In the Kodak Cinema, Zhou Runfa looked at Shao Shuaijun and asked, now is the critical moment for awarding awards. Although "Inception" has eight nominations, the only ones related to Shao Shuaijun are for Best Original Screenplay and Best Picture.
To say he is not nervous is nonsense. Shao Shuaijun feels his heartbeat is very, very fast now, and there is a kind of throbbing like a condom jumping out of his chest. When he heard Zhou Runfa asking, Shao Shuaijun tried his best to keep it up, making himself look more calm: "
What’s the point of being nervous? I’m lucky if I get it, and I’m lucky if I lose it. If I don’t take it this year, I’ll come and get it sooner or later.”
The two people were talking in Chinese. Scarlett Johansson next to them didn't understand, but she guessed it and asked with a smile: "Oh, boy, your hands are shaking."
"How could that happen?" Shao Shuaijun awkwardly took his hand away from the back of the chair. Although he did not tremble just now, he was holding on to the back of the chair tightly. One glance showed that this was a sign of nervousness.
"The winner for Best Original Screenplay is..."
Shao Shuaijun could no longer care about Scarlett's teasing and sat stiffly in his chair.
"The winner is "Juno", congratulations to Diablo Cody."
There was a burst of applause, and the screenwriter of "Juno" stood up with a look of disbelief on his face. Shao Shuaijun suddenly lost all his strength, leaned back in his chair, forced a smile, and clapped his hands and applauded along with everyone.
"Director Shao, it's okay. Hollywood has always followed a literary and artistic path. Especially this year, the awards are all literary and artistic films. You will have many opportunities in the future." Zhou Runfa comforted him.
"Yes, there is also the best picture." Everyone comforted.
Shao Shuaijun dealt with them one by one with a smile. Scarlett suddenly came closer and whispered in Shao Shuaijun's ear: "Shao, in my mind, you are the best. You know, I have always thought so. Even if you have already
I have someone." After saying that, she blinked her eyes, her charm was full of a different kind of desire.
Shao Shuaijun was stunned for a long time before he said: "Thank you."
"What are you talking about?" Leonardo stretched his head and asked. Today he came here purely with the crew to make soy sauce. This year, he only had one movie, "Inception", which did not receive any nominations.
"It's nothing, I'm just comforting Shao's broken heart." Scarlett said with a smile.
"It's already a great honor to be nominated. I have worked hard in Hollywood for more than ten years, and I can only watch others win the Oscar one after another. Winning the award is just the icing on the cake. If it can be recognized by the audience, the film has already been successful.
"Leonardo is also quite depressed. Some of his movies have high box office, some have high reputation, and some are widely praised for his acting skills. However, he has never been able to win an Oscar and has not been able to win a statuette.
"I'm used to not winning awards. I've been making movies for more than four years, but I haven't won any major awards. Yesterday was my first time to win the director award, and I'm happy enough." Shao Shuaijun laughed self-deprecatingly.
The original script is just a small episode, and screenwriters have always been ignored, whether in the Mainland or Hollywood. Otherwise, there would not have been a three-month Hollywood screenwriters' strike last year. The Oscar ceremony was even almost canceled, although reluctantly
Although it was held, the previous Golden Globe Awards ceremony and the subsequent Vanity Fair dinner were still cancelled.
If today were not the 80th anniversary of the Oscars, tonight's awards ceremony would probably have to be cancelled, and the list of winners could only be announced on TV or in newspapers. At that time, it would be more tragic than losing an original screenplay. Such a rare one
A chance to show your face.
"It's not bad to win a Golden Raspberry Award. At least I won't feel bad if I throw it away."
The awards ceremony is very lengthy. In order to pay tribute to the past eighty years, almost every important award must be reviewed in the past. When the supporting actor, actor and actress and best director awards were handed out, it was already eleven o'clock
More, it lasted for more than four hours.
I went to the toilet more than once.
As the Oscars, which attract worldwide attention, even though the awards ceremony is very glamorous, you still have to queue up to go to the toilet. After taking advantage of the commercial time to satisfy his physiological needs, Shao Shuaijun returned to his seat and used a pretentious and relaxed tone to conceal his appreciation for the best film.
eagerness and nervousness.
"It's the last award, who do you think will win it? I think it's No Country for Old Men, what do you think?"
Zhou Run laughed and said: "I feel like "Inception"."
"I think so too." Gyllenhaal nodded.
Leonardo raised his thumb: "There is a high possibility that it is "Inception"."
"Are you all so sure? Scarlett, what do you think?" Shao Shuaijun asked in disbelief.
Scarlett laughed and said: "Of course, we all know the excellence of "Inception". It is so excellent. No matter whether it wins an award or not, it is the best movie."
"Thank you for your encouragement. In fact, I also think "Inception" is great. Of course, I am very relaxed personally whether I win an award or not."
Even so, when it came time to award the Best Picture award, Shao Shuaijun still couldn't calm down. His hands holding the back of the chair were slightly white with knuckles. Leonardo and others were also nervously waiting for the Best Picture award.
It's not an individual award, it's the greatest reward for everyone on the crew.
After the award presenter finished his speech, which he thought was humorous, but in fact no one cared about it, the trailers of the nominated films began to play on the big screen. Looking at the trailers, Shao Shuaijun's palms sweated nervously, and every second seemed like a century.
.
"Winning Best Picture is..."
The camera panned back and forth between several film crews, basically everyone was serious, waiting for the award presenter to announce.
Netizens as far away as China are also waiting nervously.
“The winner is No Country for Old Men!”
Feeling hugely disappointed, Shao Shuaijun smiled bitterly and clapped.
Sure enough, what he said was right. The winner was "No Country for Old Men," a black film. Commercial films like "Inception" were here to act as supporting actors. The Oscars took a literary route. This year
Especially so.
Amidst the applause, some were happy and some were sad, and the most lengthy and boring Oscar session came to an end.
There is no Vanity Fair banquet tonight, so the stars can gather together and enjoy a luxurious night.
Therefore, as soon as the show ended, the disappointed people hurried home, while those who won awards were interviewed by reporters outside.
Shao Shuaijun did not win an award, but "Inception" won three technical awards. It can be said that it reached the limit of business. There were many media who wanted to interview him. Especially the media from China, they waited most of the night.
After finally waiting until the show was over, they suddenly swarmed towards Shao Shuaijun and Zhou Runfa.
"Director Shao, can you tell us how you feel now that "Inception" has won four awards?"
"Director Shao Shao missed the best original screenplay and best picture, and did not take the opportunity to go on stage to accept the award. What do you want to say to the fans who support you?"
"Director Shao..."
