Chapter 104 Meow Meow Meow Meow
This year's Oscars are not as intense as in previous years.
This is also related to the quality of this year's films. Many veteran actors did not participate in the award competition this time. It can be said that this is a competition for the new generation on the world stage.
But even so, when the camera moved to Fang Huai, it still shocked many people.
The hot band chose two very exciting songs, and with the stage effect, they turned the Dolby Theater into a concert scene.The camera, on the other hand, captures the audience's reactions at random.The handsome teenager whistled along with the melody and narrowed his eyes with a smile, like a high school boy who skipped class to peek at the awards ceremony.
He is young enough to be the son of many people, and who would have guessed that such a kid was nominated for this year's statuette.
Then, the lights dimmed, and the video clips of all the shortlisted films of this year began to play on the big screen.
This year is still a typical Hollywood style. In the first second, the camera focused on Superman’s pupils, and then zoomed out. It punched the wall with a fist, and the cracks spread.
The camera began to change, multiple videos were seamlessly connected together, and Dana's voice trembled slightly in the wind:
"What kind of world are we in, war, poverty... Can you hear that, Ted?"
"Hey, look at me, I want you all to see, I'm a black man living in San Francisco."
"They're always talking about winning, why can't we just -- I mean, stop the war from happening? Nobody wins any war."
The screens flashed one by one, followed by half a second of darkness.
Then, the boy's voice sounded:
"We are in this world, it has endless wars, it has famine and pollution, gays and people of color, women are discriminated against... And then? Do you love it?"
His pupils were out of focus, and he slowly squatted down holding his guide stick.His head was wrapped in gauze, and his eyes were red.
Behind him is the blue sky of Los Angeles, and the birds with snow-white wings spread their wings and fly into the distance.The boy closed his eyes, and picked up a platycodon flower that had been stepped on from the ground. When he closed his eyes, the last trace of haze in the sky was covered by the sun.
"I love."
he said softly.
The water drops into the sea, and the picture and sound go blank at the same time.
At this second when everyone was stunned and stunned, the camera zoomed out and took a panoramic view of Los Angeles.Then, the drumbeat of the accompaniment began to speed up, and the switching speed of the screen also accelerated. The violin joined the performance, raising the accumulated emotions a little bit.
The scene cuts to two girls picking up instruments from the trash, trying to play, the empty studio, and then the boxer turning away in the market.
"Do you like music?"
"Never forget dreams and love. Life sucks, but it's also romantic. Hey, let me write a song for you. What do you want to hear?"
"You have to keep moving forward, don't be a coward."
The sound of the violin finally reached its peak, and all the suppressed emotions gushed out.Many voices, different languages, and the screens switch back and forth, saying the same sentence:
"Life sucks, but...
"I love you."
The platycodon flowers blown by the wind flew towards the sky, the white doves spread their wings, the tide surged, and the blue sky spread infinitely above the earth.
Finally, the subtitles are played.
The atmosphere of the audience was completely ignited by the previous hot music and this clip. Everyone was very excited and looked forward to the next award presentation.
"Welcome to the 101st Academy Awards!" The host held the microphone and walked onto the ring stage of the Dolby Theater.
This year's hostess Jenny is also very young, but her business level is not bad at all.After she and the male host played tricks skillfully, they began to introduce today's entries and guests.When introducing "The Unknown Song", the camera first scanned the entire crew, captured Xu Tuanyuan's smile, and then intentionally gave Fang Huai a close-up.
"Hey, Fang Huai, look at the camera." Next to him was Qiao An, who used to film together, bumping Fang Huai with his shoulder.
Joan was lucky. This was his eighth year of acting. During his travels in China, he met a girl who he wanted to spend his whole life with. The next day, he received the news that he was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
Fang Huai was originally looking at the stage seriously, only then realized that he was in the mirror, he seemed to be in a daze, his brows subconsciously raised.Like a student who was caught distracted in class, he reached out hesitantly and compared his mind to the camera.
[socute! ! ! 】
[I was hit, so handsome, and the image in the movie is quite different. 】
[I saw a photo of him taking off his suit and putting it on Dana, on Twitter. 】
[Accompanying the runners, just come to rub the red carpet, and haven't rubbed it yet. 】
Of course, there are also cynicism, which is indispensable no matter what platform it is on.
Next, the awards ceremony officially began.
Xu Tuanyuan came here this time with high expectations, and the judging team was very generous - not long after the opening, the Best Supporting Actor Award was awarded to Qiao An from "Unknown Song".In addition, the best sound editing is also "Untitled Song".
Joan almost cried when he stood up. He almost never thought about the possibility of winning the award. He was very happy to be nominated.
He hugged his girlfriend vigorously, and then Fang Huai and Xu Dao came onto the stage. When he was giving his testimonials, he was too excited to continue several times, and the audience responded with encouraging and kind applause.
When he talked about his mental journey, the mood of the domestic audience became more solemn.
Although it didn't say that Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor cannot be awarded to the same film... However, from the perspective of overall balance, the probability seems a bit small.Even if "Untitled Song" is really excellent, it is impossible for the jury to let it win all the heavyweight awards, that would be too unfair to other participating films.
Therefore, the more awards "Unknown Song" won in the early stage, the lower the chance of Fang Huai winning the best actor.
[After all, there are only a small number of people who can win the award for the first nomination. It is better for everyone to calm down. 】
[I also think that the pressure is not too great, the nomination is good. 】
[I'm curious, why is it that in this era, same-sex marriages are still not allowed in China? 】
【…】
Fang Huai looked down at his phone, Ye Yuyuan didn't reply to his text message, but Fang Huai knew he was looking - he would definitely read it.
It made him feel hopeful and nervous.
The process is about halfway through, and the next awards will be more important than one.Best Foreign Language Film, Best Director...and Best Actor.
Fang Huai put down the phone and stopped looking at it. He also told himself to calm down.
The capital of China.
The people sitting at the top looked down at the documents, and communicated with each other for a moment with solemn expressions. One of them asked:
"reason?"
Ye Yuyuan sat in his seat calmly, the lawyer flipped through a page of files, and said cautiously:
"According to relevant cases in other countries..."
Everyone listened noncommittally. Although they were discussing such a matter, few people were overly emotional.Ye Yuyuan was extremely calm, although in the eyes of many people, his behavior was caused by being dazed.
Those who were allowed to observe in the back row tensed their backs, and the clerk was still recording.
Time dragged on.
It was supposed to end at 12:30, but it was already [-]:[-], but the process was only halfway through, and the attitude of the above was the most ambiguous.
Ye Yuyuan rubbed the jade ring with his thumb. This was his action when he was a little anxious. The Oscar live recording was playing in the tiny bluetooth headset, and it was time for the awarding of the Best Foreign Language Film.
There is not much time left, and the longer the delay, the lower the success rate.
Ye Yuyuan was silent for a moment, tapped his index finger on the edge of the table, and whispered to the lawyer:
"Speed up the process and go directly to the questioning session."
"Best director of this year's Oscars - Mr. Xu Tuanyuan!"
Xu Tuanyuan opened his eyes slightly in surprise, then exchanged a kiss with his wife and walked onto the stage.After all, he is a frequent visitor to Oscar, so he didn't lose his composure like Joan, but he was also very happy.
Xu Tuanyuan actually won a lot of awards in the previous Oscars, but this is indeed the first time that he has won the highest recognition in the industry. No one would be unhappy.
But Xu Tuanyuan still hoped that "The Unknown Song" could win the best picture or be the best actor, and he hoped that Fang Huai would be recognized even more.His hard work and dedication should not be underestimated or buried for any reason.
The best director is a very late award, and it won't be long before it's the turn of the top Oscar.
Best Actor.
This Oscar winner was awarded to a black actress from South America. It is a film related to women's equal rights, which is very rare in history.The female star came off the stage wiping her tears, and then, the best actor was awarded.
The classic clips of the nominated films begin to play.
"Jony Aldotto, Sky Mirror."
A knight in silver armor walked on the salt lake. The gray-blue sky was reflected on the mirror-like surface of the lake. He was talking softly with the people around him, and raised his gun after a while.
"Morik J. Jess, Strawberry."
The peddler's face was exposed under the straw hat. His face was covered with wind, frost and wrinkles, and he held out a handful of strawberries from the grass stalk.His intelligence is not normal, his speech is slow and vague, and he takes his son to make a living alone:
"I'm going to sell them to... Rick, move on."
He bared his front teeth and smiled, and pressed down his straw hat:
"Don't be a coward."
In just half a minute of footage, it's not even an earth-shattering scene, but the acting is superb.The acting is good enough to a certain extent, but in fact it is not that heavy of craftsmanship, and it is not exaggerated, but every inch of detail is extremely appropriate and natural, moving people with the most plain emotions.
Fang Huai has also seen this movie before, and I have to say that it is really a very good movie, and the hard work of the actors will only be more or less.
He looked at the screen seriously.
He will not be so arrogant that he underestimates his opponents, nor will he belittle himself.
But domestic audiences don't think so. "Strawberry" and "Untitled Song" have not been screened in China, and most people have not seen them.As soon as this clip came out, I immediately felt that Fang Huai was completely out of action.
[Strength crushing is what it means...]
[Morik has accompanied him three times, it's time to give him a name. 】
[I've watched two films, and it's hard to say, but it's true that Fang Huai's side has bad luck.The cores of the two films have collided, and one has to be chosen, and it is probably Morik's. 】
[The phrase 'go forward, don't be a coward' is really my time, the annual kumquat. 】
Then clips of the other two nominated actors were played.
The entire shot is very fond of Morik, and people can't help but guess whether this also represents the attitude of the program team.Morik looked very gentle, looked at the screen seriously, and then smiled, which was interpreted by many people as a sure thing.
He is a sensible actor, knowing that Oscars rarely consider such things as 'qualification' and 'sentiment'.
An upset isn't out of the question.
Moreover, he has watched the movie "Untitled Song"... It is surprising that as an actor, he also cried at the end. It has been a long time since he has had such strong emotional fluctuations because of a movie. The feeling will be much lighter than that of laymen, because it will be disassembled and analyzed subconsciously.
Capital, 12:30 noon.
People in the spectator seats were discussing, while the person sitting in the highest position wore glasses and carefully read all the documents one by one.
This is a very well-prepared document, and almost no loopholes can be found.But their attitudes are also very ambiguous. After all, this matter is too difficult from any angle.
They very much want to use every method in the past-not expressing their position, and each take a step back to expose this matter.
Ye Yuyuan looked at everyone's faces in silence, clasped his fingers together, and the shape of the jade ring was imprinted in his palm. This was something he never planned to let go of in his life.
Rarely in his life had he been so tense.
The real-time radio of the Oscar broadcast came from the tiny bluetooth headset, and he could hear Fang Huai's voice reciting the lines, and every word was irresistible.
this is the last time.
If he failed this time and was rejected, he didn't know how long it would take until the next suitable time, and he was already unwilling to wait.
At the same time, outside the majestic building were people sitting in meditation, and rainbow flags were flying under the blue sky.
There were many more who could not make it to the scene.
They are holding mobile phones in the office, between classrooms, in messy rental houses or in crowded subway stations.Lovers shook hands with each other, and some parents and children sat silently at home, and everyone was quietly waiting for a result.
This furnace of boiling water has been boiling for too long, and all the scorched bubbles are waiting to be free.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the endless blue sky.
"Sorry—" Director Li, who was sitting directly in front of Ye Yuyuan, let out a long breath, and finally said, "We will carefully consider everyone's opinions, but this matter is of great importance, maybe..."
The auditorium was silent, and some people's faces turned gray.
The bubbles that were halfway through the boiling crackled and burst, and all of them were shattered little by little.
In the silence.
"I object."
The silent man stood up from the table.
His back was straight, cold and serious, but when he looked at the other side, it made people feel an overly strong aura, boiling hot and burning upwards.
He stared straight at everyone across from him, and the eyes of those who came into contact with him couldn't help but flinch.
"Are you sure," he asked word by word, quietly, "are you going to stand on the opposite side of history?"
same second.
On Weibo hot searches, three topic tags exploded at the same time.The first one is #《无名之歌》Oscar#, the second one is #同性可婚法应评评#, and the third one is #我是假聚#.
Ye Yuyuan's Weibo, which rarely spoke, finally posted another one after three months.
"Ye Yuyuan v:
Love is our innate instinct, and love is a gift from the world. "
This Weibo has the tag of #同性可婚法实验评论Result#, riding on the trend of recent current affairs, climbing to the top of the hot search list all the way.
Someone tweeted about his own gay man.
"The weather is fine today, and I want to marry you."
"I don't want to immigrate. I want to declare you as my wife as me, a Chinese citizen."
"He is my husband and I am his husband, there is no contradiction."
"I want to introduce you to my parents and friends, I want to marry you, and I want the rights that heterosexuals can have."
In the ptah headquarters, many people stopped their work and clicked on the news refresh, but no one restrained them today.
The boiling water is still heating up, and it becomes hotter and hotter step by step in the huge furnace called the city, looking for a crack to burst out, bringing this blazing rainstorm after a long drought to the world.
at the same time.
Los Angeles, Dolby Theater.
Several clips nominated for best actor flashed one by one. Except for the surprise that Morik gave everyone at the beginning, everyone's performance was remarkable.After all, this is an Oscar, and everyone was shortlisted after competing with countless peers.
Not to mention Morik, many people even began to think that Fang Huai was no match for any one of them.
The camera switched to Fang Huai, and everyone could see his nervousness.The young man's fingers were clasped together, and the sapphire cufflinks were taken off and folded in his palm, his knuckles turned white.
The last one played was the clip of the leading actor Fang Huai in "The Unknown Song".
Unexpectedly, the most widely circulated fragments of "Untitled Song" were not selected.
Instead, the protagonist was forcefully taken to the local church for confession by his parents, forcing him to bow his head and kneel down, saying the phrase 'I am gay, I am guilty'.Christianity does not recognize homosexuality.
The boy was wearing a thin white shirt, and his guide stick was dropped by his knees. His face was bruised and blue from his father's beating.The sky light shines through the stained glass windows from the high dome, the voice of the choir is far away, and God looks down on all beings with compassion.
Homosexuality is sinful, dirty, evil and they want to give him 'salvation', save him from the abyss of endless suffering, and no one ever asks what he means.
"Say, you're gay, you're guilty."
The middle-aged man stood where he was, looking at him with vacant eyes: "—I'm doing this for your own good."
"I am..." The boy's voice was very slow, his eyes were out of focus, and the corners of his lips were pursed, "Gay."
He followed the voice and saw his father's direction. There was a little smile in his eyes, and the gray sky was shining:
"I'm not guilty."
He said.
This smile seemed to be interpreted as a mockery. His mother slapped him tremblingly, and said with red eyes, "You are guilty, beast, disgusting."
The boy lowered his head again.
"I'm gay, and I'm not guilty," he said stubbornly.
The sun, the moon and the stars alternate, people in the confessional come and go, he is forced to kneel, but his back is straight from beginning to end, like a tree that cannot be broken by any storm, born of raging fire, repeating the process from birth to death, struggling grow toward light.
For 24 hours, he repeated this sentence thousands of times until he lost consciousness in shock.
- "I'm gay and I'm not guilty."
The screen faded, and the audience was silent.
Even the endless discussion came to a halt at this moment.
... shocking.
Apart from these two words, it is difficult to have words to accurately describe the feeling this passage brings to people.
【Oh My God. 】
【I'm desperate to watch this movie now...】
【Is it possible to expect a miracle? 】
Morik was silent for a moment, then led the clapping.He suddenly realized what he was facing, a very strong premonition... He ran with him three times, this time he came with great expectations, but there are always times when he has to admit defeat.
The applause joined together.Qiao An gave Fang Huai an encouraging hug amidst the applause, and Xu Tuanyuan also gave her a look of "no matter what the result, keep calm".The screen was completely black, the host walked onto the stage with the envelope, and the camera began to switch back and forth between the five nominees.
Fang Huai lowered his head, pressed the Bluetooth headset, subconsciously held his breath.His soul seemed to be thrown into the air, and he felt dizzy with a sense of lack of oxygen.
The hostess inhaled lightly and opened the envelope.
Time became very slow at this second, so slow that it was almost still, and it was like the blank sound of the second before the boiling water gushed out.The lights of Los Angeles and the scene of the Dolby Theater were imprinted in Fang Huai's pupils, and all the pages were blown away at the same time, and then the host's fingers unfolded the envelope little by little——
She opened the envelope, first her pupils grew slightly, and she covered her mouth in surprise.She looked up at the camera, and then at the audience, finally a smile emerged from the corners of her brows and lips.
The hostess moved her lips and spit out a few words.
The whole world is like a slow motion that has been deliberately slowed down. Joan turned around to look at him exaggeratedly, Morik and Xu Tuanyuan raised their wrists beside them, and——
There was a crackling sound in the bluetooth headset.
Fang Huai, the most important person in his life, had a hoarse voice, and the background sound was the wind and mottled tree shadows in the capital in September.
他 说:
"Huaihuai, you are my pride."
The author has something to say: the final chapter will be aired in the early hours of tonight~
