In the stretched Lincoln, Will Smith, dressed in a black suit, was looking out the window, and next to him sat Terry Smith, Jada Pinker Smith, and his youngest son, Jaden. Today should be a happy day, as a candidate for Best Actor and his family to participate in the Oscars, what a great thing! It's just that he always has some regrets and regrets in his heart, and so does his family.

Because the amazing director with a big smile was absent, and the reason was precisely because he was locked up in the Lake Island prison in New York for four days.

"Dad, is there a TV in the prison?" Terry Smith, who was dressed up and handsome, suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Will, and asked with interest, "Can Jan see the Oscars tonight?"

Will Smith and Jada looked at each other and smiled, although they both knew that there was a TV in the prison, but Wang Yang would definitely not see Oscar tonight, but Will patted his son on the shoulder and smiled, "Man, he will see." He is really grateful to the young director, the performance of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" brought him not only this Oscar nomination, not only the acting career that came back from the dead and became a film contract again, but also his self-confidence and his dignity were saved, and those days of self-doubt were not easy.

And his relationship with Terry is also much closer, and he has only then clarified some of his son's thoughts and ideas to become a better father. Will smiled and shook his head, Jan is a good guy, he shouldn't go to jail, does he?

Thinking about this, the driver, assistant and others in front of them all reminded that "it's almost here", and the Smith family immediately cleaned up their mood and happily prepared for the next red carpet catwalk. When the extended Lincoln stopped, the doors opened, and the Smiths were greeted by blinding flashes, the sound of clicks, the shouts of reporters not far away, and the flashes of cameras in their hands filled the entire Walk of Fame.

This year's 73rd edition of the Oscars will still be held at the Sylangoris Theatre, which will also be the last, and the new Kodak Theatre will open next year. For this reason, this year's organizers have done a very hard job, and the guests are also quite face-saving, more than 2,800 celebrities and celebrities invited will attend, and the absentee rate has hit the lowest level in the history, so the walk of stars catwalk was unveiled 30 minutes earlier than last year, and the number of people participating in the red carpet catwalk will also be the highest in the history, and this year's Oscars are extremely grand.

Among the absentees, the person who has attracted the most media attention is naturally the magical baby director Wang Yang, but this is no big deal, the Oscars will never lack focus, no lack of people and news that are concerned, it can be said that anyone is just a quicksand in front of 2800 superstars and stars.

The red carpet outside the Sylangor Theatre was full of bright stars in suits, media reporters and staff with cameras and video cameras, and the stars laughed and showed their beautiful side.

Natalie was wearing a black off-the-shoulder dress with a faint smile on her face, but her heart was full of hollowness. Originally, she thought it was a day worth remembering, and every time she thought about it in the future, she would feel very happy, even if it was watching that guy and his girlfriend dangling sweetly and affectionately in front of him, hugging and kissing...... But now, neither of them could see it, and it all seemed so noisy in front of her.

She really wants to go back to New York now to prepare for tomorrow's prison visit, and she won't be able to win the Best Actress tonight anyway. But whether it is for the sake of personal image of the fans, the Oscar jury, or for the fame of "Juno" and the flame movie, she needs to stay here until the end of the awards ceremony and Oscar night, which is really annoying!

"Hello, Natalie, we've found you. The on-site reporter from the broadcaster's ABC TV station walked in with a smile, she was a middle-aged white woman with a microphone in hand, and behind her was a cameraman with a camera, and this was not just a tidbit before the national broadcast in the United States in the evening, and the audience in more than 100 countries around the world will see it, and this image will be passed on forever.

Natalie looked at her and smiled, "Hi!" The blonde reporter pointed the microphone at her and asked with a smile, "How are you feeling now?" Natalie pulled the hair hanging from her ear and smiled calmly and elegantly: "It's not my first time participating in the Oscars, but this time is definitely the most exciting." But on the other hand, you know that my friend Wang Yang, the director of "Juno," can't be here, it's really bad, and I think he should be here. ”

In Manhattan, New York, in the serviced apartment, with a bang, Jessica sitting on the sofa turned on the LCD TV, she took the remote control and tuned to the ABC channel, her pretty face without any makeup looked very haggard, with two faint dark circles under her eyes, and her eyes were very lonely.

The TV screen was showing the Oscars, and after a video introduction at the beginning of the space, the model of the host Steve Martin fell into the earth, and the scene shifted to the auditorium of the Sylangor Theatre. The vast auditorium was packed, and to thunderous applause, Steve Martin, dressed in a black suit, walked to the center of the stage and said, "Thank you, thank you!" Behind him, a huge statue of the Oscar stood in the middle of the crowd.

"We live in a wonderful country, and if we were in Afghanistan, this statue would have been blown up long ago. Steve Martin said solemnly, pointing to the statue behind him, and the scene burst into laughter. Jessica's face was expressionless and she couldn't laugh at all, and she asked softly, "What's interesting?"

Steve Martin clasped his hands and continued: "Back in January, they asked me if I wanted to be the host of the gala. I'm most concerned about whether I'll have enough time to recover after I pull my face?" and the crowd in the audience burst into laughter again, and Steve Martin made a gesture and said, "Thank you Astros! Anyway, that opening introductory clip cost the government 1 trillion yuan. Don't expect a tax cut, it's all because I want a great opening introduction. The audience laughed again.

"Astronauts are watching us in the sky 200 miles high, and now there are 800 million people around the world watching TV, and everyone has an idea that we are all gay. Steve Martin's tone continued to be serious, and the auditorium burst into laughter, and after a few words, he added: "Kate Hudson is 21 years old ("Almost Famous", nominated for Best Supporting Actress), and Natalie Portman is 19 years old. ”

At this time, the camera of the live broadcast switched to Kate Hudson and Natalie Portman, only to see Kate smiling with her mouth open, while Natalie maintained a light smile. Amid the applause from the audience, Steve Martin spread his hands and said, "I love young actors because they remind me that I am dying. ”

The scene on the screen rang out with unexpected laughter. Hearing the word "young", Jessica's heart tightened, he should be wearing a handsome suit and sitting there to accept the host's jokes, not prison clothes...... She leaned back on the sofa, staring at the TV screen intently, a heart had flown to Lake Island, and muttered, "Yang ......"

In the small cell of Lake Island Prison, Wang Yang was doing push-ups on the ground next to the bed, sweat dripping down his forehead, and silently recited: "121, 122......"

Robert Downey Jr., who was lying on the bottom bunk bed, glanced sideways, and he was no longer surprised that he had lost so completely by wrestling his wrist, the guy on the ground boxed every morning, and then spent the whole day hunching down at his desk and writing, doing push-ups and sit-ups when he was bored...... Like now, I made at least 300 of them, and I was as energetic as a cow.

"Hey, Jan. Downey was also a little bored, propped his head sideways, and asked accostingly: "I saw in the newspaper that your "Juno" was shortlisted for Best Original Screenplay, I was thinking what would happen if you won the award?"

Wang Yang lay on the ground and stopped, panting and thinking about it, and said, "I don't think it's possible, is the Oscar awarded to a young man?" The result has nothing to do with his current imprisonment, and the awards sometimes consider these off-the-field factors, but as early as mid-February, the 6,000 judges sent out their final ballots, unless they can predict the future.

However, the shortlisted film scripts include "Almost Famous" and "Uncompromising", although the media's predictions are balanced, he doesn't have too many ideas, because the style of the Oscar judges is notoriously conservative, but on the other hand, he knows that the Oscars in the past two years have begun to deliberately make innovations and changes, one of which is to face up to the excellent works of black and Chinese, such as this year's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" With 10 nominations in second place, Denzel Washington becomes the second black actor next year (the first being Sidney Poitier in 1964), and perhaps Will will take the lead this year.

So although there was little hope, yesterday he routinely prepared an acceptance speech on behalf of his spokesperson, Ms. Bedès Beale, on the phone, and he smiled and frowned, it shouldn't be needed, right?

"Maybe they will. Robert Downey Jr. pursed his lips, took out an unlit cigarette and took it in his mouth, sucking on the smoke, and said with feeling: "Man, times are different. ”

At the Shellland Theater in Los Angeles, the party was halfway through, and a number of technical and late-stage awards were awarded, such as Best Original Song ("Miracle Boy"), Best Art Direction/Prop Set ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"), and Best Original Score ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon").

In a thunderous applause, Angelina Jolie, the guest in charge of the award, walked out of the left side of the stage with a white envelope, she smiled and said: "It's an honor to present this award, the screenwriters have shaped the story and characters, and our acting skills have been displayed...... In the guest seats under the stage, the Will Smith family has become focused; Natalie, who is not far away, finally changed her expression, her face was calm without a smile, but she was very nervous in her heart.

The five nominees are, William Nicholson, "Gladiator", Suzanne Grant, "Never Compromise", and Wang Yang, "Juno". Hearing this name and the applause that rang out from the audience, Jessica on the sofa suddenly felt excited and came back to her senses, this is an award that Yang has a share of competing for! She sat up straight and looked at the TV screen, only to see Angelina Jolie in a white suit continue to read: "Lee Harr, "Dancing Life", Cameron Crowe, "almost famous". There was another round of applaudation that was noticeably larger.

Natalie clapped vigorously, her eyes were firmly fixed on Angelina on the stage, watching her open the white envelope, only to feel her heart beating faster and faster...... "Well, the winner is ......" Angelina glanced at the results in the letter, looked at the nearly 3,000 guests in the audience, and said with a smile: "He is a great guy, what I like most about him is that he loves and supports child protection work! He is a hero, he saved a cute little girl......

Everyone in the audience knew who it was, and applauded loudly and cheered; Natalie secretly waved her fist, her face was full of bright smiles, and her heart was full of joy: "It's Yang! It's that guy!" She suddenly realized that she was in her current psychology, she had never felt so happy for a person before, is this what she likes and cares about? Angelina on the stage announced and laughed: "Wang Yang, "Juno"!" With her words, the large screen behind her displayed Wang Yang's photo and name.

"Oh my God!" Jessica jumped up from the couch in ecstasy and blurted out, "Young, Young, you've won an award!" You got an Oscar! Oh my God, Young............ She sighed and sat down on the couch with a smile.

There was a round of applause at the Sylangoris Theatre, and almost everyone knew what was going on, the Wonder Boy was in prison in New York, unable to receive the award in person, and it was obviously impossible to get a phone connection, but fortunately there was a substitute. In the midst of applause, Ms. Bédes Beale, who accepted the award on behalf of Wang Yang, walked up to the stage, she smiled and took the golden little golden figure from Angelina's hand, held a piece of paper, and smiled into the microphone: "Thank you, everyone knows that he can't come in person, I will read his acceptance speech now." ”

Everyone in the audience suddenly fell silent, and the Will Smiths and Natalie ...... And in front of the TV, Jessica, Rachel, Joshua, Michael Pitt...... And all the 800 million viewers around the world who are watching the broadcast are ready to listen to his testimonials.

Bedees-Beale looked at the note and said, "I actually won the prize? Is this a kind of compensation?" The crowd let out a chuckle and continued, "Okay, then thank you Santa Claus, thank you to Lake Island for bringing me luck, thank you to the Oscar judges!" The crowd applauded and laughed.

"First of all, thank you for a sweet pronoun, my fans, thank you for your support, a great synonym, family, Dad, Mom, grandparents...... You'll always be so good, I love you!" In the midst of applause, Bedece Beale said at a faster pace: "Thank you so much to my friends, my colleagues, you guys are so cute! Special thanks to Natalie Portman, who provided a lot of inspiration and creativity for this script, and her understanding of Juno, which in turn influenced the script, she is a monster." ”

The crowd laughed and applauded, and the camera of the broadcast was also focused on Natalie, who was seen smiling happily and clapping her palms.

"I know it's going to be a scandal, so I'm going to clarify now that there's no such thing. The last thing I want to thank is an angel, my girlfriend Jessica, I don't think I need to say anything, sweetheart, I love you!" Bettece said this, and the shouts and applause in the auditorium boiled again, Natalie's smile turned into a smile, she clapped softly, and muttered in her heart, "Why not me?" Is it because she knew you before me?"

"Thanks to that, but I want to say to them, I'm sorry to worry you! Finally, ......" Bette-Bill held the little golden man, looked at the end of the note, and said, "I have to quote one more sentence, you can kill me, but you can't defeat me." the-end, thank you. ”

Jessica wiped the tears welling up from the corners of her eyes with a tissue, smiled sweetly, and said in a choked voice, "I love you too." Looking at Bedees walking down the stage on the screen, she suddenly felt an uncontrollable longing in her heart, wanting to hear that voice and see that face. She couldn't help but pick up the mobile phone on the coffee table in front of her and dialed the number, but nothing miracle happened, only a cold system voice over and over again: "I'm sorry, the user you dialed has been turned off......"

She sighed with a frown, why wasn't it the voice, "Hey, sweetheart!" she stood up and walked to the balcony, looking out at the dark night sky outside, and the city that never sleeps below, and Lake Island was not far to the north...... Leaning on the balcony railing, she picked up her phone and sent a text message: "I love you." After a while, she sent another message with a smile: "I miss you very much." She knew it didn't make sense, but she sent again, "Will you get back to me?", "What are you doing?", ...... "Amazing Young, who do you think will be the best actor this year?" Wang Yang, who was on the top bunk, looked at the ceiling close at hand, and replied lightly: "It's not Robert Downey Jr. anyway." ”

"Well, yes...... yes!" Donnie rolled over and buried his head in the pillow with bated breath, only darkness in front of him.
