At this moment, more than 50 million viewers across the United States watched the historical moment when Hugo won the second Oscar, which became the highest point in history after last year's "Titanic"!

At the same time, more than 50 million viewers watched Hugo's moving confession, the eyes full of tears, the heart-pounding heart, and the girl's heart that melted in sweetness, spread densely in North America like rain hitting the beach. It's unimaginable that a confession without "I love you" and a confession without a "protagonist" can easily touch thousands of hearts yearning for love.

Hugo didn't know that his words were considered "confessions", he just felt it, and after seven long years of coming here, he finally stopped, and he and she were finally together. And the dream that the two people set from the beginning has finally come true, and now his heart is surging, so he expressed it without concealment. But Hugo had no idea that such a wave would be made.

Back backstage, fellow actors flocked to the scene, and even Steven Spielberg, who had been staying backstage, ran up to join in the fun, laughing and teasing, "You still say that you can't talk sweetly, this is obviously the situation of asking me to go home and kneel on the keyboard." One sentence made Hugo completely confused, and he could only stare at the excited faces around him.

Hugo tried to find Charlize in the crowd, but he couldn't find it for a while, which made Hugo extremely confused: shouldn't Charlize be in the background now?

Charlize was indeed backstage at this time, but she quietly hid in the bathroom, because the emotions were so turbulent that she almost cried uncontrollably. Even when Hugo confessed to herself in the church, she didn't cry so much, not because it was the first time Hugo had shown his heart in public, but because it was her and Hugo's dream at the beginning.

In fact, long before she moved into Sunset Square, when the two of them first met, they mentioned actor life. At that time, she almost didn't know anything about the profession of an actor, and if she hadn't been cornered, she wouldn't have chosen to become an actor. And from the very beginning, she refused to be a vase, aspiring to be a truly great actress. She learned acting from scratch, and Hugo was always by her side.

This is the dream that belongs to the two of them, and it is also the dream that allows the two of them to keep getting closer and moving forward side by side, and it is also the dream that allows the two of them to finally come together. They are friends, but also lovers, they know each other from acquaintance, acquaintance to love, the persistence and persistence of dreams is always the most precious softness in the hearts of two people.

Today, her dream has come true, and his dream has come true again, and more importantly, the two of them have achieved their dreams on the same night and on the same stage. The weight of seven years suddenly invaded, and countless ups and downs roared in her mind, so that she had no power to parry at all, and could only collapse completely.

It wasn't until this moment that Charlize knew that she was so in love with Hugo, as if she was poisoned, the kind of poison that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, integrated into the blood, and branded the soul, which was unforgettable, she couldn't quit for the rest of her life, and she didn't want to quit, she just wanted to hold his hand and go all the way until she was old.

The surging love made the heart completely paralyzed, and there was no way to even breathe. Therefore, Charlize could only hide in the bathroom in embarrassment and let all his emotions be completely released.

Hugo looked around, but still couldn't find Charlize, he wanted to break free and look for it, but Steven imprisoned him in place, because the best picture award was going to be awarded, and everyone stayed where they were waiting for the results to be revealed - all the efforts tonight depend on this moment.

Hugo saw that award presenter Harrison Ford had taken the stage, and he had to settle his mind for a moment and focus on tonight's finale.

At the end of the awards ceremony, the Oscars returned to their original trajectory in another incredible way: "Saving Private Ryan" led the way with five golden statues, and heavyweight awards such as Best Director and Best Film Editing made it the biggest favorite; "Shakespeare's Love History" followed with three trophies, but unfortunately, the heavyweight award was only Best Supporting Actress, and the advantage was greatly weakened; "Truman's World" came from behind, winning three statuettes including Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay, and became a contender for Best Picture that cannot be ignored.

Strictly speaking, the contenders for Best Picture are now between "Truman's World" and "Saving Private Ryan". The "thin red line" particles have not been collected and completely left behind, "Beautiful Life" has won the best foreign language film award, and "Shakespeare's Love History" has plummeted after a strong opening, and all important awards have been missed, basically declaring that it is no longer competitive.

As a result, the whole landscape is once again back to what it was before the awards season.

The epic of "Saving Private Ryan", with its magnificent scenes, profound connotations, human nature, and true cruelty, has been unanimously praised, and it can also be said to be one of the most aesthetic choices of the college; In addition to the small pattern of "Truman's World", it exposes the essence of social entertainment to death with sketch-style banter, and criticizes the whole society.

These two works are undoubtedly the highest level representatives of 1998 films, and the overall strength stands out. After the chaos of the awards season, the final showdown is back to these two titles. It was an unexpected but reasonable ending.

"Shakespeare's Love History" relied on the college public relations of the awards season and almost led most of the awards season, but it still failed at the last moment, and the obvious gap between comprehensive strength and absolute strength made it difficult for this work to get closer. It also reinforces the greatness and strength of the Weinstein brothers' work – but it is also a wake-up call that the Weinstein brothers' failures are becoming more and more embarrassing, and the "Wall Street-style" corruption and darkness are vividly displayed.

Harrison announced the final results tonight, "The winner of the 71st Academy Award for Best Picture is ...... 'Saving Private Ryan'!" ”

The audience applauded! And Steven was the first to give Hugo a big hug and said loudly in Hugo's ear, "Thank you!" Only the two of them know what this thank you means, and the deep meaning is almost enough to shake the entire Hollywood landscape, and the first year of the awards season has officially come to an end.

Historically, the first year of the awards season ended with the victory of "Shakespeare in Love", which has become a moment of repeated criticism for the next two decades, and even a moment of shame for the Oscars. Especially in the next ten years, the "Academy Public Relations" almost reduced the Oscars to a commercial performance, making people gradually lose confidence in the authority of the Oscars.

But today, the first year of the awards season gave a completely different but natural ending, and "Saving Private Ryan" won the Best Picture award, which made people convinced. Maybe this still can't change the encroachment of commercial interests on the Oscars, as if the arrival of the "Titanic" is irresistible, but at least, professionalism and authority still leave a clean place for the Oscars, just as "L.A. Confidential" and "Perfect" still retain a place for art films and independent films.

Hugo looked at Steven, who was excited like a child, standing in place but a little unable to come back to his senses, because there were so many variables tonight that they had almost become unrecognizable - this was almost completely different from the 71st Oscar in Hugo's memory, so Hugo couldn't help but question: Is all this just a dream? Because his little butterfly doesn't seem to have that much influence.

However, looking at Steven standing on the stage and giving his acceptance speech, people around him kept coming up to him to celebrate, and that sense of reality invaded. Hugo's chaotic brain realized that the butterfly effect had finally begun to exert its power.

Perhaps, Hugo's understanding of the butterfly effect was always wrong in the past, thinking that it was simply "a butterfly in the Amazon can cause a tsunami with a flap of its wings", but this is obviously not the case. After the butterfly flapps its wings, the chain reaction is a very long process, like dominoes, from the first block to the collapse of the whole building, it takes time. The resurgence of rock, the rise of cinema, the fulfillment of dreams...... All this is so.

After Hugo, the little butterfly, came to this time and space, it affected the course of history little by little, maybe it was just a millimeter of the wheel of history every time, but after accumulating a lot, quantitative change finally caused qualitative change. Thus, the rock 'n' roll faith began to take root again; As a result, behind the rise of commercial films, people still realize the importance of the essence of films; So, in the first year of the awards season, "Saving Private Ryan" announced that "good works are the only criterion for judging the Oscars", and in the face of absolute strength, any public relations and favors can only stand aside......

The butterfly effect was not until seven years later that the tsunami really set off.

And Hugo, the little butterfly, finally found his other half. Passing through the crowd, Hugo saw Charlize coming out of the bathroom, her eyes were slightly red, but her spirit seemed very good, the sight of the two people came into contact in the air through the huge crowd, as if the huge crowd in the middle did not exist at all, just a blurred halo, the two people were so far away, but so close to each other. The sight touched without warning, which made both of them stunned, and then, the smile on the corner of the mouth was gently outlined, faint and shallow, but so warm.
