Chapter 86: The Oscars (2)
Although it is different from the scene of the Oscars in later generations, there is no big screen and no modern equipment, but the awards ceremony in front of you is also formal and dazzling.
On the huge stage, the red carpet hit the ground, behind which is a high background board, which is printed with the words of the 13th Academy Awards, and a three-meter-high small golden man trophy model occupies the center of the stage, and dozens of lights are projected on it, reflecting the golden brilliance.
The venue was crowded with people, all dressed up seriously, walking around each other, or shaking hands, or hooking shoulders, or whispering, or talking about love, anyway, it was very lively.
Compared with the bustle on the other side, Victor's side is much more deserted, a group of people sit there, no one cares, not to mention, even the waiters who drink don't come to this side.
"The gap." Leo scolded: "Dogs look down on people! ”
"Victor, come on!" While Victor was closing his eyes and recuperating, Grant walked over: "Let's go, let's talk over there." ”
Victor couldn't shirk it, and led everyone to follow Grant to the front row, where it was already chirping.
As a Hollywood market, Grant has a high prestige in Hollywood, so many people come to say hello.
Watching Victor come over, the celebrities behaved very differently.
Chaplin, Fox and others sneered, while Laimer and others smiled.
"You're here too? Hehe, I'd like to see how many trophies you can lift. Laimer gave Victor a strong hug.
"Heh, it's good to meet one, that's just a nomination, not a real thing." Fox sneered.
"Victor is right, hehe, the young man is good, although the content of that movie is not very good, but the box office is okay." Adolf Chuck is lukewarm.
"If you have the opportunity, you can cooperate and cooperate, we have funds here, and you can find me if you have a script." Sam Warner, the head of Warner Bros., pulled Victor and whispered.
This guy completely sees Victor as a script seller.
"Movies are movies, not opportunisms." The obese Alfred Hitchcock looked at Victor and shook his head: "It's better for young people to be down-to-earth." ”
"That's right." Chaplin helped.
Victor was in charge of the gang at all.
However, the stars at the scene were very interested in Victor.
Among these stars, male stars are relatively more interested in Victor.
Among the gang, Clark Gable is clearly the star of the stars, the Hollywood king, dressed in a black suit, with a red American pin on his chest, a wisp of mustache, and a smile and a smile, full of irresistible charm.
"Victor, long time no see." Gabriel pulls Victor and introduces him to his friends.
Gable is very popular in Hollywood, and is close friends with many stars, such as Gary Gratt, Henry Fonda, James Stewart, etc., these glorious things in film history obviously make Victor quite eye-catching.
In addition to greetings, a group of people naturally talked about "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", and for this movie, and those directors and film critics have distinct thoughts, Victor found that most of these stars are quite fond of it.
"The two characters in this movie are set up very distinctively and full of personality."
"I like the scene scheduling in it, the kind of naturalness, the tension of the rhythm, I don't say it."
"Victor, if there is a work in the future, can you show it to me?"
……
In the face of these praises, Victor smiled silently.
This is so lively, naturally it has also attracted the attention of many female stars, among these people, the infinite scenery is obviously Vivien Leigh and Garbo, these two Hollywood queens, the former is purple with "Gone with the Wind", and the latter is a veteran sister in Hollywood.
Compared to Vivien Leigh and Garbo, Bergman was much more low-key, sitting in a chair in a short black dress and whispering to Laimer.
"I heard you poached my Bergman?" Laimer seems to know about Bergman's participation in the filming of "No Country for Old Men", but acts happily.
"What's wrong? Can't you? I'm just borrowing it. Carl, Bergman is a good actor and will become a superstar sooner or later. Victor laughed.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her for you." Laimer laughed wickedly.
"Don't talk nonsense. By the way, after this movie comes out, I hope that all of you Universal Pictures will open your theaters this time. Victor said.
"Needless to say, unless I can't get along with money. This time, if I like this movie, all of Universal's theaters will be open to you. Laimer laughed, and then, the guy poked Victor: "I heard that you hooked up with Lei's phone?" Okay boy. ”
"Who did you listen to?" Victor couldn't help but be surprised.
"I went to Lei Dianhua a few days ago to talk about things, and I ran into Oxun." Laimer shrugged: "That guy and I kind of have a good relationship. ”
"We can talk about this in detail later, and I think we can even find opportunities to cooperate."
"Just what I want." Laimer and Victor hit it off.
The two of them were talking when they heard a piece of music in the room, and then the crowd fell silent and sat back down.
"Grandma, this is about to begin." Nicholas was very familiar with this kind of scene, and looked at the stage with a lot of emotion.
Amidst applause, the host took the stage.
Host Walter Wanger, the most hilarious announcer in the United States, is widely popular and has a hip-hop and funny hosting style.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the annual Oscars. This year, I saw many old faces, as well as many new ones. At the annual event, things are not people, the little girl has become an old woman, and the light and shadow are still there. Walter's words caused a lot of laughter.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, the 13th Academy Awards has officially begun. Before we started, a veteran fan sent us a greeting. Walter turned, and a large screen behind him was stretched out, and then a projection of images appeared on the screen.
When the face of a man in a wheelchair appeared on the screen, the entire venue stood up and applauded.
Because this veteran fan on the screen is none other than the current President of the United States, Roosevelt!
The president, who is deeply loved by Americans, spoke in less than 10 minutes, praised Hollywood and Hollywood filmmakers, congratulated the opening of this year's Oscars, and hoped that all filmmakers would make persistent efforts to make films that reflect American culture and American spirit!
"I want to say that this year's movies are wonderful, and as a casual viewer, I love the images that are very warm, because God loves us, and warmth is the most precious thing in this world, and nothing else. Just like Leon did in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", no matter who it is, as long as there is hope and light in memory, it can come out of the darkness. It's the best of times, and it's the worst of times, God bless America! ”
After President Roosevelt's speech, accompanied by Beethoven's Symphony of Fate, the award ceremony officially began!
Everyone's eyes were focused on the huge little golden figure in the venue.
Whoever can have the last laugh will be revealed right away.
