"Clap la la", thunderous applause swept in, the red curtain on the side stage was slowly lifted, and then a smiling Asian face could be seen, who left the stage under the guidance of the emcee and walked over.
The figure of the coming person made Ren Li's eyes light up slightly. It turned out that the award that just ended was the best director.
Throughout this year's awards season, Ben Affleck of "Escape from Tehran" and Steven Spielberg of "Lincoln" have shown fierce competition, and the battle between the two is undoubtedly the biggest attraction; In addition to this, Ang Lee of "The Fantasy Drift of the Young Pi" and David-O-Russell of "The Line of Happiness behind the Dark Cloud" are also the focus of the first group.
But after the Golden Globes ended, the Oscar nominations were officially announced, and Affleck, who was proud of the spring breeze, was unexpectedly out, which also made the trend of Oscar's major awards suddenly unpredictable.
In the last life, Ang Lee successfully stood out and became the biggest beneficiary of Affleck's exit. After "Brokeback Mountain", he won his second best director award; in this life, the spoiler Renly is missing. After the blending, the historical trajectory did not shift too much, and Ang Lee successfully climbed to the top again, becoming a representative figure of Chinese directors in the Vanity Fair of Hollywood.
At this moment, it was Li An who appeared in front of Ren Li.
The excitement and excitement deep in his soul began to flap his butterfly wings. Renly politely stepped aside and greeted Ang Lee, "Congratulations."
Li An's footsteps paused for a moment, and through the dim light, he vaguely captured the outline of Renly's face, showing a sudden realization, "Oh, thank you."
Renly smiled and nodded for a moment, "This time the work is very good, and the visual effects are really amazing. Of course, I like the discussion and depth of Eastern philosophy in the story."
"Undoubtedly, this is a work worth watching again and again. To be honest, I don't know any director who can combine the subtlety of the East and the spiciness of the West so perfectly. Looking forward to your next work." The rhythm of speaking seemed to be slow and unhurried, but the amount of information in a short period of time was very turbulent, and Renly expressed all his thoughts calmly.
Then, once again expressing "congratulations", Renly, under the guidance of the staff, left the side stage, walked along a side passage to the back of the stage, and appeared in a positive manner.
Li An stood there, slightly stunned.
Just after receiving the award, the emotions in my mind continued to churn, and my reaction was a little bit out of rhythm. Suddenly I met Renly, and suddenly I received a message. Before I could recover, Renly had already Turning around and leaving, after thinking about it carefully, Li An couldn't help but chuckle. This young actor is an interesting guy.
"Li?" The master of ceremonies reminded politely.
Li An immediately reacted. They were still standing on the side platform. This is not a place to stay for a long time. If you continue to stand here, it will only cause traffic jams. Therefore, he quickly nodded in affirmation, and then walked away. He walked towards the waiting room, fully accepting the congratulations and congratulations from his colleagues.
On the other hand, Renly's footsteps had come directly behind, and on the stage, Seth's simple string of words could be clearly heard.
After the Best Director Award was awarded just now, the TV broadcast cut into a commercial, because the awards ceremony was coming to an end, and now there are only three important awards for Best Actress, Best Actor and Best Picture, which are also the most popular. The moment of attention, this advertisement is the last chance for the whole awards ceremony.
After the commercial ended, Seth appeared again, adjusted the atmosphere of the scene with a relaxed tone, and re-cut into the award ceremony.
“… When we mention this person, we reject envy steadfastly, because once envy means losing. But honestly, who doesn’t want to be him?”
"He's handsome, he's handsome, his humor, his cuteness, his youthfulness, his sadness, his focus... God, I'm definitely not in love with him Absolutely not; but I believe he made countless people fall in love with him and made his own history with a heartbroken look."
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome, Your Excellency Renly-Hall."
Seth's string of words is concise and witty, humorous and likable, while self-reporting, but with a touch of wit, successfully eliciting a low laugh; more importantly, at the last moment, he quotes "Your Excellency. ”, this is definitely the finishing touch, reminding people once again that Renly was born into a nobleman.
As a result, in the Dolby Theater, applause broke out, and at the same time, many audience members stood up one after another, whistled, cheers and shouts were endless, and I could really feel the welcome and support from Hollywood.
Renly's footsteps settled on the microphone in front of him, but the warm applause didn't stop, which made him chuckle, "I guess my publicist and agent work has finally paid off. "With an inexplicable remark, the guests present were stunned, and they didn't understand what was going on.
The subtext is: After the identity of the hereditary aristocracy is exposed, public relations work will undoubtedly be hard, otherwise Hollywood will always be full of rejection of British highly educated academy actors, as Renly said in an interview on "The Ellen Show" last year. ; and now, Hollywood has embraced Renly, which means that the PR person's work has paid off.
This is a high-level self-deprecating and a wise joke. In one sentence, it includes all Hollywood fans, but not everyone can understand it. Only a small number of people who really understand the meaning of the words exchanged glances with each other. , and then they all burst into laughter.
However, the most ironic moment came:
Even though most people didn't understand it, there was still a low laugh at the scene. Is it because this is... a joke of the nobles? Worried that you won't understand, and you will become mediocre and stupid? It's like chasing after those nobles and bosses.
The smile in Renly's eyes became meaningful, and Vanity Fair was indeed an interesting circle.
When you are outside, you can't see clearly; when you are in it, you can't help yourself; you can see clearly and thoroughly only if you can really put it on top.
Even Renly himself, he is now in it, and he can't see through it after all, but because of the family background in this life, he can see it a little bit more clearly, but he is still trapped in the game; he wants to reach the height of Woody Allen , he still needs to practice hard.
"Standing backstage just now, the staff communicated with me the string of speeches for today's award ceremony." It's not like an award ceremony, but more like a casual chat, less ceremony and more casual, but elegant English accent and harmony The calm attitude brings a sense of spring breeze, which makes people enjoy it. "They listed a series of praise words to describe the greatness of the actress."
"Passionate, sensitive, brave, sexual/sensual, complex, free, strong, interesting, tough, warm, and elegant." The words rolled down one by one, and they struck a wonderful rhythm, like a graceful and heroic song Psalm, moving, "But then, I gave up."

As soon as he turned around, the smile at the corner of Renly's mouth firmly grabbed the attention of all the audience, "because the language is too pale to describe the greatness of women; and because actresses don't need compliments from a man, they Their existence alone supports half the sky, so what we need to do is just keep quiet and enjoy their performances, that's enough."
"Clap clap", applause, thunderous applause, Jessica Chastain was the first to start cheering, so much so that Renly's introduction was interrupted, and the other actresses clapped their hands, In the most enthusiastic and sincere way, they expressed their inner excitement and joy.
so-called equality. It does not mean who is better than the other, but stands on an equal position and enjoys the rights that they deserve. For women, for blacks, for Asians, for patients, for gays, for every vulnerable minority.
Gentleman Renly stood there politely, without any special movement, just smiled at the applause in front of him, and then took the initiative to say, "The following are the five actresses who have won the nomination this year."
"Jessica Chastain, 'Hunt Ben**'."
"Quvenzanne-Wallis, 'Beast of the South'."
"Jennifer Lawrence, 'The Line of Happiness Behind the Clouds'."
"Naomi Watts, 'The Tsunami Miracle.'"
"Emmanuel-Riva, 'Love'."
After the five nominees were announced, Renly held up the envelope in his hand and opened the heavy golden envelope in front of everyone's attention - if someone told Renly that this envelope was almost the weight of a smartphone, He certainly wouldn't believe it, but the truth is, he just feels like he's holding an iPhone right now. Obviously, each year's envelopes are also specially made.
Without the nervousness he imagined, Ren Li opened the envelope directly, took out the white card inside, and lowered his gaze, a line of black letters came into view.
Is it Jennifer Lawrence? Or Jessica Chastain? Or is it Emmanuelle Riva
There is no doubt that this is the biggest suspense and the fiercest competition in the entire awards season. Now, the answer is in Renly's hands. He raised his head and met the dark eyes of the audience, the kind of nervousness and heat. Spreading slowly in the air, the invisible pressure was still swarming. At this moment, Renly truly felt the weight of the "Oscar", even far more than he felt when he won the award last year.
Some people have spent their whole lives chasing this trophy, not simply for a golden statuette, but to prove their sense of existence, and more importantly, to prove that their efforts and struggles have been affirmed accordingly.
Renly gave a small smile, "Jennifer Lawrence, 'The line of happiness behind the dark cloud'."
