Hollywood Road

"Hello, Murphy."

Facing the cameras of the reporters and the media, Harvey Weinstein opened his arms again. Murphy did not hesitate and stepped forward to hug him, as if the two were still partners a few years ago.

"Director Stanton..."

There was a question from a reporter, and Murphy was not interested in being interviewed, so he deliberately invited, "I'm going to the theater, are you together, Harvey?"

"Okay, let's go together."

Of course, Harvey Weinstein would not show weakness, and immediately followed up, walking beside Murphy. The two ignored the reporters' questions and went straight into the Dolby Theater. The problem is that the transformation of several VIP rooms has not yet been completed, and the people who entered first are basically waiting in the front hall of the theater.

Entering the Dolby Theater and seeing no one else coming, Harvey Weinstein said with a smile, "The recent situation is not good for "Diego Ross". The rumors about you and the leading actor are not true, are they?"

"Is it important whether it's true or not?" Murphy shrugged first, and then said tit-for-tat, "The media is full of praise for you, Harvey, you are a master at running the Oscars."

He sighed, "I thought about it, Oscar is indeed going to be named after you and Bob soon, and only by following you can you have meat at the Oscars. I should let Weinstein Films release this film."

Harvey Weinstein's mouth curled up into an inexplicable smile, "You should have thought this way a long time ago, Weinstein Films was an Oscar winner in the past, it is now, and it will be in the future."

"Really?" Murphy shrugged, "There is no permanent winner in this world."

"Hehe..." Harvey Weinstein lowered his voice slightly, "You will soon understand what useless work is!"

After speaking, he didn't give Murphy a chance to speak, turned around and went straight into the main hall of the Dolby Theater.

Compared to him and the entire Weinstein film industry, Murphy Stanton is just a latecomer. He has accompanied him so many times in the past, and he has not even touched the threshold of Oscar!

Those media hypes did have an impact on him, but relying on these specious things, do you want to compete with him? What a joke!

It's the Oscars! Not a summer file!

"It is impossible to form a fatal blow based on the hype in the media alone." Murphy knew this very well, so he whispered to Gal Gadot, "These public opinions will have an impact, but the impact will not be particularly large. We The truly effective attack comes from other sources."

Gal Gadot knew exactly what Murphy was talking about, those secret descriptions, if you don’t pay special attention, I’m afraid it’s hard to detect, Harvey Weinstein doesn’t seem to know at all, his Oscar victims in the past have formed A hidden anti-Weinstein alliance.

Murphy looked at the front hall. There was no one of his own crew, and he pulled up Gal Gadot, "Let's go in too."

In the main hall of the Dolby Theater, many people have already come in. Murphy quickly walked to the front row. As a film nominated for ten awards, the crew of "Diego Ross" was assigned to a very front position. The second row slightly to the left of the center of the stage.

"You're finally here." Robert Downey Jr. saw Murphy, stood up and said, "I thought you ran away."

Murphy asked Gal Gadot to sit down first, and then said to Robert Downey Jr., "I'm still waiting for you to win the Oscar for Best Actor."

"Who knows if I can get it." Robert Downey Jr. also sat down, "My advantage is not obvious."

"It's more likely than mine."

Margot Robbie walked over from the entrance of the hall, just in time to hear Robert Downey Jr., she sat down next to Gal Gadot, "I'm the least likely to win Best Supporting Actress .”

Gal Gadot smiled and comforted him, "How old are you, there are still many opportunities in the future."

Afterwards, more crew members entered the main hall of the theater. Except for Jody Griffith, the members of Murphy's team,

It's almost complete. Jody Griffith did not participate in the editing of this film due to personal reasons. The editing of the film was done by Murphy himself, so the best editing nomination for "Diego Ross" is counted in the on Murphy.

The time for the awards ceremony was getting closer and closer, and the Dolby Theater gradually quieted down. Many people, including Murphy, turned their attention to the stage.

The entire stage is extremely gorgeous, and the academy obviously spent a lot of thought.

People like Murphy naturally understand that even if it is Oscar, there will be no output without investment. In recent years, the influence of Oscar has been declining, and the academy has always wanted to reverse this situation.

In some respects, Oscar is also a business, directly related to the academy's income.

Not only the academy, but also a business for the film companies participating in the Oscar competition.

As we all know, the Oscars is the biggest public relations battle in Hollywood every year. The box office revenue of Oscar-nominated films alone will at least increase by millions of dollars, while the films that win the best actor, best director or best picture, In North America alone, it can increase the income ranging from US$2000 to US$5000 million, and this is just the box office. Counting other copyright income, it will undoubtedly be more.

For actors and directors who win awards, it is inevitable that their salary and social value will skyrocket. For example, after the black actress Halle Berry won the 74th Oscar for Best Actress, her salary for "Catwoman" skyrocketed almost Fifty times, it was only a failure of one film, and it was beaten back to the prototype.

The sound of music sounded from below the stage, and he felt Gal Gadot pull him, Murphy came back to his senses, and applauded along with the warm applause in the theater.

"ladies and gentlemen……"

A strong voice sounded in the theater, "Welcome Mr. Morgan Freeman."

Morgan Freeman, in a black dress, walked out from the left side of the stage, stood on the far left side of the stage, and said loudly, "Compared with the first awards ceremony in 1929, movies have been very different, but every generation of movies There is one thing that never changes, whether it is live-action or animation, black and white or color, sound or silent, we are all intoxicated in the magical world of movies."

He winked his eyes slightly playfully at the bottom of the stage, and continued, "A grand event like this allows us to toast to today and stop and remember the glory of the past. This is the 84th Academy Awards...the awards ceremony ceremony!"

Following Morgan Freeman's last words, the big red curtain above the stage slowly opened, revealing the big screen behind, and then Billy Crystal appeared on the screen, in the classic Billy Crystal style Cameo starts again.

"Wake up quickly, we are waiting for you."

In the film "Descendants," George Clooney tells a sleeping Billy Crystal, "We're all waiting for you to come home, and that's where you belong."

Then he kissed it.

Billy Crystal opened his eyes.

He started appearing in every nominated film, Moneyball, The Artist...

In the end, Billy Crystal stood in a dilapidated house in downtown Los Angeles. This is a recognized classic long shot in "Diego Rose". Billy Crystal replaced Robert Downey Jr. The figure displayed in the door frame was hesitant, and the picture of the fallen angel behind it turned into a huge poster of the Oscar statuette.

"I choose to go this way..." Billy Crystal monologues, "or do I go that way?"

The carriage sounded, and Billy Crystal came out of the house.

A young man stuck his head out of the carriage and greeted Billy Crystal, "Let's go, I'll take you with me!"

"Who are you?" Billy Crystal asked loudly.

The man showed his face, "I'm Justin Bieber, they asked me to help you reach the young audience of 18-24 years old!"

"it is good!"

Billy Crystal got into the carriage, and the carriage went straight to Hollywood.

There was warm applause from the audience, and it must be said that Billy Crystal is the most outstanding host of the Oscars ceremony in the past 20 years.

"Billy Crystal, please!"

The applause instantly became more enthusiastic.

"This is my ninth time hosting the Oscars..." Billy Crystal's stand-up time is up, "I just filed for bankruptcy on behalf of this theater!"

He started with Kodak's bankruptcy and the renaming of Hollywood and Highland Center.

"While we're hosting the Oscars and creating lasting memories, we're also feeding lifelong resentment!"

Billy Crystal, after a serious discussion of the 'stick and ball' on the next three lanes, added, "We're here tonight for the entertainment, because the cure for the pain of the world's economic problems, mo It's too much to watch a group of millionaires award each other statuettes!"

There was another burst of laughter in the theater. Although this year's Oscar-nominated films are relatively dull, Bill Crystal's personal performance is still outstanding.

As far as Murphy is concerned, he alone is much better than the combination of James Franco and Anne Hathaway last year.

Although James Franco is his good friend, he is very talented in funny and absolutely versatile, but not everyone can do a good job as a host.

"Tonight is full of stars, and the first award presenter is..."

Billy Crystal stretched out his hand towards the backstage exit, "Two-time Oscar Best Actor, Mr. Tom Hanks!"

Tom Hanks stepped onto the stage. Unexpectedly, he sprained halfway and became limping in the second half of the way. Fortunately, the problem was not a big problem. He persisted until the microphone side.

"Every Oscar is special! Tonight is no exception." Tom Hanks finished the routine string of words, and went to the topic, "Tonight's first award, best cinematography..."

Below the stage, Murphy turned his eyes to the location of the crew of "The Artist" on the other side of the aisle, and found that Harvey Weinstein was watching him, and the two separated immediately after their eyes met slightly.

With both films receiving this nomination, the competition is on! 8 For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
