[US Entertainment] Kise's Hollywood Diary

According to the usual practice, after the host warms up, he will start talking about the main topic.

At this year's awards ceremony, Billy Crystal sang "Tonight is a glorious Oscar night, Oscar—who will win the Oscar?" with an exaggerated tone and serious expression, walking to the edge of the seats .

Still muttering: "Yes, this year's trophy is also gold! Although it is made of titanium, it is at least gold. Our Oscar night will be broadcast live in 56 languages, although only in the Los Angeles area—"

This big turning point made everyone laugh. Vincent pursed his lips, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

On the stage, Billy Crystal's string of words continued, he clapped his hands and said: "Let me remind all first-time nominees that you must tip the host," he said, and he nodded vigorously: "This is rule!"

The camera followed Billy's steps to Charlize Theron's side, "Charlize Theron for the first time! Oh Charlize, you look gorgeous! But in the movie, you are so scary Fuck the crap. I can't believe you're in such a horrible role. Look at you, it's unbelievable."

"Casa-Caster-Hughes, the first time to be shortlisted, only 13 years old." Counting the sum, Billy showed an unbelievable expression, and then he touched his chin with a tigery face, "13 years old? You are not qualified to have three names."

"Johnny Depp is here, one of the sexiest men in the world." The camera turns to "Captain" Johnny Depp, this sexy man today has a hair... er... some indescribable, slightly greasy Even so, the captain is still charming

"Did I just say it out loud?" Billy covered his mouth and opened his eyes wide, "Johnny Depp's nomination for the role is Jack Florenty's nightmare! Because he's gay in gay pirate!"

As soon as the camera fell in front of Vincent, there was a lot of booing at the scene, because everyone wanted to see how Billy Crystal would make fun of a little fresh meat.

"Vincent Landmore, ummm... I don't dare to mess with you, because you are a young, only 20-year-old, energetic guy who can write articles for the New York Times and boxing horse races. Young man! Thank you for your kindness, you look too handsome tonight!"

The audience roared with laughter, Vincent still pursed his lips, restraining the corners of his mouth from turning up.As the object of being ridiculed by the host, if he himself collapsed from laughter, he would not be able to entertain the public at all.It is to make such people who are being ridiculed look embarrassed and depressed, so that the public can be more changed.

Before the end, Billy Crystal looked a little distressed, he raised his hand and touched his chin, "You seem to have that kind of plan, don't you? Vincent, I will definitely find a way tonight Make you laugh your ass off! Come on—”

There was another burst of laughter at the scene, and the camera finally cut away from Vincent.

Next, Billy Crystal sang the song "Mystic River" again, and at the end of the song, he walked directly to the director Clint Wood's side, and even sat on the old handsome guy's lap, " Ah~ Clint Eastwood, you're still going strong!"

The old handsome guy had to show a dumbfounding smile, and then Billy sang his heart out: "Please—stop—singing!"

This concludes the introduction to Best Picture nominee Mystic River.A long series of libretto came out of the actor-born Billy Crystal, as if returning to the stage of the stage play, from "Lost in Translation" to "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", all contained by Billy In the libretto, it was sung, which also included a lot of gossip jokes.

The main line of the screenwriter is confusing, and the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is so long that people have downloaded it all night.

This long list is enough to amuse the whole house.

"Sea~cake~dry~"

"He's a horse! He might win an Oscar, or he's out of luck! He's going to make a dinner out of his breast meat, will he win, or will he lose? Should we bet on it? Let's ask Pete— Rose! Because only he knows~ Oh, Pete Rose!"

You must know that Pete Rose was a popular American professional baseball star before it was revealed that he was suspected of gambling.

After the opening ended, the official awards ceremony came smoothly. The winner of the last Oscar for Best Supporting Actress came in a fiery red dress to announce the best supporting actor for this year.In the end, Tim Robbins of "Mystic River" won Best Supporting Actor.

This is the opening ceremony of "Mystic River", which is almost like repeating the opening ceremony of the Golden Globes.The actor who won the Best Supporting Actor first left his seat and hugged his wife and children, and then hugged the crew one by one before going on stage.

Compared with the image in the play, at this moment, the reality of Tim Robbins is unbelievable. He chatted endlessly from the director, screenwriter, staff, parents and teachers, nominated opponents with him, wife and children. After talking about a long list, he didn't lick his lips until the audience burst into laughter, and came off the stage holding the trophy.

This actor, who should have received his own statuette 10 years ago, is only now getting his first Oscar too late. The dedication and sadness of the past 10 years cannot be seen by everyone, but they envy and envy him The scenery standing on the podium at the moment.

Vincent gave his applause with his expression unchanged.

In any case, even with Billy Crystal's hilarious opening, the Oscar night entering the award ceremony will inevitably return to that dead atmosphere.

But the serious Oscar also has a similarity with the Golden Globe Awards, that is, everyone will only focus on those award units with actors and directors. As for the best soundtrack, best sound effects, best makeup, and best costume design The category's behind-the-scenes awards barely made much of a splash.No one cares who picks up these "less important" trophies, they may only play a little role in the counting.

Let the crew who may return empty-handed not shave their heads, and let the crew that has already gained a lot be icing on the cake.For most, that's what those behind-the-scenes awards do.

But without these excellent behind-the-scenes workers, it is like having a good woman and rice, but lacking a good pot.No matter what kind of job it is, whether it has a big name or not, the role of these workers in an excellent movie will never be less than people imagine.

Gorgeous actors and directors are not enough to produce excellent works, but films that can enter the Oscar list must have top-notch behind-the-scenes staff in the industry, whether it is costumes, soundtracks, sets, editing, sound effects, etc. Can do the best, so that the film works as a whole presents a better effect.

In the years since the financial crisis of the last century, the North American film market has been calling for lower pay for actors, both openly and secretly.You must know that for some crews whose production costs are actually not high, actors' remuneration is actually almost the majority of all production costs.

Just imagine, if the part of the salary that was cut off is invested in post-production, it will undoubtedly improve the quality and standard of the film. Under such a virtuous circle, it can also stably promote the development of the Hollywood film industry.

But this is just a very perfect ideal state-first of all, an actor who has worked hard for many years to get a high salary is generally unable to accept a low salary that is lower than what he should have. The income is more a symbol of status and identity in Hollywood, such as the famous 2000 million dollar club.

Salary is a prerequisite for motivating actors to hone themselves to be more excellent and competitive in film works. Actors have high salaries, not all of them are used to indulge in fun-a high-ranking star has behind him A huge team needs to be fed, not only that, but also needs some foreign objects in line with one's status to decorate the facade: luxury houses, jewelry, sports cars, famous watches, etc., which one does not need to spend US dollars?

With the issuance of technical awards one after another, "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" has become a professional household for technical awards!

When the Best Actress Award was presented, Chris Cooper, who had worked with Vincent for more than half a year in "The Pentium Age", was awarded the Best Supporting Actress as the Best Supporting Actor last year. The trophy - repeating the Golden Globes, Renee Zellweger ended up with this trophy.

Just like Tim Robbins, who won Best Supporting Actor, Renee Zellweger, who has been nominated three times in a row and only got her wish this year, also has a long list of acknowledgments, which is incredibly long.What is even more incredible is that the actress was able to read them all in one breath.

During the long and dull awards ceremony, there was a song and dance performance interspersed. During this time, Vincent was finally able to relax the expression on his face. He sat in the middle near the corridor, which was not bad. There were several people from the crew of "Lost in Translation" sitting behind, including Scarlett Johansson.

The two exchanged a few glances and expressions across a not-so-narrow corridor. Although the main camera on the scene was focused on the singing and dancing performance on the stage, there were still countless cameras capturing the performances of the guests.

Vincent seems to be particularly favored by close-up shots tonight. The movements of the young man raising his brows and pursing his lips in boredom, and even moving his facial muscles with a pout are perfectly captured.

"Vincent's close-up quadruple kill! Tonight's awards ceremony is aimed at this! The academy doesn't say anything, but they still like him very much!"

"I yawned when I was bored, although it was better than last year."

"Clint seems to be kind to the young actor. He just turned his face and joked with Vincent when he talked about the sea biscuit stalk."

At this moment, there are two other people sitting in front of the TV, watching the live broadcast of the Oscars ceremony.

"This kid is indeed outstanding." Tobey Maguire put down the potato chips in his hand, clicked his lips, and praised, "Look, even if the camera shoots him from an angle from above, this face, The angle of the upper body and the straight back are still impeccable."

"You ate the last bag, Toby, so tomorrow you have to tell Schulte that the potato chips here belong to your smuggled goods, and I haven't touched them at all!" Leonardo He squinted at his friend, and said coolly.

"All right, you've stayed at home for more than three months, I don't believe you didn't hide a bag? Oh, I noticed that your refrigerator is clean, Leo, you don't usually touch those skimmed product."

"Can't you watch the awards ceremony in peace?"

Toby shrugged, "Okay, you were the one who disliked the quiet atmosphere before and asked me to talk about the lively atmosphere, and now you are the one who dislikes me being noisy and tell me to shut up. Come on, Leo, you are because you don't have any new works this year, Are you annoyed and anxious about missing awards season for a whole year?"
