Chapter 689: The Oscars

The host of this year's Oscars is still the famous American talk show host Antonio.

As the most famous host in the United States, Antonio has hosted six consecutive Oscars.

Antonio is known for his quick wit and witty remarks, and his "Friday Show" is one of the most watched shows in the United States.

Antonio, 42 years old this year, was selected by the Oscars to host the Oscars six years ago, and as a result, he has hosted the Oscars for six years, and this year is the seventh time he has hosted the Oscars.

According to the past practice, after Antonio came to the stage, he first said a lot of ridiculous things, whether it was about current events or someone who was in the limelight, he could always make the audience laugh with humorous words.

This time, the Grandmaster was not spared. As the biggest favorite of this year's Oscars, the Grandmaster is naturally the most popular at today's awards ceremony, and it is the first time for the Grandmaster to come to the Oscars, so he naturally receives special care from Antonio.

It wasn't enough for this guy to tease the grandmaster, and in the end, the grandmaster had to appear in advance and presented a powerful song "It's-My-Life" to the audience, which was warmly cheered by the audience.

Not to mention, although this song was not within the pre-specified process of the award ceremony, Antonio flexibly mastered the scene, and used the song of the grandmaster to immediately mobilize the emotions of the audience.

The most awesome thing is that the song of the Grandmaster directly increased the number of people watching the Oscars from more than 32 million to more than 36 million, which is almost an 8% increase in ratings!

This effect also made the backstage staff very happy. Generally speaking, the 36 million viewers occur at the end of the Oscars, such as preparing to award the actress or the best actor, and the number of viewers will exceed 35 million at this time.

The Oscars are actually also a grand show, and the grandmaster of his previous life often watched the live broadcast of the Oscars, so he knew it very well.

Coupled with the current fame and status of the grandmaster, he did not feel embarrassed when he sang at the scene.

Isn't it just fun, ho is afraid of ho!

After singing a song, the grandmaster's interest was also raised.

As a result, as if cooperating with the grandmaster, the first award tonight, that is, the best visual effects award, fell directly on the head of "Forrest Gump".

In fact, since "Forrest Gump" was nominated for this award, this award has almost not fallen into the hands of others.

In the current situation where computer special effects are almost blank, the special effects of Forrest Gump are almost subversive.

Not to mention anything else, just the feathers fluttering in the wind at the beginning and end of the film are enough for "Forrest Gump" to win this award.

The gray-haired famous Hollywood movie star, 76-year-old Robert Troni walked on the stage, pulled out the answer from the envelope, and read directly: "The winner of the 91st Academy Award for Best Visual Effects is ...... "Forrest Gump"!

Zongyi was still there whispering and laughing with Tom Hanks, but as soon as his name was pronounced, Tom Hanks patted Zongyi on the shoulder vigorously and said with a smile: "It's time for you to go on stage to accept the award!

Zong Yi came back to his senses at this time, looked at his brother, and pointed to his nose.

The grandmaster smiled and gave his younger brother a thumbs up, and Zong Yi stood up in surprise and trotted all the way to the stage.

"Oh......" Zongyi obviously didn't have any experience with such a stage, and he was a little stunned when he stood on the stage.

But fortunately, this guy adjusted quickly, and after humming a few words, he remembered the acceptance speech he had memorized in advance.

As the favorite of this year's Oscars, all the nominees in the crew, the grandmaster prepared an acceptance speech for them. The grandmaster doesn't want the crew to make a fool of themselves on stage.

"I am very grateful to the judges of the academy for presenting this award to me, which really flattered me. Of course, I would also like to thank my family, my colleagues at Storm Electronics, my family gave me the opportunity to stand on this podium, and my colleagues helped me get this award, so I must thank them. ”

"I would also like to give special thanks to my elder brother, Grandmaster, who led me into the door of computer special effects, and handed me how to use the computer to create real computer special effects, so that I can have the opportunity to show computer special effects to audiences all over the world! Of course, what I need to thank most is my mother! It was she who raised me with hard work, without her, there would be no me today, so I want to give her today's little golden man, my mother, Ms. Zong Fenghua!"

Zongyi's words received warm applause from the audience.

Although such an acceptance speech is very decent, the kind of affection for his mother is something that no one can erase.

Motherhood has always been the mainstream of the world, and there is naturally no problem in preaching great motherhood on such a stage.

After Zongyi stepped down, Antonio walked back to the stage, and under his humorous hosting, the award ceremony went smoothly.

Sure enough, as expected, among these awards that were not very heavy in the early stage, "Forrest Gump" really pushed other opponents all the way, and soon won six statuettes including best visual effects, best costume design, best sound editing, best sound, best makeup and best art direction.

100% winning rate!

The Oscars in this life are no different from those in the previous life, the process is more than three or four hours, and in addition to the awards, there are also some theatrical performances.

After a period of performances, the award ceremony continued.

Next is a heavier award, the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

The award was presented by Michael Douglas, Vice President of the Writers Guild of Hollywood.

He is a significant figure in Hollywood's screenwriting scene, not only as vice president of the Writers Guild, but also as a very well-known senior editor. His work is now in Hollywood, starting at least $800,000.

Douglas stood on the stage, first introduced the five films selected for this award, and then pulled out the answer to this award from the envelope, and then said with a smile: "The winner of the 91st Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay is ...... "Forrest Gump", Grandmaster! Congratulations to Mr. Grandmaster!"

The audience immediately remembered the tidal wave of applause.
