Chapter 1472 1472 Special Link

In the long history of Oscar, there are many moments worth remembering, but three of them are forever imprinted in the annals of history.

One is that Marlon Brando refused to receive his second Oscar winner, and instead sent a little Indian girl to oppose American society's oppression of Indians and species. clan. Discrimination; one is that after the September 11 incident in 2001, Mr. Woody Allen, who always refused to attend the Oscars, appeared at the Oscars for the first and last time in his career, just for his beloved New York.

Another was on the 68th Oscars held on March 25, 1996. Christopher Reeve, who was paralyzed by a horse fall a few months ago, appeared at the ceremony.

Hugo never expected that he would be so honored to be one of these three moments, although as early as three years ago, Hugo met Christopher on Broadway in New York, when Hugo was visiting Catherine. - Hepburn, accidentally had a relationship with Christopher, but Hugo at that time never thought that one day he would stand on the Oscar stage with this legendary figure in the future.

The reason why Christopher is so special in the long history of Hollywood is not only because the image of Superman he plays is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but also because he always faces life with a positive attitude after being paralyzed. It is an irreplaceable spiritual force.

Especially last year, the entire United States experienced huge turmoil, including the challenges accepted by the uncrowned kings, the criticism faced by social indifference, etc. Under such a background, it is like Samosa in the "Seven Deadly Sins", People gradually lose confidence in society and face social problems with a negative, negative or even escaping mentality. But Christopher, who was in the greatest crisis of his life, showed a completely different face and brought hope to people.

Therefore, today Christopher accepted the invitation and appeared on the Oscar stage.

"Are you ready? Do we need to speak to a pair of lines? Or, to play it on the spot?" Hugo didn't seem to notice Christopher's wheelchair at all, sat down opposite him with a smile, and took the hand from the staff. reminder card.

Christopher saw the gentle smile on Hugo's face, sincere and sincere, equal and bright, which made Christopher's heart warm, "I think I'll rely on you, I used to see you at the awards ceremony, your eloquence was always very good. , isn't it?"

Hugo patted his shoulder lightly, "Huh, pressure." This simple action made both Christopher and Dana laugh. "Mrs. Reeve..." Hugo raised his head and looked at Dina, who was standing beside him. She also smiled, "Please call me Dina."

Hugo shrugged, "Of course, Dana. Is there anything I need to pay attention to? I'm not very familiar with wheelchairs, so maybe I need some guidance." Hugo didn't shy away from Christopher's situation, he just mentioned it calmly. thing.

The contact with the children in the past few months has made it clear to Hugo that, in fact, many times, people are cautious because they are worried about hurting each other's self-esteem, but instead they hurt each other the most. Pity and sympathy, which are of no use and help to them, will only bring out their condescending sense of superiority.

Therefore, Hugo did not deliberately avoid taboos, nor did he deliberately show caution. He just said it normally, as if asking Christopher if it was appropriate for him to smoke. This is just a common topic. Indeed, Christopher is no different from them, only in a different way of acting.

Dana felt Hugo's friendliness, and her emotions suddenly became agitated, which actually made her choked up a little. It's an honor to be invited to the Oscars today, but everyone treats them with care. Dana knows that everyone is taking care of their feelings, but this care has placed them in the spotlight. In the victim's position, that feeling is known only to the parties involved. But Dina and the others have words of suffering, so they can't be angry with strangers because of their friendliness and sympathy, right?

Christopher seemed to notice Dana's choking and chuckled, "She's exaggerating, maybe because you're too attractive."

Hugo also laughed, put his right hand on his left shoulder politely, and bowed to salute, "It's my honor." This made Dana laugh too.

Then Dana explained to Hugo some precautions, which was indeed not an easy task. So Hugo didn't have time to review the manuscript with Christopher, and could only concentrate on studying.

In a blink of an eye, the staff informed Hugo and Christopher that they should go to the side stand to wait. When they came to the side stage, after confirming that there was nothing wrong with Dana, she hugged Hugo lightly, and whispered in Hugo's ear, "I'll trouble you next." Then she returned to the waiting room.

Hugo held Christopher's wheelchair handle with both hands, and wanted to look down at the teleprompter in his right hand, but found that the light was too dim, so he could only take a deep breath to relax himself. In the end, Christopher noticed Hugo's nervousness and chuckled, "Don't worry, man, you're not alone on stage today."

At this moment, Steven Spielberg, who had just presented the honorable mention to Krik. Douglas, stepped down from the side stage. As soon as Steven looked up, he saw Hugo, and he turned towards Hugo. He gave his thumbs up, then bowed his head and greeted Christopher before walking into the waiting room.

After Hugo got a prompt from the staff, Hugo pushed Christopher's wheelchair and walked towards the stage.

On the stage, the audience was filled with pale yellow lights, which seemed a little dark, and then a spotlight fell down, covering Hugo and Christopher. When they saw these two people, everyone in the audience stood up in an instant. The applause, the thunderous applause roared through the scene, and it can be clearly felt that these applause were given to Christopher, and that kind of admiration and respect from the heart echoed in the bottom of my heart with the applause.

Hugo pushed Christopher to the center of the stage and let Christopher receive the baptism of applause, but he squatted down, put down the props of the wheelchair, made sure that the wheelchair would not move on its own, and then carefully confirmed that the dropper was not involved in the wheelchair I checked the connection between the dropper and the glass bottle, and after confirming that everything was fine, I stood up and stood beside Christopher.

This inspection took at least 20 seconds, but after the applause gradually subsided, there was silence, no one disturbed Hugo's actions, and even the director did not urge Hugo, which made this year's Oscar live broadcast for a long time. Twenty seconds of blank, which is really rare.

Hugo put his hands in front of him and said with a smile, "Wow, what a wonderful silence, it almost made me think I was in the wrong place." This lighthearted joke made everyone in the audience chuckle. , and then Hugo continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome Christopher Reeve." Hugo pointed his hands at the wheelchair man beside him, and the applause broke out again.

After finally waiting for the applause to subside a little, Christopher said with a smile, "Thank you Hugo for your thoughtfulness, I think maybe you can consider taking a look at the work of the nurse." This made the scene chuckle again, "In the past one In the past few years, many special things have happened in the United States, and we have deeply felt many problems from society, which we must pay attention to."

Everyone went quiet, and you know that's why Christopher was at the Oscars today.

"In addition to me, Hugo, who is standing beside me, has also happened to him..." Christopher said halfway, then paused, and the second half was obviously handed over to Hugo.

Hugo also tacitly connected, "It is true, but I am not sure which one you are talking about. First of all, I must declare that I am really not a murderer, children, it is just a movie." Guo's self-joking made the audience burst into laughter, Hugo continued, "Economic difficulties, rising unemployment, high crime rates, racial discrimination... Our society is facing countless problems every day. In order to solve these problems, not only need The efforts of society also require the efforts of each of us.”

"That's it, I hope you don't misunderstand that Hugo is really crazy..." Christopher, who took over the topic, said calmly. This was a satire of the media's ooh during the filming of "Death Ramble", and Hugo continued seriously. He said, "I hope you don't misunderstand that Chris is no longer alive." This sentence is obviously heavy, but under Hugo's narration, there is a little more joy, and many people at the scene smiled. Then Hugo said, "Then, please enjoy the short film on the big screen."

Immediately, the lights in the audience were dimmed, and a short montage of social issues began to be played on the big screen, reflecting many social phenomena in the past year, including Hugo, Christopher, and grievances. Snow Michael Jackson, which made everyone quiet down.

After the lights came on again, Christopher said again, "As a member of the film industry, each of us has the responsibility and obligation to produce more works that reflect social issues, which is an important part of society. spiritual wealth.”

Then Hugo went on to say, "Of course, 'Jurassic Park' is beautiful and very profitable, but at the same time, we also need works like 'The Seven Deadly Sins' to remind everyone that the indifference of society requires us to do more I’m sorry, I seem to be advertising on the Oscar stage.” Hugo suddenly said something embarrassed, causing the scene to be stunned for a while, and then everyone burst into laughter.

"Hugo, maybe you can say 'Forrest Gump'," Christopher reminded kindly.

"Yes, 'Forrest Gump', maybe the society needs more such thought-provoking works, so that everyone can pay enough attention to social issues." Hugo said solemnly, "Of course, what I emphasize is not the box office. part, but part of Forrest Gump."

In an instant, everyone in the audience burst into laughter.
