817 Opening Gift

The lights on the scene slowly lit up again, but the host did not appear. A short video video began to be played on the big screen. The core content was that this year's host Jon Stewart complained that no one was willing to accept the hot potato of the Oscar host. In the end, the pie fell from the sky and hit him on the head - because many people believed that his style was only suitable for talk shows, not for hosting, and not for Oscars.

In fact, the Oscar host is indeed a hot potato that no one wants to take over.

Last year, Chris Locke's jokes were too extreme, which not only angered many artists, but also involved racial discrimination. People generally believed that Chris did not understand the standard and Chris was scolded for being harsh. At first, he tried to refute, but unexpectedly it attracted even more surging curses, so Chris stopped.

This year, Oscars encountered many walls in inviting hosts. Billy Christo, who has hosted Oscars for eight times, said that he had hosted too many times and was unwilling to take over again; the black actress Whoopi Goldberg, who has received a lot of praise in the past two times, was also unwilling to bear such huge pressure again; Steve Martin and David Letterman also rejected the invitation. After many considerations, the organizer pushed Jon Stewart, who performed well in talk shows in recent years, to the host for the first time.

However, the video short film at the opening seemed a bit boring. It invited previous hosts to appear and directly turned the Oscars off. It was creative but not satisfactory when executed. In addition to the opening, Billy Cristo and Chris Rock hid in the tent, were not well dressed, and the scene of teasing "Brokeback Mountain" caused hilariousness, the whole video was long and boring, and the jokes were repeated. Finally, Jon even dreamed that he and George Clooney were sleeping on the same bed. George told him: The award ceremony began. Then, after the video ended, Jon walked onto the stage with unheard applause.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward.

Not only because the video is not funny, the so-called laughter makes people laugh at all; but also because of George's appearance, this is almost equivalent to the official position and support George. Considering the unexpected attendance that Lance appeared today, the tension in the air made the smile lose its color. Even George's "supporters" don't know what to react at this time so that they will not expose the Oscar-friendly mask.

"Thank you everyone, thank you everyone." Jon turned to look at everyone, "Gentlemen, ladies..." Jon looked around for a while, then paused awkwardly, "Felixty..." Felicity Hoffman, played a transgender person with a wonderful performance this year in "Traveling America" ​​and won a lot of prizes. This is Jon's current meme, teasing Felicity is a transgender person, not a man or a woman, which caused many people to chuckle, "Hello everyone, I am Jon Stewart, welcome to the 78th Academy Awards."

"Tonight, we will celebrate the Oscar movie event together, with me, the lead actor of 'Kill Szimmer 4'." Jon once again teased himself about his meme that he had nothing to do with the movie, which is one of the reasons why he was questioned. "Now there are countless audiences watching this award ceremony with us, more than half of them are waiting for Angelina Jolie's adoption, and I am also on this queue list."

After experiencing the heavy blow of Operation Smith, Angelina's activities in the second half of last year began to shift from movie screens to charity activities - all this stemmed from her changing a public relations team, including her adopting many children from Southeast Asia and Africa. This has really saved her a lot of image points, but it has also become a joke in Hollywood. Real industry insiders know what's going on.

"Tonight is extremely rare for many viewers, because they can see so many top stars without having to donate money to the charity foundation." Jon's joke really made the scene not know how to react, and the laughter was sparse and looked very deserted. "Of course, it is also very rare for everyone here, because you finally have the chance to vote for the winners." This time, the scene finally laughed out loud, and Jon seemed to be encouraged, "Yes, yes, learn and enjoy your vote, it's only once a year." This joke even attracted applause from a small number of people.

Next, Jon began to tease Hollywood again. The North American film market in 2005 was really sluggish. Not only did the box office decline significantly, but the average quality of works in the awards season also fell further. But Jon's joke was not painful and made people laugh at all. Only the audience behind laughed dryly under the guidance of the staff.

Charlize, who was sitting next to him, lowered his head and said in Lance's ear, "So, we flew for more than twenty hours, just for this?"

Charlize's complaints were funny than Jon, and Lance's lips raised slightly, "I want to deny it, but unfortunately, I can't." This response made Charlize roll his eyes and point to the stage with his chin, "Maybe you should go on stage to challenge and see, it won't be worse than this."

"Hey, Lance, Lancelot, the round table Knight who played for Britain..." Jon's shout came over, and all the audience's eyes shot towards Lance. He raised his sight and Lance saw that the camera was aiming at him and Charlize three steps away. He was not panicked at all. Instead, he widened his eyes and looked at Jon on the stage, and said loudly, "Can you see me?" Although Lance had no other microphone, the camera still captured a faint voice. Lance's surprised tone and confusing expression seemed to be saying, "I thought there was no place for me tonight." The mockery of the hidden needle in the cotton immediately made everyone around him burst into laughter. This was better than all Jon's efforts after the opening.

Lance then showed a sudden enlightenment, quickly sorted out his expression, looked around with a smile, and greeted the others on the scene. The obvious gap and pretended mask, sarcastic humor, was revealed in every move. In an instant, everyone in the audience welcomed with applause. This was the first time that the prize ceremony began tonight.

"Lancelot-Stralo!" Jon took the opportunity to introduce it, "'Fruit Hard Candy', six nominations tonight, and personally won four nominations, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Film, Best Original Screenplay... Wow, Wow! Unfortunately, Warren Beatty is not here tonight." This teasing made the excitement of the scene slightly fall back. Warren's meme was used last year. This year, few people have compared Lance with Warren. More people were surprised that Lance won the nomination for Best Director for three consecutive years. Jon's funny point naturally cannot satisfy everyone.

But Jon kicked the bow and didn't turn back, so he could only continue. "So, what's the work you're busy shooting? What's the name? "Lawrence of Namibia'?" This meme is even more profound. It is borrowed from the Oscar-winning film "Lardence of Arabia", which tells the story of British intelligence officers leading Arab guerrillas to blow up the railways and keep the Arab tribes together again. Now, Jon is teasing Lance's actions in filming movies in Africa, which are actually to save African tribes, and at the same time, it also follows the previous meme of "Lancelot is a British".

However, the guests on the scene couldn't laugh at all, because everyone knew why Lance went to Africa to shoot a movie. When Jon mentioned this, he was simply not picking up any pot.

"I heard that this work is also a popular Oscar, and may also be a strong contender for the best film." This is still the meme of "Lawrence of Arabia", but the laughter at the scene is no longer sincere.

But suddenly, everyone burst into laughter, making Jon confused. He turned around and saw the big screen, pointing the camera at Lance. Lance was shaking his head, putting his left index finger on his lips, and making a "shhh" move, as if to tell Jon not to continue talking.

Sure enough, when Jon's eyes met Lance, Lance shook his head again, pointed at Jon, and then put his finger on his lips, as if saying: The joke is no longer funny, this joke is already rotten, stop committing suicide soon.

Seeing Lance's two simple actions, all the guests laughed, especially when they saw Jon with a confused look on his face, the comedy effect was even more outstanding, and the audience couldn't stop hilariousness.

Jon was heartbroken, but after all, he was a veteran of the battlefield, so he forced himself to calm down and continued to speak, "When talking about 'fruit hard candy', in order to shoot this movie well, Lance not only has an affair with several cases, but now he even has a date with him. Scarlett Johnson, are you okay?" This sentence is just to make fun of a joke, love/childhood/obsession. Scarlett is a child star and is only twenty-one years old this year.

However, at this time, the guests at the scene were smiling but not smiling. Strictly speaking, even "meat" couldn't laugh because the topic of love/childhood/ethics is too sensitive and it was inappropriate to mention it on any occasion. This is also one of the important reasons why the prospects for "hard fruit candy" Oscars are bleak.

Then, the audience looked at the big screen again. Sure enough, they saw Lance deliberately stroked his neck with his left hand and made a cut suicide move. Then, the picture turned black. The live director obviously understood Lance's humor. Lance was hinting that Jon should "break himself". The topic about Lance had been too long and was full of mistakes.

Now, applause and laughter burst out, and some people even began to wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes, and they were really laughing.
