Chapter 173: Who's Got the Last Laugh?

Lin Mingyang's speech, which made the audience scratch their heads, was actually announcing his victory to someone sitting in front of the TV. The awards ceremony has been carried out so far, and only the four awards of Best Actor and Actress, Best Director, and Best Film have not yet been announced. In addition to the suspense of the winner of the actor and actress, the two heaviest awards, Best Director and Best Picture, are destined to only be produced between "Crash" and "Brokeback Mountain".

Lin Mingyang was about to announce the winner of the Best Adapted Screenplay award on TV footage, and the live camera gave a close-up of his face, and at this moment, Kate pressed the pause button on the remote control. The live broadcast continued, but the picture on the screen was frozen at the moment when the cameraman gave Lin Mingyang's face close-up.

Kate slammed the pillow in her arms into the TV screen with some anger, and couldn't help complaining to Lin Mingyang: "This damn guy, you deliberately guessed the wrong one, let me win once and die?" She is now beginning to worry about what "unreasonable" demands Lin Mingyang will make if she loses.

"What if that guy proposes to him?" The thought popped into Kate's mind, startling herself. Then she shook her head, blushing and banishing the unrealistic thought out of her mind.

Kate is distressed here, and the awards ceremony is still going on. The film "Brokeback Mountain" won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, which is the second golden man that the film has won tonight. Another popular award-winning film, "Crash", also won two awards for Best Editing and Best Original Screenplay, and the two sides were tied in terms of the number of awards.

After Lin Mingyang, who finished presenting the award, walked down from the front desk, he sneezed three times in succession on his seat, and he rubbed his red nose. The noise he made caught the attention of Keira Knightley next to her, who turned her head and whispered, "You have a cold?" ”

Lin Mingyang himself was also puzzled, "How is it possible, it was all fine just now!" ”

"I see!" Keira Knightley smiled mysteriously, "It must be the one who bet with you, who is scolding you at this time!" ”

"Maybe!" Lin Mingyang heard the feeling of "eating" in Kayla's words, and responded vaguely, and then changed the topic: "It's going to be the best actress soon, I know you must be very nervous at this time, take a deep breath and relax!" ”

"There is still a Best Actor in the middle, you better take care of yourself first!" Keira Knightley muttered, but Lin Mingyang didn't respond for a long time.

Keira Knightley raised her head curiously, only to find that Lin Mingyang's eyes were staring at the front desk in a daze, and following this guy's gaze, she found that Charlize Theron, who made Lin Mingyang so "lost his soul" and officially attracted attention on the red carpet, wore a dark green bright silk dress Not only has a strong aura on the red carpet, but also acts as an award guest, but also has a full actress style.

She looked around again, and found that there were not a few men who were staring at the stage as intently as Lin Mingyang. She made a very disdainful gesture on the surface, but in her heart she secretly compared herself to Charlize Theron, and finally she was very unconvinced and came to the conclusion that this woman was not a big deal except for her bigger breasts.

As the last Oscar actress, Charlize Theron held an envelope containing the list of winners of Best Actor. Before she unpacks it, host John Stewart still does not forget his duty and carries on the humor to the end.

"Whose name do you want to be written in the envelope?" John Stewart asked maliciously.

Theron raised the envelope in his hand, "The answer is here, don't we know when we open it?" ”

The fish didn't take the bait, and John Stewart, who was waiting for the rewinding, was in a hurry, and he had to prompt further: "You are the heroine in the film "Blood Diamond", don't you want your partner Felix to win an award at all?" ”

"But this award is determined by the judges of the academy, and I don't count it!" Theron shook his head, and John Stewart, who was quite helpless, was about to continue to "egg" her, but by this time Theron had already opened the envelope in his hand.

Theron opened the list, his expression suddenly becoming very strange. Everyone held their breath as she waited for her to announce the names of the winners, but there was no movement on stage. Theron was visibly stunned at the name, and John Stewart, who was standing next to her, glanced curiously at the list, his eyes almost popping out in surprise.

"Oh my God!" The presenter, Charlize Theron, had not yet spoken, but the host John was the first to exclaim. This was completely his subconscious reaction, but fortunately he reacted in time, quickly covering his mouth with his hand, and pinching the unfinished exclamation into two parts.

"As if I've stumbled upon a secret, dear Theron, announce the results quickly! Because my mouth can't hold it anymore, and if you don't say it, it's going to protest! John gagged his mouth with his hand and said angrily.

"The winner of this year's Oscar for Best Actor is..."Charlize Theron took a deep breath and then shouted out the name. At the moment when the answer was revealed, the audience was stunned for two seconds, and then a tsunami of applause resounded throughout the audience.

Kate was still struggling with the fact that she had lost the bet, and the TV picture had been paused when her mobile phone suddenly rang, and it was the agent Ex calling.

After connecting the phone, Kate didn't remember to greet the other party, and the voice of Ex mixed with eagerness, excitement, and excitement came from the phone. "Kate, turn on the TV and watch the live stream of the Oscars, the most exciting moment is about to happen!"

She pressed the pause and resume button on the remote control with some confusion, and the TV screen immediately changed to the scene where Charlize Theron announced the results, and then Kate heard Theron shouting Lin Mingyang's name.

Kate opened her mouth wide in surprise, and Lin Mingyang, who was at the scene, was no less surprised than her, he sat in his seat in a daze, feeling that there must be something wrong with his ears, because he obviously heard Theron shout his name just now, not Hoffman, who was extremely sure before.

Because of his role in the film "Capote", Hoffman won almost all the Best Actor awards at major awards ceremonies this year. He had a rough history of drug abuse, which can be described as a typical example of the prodigal son's return.

But the Oscar judges don't consider these when scoring, they think that Lin Mingyang's performance in "Blood Diamond" shows the true inner emotions of a retired mercenary, or his self-redemption from ** to soul. Lin Mingyang was obviously less than twenty years old when he starred in this movie, but he successfully interpreted this character whose actual age was ten years older than himself. And judging from the theme of exposing the shady dealings in the industry, it is not surprising that this film can be called another knight in the sensitive season of the Oscars, and it is not surprising that it can be favored by the judges.

Hoffman suffered a "Waterloo" at the Oscars, but after being disappointed to learn the result, he took the initiative to get up and walk over from his seat to shake hands with Lin Mingyang. At this time, Lin Mingyang still did not come back from his shock, seeing that Hoffman's hand was frozen in mid-air and a little embarrassed, Keira Knightley gently poked Lin Mingyang with her fingers, and he came back to his senses, shaking hands while apologizing like Hoffman.

For Hoffman, Lin Mingyang did feel guilty, not because he left him aside when he was stunned, but because he took away what should have belonged to Hoffman. In Lin Mingyang's memory, the film "Blood Diamond" brought an Oscar nomination to the actor, but he did not win the award, and the actor of this Oscar should be Hoffman, not himself.

But an important factor was ignored by Lin Mingyang, the film "Blood Diamond" has changed a lot in his hands, and the film appeared a year in advance, and many things have changed, including the attitude of the Oscar jury.

Lin Mingyang "grinded" offstage for a long time, so much so that when he came on stage, he was sarcastically mocked by the host John, "Felix, from the announcement of the results by our guests to the time you came on stage to accept the award, this process took more than three minutes. I'm sure you've already set an Oscar record before you even claim your award, and you're certainly the most time-consuming of all the winners! ”

Ignoring his ridicule, Lin Mingyang walked directly to the award presenter, while Charlize Theron was waiting for him with a light smile on his face to take away the little golden man in his hand, which symbolized the Oscar.

"This situation and this scene can't help but remind me of the Oscars in 2 years!" Before the trophy was handed over to Lin Mingyang, John Stewart popped up again, "The winners of that year became the guests of honor, and the guests of that time are now on stage to accept the awards." I believe that in the 78-year history of the Oscars, such a coincidence is also unique. Anything, as long as it is related to our felix, the situation will be different. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, and of course our Felicity Hoffmann!" John accentuated his tone, "This moment on the stage will become the most classic memory of the Oscars, and I and everyone here will witness the birth of this miracle!" ”

In the warm applause from the audience, John consciously stepped aside, and only Theron and Lin Mingyang were left on the empty stage. Although the relationship between these two people is "extraordinary", in front of everyone, Lin Mingyang and Theron just hugged very affectionately, and then Theron solemnly handed over the trophy in his hand to Lin Mingyang.

After completing the task of presenting the guest of honor, she was about to step aside and let Lin Mingyang deliver his acceptance speech, but the host John tossed in the audience. He stopped Theron, who was about to leave, and then explained as he walked towards the stage: "I can guarantee that this section was definitely not arranged by the director in advance. Well, I always felt that Theron's mission wasn't over yet, and that she should be doing something other than awarding the awards? ”

At this time, someone in the audience shouted a kiss, and John, who was trotting to the front desk, stopped and pointed hard in the direction from which the voice came. "That's right! The last time Felix presented Theron's award, Theron gave her honey kiss, should it be Felix's turn this time? ”

There was a lively commotion in the audience, and more people were in the mood to watch the excitement, only Keira Knightley frowned, she used to like John Stewart a lot, but now she felt hateful to the other side.

"Kissing, it's just nonsense!" Keira Knightley secretly cursed in her heart, Kate sitting in front of the TV had the same idea as her, but none of this could stop this "farce" from happening. Amid the loud heckling of the audience, John walked up to Lin Mingyang and Theron.

"Look, this is everyone's voice, so are you..." John winked vigorously at the two of them, Lin Mingyang was just about to say goodbye, but he took the first step and said: "I know you still lack a prop, oral spray, you used this thing last time, but I guess you definitely didn't prepare this time, but it doesn't matter, I went to the audience just now to help you get this!" As he spoke, he magically took out a bottle of oral spray from his pocket, "This is provided by an audience member in the audience, and I have to return it when you run out!" ”

The situation at the scene has reached the point where it is difficult to ride a tiger, Lin Mingyang shrugged helplessly at Theron, the other party expressed his understanding, and then the audience cheered up, and the lips of the two people were tightly glued together again. It's a pity that the "wet kiss" that everyone imagined did not appear, the lips of the two almost just touched each other, and then they immediately separated, and the whole kissing process did not take more than 10 seconds, but it set off the ** of the entire awards ceremony.

Amid warm applause, Theron walked off the stage with a shy face, and Lin Mingyang began to deliver his acceptance speech.

"To be honest, I was surprised that I was talking to a friend about it before the ceremony, and I thought Mr. Hoffman was the most likely winner. But I found out I was wrong, and I was very wrong. I guessed everyone right, but I miscalculated myself, and I lost the bet and won a glittering trophy! ”

Lin Mingyang smiled self-deprecatingly: "It is estimated that in the history of the Oscars, there is no winner who has such a complicated mood as I am at this time, I know what this trophy in my hand means, I can only say that I am a lucky person; At the same time, I was a little worried that holding this trophy, which represents the highest honor for actors, at such a young age, made my future life suddenly lose its purpose. In the path of an actor, I know that I am far from mature enough, and the recognition of the Oscar has put higher demands on my future, so I will continue to work hard. ”
