This was the third time the name of the Treasured Lotus Lantern was mentioned. But this time, the ones who were hurt the most were the filmmakers of Hua Xia. Many of them thought that their masterpiece would definitely win the Best Hua Xia Film Award, but in the end, it fell to the Treasured Lotus Lantern.
What made many filmmakers of Hua Xia dissatisfied was that the Treasured Lotus Lantern didn't have a high rating in Hua Xia. After all, many people gave it a low rating when they saw the word "animation".
Moreover, the plot of the Treasured Lotus Lantern was different from the original story. It was criticized for making things up. Anyway, the movie didn't have a high rating. It didn't deserve to win at all.
However, the Daqian Entertainment had a huge influence in Hua Xia. Although the filmmakers of Hua Xia were dissatisfied, none of them dared to show it on their faces.
If they dared, the Daqian Entertainment would directly ban them. As long as the Daqian Entertainment banned them, no matter how famous they were, even if they were one of the Four Heavenly Kings, it was guaranteed that they would disappear from the entertainment circle in an instant.
Therefore, the audience applauded enthusiastically. Then, the representative of the Treasured Lotus Lantern went up to receive the award. Boss Jia and Old Man Dai didn't move.
After the Best Hua Xia Film Award was given out, the atmosphere of the whole venue became more solemn. Because all the small individual awards had been given out so far. The next award was the main event of the ceremony.
Best Actor and Actress, Best Director, Best Film, and the highest film achievement award that might appear this year.
All of these awards were worth more than 50 million dollars, which was enough to cover the cost of a film.
The first award was the Best Actor. In history, the winner was Russell, the male lead of The Duelist. However, there was an accident this year. The Best Actor was won by Frodo.
In fact, Boss Jia couldn't be blamed. It was because Russell's scandal broke out before the movie was released. In the end, he was hated by the audience and lost in the audience's voting.
Therefore, the award was fortunately given to Frodo. This Yodel … Oh, no, the Hobbit's performance won the hearts of the audience.
Especially when he was faced with the temptation of the One Ring and the final battle of wills in front of the volcano magma, countless audience members were surprised.
This was the Best Actor award speech, but it still caused a huge controversy. Many people thought that Frodo's acting skills were not enough to support the Best Actor award. It was only because of the popularity of The Lord of the Rings 3. Everyone wanted to give this super epic a perfect ending, so they gave Frodo a score that did not match his acting skills.
To tell the truth, the remark was true, for Elijah Wood, the actor of Frodo, was not very good.
Back then, "The Lord of the Rings" had swept the entire Academy Awards, but in the end, it did not win the Best Actor Award. This also explained a little.
However, Elijah Wood's acting skills were not too bad. Many experts criticized the selection system of the Golden Dragon Awards because of this. They said that it was not appropriate to give it to the audience who were easily swayed by emotions. They said that the right to choose should be given back to the experts. Only then could they choose a truly good film.
Haha.
Then, the Best Actress award was taken away by Julia Roberts. The audience finally reached the climax. Who would win the Best Director award that had received so much attention?
Scott, the director of Gladiator, Lee An, the director of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Peter Jackson, the director of The Lord of the Rings 3. The hearts of these three favorites began to beat wildly.
In the media's previous predictions, these three directors were almost on par. Each of them had their own reasons for winning the award.
The scenes of Gladiator were indeed spectacular. At the same time, the overall performance was excellent. If it weren't for The Lord of the Rings 3, Gladiator would have been invincible in terms of the movie's poetic sense.
In history, the winner of the Best Director award was also Gladiator.
However, with The Lord of the Rings 3, everything was different. In terms of grandeur, The Lord of the Rings 3 was even better than The Lord of the Rings 3. However, The Lord of the Rings 3 topped the box office and had the support of the previous two movies. Many fans of The Lord of the Rings 3 were already clamoring to give the best director award to Peter Jackson.
Lee An was the last one. In fact, in the media's opinion, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was not as good as the other two movies. However, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was the story of Hua Xia. Hua Xia's scenes, Hua Xia's actors, and Hua Xia's director. Such a movie would be very popular with Jia Yapeng. Maybe Boss Jia would designate it as the Best Director.
Therefore, these directors had their own reasons for winning. They were not as generous as Spielberg, Cameron, and Lucas, who treated 50 million dollars as a small sum of money.
They all looked nervously at the guest on stage and the envelope in his hand.
This time, the guest in charge of presenting the award was Marlon Brando.
The old man's name sounded like a bottle of wine, but he was a real mogul in Hollywood. He was known as the male lead of one of the most classic movies in history, The Godfather. He had a group of loyal fans in Hua Xia and all over the world. He was a god-like actor in the film industry.
Although this gentleman had retired from the industry for a long time, this big shot walked up the stage with trembling steps to present the Golden Dragon Award. This meant that the Golden Dragon Award had been fully recognized by the big shots in Hollywood. This also put an end to the Oscars once again.
Marlon Brando opened the envelope with the help of Xiao Li, who was beside him. He glanced at it, and then read it in broken Chinese, "Let us congratulate Mr. Dai Tielang, the director of the movie 'Lotus Lamp', for winning the Best Director Award of the fourth Golden Dragon Awards!"
“what？？？” For a moment, all the black faces were filled with question marks. Then, they all looked at the seat where Boss Jia was sitting.
At this moment, with the help of Boss Jia, Dai Tielang, who hadn't moved all this while, slowly stood up and walked out of his seat step by step.
"Teacher, please be careful!" Boss Jia said in a low voice.
"Haha, if it weren't for you, this old man could walk as fast as flying now!" Dai Tielang said with a smile. "So this is what it feels like to be on the podium. Under the gaze of thousands of people, it is really intoxicating. This old man is about to fall into it!"
"Actually, it doesn't mean anything. You're just being a monkey!" Boss Jia said.
"No, this is not being a monkey. This is the recognition of all the audience!" Dai Tielang said faintly. However, at this time, the audience's eyes did not seem to recognize him. Instead, there was a lot of anger.
