1962 Chapter 1962
After entering the sacred auditorium, Leonardo was obviously in a bad mood, and now he still has an indescribable fear of the crowd, which is why he and Hugo appeared on the red carpet tonight. The signs were not obvious on the red carpet just now, but now Leonardo feels a little difficult to breathe.
Hugo was not in a hurry either, and stood beside Leonardo at the entrance, quietly waiting for him to recover. Seeing such a scene, some staff came over worriedly and asked if they needed help. Hugo hurriedly stepped forward and refused their approach, because he knew that the approach of strangers at this time would only make Leonardo's situation worse. It got worse, and all Leonardo needed was some fresh air.
After waiting for a while, Leonardo finally managed to adjust his breathing, looked at Hugo with a pale face, pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a self-deprecating smile, "The reporter didn't know how to write it when he saw it, I guess Let’s say we two are playing big cards.”
Hugo pursed the corners of his lips, "I think they should write 'vampires exposed to the sun, revealing their true colors'. Dude, to be honest, your face is really messed up now." Leonardo's face was not very good. , At this time, all blood was gone, as pale as white paper, and even the lips lost all color.
Leonardo laughed speechlessly, "If you have time to joke around here, why don't you go and get me a piece of dark chocolate." Leonardo also knew that this was a necessary stage, and he had to come out step by step. Now with the help of Hugo, he has improved a lot. At least he saw that the crowd will no longer have irritable and violent thoughts. Although he still has some repulsion and fear in his heart, he no longer wants to run away. It just feels like the air is thinner.
Hugo raised his hands, made a gesture of surrender, turned around and went to the buffet table to get a few pieces of dark chocolate, and then entered the sacred auditorium with Leonardo.
Due to the severe traffic jam on the road, they arrived at the scene half an hour later than expected, so there is not much time left before the official start of the awards ceremony. Under the guidance of the staff, Hugo and Leonardo came to the first row, and found that the seating arrangements for tonight were still divided by department, and the four acting departments all sat in one area.
Originally, Hugo could also sit in the screenwriter's area or the producer's area tonight, but the positions of these two departments are slightly behind. In the second and third rows, ABC TV considers the ratings issue, so it is Put Hugo at the forefront.
Seeing Hugo's appearance, the surrounding circle was full of acquaintances. Robin Williams walked up and gave Hugo a hug affectionately. Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson took Greg- Kinnear came over and talked about the chaos of today's red carpet around Hugo and Leonardo. It was so lively; under Jack's gossip, Hugo also met Dustin Hoffman, which is the relationship between the two. It was the first official meeting——Hugo, the four major actors in the vertical and horizontal film industry in the 1980s, had all met formally.
Afterwards, Hugo chatted with Judi Dench for a while. This wise old actor is also one of the objects that Hugo admires very much. In her more than half a century of acting career, she has won seven awards Nominated for an Oscar for acting, although she won a Best Supporting Actress statuette by relying on "Shakespeare in Love", she still missed the actress, which is also a great pity.
After waiting for a while, Charlize arrived late.
Recently, because of the script of "The Devil", Charlize almost plunged into the world of Irene Enos, and she even planned to miss the Oscars for a while. But at the last moment, he was persuaded by Leonardo and decided to attend. Fortunately, Karl Earl chose the evening dress for Charlize early, so he did not delay the ceremony. Even so, Charlize still spent a lot of effort today, resulting in a short delay. Fortunately, there was no Arrived after the ceremony had begun.
Tonight, Charlize chose a warm orange evening dress with a retro halter neck. The backless design perfectly showed the elegant curves of her back. The mermaid skirt design can be said to be shocking - such a bold and beautiful retro design was very rare in the 1990s, combining the elegance of Hollywood's top superstars in the golden age and the graceful curves of contemporary women. Feeling, the long golden curly hair is tied into a bun, and the curve of the small wave braid adds a touch of ladylike style.
The diamond jewelry on the wrist and earrings complement the diamond coin purse in the hand, which is simple and elegant yet elegant. The distinctive retro style has attracted all the attention as soon as it appeared on the stage.
Hugo couldn't help but looked Charlize up and down, then showed a big smile, and gave Charlize a hug, "Miss, you are so beautiful tonight." But Hugo could feel Charlie in his arms Zi was trembling slightly, and the uncontrollable tension slowly seeped out.
Hugo let go of Charlize, and took a serious look at Charlize again. Although her face was a little relaxed, she could still feel the heaviness of the recent period between her brows. Irene Enos's world has affected her too deeply, and she is sinking into the mud bit by bit now, which feels wonderful, but also terrible.
Hugo patted Charlize's arm lightly, "Don't think too much, at least you can enjoy it tonight." Charlize smiled slightly at Hugo, but he was still a bit reluctant, "It's best Don't repeat the bad performance of the last time." This is to say that Charlize was so nervous when she won the nomination for the first time with "Before Sunrise", which made Charlize laugh out loud, and gritted her teeth hard. He glared at Hugo.
"I'm wearing a long skirt now, and I'll be backstage later, you'd better be careful!" Charlize squeezed out a sentence between her teeth, the familiar tone made Hugo laugh again, but Hugo didn't show any weakness , gently reminded, "Best Supporting Actress seems to be the first award."
One sentence turned Charlize into a puppet, his muscles stiffened like marble, and he froze in place. Hugo laughed triumphantly, then turned and walked towards his seat. At this time, Charlize also understood that Hugo was deliberately angry with herself, but she had no choice but to grind her teeth fiercely, and then walked to her seat.
Hugo sits today between Leonardo and Jack, who used to be Dustin and Leonard used to be Matt Damon. The five best actor candidates sat together like this, and behind them were the five best supporting actor candidates.
Matt looked at the four bustling people beside him, and wanted to go up to say hello, but hesitated for a moment, remembering what Ben said just before he took his seat, "We are capable and talented, and we need to rely on ourselves to make a difference. Believe me, we will have the last laugh tonight, and they will take the initiative to curry favor with us, even Hugo is no exception. Joseph will regret that he didn't try his best to keep us!"
After all, Matt still didn't step forward, but sat in his seat, quietly watching the other actors on both sides greet him lively. There is an unfathomable deep thought on the quiet expression.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. The awards ceremony kicked off soon, and the theme song of the Oscars ceremony was played in the sacred auditorium. This song is called "Oscar Prelude" For the first time in history, it has its own theme song, and the magnificent symphony makes people feel high, revealing that Oscar has entered a new stage from today.
Billy Crystal slowly descended from the prow of the big ship "Titanic" in the background. He waved his right hand vigorously and shouted, "Whoa!" This is an opening tribute to "Titanic". As the audience applauded for a long time, Billy calmly stepped off the big ship and paced back and forth on the stage, "Very good, good evening, welcome to the Titanic, we are like that big ship, we are big , we are expensive, and everyone wants us to go faster." This is mocking the lengthy award ceremony every year, which makes people laugh.
"Very well, then let us satisfy you." Billy stood still and began to sing loudly, teasing the best five works, first teasing the budget overrun of "Titanic", It even made two large film studios have to choose to join forces; and then ridiculed the "six heroes of light pigs". In this era, even men have to "fruit dew". Matt and Ben are so handsome, as long as they dare to show themselves, they can stand out.
The ridicule of the "perfect" character setting, obsessive-compulsive disorder, impetuousness, and depression are called "perfect", and the screenwriter is still an "inexplicable actor"; then he ridiculed "Good Will Catcher", saying that the relationship between Matt and Ben is too It's too close to make this absolute masterpiece - suggesting that there seems to be an affair between the two men. In the end, when it was "LA Confidential"'s turn, it kept mocking the blurred boundaries between good guys and bad guys in the story. Whenever people thought a good guy appeared, it turned out to be a bad guy, "and there was a screenwriter who made a cameo by the way."
"'L.A. Confidential' can be an iceberg tonight!" Billy's short but beneficial lyrics brought out the focus of tonight's duel, witty and humorous, which is amazing, "Ladies, sir Guys, what a star-studded Best Actor award tonight, big names, great performances, Dustin Hoffman! Jack Nicholson! Matt Damon! Leonardo DiCapri Oh! Oh, and Hugo Lancaster, the little guy keeps going in the wrong places, hey, go back to the writing staff with Matt? I promise Ben has no problem with that."
In one sentence, he teased all three people in one fell swoop, and brought out the second focus match tonight, with extraordinary wit, "Tonight is a night of carnival, please remember to keep the acceptance speech short, because we I want to call it a day! Besides, the Oscars are seventy years old, and one billion viewers are watching them!"
When Billy ended up with an innocent expression on his face, the audience burst into applause!
