In the long history of Oscar, there are many moments worth remembering, but three of them are forever imprinted in the annals of history.

One is that Marlon Brando refused to receive his second Oscar winner, but instead sent a young Indian girl to oppose the American society’s oppression of the Indians. Family. Discrimination; one is Woody Allen, who has always refused to attend the Oscars after the September 11th Incident in 2001, appeared at the Oscars for the first and last time in his career, just for his beloved New York.

Another was at the 68th Oscars held on March 25, 1996. Christopher Reeve, who was paralyzed in a horse fall accident a few months ago, appeared at the awards ceremony.

Hugo never expected that he was so honored to be one of these three moments, although as early as three years ago, Hugo met Christopher on Broadway in New York, when Hugo was to visit Catherine. -Hepburn, unexpectedly had a fate with Christopher, but Hugo at that time did not expect that one day he would stand on the Oscar stage with this legendary figure in the future.

The reason why Christopher is so special in the long history of Hollywood is not only because his superman image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but also because he has always faced life with a positive attitude after being paralyzed. This is for the American society that is gradually recovering from the turmoil of the economic crisis. In other words, it is a spiritual force that is difficult to replace.

Especially last year, the entire United States experienced great turmoil, including the challenges accepted by the uncrowned kings, the criticisms faced by social indifference, etc. Under this background, it is like the Samose in the "seven deadly sins". People gradually lose confidence in society and face social problems with a negative, negative or even avoiding mentality. But Christopher, who was in the greatest crisis of his life, showed a completely different look and brought hope to people.

Therefore, Christopher accepted the invitation today and appeared on the Oscar stage.

"Are you ready? Do we need to speak to a pair of lines? Or, do it on the spot?" Hugo didn't seem to notice Christopher's wheelchair at all, and sat down across from him with a smile, and took the staff to hand it over. Teleprompter card.

Christopher saw the gentle smile on Hugo’s face, sincere and sincere, equal and bright, which made Christopher’s heart warm, "I think I’m relying on you. I used to see you at the awards ceremony, and your eloquence is always good. , Isn't it?"

Hugo patted his shoulder lightly, "Huh, pressure." This simple gesture made both Christopher and Dana laugh. "Mrs. Reeve..." Hugo raised her head and looked at Dana who was standing by. She also smiled, "Please call me Dana."

Hugo shrugged, "Of course, Dana. Do I need to pay attention to anything? I'm not familiar with wheelchairs, and maybe need some guidance." Hugo did not shy away from Christopher's situation, but just mentioned it calmly. thing.

The contact with children in the past few months has made Hugo clearly aware that, in fact, many times people are cautious because they worry about hurting each other's self-esteem, but it is the greatest harm to each other. Pity and sympathy are of no use or help to them, on the contrary they will only bring out their condescending sense of superiority.

Therefore, Hugo did not deliberately avoid taboos, and did not deliberately show caution. He just said it normally, as if asking Christopher whether he smoked himself or not. This is just an ordinary topic. Indeed, Christopher is no different from them, except that the way of action is different.

Dana felt Hugo's friendliness, and her emotions suddenly became agitated, making her choked a little. It’s a great honor to be invited to the Oscars ceremony today, but everyone treats them with care. Dana knows that everyone is taking care of their feelings, but this one is careful to put them down. As for the position of the victim, only the person involved knows that taste. But Dana and the others have a hard time saying that they can't get angry at each other just because of the friendliness and sympathy of strangers, right?

Christopher seemed to notice Dana's choking, and chuckled lightly, "She is a bit exaggerated, maybe because you are too attractive."

Hugo also laughed, politely placing his right hand on his left shoulder, and bending over to salute, "This is my honor." This suddenly made Dana laugh.

Then Dana explained Hugo some precautions hand in hand, which is indeed not an easy task. So Hugo didn't have time to check the manuscript with Christopher, so he could only concentrate on studying.

In a blink of an eye, the staff informed Hugo and Christopher that they should go to the side stage to wait. Coming to the side stage, Dana was sure that there was no problem, she hugged Hugo gently, and whispered in Hugo's ear, "I will trouble you next." Then she returned to the waiting room.

Hugo supported Christopher's wheelchair handle with both hands, and wanted to look down at the teleprompter in his right hand, but found that the light was too dim, so he could only take a deep breath to relax. In the end, Christopher noticed Hugo's nervousness and chuckled lightly, "Man, don't worry, you are not alone on the stage today."

At this moment, Steven Spielberg, who had just presented Kirk Douglas with the honorary award, stepped back from the side stage. As soon as Steven looked up, he saw Hugo, and he stood up to Hugo. He gave his thumb, then bowed his head and said hello to Christopher, and then walked into the waiting room.

After Hugo was prompted by the staff, Hugo pushed Christopher's wheelchair and stepped towards the stage.

Stepping onto the stage, the audience was a pale yellow light, which looked a little dark, and then a spotlight shattered and enveloped Hugo and Christopher. When they were seen at the scene, everyone stood up. Applause, the thunderous applause whistled the tsunami at the scene, and you could clearly feel that these applauses were all given to Christopher, and the kind of admiration and respect from the heart accompanied the applause in my heart.

Hugo pushed Christopher to the center of the stage and asked Christopher to be baptized by applause, but he himself squatted down and put down the pillars of the wheelchair to ensure that the wheelchair would not move autonomously, and then carefully confirmed that the dropper was not involved in the wheelchair. In his wheels, and checked the connection between the dropper and the glass bottle, and after confirming that everything was okay, he stood up and stood beside Christopher.

This inspection took at least 20 seconds, but after the applause on the scene gradually subsided, it was silent. No one disturbed Hugo's actions. Even the director did not urge Hugo to make this year's Oscar live broadcast. A gap of twenty seconds is really rare.

Hugo put his hands in front of him, smiled and said, "Wow, what a wonderful silence, it almost makes me think I'm in the wrong place." This light-hearted joke made everyone on the scene chuckle. , And then Hugo continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome Christopher Reeve." Hugo pointed his hands at the wheelchair man beside him, and the applause broke out again.

After finally waiting for the applause to diminish a little, Christopher smiled and said, "Thank you Hugo for your thoughtfulness, I think maybe you can consider looking at the work of the caregiver." This made the scene chuckle again, "In the past. In the past year, many special things have happened in the United States. We have deeply felt many problems from society, and we must pay attention to them."

Everyone was quiet. Everyone knows that this is why Christopher appeared on the Oscar scene today.

"In addition to me, Hugo, who is standing next to me, has a lot of things happening to him..." Christopher said half of it, and then paused. The second half was obviously given to Hugo.

Hugo also came together in a tacit understanding, "It is true, but I am not sure, which one you are talking about, first of all, I must declare that I am really not a murderer, children, that is just a movie." Rain Guo’s self-ridicule made the scene laugh. Hugo went on to say, “Economic difficulties, rising unemployment, high crime rates, racial discrimination... Our society is facing countless problems every day. In order to solve these problems, we need not only The efforts of society also require the efforts of each of us."

"That's right, I hope you don't get the wrong idea that Hugo is really crazy..." Christopher who took over the topic said calmly. This was a satire of the media oolong during the filming of "Death Row", and Hugo continued solemnly. He said, "I hope everyone will not misunderstand that Chris is no longer alive." This sentence is obviously very heavy, but under Hugo's narration, there is a little more joy, and many people at the scene smiled. Then Hugo said, "Then, please enjoy the short film on the big screen."

Immediately, the lights of the audience dimmed, and a short montage reflecting social issues began to be played on the big screen, reflecting many social phenomena of the past year including Hugo, including Christopher , Also including Michael Jackson, who was so innocent, which calmed everyone on the scene.

After the lights came on again, Christopher said again, “As a member of the film industry, each of us has the responsibility and obligation to produce more works that reflect social issues. This is an important part of society. Spiritual wealth."

Then Hugo went on to say, "Of course, Jurassic Park is very beautiful and very profitable, but at the same time, we also need works like the Seven Deadly Sins to remind everyone that the indifference of society needs us more. Sorry, I seem to be standing on the Oscar stage to advertise.” Hugo suddenly said with an embarrassment on his face, making the scene froze, and then everyone burst into laughter.

"Hugo, maybe you can say'Forrest Gump'." Christopher reminded him kindly from the side.

"Yes, Forrest Gump, maybe the society needs more thought-provoking works like this so that everyone pays enough attention to social issues." Hugo said solemnly, "Of course, what I emphasize is not at the box office. Part, but part of Forrest."

In an instant, everyone in the audience burst into laughter.
