Chapter 784: Fang Long wins the Lifetime Honor AwardOscar likes to play tricks, which not only reflects his humor and friendliness, but also adds some heat.
After the red carpet ceremony, the live broadcast camera suddenly turned back to outside the venue.
The Chinese audience also started watching from here. The domestic broadcast directly cut out the red carpet segment, except for the time when Chen An's crew and Fang Long appeared.
Then the commercials played.
The scene was cut back only when the red carpet ceremony officially ended and the main show began.
The popular singer Justin Timberlake is also called "Boss Justin" by his domestic fans.
While following the camera, he sang the famous single "Can't Stop the Feeling!"
Fans at the scene and before the live broadcast cheered, the Oscars are always entertaining.
He sang one sentence after another, and the camera followed him all the way from outside the venue to inside.
The live music started at the same time, and as the camera moved and he sang and twisted his body, the guests present also stood up and applauded.
The camera also recorded this scene, and it seemed that everyone was very happy.
The celebrity guests sitting in the aisle appeared in the camera with smiles on their faces.
There was no Chen An or others.
Listening to the young people in the crew singing along, Wen Yongshan sang along with the beat: "I can't take my eyes up off it moving so phenomenally~
You gon' like"
"Can you sing? Is he popular?"
Chen An didn’t know much about them, but judging from the looks of them, they should be good.
Wen Yongshan asked in surprise, "Director, don't you know him?"
"I don't know him at all, but the song sounds okay." Chen An shook his head.
Liang Jiahui interrupted, "It's normal not to know him. I don't know him either, let alone Director Chen."
The topic ends here.
Justin Timberlake sang all the way from the red carpet outside to the stage, swaying left and right, and the guests still cooperated and stood up, applauding and listening.
Then he walked down the stage to sing again, with the camera panning in front of him and the guests in the front row.
Matt Damon, Nicole Kidman, Denzel Washington and others flashed by one by one and appeared in front of Chen An and others. Several people greeted the camera, and Chen An smiled and applauded.
The song ended and host Jimmy Kimmel took the stage.
Everyone started to sit down.
Jimmy Kimmel, wearing a classic black and white suit, opened the show by saying, "Justin, I really hope that NS can see your performance and invite you back to the group again."
Then he spoke for more than ten minutes on the topics of racial discrimination and unity.
As a talk show he hosted.
This is the Oscars, the most entertaining of the internationally renowned awards.
Then name some of the nominated guests one by one.
"Finally, there's Chen, a frequent Oscar attendee who comes much more often than I do." Jimmy Kimmel spread his arms to make a hug gesture: "We are old friends."
"But I can only interview him on the show before he makes a movie that earns a billion dollars at the box office and wins an Oscar. It's such a pity."
"At least I tried my best to promote Little Miss Sunshine and District 9 for him. They are both excellent movies."
"I hope he can create the miracle that the media is talking about today, just like The Last Emperor."
Chen An was also very cooperative in interacting with the other party.
In the early years, I had appeared on each other's shows several times for movie promotions and we had a good chat.
When the camera turned to him, he waved at the camera and gave a thumbs up.
It was not until Chen An finished his speech and Jimmy Kimmel's talk show lasted for ten or twenty minutes that the film festival awards ceremony officially began.
This is also the reason why he actually prefers the Golden Globes to the rows and rows of Oscars.
There is food and drink, and at least you can take a break.
It was normal for Li An to rush out to eat a hamburger after winning the Oscar. It was normal for him to run out to eat a hamburger after winning the Oscar. He could not even drink water during the award ceremony for several hours. He was really too old to bear it.
"It finally begins."
Chen An watched as the clips finally began to appear on the big screen.
Zhang Ruojun asked: "What kind of award is this?"
The big screen showed clips of the award-winning works one by one, but without much introduction. Those who watched it often could tell the difference at a glance.
Chen An: "Best Supporting Actor."
"Shall we go to the character award first?"
Zhang Songwen was a little surprised.
Chen An explained: "The Oscars are not fixed. The only fixed awards are Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Director and Best Picture."
Although the Oscars are an important award for publicity technology.
But the four awards that have always been used as the finale also implicitly show that the Oscars also consider these to be the real heavyweight awards.
The guest who walked onto the stage to present the award was last year's Best Supporting Actress winner Alicia Vikander, a Swedish actress who looked like she was of Latina descent.
Introducing the five nominated guests.
The final winner of the award was "Moonlight" actor Mahershala Ali, who is also the famous musician in "Green Book".
Although he is a hey guy, Chen An thinks his voice is still very attractive, and his performance in "Green Book" is very emotional.
The contrast between the hey-guy gentleman and the white thug is quite interesting.
Next came a series of technical awards.
From Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Costume Design, Documentary Feature, Sound Editing and Sound Effects.
Then there was another music performance called "How Far I'll Go". If you didn't know, you would have thought it was a Grammy performance.
Singer Auli'i Caravagho came on stage to sing the interlude and ending song of "Moana".
Zhang Ruojun lost his initial excitement and murmured, "I feel a little bored."
"I told you not to use a filter. It's just an award ceremony. It's long and boring."
This is Chen An’s evaluation, not just for the Oscars, but for most award ceremonies.
"Brother Fang Long is behind us. Do you think he will win the prize?"
People were singing on the stage and the audience were chatting.
Although they didn't meet each other on the red carpet, everyone knew each other's presence.
Although the other party is very old, he is still well-known both at home and abroad.
"The fact that he was invited here even though he was not the guest of honor speaks for itself."
Liang Jiahui doesn’t understand the Oscars, but he knows a lot about film festivals, and feels that it’s almost certain that the other party won the award.
The song performance ended, and the next award to be presented was the one everyone had just been talking about, the Oscar Lifetime Honorary Award.
Actor Vince Vaughn took the stage and quickly announced the winners, calling them 'legends in film history'!
They are the two directors Lin Stammaster and Frederick Wiseman, the editors Anne Cortes and Van Loon!
Although there were four winners, the one who appeared the most on the big screen was Van Loon!
Countless clips from Hong Kong Island’s heyday appear on it, including climbing buses, jumping off buildings, climbing trees, and so on.
The camera switched to show that several award winners were sitting together in a small corner building on the second floor, different from the ordinary guests.
Applause broke out, and previous winners of this award appeared on the stage, including many big names who have left their names in film history.
Liang Jiahui clapped his hands in the audience and said thankfully: "Big Brother really deserves the title, and so do the other guests."
"In fact, when it comes to influence, even Hollywood can hardly compare with him," Chen An continued.
Bruce Lee started the Kung Fu film industry, but most of Hong Kong's true peak glory was concentrated on Fang Long.
Box office is not the only influence. Fang Long’s fame and popularity have spread all over the world with the popularity of Hong Kong films.
