Chapter 686: Rampage Hollywood
"How can you do this!?"
In the dormitory of Stanford University, Emily, who was watching the Oscars with Gianna, was stunned.
As a veteran movie fan who has been taken by her pit dad and has been watching horror movies since she was a child, Emily naturally knows that the previous Oscars have not been without mistakes.
- Although it is rare to take the wrong envelope and lose the little golden figure, it still happens occasionally that the award presenter pronounces the wrong name.
- Usually the Oscar organizers will immediately correct the situation so that the ceremony can go according to the process.
But what's going on today?
"Even if the envelope Charlize got is wrong, normally speaking, you should contact the staff to correct it first, instead of directly making the mistake wrong, right?"
Emily looked at Juliette Roberts, who also had a big mouth on the TV screen with a strange face, but she didn't expect the latter to stand up simply and walk directly onto the stage after being stunned for a while.
β...... Well, it's actually a lot of fun!"
Eventually, Emily couldn't help but laugh.
This is also happening in front of many television sets in North America and around the world.
- When many viewers were originally announced as the winner of Best Actor, Charlize was stunned by the fact that he directly read the name "Julia Roberts".
But after seeing the latter stunned for a moment, he went directly to the stage to accept the award, and everyone also reacted.
- Indeed, even if the envelope is given to the wrong person, it is not the name of Best Actor, but since the envelope is from PricewaterhouseCoopers, it must be the result of the other Oscar nominations!
And this Oscar, Julia Roberts can only win the Golden Man for Best Actress.
- In other words, the most valuable actress in Hollywood has finally become an Oscar-winning actress!?
Everyone who reacted immediately felt that the process of this announcement was very interesting, and hurriedly called friends to invite people to watch the award ceremony.
- After all, since the envelope was messed up and taken wrongly, there could not be only one wrong.
- At least, whose name will the best actress pronounce for a while......
"The 'Best Actress' wouldn't be Russell Crowe or Robert Downey Jr., right?"
Emily thought mischievously to herself, and suddenly thought it was very funny.
In fact, because of this mistake, many viewers' sense of expectation for the Oscars in the future suddenly became stronger.
In addition, the number of viewers of this Oscar, which was originally only 42 million, has soared to 50 million, and it seems that there are signs of continuing to climb.
This made the current Oscar jury president Frank Pierce happy.
- In the final analysis, the authority of the Oscars is closely related to the procedures that attract attention.
In particular, since James Cameron won the best director statuette in 1998 and was crowned the "king of the world", the ratings of the Oscars have been declining sharply.
Even last year, because of the accident of Charlize Theron "giving birth on the spot" after winning the title of actress, there was a rebound in the ratings, but that was only an individual case.
Of course, because among the Oscar nominees this year, whether it is the billion-dollar box office blockbuster "Sherlock Holmes" or the popular epic blockbuster "Gladiator", they are very popular with the audience, not the niche movies of the past.
Even Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has attracted a lot of attention because of its rare ancient Chinese style that can be generally accepted by North American audiences.
- In this case, the ratings of the 2001 Oscars were actually not low.
- Especially the Best Director nominations that were announced at the end, including Charlotte Booth and Ridley Scott, who are widely watched and have many fans of commercial film directors.
Frank Pierce feels that this year's Oscars have the potential to repeat the glorious peak of viewership at the 1998 Oscars.
However, he didn't expect this glory to reappear so early-
It was only because of a mistake by the staff that Charlize Theron took the wrong envelope, and the latter's improvisation, coupled with Julia Roberts's improvisation, directly created a peak of ratings.
"Don't rush to correct your mistakes just yet, just try to determine that the big puzzle of the best director can be revealed at the end, and let the stars improvise the rest!"
Frank Pierce gave new orders to his men who were thinking about how to correct their mistakes.
"Occasionally making some interesting mistakes like this should also make the Oscars more interesting - anyway, both the presenters and the winners are actors, so let them play well!"
ββAt this moment, Frank Pierce waved his hand, but his body was full of the style of the word "Lord".
However, Frank Pierce didn't know that he was now able to "wave his hand" in large part thanks to Charlotte's support.
- After all, the staff at the Oscars are not stupid, and if Charlotte hadn't deceived them with a spell and slowed them down by half a beat, how could they not have stopped Charlize?
Even Julia Roberts would come to the stage early to accept the award as if she were a part, in fact, because of this.
- Who let Oscar play this trick not once or twice?
- Since no staff came out to stop it, it means that this so-called "mistake" was either tacitly approved by the staff or arranged in advance.
- In this case, the stars just need to cooperate.
And when it comes to acting, it is not worth it to appear at the Oscars.
After all, the Oscars are an annual gathering of drama spirits!
Anyway, because of Ovilia's pranks, Charlize's improvisation, Charlotte's "help", and Julia Roberts' cooperation and Frank Pearce's acquiescence, the style of the Oscars has changed all of a sudden.
Take Julia Roberts, for example!
Although he was a little mentally unprepared because he accidentally learned that he had won the title of actress, when he walked to the stage, "Big Mouth" had already made a performance that lived up to the name of the actress-
As soon as she walked on the stage, she covered her mouth, looking like she wanted to vomit but couldn't.
"Are you alright?"
Charlize, who presented her with the award, could only ask with some concern.
"Don't worry!"
Roberts waved his hand,
"This is not morning sickness, I won't have to give birth halfway through receiving the award like the last actress!"
β......β
Whether in the Great Hall or in front of thousands of television screens, anyone who knows what happened when Charlize won the award last year couldn't help but laugh.
Even Charlize himself had a smile on his lips.
Of course, her counterattack also followed-
