Chapter 434 Golden Melody

The opening performance ended with a guitar fingerpicking recorded by Luo Quan.

After singing a song, most singers usually close their eyes and gently sway their body during the ending accompaniment, as if they are intoxicated.

However, the Oscar ceremony was not her concert, so the process of intoxication was omitted by her. After the song, the audience applauded, thanked them and returned to their seats.

"Your singing skills seem to have improved a bit." Leon tilted his head and said to Luo Quan.

"Your ears are so good?" Luo Quan was surprised. Her singing skills had indeed improved after the Chinese New Year, but there was no level breakthrough.

There have been so many new songs released in the past few days, but no one has heard any clues about it. I didn't expect Leon to hear it.

"Maybe this is talent." Leon smiled proudly, "Although I'm not as good at singing as you, my hearing has always been excellent. Sometimes a singer sings the same song twice, and I can hear her pitch and pitch. The change."

This talent sounds pretty awesome at first, but when I think about it, it seems to be useless.

Being a live music critic would definitely come in handy.

It's a pity that the bonus to Lyon is not very big.

If it were placed in ancient China, even if he practiced some martial arts, he would still be a heroic hero in Ke Zhen E's profession.

I was having random thoughts in my heart, but the award ceremony on stage had already begun.

First, the host speaks.

This time the Oscar invited Ed Robb, who has won two Oscars for best actor, a tall and handsome actor, full of melancholy.

Although he is only thirty years old, he has actually been in the industry for twenty years. Stars sitting in the front row who are about the same age as him have to call him "senior" when they see him.

This senior didn't seem to be in a good mood today. His eyes were half-open as usual, looking at whoever he was looking at as if someone owed him money and hadn't paid back.

However, this has always been his facial feature, which is quite recognizable on the big screen. Many of his fans love him to death because of this.

"Before the awards officially begin, I want to say one thing to all the guests who are about to take the stage to receive the awards." Ed's voice sounded deep and magnetic:

“First of all, this is the Oscars ceremony, not the United Nations General Assembly. We don’t need you to come up and express your insights on the future of mankind, the suffering of society, or other vulnerable groups.

All the guests need to do is to go on stage to receive the award, thank everyone you should thank, and then step down and thank everyone for their cooperation. "

It was obviously a very rude statement, but because of his polite tone and extremely gentlemanly appearance, it made it hard to get angry at all.

Having said that, the guests in the audience did not feel offended by this sentence.

In fact, before the Oscar ceremony, when the three major film festivals were awarding awards, many award-winning guests did not talk about their works after receiving the awards. Instead, they called everyone's attention to where there was another famine, where there was another terrorist attack, where there was another There are special groups that are discriminated against.

Is it useful to talk about these high-end topics in a place like this?

It must be useful, because this is the top palace of film and entertainment, attracting the attention of the world every time it is held.

But can it attract the attention of governments around the world? Obviously impossible.

To put it bluntly, these celebrities are just taking this opportunity to say some compassionate words, so as to establish themselves as a great and pioneering persona.

In fact, it is just a way of hype.

However, the organizers of the Oscars are not used to this and simply ask the host to say hello before awarding the awards.

Saying a few words is always the easiest thing, but few people actually take action.

Didn’t you see that after Luo Quan showed the invoices proving that she had donated hundreds of millions of dollars worth of food and materials to poor children in Africa during the New York trial, even the black people who were most prejudiced against her now regard her as an angel? Don't mess with her anymore.

The sharp eyes of the people have always been able to tell clearly who has a pure and kind heart and is doing real things, and who is just talking and talking for the sake of traffic.

After the greetings were completed, the awards ceremony officially began.

The first award was for costume design. Luo Quan's eyes lit up. "Lord of the Rings" had no rival for this award this year!

For a masterpiece that took three years to prepare for the preliminary work alone, the most labor-intensive part was the costumes.

"Lord of the Rings" made very rigorous efforts to restore the original costumes. It made reference to many medieval-style clothes, especially chainmail and armor, and basically achieved a one-to-one restoration.

It can be said that even the armor worn by a passerby who only appears in one scene in "The Lord of the Rings" is an exquisite handicraft that can be sold at a high price.

It would be unreasonable not to win an award for such a costume design.

Sure enough, after the four nominated films flashed on the big screen one by one, the award presenter took out the card from the envelope and read: "The winner of this year's Best Costume Design is "The Lord of the Rings"!"

All the guests applauded thunderously, congratulating Director Ford who came out on top today.

Director Ford was not particularly excited. He just accepted the award with a smile, thanked the crew members responsible for the work, and also thanked the Oscar judges.

Luo Quan has always had a high level of observation, and she saw that although Director Ford had a smile on his face, his eyes looked a little lonely.

Director Ford, who has always been optimistic, could only become like this because he had received some news about the winning prospects of "The Lord of the Rings" before the awards ceremony.

Thinking of what Lyon said, the business district has never been favored by academics like Oscar. "The Lord of the Rings" may have encountered a Waterloo this time.

Even though they won an award right away, if it weren't for the large number of heavyweights, these leftovers would really not be that exciting.

After all, Director Ford is also a great director who has won Best Director and the Academy Award, and he has long been on a different level from ordinary directors.

If you want to be on par with those great directors on Presidential Hill, you can only win more Best Directors and Best Pictures.

However, it seems that the situation for the first part of "Lord of the Rings" is not very optimistic at present.

The award ceremony continued, and soon it came to the award that Luo Quan was most concerned about: Best Original Song, also known as the Oscar Golden Song.

For a musician, the two most important awards are the Grammy and the Oscar.

Luo Quan originally thought that winning the Grammy was within his grasp, but because of the release of the "Love" album, he just missed the Grammy Award that year, so the Oscar-winning song came first.

"The last nominee is the theme song of "Lord of the Rings", "May it be" sung by Luo Quan." During the nomination stage, the host quickly read Luo Quan's name: "Luo Quan used her heavenly voice to The ethereal sound gives the audience in the movie an immersive feeling, as if they are in the magical and magnificent world of Middle-earth..."

The audience in the audience burst out laughing when they heard this. Isn't this an award-winning comment?

But it was not beyond everyone's expectation. All the celebrities present had gone to the theater to watch "The Lord of the Rings". The interlude sung by Luo Quan was really beautiful beyond their imagination.

Ethereal, remote, and holy are the first keywords that come to the mind of the listener. Among so many songs, this is the only one that can be called a soul-purifying song.

"The winner is - "May it be"." The award presenter on the stage did not show off and happily announced this year's Oscar golden song.

"Nice!" Luo Quan took a deep breath, and his hanging heart finally dropped.

After high-fiving Leon next to him, Luo Quan held up her skirt and ran up with a smile on her face.

Seeing such a beautiful girl makes even stones bloom with flowers.

Ed, who had been a cold-faced gentleman for half an hour, now showed a sincere smile and handed the trophy to Luo Quan.

"Thank you, thank you all." Luo Quan's hand holding the trophy was trembling slightly. Although he was very excited, he was not ready to cry.

"Thank you to Director Ford for trusting me to compose this theme song for "The Lord of the Rings", and I also want to thank the judges for their recognition of me."

Luo Quan paused, calmed down, and continued: "Actually, many people said that I was going to win the award before this, but before the results came out, I was always worried about gains and losses, and even prepared to accompany me on the run. psychological preparation.

But the process was less twisty than I expected. I thought it would be like those vulgar award shows I watched on TV. Halfway through the list, the host suddenly said that there would be an advertisement next. My heart may not be able to bear such ups and downs. "

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience burst into knowing laughter.

In fact, not only in China, but also in these TV award ceremonies all over the world, they basically follow the same routine. Things that can be said in one sentence must be dragged down like the old woman's foot bindings.

"Anyway, I would like to thank everyone who supports me. I hope I can win the Oscars next year." Finally, Luo Quan expressed his little ambition and walked off the stage with the trophy.

Previously, Director Carnason really hoped that Luo Quan could play the role of the heroine Rose in "Titanic", but after learning about her relationship with Leon, this idea could only be scrapped.

Originally scheduled to play a supporting role in the movie, Luo Quan was forced to cancel because he was busy with too many things at the time and had no schedule.

However, after Director Carnason saw Luo Quan singing a song for "Lord of the Rings", he found that the effect was surprisingly good, so he also sent her an application to sing.

His original words were that he wanted to make an eternal classic that would be remembered by the world, and that he wanted to eulogize the great love that never gives up.

I wonder, does this still need to be done?

It took Luo Quan thirty seconds to send him the song "My Heart Will Go On" with the following text: "This is the most suitable song I can think of. There is nothing better than this song."

The skeptical Director Carnason clicked play and sent her a series of exclamation marks five minutes later.

There is no need to say more about what it represents.

In fact, Luo Quan's words are still a little too absolute. This song is definitely not at its best yet.

When she sang last year, her singing skills were not as mature as they are now. The biggest problem was that she had no emotion.

And if this kind of love song wants to be deeply touching, the most important thing is emotion.

After redeeming Teacher Gong's star card and singing a song "Little River Flowing Water", she finally got the hang of integrating emotions into her voice. The emotional aspects of her subsequent songs were no longer her shortcomings. At this point, her singing skills have been completely perfected, and there are no dead spots anymore.

However, she did not record a new version of the song "My Heart Will Go On". On the one hand, there was no need for it for the time being.

On the other hand, when this song came out, many good people said that she had had a vigorous life-or-death love affair, which is why she was able to create such a poignant classic.

This rumor was so popular at the time that even Wen Xia believed it and ran to her room crying to comfort her.

If she suddenly records a new version of this song now, these rumors that no one has mentioned again may be brought up again.

At that time, the argument of the melon-eaters was probably more tenable: You also said that you have never been in love, so what do you want to sing again?

In view of this, Luo Quan has never sang a better "My Heart Will Go On" again.

Even when singing to fans in the live broadcast room, she deliberately avoided this song.

The main thing is to give everyone a surprise when the movie is released.

Compared with the theme song of "Lord of the Rings", Luo Quan feels that this song will definitely move the audience more.

After all, love has always been one of the hottest and most touching topics among human beings.

Perhaps the audience in the audience still didn’t know the reason for her bold words at this time. After all, it’s not known what other movies she has composed theme songs for.

There is only one movie released this year that she participated in, "Resident Evil". How could such a B-level horror film be on the Oscar stage?

However, this year has been so long that it is not impossible for Luo Quan to compose a theme song for a movie again.

With her talent, the chances of her coming back to receive the award next year are really high!

"Are you talking about "Titanic"?" Leon was the smartest, and he quickly thought of this and asked his sister in a low voice.

"See through without telling the truth, leaving suspense for those who don't know." Luo Quan was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth were always rising.

Compared with here, Director Ford's mood was not very beautiful.

Although "Lord of the Rings" went on to win the awards for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Visual Effects, and Best Cinematography.

But in the case of the most important big prizes, they still failed in the end.

There is a nomination for Best Actor, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this kind of performance with a green screen is not liked by the Oscars at all.

It's even more ridiculous for a movie queen. Luo Quan's number one in the world refers to his looks, not his acting skills.

If a role like this, with a role that lasts less than half an hour, can win the Best Actress award, the judges will be blind. No matter how beautiful she is, she is not so beautiful that it makes people lose their minds.

For Best Director and Best Picture, only one nomination was given, but in the end, other films won the prize.

Although "The Lord of the Rings" has become the most awarded film at this year's Oscars, with five awards, it seems more like the jury's compensation for it.

In the end, Director Ford ended his Oscar journey with a sigh.
