Chapter 85: "Unexpected Joy"

When Sid and Max Martin took over the Oscars from Jennifer Lopez, the two of them were still a little confused, and many celebrity viewers also stood up.

And another original big hit, Randy Newman, who was ridiculed by the hero and heroine in "Begin Again", also regrettably missed this year's award.

As for Sid, it is quite ironic, taking over the "Best Movie Song" from Jennifer Lopez.

Max, who was standing in front, looked back at Sid, who motioned for him to speak first.

Although Max Martin has been in the industry for many years and has won a Grammy production award, in this era, the Oscars are incomparable to any other award.

For this, look at Max Martin, who is now incoherent, to fully understand.

"OMG! Oh my God—" Max Martin covered his forehead with sincerity, although many people today said that they had a good chance of winning the award, and the movie with the perfect song was very winning.

But when the results are revealed, no one can calm down.

"I don't know if it's wrong or what, but no——, I got it!" Max excitedly raised the little golden figure in his hand.

His words caused a chuckle, but he continued completely unimpressed: "Begin Again is an excellent film, and this is a great work that combines music and story, and I was fortunate to be a part of the production of the film's music. ”

"I want to thank the composers, arrangers, and singers I worked with, the guy behind me......" Max Martin said, gesturing to Sid behind him, and the audience burst into laughter.

"I don't know if I inspired him or if he inspired me, but when we were creating Begin Again, music, story, and film were intertwined and inseparable, and Sid played a huge part in that. It's been a wonderful journey and I'm honored to be with my good friend, Sid. ”

Max Martin finally changed his usual cynicism and sincerely expressed his feelings, and the star audience in the audience, as well as the guests in the front and back of the stage, couldn't help but applaud and congratulate.

Then Sid finally walked up, he looked at the little golden figure in his hand with mixed feelings, and then looked up, his eyes were blazing, and said, "Actually...... I'm a director. ”

This unexpected opening sentence immediately ignited the laughter of the audience, "Hahahaha——!!!" "I'll go, Sid, can you not do this!"

No one expected Sid to play with this hand, and looking at the stars leaning forward and backwards in the audience, Sid shrugged his shoulders with an innocent expression.

At this time, he didn't even need to open his mouth to stir up the atmosphere of the scene, and Jennifer Lopez in the back couldn't help but look at the talented and handsome young boy in front of him.

"Of course, I'm grateful to the Academy for giving me this award, and I want to be here to share this award with the great city of New York." ”

When "Begin Again" was first released on a small scale, it was praised by the New York Times as "a love letter to New York", coupled with the ubiquitous display of New York's beauty in the film.

During the awards season, there were even rumors in the room that New York City Hall was considering "Begin Again" as a promotional film for New York City.

And now is the healing period after the catastrophe, even though there have been many "conflicts" between the film circles, literary circles and even the general public on the east and west coasts, no one will not applaud New York now.

Therefore, Sid's words can be said to have scratched the itch of many viewers in front of and behind the TV, and the applause at the scene suddenly poured like a tide.

Sid waited for a moment, waited for the applause to subside a little, and then added: "When we were shooting this film on the streets of New York, many people were still shrouded in clouds. ”

"But what impressed me most on the streets of New York was not the material things that were destroyed, but the strong smiles on people's faces. ”

"Every time I see such a smile, I know that this time, even this time, we will definitely overcome the disaster, because the star of hope is in our hearts. ”

As soon as Sid's words fell, there was a round of whistles and cheers from the audience, "Well said!" "That's great-" "Shredded coconut——!!"

Warm but not overbearing, radiant but not dazzling, Sid's speech this time was not as funny as before, but it was more touching.

Just when the audience thought Sid's speech was over, he suddenly leaned in front of the microphone, blinked narrowly, and said, "And, it seems that I still like this little guy more than the record player." ”

Saying that, Sid also shook the little gold figure in his hand as if showing off, he was making a mockery of last month's Grammy, and he didn't award the Best Newcomer Award to himself!

The Hollywood stars at the scene suddenly burst into laughter, and many of them leaned forward and backward with laughter, and even Jennifer Lopez on the side couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.

No one could have imagined that after sensationalism, Sid would finally come back with such a hand.

The film industry is originally a group of people at the top of the Hollywood food chain, they can look down on others, but they can't allow other circles to look down on their own people, which can be described as the consensus "shallow rule" in the circle.

Although Sid didn't go to this year's Grammys, it doesn't mean that he doesn't pay attention to it, on the contrary, because of Britney's last "defeat", the entire Fire Lion Records seems to have a little grudge against the Grammys.

And this year, Sid, the big boss, personally went out, of course, no one wants to go home empty-handed, and "Hold My Hand", which was released last year, is also timely and popular with listeners to a certain extent.

It's just that the final result is still disappointing, so Sid's behavior of seizing the opportunity to "retaliate" this time also offended many music circles, especially the old men of the Grammy Academy.

After this award for Best Song, the ceremony began to get back to business, and after several other technical awards, tonight's first behind-the-scenes award, the Best Adapted Screenplay, was finally revealed.

"A Beautiful Mind" won the award almost without a challenge, and when screenwriter Akiva Goodesmann took to the stage with excitement, even a thousand words could not represent his excitement.
