Chapter 1910 1912 [Double Yolk Eggs]
Then the best original screenplay award was presented, and the nominees included "Thelma and Louise", "Like a Sea of Love", "Boys from the Neighborhood", "Friends in Need", "The End of the World", and so on.
Whoopi Goldberg then announced the winner, "Unbelievable! Thelma & Louise, Charles!" she exclaimed, her eyes wide.
Everyone present was also dumbfounded.
Although some people teased him before, will Xiang Nan win both the original screenplay award and the adapted screenplay award? After all, the excellence of "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Thelma & Louise" is obvious to all.
But such a scene has never happened, so everyone just jokes and doesn't believe it will happen. But unexpectedly, Xiang Nan actually won the two awards of Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Screenplay, which stunned everyone in the audience for a moment.
But Xiang Nan can still hold his breath. After all, he has experienced too many incredible things in his life. In comparison, it is not uncommon for an Oscar to win two awards.
He immediately stepped onto the stage and took the trophy from Whoopi Goldberg, "Thank you all the judges for your affirmation, I am really touched to receive this award again, thank you all.
At the same time, I would like to thank all the cast and crew of "Thelma & Louise" for their hard work, so that my script can be perfectly presented. Thank you~"
The audience in the audience reacted at this time, and gave warm applause one after another.
"Charles, you are really amazing~" Halle Berry congratulated.
"You are simply incomparable." Brooke Shields also whispered.
Winning two Best Screenplay Awards in a row is unprecedented in the history of Oscars.
Xiang Nan smiled.
He would like to thank Oscar for not sharing the pork. All awards still depend on strength. In another ten or twenty years, it will be impossible for him to win two awards.
…
Then, the awards ceremony continued.
Best Actress, won by Demi Moore for "Thelma and Louise". In fact, Michelle Pfeiffer is also good in the film, but not as breakthrough as Demi Moore.
In the film, Louis, played by Demi Moore, transforms from a little woman to a strong woman step by step. The transformation is more thorough and obvious, which can better demonstrate her acting skills.
Actually, Jodie Foster should win Best Actress for "The Silence of the Lambs" at this year's Oscars. But Xiang Nan replaced her with Nicole Kidman, and Nicole's acting skills at this time were not mature enough, so she did not meet the award-winning standards.
However, she was still nominated for the Best Actress Award, which shows that her acting skills are still recognized.
Subsequently, the best director was won by Jonathan Demme for "The Silence of the Lambs", which is really a good thing to congratulate. The best picture also went to "The Silence of the Lambs".
Xiang Nan came to the stage again to accept the award, "Thank you all the judges for your love of this movie, I am really grateful. I have always said that as long as you make a good movie with your heart, you will definitely be rewarded.
Now, its box office and the awards it has won really confirmed my words. I promise that I will make more and better movies for you in the future, and I hope you will continue to support me, thank you! "
Winning three awards in one night, Xiang Nan became the biggest winner of this year's Oscars.
…
At the party after the awards ceremony, Xiang Nan was surrounded by people who congratulated him and looked forward to cooperating with him.
One is "Invincible".
The story is that the Adams family took in a small St. Bernard, and within a few months, the little dog grew into a gigantic monster weighing 180 jin... and this unusually big dog, soon Attracts the attention of Dr. Evil.
This is a family comedy. It's just that movies with animal themes have always been taboo in Hollywood. Because animal scenes are very difficult to shoot.
On the one hand, animals are not as obedient as humans, and no matter how docile an animal is, they cannot be ordered and prohibited like humans. This greatly increases the difficulty of shooting;
On the one hand, various animal protection organizations in the United States are extremely active. If they find that animals may be harmed during filming, they will initiate a lawsuit and demand huge fines.
Their nitpicking approach also makes Hollywood all be in a state of trepidation when filming animal scenes, and try to avoid it as much as possible.
So although the script of "Invincible" is very good, the producers have so far failed to find investors.
…
One is "Crazy Nuns".
It tells the story of a second-rate singer who accidentally witnessed a murder case, so he was protected by the police and sent to the safest place in the world—the church.
But the boring life in the church really made the heroine uncomfortable, which caused a series of troubles. But her arrival also brought gratifying changes to the church...
"Crazy Nuns" is a classic comedy starring Whoopi Goldberg, and its reputation and box office are very good.
This project also started preparations a few years ago, but it has not attracted investment. The reason for this is probably because investors have no confidence in the film.
After all, in the United States, comprehensive education is still relatively sensitive, and it is not suitable to be used for ridicule.
…
After the Oscars, the next day, Xiang Nan's winning three awards in a row made headlines.
The photo of him holding three Academy Awards and smiling contagiously made many readers happy for him.
Of course there must be people who are jealous and disgusted. After all, not everyone in this world wants to see each other well.
But Xiang Nan didn't care about these things, he started to prepare for his new work - "Lethal Weapon 3". On the other hand, he is still involved in the production of "Friends".
The sequel was made, it could bring him tens of billions of dollars in benefits, so he had to take it seriously.
He participated in the selection of actors, and personally wrote the script for the first ten episodes of the first season.
Because the most important thing about American dramas is the first season. If this season starts off well and wins the approval of the audience, then the second and third seasons will be logical. On the contrary, if the first season is not filmed well, there will be no second season.
In the United States, many episodes were canceled because of poor response in the first season. Such as "Firefly", "Undead Forensic", "Constantine" and so on.
When these episodes were launched, the ratings were not good. But the value of these episodes was gradually realized by the audience.
Like "Firefly", every year fans continue to send letters to Fox, asking for a restart. However, given that the leading actors have already had their own careers, reunion is no longer possible, which is a great pity.
Therefore, if "Friends" wants to win the hearts of the audience, the first season must be filmed well. The first ten episodes in the first season are the most important, because the first ten episodes are usually used to shape the characters and pave the way for the main line. These ten episodes will also allow viewers to form a viewing habit.
