"Transformers has a very rich, long history, and that's what drove us to make this film. There is no doubt that each of us has the same idea in mind, and we are all drawn to the myths that underpin this story. The most difficult thing to overcome in the human imagination of robots is that the audience has no idea what this particular story is about when they watch the film... So, my partners and I worked as quickly as we could to define the basic framework of the film: to make a work that highlighted people's surnames. Both we and the fans have high expectations for this film, so we wanted to find the best directors and actors. ”

"In order to highlight the theme of surnames, the whole film is not only a big war between the Bo faction and the mad faction, but also human beings are involved in this war. The male protagonist in the film is particularly crucial. We need a leading actor who has a box office appeal, and the kind of young actor who is loved by fans. I can't think of a second person in Hollywood who is better suited for this important role than you. ”

"I know you're an actor who is very careful in choosing roles, and I have a strong feeling that we should be the same kind of people!" The time for the awards ceremony was approaching, and the guests waiting on the periphery of the venue had already begun to enter the venue one after another, and Spielberg had to end the conversation with a full heart.

Spielberg has a rare seriousness about the theme of "Transformers", and he strives to be perfect in every link. There are only two people who really interest him in Hollywood, and one of them is Lin Mingyang.

Although Spielberg showed great sincerity, Lin Mingyang did not express his position immediately, and his hesitation at this time could be seen from his eyes. And another person who makes Spielberg "favored" him directly does not buy Lao Si's account. The guy even declared that the live-action movie of Transformers was nothing more than a "stupid toy movie".

Spielberg was not discouraged, they were going to visit the base of Hasbro in Rhode Island next week, and this trip was mainly to convince the guy who refused to buy it, and at this time, the old Sso surname even Lin Mingyang also sent out an invitation.

There's a deeper reason for this, and that's Spielberg's desire to see what kind of sparks can be created when these two guys, who are known for their hubris in Hollywood, come together. If the two don't get along very well, he has to consider giving up one of them, which of course is the last thing he wants.

"You mean... Was this visit specially arranged for us? A strange look flashed in Lin Mingyang's eyes, "I'm curious, besides me, who else does this 'we' include?" ”

"You should be familiar with that man!" Lin Mingyang took the initiative to ask this question, and Spielberg nodded with satisfaction, "He is Michael Bay, an excellent director!" ”

-- Sitting in the front row are the finalists of the Grand Prix, and they are also the favorite crowd of photographers' lenses, and their favorite thing to do is to capture the familiar faces of celebrities in the crowd. When they see the camera pointed at them, most people can only suppress their nervousness in their hearts and show a polite smile on their faces. Everyone's expressions were cooperative, except for one guy.

Lin Mingyang, who was sitting in the middle of the front row, had been holding his hands since he sat down, his eyes were sinking, and there was a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something, and his attention was not on the stage in front of him at all.

The award ceremony started in a hilarious way, the narrator of the stage claimed that many famous hosts could not come, and then tonight's real host John Stewart finally appeared, he was lying in bed, next to Harry Berry, and then suddenly replaced by George Clooney, they all persuaded him to come and host the awards, which can be considered a very interesting start.

In order to soothe the nervous nerves of the nominee, host John Stewart, who had just gotten up from the "hospital bed", couldn't wait to show his humor at the beginning.

"Ladies and gentlemen, and Felicity Hoffmann, hello all!" In addition to the two surnames, John Stewart also deliberately added a Felicity Hoffman, as the actress played the role of a transfigurant in this year's selected films.

The joke had the effect of a good opening statement, and when introducing the award presenters, John Stewart deliberately made a joke, "This year we will introduce the award presenters in order of talent." ”

Everyone in the audience was amused by him, but Lin Mingyang, who was sitting in the crowd, did not react. His expression was not only clearly captured by the camera in charge of the live broadcast, but also seen by John Stewart standing on the stage at a glance.

"Everyone laughed just now, except for one person!" John Stewart waved his hand in the direction where Lin Mingyang was sitting, "It seems that only Felix took my words seriously, he kept his head down just now, was he thinking about how many places he would be ranked?" ”

Lin Mingyang was still in a daze, Keira Knightley, who was sitting next to him, gently elbowed him, he came back to his senses, and then raised his head blankly, and the camera lens happened to be aimed at him at this time.

Lin Mingyang smiled awkwardly, John Stewart cleverly revealed the topic, and then continued to show his humorous talent on stage, doing his best to gag, making the audience laugh.

In this relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, John Stewart said hello to Spielberg, and then teased George Clooney, and then edited a lot of Western movie clips on the big screen behind the stage, all of which spoofed all the previous Western shots and made them all "same-surname", because "Brokeback Mountain" that people have been ridiculing this year is the theme of same-surname love, and this film is the popular movie that won the Oscar this year.

The first award was for Best Supporting Actor, and Nicole Kidman was dressed plainly today and had a girl-next-door feel. She opened the envelope and the winner was George Clooney. George and Nicole Kidman, who appeared again, came to an intimate hug and kissed each other on the cheek. Nicole Kidman handed him the trophy along with the stage, and she stepped off the stage from one side, with host John Stewart standing aside waiting for George Clooney to deliver his acceptance speech.

"It's good, it's good, it's not about being a director. A lot of people ask me what exactly is my job? This starts with 1997, "Batman", "Ming Said Empire" and so on. I appreciate the excellent performances of the other three supporting actors. Finally, I'm proud of Hollywood, with so many famous directors, like Spielberg, and a lot of great actors. At the same time, I am also proud of the college and thank them for their serious and rigorous selection. ”

After he stepped down, everyone's attention returned to host John Stewart, "Thank you George for your great speech, but I always had a strange premonition that there would be a 'crash' at today's awards ceremony, because we still have a winner sitting in the audience, and he was nominated for Best Actor, but he is also a director himself." I could even have guessed George's acceptance speech from his speech. ”

John Stewart deliberately mimicked George Clooney's emphasis: "Good, good, but as a director's old favorite, many people will ask me what exactly is my job?" This starts from 2002, "Youth Musical", "Pirates of the Caribbean", etc... Oh my God, is there going to be an era of all-rounder in Hollywood? ”

After he said this, the camera footage of the live broadcast and most of the people in the audience focused their attention on Lin Mingyang, and it was obvious that John Stewart was referring to him. But Lin Mingyang himself didn't have the kind of consciousness that should be paid attention to by the collective, he was still thinking about his own affairs in a daze at this time, and directly ignored the host's ridicule and the gazes of the people around him.

No matter what Lin Mingyang's reaction was, John Stewart continued his teasing, "Don't be surprised if you find out that the host of the Oscars has been replaced by a plumber next year, because this is an era of all-rounders!" ”

The next guest was Tom Hanks, who hilared himself and taught newcomers how to give their acceptance speeches, and then Ben Stiller appeared in a weird green outfit who made fun of the blue-screen technology when he presented the best visual effects award, and the film "King Kong" took away the technical award.

The awards were left one after another, and in this process, Lin Mingyang was in a state of confusion, his whole mind was pondering the content of the previous conversation with Spielberg, and he didn't know that the films won the awards in the end. He didn't take his bet with Kate to heart at all, but Kate, who was watching the live broadcast in front of the TV at this time, became nervous. She was holding a newspaper clipping full of marks in her hand, which was the proof of her bet with Lin Mingyang.

Every time Lin Mingyang guessed correctly, Kate put a red tick behind the mark. So far, most of the awards ceremony has been carried out, and among the awards announced, Lin Mingyang's guesses have all hit. Looking at the newspaper that had already been marked with a lot of red ticks, Kate began to silently pray in her heart that there would be an accident in the next awards.

When Morgan Freeman, the winner of last year's Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and a veteran black movie star, appeared on the stage, the audience burst into applause. Even when Lin Mingyang, who came back to his senses, found that it was Morgan Freeman standing on the stage, he joined in the applause to show his high respect for the veteran actor.

Over the decades, Morgan Sr. has witnessed all the experiences of a glorious era in Hollywood. He has witnessed the miracles and dreams that this star-making factory has brought to the world, and he has read the faces of those who come to Hollywood with hope to realize their dreams. He belongs to Hollywood, to movies, to the quiet and melodious "old era" of America.

After the applause from the audience subsided, the Morgan Freeman award presenters opened the envelope, and finally Rachel Weisz took home the Best Supporting Actress trophy as she wished. When she took the stage to accept the award, she thanked those who gave their lives for justice. The testimonials made by this year's Oscar winners are all decent, and most of them are making some big appeals or something.

"Brokeback Mountain" won the award for best soundtrack, and Ang Lee sat in his seat with a calm smile on his face, a typical expression of the Chinese cultured class. The Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Robert Altman with a standing ovation. When Robert took the stage to accept the award, he joked, "I always thought that if you got this kind of award, it meant you were finished." ”

The best original screenplay was undoubtedly won by the feature film "Crash", and the expression on Lin Mingyang's face was very calm. Keira Knightley, who was next to her, glanced at him worriedly several times, only to find that this guy really didn't seem to care about this. While complaining about his excess heart, Lin Mingyang has also become a "heartless" guy in Keira Knightley's heart.

Although he has been absent from the state before, Lin Mingyang has not forgotten his duty, in addition to being the nominee for Best Actor, he also served as the guest of honor for the Best Adapted Drama Award. The screenwriter of "Crash" gave an acceptance speech, and passed by Lin Mingyang, who was about to go on stage, off the stage. This meeting was very interesting, the winner did not have a swaggering posture, and the loser did not have a discouraged expression, and the two came to a friendly hug, which surprised the people around them.

Lin Mingyang, who came to the front desk, was not ready to say much, he was about to open the envelope and announce the results, but was interrupted by the host John Stewart on the side.

"Felix, you just lost the award for Best Original Screenplay, and you don't seem to be disappointed at all?"

"Should I come up crying and complain to the judges in the audience that you made a stupid decision, and this award should belong to me?" Lin Mingyang's "humorous" answer made John Stewart stunned a little embarrassed.

John, who has always been known for his wit, got stuck at this time, and his expression at this time was very cute. Lin Mingyang patted him on the shoulder with a smile, helped him out of the siege and said: "Okay, it's just a joke, because the script of "Crash" is really well written, and it is normal to win awards, and I am happy to see such a failure, because it can really tell me that I am deficient in some aspects." He looked at the moderator, "Now can I announce the results?" ”

"Of course!" John Stewart nodded hurriedly, secretly thinking that he was lucky.

Lin Mingyang opened the envelope, the expression on his face was relieved, and before he announced the results, John Stewart grasped this subtle change in his expression and asked questions curiously.

Aiming at the camera of the live broadcast, Lin Mingyang smiled slightly, "I know you must be watching the live broadcast, just now when I opened the envelope, I suddenly felt a little nervous, because I thought of the bet, but unfortunately this upcoming result will disappoint you a little, okay, this time I won again!" ”
