Chapter 1154： Good show debut

"'Pulp Fiction,' Sally Monk."

Only when Steve Martin’s voice sounded, Quentin jumped up exaggeratedly, jumping on the spot like a child; it was just a beat, until Steve’s words were completely spoken. After that, Hugo and Cameron also stood up along with the movements of all the other spectators in the audience.

Hugo's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment and surprise, his inner turbulence was stronger than anyone else, because Hugo not only knew that "Pulp Fiction" did not win this award in history, it just got the best. Recognition of original scripts; even more because Hugo also knows that this is not the time for independent films to make breakthroughs.

It has been difficult for an independent film company like Miramax Pictures to have any advantage in the Oscars, although there have been top independent film companies like Orion Pictures (.) before that, they have produced "Field Platoon", "Dancing with Wolves", "The Silent Lamb" and other outstanding works that won the best Oscars, but their distribution has been cooperating with Warner Bros.-in the final analysis, the public relations of large film companies are playing effect.

This is also the reason why the eight major film companies can be called "top large companies". Not only do they occupy more than 60% and 70% of the market share, but they also have absolute advantages in Oscars, video distribution channels and other fields, not to mention their huge connections within the college.

Independent film production companies can produce wonderful works, but they do not have enough distribution channels to support them to further promote their works, and they do not have strong publicity capital to make a breakthrough at the Oscars.

The first work to break this situation was the "British Patient" who ruled the roost at the 69th Oscars, which was also a work from Miramax Films; but the weakness of independent production companies has been after entering the 21st century. It has been completely reversed. Thanks to the emergence of multi-channel publicity methods such as DVDs and the Internet, many independent films can have their own promotion channels even if they do not cooperate with large film companies, and then achieve good results at the Oscars.

Even if it is a "British patient", it will be two years later, at least not now, not "Pulp Fiction".

According to the historical trajectory, it was the powerful influence of "Pulp Fiction" that opened up the situation for independent film production companies, and Miramax Films, which launched this work, rose rapidly—and was acquired by Disney, thus There was a victory for the "British Patient". From this perspective, the breakthrough of the "British Patient" is not the first in history, because Disney's role still cannot be ignored, although in fact it is the Weinstein brothers who really contributed.

Today's Hollywood has become a film industry. Any change, breakthrough, or progress is the development and promotion of the times, and it is driven by internal and external reasons. It is impossible to change inexplicably. This is the essence of history.

So "Pulp Fiction" has now made a further breakthrough. What does this show? Does it mean that the breeze flapping the wings of this little butterfly Hugo has unknowingly formed a hurricane?

If Hugo remembers correctly, if you follow the historical trajectory, "Forrest Gump" should have won the best editing award. But now, "Pulp Fiction" relies on unparalleled influence and is in a melee. Won this little golden man. Does that mean that the trend that follows tonight may also change? The direction of history is really interesting.

While thinking about it, Quentin rushed over and gave Hugo a hard hug, and then walked over without waiting for Hugo to react, but after seeing Tom Hanks in front of him Quentin realized that in the past, it was not a friend, but a competitor. Quentin slammed the brakes, and then gave Hugo a big hug again to hide his embarrassment.

Hugo couldn't help but laughed at Quentin's exaggerated celebration, and temporarily cleared the thoughts in his mind, and gave his own applause to Sally who walked onto the stage to pick up the Little Golden Man.

For the guests on the scene, for the audience in front of the TV, they do not have the complicated ideas of Hugo, but they all know that "Pulp Fiction" is making history, and they are witnesses of history!

After looking forward to it for a long time, tonight's awards ceremony finally started to be exciting.

In the ensuing competition for the best adapted screenplay, "Forrest Gump" finally won the first important award tonight. It defeated "Shawshank's Redemption", "Behind-the-Scenes Lies" and "No one is a fool." After "and "Crazy King George", he valiantly took off this little golden man from a duel of strong hands.

Hugo, who got his first nomination for best adapted screenplay, also missed his first screenwriter, Little Golden Man.

Relatively speaking, although the competition for the best original script is fierce, "Bullets over Broadway", "Four Weddings and a Funeral", and "The Red of Blue, White and Red Trilogy" are not weak, but even so, "Pulp Fiction" "The victory is still expected. No matter from which point of view, "Pulp Fiction" is the biggest discovery in 1994. Quentin's ingenious design and conception of scripts can be said to have inspired countless screenwriters and directors.

Some people even ridicule that even if the ten nominations for best adapted screenplay and best original screenplay are superimposed, the final winner should still be "Pulp Fiction."

Therefore, the award of "Pulp Fiction" received unanimous applause from the audience!

The award ceremony really became more and more exciting. "Pulp Fiction" won two heavyweights. "Forrest Gump" also beat "Shawshank's Redemption" among the best adapted screenplays. The number of trophies On the previous page, "Pulp Fiction" and "Forrest Gump" have caught up with "Life and Death" and "The Lion King", and are tied for the most award-winning works so far tonight.

"Shawshank's Redemption", who had fallen behind several positions from the starting stage, obviously had insufficient influence, and even many college judges had not seen this work at all, and fell completely inferior in the face-to-face duel. But at this moment, it is still impossible to assert the result. "Shawshank's Redemption" can surpass a group of competitors at the last moment, not only being nominated, but also going hand-in-hand with "Pulp Fiction", which left suspense for the final result.

Even Hugo began to get excited. He couldn't help but become curious. He was hailed by countless people as the strongest 67th Oscar since the 1990s. Will history really change?

However, at least the winner of the best director has not changed. The director of "Forrest Gump" Robert Zemigis was nominated for the first time in his career, and he picked off the statuette in one fell swoop. Compared with the present, he is still struggling to pursue it. For Martin Scorsese of the Petty Goldman, there is undoubtedly too much luck. This is the reason why the right time and place are indispensable for winning prizes.

Robert relied on the unique "Forrest Gump" to get the Oscar for Best Director Golden Man, but ironically, this is also the only Golden Man in his entire director career-and the only nomination, although he also dedicated his "Wild" Dao Yusheng (cast.away, "flight ( and other good works, but compared to his directing ability, actors have always attracted attention.

Objectively speaking, Robert is not a talented director, and the director skills of "Forrest Gump" can only be said to be smooth, but this is the Oscar. He launched a correct work at the right time, so he achieved it. A success that no one else can match.

Compared to famous figures like Woody Allen, Krzysztof Kieslovsky, and Robert Redford, Quentin Tarantino, who turned out, is only the first time Win the nomination-this is actually the same as Robert, but more people are grappling with Quentin's defeat.

After the announcement of the most important Best Director Award, a bargaining chip was added to "Forrest Gump", and now the trend of the entire award ceremony has gradually become clear. Whether it’s the “Shawshank’s Redemption” for nothing, or the “Pulp Fiction” in the hands of the two important towns, or the “Forrest Gump” with a slight advantage, wanting to win the best film, The best actor must be won!

Once the best actor is missed, it will be a difficult situation for the three works to compete for the best film: "Shawshank's Redemption" will be completely out of the game empty-handed; "Pulp Fiction" of poor background and unreliable subject will be sentenced Death penalty; "Forrest Gump" who won the third prize tremblingly, they can only expect that even if the winner is not themselves, it is best not to be two direct competitors, otherwise the chances of winning will plummet.

With the gradual advancement of the award ceremony, it is indeed a good show. Even the "Shawshank's Redemption", which has not won a first prize so far, still retains the last hope, not to mention the "Pulp Fiction" and "Forrest Gump" that have been competing to the death. "The main story", as expected before the awards ceremony, the three-legged pattern detonated all the hot spots.

Under such circumstances, the Best Actress Department, which has been "abandoned" by the best picture nominees, just like the Best Supporting Actress department, seems to be disappointed.

Jessica Lange (.lange) of "Heart's Indulgence (blue. UU Reading sky, Judy Foster of "Nell's Heart", Milan of "Tom and Vive" Da Richardson, Winona Reid of "Little Women", and Susan Saran of "Ultimate Witness" entered the final competition.

The topicality of the five works is not enough, and the only "ultimate witness" that can attract the attention of the audience is barely counted as one; the comprehensive strength of the five works is not enough, even if it is expanded to the shortlist of the best film for the Golden Globe Awards Among them, only "Niel's Heart" barely won the nomination; most importantly, the performances of the five nominees this year were not deep and solid enough, and the nomination was not very convincing.

The work is weak, the performance is weak and the topic is weak. Compared with the three-legged hot scene, the battle for the best actress is indeed uninteresting. In the end, Jessica Lange won her second statuette—she once won the best supporting actress statuette at the 55th Oscars by relying on "Mr. Duss", and this is also her five previous and subsequent appearances. The first aspiration after the nomination!

Although the persuasiveness is still slightly weaker, Jessica still received the treatment of a standing ovation from the audience and paid high respect to the actress who has dedicated countless masterpieces.

Later, the winner of the Best Actor Award will be announced soon!
