Ike and Monica are still one of the most popular stars on the red carpet of the 72nd Academy Awards. Wherever they go, fans will scream and media questions. There are guardrails on both sides of the red carpet. However, Ike still walked over and signed with enthusiastic fans.

Today he was still wearing a black suit and a blue bow tie. Monica beside him was wearing a golden evening dress with shiny little pearls on it. This evening dress not only highlighted her sexy figure, but also gave people a queen-like domineering attitude, which seemed to indicate that she would win today's actress.

The arrival of the crew of "American Beauty" naturally attracted the attention of all parties. Kevin Spacey, Annette Benin, Sora, Birch, Wes Bentley are all here. Director Sam Mendes is no exception.

Of course, movie fans are slightly less enthusiastic about them. After all, they are all "strength" people, not handsome guys and beautiful girls, but professional media know that they are the most capable of winning the Oscars this year.

The defeat at the Golden Globes has caused dissatisfaction among many critics who support "American Beauty". In their opinion, this realistic film that shows all kinds of "cancer" hidden in the skin of American society is more thought-provoking than "Reading Life and Death". The film is permeated with a strong spirit of ridicule, and the performances of all characters are remarkable, photography, editing, soundtrack, etc. are amazing. The most outstanding "Watch of God" is a long and empty shot: a garbage bag that has been used and thrown away dances on the ground with the wind, floating around and wondering where it is.

"Life and Death Reading" is good, but it is not as good as it can beat "American Beauty". And Ike has won the Best Director last year and won the Golden Globes at the end of January, so the Oscar said he would not give him anything.

These analysis is good and reasonable, and Ike also thinks it is right. He himself did not want the best director or the best film. Because this honor is a double-edged sword, on the one hand, it can make him a legend, on the other hand, he will become the target of public criticism. Because there are many people in this world who envy, jealous and hate him.

"Hi, Director Sam" On the red carpet, Ike warmly greeted Sam Mendes, the director of "American Beauty".

"Oh, hello director Ike, you look so energetic." Sam and Ike shook hands. The media quickly grabbed the details and kept taking pictures of the two, just like the plot of the two coaches meeting before the football game.

In fact, Sam Mendes is also a charming man. He is less than 35 years old this year, which is his first movie. The first movie is so successful, which shows that this person is also very talented. Like Ike, he is the future of American movies.

It can also be said that this Oscar is a contest between the younger generation

At the red carpet ceremony, every star naturally had to receive a lot of short interviews from the media. Ike was no exception. Like last year, Ike gave CCTV reporters who came to report on the Oscars, so they had a little more time.

"Last year you created a miracle of the Chinese people. Do you think you will win the best director this year?" asked a female CCTV reporter.

Although the question was a bit amateur, Ike still answered the reporter in Chinese with a smile.

"If miracles are created every year, then it is not a miracle." Ike said this, paused for a moment, and then continued, "That's called a myth."

The female reporter laughed, she was amused by Ike's humor, and she continued, "Do you think you are likely to create myths?"

"I think we will know the answer in two hours." Ike replied.

"Oh, there is another question. I asked your movie fan for China Everbright. When will you be able to return to China? I know your ancestral home is from Beijing." The female reporter asked with a smile.

I also hope that this day will come. I love China and the fans who support me there. Please tell them to promise them that I will communicate with them when the time is right." Ike said.

"Thank you for our interview."

"You're welcome." After Ike said that, he shook hands with the female reporter politely, and then pulled Monica into the sacred auditorium.

This year's Oscars have received a lot of attention in Asia and China. Last year, the Chinese director created the history of Chinese people in Hollywood. This year, he was shortlisted for the Oscar for the second time. What is the ending? Put it aside first. Being able to be shortlisted for the second time is already the highest honor for Chinese people since the movies.

This achievement has also caused widespread discussion in the Chinese film and television industry, especially some well-known domestic directors, who hope to get some inspiration from Ike's movies to revitalize Chinese films. However, it is somewhat regrettable that neither "Training Day" nor "Life and Death Reading" have passed the review of a certain general bureau and have not been able to obtain the mainland market.

This was expected by Ike. To be sorry, it was a bit. But it was not that big, because the Chinese film market in 2000 was still far from enough, and even if these two movies were screened, the box office revenue would not be too high. This market with huge potential will be gradually developed in the next few years.

As night falls, the lively red carpet ceremony ends, which means the award ceremony is approaching.

The celebrity guests, reporters and media, and movie fans and audiences attended the award ceremony, which exceeded 1 times the Golden Globe Award.

At 7:50 pm, all the people in the Holy Auditorium were already seated. At 8 o'clock, with a loud music, the 72nd Academy Awards Ceremony kicked off. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Holy Auditorium, the 72nd Academy Awards Ceremony," a strong voice came from the theater.

The host Billy Christo walked from behind the slowly unfolding scene with this voice. What was strange was the suit and ties he was wearing, but he was holding something similar to a woven bag in his hand.

"Oh, thank goodness, I found two more Oscars..." Billy Christo said, spreading his hands and thrusting his waist.

"Haha..." There was a burst of laughter from the audience. Everyone knew about the series of storms that had happened in this Oscar. What made the academy feel particularly ashamed was that they had lost 55 little golden men at once, and they were lost and regained in a few days. It was full of drama, which also became the joke that Billy Christo made at the beginning of the ceremony.

"They look a little dirty. I admit that they were found in the trash can in my garden. I don't know which bastard threw it in..." Billy Christo said, shook his head and curled his lips. His words and expression suddenly made the guests at the scene stand up and back.

"Please, this is the Academy Awards, the Emperor..." Bi rubbed his forehead with his hands and continued to joke, "Maybe because of this, the college should reward me with a little golden man, right? You know, I found two at once..."

Billy is worthy of being a veteran in hosting the Oscars, and the laughter he holds is just right. The host of the Oscars is to constantly shake out the burden throughout the process to make everyone happy and relaxed. This is not an easy task. An excellent host can set the atmosphere appropriately; on the contrary, it will become a flaw in the ceremony, because after all, the host is the person who speaks the most at the ceremony.

In the opening show at the ceremony, the host will show some movies, celebrities, and hot events from last year to make fun of it. This is the scene just now.

In addition to teasing the academy in the opening show, Billy Christo also teased the guests participating in the Oscars. This year's popular movies "American Beauty" and "Life and Death Reading" are no exception.

"Some people say that this year's Oscar is a battle between Ike Lee and Sam Mendes..." Billy said with a smile, and the camera naturally hit the two directors.

Both of them were straight, with a smile on their faces.

"But I don't watch this. You have to know that the 5 movies that were shortlisted for the best films. Do you have to treat the other three as air?" Billy said, "Oh, "Green Miracle" is air, "The Sixth Sense" is air, and "The Insider" is air. So, I now announce that everyone except Ike and Sam can go home, so we try to save some time."

There was another burst of laughter off the audience, especially Ike and Sam.

After Billy Christo's opening show for more than 10 minutes, the first prize of this year's Oscar began to be awarded.

The ceremony began naturally with some lightweight awards. The best costume was given to "Singing and Playing / Fallen Four", the best editing "The Matrix", the best visual effect "The Matrix", the best sound effect "The Matrix", the best audio editing "The Matrix", and the best art director/props set "The Cuthead Valley".

From this we can see that "The Matrix" has won almost all technical awards. It seems that the audience and judges of this film have left behind a deep visual enjoyment.

The first award of 3d company was Best Photography, and the winner was "Reading Life and Death". After the award was announced, Ike felt relieved because the award was exactly the same as the result of "deduction".

The best original song is "you'll-be-in-my-heart" "Tarzan of the Apes". The best animated short film "The Old Man and the Sea", the best live-action short film "Mother Dreams of Satan's Disciples in New York", the best documentary short film "The King of the Lace", the best documentary feature film "One Day in September", and the best foreign language film "Everything About My Mother" (Spain).

The best original script "American Beauty", he defeated four other films, including "Training Day". This was the first award for "American Beauty". The crew was naturally very happy. Screenwriter Allen Beo excitedly walked onto the podium, took over the Little Golden Man, full of award-winning comments.

The best supporting actress was between Angelina Jolie, Toni Collett, Katherine Keener, Samantha Morton, and Kloe Severny. Finally, Angelina Jolie won the Little Golden Man with her wonderful performance in "The Soul-Escaped Girl". This movie not only brought her the Golden Globe Award, but also won the Oscar.

Anji choked up several times when receiving the award. The sexy goddess really couldn't control her excitement and excitement tonight.

The best supporting actor was won by the aging Michael Kane, who was born in the film "The Law of Apple House", and he defeated Ethan Hawke, who included "Training Day".

Ethan Hawke followed Ike to the Golden Globes and Oscars, but he failed to get it in the end.

After that, two-thirds of the ceremony had passed, and the most important grand prizes were coming, and the atmosphere of the theater gradually reached a white-hot level.

The first grand prize is the winner of this year's Oscar. Award presenter Helen Hunter, who is also the winner of the 70th Oscar.

"Let's first look at the list of the best actresses shortlisted for this year's Oscars." Helen Hunter said with a smile. The envelope in her hand was the final result.

The big screen on the stage shows several shortlisted female stars, namely: Hillary Swank, "The Boy Don't Cry", Annette Benin, "American Beauty", Julian Moore, "Love to the End", Meryl Streep, "Soul Music/String Touch My Heart", Monica Bellucci "Reading Life and Death"

Monica's hand tightly held Ike, but Ike was actually a little nervous because this was one of the main tasks of the system.

Historically, the competition for the film queen is also very dramatic. The popular media predicted by the media is naturally Annette Bening of "American Beauty", and even congratulated her in advance, but in the end, she was taken away by Hillary Swank through "Boy Don't Cry". This woman who looks like a man suddenly became a first-line Hollywood star.

However, in this world, they don’t have to argue anymore

"Who won the 72nd Academy Award for Best Actress" Helen Hunter tore open the envelope and recited loudly, "Monica Bellucci's "Life and Death Reading", congratulations to our beautiful Italian girls."

Monica almost couldn't believe her ears and eyes, and the camera looked at her. She covered her face, stood up, and leaned in Ike's arms. Ike gently hugged her and said in her ear, "Dear, you succeeded, you succeeded, this is a global live broadcast. Go and receive the award, my actress queen."

Monica wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and walked towards the podium excitedly. "Monica Bellucci, an Italian actor, this is her first time being nominated for the Oscar and the first time she won this honor..." The introduction to Monica echoed over the theater.

Monica took the Little Golden Man from Helen Hunter, hugged her again, and then began her acceptance speech at the microphone.

God... I don't believe this is true. I actually won the Oscar. Sorry... I thought I couldn't get it, so... I didn't prepare for the award speech..." Monica said excitedly, and she kept watching the Academy Award in her hand, "I want to thank the Academy."

She began to thank a bunch of people as usual, and then expressed some of her own insights. The time for each winner to speak for this Oscar was 50 seconds, and there was a reminder light in front of them. When the yellow light lit up, it reminded that the time for speech was almost up, and the red light was coming.

When Monica saw the yellow light on, she hurriedly said, "Oh, God, don't be so anxious. I have to have a person I want to thank the most, Mr. Ike, my director. You brought me to Hollywood and this palace of artists. The help you helped me during the filming process is that I will never forget in my life."

At this time, the camera looked at Ike, and he nodded at the camera with a smile. Monica's winning means that there is a main task for this year that has been completely completed.

After the admission of Best Actress was announced, Best Actor followed. After "American Beauty" lost a while, she urgently needed this award. Moreover, "American Beauty" had great hope for the admission of the best actor. Of course, Denzer, Washington, Russell Clow, Sean Penn, and Jamie Foggs were not good at it either.

The award presenter was Jack Nicholson. After this old actor came on stage, he first introduced the shortlisted people. Then he opened the envelope and read out the winner of the actor, "The winner of the 72nd Academy Awards... Congratulations, young Jamie Foggs..."

"Wow..." The awesome and applause from the audience were cultivated into one. This is another brand new actor and another movie directed by Ike.

The camera not only excitedly Jamie, but also several other shortlisted actors. Among these people, the most complicated one was Danzhe. Washington. He kept bowing his head and talking to the agent around him. The award should be his. If he starred in "Training Day". However, when he rejected Ike's invitation, history was different. Maybe he regretted it now, and it shouldn't be true. However, there was no way to do this, because he had a contract at that time and could not help himself.

Will Smith, who was watching the live TV broadcast on the TV, is truly regretful. Not only did he lose at the box office this year, but he also had the opportunity to go to the best actor. He regretted why he needed that little pay. But there is no regret medicine in this world. This is life, this is Oscar. Behind this little golden man, there will always be many unexpected stories.

Jamie Foggs is the second black actor in this world after Sidney Portier (1963) "The Lily of the Wild", and this is explained in detail in the introduction of the theater.

And this will surely become a strong mark in Oscar history.

Jamie's award made Ike completely relieved. At this point, all the main tasks assigned by the system were completed. According to assistant Monroe, all the tasks of Ike's mission phases were over.

Next is the awards ceremony for the Best Director. "American Beauty" has been sold for two consecutive times. According to tradition, such an excellent movie cannot end like this. The Best Director and the Best Film must belong to them, and it is possible that both of them are them.

The crew of "American Beauty" has already shown an impatient mood, although they are calm on the surface. Ike's side is very relaxed, and he has no worries.

The person responsible for awarding the best director was James Cameron. After he came on stage, he also introduced the shortlisted directors - Sam Mendes' "American Beauty", Ike Lee's "Reading Life and Death", Michael Mann's "Insider/Shocking the Insider", M. Knight Shamaran's "The Sixth Sense/The Supernatural Sixth Sense", Spike Jones' "Becoming John Malkovic/Changing the Brain".

"Winning the Best Director of the Oscar at 72nd Oscars" Cameron opened the envelope and announced. At this time, the eyes of the whole world were focused on Cameron's hands, and the scene was silent, and no one could even hear the breathing of anyone.

The same is true for the audience in front of the TV. Who will become the first best director in the new century will be announced immediately

God..." Cameron seemed to not believe in the name in the envelope in his hand. He lowered his head and watched it carefully, and then said excitedly, "A new myth is born. Congratulations to Eck Lee for "Reading Life and Death""

The scene was silent for 5 seconds. Everyone didn't believe it. Everyone was surprised. Sam Mendez's chin was almost falling. Everyone's chin was almost falling.

"Wow" for a long time, the applause sounded, and it was like a tsunami. This result was indeed unreasonable, indeed unconventional, and indeed not logical. But this is a world that likes myths, and this is a world that likes legends.

This result has become a myth and legend

"Director Ike, 25, was nominated for the Oscar for Best Director for the second time and won this award for the second time in a row. This is the miracle of the Oscar. He is also the third person to become the Oscar for Best Director since the birth of the Oscar. The last one has been 50 years ago. He is the first Chinese director to achieve this honor." The introduction words above the theater gave Ike the most gorgeous language.

The crew of "American Beauty" doesn't understand why? But they were also shocked by Ike's achievements. They won the Oscar for the best director. This is the first person in 50 years in Hollywood. Can you find a more shocking story than you can find?

Ike walked to the podium, he took the Little Golden Man from Cameron and hugged his good friend Cameron.

"You are a myth. You are the real king of the world," Cameron said softly in Ike's ear.

"Thank you." Ike responded. He straightened his body, walked to the microphone, and began his acceptance speech. At this time, the whole world's eyes were aimed at him.
