Chapter 1161: All stunned
Warren Beatty was one of the most well-known Hollywood actors of the second half of the 20th century, one of Hollywood's most successful filmmakers, and at the same time he was the most charismatic actor in Hollywood, and the most famous playboy who slept with more than 10,000 women, an absolute humanoid teddy.
Almost all Hollywood female stars have been covered by Warren Beatty, Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh have been his bed partners, France's Adjani even invited another actress to play threesome with him, and many singers have slept with him, such as Madonna, who abandoned her ex-boyfriend Sean Penn for Warren Beatty, and also did three abortions for him. None of this is a big deal. He has also slept with Princess Margaret of the United Kingdom, Princess Yugoslavia, Devi, wife of the President of Indonesia, and even Jacqueline Kennedy, the former first lady of the United States and wife of former President John F. Kennedy. The most excessive thing is that he even slept with Zhang Ran's master, Mary Hill.
However, Zhang Ran likes Warren Beatty, not only because Warren Beatty is talented, but more importantly, like Robert De Niro, in terms of generation, he is Zhang Ran's uncle. After graduating from Northwestern University, Warren Beatty played the piano in a small bar in New York. Later it was suggested that you should consult Stella Adler, who had taught Marlon Brando. So, Warren Beatty became Adler's student. When Mary Hill gave Zhang Ran a lesson, she would often say, don't be a playboy like Warren Beatty!
Today, Warren Beatty and Fay Donaway are old, their faces wrinkled like locust bark, but the stage lights are snowflakes and they still shine brightly.
Fay Donaway spoke first: "It's an honor to present tonight's last award, and the shortlisted films have touched and inspired us, given us hope and joy, and may even change our minds. ”
Warren Beatty said in a warm voice: "I think it can be said that the purpose of politics is actually the same as art, which is the pursuit of truth, just like the work we saw tonight, not only to entertain and move us, but also to let us see more and more diverse society, show respect for diverse ethnic groups, and freedom in the world." ”
The scene was like a firecracker lit with 100,000 sounds, and the applause crackled. The old man's remarks were obviously a criticism of *****, but it was not surprising that he said this, after all, the old man directed and acted in the early 80s in the film "Red Elements", which sympathized with the Russian October Revolution.
"Okay, let's take a look at the finalists! ...... are the finalists for Best Picture."
A huge screen hangs down with clips from the shortlisted films. At the same time, the outside of the picture sounds: "Arrival", "Moonlight Boy", "Lion", "La La Land", "Hacksaw Ridge" ......"
Zhang Ran sat on a chair and watched the clips of the nine shortlisted films pass by the big screen, his heart beating slightly faster. Zhang Ran is very confident in Best Picture, after all, "Angel of Justice's" biggest competitors "Moonlight Boy" and "La La Land" have both dropped the Best Editing and Screenplay awards, and have almost been out of the race for Best Picture. However, the award was about to be presented, and he was still a little nervous.
The audience, all the people who supported Angel of Justice in front of the computers and televisions were praying for the film to win the best picture. No one posted barrages on various video sites, and the guests in the studio were quiet, and everyone waited quietly for the final results.
At the end of the clips of the nine films, applause was like a dense raindrop falling on the entire screening room, splashing a little splash. All eyes were fixed on the envelope in Warren Beatty's hand, and the eyes of the audience in front of the computer and computer and television were also fixed on the red envelope in Warren Beatty's hand.
Warren Beatty slowly picked up the bright red envelope in his hand and took out a white piece of stationery. His gaze fell on the letter, and his eyes lit up with doubt. He picked up the envelope and rummaged through it, the look of doubt on his face even worse. Fay-Donaway patted him lightly on the arm, motioning for him to announce the results. Warren Beatty said, "The winner of Best Picture is ......"
Warren Beatty stopped saying this, he still didn't read the result. The audience thought he was hanging everyone's appetite, and they burst into a thin laugh. Warren Beatty reads again: "The winner of Best Picture is ......"
Warren Beatty stopped again. Fae Donaway next to him thought that Warren Beatty was still hanging everyone's appetite, and scolded with a smile: "You hate it very much!" Warren Beatty looked at the list of winners in his hand again, but still didn't dare to read it, and handed the envelope to Fay Donaway, wanting her to see what was going on. Don't want to Fei Donaway took the letter and read it directly: "La La Land!"
The audience at the scene was stunned when they heard this result, as if they had been struck by lightning. This result was so unexpected that everyone didn't expect "Angel of Justice" to lose.
"Angel of Justice" won the best editing and best adapted screenplay, while "La La Land" lost all the editing and screenplay awards, and it is really incredible that "Angel of Justice" lost in this situation.
The results were stunned not only by the guests and the audience, but also by the audience in front of the computers and televisions. Zhang Chunru's mother said angrily: "How can this be?" Zhang Chunru's father believed that it was Dongyingren's small actions that succeeded, and comforted: "Zhang Ran, they have done a good job, the North American box office of the movie has exceeded 60 million, and the global box office has exceeded 600 million. Hundreds of millions of viewers around the world watched the film. It's nothing if you don't win an Oscar for Best Picture!"
On the Chinese Internet, netizens were mad at this result, scolding Oscar for being blind, and shouting that there was a shady scene: "Shady! There is definitely a shady scene! Last time "Future Apocalypse" lost to "Escape from Tehran", and this time "Angel of Justice" lost to "La La Land", if there is no shady, my name is written backwards!"
"I went to his uncle's, and I didn't win any of the editing and script of La La Land, but I won the best picture, which is a joke. "La La Land" is not a great song and dance film at all, and "Angel of Justice" is the best movie of its kind, can this be lost?"
"Forget it, the Oscar is an American award after all, and it won't be given to Chinese movies easily. Now the Asian Film Academy Awards are in full swing, and when Chinese films really get up in the future, we won't give the Yankee Award!"
On the contrary, Dongying's right-wingers, who have been trying to prevent "Angel of Justice" from winning the award, raised their arms and shouted to celebrate the victory. On 2CH, supporters of the right-wing wing of Dongying were binge, frantically mocking and spitting on "Angel of Justice". Someone posted that a garbage movie like Angel of Justice, full of lies, was dreaming to win an Oscar. In just a dozen seconds, more than fifty supporters responded.
In the Dolby Theater, the members of the "La La Land" crew seemed to be hit on the head by gold ingots falling from the sky, smashing them into disbelief, wondering if they had heard it wrong. The loudspeaker sounded: "La La Land, 14 Oscar nominations, equaling the record for the most nominations in history, won six Oscars, including Best Art Direction ......"
The crew of "La La Land" finally reacted, screaming and hugging each other. Their faces looked a little hideous because of the extreme ecstasy, because of the extreme exertion. They cheered and shouted, like a pack of wolves that had captured a yak.
Zhang Ran only felt that the ice cubes in the ice vault smashed heavily on his heart, turning into a cold air that filled the sky, freezing his muscles, blood, bones, and even his soul. He doesn't care about this award, the movie is made to his extent, and the award doesn't matter at all. It's just that he doesn't want to lose to the right-wing of Dongying, and he doesn't want to lose to those who open their eyes and talk nonsense, and their souls are stained with blood.
Zhang Jingchu's heart was covered with a layer of black and heavy loss, but she didn't care about herself, held Zhang Ran's cold hand tightly, and said softly: "Actually, it's not a good thing to lose." In this way, "Angel of Justice" will be remembered by more people. It's like "Saving Private Ryan" and "Broken Arm Mountain", if they really won the best picture, maybe everyone wouldn't care so much. It is precisely because they are stronger than their opponents that they did not win the award, and everyone is aggrieved for them, which has attracted more attention. ”
Zhang Jingchu's warm hand and warm words pulled Zhang Ran back from the cold, yes, I made this movie in the hope that more people will know Zhang Chunru's deeds and let more people understand the truth of the Nanjing Massacre, which is the most important thing. He smiled indifferently at Zhang Jingchu: "Yes, losing is not necessarily a bad thing!"
The creator of "La La Land" stepped on the stage with joy in one place, received the trophy from Warren Beatty and Fay Donaway, and then began to give acceptance speeches. They threw all kinds of thanks out of their mouths, causing crackling applause in the theater.
After the two producers finished speaking, the third producer came to the microphone, raised the little golden man in his hand, and said excitedly: "I want to thank my uncle Terry Pitt, my mentor Sam Conn, my father, my children, my wife Julie, she let me stand on her shoulders for 40 years......"
At this moment, a surprising scene occurred, a staff member wearing a headset hurriedly walked onto the stage, took the award envelope from Fay Donaway's hand, looked at it carefully, and then whispered something with several producers of "La La Land". The audience at the scene and in front of the TV were a little confused, in the live broadcast, why did the staff come on stage?
A few seconds later, Jordan Horowitz, the producer of La La Land, walked up to the microphone with a gray face and said, "Actually, we lost!" It's like the night of the cave house, he, the groom, stripped the bride naked, and got the news that it was someone's wife, and the cave house had to be stopped. He endured the grief and indignation in his heart, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Ran in the audience: ""Angel of Justice", you won the best picture. ”
There were people in the theater who applauded and cheered, but the applause and cheers were like the sun and rain, pouring down in the theater, and did not provoke an echo. Most people are confused, Zhang Ran and the crew of "Angel of Justice" seem to be in a mess and completely confused.
Jordan Horowitz saw Zhang Ran's face full of shock, sat on the chair and did not move, and said: "It's true, it's not a joke!" The staff member with a headset next to him also said loudly: "It's not a joke, they gave the award to the wrong one!" Jordan Horowitz said to the audience: "The winner is "Angel of Justice"!" Saying that, he snatched the list of winners of the best picture from Warren Beatty and showed it to everyone: ""Angel of Justice, best picture!"
The camera camera crawled towards the list of winners in Jordan Horowitz's hand, and it was indeed wrong, and the list of winners read: "Angel of Justice, Best Picture." ”
"Ahhh Everyone stood up, and the roaring applause was like hail falling from the sky, making the whole world crackle. The cheers and shouts of the audience were like a continuous salute, constantly roaring. The light of the spotlight was shaken by the noise.
