Works nominated for awards are displayed on a large screen in the distance.
Pabotson in "The Miracle Reborn".
Barrett from "Rush Hour".
John Peterson from "The Sorcerer's Apprentice".
And Lu Yuan from "The Pianist on the Sea"...
Everyone present felt a sense of suffocation.
In order to create a more tense atmosphere at the Oscars, they then slowly dimmed the lights on the entire Oscar stage to dark colors and beat them to the same rhythm as the human heartbeat.
on stage.
Bob's originally playful expression slowly turned serious.
Combined with the lighting and rhythmic background sounds, everything feels a bit weird.
"Now, I would like to invite Mr. Duncan, the creator of "El Niño", one of the four movies in Hollywood history, to announce the winner of the Best Actor Award and present the award to everyone. Please give him a round of applause!"
"..."
"..."
As waves of applause sounded, under the lights of the stage in the distance, an envelope appeared in the hand of Duncan, who was nearly sixty years old, and then appeared in the center of the stage.
After seeing Duncan, everyone looked at Lu Yuan unconsciously.
They thought this was another irony.
"El Niño" was once a legendary movie series, but last year, the record of "El Niño" was beaten by "The Pianist" with a box office gap of US$10 million.
In a sense, rise means decline.
"The Pianist" became the fourth highest-grossing movie in Hollywood, while "El Niño" fell off the altar and became the fifth...
And Duncan and Lu Yuan...
All right!
The two actually publicly disagreed last year.
Last year on Twitter, Duncan regarded himself as an eagle and compared Lu Yuan to an ant.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, recorded a video, pretending to be like "I accidentally surpassed your box office, I'm sorry".
It made Mr. Duncan very angry.
Unexpectedly, the two seemed to meet again at the Oscars.
"Thank you everyone for giving me such an opportunity. In fact, I am excited to be standing here, and at the same time, I feel honored..." Duncan looked around and saw Barrett, Pabloson and others,
Finally, his eyes were fixed on Lu Yuan.
He was condescending from above.
Lu Yuan below could only look up at him.
He felt that this feeling should be very good. After all, Lu Yuan was just a minor figure in the entire Oscar ceremony.
He smiled.
but……
Not long after his eyes were fixed on Lu Yuan, Duncan's smile suddenly became dull.
because!
He saw Lu Yuan yawning at him in a very graceless manner, then picked up a napkin and wiped his nose, and spit out a mouthful of imageless phlegm in the trash can next to him.
vulgar!
Quite vulgar!
Duncan breathed unsteadily for a while, and then looked away.
good!
After a while, I will see your defeated expression on the stage...
When others fail, such as Barrett, most Hollywood companies are sympathetic.
After all, I have been running with him for so many years.
But if Lu Yuan fails, even once...
Hollywood companies will definitely try their best to ridicule Lu Yuan.
And among these people there is definitely Duncan!
…………………………
Every year is always the most promising year.
And every year, Barrett has a year of running with him.
Stage left.
Byleth touched his heart and then looked at the stage.
His eyes were a little fiery.
Do I have a chance this year?
"Don't worry, it's okay!"
"Don't worry, you have been accompanying me for ten consecutive years. The Oscar judges will also consider this..."
"And your performance isn't bad either..."
"..."
There are comforting voices all around.
But after hearing these comforting voices, Byleth was not only unhappy, but actually wanted to cry.
ten years!
Damn it, it’s ten years!
God!
How many decades are there in this world?
This year I will run with you again, I...
…………………………
Paboson's eyes were also fiery.
The heart beats at an incredible speed, which makes people panic.
nervous……
Excited!
At the same time, there is a sense of suffocation.
At this moment, the only thing in his mind was the scene of him standing on the stage and humiliating Lu Yuan after he won the Best Actor Award.
He would make Lu Yuan applaud, and he would laugh and make Lu Yuan admit his failure.
Did you say failure?
Paboson never thought about it. On the one hand, he was very arrogant and did not think that he would fail. On the other hand, he felt that he could not bear the blow of failure!
After all, from walking on the red carpet to now, he is definitely very angry with Lu Yuan. If he fails again at the most critical moment, then he will completely become the biggest joke at the beginning of this year.
Therefore, he couldn't bear this kind of blow.
God!
Please!
Let me win once, this time, I must win!
Must win!
Let this Chinese see it, let him see what cruelty is!
Please!
God!
………………………………
"The person who won this year's Oscar for Best Actor is..."
The envelope was slowly opened by Duncan.
Duncan himself felt excited.
All the stage lights shine on Duncan...
When Duncan saw the name inside the envelope, his expression did not change, he still had that smile, but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly...
Although, this twitching is very light.
Then, the envelope was slowly opened and he checked it again.
After confirming that it was indeed this person, Duncan felt unable to breathe.
He looked up...
Look below.
Byleth, who had been running with him for ten years, turned red and looked at him excitedly.
Paboson clenched his fists, with a hint of longing in his eyes.
And Peterson had the same expression...
As for Lu Yuan...
Lu Yuan's appearance made Duncan extremely strange.
He was holding his chin with his hands, seeming to be staring at the billboard not far away, deep in thought. Of course, he was also looking at the judges behind the stage...
He looked very confused!
"Lu Yuan, congratulations to Lu Yuan, congratulations to "The Pianist on the Sea"..."
Duncan clapped.
Smile brightly.
However, deep down in my heart, I felt like I was being cut by a knife, and I even wanted to leave this stage at this moment.
Lu Yuan's imagined failure did not appear. Not only did it not appear, but he actually won the award in a very embarrassing way.
he!
Why win the award?
Why?
Countless voices rang in Duncan's heart, but he had to maintain his enthusiasm and happiness.
Although most people looked unhappy and had an urge to hit someone.
But there were still countless applauses.
After all, this is the Oscars.
After all, we are all gentlemen.
………………………………
"..."
"..."
Amid the applause, Barrett's smile disappeared.
Not only that, he even lowered his head and started crying.
And she cried very sadly.
His mentality collapsed and his emotions exploded instantly.
Ten years!
There are nominations and awards every year, they come every year, they give him hope that he shouldn’t have, but he keeps running with him every year.
Why be so cruel to him?
Just give him a movie star, can't you?
Why can't God take care of me?
In short, after all the emotions, Barrett stood up, spoke to the people around him, put on his hat, turned around and left.
The reporter recorded his back.
His back looks very lonely and in a bad mood.
In tomorrow's section, I must write "The tenth year of failure, Oscar runner-up Barrett."
yes!
It’s been ten years!
In the previous nine years, he had never cried, but on the tenth year, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
After Barrett left the field, Pabloson also lowered his head.
His face became pale.
He watched the lights shine on Lu Yuan's body, and then Lu Yuan stood up and walked towards the stage again.
Thousands of glory and attention were focused on Lu Yuan.
At this moment, Paboson felt like a clown.
even……
He felt like he could no longer hear anything in his ears, as if he was deaf!
The indescribable struggle and disbelief deep in my heart.
A chill surrounded him.
He shivered.
"I want to win an Oscar! Jesus can't stop me!"
"..."
He seemed to have heard the arrogant and provocative words he said during the interview.
At this moment, these words seemed like a joke, and they seemed like a slap on his face.
Suffocate him.
…………………………
"congratulations."
"Thank you Mr. Duncan."
"You're welcome!"
"..."
Duncan handed the statuette to Lu Yuan, but deep down he was definitely unhappy.
Of course, he had to keep smiling.
Then I want to take a photo with Lu Yuan.
What is the most speechless thing in the world?
It's obvious that you hate this person, and obviously you want to cut him into pieces!
However, he appeared next to you, and you personally gave him the honor. Not only that, you also smiled and made a disgusting look of admiration.
Duncan felt like he was going to vomit!
He even regretted being this guest. In fact, he had agreed to be this guest because he felt that Lu Yuan had no chance of winning the award. He could have taken a good look at Lu Yuan's desperate face.
but……
it is a pity.
The development of things was completely beyond his expectation, and he...
I can only shake hands with Lu Yuan, take a photo, and then leave.
After completing this series of things.
Lu Yuan stood on the stage and looked around at everyone below.
Basically, everyone's expressions were not very good, and everyone seemed to have been slapped.
In this land, one of their most glorious awards was actually won by a Chinese.
This is undoubtedly a very unpleasant and humiliating thing.
Lu Yuan smiled brightly.
"First of all, as before, I would also like to thank all the chairing committees..."
"As usual, I would also like to thank all my companies, including "remote" live broadcast, "remote" games, and "remote catering..." for your support, which has allowed me to get to where I am now..."
"This award means a lot to me. It's really not easy for me. I almost want to cry..."
"..."
Lu Yuan acted shamelessly as usual.
After feeling shameless, I wiped my tears hypocritically.
It was as if he was not the one wiping his nose or yawning in the audience, but someone else.
After pretending for a while, Lu Yuan looked in Paboson's direction again.
"Mr. Paboson, my friend..."
"I hope to hear your applause, after all, we have agreed!"
"I hope you can congratulate me!"
"..."
moment……
The stage lights shone on Paboson's face.
Pabloson's eyes widened, and his body shivered uncontrollably.
The chest keeps rising and falling.
He was furious, but extremely patient.
finally……
He still stood up in the spirit of a gentleman.
"Congratulations, my friend!"
Under the light...
The words "my friend" seemed to be bitten out from between the teeth.
His God did not come.
His Jesus has not come...
as if……
At this moment, all the gods seemed to have abandoned this poor believer.
