Chapter 1195

This is Langley's first meeting with Annie.

Lan Li politely put his hands behind him, showing a shallow smile, "hold on, worry about the thief."

Only those who have really experienced the kind of "standing on the top of the sky but can't help worrying about gain and loss" can taste the deep meaning and complexity of this light sentence, and the tacit understanding between them builds a bridge.

Annie's eyes flickered slightly. She lowered her eyes and pulled out a smile. When she raised her eyes again, there was a touch of sincerity in her eyes. She didn't hide her excitement and excitement. She could even vaguely feel her gently shaking shoulders. "In front of the experiencer, there is no need to disguise." Calm words with a hint of playfulness, and then also blinked.

Then, Annie gently raised the little golden man in her hand. Her green fingers tightened again, and she could see the white fingertips, "don't worry, I will treasure it." With that, Annie's pale pink lips rose, blooming with a wanton style and light. This is the first time after winning the prize that she really released the joy and happiness in her heart.

In 2005, "Brokeback Mountain" became famous all over the world, and shook the whole pattern of Oscar, even changed the historical process of gay film.

At that time, the four leading actors, Heath Ledger, Jack Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway, were all praised by professional film critics. However, during the whole award season, the other three leading actors all received many nominations and praises and swept the whole army. Only Anne became the laggard and was almost completely forgotten.

Only you know what it's like. She began to doubt that she was not a good actor, or even a qualified actor, maybe it was not the right way for her. However, step by step, she eventually walked out of a road of her own.

Annie once again gestured to Lan Li with the little golden man in her hand, "good luck tonight."

This is to wish good luck to the best actor fight later on.

Blue Li pursed the corners of his mouth, eyebrows gently picked, "then, I may need a lot of good luck." After all, Daniel Day Lewis is the biggest hit.

A self tease successfully makes the atmosphere light again.

Once again, the two nodded to each other. Without too much words, Annie left the waiting room, while lanli entered the waiting room.

Then the work became more and more busy. The staff came to communicate with lanli and confirmed lanli's award speech. If there was any, they needed to polish it; If not, they can provide and explain the whole award process. During this period, people pass by intermittently and take the initiative to say hello to Lan Li. However, Lan Li has no time and energy to socialize and can only nod his head.

After all the work is ready, standing in the waiting room for a little five minutes, the staff guide Lan Li to the side platform.

This is a relatively narrow and dim space, with only a cream desk lamp supporting a small halo. The vision is really limited.

There is a huge conference table on the left side, on which are neatly placed the little golden man trophy which has not finished the lettering. At this time, most of it has been empty, leaving only the last ten odd seats, which also indicates that the award ceremony is coming to an end.

Next to the conference table stood a staff member, with a headset, communicating with the on-site director at any time. She looked back and said in a low voice, "lenley hall, get in place; Raleigh hall, in position. " Just now, the staff who guided Lan Li to the side table responded in a low voice, "ready."

A staff member on the right hand politely patted Lan Li's arm, "Hello, I'm a make-up artist. Do you need a final make-up?"

In such a narrow space, dark and sultry, it is easy to sweat if you are not careful. For actresses, they may need to make up in time; For the actor, it is not a wise choice to go on stage with a full face. Therefore, the organizing committee arranged the final makeup staff on the side stage.

"Here it is?" Lan Li chuckled and expressed his doubts. Then the makeup artist raised his right hand, gently shook it, turned on the flashlight, and then turned it off, indicating that he had the help of a small tool to complete the makeup work even in the dark. This made Lan Li chuckle and said, "it's really smart."

The makeup artist chuckled, but still asked, "make up?"

Blue Li waved his hand and said gentlemanly, "no, thank you."

Then you can see the make-up artist get out of the way and signal Lan Li to move forward, "be careful under your feet, there are many wires here."

Before the voice fell, the makeup artist tripped and staggered for two steps. Fortunately, Lan Li grasped her arm in time, which avoided a disaster. Then he could hear Lan Li say in a deep voice, "thank you for reminding me." a joke made the makeup artist's cheek burn slightly. Rao Shi had been through a lot of battles, and he couldn't help dropping his eyes at this time, I didn't dare to look into Langley's eyes.

Fortunately, the dark is the best cover, which did not expose their own embarrassment.

After Lan Li made sure that the makeup artist was standing, the gentleman released his hands and nodded politely. Then he made a small arc and continued to move forward. Then he could see the two auditors on the right side of the wine red curtain, a man and a woman, dressed up and elegant.

The man is reading his mobile phone with relish, casting his eyes on the stage through the curtain from time to time; And the woman came forward and said, "good evening, I'm Martha Ruiz from PricewaterhouseCoopers."

"Good evening." Lan Li also nodded his regards.

Martha immediately handed the golden envelope in her hand to lanli, "this is the winning envelope for best actress."

"Are you sure?" Lan Li asked in a mischievous way.

Martha's expression suddenly froze, completely did not understand the meaning of this sentence, "what did you say?"

Lan Li chuckled and shook his head. "No, I'm just too nervous. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake, so I'll just confirm it. This is the envelope for the best actress, right? "

Martha's face was full of strangeness and consternation, as if she was looking at an alien: it turns out that the top superstar in Hollywood is actually a child who hasn't grown up? Just like Kevin, the kid in charge?

Originally, Martha was still a little curious and excited. After all, there were so many mysterious auras around lanli that she discussed with her partner, Brian Cullinan, and took over the job of submitting the envelope. But now, it seems that she was greatly disappointed.

Sure enough, Hollywood's reputation is full of disappointing empty vases.

So, when Martha stopped, she nodded in dismay, "yes, that's it. Well, good luck. "

Watching Martha turn around and leave, the corner of lanli's mouth rises happily.

On February 26, 2017, the 80th Academy Awards ceremony coincided with the 50th anniversary of the release of the epoch-making "male and female thieves", so the main committee invited two leading actors Warren Beatty and Fei donnavi to be the best picture awarding guests.

When the winner was announced, Warren opened the envelope and took out the card, but then he was surprised. Because the card was wrong, it was the best actress's winning card, not the best picture's winning card. Warren didn't know why. He even felt absurd and uninhibited, so he handed the card to his partner and asked what was going on.

As a result, Donna Wei misunderstood Warren's meaning and thought that the other party politely gave up the right to announce the winner to herself. So she looked down and announced the winner, "the city of love".

Cheers from the whole audience, congratulations on the "city of love" sweeping the whole award ceremony.

But then Warren and Donna Wei came to the side stage. After further inquiry and confirmation, they realized that they really took the wrong envelope. After changing the correct envelope, the winning speech of the "love city" crew had finished, and then there was the biggest Wulong scene in history——

Jordan Horowitz, producer of the city of love, held up the right card, corrected the mistake, and announced the right winner, "Moonlight boy.".

All of the mistakes came from the two auditors in front of Langley: Martha Luz and Brian currinan.

Every year, the statistics of Oscar votes are completed by PricewaterhouseCoopers accounting firm. Eight auditors participate in the counting of votes. In the end, only two auditors know the results. They are responsible for delivering the winning list on the night of the award ceremony and participating in the whole party. In the past 80 years, the whole statistical process has been the same, and has never changed or made any mistakes.

All along, in order to avoid mistakes or mistakes, PwC will prepare two envelopes, which will be carried by the last two auditors who know the results. During the award ceremony, each time an award is announced, two auditors will submit one envelope and leave another envelope to ensure the results are correct.

Since 2010, the job has been done by Martha and Bryan.

But on that night in 2017, Martha and Bryan were busy brushing the social network information on their mobile phones. When they handed in the envelope at the last important moment, they handed another envelope for the best actress to Warren and Donna Wei - the envelope that announced the best actress was always in Emma stone's hands.

Thus, the biggest Oolong in film history was born.

After the award result is revised, you can calculate the psychological shadow area of Damien chazelle, the director of "Philharmonic city".

When he saw Martha and Bryan so close, it was inevitable that lanli would be embarrassed and make fun of them. But obviously, no one could understand his jokes. Now lanli is curious. History has changed a lot. Will the Oolong still appear in 2017?

Between thinking, the award speech on stage is over.
