Chapter 502: Sleepless Tonight

Ten minutes have passed, Roger? Albert didn't know how he survived, he almost used all his strength to control the idea of jumping over and smashing the big screen opposite, and sat calmly in front of the live camera.

But he stopped talking, leaving his partner Ropee there alone.

Luo Pei is a very competent host, constantly using words to arouse the interest of the audience and guide them to continue to follow the award ceremony.

The number of viewers is directly related to the advertising fee of his ABC TV station at the next Oscars.

Roger next to him? Albert is a little strange, but Ropee doesn't have the time and energy to care about him, Duke in the Kodak Theater? Rosenberg is far more important than him, and he is more concerned with his own job.

"As everyone expected, Duke? Rosenberg won the Best Director at this year's Oscars, which is well deserved, and it can also be called a return of the king......"

Hear the constant praise from his partner, Roger? Albert felt the urge to take off his shoes and shove them into his mouth.

Fortunately, Luo Pei didn't say a few words and stopped, because the award for Best Picture was about to start!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Steven, please? Spielberg. ”

Billy? Christo retreats to the corner of the stage, Spielberg quickly walks to the microphone, and the old Jewish man will award the best film!

"People always say that the best picture is saved for the last minute, it's the sum of all the elements of the film, and the end of a journey always starts with a dream......"

The old man didn't seem to want to make people wait, and spoke quickly, "This year these dreams have been stirred up by the Lord of the Rings trilogy, based on Tolkien's novels, and by the spectacular novels adapted from Aubrey and Mathurin......"

The crosstalk was finished by him in a few short sentences, and then introduced. "Here are the Best Picture finalists – Lost in Translation, Rose? Kaz and Sophia? Coppola; Catherine in "The Pentium Age"? Kennedy and Frank? Marshall; "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" Charles? Rowan and Duke? Rosenberg; "Mystic River" Clint? Eastwood and Robert? Lorentz; "The Raging Sea" Harvey? Weinstein and Dukan? Henderson. ”

Spielberg opened the envelope and read out the answer without surprise, "The winner is Charles of the Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King?" Rowan and Duke? Rosenberg! ”

Because the live TV was switched to the Kodak Theater, the atmosphere in the ABC live broadcast room was a little more relaxed, but that didn't include Roger? Albert. The famous film critic stared straight at the big screen across from him, looking like a misshapen goldfish.

In the live broadcast room, some people are touching up their makeup, some people are checking their equipment, and they are all preparing for the live commentary after the awards ceremony.

Roger? Albert's face was getting redder and redder, the green tendons in the corners of his forehead were beating rapidly at small and high frequencies, and he faintly heard a lot of discussions.

"One Oscar, twelve statuettes, Duke? Rosenberg set a record! ”

"So many people looked down on him before. Now there's nothing more to say. ”

Luo Pei next to him is also hurrying to read the lines of the next stage, which is the plan A of the live broadcast of ABC TV, which means that ABC TV also thinks that Duke? Rosenberg and "The Return of the King" will win big at the awards ceremony.

"The king is coming to the Oscars, Duke? Rosenberg's 12-year path to godhood......"

Hear Rope's low reading voice, Roger? Albert suddenly had the idea that they were all traitors! The world has all betrayed him!

ABC Television, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Media and the Public. All a bunch of shameful traitors!

By Roger? The anger that Albert had suppressed in his heart all exploded at this moment. The veteran film critic's face was as if he was drunk, and he seemed to be dripping blood.

Next moment, Roger? Albert also felt drunken dizziness, and the person opposite him suddenly became two, and his figure became more and more blurred. Even if they are only four feet apart, they can't see each other's faces clearly......

In the meantime, Roger? There was a strange noise in Albert's head, as if something had broken, and his blurred vision suddenly turned to darkness. The whole person tilted to the side.

"Mr. Albert!"

Is this Roger? The last thing Albert heard tonight, "Call the doctor, call the ambulance!" ”

In the Kodak Theater, Duke re-entered the stage, he looked at where the Lord of the Rings crew was sitting, and frequently waved to the members of the team, signaling them all to come up, Charles? After Rowan stood up, he was doing the same job.

According to the Oscars, there are only two places for producers to receive awards on behalf of the crew, but the best picture is awarded neither the director nor a producer, but everyone who participated in the production of the film!

This is a team award!

Why does this award always come as a finale? Because movies are never the result of one person's efforts, but the fruit of a huge team working together!

Charles? Rowan, Anna? Prinz, Hannah? Serena, John? Schwartzman, Mike? Dawson, Elijah? Wood, Vigo? Mortenson, Orlando? Bloom, Billy? Boyd and Ian? McLean and more than a dozen other crew members all stepped onto the stage to accept the award!

Even though the film didn't win any acting awards, or even a single acting award nomination, this is a deserved honor for everyone!

Everyone contributed to the success of this trilogy during the filming process!

The two statuettes representing the best picture were handed over by Spielberg to Duke and Charles respectively? In Rowan's hands, Duke just said 'thank you all' and gave up the place to Charles? Rowan.

"It's a great honor to stand here, I got into this business 35 years ago, starting with bringing coffee to the director."

The veteran producer was not short of humor, and deliberately glanced at Duke, then turned to tonight's host, "I think it was my date with Billy Christo's cousin many years ago that made me win today......

The theater erupted in laughter, Charles? Rowan obviously knows how to stir up the atmosphere better than Duke, who has basically no humor cells.

On the other side, Billy? Christo was also quite cooperative, shrugging his shoulders and making a very innocent expression.

Joke time is over, Charles? Rowan continued, "It's great to work with a great team, and I'm very excited to be working with such a great director as Duke, to be nominated along with four other films, and to finally win after so many years, it's a real surprise to all of us. ”

"This film is a great thank you to all the actors and crew who were in front of the camera, and I want to give special thanks to my partners, Warner Bros. and Duke's Studios. My beautiful daughter, Danielle, and my 87-year-old father, were waiting in the back to celebrate with us. I would like to thank Tolkien and the fans who supported us, and Doug? Walter and Jeff? Robinov, their efforts allowed us to shoot this film. ”

He turned to look at Duke, "Finally, Duke?" Director Rosenberg, he was never 100 percent satisfied, he was always 110 percent satisfied, he inspired all of us to do his best to make these films and bring them to the screen! ”

The awards ceremony came to the end, the backstage door was opened, and all the winners who won the little golden man tonight walked onto the stage, and the 76th Academy Awards came to an end.

The awards ceremony is over, but for Duke, the Oscars are far from the end of the moment, from the beginning of his backstage, he has become the target of the media and reporters, and one person has even overpowered Sean? Pan and Charlize? Theron two.

Duke is well aware, and no wonder these journalists are so excited, past best director and best picture winners often face an embarrassing problem, they do win awards, but the real impact of the award-winning works is not great.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is different, "The Fellowship of the Ring", "The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King" have exceeded $4 billion at the global box office, not only winning the Oscars, but also winning a record twelve statuettes.

How could the man who single-handedly created this miracle not be welcomed by the media?

Not to mention the traditional media, which is relatively slow to respond, the relevant comments on the Internet have already opened the pot at the moment of the end of the award ceremony.

Norman? Miller turned off the TV and focused all his energy on the Internet, using his instant share account to quickly type out a sentence.

"Great! Great victory! Congratulations to Duke and congratulations to the Lord of the Rings trilogy! ”

He then proceeded to the front page of the instant sharing site, which was almost flooded with comments related to the Oscars.

"After twelve years of waiting, Duke has ushered in the greatest victory!"

"This is a time that you can play with Titanic and James? A great feat that Cameron is on par with! ”

"Twelve nominations, twelve golden figures, 100 percent winning rate, except for our Duke? Rosenberg, who else can do that? ”

"Celebrate, guys! Celebrate our Lord of the Rings and toast to our favorite Duke! No sleep tonight, no one will sleep tonight, no one will sleep tonight! ”

Turn off the computer, Norman? Miller puts on a coat and heads to the nearest movie-themed bar to his home, where he's going to join in the party until dawn!

For many of those who came, it was indeed a sleepless night.

The emergency room of the University of California School of Medicine was pushed open and a doctor strode out. Albert's agent hurried to meet him.

"Mr. Albert is out of danger."

Hearing this, the agent breathed a sigh of relief, but the doctor then said, "In view of Mr. Albert's physical condition, I personally recommend not working again in the short term, it is better to ......"

He hesitated slightly, but said, "It's better to retire and find a quiet place to keep your emotions calm and recuperate for a long time." (To be continued......)
