Chapter 491： Good show opening

In front of the sacred auditorium, the college set up a large screen so that those who participated in the red carpet but could not enter the auditorium can watch the awards ceremony. Both Hollywood and Oscars have a strong business atmosphere. The slippery **** is bound to affect the awards ceremony, and the academy has taken great pains for the ratings.

Thousands of spectators gathered in front of the big screen, and of course those young and beautiful women were indispensable.

This team is definitely the focus of the organizing committee's prevention. Just in case, they simply declined these people to enter the venue.

The sky gradually dimmed and the big screen was officially launched. After a short opening, Steve Martin stood under Mr. Oscar on the stage.

After experiencing the infinite reincarnation of Billy Christo and Ubi Gordonborg, the Oscars of the new century finally ushered in a new host, the comedian who is known as the Hollywood white-headed man, the host style Tend to be more vulgar.

Routine opening jokes are of course indispensable, and the federal government is always the most suitable object of ridicule, because as long as the jokes are said, even if all politicians are described as pigs, the Washington authorities will not jump out to make trouble.

Steve Martin unceremoniously ridiculed the federal government’s foreign and tax policies, and said directly, “Oh, I’m telling you the unfortunate news that Hollywood’s long-awaited tax cuts are gone. We can go back and raise money to prepare for tax returns. ."

Perhaps it is the first time to host the Oscars. Steve Martin obviously has problems with the scale of jokes, especially when he mentioned the **** group in a ridiculous tone, it will definitely attract protests from **** organizations afterwards.

"We live in a great country, where we don't have to pay the price of our lives for freedom and republic."

After praising Julia Roberts’ makeup, Steve Martin looked at Ryan’s location, “A tragedy like Gladiator won’t happen in Los Angeles. How charming Ryan is in the movie, Just ask the girls outside the theater. Fortunately, he finally started a relationship..."

The lens gave Charlize Theron a close-up that lasted several seconds. South African Diamonds showed a charming smile.

"It's not easy to maintain a relationship or marriage in Hollywood..."

Steve Martin went to the other side. Suddenly spread his hands and said, "Because we have slept too many people."

This sentence came out. The whole theater was in an uproar, especially the Hollywood industry insiders in the front row, most of them put away their smiles.

"This should be the last time he has hosted an Oscar."

Speaking to Charlize in a low voice, Ryan couldn't help but shook his head. He knew that the other party was not targeting himself, but he didn't grasp the scale of the joke.

However, there are some things that even if everyone in Hollywood knows it, even if the public in the United States knows it, they can't be told on the stage, not to mention that it is still broadcast to the world on occasions like Oscars.

Old Martin will definitely be on the blacklist of the academy. I am afraid that there will be no second chance to host the Oscar in this life.

Steve Martin on the stage also knew that he had gone too far. I immediately changed the subject, "The one sitting over there is Ann Lee. When I first heard of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", I never thought it would be a movie..."

The atmosphere in the theater is much colder than before. Ryan didn't bother to listen to Steve Martin's vulgar jokes, and simply stared at the huge golden figure on the stage.

"What are you thinking?" Charlize Theron leaned over and reminded in a low voice, "It's about to begin."

On the stage, Steve Martin has given way, and the first award is about to be awarded. As the guest of award for best supporting actor, last year's best supporting actress Angelina Jolie stood in the middle of the stage holding a big envelope. .

"A great movie needs not only a protagonist, but also an excellent supporting role." The actress who caused a turmoil last year because of her acceptance speech talked freely. "Benecio Del Todd in "Drug Network" The performance was impressive. William Fuda's performance in "The Phantom of the Vampire" softened dreams and reality. Leonardo DiCaprio perfectly performed the sinister and despicable emperor in "Gladiator", Jeff? The role of Bridges in "Competitor"..."

Leonardo on the other side is obviously a little nervous. This is normal. He has become a Hollywood star. With the success of the series of commercial masterpiece "Mission Impossible", this handsome boy naturally wants to make a difference at the Oscars.

Unfortunately, it turns out that young people, especially the more handsome young people, do not recruit the college.

"Finally, the winner is..." Angelina Jolie read out the answer directly without making any appetites, "Benecio del Todd from "Drug Network"!"

Although Xiao Li kept smiling and applauded, Ryan saw the disappointment and patted his arm lightly, "There is still a chance in the future, Leon."

"I will come again next year."

Hearing Leonardo's words, Ryan couldn't help but think that now Xiao Li will be stunned by Oscars, right? If this is the case, it won't take long for him to become a full-faced uncle.

However, the academy’s discrimination against young people is obvious. They would rather hand over the award to an older Latino than to consider several other newly emerging young actors.

Will you be as tragic as Leonardo? Ryan subconsciously poked his face. In case of failure this time, would he have to change his image?

He quickly gave up this idea, as long as his plan is successful, he will not play with the Academy and Oscar in the future.

"My dear, stop thinking about it."

The careful Charlize seemed to have guessed his thoughts and whispered, "Don't forget, you are different from Leon."

Nodding, Ryan took Charlize's hand and turned his attention back to the stage.

"Drug Network" is indeed the strongest opponent. At the beginning, all the competitors were given a good start. After winning the best supporting actor, it took back the best editing from Russell Crowe as the guest of honor. The little golden man, the two producers of Focus Pictures, became the people with the brightest smiles in the theater.

"Gladiator" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also received nominations for best editing, but at the same time lost to "Drug Network", especially "Gladiator", losing to "Drug Network" in two consecutive awards. It seems to be developing in the direction of tragedy.

After Ben Affleck and Annette Bening introduced the best film nominations of "Quiet" and "Chocolate," Lee became the first Chinese female singer to be on the Oscar stage and sang The theme song of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was nominated for best original song. Although the dancers showed some oriental culture, unfortunately, they can only sing in English.

The next best original screenplay and best supporting actress have nothing to do with him. Ryan spends most of the time chatting with Charlize and Leonnan in low voices.

"Gladiator" was nominated for the best original screenplay in its previous life, but it was a novel when it first came out in this life, so it entered the ranks of the best adapted screenplay.

"Some inconspicuous original works, after film adaptation, tend to emit a brilliant light..."

The wide and fat Tom Hanks stood on the stage as the guest of honor, "The winner of the award for best adapted screenplay is... Stephen Garhan, "Drug Network"!"

The crew of "Drug Network" was full of cheers. There was only sparse applause near Ryan, and the people around him gave comforting eyes, but he himself didn't care much.

Generally speaking, movies that have won the screenplay award tend to take the lead in the best director or best picture, but Ryan’s biggest goal is not originally these two awards. These messy awards have a certain comforting nature. In some ways, it might be a good thing to lose it.

However, losing to "Drug Network" in three consecutive awards, "Gladiator" was also unlucky enough, because the previous film only received five Oscar nominations.

Such bad luck can't last, otherwise Ryan's high-intensity public relations will not be exhausted? Since the academy did not disclose any dissatisfaction in advance, "Gladiator" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will definitely not become tragedies.

When Chow Yun-fat and Michelle Yeoh, their partners in the movie, stood together on the stage and presented the golden figure with the best visual effect, Ryan's surroundings fell into a boil for the first time, and "Gladiator" also won tonight. The first award.

The hardest thing in the world is often the first step, as if Oscar is also confirming this rule, then "Gladiator" got the best sound effects and best costume design one after another, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also got the best photography and the most Good art direction.

Especially for the best soundtrack, Tan Dun became the second Chinese musician to win this award.

The award ceremony entered the second half As happened before, Ang Lee took over the Golden Man of the best foreign language film from Juliet Binoche, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became the only winner. A Chinese-language movie with an Oscar for Best Picture.

In order to cooperate with Ryan and Harvey Weinstein's public relations work, Ang Lee has focused all his energy on this movie from the day he got Palme d’Or. At this time, he wanted to taste it, and it seemed a little bit on the stage. Excited, the acceptance speech simply read out according to the note prepared in advance.

He thanked all the crew from the actors to the producers, and finally a special thanks.

"Finally, I want to thank Ryan. He gave me the opportunity to direct this film and gave me the opportunity to stand on this stage. The success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is inseparable from his support. Thank you Rui Well, thank you Harvey, thank you Jenkins Pictures and Weinstein Pictures."

The camera naturally found Ryan and Harvey Weinstein, and both of them clapped their palms vigorously.

Ang Lee is a smart person and very good at being a man. He understands the importance of integrating into Hollywood. Otherwise, if he fails, he will be like those from Hong Kong, where he will come and go. ()
