Chapter 299 Sweeping the Academy Awards

The audience was even more amazed.

"Amazing, Loki, the second person after Iron Man to win the grand prize without showing up..."

"This is the appearance. If no one comes, I will still give you the prize!"

"You're not right. What do you think would happen if Infernal Affairs wasn't the winner this year?"

"...Uh uh uh, not yet."

"Yes, the public's eyes are sharp. The film is of high quality and has a good reputation. If it weren't for the Academy Awards, it would be hard to explain."

"Loki was able to invite Director Guo to accept the award for him! What a great honor!"

"Guo Zhenqi has come to support us, what can I say? Maybe he really has something to worry about..."

It's no surprise that "Infernal Affairs" won this award. From what I've seen, there aren't many Chinese films that put so much effort into the story, and there aren't many scripts that reach this level...

Moreover, given the current situation this year, it is only natural for "Infernal Affairs" to win one or two awards.

The award ceremony continued, and the Best Actress award went to an art film directed by a great director. Although the box office was not ideal, the story was profound and the acting was impeccable.

"Next we're awarding the Best Actor of the Year."

The expressions of the award presenter and the five candidates can be seen on the big screen.

Everyone seemed calm, but tension and anxiety could be seen in their eyes and in the details.

You know, being recognized by mainstream awards can be said to be the most important highlight in a filmmaker’s life!

Two of the five are Zhang Yize and Chu Yongren from "Infernal Affairs".

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

It’s great to have come this far; it’s impossible for everything to be perfect.

If one of them can win the award, it will be a credit to the drama "Infernal Affairs" and their own acting career.

If we fail, that’s no problem. The fact that two of us were shortlisted is already a great achievement.

“The winner is…”

"Zhang Yize!"

The King of Singers wins the title of Best Actor again!

The whole audience cheered and roared, it was well deserved!

When Zhang Yize heard his name, he stood up in surprise.

But at the same time, he looked at his friend with loss.

Allen Chu, on the other hand, remained calm. He had already won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Academy Awards once, and he felt very satisfied to be able to participate in a project worth 2 billion yuan.

I didn't win the award, I can only say it was fate.

He was also happy for Zhang Yize that his friend could win.

Just as the entire audience, including Allen Chu, was applauding Zhang Yize, the host paused and continued, “Chu Yongren!”

“!!!”

"Double yolk egg!"

"Both of them?!"

"Two Best Actor winners! Absolutely amazing!"

Everyone at the scene opened their mouths in disbelief. This was the first time in the history of the Academy Awards.

And two male protagonists in the same movie!

This is the first time in my lifetime!

The scene was boiling!

After the host made the announcement, he began to vividly recount the interesting stories of the judges amid thunderous applause and screams.

"The two actors' rivalry in 'Infernal Affairs' was incredibly brilliant, and it posed a real challenge to our judging panel. They were both equally matched, each with their own strengths. So who should win this award?"

In the audience, the two movie stars hugged each other excitedly. This was the greatest encouragement for them and also the best result.

"Infernal Affairs" is a drama with two male protagonists. Chen Yongren seems to be on the side of justice and the protagonist, but he was destined to be sacrificed from the beginning.

In the second half, Zhang Yize vividly expressed the complex emotions of good and evil in his heart. The ending actually depends on him. It is really difficult to choose who wins and who loses between them.

Both the media and the audience were very excited.

This is the first time in more than ten years since the establishment of the Academy Awards that there has been a double yolk!

Big news!

Before the award ceremony was over, the online news had already started to make headlines.

[A Hong Kong Film Awards wins a double yolk! Best Actor goes to "Infernal Affairs"!]

[Zhang Yize and Chu Yongren were both deified! ]

[The Best Actor award winners at the Hong Kong Film Awards are announced: Zhang Yize and Chu Yongren win Best Actor! ]

["Infernal Affairs" wins two Academy Award winners!]

[Screenwriter Rocky was absent from the Hong Kong Film Awards, and Guo Zhenqi accepted the award on his behalf!]

“Awesome!”

"I said I won't accept that the Best Actor award isn't for these two!"

"It's worthy of being called 'Infernal Affairs'! It's still killing the Academy Awards!"

The outside world was also in an uproar, and even ordinary people who have never paid attention to the entertainment industry knew the names of these two people and this year's hit movie "Infernal Affairs".

The on-site award ceremony continues.

"Next is the award for Best Supporting Actor!"

"The winner is:! Teacher Zhang Xuejun's Han Chen, also from 'Infernal Affairs'!"

“!!!”

"Damn, that's the fourth one, this isn't scientific!"

"Including the double yolk, 'Infernal Affairs' has won its fourth Academy Award!"

"So what's considered scientific? Is it appropriate for others to take it?"

"It seems...I can't compare to Teacher Zhang."

"The only one who can compete with Zhang Xuejun is Zhao Zhiqi, and they are from the same crew..."

"Uh uh uh, who else but me can play Infernal Affairs?"

Zhang Xuejun deserves this award, and it has nothing to do with his popularity.

Looking at his breakthroughs in the past two years, I'm afraid that an actor with good acting skills would never be able to achieve this in his entire life. He has taken on different types of roles, and he has taken on every one of them.

"Teacher Zhang Xuejun's background is in serious drama, and his image of a man of unwavering integrity and righteousness is deeply rooted in people's hearts. From "Ode to the Swordsman" to "Buried Alive," to Ghost Leg Seven, and finally to the gangster boss Han Chen, each time he's made a fresh breakthrough, each time stunning. His diverse acting skills are so captivating that netizens jokingly call his acting as if he'd had plastic surgery!"

The audience almost died of laughter listening to this segment.

But there's really no way to refute it. A movie like "Buried" could easily fail if it was a little more or a little more restrained. Do you think the Cannes awards are just for novelty?

Teacher Zhang’s acting is completely textbook-level. He can play any role well and every role he plays is impressive.

"I'm very grateful to the Academy Awards committee for their recognition and the audience for their support of our film. I also want to thank our director Wu Kong and screenwriter Luo Ji. Without you, there would be no Infernal Affairs, and there would be no Zhang Xuejun!"

Zhang Xuejun didn't say much, but his eyes were already filled with tears.

The point of his words was very clear. Goku and Loki, who wouldn't want to get to know and connect with these two?

He is almost 50 years old and has been active in the entertainment industry for so many years. He did not expect that he would have a second spring in his career at the age of retirement, which would give him the opportunity to see a broader world and gain more recognition.

The fact that "Infernal Affairs" won four trophies is already impressive.

And there are two heavyweight awards behind it, so everyone below knows what's going on.

Based on the 2 billion box office and 9.7 rating of "Infernal Affairs", at least one of the Best Director and Best Film awards should be reserved for it. Other films cannot compare at all.

But these five trophies have never been in the history of the Academy Awards, which is a bit scary!

"Best Director: !Wukong!"

“!!!”

"Look, look, two movies a year, one for 1.2 billion and one for 2 billion, no one else can keep up!"

Amidst the cheers and anticipation, the one who stood up was still Director Guo.

"I'm the one who disappointed everyone. Don't be disappointed. Are you tired of seeing my old face? I only hear the laughter of the new, but not the tears of the old."

Then he pretended to be hurt.
