When Lin Mu and Kuhler walked into the venue, except for Al Pacino, the rest of the crew had already taken their seats. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info doesn't need to guess Lin Mu to know that this big star must be interviewed by reporters outside the venue.

Lin Mu hugged each other with director Martin Brest before sitting down, and Martin Brest said mysteriously in his ear: "I got reliable news that your script has a good chance of winning this award!" ”

"But I think Ted Tully is more hopeful than I am, I've seen his script and it's really well written!" Lin Mu wasn't pouring cold water on Martin Brest, because it seemed to him that it was the way it was.

"Trust me!" Martin Brest didn't say much, he patted Lin Mu on the shoulder, he thought Lin Mu was just being modest. But then what happened made him feel that he was indeed wrong, and that he was very wrong.

The 64th Academy Awards slowly kicked off under the bright stars in Los Angeles, and the film "Mediterranean" from Italy won the Best Foreign Language Film award; The film "Beauty and the Beast" won two awards for Best Film Song and Best Score; The crown for Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design went to "Bugsey"; Best cinematography and best editing went to the documentary "The Assassination of Kennedy"; The second Terminator "Judgment Day" won four awards in one fell swoop: Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound and Best Makeup.

Finally, it was the turn to present the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, and "Smelling a Woman" was nominated by the organizing committee, but "The Silence of the Lambs" was also nominated

When the award presenters loudly announced to the audience that Lin Mu had won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, the audience immediately burst into warm applause. All the members of the crew of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman" stood up and hugged each other to celebrate Lin Mu's first Oscar for the film!

"How could it be me?" This was Lin Mu's first reaction after learning that the winner was himself, and he didn't even notice that Ted Tully, the screenwriter of "The Silence of the Lambs", didn't even come over to shake hands with him politely, and walked off the stage.

"Are you sure it's really me who won the award, and not that you read it wrong or misread it?" Lin Mu did not reach out to take the little golden figure handed over by the award presenter, but asked a question that made the award presenter very embarrassed.

"Of course, I'm sure it's you who deserve this honor, if you didn't usurp yourself!" The award presenter replied very graciously.

Seeing that Lin Mu was still in a daze, the host of the scene hurriedly came out to play a round, "It seems that this young Chinese guy has not recovered from the excitement of winning the award, let us once again express our sincere congratulations with warm applause!" ”

"This award doesn't belong to me!" Lin Mu's unusually calm words were clearly transmitted to every corner of the venue through the microphone, cold silence, deathly cold silence in the audience!

Kuller, who was sitting in the audience, covered his eyes in pain, "God, what kind of madness did he have this time?" ”

Even the host, who was accustomed to all kinds of unexpected situations, stood on the spot for a while before reacting, "Are you saying that this award doesn't belong to you?" The host still couldn't believe his ears, so he asked again. So who do you think it should belong to? ”

"Mr. Ted Tully, who just came down from here, he's the one who really deserves this award!" Lin Mu's words immediately caused a whisper in the audience, and Ted Tully, who was sitting in the audience, looked even more incredible.

"I'm sure this list is Mr. Lin's name!" Seeing the host's eyes asking for help, the award presenter was also helpless, and he had to read out the evaluation results of the organizing committee in public again.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the results of the awards!" The host had to repeat the result again, "Your script is so well written, I think everyone present, including Mr. Ted Tully himself, will not doubt it, and this is a well-deserved honor for you!" ”

"Can I ask the jury to reconsider the results, I can't accept an honor that doesn't belong to me! Even if it's the Oscars! Lin Mu's words once again stunned the audience.

"What the hell is he trying to do?" Martin Brest asked Cooler anxiously.

"Hell knows what's going on in his head!" Kuhler also looked helpless.

"Once the evaluation results are generated, they cannot be changed, which is the rule set by the organizing committee!" The moderator explained.

"I refuse to accept the award!" Lin Mu took a deep breath, "For my work, I know its value better than anyone present. But that doesn't justify it from winning the award, because there's a better work than it that has been treated unfairly, and I can't convince myself to accept the result. The Oscar organizing committee is blaspheming my work by doing this, I am a screenwriter, not an actor invited by the Oscars! After saying this, he ignored the stunned award presenters and hosts on the stage, and ignored the audience who were talking about the audience, and left the venue directly.

"I need a reason!" It took a lot of effort for Lin Mu and Kueller to shake off the reporters who were asking questions frantically. Walking in the car, Kuhler said with a blank face.

"You don't understand my pride!" Lin Mu's eyes were closed, he didn't want to speak at all now.

"Then you always need to give me a reason, even if it's an excuse, what do you want me to do with those reporters?" Kuhler was tempted to lose his temper, but he knew it was useless to lose his temper now.

"I don't need any reason, since the Oscar organizing committee can award this award to me, I have the right to refuse it, the U.S. Constitution protects the freedom and rights of citizens!" Lin Mu threw down a sentence very scoundrelly, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Sensational, absolutely sensational! After the Oscars, the most talked about was not the red carpet catwalk, nor the final results, almost everyone focused on the screenwriter who was the first to reject the Oscars.

The day after Lin Mu's refusal to accept the award at the Oscars, it made headlines in major newspapers and media in the United States, and more than 3 million television viewers watched the scene live. Public opinion on the matter is mixed, with those who love "The Silence of the Lambs" supporting Lin Mu's approach, and those who like Lin Mu's work expressing their bewilderment at his actions, but now all Americans know that Hollywood has such a screenwriter with such a personality.

The official Oscar organization finally responded to the matter, and the organizing committee unanimously insisted on the results of the review, but also regretted that Lin Mu did not accept the Oscar trophy, and the trophy that originally belonged to Lin Mu was only temporarily handed over to the Oscar History Museum for safekeeping. They also emphasized that as long as Lin Mu is willing, he can receive the trophy that belongs to him at any time, of course, provided that he pays a custodian fee!

The film "Smell a Woman" did not get much at the Oscars in the end, although it was nominated for Best Picture and Best Director, but in the end it was not as good as "The Silence of the Lambs", only Al Pacino had the last laugh, and he won the Oscar for his outstanding performance in the film. That can't give more comfort to Martin Brest, who won the award largely as a personal success rather than the success of the film.

And Lin Mu's approach made Martin Brest deeply angry, he didn't understand that Lin Mu would give up this honor for the so-called pride of filmmakers. After Oscar, he refused to answer Lin Mu's call, he just told Kuller that his mind was very messy now, and he couldn't congratulate Lin Mu, and I needed to think about it now, and he also suggested that Lin Mu think about it himself, not all people have the courage he has, and not all people agree with his approach.

The directors and producers who had worked with Lin Mu before didn't call him, because they didn't know what to say. congratulated Lin Mu, but the final result was that Lin Mu himself rejected the honor that many people dreamed of; Give him some comforting encouragement, but they both find that even they can't understand Lin Mu's behavior. Lin Mu left such a problem to them, and in the end they all chose to remain silent.

Martin Brest and others couldn't think clearly, Lin Mu himself couldn't think clearly, he did regret it afterwards, but deep down in his heart he faintly felt that what he did was not wrong, two strange emotions were tangled in his mind, so that he couldn't figure it out himself. He longed for the Oscar in his bones, but the award that was not in his plan made him feel at a loss. Although he has memories beyond this era in his head, Lin Mu has gradually adapted to his current identity. Many times, he felt that he was no different from the people around him, and his mind was integrated into this era. But when he found that he could no longer exist beyond this era, he fell into a new puzzle: did this era change him, or was he deeply changed by this era?

Lin Mu decided to go to the campus for a walk, but he found that the situation was a little different from before. In the past, he rarely went to campus except for classes, because almost all UCLA students knew him, and many people would come up to greet him warmly. But today he walks around the campus, and there are many people who recognize him, but people seem to have lost their former enthusiasm. If this matter had been put in the past, Lin Mu would have thought that it was an incomparably wonderful thing. But today he didn't feel so good, and he suddenly felt that he was left out.

Such an absurd idea suddenly popped up in his heart, and even Lin Mu himself was a little incredible. It turned out that he had been deliberately keeping a low profile, and he didn't think he liked the kind of life without any privacy, but his feelings of loss were so clear now. He laughed bitterly at himself, originally he thought that fame and fortune were only the foundation of his foothold in this era, but now he found out that in fact, like those ordinary people, he has a deep desire for fame and fortune in his bones. It turns out that he is just a vulgar man who loves vanity!

Not far away, Lin Mu saw another acquaintance. Rick the lawnmower, it was inspired by him that Lin Mu thought of writing the script "Forrest Gump".

"Hey, Rick!" Lin Mu took the initiative to greet Rick for the first time.

"Hello, Mr. Lin!" Rick didn't stop what he was doing as usual, he just said hello to Lin Mu lightly.

"Can we talk?" Lin Mu finally found someone to talk to.

"Tell us about your amazing heroic performance at the Oscars?" Rick stopped what he was doing, "Or would you like to hear my praise for your noble character?" ”

Lin Mu was not a fool, so he could naturally hear the irony in Rick's words, and now he finally understood why people's attitudes towards him had changed so suddenly. He didn't expect that his move at the Oscars would be difficult for so many people to accept. "Rick, you know I didn't mean that!"

"I was ready to give you a compliment, and I want to tell you that you are really amazing, dear, and you bring credit to all of us who love this film! But I found that these words are useless now. The honor we have been waiting for is nothing more than something that some people don't care about. , I want to tell you that I like this film very much, I love this film even beyond your imagination, I once organized a fan club of "Smell the Fragrance of Women", and the friends who joined were people who loved your film. But I want to tell you that this club was disbanded yesterday, forever! ”

"I'm sorry!" Lin Mu didn't know what to say, and he could understand the pain of Rick's disbandment of the club.

"No, you don't have to blame yourself, from beginning to end, this is all my wishful thinking, a group of us are collectively dreaming, and now that we wake up, everything should be over! Sorry to bother you for so long, I have to get on with my work too! Rick started the lawnmower and left the tree alone on the side of the road.

Later, Lin Mu learned that the school had specially prepared a grand welcome ceremony for him to enter the Oscars, and Lin Mu was able to achieve such an honor as a student at school, and the school thought it was something worth celebrating. Even they had made cloth signs and were going to hang them at the school gate to express the respect of the teachers and students of the school for this honor, but the forest trees kept them busy in vain.

As soon as the summer vacation began, Lin Mu left school in a hurry and returned to his parents' home in Chicago. Although he is already a billionaire with a lot of money, he is not in a hurry to move out and live on his own, and deep down, there is still a deep attachment to the feeling of home.
