Chapter 417: "Rain Man" Fights "The Last Emperor" Again

The 60th Academy Awards were held at the Temple Auditorium on Jefferson Avenue in Los Angeles.

The Temple Auditorium is one of the iconic buildings in Los Angeles, and fans of Michael Jackson know that he was filming a Pepsi commercial here in '84 and got burned to his scalp as a result. And a few years later, it is still here, he will receive the "Artist of the Century Award" awarded to him at the 29th American Music Awards.

The biggest favorite for this year's Oscars is "The Last Emperor", which has nine nominations, followed by "Rain Man" directed by Chen Ping'an with eight nominations, but it has been overshadowed by the loss of the Golden Globe Awards.

In addition to these two films, "Moonlight", "Broadcast News", "Empire of the Sun", "Hope and Glory" and "Fatal Temptation", all of which received five or more nominations, are also expected to be high.

In particular, "Moonlight Sultry" won seven nominations, and the limelight once overshadowed "Rain Man".

On the night of the awards ceremony, many stars rushed to the temple auditorium to participate in the annual film festival in the United States.

Chen Ping'an's female companion is naturally Zhong Chuhong, there is no doubt about it. Lin Qingxia and Angelina both wanted to be his female companions and walk the red carpet with him, but unfortunately this was impossible.

Angelina's attitude was very strong, Chen Ping'an's kind words to appease her were ineffective, he held her on her lap and spanked her a few times, and then coaxed her for a long time, finally calming down this rebellious girl. Of course, this also came at a price, and while kissing, his lip was bitten by Angelina.

Lin Qingxia also thought about it, but she didn't say it explicitly, she knew the relationship between Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong. Even if she was not completely sure when she was in Hong Kong, after Zhong Chuhong returned to Los Angeles, Chen Ping'an was no longer guiding her mentally and physically, and she understood what was going on.

Of course, Chen Ping'an is also ready for her and Anthony Hopkins. Under the operation of Dark Horse International, the two of them also obtained the qualification to attend the award ceremony. However, they entered as ordinary spectators and did not have the opportunity to walk the red carpet.

Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong walked arm in arm across the red carpet, accepting the crazy baptism of the magnesium lamp, Zhong Chuhong kept smiling, but the small voice floated into Chen Ping'an's ears: "You have a conscience." ”

This will also look for Chen Ping'an: "What do you mean?" ”

"I'm afraid that there will be a lot of people grabbing the position of the female companion, right?" With Zhong Chuhong's current fame in Hollywood, she is fully qualified to be invited to walk the red carpet, in fact, she has already received an invitation. However, the position of Chen Ping'an's side has a different meaning.

Tonight, reporters from "Oriental Daily" and "Ming Pao" also successfully "blended" into the scene. The former is the result of Anne Hurd's operation, and the latter is entirely a relationship between Mr. Cha Liangyong.

As Chen Ping'an continues to achieve good results in Hollywood, as well as Hong Kong acting stars have begun to frequently move westward, Zhong Chuhong's value has doubled, and Zhou Yunfa and Lin Qingxia have gone to the United States to film, Hong Kong people's attention to Hollywood movies has also skyrocketed.

"How so?"

"Do you think I can't see your relationship with Sister Qingxia? The night I came back, she looked at you differently. ”

On the night Zhong Chuhong returned to Los Angeles, Chen Ping'an called Li Xiaolin, Wu Yusen, Zhou Yanfa, Bao Dexi and Lin Qingxia to have a meal together.

During the dinner, Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong were very close, and Wu Yusen, Li Xiaolin and Bao Dexi knew their relationship when they were filming "People and Ghosts". Zhou Yunfa and Zhong Chuhong have known each other for a long time and have a good relationship, although they were stunned, they were only fleeting, and they joked with a smile, saying that Hong Kong media reports may not be groundless.

Lin Qingxia's reaction was a little sluggish, and her eyes were a little different when she looked at Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong. Although he withdrew that gaze in time, he was still noticed by Zhong Chuhong.

Women have a naturally keen sense of smell in this regard.

Chen Ping'an didn't know how to answer, but fortunately, the red carpet was over, and acquaintances and friends greeted the two one after another, saving him a lot of hard work.

After greeting each other, the two returned to their seats, and Zhong Chuhong whispered: "Forget it, for the sake of you inviting me to be your female companion, I won't care." ”

Can a woman believe such words?

Suspicious, Chen Ping'an heard Zhong Chuhong say again: "As long as you have me in your heart." Besides, there are so many women around you, do I care about it? And I have a good relationship with Sister Qingxia, so I can't fall out because of you as a man with no conscience. ”

It seems to be true.

Chen Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being a big wife." ”

"Phew, who's your eldest wife? How many more wives do you want to marry? Having said that, Zhong Chuhong didn't know when he became quite concerned about the title of "big wife" in his heart.

The Oscars are a grand gala that is broadcast live across the United States, with tens of millions of viewers waiting in front of the TV to watch each edition. Running this party is not much easier than making a movie. There are producers and directors, and the staff are busy, for fear that something will go wrong.

In particular, last year's accident could not occur, so Chen Ping'an's side became the focus of the staff. It's not that he's afraid of causing trouble, but that he's worried that someone will provoke him.

Marty Pasetta, the director of this year's Oscars, also walked over to say hello. Chen Ping'an was inexplicable, he had no friendship with the other party, and it wasn't until the other party seemed to inadvertently mention the emergency situation of the previous session that he understood the other party's intention.

Marty Pasetta said very politely, regretting the problems that arose last year, and assured that there will never be anything that should not have happened at this award ceremony directed by him. Of course, if that kind of small probability event unfortunately happens, please ask Chen Ping'an to hand it over to the on-site staff to deal with it and guarantee to give him a satisfactory explanation.

Chen Ping'an listened inexplicably. The fact that the ban on Sharon Stone had such a big impact was really beyond his expectations. Even Zhong Chuhong joked that he is now more and more influential in the United States, and he can eat anywhere.

In fact, Chen Ping'an had long forgotten about that incident, did he need to care about a woman like Sharon Stone who died?

Sharon Stone suffered a robbery and reported to the police as soon as possible. learned from the doctor that the scar on her face could not be completely eliminated, and after announcing that she could no longer use her face to fight the entertainment industry, she immediately sued the police that Chen Ping'an found someone to do it.

broke the jar and broke it, she couldn't get along in the entertainment industry, so she naturally wanted crazy revenge.

At that time, Chen Ping'an had already returned to Hong Kong, and according to the entry and exit records, Chen Ping'an had already left the United States at the time of the incident. Of course, the possibility of Chen Ping'an buying the murderer cannot be ruled out, but ...... Evidence!

Not to mention the evidence that Chen Ping'an bought the murderer, even the murderer police failed to catch it.

Later, an American reporter interviewed Chen Ping'an about this matter, and when he learned that Sharon Stone was broken, Chen Ping'an said lightly: "Maybe it's retribution." You know, God only blesses the good. ”

Under normal circumstances, Chen Ping'an is still very good at talking. He readily agreed to Marty Pasetta's request.

As the time approaches, the 60th Academy Awards ceremony has officially begun!

First, the announcer announced the official opening of the award ceremony, and then the guests came out to give opening speeches to welcome all guests to the award ceremony. Then the host Che Viches took the stage and set the cheerful tone for tonight's awards ceremony with humorous language. Close and Michael. Douglas took the stage to present the award for Best Supporting Actress.

Nominated for Best Supporting Actress is Olympia. Dukakis, "Moonlight", Norma. Aleandro "Flowers of the Bitter Sea", Anne. Archer, "Fatal Temptation", Anne. Ramsey's "Murder of My Mother" and Ann. Sasson, "The Whale in August".

Olympia. Dukakis got off to a good start for "Moonlight", winning Best Supporting Actress.

Then it was the host Che Viches who began to introduce the Best Picture nominee "Rain Man".

On the big screen behind him, there are wonderful shots from "Rain Man". First, Brad Pitt learns that he has lost his inheritance rights and wants to take back the inheritance from various Dustin Hoffman to save his company; Then in the bathroom, because of Dustin's outburst, Pete recalls that the "rain man" in his vague childhood memory is his brother Raymond in front of him, thus awakening family affection.

The movie "Rain Man" has received many praises and is well-deserved to be nominated for Best Picture. The lights and cameras turned to Dustin Hoffman and Brad Pitt in the guest seat at the right time, and the two raised their hands and smiled at each other, and the scene burst into warm applause.

That's the added benefit that the Oscars bring to the nominated films, with tens of millions of American viewers watching the awards ceremony in front of their television sets, and the nominated films being introduced one by one at the awards ceremony, so that viewers can learn more about them.

It was not easy for the authority of the United States to be born, and Americans still have more trust in authority. Unlike the brick family in later generations, the beasts are flying all over the sky, and whoever believes in it is unlucky.

The status of the Oscar is rising day by day and has attracted the attention of more and more countries, in addition to its own "software and hardware", there is a deeper layer of reasons and interests.

According to insiders' estimates, if a film is nominated for an Oscar, its box office will increase, and once it wins, the box office revenue will increase again. Moreover, after the film won the award, the return to the actors was also quite rich, not only did the value climb, but they could get substantial material returns, and they could even leave a strong mark in the history of world cinema with the authority of the Oscars.

Therefore, the major Hollywood production companies have to bet on a certain movie almost every year, investing heavily in advertising, and "Hollywood Reporter" and "Variety", which are the two major newspapers in the American entertainment industry, have become the main positions for major production companies.

Major production companies bought out many pages of the space, published movie advertisements for long-term promotion, and could not miss prime-time advertisements on TV stations. Competing for the Oscars is actually a money-burning struggle for various film companies.

Dark Horse International is no exception, and has also invested a lot of publicity funds in order to promote "Rain Man". It's just that these things are handled by Anne Heard and Li Xiaolin, and Chen Ping'an doesn't ask.

The next award for best sound was won by "The Last Emperor", and the next award for the best editing, because "Moonlight Sultry", which received seven nominations, failed to be nominated for this idea, and it became the first collision between "Rain Man" and "The Last Emperor"! R1152
