248. The Best Actor and Actress awards were all in the bag
Lin Yuming stepped down from the stage with the trophy in his hand, the afterglow of excitement on his face had not been completely eliminated, and after seeing Xu Shi, he bowed deeply directly, and his words on the stage were his true testimonials.
Xu Shi originally wanted to complain to Lin Yuming about what he had just said, but seeing his attitude, Xu Shi was speechless.
Xu Shi patted Lin Yuming on the shoulder, and just said, "You deserve it." ”
Didn't say much after that.
Liu Tai and Lin Yuming made a good start for "The Witch" and "God of Medicine" respectively, which can be regarded as a good start.
The awards continued, and the best original film music, the best original movie song, and so on were also awarded one by one.
But none of this has anything to do with Xu Shi and them.
A lot of the music used in Xu Shi's movies is original to this world, or it is created by someone, which is not very classic.
Xu Shi basically can't remember too many songs except for those KTVs that he often ordered, or the songs he sought after when he was a teenager.
In terms of film music, he can't remember anything except a few very classic soundtracks.
So these awards have nothing to do with Xu Shi at all.
Soon it was time for the director's award to be awarded.
Although Zhang Kui said that he had given up struggling, he actually still longed for a miracle in his heart, so he also cheered up at the moment and looked at the host with burning eyes.
The same is true for Cheng Guochao, but he is more excited, because he understands that this is the most likely award he has ever won.
However, the first award has nothing to do with them, it is the New Director Award, which is awarded to a new director.
The work of this rookie director achieved a box office of 1.5 billion some time ago, which is very good, and it has also been favored by many people.
"Coming up below is this year's Best Director Award, let's see who wins. The host said loudly.
Then the two hosts joked with each other again before the official announcement of the list of winners, which made the candidates waiting below anxious.
"Let me see, the best director at this year's Academy Awards is.......... Cheng Guochao Cheng Dao! Congratulations, everyone!" As the host's words fell, some people's eyes suddenly dimmed, but they still subconsciously applauded along.
"Director Cheng, congratulations!" Although Zhang Kui was a little disappointed, he was at least mentally prepared, so he reacted instantly at this moment and congratulated Cheng Guochao.
"Thank you, thank you! Cheng Guochao said excitedly.
"Old Cheng, congratulations!" Xu Shi said with a smile on his face.
He is really happy for Cheng Guochao, originally Cheng Guochao's last "One Man's Martial Arts" may have won the award at the Magic Capital Film Festival, but because the limelight is on his side, he was defeated.
And this time Cheng Guochao can finally get what he wants, and Xu Shi is also happy for him.
Cheng Guochao hugged him fiercely, and said softly: "Thank you!"
Xu Shi felt that his voice was a little choked, but when he looked over, he only saw Cheng Guochao's face full of smiles, which seemed to be his delusion just now.
When Cheng Guochao came to the stage to accept the award, the host asked, "Director Cheng, are you ready for this acceptance speech?"
"Of course I'm ready, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I have been preparing this acceptance speech for nearly ten years, I originally thought I wouldn't need it in my lifetime, but I didn't expect to use it in my lifetime. Cheng Guochao said.
"Haha, Director Cheng laughed, with your strength, it is only a matter of time before you win the award. The host praised.
However, Guochao shook his head very seriously and said: "What I just said is not a joke, it is completely true." ”
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Guochao continued: "My time in the industry is not short, almost 20 years.
In the past twenty years, I have directed a total of seventeen films, and in the craziest year, I directed four films. ”
"At the beginning, I thought that I would soon be able to win awards and reach the pinnacle of life, I think I am very capable, I am very talented!
But the reality is that in the past 20 years, except for the two movies that have cooperated with Xu Shi, the rest of the movies can basically only be regarded as barely keeping their capital, and the box office of the best movie is only five or six billion, which can only be regarded as a small profit.
Slowly, I also realized my talent in directing, I am not a genius myself, I can only be regarded as an ordinary director.
It's just that I'm not so willing, I've been recharging myself and looking for my own shortcomings. ”
With Cheng Guochao's narration, Xu Shi also thought of the first time he and Cheng Guochao collaborated, which was when "Excalibur" had just started filming.
At that time, Xu Shi proposed to stand up for the image with actions, and Cheng Guochao's performance at that time let Xu Shi know that he really loves movies, just like he loves martial arts.
"I probably started to realize ten years ago that I might not be able to win the Best Director award for the rest of my life, but that's when I started writing my acceptance speech, and I wanted to use it to motivate myself, even if I couldn't win it.
And to tell you the truth, the biggest reason why I was able to win the award this time was not how good my director was, but because the script given by Xu Shi was good, and he also fully believed in me, so that I could play it to my heart's content. ”
"Here, I also give to directors who have no directing talent like me, don't give up, although hard work may not be rewarded, but if you don't work hard, you will definitely have no gain.
As long as you work hard, maybe the best director of the next session will be you. ”
Cheng Guochao said sincerely, his eyes were a little red, and many people in the audience also felt the same way, they could hear it, these were Cheng Guochao's heartfelt words.
Cheng Guochao's level is actually known to many people, it can be regarded as a midstream level, it is not bad, but it is not good.
But as he himself said, he never gave up on himself, and he didn't choose to give up on himself because of a few failures.
Many directors choose to give up themselves, or quit the circle, or take on some unpopular work because of several failures.
But Cheng Guochao didn't, so from this moment, everyone really recognized Cheng Guochao's trophy, and he deserved it!
He deserved the trophy this time!
But at the same time, Xu Shi has once again attracted the attention of many people, especially some directors who don't have much talent like Cheng Guochao.
Since Cheng Guochao can win the award because of Xu Shi, why can't they?
Originally, they may have been dissatisfied with Xu Shi's harsh requirements, but when Cheng Guochao won the award, this dissatisfaction disappeared.
And Cheng Guochao's experience also tells everyone that Xu Shi is a person who values love and righteousness, and when the conditions are met, he will choose to let go, rather than suppress!
Zhang Kui also noticed these gazes, and immediately hit a spirit, and was originally in a dilemma, but immediately made a choice at this time.
It turns out that there are so many people staring at their positions, if they are not ready to choose to shoot movies independently, then in case of failure, everything will be irreparable!
Such an opportunity is very rare, especially with Cheng Guochao's award this time, more and more people are staring at his position and eager to replace him, so he can't make a hasty decision.
With a sense of crisis, Zhang Kui temporarily gave up the little thought in his heart.
At the same time, he was extremely glad that he didn't make a choice as soon as his head was hot, otherwise it would be too late to regret it.
In fact, this is also related to the fact that he never wanted to break away from Xu Shi and go it alone, and it is precisely because of this that he keeps hesitating.
If he wanted to break away from Xu Shi and break away from the Jingwu Sect, then he would have no estimate, and he would make a decision as soon as his head was hot.
After Zhang Kui's head turned around, he suddenly felt a little chill in his back, but fortunately he was more sensible!
After Cheng Guochao stepped down, Xu Shi said to him: "Old Cheng, the words on stage are a bit excessive, these are all obtained by your own efforts, and they have nothing to do with me." ”
"Che, you really think I'm going to thank you, that's just a word on the table. Although Cheng Guochao said so, everyone knew that what he said on stage was his true words.
Xu Shi also smiled dumbly, he didn't expect Cheng Guochao to have such an arrogant side.
The competition for Best Director has come to an end, and there are still a lot of good plays to come, and the Best Actor and Actress is the highlight of the plays.
The first to announce the Best Actress was the Best Actress, and several nominated actresses were full of nervousness and expectation, only She Yueling was a little careless.
She is different from Zhang Kui, no matter what Zhang Kui does, the little thought in her heart has never dissipated.
But She Yueling looked very open, and after Liu Yan's analysis, she completely accepted it, and she didn't have any idea at all.
This also made her very indifferent in the face of this competition, and there was no feeling of gain and loss like Zhang Kui at all.
"Look at the big screen below. ”
With the host's voice, the selected clips of the nominated movies began to be played on the big screen, all of which were plots that chose to break out of acting, and many people who watched it nodded again and again.
In any case, this nomination is very qualified in the hearts of most people, and there is no scene of indiscriminate filling.
You must know that with the impact of the fan economy, many awards have begun to turn sour, especially in the past few years, in order to earn traffic, many things have been compromised towards traffic.
However, in the past two years, it has begun to get better again, and the fan economy has also been declining, and the rectification of related aspects has also begun.
Without further ado, after the featured clips were played, the host began to reveal the winners.
"Who is the best heroine tonight, let's wait and see!"
"Wow, Xiaoling, I feel my hands are shaking a little, why don't you take a look at it for me." The male host said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll leave it to me. The hostess snatched it up, and then opened it before the host could react.
"Why don't you play your cards according to the routine? That's not the case when we're rehearsing?" the male host pretended to be crazy, making everyone in the audience laugh out loud.
The hostess also teased him again, and then announced the result.
"The Best Actress at this year's Academy Awards is ........... "The Witch"........ Xu Xiaoxiao!" As the host's words fell, the audience suddenly burst into loud applause!
Xu Xiaoxiao was also full of surprise, but she still stood up in a ladylike manner.
"Xiaoxiao, your "Witch" this time can be described as a bumper harvest, how is it? Do you have any feelings? Don't learn from your director. ”
"Director Cheng, that's experience, I don't have any experience, this is only my first time winning the award, why not next time?" Xu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"Tut-tut, I've heard people say that Xiaoxiao has a high emotional intelligence, and I don't forget to praise Director Cheng, okay, don't delay your time, please give a speech below. ”
...........
Xu Xiaoxiao doesn't look old, but she is very mature in her heart, and what she says on stage is also down-to-earth and generous, there is nothing to pick on, and there is not much brilliance.
This is very consistent with her performance all the time, and it has also increased the impression of many old-timers on her.
Although young people need to have the vitality of young people, when people are old, they may want to see mature and stable successors.
Xu Xiaoxiao, a powerful actor who became famous at a young age is naturally the best successor.
Now Xu Xiaoxiao is so stable again, of course they are satisfied.
"By the way, Xiaoxiao, don't go yet, guess who the best actor is below. The hostess stopped Xu Xiaoxiao.
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Do I still need to guess this?"
"Yo, Xiaoxiao, you have inside information, I don't even know yet. The male host said exaggeratedly.
"I don't have any inside information, didn't my uncle be selected for Best Actor, let me guess, it must be my uncle, otherwise how do you two want me to guess?" Xu Xiaoxiao said with big eyes.
"Okay, it's me who talks too much, so I don't sell it anymore and just open it?"
"Hurry up, why don't you let me come this time?" the male host first urged, and then asked expectantly.
Everyone suddenly thought of the scene just now, and suddenly someone laughed out loud.
However, the hostess didn't give him a chance, opened it directly, and then pretended to be very shocked, and then looked at Xu Xiaoxiao on the side, as if she wanted to say something.
"What's the matter? Why do you look at Xiaoxiao like this?" asked the male host at the right time.
"What, Xiaoxiao, do you really have any inside information? The hostess pretended to be humble and asked for advice.
As soon as she said this, the people in the audience immediately understood who had won the award.
Everyone looked at Xu Shi one after another, and Xu Shi was also looking forward to it at the moment, and Xu Shi was also unambiguous when it was time to do it.
"Okay, let me announce it, the winner of the Best Actor this time is Xu Shi!" The male host first snatched the female host's envelope and glanced at it, then announced loudly, and then made a look of revenge.
was so angry that the hostess went directly to pinch him.
