Billy Crystal may not be famous in China, but he is very famous in North America.
Film, television, host, producer, director can be said to be an all-rounder.
Before hosting the 63rd Academy Awards, Billy Crystal also hosted the 29th Grammy Awards in 1987. Since then, he has hosted three consecutive Grammy Awards. The last Academy Awards was also hosted by Billy Crystal.
Hosted by entruster.
After Billy Crystal came on stage, he used his unique opening remarks to directly enhance the atmosphere of the scene.
Wu Jianye sat below and applauded him.
In fact, award ceremonies all over the world are similar, with humorous opening remarks by the host and gorgeous performances. The only difference is the people attending the award ceremony.
Wu Jianye, who had participated in countless award ceremonies, was no longer interested in these things, and he himself was not interested in American humor.
However, there is still a bright spot in this Oscars, which is the invitation of Michael Jackson and Madonna, the two kings and queens of the music industry.
Michael Jackson wore a white suit and Madonna wore a white tube top dress. The two sat in the front row.
Although in the entertainment industry, the general value is that movie stars should be higher than singers, there are bound to be exceptions, and Michael Jackson and Madonna are such exceptions.
The popularity of these two people around the world is so high that they can no longer be simply classified as singers. They are now a cultural phenomenon.
The opening song and dance of this Oscar was performed by Michael Jackson!
ABC's TV cameras often capture the two of them, which shows how popular they are.
Wu Jianye sat there as if he were an ordinary audience member watching a performance. When everyone applauded, he applauded, and when everyone cheered, he cheered too. Anyway, he was just like everyone else.
Just like other award ceremonies, the first award is never the most important. Alec Baldwin, the male protagonist of "The Hunt for Red October" and his girlfriend, became the cover model of "Playboy" when they debuted at the age of 17.
Kim Basinger and Kim Basinger took to the stage to present the first award of this year's Oscars.
Best Original Score Award!
Speaking of the Academy Awards of this period, in Wu Jianye's opinion, there is really no way to compare them with those of later generations. There was only a small table on the stage with a microphone on it, and the two award presenters had to grab a microphone when they went up.
.......
First-time director Kevin Costner's film "Dances with Wolves" got off to a good start, winning the first major award at the 63rd Academy Awards.
Wu Jianye comforted his co-star Maurice Jarre with a few words. For this award, "The Last Love" was also shortlisted. Unfortunately, everything now is no different from Wu Jianye's memory. Maurice Jarre is still
Lost to John Barry!
The awards ceremony continued, with hosts and presenters taking turns, and Oscar awards being awarded one after another.
At the same time, in order to show attention to the most important award of Best Picture, there will be guests on stage to introduce the five films shortlisted for Best Picture this time!
They are "The Last Days", "Awakening", "The Godfather Part III", "Goodfellas", and "Dances with Wolves"!
Jeff Bridges, the bald villain in "Iron Man 1", introduced "The Godfather Part III", the first nominee for Best Picture this time!
Wu Jianye sat in the audience, not paying attention to what Jeff Bridges was saying. Instead, he was thinking about how long the acting life of American actors is. Jeff Bridges was already in his early 40s. By the time
He was 59 years old when he participated in "Iron Man", but the old and beautiful actor has a different feeling, the older he gets, the more enchanting he becomes!
Marvel movies have always liked this, using unknown actors for the lead roles, while the supporting roles, especially the villains, very much prefer actors who are famous and have acting skills. This should also be related to the production cost.
Just when Wu Jianye was thinking wildly, Whoopi Goldberg quietly left his seat next to him. This time, Whoopi Goldberg was not only nominated for the Best Supporting Actress award, but was also the award guest for the Best Sound Effects Editing.
!
The person who presented the award together with her was Andy Garcia, who later became the villain in "Ocean's 11".
The two appeared, one serious and the other funny, and the contrast was such that the audience laughed out loud.
The winner of the Best Sound Effects is still from "Dances with Wolves". This film has now won twice in a row. It has won the award for two consecutive nominations. The camera also focused its lens on "Dances with Wolves" in real time.
》The crew.
You can clearly see the smile on Kevin Costner's face on the big screen. The first movie he directed has been a success, so naturally he is very happy!
After the awards for best sound effects were presented, Whoopi Goldberg also returned to his seat, and Wu Jianye simply said hello to her.
The next thing to be awarded is the first important award of this Oscar!
Best Director Award!
Marshal Tom Cruise took the stage to serve as the award guest!
The crew of "The Last Night" and the crew of "Dances with Wolves" were not far apart, and Wu Jianye could clearly see the nervous look on Kevin Costner's face.
As the boss behind Phantom, Wu Jianye naturally knows how much public relations expenses Costner paid for this award. After all, half of it was paid by Phantom Pictures.
In fact, it is not easy for Costner to win this award. Just look at who his opponents are!
Francis Coppola of "The Godfather Part III" was one of the most famous directors in Hollywood in the 1960s and 1970s, and Martin Scorsese of "Goodfellas" is the uncrowned king of Oscars.
The other two directors are also masters, Stephen Frears of "A Thousand Times" and the Iranian director Babette Schroeder of "Reversal of Fortune".
Although the two of them didn't win many Oscars, they were both award-winning professionals at European film festivals!
So, Kevin Costner’s nervousness is not unreasonable!
However, according to Wu Jianye's opinion, there are actually few of his real opponents. Although these few are successful and famous, they are all very stingy when it comes to public relations fees. Kevin Costner spends money, which is really called spending money.
Running water!
Sure enough, under the influence of money power, Costner heard his name in Tom Cruise's mouth and jumped up excitedly!
After first hugging his fellow cast members, when Costner walked to the aisle, Wu Jianye also stood up and hugged Costner.
"Congratulations, you deserve it!" Wu Jianye smiled and patted Costner on the back, watching Costner walk onto the stage.
Next to me, Isabel Adjani looked at Costner walking on the stage and smiled and whispered to Wu Jianye: "How are you? Are you envious?"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "What is there to envy? If I really wanted to, I wouldn't be like you!"
After hearing this, Isabel Adjani also laughed.
Neither Wu Jianye nor Isabelle Adjani paid for public relations. Wu Jianye knew that according to the Oscar's rules, it would be impossible to award the Best Picture to himself, but Isabel Adjani didn't care about this.
Although the two of them no longer have that kind of relationship, they are still good friends, so there is nothing embarrassing about communicating.
When Costner came off the stage with the statuette, everyone once again gave their own applause.
Then came the presentation of the Science and Technology Awards and the performance of the children's choir. However, when the award-winning guests for Best Actress came on stage, many people still looked in the direction of Wu Jianye and Isabelle Adjani.
No way, the presenter of this award is Isabel Adjani’s ex-boyfriend Daniel Lewis!
Everyone naturally knows about the grievances between Wu Jianye, Isabel Adjani, and Daniel Lewis. It is also true that many people who have no chance of this award are thinking that if Isabel Adjani wins this award,
It will definitely be interesting to see Daniel Lewis receiving the trophy!
In fact, when Daniel Lewis came on stage, he saw Wu Jianye whispering to Isabel Adjani, but more than a year had passed since this incident, and the anger in his heart was not that great.
But now Daniel Lewis doesn't dare to compete with Wu Jianye. The success of "The Last Love" may have prevented him from feeling any fear of Wu Jianye, but now everyone knows how powerful the Phantom is, especially
It was due to the grievances with CAA some time ago that in less than a week, the once glorious and arrogant CAA was reduced to a historical noun.
The close cooperation between Wu Jianye and the Phantom is well known throughout Hollywood. Even Daniel Lewis knows that if he offends the Phantom, he may really be doomed!
So on the stage, it looks very satisfactory, but the winner is still not Isabel Adjani, but Kathy Bates of "Dangerous Days"!
In fact, these awards will not bring much benefit to some actors, but glory is something that not everyone can resist.
Although Kathy Bates won the Best Actress award, due to her own image problems in subsequent movies, she did not become a popular actress or an actress whose salary increased significantly.
Participate in the movie as a supporting actor.
Kathy Bates also played a supporting role opposite Sandra Bullock in "The Underbelly"!
The first and only award Wu Jianye was nominated for finally arrived, the Best Original Screenplay Award!
The awards were presented to the leading actors and actresses in this year's "The Silence of the Lambs". Jodie Fords and Anthony Hawke, who won next year's Academy Award for Best Actor for just over 20 minutes of performance in the play.
Pugins!
The two of them took the stage to present the award, which actually sounded like they were promoting "The Silence of the Lambs". In fact, this is already an unspoken rule of the Oscars. Most of the award presenters actually have the task of promoting their own movies.
"Anthony, when I see you, I will remember your performance in the movie before. I still shudder when I think of that scene!" Jodie Fords said with a smile.
Anthony Hopkins made a funny sound like in the movie. Through the microphone, it really made people feel chilling!
The image of Hannibal is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
After the two finished promoting "The Silence of the Lambs", they got down to business.
"Anthony, of the six screenwriters shortlisted this time, which one do you like the most?" Judy Fortes asked with a smile.
This is actually an offending question, but the two must have reviewed the script backstage, so there is no suspicion that Jodie Fortes deliberately dug a hole for Anthony Hopkins.
It can only be said that both of them are bolder!
Anthony Hopkins said with a smile: "Of these six screenwriters, the one I admire most is director Wu Jianye. In so many years in Hollywood, this is the first time I have seen such a talented director and screenwriter. Look at his writing.
Those movie scripts, no matter which one they were, caused a huge sensation in North America!"
The camera immediately cut to Wu Jianye, who was looking at the conversation between the two on the stage with a smile.
"Wow, aren't you afraid of offending people when you say that?" Judy Fords said exaggeratedly.
Anthony Hopkins smiled and said: "How come, you haven't heard me praise several other screenwriters. In my opinion..."
Then came the compliments to several other screenwriters.
As the two men finished their speeches, clips from five films began to play on the big screen.
Isabel Adjani asked softly: "How are you, are you nervous?"
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "There is an old saying in China, which is that if you win, you will lose your life. If you lose, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether you get this award or not. The box office of the movie has already explained a lot of problems!"
Isabel Adjani said dissatisfied: "I am most dissatisfied with you. Obviously your talent can make better movies, but you have to consider so many commercial factors!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Art can't fill my stomach!"
"You still won't be full!" Isabel Adjani said dissatisfied.
At this moment, warm applause suddenly erupted in the hall, and Wu Jianye also saw Bruce Robin, who was sitting not far from him, standing up excitedly!
Have you won an award?
Wu Jianye was also slightly startled.
There were two screenwriters for "The Love of Ghosts". When applying for the Oscar, Wu Jianye asked Linda to add Bruce Robin's name. Although he only provided a story, the real content of the screenplay was Wu Jianye
written.
But Wu Jianye knew that if it weren't for his Jie Hu, this honor would have been won by Bruce Robin himself!
Wu Jianye stood up with a smile.
But even so, in the eyes of everyone, Wu Jianye seemed to not pay much attention to this award.
But that is no longer important. At this time, many people have stood up and hugged Wu Jianye, and Bruce Robin's hugs have been reduced a lot.
Wu Jianye was sitting in the aisle, so after hugging everyone, he stood up. After Bruce Robin came out, the two of them walked hand in hand to the stage.
When he reached the first row, Michael Jackson stood up with an excited smile, grabbed Wu Jianye who was about to go on stage, hugged and congratulated: "I knew you would win the award!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said to Michael Jackson: "Thank you, let's talk again after the award ceremony is over!"
Naturally, the relationship between the two does not require excessive politeness.
At this time, Madonna, who was next to Michael Jackson, also stood up and hugged Wu Jianye to congratulate her.
Wu Jianye felt the surging waves of Madonna and expressed his gratitude. Poor Bruce Robin could only stand there quietly waiting for Wu Jianye.
After thanking the two, Wu Jianye and Bruce Robin walked onto the stage together!
