Chapter 152 Award Presentation

Under the blue sky of Las Vegas, on the green lawn outside a small church, it seems that a wedding is being held. Read novels on mobile phone, update simultaneously\\!{'}The groom in a black suit and the bride in a beautiful white wedding dress are shaking hands and looking at each other sweetly. Behind them is a 1.8-meter-high A huge wedding cake, with a few tables and chairs in front of it filled with food, sitting family and friends in formal clothes.

But on the right side of the lawn, there is a long guide rail. The camera is installed on a mobile car and aimed at the wedding scene. Wang Yang sits on the photographer's seat in the car and uses the viewfinder to determine the angle of the lens; On the other side of the lawn, Harry George was operating another film camera to shoot, and everyone in the film crew also performed their duties.

This is a speed scene. When the hangover trio tracked down Stu's marriage, they were attacked by an unidentified muscular gangster on the side of the road, and then were chased and killed. After frantically chasing and fleeing for a while , the trio driving a police car crashed many signboards, vehicles, etc. In order to get rid of the gangster's sports car, they rushed to the small church on the side of the road, flew across the lawn, and ruined the wedding ceremony of the innocent couple. It was a mess of destruction.

Wang Yang originally planned to find a wooden church to crash into. The trio drove a police car into the church frantically, smashing countless chairs and passing through the wall, while the priest in the church screamed in fright. Get up... But Las Vegas does not have such a suitable wooden church, even if it is possible, it will not be agreed to be destroyed, and it will take a long time to build a new church.

So instead it was outside on the lawn, the police car crashing past the huge wedding cake, and the wedding in progress.

"OK, is everyone ready?" Wang Yang put down the viewfinder, picked up the loudspeaker and said with a smile, "Everyone, finish the filming early, and we still want to enjoy the wedding." Harry- George's loudspeaker: "It's fine here." Everyone around responded, Wang Yang nodded, and shouted into the microphone in his hand: "OK, n"

After receiving the signal, the police car parked far away started to move. It is not difficult to shoot this group of shots, but it is more cumbersome. Each type of different angle shots needs to be taken apart to shoot, such as shooting the expressions of the three people in the car from the front of the car, shooting from the rear of the car, and shooting from the rear of the car. There are expressions and behaviors of the bride and groom, etc., which need to be photographed several times to collect materials.

The windshield of the police car has been smashed full of cracks, the left side mirror is gone, and a wooden sign is stuck between the police lights on it. Panicked voice: "Everyone go away, go away and the police do business—"

Seeing the speeding police car, all the people attending the wedding screamed in astonishment, got up and dodged hastily, and the bride and groom threw themselves onto the lawn with an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh""arrive.

Capon, bang... the police car knocked the tables, chairs and benches into the air,

The food plates on it fell down one after another. Amidst the screams of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Cream and other objects splashed in all directions, smashing the entire front of the car and the windshield.

Everyone on the lawn stared in shock at the police car that disappeared around the corner in front of them. After a few seconds, they cursed angrily. The groom with cream cake all over his head stood up and cursed: "Damn you, I must file a complaint." I remember you all"

After shooting all the shots of this part, the crew will shoot the next shot on the road in the afternoon, which is also the last work of the police car part. For this reason, the crew needs to use a crane camera car. Looking at the picture on the monitor, through the car window, Wang Yang looked at the police cars driving together outside, picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "Guys, n"

"Oh my god, oh my god..." In the police car, Ed and Bradley were so frightened that they still hadn't recovered, and the baby in the back seat was crying loudly. very loud. Zach with a dull face wiped the cake stuck to the car door, put it into his mouth and ate it, nodded and said, "I hate Chuck's Cheese Shop, but it's pretty sweet."

Ed made claws with his hands frantically, and shouted as hard as he was about to cry: "What the hell happened to him?" Bradley in front of him took a deep breath and said, "Calm down, calm down, everything will be fine." Yes, OK? What’s the fuss?” Ed yelled furiously, “You’re the only one who can calm down, K. We were almost shot to death just now, almost killed someone, calm down.”

At this time, the baby next to him was crying louder and louder. Ed took a deep breath, made a downward movement of his two index fingers, turned around to comfort the baby, and said, "It's okay." But the baby continued Crying loudly, Zac took out a bride doll in a wedding dress and stuffed it into the baby's hand, and the baby opened his eyes suddenly: "Huh?"

"Where did this come from?" Ed asked with some doubts, Zach pointed out the car window, and said seriously: "I don't know, she was flying outside just now, and I caught it."

Time passed day by day, and the filming process of "The Hangover" was advancing rapidly with laughter every day, and the interpretation of the trio became more and more handy, completely letting go of themselves to be funny. Seeing such a strong and funny chemical reaction, Wang Yang was naturally very happy, and decided to reshoot some of the previous scenes where they were young and could act better now, so as to get the best hilarious effect.

Soon to March 24th, a grand event in the film and entertainment industry will be held, and that is the annual Oscar Awards Ceremony.

This year's Oscars party will be held at the Kodak Theater, which was only completed last November.

And this year's media prediction awards, and the voices of film critics are very scattered. Of course, the loudest voice of movie fans is "Lord of the Rings 1: The Fellowship of the Ring", wishing it could sweep all the awards; but the media are not optimistic There will be such a shocking change in the Oscars, and they are more optimistic about the academic orthodox "Beautiful Taobao Women's Wear, Tmall Taobao Mall, Taobao Women's Winter Wear Jacket m Soul".

In the best actor competition, Russell Crowe, who was nominated for the third consecutive year, is the most popular, and Denzel Washington, who has performed brilliantly in "Training Day", is also popular; for the best actress, for the first time Nominated Halle - Berry and Nicole - Kidman are the most concerned about the hot.

In addition to the nominees who will be present, the guest list for the party is also star-studded, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman... 3,000 The 500-seat auditorium was filled with countless first-line superstars and stars, and Wang Yang will also attend this grand ceremony as an award presenter.

Two months ago, when he received this invitation from the Oscar organizers, he was very surprised. It seems that he was completely regarded as a "popular star", but in fact he is indeed a somewhat popular "idol director". So is it best original screenplay or best director? Or maybe best song or something? When he smiled and agreed, but a few days ago, something even more surprising happened to him, he actually wanted to present the best actress award.

The night has already fallen in Los Angeles. Under the auspices of black actress Whoopi Goldberg in the star-studded Kodak Theatre, the gala presented awards one after another, with applause, cheers and happy and excited thanksgiving. sounded.

"Lord of the Rings 1" won four technical awards, including best photography and best makeup.

At this time, the party came to the final stage, and the Best Actress, one of the four main awards, was about to be awarded.

Amidst the applause of more than 3,000 people, Wang Yang, who was dressed in a handsome black suit, walked out from the side of the stage with a smile, holding the envelope containing the award results, and came to the microphone in the center of the stage. Quiet. The length of this party will reach 4 hours, and every award presenter will naturally have to say something.

"I'm very glad to be standing on this stage." Looking at the people in suits and evening gowns in front of him, Wang Yang smiled and glanced at the familiar faces. Jessica, who was smiling happily, and Natalie, who was very interested , Will Smith with his family... He smiled again: "But it's a pity that he is holding an envelope instead of a statuette." Everyone smiled lightly, and Wang Yang shrugged again: "It's even more frustrating. Unfortunately, the person written inside the envelope can never be me."

In the Kodak Theater, there was a burst of laughter, and there was a burst of shouting. Natalie laughed and applauded, and laughed in her heart: "It must not be the only thing."

"The best heroine is always beautiful Taobao women's clothing Tmall Taobao mall Taobao women's winter clothing jacket m, smart, funny, kind, cute..." Wang Yang continued talking, one by one good words to describe women methodically After being said, applause and laughter gradually broke out in the audience of the audience, and he continued without taking a breath: "He is generous, a good cook, a good daughter, a good girlfriend, a good wife, a A good mother, a good grandma must also be a self-reliant and independent woman..."

The laughter in the audience lasted for a long time before it gradually stopped. Wang Yang raised the envelope with a smile, looked at Jessica who was covering her mouth with her hands, and said with some doubts: "Then we are awarding the best award. Actress, or best woman? I don't know, but I know that every nominee, no nominee, and all women, as long as they have one of the above advantages, are the best actress in their own lives , and they always have."

Immediately there was thunderous applause from the auditorium. Looking at the crowd applauding below, he leaned closer to the microphone and said quietly: "No, I didn't say that women are always acting." Suddenly the applause turned into laughter, and both men and women were overjoyed, haha The decibels of laughter set a record for the Kodak Theater Oscar party.

When the laughter subsided slowly, Wang Yang said with a smile: "Let's take a look at this year's list of nominees for Best Actress, Halle Berry, "Dance of the Dead." As he spoke, the big screen behind him The movie clips of the nominees were played on the screen, and there was a burst of applause from the audience. Halle Berry, who had short hair, also applauded with a smile on her face. After the clip was played, Wang Yang read again: "Judi Dench, "Life Together."

The applause and cheers below suddenly became louder. The 67-year-old Judi Dench is a respected and legendary British actress, who has won numerous British Academy Film Awards for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress Or a nomination, which is also her second Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

"Nicole Kidman, "Moulin Rouge." Nicole Kidman's charming dance was put on the screen. Amid the applause, Nicole smiled calmly. Wang Yang finally read: "Sissy Spacek, "The Edge of Accident"... Renee Zellweger, "BJ's Diary."

After reading the entire list of nominations, under the attention of more than 3,500 people in the audience, Wang Yang opened the envelope in his hand, and the big screen was divided into five grids. Halle and Nicole looked very serious, and Judy With kind smiles on their faces, the other two knew that they were here to run with them, so they smiled very normally.

"The winner is." Wang Yang took out the result in the envelope, glanced at it, and understood why the organizer asked him to present this award. He smiled and announced: "Halle Berry, "Death Row" "The Dance"" After that, he smiled happily and applauded for her.

But before he finished his words just now, the passionate soundtrack sounded on the scene, and the audience applauded and cheered frantically. Many people stood up to congratulate her. Halle Berry was surprised that the first black Oscar queen was born. I was completely at a loss, holding the hands of my left and right friends tightly, and kept saying: "Oh, my God, my God..."

She seemed so excited that she couldn't even stand up, hugged and kissed the faces of her friends next to her, and after a while, amidst thunderous applause and screams, she staggered onto the stage, murmuring in disbelief: "Is this true? Is this true?"

Wang Yang took the statuette from the hands of the staff, and stepped forward to give her a light hug, but Halle Berry hugged him tightly excitedly, looking like she was about to cry, Wang Yang whispered in her ear While congratulating, she said: "Congratulations, your performance is really great, and you deserve it." Halle Berry laughed with a choked voice: "Thank you, thank you..." After a while, she was able to stand firmly and let go. After leaving him, he handed the statuette into Halle Berry's hands, and stood aside applauding.

"Ah, ha, ah..." Halle Berry held the statuette tightly in her right hand, with a smile on her face that was about to cry, and blew a kiss to the audience with her left hand, choking so hard that she couldn't speak: "Oh, Oh my god..." The crowd in the audience gave her applause and cheers, she covered her stomach and forehead, sobbing and still couldn't speak: "Oh, God... Woohoo, ahhaha... …I'm very sorry……"

She took a few deep breaths, tried hard to adjust her mood, and finally, she struggled to say a complete sentence: "This moment, it is so significant, compared with it, I am so insignificant... …this moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horn, Diane Carroll. It’s for women of color like me, Jada Pinkett, Angela Bassett, Vivian Wicca Fox..."

It took a long time before Halle Berry finished her 4-minute continuous acceptance speech excitedly. Wang Yang and her laughed and walked backstage.

When the 74th Academy Awards Ceremony came to an end and all the awards were settled, Russell Crowe became this year's Oscar Best Actor with "Beautiful Taobao Women's Clothing Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Coat M Soul"; Taobao Women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Coat M Soul also won the best film, and Ron Howard's best director, becoming the biggest winner this year.

Afterwards, media reports naturally emerged endlessly, and in some lace comments, Wang Yang was also unanimously selected by many media as "the most interesting award presenter this year". It was also mentioned in the Oscar topic of the entertainment section of the "Los Angeles Times": "Amazing Yang personally showed his humor on the Oscar stage this time, and his short talk show-style words even made people think that he was the host. people."

On the second day after the Oscars ended, Wang Yang continued to return to Las Vegas to film "The Hangover", but there was another basketball event that caught his attention in March, which was the AA National Championship, but Southern California He was eliminated in the first round early in the morning, and he also switched to supporting the promising University of Maryland. In the championship game on April 1, the University of Maryland really lived up to its expectations and defeated Indiana State University to win the championship.

Flame Films also bought the 120-second advertising space of the championship game, and played two different 30-second trailers of "Sweetheart" and "Ice Age" respectively. The "Ice Age" has done enough TV publicity. Of course, the publicity work is not limited to this. Anne-Fletcher, Jessica, Scarlett, Michael Pitt and other main creators of "Sweetheart" have already started city touring publicity activities, accepting exclusive interviews from local media, visiting local TV shows, and some fan meetings.

In terms of cooperating with the publicity work, Wang Yang, the producer, can be said to be quite dereliction of duty. He only recorded a talk show with Jessica in Los Angeles, and then stayed on the happy set every day to play.

In the bright and spacious casino of the Caesars Palace Hotel, the various gaming tables are still full of tourists and gamblers, with cheers and sighs one after another. A long time ago, the film crew had negotiated with the hotel that they could shoot in the casino without disturbing other gamblers, but it turned out that the hotel's concerns were unnecessary, and no one paid any attention to their film crew. , The gamblers who are intoxicated in gambling simply don't know that they are making a movie.

"Haha, K Blackjack, he's finished, he's finished." Bradley, in a suit and leather shoes and with smooth hair, was full of excitement. Facing the direction of the camera, he raised the middle fingers of both hands, bouncing and yelling at the same time. Shouting, "K-U, K-U"

Sitting in the middle of the gaming table was Zach, who was wearing a white suit and had one swollen eye. He looked at the poker cards on the table with a serious face, and his lips moved slightly, as if he was Counting cards. Next to him sat Ed Helms in the same suit and leather shoes. He was dressed like a successful businessman, and next to him was Charlize Theron, who was wearing a red evening dress and was glamorous. Seeing the cards that the croupier dialed out, a total of 19 points, Ed clenched his fists and shouted: "YES"

"The dealer's 23 points, it's busted." The croupier dealt a few cards expressionlessly, and amidst the screams of the crowd, he dealt out the chips.

Joshua and Wang Yang, who were dressed in casual attire, played the role of gamblers at the table. He looked at Fatty's pile of chips as high as a hill, and said enviously: "Oh my god, what luck have you guys had?" Bradley rubbed Zac's hair excitedly, and said with a smile: "Yes, he is our lucky charm, lucky charm." Zach still had a calm face, calmly said: "Next ten thousand." "

Bradley tossed out 10,000 chips and shouted dancing, "Please, everyone, he can't afford to lose, he can't afford to lose." Ed nodded, pointing at the white croupier, Confidently said: "Although I don't know who you are, I want to say that you are finished." Wang Yang also pushed all the chips out with a happy face, and said: "K, I followed."

Looking at this familiar scene, Joshua almost couldn't help laughing. He hurriedly looked at the long recording microphone pole over there, and a camera with a fixed frontal angle, which was carried by Harry George on his shoulders. A camera that captures close-ups, distracting myself. He glanced at the mature and sexy Charlize Theron again, and sighed secretly: "If that Scarlett is as beautiful as her, no matter whether she is a dancer or not, I will definitely not divorce."

At this time, the croupier sent out the cards that the prop master had already lined up one by one. Ed and Charlize got 10 and K. Said: "You're screwed!" Zach got A and J, and it was another blackjack. Bradley behind him raised his hands like crazy, and shouted: "K-U, your casino is going to be finished, it's over"

Wang Yang couldn't help laughing watching the crowd's performance. Fortunately, his cards were also dealt out at this time, which were 9 and Q. He laughed loudly and said, "What the hell is going on with shit?" This gambling table is not the main character, and these hip-hop shots are just a warm-up. In the near future, he will come back here again to shoot a cool movie.

Of course, we may not be able to return here at that time. For many casinos in Las Vegas, card counting is a taboo. The current hotel managers don’t know that the shots they are taking are counting cards. They think it’s just ordinary gambling.

"The dealer's 22 o'clock, it's a bust." The croupier said with a dead face, and the gambling table suddenly went crazy. Everyone won a lot of chips, and they screamed with joy: "K" Only Fatty Zach continued to look indifferent, and his palms seemed to feel the martial arts. The Heaven's Strongest Abandoned Young Master Zhou Royal Family's Martial Qiankun General Night Kills God's Sealed Throne Seeking Demons Overlord the Ninth Heaven Heaven's Strongest Abandoned Young Master Zhou Royal Clan's God-Building General Night Kills God's Sealed Throne Seeking Demons Overlord the World Nine Heavens' Strongest Abandoned Young Master Zhou The royal land is pressed on the gaming table.

"CUT" Wang Yang stood up with a smile, gave everyone a thumbs up, and said, "They all acted very, very well."
