In contrast to Robert's happiness are several losers.
Their expressions were captured on the big screen. Although everyone was applauding and congratulating Robertson, they could not help but feel disappointed in their hearts.
Yes, who would want to lose the election?
It is very difficult for every star to chase the Oscar winner. It is not only a matter of acting skills, but also the quality of the work.
It doesn't matter how good your acting skills are if your work is not good. Only those who are excellent in both will have a chance to pursue this award.
And no one can guarantee that their next film will still be included in the Oscar Film Festival.
Therefore, every award is very important to everyone, and may even be the only opportunity in this life.
When you are closest but still lose, that huge loss has a huge impact on people.
If there is no hope, there will be no disappointment. Although every step is difficult, whether you die on the first step or die on the last step, it is the last step that will hit people deeper.
Because it’s only a little bit true!
Every award ceremony is an unforgettable memory for many actors. The winners cry with joy and the losers are filled with grief.
"I'm very happy to receive this award. First of all, I want to thank..." Robertson happily delivered a speech on the stage.
Liang Wei was a little lost. His eyes looked at the statuette in Robertson's hand on the stage, and they were extremely empty.
His defeat this time really hit him hard.
"Still lost..."
"The closest I've ever been to being an actor..."
Liang Wei felt bitter in his heart, and a wry smile appeared on his lips.
The expressions of the other two foreigners were not much better, and they were both secretly sad at the moment.
Some people even left the film festival and went back on the excuse of going to the toilet.
If he loses, there is no need to stay any longer, which will only increase his sorrow.
"Viagra, are you feeling better?" Chen Mubai asked from the side.
He was in a good mood and not that uncomfortable.
Although it is indeed a pity to miss out on the Oscar statuette, it is not that serious.
He has also won many Best Actors, and the demand for Best Actors is not that high. This is one thing.
On the other hand, "The Master of Hypnotism" and "Infernal Affairs" were both produced by him, and he also won other awards, so he didn't come away empty-handed.
Moreover, he still has a chance for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director, unlike Liang Wei and others, who only have one Best Actor nomination. If they lose it, they will really be gone.
Chen Mubai still has a chance? So he is in a better mood.
However, everyone wants to win as many awards as possible. This is human nature. It is really a pity that he missed the statuette.
"Well, what's next? It's up to you." Liang Wei breathed out slowly and smiled reluctantly.
His journey is over? But Chen Mubai's journey is still going on? The journey of the crew of "Infernal Affairs" is also going on, and he doesn't want to affect them because of himself.
After calming down for a while, I felt really much better.
The main reason was the discomfort at that moment, when his name was read? His heart beat uncontrollably faster.
Actually? Liang Wei has never had high hopes for his chances of winning the award.
Because Chen Mubai is his opponent and his performance is very strong.
In the domestic Golden Horse Award selection, the two were also competitors? Chen Mubai had defeated him before, this time? He didn't have much confidence that he could beat Chen Mubai.
So, besides being very sad at first, his mood soon calmed down a lot.
After all, I had been vaccinated in my heart, but the moment my name was read? That kind of hope still emerged.
Now? Just as he expected? He was indeed defeated.
However, Chen Mubai also lost the election. Just like what they said when they came to the United States, there is no guarantee about the award. There is no 100% probability.
"I won too many awards in the past, which is not a good sign." Qian Guang sighed from the side.
In fact, this Best Actor Award is a proof that Liang Wei and Chen Mubai are not weaker than Robertson, and even because of the eye scene, strictly speaking, their acting skills are better than each other.
After all, there is a big difference between having lines and not having lines. Lines are a way to vent emotions and emotions, while eye scenes rely entirely on eyes to tell, which is extremely difficult.
There are not many actors in the world who are particularly good at eye-catching, but there are quite a few actors like Robertson who were selected for their comprehensive acting skills.
The interpretation of Liang Wei's eyes in this scene is indeed more difficult, because it is a pure expression of eyes.
It can only be said that he is slightly better than Robertson, but not to the point of being exaggerated and suppressed to death. After all, Robertson's performance is also very good, but relatively speaking, Liang Wei's acting is more difficult. The probability of winning the award depends on his acting skills.
It's a bit bigger.
But this award was given to Robertson. Does it mean that "Infernal Affairs" has already won several awards before, so the organizing committee did not give the Best Actor Award to the movie "Infernal Affairs"?
Chen Mubai also lost the election, which may be a signal from the officials.
"Let's see again." Luo Fan was also a little troubled.
The probability of this situation is relatively high, but if it weren't for the fact that there is no chance of winning the prize, any glimmer of hope is hope and I can only pray.
Luo Fan is very confident that "Infernal Affairs" will win awards. In fact, he did win several awards and gained a lot.
However, none of these awards are particularly valuable. It would be great if he could win another one for Best Actor, Director, etc. This is what Luo Fan thinks.
...
"what a pity......"
"It was just a little bit close, but I didn't expect to lose."
“Can’t China win an Oscar for Best Actor?”
"Hey, Chen Mubai and Liang Wei both lost. I think their performances were not bad!"
"It is indeed not bad, and the other party is not bad either. It depends on the official. In fact, in terms of acting skills, it can be given to anyone. The difference is not big. But "Infernal Affairs" has won several awards before, and the ones who won later will be
The probability is very low.”
"So, there is no chance for Best Foreign Language Film?"
"right......"
Netizens in China who were watching the live broadcast were very excited just now, but after the results came out, everyone was discouraged and felt sorry for them.
"Don't worry, look again, the awards haven't been awarded yet, there are still opportunities, everyone continue to cheer for them!"
...
"It seems that "Infernal Affairs" has won many awards before, and the official may not give them awards."
"There is a high probability that both films were produced by Chen Mubai. Maybe the organizing committee took this into consideration and spread the awards to the two films as much as possible, but when it comes to Chen Mubai, they will give him less awards."
This is not impossible. Although two films won the award, they were all shot by one person.
If both films win many awards, in fact, they both belong to Chen Mubai, which means that Chen Mubai alone won many awards, which is not very balanced.
"I hope that's the case, then our chances of winning will greatly increase!"
"Yes, but their performance was really great and they were a respectable opponent."
The competitors in the audience were whispering to each other, and the crew members who competed with "Infernal Affairs" were analyzing the situation.
At this time, the judges once again announced a heavyweight award.
"Shortlist for Best Director..."
The two movies "Infernal Affairs" and "The Master of Hypnotism" are included, as well as the remaining three movies.
This is also a relatively important award, and it is also a personal award, equivalent to the Best Actor Award for actors.
"The winner of the Best Director award is Starev for "Love"!"
"..."
Chen Mubai lost again!
The uneasiness in the hearts of Luo Fan and others became more and more intense, and Tao Yaoyao's expression became serious. One of her hands tightly held Chen Mubai's palm, wanting to encourage him.
The two crew members were very disappointed. They hoped that Chen Mubai could continue to win awards. After all, Chen Mubai was their director, so his heart naturally turned towards his own people.
"It's okay." Chen Mubai smiled at Tao Yaoyao.
He is not that fragile. There is a time in life that must come, but there is no time in life. Don't force it.
For him, this is the first time to enter the Oscars, but it will never be the last.
As long as he wants to be famous internationally, his future works will inevitably go international, and then he will have the opportunity to enter these world-renowned film festivals again.
Even if you don't win this time, you will always have a chance next time.
Chen Mubai is quite stable in his heart, but others don’t know it!
Everyone was afraid that Chen Mubai had been successful all the way. If he fell this time, it would be a big blow to him, so he would be too sad. Everyone comforted him in advance and let him get out of the predicament.
"Actually, it's not bad. I won a lot of awards in the past."
Luo Fan forced a smile and said: "We can't win all the awards. The organizing committee must take care of other films."
Although his words were meant to comfort Chen Mubai, they were not meant for him.
They have indeed won a lot of awards, but who cares if there are too many awards, and it is indeed a pity that there is not a particularly valuable award.
According to the principle of equal sharing of awards, a work cannot win too many awards. This is very normal, no matter how excellent the film is.
The shortlisted works are all very outstanding. If all the awards were given to one work, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for the other works?
However, this trip has already paid off, and it’s not like it’s a waste of money.
Some film crews are really pitiful and don't win a single award. In comparison, they have already gained a lot.
Chen Mubai was defeated again, which also made Chinese netizens watching the live broadcast sigh.
Everyone also felt sorry for Chen Mubai, and they also felt that there might really be no prize.
There are already a lot of awards awarded in the past, maybe it is to make up for "Infernal Affairs"'s failure to win any important awards?
...
"We guessed it right!"
"In this way, our probability of winning will be greatly increased, and "Infernal Affairs" will be eliminated early!"
"Originally, I was still regretting that the film did not win an award, but now it seems that this may be the best result!"
"Haha, we haven't won the award yet, will the best foreign language film be awarded to us!?"
"I think it's very possible that the film that just won the Best Director award had nothing to gain before this?"
The actors from Belgium chatted happily in low voices.
Their works, like "Infernal Affairs", were nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, and they are also competitors with each other.
Several previous shortlisted nominations were all defeated by "Infernal Affairs", resulting in their current award failure.
At that time, everyone was quite disappointed, until "Infernal Affairs" suffered repeated setbacks in subsequent awards, including losing to another film in the Best Director competition, which cheered them up.
Because before that movie, it also failed to make any money, but it won awards.
Will their works be like the other's and eventually be able to counterattack and win the Best Foreign Language Film?
...
The awards are still going on, and the host is livening up the atmosphere while awarding awards.
"The works shortlisted for the best foreign language film include "Infernal Affairs", "A Little Affair", "Kill List"..."
The host read several shortlisted works in one breath, and everyone's expressions became tense again.
Everyone from the Belgian crew held their breath, waiting for the final result.
Their work is "The Killer List", which currently has no results. This is also the last award they have been shortlisted for. If it fails again, their trip to the Oscars will be a complete runaway!
However, they are very confident that this award will eventually fall to them.
Excerpts from the movie are playing on the big screen, and they are all wonderful scenes.
"Infernal Affairs" was aired first, excerpted from the rooftop scene, the peak acting showdown between Liang Wei and Chen Mubai, and it was also the climax of the plot.
The two stood on the empty rooftop, surrounded by the strong wind. They were rivals, and their expressions and eyes were all playful.
The lines are in Chinese, but there are English translations so the audience can understand them.
In fact, at this point, the lines are no longer important. What is important is the tone and the expression of emotion in the eyes. This movie shocked everyone.
They already knew before that this movie has a lot of eye scenes, and they are very classic. It is one of the few works that does not require lines to rely on eyes to express many scenes, which is extremely rare.
But the degree of completion is very high, and the actors' performance is excellent.
The stars may not know about this work, but many filmmakers know about it, and they all know about the works shortlisted for the film festival.
In their opinion, this film is definitely among the best in this film festival!
Whether it’s the plot setting, the characters’ emotional expressions and struggles, or the acting, this drama is excellent!
"get......"
"Here we come!" Luo Fan and others were also excited.
Tao Yaoyao's hold on Chen Mubai's hand gradually tightened.
Chen Mubai stared at the host with no change in expression.
The audience in the audience looked curious, who will win this award?
Many netizens who support Chen Mubai across the ocean are posting barrages and supporting Chen Mubai in their own way.
They also became nervous. The barrage was densely packed, but the fonts were very clear, and they all read "Infernal Affairs"!
Everyone hopes that the name of the movie read out by the host is "Infernal Affairs"!
