Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 261 A lot of gains
At this point, the performance on stage finally ended.

Host Steve returned to the stage.

He smiled and said, "We've watched a wonderful performance, and now we are going to give out the first award."

"Our first award is: Best Sound Editing. We would like to invite Ms. Julia Roberts to present this award for us."

At the host's invitation, "Big Mouth Beauty" Julia Roberts came to the stage, holding a white envelope in her hand, which contained the name of the final winning work.

But the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

As Julia Roberts approached the microphone, the big screen behind her began to play the shortlist.

The background announcer said: "The winners of the 75th Academy Award for Best Sound Editing are:"

"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers!"

As the announcement sounded, a wonderful clip from the movie was played on the big screen.

Then the next selected work will jump out.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl!
As usual, a 20-second movie clip was played.

"Road to Destruction"!
……

After introducing the three nominated works, Julia Roberts opened the envelope and said with a smile: "The winning work is... Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl!"

Lin Yuan was a little surprised to hear this result.

The previous version of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" was released in 2003, so it participated in the 76th Academy Awards but won nothing.

Thanks to Lin Yuan’s efforts, this film was released a year earlier and won the global box office championship of the year.

The result of the butterfly effect was that the Best Sound Editing Award, which originally belonged to "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", was snatched away by "Pirates of the Caribbean 1".

Director Verbinski, who won the first award, went on stage to receive the trophy with a smile.

The second award was presented immediately afterwards: Best Animated Feature Film.

There are five shortlisted works, namely:
Ice Age

Lilo and Stitch

The Little Pony King

"Spirited Away"

Treasure Planet

The final winner is undoubtedly: "Spirited Away".

Mr. Hayao Miyazaki went on stage to receive the award with a smile, and the person who presented him the award was the beautiful Cameron Diaz.

Lin Yuan was also very happy to see this scene.

"Spirited Away" is one of his favorite animated films.

During this era, his two favorite Japanese animation directors are: Hayao Miyazaki and Satoshi Kon.

Many years later, perhaps a Xinghai City will be added.

The award ceremony continued, and the next award was the one that director Zhang Mou had been dreaming of: Best Cinematography.

There are five shortlisted works, namely:

Chicago

Far From Heaven

"hero"

The Pianist

Road to Destruction

When the award presenter took out the envelope in his hand.

Lin Yuan could clearly feel director Zhang Mou's nervousness and anticipation.

Perhaps this is the most attractive thing about the Oscars: hope!
Finally, the presenter finally pronounced the title: "Hero!"

Director Zhang Mou immediately jumped up from his chair.

He trotted up to the stage and accepted the award, perhaps recalling his youth.

He choked up while giving his speech. He quietly wiped away the tears of mixed emotions from his eyes, finished accepting the award, and returned to his seat.

The first thing he did was whisper to Lin Yuan: "Thank you! Without you, I wouldn't have this opportunity."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. There should be bigger surprises waiting for us later."

The fourth award was presented next: Best Visual Effects.

This is a relatively important award, used to recognize works that have made outstanding contributions and achievements in film visual effects this year.

Therefore, the competition for this award is quite fierce, and the three shortlisted works are not pushovers:

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

"hero"

This shortlist really has something to do with Lin Yuan.

Two of them are Lin Yuan's films, and the other one belongs to his rival in the past two years, "The Lord of the Rings" series.

The guest responsible for presenting the awards was Keanu Reeves, the star of "The Matrix".

He opened the envelope with a smile and said on stage: "This award-winning work was starred by my idol."

As soon as he said this, everyone present immediately knew that it was Lin Yuan's work.

I just don't know which one will win.

Guessing immediately that he was not selected, Peter Jackson, the director of "The Lord of the Rings", shrugged with some regret, but he was not unconvinced. It was not shameful to lose to Lin Yuan.

Keanu Reeves whetted the audience's appetite as he continued, "My idol is in this movie, wielding a sword, looking so heroic. You have no idea how many times I've watched the movie just for those exciting fight scenes."

"Stop keeping me in suspense. It's the same as not saying anything!"

"Lin Yuan used a long sword in both of his movies!"

The audience booed.

Keanu Reeves stopped hiding it and shouted, "Hero!"

When the results were announced, the person who stood up to go on stage to receive the award was not director Zhang Mou.

Lin Yuan stood up from his seat and walked towards the stage with vigorous steps.

The two crews had already agreed that Lin Yuan should go on stage to receive the award on behalf of the crew.

Lin Yuan came to the stage and extended his hand to Keanu Reeves.

But Keanu Reeves did not shake hands with him. Instead, he walked up to him and gave him a gentle hug.

Then Keanu Reeves said, "I finally meet you, my idol. If possible, I really hope you can star in "The Matrix". I am willing to give you the leading role!"

"Thank you for your kindness, but we can talk about this matter later."

It was obvious that Keanu Reeves was a little too excited, and it was inappropriate to say this at the awards ceremony.

The first three "Matrix" movies have been completed. Even if there will be a fourth movie in the future, it is not appropriate to say it so hastily. It can only be said that Keanu Reeves is really too excited.

Lin Yuan took the trophy and began to give a speech.

"Thank you to the Oscars for awarding such an honor to 'Hero'."

“The outstanding visual effects of Hero are mainly due to the efforts of my colleagues on the crew. I just made a tiny contribution.”

"..."

After a round of standard banter, Lin Yuan prepared to step down.

At this time, the host Steve smiled and pulled him back: "Mr. Lin Yuan, don't be in a hurry to leave."

"What? The next award is mine too? So I don't have to run back and forth?"

"Hahahaha!"

There was a good-natured laugh from the audience.

"It's show time again, you should give us a wonderful performance!" said Steve.
