Any awards ceremony starts with the presentation of some less important awards, and the 46th Academy Awards is no exception. The first thing Niven announced was the science and technology awards, and this year's first prize in science and technology was unpopular, but the second prize was varied. 【】

In simple and easy-to-understand terms, there were four major breakthroughs in film science and technology last year. Bühler Cinema Cameras, High-Speed Hybrid Recording Systems for Film Production, Flow Valve Systems for Motion Picture Printers, 2010 Optical Printers for Cinema Optical Effects.

Among these four inventions and innovations, Wang Xiaohu has only heard of Ali Flex. Brown camera, because this camera is so famous, the famous "First Blood" was shot with this kind of big guy, this kind of big guy has dominated for decades, and it can be called an evergreen tree in the film industry.

"Boss, how amazing it would be if our company had a big guy like this!" Xie Dongshen said enviously: "It's just too cumbersome, and it takes two camera assistants to work smoothly." ”

"It's only 200,000 US dollars, and I went back to buy six units into the company, two for you to disassemble and study, two for you to ship back to Hong Kong, and two for Stallone to shoot a video." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile that although he has "Industrial Light and Magic" in his hands, some good things in his memory cannot be realized, and he has to cooperate with these large distribution companies to purchase their photography products to improve the quality of the company's films, and then arrange "Industrial Light and Magic" professionals to conduct research and develop their own products.

"Boss, this seems a bit immoral, doesn't it?" Xie Dongshen's old face turned red, and he said in his heart, even if we want to disassemble and study, we have to do it secretly, right?

"What's this? Isn't it just DIY after copycating? Wang Xiaohu pouted and said disdainfully, this kind of copycat technology has always been very popular in China, even aircraft cannons can be copycats, let alone a camera.

When the two were discussing whether this was done with a sense of public morality, they suddenly heard that the host David. Niven said: "Guys, the next thing I want to award is the third-class science and technology award, these two small inventions are simple compared to the four just now, and even extremely simple, but their appearance provides a lot of convenience for photography and shooting, and it is very interesting that the two winners are from the same company, they are the inventor of the remote control shooting elevator - Wang Jiaxin, and the inventor of the photographic stabilization bracket - Xie Dongshen, they are both from Hong Kong Concord Film Company!" ”

The auditorium of the Los Angeles Music Center applauded thunderously, they did not applaud for these two things, but for the sake of Wang Xiaohu's face, this year's awards ceremony is full of differences, and the first award just released is linked to the Oriental, although it is a third prize, but not anyone can get it, which also requires a certain technical content, so more people stretched their necks to look at Wang Xiaohu.

"Boss, I don't have a problem with my ears, why did I hear the host calling my name?" Xie Dongshen plucked his ears with some uncertainty, and then asked Wang Xiaohu.

"Master, that's right, what the host said just now is your name, as well as Lao Wang's name!" Li Qingsheng didn't wait for Wang Xiaohu to answer, and directly rushed to say excitedly: "Your photography stabilization bracket has won the award!" ”

"God, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Mazu" Xie Dong worshiped all the gods in the world incoherently, he hugged his apprentice Li Qingsheng excitedly, and held Wang Xiaohu's hand tightly and said: "Boss, boss, my gadget has won an award!" ”

At this moment, Xie Dongshen was so excited in his heart, he was very grateful to Wang Xiaohu, grateful to Wang Xiaohu for buying the invention right and signing his name when registering, and now this award is not so much his own, but Wang Xiaohu's.

Wang Xiaohu smiled freely, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lao Xie, don't rub around here, hurry up and get the award, and remember to get Lao Wang's share back!" ”

Wang Jiaxin studied the launch and blasting tools of some weapons in "Star Wars" in "Industrial Light and Magic" today, and did not follow to attend the awards party, in fact, even Wang Xiaohu did not expect that there would be such a surprise in the first award, I hope that Lao Wang will not work hard with himself because he missed the opportunity to accept the award.

"Tiger, I finally understand that the two people you sent to ILM are elite soldiers!" George. Lucas said enviously: "I'm curious where you dug them up, and what happened to the small camera model that Xie Dongshen made some time ago?" ”

"As I said, it's all a knack, and I'm more interested in the post-production system you're working on, which, if developed successfully this year, will allow for an effective combination of virtual set and footage." Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said. He knew that after Lucas established ILM, he made a lot of tools to make the "Star Wars" picture more realistic, and in this movie, Lucas also created a number of far-reaching inventions: he invented a mechanical device that can easily coordinate the actual picture and the post-production composite picture into synchronization, which has increased the efficiency of the manual hard film description for many years. This mechanical device is definitely a milestone in the development of the film industry.

"I hope what you say will come true." Lucas said with a smile and nodded.

At this time, the host on the stage announced the best foreign language film, the best documentary feature, the best live-action short film award, the best animation award, and the best original song award, all of which have nothing to do with Wang Xiaohu, he followed the audience with the 3,300 guests to slap and congratulate, listening to the winners on the stage say a lot of similar acceptance speeches, nothing more than thanking their parents, thank Hollywood, and thank the judges.

Either he laughed with the audience, because the three male hosts on the stage are all famous emcees in Hollywood, and they have a good set of how to control the atmosphere of the awards ceremony, and from time to time they say humorous words to make the guests laugh.

After everyone laughed, the host had been replaced by John. In Houston, he stood on the stage with an unopened envelope and read out the awards for Best Art, Props and Sets, Best Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress, Best Costume Design, Best Sound and other awards.

Among the winners, the biggest winners were probably "The Exorcist" and "The Exorcist", with "The Exorcist" winning the award for Best Sound and "Rocky" only being nominated, and "The Trick of the Trick" taking home Best Costume Design and Best Art Direction/Prop Set.

It is worth mentioning that George. Lucas's "American Painting" was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and when Lucas finally caught his breath, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Thank God, I'm worried that tonight will be nothing." ”

"Man, the bread will be there, be patient." Wang Xiaohu behaved very calmly, even though Burgess. Meredith was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "Rocky," but these things were too small compared to the awards to be handed out later.

Wang Xiaohu looked at the hostess Diana on stage. Ross opened the envelope and read: "The works nominated for Best Film Editing are "American Style", "Assassination of Charles de Gaulle", "Trick of Deception", "The Exorcist" and "Rocky"" At this time, the big screen behind the supporter began to play the classic pictures of these five nominated films, of course, the best expression of the film editing effect, every time a film screen is played, the venue will burst into warm applause.

"Who do you think will win the award for Best Film Editing?" Lucas asked with a smile when he heard that his and Wang Xiaohu's films had been nominated.

Wang Xiaohu pouted and said, "I feel that "The Exorcist" has more ingredients. ”

"Why?" Lucas frowned and asked, "Why don't you say your own "Rocky" or my "American Style Painting"?" ”

"Because, because of "The Exorcist", the audience is scared, and in a sense, he won the best movie editing for good reason." Wang Xiaohu speculated based on comments from the outside world that he knew very well that if his "Home Alone" intercepted "The Exorcist", then tonight's little golden man would be divided between "The Exorcist" and "The Exorcist", and in his memory, this award is the winner of "The Exorcist" and "The Exorcist".

"Now I declare that the winner is," Diana said, holding her voice, using her usual cliché at such times: "Rocky! ”

"What? It turned out to be Rocky! Wang Xiaohu was dumbfounded, which means that as the chief editor of "Rocky", he must go on the stage to win this little golden man. Isn't that unexpected? He blinked and froze a little on the spot.

"Boss, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and hug Angel!" Stallone said anxiously on the side.

"Congratulations, Tiger, but your expression seems surprised!" Lucas, along with other familiar people, sent congratulatory words.

"Impossible, right?" Wang Xiaohu's muttering was drowned in thunderous applause, could it be that "Home Alone" accidentally washed away the award that "The Exorcist" deserved? But even so, Wang Xiaohu's stunned did not last long, he quickly came to his senses, first hugged Zhao Yazhi, who was also excited next to him, and then shook hands with Stallone and Lucas, and finally stood up in the envious eyes of a group of guests, walked through the long aisle, and walked to the stage.

"Tiger, as the first Chinese ever to walk on the Oscar stage, do you feel about it?" Diana asked with a smile, curious about how magically this Oriental man could have broken this history.
