Chapter 415: The First Oscar Winner in China!
The Oscars gala brings together world-class movie stars.
It is a top-level event with a high reputation all over the world.
The number of people watching the live broadcast is even more numerous.
But if you talk about the hottest, it's still Huaxia.
Because Huaxia netizens know that tonight, China's top actors are likely to make history!
"Are you nervous?" Yan Chi sat in his seat, looked at Hong Chen next to him, and asked.
"I don't feel anything yet. Hong Chen looked very calm.
Hong Chen smiled and greeted the stars he knew, including Bale, Gal Gadot, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, etc., and everyone responded to him in a friendly manner.
"Long time no see, Hong, you're getting more and more attractive now. Gal Gadot was still very sexy, and came to him and smiled with him.
"So do you, Miss Gal Gadot. Hong Chen replied very kindly.
"Looks like someone is going to have a good harvest tonight. Gal Gadot smiled mysteriously again.
Hong Chen shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "Before the mystery is revealed, who knows." ”
The two of them chatted a few more words, and more and more superstars came and went, and they went to say hello to others again.
There are also a few actors who found Yan Chi chatting, Yan Chi is now a hot Hollywood director, and they naturally have to build a good relationship.
Then, after a while, when it was half past five, the awards party officially began.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!"
The hostess is dressed in a golden backless outfit with a long skirt underneath, sexy and elegant, blonde hair and blue eyes, which is pleasing to the eye.
The male host is also tall and well-suited.
"Now, this Oscars has officially begun!"
Then, the opening dance ended and the award ceremony began.
"First of all, the Best Director Award!"
"The director who won this year's Academy Award for Best Director is:"
Yan Chi, The Shawshank Redemption. ”
The first award made Yan Chi, who was sitting below, stunned.
It wasn't until Hong Chen pushed him that he reacted.
So fast?
I'm still stunned!
He was still thinking about how nervous he must have been when he arrived, but the first award was the Best Director Award, and it was announced directly.
This made him not expect.
However, I am naturally glad to have won the award.
Yan Chi hurriedly stood up, looking a little excited, he hugged Hong Chen, Freeman and others, and then walked on stage and took the trophy that belonged to him.
"Thank you, first of all, thank you to the whole crew...... Thank you screenwriter Weilan, he is really the person I admire the most...... Thank you Hong Chen, he is the best actor I have ever met...... Thank you Mr. Morgan also for accepting our invitation......."
Yan Chi said a lot of words of gratitude, which can be called a panacea for acceptance speech.
He had prepared this speech early, so he said it generously and without the slightest problem.
After listening to Yan Chi's speech, everyone knew that this was just an appetizer for today.
The next award is the key.
After Yan Chi stepped down decently, there were also cheers on the Huaxia side, after all, Yan Chi is now one of the top directors in the mainland of China.
"How do you feel?" After Yan Chi came back, Hong Chen asked in a low voice.
"It's so cool!" Yan Chi looked at the golden statue trophy in his hand and said with a little excitement.
"Haha, that's just the beginning. Hong Chen said with a smile.
After seeing Yan Chi win the award, I don't know why, Hong Chen's heart began to get nervous.
After all, his award is at the end.
Moreover, it is the most crucial jackpot of the night.
It can be said that at the Oscars, most people's attention is on the actors and actresses.
After that, awards are given for Best Screenplay, Best Art Direction, Best Editing, and Best Makeup.
"Best Screenplay, The Shawshank Redemption"
"Best Editing, The Shawshank Redemption"
"Best Film, The Shawshank Redemption"
The three awards were won by "The Shawshank Redemption" in a row, and the atmosphere became hot for a while.
Tonight, no doubt, belongs to them.
On the Huaxia side, the cheers were also earth-shattering.
After that, the remaining awards were divided among other films.
In the applause, one after another stars or film and television workers came to the stage, received awards, and spoke.
In just a few minutes of their time on stage, they were the brightest presence of the night.
"Ladies and gentlemen, next, the award is Best Supporting Actor. ”
The nominees were:
"Bakard Abadi, Captain Philip"
"Bradley Cooper's 'The Rice Hoax'"
"12 Years a Slave by Michael Fassbinder"
"Morgan Freeman's The Shawshank Redemption"
Four people appeared on the big screen, all of which were close-ups of real-time projection.
Then, the two presenters walked down the spiral escalators on either side of the Oscars, and after a joke, the winners were announced:
"The winner of this year's Oscar for Best Supporting Actor is:"
The award presenters begin to open the envelope, which is often the most nervous time.
Morgan Freeman, The Shawshank Redemption. ”
"Nice!" the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption" let out a burst of cheers.
Morgan Freeman also laughed, he slowly stood up, and hugged Hong Chen, Yan Chi and others in turn.
In fact, he was under a lot of pressure to take over this movie at that time.
After all, there were many movies looking for him at that time, and he refused them all. But Hong Chen personally came to find him, and after he found out that "The Shawshank Redemption" is indeed a classic, he chose to star in this movie.
The news of his appearance fell to the ears of the director he had refused, and the gang immediately mocked. It's really stupid to say that he didn't want to put an invitation to a big-budget movie, but instead starred in a Chinese movie.
In retrospect, Freeman's choice was undoubtedly the right one.
In the spotlight tonight, there is also his share of honor.
Freeman was originally very popular in the United States, and after he won the trophy, the applause at the party was the warmest. The international superstars applauded him, and it was clear that his popularity was indeed very high.
After that, the Best Supporting Actress was won by Lupita Nyong'o of "12 Years a Slave".
At this time, the Academy Awards Gala officially entered the most critical period.
And the best moment of the night!
Because next, it was the Best Actor that was awarded
The host first invited the award presenters for the Best Actor:
The female guest is the queen of the music world, Taylor Swift, she is wearing a dark purple dress, a low-level costume, and her figure comparable to a supermodel has attracted the attention of countless people.
The male guest is Tom Hanks, who is a very respected actor in the United States and has a very high status.
As soon as the two of them appeared, they received countless cheers, and it is obvious that at the level of Best Actor, the invited award presenters are absolute big names.
"Every time I get to this point, I can't help but get really nervous. Taylor clutched his chest, deliberately creating a tense atmosphere.
"That's right, who will be the best actor this year, I'm also curious. Tom Hanks said with a cooperative smile.
"What is the biggest difference between when you won the Oscar and now when the Oscar is announced?"
Hearing Taylor's words, Tom Hanks smiled leisurely and said: "Back then, I felt that my fate was in the hands of others, and now, I feel that I am in control of other people's destinies. ”
When Tom Hanks finished speaking, the guests all smiled.
"Okay, so let's take a look at the actors who are nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor tonight?"
They are:
"Christian Bale, 'The United States Scam'"
"Bruce Dunn, Nebraska"
"Chiwetel Door-to-Door, 12 Years a Slave"
"Hong Chen, The Shawshank Redemption"
For each nomination, a performance by an actor is played.
Hong Chen's performance is the scene of crawling out of a dirty pipe, then running wildly in the heavy rain, and finally reaching out to let the rain wash over his body.
Seeing this scene again, the audience felt very excited.
Because this is the most classic scene of "The Shawshank Redemption".
"It's funny, Batman and the Joker are competing for the best of the best. After the nomination ended, Tom Hanks quipped, and the audience burst into laughter.
Christian Bale is the actor of the male protagonist Batman in "Batman 2", and Hong Chen is the actor of the Joker.
Now, the two are competing for an Oscar at the same time.
This situation is also normal, after all, there is only such a part of the top actors, and they often stage fairy fights at award ceremonies.
Their jokes eased the tension a little, but it was only for a moment.
A close-up shot of the four people is on the big screen.
All of them were neatly suited, noble and elegant, staring at the big screen.
"So who is going to win the prize?" Taylor asked softly, taking a deep breath.
As she said this, Tom Hanks had already opened the envelope that revealed the final answer.
Tom Hanks looked at the names on the envelope, and the expression on his face was unpredictable.
At this moment, all the audience was waiting for him to announce the name on the envelope.
The atmosphere is also becoming more and more tense.
"I have to say that this man was very unexpected. Tom Hanks looked up at the audience and said meaningfully.
"But this man, once again, won me. Tom Hanks laughed and said.
By the time he said "again", some smart people had already heard who the winner was.
Because, last year's Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, Tom Hanks's "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" was defeated by Hong Chen's "The Dark Knight".
At this time, Taylor Swift also saw the name on the letter.
The name uses two words spelled in English:
Hong Chen
Taylor is a good friend of Hongchen's and often sings with him when he lives in Beverly Hills. So, her expression suddenly became pleasantly surprised.
"I announce that the actor who won this year's Oscar for Best Actor is," Tom Hanks recited aloud.
The background music is getting more and more rapid.
Then, together with Taylor Swift, he announced the answer:
Hong Chen, The Shawshank Redemption. ”
As soon as their words fell, in an instant, applause poured out like a mountain and a tsunami.
Then, everyone stood up.
All the guests, at this moment, stood up. They applauded as they looked at the majestic figure.
Because, today is destined to be a day to witness history.
The first Chinese to win the Academy Award was born.
