"I believe that this day is great and worth remembering, as we usher in a new era in the film industry. Douglas impassionedly turned and pointed to the back of the stage: "And here, we would like to thank a special guest, Charlie~~ Lee." ”

In the elongated tone, Li Zitao walked onto the stage with the microphone, and the noisy applause sounded again, accompanied by a sharp whistle.

"Thank you, thank you very much Douglas for the introduction, even though he forgot to mention my greatest strength, I still thank him. Li Zitao humorously took over the topic, and made a disgusted expression after speaking.

The sparse applause rang out, and Li Zitao poked into the audience and said, "What? You want to know my merits?"

"Yes. Laughter and laughter came and went.

"En......" grinned in a deep voice, Li Zitao said, "It's a secret!"

"Hahaha......" The audience burst into laughter.

They suddenly know a little more about this wealthy Chinese, and people with a sense of humor are always favored.

"There are all great directors, producers, editors, actors and so on, and it's an honor to be with you tonight, it's a great moment. ”

Li Zitao paused, turned his head to look in the direction of Louis Meyer, and looked at the taste: "I also want to thank Louis, it is he who inspired my inner love for movies, and it is my pride to be able to contribute to the film industry, thank you, Louis." ”

Meyer's face turned pale, but he still had to hold up a smile, and around him, reporters raised their cameras and pressed the shutter button.

Who doesn't know the origin of the Oscars is because of Louis Mayer's insatiable greed, and the news has long been spread in Hollywood.

Now this scene is the best news material for every journalist, 'Rich Chinese businessmen challenge the king of Hollywood??'

The applause rang out, but it was not quiet at all, especially Douglas on the stage, as well as representatives of other companies, who were reluctant to put down their palms red.

But the others are not very enthusiastic, especially the director and actors, and there are almost no applause, which is enough to prove Louis's status in Hollywood.

"From silent to sound, we are at the forefront of the development of the film industry, a magical world full of fantasy that gives the world ......"

Paying tribute to the silent film era and the future prospects of the film industry, after a passionate speech, all the filmmakers were in awe and clapped their hands vigorously.

"Enough delays, Douglas, how long are you going to make the curtain next to you? Now, leave the time to our Mr. Robin Hood. ”

After finishing the performance, Li Zitao returned backstage and listened to Douglas's thanks on the stage: "Thank you Charlie for your wonderful speech, oh, I'm about to cry with emotion......"

Back in the audience, Douglas had already begun his first award, Best Makeup.

Before this, no one thought that makeup, costume design, set, photography, art, etc., these behind-the-scenes work could also have independent awards, and this alone made Li Zitao gain the favor of countless behind-the-scenes workers.

Behind the scenes, they are always overlooked, and even they themselves are not hopeful, and the Academy Awards give them a time of glory that belongs to them alone.

"The winner of the best makeup award this time is ......" Douglas opened the golden envelope in his hand on the stage, but Li Zitao's attention was not on it.

For him, it doesn't matter who wins the award, what matters is whether the award can be recognized.

After each selection, the Chamber of Commerce will send people to major theaters to conduct opinion surveys to determine the impression of the selection results in the minds of the audience.

In the previous life, the Oscars were quite lofty, but they were too detached from the masses, and later gradually turned to commercialization, although this transformation is very slow, but it is indeed changing.

Li Zitao didn't want to wait for its model to be fixed and then change it, and from the very beginning, the Oscars had to follow the double standard of high-end and close to life.

But these are not the reasons for his distraction, looking at the calm side face beside him, Li Zitao felt what it means to be heartwarming for the first time since he was reborn.

Greta could feel the hot gaze, which made her a little restless, she was always alone in the past, and she was not used to this kind of closeness and heat.

Since the first "Riptide", Greta Garbo has had countless suitors.

And "Flesh and the Devil", which was completed two years ago, made her a high-profile actress in Hollywood, bringing her glory and aura, but also bringing a lot of trouble.

For example, those hot eyes from men, letters of pursuit, some strange messages, and compliments from everyone all made her at a loss.

People seem to be paying attention to her appearance, and some people describe her as "a face that can only be seen once in a thousand years", "Mona Lisa on the screen", and "a ghostly creation".

But that wasn't enough to make her happy, it made her resist socializing, and she began to miss Stiller again.

The man who single-handedly forged her and left alone was very special and irreplaceable to her, and at the same time allowed her to live a rich life.

At the age of 13, Greta dropped out of school to take care of her father at home, and after his father's death, she was left alone to find a way to make ends meet.

At the age of 14, Greta became a model because of her beautiful looks, but in this circle, there has never been a decrease in deceit, open guns and hidden arrows.

Only 14 years old, Greta doesn't understand the world of adults at all, and she has a thrilling face, so wherever she goes, she is the one who is excluded.

This kind of life experience has forged her withdrawn character.

By chance, Stiller spotted her in the crowd, and at that time everyone was praising her beauty, only he said: "You have a nice figure, broad shoulders, narrow hips, and nice legs." You have an extremely unusual face, beautiful eyes, long eyelashes, and a nice voice. But it's too fat, it's ugly to walk in, and it doesn't smile. ”

Greta was both surprised and curious, this was the first time she had heard such a 'harsh' evaluation, wasn't she beautiful?

With this in mind, she began to accept Stiller's makeover, and it was he who took Greta into a high-end restaurant and taught her dining etiquette.

It was he who straightened Greta for her teeth, bought the most expensive dress, and dressed her up as an angel.

It was he who often took Greta for walks and taught her the rules of the film industry and the people of Hollywood.

It was also he who withstood the pressure of MGM to win the opportunity for Greta to star in "Riptide" and put her on the road to fame.

But at the time of her first rise to fame, Stiller, who was not doing well in Hollywood, chose to leave and return to his country, Sweden.

Before leaving, Stiller invited her to go with her, and Greta refused him for the first time.

Only Greta knew that it was not that she did not want to go with him, but that she was afraid of starting over, of losing her current life, because she was already poor.

Shortly after Stiller's departure, Greta was invited to work on Flesh and the Devil, in which she and the passionate John Gilbert truly fell in love.

At that time, John was like the man next to him, his eyes were hot, with strong aggression and domineering, which made her indifferent melt.

Unfortunately, they eventually parted ways because Greta resisted marriage.

She wasn't ready, and John's repeated pursuit drove the two apart.

No one knows what she thinks in her heart, why she is reluctant to accept a marriage proposal from a beloved, only Greta knows the reason best.

Because in her heart, there is another man who cannot be forgotten, Stiller.

So when she noticed that Li Zitao was getting closer and closer, and wanted to talk to her, Greta turned her head to the right and talked casually with the unfamiliar Paramount production manager.

"BOSS, SHE'S AVOIDING YOU. Ai Mo, who was sitting behind him, leaned over and said, his snickering tone made Li Zitao itch with hatred.

"I'm well aware that I don't need you to remind me. Li Zitao said with some annoyance, is this considered a disadvantage for teachers?

It's just that none of them noticed that there was another person at the scene who was paying attention to Greta and that was Louis Meyer, who was pale.

He was just paying attention to Li Zitao, planning how to get him out of Hollywood.

But when Greta whispered to Paramount's production manager, his attention turned to it, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Greta is MGM's most popular actress, but now?

She was talking to Paramount in a whisper, and it seemed that the two of them were still communicating happily.

"Is she going to betray?" Louis gritted his teeth, anger rising in his heart.

This damn woman, not only ignoring his hints, but also because of the director's care, always asks for a higher salary, like a greedy sow.

For the sake of the box office, he repeatedly suppressed the anger in his heart, but look at what she did, she was actually talking to the enemy, "Damn traitor, you all deserve to hell." ”

Louis looked above the stage, Douglas's handsome face with a flying smile that made him bite his gums out of blood.

Perhaps from a woman's sixth sense, Greta sensed another gaze watching her, and when she looked up a short distance away, she met Louis's angry gaze.

"Oops. Greta instantly figured out why he was angry.

Just now, she was only thinking about how to avoid Li Zitao's entanglement, but she forgot that the person in front of her was Paramount's person, and the relationship between MGM and Paramount was not very pleasant.

No wonder when we talked just now, the other party's eyes always flashed with excitement, Greta thought it was her charm, but now she has finally turned the corner.

However, after the initial panic, Greta regained her composure, and she was confident that as long as she didn't explicitly indicate that she was leaving, Louis should not embarrass herself.

You must know that she is now one of the most box office actresses in Hollywood, and no one will fight against money, right?

"The winner for Best Picture is, 7th Heaven, congratulations to Frank Bausaki. Douglas announced the final heavyweight award on stage.

The applause was thunderous, everyone stood up and applauded, and the first Academy Awards came to an end with cheers.
