Nicole has already noticed the strange eyes around her, and when she heard Eric say this, she quickly let go of her hand, and she also regretted that she should not lose her composure when she saw Elizabeth's provocative eyes, which would only make Eric Rick is embarrassed. After sitting in the seat, Nicole took the initiative to give Eric a sorry look. But Elizabeth seemed to have the upper hand, her chin was raised slightly, and she hummed softly proudly.
Eric patted Nicole reassuringly, then turned around and whispered in Elizabeth's ear: "Little 丨 girl, don't forget what this place is, if you dare to make me unable to step down, I will let you You can’t get out of bed, if you don’t believe me, try it.”
Elizabeth noticed Eric's little gesture of comforting Nicole, and she was a bit apprehensive. Hearing this, a small flame in her heart burst into flames. She was about to attack, but when she saw Eric's extremely serious expression, she shrank immediately. He lowered his neck and muttered something like partiality, with a little grievance on his face.
Seeing that the little wild cat was tamed, Eric was not stingy with sweet dates, and reached out to pat the back of Elizabeth's hand on her lap.
Elizabeth turned her head away angrily, making an expression that I don't like this, but instead of shaking off Eric's big hand, she raised a finger and scratched Eric's palm, like a relationship between a man and a woman. A hint of dating, □, and an unconscious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In fact, there are no secrets in the Hollywood circle. Everyone knows about Eric and the women.
Originally noticed that the two girls were confronting each other, many people were waiting to see Eric's jokes, but they saw Eric appease the two girls in two or three times. Even some small movements do not need to be changed. Used on two women at the same time. Can't help admiring Eric's training methods, Cage, who was sitting in front of Eric's left, secretly gave Eric a thumbs up.
After a short episode, the lights in the auditorium of the auditorium gradually dimmed.
Soon, the announcer's speech appeared on the stage: "The host of the 63rd Academy Awards is invited, Billy Crystal."
As soon as the words fell, a tense symphony sounded in the auditorium. Some people subconsciously turned their eyes to the "Silence of the Lambs" crew, with surprised expressions on their faces. Because this symphony is exactly the soundtrack when Professor Hannibal was "fully armed" and escorted to meet the congressman.
The Academy Awards kicked off with a soundtrack to a horror film that never happened, and the filmmakers present, who were nominated in the same way as The Silence of the Lambs, had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Before too many people figured out more meanings, the curtain opened on the stage, and two men in white clothes who looked like doctors were pushing the proportions of Hannibal masks. Christo walked out, and the scene suddenly exploded. There was a burst of laughter.
After Billy Crystal was put down from the cart, he rolled his eyes and scanned for a week, then walked off the stage while the soundtrack was still playing, came to Anthony Hopkins who was sitting by the aisle and stretched out his arms towards him. shot.
Anthony Hopkins stood up, and Billy Crystal signaled for the band to stop playing. To Anthony Hopkins: "I have prepared a few Oscars for dinner, do you want to come together?"
Hear this ridicule. There was a burst of laughter at the scene again.
Anthony Hopkins didn't have the funny talent of Billy Crystal, so he could only echo, "Anytime."
Eric was sitting in the back row of Anthony Hopkins. After Billy Crystal turned back to the stage and the camera moved away, he whispered to Elizabeth next to him: "This time the suspense is a little less .”
Elizabeth attended the Oscars with Julia last year. The host of the previous session was also Billy Crystal. That time Billy Crystal just walked to the stage in a proper manner. It will be done deliberately for the sake of enlivening the atmosphere, but it also reflects a trend of this year's Oscars. Elizabeth has done a lot of research on the Oscars for public relations a few months ago. Of course, she knows the meaning of this and nodded excitedly. , Said: "I'm ready for the celebration party, can you come with me later?"
"Of course, but is there only a celebration party?"
Elizabeth saw Eric's undisguised expression of "asking for credit", her face flushed slightly, and she said in a low voice: "You villain, what bad idea do you have?"
Eric was about to continue molesting the girl, but when he saw the camera sweeping over again, he had no choice but to return to his upright posture.
On the stage, Billy Crystal had already taken off his mask and resumed his serious appearance. He looked at the audience and said, "Wow, it's another Oscar, and they brought me here again."
Amidst the laughter, Billy Crystal said: "Everyone seems to be very happy tonight, so let's put it this way, no matter who the little golden man ends up with, Saddam Hussein is dead. I think everyone All with great gratitude to the American Soldiers who are fighting around the world...”
As soon as this sentence fell, the audience applauded actively.
After the applause paused for a while, Billy Crystal immediately made up for what he said just now: "... except for Panama."
Laughter rang out again. In the early months of last year, the United States brazenly launched an aggression against this small country in order to preserve its vested interests in the Panama Canal.
Although it is only a short sentence, it deeply embodies Hollywood's consistent political correctness and anti-war stance. On the one hand, Hollywood is a staunch supporter of American interests. Even if the purpose of the government's war is not fair, Hollywood will not sing against the entire country, just like when the Iraq War broke out, which most people in the original air opposed. The Oscars are very low-key. On the other hand, Hollywood is a gathering place for anti-war fighters. Even if the government has launched a war, Hollywood's anti-war stance will still not change.
Billy Crystal then teased Madonna, who is about to perform live at this year's Oscars, and then began the unshakable medley of songs about the nominated films.
Eric doesn't like this link very much, but it may be that the Oscar Organizing Committee thinks that Billy Crystal's method can give a brief introduction to each nominated film, so every time he hosts the Oscar, he will reserve follow this link.
Billy Crystal finished the opening interaction. The ceremony entered the most important part. as usual. This year's Oscars still started with an award for Best Supporting Actor.
There is no suspense, this year's best supporting actor corner is on Joe Pesci who participated in Martin Scorsese's "Goodfellas". This was followed by a series of insignificant small awards, during which Nicole also left Eric's side once, and took the stage to present the award for the best photography winner.
I don't know if it was intentional, but the awards ceremony went on for an entire hour, and none of the nominations for the award for the most watched "Silence of the Lambs" has yet to be involved, but Eric did not report any expectations for "People "Ghost Love" unexpectedly won an award for best soundtrack.
Time passed minute by minute. Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins jointly came to the stage to present the best screenplay award, which finally brought the ceremony to a climax.
After briefly introducing the nominees, Jodie Foster opened the envelope for the best original screenplay and brought it to Anthony Hopkins.
"The winner of the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay is..." Anthony Hopkins glanced at the audience, paused for a second, and then said, ""The Love of Ghosts"."
The applause rang out, and Bruce Joy Robin, who was sitting a little behind, stood up excitedly, and his female partner hugged him, and then walked briskly to the crew of "The Love of Ghosts" again. A round of hugs and handshakes. Eric also stood up, and shook hands with Bruce Joy Robin across Nicole.
Although it was because of the competition for the script. The two had some unhappiness, but no one would mention it at this time, after all, both parties had gained enough benefits.
After the best original screenplay award, Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins did not step down, and directly introduced the nominations for the best adapted screenplay, and then Jodie Foster read "The Silence of the Lambs" "'s name, amid the applause, the camera swept to the audience, and it was fixed on a somewhat bald middle-aged man wearing glasses. It was Ted Tully, the screenwriter of "The Silence of the Lambs".
Eric smiled and looked at the crew members of "The Silence of the Lambs" on the upper right and got up to greet Ted Tully. He thought he had nothing to do with him, but after shaking hands with Elizabeth, Ted Tully looked at Eric, Smiling and reaching out.
Although a little abrupt, Eric stood up quickly and held Ted Tully's hand.
"Mr. Williams, thank you, I hope we can cooperate in the future," Ted Tully finished speaking quickly, nodded to Eric, and walked to the stage.
The scene of the two shaking hands was recorded by the camera. After Ted Tully left, the photographer carrying the camera still gave Eric a meaningful close-up.
And the subsequent awards process seemed to be very weird and lively. Whoopi Goldberg seemed normal when she won the award for Best Supporting Actress for "Ghostly Love", but then "The Silence of the Lambs" every After receiving an award, the winners did not forget to say hello to Eric when they hugged and celebrated with the crew Elizabeth and others. Even Jodie Foster, who won the best actress again, smiled when she heard the good news. He shook hands with Eric. Everyone who saw this scene felt absurd, as if some strange person had mixed in.
After watching Jonathan Demme excitedly walk towards the stage when he won the best director, "The Silence of the Lambs" has already won four awards: best director, best actor, best actress and best adapted screenplay , it is no suspense to win the best picture.
Elizabeth looked at Jonathan Demme, who was giving his acceptance speech on the stage. After thanking him for a long time, he also mentioned Eric's name. Thinking of the scene just happened, Elizabeth couldn't help but said to Eric : "It's over, maybe everyone has to attribute the credit to you, why don't you wait to receive the best picture award."
Eric patted Elizabeth's thigh lightly: "Why bother what others think, I know the hard work you have put in for this movie, so you have a clear conscience for this award."
Elizabeth obviously liked this sentence very much, but she was still a little stubborn: "You know what it's useful for."
When Barbra Streisand walked to the podium to introduce the nominations for the best picture, although many people at the scene had already confirmed the result, they still couldn't help looking at the crew of "The Silence of the Lambs" with different eyes.
Let a woman win the best picture, as a hint, then the winner is likely to be a woman, or at least one of the winners is a woman, and among the producers nominated for the best picture this year, only "The Silence of the Lambs" "Elizabeth of the crew is a woman.
“…the nominees for Best Picture are Silence, The Godfather: Part III, Reversal of Fortune, The Silence of the Lambs, and Goodfellas, so the Oscar winner is,” Barbara Streisand took a look at the envelope in her hand, raised her head to look at the crew of "The Silence of the Lambs", said with a smile, "The winners are "The Silence of the Lambs", Jonathan Demme, Elizabeth Murdoch."
The sound of music was accompanied by thunderous applause. Not only the "Silence of the Lambs" crew, but many people around stood up to congratulate this side. After all, the movie "The Silence of the Lambs" is good enough, and it is not too controversial to win the award, not to mention Elizabeth's identity, which is enough for most people present to stand up and show their favor, although many people in private will take that Fox The princess's nickname was teased, but no one had the guts to pretend to be noble at this time.
Elizabeth also stood up excitedly at this time, her face was a little rosy because of the excitement, perhaps because she was too happy, the girl gave Eric a hug without any scruples, and kissed Eric on the cheek before sharing with other people. They hugged and shook hands one by one, and then they stepped onto the podium with Jonathan Demme surrounded by everyone.
Jonathan Demi just said his acceptance speech once, and he also understood that he was able to get the second statuette, which was completely covering for Elizabeth, so he just said a few words casually, and then handed over the microphone to Elizabeth.
The girl picked up the microphone, looked at the dense crowd under the stage, sorted out her words, and said: "It's amazing, it's a great honor to receive this award, it's my greatest encouragement, First of all, I would like to thank the Oscar judges for giving me this award, and secondly, I would like to thank everyone on the crew, Jonathan, Judy, Anthony, and many other people on the crew, and my father , mother, sister and brother."
When Elizabeth said this, her tone paused for a moment, and she glanced at the audience, showing a slightly playful expression, and said with a slightly rosy face: "Well, seeing how you are looking forward to it..." (To be continued...)
