Chapter 299: Conquering the Heroes
"Really gave it to her!"
"Sure enough, it's her ......"
"Oh my God! It's really her! Charles, did you see it, it really was her! ”
"Well deserved! This is what J.J deserves! ”
"Salvi. Tucci just hugged her, poor fellow, he looks so fond of her......"
"I can't type now, oh my God, I'm so glad I was alone in front of the TV, I don't know why, but now I'm crying unspeakably...... Seeing J.J walk so confidently to the podium was like a dream come true, and I remember when she won her first Oscar three years ago.
"Really- oh my God, what would Meryl think? Did you catch her expression—"
"Hah! It's great, I'll just say she deserves an award for "Monroe" - it's a much better movie than her last "The Seventh Sally." ”
"With 42 million real-time viewers, it continues to grow......"
"Oh my God, oh my God, she's so beautiful, if Marilyn. If Monroe can stand on the Oscar podium like her—"
"Would she mention Salvi? Or Cesare? Did anyone see that agent next to her seat? ”
"Alas, I feel sorry for Meryl, but this is really the situation this year, if you don't give it to her, who should you give it to......"
"It's ridiculous, the academy is completely crazy, how much energy does Jennifer's backstage have, and it can actually come again after one time......"
When Jennifer. The moment Jefferson received the trophy, audiences from all over the world, of various identities, expressed their emotions in various languages, and ordinary audiences who were not so familiar with the Oscars expressed their expected satisfaction with this result, just like Jennifer, who was confident, calm and happy on the screen, they felt the expected satisfaction: the rest of the candidates, whose names have been heard, have never seen the film at all, how good can it be? Of course, Jennifer, who is the most familiar and praised by them, won!
And industry insiders, fans and gossips, those who know Jennifer better and know the rules better, after being deeply shocked, are hovering between acceptance and opposition: if Jennifer has not broken the record when she won the first Oscar, then now, at the age of 28, she has won three Oscar acting awards, two Oscar actresses, and four Oscars, she has broken countless records, and they really feel that she is creating an era, an unprecedented era, any privilege, Any special case seems so natural to her, and this Oscar, no matter how impossible it seems in advance, comprehensive this movie, the box office, influence, and industry evaluation of this role, now that it has been awarded, it seems so natural, so justifiable, and even used Jennifer. Jefferson's own performance is so taken for granted......
If the Oscars are not awarded to her, to whom?
Who plays a role like her Marilyn. Monroe, like that, swept the world, driving a multi-billion dollar scale of output value, so that Marilyn. Monroe's influence re-expanded to the world?
Who has acting skills like her Marilyn. Like Monroe, she is both beautiful and artistic, and while her beauty shocked the world, she made another breakthrough in acting, and miraculously recontributed a way of acting in a movie, which made film critics completely refreshed?
Who box office like her Marilyn. Monroe, like her, created a peak of biopics and became the third in China this year, and is even likely to squeeze out "Iron Man" and become the second in China, allowing art films to cross barriers and enter thousands of households, so that thousands of strange audiences can experience the beauty of art films?
Who can be like Jennifer. Like Jefferson, every movie is a breakthrough, every character is a surprise, who can continue to open up new themes and make the cake bigger for the film industry like her, who can combine commerciality and artistry into one movie like her?
No one can, no matter how much you hate Jennifer. Jefferson, I hate that she has squeezed out the development path of her peers and juniors, I hate her naïve political tendencies, I hate that she opened a production company as an actress, and she did a good job, and I hate that she greedily has to bring money into every film, so that the film company has nothing to make at all - no matter how much you hate her, you can't help but admit that this third acting award, the Oscar can't be given, and in this year's candidates, she has no opponent at all, this year's Jennifer. Jefferson, invincible!
Anne, who was nominated for an Oscar for the first time. Hathaway is not an opponent, the state is weak, just average, compared to her own no breakthrough and bright spots. Streep is not an opponent, the film is generally dull, the acting skills are too restrained, and they are a little overshadowed by his other work, Kate of "Revolutionary Road" is not an opponent, she completely relies on public relations and connections to get the position, and it is already an accident to be nominated Angelina. Julie is not an opponent, the state is brave, and the shining Jennifer. Jefferson, no opponent!
If the Oscar doesn't give her the award, no one will have the weight to win this award!
"I want to share this award with all the nominated actresses, with each of my sisters -- Meryl, Kate, Angelina, Annie," said Jennifer. As Jefferson began to speak, the scene fell silent, the spirited blonde seemed to be very aware of her strengths, and she did not think about the award without fear, like Kate who won the best supporting actress tonight - this expected award was not enough to make her excited, and she slowly recited the obviously well-prepared acceptance speech, this calmness in contrast to the great honor, which made her seem to have a fresh nobility in a trance--this girl from the slums, At this moment, she actually has the demeanor of a queen. "To share with every actress who struggles in this position, as women, we have carried a heavier burden than men since birth, and the film needs our beauty, yet it despises our beauty, just like my character Marilyn. Monroe, her sex. Feeling the carcass. The body made her popular all over the world, and it also made all her efforts related to acting become a joke. ”
She turned to Sophia. Roland, "Sophia, who is here tonight, can tell us how much effort we need to make to get rid of this stereotype—"
In Sophia, who debuted with a sexy image and eventually became a superstar. In Roland's solemn expression of frowning and nodding, there was warm applause from the audience, and Jennifer continued, "Movies need beauty, and awards despise beauty, we need to be ugly and fattening, we actresses should try to stay away from the word beauty, in order to win the favor of the judges, Marion, Nicole, you are so radiant tonight, but what about your positive screen image, they are haggard, eccentric, with rough skin, drooping eyes, they are so weird, so talented, But they are so unbeautiful, people seem to have a penchant for insulted, traumatized female characters, and they love to watch women cry, break down, despair...... And I would say, why can't we change all that? Why can't we create a beautiful, beautiful, so beautiful character that she can shock people, let her impress the audience, and let her get the affirmation of the award? ”
Annie. Hathaway, Meryl. Streep and Kate. Winslet stood up and applauded vigorously, and for many years Kate was disturbed by her glamorous image and repeatedly played the role of a mediocre woman. Winslet applauded and applauded, while Angelina. Julie also showed a reserved smile and clapped her hands gently to express her appreciation. Jefferson applauded, and even the five actresses slapped their hands and expressed their approval - for so many years, Oscar's love for widows, bereaved mothers, ugly women, etc., has become a routine, a kind of barrier, which forces every actress who wants awards to actively pursue such a role, while at the same time, male actors can compete for Oscars with a variety of performances without restrictions, and have never restrained their charm. This discrimination oppresses every actress who is qualified to sit here, and it is natural that this sharp criticism and sarcasm resonates with them the most, and even makes them genuinely happy about Jennifer's success - why not? She had reached a height that no one else could compete with, and she did fight off prejudices, and she did win the Oscar with a beautiful role - beyond all the deceitful rivalries, beyond all the sourness of looking up to her peers and young people, and that in itself was enough to make people applaud her: Well done, girl! You did it!
"And I'm so proud to be here today to receive this award, not just for me, I'm proud of Marilyn -- I'm so honored to be able to break down prejudice with this person who has been the victim of prejudice the most, and I'm so honored to be able to pick up this award on behalf of thousands of beautiful actresses, and I'm very honored to be honored for being beautiful at the same time, and all of this makes this award so meaningful." Jennifer seemed to be a little excited at last, and she kissed the little golden figure gently, "And I thank everyone who let me get this award - I can't pronounce all of your names for time - my mentor Sidney, my director Salvi, the judges of the academy - all I can say is two simple but sincere words: thank you!" ”
In the thunderous applause, Jennifer bowed deeply, and then walked to the stage with the trophy, the music of the change sounded, the award presenters stepped down one after another, and the broadcast screen cut out the transition CG, but before the switch, the audience could clearly hear that the applause on the scene did not stop for a long time, and it was not weakened because of Jennifer's departure......
"Oh my God! Who wants to see this! "Throwing a popcorn at CG before the annual memorial of the deceased filmmaker, Amanda's eldest daughter jumped up angrily, and a tear of excitement still hung in the corner of her eye, "I want to see the scene-I want to see the scene-"
Although Jennifer had already left, she was still excited about the speech she had just given and wanted to hear how the audience was crazy about Jennifer.
"Fuck, why cut off-"
"Find out, if the interview is broadcast in real time!"
“geez…… Honey, can you hand me the tissue? ”
"I think I'm liking her, Jennifer. Jefferson...... Shall we go to see "Monroe" together tomorrow? ”
"Instant ratings of 46.5 million, very good numbers......"
"Why didn't she mention Cesare at all, and only said a word to Salvi?"
"It looks like the scandal after the Golden Ball is completely just a misunderstanding......"
"Who is Sidney? Why does Jennifer call him a mentor? Uh, he's talking about Sidney right now. ? ”
Amid all the discussions, the commemoration of the heavyweight filmmaker who died last year ended in a serious atmosphere, and the guests who presented the award for the best director also walked out of the backstage. Gannis, who has also been the president of the Academy for the past four years, walked to the stage in high spirits and introduced the five directors who were fully worthy of the Best Picture nomination, "As we all know, the director's responsibility is irreplaceable in the whole crew, he has to meditate with the costumer, he has to choose the right costume for the role, he has to ......"
Bright. Howard ("Conversations with Nixon"), David. Finch (Benjamin. The Curious Case of Barton), Stephen. Moral Freedom ("Life and Death Reading"), Garth. Fan. Sant (Milk) and Salvi. Tuqi ("A Week with Monroe"), these five directors appear in the camera one by one, and compared to the hearty laughter of the other four directors, Salvi, who is a little too young. Tuzzi was very shy, he just nodded to the camera, and there was no more superfluous expression - some interested viewers have already noticed that the director did not communicate with the people around him in the whole scene, and because of his British status, this silence and escapism made him particularly charming, and even many viewers regretted it: it's a pity that Jennifer should be interviewed backstage now, otherwise they can see how the two of them will interact, after all, Anyone who has watched the movie can't help but wonder if there is some ambiguous relationship between the director and the female lead.
"I'm very happy to see five high-quality candidates this year, the emergence of young people and new faces makes me feel hopeful for the future, and the presence of old friends makes me even more relatable," Sid said with a smile when the names were announced, opening the envelope as he said, "and Oscar is going to-"
There was a nervous silence at the scene, and Sid glanced at the envelope, "David. Finch, Benjamin. The Curious Case of Barton! ”
"Woo-hoo!" In the guest seat, Brad Pitt jumped up, and as the director's best friend, he grinned and slapped desperately, as if he was better than David. Finch was even happier, and under his leadership, people also used cheers and applause to express their respect for this famous director who has always been on the wrong side: starting from "The Seven Deadly Sins", David can be said to be a masterpiece, "Fight Club", "Zodiac", "The Fifth Sally", are all genre masterpieces, and he has been nominated for Oscars several times, and finally, in his third and Brad. Pitt collaborates, values return to the mainstream, and Benjamin. On "The Curious Case of Barton", he won the Oscar, and after 17 years in the industry, he finally won the best director's little golden man!
"I ...... I really didn't think about it—" When David, whose face was flushed. As Finch stammered his acceptance speech with the golden figurine in his hand, Jon slapped his thigh viciously and shouted in frustration in the back row of the audience.
"Ahh She said angrily, "I knew it! Best Actress is just a consolation prize! The last two prizes still can't go to "Monroe" - it's so unfair! It is obviously Salvi and "Monroe" who deserve to win the award! ”
Generally speaking, the best editing, the best director, and the best film often form a skewering relationship, because the correspondence between these awards is very large, especially the last two awards, once separated, the gold content is insufficient - if you are the best director, then your film should be the best film, because for the director, the film is your voice channel, and if you win this award but can't get the best picture, it means that your strength does not seem to be enough.
And if it is the best film, then the director should also be the best director, if it can't be matched, it feels as if the film was selected for other considerations, and it is not purely the recognition of the quality of the film and the director's skills. It's like last year, "Michael. Clayton" won the best picture, but the director did not win the best director, in addition to this is his first work, in addition to the lack of qualifications, there are two other reasons that the quality of the film is forcibly improved by two actors, and the best film is Xiao Nian and so on, so although he won the best film, director Gilroy is not a famous director, and the coffee position is not very fast. But in David. Finch here, his qualifications are absolutely sufficient, and this movie is indeed a masterpiece, although it was comprehensively crushed by "Monroe", but under many considerations, the best picture selection and the best director correspond, awarded to this sci-fi romance film, the possibility seems to be greater than that of "Monroe", a love biopic, of course, there may also be an upset by the more political "Dialogue with Nixon" to win the award - "Milk" is not the main theme enough, and the nomination is the limit, "Life and Death Reading" was not nominated for Best Editing, It's also the type where you get a nomination to achieve your goal.
These complicated twists and turns, only die-hard fans like Charles and Jon can react instantly, and Charles is also a little frustrated like Jon - the excitement of being inspired by Jennifer's miraculous and overwhelming award, and now he is poured cold water on Salvi's defeat: although he has been thinking in advance that Salvi will not win the best director, Jenny has won the fourth Oscar, and for a moment, he really thought that Salvi could create another miracle.
"Ah, J.J is back." He didn't want to listen to David any more, and after glancing at the front row, he suddenly found a blue figure sitting back in Jennifer's previous position, "Look, she's talking to Salvi...... Well, and Judy, they seem to be in a relaxed mood. ”
Thanks to the small size of the venue this year, the two people sitting in the front row of the back area were already able to squint to find the right angle and observe some details of the interaction after observing the whole night, and Jon was really stimulated by the news, forgetting the indignation just now, looking at Jennifer's back in fascination, and muttered happily, "We're so lucky, Charles, we can keep watching J.J - you don't know how many people texted me to ask about the scene after the camera cut away just now......"
In the midst of their discussions, David had already received the award and walked backstage for an interview. Jackman appeared at the front of the stage and introduced the final guest of honor tonight: the undisputed master of cinema, Stephen Brown. Spielberg, who will present the last and most important award of the evening: Best Film.
After more than two hours of the award ceremony, the audience was indeed starting to get tired, but the appearance of the big guy still lifted everyone's spirits, and they quieted down from the buzzing whispers, waiting for his opening remarks.
"The images in our films are inspired by the projector of the first film we've seen, and it's an inspiration for everyone, whether they're sitting in the theater or working in front of and behind the scenes, and while we're proud of our nominees, don't forget the people who came before us and continue to inspire ourselves to surpass them at every opportunity we take – let's see this year's best films."
The big screen dimmed, the year kept scrolling through the logo, and the monologue from "Conversation with Nixon" said vaguely, "You can't help but wonder what the people did before, and what choices they will make this time?" ”
The screen lit up, and the enthusiastic smiling face of British journalist Frost appeared in the center of the screen, followed by Nixon's deep voice, "You ask if the president will do something illegal?" I'm telling you, the president won't, and when the president does that, it's no longer illegal—"
Frost's expression turned to surprise, he pursed his lips tightly, and said incredulously, "Can you say that again?" ”
"She looks so good, but you can't help but feel sorry for her......"
With Lady Sybil's lines, the picture went black and bright, Colin. Clark stood beside Lady Sybil and innocently asked, "Why?" Why do you feel sorry for her? ”
In Colin's sight, Marilyn in a white costume with blond hair. Monroe walked in, and the whole staff saluted her, and Marilyn smiled, clearly immersed in the people's fascination......
As one picture after another switches, the five candidate films are presented one by one. Pete, Sean. Pan, Kate. Winslet ...... The big-name stars were happy and sad on the screen, which caused bursts of applause and laughter, and eventually, the broadcast screen returned to the scene, and Spielberg, who was particularly dazzling under the light from the projector on the big screen behind him, said with a smile, "The nominees for Best Picture are, "Benjamin. The Curious Case of Barton, produced by Sean Brown. Chafin, Frank. Marshall, Catherine. John F. Kennedy - "A Conversation with Nixon": Brian. Grace, Ron. Howard, Eric. Fellerner - "A Week with Monroe" by Jennifer Fernando Brown. Jefferson—"
Jennifer, who had just won the award, now looked a little nervous, no longer smiled brightly, crossed her hands on her laps, leaned forward, and showed that she cared about the award, she won warm applause and cheers, but also attracted a lot of whispered comments because she was the only single nominee: the nominees for Best Picture are generally at least two, such as "Life and Death Reading", counting the two producers who have died, and even four names have been reported, it is not very common to be as 'alone' as her.
"And the Oscars will be awarded," Spielberg opened the envelope with a deft movement—and the room immediately fell silent, falling into an almost frozen silence, and the big-name director didn't seem to be on the right track, and the camera had just swept over Brad on the big screen. Pete focused on licking his lips, he took out his card, and after a slight pause, he announced in a loud voice, "A Week with Monroe, Producer: Jennifer. Jefferson! ”
Background music from "A Week with Monroe", Marilyn. The light melody of Monroe's famous song "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" suddenly sounded in the venue, accompanied by the exciting drum beat. The deafening screams and applause then pushed the decibel level of the scene to a higher level. Tide, this is the last award tonight, the result is also a little unexpected, under all kinds of means of mobilizing emotions, the last little accident, so that the audience's emotions have also reached the top, what does this award mean - what does it mean, now no one has the leisure to think, many viewers are immersed in the feeling of witnessing history, they are so excited that they jump up and down, shouting Jennifer's name - after three years, this girl has done it again - a double award!
#
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!" When the crew hugged each other and shook hands with the congratulatory crowd around them, when the big screen was showing Brad. Pete's bewildered face when the music urged Jennifer. Jefferson took the stage to accept the award, and when she motioned for the crew to join her on stage, Jon didn't pay attention to the change ahead, she was so carried away by the reversal that she didn't even care about Jennifer's reaction, but hugged Charles with tears in her eyes and shouted, "Oh my God, Charles--she did it-J.J. did it-"
Perhaps because her body couldn't bear the excessive amount of joy, she suddenly felt the urge to cry, and she really cried, "She really did it, woo woo, Charles, that girl did it-"
Charles wasn't embarrassed by Jon's gaffe, as he was wiping tears from his face, but the chubby boy was a little more sane than Jon after all, and he nodded his head to show that Jon understood her feelings, and patted her on the shoulder to make her look at the stage, "J.J. is going to speak, shhh
For Jon, the world was almost a mess of colour, tears blurring her vision—and her makeup—but she didn't care if she had turned into panda eyes, or even more terrifying clown makeup, and instead followed Charles's instructions, scrambled to wipe away her tears and regain her gaze in the direction of the stage. J.J was about to speak, and she didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime moment.
"Ah," she snorted, a little dazed. This excessive emotional impact made her not feel joy and sadness, but a little tired, feeling a little stuffy after lack of oxygen, and her chest tightened, "Why are there so many people on stage?" ”
For audiences familiar with the Oscars, this should also be the first time, before the Best Picture award was received by the producer, without exception, but tonight, although Jennifer only received one trophy from Spielberg, the small stage was full of people, director Salvi . Tucci was standing beside her, Judy. Dench, Simon. Roemer, Kenneth, who was unfortunately not nominated. Branagh, as well as playing Milton. Green's Dominic. Cooper, the most 'lonely' producer, is the most selfless insistent that the whole crew go on stage and share this glory.
"Thank you very much to the academy for giving me this award...... "When she got out of the hug and finally came to the microphone, Jennifer's blonde hair was already a little messy, she stroked her bangs while saying a little choked, her expression was completely different from the confidence of winning the best actress just now, and she paused halfway through speaking, as if she had forgotten the prepared acceptance speech. Uh-uh-"
Amid the smiles and applause of the audience, Jennifer looked around, and she suddenly handed the microphone to Salvi, who had not won the award. Tucci whispered, "Quick, buy me a little time." ”
This sentence in Jennifer's expectation, maybe it should have been a private conversation, but what she didn't expect was that her microphone was not far away, and the whole audience heard her plea for help - cheerful laughter suddenly erupted, and excitement was replaced by joy, whether it was the guests or the audience, at the moment when the group atmosphere reached its peak, it seemed to be extremely easy to please, they laughed and slapped their hands, and once again gave Jennifer a round of applause.
However, the shy Salvi shook his hand repeatedly, seemingly with no intention of relieving Jennifer at all, until Jennifer shoehorned the microphone into his hand, and he took it with some reluctance.
"Well, actually, I'm so excited that my brain goes blank right now." His pure British accent immediately provoked a burst of screams and applause, the young, handsome director was still still reserved, if it weren't for his claim that he was very excited, I'm afraid everyone wouldn't have seen how this award touched him, "All I can think of is the deepest gratitude, this is an extremely outstanding film, and the reason why it is so good is half thanks to Ms. Jefferson next to me, her excellent production skills and performance, thank you, thank you." ”
After a succinct speech, he handed the microphone back to Jennifer. Jefferson, Jennifer grabbed the microphone and handed it to Simon, but Simon politely refused, she asked for help and handed it to Judy and Kenneth, but they were all rejected by the actors who were familiar with the testimonial time. Branagh pointed at her wrist and told her to hurry, and in the end, Jennifer had to take the microphone back to her, she pressed her forehead and took a few deep breaths, her brows furrowed, her lips pursed, obviously suppressing her tears, and after a while, she said with a slight trembling, "Okay, then I can only take it off, I'm very sorry, I mean, I really memorized the best actress acceptance speech - I really prepared it carefully, but I just wrote the best picture speech casually, seriously, I forgot what I was thinking. ”
When it comes to Best Actress, her confidence elicits admiration, affection, laughter and applause, and then her sincere 'apology' has an unexpected comedic effect, with the audience applauding and laughing and waiting in anticipation of her impromptu speech in such an emotional mood - the clock has passed 45 seconds, but the exit music is still nowhere to be seen, after all, the organizers have always given preferential treatment to the grand prize.
Jennifer took another deep breath, and after a brief pause, she said abruptly, "-Sidney. , that's the first name that pops into my mind. When I was pulled over by Sidney at this point last year and motioned for me to be the first to speak, my mind was blank and I was going crazy with nervousness. Clayton doesn't play as much of a role as Sidney, and his kindness scares me, why me? Why is it so good for me? ”
Her voice choked up again, and the audience could easily see that tears filled Jennifer's beautiful green eyes, and she blinked her eyes, staring desperately at the roof, and stabilizing her mood for a moment, before continuing, "And Sidney shrugged off my question, thanking me, and he said, 'Answer me with a movie,'" Let me see how far you can go', I would never have had the courage to make a film on my own without Sidney, it's been a lonely and painful journey, there have been countless times when I wanted to give up, there have been countless times when I thought we were screwing up, and it was Sidney who had made me through it all, I wanted to make him proud, I wanted him to see that I could go so far - I really could do it. Sidney said to me, 'People say a 27-year-old girl can't be a producer, I don't believe it,' yes, Sidney, I don't believe it either, and we're really proving people wrong, we're really doing miracles—"
She no longer hid her tears, and two tears slid down her cheeks - this should be Jennifer. Jefferson was the most excited of the countless awards, and the scene fell silent. Winslet covered her mouth, tears flashing in her eyes. Kidman, Meryl. Streep, Spielberg and other big names all had solemn faces - they had all worked with Sidney, and even Sidney had helped them reach the top of their game.
"And I," Jennifer said abruptly, leaning over to Judy behind her. Dench, covering her mouth in her arms to calm her emotions, returned to the microphone amid goodwill applause and cheers, and said in a trembling voice, "And I am willing to use this award - all the miracles that this film brings, in exchange for the opportunity to tell you this in person, in exchange for the opportunity to see the film with your own eyes...... If only God could give us a little more time......"
In the midst of a sigh, Jennifer took a deep breath, she took the tissue handed by the staff in the audience, carefully wiped her tears, and smiled with rain. "But I still have hope, I still have faith, and I know that you are watching me, watching this moment...... And we're going to keep going, and let the miracle continue, won't we? ”
This sentence seemed to give her a lot of strength, and she cleared her throat and drank as if to herself, "We'll move on!" ”
After regaining her sanity and demeanor, her smile became a little patterned, "And in addition to that, I would like to thank everyone who made the miracle happen, my director, Salvi. Tucci, thank you, thank you for your full trust in me......"
Salvi owed, and he rolled his eyes and looked intently at Jennifer, as if thinking about something, but the passage did not cause much applause - the emotions of the audience, many of whom were still in the grief of the moment, had not yet recovered so quickly.
"She actually got her ...... again" in the Los Angeles mansion, Conrad. Temple said in surprise that although he was not touched by Jennifer's thank-you speech, and even felt a little hypocritical, but this young man who didn't know the height of the sky was suppressed in the end, and the results of "Monroe" tonight made the cynical him can't help but put down his shelf a little, admitting that maybe his bad taste and the wrong reading of this very good movie. - Of course, such a thought was only fleeting, and he deliberately ignored it.
"Nanny, are you asleep?" Not wanting to listen any further, he stood up and called out softly to his grandmother, Elizabeth. Taylor, of course, wouldn't be there tonight, and according to her usual routine, she should have already taken a nap when she saw it so late on TV, and Conrad confirmed this as he searched for the remote control and blanket, intending to go back to his room first—maybe, just maybe, watch "Monroe" again.
However, as soon as he stood up, he awkwardly stopped the questioning. Taylor was clearly not asleep, on the contrary, she was in good spirits, and only because she was engrossed in watching the TV did not respond to Conrad's call.
"Uh......" suddenly realized that Sidney. Pollac seemed to be a good friend of his grandmother, Conrad scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed, he carefully observed his grandmother for a while, and couldn't believe what he saw - in his impression, his grandmother was an old woman with an extremely tough personality, and his complicated life experiences polished his hard heart. Taylor doesn't cry for anything, not even tears, and grandmother should be insulated from tears.
"Nanny......" carefully picked up the tissue box and brought it to the side of the rocking chair, "Do you need to-"
Elizabeth. Taylor glared at his grandson and grabbed the tissue box.
"If you're leaving, go." She said in a deep nasal voice and a sense of loss, and then completely stopped paying attention to her inexplicable grandson, turned back to the screen, frowned slightly, and watched intently......
"Mom, tissues." Amanda's eldest daughter blew her nose and said to her mother without raising her head, and after a while, she sniffed vigorously and looked back at her mother, but was stunned to find that Amanda was holding a tissue box, had grabbed a few tissues, and wiped her eyes by herself.
"Alas, that's really ......"
"Oh my God, my eyeshadow ......"
"Sidney really wasn't wrong."
"This is the spirit of what Oscar has been saying, which is completely in line with Spielberg's words just now......"
“…… Whew, whew......"
"Dad, stop snoring, go upstairs and go to sleep."
Except for a few die-hards who are indifferent to this kind of true love moment, most of the audience in front of the TV are completely attracted, and many viewers who are easily influenced are also infected and cry without knowing the previous situation, and in the Kodak Theater, Jon is crying uncontrollably, if it weren't for Charles constantly reminding her to listen to Jenny, she has been pinching herself, she has to use up the whole pack of tissues, but, even so, she has already become a big cat, not to mention eyeshadow and eyeliner, Even the foundation is completely washed with tears, and it looks funny, and a little hideous and scary.
"God, let's get it done." She was a little reluctant to listen to Jennifer's thank-you list, and now she really hoped that Jennifer would end it soon, so that she could rush to the bathroom, wash off the mess on her face, and then see with Charles if she could get into the afterparty at Vanity Fair and say a few words to Jennifer again.
"And Robert, I know you've been watching over me, Bob, and it's your help that makes this come true," the more she talked, the more she got into the groove, and finally Jennifer, who was almost memorizing the manuscript, finally stopped, she gasped, clutched her chest and smiled a little embarrassedly, "But—but don't worry, don't rush to play the music—and finally, I want to thank someone special—"
As if sensing that the tone was wrong, the audience, who had been a little tired and distracted, suddenly fell silent again, and even many of the audience members who had already sat down stood up again and looked at the stage on tiptoe. Jon stopped wiping her face as well, she took a deep breath and slowly exhaled them with some trembling, and before she knew it, her hands were clenched into fists, and even - she felt her legs tremble, like the rest of her organs -
Should it be--should it be-shouldn't--
"Look-" Charles suddenly hit her very hard, barely knocking Jon down, but he didn't care, but grabbed Jon's arm and pulled her to his side, and said in a trembling tone, "Look! That's not it, that's not it!
Following Charles's pointing, Jon looked to the spot she had observed so many times tonight, and she heard the soft sound of Gege - it was her teeth chattering gently -
- Tonight, which was vacant at first, and then was replaced by Jennifer. In Aniston's brief position, a man appeared, a blonde, tall, somewhat familiar man, he didn't get up, but looked up at the stage with his head tilted intently, his posture was so reserved and self-controlled, but his presence made Jon's heart almost jump out of his chest-"That's—that's-"
"When I was a penniless girl, a few blocks away longing for Beverly Hills, with nothing but my dreams," Jennifer's expression softened, and as at the Golden Globes, a subtle and gentle smile appeared on her lips, a mysterious smile, a smile peculiar to love, her somewhat red and swollen eyes, and her eyelashes with teardrops, made this smile more sincere and more moving, "I met him, and before that, I never knew I was anything special, and although I had a dream, I never thought it would come true one day, like the walking dead, and I lived numbly until one day, a man told me, 'Shock me, do what you can, shock me, I can make your life completely different from now on'. ”
Her smile deepened, her soulful eyes fixed on the seat not far below the stage, and the crowd avoided it, making room for her gaze - thanks to the cramped stage design tonight, Jennifer and 'that person' were not far away. The camera zooms out, and then – in a creeping, hysterical, mostly female scream – turns to Cesare, whose popularity has skyrocketed since the beginning of the month, and who has appeared on the cover of gossip magazines many times. Vijri, hovering for a moment over his handsome and calm countenance—as if in obedience to the desires of the countless women screaming in front of the television and screaming in the back zone, the big screen was split in two again, Cesare. Vijri and Jennifer. Jefferson's focused gaze seemed to touch through the bezel of the screen, which should have been a slightly chaotic live broadcast scene, but in the display of large-screen art, it actually showed a bit of romance and softness.
"And he did, and he made all the difference in my life and set me on a journey full of wonder and wonder that made all wonders possible," Jennifer said in a soft voice, looking at Cesare without blinking. Vijri, and the handsome blonde young man looked at her deeply, a smile gradually rising on his sculptural face, and a little tenderness was faintly revealed in the calm - "Before I met you, I never knew I could do this, I didn't know I could act, I mean, I wanted to act, but I didn't know I could, the world was full of 'no' for me, full of ridicule, and you ...... You turned everything 'no' into 'yes', you made everything impossible possible, you shaped me, you changed me, you convinced me ......"
She fanned her eyelashes, and a teardrop hanging from her head fell, splashing a moment of reflection in the shot, and Jon pressed her heart hard, almost stunned at all this in front of her, less than 20 meters in front of her, in a dazzling cloud of lights, it was really happening, Jennifer was saying, Jennifer was almost equal, Jennifer was totally-
"You convinced me that I could act, I could produce, I could start a company to make my ideas come true, I could devote myself to charity and change the world with my hands," said Jennifer, the pretty girl with her hands behind her back in a dreamlike tone, her brow furrowed slightly, and a bright smile with tears, "You convinced me that I was not like my parents, that I could really love, that I could really have a long-term relationship, even something I never dared to imagine—"
She paused for a moment, and in the suffocating silence of all the spectators, she spat out the word almost reverently: "Family." ”
Cesare. Vijri's expression softened completely, he still didn't get up, just adjusted his posture slightly, and showed a warm smile to Jennifer, from the far distance of the theater, the screams swarmed in, but time also seemed to slow down at this time, and the various expressions of the guests seemed to be frozen here, and even Jennifer's movements turned into slow motion - she took out her left hand from behind her back, held the little golden figure and put it to her face, and specially turned her fist to the front, revealing the gorgeous diamond ring shining on her head-

"And I just want to say to you right now, I'm looking forward to our future, just like I'm looking forward to the next movie, looking forward to the next role, and I'm looking forward to being with you, keepgoing." Jeanne said she looked at Cesare and all the people around him, studying their expressions and feeling the weight of the trophy in her hand, feeling the weight of the trophy in her hand, and feeling calm: this was her fifth Oscar, and the most sure and deserved award she had ever won.
Since last year, she has planned public relations, arranged schedules, bought the biggest competitors, reviewed all the details of the marketing plan, she is determined to win these two awards, she is confident, she knows how to get them, she does it, she buys opponents, coercion, inducement, bondage, game, she personally removed every obstacle to the Oscars, she personally laid out the red carpet under her feet, so that she has long been at the heart of all this, and the water has passed without a trace - when she received that call from the academy, Jenny knew that the two awards were already in the bag, and did not tell Mary and Jim, but just in case, she had already predicted the results a month earlier.
"Please tell Jennifer that if she has anything to say on the night of the awards, please don't say it when she receives the first award."
This sentence from Oscar made her self-imprisoned in the presidential suite for a whole month, canceled all trips, did not give the media any chance, whetted everyone's appetite, let her personally plan tonight's confession scene, and bought this expensive diamond ring, these two awards are worth her doing, she is not an uninteresting collaborator, on the contrary, Jennifer is always very sincere, she knows how to repay Oscar's hospitality.
All this had really happened, the two sets of speeches that had been prepared had been used, and her performance, in Jenny's own opinion, was perfect, but what she did not expect was that she would be so calm, holding her fifth statuette without a ripple in her heart. In the past, she paid for the Oscar PR, and if she could buy it, she was even willing to buy an Oscar with all her wealth, and at that time she would never have imagined that only a few years later, when she was sure that she would win two awards before she stepped into the venue, when the Oscars were removed and no longer mysterious to her, the entire Oscars would be so ...... It's not exciting, it's like a game she's played too many times, it's like a pulp novel she's read a few times, it's like she was looking at these excited faces, looking at the amazing events she's made, predicting the storm it would set off all over the world, the number of viewers it would pull, a feeling of a little tired, a little forgiving, a sense of wanting to smile meaninglessly, and at the same time incredibly calm.
The feeling of power, the feeling of control.
-- The feeling of a chess player.
Eyes met the other chess player, and from his slightly urging eyes, Jenny suddenly realized that now was the time, she had waited long enough, and if she paused for a while, the atmosphere would miss the highest. Tide.
"And I also know that we will always go hand in hand and go through this long journey of life together." She said that she was sure that the emotions she showed were appropriate: longing, conviction, and being carried away by love. For this scene, she rehearsed so many times that she could instantly enter the role without the aid of empathy.
Like every woman in love, she took the golden man and ran down the steps, her long blue dress raising beautiful waves at her feet, her blonde hair jumping in her ears, and in the midst of deafening cheers, screams, and whistles, Cesare hurriedly stood up and picked her up, and he picked her up and let her condescendingly wrap around his neck, and the drooping blonde hair became a curtain that obscured everyone's view.
Jenny bent down close to Cesare, the overly boiling voice robbed her of all her senses, she couldn't feel his hug and smell, she couldn't analyze and disassemble his expression, the only thing she could be sure of was -
"You're smiling so stiffly." She said, vaguely discerning the closing music and the frantic shutter closing — the party was over, but the show was just about to begin.
Jenny advises her fiancé, her former manager and current CEO, "Smile nicely — you know, this picture is going to go down for a long time." ”
In everyone's reluctance, the live broadcast screen was finally cut off by the CGlogo of the Oscar statuette, and tonight's Oscars ended successfully in an instant rating of 53 million, however, the night is still very young, just like the new actress Jennifer. As Jefferson said, the show is just about to begin.
