Chapter 737 Scene 737 You are Obama
In the sound of magnificent music, the star-studded awards ceremony officially kicked off...... Talented filmmakers from all over the world gathered, and the proud collision of American filmmakers and overseas power exuded sparks of passion, and fans from all over the world are paying attention to this golden ceremony......
"This is the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, where the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will host the 78th Academy Awards~~Now the host of the 80th Academy Awards~John Stewart~"
With the deep and rich male voice-over, in the thunderous applause of the 3,300 people in the audience, a magnificent symphony that makes people's hearts fluctuate sounded, the camera from front to back, across the entire Kodak Theater, hundreds of spotlights swaying like stars, making this ocean of 3,300 people seem to be floating and flying in the Milky Way~~brilliant and brilliant~~
"Thank you very much, thank you, it's nice to meet everyone~" John Stewart, who combed his classical middle head, stretched out his hands and shouted: "You are here~~~ You are really here~~"
In the applause, many guests stood up with smiles, Nicole Kidman in the black evening dress in the front row, Jack Nicholson in sunglasses, Tommy Lee Jones, ...... Li Xiaole, who was wearing a black suit, sat in the third row of the right area, also smiling and clapping his palms; Emma Watson sat to his right, Fred Sr. and Sura Sharma were on his left, smiling at the camera, and there were so many British and Indian filmmakers tonight that it seemed that tonight's Oscars were more like an international film festival.
"Thank you!" The applause gradually stopped, everyone sat down again, and John Stewart on the stage leaned sideways, pointed behind him with his palm, looked around, and said the opening speech with an excited face:
"It's so exciting, it's been really hard for the last three and a half months, the indignant screenwriters' collective strike has turned the city upside down, and I'm glad that they came today and didn't throw cake at me." With a chuckle, he continued:
"It's a pity that Vanity Fair canceled the Oscar party, which they said was out of respect for the writers...... But do you know how they can respect the screenwriter~? Maybe they should invite the screenwriters to the party one day~~They'll like it~~ Why are only directors and actors allowed to party? ”
The audience burst into laughter, and there were also some cheering shouts, which was a satire of the bureaucratic style of the Grand League.
"It is said that after the Oscars, there is hope that this strike will end, because we will give the screenwriters a big award, yes, it is said to soothe their wounded hearts, and I dare say this award will make hundreds of thousands of screenwriters happy because their colleagues have won the award......"
The audience laughed again, everyone was amused by John Stewart, the funny host, and only at the Oscars could everyone openly and presumptuously ridicule the big league guys, John Stewart looked down and said:
"Well, let's focus on the joyful movie feast on this dark day, this year's Oscar ...... **** killer movie shortlist, "No Country for Old Men", "Sweeney Todd", "Blood is Coming", "Batman, The Dark Knight"
In the midst of the laughter, the TV screen camera was aimed at the Coen brothers with embarrassed expressions in the audience, Christopher Nolan, Tim Burton~~~~ The people around them were laughing, and Li Xiaole, who was sitting behind them, was also smiling, indeed, there were too many **** killers in these movies this year.
"We can't help but ask, what's wrong with this city? It is not necessary for us to give a hug. After John Stewart teased the American filmmaker, he gestured to the crew of "Life of Pi" and "Slumdog Millionaire":
"Thank God, we still have warm India, thank you to the young man who sat on the raft and gave us hope for life, and of course the lucky Delhi boy who won 5 million US dollars~~ If it weren't for you, Oscar would have been occupied by these dark guys~~"
The camera switched to Li Xiaole and Sura Shama's faces, and everyone burst into applause and laughter.
After talking about the movie, John Stewart didn't forget to ridicule politics, and said with a smile: "This year's Oscar is 80 years old, if he participates in the Republican candidate, he will have the first opportunity~~ (The Republican candidate, McCain, is 71 years old, which is a sarcasm that the Republican Party is too old)"
"Ha Lu Ha~~" The people in the audience laughed forward and backwards, only the average Indian actor was at a loss, and he didn't know what was funny about this......
John Stewart continued to laugh and said: "You have to admit that this is a huge election, a historic election, for the first time in many years, the Democrats are ordering a historic race, Hillary Clinton vs. Barack Obama~~ Generally speaking, you see when you see a black president or a female president, a comet will knock down the Statue of Liberty ~~"
The audience suddenly burst into laughter, and John Stewart suddenly found something surprised, pointing to the audience and saying: "Li Xiaole, oh~~ Don't laugh, you are our Hollywood Obama~~~ Do you know your nickname?" Lee Jesus? Wow~~ A yellow Jesus, this is even more bizarre than a black president~~"
In a loud voice, a cheeky person like Li Xiaole couldn't help but lower his head, cursing in his heart for the bastards who gave him nicknames...... It's not "Li Crazy", it's just "Li Jesus", can't you fucking have a nice and low-key nickname!?
However, the ridicule at the scene also proved that he, a director who was purely educated in Asia, is still an outsider in everyone's minds, and no matter how successful he is now, if he really wins the best director, I am afraid it will still surprise everyone.
In the live broadcast of CCTV Channel 6, the words about this paragraph were not translated, but in the canteen of China Film Group, after Wei Xiao translated this paragraph to everyone, everyone was a little indignant and scolded.
"What do you mean by this shit guy~? Is it so difficult for Director Lee to win the award as it is for a black man to be president!? "What the hell, they're American cows, right?" "If I were at the scene, I would have to tear the dog's mouth of this goods~!"
Jiang Wen also snorted coldly, and the ridicule of the American host aroused strong dissatisfaction from everyone, of course, not only them, but even Emma Watson, who was sitting in the Kodak Theater, couldn't help but scold angrily:
"Stewart, this stinky fellow, even described you as Omaba...... It's infuriating. ”
When Li Xiaole heard this, he actually felt very funny in his heart, these people are here to ridicule Omarba, who is only a Democratic candidate, if they know that this candidate, who is considered to be "a comet knocking down the Statue of Liberty", can only be elected, and will be in power in the United States for the next eight years, I don't know how Lu Dao will react?
If I win Best Director, how will they react? A 26-year-old Chinese? Winning the award on such an important day as the 80th Oscar, Li Xiaole felt that this scene was very interesting just by imagining it......
But at the moment, all this is just a fantasy, after all, no one can say the final outcome.
You must know that Lu Dao is facing not only "No Country for Old Men", which won the best director and best film in the original history, but also "Slumdog Millionaire", which also won the best director and best film in the original next year.
And "Blood is Coming", "Atonement", and even "The Dark Knight" are very strong opponents, and tonight, everyone has an equal chance.
After another big joke by John Stewart, the long opening speech ended and the first award was about to be presented.
"Let's have the Oscar winner, George Clooney, who was nominated for Best Actor tonight."
In a thunderous applause, George Cruise, dressed in a black suit and bow tie, came to the microphone in the center of the stage, showed a charming smile, and greeted him gracefully:
"Hey guys~~"
After greeting George Clooney, his eyes naturally turned to Li Xiaole in the audience:
"For the past 80 years, we've come together every year to celebrate the outstanding achievements of filmmakers from all over the world, starting as a small gathering of superstars at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, but his influence and audience have spread all over the world and have hundreds of millions of followers.
There are many impressive moments in the memory of 80 years, such as the time when someone ran naked behind David Niven, the return of Charlie Chaplin after many years of exile, those great moments, and the occasional missteps, all remain in our memories forever, but the only thing that remains constant is ...... Its outcome is unpredictable~~"
With George Clooney's speech, a film reviewing the 80-year history of the Oscars was shown on the big screen in the center of the stage.
Black and white film clips of Roland Temple and Chaplin flash through the lens, and countless past award recipients appear, including Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, George Lucas, and ...... The unforgettable faces flashed, and their lines were edited into connected testimonials, taking everyone back to the wonderful nights in the past 80 years.
"This is Oscar~~It's amazing~~"
"My fellow Americans." "Welcome to the Oscars." "Good evening, Hollywood nurseries~~" "I saw a lot of new faces, especially the old ones~" "As you can see, I did read the Oscar manual, and it taught me how to dress like a serious actress." "Good evening, it's too sinful to wear this outfit~~"
After the humorous clips, as the song of "My Heart Forever" sounded, those moving moving shots began to appear, Ben Affleck, who used to be a small person in 1998, Mark Dimon won the award for the first time on the podium, yelling with tears, Eddie Murphy's emotional spring dance steps after winning the award in 2007, 63-year-old Audrey Hepburn still gracefully lifted the Oscar for humanitarian in 1992, and in 2004, at the age of 74 and 272 days, Clint Murphy was still gracefully lifted the Oscar. Eastwood was speechless for a long time when he picked up the little golden man......
