1471 1471 Wheelchair Man
The first suspense of tonight's Oscars ceremony was officially revealed, and the Hugo and Brad competition ended in a tie.
After all, Brad has not been able to replicate the miracle created by "Schindler's List" two years ago. The strong momentum that had been rising abruptly came to an abrupt end tonight, which not only made Martin Baum's calculations and conflicts in the past few months. Unfortunately, the plan failed, and more importantly, let the "Twelve Monkeys", which belongs to Brad's summit work, stop at the position of "excellent work" rather than "classic". In terms of box office and influence, it is not comparable to Tom Cruise's "Top Gun", and in terms of awards and word of mouth, it is not comparable to Hugo's "Schindler's List", which is undoubtedly a long-term development for Brad's future. Huge loss.
Of course, Brad is now undoubtedly the leader of the Mesozoic actors along with Hugo and Tom Cruise. Hugo is currently slightly ahead, but the future development is full of infinite possibilities. These three top male actors The future competition of actors is bound to attract more attention.
However, Brad was not the focus at this time, and even his undisguised stiff expression was "fortunately" not noticed by anyone, because everyone turned their attention to Kevin Spacey and the stage on the stage. Hugo below. It's just that for Hollywood artists, is it really lucky that there is no attention, no focus, no hot discussion, neglect and ignorance?
With the announcement of the Best Supporting Actor Award, people's inner speculations suddenly roared, what does this mean? Does it mean that an unprecedented vote-distribution crisis will result in Hugo going home empty-handed tonight? Or does it mean that the concentrated votes to the "death row" gathering will be the help of Hugo's ascension to the top actor?
It can be said that the Best Supporting Actor Award does not belong to Hugo, which is unexpected, but also expected, because all Hugo-related awards tonight are full of countless variables, more than 5,000 colleges The judges' votes were completely unpredictable, which made the awards ceremony even more exciting.
However, Hugo didn't have time to think about these things at this time. After Kevin's acceptance speech was finished, the staff appeared and quietly led Hugo towards the backstage. Next, Hugo was tasked with hosting a special session.
When he came to the backstage, Hugo first saw Robin Williams and Sandra Bullock who were preparing to take the stage to present awards. Hugo stopped his footsteps, briefly exchanged a few words with the two, and then followed. The staff entered the waiting room. A short and sturdy man who was only as tall as Hugo's chin walked in front of him. He had a naive smile on his face.
The opposite side collided with Hugo head-on, but he braked abruptly and stopped himself. Then he fought against inertia and took a small step back, "Sorry, my mistake."
Hugo was not frightened by this accident, but was slightly surprised by the other party's developed motor nerves. Then Hugo saw the man in front of him. The huge nose and slightly happy appearance immediately attracted Yu. Guo's eyeballs, which made his pupils involuntarily dilate slightly.
Seeing Hugo's daze, the other party thought that he was frightened by himself, but he stretched out his right hand with a smile on his face, "It was my mistake just now, I'm really sorry. This is Jackie Chen when we first met. (Jackie. Chan).”
"No, I'm fine." Hugo was stunned for a moment, and then he stretched out his right hand, grabbed the opponent's right hand, and squeezed it hard, feeling the strength from those broad palms, "Of course, of course, Jackie, I know you're Jackie Chan, first meeting, I'm Hugo Lancaster."
Hugo's words made Jackie lift his chin unexpectedly, "Everyone in Hollywood knows Hugo, of course, but how do you know me? I'm Jackie Chen, not Bruce Lee. Lee)." Jackie's words were lighthearted with a bit of self-deprecation, which made people laugh.
"I know you, of course I know you." Hugo couldn't help but smile.
Of course he knows Jackie Chen. Presumably there are not many Chinese people all over the world who don't know Jackie Chen. The martial arts superstar who brought Chinese martial arts movies to the world is Ji Li. Small. After the dragon, the most famous Chinese actor in Hollywood is Cheng. dragon!
Hugo had seen Zhang from a distance. art. Conspiracy, he was also at the Berlin Film Festival and Lee. Ann has talked face to face, but they are both directors, masters hidden behind the scenes, Ke Cheng. Dragon is different. His big screen image can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the 1980s and 1990s, the peak of Hong Kong film industry, became. Long and Hong. gold. Bao, Yuan Biao and others pushed the kung fu movie to its peak. Hugo almost saw it. Dragon all the movies!
I didn't expect to see Jackie Chen on the occasion of the Oscars today, which is really a huge surprise.
But Hugo had forgotten that at this time, compared to the surprise of seeing Jackie, it was the real surprise that Jackie saw him. Jackie looked flattered. "Really? You know me? Wow, what an accident."
Only then did Hugo wake up his memory. In fact, Jackie tried to break into Hollywood as early as the early 1980s, but unfortunately he didn't succeed, so he temporarily concentrated on incense. It was not until the mid-1990s that Jackie ushered in a good opportunity for Hollywood's development. In 1995, a "Red Zone" actually won the box office of 32 million US dollars in Hollywood. Created the best results of foreign language films in North America. Then, relying on the popularity opened by this work, Jackie got the opportunity to perform "Rush. Hour", which established his later international status.
Therefore, at this time Jackie has a certain reputation in Hollywood, but it is very limited. He relies more on the strength of his agency, William Morris Agency, to win the opportunity to attend the Oscars. What I have to admire is that William Morris Agency, as a veteran leader, has a really good approach, not only making Jackie the guest of honor at the Oscars, but also the guest of honor for the best animated short film.
This is the power of top brokerage companies, they have the ability to let their artists enter the field beyond their own ability, so as to win more development opportunities. For example, Will Smith also attended the Oscars tonight, and he also became the guest of honor for the Best Visual Effects Award. This is the ability of Endeavour Elite Agency now.
"Of course, 'Hongfan District', a mysterious kung fu master from the East, right?" After Hugo finished speaking, he also burst into laughter. In the 1990s, there were not many Chinese faces active in Hollywood, which also made Hugo feel more intimate every time he saw these familiar dark eyes and yellow skin.
"My honor." Jackie looked completely unexpected. After all, Hugo is now the person at the top of the world's movie pyramid, and he is incense. The Hong Kong film industry has a detached status, but its influence in North America and the world is very limited.
Looking at Jackie's proud expression, Hugo's mood is really difficult to describe in words. However, Hugo soon saw the urging eyes of the staff, and he had to apologize, "Sorry, I still have a task to do, and I hope to chat more slowly next time."
After saying goodbye to Jackie, Hugo only had time to sort out his slightly ups and downs, and then saw the wheelchair in front of the dressing table, his mood slowly settled down, and quickly greeted him, "Hey , Christopher, sorry to keep you waiting."
Standing next to the wheelchair, the red-haired lady in a long dress with champagne-colored slings turned her head and smiled when she saw that it was Hugo. Come over, Hugo is face to face with the man in the wheelchair.
At this time, the man who appeared in front of Hugo slumped his hands on the back of the wheelchair, his fingertips twisted; his face had a humble smile, but his facial expression was a little stiff, and his long black hair was neatly arranged. The comb was three or seven points, but it was slightly messy at this time, and the deep facial features outlined shallow shadows in the soft light of the dressing table. He was wearing a black suit with a large lapel collar and a navy blue vest, but the white shirt inside could not be seen clearly because it was blocked by a white pipe that was attached to his chin. Pass the vest, and then connect to a clear glass bottle on the wheelchair.
"Please call me Chris." The wheelchair man had a genial smile on his face, and it looked really normal. "Dana, this is Hugo, I told you, he's a very handsome man."
The woman standing next to her smiled and stretched out her right hand towards Hugo, "Dana. Reeve."
Hugo also shook hands with her and greeted her, then smiled at the wheelchair man, "In front of you, I will never admit that I can be close to handsome. Otherwise I think I will become the enemy of the whole people, Karl Earl my supporters will drown me."
Hugo bent down and gave the wheelchair man a big hug, completely ignoring the existence of the wheelchair, as if it was just a normal social interaction, which made the wheelchair man smile brightly, and Dana, who was standing beside him, couldn't help showing it. A shallow smile.
The wheelchair man in front of him is the most famous Superman actor in film history, Christopher Reeve. As we all know, Superman can be said to be the most successful superhero image in the history of American movies. His appearance defines the so-called hero image for people, and it is Christopher Reeve who really injected this kind of leadership into Superman. The charisma projected onto this illusory influence makes the Superman image convincing.
Even after many actors have played Superman, no one has ever been able to surpass Christopher in front of him.
It is a pity that Christopher is also one of Hollywood's biggest losses. He accidentally fell from a horse during a horse race last year, resulting in a spinal injury and paralysis. A generation of idol superstars is trapped in a wheelchair like this.
Tonight, Christopher appeared at the Oscars on a special mission, and Hugo will be his partner.
