The 72nd Academy Awards is a gala of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that honors the best films of 1999.

On March 26, 2000 at 17:30 p.m., it was held at the Temple Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.

The scene can be described as star-studded.

Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Denzel Washington, Sean Penn, Annette Bening, Julianne Moore......

The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful......

Qing Zhiyuan sat in the elongated Lincoln, waiting for his appearance, while silently watching these strange and familiar faces step on the red carpet, he was still very excited in his heart.

There are some bigwigs who are evergreens in the film industry, even if they are still active on the screen in his previous life, such as Denzel Washington, and Sean Penn......

But comparatively speaking, the shelf life of female stars is much shorter than that of male stars, like Annette Bening, Julianne Moore...... These names basically disappeared in the long history of the movie, and by the time Qing Zhiyuan grew up to become an adult, they were basically no longer visible.

Finally walked past a familiar face of Qing Zhiyuan, and Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but light up.

This year, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman have not yet divorced, and when they appeared on the red carpet, all eyes were on them.

Tom Cruise can be called the most perfect face in Hollywood, in his previous life, when Qing Zhiyuan was studying Western art history in college, his teachers used him as an example to say that Tom Cruise's face is the most in line with the golden ratio.

However, when Qing Zhiyuan used the Fibonacci sequence in writing code, that is, the golden section sequence, and found that sunflowers were the most perfect golden ratio face, he couldn't bear to look directly at Tom.

Although the calculation of the golden ratio of the two is different, it really makes Qing Zhiyuan feel extremely funny.

Brother Tom is wearing a black suit today, his turquoise eyes are deep and charming, he hangs down with one hand at his side, and the other hand supports his wife's waist, and Nicole Kidman, who is standing next to Tom, is wearing a golden backless evening dress, which looks dazzling.

Especially the cold white skin, which is really white to glow.

It even made Qing Zhiyuan feel uncomfortable, and he always felt that this level of whiteness had reached the edge of the corpse.

And Nicole is really beautiful, and she is also really thin.

The height of 180 is already very scary, and he has to step on a pair of hating sky-high, and directly compare Brother Tom next to him, almost a head taller.

Qing Zhiyuan's height of 178 is almost the same as looking up at Nicole.

……

……

As the time progressed, the guests also followed in pairs with each other.

In the back, Qing Zhiyuan also saw his beloved Keanu Reeves, and the sister who was holding his hand next to him......

Qing Zhiyuan felt a little familiar at first, and took a closer look-

it, isn't this Theron?

Charlize Theron, known as the Emperor, is best known for starring with Will Smith in "Superman for All" and the "Mad Max" series, and of course she is best remembered for her advertising for Dior perfume:

In the luxurious pools of the Roman Empire, all kinds of beautiful women lay or sit on their backs, and in the middle of the pool, Theron was half-sided, his wet hair hung down on his neck, and then walked out of the pool......

It's like a hibiscus out of the water.

Paired with luxurious glittering costumes and necklaces, Theron has a queen-level aura and temperament, with long legs of one meter eight and an aura of more than three meters high, the advertisement is simply amazing.

However, Qing Zhiyuan didn't recognize it too much at first because the current Theron was still a little baby fat, and even the feeling of being a little girl next door was so lost, compared to the woman with a strong aura later, it was like two people.

Theron, who was born in 1975, is only 25 years old now, and he has not been in Hollywood for a few years.

Keanu Reeves saw Qing Zhiyuan and greeted him warmly.

Seriously, if it weren't for Qing Zhiyuan, his popularity would not have risen to this level.

The reason why Charlize Theron walked the red carpet with Keanu Reeves was mainly because they starred together in a movie called "Devil's Advocate" in 97

In this movie, the goddess also has a scene of real detachment.

Qing Zhiyuan was very impressed, mainly because Theron always gave people a glamorous and royal impression, he must be very fierce, who knew that after watching "Devil's Spokesman", he found out that Emperor Syron was a small tablet.

This strong contrast is really memorable.

Then, this year, Keanu Reeves and Theron also have award activities, which can be regarded as having a task.

"Is this your boss?" Theron asked with a smile in Keanu Reeves' ear.

"Yes, don't underestimate him, he seems to be not tall and weak, but he is very rich and has a lot of ideas."

"Wow, is it so staked?"

Theron smiled at Qing Zhiyuan as he spoke, and before he could react, he followed Keanu Reeves to the signature board.

……

Seriously, if it was the little program ape in his previous life, Qing Zhiyuan would probably be startled by this scene, or he would be overjoyed for a long time when he got a smile from Theron.

However, in this timeline, Qing Zhiyuan said that he has seen too many celebrities, and he is even a little immune to celebrities.

Good looking is good-looking, but he also stays at the level of appreciation.

Even Qing Zhiyuan's mind is not thinking about what lace activities to do with female stars, but thinking about what kind of movies they can shoot for themselves in the future.

Qing Zhiyuan's brain has almost combined Mad Max with the performance of the game several times.

Now he's totally a dominator's mentality.

Having money really allows you to do whatever you want.

Especially in a country like the United States, where money is paramount.

Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan first smiled, and then the whole person suddenly came to his senses.

Ah.

Inflated, inflated, inflated.

People, you can't do whatever you want just because you have money, even if you can really do it, you must keep a humble heart.

"What do you think?"

At this moment, the car door in front of Qing Zhiyuan opened, and the person behind him pushed him.

Qing Zhiyuan almost stumbled and fell and ate, but fortunately, his movements were agile and his sense of balance was super strong, and he immediately stabilized.

He turned his head a little angrily and looked at the somewhat naughty guy in the car.

Fumie Hitotsubashi smiled and stuck out her tongue, "I'm sorry...... It's time for us, and I don't even know you want to be so focused. ”

Never mind......

Qing Zhiyuan still reached out gentlemanly and gently held her wrist to get out of the car.

Hitotsubashi is also the chief producer of "The Matrix", and gently took Qing Zhiyuan's hand and stepped onto the red carpet.

The two rows of reporters around him immediately turned on flash mode.

Click......

Click......

Qing Zhiyuan only felt dizzy in his head, and there was white light in front of him.

……

The two men walked to the signature board in front of them, then turned around and greeted the crowd, posing in different ways at the invitation of the reporters.

Seriously, if it weren't for the curiosity of the Oscars, who had never participated in the live Oscar, Qing Zhiyuan said that he would not come here to suffer this crime at all.

But......

It's really weird, in my previous life, my father was holding Liu Tianxian's hand and walking the red carpet, why did I have to go with the producer?

Shouldn't it be me with Angelina Jolie?

Seeing Qing Zhiyuan's somewhat disgusted eyes, Hitotsubashi Wene poked him silently.

"Qingsang, I know all the bad things you want."

"Huh? Are you a youkai? ”

"Hmph, I'm probably stronger than a youkai."

The two of them were smiling and taking pictures while arguing like elementary school students.

However, the atmosphere was very cheerful.

After taking the photo, Qing Zhiyuan picked up the marker from the side and found a gap on the big signature board to write his name:

Qing Zhiyuan.

It's still written in Chinese.

However, after writing Chinese, he thought for two seconds and wrote a big [QING] underneath

Seeing the English he wrote, Hitotsubashi Wene was a little puzzled, "Qingsang, is your English name so strange?" ”

Although there are 4 more letters, it is pronounced as a syllable.

But according to the Japanese pronunciation, it should also be written AO.

"Well, that's my English name."

"Let's go." Qing Zhiyuan didn't give her time to think about it, and went into the auditorium with a bridge of Wene.

……

After entering the auditorium, everyone had their corresponding seats, and Qing Zhiyuan was arranged in the front position, but it was not the first three rows.

As the guests continued to enter, the auditorium became full.

As time progressed, the 72nd Academy ceremony officially began.

Actor Billy Crystal is the host for the 7th time.

This time, the Oscars were huge, and the awards ceremony was broadcast live by ABC in the United States, attracting a total of about 47 million viewers in North America.

This is in stark contrast to the future of just over 7 million viewers.

Billy Crystal was picked up on stage by a traffic policeman at the beginning, which immediately caused everyone at the scene to burst into laughter.

"Sorry, it's too congested on the road, what's the name of the kind? Thank you Mr. Police Officer for sending me here. ”

There was another laugh below.

Billy Crystal affectionately used opera singing to express the grandeur and liveliness of the live ceremony, and many stars and directors were also ridiculed by him, which caused everyone to laugh for a while.

The entire Oscar ceremony lasted about 3 hours, but when he actually sat in the scene, Qing Zhiyuan realized that time passed faster than he imagined.

Basically, in the gags of the host and award presenters, and the ridicule with the stars and directors, time passed.

And the frequency of awards is also quite fast.

After all, 23 awards have to be awarded in one night, and 4 to 5 candidates have to be nominated for each award, that is, the introduction time left for each film or character is actually quite short, so the pace for Qing Zhiyuan is quite fast.

It began with the award of the best foreign language film, with Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz announcing the nominations and winners.

In the end, the best foreign language film went to "About My Mother".

After that, there are several costume design awards and an introduction to montage, and then we arrive at the first and most valuable and anticipated award that will be presented tonight.

Best Picture Award.

The guest of honor, Cameron, was invited to the stage.

"Everyone knows that I like to try new movies, especially science fiction movies." Cameron approached the microphone with a smile and said, "Until now, the Titanic I photographed is still at the top of the list at a cost of 200 million US dollars, and I was scolded by the investors at that time."

Cameron, you mess with money.

Or was he scolded by other peers, Cameron, you spend so much money on making movies, how can you make science fiction movies in the future? ”

Cameron said this, spreading his hands, "But I'm sorry, it's your business how to shoot, I'm only responsible for making the movie well." ”

The audience burst into laughter.

"Of course, the quality of a movie has nothing to do with how much money it costs."

Cameron cleared his throat and said with a smile, "I actually admire the movie "The Matrix", it is really amazing to be able to spend 150 million to shoot such a sci-fi and bold and avant-garde movie." ”

"The Matrix is a very good movie that I wanted to shoot but was robbed of by Nolan in the end."

Speaking of which, the camera is given to Nolan.

Nolan just smirked at the camera, and then pretended to be fierce, as if to say that although I was young, I was not afraid at all.

"The Matrix, the movie that spent the most money after Titanic, is unfortunately not nominated for Best Picture." Cameron was telling the truth, but half-jokingly laughed and said, "I think maybe it's because the director isn't Cameron, right?" ”

The camera was given to Qing Zhiyuan and Ichitsubashi Wene, and Qing Zhiyuan didn't react yet, but Ichibashi Wene raised a small fist at the camera.

The scene was full of laughter again.

"I'm sorry Nolan, I'm not saying you're not good enough, you're good, but maybe I have a higher chance of winning a prize when I come to shoot."

The scene was full of laughter again.

"Okay, just kidding." Cameron fanned his hand with his hand, indicating that he would go with the wind.

Here's a look at the Oscar nominees for Best Picture:

"The Beauty of the United States" ......"

……

In the end, the winner of the best picture was "The Beauty of the United States"

It's a pity that "The Matrix" not only did not get the Best Picture nomination, but also did not even have the nominations for Best Actor and Actress and Supporting Actor, and there was no Best Screenplay that Qing Zhiyuan felt was very promising, and the Best Director naturally fell directly.

Nolan is still too young after all, although he has a lot of wonderful camera performances in The Matrix, but at this time this year, Nolan still seems to be a long way from the Oscar for Best Director.

However, the Matrix eventually won four awards, namely:

Best sound

Best Movie Clips

Best sound clips

Best visuals

In particular, the best visual effects can be said to be well deserved, and there are no competitors who can beat them in the scene.

The Matrix's special effects are far ahead, and they are the kind of sci-fi movies that can clearly feel the gap as soon as you look at it.

In the scene, when the special effects fight scenes in The Matrix were played on the big screen, even the actors and producers who had watched it countless times still expressed their admiration.

"It's amazing, I don't even know how to shoot the special effects shots of the Matrix."

And in the face of everyone's amazement, Nolan did not forget to joke at the right time, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you." ”

The whole scene was filled with laughter and laughter.

……

Although the four awards won are not as high as the best picture and the best actor and actress, Qing Zhiyuan is also quite satisfied.

The Matrix was the second-most award-winning film of all last year's films, behind only the first-place "Rice Beauty"

After the ceremony, although everyone did not say it explicitly, everyone knew that "The Matrix" was the most memorable movie.

……

"Come on next year and strive to win more awards next time."
