179 After the Oscars
At that moment, all kinds of meaningful eyes were focused on one point, and the man who received the baptism of everyone's gaze was tightly hugged in the arms of his friends beside him, and the lens of the camera projected on the big screen, no matter from which angle, could not fully capture the specific expression on his face, but most people would only default to it as a happy and excited smile.
Maybe even cry with joy. Think about his age, he has just turned twenty-two years old, an incredibly young age in his prime, for many people, this may be the age when they have just graduated from college, are confused about their future life, and have just entered the entertainment industry. Although he has won an honor that many people can't get at the age of 30, this is an Oscar, and he has also created the history of the youngest actor in history!
Sure enough, when Theolod got out of the embrace of his friend, buttoned up his suit, and walked on the road to glory and glory, his face was slightly red, with an uncontrollable smile that was more warm and dazzling than the sun. When he walked up the steps, the last few steps were almost small steps that he couldn't resist the excitement in his heart, and this small detail and the bright smile on his face were so contagious that many people would smile and say that they were still a child after all.
"I'll admit it was much more than I expected, and my original goal was to wait for a dinner party. After taking the stage, Theorod, who took the little gold man from Gwyneth's hands, said a slightly nervous self-deprecation at the first sentence, and successfully won the chuckles of everyone in the audience. "I mean, really, I happened to be hungry, and when I took this little golden man, when I was nervous, I was even hungrier. โ
Theolod pretended to pat his stomach aggrievedly, "Just wait, man." โ
There was another chuckle in the audience.
Theolod looked at them, puffed out his cheeks, exhaled deeply, and continued: "Phew, it's more difficult than I thought, I have an acceptance speech, but unfortunately I've forgotten a little now." Well, in fact, I think this little golden man belongs to the entire crew of "Ripley", without Tony, without Patricia, without our handsome Dickie, charming Maggie, beautiful Melty, gentle Peter, without the joint efforts of the staff who have been with us for months and tirelessly, we would not have been able to get here, after all...... This is not a 'mainstream' film. โ
Although Theolod is telling the truth, but in light of the actual situation, the word "mainstream" has become a hidden mystery here, at least Pacino, who stood aside and waited for him to step down after his acceptance speech, heard a little mockery, but the smile on the face and the tone of his voice on the face of the youngest actor in history who was loved by thousands of people in the spotlight were too natural, natural enough to make too many people who didn't know him take it as another joke and applaud.
Otherwise, how could someone become an actor at a young age? Pacino, who knows someone's nature well, silently rolled his eyes in his heart. He thought that if he gave this kid a chance, he might even do the shameless thing of refusing to attend the Oscars out of subjective will and finding someone to receive the little golden man on his behalf.
If he was a little skeptical when Theolod smiled excitedly at first, then at this moment Pacino is completely sure that this guy has skillfully switched to performance mode, yes, on this hallowed awards stage. This made him feel a little flustered but helpless, he knew Theorod's temperament, if he was to tell the truth, he was afraid that he would make most of the people in this theater feel turbulent.
Looking at Theorod in the center of the stage, he blended humor and sincerity, and the acceptance speech was full of fun, and the sensual polite words did not cost money very well, and somehow Pacino was sure that after the Oscars, this kid felt that he would do something "pop" and pull the old school's face into pain, which made them regret putting this little golden man in his hands.
If Kate knew what the old actor thought, she must have a common language with him.
Theolod's thank-you speech on the stage has come to an end, and at the end, he did not forget to take turns to praise the other candidates, and he praised it without being blunt and abrupt, and that appearance fell in the eyes of "female buddy" Kate like a sleek fox swept his tail, selling a cute pretending to be obedient and teasing others turned his head and picked up the fat hen and left, and people waved their handkerchiefs to indicate that they would come again next time.
"Tell me honestly, did you really prepare your acceptance speech?" Theorod and Gwyneth briefly caught up backstage, and after parting, he heard Pacino whisper beside him.
He blinked and replied innocently, "I'll tell you honestly, no." A large section of the back has not yet played sincerely. โ
"Oh, of course it's 'sincere', your sincerity is really numb. Pacino raised his eyebrows, said in an exaggerated tone, and looked around at no one except the staff waiting for them, before giving him an elder hug and patting Theolod on the back, "No matter what you think in your heart, I still have to say congratulations, otherwise it will seem that I am not 'sincere' at all." โ
"Come on, how long do you have to hold on to this word? Theorod pursed his lips helplessly.
Pacino let go of him, stared into his eyes carefully for a moment, and then said, "Ripley is indeed a challenging character, after a break for more than half a year, and now you seem to be in good spirits, and I hope that the leisurely vacation time has not drained your diligence and passion, my little friend." โ
Pacino was vaguely aware of Theolod's mental instability when he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for the first time, which was a default little secret between them, and no one would expose it to the surface, so Theorod just patted him on the shoulder and walked over to the staff waiting next to him: "What do you think, my old friend? โ
"Ha, that's a good sign, because after today, countless appointments will be eager for you. โ
Theolod, who became the youngest Oscar winner in history, naturally became the focus of attention at the Oscar dinner after the ceremony, but fortunately, he has long been accustomed to this state of welcoming everyone's attention wherever he goes, whether it is coming to congratulate and express his wish for cooperation or sneering and sneering with private goods, he returns the most comfortable smile for these kindness or malice, and laughs at them one by one sleekly and old-fashioned.
He didn't feel uncomfortable, the only thing he didn't feel comfortable with was that he couldn't kill the whole food anymore, which made him resentful.
By the time Theolod got into Nattel's car and left the temple auditorium, it was past midnight, and it was the result of trying to get out as early as possible. Theolod leaned against the soft backrest and stretched, threw the shiny little golden figure aside, loosened his tie, and said to Natel in front of him, "I'm fainting from hunger, I hope you have prepared sandwiches and the like, and I can swallow three in one go." โ
"Only one is prepared, you pad your stomach first. Natel tossed the bacon sandwich to Theorod.
"Praise you, Nat. Theorod opened the plastic wrap and bit off most of it, his cheeks were stuffed and bulging, like a hamster preparing to store grain for the winter, and continued inarticulately, "Where are the nests going?"
Natel thought for a moment, and didn't seem to be able to answer the question directly, he glanced at the one in the rearview mirror with his cheeks bulging and the corners of his mouth still stained with milky salad dressing, and looked away again, and hidden, "A place where you can be fed...... It's the first time I've seen an actor who holds a sandwich as a treasure but throws the little golden figure aside...... Well, it rolled to the ground. โ
"Oh, don't worry, it won't break. When Theolod heard this, he found that his little golden figure had rolled under his seat, and he bent down to pick it up and put it beside him.
"Is this thing worth anything? Judging by the sound of it hitting the ground, it's not pure gold. โ
"No, it's gold-plated, it's not very valuable, it's only 350 dollars when it's full, and some collectors have made their own pure gold statuettes that are worth much more than this thing, and even the gold-plated necklace that comes with the winner is gold-plated, and the shape is hard to describe. Theolod pulled out a necklace box from his pocket and threw it to Nattel in front of him.
Natel opened it and found that it was a miniature version of the necklace. Each Oscar winner will later receive a matching necklace that can be engraved with their name for their loved ones or for their own collection, and this necklace is clearly engraved with Maggie's name. However, the design of this chain does have some ...... Hard to describe.
"The only thing it's worth is probably that the value of the winner will double after you get it. โ
"Slam the door. Nattle summed up the world's most influential film award in two words.
Soon Natel took Theorod to his destination, and when he got out of the car, he saw that it was the bar where he had worked before. Five years have passed, and the bar doesn't seem to have changed much, and he can still remember himself five years ago when he was poor and working three jobs, and it was here that he met Marshall, who was also poor in this world, and with an inexplicable trust and impulse, the world of the two has changed dramatically.
"Where's the youngest actor in our history?" Seeing Theolod get out of the car, Marshall, who was leaning against the wall and smoking, immediately threw away the cigarette butt and rushed over to give Theorod a bear hug. "I've chartered the whole bar and prepared a myriad of food you like to make sure you'll be filled. โ
Theolod didn't need to look for it to know that there must be countless paparazzi squatting nearby, and some even came out directly and openly and kept taking pictures with their cameras.
"Don't stay outside for too long, let's go in first, everyone is waiting for you." Marshall also knew that the paparazzi were extremely excited at the moment, so he quickly let go of Theorod.
"'Everyone'?"
"Yes, it's all friends you know. โ
Marshall mysteriously pushed Theolod forward, his evil smile made Theorod clear at a glance, he thought about it, the hand that was originally stretched out to drag Marshall as a shield at the last moment retracted, and the next second, he was baptized by countless streamers and splashes of champagne as he just walked into the bar and showed his head-
"Surprise!" the crowd cheered and almost topped the roof.
It was a pleasant surprise, not that he was sprayed with streamers and champagne as soon as he walked through the door, but that he had seen a lot of long-lost acquaintances in the bar. Not only his own family and friends with Nattell, but also the partners of the crew of "The Genius Ripley", as well as Norton and Jennifer, who have worked together before, there are also many stars of .a. company. Theolod didn't know how Jude, who had left the game one step later than him, had arrived one step earlier.
"Because I drive a sports car. Jude laughed, and even though he didn't make the Best Supporting Actor award this time, he still looked happy, "So, what about your little golden man? I want to touch it." โ
โโฆโฆ Oh, I seem to have dropped it off in the car. โ
The headline on the front page of the second day was naturally this year's Oscars, and the focus was on the victim of the "Golden Globe Shady" before, the youngest new actor in history, Theorod. Many media have adopted a consistent kneeling and licking policy towards actors, no matter who the object is, as long as the academy awards the little gold man to the other party, they can try their best to find the shining point of the actor hand-picked by the academy, and the meaty praise and over-anatomical acting analysis are almost all over the front pages of most newspapers.
But more people have set their eyes on the previous shady, and they are afraid that the world will not mess up and say that the only advantage that Theolod can get this Oscar winner is that the academy wants to get rid of the shady, in fact, he can't make people surrender at all. There are even people who - yes it is Sean Thorpe - who are full of malice to speculate that the initiator of the previous shady scene, Coster Odeon, is actually a pawn sent by Theorod.
These remarks naturally provoked a dissatisfied counterattack from Theorod's supporters, and a lively crowd of onlookers. However, what made public opinion even more uproar was that there was a rumor that Theorod had an affair with an R-rated cult film, and I had met the director of the film, Mary Harlan, before the Oscars.
That's right, it's the "American Psycho" that can only be adapted for restricted-level โกโก no matter how it is adapted.
If this is true, the old guys of the academy probably can't cry if they want to--they just awarded the little golden man to you, hoping that you can return to the journey with a little calm, even if your true love is not academic, you have to cover it up and then go to the cult film, right? How can an actor like you throw his arms into the kind of movie that doesn't learn well in the next second? You are a bit of an actor, okay!
The Lord said that he didn't say anything, because he had a cold.
Yes, Theorod, who made a fuss in the bar until three or four o'clock before going home to sleep, woke up the next day, and the headache from a hangover and the dizziness caused by the fever almost made him unable to land on his feet and was weak.
You just quarrel first, let him lie down for a while. 166 Reading Network
