Chapter 502 Sleepless Tonight
In the past ten minutes, Roger Albert didn't know how he survived. He almost used all his strength to control the thought of jumping over and smashing the big screen opposite, and sat calmly in front of the live broadcast camera. .
But he has stopped speaking, leaving his partner Rope alone to speak there.
Rope is a very competent host, constantly using words to arouse the audience's interest and guide them to continue to pay attention to the awards ceremony.
The number of viewers is directly related to the advertising costs of his abc TV station at the next Oscars ceremony.
Roger Albert next to him was a little different, but Rope didn't have the time and energy to care about him. Duke Rosenberg in the Kodak Theater was far more important than him, and it was more related to his own job.
Just as everyone expected, Duke Rosenberg won this year's Oscar for best director. It can be said that it deserves its name, and it can also be called the return of the king...
Hearing his partner's constant praise, Roger Albert had the urge to take off his shoes and stuff them into the other's mouth.
Fortunately, Rope stopped after saying a few words, because the awards for the best picture are about to start!
Ladies and gentlemen, here's Steven Spielberg.
Billy Christo retreated to the corner of the stage, Spielberg quickly walked to the microphone, the Jewish old man will award the best picture!
People always say there's a reason for saving the best picture for last, it's the sum of all the elements of a movie, and the end of a journey always begins with a dream...
The old man didn't seem to want people to wait, and spoke very fast, This year, these dreams are inspired by the Lord of the Rings trilogy based on Tolkien's novels, and the spectacular novels based on Aubrey and Mathurin...
The string of words was finished in a few short sentences by him, and then he introduced. The following are the nominees for Best Picture - Lost in Translation, Ross Katz and Sofia Coppola; Katherine Kennedy and Frank Marshall, The Age of Galloping; Charles Rowan, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Duke Rosenberg; Clint Eastwood and Robert Lorenz in Mystic River; Harvey Weinstein and Dukan Henderson in Battle of the Seas.”
Spielberg opened the envelope and read out the answer without the slightest surprise, The winners are The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Charles Rowan and Duke Rosenberg!
The atmosphere in abc's live room was a little more relaxed because the live TV was switched to the Kodak Theater, but that didn't include Roger Albert. The famous film critic stared straight at the opposite big screen, looking like a deformed goldfish.
In the live broadcast room, some people are retouching makeup, some people are checking equipment, and they are all preparing for the live broadcast commentary after the awards ceremony.
Roger Albert's face became more and more red, and the blue veins on his forehead were beating rapidly with a small amplitude and high frequency. He faintly heard a lot of voices of discussion.
One Oscar, twelve statuettes, Duke Rosenberg set a record!
So many people looked down on him before. Now there is nothing to say.
Rope next to him is also hurrying to read the next stage of the line, which is a plan a live broadcast by abc TV, which means that abc TV also thinks that Duke Rosenberg and The Return of the King will win big at the awards ceremony. Total victory.
The king is coming to Oscar, Duke Rosenberg's twelve-year road to consecration...
Hearing Rope's low reading voice, Roger Albert suddenly had an idea that they are all traitors! The whole world betrayed him!
ABC Television, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Media and the Public. All a bunch of shameful traitors!
The anger that was suppressed in Roger Albert's heart burst out at this moment. The old-fashioned film critic's face was as if he was drunk, and his face seemed to be dripping blood.
The next moment, Roger Albert also felt a drunken dizziness. The one person opposite him suddenly turned into two, and the figures became more and more blurred. Even if they were less than four feet apart, they couldn't see each other's faces...
At the same time, there was a strange noise in Roger Albert's head, as if something was broken, and the blurred vision suddenly turned to darkness. The whole person slanted to the side.
Mr. Albert!
These were the last words Roger Albert heard tonight, Call the doctor, call the ambulance!
In the Kodak Theater, Duke stepped back on the stage. He looked at the place where the Lord of the Rings crew was sitting, and waved to the members of the team frequently, indicating that they all come up. After Charles Rowan stood up, he was also doing the same job. .
According to the rules of the Oscars, there are only two producers who can accept the award on behalf of the crew, but the award for the best picture is neither the director nor a certain producer, but everyone who participated in the production process of the film!
This is a team award!
Why does this award always appear as the finale? Because movies are never the result of one person's efforts, but the fruit of a huge team working together!
Charles Rowan, Anna Prinz, Hannah Serena, John Schwartzman, Mike Dawson, Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, Billy ?Boyd and Ian? McLean and other more than a dozen crew members, all stepped onto the stage of accepting awards!
Even though the film didn't get any acting awards or even a single acting award nomination, it's an honor everyone deserves!
Everyone in the shooting process contributed to the success of this trilogy!
The two golden statuettes representing the best picture were handed over to Duke and Charles Rowan respectively by Spielberg. Duke just said 'thank you all' and gave the place to Charles Rowan .
It's an honor to stand here. I got into this business thirty-five years ago, starting with delivering coffee to directors.
Not lacking in humor, the veteran producer gave Duke a deliberate look before turning to tonight's host, I think I dated Billy Christo's cousin many years ago. Make me win today...
There were bursts of laughter in the theater, and Charles Rowan was clearly better at mobilizing the atmosphere than Duke, who had little sense of humor.
On the other hand, Billy Christo was also quite cooperative, shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands, making a very innocent expression.
When joke time was over, Charles Rowan continued, It's a pleasure to work on a great team, and I'm very excited to be working with such a great director as Duke, to be nominated along with four other films, and to finally be nominated after so many years. Winning the award is a real surprise for all of us.
I want to thank all the actors and people behind the camera for this film, and I want to especially thank my partners Warner Bros. and Duke Studios. My beautiful daughter Danielle and my 87-year-old father are waiting in the back with We celebrate together. I want to thank Tolkien and the fans who supported us, as well as Doug Walter and Jeff Robinoff, for their hard work that enabled us to make this film.
He turned his head to look at Duke, In the end, it's Director Duke Rosenberg, he's never 100% satisfied, he's always looking for 110%, he inspires all of us, and does the best he can. Do your best to make these movies and get them on screen!
At the end of the awards ceremony, the doors at the backstage were fully opened. All the winners who won the golden statuettes took to the stage tonight, and the 76th Academy Awards Ceremony came to an end.
The awards ceremony is over, but for the winners like Duke, Oscar is far from over. Since he left the backstage, he has become the target of the media and reporters, and his limelight even overwhelmed Sean. ? Pan and Charlize? Theron two people.
Duke is very clear, and it is no wonder that these reporters are so excited. The past best director and best picture winners are often faced with an embarrassing problem.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy is different. The global box office of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King has exceeded 4 billion US dollars. It is not only a big win at the Oscars, but also a record. Twelve little golden figures.
How could the person who single-handedly create this miracle not be welcomed by the media?
Not to mention the relatively slow response speed of traditional media, the relevant comments on the Internet have already boiled down at the moment the awards ceremony ended.
Norman Miller turned off the TV and put all his energy on the Internet. Using his instant sharing account, he quickly typed out a sentence.
Great! Great victory! Congrats Duke, congrats on the Lord of the Rings trilogy!
Afterwards, he entered the homepage of the instant sharing website, which was almost swept away by Oscar-related comments.
Twelve years of waiting, Duke ushered in the greatest victory!
This is a great feat comparable to Titanic and James Cameron!
Twelve nominations, twelve statuettes, and a 100% winning rate. Besides our Duke Rosenberg, who else can do that?
Celebrate, folks! Celebrate our Lord of the Rings, and toast our favorite Duke! No sleep, no drunk, no sleep tonight!
Turning off the computer, Norman Miller put on a coat and hurried to a movie-themed bar closest to his home. He wanted to join the carnival until dawn!
For many people, it was a sleepless night.
The emergency room of the University of California School of Medicine was pushed away, a doctor strode out, and Roger Albert's agent rushed to meet him.
Mr Albert is out of danger.
Hearing this sentence, the agent breathed a sigh of relief, but the doctor then said, In view of Mr. Albert's physical condition, I personally recommend not to work any more in the short term, it is best...
He hesitated for a while, but still said, It's better to retire, find a quiet place, maintain a stable mood, and have a long rest. (To be continued. .)
ps: Ask for monthly and recommended tickets!
