Chapter 692 Best Science Fiction Film
Although there was no live TV broadcast, the number of reporters waiting in front of the Holy Citizen Auditorium was no less than that of the Oscars, and even the number of movie fans gathered in front of the red carpet far exceeded the Oscars, which made the scale of the awards ceremony extremely large.
There is no awards ceremony in Hollywood that can match the weight of the Oscars, but when it comes to the number of fans at the scene, the Oscars may not be the most.
Because the Saturn Award-nominated films have far more audiences than Oscar-nominated films, coupled with the lack of live broadcasts, many movie fans often rush to the scene to support their favorite films.
When it comes to the market and audience, the sci-fi, fantasy and action films that occupy the nomination list for the Saturn Awards are the mainstream.
When the miniature model of Optimus Prime was pushed onto the red carpet by Duke, the atmosphere on the scene was almost crazy. This film, which was nominated for the Saturn Award at the last moment, is undoubtedly the most powerful contender for many awards this year. .
Duke also can’t remember how many times he has been nominated for the best director of the Saturn Awards. This time he walked the red carpet with the model of Optimus Prime, not only to promote the film that is still being screened, but also the leader of the Autobots Nominated for Best Actor!
Since the main cast and crew of Transformers are still running publicity announcements all over the world, only Duke and Anna Prinz attended the awards ceremony.
Compared with the Oscars, the award ceremony of the Saturn Awards is more cheerful, and the films that appear here are also familiar to movie fans. There will be no situation where professionals at the Oscars are applauded and the audience is very few.
We will be the biggest winners!
Sitting in the seat, Anna Prinz said to Duke, You, the director, came to the award ceremony in person, and the organizer will definitely reserve several heavyweight awards for Transformers.
Just like the Oscars and the three major European film festivals, the Saturn Awards have never been fair. The organizers will give priority to big-name stars and directors who are willing to come to the scene. With Duke's current status and status, since he has agreed to attend this awards ceremony, the jury will definitely consider it.
This is a normal phenomenon in film awards all over the world.
The awards ceremony has only started for a short time, and Anna Prinz, who is part of the crew, has already stepped onto the podium several times.
Transformers successively won three awards for best editing, best visual effects, and best film music. Representatives from Hasbro also took home a trophy for best actor for Optimus Prime.
certainly. The most important ones are the best director and the best movie awards of several popular genres.
There was hardly any suspense. Duke successfully took home the best director trophy. He didn't say much, because he only prepared an acceptance speech. He just thanked him and walked off the stage.
He just walked back to the front stage from the backstage, when he saw a brown-haired actress standing on the stage and chanting. Best Sci-Fi Film is...Transformers!
Amid the applause, Duke stepped onto the stage of the Holy Citizen Auditorium again, and gently embraced the brown-haired actress in charge of presenting the award, Thank you, Miss Portman.
Natalie? Portman did not speak. Just maintaining the smile on his face, he handed the trophy to Duke.
After saying the polite words, Duke stopped looking at the former idol and stood in front of the microphone. As representatives of Optimus Prime and Megatron on Earth, I would like to thank the fans for their support!
He held up the trophy in his hands. This award is the best affirmation of the hard work of me and the entire crew in the past year. We worked hard and exhausted our efforts to make a movie, just to get your appreciation! The audience's love will always be my greatest motivation!
Thank you! Duke waved in all directions.
There was once again warm applause in the auditorium. Natalie Portman was standing on the side of the stage, smiling and applauding, but she kept complaining in her heart, the other party was always focusing on the audience's wallet!
Although the two have not been together for a long time, she is very clear that they have many things in common, such as trying to create an excellent public image, such as never telling their true purpose.
She and he are both covered with a thick layer of camouflage!
Even though they haven't seen each other for several years, Natalie Portman is sure of this.
After the applause died down, Natalie turned around and walked into the backstage first, but her brown eyes still drifted to the side and rear, and the tall figure was walking slightly behind on the left.
Holding the trophy, Duke looked at that petite figure, whom he hadn't seen for a few years. Natalie Portman looked more and more like the one in his memory.
A few years ago, he had seen this girl's scheming, and now he has no intention of continuing to associate with her.
Just walking into the backstage, Martin Miller came over. He nodded to Natalie Portman first, and then greeted Duke affectionately.
Nat turned out to be your award presenter, Martin Miller stood in front of Duke with Natalie Portman, It's incredible.
There were people coming and going backstage, and Duke would not turn a blind eye to Natalie Portman in a rude manner, and said with a smile, I didn't think of it either.
He offered a hand, Long time no see, Nat.
Hi, Duke. Natalie shook his hand lightly, showing a slightly stiff and reserved smile.
Compared to her, Duke was no different from usual, and casually said, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown up.
Martin Miller knew something about the past between the two. He remembered that Duke and Natalie had a good relationship, but they stopped seeing each other for some reason.
When will the new film be prepared? Martin Miller said naturally, I heard someone mention that there will be an unusual female character in your new film?
Duke didn't deny it either, and nodded slightly.
Martin Miller's eyes fell on Natalie, What do you think of Nat?
Sorry. Duke also went around in circles and directly refused, I already have a candidate for the heroine.
On the other side, there was a slight hint of disappointment in Natalie's eyes.
Since the end of the Star Wars series, her development has been quite unsatisfactory, and everything seems to have stayed at the stage of Padmé Amidala. The few films she starred in were extremely mediocre in terms of box office and influence, completely different from what she imagined. different.
Although the Jewish forces in Hollywood recognize her as one of their own and will give priority to her under the same conditions, but without good works and good roles, these are not enough for her to realize her dream.
Natalie is very clear that the success of the Star Wars prequel series has nothing to do with her, and neither the industry nor the industry will give credit to her. If she wants to become a first-line star in Hollywood, she must prove herself.
It's just that there are too many actors in Hollywood who want to prove themselves, how many of them are lucky?
The most typical example is Haicheng Christensen, who starred with her in the prequels of the Star Wars. The idol who was so popular back then can only dawdle in some low-end movies.
This is not the life she wants, and it is more difficult than she imagined to be a winner.
She looked at Duke, as long as he wanted to, making an actor popular is a breeze.
If she had been as mature as she is now, she would not have made such a low-level mistake.
If you want to be successful in Hollywood, you can’t take face into account, especially for agents. Martin Miller has no intention of giving up. What about other female characters? Are there any other heavyweight female characters?
It was impossible for Duke to delay here for too long, so he said directly, They are all vase-type roles. Martin, if Natalie is interested, you can contact Tina to participate in the audition at that time. You should know her phone number.
After speaking, Duke looked at his watch, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first.
Watching Duke turn and walk away, Martin Miller frowned slightly, turned his head, and said to Natalie, Nat, I don't know what kind of conflict you have with him, and I don't think it will be any worse than when he and The contradiction between Tom Cruise is sharp, and in this circle, there is no contradiction that cannot be resolved.
He sighed, I read the script of the heroine's role at Warner Bros. Although it is an action movie, this role is really rare. As long as the film can be one-third as successful as Transformers, it will be enough Reverse your stereotyped image of Padmé Amidala.
Gently patted Natalie's arm, Martin Miller didn't say anything, he knew that the opposite was an extremely realistic smart woman.
Walking out of the backstage, Duke returned to the auditorium after receiving a routine interview in the interview area. The meeting just now was automatically ignored by him. He had made a mistake a few years ago, and he didn't want to come again. His idol is only a representative of the past, and he must not look at it with the eyes of the past, just like how he liked Sean Connery's few movies when he was old, but he still tried his best to deal with him without hesitation.
Natalie Portman That's just the past.
Compared to Charlize Theron, she does not conform to the setting of the heroine of the new project in terms of image. As for other vase roles, regardless of whether she is suitable or not, with the character of Natalie Portman, she will play Is such a dispensable role?
The most suitable candidates for those roles are the angels of Victoria's Secret.
Awards are still being handed out one after another. Regardless of whether the Saturn Awards are really fair or not, all award-winning films have one characteristic - they are all winners in the film market and have an extremely wide audience.
Films that were not favored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, such as Sweeney Todd and I Am Legend, took home heavyweight awards at the Saturn Awards.
The biggest winner of this year's Saturn Awards is Transformers, which has won the most awards. This has also become the latest publicity and hype point of Warner Bros., and it has also boosted the film's slowing box office harvest momentum once again. (to be continued ^)
