Chapter 190: Stop talking nonsense(1/2)
"What award will be awarded next?" Diane just saw the unusually angry look in Ronald's eyes when Dustin Hoffman thanked Ovitz, and was a little scared. She quickly interrupted and asked Ronald
Nader, don't show it to yourself, he will be reported by the gossip media tomorrow.
"I don't know, and there's no host to tell me what awards will be given next?" Ronald squeezed Diane's hand to express that he had no problem.
The producer of this year's Oscars, Alan Carr, is really nostalgic. He next invited two heavyweight old actors, Bob Hope and Lucille Ball.
Bob Hope has hosted more than 20 Oscar awards and is an actor with a very good sense of humor. Every joke he makes on stage makes the audience laugh. Ronald feels that even it makes him laugh.
Being the host again is much better than having no host now and just messing around.
"We are going to announce the list without even looking at the results in the envelope..."
Bob Hope finally finished telling the joke under the reminder of Lucille Ball, and invited these old stars to come. One or two is okay, but after inviting so many this time, there were some old stars who wanted to reminisce about those years.
situation.
At this time, we can see the loyalty of Lucille Ball. This older generation of sex idols is very attuned to the audience's mood. She quickly finished explaining the situation. It turned out that next was a song and dance performance, performed by a new generation of young actors.
guys, performing some old Hollywood tricks.
Among the twenty young actors, Ronald only knew two. One was the leading actor in "Love Is Not For Sale" back then, Patrick Dempsey. The other was Fat Niu Li, who had been Ronald's assistant for a while.
Chi Lake.
These two people were jointly operated by Daydream and Niceta, giving them a chance to appear at the Oscars. Dempsey looked very star-like and had already been signed by Richard. And Rich Lake
She had worked as Ronald's secretary for such a long time. Although Ronald was not optimistic about her development, he still gave her a chance.
Each of these young actors has displayed many traditional Hollywood talents, but producer Alan Carr is really too outdated. Fencing, tap dancing, ballet... There are no audiences now who will feel the same after seeing these in the movie.
Excited and worth the price.
Traditional musicals are inevitably in decline. Only Dirty Dancing, Breakdancing, and the new genre of feature films with musical plots pioneered can make some money.
Next is the Best Editing Award presented to Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fassett. This year's Oscars seem to be focused on nostalgia, as these two became popular ten years ago.
Not to the surprise of most people, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" won this award. It combined animation and live action without flaws, and indeed created a new type of film in Hollywood.
"Will Spielberg's sister receive the award? You see Amy Irving is the presenter..."
Diane was a little excited when she saw the lineup for the award for Best Original Screenplay. "Grown Up", which she starred in, was written by Spielberg's sister Ann, and now her sister-in-law came to the stage to accept the award... Many times, the Oscars are awarding awards.
There are hints in the selection of guests.
"Winner for Best Original Screenplay, Ronald Bass and Barry Morrow - Rain Man!"
"Ouch..." The audience's exclamations exceeded the applause, and the broadcast director had to add pre-recorded canned applause to prevent the TV audience from spotting the flaw.
Ronald looked over to the "Grown Up" crew and to Steven Spielberg on the other side. Ann was obviously a little out of sorts. Just now she stood up and prepared to go on stage. But it was Steven Spielberg.
His face was serious and expressionless.
Ronald felt embarrassed. This year's Oscar operation was so bad that it also broke records. If Ann Spielberg hadn't won the award, why did you let Amy Irving come on stage to award the award? Let's change it with the award for Best Adapted Screenplay later.
, and will not cause misunderstanding.
The next guests to present the award for Best Adapted Screenplay were Dennis Quaid and Michelle Pfeiffer. Ronald was unsure. "Dangerous Liaisons" was also nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay this year, which made Pfeiffer
What does it mean to present an award to Fulai?
"The Oscar goes to Christopher Hampton - Dangerous Liaisons!" Michelle Pfeiffer, who had avoided scandals for more than half a year and made her comeback in public for the first time, announced the Best Adapted Screenplay Award with a smile from ear to ear.
.This is a movie she also participated in.
"So, there is still a relationship between the award presenter and the winner. Maybe the Best Original Screenplay was not popular and the organizing committee didn't expect it? Or maybe Amy Irving has some relationship with the Rain Man crew that he doesn't know about?"
Ronald began to think wildly, because the next time was the time for the Best Director Award, which he valued most.
"Now we invite the Oscar nominee, Goldie Hawn..." As soon as the voice-over ended, Goldie Hawn, the star of the movie series, Goldie Hawn and her boyfriend Kurt Russell walked onto the stage holding hands.
This year’s award guests will try to use couples or on-screen couples. The man is tall and powerful, and the woman is sexy and beautiful, which is very eye-catching.
"Ronnie..." Diane felt Ronald's palms starting to sweat and quickly stroked his hands to express comfort.
Ronald couldn't help but feel nervous, as this pair of actors could be said to have a close relationship with him. Goldie Hawn and Ronald's old friend, PJ Soles, the heroine of "Rock and Roll High School" are old partners, and Kool
Russell and Diane collaborated on "The Monster in Chinatown".
"However, there was no announcement when Kurt Russell came on stage because his reputation is not as good as that of his girlfriend Goldie Hawn, and the two of them are not officially engaged, just like themselves." Ronald immediately rejected his idea. This has nothing to do with it.
It’s not a special arrangement by the organizing committee, right?
"But if it's not me, who could it be?" Ronald was calculating the scores for the other four nominees in his mind.
Charles Clayton, the director of "A Fish Named Wanda", originally had a background as an editor. He was active in the film industry in the 1960s and has been directing TV series since then. He recently returned to Hollywood and has been filming for many years.
Come to the first movie. At that time, Goldie Hawn had just entered the film industry, and I would not have much interaction with him.
Although Martin Scorsese was nominated for "The Last Temptation of Christ", everyone said that he has no hope of winning, otherwise the Oscar will cause trouble for himself. He has never made comedies like Goldie Hawn...
Alan Parker, "Mississippi Burning", this is from the British gang, it's impossible to get Goldie Hawn or Kurt Russell to make a movie.
Barry Levinson, "Rain Man", his directorial career began in the 1980s. If he wins the award, Richard Dreyfuss, the leading actor in his debut film, should be arranged to present the award, but Richard
De Dreyfus has just presented the award with Amy Irving...
"No matter how you look at it, it should be me?" Although Ronald came to the awards show with a calm demeanor, but when the matter came, he had already put aside the self-deceptive idea that it didn't matter whether he won or not.
Like the nominees, they started to think wildly.
Unlike last year when I was nominated for the first time and had no hope of winning, this year I really have a hope of winning. So I have a lot of special ideas.
"Before announcing the award, I have a message for Dustin Hoffman..." Kurt Russell said into the microphone. "He was very anxious backstage because he was so excited and forgot to thank Tom Cruise.
Si and director Barry Levinson, so he asked us to convey his thanks."
"Hi..." Ronald heard Barry Levinson's name and broke into a sweat. His back felt wet. He couldn't help but feel that these two guests talked too much nonsense. Who are they?
?
At this time, Goldie Hawn, wearing a golden low-cut long dress, spoke gracefully on the stage, "I just felt backstage that it was very appropriate for the organizing committee to ask us to present the awards. We have acted opposite each other and are partners.
, are they friends, or boyfriend and girlfriend..."
"There's only one thing we're not..." Kurt Ross seemed to want to interrupt his girlfriend's chatter...
"What?" Goldie Hawn looked a little surprised.
"We are not married..."
"Huh? Haha...are you proposing?" Goldie Hawn had already happily buried her head in her boyfriend's arms.
"Ah ha ha ha..." Diane also laughed beside her. If this was a live proposal, it would be a good story. She grabbed Ronald's hand tightly and glanced at him secretly. Now Ronnie would
What should I say?
"Huh? Honey, you put me here..." Kurt Russell's smile was a little awkward, and he continued, "My dear, let's speed up the pace of the award ceremony. We will talk about other things later... cough
Well, the importance of the director to the film does not need to be explained in words..."
"Well, haha, we are going to discuss it tonight..." Goldie Hawn showed a woman's reaction, "The nominees are..."
Ronald felt the force coming from his hand, and had to focus on the stage to prevent Diane from taking advantage of the situation... This is a double embarrassment. What are you two parents-in-law doing? Announce it quickly.
…
The laughter of the audience has become the loudest since the opening. We have been sitting for a long time. It is quite funny to have such a pair of people teasing everyone, except for the five nominees...
Ronald felt that his whole body was stiff, and his expression must have looked serious. He wanted to adjust his facial expression and show a smile, but the muscles on his face did not listen to his brain at all...
Five cameras focused on each nominated director, giving close-ups. Ronald felt himself getting stiffer and stiffer. If he were on the set, he would definitely have to stop and adjust, but this was a live broadcast, so he could only
Try your best to hold your breath and wait for the two parents-in-law to announce quickly.
I can't hold it any longer!
"The Oscar goes to..." Goldie Hawn opened the envelope...
"Barry Levinson - Rain Man"
"Huh..." Ronald took a deep breath and held it for dozens of seconds. Now that he didn't win the prize, it felt like a relief.
"Oops..." Diane on the side shouted out. What a pity! Ronnie must have come with great hopes this year. When the winner was announced just now, his hands got cold.
The camera swept over and focused on Barry Levinson who was on stage to accept the award.
Ronald smiled bitterly and immediately began to applaud. He also regained control of his facial muscles and showed a smile that said, "I am happier that he won the award than I did."
Ronald turned his head and saw a pair of eyes filled with disappointment like his own. It was Martin Scorsese. The two nodded in greeting and turned back to look at the stage.
"Ah... thank you", Barry Levinson took the trophy and said into the microphone, "This is all the performance of Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman. Without their accurate expression, I would be
It’s impossible to stand here.”
Levinson understands that the key to the success of this film lies in the successful performance of the two male protagonists.
"I would also like to thank Michael Ovitz, who kept the film going during a difficult time. I would also like to thank my wife, Diana, who was seven months pregnant when I took over the film.
…”
"Thanks to Ovitz again...and he didn't mention my name...", Ronald didn't know what Ovitz had done for the movie "Rain Man", so that two consecutive winners named him.
Thanks to him.
