Every Academy Awards is a long ordeal, too slow for onlookers, and a wait for those who rush for the awards, but there are still more than 30 million viewers and countless film practitioners every year, willing to endure the pain.

More importantly, at the Oscars, female stars who can't control their and pee are definitely not good actors.

Those gorgeous long dresses, as well as close-fitting short dresses, are put on and taken off by one person, which is guaranteed to make actresses doubt their lives.

From two or three o'clock in the afternoon to the end of the awards ceremony, no eating, drinking, no urinating, that is the most basic requirement for female stars to participate in the Oscars.

The vast majority of people who can't bear it usually leave and rarely come back.

The red carpet show is a paradise for female stars, this heaven is only one step away from hell, it is the norm to prepare a week in advance, and there are many people who pay attention to intestinal problems from half a month in advance.

Ronan participated in the three-and-a-half-hour show for the first time, and he was really inexperienced, and he went out twice in between, but fortunately he was a man, and his clothes were very simple, so there were not so many troubles.

However, every time he returned, Ronan would find that his seat was occupied.

Seeing Ronan, the quiet girl occupying the seat quickly gave way to leave, Ronan nodded lightly to her and returned to her seat.

Of course, this person did not come to dig into the corner of Angela Lindwo while he was no longer there, but a temporary audience specially prepared by the organizers of the award ceremony.

Because there are often presenters who need to leave their seats, and there are people who go to the toilet or go to the corridor bar during the advertising time and do not return on time, it will be unsightly for the camera to sweep to the audience, so the "temporary workers" have to fill the empty seats at any time.

Of course, they can't talk to the stars around them.

This kind of award ceremony, the organizer always claims that it is difficult to get a ticket, and the appearance of empty seats is not good visually.

The Oscars have been held for more than 70 years, and many details have been considered quite comprehensively.

"You should be prepared in advance next time. Angela Lindwo whispered, "Next time I come to the awards ceremony, I'll make a schedule for you in advance." ”

Ronan smiled and replied casually, "I'll talk about it when I have the next chance." ”

Angela Lindwow said with a little dissatisfaction: "You, you don't take such an important award ceremony seriously. ”

"Is there one?" Ronan was innocent: "I'm the happiest one to win Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." ”

Angela Lindwow said: "There are three Oscar statuettes, how long will it take to get Best Foreign Language Film?"

Ronan glanced at the stage: "This is about to begin." ”

In a series of previous technical awards, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has won three statuettes: Best Cinematography, Best Soundtrack and Best Art Direction.

This was a bonus.

But it also made Ronan a little worried, could this be a consolation prize?

Oscar has done this more than once.

Eleven nominations, and a few technical awards as consolation, are not bad, and they are definitely not in the ranks of misery, but "The Shawshank Redemption" of the year was ten mentions and zero.

Juliette Binoche and Anthony Hopkins took to the stage.

"The five films nominated for Best Foreign Language Film are diverse in subject matter. Juliette Binoche said.

Anthony Hopkins answered: "And very famous in the world. ”

He and Juliette Binoche flashed to the side at the same time, giving up the big screen behind him: "There are ...... nominated for Best Foreign Language Film"

The big screen took over the presentation and began to show the titles and images of the five nominated films: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" from the East by Ang Lee, "Parting Ways" from the Czech Republic by Jan Hoblake, "Love is a" by Alejandro Iñárritu from Mexico, "A Taste of Others" by France, and "Everybody Famous" from Belgium.

Ronan looked around, Xu Ligong was the most nervous, one hand tightly pinching his thigh, and Li An always had a proper smile on his face, but one leg was moving around.

Truth be told, this kind of moment of not being nervous must be fake.

Because a heavyweight Oscar statuette means too much.

Ronan coughed unconsciously and was a little nervous, after all, he had invested so much time, energy and resources, and naturally wanted to get the best result.

The Best Foreign Language Film Golden Man not only means a lot of money for him, but also increases his confidence to continue to participate in this game called Oscar in the future.

Angela Lindwo grabbed Ronan's hand and whispered, "Don't be nervous, I'm with you." ”

Rhona couldn't help but laugh, is it so obvious?

Juliette Binoche was quick with her hands and feet, quickly opened the envelope, and regardless of the curious eyes of Anthony Hopkins next to her, she directly pulled out the card and read: "The award is, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!"

“Year！”

Ronan clearly heard Xu Ligong's excited voice.

The applause rang out, and Angela Lindwo opened her hand to hug Ronan, only to find that Ronan had already stood up and turned around to celebrate with Ang Lee.

Angela Lindwo frowned slightly, sensing that the camera lens had turned, and the perennial training had already formed a conditioned reflex, and immediately piled up a proper smile and applauded in celebration.

Ronan first hugged Ang Lee, and then high-fived Xu Ligong.

No matter how much business thought the two sides have put into it before, at least at this moment, their positions are the same, and they are both excited about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" winning the award.

Ang Lee walked up to the stage to the sound of music, took the Oscar from Anthony Hopkins, stood in front of the microphone, and ...... He pulled out a small note.

Probably too excited, too excited, Ang Lee flipped through it twice and didn't open the folded note.

"Thank you to the college. Ang Lee's acceptance speech was very standard, and he read it according to the note: "Thank you to the academy for the recognition of Chinese films, and I am also grateful to my companion Xu Ligong, as well as the strong and talented actors and all the staff who contributed to this film." ”

He glanced at the note again: "I would also like to thank Mr. Ronan Anderson of Embassy Pictures for bringing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to North America." ”

The live TV camera then shifted to Ronan, who smiled and nodded.

Ang Lee is still grateful: "Thank you to all the staff of Embassy Pictures for their efforts in the distribution of this film. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, son, my mother and other family members, and all the Chinese people in the three regions!"

The audience applauded.

This is the heaviest award won by a Chinese film at the Oscars.

Although there was no standing ovation from the audience, the applause was warm enough.

And for Ang Lee, the peak of his career is far from coming.

In this day and age, it is not too common for the audience to stand up and salute.

In the early years, at the award ceremony, it was necessary for a respected person to come to the stage to receive this treatment, and it can be said that Chaplin stepped out of the rising screen and gave a standing ovation from behind the rising screen, which can be said to be quite a touching scene.

This is also a rare outpouring of true feelings for the Oscars to set off the atmosphere.

Later, Oscar degenerated to the point of relying on actresses to wrestle on skirts to create a true outpouring of feelings, and continued as a joke the following year.

After Ang Lee left the venue, a temporary audience came over to fill his seat, and the award ceremony had reached the end, and it was estimated that Ang Lee would not have time to return to the auditorium.

After the winners go backstage, they have to give a routine interview, and the little golden man has to engrave the award he has won.

Before the awards, all the statuettes are the same, and the tradition of the Oscars is to engrave the names after the statuettes are awarded.

There is also a base, which will also be given after the award.

The awards continued, and Ronan's excitement and excitement gradually subsided, and his head began to think about how to maximize the benefits of this best foreign language film.

The last few awards were handed out one by one, Russell Crowe defeated a group of competitors, including Tom Hanks, to take the crown for Best Actor, "Gladiator" is indeed a masterpiece.

Ridley Scott has saved up five or six years of character and spent it all on this film.

According to Ronan's memory, Ridley Scott is about to embark on a new round of character-building journey.

Best Actress was the same as Ronan remembers, and was won by Julia Roberts.

The film "Never Compromise" not only allowed Julia Roberts to win the coveted Oscar, but also allowed Hollywood to have female club members of 20 million for the first time.

To be precise, Julia Roberts is not the Best Actress winner with this film, but all the films she has carried over the past decade.

This is the best actress who relies on accumulation.

The next two awards will undoubtedly reveal the side of this Oscar's cake.

Steven Soderbergh won Best Director for "Drug Network" and "Gladiator" won Best Picture Statuette.

After last year's "American Beauty," Spielberg's DreamWorks Pictures achieved a rare double win at the Oscar for Best Picture.

For a time, DreamWorks was unlimited.

It's a pity that only Spielberg understands the discomfort of DreamWorks.

If everything goes according to Ronan's memory, DreamWorks' A Beautiful Mind will be the next winner of Best Picture.

DreamWorks will achieve three consecutive Oscars for Best Picture!

But the three Oscars for Best Picture can't save DreamWorks from decay.

The Oscar effect is strong, but not to the point where it can save a major film company.

This is the end of the awards ceremony, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won four Oscars, and it can be said that it is the winner of tonight.

The crew members made a beeline for the Hilton Beverly Hills for the "Oscar Night" party hosted by Vanity Fair.

Ronan didn't go and returned to the Four Seasons Hotel with Angela Lindwo, who couldn't stay in Los Angeles for a few days, and the two had limited time to waste.

The Oscar strategy has been achieved, how can going to a party to eat and drink is compared to being alone with a beauty?

Ronan rode a horse and flashed his sword, crossed the mountain peaks, crossed the snowfield, and pierced the forest sea, vowing to shake the abyss with the sword, and the bandits' nest will turn the earth upside down!

Angela Lindwo fought with all her might, vowing to bury a mountain carving in a mountain stream......
