Lu Yuan felt that the host was being long-winded because he was speaking Spanish on the stage which gave him a headache.

And it was a series of rapid, endless Spanish words like cannonballs.

Of course, in fact he is humorous. At least after he made a few self-deprecating remarks on the stage, the audience who understood what he was saying burst into laughter and applauded.

Lu Yuan was very confused. After he clapped his hands casually to fill the gap, he felt even more headache.

Deaf and dumb.

He felt that he was just that kind of person.

He thought how great it would be if he could be an all-round genius like the protagonist in the novel, who could conquer the world wherever he went and understand the language of every country he visited.

Would it be nice to have a system?

Doesn’t time travel always come with a system?

Why the hell don’t I even have the crappiest system?

Lu Yuan complained about himself in his heart.

Wang Jinxue saw that Lu Yuan was extremely confused and then explained to him the joke the host told on the stage.

This is a joke the host made to make fun of himself. It's humorous, but it's really not a joke.

After Lu Yuan gave two dry laughs to show his respect, he really didn't know where the humor was.

Maybe there is really a gap between Chinese and Western sense of humor.

After a series of performances in Spanish, it was time to announce today's winners.

The first award today is the Best Screenplay Award.

After the host made the announcement, the big screen backstage suddenly lit up, and then the names of the works and the screenwriters flashed on the stage...

Coming?

At this moment, everyone held their breath and stared at the big screen. It seemed that with the rendering of the music and the host's deliberate suspense, the tense atmosphere in the entire theater reached its peak.

"Jack, could it be your Lion?"

"Tony, maybe your Dawn?"

"I hope so..."

"What? I think I saw some strange photos."

“Ah, this…this photo…”

At this moment, several audience members in the back row began to whisper to each other.

Lu Yuan was extremely embarrassed.

Because he had never thought about submitting it to the judging panel to get a nomination, Lu Yuan just picked a photo at random and handed it over as a perfunctory document.

The other information is fine, but this photo is really speechless.

In the photo, Lu Yuan was wearing sportswear, showing a silly smile and making the most LOW hand gesture. Even Lu Yuan could see that his teeth were a little yellow when he looked carefully. This silly look was completely different from some other screenwriters who were dressed in suits and had profound connotations at first glance...

If it were normal, it would be fine, but now!

Damn it!

The more you compare, the more something seems wrong. He's just a typical fool who stands out from the crowd among a group of rich and handsome guys.

Isn't this a bad sign?

"You... didn't I ask you to take a good photo before?"

"I did."

"You, you took a photo like this?"

"Okay, okay, stop talking... It's an accident. This is really an accident."

“…”

Wang Jinxue was also speechless after seeing this photo.

Could this guy be any more of a jerk?

Putting such a photo in such an important occasion, doesn't it make people think you are unprofessional?

There's no way you'll win the Best Screenplay award like this.

Lu Yuan's face turned red, and he glanced at the others secretly, and found that everyone was pointing at his photo.

Even if Lu Yuan didn't understand, he knew that these people were definitely discussing the differences between his photos and the photos of other tall, rich and handsome men.

call!

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and slowly lowered his head, wishing he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Awkward, embarrassing...

This is so fucking embarrassing!

Damn it!

Couldn't I have been more serious before? Now, this shame has spread internationally.

Lu Yuan was upset...

but……

"Congratulations Lu Yuan!"

Just when Lu Yuan was feeling frustrated, criticizing and blaming himself, suddenly all the lights were on him.

The host looked at the name on the card and called out Lu Yuan's name in English.

Lu Yuan was startled and subconsciously looked up at the stage.

On the stage, the host was looking at him.

"What?"

"What? You actually won the award?" Wang Jinxue's originally indifferent look instantly turned into surprise after hearing the host say congratulations to Lu Yuan.

This has won awards?

this……

“Did I really win a prize?”

"Yeah! Go get your prize!"

"Oh! I went..."

"Wait, your tie is crooked."

"Okay, I'll sort it out!"

"Let me help you, don't move..."

"oh."

Under the camera, Wang Jinxue subconsciously helped Lu Yuan adjust his tie, and then excitedly watched Lu Yuan walk towards the stage step by step.

Under the camera, Lu Yuan's expression did not show much excitement.

He felt a little embarrassed and nervous.

He was the first to win the award, so he felt a little restrained.

This is normal.

Stay calm!

He exhaled again.

Walk steadily, don't be nervous, behave like a gentleman, walk slowly, and smile!

Take your time, take your time, don't be in a hurry, and don't be afraid of giving acceptance speeches. After all, this is not your first time attending this kind of award ceremony.

When Lu Yuan walked onto the stage, this self-comfort not only did not have any effect, but made Lu Yuan even more nervous.

Damn, so many people are looking at me.

"Hello, congratulations, Lu Yuan!"

"Thank you, thank you."

There was a translator when he received the award in Venice, but this time Lu Yuan found that there was no translator.

There is not even an official translation...

The language barrier was actually a fatal flaw, but although Lu Yuan had no idea what the host was saying, at least he could tell from his facial expressions and movements that he was congratulating him.

So he nodded, said a few words of thanks in English, and took the trophy from the award presenter.

"Dear Mr. Lu Yuan, do you have anything to say to everyone?" The host felt that there was something wrong with this Chinese man.

Other winners in previous years were so excited that their faces flushed and they stuttered when they spoke, but this Chinese winner looked very calm. No, it can't be said that he was calm. It seemed that he had a weird expression on his face.

And why are you staring at me? You should be looking at the audience below.

Wait, is there something wrong with my face?

The host kept smiling, but he still felt a little scared when he saw Lu Yuan staring at him.

"Ohhh, thank you, thank you!"

Lu Yuan continued to judge from the host's tone and gestures that the host wanted him to say something, so he walked to the microphone on the stage and coughed lightly...

In fact, he had already prepared his acceptance speech.

It's not difficult.

"Thank you all for your support. It was not easy for me to win this award. I spent a very long time writing this script. I even worked on it for a long time and suffered from insomnia for many days. Fortunately, I finally created this script. Here, I want to thank my dearest assistant director, Wei Pang... Mr. Wei Wuji, and..."

Not Spanish, and certainly not English?

Is this Chinese?

Everyone present felt a little strange when they saw this scene.

Basically, everyone who came on stage would say a few words in English. Even the previous winners spoke English unstandardly, but at least it was English. No one had ever spoken Chinese directly on stage like Lu Yuan did...

After all, few of the audience members below are Chinese, and Chinese people rarely win awards at such occasions, so wouldn't everyone feel weird if you spoke Chinese now?

Wang Jinxue, who was in the audience, was speechless after listening to Lu Yuan's acceptance speech. She even felt that Lu Yuan was not giving an acceptance speech on the stage but talking nonsense.

It’s not that what Lu Yuan said was bad. If you don’t know the inside story, Lu Yuan’s speech was indeed very good, with a little bit of inspiration and sadness in it.

But Wang Jinxue knew the inside story!

She thought of the scene when Lu Yuan handed her the script for the first time.

Crooked characters, typos that can be found at a glance, and some sentences that don’t quite flow…

No matter how you look at it, these things don't look like they were carefully crafted, right?

So when you say on stage how serious you are, isn't that pure bullshit?

…

"Lu Yuan actually gave his acceptance speech in Chinese in Spain. This is great!"

“I’m a fan!”

"Lu Yuan, it turns out that it was not easy for you to write this script!"

"You're talking nonsense, aren't you? Er Gouzi had no money, no director, no crew, and no one to help him. How easy do you think it would be for him?"

"That makes sense. Don't be fooled by how glorious he is in front of others. In fact, who knows how much he has suffered behind the scenes. He is indeed very talented, but how do you know that he has not paid behind the scenes for his talent? Maybe, he has paid things that you can't even imagine."

"That's right. After all, it's not easy for one person to start a company. It takes ten years to sharpen a sword! He must have suffered a lot!"

"I remember that before the movie was released, no theater chain was willing to show their movie. Oh, and isn't there a video online of Lu Yuan and Wei Wuji sitting on the steps below a large theater smoking and getting kicked out by the cleaning lady?"

"Really?"

"You can search, there should be some."

"Oh my god, there really is one. This is so sad."

"yes!"

“I’m a fan!”

"Me too. By the way, how many followers does he have on Weibo now?"

"One million and one hundred thousand."

"Fuck, wasn't it just over 800,000 the day before yesterday?"

“It’s different now!”

“It’s scary, it’s worth paying attention to.”

No matter what the people at the scene thought, the Chinese netizens who were watching the live broadcast were moved by Lu Yuan's acceptance speech.

Although Lu Yuan seemed to be talking nonsense when he was on the stage, netizens could not help but imagine the hardships he had experienced when he started his own business, the difficulties in getting his movie released, and the various difficulties and setbacks he encountered...

Unknowingly, they were infected by Lu Yuan!

Then, they heard Lu Yuan's song "Exaggeration"...

The lyrics of "Exaggeration" seemed unusually touching, as if they felt that this was Lu Yuan's true portrayal of his own experience, a true self-mockery...

Of course, they naturally don't know the truth.

You'll never know.

…

After finishing his speech, Lu Yuan received a round of applause.

Then Lu Yuan returned to his seat with the trophy. Before he could even get comfortable, the host began to announce the next award.

Best Photography Award!

A series of information and photos also popped up.

The information and photos of the other nominated films have changed, but Buried is still exactly the same, with just a few slightly changed shots...

"Best Cinematography Award, Buried Alive!"

The next moment, the screen behind froze again on the promotional poster of "Buried" and the photo of Lu Yuan making the scissor hand gesture.

The light shone on Lu Yuan again.

At this time, everyone looked towards Lu Yuan. All the directors and actors noticed this young Chinese man who had won two awards in a row...

This is the first time that I have won two awards in a row.

Wang Jinxue was stunned when she heard the host announce the winning film.

"Lu Yuan, you won another award..." She subconsciously pulled Lu Yuan.

"I won another award? Uh, is my tie crooked again?" Lu Yuan was also a little confused.

"It's not crooked this time..."

"Oh, so I went over there?"

"Okay, keep going."

“Ohhhh.”

Lu Yuan walked onto the stage in a daze under everyone's gaze. He then stood on the stage with the trophy and continued speaking in Chinese: "Thank you all for your support. It was not easy for me to receive this award. I spent a very long time on this film. I even asked the photographer to edit it for a long time. The photographer suffered from insomnia for many days. Fortunately, the film was finally completed. Here, I want to thank..."

Wang Jinxue covered her face.

Lu Yuan's acceptance speech and the acceptance speech just now...

Except for a few words, everything else is exactly the same.

…

"Oh my god, another award?"

"Haha, awesome! Lu Yuan might even set a record this time!"

"etc!"

"???"

“This acceptance speech…”

"this……"

"What does this full of plagiarism mean?"

"Er Gouzi, can't you come up with a better acceptance speech?"

"???"
