Chapter 951 Trophies are for playing Chapter 952 We eat meat, you drink soup(1/3)
The competition for this Harvey Award in 1930 was very fierce. The best script award, the first award, was actually lost from the beginning. This not only made the dream factory people stunned, but also made the people on the scene unable to adapt. Because since the establishment of the Harvey Award, this award has never left Dream Factory, and such a result actually happened, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
The announcement of this award also made the atmosphere of the award ceremony a little weird. People from other film companies looked at DreamWorks a little complicated.
Many people obviously showed a look of watching the fun, and even Marskolov and others were whining behind me, saying that DreamWorks might be throwing their armor this time.
Gans couldn't sit still, Griffith couldn't sit anymore, Stendburg, Stiller could no longer sit still, the people who attended the award ceremony in DreamWorks were a little unstoppable. They were used to seeing the award ceremony as our DreamWorks annual summary. Today, this situation happened, and everyone became restless.
I was the only one sitting in a wheelchair with a smile.
In my opinion, it is interesting and exciting to have such a situation.
At the award ceremony, the awards continued.
"Please reveal the list of winners for the best film, Mr. Hayes." Pickford gave an envelope to Hayes with a smile.
Everyone's eyes were focused on that envelope, this award was one of the most important awards. At this moment, everyone's breathing was almost still, and the Grand Theater was silent.
"The winning video of this year's Best Picture Award is..." Hayes paused, then a smile appeared on his face.
"Gone with the Wind", "Patriot", "Gladiator", "City Light", "Shawshank Redemption", "The Legend of Lincoln", "The Angel of Hell" plus "M", this list is really tempting.
Victor Fleming was sitting in the seat, holding a golden feather trophy, his face turned red, Chaplin kept drawing crosses on his body, Fritz Lang was wearing a pinch-neck glasses, perhaps because of nervousness, and kept pushing upwards. As for the group of people in DreamWorks, they had long been unable to sit still, Gans grabbed my arm and muttered in his mouth: "It's a bitch. If we can't win this trophy in the four movies, it would be unfair!"
The funnyest person may be Agalo in my arms. The little guy looked at me, opened his eyes wide, pointed to the trophy on the podium and said to me: "Dad! Dad! I want that to play! I want that to play!"
This little bastard is worthy of being my bastard, and he is so domineering in his words and actions.
"Don't worry, you are playing today. The trophy is for playing." I laughed.
On stage, Hayes had already raised his hand high. When the hand fell down, he revealed the results of the award: "Patriot! DreamWorks Film Company!" "Long live!"
Dreamworks people cheered!
"In all the movies in 1930, "The Patriot" became a torch! A horn! It not only gave birth to our national anthem, but also allowed all Americans to learn unity and understand the essence of this country!" Hays read the award speech. At the same time, classic passages from "The Patriot" appeared on the huge screen above his head. At the same time, the grand "Stars and Stripes" sounded in the Grand Theater, and the audience stood up and applause was thunderous.
Gans pushed me to the podium, and Hays put the heavy golden feather trophy in my hand.
"This trophy belongs to those who have devoted themselves to the independence and freedom of this country, to those veterans, those veterans like Benjamin Martin. Long live America! Long live freedom!"
I held the trophy in my hand high above my head.
"Long live America!"
"Long live freedom!"
He shouted and remembered in the Grand Theater.
"Come on, come on, let's play with the trophy." I got off the podium. I handed the trophy to Agelo, and the little guy smiled.
"Andre, look at Agalo, how old is Agalo, I like this trophy so much. I will definitely be a movie maniac in the future." Holgina looked at Agalo and pouted at me.
"Sister-in-law of Holgina, what's wrong with Yagalo growing up and taking over his father's business? Look at the boss now, how good it is!" Gans continued.
"What's good! I almost lost my life in the wind and rain all day long." Holgina looked at me and wiped her tears.
During this period, several women were worried. When Holgina cried like this, the others were filled with eyes.
"Don't cry, don't cry, so many people are watching." I patted Holgina's back and laughed.
Soon, the Best Supporting Actor Award began to be announced.
In the past, this award received slightly less attention than the best film and best script awards, but this time, the situation was different.
Four of the five nominated people are from DreamWorks: Ronald Reagan, Mr. Rock, Duoduo, Spencer Quser, and the remaining one is Jean Renoir, although his strength is strong, compared with the movie nominated by DreamWorks, the influence of "The Great Disillusionment" is still incomparable.
In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, DreamWorks will definitely win this award. What people are concerned about is who will win this award. Among the four nominated people in DreamWorks, Mr. Rock is the most popular.
On the one hand, his performance in "Shawshank Land Redemption" can only be described as perfect, and he is fully qualified to win this grand prize. On the other hand, if he wins this award, a historical record of Harvey's prize will be born. He is not only the oldest winner in the Best Supporting Actor Award, but also the first person to step forward from the public to the actor.
Therefore, everyone's eyes were focused on the square formation of DreamWorks and on Mr. Locke.
Mr. Rock was so excited that he turned to me and said, "Mr. Corleon, this is so nervous. Even the night I got married, I was never as nervous as I am now!"
Hahaha! Mr. Rock's words made us laugh, but this laughter made us lose our tension.
"The winner of this Harvey Award for Best Supporting Actor is..." When Hayes saw the name on the envelope, he couldn't help but brow: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's cheer for the historical record of the Harvey Award being created! Please invite Mr. Locke. He made history!"
Wow!
The applause rang out, and all the DreamWorksmen rose up, Reagan and Spencer Quser supported Mr. Rock to the podium. At this time, he was so excited that he could not walk at all.
This ordinary old man not only created a history, but also created a myth.
"Mr. Locke plays Di Lao Bu in "The Shawshank Redemption". Naturally, it makes people feel the vicissitudes of life and the sadness of life. He is not performing, but presents his decades of life to us, which is touching! Lao Bu, after all, has become an immortal classic image in the history of Hollywood films!" The jury committee praised Mr. Locke very much in the award speech.
When I took the heavy trophy from Hayes, Mr. Rock burst into tears. "Ladies and gentlemen, many people may not know me. Yes. I am a little person. I have lived on Harvey Street for 50 years. For fifty years, I have been baking my black bread, which is specially for the poor, and rich people are disdainful."
"I have lived on Harvey Street for 50 years. In these 50 years, I have seen all the sufferings and sorrows of the world. Anyone who is familiar with Harvey Street knows that a few years ago. That street was the dirtiest street in Hollywood, with sewage flowing and stinking. It was a slum where people live in numbness, without dignity and no hope."
"Five years ago, a group of young people walked into Harvey Street. They set up a small film company behind Harvey Street. I have seen many small film companies like this, and they often open today and go bankrupt tomorrow. I am not different from others."
"And one day, a man in a suit walked into my shop, smiled and took a piece of black bread from me and started eating it very sweetly. He told me that he was the owner of this film company. At that time, I knew that this film company would never become an ordinary company, and the young man who was eating black bread in front of me would definitely not be an ordinary person!"
Hugh! Hugh! Hugh!
People applauded! Everyone obviously understood who the person who ate black bread was said by Mr. Rock.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am just an old man toast. A few years ago, I thought I had just lived my life like this. After I died, I was put into a thin coffin and buried in a cemetery that no one could find. But now, look at me, and I was standing here in a decent dressed manner with the Golden Feather Award, which symbolizes the highest honor! It was like a dream!"
"On behalf of all the people of Harvey, I thank DreamWorks, Mr. Corleon, for their hope and light, and also let us understand the meaning of the movie and the meaning of life! Long live DreamWorks! Long live Mr. Corleon!"
Mr. Rock held the trophy and burst into tears.
Thousands of people in the Grand Theater expressed their respect for the old man and their respect for DreamWorks.
This scene is so warm.
Two consecutive awards were won by DreamWorks, and the atmosphere on the scene became warmer again.
"Did you see it? Old Ma, today our DreamWorks will also overcome all obstacles!" Gans turned to Marskov and smiled.
"What's the point! You'll be in trouble with the following award!" Marskolov said with a wicked smile.
His words made the smile on Gans's face disappear immediately.
Marskolov was right at all. We are really in trouble with the award below. Best Actor Award!
Me, Gary Grant, Clark Gable, Charlie Chaplin, Lawrence Oliver, Gary Cooper, Humphrey Bogart, Strauheng, Henry Fonda, these names mean that this is a fierce competition!
It can be said that it is not surprising that any of them won this award. Therefore, whether they can win the award depends on the support and luck of the people.
For me, the remaining few people are strong opponents, but what worries me the most is probably Clark Gable.
The Rhett, who played this guy in "Gone with the Wind", made women in America crazy. Even Lenny shouted that Clark Gable was handsome when watching the movie. I slapped her on the butt, and the little girl immediately pouted her mouth and begged for mercy.
We were both half-hearted, and I had no confidence in this award.
"Boss, there are so many people in our DreamWorks, and the combined pressure has crushed those guys to death!" Gary Grant cheered me up.
But his words seemed to be obviously lacking in confidence.
I turned around and looked at the square formation of Columbia Film Company next to me. Clark Gable sat in his seat, his face was also nervous. Although he has won the support of the people since joining Hollywood, he has never won the Golden Feather Award. This time it is obviously his best opportunity. If he wins this award, it means that he defeated Andre Corleon. This honor is really too great.
Not only that, he won the Harvey Award for Best Actor. Clark Gable can also straighten his back from now on to those who define him as a romantic wanderer who makes a living by relying on his face. He is a powerful actor.
Therefore, he is more urgent than anyone else for this award, and he is determined to win it.
He has always been carefree and has always been carefree. At this time, he has become nervous.
Hayes tore open the envelope and then said word by word to the microphone: "The winner of this Harvey Award for Best Actor is..."
"Chaplin!"
"Lawrence!"
"Strauhen!"
"Henry!"
All kinds of sounds emerged.
Wolf howls kept coming from the local arrays of major film companies, but the Dream Factory was silent, and everyone was holding it in a hurry.
"Andre Corleon, "Patriot", DreamWorks Film Company!"
Hayes's words made the shouts of the audience disappear. At the same time, I saw a look of disappointment on Clark Gable's face. This originally free and easy person lowered his head at this time. Then he quickly wiped his eyes, as if he had cried secretly.
Chaplin, Lawrence Oliver and others all collapsed on the chair all at once, and it can be seen that these people were also disappointed.
DreamWorks was full of joy. Although Cary Grant and others did not win this award, in their opinion, it doesn’t matter who wins the award at all. As long as the prize is the most valuable place, it’s enough to belong to DreamWorks.
"In the "Patriot", Benjamin Martin became a symbol of freedom. Mr. Andre Corleon fully interpreted the image of an American hero who seeks independence and freedom. The spirit reflected in Benjamin Martin is what we need and has also infected all of us!" The award speech of the judges was very brief, but it won the approval of everyone in the Grand Theater.
After I brought back the golden feather trophy, I handed it to Waboli. The first move that Waboli, who still couldn't speak, was to open his mouth and chew it hard.
"Adolf, dad will get one for you later." I turned around and said to Adolf next to me.
This little guy had already fallen asleep by this time, but now he was in Lennie's arms with his big eyes open and his eyes were brightly staring at everything around him.
After the best actor was revealed, he was the best supporting actress.
Four people from the nominations, Emil Dane and Podrek are newcomers. Although Marlene Dietli is famous, her debut is not very long, but she is already a ginger.
Among the four people, public opinion generally believes that Bebe Daniel is most likely to win the award. On the one hand, it is because of her reputation in Hollywood. Although she is no longer in glory now, the name Bebe Daniel always represents an era. On the other hand, among the four people, she is the only one who was nominated for two movies.
