How can there be thunder and lightning?
The awards show was still going on. After the two awards were announced, it was soon time for Shen Yu to accept the award. The award for Best Foreign Language Film was already reserved for Seven Deadly Sins.
Shen Yu adjusted his clothes and waited for him to go on stage.
The host of the show is not the old host who has hosted it for several consecutive years, but a well-known speaker in the industry. This man in his thirties is very talkative and speaks very quickly. However, Shen Yu thinks he is a bit frivolous, and he is a bit frivolous. Not the previous host.
But, it doesn’t matter, everyone has a different style, maybe in the future everyone will like his dancing style more.
"The following is the Best Foreign Language Film Award!"
The male host on the stage suddenly raised the envelope in his hand.
"Let me guess, who will win the prize today?"
The light hit Shen Yu's face at this time, and many people at the scene not only laughed, but also started to applaud.
After all, when Director Shen Yuchen appeared here, everyone knew who the winners were for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director, and no one was unconvinced. To be honest, this award had already won the award for "Saving the Soldiers". You should have given it when you were on the list or Schindler's List.
Well, Schindler's List was written in plain text, and it was a movie invested by Ming Dynasty. It won the Best Picture Award last year.
Shen Yu smiled, stood up, bowed to the people around him, and then walked onto the stage.
"Let me introduce to you the recent winner of the Foreign Language Film Award, Mr. Shen Yuchen!"
The host shook hands with Shen Yu enthusiastically, then ordered someone to deliver the trophy and asked Shen Yu to give an acceptance speech.
Shen Yu glanced at the host. He didn't open the envelope with the list of winners in his hand. However, it didn't matter. This kind of envelope was not sealed. Maybe he was too excited and forgot about this link. Shen Yu didn't remind him either. , this does not affect anything.
What should I say?
There are thousands of words in my heart, and the audience below has a happy expression. It is a wonderful night. Shen Yu is very grateful to the people of this world for appreciating the culture of another world.
This honor makes him very embarrassed. He is just a porter. Thank you for giving me this stage so that I can enjoy this wonderful honor!
What should I say?
Well, suddenly, Shen Yu remembered an old joke, the quick talkers in another time and space.
"Dear viewers in front of the TV, friends in front of the radio, maybe you have just turned on the TV and radio. This is the Gemdale Building in Shenhaicheng in 1701 during the Ming Dynasty.
There will be an awards ceremony here tonight. Directors from various countries will appear. The first row is the highly respected judges. The audience and directors from all over the world are wearing ancient robes and suits.
Position 1 is the highly respected director Wang Sitong, whose representative roles include Midnight Gunshot and Day Trip. The judge next to him is Mr. Feng, a veteran Shaoxing opera artist. At the age of seventy-two, he has gained fame all over the world, and his song Zhaojun Departs the Frontier is world-famous. Next to me is Mr. Robert, an artist from Johor. I really admire the combination of his clothes. The red and black are exactly the clothes in his latest film The Queen's Diary..."
Shen Yu's voice was very fast, which made the host very depressed. He was supposed to introduce the following plot, but Shen Yu named the dishes in one breath?
"The Golden Orchid Award was founded ninety-eight years ago. At that time, film had become an art. The great director Xue Shutong and eight artists jointly created this award. They are Guo Xiaoshuang, Chen Haiyun, Xiao Ningtian, Wang Peishan, and Li Hanyun. , Zhao Bingxuan, Sun Zhen, Cheng Paner."
Ahhhh, he only took three steps and said so much!
"The times are developing, science and technology are advancing, and every year there are many outstanding movies that reach everyone's audiences. We won't talk about movies no matter how far away they are. Now let's talk about the later ones, from "The Wild Sands", "The Lost Dreams of the Small House", "The Little House" ”, “At the End of the World”, “To Kill an Oriole”, “My Heart Is Your Heart”, “The Big Red Robe”, “How I Became a Murderer”, “Confessions of a Police Officer”, “Love Is Love”, these movies are all masterpieces !”
The host saw Shen Yu walking aside and reported the titles of the Best Film Awards at the Golden Lan Awards in the past ten years, in exactly the same order.
As for me, you took my job!
"Now comes the most important awards ceremony. The director who comes up is named Shen Yu. He was born in 1679 AD, 278 AD..."
What a quick mouth!
At this time, Shen Yu walked around the host without stopping, and the audience below had already reacted and were laughing from ear to ear.
"This program is supported by...daily soy sauce, three-grade high-quality rice, big happy MSG...(a series of advertising slogans), I speak for myself!"
Shen Yu's introduction ended here, without any bumps in the middle, and the audience below also burst into fierce applause. No one expected that Director Shen Yu's speech would be so interesting, and it would be an unprecedented way of artistic expression.
At this moment, Teacher Song Shixiong and Teacher xxx were possessed by their souls!
"Thank you to Director Shen for giving us a speech and for his passionate performance. Thank you."
The host picked up the trophy with a smile and wanted to hand it to Shen Yu, but just when Shen Yu was about to get the trophy, he suddenly smiled evilly.
"By the way, I made a mistake and forgot to open the envelope. Although 99% of it is Director Shen's name, I have to make sure, right?"
The host grinned widely, his white teeth exposed, and Shen Yu felt that he had evil intentions at this time.
What are they going to do?
The host opened the envelope and made an exaggerated sound of surprise.
"Ah, the recent foreign language film award was won by Shen... no, it was Mr. Odyssey, the director of Burning City!"
His voice suddenly became louder, and he pointed at Odyssey in the audience.
Mr. Odyssey was stunned. He didn't believe his ears, especially when the host clearly confirmed for the second time that it was him who won the Best Foreign Language Film Award!
There was no joy at all on his face, only shock and panic.
what happened?
Or rather, how is it possible?
He is very talented, and he looks down on most directors. Burning City is also his proud work, but... he doesn't think it can be compared with Seven Deadly Sins.
Director Shen used a variety of new shooting methods in this movie, including montage, suspense, and religion (the 1995 movie was placed in the 1970s, and it is the most classic, and the gap between them can make people despair), Everything made him just come to run with me this time.
Including the applause just now, including the surprise now, they are all extremely sincere.
"Director of Odyssey, come up quickly, this time the winner of the Best Foreign Language Film is you!"
The host smiled and said to Director Odyssey. He simply ignored Shen Yu, walked directly to Director Odyssey, and invited him to come up.
His eyes fell on several judges. At this time, the expressions of the judges were very different.
Some were expressionless, some were frowning, some were unhappy, and some were smiling, but no one stood up and said that the host was wrong and that this award belongs to Shen Yu!
"Come up quickly!"
The host said this, and Odyssey had to drag his heavy steps up.
As a director born and raised in South America, he cannot refuse the temptation of the Ming Dynasty Golden Orchid Award, not to mention the power of capital represented by this award. If he could win this award in the past, he would immediately cheer and even lose his temper. He shed tears, but now, his only thought is, if you gods fight, don't involve me, okay?
I'm just a young director. I'm not worthy of being compared with Director Shen. Everyone can see his talent and ability. You just put me on a shelf and grilled me today!
Dragging heavy steps onto the award podium, the director of Odyssey showed no joy at all on his face. On the contrary, the hand that took the trophy was trembling a little because he knew very well that he had been cheated.
Best foreign language film?
His "Burning City" was put under the microscope to observe little by little, pointed out the problems, and then asked why this movie defeated Director Shen?
Especially the embarrassment and design just now made Director Shen embarrassed on the stage.
He is so damn immoral, it’s a shame that Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette.
He felt that his throat was very dry. He was usually eloquent and eloquent, but now he was hesitant. He didn't dare to look at Shen Yu's face, and just said dryly that he was very grateful for letting him win the award. He was not capable enough and didn't think about it at all. If you win a prize, someone is much better than you, you don't know what's going on, etc...
He stammered a lot, and then he didn't know how he got down. He just felt that the trophy in his hand was very hot. This was simply...
…
Wang Yinuo's family is watching the live TV broadcast of the Golden Orchid Awards.
In this era, the TV is the entertainment center of the family. Generally speaking, the head of the family has the power to turn the TV - the remote control is not yet popular, and the main thing is to twist the switch.
However, today the whole family is happily watching the live broadcast of the Golden Orchid Awards, because this is a famous award in the Ming Dynasty and is very popular every year. Director Shen Yuchen was also invited to the stage this year.
Director Shen is a very interesting person, but he rarely accepts interviews from the news media. When interviewed, they are all recorded and there is almost no video.
This sense of mystery makes the audience full of expectations.
"Tell me, how will Director Shen deliver his speech?"
The audience of the Ming Dynasty is proud. The cultural advantages of hundreds of years, no, thousands of years, have allowed them to look down on other civilizations. Even if Shen Yu is recognized as a movie master, everyone thinks that he is just a movie. A small transcendence of genius, but he will definitely respect the culture of Ming Dynasty.
Of course, it also includes the Golden Orchid Award, the century-old film’s highest award.
"Of course thank you, thank you. Director Shen is usually very gentle. I have read news reports and he is actually a very introverted young man."
"What kind of introverted young man can make a comedic movie like this? Can he be introverted and not interact with others?"
"Anyway, I guess his speech was very gentle, just some polite words."
"Yeah, that's right."
The whole family thought so, and then Director Shen showed everyone what it means to speak quickly. The moment Teacher Song Shixiong and Teacher xxx were possessed by their souls, everyone wanted to laugh from ear to ear.
It's really... so interesting.
This paragraph is not only flattering, but also so fresh and refined.
"It would be great if Director Shen made more comedies. Look at the Seven Deadly Sins he filmed. They were so depressing."
When his father said this, Wang Yinuo just curled his lips. He really liked movies with dark material, especially the ending of the Seven Deadly Sins, which made him addicted.
The Riddler, it turns out this is the Riddler! He was thinking about it, but he had never thought that a Riddler movie could be shot like this!
Batman comics have become very popular in the Ming Dynasty. Countless children, young people, and middle-aged people are watching this comic created by director Shen Yu and guessing how to film the characters in it.
Riddler, Batman, Penguin, Criminal, Catwoman... Director Shen gives everyone a great surprise every time. He seems to have the magic power to turn stone into gold. Each story in different styles turns Batman into a second-rate comic. Became a true classic!
