Chapter 904: Praise
Song Ya got up, and when she was tidying up her dress, her shoulders and back were slapped and pushed by the three overly excited screenwriters, but she still bent down to hug Johnny Carson first, and used the handshake to make the old man stand up with his strength, and finally turned around to hug and shake hands with the people around him to celebrate.
The undulating applause could only have been for Johnny Carson, and Song Ya reminded him to watch the steps and followed the seventy-something former talk king all the way to the podium.
"Congratulations, Johnny, congratulations ......"
When presenter Anthony Hopkins shook hands with the five in turn, screenwriter Kunes behaved a little out of shape, and he whined and screamed a few times into the podium microphone.
Song Yacai will not be like this, he has participated in various award ceremonies many times, and he has also held concerts for 10,000 people, or because of the stage setting, the podium is located on the side, which makes him unable to see the expressions of most people in the audience, it is more relaxed, he took over the 'little golden man' that was just awarded to Johnny Carson by Anthony Hopkins, which is the common name of the Academy Award trophy.
The four-kilogram trophy was a bit unexpectedly heavy, and he held it up to show off to the audience, then passed it to Kunes, who was also responsible for retrieving it from their overexcited hands and returning it to Johnny Carson.
"Thank you, thank you." Johnny Carson casually rested the trophy on the podium and propped his hands on the small table, ready to give his acceptance speech.
The applause from the audience reached its peak at this moment, and Song Ya and the other three stood behind the old man with their arms around their shoulders.
"Thank you......"
Johnny Carson smiled and waited for the applause to end, but it didn't work out, and the cheers never seemed to stop, and some whistled.
“Shut up!”
The old man suddenly straightened his face and scolded the audience very unceremoniously.
Song Ya and the actor Anthony Hopkins who was standing on the side immediately fell into flames, there was a dead silence on and off the stage, the word shut up should not appear in the current occasion, it is too offensive, and ABC is broadcasting live nationally and even globally.
This old man......
Song Ya was afraid that he would make some big news when he won the first rice film award.
"Hehe......" The old man suddenly laughed again, with a look of smugness that I had played you all.
The audience erupted in even louder laughter.
The smile on the old man's face disappeared in an instant, "Here are the night shift hours......
The king of late-night entertainment is old and old, but his ability to make jokes has not diminished, and he immediately took another pun.
On the one hand, 'Night Shift' is a domineering highlight of his glorious past as the host of the Tonight Show on NBC and the king of talk shows in the United States, and on the other hand, echoes the documentary 'The Late', which aired on HBO this year Shift', which details the details of the fierce competition between the two tonight show host candidates David Lightman and Jay Leno when he retired, he wanted David Lightman to succeed him, but in the end it ended with Jay Leno winning on NBC and David Lightman leaving CBS to open a new talk show.
"Hahaha!"
I don't know if the people in the film industry in the audience understand all the stalks in this sentence, in short, just laugh out loud right away, don't let people see that they don't understand, they can't react slowly, they will be laughed at by the audience watching the live broadcast.
And when the old man said this, it meant that he had entered the talk show time, and he had to laugh out of politeness.
"Oh yes." The old man looked back at the people behind him, "Speaking of which, did you see David tonight?" Well? Is he coming? ”
This is another joke with a stalk, echoing the previous sentence, on the surface asking David Lightman if he was there, but in fact, all Hollywood knows that David Lightman is the host of last year's Oscars, and he was scolded for his poor performance, otherwise he would not have hosted one session and replaced it with this year's Whoopi Goldberg, how could he still have a face.
This time, the Hollywood people really understood it all, and they couldn't help it.
"David? NO! Wasn't he fired?! Song Ya, who was in charge of picking up the stalks, also switched back to the silly street boy image in the first part of my life, and answered with facial paralysis acting skills and a black voice.
There are also two meanings, David Letterman's defeat to NBC, and his abandonment by the Oscars.
"Hahaha!"
And in view of Johnny Carson's bad interpersonal relationship, David Lightman is one of his few sworn friends in the circle, Johnny Carson discovered him with one hand, pulled him with the other, and was still firmly supporting him before retirement.
"Hahahaha!"
Some of the Oscar jury members and ABC bigwigs in the front row even leaned forward and backwards in their seats with laughter.
"Really?"
Johnny Carson found the live camera and looked directly into his eyes, "David, don't worry, you have my back." Still echoing the above meme, and self-deprecating that even with his support did not prevent David Lightman's failure at NBC and the loss of influence after his own retirement.
"Hahaha!" The audience laughed again.
The British talk show is like this, if you don't understand some stalks in that culture, it really feels like it sounds cloudy, so boring that it doesn't even count as a cold joke, but if you really understand, it's still very fun.
"Remember the seventies......" The old man finally let David Letterman go, telling a 'conventional' joke that has nothing to do with Oscar history.
Song Ya also cooperated well and praised again, guarding the old man from the stage in the warm standing applause of the audience.
Later, Christopher Reef, who was paralyzed by a horseback riding accident last year, was pushed onto the stage in a wheelchair and received a standing salute from the audience, and he hosted a short film about social issues.
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
The old man had just sat down and had to stand up, he was indeed a little tired, and he shouldn't be so energetic for a multimillionaire like him at the age of seventy, but he couldn't help it, he suffered from a variety of chronic diseases.
"I'll help me get the little gold man APLUS later, and I'm going to take it back and put it on the fireplace at home." He confessed.
"No problem."
Now the Oscar statuette is still bare, and only one is not enough points, and when the award ceremony is over, it will be returned to the organizing committee, and the craftsman who goes to the service area will receive a real trophy embedded with the name of the award and the name of the winner.
In the second half of the awards ceremony, Braveheart won a big victory, and Mel Gibson, who wrote, directed and acted in Hollywood, won the two most important awards for Best Director and Best Picture.
In addition, they also won awards for Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing, and Best Makeup.
The intellectual and emotional drama in Eight Mentions is a stepping stone for everyone, and the tragedy is comparable to that of himself and Mariah Carey in the Nine Mentions of Zeros on the Grammys, no, it may be even worse, after all, such a large crew, it is difficult for Director An Lee, who has always shown an elegant and easygoing appearance, to laugh at the scene.
