Chapter 864: Oscar’s Traps and Opportunities

The host is Steven Martin, a veteran comedian. Many famous comedians have hosted the Oscars that day. After all, comedians are more suitable for adjusting the atmosphere in terms of hosting style. This time, it’s Steven Martin’s first time hosting the Oscars.

At this time, he was still a little nervous backstage. This is allowed. He can be nervous backstage, but when he gets to the stage, Martin must show his professional qualities. He is the mobilizer and organizer of the atmosphere at the scene. Therefore, one must be able to suppress the situation.

Backstage, Edward, the vice chairman of the organizing committee, a fat old man with a white beard, came over and said: "Dear Martin, you don't have to be so nervous. In fact, the Oscars are not as serious as you think. You have to pay attention to adjusting the atmosphere at the scene. , don’t be silent.

You understand this. Martin immediately said firmly: "Don't worry about this, Mr. Edward, I will try my best to achieve this." "

It would be a lie to say that you are not nervous, but you cannot show it on your face. Edward also nodded and said: "That's fine. If you can host it very smoothly, then under such circumstances, we will consider inviting you to host next year. Remember to go on stage yourself. Just do whatever you want to do in the end.”

At this time, Martin hesitated for a moment and said: "Isn't this a bit too much? We have already arranged a Chinese Kung Fu performance. This is the first time that a Chinese Kung Fu performance has appeared at the 73rd Academy Awards ceremony. Let's I think it's a bit unrealistic for the actors from the crew to perform. Deliberately forming grudges is a taboo in the childbearing age."

Martin, who has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, knows this very well. Even if Chinese movies don't have much influence in Hollywood, under such a situation, Martin is not willing to offend.

Edward said with a smile: "This is not an offense, it is a test, a test for Ye Ming. Ye Ming is going to enter Hollywood. Although we don't know when he will come, it is said that there should be no problem this year. Although Ye Ming did not come to Hollywood directly, his influence in Hollywood is also very large. He first joined William Morris, and later directly joined the Creative Artist Management Company and collaborated with Warner Bros. on Harry Potter. This is not an ordinary person. He did it, and he is so young. Many people, including Spielberg, want to know what kind of person Ye Ming is and whether he is suitable for a starring role or a supporting role."

An actor must be responsible before he can be a protagonist. If he has no responsibility at all, he will be a supporting actor for the rest of his life.

Martin nodded and said, "Really? Maybe. I heard that Spielberg is going to shoot a new movie, and there will be a role for Ye Ming, so do you want to pay attention to what kind of person he is? Orientals, generally They are relatively reserved. They are all people who sweep the snow in front of their own door and don't care about the frost on other people's tiles. I am also looking forward to seeing what Ye Ming will do this time.

Let me first explain that the stage is my stage. If he can perform on stage, I will let him sing a song as compensation for him. Otherwise it won’t be worth it if I offend others. "

If you can have an opportunity to perform at the Oscars, it is very rare.

Therefore, in such a situation, Martin's words are quite cunning. He will not do things that offend others easily.

Think about it, if you don't give Ye Ming some benefits, he may not perform on stage. Therefore, Edward nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you this opportunity. But you have to promise not to show any trace and don't involve us. How about it?" You know the group.”

The Oscar Awards Ceremony officially started. At this time, Martin walked up with a smile and said: "Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the 73rd Oscar Awards Ceremony. First of all, I wonder if we should change the opening. The way, because this year is a bit special. Next year’s Oscar ceremony will be permanently located at the Kodak China Theater. Moreover, this year’s Chinese movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is also a very good movie. There are also many colleagues from China this year. , we welcome our Chinese colleagues with warm applause to attend this grand awards evening."

As expected, Martin is a good at mobilizing the atmosphere. Therefore, in such a situation, he directly raised the topic to his Chinese colleagues. Not only did he give Li Yu and other Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon crew a face, but also , it will be something that can be directly brought up to perform on stage later.

Sure enough, Martin waited until the applause fell and said with a smile: "Everyone's enthusiasm is beyond my expectation. So, when we mention China, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Porcelain, yes, porcelain, and Kung Fu, China Kung Fu is a sport that I really like.

Especially in the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, we appreciated the high level of Chinese Kung Fu. Everyone must be looking forward to what the real Chinese Kung Fu looks like.

I wonder if Director Li Yu can introduce it to us. "

Isn't this a direct introduction to kung fu from the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon movie without leaving any trace?

Although this did catch Li Yu off guard, at this time, Li Yu stood up very calmly and said, "It must be because I didn't drink coffee with Martin when we met yesterday, so he came to take revenge on me. , when it comes to making movies, I can talk about it, but when it comes to kung fu, I am not an expert. Martin, you should know that I am a liberal arts student. It is a bit difficult for you to ask a liberal arts student to talk about this.

However, there is indeed an expert in our crew who can tell everyone what Chinese Kung Fu is. This person is Mr. Ye Ming, played by Luo Xiaohu in the movie.

Mr. Ye is a mysterious Chinese Kung Fu master, the most powerful Kung Fu master I have ever seen. He didn't use a stand-in when filming the movie, he did all the filming himself.

Now I think it’s better to invite Mr. Ye to tell me what kung fu is, right? "

Li Yu is indeed a liberal arts student who doesn't know much about kung fu, but he knows that professional things should be left to professionals. For example, nowadays, the big thing in the profession is kung fu. That professional The person is Ye Ming.

Ye Ming stood up more convincingly, and Li Yu could believe that Ye Ming would bring him and everyone present a huge surprise.

At this moment, Zhang Ziyi actually had a bit of a sour taste. At this time, it would be quite difficult to show up at the Oscars. (To be continued)
