Rebirth Turn - Chapter 117

Hollywood is the holy city of global movies, and it is the place that best reflects the recognition of the acting career and the corresponding commercial value. Almost all world-class actors want to be successful and even famous here. Chinese actors may be due to racial issues. Development is particularly difficult here. But even so, over the years, there are still batches of movie stars who have made a breakthrough in Hollywood with their flexible skills, superb acting skills and star charm.

It’s just that when most Chinese movie stars first entered Hollywood, most of them played supporting roles or even more soy sauce roles with only one or two shots. It is not impossible that someone like Lu Yan is an absolute male protagonist, but there are definitely a handful.

With four heavyweight movie stars in hand, and a blockbuster that hit the box office worldwide, Lu Yan is now famous in China and has an absolute first-line status. So when the news that he went to Hollywood to make a film broke out at such a moment, the Chinese people just had a heated discussion, but they were not too surprised. It seemed that no matter what kind of news broke Lu Yan today, people would not be too surprised.

Working in Hollywood is by no means pleasant. Although he plays the male lead, Lu Yan has not received corresponding respect in America, where racial discrimination is serious. His humility is not helpful here, but it becomes a reason for others to mock him for being cowardly and cowardly.

Of course there will be no discrimination on the surface. On the surface, this country expressly stipulates that it opposes racial discrimination. If you openly declare that you are a racist, you will definitely be condemned by everyone, but this just shows the seriousness of racial discrimination in this country.

Private provocations have never been many. It wasn’t until Lu Yan secretly gave a lesson to a white actor who provoked him the most and let everyone know that this beautiful oriental man was not easy to mess with, and the harassment gradually subsided. No matter when and where, people with tough fists always have more capital to speak.

For more than half a year of filming, Lu Yan almost disappeared from the public eye, and only a few occasional commercial endorsements proved his existence. Of course, there are those loyal and lovely fans who have been thinking about his news all the time. From time to time, people break the news on the official website of the filming progress of the movie and the little tidbits of visiting Hollywood.

It was not until the news came in January that “Hometown” was nominated for multiple Oscars, Lu Yan and the “Hometown” crew re-entered the public eye, and they became popular news in the entertainment version until the Academy Awards ceremony.

If Hollywood is a film mecca that all movie stars yearn for, then the Academy Awards must be the most desired award for all actors, and it is not too much to say that it represents the highest achievement of world cinema in the minds of many people.

The Oscar red carpet has always been the “battlefield” for madly killing film. Not only the female stars are competing for beauty, or gorgeous and noble, or mature and elegant, or simple and sexy; After all, there are those who are handsome and handsome. In this short aisle, the little golden man has been eclipsed as a foil, and the handsome men and beauties are the protagonists.

Over the years, the Oscar ceremony has been a silent pain for the Chinese film industry. There are very few people who can attend. Even if a few of them walk on the red carpet, they are mostly reduced to soy sauce roles. There are very few who can be shortlisted for the competition like Lu Yan and the “Hometown” crew. Also because of this expectation, there are many oriental faces on both sides of the Oscar red carpet this year, and many fans in the audience have tried their best to get seats to participate.

When Lu Yan appeared on the red carpet with Li Ran in a well-fitted suit and graceful, the audience burst into applause and cheers, and his momentum was no worse than any Hollywood superstar who had passed by before. Once again, it proves the irrefutable truth of “Chinese are everywhere”.

Before entering the venue, Lu Yan and Li Ran were interviewed by Chinese media. The questions in the interview are nothing more than the feeling of being nominated for the Oscar, and whether you have confidence in winning the award. The answers of the two are also very official. The feeling, in short, is watertight.

However, a reporter asked him in a single stroke, “If Mr. Lu wins the award this time, can he solve the mystery and tell us who your lover is?”

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips and smiled, and replied, “Maybe.”

Nowadays, everyone is very familiar with the way of awarding awards at the award ceremonies of major film festivals. The list of winners is sealed. No one has the right to know the result until the presenter opens it. It is the first of the Oscars. As the originator, he naturally brought this tradition into full play, and the whole award ceremony was full of suspense.

“Hometown” received a total of eight nominations. In addition to the most weighty best picture, best director, best actor, there are five best art direction, best cinematography, best editing, best soundtrack and best visual effects.

Out of the first five nominations, it won Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction. For a film that has earned such a high box office worldwide, it is not surprising to receive these three awards, and the truly weighty awards are still to come.

When the Best Actor Award was presented, Lu Yan kept his face calm, still smiling, but secretly clenched his palms. Su Mo, who was sitting beside him, felt his nervousness and quietly held his hand. Lu Yan turned his head towards him and smiled softly. In fact, Su Mo was no less nervous than him. Lu Yan could already feel that his palms were slightly wet.

Su Mo was invited to attend as one of the sponsors of this awards ceremony, but he didn’t walk the red carpet.

The award presenters on the stage had already opened the sealed letter. Lu Yan tightened his hand and held Su Mo’s hand firmly. At the same time, he felt the strength of the other party’s hand.

The presenter slowly pronounced a person’s name in an extraordinarily slow tone, a little long. Obviously, it was not Lu Yan.

In an instant, Lu Yan’s heart turned several emotions, both a little sad and a sigh of relief.

With a burst of applause, a British actor rushed to the podium with excitement and excitement on his face. Lu Yan and Su Mo also applauded along with everyone.

It would be a lie to say not disappointed. Even if I know very clearly in my heart that what I need to get this award today is not a little miracle, it is unavoidable to feel frustrated when I really decide to pass it by. Maybe it’s because the previous awards have gone too smoothly. If he even won the Oscar, to be honest, without anyone else, Lu Yan himself felt that it was too defiant. So, it’s better to take it easy, I’m still young, and there are still opportunities.

Su Mo secretly held his hand again and whispered in his ear, “It doesn’t matter, there is another time.”

Li Ran, who was sitting on the other side of Su Mo, also cast a consoling look.

Lu Yan smiled slightly and nodded, indicating that he was fine.

Next, it was Li Ran’s turn to be nervous, because the next award was the Best Director Award.

Lu Yan, who was reborn ten years later, knows better than anyone that Li Ran will become one of the most famous directors in China and even in the world in the future. He also knows that he is one of the few Chinese directors who has won the best picture at the Oscars. It’s just that the film he won at that time was by no means “Hometown”. This film was the product of the butterfly effect after Lu Yan’s rebirth.

Therefore, Lu Yan can’t judge now whether Li Ran can win the Oscar for best director in advance. As Lu Yan intervened more and more deeply, the development of this world has become more and more different from what he knew before, and more and more changes have occurred. But for Lu Yan, this is definitely a good thing. This shows that he has truly integrated into the world of this time and space, and he would rather treat his rebirth as a long and somewhat realistic dream. And the reality is a hundred times better than the dream, which is wonderful!

When the presenter said Li Ran’s name, the future world-class young director jumped up excitedly, turned around and hugged Su Mo, who was sitting next to him, and Su Mo happily hugged back. He, patted his back lightly, said congratulations to you. Lu Yan also stood up with clapping. At this time, he was only concerned about being happy for Li Ran, and he wouldn’t mind the other party holding his lover so intimately. After a while, Li Ran let go of Su Mo, turned around and hugged Lu Yan, this time it was much shorter. Afterwards, he shook hands with his colleagues in the surrounding film industry, and then got up and walked towards the podium. When he turned around, Lu Yan also noticed that the corners of his eyes were a little wet.

Today, Li Ran rarely attended in formal dress, and his messy hair was finally subdued temporarily with the efforts of the hair stylist, and the whole person looked energetic and handsome. In fact, although Li Ran is a director, his own external conditions are quite good, but he is hidden by his usual unscrupulousness. If he usually looks like a normal person and doesn’t need any unspoken rules, there must be a large number of actors and actresses who want to embrace him.

Li Ran stepped onto the stage and took over the little golden man who symbolized the highest honor in the film industry from the honored guests. After greeting each other, he started his acceptance speech. His English accent is pure and his pronunciation is very pleasant. “As a Chinese director, I can I am very proud to stand on this podium. First of all, I would like to thank the film “Hometown”, for this story full of romantic passion, for the protagonist and the lovely residents in the story, although they are not the same Not real. So, I should say thanks to us filmmakers for their rich imaginations that made them exist. And to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for giving me this honor, to everyone on the production team, to everyone on the crew , especially Lu Yan. He is both the producer and the protagonist of this film, as well as the copyright owner of the film script. It can be said that without him, this film would not have been born, and I would not be standing here at this moment. When we decided to make this movie together, he said we would make it. Now, we have made it! Finally, thanks to my family, my friends, and all the fans who have seen this movie and supported us , thank you, I love you!”

After his speech, there was another round of warm applause.

Those who are familiar with Li Ran will know that this passage is already the most sensational and emotional acceptance speech he has ever said. It can be seen that he is really excited and excited.

After coming down, Li Ran waved the trophy at Su Mo and Lu Yan, and hugged them gently again.

Soon, the time for the announcement of the best picture will come, and all the relevant personnel who are shortlisted for this award are nervous. This is already the last award at the awards ceremony, and it is also the most important award.

When the presenter slowly opened the sealed bag, everyone’s hearts were lifted. Finally, he announced the winner of tonight’s most important award with a smile. When the English translation of “Hometown” spit out from the mouths of the presenters, there was silence at first, and then all the crew members cheered in warm applause. Lu Yan and Li Ran, who were sitting closest, hugged each other excitedly, and then the two hugged Su Mo, who was sitting beside them.

When accepting the award, all the crew members present stepped onto the podium. Lu Yan, the protagonist and producer, and director Li Ran stood in front, and the others stood in a row behind them.

As a representative, Lu Yan took over the golden statuettes from the awarding guests. The awarding guests shook hands and hugged them one by one to express their congratulations, and then left the stage to them.

Lu Yan stood in front of the microphone, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, “Thank you! This is a great honor, and I want to tell everyone standing beside and behind me that you are all heroes. We interpret “Hometown” “This story. And now, this story has been recognized. The best narrator of this story, the biggest contributor is director Li Ran.”

Li Ran took the microphone and said, “Thank you to everyone, especially Lu Yan, without him this film could not have been born, let alone meet all the audiences. Thanks to everyone who worked hard, thank you for this movie.”

Next, the microphone spun around in the hands of everyone standing on the stage, and finally returned to Lu Yan’s hands, the smile in his eyes deepened, “For me, this movie won this award not only It is the greatest honor, and more important. Because now, I can finally say that I have a little qualification to stand by a person. I often feel that I am a very lucky person, because I can be in the In my best years, I met the most important person in my life. From acquaintance, acquaintance, to love, and now we will be together forever, like the most perfect romantic story in the world, I think it is the most brilliant The director of my film couldn’t make such a beautiful story. I thank him for his tolerance and understanding of me, especially his unreserved love for me. Now, I want to say something to him that I have buried deep in my heart. long,”

Having said this, Lu Yan paused, his eyes fixed firmly on Su Mo, who was sitting in the auditorium, through all the obstacles, infinitely affectionate, infinitely affectionate, and then changed his smile into Chinese word by word The words slowly continued, “Sansheng is fortunate to have your eyes together! My love, Su Mo!”

After he finished speaking, Lu Yan took the lead off the podium. He held the trophy of the little golden man, stared at Su Mo on the opposite side, and walked steadily towards his lover step by step without hesitation.

Su Mo was stunned for a moment, when he realized what Lu Yan wanted to do, he stood up from his seat, walked to the aisle, stood there, smilingly waiting for his lover to approach.

In the eyes of everyone with surprise and admiration, with the blessing of the chase light, Lu Yan walked up to Su Mo and handed him the trophy with both hands. Su Mo lowered his eyelashes slightly, smiled and tied the trophy, and Lu Yan took the trophy into his arms.

Lu Yan wrapped one hand around Su Mo’s waist and the other on his shoulder, bowed his head slightly, and kissed him on the lips. Su Mo didn’t struggle at all. The moment Lu Yan approached, he naturally closed his eyes slightly and greeted him, as they had done countless times between them.

It’s not such a lingering kiss, or even deeper movements, just that the lips fit tightly together, and it looks so pure and so beautiful, just like everyone’s yearning for love.

Applause, laughter, cheers, whistles, and the “pop” sound from the flashing lights kept ringing beside them, and they remained unmoved, immersed in a world with only each other.

This moment is definitely the climax of the entire award ceremony. Fortunately, the last award was awarded, otherwise, it would be a difficult challenge for the host to carry out the next award in such a warm atmosphere.

This year’s Academy Awards ceremony came to an end under such unexpected and extraordinarily romantic circumstances.
