Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 686 Rampage in Hollywood

"Can such an operation be possible!?"

In the dormitory of Stanford University, Emily, who was watching the Oscars ceremony with Gianna, was stunned for a moment.

As a veteran movie fan who has been watching horror movies since she was a child, driven by her cheating father, Emily naturally knows that previous Oscar awards ceremonies are not without their mistakes.

——Although it is rare to take the wrong envelope and lose the statuette, it does happen occasionally that the awarding guest mispronounces the name.

——Generally, in this case, the organizers of the Oscars will immediately correct it so that the awards ceremony can proceed according to the process.

But what's going on today?

"Even if the envelope that Charlize got is wrong, normally, you should contact the staff to correct it first, instead of just accepting the wrong one, right?"

Emily looked at the TV screen with a strange expression on her face. Juliet Roberts, who also had a big mouth because of surprise, did not expect that the latter, after being stunned for a while, simply stood up and walked away. Get on stage.

"...Okay, actually this is really interesting!"

In the end, Emily couldn't help laughing.

*********

Scenes like this still happen in front of many TV sets in North America and around the world.

——Many viewers were originally shocked when Charlize read out the name "Julia Roberts" when the winner of the Best Actor award was announced.

But after seeing the latter stunned for a moment, he went directly to the stage to receive the award, and everyone reacted.

——Indeed, even if the envelope was given to the wrong person and it did not contain the name of the Best Actor, but since the envelope came from PricewaterhouseCoopers, it must be the winning result of other Oscar nominations!

And at this Oscar, the only statuette that Julia Roberts can win is for Best Actress.

——In other words, the actress with the highest net worth in Hollywood has finally become an Oscar-winning actress! ?

Everyone who reacted immediately felt that the announcement process was very interesting, and hurriedly gathered friends to watch the award ceremony.

——After all, since the envelope was messed up and taken by mistake, there can't be only one wrong one.

——At least, whose name will be read out for the best actress in a while...

"The 'Best Actress' won't be Russell Crowe or Robert Downey Jr., right?"

Emily thought mischievously in her heart, suddenly feeling very interesting.

**********

In fact, because of this mistake, many viewers' expectations for the Oscars suddenly became stronger.

At the same time, the number of viewers of this Oscars, which was originally only 42 million, suddenly soared to 50 million, and there seems to be signs of continuing to climb.

This made current Oscar jury chairman Frank Pierce happy.

——In the final analysis, the degree of authority of the Oscars is closely related to the procedures that attract attention.

Especially since James Cameron won the Best Director statuette in 1998,

Since the peak of the year when "King of the World" was crowned, the ratings of the Oscars have been in sharp decline.

Even last year, there was a rebound in ratings due to Charlize Theron's "live birth" accident after winning the title of actress, but that was just an isolated case.

Of course, this is because among the major Oscar nominees this year, whether it is the billion-dollar box office blockbuster "Sherlock Holmes" or the popular epic blockbuster "Gladiator", they are very popular with the audience and are not the niche movies of the past.

Even Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has attracted much attention because of its ancient Chinese style that is rarely widely accepted by North American audiences.

——Under this circumstance, the ratings of the 2001 Oscars ceremony were actually not low.

——Especially the Best Director nominations, which were postponed to be announced at the end, include major commercial film directors who have received widespread attention and have many fans, such as Charlotte Booth and Ridley Scott.

Frank Pierce believes that this year’s Oscars has the potential to recreate the glorious viewership peak of the 1998 Oscars.

However, he did not expect that the glory would reappear so early——

It was only due to a staff error that Charlize Theron took the wrong envelope, and the latter's improvisation, coupled with Julia Roberts's improvisation, actually created a huge ratings peak.

"Don't rush to correct your mistakes. Just try to determine the big mystery of the best director and it will be revealed at the end. The rest will be left to the stars to improvise!"

Frank Pierce issued new orders to his men who were thinking about how to correct their mistakes.

"Occasionally making some interesting mistakes like this should make the Oscars more interesting - after all, both the presenter and the recipient are actors, so let them perform well!"

——At this moment, Frank Pierce waved his hand, but his demeanor was full of the word "chairman".

**********

However, what Frank Pierce didn't know was that he was now able to "wave his hand" largely thanks to Charlotte's support.

——After all, the staff at the Oscars ceremony are not stupid. If Charlotte hadn't blinded them with a spell and made their reaction half a beat slower, how could they not stop Charlize?

Even Julia Roberts went on stage to receive the award early as if she was a part of it, actually because of this.

——Who told Oscar to play this trick not once or twice?

——Since no staff came out to stop it, it means that this so-called "mistake" was either tacitly approved by the staff or arranged in advance.

——In this case, all the celebrities have to do is cooperate.

And when it comes to acting together, being able to appear at the Oscars is a worthy achievement.

After all, the Oscars are an annual gathering of drama stars!

Anyway, because of Ovelia's prank, Charlize's improvisation, Charlotte's "help", Julia Roberts' cooperation and Frank Pierce's acquiescence, the style of this Oscar Awards ceremony suddenly changed. .

Take Julia Roberts for example!

Although she was a little unprepared because she unexpectedly learned that she had won the title of Best Actress, when she walked to the stage, "Big Mouth" had already performed a performance worthy of the title of Best Actress——

As soon as she walked onto the stage, she covered her mouth, looking like she wanted to vomit but couldn't.

"Are you OK?"

Naturally, Charlize, who presented her with the award, could only ask with some concern.

"Do not worry!"

Roberts waved his hand.

"This is not morning sickness. I won't give birth to a baby in the middle of accepting the award like the last Best Actress!"

"..."

Whether in the Holy Auditorium or in front of thousands of television screens, everyone who knew what happened when Charlize won the award last year couldn't help laughing.

Even Charlize herself had a smile on her lips.

Of course, her counterattack also followed——...
