The wind started to blow.
Although it is spring, the wind near dusk still has a hint of brightness.
Pabotson stared at Lu Yuan who was slowly walking towards him.
His eyes flashed with a myriad of emotions.
Similarly, some reporters who had some concerns suddenly brightened up their eyes after seeing the two people getting closer, and immediately focused all their attention on Lu Yuan.
The story of Pablo and Lu Yuan was indeed worthy of great hype for these reporters.
after all……
Previous news continued to expose the various things that happened after Pablo took away "Star Wars", and also exposed the various frictions between Lu Yuan and Xu Hong in China.
They felt that this time, they could see a spark.
When Lu Yuan walked next to Pabotson, Pabotson's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"You're going to be a loser at the Oscars tonight, and you're going to watch me walk up to the stage step by step."
When Lu Yuan and Pabotson passed by each other, Pabotson suddenly lowered his head slightly and said this.
Although this sentence could not be heard by the noisy reporters and fans not far away, Pabotson was sure that Lu Yuan could hear it as long as he was not deaf.
After all, they were so close, and his voice was not soft.
After saying this, he quietly looked at Lu Yuan's expression as he passed by.
but……
What made him feel sorry was that Lu Yuan never even looked at him from beginning to end.
It's as if he doesn't exist.
Pabotson suddenly became extremely angry, and even felt extremely irritable in his blood, so irritable that he wanted to go crazy.
This person!
What does he take me for?
Do you really think I don't exist?
What's the meaning!
At this moment...
After taking two steps, Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stopped.
Then he turned and looked at Pablo Son.
"Well, congratulations in advance, Mr. Future Movie King. When you step onto the stage, I will applaud you enthusiastically."
Lu Yuan laughed, a very honest and simple laugh.
When the reporters saw his expression, everyone was stunned.
The situation at this moment feels extremely strange.
Looking at the expressions of the two people, it seems that there is not much tension between them. However, the atmosphere between them does feel full of tension.
Pablo also suddenly smiled.
He looked very happy, but the anger in his heart was growing stronger.
He had hoped to see Lu Yuan's angry expression. The angrier Lu Yuan was, the happier he would be. After all, it was fun to irritate someone.
but……
Not only was Lu Yuan not angry, but he smiled in a way that made Pablo very uncomfortable.
Congratulations in advance?
The future best actor?
Enthusiastic applause?
Especially his eyes.
What's wrong with the look in his eyes? Is he looking at a child who hasn't grown up? What do you mean? Is he looking down on me?
“…”
Pabotson's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say something.
But then, he saw Lu Yuan looking at Annie behind him.
"Miss Annie, let's go."
"Yeah, okay!"
In the sunshine, Pablo watched Annie holding Lu Yuan's hand, and then the two of them walked onto the red carpet amid the jealousy of most male stars.
Countless reporters rushed towards the two of them.
Pablo stood there feeling like a fool.
Endless anger and humiliation rose in Pabotson's heart. If it wasn't in public at this moment, he would even want to rush over and beat Lu Yuan up.
pity……
Now he can't do anything.
Not only could he not get angry, he could only put on a hypocritical, gentlemanly smile and watch Lu Yuan's back walk into the theater step by step.
Crying with laughter.
The most painful.
Smiling and angry.
most……
The most fucking shit!
The reporters looked at Annie, then at Pablo and Lu Yuan...
Although Pabotson and Lu Yuan did not clash on the red carpet as they had imagined, the atmosphere was becoming more and more unusual.
"Shocked...what story did Pabotson and Lu Yuan have to tell?"
"Annier did not accept Pabotson's invitation, but joined Lu Yuan's camp..."
"Pabloson, lost! Lost at the very beginning?"
"Will Pabloson win or lose in the battle for best actor?"
“…”
They even feel that every time a title comes out, they have a sense of excitement.
Many headlines are echoing in the minds of these reporters.
…
"Mr. Lu Yuan, long time no see."
"Yeah, long time no see."
"How are you doing lately?"
"Not bad, thank you for your concern, Mr. Allen."
"come on."
"Um."
"Are you confident?"
"No……"
"Hahaha, come on, um, Mr. Pablo, hello..."
“…”
Lu Yuan's position in Oscar is not bad.
On the contrary, the location is not bad, right in the front center, and it is quite conspicuous.
However, his position was very quiet, unlike Pablo and the others who were surrounded by various people from Hollywood...
Alan and Lu Yuan from Columbia Company greeted each other symbolically and then walked over to greet Pablo.
Jester and Edward were also surrounded by countless people.
The atmosphere was very warm, and the two of them couldn't say hello to Lu Yuan...
After seeing all this, Pabotson's face was filled with a huge smile, and he subconsciously glanced at the lonely Lu Yuan.
There was a glimmer of pride in his eyes.
In China, you may be your home turf, but in Hollywood, you are basically an outsider.
In fact...
Lu Yuan’s performance in “The Legend of 1900” is quite impressive.
but……
The more fierce they are, the more annoying they are.
Although many Hollywood stars wanted to say hello to Lu Yuan, when they entered the venue, they were more or less hinted by people from the company that they were prohibited from contacting Lu Yuan.
To some extent, Lu Yuan is really unwelcome in such occasions.
right.
Except for Cobia, which was relatively close to Lu Yuan, some other big Hollywood companies were intentionally or unintentionally isolating Lu Yuan.
Some people even stared at Lu Yuan, expecting him to greet others enthusiastically, but then they would be met with an awkward situation where they were ignored...
but.
Unfortunately, Lu Yuan did not have any dissatisfaction. Instead, he sat in his seat and yawned comfortably.
There is no awkward feeling of being isolated at all, but...
Looks like he's adapting well.
Everyone thought that Lu Yuan was pretending and was trying hard to save face and not lose face.
But in fact, Lu Yuan was really comfortable.
He doesn't like dealing with these strangers. I'll be happy if you ignore me.
Um……
At least it doesn't have to be so troublesome, right?
…
The atmosphere at the Oscars was boisterous.
The waves of heat were just as exciting as the previous ones.
but……
However, a few people felt that this year's Oscars was filled with a sense of the unusual.
Winter, the director of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", is one of them.
"The Magic Apprentice" received quite a few nominations this time, with a total of four nominations, including Best Director, Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress...
Of course, Winter wasn't feeling excited.
because……
He had a bad feeling.
Although this Chinese man in the distance seemed silent and seemed to be isolated by many Hollywood companies and was regarded as a thorn in the eyes of so many companies, his existence made Winter very nervous.
When he first stepped into the venue, the light shining on him made Winter feel uncomfortable.
The light on him seemed brighter than on the others.
The number of nominations received by "The Legend of 1900" is really terrifying.
Although, he also felt that Lu Yuan's chances of getting a nomination for Best Actor were not very high, and he also felt that Chinese people had never been nominated for Best Actor, but...
Many times, there is always an element of instability in this world.
This instability is very depressing.
Until the result comes, everything is empty.
…
“Has it started yet?”
"here we go!"
"show me!"
"Mr. Xu, didn't you say you didn't want to watch it..."
"I want to see it now."
"good."
Shen Lianjie handed the notebook to Xu Hong.
On the "Tiger" live broadcast platform.
Xu Hong stared at the Oscars.
Every time the camera turned to Lu Yuan, Xu Hong's expression would become more uncomfortable.
However, after seeing that Lu Yuan was isolated and there were not as many people coming and going around him as other people, he felt very happy!
Very happy!
In short, the worse Lu Yuan's experience was, the more pleasure he felt in revenge.
Moreover, when he thought about the history of the Oscar for Best Actor, he felt at ease.
The Oscar for Best Actor has never been given to a Chinese!
This time, it’s even more impossible for you to get it!
unless!
Pie in the sky!
However, Shen Lianjie next to him had a complicated expression.
He always felt that the place where Lu Yuan was sitting was covered with dark clouds, and there was an extremely oppressive feeling.
…
"Wow! Bob! Seeing so many people down there, do you want to say anything?"
"What? Haha, God, so many people are here again, I'm so excited..."
"Hahaha."
"So today..."
“…”
About an hour later.
The lights in the seats in the venue gradually dimmed, while the lights on the stage lit up.
As the music sounded, the two tall hosts started to make jokes on the stage, occasionally bringing out waves of knowing smiles from the audience.
for example……
They have the most nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actor, and Barrett is the one to win.
Barrett is the leading actor in "Rush Hour" which was released last year. Although "Rush Hour" sounds like a war film, it is actually an out-and-out art film, and the box office is actually quite good.
Of course, what attracted everyone's attention was not the movie, but the runner-up Barrett.
Why?
Ten years ago, when the young Barrett won the Best Actor nomination award, he came in with an excited smile on his face.
He felt it was an honor.
but……
Ten years later...
Byleth's smile gradually turned into a wry smile.
Every year, he has never missed the Oscars, but every year, he has never won a formal award.
Running with me for ten years.
This experience is really not very good.
When the camera was turned to Beret, the bearded Beret could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and could only let them tease him.
Of course, the atmosphere is still relaxed and joyful...
After a while of nonsense and jokes, the first award appeared amidst waves of jokes.
"Bob, do you want to create some suspense? After all, this is the first prize!"
"Haha, what do you think?"
"I think, well, everyone please take a look at the winners of the nomination awards!"
"Haha, good! Everyone, follow, and look at the big screen. The winner of the Best Screenwriter Award is... Mr. Lu Yuan..."
"boom!"
Waves of dry ice special effects blasted out.
but……
No applause.
What?
Lu Yuan won the award?
Report it now?
Why don't you follow the process?
Aren’t the nominations announced first?
How can you just...
Everyone was puzzled, but suddenly Bob smiled strangely again.
"Is it Miss Karin, or is it Brother Carnes?"
"Sorry, the nomination winner I mentioned is not the official winner. I haven't even opened the envelope yet. Why are you so nervous?"
“…”
“…”
When everyone saw several nominees displayed on the big screen, they felt mixed emotions.
This is so...
It really messes with people's mentality.
…
“Puff!”
Xu Hong burst out laughing instantly.
When he saw the host read out Lu Yuan's name, he actually felt a little bit shitty and felt very unhappy.
Afterwards, when the host announced that he was reading out the nominees for the award, Xu Hong immediately wanted to curse.
Can you please stop keeping me in suspense?
I almost thought Lu Yuan was nominated for Best Screenplay again!
Why again?
Because Lu Yuan also won the award last year.
Just when Xu Hong took a sip of water and was about to read on...
Sudden……
"Congratulations to Mr. Lu Yuan for winning the Best Screenplay Award again! "The Legend of 1900", awesome!"
"puff!"
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Xu Hong choked.
Then he stared at the host Bob who opened the envelope...
Then, he saw in the camera that Lu Yuan adjusted his clothes and smiled happily.
…
"Actually...thank you for giving me this opportunity to stand on the stage..."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
"Well, here, we have to thank our 'remote' team the most. It is not easy to win this award. They have all worked very hard and tried their best to make the movie well..."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Pabloson... maybe you don't want me to win the award, but I did... I hope you can applaud me. After all, I promised you that if you win the Best Actor award, I will sincerely applaud you and stand up..."
"I also hope you can stand up and applaud me."
“…”
“…”
"???"
Lu Yuan was stared at by everyone with wide eyes.
After finishing his speech, he suddenly looked at Pablo Schwartz.
Pabloson didn't smile at all.
Just looking at Lu Yuan.
His face gradually turned red.
But he still smiled in front of the camera.
Some people are smiling but their eyes are not smiling.
"Congratulations! Congratulations to you!"
He applauded, but...
He doesn't look very gentlemanly.
