() March 24, 2002 was the day when the 74th Academy Awards ceremony was held. Wang Zixuan, Emma, and Rupert, along with Columbus and other crew members, attended the ceremony. "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"
" was nominated for a total of three Oscars, namely Best Art Direction - Stuart Clegg, Best Costume Design - Judiana Makovsky, and Best Score - John Williams
S.
According to the historical plot, Wang Zixuan knew that "Harry Potter" basically failed to receive any Oscars this year, although "The Lord of the Rings", the first of the three "Lord of the Rings" films, did not have the box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"
High, but in terms of reviews and awards, it is much better than "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". It won the 74th Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, Best Makeup, Best Visual Effects, and Best Score.
With 4 major awards in hand, he stole the show.
What makes Wang Zixuan and the others regretful is that although "Harry Potter" was filmed in the UK, it did not win any awards at the British Film Awards. I don't know if it is irony or something, but in short, in terms of awards, "Harry Potter"
You will face a rather embarrassing situation.
It seems that Columbus is not very ideal about winning the award. He brought Zixuan and others here mainly to let them feel the atmosphere of the Oscars. To a certain extent, "Lord of the Rings" is more meaningful than "Harry Potter", and "Harry Potter"
"Potter" only has a slight advantage in fantasy, and is full of magical scenes that attract many viewers.
If we talk about the best film this year, Wang Zixuan undoubtedly thinks it is "Beautiful Mind". This is a very human drama film by a real genius. The excellent plot allows everyone to enjoy a spiritual sublimation, like a dose of soul.
Chicken soup enriches people's emotions.
"Harry Potter", although it is a big magical production, people can't find anything of real meaning in it, but it has the power of magic and fantasy to conquer the audience who appreciate it, but you find that after watching it
After this film, I will not have any emotional outbursts except fantasy. This is why it did not win the award. Compared with awards and other awards, the "Harry Potter" series of films play more like roles.
It's a money-making machine.
Spielberg and Haley Joel Osment also came to the Oscars. Their "Artificial Intelligence" is also a very good film. Speaking of which, there are many classic films this year, such as "Gosford Park", "
Movies such as "Moulin Rouge", "Black Hawk Down", "Alice", "Monster's Ball", "Monsters, Inc.", "Shrek", etc. are all well-received movies.
Spielberg took Haley to Wang Zixuan, first gave Columbus a hug, then pulled Haley to Wang Zixuan and said: "Okay, children, now you have a good opportunity to ease the previous relationship.
They are all very good children, and it is better to be friends than enemies. You are all talents that I admire, so I hope to see your reconciliation."
Wang Zixuan glanced at Hailey. Although he disliked him, Spielberg still had to give him face, otherwise there would be problems with future cooperation. He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, stretched out his right hand and said: "Hi
, Hello, I’m Robert, you’re doing quite well in artificial intelligence and it’s worth learning from me.”
"Haha..." Spielberg smiled with satisfaction, patted Haley on the shoulder, and said: "Look, I just said that this little guy Robert is easy to get along with. Let's reconcile quickly. Robert's hand of friendship has been extended."
Come out."
Haili smiled nonchalantly and stretched out his right hand to shake Wang Zixuan's hand, and said: "Hello, I'm Haili. Thank you for your compliment. I think you should really learn more about filming. Di will make you more
There is progress.”
"Okay, thank you for your suggestion, I will do it..." Wang Zixuan squeezed Haili's hand hard, then let go and said with a smile.
Haili stared at Wang Zixuan hatefully, shook his hand, and then gritted his teeth and said, "You're welcome..."
Spielberg never noticed the little thoughts between the two. His kindness only made the relationship between the two more subtle. They already disliked each other, so there was no way they could have any good feelings.
"OK, I wish you the award..." Spielberg patted Haley on the shoulder and left.
Rupert grinned at Hailey's background and said: "I really don't like him, Robert, work hard and surpass him..."
Wang Zixuan nodded: "Huh, I know, I will surpass him soon. A handsome man like me will be overtaken by a scumbag like him..."
Emma pinched Wang Zixuan's cheek and said: "Hehe, you are still a boy, you are one step away from being a man..."
Wang Zixuan looked embarrassed and said, "Well, don't pinch my cheek. It's not good if someone sees you..."
"Well, I know, don't worry, I will be able to fulfill your desire to be a man in a few years..." Emma whispered into Wang Zixuan's ear.
"Gulu..." Wang Zixuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling that his lips were dry, it was too tempting.
Soon, the Oscar ceremony began. Host Whoopi Goldberg took the microphone and walked onto the stage with a smile and said: "Today's Oscars may be the most confusing. There are too many classics, from feature films to documentaries.
From fantasy films to cartoons, one after another classics were born this year, such as the touching and thought-provoking "A Beautiful Mind", the magical "Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", "Shrek",
"Monsters, Inc." is also outstanding for its humanistic cartoons. In short, this is a year full of classic films, and what troubles us the most is that there is only one award..."
Everyone nodded, and it was true. Too many classic films made their hearts beat wildly. The release of each classic allowed them to enjoy a visual feast. Unlike the big-budget films in the previous life, the films now are more
Focus on quality.
"First of all, tonight's first award is presented. Who is the winner of Best Picture? Let's take a look at the five nominated films: "A Beautiful Mind," "Gosford Park," and "Unfaithful Love."
", "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", "Moulin Rouge", oh, they are all classic films, so who will finally win the first award tonight? Let us take a look at the details of these films before the list is announced.
Colorful pieces..."
Soon some classic clips from five films flashed on the big screen, which touched the hearts of all the audience. The directors and starring actors of the five films on the guest stage were also very nervous. At this moment, their hearts might beat faster.
A lot.
Rupert curled his lips and said: "Why not us? Our film is also very good. I think we should be nominated..."
Columbus shook his head, patted Rupert on the shoulder, and said: "The choice of Oscars does not depend on the box office of the movie. Although "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" did top the global box office last year, it is different from other films full of movies.
Compared with the films on the philosophy of life, it is still much inferior. Compared with the philosophy of life of "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter" is more devoted to the fantasy and mysterious magical world, but the philosophical meaning cannot be found."
"Well, that's true. Although the Oscars have the characteristic of 'going with the trend', they do not all focus on the box office, but analyze it from a more rational perspective, just as Columbus said.
, "Harry Potter" focuses on fantasy adventure..." Wang Zixuan nodded.
Emma pushed Wang Zixuan lightly, pouted and said: "Can't you say something nice? Don't you want us to win the award?"
"Okay... I also hope that we will win the award. This year's Oscar judges may have lost their minds. I think next year they will be more awake and award the award to us. Maybe Emma will become the best actress..." Wang Zixuan revealed
He said with his hands, helpless, the world is big and Emma is the biggest.
Emma nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's pretty much it..."
Then one award after another was awarded, and these awards had nothing to do with Wang Zixuan and the others. Not winning any of the three nominated awards was a huge disappointment to the "Harry Potter" crew. Columbus and the others were not in a good mood, and Emma's little
His mouth was almost unsteady, pouting all the time, and his anger was obviously written clearly on his face.
In the end, Wang Zixuan could only end up with regrets. The box office champion film did not win an Oscar. This was even more like a huge irony. Columbus even regretted attending the Oscars. If he had known better, he would have continued filming "Harry Potter" in the UK.
Porter" is catching up on progress.
…
Back at the hotel, Wang Zixuan and Mary Jane met. The filming of "Happiness Terminal" will soon come to an end. Mary Jane reported to Wang Zi
As her first film in the industry, Mary Jane naturally put a lot of effort into it.
Although Wang Zixuan gave Spielberg full responsibility for the filming of the film, Mary Jane still felt uneasy. She had to keep an eye on the filming process of "The Terminal" every day. Of course, besides these things, there were many things worth her busy work.
, because "Naruto" was released in Japan, Mary Jane opened an animation production and distribution company in Japan and recruited local personnel to produce animations.
The release of "The Terminal" is also a problem. Although Spielberg, a gold medal director, is the star, the quality of the film cannot be improved. Many companies are willing to show the film in their theaters, but the issue of sharing requires Mary
Jane came to do it. Thanks to her coming from a British aristocratic family, she has some potential for business, otherwise she would have been unable to start. (To be continued.)
