In the new 1ang live broadcast room, the host Ren Zeng Zihang looked at the computer screen and said, he asked the other three guests: "This year's Oscars broke out two surprises, the best actor and the director both chose young people, why is that? ?”

"This is also expected. "The Pianist" and "The Ninth District" are the most anti-war and humanistic films this year." Cheng Qingsong was very happy and said: "These two awards were given to Adrian Ann Brody and Wang Yang, it shows that most of the judges want to show their anti-war attitude through this selection intention, and it is also understandable to choose Fantastic Young instead of Polanski."

Wang Lei nodded and said: "Polanski's suspicion of raping girls has always existed. If art stops at art, then his nomination has already shown that he was not even nominated for the Golden Globe Award." Cheng Qingsong said: " The two youngest records also show that the 75-year-old Oscar is not old, otherwise it would be Robert Downey and Roman Polanski." Zeng Zihang asked: "Director Wu, what do you think?"

"Actually, Oscar has always favored young directors.

Winning the Golden Globe at a young age is basically an Oscar. "Wu Shixian said: "Wang Yang is very popular in the United States, and he is also highly expected by many media shadows. He is considered to be the new generation of Steven Spielberg. "Cheng Qingsong nodded and said: "There is this saying, when "When Happiness Comes to the Men" came out, it was also said that he was a new generation of Robert Zemeckis. "...

At the Kodak Theater on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, the audience and guests were all amused by the new best director on stage. Grinning grinningly, his eyes are full of charming tenderness, which is both sweet and sensual.

"But..." When the laughter of the crowd stopped, Wang Yang, who was not overwhelmed by excitement, looked at the smiling Harrison Ford next to him, raised the golden man in his hand, and said, "Although it is not a beautiful nv presented the award, but I am very happy, everyone knows that Harrison Ford presented the award to me, this Oscar won by a sci-fi movie, this is really meaningful”

There was a burst of thunderous applause at the "Hoo Hoo" venue. Star guests such as Nicolas Cage and Keanu Reeves smiled and wanted to stand up and applaud. Martin Scorsese, Rob Marshall, etc. The candidate opponents and the guests of the blockbuster movies also stood up, and the applause even became like a rumble, and some audience members shouted loudly: "Whoa-" and Harrison Ford on the stage also took Smiling and applauding while holding the envelope.

The applause is not only for Fantastic Yang, but also for many, many sci-fi filmmakers, because Harrison Ford is Han Solo, the protagonist of the "Star Wars" series, and Rick Deckard, the protagonist of "Blade Runner". Germany, and Indiana Jones, the leading actor in the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series directed by Stephen Spielberg, behind him represents George Lucas, Ridley Scott, and Spielberg, etc. people.

Now that he is presenting this award, it is like a feeling of recognition and inheritance. These sci-fi film masters jointly award the best director award to a promising young man, and put the future of sci-fi films in his hands.

The huge applause in the venue rang for a while before it gradually subsided, and more than half of the stipulated time of 45 seconds had passed. Wang Yang looked at the audience who had not sat down again, and said again: "Harrison- Ford gave me the award, which makes me very, very happy. Maybe everyone has realized..." Under the eyes of everyone smiling, he imitated Steve Martin's previous speaking gestures, and said with emphasis: "That's a a clear message"

"Ahaha...", "Haha", "Whoah!" The audience was once again amused into laughter. The celebrity guests clapped their hands vigorously, and there were also some cheers and whistling whistles. Sound, this sentence is to imitate the spoof of Steve - Martin, and then spoof of George - Bush.

Although it is very funny, Miracle Yang has always had a talk show-style stage style, but the organizers have become vigilant. They don't want another Michael Moore incident. The staff will play music to drive him out at any time.

But Wang Yang didn't intend to go too far, he adjusted the atmosphere back to ease, and said with a smile: "The fascinating thing about science fiction movies is that the world they show is full of imagination and infinite possibilities. We can invite outsiders Stars come to be guests, we can go to space to swim in the universe... infinite possibilities, so thank you for the sci-fi film, I hope that in the near future, it can be brought here again and stand on this stage again."

The guests and the audience applauded him again, and some reporters couldn't help but their eyes lit up. This is a good news topic. Miracle Yang is going to make another sci-fi film to hit the Oscars

"Yes, I will shoot sci-fi movies again." Wang Yang looked at the smiling faces of the audience, and spread his hands like Steve Martin holding the trophy, and said, "I think everyone will support me. Filmed, of course, except France and Germany."

"Hahaha" There was another burst of laughter in the venue, even louder than when Steve Martin said it at the beginning. In addition to this double effect, it is more joyful, and the atmosphere after a party has become very brisk; but there are also Some Republicans booed demeanor. Jessica smiled and applauded lightly, but she also felt like walking a tightrope in her heart, so don’t get excited, it’s good to be humorous

The timer light over there has been turned on, indicating that the time is up, and a fun talk show will help the clip ratings, and the best director said a few more minutes is not a big deal, but Jill Gates and others are really full of apprehension, It's better to end it safely than to risk letting him talk.

"The light is on, but I haven't started to thank you yet. What's the matter?" Amidst the chuckle, Wang Yang ignored the lit timing light and said with a puzzled expression: "Everyone seems to be wearing a Rolex tonight, the second hand It's tens of thousands of yuan in one circle." The guests and audience in the audience laughed again, and he shrugged slightly, saying: "Although you are indeed." The laughter suddenly turned into a loud haha ​​that resounded through the venue. laugh.

Wang Yang made a gesture of looking at his watch on his right wrist, looked at it and said, "It's less than 4 hours, no wonder my mind feels so good." The laughter continued unabated, Jack Nicholson , Halle Berry and others all laughed with their mouths wide open, Wang Yang raised his fist again, and said seriously: "But we should protect the tradition of the 9 hours of the Academy Awards ceremony."

"Hahaha——" The crazy laughter of the Kodak Theater broke the record for tonight. Almost all the celebrity guests in the front rows were laughing. Nicole Kidman, who just said that she wanted to protect the tradition, laughed She lowered her head to avoid the camera, and waved her palm, "Don't make fun of me." Jessica covered her mouth with one hand while laughing, and leaned back naturally; Downey and others next to her laughed and applauded.

The longest time in the history of the Academy Awards ceremony was 16 minutes at the 74th session last year; but the 9 hours was a famous self-deprecating joke by the previous host, and that scene was also played in tonight's review of previous classics.

"I don't know what's behind, everyone is so eager to go there, maybe there will be some surprises." Wang Yang pointed sideways to the direction of the backstage, and amidst the unstoppable laughter of the crowd, he spread his hands and said: " Maybe it's just seeing Steve Martin eating the best picture trophy there."

The deafening laughter almost reached its peak, and the Kodak Theater during the war seemed more joyful than usual. At the beginning of tonight, Steve Martin said that he anan'd all the trophies in the background joke. Seeing that Wang Yang was about to end the talk show and said "thank you", bursts of warm applause erupted from the audience, as well as shouts and whistles from the upper-level audience,

And the timing light has turned into a complete warning red, and the music of the band will be played at any time. Although Fan Mi Yang, as long as he doesn't talk about politics, the organizer will not really drive him away as a last resort. After all, he is not in such a hurry, but now it is very At this time, he has spent almost 3 minutes.

"I want to thank my parents for this award. I love you very much." Wang Yangwei held up the golden man and looked at the audience. He officially entered the thank you session. Amidst light applause, he said quickly: "My friends, Colleagues from Flame Films, and all the cast and crew of "District 9", Walley Pfister..." After he read a lot of names, he looked at the seat in the front row again, and said with a smile: "And My darling Jessica, without your constant encouragement, support and care, this moment would not be here, and I love you."

Applause erupted in the venue immediately, many female guests and female audience applauded from the bottom of their hearts, the camera glanced at Jessica again, she was smiling with her lips pursed, her two big eyes were a little red, and her heart was filled with real Filled with happiness, he murmured: "I love you."

"Wait a minute" Wang Yang raised his hand to stop the live band that was about to play music. He agreed to express his anti-war speech, and the joke just now didn't count, and said: "During District Nine, we went to Johannesburg, South Africa , That city is very strange, the city center is very prosperous and beautiful, but Soweto, 6 miles to the south, is impoverished and dilapidated, like two worlds.”

The camera scanned the celebrities and guests in the front row, and saw that they were all listening calmly, and the audience was silent. Wang Yang continued: "We are fortunate to live in the world in the center of the city, but at this moment, there are many people Bearing the pain, especially the war has made more people face difficult days. I hope that one day, the two worlds can truly merge into one, sharing peace, freedom and happiness. Anyway, let’s end it quickly thank you”

The emotional atmosphere of the venue, what an amazing young man

Martin Scorsese gave a thumbs up to the camera with a smile, and Jack Nicholson, wearing sunglasses, laughed and shouted something; as Wang Yang thanked him and walked by, Nicole Kidman laughed and said : "If it takes 9 hours, it's really unimaginable." Cameron Diaz and others next to him also laughed and said: "You really bang", "Congratulations"...

Jill Gates and other organizers breathed a sigh of relief. Michael Moore is just the winner of the best documentary feature film that has not received much attention. If the best director comes again, they will definitely receive a lot of awards. Complaining and being held accountable by the TV station, fortunately Miracle Yang gave a perfect and well-timed speech.

And the thousands of viewers in front of the TV naturally listened to the testimonial throughout the whole process. Fans who liked him were even more fascinated, such as Evelyn who laughed and shouted again and again; At this time, he was a little mentally relaxed, and Miracle Yang didn't seem to be so annoying. Many people turned to treat him calmly. Let's take a look at the results of his war prediction. He said that he would fight for a month, but the Allies took 3 days. It has already driven straight to a place only a few hundred kilometers away from Baghdad.

"Haha, he can make people laugh at any time..." Natalie on the sofa smiled, still unable to catch her breath, she watched Wang Yang walking towards Jessica on the TV screen, propping her chin Well, there is no way, people get to know each other early and encourage and support early... At this time, amidst thunderous applause, Kirk Douglas and Michael Douglas and their sons in black suits and bow ties came out, and Natalie shouted Said: "Oh please, let me watch their kissing before turning the camera."

Jessica's eyes were full of pride as Wang Yang came back with a golden man in his hand. She embraced him tightly with her hands, raised her face and kissed him; Wang Yang kissed her soft lips once. , let go of her and sat down together, and greeted Donnie who was next to him and patted him on the shoulder with a "hey". Just like the Golden Globe trophy, Wang Yang stuffed the Oscar into Jessica's hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you, beautiful girl, now I'm awarding this award to you, take it"

"Oh my God, I'm the best director." Jessica held the trophy firmly, looked it up a few times with a smile on her face, and said emphatically, "This is a clear signal." Wang Yang spread his hands slightly and said with a smile: "Yes , your sci-fi movie should be shot well.” At this moment, the thunderous applause gradually died down, and seeing that Douglas and his son on the stage were about to start awarding the best picture, they both looked at the stage with smiles.

"Thank you, thank you" Everyone sat down again, and Kirk Douglas (1916-12-o9) pressed his son's shoulders, said with a proud look and a little inarticulate: "He is my son Michael. "He stared, stretched out two fingers on his right hand, and said: "I have won twice but I am still very young." The helpless look of teaching.

There was a burst of laughter and applause from the audience. Douglas once won the best picture as the producer of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in 1976, and the best actor for "Wall Street" in 1987; while the old Douglas won the best movie three times. Actor nomination.

"You know, the 75th anniversary... go back to 75 years old again? Oh y" the old Douglas said with a face of reluctance, under the laughter and the smiling face of his son, "We are here tonight to deliver tomorrow's headlines Seeing that Douglas picked up the envelope in his hand to open, he hastily taught and reminded: "Speak concisely." There was another round of laughter and applause, especially Douglas's sulky appearance was very funny.

"Ahem, my father in the film industry." Douglas clasped his hands solemnly, looked at the audience and introduced: "He will announce the final award of this annual film event, and his name is in this envelope." He put The envelope was handed to the father and said: "The shortlist for the best picture is..."

The picture on the big screen on the stage changed, and the live nominees and nominated film clips appeared at the same time, ""Chicago", Martin Richards." Richards looked calm, and the audience suddenly burst into applause, ""Ninth District ", Wang Yang and Stephen McCormie." The applause broke out again after a second pause, and Wang Yang smiled at the camera on the screen, "Gangs of New York, Alberto Grimaldi and Harvey - Weinstein... The Pianist, Roman Polanski, Robert Ben Moussa and Alan Sade."

Under continued loud applause, Douglas continued to read out the last nomination: "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Barry M. Osborn, Fran Wales and Peter Jackson."

After the introduction, the TV camera returned to the father-son comedy show on the stage. The old Douglas clumsily opened the envelope. Douglas made hand movements and reminded him: "Uh, you have to say that the winner is..." The old Douglas looked disdainful , in turn taught his son: "The winner is" The audience and guests immediately burst into laughter. The winner is Oscar's original statement. Later, the academy felt that this seemed too narrow. After all, excellent movies cannot simply be combined. When they compete together, they become the winners.

"..." Old Douglas pulled out the letter paper, lowered his head and squinted his eyes, and suddenly tore the letter paper in two with a look of impatience, and handed half to his son amidst laughter from the audience. The letter papers were put together again, and they laughed and shouted in unison: ""Chicago"—"

"Ahhh——" The atmosphere in the Kodak Theater instantly boiled, the audience screamed, and almost all the guests stood up and applauded. This is the treatment that no matter which movie wins an award, it should be treated , and the cheerful soundtrack of "Chicago" played by saxophones and other instruments has already resounded in the venue: "Da da da, da da da da..."

The guests of "Chicago", the seat creators and leading actors all hugged each other ecstatically. The pale Martin Richards pressed his forehead, stood up and was already hugged. He hugs director Rob Marshall, Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger...

"Papa——" The other members of the nominated films also laughed and applauded, and the same was true for "The Ninth District". Wang Yang, Jessica, Downey and others stood up and clapped their hands. Naturally, they were a little disappointed that they were not selected. , but they didn't expect too much, because the anti-war "The Pianist" is the best candidate, while "Chicago" can represent peace, and science fiction and cult movies have never won the best picture. Best director is already a big breakthrough.

Jessica looked at Martin Richards who was excitedly walking onto the stage, applauded, and sighed: "Wow, the musical won the best picture again." She looked at Wang who was clapping his hands next to him. Yang glanced at it, and couldn't help but think of the phone call inviting her to audition. He said, "It's time, musicals will be revived in an all-round way." Thinking that she was actually the protagonist of this revival, she smiled and said: "ng"

"Tonight's award is really amazing," Robert Downey over there said with a smile. This Oscar has many new records. Meryl Streep, the youngest actor and director, surpassed Audrey Hepburn's 12 nominations with 13 nominations. The sci-fi film returned to the Oscars after a year and made an unprecedented breakthrough. After winning the director award, after "Oliver" in 1968, another musical film won the best picture...

"Oh my god oh my god" in front of the microphone on the stage, Martin Richards was so happy that he couldn't speak, and director Rob Marshall also walked on the stage, celebrating and hugging with Douglas and his son with. The applause gradually died down, and Martin Richards took the golden man trophy and said: "It's been a long time. My parents will know that I have achieved what I have today. God, it's all about Bob Foss. There's Kandel and Abu's song to start..."

Then in Xu Yuanan's words, he thanked the main creators and actors of "Chicago", some friends who supported him, and others. He finally held the trophy in one hand and the base in the other, and said affectionately: "And dear Mary Lee and my late partner Robert Flair..." He bowed and said, "I bless you all I bless all thank you"

There was a burst of applause from the audience, and Martin Richards, Rob Marshall, and Douglas and his son left the stage together; the screen shot then switched to the front of the microphone podium on the right stage, and the host Steve Martin shot After clapping my hands a few times, amidst the unstoppable applause, I put my hands on the podium and said, "Okay, half of the awards ceremony is finally over."

The applause in the audience was suddenly covered by the laughter of the crowd. The camera quickly scanned Wang Yang who said "9 hours" just now, and saw him grinning; Raising his hands, still with a faint serious expression, he said: "I have to thank many people tonight, especially why should Wang Yang thank him? Because it doesn't matter if I thank him."

"Hahahaha——" The loud laughter in the theater suddenly became louder. This is Steve Martin returning to Wang Yang for the rebroadcast of the "revenge" just now. He raised his eyebrows and rolled his eyes and made a " I don't care" funny expression, the laughter didn't weaken but grew louder: "Ahahaha——" The audience and guests were all amused by the host and the guest host.

"And all the young people who are watching overseas, what we are thinking is that you hope you like this show, this festival is dedicated to you" Steve Martin pointed to the camera and said a few words, and finally raised his hands , smiled: "Good night"

Amid the thunderous applause, the venue played the joyful song of "Chicago": "Da da da, da da da da..."
