In this year, the Internet has not been popularized, the world's first browsing website was just established last year, not to mention smartphones, shadows are invisible, so news can only be disseminated through three media, one is a television network, one is a radio network, and then there is the paper media.

However, the speed of communication of print media is slow, radio cannot be immersive, and only television networks can create real and clear shocking points.

The total number of viewers of the Oscars live broadcast over the years is about 20 million, which is a terrifying number, and after the oolong incident, in just one hour, this number has skyrocketed by half.

When Li Wei unfolded a wrong list of winners, all the audience was not calm, the Oscars ceremony has lasted for half a century, not only the signature culture of the United States, but also has a huge influence in the world, it is the authoritative award of world films, and it has made such a low-level mistake, is the organizer teasing the public?

Before the audience in front of the TV could react, the real list was sent to the stage by the staff. Christo is guilty of intermittent confusion and has played the super talent of an actor, he pretends not to know, and he shows a bewildered face from beginning to end, what is the situation?

Award presenter Robert . In addition to a wry smile, Duval still smiled bitterly, he didn't dare to explain, he didn't dare to admit his mistakes, and he didn't even dare to look at the camera, mechanically cooperating with Li Wei to read out the names of the winners on the real list.

And then Carly. Kerry took the stage, but the TV screen was not focused on her, and the camera kept on Li Wei.

The award ceremony has become a one-man show for Li Wei at this point.

The entire oolong incident lasted a total of eight minutes from beginning to end.

The audience in Chandler's Hall witnessed what happened, and the sense of shock disappeared relatively quickly, after all, there were still four or five awards to be awarded, but the TV audience outside the hall went on a collective rampage, and the phone calls instantly blew up the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Chandler Hall Studios, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, in addition to asking about the true situation of the oolong incident, it was a merciless abuse.

even alarmed the White House, the new President Clinton was also watching the live broadcast of the Oscars, and he said to his subordinates very strangely: "It's April Fool's Day the day after tomorrow, they remember the wrong date!" ”

No one will take the oolong incident as a farce, it was a major accident.

After the oolong incident, the media throughout Los Angeles, whether it was the big newspapers or the TV and radio stations, reporters poured out of their nests and went straight to Chandler Hall, they wanted to get to the bottom of it, and there had to be an explanation for this matter.

In the 90s, the American people were still conservative, and someone must be held accountable for such a humiliating thing.

At this time, in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, thirty or forty resentful old men were born at once, and these were all members of the Academy's Board of Directors. Malden wasn't here, and the cat was currently backstage in Ben Chandler Hall, growling like an angry old lion.

"The first thing we had to do was get Carl . Malden get out of power and fire him immediately! ”

"Then let PwC fire that idiot accountant!"

"Then ban that little villain!"

"I think the opposite of you, if we do that, it will be a devastating blow to our reputation, and we must praise him for saving this major accident!"

……

Li Wei stayed in the theater leisurely, and it was not clear what a violent chain reaction his actions had caused, and after the awards ceremony, the live broadcast had just been interrupted, and reporters poured in like a tidal wave.

Half of the reporters rushed to the backstage and directly blocked the retreat. Molden would not let the media catch him, he had already slipped away one step in advance, he sent one of his subordinates to be interviewed, facing hundreds of flashing lights, his subordinates said in frustration: "We are investigating, the reason is definitely not from the academy, the list of winners is strictly confidential, armed with live ammunition, until the envelope is opened, all the results of the vote are known only to the staff of PricewaterhouseCoopers, they have the list, including the errand to deliver the list!" ”

Award presenter Robert . Duvall was already going crazy, the reporter was stuck in a corner, and he couldn't even take a step.

The reporter asked like a cannon: "You know that the list is wrong, why do you want to give it out?" ”

"I didn't know it was wrong!" Robert. Duvall reacted violently, "You can go and watch the replay, when I opened the envelope, the first thing I saw was the title of the movie, and then I said it, I did my duty according to the rules of the academy, and when I found out that this list was not normal, I wanted to explain, but Will. Lee has already come to power, and when he comes to me, should I knock him out of power? My mind went blank and I didn't know what to do with this disaster! ”

The reporter asked: "You want to help the academy hide this disaster, right?" ”

Robert. Duvall seemed to be caught with a sore foot, and said angrily: "Disaster is disaster, he will always break out one day, even if I hide it now, I will reveal it in the future, so Will. When Lee asked me if I had taken the wrong envelope, I said 'maybe'! If I really wanted to hide it, I would just take the list and not let him see it, then no one would know that it was wrong! ”

He was aggrieved, and suddenly shouted: "They gave the wrong list, remember, gave me a wrong list of bastards!" ”

Moderator: Billy. Christo couldn't be humorous at the moment, he was miserable like a wounded ostrich, and in the face of the reporter's question, he said innocently: "Oh, I still don't know what the situation is, I'm confused, how can the list be wrong?" Will. When Lee said this, I thought he was joking and wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but the backstage staff really sent the real list up, God, I don't want to host the Oscars anymore, I think the heart attack is going to recur. ”

"Do you have a heart condition?" Reporters asked him in unison.

"Of course, I have medical records!" Billy. Christo didn't think it was bad enough, and added: "At least more than ten years of treatment history. ”

……

After the previous Oscars, the creator of the best picture, the best director, and the best actor and actress are the key interviews of reporters, but this year is different. Kerry is the biggest focus, and she looks excited in front of the cameras of major TV stations.

"I'm going to say that Will. Mr. Li is so personable, without his correction, I would not have won this award, I can't imagine what I would do if I were in his situation, I think I would immediately give a speech, take the little golden man home, I don't care about the truth of the list! He did something that is difficult for ordinary people to do, and I respect him! ”

Li Wei returned empty-handed tonight, but it was more beautiful than winning the award, and the reporters chased and intercepted him, so that he could not get out, he was trapped in the theater for an hour, and still did not reach the door.

He clasped Leslie's hand and patiently answered reporters' questions.

"Lee, why don't you take the trophy home?"

"It doesn't belong to me!"

"As long as you take it, no one knows if it's real or not!"

"Perhaps! I'm going to a party, you can't stop me all the time! ”

"Lee, when will your new movie be released!"

"'The Outlaw' will be released on Independence Day, North America and Canada will open together, and it has a huge scale of 3,000 theaters!"

"Lee, you've already got the little golden man, why do you want to ask Robert. Did Duvall take that list by mistake, and what did you think at the time? ”

"I'm going to a party, and if I don't go, I'm going to be gone......"

Leslie couldn't help but hold back her laughter, only to be caught by the reporter, "Ms. Mann, what do you think of Will. Mr. Lee's approach? ”

"Any mistake should be faced, not hidden, and I am proud of his actions!"

This sentence was unanimously uttered by all the stars who attended the ceremony today.

ABC, the broadcaster of the Oscars, got the most celebrity interviews, and after they made the highlights into a documentary, ABC's senior vice president, Ron Brown. Mills even summed up the incident personally, "His behavior is certainly commendable, this accident happened, we were able to correct it in time, Oscar will definitely not be ashamed because of him, he will only make Oscar greater, this accident will not affect Oscar's future ratings reduction, I trust the public's judgment!" ”
