Chapter 195: Big Brother Xiao Lizi
Movies are a great invention and a dream-making project.
From the birth of film, Chaplin to Hitchcock, to Spielberg and George Lucas, to Ridley Scott, James Cameron, Little Gilbert and others.
Generation after generation of filmmakers have produced films that are different but equally classic.
This allows the audience to have some thoughts while maintaining physical and mental pleasure.
Hollywood is undoubtedly the center of the world's film industry, and the Oscars are the highest stage in this center.
In addition to the post-production of "The Sixth Sense", based on demand, little Gilbert also attended gatherings of Hollywood Jewish Clubs, Producers Alliance, Directors Guild, Italian Gang and other circles from time to time to canvass votes for himself.
Judging from the results, the effect is remarkable. Almost all the judges who talked to Little Gilbert and have the right to vote for the Oscars said that they would definitely vote for Little Gilbert.
For her part, Sofia asked her father, director Francis Coppola, for help.
As an Italian, Director Coppola was very helpful and put in a good word for little Gilbert to the Italian judges.
Of course, just saying nice things is not enough.
Although she could not bribe all the judges, for those key figures, after Sheena Boone understood their preferences, she arranged gifts and sent them to them in a targeted manner.
If ever, Gilbert Jr.'s impeccable public relations efforts have been effective.
However, after the Weinstein brothers joined the Oscar battle, the difficulty of winning an Oscar has increased exponentially.
Although there are more than 6,000 Oscar judges, sometimes for the sake of balance and cake sharing, even a film with more votes may not win the award.
After all, voting is not open and transparent. No one knows the specific number of votes except internal members of the academy.
After the voting deadline, the votes are tallied, and the winning list will be sealed and handed over to a specialized insurance company for safekeeping.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the Oscars ceremony that the insurance company escorted the envelopes containing the winners' names to the site and handed them over to the Academy.
This set of processes and mechanisms is quite complicated, and the real operable space lies in the counting of votes.
At this Oscar red carpet ceremony, Gilbert Jr. attended with Charlize Theron.
Compared with Naomi Watts and Cameron Diaz, who have successful careers, Charlize Theron is relatively famous, but she still needs more opportunities to show her face.
However, Naomi Watts and Cameron Diaz are not idle either. Both have received invitations from the academy to serve as award presenters.
On March 24, the 69th Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Temple Theater in Los Angeles.
The famous talk show host Billy Crystal will host this Oscar ceremony. This is his fifth time as the host of the Oscar ceremony.
Since March 19, people have been camping in the stands in the entrance area outside the Temple Theater. For those fanatical star-chasers, this is really an opportunity to feast their eyes.
Not only can you witness the celebrities you admire most, but you can also experience the world's latest popular hairstyles and fashions. No matter how hard it is, you are willing to endure it.
Over the past few days, more than a thousand people have spent the night on the ground here, waiting for the awards ceremony to catch a glimpse of the charming style of the stars who entered the ceremony.
It can be seen that the fans chasing stars in North America are also crazy.
There is no doubt that those top Hollywood stars are the ones who receive the most attention. Little Gilbert happens to belong to the ranks that receive the most attention.
"Are you nervous?" Gilbert Jr. asked Charlize Theron before walking on the red carpet.
Charlize Theron touched her chest, felt the beating of her heart, and then said: "I'm still a little nervous, so many people are watching.
"Don't be nervous, Sally." Little Gilbert smiled: "Slowly, you will get used to this scene."
"No, I'm not nervous for myself." Charlize Theron hugged little Gilbert's arm and said, "I'm nervous for you."
"Are you nervous about me?" Little Gilbert was stunned: "What are you nervous about?"
"You were nominated for an Oscar for Best Director, what if you don't win?"
"If you can't get it, just wait until next time!" Little Gilbert was in a good mood and didn't look nervous at all.
Charlize Theron looked speechless: "You are so calm and not panicked at all. This is the most important moment in your life."
"No," little Gilbert shook his head and said, "For me, the most important moment in my life was when I got the opportunity to direct for the first time.
If I hadn't gotten the opportunity to direct, I wouldn't be where I am today. After that, whatever happens is a matter of course to me. "
Charlize Theron carefully considered Gilbert's words, but before she could figure it out, the red carpet arrived.
When walking the red carpet at the Oscars, a crew usually walks together. Of course, if there is a popular star like Tom Cruise, he will usually choose to walk the red carpet alone with a female companion.
Of course, Tom Cruise had no choice but to walk the red carpet with Nicole Kidman, so little Gilbert had much more choice.
If he wanted, little Gilbert could even bring a San Fernando Valley porn star to the red carpet.
But little Gilbert didn't do that, and behaved himself.
As a very popular director, Gilbert Jr.'s cheers are no less than those of other A-list stars, and may even be louder.
The previous incident of Madonna's declaration of love has not yet passed. Fans went crazy when they saw that little Gilbert brought another unparalleled beauty with slender legs to attend.
However, fans who know Charlize Theron have long known about the unclear relationship between Charlize Theron and Little Gilbert.
After walking the red carpet and briefly accepting an interview, Little Gilbert took Charlize Theron into the awards ceremony hall.
As soon as I walked in, Harvey Weinstein walked over.
He glanced at Charlize Theron next to him, a little envious.
Then he withdrew his gaze and said to little Gilbert: "You know, little Gilbert, we are all the favorites to win this year's award. Do you know how the awards are awarded?"
"I don't know..."
Harvey said: "The best picture will go to 'Saving Private Ryan,' the best director will go to 'The English Patient,' and the best actor and actress will go to other films."
"It seems that you have been nominated for an Oscar, Harvey." Little Gilbert still had the same indifferent tone.
"Do you believe this result? Why don't we make a bet." Harvey suggested.
"What bet?"
"If all my guesses are correct, how about letting me run your next film?" Harvey said.
Just because of this matter, little Gilbert wants to hand over the movie to Harvey Weinstein? Not to mention that little Gilbert was unhappy with this damn fat man, even if he wanted to hand it over to him, Disney would not agree.
Robert Iger is a well-established figure at Disney, while Harvey is an outsider and is responsible for the independent film business.
What do you want to do in the live-action film distribution business?
So little Gilbert decisively refused: "I'm sorry, Harvey, I can't make this bet. You should know the reason." Knowing that little Gilbert was not that easy to fool, Harvey was not disappointed either.
He turned to Charlize Theron and said: "Ms. Theron, are you interested in an Oscar? How about cooperating with Miramax Pictures?"
"Sorry, Mr. Weinstein." Charlize Theron hugged little Gilbert's arm and declined: "I am very happy now and have no intention of breaking into the independent film industry."
"Ah, that's such a shame." Harvey said, twisting his belly and walking away.
Charlize Theron frowned: "Is he serious? Inviting me in front of you?"
"Seriously, maybe Harvey is interested in your potential, Sally." Little Gilbert smiled.
Charlize Theron decisively stated her position: "I don't want to have anything to do with him. Oscars are not everything."
In my mind, this South African diamond did win an Oscar, but little Gilbert forgot the name of that film.
However, Charlize Theron's image in it is shocking, similar to the sacrifice made by Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Revenant".
It proves from the side that it is indeed not easy to win an Oscar, especially for actors, it is impossible not to be a little perverted.
This also explains why Tom Cruise couldn't win an Oscar. He couldn't play abnormal roles because of concerns about his image.
However, there are exceptions to everything, and Oscar, who is not normal, sometimes has a rare moment of normalcy.
The awards ceremony soon started, and the host Billy used his excellent eloquence to tease a number of award-winning movies and nominees.
The humorous language and unique American humor made the whole audience laugh.
Little Gilbert was also mentioned, and Billy said this: "If you ask who is the most capable among Hollywood directors, you can't tell.
But if you want to ask who is young, capable, and liked by many beauties, it must be little Gilbert.
Look at our young director, there is always no shortage of beauties around him. Last time it was Madonna who showed her love in public, and this time she is with Miss Theron. "
No one thought there was anything wrong. They did it voluntarily. This is their freedom and you have nothing to do with it.
Madonna also came to the scene today. She will have a performance assignment later. Seeing little Gilbert sitting in the front row, Madonna is determined to have a big revenge and go back.
Recently, she had a falling out with Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman, which made her feel very uncomfortable. She couldn't go back without retaliating.
After some banter, the award ceremony officially began.
Usually in order to attract the audience's attention, the first award presented is also a highlight, usually for Best Supporting Actor.
"The English Patient" did not win this award, and "Saving Private Ryan" was not nominated, so this award went to Cooper Gooding Jr. of "Sweetheart".
This is a black actor. Although the trend of ZZ correctness has not yet begun to spread, the black community in Hollywood has had great opinions in recent years. Giving this award to a black actor is also a conciliatory move.
Then there are several technical awards, basically one for "The English Patient" and "Saving Private Ryan".
Doyle Randolph and John Schwartzman jointly won the trophy for best cinematography, and "The English Patient" won best art direction.
Then "Saving Private Ryan" won the best costume design, and "The English Patient" won the best sound effects.
The two films present a brawling mode, with occasional other films participating, but the limelight is quickly overshadowed by the two films.
After the Best Original Song award was awarded to "Mrs. Peron", Madonna went on stage to perform. When she came on stage, she also checked the position of little Gilbert and wanted to make a big move for him.
When Madonna sang and walked off the stage with a sexy catwalk, little Gilbert had a premonition that something was not going to happen.
It happened that Little Plum was nearby, and Little Gilbert said a few words in Little Plum's ear, and Little Plum nodded.
Sure enough, Madonna walked up to little Gilbert and started dancing around him, completely ignoring Charlize Theron.
The fiery dance made the whole audience scream and whistle non-stop.
Madonna repeated her old trick, pulling little Gilbert's hand to her waist and leaning against him.
Although she was performing in high heels, Madonna still had to look up to see little Gilbert's face. After singing a line, Madonna was about to kiss little Gilbert's mouth.
This is the lip she has been thinking about for a long time. Will she finally succeed?
At this moment, an accident happened. DiCaprio on the other side took action and pulled Madonna into his arms. Then he moved up and kissed Madonna passionately.
"Wow," Charlize Theron was stunned. She had just been told by Little Gilbert not to act rashly, and he had asked DiCaprio to block it.
But I didn't expect that Xiao Li's way of blocking was so special.
After a wet kiss, DiCaprio was very good at kissing, but she was still not as good as Madonna, and she almost died.
Madonna was sneak-attacked by Leonardo DiCaprio and was unable to attack Gilbert Jr., so she had to retreat to the stage to complete her final performance.
This kiss from Leonardo DiCaprio shocked the audience for a long time, and the ratings of the Oscars have increased. It is conceivable that the news tomorrow will be very lively.
After Madonna got off, Charlize Theron admired: "Leo, you are so awesome, you can even get down on Madonna."
DiCaprio's expression was exaggerated: "That's the queen. As soon as little Gilbert said it, I agreed. It would be so honorable to have the opportunity to kiss the queen."
Seeing DiCaprio's triumphant look, Charlize Theron was speechless.
At this time little Gilbert thanked: "Thank you, Leo, tonight would have been terrible without you."
"You're welcome," DiCaprio seemed to be reminiscing about the kiss: "Madonna is indeed well-deserved. If I have a chance, I will practice with her a few more times."
"Then you have to be careful, be careful not to get squeezed dry by her."
"Don't worry, I am young and strong, I will definitely be able to conquer her." After finishing speaking, DiCaprio was still very surprised: "Why are you so reluctant to sleep with Madonna? What a great thing."
"Personal pursuits are different, Leo."
DiCaprio suddenly realized: "I understand, you like young ones, not too big ones. That's not right, Sophie Marceau is also thirty, and you have also had a relationship with her..."
Looking at the chatty little Leo, little Gilbert felt helpless and could only remind him: "Leo, this is an awards ceremony, please be careful."
"Oh!" DiCaprio then noticed that he almost told all the romantic past of little Gilbert, and Tom Hanks on the side listened with interest.
But Leo is still young, and he doesn't know the whole story. Little Gilbert doesn't have the habit of showing off, saying that he has had relationships with several women.
DiCaprio, on the other hand, did not shy away from any beautiful moments he had with any woman, and even showed them off to little Gilbert. In this respect, DiCaprio and Madonna are quite similar.
Although their personalities and living habits are different, it does not prevent Little Gilbert and Little Plum from becoming good friends. After all, these close friends are really good at it when something happens!
