Cher had no choice but to make this misunderstanding get worse. She was very anxious. In fact, the Oscar acceptance speeches were all the same, they were just thanking some people who should be thanked.

Only a few actors, such as the actress Shirley MacLean a few years ago, can say memorable speeches.

Cher's speech, which follows the rules, actually doesn't matter what she says, but what she doesn't say is more important. Tomorrow this will definitely become one of her awards highlights, appearing in the news at various points in time, and maybe even in the tabloids.

She fabricated news that she and the director were at odds all night long.

Xueer felt very remorseful. Why didn't she prepare a small note and read it accordingly? It was probably because she didn't expect to win the award. He looked over from the backstage and wished that the award presenter would pause and let her go up and correct her speech.

For the Best Director award, comedian Robin Williams took the stage to present the award. He wore a mustache and started his own stand-up comedy performance (for time).

He was also nominated for Best Actor this year for "Good Morning Vietnam" directed by Barry Levinson. In the movie, he played a DJ at a US military radio station and was famous for his passionate morning show hosting.

Today he also borrowed the style of the protagonist in the movie on stage and started a passionate performance. Maybe he secretly had an unpleasant mentality of losing to Michael Douglas, but Robin Williams worked very hard.

Some viewers appreciated it and burst into laughter. But Ronald was not included.

From the time Robin Williams came on stage, he had been telling jokes and imitating various cartoon characters for three full minutes. By the end, he no longer knew what else to say and started to roll his eyes like Tom and Jerry...

Ronald pressed the root of his nose with his hand and kneaded his forehead, which was about to explode. This was really frustrating. The award guest, who didn't know that there were five other nominated directors, were sitting below, waiting for him to announce the winner.

Candidate?

"The nominees for the Best Director Achievement Award are..."

Robin Williams finally gets to read the nominations list.

"Bernardo Bertolucci"

Footage of Bertolucci directing actors in Qing Dynasty official uniforms in the Forbidden City began to play on the big screen.

"The Last Emperor, one of Lord Commander Ronald's favorite movies" Robin Williams still doesn't give up joking.

Bertolucci lowered his head and frowned at what he said. As an Italian left-wing filmmaker, what he hates most is right-leaning leaders.

"Lars Hallström, The Dog-Face Years"

On the screen were shots taken a few days ago by the organizing committee. The young Swedish director was looking at the scene in front of the camera's viewfinder.

"Why are they all looking at the camera? Oops, the lens cap isn't even on yet..." Robin Williams has a joke for everyone.

"The winner of the Academy Award for Best Director is..." Robin Williams announced the four nominees, then skipped Ronald and went directly to announce the winner.

The camera lens had already moved to Ronald. When he saw the red light of the camera and knew that he was on camera for the live broadcast, Ronald suppressed his nervousness and wanted to give the audience a relaxed smile and show off his demeanor.

Suddenly, the photographer didn't know what was going on. Why only four of the five nominees were named? He hesitated and didn't know whether to pan the camera away from Ronald or stop.

Here, wait to capture Ronald Lee's reaction.

When Ronald saw this, he was even more shocked. What is this? Has my nomination been temporarily canceled?

Diane next to her didn't understand what was going on. She turned her head and saw Ronald's raised eyebrows. This was definitely not photogenic, so she immediately used an actor's line skills and squeezed out a sentence while keeping a smile on her mouth.

: "Smile and pay attention to the camera."

The director did not ask the photographer to move away from the camera and continued to let the camera focus on Ronald.

"The winner of Best Director is... Oh, by the way, in addition to the Oscar statuette, the Academy is also planning to give a green card to the final winner."

Robin Williams went on to make a joke about the fact that among this year's nominees, four of the directors are not American.

"Did they cancel your nomination?" Donna couldn't help it anymore. She gently turned forty-five degrees from the right and asked Ronald what happened. Her cousin is now a junior investment manager at a Wall Street fund.

Know that you can't express too much in this situation.

"I don't know...no one told me. There's no need for this, right?" Ronald tried his best to stay calm. The organizing committee wouldn't do such an outrageous thing, right? Why did it cancel his nomination? Could it be that he traveled through time?

Their secret was discovered? They felt that they did not make the movie based on their own ability?

"No, Robin has forgotten you..." Diane discovered that the frame-decorated screen on the stage was playing the documentary footage shot by MGM for "Moonlight". Ronald was in

Sitting next to Cher and Dukakis at the dining table, they were talking about something, as if instructing them on the details of their performance...

"Oh, sorry, I forgot, there is another one...Ronald Lee, the moonlight is sultry..."

Ronald immediately breathed a sigh of relief. What's going on? Can you forget to nominate? Did the guest just make an impromptu joke for too long and his brain is not very clear?

“He has just been signed to film the sequel to the sultry moonlight film, ‘Sunrise Three Rods!’ We all know that after being enchanted by the moon, you will wake up very late the next day.”

"Hahaha..." The audience burst into laughter.

"This guy did it on purpose..." Ronald gritted his teeth while maintaining a smile to show that he had no bad feelings about being teased. He squeezed out a few words through his teeth and complained to Diane.

This Robin Williams must have noticed that he was young and deliberately prepared jokes to make fun of himself.

"Stop talking, it will be revealed soon. The photographer is zooming in on you." Diane is an actress. She is particularly sensitive to the camera. She quickly held Ronald's hand to remind him not to speak out loud and have his lips read.

language.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sure enough, the photographer was ordered by the director in the headset to zoom in and give Ronald a close-up.

Ronald didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to show a cute smile, then turned to Diane and pretended to be relaxed, and then pretended to wipe the sweat with his hands.

Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I saw Bertolucci over there, gritting his teeth and pretending to be generous. This Robin Williams made all the nominees nervous for a normal award ceremony. In fact,

Not a good candidate.

The two of them looked at each other, then they both supported their chins with their hands and smiled at each other. The award should be announced soon!

"The winner is...Bernardo Bertolucci - The Last Emperor."

"Sure enough," Ronald deliberately clenched his fists, cheered for Bertolucci, and then began to applaud. These close-up shots would be made into picture-in-picture by the television station and displayed on the screen at the same time. Although I did not win the award, I

I am proud of my competitor's expression, and Ronald has also practiced it.

"As an Italian and European, the Oscars are very far away and mysterious to me. But The Last Emperor received nine nominations, and I suddenly became the most enthusiastic audience, calculating the probability of winning the award every day...

"

"Hahaha..." Ronald really laughed now. Bertolucci's acceptance speech was quite sincere and interesting.

"I want to thank many people. First of all, I want to thank China for allowing me to go to their beautiful country to shoot this movie."

Bertolucci was visibly excited, and he even said that he was willing to kowtow to the members of the academy! Because now was the most emotional moment in his life, and he didn't know how to express it.

Ronald applauded with everyone. After listening to his speech, he finally regained his composure from being overwhelmed. Tonight, The Last Emperor has won eight awards out of nine nominations. Only the last one is left.

What a great video.

As the Last Emperor theme played a dozen times tonight, Donna asked Ronald, "Do you have any hope for Best Picture?"

"Almost none. Generally, movies that win Best Picture will have most of the best director, best screenplay, and best editing, and they will usually have one of the best actor or best actress." Ronald knew clearly.

, the final grand prize has no great fate with me.

Before the final awards are presented, there is a few minutes of rest time for the TV station to play commercials and give the audience some time to adjust.

Ronald looked at Bertolucci. His seat was in the back, which was different from the front row in popular movies. Maybe it was because of his shy character, which is rare among Italians? Ronald himself

Look, it seems that producer Jeremy Thomas is also missing. The crew of "The Last Emperor" seems to be keeping a low profile today.

"Ronald...is it convenient?" Someone seemed to be calling him.

When Ronald turned around, he saw that it was Cher's manager, a lady standing outside the aisle. The expression on her face was very anxious, and she asked Ronald to come out and have a few words alone.

"What?" Ronald walked a few steps with her to the aisle on the side.

"Cher is very sorry for not thanking you alone on stage. She did not expect that she would win the award and did not prepare a speech. You may have noticed that she got stuck several times because she was nervous."

"It's okay, I know she forgot her words on stage, and the time was short. A heroine's acceptance speech usually takes much less time than a hero's." Ronald said this before he could recover from the emotion of being teased just now.

The expression on his face was very serious.

"Xueer originally wanted to come over and apologize to you in person, but she has the obligation to be interviewed by reporters, so I came here on her behalf... Please forgive me. She said she would explain clearly to reporters. It is all her fault."

"I'm Eddie Murphy..." The guest presenting the Best Picture Award has already come on stage.

"Okay, just let Xue'er explain it clearly to them." Ronald signaled that she was fine and sat back in his seat.

"I only had sixty seconds to say my words. I should have thanked Ronald and Shanley, but I was a little nervous and didn't even thank my boyfriend." Cher later accepted a joint interview with reporters to explain the situation.

…

"How was it? What did Ronald say?" After Cher accepted a round of interviews, she waited until her manager came over to report the news. She tried her best to explain the situation during the interview.

"Ronald's face didn't look good. He was very serious and said it didn't matter. I just want you to explain it clearly when answering reporters' questions."

"Oh my God! Ronald and I are done. I said bad things about him during filming and said she doesn't know how to direct actors. Today it seems he is not ready to forgive me. In fact, no one in Hollywood accepts me.

, I’m old and I don’t look like a Hollywood woman, so only Ronald gave me the chance to play the leading role.”

Cher held the statuette and was discussing countermeasures with her manager. Although after winning the Best Actress, she would definitely be invited to offer various high-priced scripts, but if she won the Best Actress and the news spread that she was not grateful to the director, she would not be able to do so in the future.

A capable director would invite me to star in such a high-level film with both artistic and commercial excellence.

"What should we do?" Cher asked the manager.

"What Ronald said is for you to make amends and let most people know that you are really grateful to him. This is good for him, but in the final analysis it is also for your own good. Actresses who don't know how to be grateful are the worst in Hollywood.

There is no future.”

"How can I make up for it? I just rushed in and apologized." Xueer covered her face, "Those reporters will definitely not put my apology on the headlines. They will definitely report that Ronald and I are at odds for the sake of sensationalism...

…”
