won the best director with the "Death Poetry Society" quickly spread. The award ceremony continued in the Holy Civic Auditorium, but it also reached the end.

The best film was awarded by Cher, the best actress winner of the last session.

This point can again be seen in the details of this Oscar. In addition to the absence of a host, the awarding guests did not award the best female host according to the previous best male host, and the best female host awarded the best male host. A traditional model.

There was no suspense in the final award result. "Rainman" successfully won the 61st Oscar for the best film.

Daenerys Entertainment has declared a total of two producers, one is Barry Levinson's royal producer Mark Johnson, and the other is Daenerys Entertainment's own spokesperson.Through this arrangement, Daenerys Entertainment will receive a small gold figure, displayed at the company headquarters as a permanent glory.

After the best film, the 61st Academy Awards ceremony ended successfully.

However, the aftermath of all this is just beginning.
