Chapter 295: Accident

"Can I sit next to you next time?" Virginia let go of the way a little as there were no reporters around, and gave Eric a seductive look.

Eric smiled and took the girl's little hand and squeezed it, saying, "Of course, as long as you want." ”

Virginia looked around, the award ceremony would only start in a few minutes, and there were more familiar people around, so she didn't break away, and obediently let Eric hold her hand.

At 16:30 EST, the 62nd Academy Awards officially began.

Having learned the lessons of the previous awards ceremony, this time, the awards ceremony once again appeared as the host, Billy Kristol, and in Eric's memory, Billy Crystal hosted nine successive Oscars.

Many people wonder how such a guy who is not well-known in Hollywood can always appear on the stage of the Oscars, in fact, the host of the Oscars does not have to be a Hollywood actor, many times, he is the host of a TV talk show. Of course, Billy Crystal and another famous Oscar-winning presenter, Whoopi Goldburg, are arguably the most famous Oscar presenters in Hollywood. In addition to being an actor, Christo is also the host of the famous talk shows such as "Saturday Night Live".

At the beginning of the show, as usual, it is a series of songs and dances of Oscar-nominated films, and Christo sang the films nominated this year, such as "My Left Foot", "Steel Magnolia", "Island Horror", "Drive for Miss Daisy", etc., in a singing way, because the strings are very exciting, and it is not a few words of ridicule to the guests in the audience, so it is also interesting to listen to.

After the award finale for Best Supporting Actor, a series of minor awards followed. It wasn't until more than 20 minutes later that Steve Martin, known as Hollywood's 'Pulsatilla', took the podium that Eric cheered up a little. Because, the next award is Best Original Score. The "Silent Love" copied by Eric in "Dark War" was nominated.

"A good soundtrack can make a movie even better, so let's take a look at which films have been nominated this year," Steve Martin said, gesturing to the big screen, where there were several scenes of the nominees' scores.

"Nominated for Best Original Score, 'Kiss the Girl' from 'The Little Mermaid' and 'I See Your Smile' from 'Warm Family'. 'I used to be that kind of girl' in "Second Spring" and 'Silent Love' in "Dark War". ”

After introducing the nominations, Steve Martin opened the envelope in his hand, glanced inside, and then raised his head in a little surprise and looked for the audience, his eyes locked on Eric's face for half a second, and then quickly retracted it, reading: "The winner of this year's Oscar for Best Original Score is: 'Silent Love', "Dark War". ”

Wow -

Before the wordless sound of love music could be remembered, a uniform exclamation sounded in the entire hall in advance, and then countless eyes turned to Eric's side.

Eric also felt a little incredulous and stood up. quickly hugged everyone around him one by one, and walked towards the stage with a smile.

After receiving the golden figure from the award presenter, Eric came to the microphone. quickly organized the language, looked around the audience, and then said with a smile: "This is really surprising, I didn't expect that the first Oscar I won turned out to be the best original soundtrack, but the little golden man is heavier than I thought." ”

There was a chuckle from the audience.

After the laughter stopped slightly, Eric continued, "More than a year ago. I was just an unknown young man who had just come of age because my father died suddenly. I had to drop out of school and work part-time at an Italian restaurant. And then. Suddenly one day, I thought, I can't be like this anymore, I have to do something, I have to do something, this desire is very strong, so I started trying to write my first novel and my first screenplay, and luckily, with the help of some people, I got lucky and made it all the way to where I am today. I've always loved music since I was a kid, and after getting paid for the film "Seventeen Again", I bought my first piano, and in my spare time I always pondered some tunes once in a while, and then wrote them down a little clumsily in staves, and "Silent Love" is the product of this inspiration, and I am not a professional soundtrack, so it was very unexpected to win this award. I would like to thank the people who helped me along the way, Mr. Michael Krauss, who helped me publish my first book, James Brooks and Penny Marshall, who gave me the opportunity to enter Hollywood, Jeffrey Hansen, who helped me with my first film and supported me silently for the next year, and finally, the beautiful ladies of my films, oh...... Well, don't laugh, I'm serious, thank you, thank you all. ”

Although he didn't prepare a draft, Eric completed his acceptance speech at a rapid pace, and then walked backstage with the two award presenters.

When Eric returned to his seat, the best makeup had been handed out immediately after the best soundtrack, and the guests were introducing the nominations for this year's Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film.

When the two people who were not too familiar with Eric read out the best foreign language film award-winning film "Rodin's Lover", Eric looked at the somewhat neurotic woman on the big screen, and his expression moved slightly.

"What's the matter, inspiration again?" said Virginia with a hint of teasing in her tone.

Eric shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered a few people." ”

"Why don't you just say that I think of a few women. Virginia teased softly again.

Eric smiled, he did think of a couple of women, Isabelle Adjani on the big screen, and two other women, Sophie Marceau and Monica Bellucci.

Eric originally had a feeling that although Isabel Adjani had the best acting skills, Sophie Marceau was second, and Monica Bellucci was completely a vase, however, in terms of appearance, the three had a lot in common, and Eric had seen someone comment in his previous life that Isabel Adjani looked like a combination of Sophie Marceau and Monica Bellucci.
