Chapter 255 Understanding the King and Madness
"On January 3, 1996, James Cameron called me to his home and asked me to choose the one I like the most from a bunch of photos. In his words, that is 'Our favorite It’s good to find a guy who makes you want to marry at the first sight, if you can’t even touch yourself, how can you touch others?’”
"So, I searched for photos there, and when I found you, the casting work was already over."
"I took the photo and told James, either call you here, or I will leave."
"Then, I got your information."
"To be honest, when I opened the file, there was a buzzing sound in my brain. The first thing I saw was nationality, and it said UK, so I didn't look at your height and weight measurements at the second glance. I slid down to acting, and that pile of Shakespeare plays and Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility made my head hurt, and I was like, 'Come on, I don't know that, I'm interested in William's plays Without any research at all, how do I approach this girl?'”
"I was panicked at the time, and I made up some knowledge, and then, you saw it through..."
"I will never forget that night, we stood on the top of the hill where the Hollywood sign was erected, and you rubbed my face to make me sincere. Although you pierced my disguise, when I learned that you After liking me for five years, I am really very happy. Don’t you just praise me for being handsome in front of my face? At the same time, my hanging heart also let go. I think that since we both look at each other, then The next relationship should be very smooth, right?"
"As I expected, in the past two years, we have only a handful of times apart. Although more than a year of this time was dedicated to the preparation and filming of "Titanic", you turned down all the work and stayed with me. , is also an indisputable fact.”
"Maybe there is no ups and downs between us that outsiders want to hear, and there is no life and death like Jack and Ruth, but I think this is good enough. I believe that no one wants to see that you put the I push into the sea."
"The 700-plus days of getting along is really short for those who have spent their entire lives hand in hand, but those guys have all come from this 700-plus days. We have a good start, I also hope that the good will continue, so I asked David to help me buy the Wittelsbach blue diamond and cut it into the current shape."
"Familiar, right? It was cut for 'Ocean Star', and I named it 'Future'."
"When I met you, I met my future."
When Roland personally put on Kate the 'Ocean Star' Minus version, which he called the 'Future' necklace, Kate, who was able to restrain her emotions when winning the Best Actress, finally couldn't restrain herself now that she didn't cry Hold back the tears that fill my eyes.
A series of teardrops continued to slide down her cheeks. Even though she was on the stage, even though she knew there were hundreds of spectators below, even though she understood that this was a live broadcast across the United States, she still covered her mouth and nose with her hands, and her heaving chest seemed to be Telling the world about her excitement, and the trembling that was visible to the naked eye showed the joy in her heart to the fullest.
Just when she looked at her lover in front of her with complicated eyes, her mind went blank, and she didn't know what to say even though she was trying to organize her words, Roland, who finished putting on the necklace for her, took another step back and put his right hand into his trouser pocket.
A ring box, which he took out.
After opening it, the heart-shaped pink diamond was faithfully presented on the big screen by the ABC cameraman who rushed to the stage carrying the camera.
Then, Roland knelt down on one knee.
Looking up at Kate, he smiled and said, "We've been together for more than seven hundred days, but I haven't given you a ring."
"Because I think giving a ring is a very sacred thing. If we give a ring before we think it through, the meaning of the ring will only add a lot of burden to our steadily growing relationship."
"When we have been to each other's homes, we have a certain understanding of each person's growth environment and growth experience, and we can still be together happily. I personally feel that the basis for giving rings is already established."
"So, I went to prepare it."
"According to my vision, I am going to give it to you after the Oscars."
"We met because of the movie, so I also hope that our relationship can last as long as the life of the movie."
"However, since the judges have chosen me to stand on this stage, now is the best opportunity."
"So, I want to give it to you here..."
"At the same time, I want to ask you a question..."
"Kate, will you marry me?"
"Oh~~~" (↗)
"咻~~~"（↗↘↗）
"Promise him!!"
As soon as Roland finished speaking, the originally silent venue erupted instantly.
Earlier, when Roland asked for time and hoped that the guests would not drive him off, the people in the circle were very puzzled, because they really didn't know what this guy who was so good at talking about on stage wanted to say something.
Slap them hard in the face?
Or show your fists arrogantly?
Or just diss the rotten program?
No matter what kind of situation it is, it is the result they don't want to see.
If you win the award according to the process, then follow the process to give a speech.
First express your surprise and excitement, then tell the story of your growth, express how hard you have been through these years, and then thank all the guys who helped you on the bright side, and thank the judges who chose you, fair The impartial academy, as well as the countless fans who supported you, are giving concluding remarks at the end, stepping down with the trend, isn't it over?
As for the rest of what you said?
You don’t need to prepare for this!
Don't make trouble, please!
Back then, your teacher didn't win an Oscar, so he sprayed all over the academy judges, but you did!
However, their worries didn't last long, and they were overwhelmed by the necklace Roland took out.
And when Roland took out the ring in the box and held it in the air, just as Kate stretched out her hand, there were booing shouts, unexpected exclamations, and congratulatory applause, all intertwined because—
They will all get it wrong.
Or, at this moment, everyone is possessed by the King of Understanding!
"Oh! Shit! Roland went to great lengths to get Steven and the Big Six to help him make such a big fuss, and the result was to propose on the Oscars, which is a live broadcast across the United States? My God! If I were Kate, I would get a certificate with him tomorrow went!"
Robert Duvall, who received a call from Steven Spielberg to canvass votes, while applauding, also complained to Dustin Hoffman beside him with a look of shock: "The young people nowadays play Are you that crazy?"
Dustin Hoffman, who also only knew that Roland was going to win the award, but didn't know that he was asking for marriage, shook his head and turned his attention to Martin Scorsese, who was present today to present the honorary award, and found that the old man was also surprised After applauding, he said: "Maybe... Wasn't there a rumor that Roland deliberately disgusted Harvey for Kate's sake?"
"And Tom also told me that Kate really loves Roland. During the filming of "Saving Private Ryan", she accompanied the crew throughout the whole process, and Roland also loves Kate. The emotional scenes are all framed by her."
"The relationship between the two is so good, so the marriage proposal should be the motivation for winning the prize?"
"What should be? He has already done it on stage! We are all cheated by him!"
Sitting next to the two, Robert De Niro, who was in charge of presenting the best documentary award tonight, said with a smile: "Steven and Roland hide too deeply! I have always been weird before, and Roland doesn't care at all. The award guy, why is he going to compete in the Olympics all of a sudden? It turns out that the competition for the Olympics is fake, but the proposal on the stage is real!"
"He must be worried that we won't vote for him after learning that his purpose of going on stage is only to propose marriage, so he made such a big fuss before! And Steven! He is an accomplice!"
That's right! After seeing Roland kneeling on one knee and proposing to Kate, the guys who didn't know what kind of deal there was between Roland and the Big Six all thought wrongly. They thought that Roland won the prize because of the proposal, not because of the prize. , This is the proposal.
In their view, there is no need for Roland, a guy with countless thick thighs, to be in a hurry to win the prize.
Continue to mix in the business field, and when the age is almost the same, just form a full gold lineup and go up.
You are only ten years and one hundred months old now, it is too easy for people to be embarrassed by winning awards at this age.
However, if it is for a marriage proposal, then they can understand.
Which girl doesn't want her man to know how to be romantic?
And at the live broadcast of the Oscars, which is watched by tens of millions of people at the same time, a marriage proposal...
This special code is something that even novels dare not write!
Unlike the hundreds of guests at the scene who all guessed the situation wrong, the executives of the media giant who were watching the live broadcast at home and Steven Spielberg, who was in charge of matchmaking, were stunned at the moment!
Knowing the inside story, they never imagined that when faced with the most ambiguous clause in the transaction of 'making a big news', Roland actually spent all his money and gave Stud his entire life into it?
Grab the grass!
We have been in business for so many years, and we have never seen such a solid partner!
Michael Eisner, who asked Roland to make a proper confession at the Oscars, stared at the TV dumbfounded. At a certain moment, he even wondered if he was still immersed in sleep.
"A lot of people say you're boring. If it wasn't because you have parents, they would even suspect that you are Steven's son, because you, like him, know how to play video games all the time..."
"Before, when I heard this kind of comment, I just laughed at most, but now..."
"How could you be Steven's son!"
"How could that introverted guy give birth to a lunatic like you?"
"Propose at the Oscars?"
"Can you do this kind of thing?"
"Film history box office record! Best actor and actress at the Oscars! Marriage proposal at the Oscars! And that 'hope' cut from a Wittelsbach blue diamond? And that heart-shaped pink diamond ring?"
"Wait, CNN seems to have reported before that a wealthy American businessman spent 50 million to buy a bunch of gemstones, and among them were 2.3 carat pink diamonds and Wittelsbach blue diamonds..."
"Oh! Fuck! In order to propose, you just smashed 50 million in visible jewelry?"
After thinking of this number, the Disney tyrant was dumbfounded.
While stunned, he also admired Roland's behavior very much.
He likes this kind of guy who cooperates with him in doing things!
While expressing shock at Roland's extreme showmanship, the Disney Emperor directly dialed ABC, "Tell me, what's the ratings?"
"When Kate won the award, it was 55 million? When James won the award, it was 59 million? When Roland won the award, it was 64 million? When he proposed, it reached 71 million? And the data is still there. Lift?"
"Estimated to reach 75 million when the best picture comes out?"
"Have you miscalculated? Can Roland's marriage proposal drive more than 20 million ratings? It's eleven o'clock at night!"
"What? Exactly?"
"IMDb and Yahoo have been overwhelmed? Now there is only one MSN that can call the server?"
"Roland personally suppressed his own industry? Let Microsoft get a new life?"
Yes, when ABC dutifully delivered the picture of Kate winning the award to every corner of America, thousands of families and countless voices exclaimed to the TV.
Kate actually won an award?
She actually won the Best Actress?
What about our Roland?
There are only six times in the history of the Oscars that the Best Actress and Best Actor were awarded to a person in a movie at the same time!
Those judges definitely did it on purpose!
Then the Internet began to scold...
Although Roland and Kate have already made an official announcement, if there is a problem, 99% of the fans will still stand by Roland.
After all, I watched him for eight years, and I broke a series of records with him, and made his movie the top three box office in film history...
Compared to Roland, Kate, who is British, is an outsider.
If Kate confronts others, they will definitely stand on Kate's side, but if Roland and Kate have conflicts, they must protect Roland's interests. After all, from the perspective of a fan whose **** determines the head, Kate can When the official announcement was made, it was all high praise. No matter how good the relationship between the two was, Roland couldn't be harmed by Kate's interests.
So, all of a sudden, the Internet was filled with postings about breaking up, criticizing the judges, punching the same batch of nominees, and stomping on Academy Oscar posts. While these people were making a fuss, those who hadn’t watched the live broadcast turned on the TV one after another However, when they found out that James had also won the best director, among the 15 nominations, Roland seemed to be the only one who missed the award...
The scolding became even stronger.
In this crazy attack, IMDb was the first to die. After the IMDb netizens switched to Yahoo, Yahoo also went down one after another. When these two websites exploded one after another, most of the guys who wanted to continue to curse flooded into MSN .
This website, which has been unable to do Yahoo all the year round, has somehow become the portal website with the highest real-time visits on the Internet.
In an instant, he became the most beautiful cub at the moment.
Of course, Microsoft is also confused.
Because they have never seen that a competitor will die on the traffic news of their boss.
Your boss can drain traffic, but you can’t eat the traffic your boss attracts?
This, this, this... This is simply free!
With the influx of these people, the MSN community suddenly became a mess.
Of course, while disturbing the atmosphere, they actually also made a certain contribution to the ratings.
Some guys who originally thought that Roland could not win the prize did not watch the live broadcast in order not to be sad. After seeing the offensive words, some guys who were waiting for the results turned on the TV in distraught. They wanted to know which one it was. The unlucky boy will win the best actor who can't be won.
Then…
Roland's name spread throughout thousands of households, and rolled across America.
? ? ?
When the guys who were watching the live broadcast and typing on the keyboard frantically discovered that Roland had won the Oscar for Best Actor, the guys who were still there Fuckyou all froze.
Roland won the award?
Roland actually won the prize? ?
The academy actually gave the award to Roland? ? ?
We scolded the wrong person?
Should we not scold the Academy? ?
Should we target the previous awards that didn't go to him? ? ?
Academy is not the same as other awards, or is it fair and just?
After such self-doubt appeared, the number of new posts and replies on MSN dropped sharply during that period.
Before these guys recovered, Roland gave an acceptance speech that wasn't an acceptance speech.
When Roland put Kate on a necklace that was highly similar to the one in the movie, he was as excited as ghosts and wolves, and bravely came out...
When Kate, who was crying so hard, stretched out her hand, let Roland put the ring on herself, and then threw herself into Roland's arms regardless of her image, holding Roland's head and giving the most eager response...
Microsoft who was still laughing at Amazon and Yahoo just now, can't laugh anymore...
Because MSN was also crashed...
Not only that, those guys who were tearing Kate up before also completely forgot what they did...
"Omg! OMG! OMG!! I can't breathe!!"
"That necklace is too beautiful, isn't it? Where did you buy the pink diamond heart-shaped ring? Roland is so hardworking!"
"Roland's acceptance speech for winning the Oscar for Best Actor turned out to be 'Kate, will you marry me?'??"
"Roland proposed to someone? The guy I have liked for eight years is going to get married?? Ah!! My youth is over!!"
"So touching! So touching! I don't know why I'm crying!! But I'm crying!!"
"It's so romantic! A marriage proposal broadcast live across the United States! I'm so envious of Kate! Compared with Roland, my boyfriend is as stupid as a pig!"
"When I was watching "Titanic", I wanted to ask them to get married in place. Now...I really saw Roland propose to Kate. Why do I feel so uncomfortable? Is it because I haven't found someone who loves me? No! It’s definitely not my problem, it must be that God only cares about them! I must watch "Titanic" again tomorrow! The DVD seems to be released tomorrow? Then buy a box too! "My Heart Will Go On" will also be on the shelves tomorrow ?Gosh! I want to buy it too! God! Please look at me when you look at them, okay? I just want a boyfriend who loves me...uh, must be handsome? Be famous? Then A little richer? It's better to be as romantic as Roland?"
Note: ①In the history of the Oscar, there are only seven times in the history of the Oscar to be awarded to the guy who was nominated for the same movie. Among them, Jack Nicholson was awarded twice, once for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and once for "As Good as It Gets", and then down is The Fonda family I wrote about before, Jane Fonda won once with "Return", her father Henry Fonda won once with "Golden Pond" and Katharine Hepburn. I wrote it six times in the article because "As Good as It Gets" was awarded in that session.
