Chapter 502 Sleepless Tonight
In the past ten minutes, Roger Albert didn't know how he survived it. He almost used all his strength to control the idea of jumping over and smashing the big screen opposite, and sat calmly in front of the live broadcast camera.
But he stopped talking and let his partner Ropey speak alone.
Ropey is a very competent host who constantly arouses the audience's interest with words and guides them to continue to pay attention to the award ceremony.
The number of viewers is directly related to the advertising fees of his AB TV station at the next Oscars.
Roger Albert next to him was a little strange, but Ropey didn't have the time and energy to care about him. Duke Rosenberg in the Kodak Theater was far more important than him and more related to his job.
"Just as everyone expected, Duke Rosenberg deserves the Best Director of this year's Oscar, and it's also a return from the king..."
Hearing his partner's constant praise, Roger Albert had the urge to take off his shoes and stuff them into the other person's mouth.
Fortunately, Ropey stopped after saying a few words, because the award ceremony for the best film is about to begin!
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Steven Spielberg."
Billy Cristo retreats to the corner of the stage, Spielberg quickly walks to the microphone, and the old Jewish man will present the best video!
"People always say that there is a reason to keep the best film to the end. It is the sum of all the elements of the film, and the end of a journey always begins with a dream..."
The old man seemed not to want people to wait and spoke very quickly. "This year, the Lord of the Rings trilogy adapted from Tolkien's novel, and the spectacular novels adapted from Aubrey and Mathurin..."
The wording was finished by his brief words, and then introduced, "The following are the best film finalists "Lost Tokyo", Roskaz and Sophia Coppola; Katherine Kennedy and Frank Marshall in the Years; Charles Rowan and Duke Rosenberg in the Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King; Clint Eastwood and Robert Lorentz in the River Mysterious; Harvey Weinstein and Dukhan Handsen in the Sea of Rings."
Spielberg opened the envelope and read the answer without any surprise. "The winners are Charles Rowan and Duke Rosenberg in "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King"!"
Because the TV live broadcast switched to Kodak Theater. The atmosphere in the live broadcast room of AB was a little relaxed, but this did not include Roger Albert, the famous film critic stared straight at the big screen opposite, looking like a deformed goldfish.
In the live broadcast room, some people are putting on makeup, some are checking equipment, and they are all preparing for live broadcast comments after the award ceremony.
Roger Albert's face became redder and redder, and the veins on his forehead were beating rapidly at a small rate and high frequency. He faintly heard a lot of discussion.
"Duke Rosenberg set a record for one Oscars, twelve little gold men!"
"So many people looked down on him before, but now they have nothing to say."
Ropey next to him is also catching up on the next stage of the line. This is the A-TV plan broadcast by A-TV. In other words, A-TV also believes that Duke Rosenberg and "Return of the King" will win a big victory at the award ceremony.
"The King arrives at the Oscars, Duke Rosenberg's twelve years of the road to the gods..."
Hearing Ropey's low reading sound, Roger Albert suddenly had an idea, they were all traitors! The world all betrayed him!
Ab TV, the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences, the media and the public. They are all a group of shameful traitors!
The anger that was forced to be suppressed by Roger Albert in his heart burst out at this moment. The old film critic's face looked like he was drunk, and it seemed that he could bleeding.
The next moment, Roger Albert also felt drunken dizzy. The person opposite him suddenly turned into two, and his figure became more and more blurry. Even if he was only four feet apart, he could not see the other person's face clearly...
At the same time, a strange sound came from Roger Albert's head, as if something had broken, his blurry vision suddenly changed to the darkness, and his whole body tilted to the side.
"Mr. Albert!"
This is the last sentence Roger Albert heard tonight. "Call the doctor and call the emergency number!"
In Kodak Theater, Duke walked back onto the stage. He looked at the place where the Lord of the Rings crew sat, frequently waved to the members of the team, signaling them all to come up. After Charles Rowan stood up, he was also doing the same job.
According to the Oscar regulations, there are only two producers who receive awards on behalf of the crew, but the best film is neither the director nor a producer, but everyone who participates in the film production process!
This is a team award!
Why does this award always appear as the finale? Because movies are never the result of one person’s efforts, but the fruits planted by a huge team working together!
Charles Rowan, Anna Prinz, Hanna Serena, John Schwartzman, McDaoson, Elijah Wood, Vigo Motson, Orlando Bloom, Billy Boyd and Ian McLean all went on the stage of receiving the awards!
Although the film did not receive any performance awards, and even nominated for a performance award, this is the glory that everyone deserves!
Everyone contributed to the success of these trilogy during the filming process!
The two Little Golden Men, who represented the best film, were handed over to Duke and Charles Rowan respectively by Spielberg. Duke just said 'Thank you everyone' and gave the position to Charles Rowan.
"It's a great honor to stand here. I got into this business thirty-five years ago, starting with delivering coffee to the director."
This old producer did not lack humorous cells. He deliberately glanced at Duke and turned to the host tonight, "I think it was because I dated Billy Christo's cousin many years ago that I won the award today..."
There were bursts of laughter in the theater, and Charles Rowan obviously knew how to mobilize the atmosphere better than Duke, who had basically no humorous cells.
On the other hand, Billy Cristo also cooperated quite well, shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands to make an innocent expression.
As the joke time ended, Charles Rowan continued, “It’s great to be working on a great team, I’m so happy to be working with a director like Duke, nominated with four other films, and after so many years finally winning the award, it’s a surprise for all of us.”
"This video is to thank all the actors and behind the scenes in front of the camera, and I hope to give special thanks to my partners Warner Bros. and Duke Studios. My beautiful daughter Dannyler and my 87-year-old father are waiting behind to celebrate with us. I want to thank Tolkien and the fans who support us, as well as Doug Walter and Jeff Robinoff, who have made their efforts to enable us to make this film."
He turned to look at Duke, "In the end, it was director Duke Rosenberg, who was never 10% satisfied. He was always pursuing 110% of the time. He inspired us all, did his best to shoot these movies, and brought them to the screen!"
The award ceremony came to an end, and the door to the backstage opened. Tonight, all the winners who won the Little Golden Man walked onto the stage, and the 76th Academy Awards Ceremony came to an end.
The award ceremony ended, but for the winners like Duke, the Oscars are far from over. From the backstage, he has become the target of media and journalists' pursuit, and one person's limelight even overwhelms Seanpan and Charlize Theron.
Duke knew very well, no wonder these reporters were so excited. The best directors and best film winners in the past often faced an embarrassing problem. They did win awards, but the real influence of the winning works was not great.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy is different. The global box office of "The Rings Expedition", "Two Towers Ark" and "Return of the King" has exceeded US$4 billion. It not only won a big victory in the Oscars, but also won a record twelve Little Golden Man.
How could those who created this miracle by themselves be unpopular with the media?
Not to mention traditional media with relatively slow response speed, the relevant comments on the Internet were already on the verge of being over the award ceremony.
Norman Miller turned off the TV, put all his energy on the Internet, and used his instant sharing account to quickly type a sentence.
"Great! Great victory! Congratulations to Duke, and congratulations to the Lord of the Rings trilogy!"
Then, he entered the homepage of the instant sharing website, which was almost flooded with Oscar-related comments.
"After twelve years of waiting, Duke ushered in the greatest victory!"
"This is a great feat that can be compared with Titanic and James Cameron!"
"Twelve nominations, twelve little gold men, 100% winning rate, except for our Duke Rosenberg, who else can do it?"
"Celebrate, guys! Celebrate our Lord of the Rings and toast to Duke we like! Sleepless tonight, never get drunk tonight, no one will fall asleep tonight!"
Turn off the computer, Norman Miller put on a coat and rushed to the movie-themed bar nearest to home. He was going to join the carnival until dawn!
For many people, this is indeed a sleepless night.
The emergency room at the University of California Medical School was pushed open, and a doctor strode out, and Roger Albert's agent quickly met.
"Mr. Albert is out of danger."
Hearing this, the agent breathed a sigh of relief, but the doctor said next, "Given Mr. Albert's physical condition, I personally recommend not working again in the short term, it's best..."
He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better to retire, find a quiet place, keep your mood stable, and rest for a long time." (To be continued.)
