Hollywood Domination Chapter 299: Like the pack
"I really gave it to her!"
"It really is her..."
"My God! It's really her! Charles, have you seen it? It's really her!"
"He deserves it! This is what j.j deserves!"
"Salvi Tucci hugged her just now, poor guy, he looks so in love with her..."
"I can't type now **** I'm so glad I'm alone in front of the tv I don't know why but now I'm crying unseemly...seeing j.j walking so confidently to the collar The podium, it’s like my own dream has come true, I still remember when she got her first Oscar three years ago—”
"It's really—oh my God, what would Meryl think? Did you capture her expression—"
"Ha! That's great, I'd say she deserves an award for Monroe - it's a much better movie than her last, The Seventh Sally."
"The real-time audience rating is 42 million, and it continues to grow..."
"My God, my God, my God, she is so beautiful, if Marilyn Monroe can stand on the Oscar podium like her—"
"Will she mention Salvi? Or Cesare? Has anyone seen that agent by her seat?"
"Sigh, I feel sorry for Meryl, but this year's situation is indeed like this, if you don't give it to her, who should you give it to..."
"It's ridiculous, the college is completely crazy, how much energy does Jennifer's backstage have, and it can come again after one time..."
When Jennifer Jefferson received the trophy, all over the world, audiences of various identities expressed their emotions in various languages. Ordinary audiences who were not so familiar with the Oscars expressed their expectations for this result They felt the satisfaction they expected, just like the confident, calm and happy Jennifer on the screen. They felt the satisfaction they expected: the names of the other candidates had been heard of, and they had never watched the movie. Where are you going? Of course, Jennifer, whose work is the most familiar and praised by them, won!
The people in the industry, movie fans and gossip people, those who know Jennifer better and understand the rules better, after being deeply shocked, hover between acceptance and opposition: if Jennifer won the first Oscar At that time, the record had not been broken, but now, at the age of 28, she has won three Oscars for acting, two Oscars for leading actress, and four Oscars. She has broken countless records. They really feel that she is Create an era, an unprecedented era, any privilege, any special case seems so natural to her, and this Oscar, no matter how impossible it may seem in advance, combined with this movie, the box office, influence, The industry's evaluation, now that it has been published, seems so natural and so justifiable, even judging from Jennifer Jefferson's own performance, it is so natural...
If the Oscar is not awarded to her, who will it be awarded to?
Who's role is like her Marilyn Monroe, sweeping the world, driving billions of dollars in production value, and allowing Marilyn Monroe's influence to expand to the world again?
Who's acting skills are like her Marilyn Monroe, she has both **** and art skills, while her beauty shocked the world, she also made a breakthrough in her acting skills, miraculously re-contributing a performance in a movie Way to completely refresh the critics?
Who's box office is like her Marilyn Monroe, creating a peak of biopics, becoming the third in the country this year, and even likely to squeeze out "Iron Man" to become the second in the country, allowing art films to leapfrog Fences, into thousands of households, let thousands of strangers experience the beauty of art films?
Who can be like Jennifer Jefferson, every movie is a breakthrough, every role is a surprise, who can continue to open up new themes like her, and make cakes for the film industry Big, who can combine commerciality and artistry into one movie like her?
No one can, no matter how much you hate Jennifer Jefferson, hate her crowding out the development path of her peers and younger generations, hate her naive political tendencies, hate her as an actress but started a production company , and did it brilliantly, I hate that she greedily brings money into every film, making the studio earn nothing at all—no matter how much you hate her, you have to admit that this third acting award, The Oscar must be given. Among the candidates this year, she has no rivals. This year's Jennifer Jefferson is invincible!
Anne Hathaway, who was nominated for an Oscar for the first time, is not an opponent. She is in a weak state and is only average. Compared with Meryl Streep, who has no breakthroughs and bright spots, she is no opponent. The film is generally dull, and her acting skills are too restrained. Compared with my other work, Kate is not an opponent in "Road to Revolution", she is completely relying on public relations and connections, and it is already an accident to get nominated. Angelina Jolie is not an opponent, she is in a brave state , Jennifer Jefferson in full bloom, no match!
If the Oscar doesn't give her the award, no one has the weight to win this award!
"I want to share this award with all the leading actress nominees, with each of my sisters—Meryl, Kate, Angelina, Annie," as Jennifer Jefferson began , the scene immediately fell silent, this energetic blonde girl seemed to be very aware of her own advantages, and she didn't think about this award, just like Kate who won the best supporting actress tonight-this is within expectations The award was not enough to excite her, she read the acceptance speech which was clearly carefully prepared, this kind of calmness in stark contrast to the huge honor made her seem to have a fresh noble temperament in a trance— ——This girl from the slums actually has the demeanor of a queen at this moment. "Share to every actress who struggles in this position. As women, we bear a heavier burden than men from birth. Movies need our beauty, but they despise our beauty, just like me The role of Marilyn Monroe, her **** body made her popular all over the world, and made all her acting-related efforts a joke.”
She turned to Sophia Loren, "Sofia standing here tonight can tell us how much effort we need to make to get rid of this stereotype—"
In the dignified expression of Sophia Loren, who made her debut with a **** image and eventually became a superstar, frowning and nodding, there was warm applause at the scene, and Jennifer continued, "Movies need beauty, but awards despise beauty. We need Playing ugly and gaining weight, we actresses should try our best to stay away from the word beautiful, so as to win the favor of the judges, Marion and Nicole, you are so radiant tonight, but what about your affirmed screen image , they're gaunt, weird, rough skinned, droopy eyes, they're so weird, so talented, but they're so unbeautiful, people seem to be drawn to insulted, traumatized female characters, they love watching women cry , collapse, despair... And I want to say, why can't we change all this? Why can't we create a beautiful, beautiful, such a beautiful character, let her shock people, let her impress the audience, let her Affirmed by the award?"
Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet all stood up and applauded vigorously. Over the years, they have been disturbed by glamorous images, and Kate Winslet has repeatedly played mediocre women. Applauded loudly, and Angelina Jolie also showed a reserved smile, and gently clapped her hands to express her appreciation. The female stars who are keen to speak for women's rights applauded Jennifer Jefferson, and even the five The movie queens clapped their hands to express their approval - over the years, Oscar's love for images such as widows, bereaved mothers, and ugly women has become a routine, a barrier, which forces everyone who wants to win an award Most actresses have to take the initiative to pursue such roles, while at the same time, male actors can use various performances to win Oscars without restriction, and never restrain their charm because of this. This kind of discrimination oppresses every actress who is qualified to sit here. Of course, this sharp criticism and irony can also resonate with them the most, and even make them sincerely happy for Jennifer's success—why? no? She has reached a height that no one can compete with, and she did fight off prejudice, and she did win an Oscar with a beautiful role-beyond all intrigue and competition, beyond all expectations of her peers and younger people Poignant, the incident itself was reason enough to applaud her: Well done, girl! you did it!
“And to stand here today and receive this award, I am very proud, not only proud of me, but also proud of Marilyn - I am very honored to be able to honor this award that has suffered the most from prejudice. I am very honored that I can represent thousands of beautiful actresses to pick up this award, I am very honored to be recognized while being beautiful, and all this makes this award very meaningful." Jennifer seems to finally With a little excitement, she kissed the statuette lightly, "And I thank all the people who let me get this award-time is limited, I can't read all of your names, my mentor Sidney, I Director Salvi, the judges of the academy—all I can say are simple but sincere words: Thank you!"
Among the thunderous applause, Jennifer bowed deeply, then took the trophy and went to the back of the stage, the music of the scene change sounded, and the award presenters stepped off the stage one after another, and the broadcast screen cut out the cutscene CG, But before the switch, the audience could clearly hear that the applause on the scene lasted for a long time, and it didn't weaken because of Jennifer's departure...
"Oh my god! Who wants to watch this!" Amanda's eldest daughter jumped up angrily when she threw a popcorn at the introduction cg before the annual filmmaker commemoration session, her eyes were still hanging A tear of excitement, "I want to see the scene - I want to see the scene -"
Although Jennifer has already left, she is still very excited about the speech just now, and wants to hear how the audience is crazy about Jennifer.
"*, why cut--"
"Quickly look for it, is there a real-time broadcast of the interview!"
"geez... honey, can you pass me the tissue?"
"I think I'm in love with her, Jennifer Jefferson... Shall we go to see Monroe tomorrow?"
"The instant audience rating was 46.5 million, a very good number..."
"Why didn't she mention Cesare at all, and only said a word to Salvi?"
"It seems that the post-Golden Ball scandal is just a misunderstanding..."
"Who is Sidney? Why did Jennifer call him a mentor? Uh, is he the Sidney Pollack you're talking about now?"
Among all kinds of discussions, the commemoration of the heavyweight filmmaker who passed away last year ended in a serious atmosphere, and the guests who presented the best director awards also came out of the backstage, the outgoing Sid Ganesh , and the chairman of the academy for the past four years came to the stage in high spirits and introduced the five directors who were nominated for the best picture. Thinking hard with the costumer to choose the right fashion for the character, he must..."
Ron Howard ("Conversations with Nixon"), David Fincher ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"), Stephen Dodley ("Life and Death Reading"), Garth Van Sant ("Milk ") and Salvi Tucci ("A Week with Monroe"), these five directors appeared in the camera one by one, and compared with the hearty laughter of the other four directors, Salvi, who was too young Tuqi looked very shy, he just nodded to the camera, and did not express any more - some interested audiences have already noticed that the director did not talk to What kind of communication do people around him have, and because of his British identity, this kind of silence and seclusion made him extraordinarily charming, and even many viewers regretted it: It’s a pity that Jennifer should be interviewed backstage now, otherwise you can watch them There will be some interaction between the two. After all, anyone who has watched the movie can't help but wonder if there is any ambiguous relationship between the director and the leading actress.
"I am very happy to see five high-quality candidates this year. The appearance of young people and new faces makes me feel hopeful for the future, and the appearance of old friends makes me more cordial." After the names were announced , said Sid, smiling, opening the envelope as he spoke, "and Oscar is going to—"
There was a tense silence at the scene, Sid glanced at the envelope, "David Fincher, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"!"
"Woo-hoo!" In the guest seat, Brad Pitt jumped up. As the best friend of the director, he grinned and clapped his hands desperately, as if he was happier than David Fincher , and led by him, people also expressed their respect to this famous director who has always been on the edge of swords with cheers and applause: starting from "Seven Deadly Sins", David has continued to have masterpieces, "Fight Club", "Twelve" Palace" and "The Fifth Sally" are genre masterpieces, and he has also been nominated for several Oscars. Finally, in his third collaboration with Brad Pitt, the values return to the mainstream, with a gentle style and profound views. On The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, he won the Oscar affirmation, and after 17 years in the industry, he finally won the best director statuette!
"I...I really didn't expect—" When the flushed David Finch held the statuette in his hand and stammered his acceptance speech rarely, in the audience area at the back, Jon He patted his thigh viciously and yelled in annoyance.
"Ah!" she said angrily, "I knew it! The best actress is just a consolation prize! The last two awards are still impossible to go to "Monroe"-this is really unfair! It should The winners are obviously Salvi and Monroe!"
Generally speaking, best editing, best director, and best film often form a cross-relationship, because these awards have a lot of correspondence, especially the last two awards, once separated, the gold content of each is insufficient ——If you are the best director, then your film should be the best film, because for a director, the film is a channel for you to express your voice. not enough.
And if it is the best film, then the director should also be the best director. If it cannot be matched, it seems that there are other considerations in the selection of the film, and it is not purely recognition of the quality of the film and the director's skill. Just like last year, "Michael Clayton" won the best picture, but the director didn't win the best director. In addition to this being his first work and lack of qualifications, there are two other reasons: the quality of the film It was forced to be promoted by two actors, and the best film was Xiaonian and so on. Therefore, although he won the best film, director Gilroy is not yet a famous director, and his promotion is not very rapid. But for David Fincher, his qualifications are definitely sufficient, and this film is indeed a masterpiece. Although it was completely crushed by "Monroe", after many considerations, the selection of the best film corresponds to the best director. For this sci-fi romance film, the possibility seems to be greater than the love biopic "Monroe". Of course, it may also upset the winner of "Conversation with Nixon", which is more political - "Milk" The subject matter is not enough for the main theme, and getting nominated is already the limit. "Life and Death Reading" was not nominated for best editing, and it is also the type of nomination to achieve the goal.
These complicated twists and turns, only ashes fans like Charles and Jon can react in an instant. Charles is also a little frustrated like Jon-encouraged by Jennifer's miraculous and overwhelming award The excitement I got up, is now poured cold water by Salvi's failure: Although I always thought that Salvi would not get the best director, but Jenny has won the fourth Oscar. Just now, for a moment, He really thought that Salvi could create another miracle.
"Ah, j.j is back." He didn't want to listen to David's words anymore, and after scanning the front row, he suddenly found a blue figure sitting back where Jennifer had been before, "Look, she is here Talking to Salvi... well, and Judy, they seem to be in a pretty relaxed mood.”
Thanks to the small size of the venue this year, the two people sitting in the front row of the back area were able to squint their eyes to find a suitable angle and observe some details of the interaction after observing for a whole night. Stimulated by this news, I forgot the indignation just now, looked at Jennifer's back with fascination, and murmured happily, "We are so lucky, Charles, we can keep looking at j.j—you don't know just now After the camera cut away, how many people texted me to ask about the situation at the scene..."
Amidst their discussions, David had finished accepting the award and went to the backstage for an interview. Hugh Jackman appeared in front of the stage and introduced the last award presenter tonight: Stephen, the undisputed film master Spielberg, who will present the last and most important award of the evening: Best Film.
After more than two hours of awards ceremony, the audience was indeed getting tired. However, the appearance of this big boss still lifted everyone's spirits and quieted down from the buzzing whispers , waiting for his opening remarks.
"The images in our movies are all derived from the light projected through the projector of the first movie we saw. Movies inspire everyone, whether sitting in the theater watching or working in front of the stage. Behind the scenes, as we take pride in the nominees, please don't forget the ones who came before, and keep motivating yourself to outdo them at every opportunity - let's take a look at this year's best films."
The big screen went dark, the year kept scrolling through the logo, and the monologue from "Conversations with Nixon" said vaguely, "You can't help but wonder what people would do before, and what they will do this time. Choose?"
The screen lit up, and the enthusiastic smiling face of British reporter Frost appeared in the center of the screen, followed by Nixon's deep voice, "Are you asking if the president will do illegal things? Let me tell you, the president will not, when When the president does that, it's no longer illegal-"
Frost's expression turned to surprise, he pursed his lips tightly, and said in disbelief, "Can you say it again?"
"She looks so beautiful, but you can't help but feel sorry for her..."
Following Lady Sybil's lines, the picture turned black and bright again. Colin Clark stood beside Lady Sybil and asked innocently and incomprehensibly, "Why? Why do you feel sorry for her?"
In Colin's sight, Marilyn Monroe, wearing a white costume and with blond hair like clouds, walked in, and all the staff in the audience paid attention to her. In the infatuation of...
With the switching of screens one after another, the five candidate films were presented one by one, Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, Kate Winslet... These big-name stars were happy, angry, sad, and happy on the screen, which caused a lot of excitement. There were bursts of applause and laughter, and finally, the broadcast screen returned to the scene, and Spielberg, who was particularly dazzling under the light from the projector on the big screen behind him, said with a smile, "The nominees for the best picture are, "Benjamin Button Strange Things, Producers Sean Chaffin, Frank Marshall, Kathleen Kennedy - Conversations with Nixon: Brian Grace, Ron Howard, Eric Felner - With Dreams Dew's Week," Producer Jennifer Jefferson—"
Jennifer, who had just won the award, looked a little nervous now. She no longer had the bright smile just now. She put her hands on her lap and leaned forward, showing her full concern for this award. She won warm applause and Cheers, but it also attracted a lot of whispered comments because it was the only single nominee: There are usually at least two nominees for best picture, such as "Life and Death Reading", counting the two deceased The producer even reported four names, and there are not many "individuals" like her.
"And the Oscar will be awarded," Spielberg opened the envelope lightly - the venue immediately fell silent, and fell into an almost frozen silence, and the big-name director didn't seem to intend to What an appetite, on the big screen, the camera has just glanced at the expression of Brad Pitt focusing on licking his lips, he took out the card, only paused for a moment, and announced loudly, ""A Week with Monroe" , Producer: Jennifer Jefferson!"
The background music from "A Week with Monroe", the brisk melody of Marilyn Monroe's famous song "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend", immediately rang in the venue, accompanied by the exciting drumbeat. Deafening screams and applause pushed the decibels of the scene to a climax. This is the last award tonight, and the result was somewhat unexpected. Under various means of mobilizing emotions, the last little accident made the audience The emotions have also reached the peak. What does this award mean? What does it mean? With Jennifer's name—after three years, this girl did it again—a double award!
#
"My God, my God, my God!" When the crew members embraced each other, and hugged and shook hands with the congratulatory crowd, when the big screen was showing the bewildered face of Brad Pitt, when the sound of music Urging Jennifer Jefferson to go on stage to accept the award, when she signaled the crew to go on stage with her, Jon didn't pay attention to the changes ahead at all. Fer's reaction didn't care about paying attention, but hugged Charles with tears in his eyes and shouted, "Oh my god, Charles—she did it—j.j did it—"
Perhaps because her body couldn't bear the excessive joy, she suddenly had the urge to cry, and she really cried out, "She really did it, woo woo woo, Charles, that girl did it——"
Charles was not embarrassed by Jon's gaffe, because he was also wiping the tears from his face, but after all, this chubby boy was a little more sensible than Jon, and he nodded to indicate to Jon I understood her mood, and patted her on the shoulder, making her look at the stage, "J.J is going to talk, shhh, don't cry—"
For Jon, the world is almost a colorful chaos now. Tears blurred her vision-and her makeup, but she no longer cares whether she has become a panda eye, or a The scarier clown makeup, but followed Charles' instructions, wiped away tears in a hurry, and looked in the direction of the stage again. j.j is about to speak, and she never wants to miss this once-in-a-lifetime moment.
"Ah," she sniffled, still a little dazed. This excessive emotional impact made her feel no joy or sadness, but a little tired, feeling shortness of breath and chest tightness after lack of oxygen, "Why are there so many people on stage?"
For audiences who are familiar with the Oscars, this should be the first time. Before that, the best picture award was received by the producer without exception. However, tonight, although Jennifer only received it from Spielberg Li received a trophy, but the small stage was full of people, the director Salvi Tucci was standing beside her, Judi Dench, Simon Roemer, unfortunately not nominated Kenneth Branagh, and Dominic Cooper as Milton Green - the most 'individual' producer, but the most selfless in insisting that the entire crew come on stage and share the glory.
"Thank you very much to the academy for giving me this award..." When she got out of the hug and finally came to the microphone, Jennifer's blonde hair was already a little messy, and she choked up while stroking her bangs Said calmly, her expression was completely different from the confidence she had just won the best actress, and she stopped halfway through her speech, as if she had forgotten the speech she had prepared to accept the award. "Uh-uh--"
Amidst the audience's smiles and applause, Jennifer looked around, she suddenly passed the microphone to Salvi Tucci, who did not win the award, and said in a low voice, "Quick, for me Buy some time."
This sentence was expected by Jennifer, maybe it should have been a private conversation, but what I didn't expect was that she didn't take the microphone far away, and everyone in the audience heard her pleading for help—a burst of joyful laughter broke out After coming out, the excitement was replaced by joy. Both the guests and the audience seemed to be extremely easy to please at the moment when the group atmosphere reached its peak. They laughed and clapped their hands, giving Jennifer another round of applause.
However, the shy Salvi waved his hands again and again, seemingly having no intention of helping Jennifer, until Jennifer forced the microphone into his hand, and he took it with some difficulty.
"Uh, in fact, I'm so excited that my brain goes blank." His pure British accent immediately aroused another burst of screams and applause. In fact, this young and handsome director still has a reserved expression. It’s not that he claims to be very excited, I’m afraid everyone can’t see how this award has touched him, “All I can think of is the deepest gratitude, this is an excellent movie, and the reason why it is so good is that Most of it is due to Ms. Jefferson by my side, her excellent production ability and performance, thank you, thank you everyone."
After the concise speech, he handed the microphone back to Jennifer Jefferson. Jennifer held the microphone and handed it to Simon, but Simon declined, and she handed it to Judy and Kenneth for help. The actors at the testimonial time graciously refused, and Kenneth Branagh even pointed at her wrist, telling her to hurry up. In the end, Jennifer had no choice but to take the microphone back to her side, and pressed her forehead deeply. He took a few breaths, frowned, and pursed his lips, obviously suppressing his tears. After a while, he said with a slight trembling, "Okay, then I can only write off, I'm very sorry, I mean, I literally memorized the Best Actress speech—I prepared it really well, but the Best Picture speech I just scribbled out, and honestly, I forgot what I was thinking. "
When mentioning Best Actress, her self-confidence aroused people's admiration, love and laughter and applause, and her sincere "apology" afterwards received an unexpected comic effect, and the audience applauded and laughed At the same time, she got up, waiting eagerly, full of expectations for her impromptu speech in such an excited mood - the time has exceeded 45 seconds, but the exit music is still missing, after all, for the grand prize, the organizer has always There is preferential treatment.
Jennifer took another deep breath, and after a brief pause, she snapped, "—Sidney Pollack, that's the first name that popped into my head. At the moment, when Sidney pulled me to my side and indicated that I was the first to speak, I was the same as now, my mind was blank, and I was so nervous that I was going crazy. I knew that my role in "Michael Clayton" was far from Far inferior to Sidney, and his kindness terrifies me, why me? Why are you so kind to me?"
Her voice choked up again, and the audience could easily see that tears filled Jennifer's beautiful green eyes. She blinked, looked desperately at the roof, and calmed down again before continuing. Said, "And to my question, Sidney dismissed, thanked me, he said, 'Answer me with a movie', 'Let me see where you can go', without Sidney , I would never have the guts to make a movie on my own, it was such a lonely and painful journey, there were so many times I wanted to give up, so many times I thought we were **** up, and it was West that got me through it all. Deney, I want to make him proud, I want to show him that I can go this far - I really can. Sidney said to me, 'People say a 27-year-old girl can't do it Good producer, I don't believe it', yeah, Sidney, I don't believe it either, and we really prove people wrong, we really do miracles-"
She no longer hid her tears, and two tears slid down her cheeks—this should be the most exciting time for Jennifer Jefferson among the numerous award presentations, and the scene fell into silence, Kate Winslet covered her mouth, and tears welled up in her eyes. Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Spielberg and other big figures all had solemn faces—they all had the same relationship with Sidney There have been collaborations and even Sidney pushing them to the top of their game.
"And I," Jennifer suddenly stopped talking, leaned towards Judi Dench behind her, covered her mouth in her arms to calm down, and then returned to the microphone amidst applause and cheers of kindness before, with a trembling voice, "And I would trade this award—all the wonders this movie has brought—for the chance to tell you this, for the chance to see it with your own eyes...if God would give more We have a little time..."
Among the sobs, Jennifer took a deep breath. She took the tissues handed over by the staff in the audience, carefully wiped away her tears, and Lihua smiled with rain. "But I still have hope, I still have faith, and I know you're watching me, watching this moment...and we're going to keep going, let the miracles continue, won't we?"
This sentence seemed to give her a lot of strength. She cleared her throat and drank as if talking to herself, "We will move on!"
After regaining her sanity and demeanor, her smile became somewhat patterned, "Besides, I would also like to thank everyone who made the miracle come true, my director Salvi Tucci, thank you You, thank you for your full trust in me..."
Salvi bowed, turned his eyes and looked at Jennifer intently, as if he was thinking about something, but this passage did not arouse much applause-many of the audience's emotions were still at the same level as before. In the grief, it has not recovered so quickly.
"She actually got it again..." In the mansion in Los Angeles, Conrad Temple said in surprise. After all, the young man was stunned. The performance of "Monroe" tonight made the cynical man have to let go of his airs a little bit, admitting that maybe he had bad taste and misread this excellent movie. ——Of course, such a thought just passed by, and he intentionally ignored it.
"Nanny, are you asleep?" Reluctant to continue listening, he stood up and called his grandmother softly—of course Elizabeth Taylor will not be here tonight, and according to her daily routine, watching She should have started to doze off the TV so late, Conrad confirmed this, looking for the remote control and blankets, planning to go back to the room by himself-maybe, just maybe, watch "Dreams" again. dew".
However, as soon as he stood up, he stopped asking questions in embarrassment—Elizabeth Taylor was obviously not asleep, on the contrary, she was very energetic, and only because she was engrossed in watching the TV, that's why she spoke to Conra. There was no response to De's call.
"Uh..." Suddenly realizing that Sidney Pollack seemed to be a good friend of his grandmother, Conrad scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. He carefully observed his grandmother for a while, and couldn't believe what he saw The facts he has learned - in his impression, his grandmother is an old woman with an extremely tough personality, and the complicated life experience has polished his heart of stone. In Conrad's memory, Elizabeth Taylor will not cry because of anything , tears in the eyes will not work, grandmothers should be insulated from tears.
"Nanny..." Carefully picked up the tissue box and brought it to the side of the rocking chair, "Do you need—"
Elizabeth Taylor glared at her grandson and grabbed the tissue box.
"If you want to go, go." She said in a nasal voice with a strong sense of loss, and then she completely ignored the bewildered grandson, and turned to the screen again, frowning slightly, watching intently... ...
"Mom, tissues." Amanda's eldest daughter blew her nose and said to her mother without raising her head. After a while, she sniffed her nose vigorously and looked back Looking at her mother, she was surprised to find that Amanda was holding a tissue box, had already grabbed a few tissues, and wiped her eyes on her own.
"Oh, this is really..."
"My God, my eyeshadow..."
"Sidney did not see the wrong person."
"This is the spirit of what Oscar has been saying. This is completely in line with what Spielberg said just now..."
"...Hoo, Hoo..."
"Dad, stop snoring and go upstairs to sleep."
Except for a few die-hards who are indifferent to this moment of true love, most of the audience in front of the TV are completely attracted, and many audiences who are easily influenced are also infected to cry without knowing the previous situation. Get up, and in the Kodak Theatre, Jon was crying uncontrollably, and if Charles hadn't been reminding her to listen to Jenny, she would have been pinching herself, and she would have used up the whole pack of tissues, but , even so, she has already turned into a big tabby cat, not to mention the eye shadow, eyeliner, even the foundation is completely washed away by tears, it looks funny, but also a little scary.
"God, let's finish it soon." For the thank you list that Jennifer chanted, she has been a little unwilling to listen to it, and now she really hopes that Jennifer will finish it soon, so that she can rush to the bathroom and put Wash off the confusion on your face, and then check with Charles, if you can get into the Vanity Fair afterparty, and have a few words with Jennifer again.
"And Robert, I know you've been looking after me, Bob, it's your help that made all of this come true," the more she said, the more she got into the mood, and in the end Jenny was almost reciting a script Fer finally stopped, she took a breath, and smiled embarrassedly, covering her chest, "But—but don't rush, don't rush to play the music—finally, at the end, I want to thank a special people—”
As if aware of the wrong tone of voice, the audience, who were already a little tired and distracted, fell silent again, and even many audience members who had already sat down stood up again, tiptoeing towards the stage. Jon also stopped wiping her face. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly tremblingly. Before she knew it, her hands had been tightly clenched into fists, and she even felt her hands Her legs were trembling, like the rest of her organs—
Could it be—could it be——shouldn’t be—
"Look——" Charles suddenly bumped into her very hard, barely knocking Jon down, but he didn't care at all, but grabbed Jon's arm and pulled her to him, The tone is also a little trembling and said, "Look! Is that right, is that right!
Following Charles' instructions, Jon looked towards the place she had observed many times tonight, and she heard a light rattle—this was her teeth chattering gently—
——Tonight, a man appeared in the position that was vacant at the beginning and was briefly occupied by Jennifer Aniston, a blond, tall man with a somewhat familiar back. He didn't get up, but looked up at the stage intently, his posture was so reserved, but his appearance made Jon's heart almost jump out of his chest—"That's—that's—"
"When I was a penniless girl, yearning for Beverly Hills a few blocks away, with nothing but my dreams," Jennifer's expression gradually softened, and Golden Globe Just like when she was awarded the award, a subtle and gentle smile appeared on her lips, a mysterious smile, a kind—a kind of smile unique to love, her somewhat red and swollen eyes, and eyelashes with teardrops, let her This smile became more sincere and more touching, "I met him. Before that, I never knew I was special. Although I had a dream, I never thought it would come true one day. It's like walking dead , I lived numb until one day, a man told me, 'Shock me, shake me as much as you can, and I'll make the difference in your life from now on'."
Her smile gradually deepened, and her affectionate eyes were fixed on the seats not far below the stage. 'That person' is not far in a straight line. The live camera zoomed out first, and then—among the hysterical, mostly female screams that gradually sounded—turned to Cesare Vijay, whose popularity has skyrocketed this month and has appeared on the covers of gossip magazines many times Here, circling for a moment on his handsome and calm face—as if obeying the wishes of countless women screaming in front of the TV and in the back area, the big screen was divided into two pieces again, Cesare Vijayri and Jennifer Jefferson's focused eyes seemed to touch each other through the border of the screen. This should have been a slightly chaotic live broadcast scene, but in the display of art on the big screen, it actually showed a few It is romantic and soft.
"And he did, he made the difference in my life, took me on a magnificent journey full of wonder, and made miracles possible," Jennifer said softly, without blinking. Blinkingly looked at Cesare Vigeri under the stage, and this handsome blond young man also looked at her deeply, a smile gradually appeared on his sculptural face, faintly revealing A little tenderness——"Before I met you, I never knew I could do this, I didn't know I could act, I mean, I wanted to act, but I didn't know I could act, the world was to me Saying is full of 'no', full of ridicule, and you...you turn all 'no' into 'yes', you make the impossible possible, you make me, you change me, you convince I..."
She fanned her eyelashes, and a teardrop hanging on it fell down, splashing a moment of reflection in the camera, Jon pressed his heart hard, and stared at everything in front of him almost dumbfounded. Less than 20 meters in front of her, in a group of dazzling lights, all this is really happening, Jennifer is saying, Jennifer is almost equal to, Jennifer is completely—
"You convinced me that I can act, that I can produce, that I can start a company to make my idea come true, that I can invest in charity, and change the world with my hands," Jennifer said, this beautiful With a dreamlike tone, the girl put her hands behind her back, frowned slightly, and smiled brightly with tears, "You convinced me that I am not like my parents, I can really love, really It is possible to have a long-term relationship, even something I never dared to imagine-"
She paused for a moment, and in the suffocated silence of all the audience, she almost reverently spit out the word: "Family."
Cesare Vigeri's expression softened completely. He still didn't get up, but adjusted his posture slightly, and showed a gentle smile to Jennifer. From far away in the theater, screaming waves swarmed , but time also seemed to slow down at this time, the various expressions of the guests seemed to be frozen here, and even Jennifer's movements became slow motion - she took out her left hand from behind, He held the statuette and placed it next to his face, and turned his fist to the front, revealing the gorgeous diamond ring shining on it——

"And I just want to tell you now, I am looking forward to our future, just like I am looking forward to the next movie, looking forward to the next role, I look forward to working with you, keep going forward." Jenny Said, she looked at Cesare, and everyone around Cesare within sight, studied their expressions, felt the weight of the trophy in her hand, and felt calm in her heart: This is her fifth Oscar, and it is her fifth Oscar. The most assured and most deserved award.
Since last year, she has been planning public relations, arranging the schedule, buying the biggest competitor, and reviewing all the details of the marketing plan. To do it, she bought opponents, threatened, lured, tied up, and played games. She personally removed every obstacle leading to the Oscars, and she personally paved the red carpet under her feet. Mark——When she received the call from the college, Jenny knew that these two awards were already in her pocket, and she didn't tell Mary and Jim, just in case, as early as a month ago, she had The result was foreseen.
"Please tell Jennifer that if she has anything to say on the night of the award, please don't say it when receiving the first award."
This sentence from Oscar made her self-imprisoned in the presidential suite for a whole month, canceling all the trips, not giving the media any chance, and whetted everyone's appetite, so she personally planned tonight In the confession scene, she bought this expensive diamond ring. These two awards deserve her to do so. She is not an uninterested collaborator. On the contrary, Jennifer is always very sincere. She knows how to repay the Oscar. hospitality.
All of this has actually happened, and the two prepared speeches have been used. Her performance-according to Jenny's own opinion, can be said to be perfect, but what she didn't expect was that she would be so Calm, holding her fifth statuette, there was no ripple in her heart. In the past, she paid for the Oscar public relations. If she could buy it, she was even willing to spend all her money to buy an Oscar. At that time, she never thought that only a few years later, when she stepped into the venue, she was sure that she would win it. When it comes to two awards, when Oscar takes off the veil and is no longer mysterious to her, the whole Oscar will be so... not exciting, like a game that has been played too many times, like a game that has been read Pulp novels several times, it's like—it's like when she is watching these excited faces, reviewing the amazing events she created, predicting the storms it will set off around the world, and the number of viewers it will affect Feeling, a feeling of being a little tired, a little tolerant, wanting to smile meaninglessly, and at the same time incredibly calm.
The feeling of power, the feeling of control——
——The feeling of a chess player.
Looking at the other chess player, Jenny suddenly realized from his urging gaze that now is the right time, she has waited long enough, if she pauses for a while, the atmosphere will miss the climax .
"And I also know that we will always go hand in hand and go through this long journey of life together." She said, convinced that the emotions she expressed were appropriate: longing, belief, and being dazzled by love. For this scene, she rehearsed so many times that she was able to enter the role in an instant without the help of empathy.
Like every woman who fell in love, she held the golden man and ran down the steps. As the whistle sounded, Cesare hurriedly stood up and picked her upright. He picked her up and let her hug his neck condescendingly. Her hanging blond hair became a curtain, covering everyone's sight.
Jennie bent down and approached Cesare, the overly boiling voice took away all her senses, she could not feel his hug and smell, nor could she analyze and disassemble his expression, the only thing she could be sure There is only one point——
"You smile so stiffly." She said, vaguely distinguishing the closing music playing, and the crazy shutter sound approaching—the party is over, but the fun is just about to begin.
And Jenny advised her fiancé, her former agent and current CEO, "Smile pretty—you know, this photo will definitely be circulated for a long time."
Amid everyone's reluctance, the live broadcast was finally cut off by the cglogo of the Oscar statuette. Tonight's Oscar ceremony ended successfully with an instant audience rating of 53 million. However, Ye is still very young, just like the new actress As Jennifer Jefferson said, the fun is just beginning.
