1673 Makes a high-profile debut
The unexpected wave of the red carpet soon spread to the banquet hall, and whether you cared about it or not, whether you liked it or not, all the attention inevitably gathered.
When Lan Li appeared in the banquet hall, the eyes of the actors, directors, producers and others all fell on him, truly interpreting the meaning of "the only focus of the audience", as if he could see a spotlight following him like a shadow.
What's even more ridiculous is that because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is not 100% sure of Lan Li's attendance, it has prepared three sets of alternatives for Lan Li's seating arrangement, but it has created chaos - many superstars have sent invitations, hoping that Lan Li can "plug" by their side, and the hot and sought-after situation is eye-opening.
This glory is not even envied by others.
In the end, Tom Hanks defeated Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep and the Coen brothers, joining forces with Sandra Bullock to leave Lan Li on the round table diagonally in front of the left side of the stage. Tom even stood up as if he were a treasurer, raised his hands in the air, and shouted, "I won Meryl!"
This is the joke that made fun of Jennifer Lawrence's acceptance speech when she reached the Oscars last year, and it was repeated in a different way tonight, and all the guests laughed collectively. The side also confirms once again that the prospect of Lanli's award may be confusing, but Lanli's industry connections are still warm.
Such a lively scene also became the object of host Tina Fey's opening ridicule, "Phew, I heard that someone stole my lightning before the official opening?"
Amid the laughter of the audience, Tina's hosting partner Amy Poehler continued, "I refuse to say his name lest tomorrow's front page headlines be all about his face." Phew, I've had enough! Now it's my turn. ”
"Yes, our chance. Tina added.
Amy was stunned, "I was just talking about our chances." ”
"No, no, no, you're talking about my chance, but I'm emphasizing that it's our chance. Tina said seriously, and then you could see that Amy made a "chewing gum" action, revealing her strong dissatisfaction, and finally crossed her waist with one hand, "Very good, now we don't even need other people to deal with it, we have internal differences, how can today's hosting continue?"
Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, these are both famous talents in American comedy, both of them are from the East Coast comedy heritage system, Tina came out of Chicago, and Amy is from Boston, and both found their stage on the stage of "Saturday Night Live" and shined.
The two talented women both have excellent practical and funny skills, and they also have the ability to write their own jokes, which can be described as literary and martial.
At the beginning of "Saturday Night Live", the two of them were the pillars, Tina created her own TV series "I'm a Comedy Maniac", which won the Emmy Award, while Amy was more good at being funny, starring in the series "Park and Rest" also received Changhong, and the series also gave birth to Chris Pratt, Louis C-K, Paul Rudd, Justin-Theroux (Justin-Theroux) and other A-list actors.
In the face of the downturn in the overall TV market in recent years, and the ratings of the major awards ceremonies have not improved, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has taken the lead and invited two female presenters to appear together, hoping to change the current bad situation.
For Tina and Amy, it's definitely stressful.
But judging from the singing and harmony in the opening scene, their performance is obviously the link that needs to be feared the most. The "Saturday Night Live" has been polished for many years, so they are truly experienced in a hundred battles, and today's sudden accident can only be said to be sprinkled with water.
At this time, the two hosts stood on the stage and teased each other, so lively, and the focus of the opening evolved into the opening laughter between gestures, and the on-site director aimed the camera at the blue ceremony under the camera for the first time, and then, the picture of the blue ceremony appeared on the big screen of the stage.
Tonight's screen is a super-large projection, and at this time, Lan Li's upper body is projected, and it looks like a giant overlooking the villain above Tina and Amy's heads, and suddenly a kind of absurd joy of "being dominated by God" is derived, and the audience and guests collectively clapped and laughed.
The two hosts were stunned for a moment, and then they both made frightened expressions, and Amy was the first to speak, "Well, this is not a plan we agreed in advance. Her eyes rolled from side to side, "Wait, wait......" The tone of her voice revealed her hesitation and panic.
"Who's that? can anyone tell me, who is that?" said Tina, pushing her glasses and asking a serious question, "I...... I don't know him, I've never met him. ”
The duo of Tina and Amy had a tacit understanding in "Saturday Night Live", the two of them were in harmony with each other, Tina was in charge of seriousness, Amy was in charge of troublemaking, Tina was in charge of the main story, and Amy was in charge of adaptation.
Now, they're playing on the spot. Because...... Lan Li put on a mask.
It's not a regular mask, but a simple mask made of white A4 paper, which looks like the phantom in "The Phantom of the Opera", but the mask is not so exquisite.
The unexpected situation made Tina and Amy a little panicked, but then Tina calmed down first, she noticed the subtle changes in Lan Li's expression and movements, and Tom and Sandra sitting next to her were creating "effects", and with a quick turn of her brain, Tina immediately realized, "He is the 'mystery man' (You-Kno-ho)." ”
Voldemort in the "Harry Potter" series, everyone calls him a "mystery man", which seems to have become a taboo name, and just now Tina and Amy are reluctant to say Lan Li's name, and then they see Lan Li's "co-performance", and the white mask suddenly changed from "Phantom of the Opera" to "Harry Potter".
Such an ingenious combination is definitely a match made in heaven for the comedy sketch of "Saturday Night Live".
Tina instantly caught Lan Li's intentions, and Amy followed, "Oh God! He's the mystery man! I, uh, we, um, I don't think we're going to focus on him, you know, I...... Uh, I'm a little worried that tonight's awards ceremony might not go through the way. Something doesn't seem right. ”
Tina raised her right index finger and put it on her lips, only making a breathy sound, "Shhhh
All the guests in the banquet hall of the Hilton Hotel laughed wildly, because everything was sudden, random, unexpected, full of uncertainty, and the sense of humor mixed with anxiety was hilarious, even for the guests in person, and even more so for the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the television.
Mystery man?
Wait, who the hell is the mystery man, and why does he look ...... So familiar?
Viewers who had just missed the surprise on the red carpet quickly found the answer on Twitter and Facebook, and then it spread like a prairie fire, and the family audience who tuned in to the Golden Globes was like a starlight that swept across the North American continent.
Lan Li always seems to have a way to show a little humor in his own way, playful and playful, cunning and wise, no need for words or actions, just a paper mask, successfully changed the situation on the scene, and more importantly, the title of "Mystery Man" makes people naturally think of the situation and situation of this year's Lan Li in the awards season, and the subtle touch is more and more peculiar.
After a simple teasing, seeing that Amy really began to turn and run away, Tina grabbed Amy's arm and returned to the topic, "No, no, we still have a mission today, have you forgotten? The real protagonist tonight is not the mystery man, nor us, but the Golden Globe." ”
The ceremony was back on track.
According to the official statistics after the awards ceremony, the ratings of the 71st Golden Globe Awards soared by 50% compared to the previous year, and set a new high in viewership since the beginning of the 21st century.
Among them, the ratings in the opening stage increased by 130%!
Tina and Amy's charisma and humor have been praised by all industry professionals and audiences, and they bear the brunt of the credit, and the unexpected appearance of Lan Li has become another important factor, the first person in Hollywood to attend the Golden Globes again after three years, and the popularity and popularity are not insignificant, creating an unimaginable wave on social networking platforms.
Theo Kinma, the current president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, has finally accomplished the feat of reversing the growth of the 71st Golden Globe Awards in the face of a general slump in television ratings, joining the many miracles of 2013 and once again heralding the possibilities for the film industry.
After the awards ceremony, Tina and Amy immediately became hot, and there were even rumors that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had begun to consider a proposal to hire them as the host of the Oscars.
As for Lan Li, another hero who has skyrocketed in ratings and heated discussions, he has long been out of need for these praises and affirmations. seemed to appear at the awards ceremony in a high-profile manner, but he unexpectedly kept a low profile, and the seemingly low-key gesture participated in the feast of the Golden Globe Awards, and he still maintained a high profile in his own way.
People who like him still like him.
The people who hate him still hate him.
It's as simple as that.
