Chapter 1972: 1972

History continued to move forward according to the original trajectory. Although a little accident occurred in the process, the "Los Angeles Secret" pulled out the teeth of the tiger's mouth and snatched the Best Movie Editing Award, which made the "Titanic" unable to tie the historical record of "Ben Hu". It "just" won ten Little Golden Man in a single session, ranking second in film history, and failed to create further history; but the ending was still developed according to standard procedures and included the Best Director, "Titanic" naturally won the Best Film and became the biggest winner of the 70th Oscars in one fell swoop. The endless debate finally came to an end.

Although it is known that the debate between the traditional and the reformists will continue, just like the balance between commercial and artistic films, it has been debated for nearly a century but has never reached a conclusion. It is also difficult to draw a clear conclusion on the debate between the "Titanic" and the "Los Angeles Secret": after all, this is not a mathematical problem.

But at least so far, Oscars, as an authority, still gave an answer: the historical process of the film industry will continue to move forward, which is irresistible. Computer special effects have become the most important area of ​​the film industry, and even a best film Little Golden Man is needed to prove this. The innovative people once again defeated the self-supported traditional conservatives on the road to history.

Just like the emergence of the "Male and Female Thief" at the beginning, this work announced the surging wave of the new Hollywood movies with a stunning attitude. At the 40th Oscar, "Male and Female Thief" won ten nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Two Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Photography and Best Costume Design, and finally won the Best Supporting Actress and Best Photography.

At that Oscar, it was not the "graduate" who won the best film, not the "guess.ho's.co fan ng.to.dinner", not the "doctor.dolittle", not the "male and male thief", but the "hot summer night (in.the.heat.of.the.night).

History has proved that the choice of the academy cannot be considered wise, because even though the "male and female thief" did not get recognized by the academy, it completely changed the trajectory of the entire Hollywood film industry and affected the direction of the film development in the next thirty years. As for the "hot summer night", it was submerged in the long river of history. Although this is still an excellent work that reflects racial issues, even the work that also reflects racial issues, "Guess who will have dinner" has been more popular.

In the face of history, even the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences can only be regarded as a chess piece, and their decision cannot stop the course of history. This is the true power of history!

Now, thirty years later, another reincarnation has arrived. "Titanic" appeared in the film market as a "male and male robber". This time the academy did not miss it again. They chose "Titanic" and also chose the direction of film production represented by this movie, moving forward in line with the trend of the times.

This is not a victory for the Titanic, nor is it a victory for the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences, but a victory for the entire film industry at least on the evening of March 23, 1998, and everyone firmly believed in this.

Hugo knew that the wheel of history was difficult to shake. He was just a little butterfly, and he was flapping his wings with all his might and could not fight against the power of the tsunami. But even so, Hugo still felt a little regret. He was so close that he could use his own power to change history. In fact, he had changed history.

"Los Angeles City Secret" won the Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Movie Editing Awards, once again allowing people to feel the infinite charm of Hollywood's classic movies in the Golden Age. The box office of 260 million US dollars in the United States was only ranked after the "Titanic" and ranked second in the year-end box office list in 1997.

After winning the Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay Awards, "Full-Fine" once again made people clearly realize the charm of the lines, re-showing the screenwriters' solid writing skills and delicate shaping ability in those golden years. The name "Enst Lehman" once again returned to people's sight, awakening those memories of stage plays and classic works.

Although the two works, six small golden men are not as good as the ten trophys of the "Titanic", the Academy expressed their position in this way: it is imperative to change history by computer special effects, but the importance of scripts should never be ignored, and should be praised again by people, because only truly excellent scripts, combined with the correct use of computer special effects, can the film industry be taken to a higher level.

This is the history that Hugo changed. "Excellent Beauty" and "Los Angeles Secret" have received more attention, and the importance of the script has been reiterated once again. In the face of the blockbuster era led by visual effects, retro forces cannot be underestimated. However, I don't know how much role the suggestion of this Oscar can play within large-scale production companies and how much influence it will add to the future development of the film industry. No one can predict.

But, unfortunately, the joint efforts of "Luocheng Secret" and "Excellent and Perfect" were only a little space before overturning history, but in the end they failed. It was precisely this kind of success that was so close that it made Hugo feel an indescribable loss, as if a ball of cotton was stuffed into his chest, and he could only smile bitterly.

But Hugo also has an advantage: he will soon become one of the helmsmen of DreamWorks. As the most important independent production resource in Hollywood in the future, DreamWorks has the ability to become the last pure land for Wall Street to control Hollywood, and also has the ability to rely on its own influence to change the market. Therefore, all possibilities in the future exist.

This is a historical night. According to statistics, the four and a half hours of awards ceremony were held, and an average of 58 million viewers watched the show. This was a quick hit of Oscars' film history. This was the first time that the average ratings of the Oscars ceremony in history exceeded 50 million!

Looking at the award ceremony, the moment with the highest number of viewers was the moment of the "Titanic" reaching the top, and more than 62 million viewers witnessed James Cameron leading the largest cruise ship in history to occupy the Holy Auditorium; and the moment with the second highest number of viewers was the moment of the best director, with a total of 59.5 million viewers; and the moment with the moment of the best original script award, with an instant rating of 58 million viewers, and even the moment of the best actor did not reach such a height.

It can be said that this is an Oscar that has made history from beginning to end.

From Charlize winning the Best Supporting Actress Award, to Hugo becoming the second person in film history to win the actor and screenwriter awards, to Jack's third acting Golden Man, and finally to the "Titanic" winning a complete victory. The 70th Academy Awards has been recorded in history with the history of history, creating an almost insurmountable peak, in fact, this is true. In the following twenty years, the Oscars have never attracted so much attention. Perhaps Hollywood can only wait quietly for the next moment of historical change to come.

But I don’t know if it will take longer to reincarnate for thirty years.

In addition to "Titanic", Hugo was the most popular that night. Not only because he defeated a group of strong opponents and won the best original script, he had already reached three of his personal Little Golden Man; but also because of the two works he produced, "Los Angeles City Secret" and "Excellent Beauty" that night became the second only to "Titanic" that night, and the limelight was not inferior. It can be predicted that Hugo will set off more waves as a producer and screenwriter in the future, and in the process of historical changes, Hugo's role has become more and more important.

So, when Hugo came to the backstage of the Holy Auditorium and was waiting for his little golden man to engrave his letters, the reporters instantly surrounded him and competed with James Cameron on the other side. From the perspective of momentum, Hugo was definitely not inferior here.

James looked at Hugo through the crowd, and the two people's eyes collided in the air. James defiantly smiled at Hugo and raised his chin high. This was the first time James faced Hugo with such a direct emotion, almost without hiding his pride and pride. This made Hugo raise his eyebrows gently and respond with a bright smile. Because Hugo knew that the blockbuster era had just begun, everything in the future was unknown.

However, James didn't care at all. In his opinion, any Hugo's reaction was a quibble and escape from the loser, so he sneered softly, then withdrew his gaze in the form of a winner and faced the reporter in front of him again.

Hugo had no intention of defending himself, and looked back at the reporter in front of him, "Hugo, I wonder if your two works were regrettably unable to win the Best Picture Award tonight, but witnessed the great victory of the "Titanic". Similarly, last year's "Independence Day" did not even win the nomination. Do you think?"

The reporter's interpretation was indeed unique and sharp. Hugo laughed, "A movie is the job of the entire crew. I don't think it can be distinguished by victory and failure. I thought you would ask me about the Best Original Script Award." In two simple sentences, Hugo expressed his position: he is an independent individual, but the movie is a whole, so there is no need to continue asking.

In fact, Hugo's attitude can also be seen: he avoided the reporter's question and did not send blessings or praise to the "Titanic". This is Hugo's position.
