Chapter 1536 Five to Two
Although the audience of Xiaguo is not very familiar with Billy Christo, this is his ninth time hosting the Oscars. This guy is indeed a joke master. His opening remarks made the audience burst into laughter.
At the end of the conversation, Christo even started singing an opera.
“Tonight is Oscar Night,
Oscars, Oscars, who will be the winner?”
Next, he introduced all nine nominated films one by one by singing, and the first one to appear was "Artist".
“…He can’t speak, don’t ask him,
He acted in a silent film and would not answer any questions.
But if the flowers fall into "The Artist", he will only say, "You're going to drive the chickens!"
This guy actually used an accent... and the camera happened to sweep Li Rui's face at that time, which was a disaster.
Li Rui is used to the jokes of Chinese people. As long as he is stronger, he should not take it seriously. Otherwise, what else can he do? Should he go on stage and slap the host?
After a wonderful and humorous performance, Christo welcomed the first award presenter, two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks, the well-known Forrest Gump!
Tom Hanks is also an actor that Li Rui admires quite a lot, and of course Li Rui admires the performances of the actresses even more...
The first award was "Best Photography". "Artist" was also nominated, and everyone in the crew was a little nervous.
Li Rui doesn't remember how many awards "Artist" won in this year, and he doesn't care about other awards besides the best film. As an investor, the only one that gives him the chance to get to the podium is the best film.
Of course, Li Rui didn't mind mentioning his name a few more times, so he still expressed his due respect for the award.
The competition for the first award is very fierce. In addition to "Artist", there are also nominations such as "Hugo", "Girl with Dragon Tattoo", "Tree of Life" and "War Horse", which are not small.
After introducing five shortlisted works, Hanks opened the envelope, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "The one who won the Oscar for Best Photography..."
He deliberately extended the tone and sucked everyone's appetite before he slowly said: "Hugo, Robert Richardson!"
The audience was applauding thunderously, and everyone in the "Hugo" crew expressed their congratulations to the photographer with long silver hair.
"The Artist" was a little disappointed, and the director comforted the photographer and said, "Kirom, you are the best!"
The photographer forced a smile and how many opportunities can he have to be shortlisted for the Oscar in his life? If he missed it once, he might be missing it for life.
Next is the Best Art Direction Award, and surprisingly, Hugo won the award again!
Harvey, who was sitting in the front row of Li Rui, turned around and smiled: "Li, I have recommended "Hugo" to you, but unfortunately you are not interested."
Li Rui smiled and said, "It's too late for me to regret it now."
But I thought to myself: What's the use of winning a hundred awards? Which audience member entered the cinema because a movie won the awards such as Best Photography or Best Art Direction?
Li Rui's investment idea is very simple, either the box office is high or the award is great. For example, although "Too Hug" cannot win the award, but can break the box office record, you must invest. For example, "Artist", although the box office is bad, you can also win the Oscar for the best film.
There must be one for fame and fortune anyway.
After winning two awards in a row, the crew of "Hugo" was filled with joy, and they were full of momentum to take advantage of the victory and win all of them.
"The Artist" looks like she keeps a polite smile, but she is actually a little panicked. Director Azana Maintenance whispered to Harvey: "My heart seems to be popping out."
Harvey smiled and said, "Calm down, my friend, God will not let a person enjoy a gift."
After a simple break, the awards will continue.
The next two award presenters lit up everyone's eyes.
Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez appeared together, one was so sweet and the other was so spicy that they were shining. They stood in the center of the stage, under the spotlight, so beautiful that they couldn't move their eyes away.
The awards of two big beauties are naturally related to beauty.
The Best Clothing Design Award is also very fierce.
Many eyes were turned to the crew of "Hugo" and wanted to know if they would win three times.
But when Cameron Diaz took out the result from the envelope, he said the name that the crew of "The Artist" has been looking forward to.
"Mark Bridges, "The Artist"!"
"Wow!" Everyone applauded.
The Artist, which won ten nominations, finally won their first Oscar.
Next is still an award related to beauty, the Best Makeup Award...
Awards after awards are awarded, each with its own victory or defeat.
The biggest winners are undoubtedly "Artist" and "Hugo", which are far ahead of other movies.
"Artist" has just won a championship, and "Hugo" won the Best Visual Effects Award again. "Artist" stubbornly caught up with the best original soundtrack, and "Hugo" won the Best Sound Effects and Best Sound Effects Editing in a row...
When the technical award was awarded, Hugo temporarily took the lead with a 5:2 advantage.
Another break, Azana Maintenance said dejectedly: "Maybe we have no hope..."
Even the Internet is full of the same discussion. Seeing that "Hugo" won five awards in a row, many people think that this year will be the year of "Hugo".
On Twitter, Mr. Martin's fans cheered.
【Who would vote for a sleepy black and white movie? No sound yet?】
[I suspect that "Artist" is a performance art. Such a black and white silent film appeared at the 2012 Academy Awards Ceremony, which is very comic!]
[If someone had fallen into a coma in 1930 and had the first movie he saw when he woke up was "Artist", he must have thought he had just had a sleep.]
On Xinlang VB, netizens of Huaguo also showed pessimism. Although they hoped that the "Artist" invested by Huaren could win the award, judging from the current situation, the hope was already very slim. Even the commentary guest said that "Hugo" is too strong!
"I have to admit that Mr. Martin still understands Oscars very well. Although the box office of "Hugo" was not good enough, it conquered the judges' harsh vision from both visual and auditory aspects. Compared with "Artist"'s black and white retro style may be relatively thin, so I think "Hugo" still has a little advantage in the next competition for the best director and best film."
At the ceremony, Harvey was a little restless.
Only Li Rui sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Chapter completed!
