Chapter 177: Academy Awards (Part II)
With the title of Berlin actor, Lin Zhimo finally sat in the front row of the Academy Awards ceremony this time, not far from Zhou Yanfa, Liang Chaowei and Liu Dehua.
Like the Golden Horse Awards, Lin Zhimo is still relatively confident that he can win the best newcomer, after all, his acting strength is there, and the nominees for several other films are not in his eyes except for Qin Hailu, who is also from the mainland.
"What we are going to award below is the Best Newcomer Award, please award presenters Xie Tingfeng and Yuan Yongyi!" After some joking, Zeng Zhiwei, the host of the conference, said.
"Hey, Ting Feng, I don't think you should be the guest of honor, you should sit down and become the guest of honor." Yuan Yongyi's words secretly praised Xie Tingfeng's youth.
Xie Tingfeng also wiped honey on his mouth, and said with a smile: "Sister Liangliang, you are too, so young and beautiful, the same as when you won the Best New Actor!" ”
There is no woman in the world who doesn't like others to praise her beauty, especially if she is praised by a handsome and handsome man like Xie Tingfeng, so Yuan Yongyi smiled very happily, but she did not forget her duties, and said after a few more jokes: "There are ...... shortlisted for Best New Actor this year"
The film and television clips of the five best newcomers shortlisted began to flash on the big screen, namely Wang Lihong's "Thunder Police", Qin Hailu's "Durian Piao", Chen Guanxi's "SWAT New Human 2", Xiao Binglin's "In the Mood for Love" and Lin Zhimo's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
After the clips of several people were played, Xie Tingfeng made a gesture of invitation to Yuan Yongyi, Yuan Yongyi was not polite, smiled and opened the envelope directly and read: "The winner of the best newcomer of this year's Academy Awards is - "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Lin Zhimo! ”
Lin Zhimo was also shocked when he heard his name read out of Yuan Yongyi's mouth, a big smile bloomed on his face, he hugged each other with his good friends first, and then walked briskly onto the podium.
Yuan Yongyi was full of curiosity about Lin Zhimo, after all, Lin Zhimo was too young. Although the best newcomer is generally a relatively young actor, it is not common to win the best newcomer in Berlin, so when she handed the trophy in her hand to Lin Zhimo, she said with a smile: "Congratulations, Lin Zhimo, strive to win the best actor next year." ”
Lin Zhimo was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Yuan Yongyi to say this to himself, but he immediately reacted and complimented the other party with a smile: "I don't dare to compare with Sister Liangliang." ”
Yuan Yongyi won the Best Newcomer for the first year, and then won the Best Actress twice in a row in the next two years, which became a good story in the history of the Xiangjiang Film Awards.
Xie Tingfeng stretched out his hand and punched Lin Zhimo's shoulder and said, "You kid is good, you have my style." ”
Lin Zhimo glared at the other party and scolded lightly: "Get out!" ”
Yuan Yongyi couldn't help but laugh when she heard the conversation between the two, Lin Zhimo smiled at Yuan Yongyi, and then turned around and stood in front of the microphone.
"I have always felt very fortunate that I have always met some noble people on the road of life, who either gave me encouragement, or gave me guidance, or gave me help, which made me step by step towards success. There are so many people I want to thank for getting to this point - thank you to the director of this film, Mr. Li An, who taught me how to play this role; Thank you to Brother Zhou Yunfa for his support to me and for teaching me how to act; I would also like to thank the other friends in the crew for your support! Thank you for awarding this award to me at the Academy Awards, thank you to my fans and friends who have always liked me, and thank you to my family who have always supported me behind my back, thank you! Thank you! ”
The audience couldn't help but applaud Lin Zhimo's sincere words. Gratitude is one of the traditional virtues of the Chinese, and everyone who knows how to be grateful will like it.
In fact, to be honest, after winning the Berlin Best Actor, Lin Zhimo didn't particularly care about whether he could win the Academy Award, but he still said the above words very sincerely. Because he does feel that he has been very lucky along the way, let me ask thousands of Chinese actors, but how many people have been able to achieve so much at such a young age as him?
Maybe the Tianwang gene is the root cause of all this, but Lin Zhimo has never believed that if it were not for those people who have always been optimistic about himself, encouraging him, and helping him, he would have come to this point. In any case, the Tianwang gene is only a foreign object after all, and whether a person succeeds or not depends on himself and the help of others.
Sitting in his seat, Lin Zhimo's heart relaxed a lot-he finally didn't have to go back empty-handed this time.
Regarding the Best Supporting Actor Lin Zhimo naturally hopes to win the award, but he doesn't have much expectations for this, because Lin Zhimo has heard a lot of rumors about the existence of a so-called small circle at the Academy Awards. In fact, many awards are not won by the actor's acting skills or the quality of the movie, but by the actor's popularity in the Xiangjiang film circle.
Lin Zhimo's newcomer award is not an award after all, and it doesn't matter if the judges award this award to Lin Zhimo because he is already a Berlin actor, but the best supporting actor is an out-and-out award, and whether Lin Zhimo can win it can only depend on the will of God.
Next, several awards were awarded, and the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won several awards such as best cinematography, best action design, and best sound effects.
After that, it was time to present the Best Supporting Actor, and the award presenters were Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen.
"Hua Zai, several films nominated for Best Supporting Actor this year are all good-looking, but why is there no "Lonely Men and Widows" in our country?" Zheng Xiuwen came up and said unfairly.
Liu Dehua thought for a while and replied: "Is it because the judges think that the two of us performed too well and robbed the limelight of the supporting roles?" ”
Zheng Xiuwen looked at Liu Dehua in horror, and then said with a look that I didn't know you: "If you want to steal the spotlight, it's good or not, I'm very responsible." ”
Liu Dehua also looked aggrieved when he heard Zheng Xiuwen say this: "If you are duty, then why are you nominated for Best Actress by this film, but I am nominated by another film?" ”
Liu Dehua's words made the audience smile.
Coincidentally, Liu Dehua and Zheng Xiuwen were shortlisted for the best actor and best actress at this film festival respectively, but Liu Dehua was shortlisted for the film "A Tiger" instead of "Lonely Men and Widows" with Zheng Xiuwen, so Liu Dehua said so.
The two joked a few words, and Liu Dehua said: "There are ...... actors shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor this year"
The big screen changed again, and began to show film clips of the five nominees. The first thing that appeared was the clip where Lin Zhimo jumped into the window and talked to Zhang Ziyi in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", then Wu Zhenyu's wonderful performance in "2000 AD", followed by Chen Yixun's "Lavender", Ren Dahua's "Juliet and Liang Shanbo" and Zhang Yaoyang's "Jianghu Emergency".
After playing the videos of several candidates, Liu Dehua and Zheng Xiuwen opened the envelope in their hands together.
Although Lin Zhimo in the audience said that he didn't care whether he could win this award at this time, he was inevitably still a little nervous, but in order to maintain his demeanor in front of the camera, he still pretended to look at Liu Dehua and Zheng Xiuwen on the podium with a smile on his face.
Ye Jintian, the art director sitting behind Lin Zhimo, patted Lin Zhimo on the shoulder, then leaned over and whispered: "Sesame, don't care too much, brother, didn't I win the best art direction, this award will be changed if it is not praised." ”
Lin Zhimo was speechless, but he said lightly, haven't you seen a few other nominated actors who have been acting for many years with serious faces, it is not easy for me to keep smiling now.
Lin Zhimo, who was not very nervous in his heart, was said by Ye Jintian, and he actually had some expectations in his heart, what if he won the award? It's okay if you don't have this kind of thought, once this idea appears, it will be deeply rooted in Lin Zhimo's mind and will never linger again.
So slowly, Lin Zhimo also began to stare at Liu Dehua's mouth tightly.
However, Liu Dehua seemed to know that he was being watched by many people now, he suddenly closed the envelope again, and his eyes swept at the several candidates in the audience and smiled: "Otherwise, if any of you invites me to dinner at night, I will read whose name, okay?" ”
At the moment when Liu Dehua closed the envelope, Lin Zhimo almost thought that Liu Dehua was about to announce the winner, but he didn't expect such a sentence to suddenly pop up, and Lin Zhimo felt a little flashed to his waist.
So several nominated actors on the big screen showed a wry smile at the same time, and Lin Zhimo had an idea and made a gesture of opening the wine bottle and drinking wine to the camera.
Liu Dehua naturally saw Lin Zhimo's movements, and then looked at the other four actors, he shook his head and said: "Since the four of you don't plan to bribe me, only Lin Zhimo invited me to drink, then I announce that the winner is Lin Zhimo!" ”
As soon as Liu Dehua finished saying this, not only the other four actors were stunned, but even Lin Zhimo did not dare to act rashly.
"Is this a joke or is it serious, wouldn't it be a fool if I went up just joking?" This is what Lin Zhimo thinks in his heart.
Zheng Xiuwen, who was on Liu Dehua's side, just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Liu Dehua making a gesture, and then continued to say to Lin Zhimo: "Zhimo, come, accept the award!" ”
Lin Zhimo was sure that he had really won the award, so he stood up with excitement on his face and began to hug the people around him, but before he could walk to the stage, he heard Liu Dehua cough twice and said: "Okay, no kidding, Xiuwen, it's up to you to announce who won the award." ”
Lin Zhimo suddenly became a Spartan, big brother, is it me?
At this time, the big screen also reflected Lin Zhimo's crying and laughing appearance, causing the audience to laugh.
Zheng Xiuwen beckoned to Lin Zhimo, and then read: "The winner of the Best Supporting Actor at this Academy Award is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Lin Zhimo, congratulations!" ”
At the same time, the music began to play in the venue.
Lin Zhimo breathed a long sigh of relief, and then walked to the front desk, but he stopped after just two steps, and looked at Liu Dehua with a suspicious face, as if he was afraid that he was making some kind of moth.
Liu Dehua on the stage was also amused by Lin Zhimo's actions, and applauded Lin Zhimo and signaled him to come up quickly.
Lin Zhimo patted his chest and walked up briskly.
When he came to Liu Dehua, Lin Zhimo asked cautiously: "Hua Zai, are you sure it's me?" ”
Liu Dehua also pretended to be serious: "I'm sure it's you!" ”
Before the words fell, Lin Zhimo made a move like lightning, and quickly snatched the Academy Award in Liu Dehua's hand in his hand, and then held his hands tightly in his arms, staring at Liu Dehua with a look at the class enemy.
"Haha......"
The audience in the audience was amused by Lin Zhimo's actions, and the applause was loud for a while.
Zheng Xiuwen covered her stomach with a smile on the side. Liu Dehua spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders.
Lin Zhimo glanced at Liu Dehua, stood in front of the microphone, grabbed the trophy tightly with both hands, and said with great emotion: "This award is finally mine......
"Poof!"
The laughter that had just stopped temporarily in the audience reached ** again because of Lin Zhimo's words.
Waiting for everyone's applause to pause, Lin Zhimo once again glanced at Liu Dehua as if he was worried and flattering, and Liu Dehua also looked at Lin Zhimo innocently, Lin Zhimo seemed to have received something from Huazi's eyes, and his face was full of smiles.
Although Lin Zhimo didn't say a word, after such a few cautious eye movements, the audience still laughed, and at the same time, a word "strong aura" appeared in everyone's minds.
Indeed, if Lin Zhimo's actions at the beginning were a true reflection of his subconscious, then from the moment he came to the stage to accept the award, these actions were all natural actions made by Lin Zhimo's flash of inspiration.
And Lin Zhimo, who was shortlisted for the Academy Awards for the first time, has such a good psychological quality and such a strong ability to control the scene, which makes other audiences have to sigh.
Lin Zhimo held the trophy in his hand and said again: "Thank you for the great affirmation given to me by the Academy Awards, I will provide you with better and more exciting films in the future...... Well, it seems that I have already thanked everyone when I gave my testimonial, so I won't waste time here, but I would like to thank one person in particular......"
Speaking of this, Lin Zhimo turned his head to look at Liu Dehua.
The audience couldn't help but laugh again.
Liu Dehua shook his head and waved his hands in great trepidation, as if he was trying his best to clear up his relationship.
Lin Zhimo's face was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a "I understand" expression, and made a drinking gesture to Liu Dehua again, then smiled ambiguously, and made a gesture of private phone contact.
"Haha......"
The audience in the audience was immediately provoked by the mime of Liu Dehua and Lin Zhimo, and burst into laughter, and the atmosphere of the entire award ceremony was warm to the peak for a while. (To be continued.) )
