Chapter 554: An Imperfect Night

Sean. Pan, well, despite the disappointment that the award results did not develop according to the expected plot, the warm applause still rang out in the Hollywood Patronus Theater, and if it weren't for the double yolk egg just now, wouldn't it be normal to have only one winner? And from the media, film critics have targeted "Milk", against Sean. Pan's evaluation looks at Sean. Pan's award seems, seems, should be justified.

Well, it seems that he must hurry up and watch all the award-winning popular films before the Golden Globe Awards, otherwise he will not be able to judge the results of the awards professionally, while applauding, Lin Yuquan couldn't help but smile and shake his head, for a director, the current situation is really terrible.

However, this entanglement did not last long. After Pan stepped on the stage, Lin Yuquan's mind was no longer on the other party, and at this time the awards ceremony was underway, there were only the last two awards left, that is, the Best Director Award and the Best Film Award, there is no doubt that these are the two awards he cares about the most at this year's North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, and they are also the two awards he wants to win the most, and these are also the awards that many, many people have been looking forward to.

As if to comply with the overwhelming urgency of the crowd, Sean. Pan quickly ended his acceptance speech, and it was only natural that the time came to the award ceremony for Best Director. When Roberts, as the guest of honor, stepped onto the stage from the backstage, even Lin Yuquan suddenly looked stunned and lifted his heart, without it, the awards of the awards season, especially the awards of the Oscar vane, are not watched alone. If you want to get the final Oscar as you wish, the current North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, the next Golden Globe Awards, Directors Guild Awards, and Producers Guild Awards are all very important. The Oscars are like a battlefield, and it takes one step at a time to finally fight there.

The list of nominees for the Directors Guild Award is exactly the same, and in addition to him, the competition for the Best Director Award tonight is Danny Brown. Bauer, David. Finch, Lang. Howard, Gus. Fan. Sant, and tonight, in the next month or so, he will almost fight five battles in a row with four people. It can be described as brutal and bloody.

So who will go to the best director tonight? Not only Lin Yuquan, but countless people across the United States have paid attention to Julia. Roberts, in the expectations and predictions of the masses. Naturally, Kung Fu Lin, which is the most popular and liked by people, deserves the most awards, but in the eyes of media critics and industry insiders, the too young Kung Fu Lin is admittedly talented, but it is obviously not as talented as Danny. Bauer has a higher chance of winning. As for the other three. It is generally believed to be accompanying the prince to study.

"It's Kung Fu Lin or Danny. What about Bauer? "As the nominees and the shortlisted films were shown on the big screen, everyone was making the final guess in their minds.

"The winner of the 14th Critics' Choice Award for Best Director from the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association is"

"Could it be me?" Lin Yuquan, who was smiling, was actually not so calm in his heart.

"It must be Yuquan (Brother Yuquan)!" On the sofa in the living room, the second daughter bit her lip tightly, and her whole heart was about to jump out.

"Kung Fu Lin", "Kung Fu Lin", "Kung Fu Lin", countless fans of Lin Yuquan in the United States are staring nervously at the TV screen.

Finally, under everyone's gaze, Julia. Roberts spat out the award-winning results: "Lin Yuquan, "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race". ”

The moment the results were announced, there was a deafening applause in the Hollywood Patronus Theater. Although Lin Yuquan rarely has interacted with Hollywood filmmakers, it is not the series of mythical miracles he has created in the past. Or he is willing to be charitable, usually does not have any negative news, and treats people kindly in the previous greetings and exchanges with everyone, which makes him easily win the favor of many people here.

At the same time, "the third one", the second daughter and many fans and viewers in front of the TV cheered, tonight seems destined to belong to Lin Yuquan and "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" A wonderful night.

"Whew." Lin Yuquan breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, got up and shook hands with everyone around him, and walked on the stage calmly.

"Congratulations Lin, you deserve your award." Julia. Roberts smiled and handed the trophy in his hand to Lin Yuquan, although he was over 40 years old, he still showed charming charm.

"Thank you, Julia." Lin Yuquan hugged each other with a smile, and then stood in front of the microphone again: "Wow, I'm glad to be in this position again so quickly, yes, I've thought about winning this award, and I've thought more than once, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, as a director, how can he not want to be the best director?" The words of thanks have been said before, and there is no need to repeat them again, I just want to say that this is the greatest affirmation of my work as a director, and I will continue to work hard to bring you more good works. ”

As soon as he said this, Lin Yuquan raised the trophy in his hand high.

Since the award of the best film was immediately followed, after the end of the speech, Lin Yuquan did not go backstage this time, but walked straight off the stage and returned to his seat.

Unlike most awards such as the Oscars and the Golden Globe Awards, the Best Picture nominations for the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards are not five, but ten, similar to the National Board of Review Awards. In addition to The Curious Case of Barton, Foster in Conversation with Nixon, and the quasi-first camp's "Milk" and "The Reader", "Wall-E the Robot", "The Wrestler", "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight", and "Child Abuse Suspicion" are also in the competition.

However, the number of places has increased, and the awards are still mainly between "Savage: Rise of the Ape" and "Slumdog Millionaire", at most "Forbes Dialogue with Nixon", "Benjamin. The Curious Case of Barton", "Milk", "The Reader", and the other four films didn't stand a chance.

"Is it Slumdog Millionaire or Savage: Rise of the Apees?" As with the best director, if it is said in terms of media critics and filmmakers. "Slumdog Millionaire" has a slight upper hand, so in terms of popularity, "Wild Stories: Rise of the Apes" has an overwhelming advantage. It is entirely possible who wins and who loses in the two.

In the eyes of all, Morgan , who served as the guest of honor for the awards. Freeman slowly opened the envelope, and when he saw the list of winners in the envelope, his expression was faintly strange, and he smiled: "The winner of the best picture was "Slumdog Millionaire". ”

"What, Slumdog Millionaire!" Such a result is obviously beyond the expectations of many, plus Danny. Bauer's influence in Hollywood is also far less than Lin Yuquan's current prosperity. For a while, there was only sparse applause at the scene, and even after a while, it was far less enthusiastic than Lin Yuquan winning the Best Director Award before.

"Oh. It's actually "Slumdog Millionaire", why not "Slumdog Millionaire", although "Slumdog Millionaire" has a lot of practical significance, but where can it compare to "Slumdog Millionaire". "I heard a voice coming from the TV. Liu Yifei suddenly puffed up.

Liu Shishi covered his mouth. There was a clear look of disappointment in his eyes, and he was obviously not satisfied with the award result.

"Huh." Lin Yuquan was clapping and watching Danny. As Bauer walked on stage, he shook his head with a smile, and his smile was naturally not a happy one, if "Slumdog Millionaire" was obviously better than him, and he was not a person who could not afford to lose, but this was not the case, although such a situation had been expected to happen. and won the Best Director Award as he wished before, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. It doesn't matter whether you are generous or not, it's all human instinct.

"Slumdog Millionaire" Best Picture acceptance speech naturally didn't take long, the lively night of the awards ceremony soon came to an end, Lin Yuquan did not immediately drive back to Beverly Hills, in order to build momentum for the public relations of "Wild Wild: The Rise of the Ape Clan", and it was expected that he would not return empty-handed tonight, the public relations company responsible for the public relations of "Wild Wild: The Rise of the Ape Clan" Olympic bid has already arranged a simple but not simple celebration reception, in addition to all kinds of cocktails and champagne, warmly prepared a sumptuous buffet, After an award ceremony that took several hours, the guests and nominees who were not hungry naturally received good results, and in addition to congratulating him, everyone also expressed their gratitude and favorability.

It wasn't until more than two hours later that Lin Yuquan returned to the Beverly Hilltop villa with the ingredients he bought from the supermarket, and as soon as he entered the living room, he laughed and said, "Hey, babies, I'm back." ”

"Brother Yuquan, congratulations on winning the Best Director Award!" Liu Yifei said with a smile, although he had already sent a text message, sending a text message was naturally completely different from congratulating him in person.

"Rain Spring, congratulations! Best Director, Best Film Music, Best Action Movie, you're the biggest winner at tonight's awards ceremony. Liu Shishi also said with a smile immediately.

"Well, thank you!" Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, put the bag on the ground, and stepped forward to hug and kiss the forehead of the second daughter in turn.

"Brother Yuquan, aren't you really unhappy that you won the best picture for "Slumdog Millionaire"?" Liu Yifei said with a little worry.

"Huh." Lin Yuquan smiled: "It was a little bit at the time, but it's nothing to think about, not getting the best picture doesn't mean that "Wild Story" must be worse than "Slumdog Millionaire", and although it is not so perfect, but overall tonight is definitely a wonderful night to celebrate, isn't it?" ”

"That's right, I won three awards tonight, including the Best Director award, so I have to celebrate." Liu Yifei smiled sweetly.

"It's best if you could think so." Liu Shishi smiled.

"OK, in that case, what are you waiting for? I've bought the ingredients, and it's time for you to prepare the feast. Lin Yuquan lifted the bag on the ground, shook it in front of the second daughter, with a smile on his face, after the second daughter agreed to choose what meal to eat, after a little consideration, he finally chose to let the second daughter cook by himself, no matter how delicious the top restaurant, in his heart it is naturally not as attractive as the second daughter to cook by himself.

"No problem." Glancing at Liu Yifei, who suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, Liu Shishi smiled confidently.

"Brother Yuquan, I'll do my best." Liu Yifei, who had a bitter face, gritted his teeth and said.

Lin Yuquan smiled happily: "Okay, I'll wait and see." ”

An hour later.

"Brother Yuquan, this is the chicken soup I made, how about you taste it?" Liu Yifei looked at Lin Yuquan expectantly and nervously, although her mother's cooking skills were very good, but she had not learned it before, and after racking her brains, she finally chose to make chicken soup, because stewed soup is the simplest, so she specially called her mother to ask for advice.

"Okay." Lin Yuquan nodded with a smile, then took a sip with a soup spoon, and then the smile on his face grew: "Oh, it tastes good, it seems that Yifei you have a good talent for cooking." ”

Strictly speaking, the chicken soup made by Yifei is not even comparable to those who know how to cook a little, but he can drink the chicken soup she made herself, and the taste is not unpleasant, what else can he be picky about.

"Brother Yuquan, if you like it, I will definitely do better next time." Liu Yifei smiled happily, she had already made up her mind that when she returned to Kyoto, she would learn cooking from her mother, no matter what, she must be better than Liu Shishi.

"Well, I believe you." Lin Yuquan nodded with a smile and took another sip of chicken soup with satisfaction.

"Yuquan, try my cooking." Liu Shishi, who was preempted, hurriedly said.

"Okay." As Lin Yuquan spoke, he immediately picked up a pair of chopsticks and shredded potatoes, and then let out an exclamation from his mouth: "Oh, it's so delicious, you can eat it too, don't just watch me eat." (To be continued.) )
