American Legendary Life

Chapter 83: Charlie Charlie



"I believe that this day is great and it is worth remembering that we are creating a new era in the film industry." Douglas turned generously and turned to the back of the stage: "And here, we would like to thank a special guest, Charlie~~ Lee ."

In the elongated tone, Li Zitao took the microphone and walked onto the stage. The loud applause sounded again, accompanied by a sharp whistle.

   "Thank you, thank you very much Douglas for the introduction. Although he forgot to say that I have the greatest advantage, I still thank him." Li Zitao took the topic humorously and finished with a disgusted expression.

   The applause of sparse Lala sounded, and Li Zitao sniffed the audience and said, "What? Do you want to know my merits?"

   "Yes." The laughter sounded one after another.

   "Well..." Grin smiled, Li Zitao said; "This is a secret!"

   "Hahaha..." The audience laughed.

   They suddenly learned more about this wealthy Chinese. People with a sense of humor will always be favored by people.

   "There are excellent directors, producers, editors, actors and so on. I am honored to be with you tonight. This is a great moment."

Li Zitao spoke, turned his head to look at Louis Mayer's direction, and looked at the taste: "Thank you to Louis, because he inspired my inner love for the film and was able to contribute to the film career. It is my pride. Thank you, Louis."

  Meyer's complexion turned to blue, but she still had to hold up a smile. Around him, the reporters raised the camera and pressed the shutter button.

  Who doesn’t know the origin of Oscar is because of Louis Meyer’s insatiable greed, the news has been spread all over Hollywood.

   Now this scene is the best news material for every reporter, ‘Challenges of rich Chinese businessmen to the King of Hollywood? ? ’

   The applause of sparse Lala sounded, but it was not quiet at all, especially Douglas on the stage, as well as representatives of other companies, the red palm was not willing to let go.

   But other people are not very enthusiastic, especially the director and the actor, and there is basically no applause, which is enough to prove Louis's status in Hollywood.

   "From silent to sound, we are at the forefront of the development of the film industry, this magical world full of fantasy, given to the world..."

   Tribute to the era of silent films, the future prospects of the film industry, after a passionate speech, all filmmakers apologized and slammed their hands hard.

   "The delay is long enough, Douglas, how long are you going to make the curtain next to it? Below, give the time to our Mr. Robin Hood."

  Li Zitao, who ended the performance, returned to the background and listened to Douglas's gratitude on the stage: "Thanks to Charlie for his wonderful speech, oh, I'm about to cry..."

   Back to the audience, Douglas has started the first award, the best makeup.

   Prior to this, no one thought of makeup, costume design, scenery, photography, art, etc., and these behind-the-scenes work can also have independent awards. This alone has made Li Zitao enjoy the favor of countless behind-the-scenes workers.

   behind the scenes will always be ignored, even they do not have hope, and the Academy Awards give them a glorious time unique to them.

   "What won the best makeup award this time is..." Douglas opened the golden envelope in his hand on the stage, but Li Zitao's attention was not on it.

   It doesn't matter to him who wins the award, the important thing is whether the award can be recognized.

  After each selection, the chamber of commerce will send people to major theaters to conduct opinion surveys to determine the impression of the selection results in the audience's minds.

   The previous Oscar was quite tall, but it was too far away from massification, and later gradually turned to commercialization. Although this transition is very slow, it is indeed changing.

  Li Zitao does not want to wait for its model to be fixed, and then change it, from the beginning Oscar will go to the double standards of high-end and close to life.

   But these are not the reasons why he is distracted. Looking at the calm side face beside him, Li Zitao felt for the first time since the rebirth, what a feeling of heart movement.

   Greta could feel the hot eyes, which made her a little restless, and she used to be a single figure in the past, and was not used to this close hotness.

   From the first "torrent", Greta Garbo has countless suitors.

   And the "Fat and Devil", which was completed two years ago, made her a Hollywood actress, which brought her glory and aura, but also brought a lot of trouble.

   Such as those hot eyes from men, letters of pursuit, some weird messages, and praise from everyone, so she was at a loss.

  People seem to be paying attention to her appearance. Some people describe her as "a face that can only be met in a thousand years", "Mona Lisa on the screen", and "creative creations".

   But it wasn't enough to make her happy. Instead, she had a resistance to communication, and she began to miss Stiller again.

   The man who cast her in one hand and left alone was very special and irreplaceable for her, and at the same time allowed her to live a rich life.

   At the age of 13, Greta dropped out of school to take care of her father at home. After her father's death, she could only try to find a way to live alone.

   At the age of 14, Greta became a model because of her beautiful appearance, but in this circle, there has never been less scamming and shooting.

   Only 14-year-old Greta doesn't understand the world of adults, and she has a shocking face, so no matter where she goes, she is the one who is excluded.

  This kind of life experience casts her lonely character.

By chance, Stiller discovered her in the crowd. At that time, everyone was praising her beauty. Only he said this: "You have a good figure, shoulder width, narrow hips, and good legs. Your face is very good. Unusual, the eyes are beautiful, the eyelashes are long, and the voice is also good. But it is too fat, it is ugly to walk, and it does not laugh."

   Greta is both surprised and curious. This is the first time she has heard such a "critical" evaluation. Isn't she beautiful?

  With such doubts, she began to accept Stiller's makeover, it was he who brought Greta into the high-end restaurant and taught her how to eat.

   was he orthodontic for Greta, bought the most expensive dress, and dressed her as an angel.

   is that he often takes Greta around for a walk, teaching her the rules of the film circle, anecdotes of Hollywood people.

   is also under the pressure of MGM, for Greta to get the opportunity to appear in "torrent", let her embark on the road to fame.

   But when she just became famous, Stiller, who was not going well in Hollywood, chose to leave and return to his country, Sweden.

Before leaving, Stiller invited her to go together, Greta rejected him for the first time.

  Only Greta knew that she was not reluctant to go with him, but she was afraid to start again and to lose her present life, because she was already poor.

   Shortly after Stiller left, Greta was invited to participate in the filming of "The Flesh and the Devil", in which she really fell in love with the passionate John Gilbert.

   At that time, John was like the man beside him, his eyes were hot, with strong aggression and domineering, let the indifferent her melt.

  Unfortunately, in the end, they parted ways, because Greta resisted marriage.

  She was not ready yet, and the repeated pursuit of John made the two move away.

  No one knows what she thinks in her heart, why she doesn’t want to accept the proposal of a loved one, only Greta knows the reason.

   Because in her heart, there is a man who cannot be forgotten, Stiller.

   So when she realized that Li Zitao was getting closer and closer, and wanted to speak up, Greta turned her head to the right and talked casually with the unfamiliar Paramount production manager.

   "BOSS, she is hiding from you." Ai Mo, sitting behind him, leaned forward and said with a chuckle, Li Zitao's teeth tickled.

   "I know very well, I don't need you to remind me." Li Zitao said a little annoyedly, is this a disadvantage for being a teacher?

   It's just that none of them noticed that there was another person on the scene who was watching Greta, that was Louis Meyer, who was looking very bright.

  He was just paying attention to Li Zitao, planning how to get him out of Hollywood.

   But when Greta talked with Paramount's production manager Fu Er, his attention turned to it, and his complexion became more and more gloomy.

   Greta is MGM's red actress, but now?

   She is whispering to the people of Paramount~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Whispering, it seems that the exchange between the two is still very pleasant.

   "Does she even have to betray?" Lewis gritted his teeth, and his heart was filled with anger.

   This **** woman not only ignored his hints, but because of the director's care, always asked for a higher pay, like a greedy sow.

  For the sake of the box office, he repeatedly suppressed his inner anger, but to see what she had done, even talking to the enemy, "Damn traitor, you should all go to hell."

   Lewis turned his gaze to the top of the stage, and Douglas's handsome, smiling face made him bleed his gums.

   Perhaps it was the sixth sense from the woman. Greta noticed that another eye was watching her, and when she looked up not far away, it happened to meet Louis' angry eyes.

   "Oops." Greta instantly figured out why he was angry.

   Just now she only considered how to avoid Li Zitao's entanglement, but forgot that the person in front was Paramount. The relationship between MGM and Paramount was not very pleasant.

   No wonder when they just talked, the other party's eyes always shone with excitement. Greta thought it was her charm, and now she finally turned back.

   But after the initial panic, Greta regained her peace. She had confidence in herself. As long as she did not expressly want to leave, Louis should not embarrass herself.

  Know that she is one of Hollywood's most box-office actresses, no one will be against money, right?

   "The award-winning work of the best film is, Seventh Heaven, congratulations Frank Boschaki." Douglas announced the final heavyweight award on the stage.

  The applause was thunderous, everyone got up and applauded, and the first Oscar Awards ended in cheers.
