Chapter 93: Miracles

93

On March 30, as soon as Fang Jianhui arrived in the United States, the Oscar Association sent someone to contact him to determine whether he would attend the awards ceremony and, if so, whether he could sing "Billie Jean" at the awards ceremony.

Although Fang Jianhui has never been in the United States, he is now red and purple in the United States, in addition to his great achievements in movies, his album "Thriller" is also on sale in the United States.

Fox Records adjusted the chart-topping songs according to Fang Jianhui's instructions, and the single "Billie Jean" began to hit the charts on January 2, and soon showed its power, topping the Billboard on March 5 and has been topping the charts ever since. Another single, "Beat It," hit the charts on February 14 and is also rapidly rising to the Billboard. The success of the single led to the album's best-selling efforts, and since the peak of "Billie Jean", the sales of "Thriller" have been out of control, and the current certified sales in the United States have exceeded 5 platinum, or 5 million copies, and the actual global shipment of Fox Records is close to 10 million copies!

Fang Jianhui is like this, and he is going to participate in the Oscars again, and the organizers of the Academy Awards want to invite him to perform a show at that time, which is normal. In fact, it was not only Oscar who wanted to ask Fang Jianhui to perform, Shirley would receive countless performance invitations every day, but he always ignored it.

Fang Jianhui agreed after a little thought, and the Academy Awards official immediately announced the news, and the ABC in charge of the broadcast helped him make a trailer early - Fang Jianhui will perform "Billie Jean" live at the Oscars!

Before he came to the United States, Fox had already set up the front and back team of "Lightning Dance" for him in advance, and Sophie Marssell was also waiting in the United States one step earlier, as soon as Fang Jianhui arrived, "Lightning Dance" started immediately!

Fang Jianhui prepared a slightly smaller sweatshirt for Sophie Masu, and then cut a hole in the neckline, which looked loose.

There are a few scenes in the film, such as a bar, an ice rink and a dance school, the bar is looking for a local striptease club in Los Angeles, I heard that it is Fang Jianhui's play, the club owner is very atmospheric, not only provides the venue for free, but also provides strippers for the movie for free, and even some of the club's old customers also volunteer to act as extras, which saves Fang Jianhui a lot of trouble.

Two nights of filming at the bar, followed by an ice rink, also provided by the local Monroeville Mall, and the dance school was at the Carnegie Center, where the dance students were all dancers. With the support of these enthusiastic people, when participating in the Oscars, Fang Jianhui had already filmed the scenes of these scenes, and the remaining scenes needed very few personnel.

On April 11th, the 55th Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Los Angeles Music Center, this Oscar, there are three most popular films, namely "Gandhi" (eleven nominations), "Mr. Does" (ten nominations) and "Alien ET" (nine nominations), all three of which were nominated for the most important "Best Picture", but Fang Jianhui's "Alien ET" is the most popular, and "Alien ET" has won the previous Golden Globe Awards. Best Feature Film', as the vane of the Oscars, the Golden Globe Award won the outside world unanimously optimistic about the performance of "Alien ET" at this Oscar.

This time, Fang Jianhui's female companion is Sophie Masu, she is in Los Angeles, and she has been with Fang Jianhui all the time, and she can't go through without her, and then she will make an advertisement for the upcoming "Lightning Dance".

Sophie can be regarded as having seen the world, and she has been to the Caesar Awards twice, but this kind of big scene is still a little nervous, but seeing Fang Jianhui is as casual as visiting his own vegetable garden, it is much better all of a sudden.

The ceremony started at 20:00, and the first award was the 'Best Visual Effects', "Alien ET" won the championship and took the award into his arms, this award is actually the most suspenseful, the special effects of "Alien ET" are created by Industrial Light and Magic for more than a year, which is significantly higher than other films, and the award is well deserved. Immediately after, "Alien ET" won "Best Sound", "Best Sound Editing" and "Best Soundtrack" one after another.

When Fang Jianhui took the stage to receive the 'Best Score', the host reminded the audience that with the previous Golden Globe Awards and Grammys, the soundtrack of "Alien ET" has achieved the award-winning grand slam, and before that, there were only three movies that achieved the same grand slam achievement, and "Alien ET" was the fourth. Moreover, the soundtrack of "Alien ET" also won the British Academy Award earlier, and later the Saturn Award, and was later voted "the fourteenth greatest film score of all time".

After receiving the award, Fang Jianhui did not step down, and the host announced a little excitedly that next, Fang Jianhui will sing "Billie Jean" live!

Fang Jianhui took the microphone and first made a joke: "I've always been worried that the host will let me perform at the end of the ceremony, if I don't get anything tonight, I'm afraid I won't be in the mood to sing at that time." Unexpectedly, as a word, tonight's award ends here, and all the subsequent awards are lost to him.

In the dynamic music, the audience involuntarily shook their bodies, Fang Jianhui stroked his crotch with his hand, swaying back and forth, and the female audience in the audience screamed again and again, "Oh my God, I am so handsome when I touch my crotch!" ”

When Fang Jianhui sings, the dance steps do not stop, he has impeccable singing skills, as well as the top dance skills blessed by the system, every movement is so impactful, making the audience fascinated.

In between the songs, Fang Jianhui once again used the 'space step', which was the first time that the world saw it except for his women, as if it was a magic footwork of advancing and retreating, and everyone who was 'hula' stood up together. Last night's rehearsal, when Fang Jianhui jumped here, he stunned everyone, so that the lighting, photography and others were dumbfounded and forgot the work at hand.

After singing the song, everyone looked like they had taken medicine, and their faces were red with excitement.

"Well, Well, Well" Richard, the host who watched it once at rehearsal last night, is still excited to watch it again. "It's unbelievable! Incredible singing, incredible dancing. I can assure you that the performance just now has no special effects or editing, it is all real! ”

The audience laughed, and the host continued: "After the rehearsal yesterday, the director told Jason that this dance looks very physically demanding, otherwise, when we sing tomorrow, we just lip sync, you only need to be responsible for dancing." But Jason insisted on singing live, and you can see the actual results today. As he spoke, he suddenly knelt down on one leg, hugged Fang Jianhui's thigh, and shouted, "God! Let me worship you! ”

No one laughed at the host's weirdness, and many people also had an urge to bow and worship after watching the performance. Fang Jianhui hurriedly pulled him up and said with a smile: "Don't worship, you should continue to give out awards, I still wait to win a few more awards." ”

It's a pity that the next awards have nothing to do with Fang Jianhui, his five nominations, 'Best Film Editing', 'Best Cinematography', 'Best Original Screenplay', 'Best Director', and 'Best Picture', all lost to the same opponent - "Gandhi's Biography"!

Other awards are okay, and 'Best Picture' is supposed to be nine out of ten, but it also lost. This made Fang Jianhui a little confused, thinking, how can anyone remember your "Gandhi" ten years later, but the scene of the bicycle crossing the moon in "Alien ET" will be remembered by the world for a long time!

Come to think of it, it can only be explained by the preference of the judges of the Academy Awards for such a major historical subject. 'Nima, brother will also make an epic movie for you to see in the future. Fang Jianhui thought to himself.

However, this kind of theme involves a lot of manpower and material resources, and the filming cycle is very long, thinking of this, Fang Jianhui hesitated a little, he is not afraid of spending money, he is afraid of trouble, especially he doesn't like a movie that takes a year and a half.

Richard Attenborough, the director of "Gandhi's Biography", also seemed a little surprised when he won the 'Best Picture', and when he took the stage to accept the award, he said: "Honestly, I think 'Alien ET' is wonderful, heartwarming, and creative, and I deserve this award better than us." Not only did I feel like it was going to win, I felt like it deserved to win. His demeanor won the applause of everyone, including Fang Jianhui.

Gandhi's biography was the biggest winner of the night, with eight trophies out of 11 nominations, including major awards such as 'Best Picture', 'Best Director', 'Best Original Screenplay' and 'Best Actor'. Fang Jianhui's "Alien ET" won technical awards in four of the nine mentions, and compared with the previous popularity, it was obviously a little disappointed.

However, in the media reports the next day, what "Gandhi" and "Alien ET" are not important, and all the media put the news of Fang Jianhui's live performance of "Billie Jean" in the most prominent position when reporting on this Oscar.

"Oh my God! What I saw! The New York Times

"Unbelievable performance, like a god descending from heaven!" HSD Post

"Fang Jianhui, a man who keeps creating miracles!" Wall Street Journal

In fact, it is no wonder that about 30 million people in the United States witnessed Fang Jianhui's miraculous performance on TV that night, and the entire United States, as well as the vast number of people in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and other countries who also broadcast the award ceremony live, were crazy for Fang Jianhui! You must know that Fang Jianhui, as a big star and director, has long been famous, and now, red on red, it is really red and purple!

Fox TV Network's performance of Fang Jianhui was edited out and repeatedly broadcast on the MTV channel, this obvious behavior of slapping the boss's sycophants was not only not condemned, but was unanimously welcomed by the masses, and the masses said: "More more, more more!" Fang Jianhui's high popularity made MTV Channel stand out among other music channels and gradually became the industry leader.

The happiest laugh is Val Garret, the general manager of Fox Records, Fang Jianhui's performance doesn't matter, for the already popular "Thriller" album, it is simply adding fuel to the fire, since his performance, the sales of the album have been on a rocket, at its peak, it can sell a million copies a week!

What is the concept of a million sheets a week? Taiwan's current album sales record is Ye Qianwen's "The Wrong Car" movie soundtrack, with a number of 700,000 copies, which is enough to make Ye Qianwen a new generation of diva; And Xiangjiang's current record is less than 300,000, so to speak, the sales record that makes the singers of Xiangjiang Island look up to, in Fang Jianhui's view, can far surpass it in a week!

The popularity of "Thriller" even changed the entire record industry, driving the development of the entire record industry, and for the first time, people realized that the original record was so profitable!
