————————————————————————————————————
The Academy Awards is an annual award in the United States that recognizes the achievements of the film industry, aiming to encourage the creation and development of excellent films, covering a variety of film genres, with more than 20 different awards, and is the oldest and most influential film award in the world.
The awards are televised live in dozens of countries every year, and their status in the American film industry is on par with the Grammy Awards for music, the Emmys for television, and the Tony Awards for theater, all of which are modeled after the Academy Awards.
In contrast, the Hong Kong Film Awards, which have just been formalized, are far behind, even if the awards themselves are not influential enough, the overall strength of the Hong Kong film industry is still far behind Hollywood. Therefore, there is still a very long way to go for Hong Kong films in the future.
When Wei Xiong and Zhong Chuhong walked on the red carpet holding hands, he had a more intuitive and profound understanding of that kind of gap. For example, around the red carpet, there are more than a dozen large crane-arm cameras, both affiliated with the same and different stations.
But whether it is a TV station or not, this cannot be seen at last year's Hong Kong Film Awards, because there is only one live TV station - Phoenix Satellite TV, and there are two rocker arms outside the venue.
In an instant, a sense of responsibility grew in Wei Xiong's heart for no reason, in the next few years, he must try his best to enhance the influence of the Hong Kong Film Awards, it is unrealistic to surpass the Academy Awards, but it can become a film award second only to the Oscars, and he can still work hard.
And the most effective way to achieve this goal is to make Hong Kong a real Oriental Hollywood, just like many actors regard Hollywood as a holy place in their hearts and dream of developing in Hollywood. It is necessary to make Hong Kong a holy place in the minds of countless actors.
To get back to the point, the appearance of Wei Xiong and Zhong Chuhong caused quite a stir, not only because both of them have good popularity in the United States, ~□dǐng~□diǎn~□ small~□ said, .≦.o●s_(); Especially Wei Xiong, the successive releases of "My Heart is Eternal" and "Morning Light" have long made Wei Xiong the idol of countless Americans.
is also because of the appearance of two oriental faces on this stage dominated by Europeans and Americans, which is particularly conspicuous. In fact, the rules for the red carpet ceremony at the Academy Awards are similar to those at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and those shortlisted are generally in the form of crews.
And today on behalf of "People and Ghosts", there are several on the red carpet, including both Hollywood and Hong Kong film circles.
However, the organizing committee broke the routine and arranged for Wei Xiong and Zhong Chuhong to appear separately one step earlier, which shows the importance attached to the two.
No, when Wei Xiong and Zhong Chuhong walked on the red carpet, a huge cheer immediately broke out around them, some shouted Wei Xiong's name, and some shouted Zhong Chuhong's name. However, I didn't see anyone holding up slogans, so I think it should be that the organizing committee has relevant regulations prohibiting slogans.
This makes the whole scene look neat and standardized, and the effect presented to the audience in live TV should be much better.
This is an experience worth learning from, Wei Xiong made a decision at the beginning, and next year's Hong Kong Film Awards will also have relevant regulations.
The length of the red carpet is about 200 meters, Wei Xiong and Zhong Chuhong walked for about three minutes, and every ten or twenty meters they walked, they would stop and pose for reporters on both sides to take pictures. It is worth mentioning that Zhong Chuhong's evening dress today is definitely worthy of the word sexy.
Unlike the red bandeau evening dress she wore at the red carpet ceremony at the Hong Kong Film Awards, the black spaghetti straps she wore today, plus the open-chested and backless evening dress were enough to brighten the eyes of countless men, and the surrounding bright spotlights are the best proof.
Even in the afternoon, when Wei Xiong saw her change into this evening dress, he couldn't help but press her on the bed on the spot and ravage-ravage.
In the end, Wei Xiong was cool, Zhong Chuhong was also comfortable, but the dress was wrinkled. It took me more than half an hour to use the iron provided by the hotel to carefully smooth out the wrinkled places. During this period, Wei Xiong gained a lot of Zhong Chuhong's eyes.
There is an outfield host standing on a small stage at the end of the red carpet, but unlike the Hong Kong Film Awards, there is only one outfield supporter for the Academy Awards, and the outfield host does not act as the infield host, but is only responsible for hosting the red carpet ceremony.
When Wei Xiong and Zhong Chuhong walked off the red carpet, they were immediately stopped by the outfield host, this year's outfield host is named Ur Nara?? Lopez, a middle-aged black woman, is also the host of N TV in the United States, known for her bold and humorous hosting style.
"Miss Zhong, you are really beautiful and sexy today, compared to many unbeatable actresses, really, you didn't see those reporters drooling when they saw it, I think you will definitely be able to appear on the entertainment pages of major media tomorrow. ”
"Thank you, it's the first time I've been to the Oscars, I'm honored and excited, and I don't think about anything compared to anything else. ”
After all, this is someone's home field, Zhong Chuhong still knows how to be modest, but Urnara?? Lopez obviously didn't intend to let Zhong Chuhong go like this.
"According to market research, you're the favorite winner for Best Actress this year, and to be honest, your performance in 'Ghost Love' is really good, you know that I rarely go to the cinema to watch movies, and I think it's entirely possible that you will be the ultimate winner. ”
"Actually, I'm very happy to be nominated, and it's not the most important thing to win the award. And the actors who were shortlisted for Best Actress this year are all very strong, even if my appearance is not bad, in the face of such fierce competition, the odds are still very small. ”
Seeing that Zhong Chuhong intends to carry out the modesty of the Chinese to the end, plus there is not much time, Urnara?? Lopez immediately turned his attention to Wei Xiong: "Mr. Wei, now many American media and Americans hail you as the god of song and music, what do you think about this?"
"It's a blessing to have diǎn, and for a music lover, it's a very happy thing that your work can be liked by fans. ”
"As far as I know, many of your singers who have become popular with you have held concerts, some of which are dozens of concert tours in a row, but you yourself have not, and you have never even participated in any commercial performances, which is something that many people are puzzled and deeply regret. ”
"It's no exaggeration to say that as long as you hold a concert in Los Angeles, even if it's 50 concerts in a row, it's sure to be a full house. But you didn't. Is it really because your father doesn't like it, or is there some other reason that outsiders don't know?"
"At first, it was really because my father didn't like it, he was a very traditional person, and he thought that performing on stage would make him very shameful. ”
"But then it's more of my own reason, you should know that I have a lot of industry, and it takes me a lot of time to take care of the company's affairs every day, and I don't have any extra time to go to concerts or do other things. Of course, I will still participate in public welfare performances. ”
Urnara?? Lopez shrugged his shoulders: "This has to be said to be bad news, but I have diǎn doubts, is it really because you don't have time because of work?
Wei Xiong's face remained unchanged, and he still smiled: "Those are all nonsense from the media, you know, sometimes for the sake of sales, many media don't care whether the things reported are true or not, and even deliberately make up or exaggerate." For this diǎn, I think the media in the United States is similar. ”
"Okay, so you and Miss Zhong are really just good friends? Of your three movies that focus on the international market, two of them are Miss Zhong worried about the heroine, is this kind of cooperation too frequent? Or are you deliberately praising Miss Zhong?" Lopez asked.
Wei Xiong's tone was quite firm: "Of course, we are just good friends, maybe closer than ordinary good friends, but it is definitely not what you think, if you are a Hong Kong person, you will not ask such a question, otherwise some men will be angry." ”
The last sentence is implying that Zhong Chuhong has a boyfriend, Urnara?? Lopez could naturally hear it, and originally wanted to gossip to Zhong Chuhong again, but at this time, the next group of guests was only thirty or forty meters away from the end of the red carpet. Seeing this, she could only give up.
Entering the venue under the leadership of the staff, without that kind of high-profile scene, Zhong Chuhong's nerves immediately relaxed a lot, and the smile on her face that had been maintained also converged, and then saw her secretly pinching Wei Xiong's arm, and said quite angrily:
"Seeing that you answered so resolutely just now, and deliberately hinted that I have a boyfriend, what do you mean? Are you worried that I will pester you?"
"Where do you want to go, tonight's awards ceremony Phoenix Satellite TV and B are live, if my attitude is not clear, I don't have anything to do, anyway, I'm not itchy now because I have more lice, but you're different, you're your boyfriend, what if Zhu Jiading misunderstands. ”
"Even if Zhu Jiading didn't misunderstand, if the media used it to hype, it would not be good for your reputation, and your relationship with Zhu Jiading was almost universally known. ”
When Zhong Chuhong heard this, her face suddenly looked a lot better, and things were really as Wei Xiong said, but when she thought of Zhu Jiading, she couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness in her heart, as a woman with a boyfriend, she knew that her actions were immoral, but she couldn't control herself.
It's like a drug, you know it's dangerous, but you just can't help but want to smoke it. When you finish smoking, you may regret it, but after a few days, you will become addicted to drugs and you will have to smoke again. Time and time again, the addiction is getting bigger and bigger, and it's getting harder and harder to quit.
On the way to Cheng, there were many people who greeted Wei Xiong, both those who knew and those who didn't, Wei Xiong either greeted with a smile or stopped to say hello. Of course, there are many people who greet Zhong Chuhong, especially young male stars.
After walking for a few minutes, the two walked to their positions, together with the crew of "Human and Ghost Love", relatively forward, in the third row......
The award ceremony officially began on 8 diǎn and lasted until the end of 10 diǎn, and the whole process Wei Xiong felt the most was the strength of Hollywood and the strength of European and American culture. In terms of the arrangement of the infield alone, the awards ceremony of the Hong Kong Film Awards is not inferior.
However, the winners of the Hong Kong Film Awards are basically from Hong Kong, and at most from Taiwan, while the winners of the Academy Awards come from all over the world, with different languages, cultures, nationalities, skin colors, and even races, but they have a common diǎn.
That is, they all belong to Hollywood, and this kind of attraction and tolerance cannot be achieved and possessed by today's Hong Kong films.
As for the results of the awards, as Wei Xiong predicted, Zhong Chuhong missed out on the Best Actress award, which was won by Mary Matlin of "The Daughter of a Sad God". Of course, the Oscar jury didn't kill all of "Ghost Love".
In the remaining five awards, Wei Xiong won Best Original Screenplay, and Whoopi Goldberg, who played Ota the psychic, won Best Supporting Actress.
As a result, Wei Xiong became the first Chinese to win an Academy Award in 59 years (1987 was the 59th Academy Awards), which is destined to go down in history. And when the award presenter shouted Wei Xiong's name, the whole venue immediately erupted in warm applause.
Wei Xiong was very calm, and after shaking hands with the people around him, he hugged Zhong Chuhong again, and walked briskly onto the stage.
It is worth mentioning that the person who presented him with the award was actually Madonna Siccone and another man who is said to be a famous Hollywood screenwriter.
When he received the golden trophy from Madonna and hugged Madonna, Madonna's rather annoyed voice came from his ear:
"You bastard. ”
He didn't answer, he couldn't say anything on such an occasion, and he still had a smile on his face, but this Wei Xiong might be diǎn hateful in Madonna's eyes, just because Wei Xiong didn't have half a pity for her last night, and her strength and enormity made her completely powerless.
Cool is cool, but obviously overloaded, until the end of the pie duì she didn't breathe, so much so that last night she could only be in Michael?? Jackson was resting at home, and even then her body was still diǎn hot, and she could even feel that she was walking weirdly.
The award was presented to him by Madonna, apparently just a coincidence.
Wei Xiong didn't care, and stood in front of the microphone and gave a simple and humorous acceptance speech. Although according to his memory, he knew that he was likely to win the award, he did not prepare his acceptance speech in advance, and his speech, which was about 20 seconds long, was completely improvised.
Overall, the cake of this Academy Awards is divided evenly.
No film can dominate, and the most awarded "Field Platoon" only won four awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
……
Zhao Yazhi looked at the two red bars on the pregnancy test stick and sighed weakly.
She has only been divorced from Huang Jinsen for a few months, and she is pregnant with other men's children so soon, if it spreads, public opinion will definitely turn the world upside down.
The most important thing is that she has no idea what Wei Xiong's attitude would be if she knew she was pregnant.
Is it gladly accepted?
Or do you want her to beat her off with an ugly face?
Even now, she didn't know if Wei Xiong was just playing with her, or if she was serious, and all of them were in a mess in an instant.
More than half an hour passed.
Hongzai and Xiaoguang were picked up by their uncle and went out to play.
Her chaotic head calmed down a little, and then a question came to mind, she and Wei Xiong had probably done it five or six times in the past two months.
Every time she took premedication, even during the safe period.
Just in case, how can you still get pregnant?
Could it be that the pre-medication has failed?
No, it seems that she didn't eat once, but she thought that on the day Huang Jinsen went to school to snatch the child, Wei Xiong spent the night with her.
That day, the pre-medicine ran out.
It also happened to be a safe period, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Could it be that because of such an oversight that can only be described as a coincidence, he won the lottery?
I sat on the sofa for a long time.
She picked up the phone and called a doctor who had helped her deliver Hongzai and Xiaoguang before, and made an appointment to go to the hospital for a check-up after work at noon.
It's too early to say anything.
First of all, you must first determine whether you are really pregnant.
……
When Zhao Yazhi came to the hospital, it was already 12 and a half years, and since it was off-duty time, except for the doctors and nurses on duty, the entire hospital seemed empty.
After a brief inquiry.
The doctor personally took Zhao Yazhi to do B-ultrasound.
Back in the outpatient room, this female doctor in her fifties with a kind face took the examination report and looked at it, and then said to Zhao Yazhi:
"Miss Zhao, you are indeed pregnant. ”
"It's been seven weeks and now the fetus is developing well. ”
"This ......" Zhao Yazhi's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he looked at the doctor after a while: "Doctor Li, the examination shouldn't be wrong, right?"
"This Miss Zhao can rest assured, the B-ultrasound is displayed very clearly. ”
"And you just said drowsiness, breast pain, and nausea, these are typical symptoms of early pregnancy, and you can't be wrong. ”
Hearing what the doctor said, Zhao Yazhi also lost the last trace of illusion.
He reached out and took the inspection report.
"During pregnancy, especially in the early stages, you can't do strenuous exercise, you have to pay special attention to it if you are an actor, and come back for a check-up at 12 weeks. ”
"Thank you, Dr. Lee. ”
"Please also ask Dr. Li not to tell anyone about my pregnancy. ”
"I know that. Dr. Li agreed with a smile, it was not the first time she had done this kind of examination for a celebrity, so she naturally knew what to do.
"Then I'll go first. ”
After speaking, Zhao Yazhi put on sunglasses and a hat and walked out of the outpatient room, bowed his head all the way and hurriedly returned to the car, waiting for the moment when the car door was closed.
It was as if the last of her strength had been drained.
