Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 271

Chapter 271 Charlize Theron

The process of the Oscar ceremony generally starts from supporting actor awards to music editing, technology, makeup, script, etc. In the second half, the more important awards for best actor and actress, best director and best picture are awarded.

Link sat backstage for a while, waiting for Kristen to come back after handing out the awards. He joined Jennifer Lopez at the organizer, received the envelope containing the winner's name, and then queued up at the backstage exit.

Jennifer Lopez is a Latin queen. She is 41 years old this year. Her parents are Puerto Rican immigrants. She first debuted as an actress and has acted in more famous movies such as "Anaconda", "The Kidnapper", "Jersey Girl" and "Cinderella in Manhattan". .

　　In 1999, he released his first single, which topped the Billboard singles chart. The following year, he released his debut album "onthe6", which sold more than 500,000 copies in the first week and more than 3 million copies in the United States.

She has released six albums in the past ten years, with sales of more than 30 million copies worldwide. She is also known as the Latin Queen and is extremely famous in the United States and Americas.

She is also Ben Affleck's future wife and Puff Daddy's ex-girlfriend. She is a woman with a very complicated identity. Rumor has it that the rivalry between East and West rappers in the 1990s also had something to do with her.

After she divorced her ex-husband in 1998, she became Diddy's girlfriend again. Her ex-husband was dissatisfied and sold their private tapes to Sugar Knight, the boss behind the West Coast rap gang. He is the founder of Death Row Records and has launched Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Nat Dogg, dr.dre and other rappers.

Suge Knight used Jennifer's video to mock Diddy, which made Diddy so embarrassed that the two sides almost didn't use guns.

However, Jennifer's current husband is Latin singer Marc Anthony, who has little relationship with the East Coast rapper.

"Link, your new song "Allofme" is very good, with a soul-like music style."

Jennifer Lopez said.

“Thank you, the songs in the new album are mainly pop music, but also mixed with some other types of music.”

Link briefly explained that in addition to "allofme", the third album also has 21 classic love songs such as "Closer", "girlslikeyou" and "TheWomanILove". The style of the songs is mainly pop, mixed with rock, dance, Electronic music, soul music, country, etc.

The love theme of the album is relatively old-fashioned, but the style is novel and groundbreaking. This also makes Link not sure whether fans and the market will accept this album, and he is not sure how much this album will sell.

Just being forced to compete for the rankings, he could only resort to tricks.

“Awesome! It's hard to believe you are only twenty-one years old.”

Jennifer Lopez laughed.

“You have to become famous as early as possible. I am also following the example of your predecessors.”

Link shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

While they were talking, the best art direction award was being awarded at the front desk, and the winners were the film art directors from the "Avatar" crew.

The guest who presented this award was the big star Charlize Theron. She was wearing a gold breast-wrapped dress. She is still in good condition at the age of thirty-five or six, with firm skin, tall figure, and graceful curves. She also has the look of a strong woman. temperament.

She and the art directors of the "Avatar" crew returned from the front desk and saw Link and Lopez standing at the exit. She first said hello to Lopez, and then looked at Link with her charming blue-gray eyes. .

“Mr. Baker, it's nice to meet you. You look really nice.”

Charlize Theron looked him up and down and smiled.

“Thank you, it's nice to meet you too, Ms. Theron, I'm a fan of your movies.”

Link looked at the other person and smiled.

Charlize Theron smiled slightly, said see you later, waved her finger at him and left.

Link and Lopez also congratulated the winning artists.

I heard Alec Baldwin, the live host of this year's Academy Awards, introducing the two award presenters on stage. This is also the style of this year's Oscar Awards. Some are serious introductions, and some are ridiculing.

Baldwin was more serious when introducing Lopez, saying that she started out as an actress, then moved to the music industry, and successfully established herself in the music industry. She came to the Oscars today to present an award, and she is a returnee with honors.

When introducing Link, he was not so serious. He said that he participated in a boxing match in 2008, won the Olympic championship, and became a world boxing champion. In 2009, he moved to the music industry and became the best-selling singer of the year. He won the Grammy Award for Best of the Year. Make.

Now that he has moved to the film industry, Baldwin said in a joking tone, "I bet he will win the Oscar for Best Actor next year."

This sentence caused a burst of laughter at the scene.

Link was also helpless.

Before he even got on the stage, his colleagues in the film industry were wary of him and regarded him as a strong competitor. If he wanted to win the Oscar for Best Actor, he would probably be more difficult to win than Leonardo and Robert Downey Jr. Harder.

During Baldwin's introduction, the staff reminded Link and Lopez that they could appear, and Lopez took his arm and walked to the podium.

The Oscar podium is much smaller than the Grammy podium, but it is more artistic in design, brightly lit, and full of technology. It should be cool to get the trophy on this kind of stage. Pah, pah, pah!

Seeing the two people walking up to the microphone, there was a round of applause.

“Link, Alec just bet that you can win the Oscar for Best Actor next year. Are you confident?”

López held the microphone pole and asked with a smile.

“Yes, the most important thing I lack is confidence.”

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from the audience, and director Quentin Tarantino even applauded exaggeratedly. If you are a boxing fan of Link, you will know that this sentence is his mantra, almost every time reporters Ask him if he has confidence and he will say this.

Those who don't know Link have no idea what the joke is in this sentence, and they look at the dozens of laughing people in a strange way.

“I also trust Mr. Baldwin's judgment. He is a veteran in the film industry. He said that if I can get it, it will be fine. If I don't get it, I will consider putting on boxing gloves and visiting him at his home.”

Link clenched his fists and said expressionlessly.

Hahaha!

There was a burst of laughter and applause.

The live director also switched the camera to the backstage, where the host Baldwin covered his forehead and looked scared.

After the show, Link and Lopez began to introduce the five films nominated for this year's Oscar for Best Original Score, "Up", "Avatar", "The Fantastic Mr. Fox", "Sherlock Holmes" and "The Hurt Locker" .

When the two are introduced, the soundtrack clips of the five shortlisted films will be displayed on the large screen at the rear, with each film lasting 15 seconds.

The final award-winning composer of "Up" is Mike Giacchino, who is also a famous Hollywood film composer and has scored films such as "The Incredibles", "The Stones" and "Mission: Impossible 3".

After the awards, Link and Lopez returned backstage and saw that Kristen was still there, holding a lollipop in her mouth, a movie magazine in her hand, wearing a formal dress, and her calves wrapped on the sofa. It's not ladylike at all.

“Where's my lollipop?”

Link walked over and asked. In order to embarrass Christine, before going on stage, he deliberately opened the lollipop, bit it for a while, and then asked Christine to hold it in her hand and wait for him.

"Give!"

Christine took out the lollipop from her mouth and handed it to him, leaving only the size of a glass bead.

Link raised his eyebrows, "Did you eat my candy?"

"if not!"

Christine gave a proud look and said, "Let me tell you one thing, never let a girl who likes candy keep candy."

“Okay, I remember.”

"for you!"

Christine insisted on giving him the remaining lollipops.

Link held it in his hand and didn't know whether he should throw it away.

“You dislike me? I didn't dislike you just now.”

Christine had a cold face, wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows, and her expression was a little angry.

Link shrugged his shoulders and could only eat the remaining lollipop.

Christine nodded with satisfaction and continued to flip through the movie magazine on her lap.

“Aren't you going to watch the award ceremony from the front?”

According to the organizer's plan, after the awarding guests complete their tasks, they can reach the seating area in the front hall through another channel.

“I won't go, it's boring.”

“Then I'll go, and the next one will be the award for the best original song.”

“It's useless for you to go, they won't give you this award.”

Christine complained. When she saw him leaving, she dropped the magazine and got up to catch up with him.
