Li Siming's declaration outside the theater has surprised all the audience in front of the TV, and the guests in the theater are talking about his arrogant arrogance before Li Siming finished speaking.

As Meryl Wheeler, a reporter from the New York Times in Los Angeles, will be the foreign journalist who interviewed Li Siming the most in the future. Later, he wrote in the newspaper: "Li Siming is the most memorable Chinese I have ever seen. He is young but calm, and seems careless but appropriately makes you feel trust in it. He is funny and talkative, and knows more familiar with American history than most Americans, which is what he believes, that is, Americans know much about Chinese history than Chinese people.

History understands. But in this chat, he has the initiative in the conversation, and you have no chance to ask your questions. You can only be his audience and deeply agree with what he says. Such people sometimes give people a sense of arrogance, which is exactly the opposite of what most Chinese people have given us. But the facts over the past twenty years have proved that you must not think that this is his arrogantness. Every word he says even forces Wall Street agents to study it repeatedly, so as not to miss the opportunity."

But in 1983, Li Siming gave Americans the feeling that he was just a fledgling young man, and this young man was covered with a lot of halos.

David Frankel is still worried about Li Siming's words just now. From his perspective, what Li Siming said just now is really "out of time".

"David, there is a Chinese saying: ride a donkey and read the songbook, walk and see. It means let the facts speak. Although Li Siming loves bragging and is not as down-to-earth as me, his credibility is still quite high." Zeng Zhi muttered in Frankel's ear, and raised himself up.

"Boss, I'm worried that this will cause trouble and cause the company to suffer losses?" Frankel asked worriedly.

"You don't have to worry about this, believe me right." Zeng Zhi smiled mysteriously.

"I really don't know who the boss is?" Frankel murmured.

Everyone finally entered the theater hall, which specially decorated the award ceremony. This is a large Chinese-style theater with 2,048 seats. It is particularly meaningful for Li Siming (author’s note: In history, the award ceremony was held there for three consecutive sessions since the 16th session).

Of course, the first recommendation among the guests is the cast and crew in the nominated movies. Everyone is dressed up. Some are jewellery, some are unique, some are simple and natural, and there are many handsome men and beautiful women. But so far, everyone does not know who will eventually win each award.

From 1936 to the present, the famous accounting company PwC has always been in charge of the "lifeline" of the Oscars and is fully responsible for sending and counting votes. When counting the number of votes in the primary election, the accounting company dispatched two accountants for each nomination type, and all votes were repeatedly verified at least three times. The votes for the election are counted by four accountants, who work back to back and are not allowed to talk. The statistical results are reported to the two supervisory accountants. These two senior accountants are the only people who know the results before the award presenter opened the envelope at the award ceremony, and they are the only people who know the number of votes. These votes and statistics are kept for five years and then destroyed, so no one knows whether the winner will win a big victory or a narrow victory.

PwC has taken the oldest measure, which is manual vote counting. If PwC encounters cases with very close votes, it will never get tired of counting and counting again and again, leaving no possible controversy or future troubles. Just like the advanced computer technology later, PwC has always insisted on responding to changes in order to deal with all kinds of emergencies. It is precisely because of the accounting company's consistent fair and neutral position that those high-priced Hollywood lawyers dare not act rashly, and it also ensures the authority and enduring charm of the Oscars, the highest award in the world's film industry.

Although after each film was nominated, the Oscar jury committee had an opportunity to "internal screening", no one would have watched every movie from beginning to end. Major film companies published advertisements, introduced their movies in a modest tone, and sent a video tape to each judge. The stars also tried their best to make a show to make the committee members deepen their impression. The Oscar Little Golden Man was like a spell, throwing people in the circle. Some were bored, some were disappointed again and again, while others raised objections.

The famous one is the Oscar Awards ceremony on April 16, 1971. The winner of the movie ended up in the hands of George Scott, who played Patton. However, he did not come on stage to receive the award because he believed that this form of competing with his peers was undesirable. This has become an eternal topic in Oscar history.

The most famous incident in Oscar history that refused to receive a gold medal was Marlon Brando. In 1972, the premiere of "The Godfather" shocked Hollywood movie giants, and its grand occasion was absolutely no less than the premiere of "Gone with the Wind" in 1939. Even Kissinger and many Senators and Representatives attended the show. Brando's extraordinary performance was rewarded. He was nominated for the Best Actor Award after fifteen years of silence. However, the award was awarded.

On the eve of the evening party, he broke the news: not only did he reject the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, but he also threatened: "In this country, there is no honor at all." This action made the academy nervous and quickly called to find out his attitude towards the award, but Marlon Brando "miserably disappeared." It was not until the moment before the award ceremony that Brando stated that if he won the award, he would not come to receive the award, and only sent a representative to participate.

Sure enough, at around 7 o'clock on the night of the awards, a girl dressed in Indian introduced herself to the commander-in-chief of the Academy Awards and presented a fifteen-page speech draft of Brando. Brando really won the Best Actor Award. The two award presenters had just announced that the Indian girl came on the podium and shouted to the audience: "My name is Shakinrietel Faisa, I am an Indian... I should have read a statement from Marlon Brando tonight.

Brando told you in the statement that he regretted not to accept this generous gift because of the discrimination of American Indians in movies and TV and the recent persecution of Indians." There were booing and applause at first, but when she finished speaking, the audience was silent and people sat there in deep thought. This was not because of Marlon Brando's mysterious behavior to achieve some purpose, but because of his years of political belief and stubborn personality.

"I think the master in the White House should come here to support him." The opening remark of the host Hope attracted applause, "Of course, if he is not reminiscent of his old love, we cannot go to the White House to capture the leader of the American people. If you want me to catch him, you have to give me hundreds of thousands of troops. Well, if Spielberg's aliens can help, it will be sure!"

Although Spielberg's "E.t. Alien" was nominated, the aliens in this movie are protected objects. For Earthlings, a cold will kill aliens.

Hope was very proud of his opening remarks, but for this old man, it was just an appetizer. At the exciting Oscars, humor can soothe the nervous nerves of the nominees.

"I have to ask the stars for autographs after the awards, because maybe some of you will become presidents of the United States!" Hope continued to tease.

"But I would like to remind the guests who will win the Little Golden Man, be careful to keep your Little Golden Man!" Carson Hope said of Merrill Streep. After winning the award in 1979, the careless Streep actually left the Little Golden Man in the bathroom.

Li Siming smiled and said to himself that you really know how to make people happy. Don’t you know that those who care about this are not who will become governors and presidents? Just let Uncle Oscar follow them home. If the bodybuilder is qualified to come here, Li Siming might go and flatter him! However, he still thought of William Hurt, the starring actor in "The Shawshank Redemption", who lost the little golden man who has suffered a lot. However, the man is sitting there smiling. Although he has not been nominated, his popularity is thousands of miles a day because of this film.

With the accompaniment of music, the conference opened. The dean of the School of Film Arts and Sciences delivered an opening speech, thanking the guests and praising American film artists for their "great achievements" over the past year.

In the history of the Oscars, sometimes there are only one ceremonies, and sometimes there are four or five ceremonies. The awardee also known as the awardee refers to the person who gave the award special at the award ceremony. Before the second session, the award was awarded by the dean of the college. The third session was actor Lawrence Grant. The fourth session was the winner of the previous session, and the actor Nauma Sheila. In the future, relevant personnel from various departments were allowed to come to the stage to award. According to regulations, the winners of the previous session were often the winners of the next session, but the absentee and those who attended but refused to take the lead were exceptions. In 1958, two men and women from each department were allowed to take turns to come to the stage to award. In 1976, another awardee was restored. This year, only Bob Hope was the one who was the one who was the one who was the dean.

The first ones were awarded were some unimportant awards, basically technical awards. Open the sealed list and announce the supporting actor award, clothing design award, short film award, documentary award, song nominee A, special effect award, and art award in turn;

It was the moment when the master of ceremonial Hope opened the sealed envelope that he said in his usual cliché: "and the winner is..." There was silence in the audience.

"Silence is better than sound at this time!" Li Siming thought of this word. As expected, Li Siming's videos in the first few awards were not qualified to win. However, when Hope announced that the best artist, that is, the art director, was Yuan Chen, Li Siming couldn't help laughing.

Yuan Chen was at a loss at this time. He never thought that he would win this award. Before being invited to the United States, he was completely for the face of Boss Zeng and Li Siming. According to Zeng Zhi, don’t lose the face of Hong Kong people. He didn’t expect that he would win the award. In this award, Yuan Chen defeated the highly-received "The Legend of Gandhi" with the brilliant color and national style of "Flying Knife Gate". Li Siming was delighted. Where is a dry old man as good as an ancient nightclub?

"Thanks to Hong Kong... Mr. Zeng Zhi, and to the director Li Siming from Beijing, I... I really don't know what to say!" Yuan Chen looked at the crowded crowd in the audience and was incoherent. Hope was used to this. Everyone who gave a speech on this occasion for the first time was like this. If everyone was like Greer Garson won the Best Actress for starring in "Mrs. Minnifer" in 1942, and said it endlessly for 90 minutes, then that would be over. Interestingly, the first sentence this woman said was: "I didn't make any special preparations!"

Yuan Chen carefully got off the stage with the little golden man in his hand, and it looked like he was holding a time bomb.

"Isn't it just a not very important award?" Li Siming cursed in his heart, but on the surface he would have to congratulate him, because this is Yuan Chen's profession. It would be strange if he could get the best photography or something!

Next, open the sealed list and announce the song award nominee B, supporting actress award, editing award, sound award, Irving Salberg Memorial Award, Song award nominee C, Photography Award, Song award nominee Ding. "The Legend of Gandhi" may win the best photography, best costume design, and best editing. Spielberg's "e.t. Alien" won four awards: Best original music, best sound editing, best sound mixing, and best visual effect.

Zeng Zhi muttered in Chinese in a low voice and greeted all the women in the homes of thousands of judges participating in the selection. Frankel didn't understand what he was saying and quickly asked his boss what highest instructions were issued.

"It's nothing, I just politely greeted my fellow travelers!" Zeng Zhi said "sincerely".

Next is to announce the Foreign Language Film Award, the Movie Soundtrack Award, the Composition Award, the Song Award nominee Wu, and the Song Award. This is a link that Li Siming is concerned about, because "Flying Knife Gate" is likely to win the Best Foreign Language Film Award.

"Heavenly spirit, earthly spirit, Queen Mother's Queen Mother will appear soon!" Zeng Zhi was still muttering, and the host was still chattering and deliberately trying to cheer everyone up.

"It's wrong for you to do this." Li Siming couldn't help but correct it, "This is the United States, you should ask for it as God! Don't cause diplomatic disputes!"

Old Liu, who was sitting behind him, couldn't help but agree and said, "Yes, colleagues are enemies!"

"Now I announce that the one who won the best foreign language film is... "Flying Knife Gate" from Hong Kong!" Before the long ending sound was over, Zeng Zhi and others had already jumped up. According to regulations, when the best foreign language film was obtained by the director representing the team on stage to collect it.

Li Siming was very sorry that when others came to the stage to receive the award, there were beauties around him, at least a mother could hug him. It was his turn to be a big man, and the only woman, Qi Qi, sat far away. Li Siming tidied up his clothes, stood up, walked through the long aisle, and walked onto the stage. Li Siming made history here, and he became the first Chinese in history to step onto the Oscars, although the award was not awarded to him.

The host who visited China not long ago was Bob Hope, the emcee of China, and he had a good impression of it.

"Mr. Li, what do you think at this moment?" Hope asked.

"I was wondering, how long will it take for you to hold this little golden man in your hand before the dean will give it to me?" Li Siming joked. He will not be stage frightened. The more people you are, the better your eloquence is.

Thousands of guests in the audience burst into laughter. Hope made a lot of jokes about others, and this time, the young Chinese finally made a fuss. Hope quickly handed the little golden man in his hand to the dean and presented it to Li Siming.

"Did you have no feeling at all?" Hope didn't want to give up like this.

"It was originally there, but the people who came on stage to receive the award just now used the lines I had thought of." Li Siming looked at everyone in the audience and said, "I'm wondering what other relatives there are in my family that no one mentioned just now."

Li Siming teased everyone. Those who came on stage to receive the award were nothing more than thanking the producer, the director, and the parents, wife and children. The people in the audience laughed knowingly, and even Hope, a comedian who is used to telling jokes, couldn't help laughing. Hope thought to himself, let you go, otherwise you can't continue.

The most important awards are the best director, best original script and adapted script awards.

"Awesome, you are so awesome!" Zeng Zhi raised his thumbs to Li Siming who was walking off the stage.

"Of course, let's just make an international joke!" Li Siming said.

"If you have the ability, you can go up again?" Zeng Zhi said disdainfully.

"That might be possible!" Li Siming said, "Anyway, I have already put a big satellite outside the theater, so it doesn't matter if I say a few more words!"

The winner of the best director was richard attenborough, who won the award for "The Legend of Gandhi". Hollywood really favors historical films, romance films, war films and family ethics films, as well as "anti-intellectual" films. Li Siming was mentally prepared for this. He could be the least nervous among the nominees. But then Li Siming went up to receive the award again, because "The Shawshank Redemption" won the Best Original Screenplay Award, which is better than in the original history, which also made Li Siming less "condemnation of conscience".

"I am a conscientious pirate!" Li Siming said to himself in his heart.

When Li Siming came on stage again, some people in the audience might have remembered the joke Li Siming had just made and couldn't help laughing out loud. This time, Hope happily asked the dean to award the Little Jin Man to Li Siming. No, it should be said that it was Stephen Jin.

"What do you think when you come on stage again? Especially the origin of this script is still an episode!" Hope asked again.

Li Siming looked back and saw no one behind: "I'm thinking..." Li Siming looked back again, and Hope subconsciously looked back.

"What are you looking at?" Hope couldn't help asking.

"I'm looking for someone who is not dressed behind me!" Li Siming said seriously. Anyone who is a little familiar with the Oscars was happy, because in 1974, when David Niwen, as the award presenter, announced the Best Picture Award, suddenly appeared behind him, holding a peace sign in his hand, constantly waving to the audience below. Niwen was unaware of what was happening behind him, and he didn't realize it until the naked runner stepped down.

"After the security company's strict defense, I can now solemnly announce that there are no untidy people on the scene." Hopti announced seriously.

"Then I'll be relieved!" Li Siming said, "I just help you to soothe the nervous atmosphere! You have been standing here for an hour, and even speak nervously!" Hope licked his lips, his expression was very strange, and the people in the audience laughed again, and people were happy to see the comedy masters being teased.

"I think you definitely wish I would go down earlier, so I'm going to make a long story short. I'll thank the American people for Mr. Stephen King. If there are aliens, I'll thank aliens on his behalf!" Li Siming teased Steven Spielberg, who was sitting in the audience, with a disappointed look on his face.

Although films such as "Jaws" and "et-Alien" were very popular when they were released, Spielberg, who had artistic ambitions, felt a sense of unfulfilled ambitions and a disgusting feeling that was neglected by film experts. "et-Alien" also made him nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director, but the Academy seemed to be biased against Steven and his science fiction films, and this time he only won some technical awards. He once said self-deprecatingly: "We did our best and counted the nomination list for a while, but we never rushed down. Important films beat popcorn entertainment films, which is the general trend, and history is more important than popcorn."

"Do you feel sorry for "The Shawshank Redemption" only won one Best Original Screenplay Award? I heard that before this, you complained that Oscars had no good impression of newcomers. Now it seems that you are saying something reasonable!" Hope asked.

"Complaint? I don't complain. I also think this movie is too ordinary!" Li Siming said seriously. Hope was stunned, thinking that he was talking slander, and the guests in the audience thought that Li Siming was really disappointed.

"I bet he will say that because his next movie is the best!" Zeng Zhi said to Frankel. Frankel expressed doubts.

Sure enough, Li Siming said: "Because my next one is better!"

Frankel looked incredible: "You are really friends!"

Li Siming's wonderful speech once again won applause, more lasting and more enthusiastic than before, because Li Siming expressed the voice of all the filmmakers.

"By the way, I'm going to apply for a patent for this sentence." Li Siming still said seriously, "If the US Patent Office accepts it!"

Hope could no longer bear it, and some people started to cheer on the scene, which became Li Siming's talk show scene, and he himself became a supporting role.

Many similar award ceremony start with less important awards being announced, interspersed with after-the-scenes programs, and the climax is at the end: the most eye-catching Best Actor Award, Best Actress Award, and Best Picture Award.

This time, William Freeman, who performed well in "The Shawshank Redemption", is about to be disappointed. The best actor fell on Ben Kingsley. The British-Indian actor won the award for his outstanding performance in "The Legend of Gandhi", which is the one who played the role of the Jewish accountant in "Schindler's List" that will help Spielberg, the Jewish descendant, get what he wants in the future.

"William! You are a good actor, and one day you will win the award!" Li Siming comforted him at the disappointed Freeman, while dozens of cameras in the audience captured everyone's expressions, especially those who were frustrated. "Believe me, never giving up is the quality that everyone should stick to!"

"Thank you, Lee!" Freeman was very grateful. "No matter what, it's ridiculously, I should have said this."

"Then let's encourage each other!" Li Siming's face was brilliant, without any disappointment at all. The most regrettable thing is probably Li Siming. The two films only won three awards that are not important in Hollywood.
Chapter completed!
