894 Opening Surprise

Thunderous applause. Billy Crystal is worthy of being a comedian who has helmed the Oscar host microphone nine times, and Hollywood's support and support have been accumulated over the years and polished by countless experiences, which is not trivial.

In anticipation, in full view of everyone, Billy left the stage, came to the guest seat, and finally stood beside Ryan and Lan Li, and the whistles and heckling on the scene became more and more turbulent. Not only because of Billy's unexpected behavior after the opening, but also because Ryan and Lan Li appeared at the same time-

In 2011, the two most popular and most talked-about representatives of the new generation of actors, many people call them the twin stars who complement "George Clooney and Brad Pitt", and deservedly deserved to be the focus of the most attention tonight. Now, just for the opening, Billy has fixed the camera lens on the two people.

Quietly waiting for the cheers and shouts to calm down, Billy said with a smile on his face, "I just think the audience in front of the TV should want to see the faces of these two handsome guys." A joke made the audience laugh again, and Lan Li and Ryan exchanged glances, and they couldn't help laughing.

"I'm sorry, Lan Li, I tried to cut you in the clip, but I've already kissed George, and I can't step on two more boats, so please forgive me. Billy said seriously, explaining why "Love Crazy" didn't appear in the opening video, and at the same time focusing his attention on Lan Li in a *** way.

In fact, the real reason is that in the past month, things have happened one after another, and Lan Li has no time to participate in the behind-the-scenes filming of the video.

In the face of Billy's ridicule, Lan Li raised his voice and replied.

It's a pity that Lan Li didn't wear a microphone, and the organizer didn't hand over the microphone to Lan Li in time in order to create a surprise at the opening, hoping that Lan Li and Ryan would show a real unexpected reaction, so no one else could hear it at all. However, the guests in the circle around Lan Li heard it, and in an instant, everyone clapped their hands and laughed, even Meryl Streep rolled back and forth with laughter, turned around, and gave Lan Li a thumbs up.

Billy opened his mouth slightly, obviously not expecting Lan Li's counterattack - everyone knows that Lan Li's eloquence is outstanding, but this is the Oscar, not the Golden Globe Awards, the level and specifications are different, who knows, Lan Li's counterattack is so sharp and humorous, it is really eye-catching.

However, the battle-hardened Billy didn't panic at all, looking left and right, "Whew, maybe we should invite Robert Pattinson." Audiences between the ages of 18 and 24 may prefer it. The easy ridicule detonated the emotions of a group of people around Lan Li, and they burst into laughter.

Of course, everyone else in the room laughed - Robert Pattinson's meme is actually the same as Justin Bieber, and the stars of "Twilight" are really not welcomed by the academy, and even though Robert is very popular, he is still not invited to attend tonight. However, without Lan Li's response just now, it seems that a piece of the puzzle is missing, which is wrong!

However, Billy had no intention of answering, and took a step back on the stage to continue his hosting.

The guests were almost tormented to death by curiosity, and they all asked one after another: What did Lan Li say just now?

"Thank you, thank you very much. Billy stood on the stage again, looked at the guests who were in turmoil under the stage, and said with a smile, "The applause just now was really 'very loud, very close'. ”

The name of the Oscar nominee for Best Picture is a joke, which is figurative and apt, and it also makes up for the regret that the short film is not edited, "Of course, my relatives and friends are watching tonight's ceremony in front of the TV at home, 'very loud, very close', this is also their way of watching." ”

The same sentence is interpreted meaninglessly because of different occasions and different objects. The guests at the scene laughed one after another.

"This is my ninth time hosting the Oscars. Billy looked at the scene with a smile, waiting for the applause.

But at this moment, many people are deserting, asking the same question: What did Lan Li respond to just now? So, the applause at the scene was a little sparse, so unexpected, but it was also unexpected by the TV station and the organizers.

But Billy didn't panic, and showed a puzzled expression, "Nine times." Again, then shook his head, "This wasn't the reaction I was expecting. Do I have to wait until the tenth time? God, I think that might be a bit difficult. This time, the laughter at the scene was like the sound of falling water, one after another.

"We're in the 'U.S.C. Eleven Theater'. Billy calmly continued, but the first words sparked a collective burst of applause, whistles, and laughter.

Title XI of the United States Code, Bankruptcy. Kodak was filing for bankruptcy and automatically lost the naming rights to the theater. In other words, after its inauguration in 2001, the theater that has used the "Kodak Theater" as the venue for the Oscars for the past ten years is now about to become history.

Just three days before the ceremony, the court approved Kodak's bankruptcy filing. CIM Group, the owner of the Kodak Theatre, requested the Oscar organizers to stop mentioning the "Kodak Theatre" in the promotion and live broadcast of the awards ceremony, but instead renamed it "Hollywood Highland Center", which was called the Hollywood Highland Center, where the Kodak Theater is located, before it had the full new crown name rights.

The College agreed to the request.

But obviously, in just three days, it is not an easy task to change the habits of the past ten years. So, this led to Billy's ridicule, and at the same time, there was an enthusiastic response from the audience.

"We're here to celebrate this Hollywood tradition, creating memories that breed a lifetime of hatred. "We're part of such a great industry, and cinema always allows us to escape stress, provide entertainment, and no matter what happens, the cinema is always there to laugh, cry, question, reflect and text." ”

Billy's words continued, but after a slight pause, "Texting?" the crowd reacted, and laughter rang out again.

"So, tonight we're all together and having fun. Billy shrugged his shoulders and said playfully, "Because there's no better cure for the world's economic pains than to watch a group of millionaires award each other a little gold man with no clothes on." ”

Laughter and applause. Then Billy once again entered his classic time: a Broadway opera that strings together all the Best Picture nominees, singing loudly, interspersed with laughs, a little acting, a little bit of ridicule, a little bit of humor, and, of course, a little bit of fun.

The reason why Billy Crystal is popular with the Oscars is not because he is the funniest, but because he is the most appropriate.

The sarcasm and ridicule are there, the ridicule and banter are throughout, the lightness and cheerfulness are lively, he is not too aggressive, making personal attacks or seizing on social hot spots, he is not too clumsy, and the humor and baggage are not properly controlled. At the same time, the elegance and maturity of an actor in his golden age are in line with the consistent image of the Oscars.

Almost every one of the nine nominated works has only 20 to 30 seconds to show, but Billy's smooth and elegant performance really brought the Kodak Theater - Hollywood Highland Center into the atmosphere of a Broadway theater, and after all nine nominations were connected, Billy covered his chest with his hands, shook his head and said, "Sorry, Ryan and Lan Li, you need to continue to work hard next year." ”

A casual joke created the biggest laugh and highlight in the entire singing series, and the guests all applauded.

Finally, Billy stood in the center of the stage, "Nine, this is Nine." Tonight's performance is going to be fantastic, and if you're wondering what Lan Li just said, stick around until the last minute of the ceremony, don't change the stage because of the commercial, and don't doze off because of the four-hour show. Well, stay tuned. ”

Pause, silence, then burst into laughter.

Jessica bumped Lan Li with her left elbow and shook her head with a smile, "God, everyone is asking, even Alexander Payne. ”

In the course of Billy's performance, a small area with Lan Li as the center of the circle became the focus of attention of everyone in the audience, and the curious inquiries were endless, and people were always exchanging words and phrases they had heard between each other, not the noisy stormy waves, but the calm little ripples, spreading little by little.

Lan Li spread her hands and looked helpless, "I have a bad feeling that Billy Crystal should continue to trouble me. Not to mention Alexander Payne, even Martin Scorsese, who was sitting behind Lan Li, patted him on the shoulder and asked seriously, "What the hell did you just say? ”

Looking back, Lan Li saw Ryan's expression of incomparably happy smiles, obviously, watching the show was a lot of fun.

Lan Li rolled her eyes helplessly, "So, do you want to?"

Ryan waved his hand again and again, hurriedly denied it, and the smile didn't hold back after all, and he laughed out loud after a puff.

"Are you sure, isn't it because you don't want to shave your head?"

Billy teased Lan Li with "love is crazy", this is a love movie, if you shoot a spoof short film, then Billy is bound to fall in love with Lan Li, but in the real short film, Billy and George kiss with real guns, so Billy said "I can't step on two boats".

Lan Li ridiculed Billy with "I am fighting cancer": the shaved head scene in the movie has sparked countless discussions, and Billy's hair volume is indeed worrying.

In just one confrontation, not only Lan Li's wit was revealed, but also Lan Li's humor, which was indeed an eye-opener for Billy.

In the midst of the conversation, Billy invited the first guest of honor, Tom Hanks, to present the first trophy of the evening: Best Cinematography.

The award ceremony begins.
