Soon, it was the turn of Wang Wei and Madonna to appear. As the most influential handsome men and women in the American music and film circles, Madonna and Wang Wei immediately attracted the attention of all media and cheers from fans outside the venue as soon as they appeared on the stage!
Since her debut, Madonna has always appeared in the eyes of fans and the media with a rebellious, bold, and feminist image.
So many media reporters and fans are looking forward to what bold remarks and crazy actions Madonna will make tonight.
But what shocked reporters and fans was that Madonna was unusually quiet tonight. She was so quiet that people almost thought that the sexy goddess who walked the show with Wang Wei was not the Madonna in their impressions.
Ever since she stepped onto the red carpet, Madonna has been obediently clinging to Wang Wei's side. Even when greeting the media during the catwalk, she followed Wang Wei's lead. She is just like a little wife who takes the lead in everything with her husband.
For the entire distance of two hundred meters, Madonna barely made a single move. He held Wang Wei's arm with a smile on his face. Even when she was being interviewed by the host at the Academy Awards at the end of the red carpet, Madonna did not take the initiative to steal Wang Wei's camera. Instead, she kept smiling and holding her arm with Wang Wei like a little daughter-in-law.
Madonna¡¯s uncharacteristic performance made Madonna¡¯s fans and media reporters at the scene begin to speculate on the relationship between Madonna and Wang Wei.
Because both of them are well-known celebrities, reporters and fans know their ages very well and judge them based on their age. Wang Wei and Madonna are only one year apart. Moreover, both of them are stars who have achieved outstanding results in their different fields, and both of them are handsome men and beautiful women. Therefore, it is easy for reporters and fans of the two to have the idea that the two are in love.
¡°In fact, not only the reporters and fans of the two, but also Wang Wei¡¯s cheap son Sean felt that something was wrong.
As soon as he walked down the red carpet, Sean ran over and asked Wang Wei if he had any secrets with Madonna. As a result, poor Sean was hit hard by Wang Wei as soon as he said these words.
The Oscars catwalk lasted for nearly an hour. Around 5:30 p.m., all management guests arrived. It's the start of the Oscars.
Different from the usual hosts, there is only one host tonight, the famous host and comedian who originally worked for NBC and was hired by ABC last year after Barry Diller took charge of ABC. Johnny Carson.
Johnny Carson is wearing a pure black tuxedo with white lace tonight. It looks much better than on TV.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Oscar night, a night that makes countless filmmakers crazy. On this night, several classic movies will be recognized. And the creators of these movies will also They deserve recognition on this night, so this night touches the hearts of countless creators in the film and television industry.¡±
At this point, Johnny Carson suddenly changed his tone and raised his voice suddenly: "Of course, there are also people who are not part of the film and television industry who are also paying close attention to this night. For example, our President Jimmy Carter. For this Oscar, The night was able to pass smoothly because our President Jimmy put a lot of effort into it.¡±
Johnny¡¯s words made the guests and movie stars burst into laughter, because as we all know, the President of the United States has no right to interfere with the Oscars ceremony. But Johnny Carson specifically emphasized it here, which is undoubtedly a satire on the ability of the current President Jimmy.
The reason why Johnny said this is because it was last November. The Islamic Revolution broke out in Iran, and the U.S. Embassy in Iran was occupied by armed men, resulting in the illegal detention of 66 U.S. government officials and civilians. But the Jimmy government at the time has done nothing. This reason caused great dissatisfaction with Jimmy among the American people.
Of course, the reason why Johnny vented his dissatisfaction with a joke at the award ceremony tonight was not only dissatisfaction with Jimmy's government, but also Barry Diller's prior greeting.
In order to help Reagan succeed in his campaign. Wang Wei ran out of tricks.
When there were boos in the audience, Barry Diller smiled and walked up to Wang Wei and said: "Boss, how are you? This arrangement is pretty good."
Faced with Barry Diller¡¯s inquiry, Wang Wei smiled and nodded, expressing great satisfaction.
Although the media power in the United States is not as influential as it would be a dozen years ago, it is undeniable that the current media power has developed into a force that cannot be ignored in American society. So being able to 'promote' Jimmy here can also be helpful to Reagan's campaign.
Bowing to Wang Wei and Barry DillerWhile they were talking, Madonna on the side turned her attention to Tang Shuchen, who was sitting next to her.
"You are A Wei's friend!"
"Hmm???." Tang Shuchen's mind went blank at this time, because just when she entered the venue, she finally learned from the host that this good brother who had helped her was actually Asia, who even her cousin admired. The first director Wang Wei.
So when Madonna asked her, Tang Shuchen just nodded mechanically.
Madonna often went to Wang Wei's house under the guise of Wang Wei's apprentice, but had never met Tang Shuchen. So when she heard Tang Shuchen admit that he was Wang Wei's friend, an idea suddenly came to Madonna's mind.
"Could this girl be Mike's girlfriend again?" Once this idea came up, I couldn't stop it. And the more she looked at Tang Shuchen, the more Madonna felt it was possible.
Poor Tang Shuchen is still unaware that he is being regarded as an imaginary enemy by the leading lady in the American music industry before him.
Of course, the one who is even more pitiable is Wang. A kind-hearted helper was misunderstood by Madonna.
After Madonna sat there and thought for a while, her eyes suddenly turned and said: "Little sister, what is your name!"
"Ah, my name is Tang Shuchen!" Faced with Madonna's sudden question, Tang Shuchen's little mind didn't react at all. He replied subconsciously.
"Tang Shuchen, this name sounds nice. Oh, by the way, how long have you known Wang Wei!"
Tang Shuchen didn¡¯t expect that this American girl could speak Chinese so well, so he had some affection for Madonna. At this time, when he heard Madonna ask, he hesitated slightly and told what happened just now.
On the other hand, Madonna, who originally thought that Wang Wei had found a new girlfriend outside, listened to Tang Shuchen¡¯s account. He immediately became happy, and at the same time his admiration for Wang Wei increased even more. In Madonna's heart, Wang Wei should be like this, a knight who saves the weak and those in danger.
Madonna, who was freed from the knot in her heart, suddenly became happy again. She took Tang Shuchen's hand and started chatting with him.
Poor Wang Wei didn¡¯t know at this time that he had been misunderstood once.
These subtle conversations in the audience did not affect the award ceremony on stage.
Same as previous Oscars. Johnny, as the host, first started talking nonsense, bringing the atmosphere to the highest level, and then announced the names of the guests.
According to the order of previous Oscar awards, the heavyweight awards are arranged at the end. The first awards to be awarded were those that accounted for a relatively small proportion.
So in the first two hours, the atmosphere of the awards ceremony was driven by the program.
Madonna¡¯s was an hour and a half into the awards ceremony. That is, he went on stage to sing after the awards for best sound effects were presented.
With the announcement of the previous list of relatively minor winners, the Oscar ceremony has gradually entered the "gaochao" stage.
When the host announced that the documentary short film was about to be awarded, the atmosphere at the scene instantly entered "gao chao", because starting from this item, the Oscars have entered a truly intense stage.
The best documentary shorts are all shot by newcomers. Of course, there are some old people who shoot documentary short films, but most of them are chosen from newcomers. So this award can also be a touchstone for newcomers. The director who won the Best Documentary Short Award this year was a director named Paul Robeson. Wang Wei searched for it in his memory for a long time, but could not find any information about this person. Maybe he was an unknown director.
After the short film, there is the documentary. The winner of this year¡¯s Best Documentary is ¡°BESTBOY¡±. After that comes the visual effects award.
According to Wang Wei¡¯s memory, the best visual effects award at this Oscars should be Coppola¡¯s Apocalypse Now.
But now it seems a bit uncertain, because with its own "Terminator", it is not sure who will win this award. You must know that tonight "Terminator" is tied with "The Kramers" and Fox's "Jazz" for the most nominations.
Sure enough, the final result verified Wang Wei's guess, and "Terminator" won the Best Visual Effects Award.
However, Coppola did not feel any heartache about losing the award for Best Visual Effects. On the contrary, he breathed a huge sigh of relief. Like Coppola, Robert Benton, who is also the director of MGM. Because the favorite to win the best picture tonight is Wang Wei's "The End of the Devil""The Kramers" and his own "Mr. and Mrs. Kramer."
However, as his own boss, Wang Wei's influence in Hollywood is far greater than his own. In addition, the previous box office of "Terminator" was too amazing, almost several times that of "The Kramers", which was the runner-up at the box office last year. . So for tonight's award, Robert Benton Alexander
Now that Wang Wei continues to win awards in the front, this means that Wang Wei¡¯s chances of receiving heavyweight awards in the future will be much less.
And the result was exactly as Benton expected. Except for the Best Editing Award, "Terminator" missed out on several subsequent awards.
Soon, time entered the last thirty minutes, which was the moment when the Best Director award was announced. When the host announced the award, all the audience couldn't help but cheer.
Because the best director of the year will be born soon. Could it be this young Chinese actor in his early twenties?
If so, then this young Chinese will completely establish his status as a master in the world of film.
At this moment, all Chinese people in the United States who could watch the live broadcast stopped their hearts.
Madonna and Tang Shuchen, who were sitting with Wang Wei, also subconsciously closed their mouths to talk and turned their eyes to the award-winning guests on the stage.
??Apart from Madonna and Tang Shuchen, the most nervous person in the entire award ceremony was Robertson Benton. As an old director who has never won the Oscar for Best Director or even been nominated, whether he can win the Best Director this time is related to whether Robert Benton's director career can reach a higher level.
The award presenters on the stage slowly opened the already sealed list! He was stunned for a moment, and then he gently read out:
"I announce that the winner of this Oscar for Best Director is Robert Benton, the director of the Kramers."
