On April 15, 1971, Zhang Zhonghua, Bruce Lee and Jackson Jr. walked together to the City of Angels Music Center. Naturally, the three of them went together to attend the 43rd Academy Awards ceremony.
Originally, Zhang Zhonghua was not planning to come, but suddenly he remembered that he had a movie that he wanted to participate in the selection, and he seemed to have received an invitation before.
In addition, I have already arrived in the City of Angels. It would be a bit rude not to attend the award ceremony. Zhang Zhonghua, who was born in the land of hot summer and a land of etiquette, cannot do such a thing.
If you do human things in a place where animals live, you are still a human being, and if you do animal things in a place where humans live, you are still an animal. That’s why Zhang Zhonghua decided to participate in the Oscars!
"Ahua, the live broadcast of the Academy Awards ceremony will not affect the live broadcast of table tennis, right? Compared with the Oscars ceremony, I think the table tennis game is more eye-catching!"
Bruce Lee asked Zhang Zhonghua beside him.
"In fact, it's not the case. The TV station broadcasts the Oscars in the morning and table tennis in the afternoon. Have you forgotten about the time difference?"
Zhang Zhonghua glanced at Bruce Lee strangely, and then said.
At this time, Bruce Lee said with some embarrassment: "Well, this seems to be true, I forgot about the jet lag!"
Just when Bruce Lee didn't know what to say, the car stopped and they were there!
Bruce Lee didn't care about being polite anymore, he opened the door and got out of the car, followed by Zhang Zhonghua, and the last one was our little Jackson!
"Zhang Zhonghua! Zhang Zhonghua! Zhang Zhonghua!"
"Bruce! Bruce! Bruce!"
"Zhang Zhonghua! Zhang Zhonghua! Zhang Zhonghua!"
"Bruce! Bruce! Bruce!"
When the tourists gathered at the entrance of the City of Angels Music Center saw Zhang Zhonghua and Bruce Lee, they immediately shouted at the top of their lungs, completely ignoring little Jackson on the side!
There were even many people at the scene who were ready to rush in front of the two people and ask for their autographs. They are now big-name celebrities, but unfortunately these people were stopped by the security personnel at the scene.
Zhang Zhonghua looked at the fans shouting his name hoarsely. He couldn't help but think of the scene when he came to participate last time, and felt very sad in his heart.
He remembered that the last time he came here, he was still a newcomer in the film and television industry. At that time, fans were shouting Bruce Lee's name. Although he was not a transparent person, he was not very famous.
Sure enough, TV is a good thing. After he appeared on TV a few times, the effect was really great. The number of people who knew him immediately increased many times.
Zhang Zhonghua and Bruce Lee were in high spirits, but little Jackson felt very aggrieved.
Little Jackson feels that even though I'm a little shorter, you still can't see me as a big living person.
Yes, I'm here to make fun of you, but after all, America is a supernova in the music industry, so she should have a few fans, right? Why are you all shouting their names?
Bruce Lee was very amused when he saw Jackson's expression. This little guy hasn't grown up yet and is still a little short. They didn't call your name, maybe because they really couldn't see you. You're such a poor kid.
Bruce Lee originally thought about fighting this little guy with Zhang Zhonghua, but then he thought about it and let it go. He was afraid that this little guy would be impatient and fight him tooth and nail!
After stopping for a moment at the entrance of the music center, Zhang Zhonghua, Bruce Lee and Jackson Jr. quickly walked into the music center on the red carpet.
At present, hundreds of people have arrived in the entire music center awards hall, including many actresses from the American film and television industry. Each of them is dressed very sexy, which is a feast for the eyes of Zhang Zhonghua and Bruce Lee.
As for little Jackson, he is a little kid who just graduated from elementary school. What does he know?
"Hi, Zhang Zhonghua, Bruce and our supernova Jackson, we meet again."
Spielberg, who was just twenty-five years old and still a young man, smiled and walked to the three of them. They were really neat and tidy.
Spielberg remembered that the three of them came together last year, and he estimated that the three of them would definitely come together again next year.
The young Spielberg is still very young and has no experience in making independent films.
Zhang Zhonghua had been thinking about who should be the director of next year's "Big Tiger and Shark". Zhang Zhonghua actually wanted to direct it himself, but he was too busy and had no time to make a movie.
Spielberg is still too green now, so he probably won't be able to make the movie "Tiger Shark"!
The truck driver, Cameron, is currently studying physics at the University of California. Zhang Zhonghua remembers that he started driving a truck after graduating from college. It is still ten years before he becomes a truck driver.
These guys, Zhang Zhonghua, think that in the future they can sign with a film company and make movies exclusively for themselves, which would be an excellent choice.
At the same time, Zhang Zhonghua also thought of America's other great master, George Lucas, the director who made "Star Wars". He can even make "Star Wars", so directing "Big Tiger Shark" is not a big deal.
Relaxed and happy.
In the end, Zhang Zhonghua made up his mind and chose George Lucas as the director of the movie "Tiger Shark".
At this moment, the 43rd Academy Awards ceremony soon began. The host of the award ceremony walked onto the stage and began his annual chat on the stage. The content was basically about the development of the film industry last year.
, there are those excellent movies and so on.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the 43rd Academy Awards Ceremony of 1971 has officially begun.
The first award to be awarded is the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. The actors selected for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor are John Mills of "Ryan's Daughter", John Marley of "Love Story", and..."
Bruce Lee looked at the host on the stage and started talking nonsense, and started chatting with Zhang Zhonghua!
"Let me tell you, Ah Hua, you have three Oscar nominations this year. You can even win so many Grammy Awards. Winning all three music awards shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Who knows, music awards are not just about good music, the most important thing is that it must be highly consistent with the content of the movie.
Why don’t you want my Oscar statuette? The Grammys are given to both of you. You are an actor, so you should work hard for this Oscar statuette! And didn’t you get one last year?”
Zhang Zhonghua asked Bruce Lee speechlessly.
"Do you think it's so easy to win an Oscar? How fierce is the competition every year? And one is not enough? I have two children, so I can't have one for each of them."
"No, there are not enough Oscar trophies, and I have to collect them myself! If you really want a statuette, I will use gold to get you dozens of statuettes, guaranteed to be thousands of gold, and you can exchange them for money when you take them to the bank.
"
Zhang Zhonghua said teasingly.
"Hey, is this little golden man the same as that? Are you going to make dozens of them out of pure gold? Why don't you use gold to make a one-to-one portrait of me?"
Bruce Lee said with a smile.
"It's not that I can't do it. A one-to-one solid gold statue only weighs a ton. The current price of gold is about US$42 an ounce.
One ton is probably less than 1.5 million US dollars. Drizzle, if you really want me to make a solid gold portrait of Mr. Bruce Lee and deliver it to your home?"
Zhang Zhonghua said maliciously.
"Well, you have money, and you and the big dogs, I really want to beat up your rich people and divide your land!"
Bruce Lee said angrily, damn big dog, it's so annoying.
And little Jackson was confused when he heard what he said, what a ton of gold, what 1.5 million US dollars, he had no concept of this at all, he just thought Zhang Zhonghua was really awesome!
"Congratulations to the movie "General Patton" for winning the Best Film Editing Award..."
"Congratulations to the movie "General Patton" for winning the Best Sound Award..."
"Congratulations to the movie "The Way of the Dragon" for winning the Best Cinematography Award..."
"Congratulations to the movie "General Patton" for winning the Best Art Direction Award..."
"Congratulations to the movie "General Patton" for winning the Best Original Screenplay Award..."
Just as the two people Zhang Zhonghua and Bruce Lee were chatting together, one Oscar award was awarded one after another, and after each award was confirmed, there would be a burst of thunderous applause at the City of Angels Music Center.
Without Zhang Zhonghua's opinion, the movie "General Patton" became the biggest winner at the 43rd Academy Awards. Now it is constantly winning various awards, and it is estimated that there will be no less awards in the future.
"The movie "General Patton" is really too strong. Fortunately, our movie "Redemption" was released this year. If it had been released last year, there would still be some pressure to compete with "General Patton" this year. There are many movies this year.
It’s a good movie, but it’s a pity that I ran into this “General Patton” due to bad luck and had no choice but to run with it.”
Bruce Lee said with some regret.
"As a film worker who has been in the industry for many years, you should understand that several major Hollywood film giants have formed a tacit understanding, and the big-budget movies of each giant will not be squeezed into one year.
The excellent films that compete with big-budget movies are all the works of small and medium-sized film companies. They cannot avoid the big productions of giants, so they can only compete in prime time and try to earn more box office!"
The Oscars next year in 1972 will be the home venue of "Redemption" and it can compete with it at any time.
The 1973 Oscars was the home venue for "The Godfather".
Zhang Zhonghua's "Big Tiger Shark" was ready to be released in 1973, and then strived to win several Oscar awards in 1974.
As for any big productions in 1973, Zhang Zhonghua can’t remember it, but if “Tiger Shark” encountered any big productions in 1973, it might not be as good.
Although "Tiger Shark" is good to watch, it is ultimately just a classic American popcorn movie, which is not very in line with the taste of the Oscar selection committee.
Moreover, there will be more and more classic movies in the future, and it seems that it will become more and more difficult to be confused. If "Tiger Shark" was not released in 1973, it would be easier to bump into classic movies in the future.
"The following is the 43rd Academy Award for Best Original Score. The shortlisted works are...
Congratulations to Zhang Zhonghua for winning the 43rd Academy Award for Best Original Song for his song "See You Again", Mr. Zhang Zhonghua."
"Ahua, congratulations on winning a statuette."
Bruce Lee excitedly said to Zhang Zhonghua.
"Operate normally, don't envy me, I'm destined to be a legend, a man you can never catch up with."
Zhang Zhonghua smiled, hugged Bruce Lee and Jackson Jr., and then walked to the stage. Along the way, many film actors he knew or didn't know shook hands with Zhang Zhonghua, and Zhang Zhonghua responded one by one.
"Thank you to all the viewers for supporting me since then, and thank you to the Oscar committee for recognizing me. I will continue to..."
Zhang Zhonghua took over the statuette and began his acceptance speech. He was also very happy. Now there was another decoration in the office, and it was a new gadget.
After receiving the award, it was time to perform. Zhang Zhonghua still enjoyed this feeling!
"It's been a long day without you my friend,
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again,
We've e a long way from where we began,
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again,
When I see you again,
Damn who knew all the planes we flew.
…”
At this time, Jackson, who was a little transparent, looked at Zhang Zhonghua on the stage and was very envious. He actually received two Grammy and Oscar awards with one song. After hearing this, he wanted to ask who else?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Bruce Lee also sang along with everyone present. He did not expect to win any awards this year, but there were so many people running with him, and he was not missing out!
Anyway, didn’t he get a statuette last year? How many people have been working in the industry for decades without one?
"Congratulations to Franklin Svanner, director of "General Patton", for winning the Best Director Award..."
"Congratulations to Zhang Zhonghua for winning the 43rd Academy Award for Best Song for his song "One Day". I would like to invite Mr. Zhang Zhonghua."
"sometimes I lay,under the moon,and thank God I'm breathing..."
Zhang Zhonghua walked up to the stage again to receive the second Oscar. This time he gained a lot. He was satisfied to win two Oscars this time.
“Sometimes I lay,
under the moon,
and thank God I'm breathing,
Then I pray,
Don't take me soon,
cause I am here for a reason,
Sometimes in my tears I drown,
But I never let it get me down.
…”
More than 1,000 people at the City of Angels Music Center venue sang along. People of all languages, colors, and ages sang along, as if they could find solace for their souls from this song.
While singing, Zhang Zhonghua looked at the people in the audience and was very emotional. This song is becoming more and more popular around the world.
Suddenly his thoughts became a little divergent. He remembered that Wu Bai would have a concert in the future. All he had to do was start the concert, and he didn't need to worry about the rest.
His fans were jokingly said: They spent 500 yuan to buy Wu Bai’s concert tickets and sang to Wu Bai!
A song by Zhang Zhonghua once again set off the climax of the Oscar Awards ceremony. Audiences in front of TV sets around the world also sang along, as if they were at the Grammy Awards ceremony again.
"Congratulations to George C. Scott of "General Patton" for winning the Best Actor Award..."
"Congratulations to "General Patton" for winning the 43rd Academy Award for Best Picture..."
Well, Zhang Zhonghua understands that winning the award is just a sideshow, and "General Patton" is the real winner!
