Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 264 The ceremony ends and we are back on the road

It didn't seem out of place for Lin Yuan and director Zhang Mou to go on stage together to receive the award.

Generally, one person goes on stage to receive the Oscar award.

But it is not impossible for multiple people to go on stage. For example, for the Best Picture Award, the director and producer often go on stage together.

There was once a film that won an award, and five filmmakers and a director came on stage, making it a bit too crowded and lively.

Later, the Oscars stipulated that in principle no more than three people should go on stage.

When Lin Yuan and director Zhang Mou came on stage.

Charlize Theron first shook hands with director Zhang Mou.

Then when it was Lin Yuan's turn, he also stretched out his hand.

But Charlize Theron opened her arms.

It would be bad to reject the enthusiasm of a beautiful woman in public, so Lin Yuan had to step forward and give her a close hug.

While they were still hugging, Charlize Theron gently circled Lin Yuan's back with her fingers twice, and the teasing was too obvious.

Director Zhang Mou took the trophy and stood in front of the microphone. He opened his mouth but didn't utter a word.

Lin Yuan patted him gently on the back, and Director Zhang Mou finally spoke: "Thank you to the Oscars for giving me such an honor."

"I am also very grateful to audiences around the world for loving 'Hero' so much, which gives me the opportunity to stand here and accept the award."

"I would also like to express my special thanks to Lin Yuan."

"He was very optimistic about the film from the very beginning and took the initiative to contact me to finance the filming of 'Hero'."

"His help to me is not limited to this. The script of 'Hero' was also improved and perfected with his joint efforts."

"Needless to say, his wonderful performance in the play is outstanding."

"I am a very self-aware person. Without Lin Yuan's help, I would definitely not be able to receive this award today. So, I want to thank him again."

"Now, please let Lin Yuan say a few words to everyone."

Director Zhang Mou bowed deeply to the audience, then stepped back and left the seat for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly. Originally, he was just accompanying Director Zhang Mou on stage to receive the award and was not planning to speak.

But he couldn't refuse the invitation, so he stood in front of the microphone.

"Wow, wow, wow~"

Before Lin Yuan started speaking, the audience burst into applause.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I won't be performing any more shows today."

"Hahaha~"

There was laughter from the audience.

"But if the Oscar organizing committee gives me the award for my new film next year, I will definitely come back and give an even more exciting performance," said Lin Yuan.

"You are not allowed to go to the airport to promote your new movie, nor are you allowed to canvass for votes for next year's awards in advance. Lin Yuan, you are too cunning." The host Steve complained.

Seeing this scene, the director of the evening show backstage said, "If I had the final say, I would definitely give him an award. For the sake of the show's ratings, he can't be let off."

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, then continued, "Director Zhang Mou thanked me just now, but that was too much of a compliment. Actually, I'm also very grateful for the opportunity to star in 'Hero'."

"While filming this movie, I visited many beautiful scenic spots. Who wouldn't like such a wonderful job?" "Haha~ Lin Yuan is right. I like the Guilin landscape in the movie the most. It is so moving. For this, I am willing to star in the movie." Charles Theron said on the side.

"I prefer the golden poplar forest. I would like to go there if I have the chance," said the host Steve.

"Through the movie "Hero", I am honored to show the magnificent beauty of China's mountains and rivers to the world. This is my greatest gain. Everyone is welcome to visit the site when you have time to experience it for yourself." Lin Yuan did not forget to canvass votes for domestic tourist attractions.

"As for this award, Director Zhang Mou has already said it, so I won't elaborate further. I look forward to gaining more recognition from everyone with my work next year. Thank you."

"Lin Yuan, you are openly asking for an award, but if your work satisfies me, I will fully support you," said the host Steve.

"Can we just do a simple advertisement?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

"Huh? Just say it, and I'll pretend I didn't see it," Steve replied.

"My new movie, "The King of Spy Wars," will be officially released in a month and a half. I firmly believe that this is the strongest action movie ever. Everyone is welcome to find fault with it!" Lin Yuan showed a confident look and made a domineering declaration.

After saying that, he and director Zhang Mou expressed their gratitude again and walked down the stage together.

At this point, for Lin Yuan, tonight’s award-winning journey has come to an end.

The remaining important awards competition has nothing to do with him.

In the end, the Best Director Award was won by Roman Polanski for the film "The Pianist".

The winner of the Best Picture Award is: "Chicago".

The Best Actor (Best Actor) was won by Adrien Brody, also from the movie "The Pianist".

The Best Actress award went to Nicole Kidman for her role in the movie "The Hours."

It is worth mentioning that when Nicole Kidman went on stage to receive the Best Actress award, Tom Cruise, who was sitting in the audience, looked particularly lonely.

In recent years, in order to compete for the title of Best Actor, he deliberately reduced his appearances in commercial films and even broke up with his agent of many years.

But still nothing was gained.

Lin Yuan knew his pain. As a male artist who debuted with his handsome face, he would be more picky by the Oscar organizing committee.

It will be much more difficult to win the Best Actor award, and you need to achieve achievements far beyond ordinary people to successfully reach the top.

In his previous life, after experiencing countless setbacks, Tom Cruise finally accepted his failure and returned to continue making commercial action movies.

Leonardo DiCaprio, who is in the same ecological niche as him, kept failing in his attempts, to the point that the public was sympathizing with him about why he hadn't won any awards. Finally, in 2016, he won the Best Actor award at the 88th Academy Awards for his role in "The Revenant".

It can be seen how difficult this road is.

Lin Yuan was not worried at all.

Some people need to win awards to prove themselves.

Some awards need to be given to the right person to prove themselves.

He believes he is not far from winning the Oscar for Best Actor.

In the near future, he will take the crown with indisputable results.

He is very confident about his two upcoming films in 2003:
Who says action movies can’t be favored by the Oscar jury?

If anyone dares to disapprove, we will use the storm of public opinion to crush it!
With the award ceremony coming to an end, the annual industry evaluation has come to a temporary end.

Lin Yuan also plunged into endless busyness again:
He is about to fire the first shot in this year's movie box office war.
