1471 1471 Wheelchair man
The first suspense of the Oscars tonight was officially announced, and the competition between Hugo and Brad ended with a tie.
After all, Brad was unable to replicate the miracle created by the "Schindler's List" two years ago. The powerful momentum that had been rising before came to an abrupt end tonight. This not only made Martin Baum's calculations and planning over the past few months disappoint, but more importantly, Brad's top work, which was the "Twelve Monkeys", stopped at the position of "Excellent Work" rather than "classic". In terms of box office and influence, it was not as good as Tom Cruise's "Top Gun", and in terms of awards and reputation, it was not as good as Hugo's "Schindler's List". This is undoubtedly a huge loss for Brad's long-term development in the future.
Of course, Brad undoubtedly formed the leading figures of Mesozoic actors with Hugo and Tom Cruise. Hugo is currently slightly ahead, but its future development is full of infinite possibilities. The future competition of these three top male actors is bound to attract more attention.
However, Brad was not the focus at this time. Even his unconcealed stiff expression was "lucky" not discovered by anyone, because everyone turned their attention to Kevin Spacey on the stage and Hugo under the stage. However, for Hollywood artists, is it really lucky to have no attention, no focus, no hot discussion and ignorance?
With the announcement of the Best Supporting Actor Award, people's inner speculation suddenly became hustle and bustle. What does this mean? Does it mean that an unprecedented vote-scoring crisis will lead to Hugo returning empty-handed tonight? Or does it mean that the gathering of "death prisoners" in concentrated votes will become the help of Hugo's top actor?
It can be said that the Best Supporting Actor Award does not belong to Hugo, which is unexpected, but also expected, because all the awards related to Hugo tonight are full of countless variables, and the voting direction of more than 5,000 college judges is completely unpredictable, which also makes the process of the award ceremony even more exciting.
However, Hugo didn't have time to think about these things at this time. After Kevin's award speech was published, the staff appeared and quietly led Hugo towards the backstage. Next, Hugo was responsible for hosting a special link.
When he came backstage, Hugo saw Robin Williams and Sandra Bullock who were preparing to present the awards. Hugo stopped his steps, exchanged a few simple greetings with the two of them, and then followed the staff into the standby room. A short and strong man who was only as tall as Hugo's chin came towards him. He had a silly smile on his face, which seemed to have a good temper, and he looked like he was smiling when he saw anyone.
The other party almost ran into Hugo head-on, but he braked quickly, paused himself, and then fought against inertia, taking a small step back, "Sorry, my mistake."
Hugo was not scared by this accident, but was slightly surprised by the other party's developed motor nerves. Then Hugo saw the man in front of him. His huge nose and slightly funny appearance immediately attracted Hugo's attention, which made his pupils slightly magnify.
When the other party saw Hugo's dazed, he thought he was scared by himself, but he still smiled and stretched out his right hand, "It was my mistake just now, I'm really sorry. When I first met, I was Jackie Chan."
"No, I'm fine." Hugo was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his right hand, held the other party's right hand, and snatched it hard, feeling the force coming from the wide palms. "Of course, of course, Jackie, I know you are Jackie Chen. When you meet for the first time, I am Hugo Lancaster."
Hugo's words made Jackie raise her chin unexpectedly, "All Hollywood people know Hugo, it's natural, but how do you know me? I'm Jackie Chan, not Bruce Lee (b-breast ce.lee). Jackie's words were a little self-deprecating in their relaxed words, which made people laugh.
"I know you, of course I know you." Hugo couldn't help but smile.
Of course he knew Jackie Chen. I believe that not many Chinese people around the world knew Jackie Chen. This martial arts superstar who brought Chinese martial arts movies to the world is the most famous Chinese actor in Hollywood after Li Xiaolong: Cheng Long!
Hugo once saw Zhang Yimou from afar. He also talked face to face with Lee An at the Berlin Film Festival, but they are both directors and masters hidden behind the scenes. But Cheng Long is different. His big screen image can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the 1980s and 1990s, when Hong Kong films were at its peak, Cheng Long, Hong Jin Bao, Yuan Biao and others pushed Kung Fu movies to the peak. Hugo had almost watched Cheng Long's movies!
I didn't expect that I would actually see Jackie Chen on the Oscars today. This was really a huge surprise.
But Hugo forgot that at this time, compared to the surprise of seeing Jackie, Jackie was the real surprise when she saw him. Jackie looked flattered, "Really? Do you know me? Wow, this is a real surprise."
Hugo was then awakened to his memory. In fact, Jackie tried to travel to Hollywood as early as the early 1980s, but unfortunately he did not succeed, so he temporarily focused on the development of Hong Kong. It was not until the mid-1990s that Jackie once again ushered in the development of Hollywood. A "Red Anime" in 1995 actually won a box office of 32 million US dollars in Hollywood, which was already the best result of foreign language films in North America. Later, relying on the popularity of this work, Jackie won the opportunity to perform "rh.hour" and then established his later international status.
Therefore, Jackie was certainly well-known in Hollywood at this time, but it was very limited. He relied more on the power of his agency William Morris's agency, which won the opportunity to attend the Oscar. It has to be admired that William Morris' agency, as the old leader, has made real methods, not only made Jackie a guest of honor for the Oscars, but also became the award presenter of the best animated short film.
This is the power of top brokerage companies. They have the ability to let their artists enter fields beyond their abilities and thus win more development opportunities. For example, Will Smith also attended the Oscar tonight and became the guest of the Best Visual Effects Award. This is the current ability of the Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company.
"Of course, 'Hongfan District' is a mysterious kung fu master from the East, right?" After Hugo finished speaking, he burst into laughter. In the 1990s, there were not many Chinese faces active in Hollywood, which also made Hugo feel more close to each time he saw these familiar dark eyes and yellow skin.
"My honor." Jackie looked completely unexpected. After all, Hugo is now at the top of the pyramid of the film industry in the world. Although he has a transcendent status in the Hong Kong film industry, his influence around the world is very limited in North America.
Looking at Jackie's expression of honor, Hugo's mood was really hard to describe in words. However, Hugo soon saw the urging eyes of the staff, and he had to apologize, "Sorry, I still have a task, I hope I will chat slowly next time I have the chance."
After saying goodbye to Jackie, Hugo only had time to sort out his slightly ups and downs, and then saw the wheelchair in front of the dressing table. His mood slowly settled down and he quickly walked over, "Hey, Christopher, sorry for letting you wait for a long time."
The red-haired lady in a champagne-colored suspender dress standing next to the wheelchair turned her head and saw that the person was Hugo, she smiled and nodded, saying hello, and then turned around in the wheelchair. Hugo faced the man in the wheelchair.
At this time, the man who appeared in front of Hugo's hands were hanging weakly on the back of the wheelchair, and his fingertips looked a little distorted; his face had a modest smile, but his facial expression was a little stiff, his long black hair was neatly combed into three to seven, but it was a little messy at this time, and his deep facial features outlined a shallow shadow in the soft light of the dressing table. He was wearing a black suit with a large collar, and a royal blue horse clip inside, but the white shirt inside could not be seen clearly because it was blocked by a white tube, which connected to his chin, passed through the horse clip, and then connected to a transparent glass bottle on the wheelchair.
"Please call me Chris." A gentle smile appeared on the wheelchair man's face, which seemed so normal. "Dina, this is Hugo, I told you that he is a very handsome man."
The woman standing next to her smile stretched out her right hand towards Hugo, "Dana.reeve."
Hugo shook hands with her and greeted her, then looked at the wheelchair man and laughed, "In front of you, I will never admit that I have something to do with handsomeness. Otherwise, I think I will become a public enemy, and Carl Earl's supporters will overwhelm me."
Hugo bent down and gave the wheelchair man a big hug, completely ignoring the existence of the wheelchair, as if it was just normal social interaction, which made the wheelchair man laugh brightly, and Dana, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but smile slightly.
The wheelchair man in front of him is Christopher Reeve, the most famous actor in the history of film, and Christopher Reeve. As we all know, Superman can be said to be the most successful superhero image in American film history. His appearance defines the so-called hero image for people, and the one who really injects this leadership temperament into Superman is Christopher Reeve. He projected his personal charm on this illusory influence, making the Superman image convincing.
Even though many actors later played Superman, no one could surpass Christopher in front of him.
Unfortunately, Christopher is also one of Hollywood's biggest losses. He accidentally fell off a horse during a horse racing competition last year, resulting in spinal injury and paralysis. A generation of idol superstars were trapped in a wheelchair.
Tonight, Christopher appeared at the Oscars, shouldering special tasks, and Hugo will become his partner.
