Chapter 1971： Standard ending
Hugo could not help holding his breath. At this moment, he inevitably became nervous, even more nervous than the two individual awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor, because Hugo clearly knows the end of the night. What it means. Especially after receiving the best original screenplay, the Golden Man, Hugo has a new understanding of the weight of this history.
According to the development direction of the wheel of history, or the development direction of the film industry, Wall Street’s invasion of Hollywood is an inevitable result, which has nothing to do with computer special effects, because as early as 30 years ago, the film industry was accompanied by the horizontal After its birth, Sora has truly become an important link in the economic industry chain. The upsurge of movies, theme parks, and peripheral products led by Disney has entered a new era due to the prosperity of "Star Wars".
All of this makes Hollywood's "interest" weight heavier and heavier. With the acquisition of MGM by Sony in 2005 for nearly 5 billion U.S. dollars, the last independent studio that followed the long history of Hollywood has also been declared to disappear completely, and Wall Street has truly become the master of Hollywood.
This process, which has spread violently for decades, is the same as the development process of the market economy, and it is an inevitable social development.
The success of "Independence Day" and the glory of "Titanic" only pushed the film industry to a whole new level and further catalyzed this process. The true value of these two works lies in making people aware of the effects of computer special effects. The important role of the film industry. This has also accelerated the progress of the "commoditization" of the film industry-after "Spiderman" achieved a box office victory in 2002. Really entered the era of blockbuster visual effects.
So, even if it is not "Independence Day", it is not "Titanic". There will be other works as this catalyst. It may be the "Future Water World", it may be the "Tornado", or it may be the "Jurassic Park". This is a historical inevitability, the unstoppable development direction of the torrent of the times, and this is the trajectory of the wheel that cannot be changed by human factors.
However, after visual effects became an important factor in the success of movies, Wall Street forces began to permeate all aspects of the film industry, and the creed of "profit first" made visual effects blockbusters the protagonist of the market. Corresponding. Script-based plot works are gradually being marginalized, and even developed to the point where they have completely become "awarding season works".
These feature films are hard to get the attention of major film companies. This has directly led to a sharp decline in excellent works, which in turn made audiences lose their interest in entering the cinema to watch, the box office fell and the profits were reduced, and the film companies were even more disheartened. Form a vicious circle. The resulting additional effect is that the number of truly excellent original scripts is rapidly decreasing, and screenwriters who are willing to concentrate on writing scripts often have no way to get ahead, and have to compromise with the market for their livelihoods, resulting in a further reduction in excellent works. This is the worst dilemma for the entire market.
The most direct example can be seen. After 2010, the best Oscar films are "The King's Speech (the.'h, "The Artist (the., "Escape from Tehran (, "Twelve years as a slave (12. years. a. slave, "Birdman (.
Objectively speaking, these five works are not the best works of the year. The script is not the best, the scheduling is not the most perfect, and the theme is not the most profound. Art is not the most outstanding, and it is not the most outstanding in combination. One of the common points of these five works is: political correctness-except for the "Birdman" who truly commends Hollywood's innovative spirit and self-deprecating people in the entertainment industry. The other four works are very similar, with a steady rhythm, a proper narrative, a calm perspective, and an eternal theme.
It's not that such works are bad, they are indeed excellent, but they are far from excellent, let alone classics.
In the same horizontal comparison, the five best films in the first five years of the 1990s are: "Dancing with Wolves", "The Silent Lamb", "Unforgivable", "Schindler's List" and "Forrest Gump". "Biography"-Except that "Dancing with Wolves" won the award for defeating the "good guy" and couldn't fully convince the crowd. Other works can be said to be well-deserved, and there is no doubt that. These five works have become masterpieces of film history, leaving an important note in the annals of history.
This is the embarrassment of the blockbuster era after entering the twentieth century. It is also the confusion and hesitation of Hugo after he won the best original script. He knew that he had no ability to change this history. He also knew that he had no obligation to bear this heavy burden. This is the weight of the entire industry and the entire history.
However, Hugo still couldn't help thinking: What if...just if, the trajectory of history has changed in this way? "L.A. Confidential" defeated the "Titanic" and won the Oscar statuette. Then the course of history may not be completely changed, but it can at least deviate slightly from the track. Will the future be different?
Just like the historical trajectory of rock and roll, when rock has gradually declined, when faith has gradually disappeared, the brilliance of grunge and new metal rock in the 1990s has become the last light in the night sky, and disappeared completely after it burst into glory; but Now, although Hugo can't say that it has completely changed history, history does have deviations. The development trajectory of new metal rock has changed, and the seeds of rock belief have sprouted again, and the future has once again become full of infinite possibilities.
Rock has accomplished this feat. Why can't the movie work? Glory to the death carried that banner, why didn't "L.A. Confidential" work?
Now, this possibility is not non-existent. On the contrary, the "L.A. Confidential" who has won three trophies is fully qualified to overturn the "Titanic"-only the best director in front of him is required. Award, everything is full of possibilities.
This little possibility caused Hugo’s muscles to tighten. He felt an unprecedented enthusiasm. The excitement and pleasure of overturning the "Titanic" with his own hands jumped in his sight and evolved into With a thin layer of mist, all the lights in front of me dizzy into wonderful spots, as if the whole world is blooming with brilliance.
Everyone focused their attention on the five best director nominees, and no one noticed Hugo's tightness at the moment, except Leonardo. Leonardo looked at the curve of Hugo’s tight jaw, and seemed a little confused, but vaguely caught some clues-what kind of stormy seas the confrontation between traditional and innovative will bring, Lai Leonardo could not foresee the future, but he could feel the pace of history approaching.
Inexplicably, Leonardo’s anxiety was completely calmed down, replaced by a little excitement. He didn’t know whether he was excited about the possible history of "Titanic", or he was excited that he finally touched the performance dream again. His original intention may be that he is excited to stand at the crossroads of history at this moment.
All the audience held their breath. In the United States, more than 59 million viewers turned on their televisions at the same time, focusing on this most important moment; and on a global scale, thanks to the “Independence Day” "And the "Titanic" bombarded for two consecutive years. At this time, the number of viewers has blatantly approached one billion, which may be second only to all TV shows in the world. The program of the Chinese New Year Gala!
Nearly 6,000 media workers in the media center all held their breath, all the noise disappeared in an instant, all eyes were on the TV screen, waiting for the result, waiting for success, waiting for failure, waiting for glory ...Waiting for the creation of history.
The tension that permeated caused a momentary pause in time and space. Even Anthony Minghella, who was standing on the stage, was infected. With his hands trembling slightly, he tried to open the envelope for the first time, but failed. . That kind of historical weight makes the light envelope in his hand heavier.
The attention of nearly one billion people around the world, and the historical process of the entire film industry for nearly a century, seems to have all been condensed on this envelope. That kind of weight is not controllable by ordinary people. Just relax a little bit, and it will Was completely overwhelmed by the rush of pressure.
Anthony did not jokingly joking about his mistakes, because the tension on the scene has made his breathing hot. Anthony can only try again, opened the envelope, took out the card inside, and then carefully read it three times. After confirming that he did not have vertigo, he let out a long breath.
"The winner of the 70th Oscar for Best Director is..." Anthony looked at the card in his hand again It seems that the brain has become a blank, just like a goldfish, forgetting He had only read the answer a few seconds ago, and then he said into the microphone, "James Cameron,'Titanic'."
There was a kind of deathly silence in the audience, and no one could react to it; the whole world seemed to be plunged into deathly silence at this moment, and even the slight breathing sound disappeared. Then, all emotions were released in an instant, and the cheers of the swaying mountains made the entire sacred auditorium begin to sway-truly shaking, the wheel of history began to turn again.
Hugo's heart stopped beating at that moment, and then completely stiff, but then he let out a long breath, because he knew that it was over and everything was over. History continues on its original trajectory. This is a process that no one can change. The victory of "Titanic" is not only a victory for James, but also a victory for Wall Street as a whole.
The 70th Oscar finally ended with a standard ending. James Cameron won the best director award for the first time with the "Titanic", and the ultimate award was also won by the "Titanic" strongly. This night, remembering history, came to an end in James' arrogant and arrogant roar:
I am the king of the world! (To be continued)
