Hollywood New Century

Chapter 161: just the beginning

The 80th Academy Awards Ceremony was not very successful in terms of the awards ceremony. After all, the preparation time was a little short, and I was worried about the writer's strike.

It took almost 30 minutes to recall the previous Oscars at the beginning. Simon sighed helplessly, thinking that the audience rating of this Oscars ceremony was going to hit a new low.

Simon sat with the cast of No Country for Old Men, and next to Simon was Jessica Alba, host and presenter of the Academy Awards for Science and Technology at the Academy Awards.

"Jessica, your remake of the American version of "Damn" seems to be pretty good, and the performance is still mature," Simon did not have much requirements for a vase like Jessica Alba, just like Megan Fox , it's good to be responsible for being **** and beautiful in the movie.

But Jessica Alba seems to be doing better than ever with "The Hell," released by Lionsgate earlier this month.

"Really? I also feel that this movie is different from the previous ones. I felt it when I was shooting," Jessica Alba also knows her situation, but who wants to be a vase for life?

Simon nodded, and then looked at Oscar's stage again, but his mind became active again.

It is only the end of February, and there is not much news from Hollywood. Warner Bros. Pictures turned to the BD-DVD camp, and finally became the last straw to crush the HD-DVD camp headed by Toshiba. Toshiba announced the end of HD-DVD. .

Blu-ray HD DVD led by Sony has finally unified the HD DVD market!

At the same time, two days ago, the new-generation actor Heath Ledger in Australia died in a hotel while serving drugs. He just finished filming "The Dark Knight" last year, and the Joker became an absolute noise.

Simon, who was leaning on his chair, was staring at the Oscar stage, but he had too many things to think about. With the rise of online streaming media, Netflix has already divested its DVD business. Now Netflix's stock price has fallen, and it will soon be The outbreak of the financial tsunami, Netflix's stock price will continue to fall;

Film production, TV production, online media, record companies, film and television distribution, there are so many things to perfect, not to mention the future of interactive entertainment, the consumer goods sector and even movie theme parks and resorts.

Xinghai Entertainment doesn't even have any TV networks that it has invested in, whether it's TVB or some TV stations or pay TV.

"The best actress is Marion Cotillard in La Vie Rose!" last year's Oscar winner Forest Whitaker announced the best actress at the Oscars.

Simon also applauded. After all, he had seen it when he was in France. He smiled and said, "Currently, the only French actress has won the Oscar for Best Actress. "La Viejo" is still a foreign language film!"

"It's good that Cate Blanchett is nominated for both lead actress and supporting actress this year," Jessica Alba said, clapping her hands.

"Next is the key point!" When the Oscars were coming to an end, Simon had to pay attention to the awards ceremony. Next is the important awards, right?

"No Country For Old Men has won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor!" Jessica Alba said, patting Simon's knee.

The Oscar for Best Actor will be awarded next. The shortlisted actors include George Clooney in "Total Counterattack". Simon pouted. Although "Total Counterattack" has also won 7 nominations, it has not yet been nominated. Didn't get an award.

Anthony Minghella and Sidney Pollack are also producers on the film, along with George Clooney and his longtime partner, famed director Steven Soderbergh, of course.

Anthony Minghella and Sidney Pollack, the producers of "Life and Death", stayed in Germany and started post-editing after the filming ended last year because of their poor health.

Simon Parker was also worried that the two old people were not in good health, so he was also very concerned about "Life and Death".

When last year's Oscar winner Helen Mirren shouted that the winner was Daniel Day-Lewis of "There Will Be Blood", Simon also looked in George Clooney's direction.

"Second time to win the Oscar for Best Actor," Jessica Alba said with admiration, as if Marion Cotillard had just won the Oscar.

"Heath Ledger, like him, is an experiential actor and likes to integrate himself into the role he plays. Playing the clown in "The Dark Knight" made him depressed, which is a pity!" Simon still has a little bit of experience in the actor. Fear, after all, if the quality is not enough, people may fall into the role and cannot extricate themselves.

"Oh, I actually like Brokeback Mountain starring Heath Ledger. It's such a pity that the acting is so good!" Jessica Alba also sighed.

The guest presenting the best director at the Oscars was director Martin Scorsese, who was also last year's best director at the Oscars.

"No Country for Old Men won the 80th Academy Award for Best Director, the Coen brothers!"

"Clap clap clap!" The fierce applause sounded immediately, this is the best director.

Simon and the Coen brothers hugged, one tall, one short, one curly, one afro, "Congratulations!"

"Simon, No Country for Old Men has won the Best Director, and the Best Picture is about to be awarded next!" Jessica Alba was also a little nervous at the moment, but looking at Simon's flat expression, she was also puzzled.

"Look, the two directors are now holding the trophy for Best Adapted Screenplay and the other holding the Best Director trophy. It is estimated that they won't have to step down after a while, just wait backstage," Simon smiled, as did the Coen brothers The producer of the film is qualified to speak on stage!

Finally, the Oscar ceremony ushered in the final award, the Oscar for Best Picture, presented by Denzel Washington.

After an opening remarks, Denzel Washington smiled: "Okay, the 80th American Film Institute's Best Picture nominations are "Total Counterattack", "There Will Be Blood", "No Country for Old Men"..."

"The winner is Xinghai Pictures, No Country for Old Men!" Denzel Washington shouted.

"Oh!" The entire "No Country for Old Men" crew stood up and applauded, taking turns to hug and congratulate Simon.

"As a Hollywood genius, Xinghai Pictures founded by young Simon Pike has been nominated for Best Picture Oscar for three times. His company is much younger than him, but now it is the representative of Hollywood independent films!" The host's words The sound from the outside sounded.

Simon Pike walked all the way to the front desk, and the audience along the way would congratulate him. The prolonged applause didn't stop until Simon walked onto the stage and hugged the Coen brothers from the backstage!

Simon stood in front of the microphone, looked at the audience below with a smile for about half a minute, and then said, "Thank you to the judges of the academy, to all the crew members, and to the fans who like this movie. This moment is really wonderful!"

"However, this is just the beginning!"
