206 [The embarrassment of language barrier] begging for subscription

After a while, Li Yange and the three of them sorted out their clothes and went on stage, and the guests who came to participate in the David Award also gave warm applause.

Under the award ceremony arranged by the organizer, each of the three received a trophy with the English names of the three engraved below.

The host led the three of them to the stage, first spoke in Italy, and then turned to English and asked: "Congratulations on winning the Best Music Award, I don't know what to say to everyone?" ”

David Byrne was not stage frightened, he took the lead in front of the microphone and said in English: "Great, I still can't believe that I am standing on the stage of receiving the award, and I still have the trophy that has just arrived......"

followed by Ryuichi Sakamoto, who said roughly the same thing as David Byrne, thanking everyone and whom, and thanking David for giving them this award.

In the end, it was Li Yange's turn, although he thought of an acceptance speech before he came, he really stepped on the stage, looking at the group of old faces in the audience, but his mind was empty.

It wasn't until Ryuichi Sakamoto gently pushed him that Li Yange came back to his senses and subconsciously said in Chinese: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm so happy, thank you for this award given to me by the David Award, I'm very happy to receive this award." I would like to thank the director, Mr. Bertolucci, Ms. Ning Ying, and my teacher, Professor Du......"

"Ahem..."

Seeing that Li Yange stopped talking, the host coughed: "Okay, thank you to the three wonderful acceptance speeches, I think they are all excited, especially Mr. Li, although I can't understand what he said, but at this moment I think his country is enough to feel proud!" The winner of the Best Music Award at the age of twenty has set a new record for the youngest age winner of the David Award! ”

Seeing what the host was talking about endlessly, Li Yange was full of confusion, he just paused a little, and he hadn't finished speaking!

Ning Ying, who could understand Italian in the audience, couldn't cry or laugh when she saw Li Yange with a dull face on the stage, she never expected that Li Yange would give a thank you speech in Chinese on stage.

But halfway through the conversation, because of a pause, the host who didn't understand was mistakenly thinking that he was finished, which was a bit too embarrassing.

Chen Chong on the side frowned and said, "Sister Ning, why didn't Li Yange finish speaking, and the host interrupted?" ”

Zunlong and Wu Junmei, who were sitting around, also looked displeased, in their opinion, Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Byrne had finished their words of thanks before, but now Li Yange was obviously interrupted in the middle of speaking, which is not only impolite, but also makes them feel too careful.

"It's not to blame the host."

Ning Ying smiled bitterly: "You can't understand the Italian spoken by the host, he also can't understand Chinese, just when he gave a thank you speech, Yan Ge paused, then the host thought that the speech was over, so he stepped forward to interrupt." ”

After listening to Ning Ying's end, Chen Chong and the three were stunned, and then followed with a bitter smile, too, except for a few of them, none of them could understand Chinese, they knew that Li Yange still had something to say behind, but the host couldn't hear it.

At this time, Li Yange and the three of them came over from the backstage.

"Li Yange, show me the trophy!"

Chen Chong immediately picked up Li Yange's trophy and looked at it carefully, it was a golden villain, wearing a hat on his head, with fluffy curly hair, holding a long sword on the upper right, and a square turquoise platform underneath.

"How can such a trophy be issued!"

Seeing the trophy covered in gold, naked, and clearly carved even on his private parts, Chen Chong frowned, very incomprehensible.

Ning Ying explains: "This trophy is inspired by the famous sculpture 'David' by the sculptor Donatello, which is famous in Italy. ”

"Okay."

As soon as he heard that it was a well-known sculpture from Italy, Chen Chong played with it and returned the trophy to Li Yange enviously: "Congratulations Yange." ”

"Thank you." Li Yange took the trophy with a smile, and listened to Ning Ying say: "Yan Ge, the host on the stage just now didn't deliberately interrupt your words, because he couldn't understand Chinese, he didn't know that you hadn't finished speaking, he just thought that you were the end of your speech." ”

"I guessed it."

Li Yange shook his head and said that he didn't care, although he was a little stunned on the stage just now, but on the way back from the stage, he roughly guessed that it was because he had paused for a long time.

After all, there is no Chinese translation on the scene, and if the other party does not understand, it is normal to see that he does not speak for a while, and mistakenly thinks that he has finished speaking.

Hearing this, Ning Ying turned her head to look at Wu Junmei: "I'll see if Junmei's Best Supporting Actress can win the award later." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Chong and Zunlong both looked at Wu Junmei with envious eyes, this time the Italian David Award, "The Last Emperor" has a total of eight nominations, and among these eight nominations, only two are related to actors, that is, Wu Junmei's Best Supporting Actress, and the British actor Peter Otto's Best Supporting Actor Award who played the emperor's foreign teacher.

"I hope I can win it."

Wu Junmei squeezed out a smile, she was very nervous now, unlike Li Yange and Bertolucci who revealed the news in advance, her Best Supporting Actress award was not rumored at all, looking at this situation, it was probably impossible to win the award.

In fact, as Wu Junmei thought, the Best Supporting Actress award was won by Elena Sofia Ricci in the Italian comedy film "Me and My Sisters".

This is also normal, Wu Junmei's Wen Xiu, the scenes in the movie are less than five minutes together, except for the scene where the three people fight the landlord have the most, and then there was a glimpse of it.

On the other hand, during the period of the young Puyi, Peter Otto, a foreign teacher, had a lot more scenes, and appeared for almost half an hour, so Peter Otto successfully won the Best Supporting Actor Award.

By the time the news reached China, it was already several days later.

Due to the lack of media development at this time, China has not yet sent a reporter to Italy, and a consul at the Chinese Consulate in Milan was reading the newspaper in the morning when he saw an article on the news about the Chinese composer Li winning the David Award for Best Music.

Later, the consul was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent a telegram back to China to report the good news.

After receiving the telegram, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed with the consulate in Milan that it was Chinese, and then asked people to investigate.

It was discovered that this Li was Li Yange, who was previously reported by the People's Daily and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Composition.

When the news reached the ears of the editor-in-chief of Xinhua Daily, he was afraid that the People's Daily would publish it first, so he also stepped up to have people write an article, which was sent to the printing house that night for typesetting.

Early the next morning.

On the front page of Xinhua Daily, there is an award-winning photo of Li Yange in a suit:

"Congratulations to Li Yange, an outstanding young composer in China, who won the Best Music Award at the 32nd Italian David Award Ceremony on February 21, 1988.

The Italian David Award, also known as the Italian Film Academy Awards, is hosted by the Italian Film Academy and is the highest annual film award in the Italian film industry.

The fact that Li Yange, an outstanding young composer in China, can win this honor reflects that China's young people are gradually entering the international stage......"
