Chapter 190: I'm in the same league as you
"The awards show is about to begin, and the stars are casually eating dinner. "Many Chinese portals on the Internet are conducting text live broadcasts, countless fans who can't see the TV broadcast, and office workers sitting in the office are refreshing this concise page, paying attention to this movie event, can Magic Young win any awards? Become the youngest Golden Globe Award for Best Director?
Sina live broadcaster Xiao Yan updated: "Wang Yang sat in two seats with Robert Downey Jr., Charlize Theron and other guests of "District 9" and "The Hangover", and in the previous interview, he said that he hoped to get the best picture. Yang Yang has a good chance of winning the award today, and the media in the United States predicts that the big favorites for best director right now are Martin Scorsese, Stephen Dudley and Wang Yang. Let's take a look at the situation on the US Internet, the voting on Yahoo is 32%, Martin Scorsese 24%, and Stephen Dudley 16% ......"
"The first film award has been handed out, and the best movie song went to Gangs of New York, "The-Hands-That-Built-America", and it seems that the judges love "Gangs of New York"! ”
There was a thunderous cheer of applause on the TV, the nominees laughed and clapped, and Natalie, who was watching from the dorm room couch, pouted a little disapprovingly, raised the can of beer in her hand and took a sip, assuring that the losers were not as happy as they seemed. And she refused the organizer's invitation to attend, because of the noisy scene, first, she didn't want to fly around, and second, she was more comfortable on the sofa.
It's full of all kinds of interactions, both genuine and fake, and there are many nominees who don't show their true feelings, so it's really boring if you don't even dare to say "I want to win this award"!
Natalie burped, watched the camera focus on a handsome brunette guy, she curled the corners of her mouth, fortunately Miraculous Young did not disappoint her, if he didn't win the director award, she hoped he wouldn't act like everyone else as if he had won the jackpot, blessed but also disappointed to be handsome, if he did, he could.
At this moment, there are still many people watching NBC channels in order to support Wang Yang, in the messy small living room, with cobwebs in the corners, Joshua leans on the back of the sofa, casually throws the finished potato chip bag on the ground, and looks at the screen with interest on his face. After the award of Best Supporting Actress in a TV Mini or TV Movie, the ceremony began with the presentation of Best Score for a Film.
"Come on, come on, this one has District Nine!" Joshua sat up straight, and Michael Pitt, who was sitting next to him, looked up and saw a few black gooes on the ceiling, probably chewing gum or something, and he wondered, "Why don't you go to my place to see? You're such a mess here." Joshua snorted and laughed, "Are you the haunted house of Ghost Shadows? ”
Zachary, who attended the boys' party together, shook his head, thinking about the scene a few years ago, and sighed: "It's all destroyed by you, it turns out that this place is so warm and clean, why would Yang rent it to you?"
At this time, everyone in the living room was silent, and the TV screen was divided into five grids, showing five nominees in suits and bow ties, Amor Bernstein, Terrence Blanchard, Jenn Kezmerik...... The guest of honor was singer John Eddon, who wore red-framed glasses and a black suit, slowly opened the yellow envelope and announced with a smile: "The winner of the best soundtrack is Elliot Brother Densol, "Frida"!"
"Oh!" shouted in disappointment as everyone cheered on the TV, and Harry George, who occupied most of the sofa by himself, looked at his laptop to check the latest media situation, as a camera assistant for "District 9" and a cinematographer for "The Hangover", he had not received an invitation to the Golden Globes. He said: "Guys, it's good not to win these awards, otherwise 'District 9' will be easy to prevaricate." ”
"Wow, Young's approval rating is ...... higher again"
Joshua looked at Zachary on the couch and said solemnly, "Zach, do you know? This place was worse in the first place than it is now, with cardboard boxes piled up on the ground and rats walking around...... Jan is a very sloppy guy! clean because I cleaned it up later, and Jessica. "Michael Pitt and Zachary both oh, everyone knows that if this is true, it is Jessica's cleanup.
"Oh Jesus! Harry George's chubby face was full of surprise, looking at the picture on the screen, a girl in a purple evening dress lying on the ground with her back facing the sky, he was stunned and said, "Jessica fell in the hotel!"
Everyone was stunned, Joshua remembered his sister who was safe and sound on the TV screen just now, and there was nothing to worry about, he turned his head to look at the screen, and he really fell 100%! He couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahahaha-" Michael Pitt said incomprehensibly, "Isn't it funny?" Joshua shook his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "She's been like this all day, it's okay!"
Between the broadcast camera scanning guests, the award ceremony continued to be held in applause, and the ceremony awards were presented in no fixed order, and were always arranged according to attention and ratings. This was followed by a number of TV awards, including Best Supporting Actor (Chris Cooper) and Best Supporting Actress (Meryl Streep), and after Best Actress in a TV Musical Comedy was won by Jennifer Aniston of "Friends," the next award was Best Actor in a Drama Film.
In the star-studded auditorium of the Hilton, crowds sat around round tables filled with food and wine, clapping to welcome the presenter Halle Berry who walked out of the side of the stage, dressed in a sky-blue evening gown with a puffy chest and a sapphire necklace that shone brightly in the light.
Halle Berry came to the microphone in the center of the stage with the results envelope in hand, and the applause gradually stopped, and she smiled: "Hello everyone! It's an honor to present this award, they are all the best actors, and they have brought us countless touching ......."
Listening to Halle Berry's words, Wang Yang also felt a little nervous in his heart, he is not the nominee, but. Wang Yang looked at Donnie who was sitting next to him, he didn't wear the orange sunglasses, with a faint smile on his face, Wang Yang called him lightly and said with a smile: "Robert, I'm in the same group as you." Donnie frowned strangely, "Isn't it?" he smacked his lips as he spoke, nodded and smiled, "Thank you!"
Jessica at the dinner table, Charlize Theron in a red evening dress, Michelle Rodriguez in a long black dress, Zach Gallifey Anakis, and others all looked at the big TV screen on the stage, and Jake Nicholson, Ed Lynn Brody at the table next to him, ...... "Let's see who they are, the five nominees are, Ed Lynn Brody, "The Pianist." Before Halle Berry could finish speaking, there was a round of applause with a cheer of "Whoa, whoa, whoa", and the television camera focused on Ed Lynn, who was smiling with his eyebrows upturned, and the screen then played a footage of "The Pianist", who sat in front of the piano, his hands gently together, and walked down the street wearing a blue satellite armband...... When the video ended, Halle Berry read again: "Robert Downey Jr., District 9." The audience suddenly burst into a louder and crazy applause, the camera swept to Donnie, he smiled and applauded, and raised two big fingers with both hands, and looked at Wang Yang next to him in a funny way. Under everyone's gaze, the big screen played a clip of "District 9".
"This is not your home, this planet and this land is not yours!" Donnie, dressed in the supervisor's uniform, yelled at the shrimp man viciously, waving his fist and pretending to rush over and beat it;
"Don't give up on me, baby, don't ......" A soft mournful murmur sounded in the hall, Donnie, who was sitting on the garbage wasteland, was in tears, his face was dazed, and his voice was firm and pleading to the phone: "Trust me, I didn't have a relationship with those bed bugs**, I love you, don't give up on me, don't leave me, you believe in me and I will change back to ......" A woman's cry came from the mobile phone: "Victrex, I want to believe you, but you ...... Let me go. ”
In the quiet guest seat, Sarah Jessica Parker smiled faintly, her hands under the table were clasped tightly, although she had no feelings for a long time, she also became a mother last year, but listening to these unforgettable words, she was still a little stunned, and unconsciously glanced at Donnie at the table not far from the right, and a trace of thought flashed in her heart: "Congratulations on finally getting rid of drugs and alcohol ......"
"You guys, damn it!" Donnie, whose face was half distorted, roared in anger as he slammed the mech towards the soldiers, countless huge bullets erupting from the muzzle of the mech's arm.
As soon as the video ended, the auditorium burst into thunderous applause again, Donny thanked the people around him, and Halle Berry on the stage continued: "Leonardo DiCaprio, Get Away with It...... Daniel Day Lewis, Gangs of New York...... Jack Nicholson, "About Schmidt" With her words, movie highlights from each of the three nominees were shown on the screen.
"The winner of the 60th Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama Film was ......," Halle Berry said as she unwrapped the envelope in her hand. In the TV broadcast footage, the nominees are lined up and down on both sides, although they are all smiling or laughing, but even the old actors are a little nervous, Jack Nicholson has 7 nominations and 1 award, Daniel Day-Lewis has 4 nominations, Leonardo has 2 nominations, Robert Downey Jr. has 2 nominations, and Ed Lynn Brody has 1 nomination.
The biggest favorites this year are Nicholson, Ed Lynn and Downey. Nicholson claims to act like a comedy in "About Schmidt", like a pile of shit, but an old seniority like him is still the favorite of the judges; Downey's performance in "District 9" is highly praised by the film critics, the huge changes before and after the transformation give him enough room to play, and several inner scenes are even more tearful, and his "transformation" in reality is also the element favored by the judges and attracts the attention of the public; at the same time, Adeline's genius interpretation cannot be ignored.
In front of the TV, Joshua, Michael Pitt, Harry George, and others held their breath with staring eyes...... Evelyn stretched out her hands as if she was ready to stop her friends who were excited to get up, her face full of nervousness...... Natalie squeezed the empty can hard, making a kaka sound.
"Now the award for Best Actor in a Drama is being awarded, and it depends on whether "District 9" can be won! Donnie come on!" Sina live broadcaster Xiao Yan updated the text live broadcast, and the surging traffic on the page caused the network to be blocked.
On stage, Halle Berry looked at the open envelope, smiled and bared a mouthful of white teeth, and announced, "Robert-Downey-Jr., District 9!"
"Wow, wow, wow, whew!" The audience was instantly boiling, the loud applause was so loud that the loud sound of the stereo could not be heard, the four unsuccessful nominees had their own expressions, Jack Nilkson raised his arms and shouted something, Lewis and Leonardo also smiled and blessed, Ed Lynn continued to smile like a bitter melon, and the TV camera zoomed in on Donnie's frame, only to see him stand up in disbelief.
"Robert! It's you! Wow, it's you!" Wang Yang jumped up excitedly, his eyes were also full of incredulity, the previous rumors and predictions were basically taken by Jack Nilkson, and as a result, he laughed and applauded, and then spread his hands and hugged Donnie, gritted his teeth and smiled: "You damn guy!"
"Congratulations, you've done a great job!", "Wow, Robert, congratulations!"...... The people around him happily congratulated him, whether it was the camp of "District 9", "The Hangover", or other movie guests, whether it was true or false, everyone sent their blessings to this middle-aged man who turned back from the prodigal son at this moment.
The live TV camera kept sweeping around the guest seats, and several nominees, Sarah Jessica Parker...... They all laughed and applauded. After hugging Wang Yang and others, Donnie walked onto the podium with a complicated smile. Wang Yang sat down in the chair again, looked at Jessica, who was giggling happily next to him, and said with a smile: "Robert is really cool this time." ”
"Thank you. On the small stage, Downey took the Golden Ball trophy from Halle Berry's hand, and the two hugged each other, and Halle Berry stepped aside. Donnie looked at the countless faces in the audience, he held the microphone, took a deep breath, and smiled: "Thank you! I won the award, which is very amazing, I don't mean that the judges chose me, but they actually had a chance to choose me." ”
There were a few cheers and shouts from the audience, but more guests fell silent. Donnie raised the trophy in his hand slightly, looked at the smiling faces that seemed to be engraved in his heart, thinking about all the stories over the years, sad, happy, bad, good...... He snorted and laughed, "I don't want to say names to everyone, I want to talk about me as a person, Robert Downey Jr., this bastard." ”
"I used to be a jerk, a scoundrel. I've done many, many terrible things, you know. Donnie frowned in embarrassment, shook his head and smiled, "Running naked and speeding to break into someone's house, I thought I was talking to God at that time." In a burst of soft laughter, his expression became serious, and he said, "I must say that I am grateful to all those who have loved me, cared for me, scolded me, and hoped that I would become a good person, and I am sorry for you." ”
Sarah Jessica Parker kept a breezy smile, but her nose was a little sour, she had loved and scolded this man, she was happy for him and painful for him, they lived together at the age of 18, she gave him 7 years to make amends, but only sad again and again...... She couldn't stand it anymore and chose to leave, and she changed from an ugly duckling leaning on his side to a strong woman, she patted Kennedy Jr. and Cadison...... But there will be no more stupid feeling of being dedicated to one person, even if she loves Matthew now, but there will be no more, that garbage is something she can't get rid of in her life, and it will never be again.
"Unlike Vickers, I really let them down, I really hurt them, I hurt these best people in the world. Donnie on the stage spoke louder and louder, gritting his teeth and waving the trophy, and said with a sour nose: "My friends, my family, my son...... Please forgive me and forgive Robert Downey Jr!"
Before the words fell, the audience was already applauding, no matter Sarah, Wang Yang and everyone else clapped their hands vigorously, Donnie's eyes were a little red, looking at Wang Yang's direction, choked up and smiled: "If a person wants to be reborn in Nirvana, he must have a strong belief in making the impossible possible." I am very grateful to the person who gave me this faith, that incredible young man, Wang Yang!"
The TV broadcast camera suddenly swept towards Wang Yang, only to see him and Jessica next to him laughing and talking about something, and found that the camera swept over and gave a thumbs up with a smile. At this time, Donnie looked at Mr. Timekeeper who reminded him of the time on the stage, shook his head and smiled: "I didn't finish speaking! No one can drive me down before I finish speaking, what image do I have? I must thank him, if it weren't for him, maybe I would be drunk in the garbage heap on the side of the street right now, you can imagine what it would be like." ”
There was another chuckle in the audience. But the organizers didn't mean to kick him down, so what if he was given a few more minutes? The audience liked this kind of unusual acceptance speech the most, and the viewership was soaring.
"In the beginning, we were in prison, it was his girlfriend Jessica's birthday, and I him off, and he grabbed me and punched me twice...... He said, 'Has anyone ever told you that way?' You're just a fucking pile of shit!'" There was a "oh" in the audience, and Donnie laughed, "No, no, no, I want to! You don't need to sue him, he beat me well, he woke me up." ”
Jessica held Wang Yang's hand, felt a burst of sweetness in her heart, and asked with a soft smile: "Is there still this matter?" Thinking about the situation at that time, Wang Yang smiled and sighed: "Well, I was really going crazy that day, and I also dreamed that your father was going to beat me to death." Jessica opened her mouth in surprise, Wang Yang hurriedly waved her hand and grinned: "Don't worry about this, it's all over." Damn it, I didn't agree with him at all!"
"In the middle of the night, he said to me, 'Robert, it's time to end your bad life and show everyone a new Robert John-Downey.jr!'" Donnie on stage continued to reminisce, his eyes flashing with tears, talking about the reason why he could change his life: "He invited me to make a movie again, and said, 'As long as you quit drugs, you are the hero', I really don't know what to say, he is 21 years old! I am 21 years old?!"
He glanced at Sarah Jessica Parker, who was expressionless over there, bowed his head and said, "A selfish trash." I realized that I was 21 to 36 years old, I hadn't changed at all, I was all piece of trash! I wanted to be that new Robert!" he laughed and choked up, "Then we came out, and after the audition that day, the guy said, 'Donnie, drive carefully!'
"A lot of people have said this to me over and over again, and I ended up letting them down. Downey wiped the tears welling up in his eyes, took a deep breath, and continued: "How can I let down someone who cares about me again? In fact I still had drugs in my house at the time, and I never made up my mind to throw them away, but when I went back that day, I drove them to the beach and threw them all into the sea, a new Robert! ”
Crazy applause immediately resounded over the Hilton Hotel, and the decibel height of the shouts and laughter of "Wow" also set a new record for tonight, and this moving speech that attracted fans around the world seemed to be over, but Downey still did not leave, and he smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have always seen an argument about the Best Director Award lately, Magic Young is too young, he will have a chance in the future......"
Many guests in the audience were suddenly a little puzzled, what is this topic for? Wang Yang also raised his eyebrows suspiciously, supporting him to win the best director? But now is not the time to canvass votes, he feels that this guy seems to be going to say something "unusual"...... "There is no doubt that every director on the nomination list is very good, but Magic Yang is the absolute best director this year in my heart, he not only made a great movie, but also transformed me, a bastard." Young, if you don't win the directing award tonight!"
Donnie looked at Wang Yang, held the trophy and shouted with a smile, and a feeling of youth and frivolity surged in his heart, let that kid who is acting nonsense be willful again! He leaned close to the microphone and said solemnly: "I personally will not recognize that result, and I will not recognize all the results of this year's awards, including the one in my hand! I will send this trophy back to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association!"
"Oh!" There was a low exclamation from the audience, not that no one has refused the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, because of contempt, dissatisfaction, etc., but it is the first time that it is tied to whether a director wins an award like this, "He takes me, and I don't want if he can't get it".
Sarah Jessica Parker suddenly laughed and scolded in her heart, "New Robert?
"Thank you!" Donnie raised the Golden Globe in his right hand, sent a flying kiss to the audience with his left hand, and laughed: "Thank you very much!" With that, he and Halle Berry, who was voted "Oscar's most nagging speech", went backstage.
Wang Yang, who was very moved by Jessica, the friends at the table, and the other peers next to him with different expressions, wiped his forehead, smiled and muttered softly: "This bastard, dragged me into the water." ”
