It's the penultimate award for tonight, Best Director.

"An excellent director is like an excellent captain. He is the core and soul of the crew. Without the guidance of the captain, it is difficult for any ship to sail to the correct distance."

"It is my honor to introduce the five 'captains' tonight. Of course, no matter which one of them wins, the light of others will not be lost."

"The nominees for this year's Academy Awards for Best Director are:"

"Mike Nicholson, Working Girl;"

"Charles Crichton, A Fish Named Wanda;"

"Barry Levinson, Rain Man;"

"Alan Parker, Mississippi Burning;"

"Peter Weir, Dead Poets Society."

After introducing the five nominees in turn, Michelle Pfeiffer, who was wearing a big red V-neck evening dress tonight, looked down the stage with rolling eyes, but the movements of her hands did not stop. After opening the envelope, he pulled out the card with the list of winners, and then bowed his head.

Seeing the results of the awards, the coquettish girl who had been discharging just now had a flash of surprise on her face, but soon smiled and showed the envelope to Dennis Quaid beside her.

Dennis Quaid made his debut in the 70s, and his career slowly began to improve in his middle age.

Having been in Hollywood for many years, he is naturally very aware of all kinds of gossip in the circle.

Glancing at the results of the awards handed over by Michelle Pfeiffer, Dennis Quaid did not show a surprised expression. He reached out and took the envelope, took a 'careful' look at it in his hand, made a full gesture, and It whetted everyone's appetite, and finally announced to the microphone the result of the award that many people had guessed but were reluctant to believe.

"The winner of this year's Oscar for Best Director is Peter Weir for Dead Poets Society."

In the hall, after a brief silence, there was applause.

Backstage at the ceremony, although Deutschman did not lose his composure as when he presented the best soundtrack this time, he still raised his hands and clenched his fists, and touched Amy and others tacitly.

In the hall, Peter Weir, who was overjoyed, walked quickly to the stage.

Although the shots of the five candidates were cut out, the live camera shot once again turned to "Rain Man" director Barry Levinson, and successfully captured Levinson's obvious unwillingness to lose and even anger.

It's Barry Levinson's first Best Director nomination, and clearly one of the favorites to win.

At the beginning, everyone was not optimistic about "Rain Man", but the film unexpectedly counterattacked, and the counterattack caught people off guard, which is enough to prove the strong uncertainty of film production.

Having missed this chance to win the most promising award, it is hard to say whether Barry Levinson will win another Oscar.

You know, whether it is the media or the audience, when evaluating a filmmaker's work, they often compare it with their previous works.Obviously, "Rain Man" is already the pinnacle of Barry Levinson, and it is destined that it will be difficult for him to produce a better film than "Rain Man" in the future.

It is impossible to produce a work that surpasses "Rain Man". Compared with his mentality and public opinion, even if he can be nominated again, the possibility of winning an award is very slim.

Calm down and listen to Peter Weir's excited acceptance speech on the stage. Whether it is in the hall, the backstage of the ceremony, or the media reporters waiting for the results outside, after some sorting out, they gradually realized that Peter Weir's award The reason is actually traceable.

Peter Weir has already won an Oscar nomination for Best Director with 1985's "The Witness", which already has an advantage over Barry Levinson in this regard.Therefore, although the results of the awards are somewhat beyond everyone's expectations, they are not unexpected.

"Rain Man" is a phenomenal movie, that's true, but "Dead Poets Society" is also a very good movie.Moreover, Daenerys Entertainment has spared no effort in the public relations offensive launched by Daenerys Entertainment this awards season.

"Rain Man" is not very outstanding in terms of camera, editing and other technical aspects, so it is only natural that it missed the previous technical awards.However, Simon Westero's best soundtrack award under the attack of a group of veteran top soundtrack musicians has actually proved the public relations effectiveness of Daenerys Entertainment.

As for the 'losing' for Best Actor, it's mostly because Daenerys Entertainment doesn't have any other strong PR targets in this regard.

Robert De Niro, who was nominated for Best Actor with "Dead Poets Society", has won two Oscars for Best Actor before that, which is already a limit for Hollywood actors.Unless De Niro can come up with another super-phenomenal movie that even surpasses "Rain Man", under normal circumstances, he will have to wait at least ten or 20 years later if he wants to win his third Oscar.

On the other hand, there's no denying that Dustin Hoffman's performance in Rain Man is as impeccable as the film itself.

Therefore, although Daenerys Entertainment put the public relations target on De Niro to dilute Hoffman's votes, when the other three candidates besides Hoffman and De Niro are not strong enough, Deniro It is impossible for Luo to win the award, so the final award is taken for granted.

In this way, Dustin Hoffman's award cannot be regarded as the failure of Daenerys Entertainment.

Now, Peter Weir of "Dead Poets Society" has won the best director award. After careful taste, many people have discovered that this Oscar, the dark battle between Daenerys Entertainment and C, is still Daenerys Entertainment after all. Even better.

Dustin Hoffman just picked up an award that was easy for him.

What Peter Weir got now was the result of the award after a fierce confrontation between Daenerys Entertainment and C.You must know that C, who has been in Hollywood for more than ten years, is very powerful in terms of actors, and his network in the field of directors should not be underestimated.

In comparison, Daenerys, who has a shallow background, has obvious disadvantages in entertainment.

To be able to win awards under such adversity, coupled with Simon Westero's previous best soundtrack statuette, is enough to prove the success of Daenerys Entertainment's public relations strategy this year.

The news that Peter Weir won the best director for "Dead Poets Society" spread quickly. In the Holy Citizen Auditorium, the awards ceremony continued, but at the same time it came to the finale.

The best picture was awarded by the previous best actress winner Cher.

From this point, we can see the difference in the details of this year’s Oscars again. In addition to not setting up a host, the award presenters did not follow the traditional model of awarding the best actor for this year’s Best Actress in the past.

There was no suspense in the final award result, and "Rain Man" successfully won the 61st Oscar for Best Picture.

Daenerys Entertainment has applied for two producers for "Rain Man", one is Barry Levinson's queen producer Mark Johnson, and the other is Daenerys Entertainment's own spokesperson .Through this arrangement, Daenerys Entertainment will receive a statuette to be displayed at the company's headquarters as a permanent honor.

After the best picture, the 61st Academy Awards ceremony ended successfully.

However, all the aftermath has just begun.

Chapter 252 Controversy (Revised)

The 61st Academy Awards ceremony came to an end, and the 'Gucci Night' after-party hosted by Daenerys Entertainment became the most grand celebration tonight.

In terms of the number of awards alone, Daenerys Entertainment's performance at this year's Oscars does not seem to be very good.However, Daenerys Entertainment won three of the four core awards of Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor and Actress, which is enough to make Daenerys Entertainment the focus of media attention for the next period of time.

Moreover, for many people who are familiar with the inside story of this award ceremony, Daenerys Entertainment won a big victory tonight.

In the Vanity Fair of Hollywood, what everyone pursues is nothing more than fame and fortune.

Over the past year or so, Daenerys Entertainment has left other Hollywood studios in the dust, no matter in terms of box office or awards. good ladder.

You know, there are no less than 10 officially prepared film projects that Daenerys Entertainment has made public, and no one will doubt that there are many opportunities to further their careers.

Therefore, in order to have a direct relationship with Daenerys Entertainment executives, not only those guests who received invitation letters, but also many other Hollywood superstars and celebrities began to seek to participate in this party.

Naturally, the parties that Daenerys entertains are not just for everyone.

Celebrities also don’t want to be turned into a laughingstock by the media after being turned away. They contacted them through various channels in advance. After all, only a small number of them got extra admission.

Hilton Beverly Hills.

Famke Janssen, who wore a deep red wide-shouldered Gucci dress tonight, just got off the car outside the hotel, and was led into the hotel by his agent, all the way to the media photoshoot outside the 'Gucci Night' party hall by the wall.

Not only the dress on her body, but also the bags in Famke Janssen's hands and the shoes on her feet are from Gucci. To describe it more appropriately, she is Gucci's 'caretaker' tonight.

Of course, Famke Jansen is completely willing to be this 'caretaker', because it will also enhance her own popularity.

Speaking of which, as clothes racks who were born as models, the three Wonder Woman candidates are actually arranged in this way.The status of the three women is still very low, and Daenerys Entertainment is not worried that this arrangement will cause brand endorsement conflicts, as none of the three women have any endorsements.

Over the past few months, Famke Jansen has also gradually learned that she is likely to be the first priority among the three Wonder Woman candidates.As long as she doesn't make mistakes herself, the role of Diana Prince in the future will be at her fingertips.

Obediently according to the organizer's arrangement, Famke Janssen was able to enter the party scene after posing for more than two minutes in front of the Daenerys Entertainment and Gucci brand-style photo wall.As soon as he came to the lobby, Marvin Josephson, president of ICM, greeted Famke Jansen cordially, and then took her to socialize among the crowd.

In order to catch up with the two giants of CAA and WMA, ICM has established cooperative relations with several famous North American modeling agencies in the past few years, such as Cindy Crawford, Paulina Priskova, Ai La Macpherson and many other popular models have their agency contracts under ICM.

Famke Janssen was originally one of them who was not too conspicuous.

Now, although Famke Jansen is still not very eye-catching, he has become a key training target of ICM.Not only Daenerys Entertainment will provide her with opportunities, but ICM has also begun to invest a lot of resources in it.This kind of treatment is even unmatched by Helena Christensen, another Wonder Woman candidate under ICM.

As for the last Erica Anderson, it is a client of WMA.

Although Daenerys Entertainment has shown a clear inclination towards Famke Janssen, because of the relationship between Simon and WMA, ICM does not dare to take this matter lightly.

At the party, Marvin Josephson took Famke Jansen to socialize in the crowd, and Jonathan Friedman was also discussing with Amy about the three Wonder Woman candidates.

Erica Anderson is not a client of Jonathan's own, but her agent is as much a part of Fernando as Valerie Golino's Illian Borman and Adam Baldwin's Matthew Stewart. Reedman series.After the incident at the beginning, Friedman no longer had illusions about the unity within the WMA. In the past two years, he just tried to win as many allies as possible to support himself.

In the face of Friedman's inquiry, Amy did not go around and said: "Joe, you should have seen Simon's tendency. However, since he chose these three girls, they must have something special. Even if they don't get the role of Wonder Woman, they should have a good development in Hollywood in the future."

"In that case, Amy, how about giving Erica a try as April O'Neal in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?"

April O'Neill is the heroine of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" anime series. In the original space-time Michael Bay production version of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" live-action movie, the role of April is played by Megan Fox. Although this role The vase is also a vase with a lot of room for development.

Jonathan's request is actually tantamount to making Erica Anderson voluntarily withdraw from the Wonder Woman competition.

However, since the probability of getting Wonder Woman is very low, this choice of retreat is actually the most beneficial for Erica Anderson.

After the last fainting incident, Simon further delegated power to Amy.

Now, except for the most core films, the control of projects such as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is in Amy's hands. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" will be filmed in the second half of the year, and it is initially scheduled to be released in the summer of next year, and the casting work will happen to start in the near future.

Amy heard Jonathan say this, thought for a moment, and said: "Okay, Joe, I will put Erica on the final candidate list, but whether I can get the role depends on her performance in the audition. "

Knowing that Amy still had a lot of people to socialize with and achieved his goal, Jonathan Friedman turned around and walked away after a few gossips. Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, who had been standing not far away, The couple quickly took Jonathan's place and chatted with Amy.

After "Die Hard", Bruce Willis, who was born as a TV actor, has become a superstar in Hollywood.The reason why the couple have been so active recently is because Demi Moore is determined to get the heroine of "Ghostly Love".

Jonathan left Amy, was socializing in the crowd, and saw Nicole Kidman inadvertently.

Nicole, in a gorgeous Dior gown, was in a lively conversation with the couple Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford.

After hesitating for a moment, Jonathan still didn't step forward.

After filming "Crossing the Horizon" produced by George Miller, Nicole found that Daenerys Entertainment's various recent projects did not have her own share, so she couldn't help but have other thoughts.After Daenerys Entertainment reached a settlement with Meg Ryan, Nicole also tried to hope that she could also cancel the remaining two option contracts with Daenerys Entertainment.

And this dress incident.

I can't bear my temper, I can't see the situation clearly, I have too many thoughts.

Shaking his head secretly, Jonathan turned to the other direction.There is no shortage of first-line actresses in his hands, not to mention that Nicole Kidman has only slightly touched the first-line threshold. Since he has too many ideas of his own, then let it be.Jonathan doesn't have the energy to teach her non-key clients what to do right now, and maybe she doesn't want to listen either.

Nicole Kidman, who was talking with Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford, also noticed Jonathan passing by, but she was just stunned, and then looked away.

During this period of time, Nicole has regretted it a bit.

It might have been nice if she hadn't left CAA, and she felt that even then, the Pulp Fiction role would have been hers.

Now, she is agonizing over the remaining two option contracts with Daenerys Entertainment.It's just that these two contracts may be nothing, but the heroine of "The Love of Ghosts" is obviously very suitable for her. She tried it, but didn't get a positive response, so she couldn't help being even more disappointed and regretful.

At the same time, I also feel that Daenerys Entertainment's frequent signing of long-term contracts with actors may benefit the film company a lot, but it is obviously harming the interests of the stars themselves.In contrast, CAA is striving for the interests of customers as much as possible, no wonder the two sides will be very deadlocked.

As an actress, she felt that she really shouldn't have too many illusions about the film company.

It would be great if you could change jobs.

Returning to CAA would definitely piss off Daenerys Entertainment, she's not that stupid yet, but maybe it would be nice to go to ICM.

Both Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford were clients of ICM. After a few chats, Richard Gere enthusiastically expressed that he could introduce Marvin Josephson, the president of ICM, to her.

Nicole has also seen Marvin Josephson at the party, but it is obviously not appropriate to approach him now.

Cindy Crawford felt a little offended by Richard Gere's eagerness to talk to Nicole Kidman.Although there was no seizure, the two of them continued to chat for a while, and happened to notice that Helena Christensen appeared nearby. Thinking of something, Cindy found an excuse to walk away.

Even if it is a first-line supermodel, its heritage cannot be compared with Hollywood stars after all.

Cindy Crawford didn't have much expectations for the future between her and Richard Gere after catching this already-fading A-list actor just to stabilize her reputation.

Helena Christensen was in a low mood.

Among the three Wonder Woman candidates, Famke Jansen, who also belongs to ICM, is the most promising candidate to get the role, and Erica Anderson has the support of WMA. In comparison, she is the least hopeful one.

For Wonder Woman, she has missed a lot of development opportunities in modeling.She is only 21 years old this year, the youngest of the three candidates, and she is still too early to retire from the modeling career to seek other outlets.Perhaps, I should re-focus on the modeling career.

Seeing Crawford walking towards her, Helena just raised her glass to her: "Hi, Cindy."

Cindy asked, "Why are you alone?"

Helena made a random joke: "I want to try to catch cats, but unfortunately the biggest one didn't come."

Cindy laughed and said, "Speaking of this, Helen, do you remember what happened last year?"

Helena asked suspiciously, "What?"

"On Westeros' birthday last year, he made each of us a promise."

Helena paused for a moment, then rolled her eyes slightly at Cindy: "Do you take that kind of promise seriously?"

"Try it and have nothing to lose."

"Then what do you want?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet, but I definitely can't let that guy go, how about you?"

"I, no, I forgot."

The two women were chatting, and not far away, Angela Ahrendts was also at ease at tonight's party.

Not just some advance arrangements, perhaps hinted by the name 'Gucci Night', many quite 'upright' stars in Hollywood took the initiative to add some Gucci elements to themselves, or dresses, or It's a Kun bag, or a shoe.

This makes the whole party look full of Gucci style.

For the media photoshoot before the party, Daenerys Entertainment invited more than 20 mainstream media from North America and overseas tonight.

With so many Gucci elements, it is conceivable that the exposure of the Gucci brand will increase significantly in the next few days.
