Chapter 299 The 70th Oscars 4
The award ceremony is approaching its end, and only the Best Director and Best Film have not been awarded. Although "Titanic" won ten Little Golden Man and was the absolute big winner, it lost the most important supporting actress, Best Actress and Best Actor. If you win nothing in these two awards, no matter how many technical awards you win, it cannot be compensated.
As long as the Titanic wins another Golden Man, it will tie the winning record of "Ben Hur". If the last two awards are won, it will become the first in the Oscar history.
Everyone knew this very well. The award ceremony had entered the most fierce stage of competition. Everyone around Ryan, including James Cameron and Nicole Kidman, subconsciously clenched their fists, and some people were still muttering words, as if begging for God's blessing.
As the main competitor, the crew of "Los Angeles City Secret" is not much better. In addition to winning the best supporting role, they will lose as long as they encounter "Titanic".
Now is the opportunity to turn things around. If you can win the Best Director and Best Picture, "Los Angeles Secret" will still be the biggest winner tonight.
The air in the Temple Grand Theater seemed to feel the tension, solidified and sticky, and the theater was silent, watching Warren Beatty, who was the guest of the awards, walked onto the stage.
"James, you look serious." Ryan lowered his voice and joked.
"This is the best opportunity. If you want to get the next nomination, you don't know how many years you have to wait." Even a director like James Cameron, who is purely business-oriented, also attaches great importance to the Oscar Little Golden Man.
As a famous playboy...well, no, a veteran in the circle, Warren Beatty knows what the audience cares most now, and without any extra words, he directly issued the nominee for the best director.
"Peter Catanuer "The Six Heroes of Light Pigs", Steven Soderberger "Irene Brockevich", Curtis Hanson "Los Angeles Secret", Gus Van Sant "The Catcher of the Heart", James Cameron "Titanic"..."
Warren Beatty opened the envelope very simply and said without any hesitation, "The winner of the best director is James Cameron's "Titanic"!"
“Wow~”
Ryan clenched his fists and waved hard. Not only was he the Best Director, but he almost won the award behind him.
When his name sounded, James Cameron shook his head very individually, and after kissing Linda Hamilton, he stood up. He was the first to find Ryan. The two of them slapped each other and celebrated, and the crisp sound even went far away.
"Jim. You're a genius!"
"I think so too."
James Cameron had no intention of being modest. He slapped the crowds one by one to celebrate. Nicole Kidman, Jon Landau, Billy Zane and others sent their blessings one after another.
When he walked towards the stage, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kate Winslet and others who were sitting in the front row gave hugs one after another.
"The show has begun."
After watching Cameron take the Little Golden Man from Warren Beatty, Ryan smiled extremely happily.
"What a good show?" Nicole was a little surprised.
"Don't forget, Jim is a arrogant maniac. Now he won the best director. Nicole, guess what he will say?"
It seems that in order to cooperate with Ryan and James Cameron's award speech came, "The judges of the academy, all the people on the earth, thank you. Thank you!"
After thanking the crew members and family regularly, Cameron fulfilled his promise, "Before the ceremony, I said, if I can win the best director, I will thank someone first, but now I put you to the end. I hope that next time I ask you to invest, don't reject me because of this."
"Yes, Ryan, without you, there would be no such great masterpiece. Even today, I still remember when filming Terminator 2 in 1990, a 10-year-old guy jumped in front of me and said, 'Hey, James, how about we create miracles together in the future? I can't say you can still win the Oscar for Best Director'. Now I have won the Best Director, so I want to say thank you to you. Ryan, you are a genius, the best playwright, the best collaborator, and the most courageous investor!"
It seemed that in order to strengthen his tone, James Cameron would point his right hand at Ryan every time he said, as if he was afraid that the whole audience and even the whole world would not know who he, as a madman, would be grateful for.
The band's urging music finally rang out, and James Cameron turned around and was about to walk down the stage. Ryan frowned. This was not the style of a tyrant on the set.
"Oh, by the way, there's one last sentence."
James Cameron did not disappoint and turned back to the microphone, "Borrow a line from Ryan in the movie, I’m.King.of.the.World! I am the king of the world!"
He raised his hands high and waved the little golden man in his hand vigorously, and kept making strange screams in his mouth, showing his true nature as a madman!
This is James Cameron, this is the king of the world!
Ryan flapped his palms and led the crew to stand up. Then everyone nearby stood up, the people in the back row stood up, and the audience stood up!
This is not just a tribute to James Cameron, but also a tribute to Titanic, which won the eleventh Little Golden Man, tying the historical record.
According to the general Oscar practice, the ones who win the Best Director and Best Picture are often the same movie, and a brand new historical record is about to be born!
Tonight's award ceremony, both the host and the award presenter strictly followed the fast-paced style. The final award presenter was the first generation 007, Sean Connery, known as the most handsome old man in history.
"Thank you, I'm honored to be the awards guest for Best Picture!"
Sean Connery's words are also concise, "The ones who won the best film nominations are Ryan Jenkins, James Cameron, Jon Landau, Arnon Milkan, Curtis Hanson, Uberto Pasolini, "The Little Pig Six", Lawrence Bender, "The Mind Catcher", Nicole Kidman, Julius Stewart, and Steven Soderbergh."
Listening to the sound coming from the stage, Ryan had completely relaxed. If the Best Director was given, the Best Picture would still fall in love with him, the Academy would definitely attract overwhelming criticism. Since they have made compromises on business, they will definitely compromise to the end.
Sure enough, the result was not disappointing.
"The best film is "Titanic". Please invite Ryan Jenkins, James Cameron, and Jon Landau."
The twelve little golden man got it! "Titanic" became the number one Oscar! What is "The Beauty of Comet" and "Ben Hur", can only become a stepping stone for this great movie!
The melody of "My Heart Eternal" was played for the twelfth time, and the entire crew was completely in a state of boiling and madness. Whether they wanted to or not, in front of "Titanic", which created a new miracle, the audience stood up and applauded again!
"Congratulations, my dear, you did it!" Nicole was the first to send a hug and congratulations.
After they parted, Ryan hugged and celebrated with James Cameron and Jon Landau. When he walked towards the stage, he slapped the person who stretched out his hand and celebrated with the applause in the theater until he was sent to the stage where he received the award.
"Thanks!"
Ryan was the first little golden man to pick up the best video and stood in front of the microphone with no choice.
"I said I'll be back! Now let me take a closer look at who I should thank."
As he said that, Ryan took out a card from his dress pocket and read it with super fast rap, "Thank you Academy, thank you Nicole, thank you Harvey, thank you Nat, thank you Taylor, thank you Pat, thank you Kate..."
Ryan read more than forty names in one breath, and the ups and downs, accompanied by a unique rhythm, attracted constant applause and laughter below. What's more interesting is that on his list of readers, James Cameron and Jon Landau kept nodding their heads at his rhythm, making them look like a rap trio.
"And, thanks James."
Ryan finally finished reading the long list, "If it weren't for him, "Titanic" would have only been words that stayed on paper, and could not have become a shocking picture!"
"In life, accidents are always inevitable and the future is unknown. The only thing we have is today! Life is so precious, so in the last few seconds, I want to ask everyone to listen to their heartbeat, which is the most precious thing in the world."
Ryan's words seemed to have magic. The laughter and applause of the audience instantly dissipated. The Grand Theater, which could accommodate more than 5,500 people, became as quiet as a solemn church.
The 70th Academy Awards ceremony ended with a complete victory in "Titanic". At the routine interview ceremony, in order to thank Ryan and Cameron for their contribution to the film, the crew piled up all twelve small golden men in front of them and asked the reporter to take a photo together.
The twelve golden little golden men could shine on everyone's eyes. However, the bright and restrained young man behind was even more dazzling and brilliant in the eyes of all reporters than these little golden men combined.
Two billion dollars in box office, sixteen Oscar nominations, and twelve Little Golden Man, these greatest records in the history of movies, besides Ryan Jenkins, who else can create it?
The award ceremony was over, but Ryan could not get out. This victory was great. Partners, good media, etc. kept coming to congratulate him. Tina Brown, editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair", directly blocked him.
"Ryan, even if it's a snatch, I'm going to steal you to the Vanity Fair party." She looked at Nicole again, "and our best actress!"
Chapter completed!
