Chapter 452: Taking the Stage in Person
Soon, it was time for the Best Director Award.
Director Wan once again stood on the podium.
It's no surprise that he won this award, as he was nominated for two films, Journey to the West and Lady Daisy.
Because both films were originally the favorites for Best Picture.
"Oh, we won another award. As usual, I would like to thank the audience, judges, staff, and of course, the most important, the investors! God, for the sake of this award and the box office, I hope you will not hesitate next time you invest!"
As we all know, "Journey to the West" was released this year after nearly three years of filming.
This is certainly because special effects production takes time, but the interruption of the capital chain is also an important reason.
There is no way around it; every frame of "Journey to the West" is a waste of money.
Compared with Director Wan’s expectation of 300 million, it has doubled!
The money is being spent more and more, but there is no return in sight. Even if the investors have confidence in Director Wan, they are unwilling to be taken advantage of.
Later, this money was subsidized by Ruan Tang.
Of course, the huge success of "Journey to the West" once again proved Ruan Tang's investment vision, and also made the investors who had not added funds before regret it.
After all, the cake is only so big, and if there is one more person sharing it, they will have one less bite.
This special allocation is particularly large, accounting for almost half of the total investment!
Director Wan's speech was humorous and immediately caused laughter from the audience.
Next up is the Best Actor award ceremony.
The male stars in the audience were all very nervous.
The big screen on site played back highlights of the male stars nominated this time.
The host slowly said, "The judges told me that this was the most difficult time for them to make a choice in their lives, because every shortlisted actor is excellent. Oh, of course, they will say the same thing next time."
The audience burst into laughter.
"Okay, enough nonsense, I believe you can't wait."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the host opened the envelope and then looked at everyone.
"To be honest, I was surprised to see the name."
The host held the envelope to his chest.
"Let us congratulate Ruan for winning the Best Actor award for his outstanding performance in Journey to the West!"
The next moment, the audience burst into applause.
All the camera lenses were focused on the elegant oriental young man sitting next to Director Wan.
He was dressed in a brocade robe, with a noble and elegant temperament. Faced with the sudden big prize, he was not surprised to the point of losing his composure.
He stood up calmly, responded to the congratulations from the people around him with a slight bow, and then walked calmly to the podium.
Handing the Golden Man trophy to Ruan Tang, the host asked, "Ruan, how do you feel now?"
Ruan Tang smiled and said, "Very excited!"
Host: "Oh, I see you are very calm."
Ruan Tang: "Because it is a global live broadcast now, I have to maintain a perfect image in front of the camera!"
The people in the audience couldn't help laughing.
The host also laughed, but the next second he changed the subject and spoke sharply.
"How do you feel about defeating other contestants and becoming the best actor in the Golden Globe with just a monkey?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became quiet.
As we all know, "yellow monkey" is not a good word abroad. It is a derogatory term for the Flower Country people.
I don’t know whether the host asked this intentionally or unintentionally!
Ruan Tang looked at the host meaningfully, with the corners of his lips raised.
"I can only say that the judges have good vision. Although our Great Sage is a monkey, he can fight against the gods in the sky with his own strength. Although he has great strength, he never bullies the weak. Instead, he knows how to respect others. Compared with him, some people may just be wearing human skin."
Ruan Tang stopped talking at that point, but the host's face darkened visibly.
There was warm applause at the scene.
"Good job, Ruan!"
Not everyone has a clan aura, and the actors in the audience are not all of the same skin color.
Faced with the host's aggressiveness, Ruan Tang's answer was like a loud slap in the face, not only slapping the host in the face, but also those racists.
Some people even whistled excitedly.
Ruan Tang didn't even look at the host's expression. He waved the trophy in his hand towards the audience. Like Director Wan, he thanked the audience and staff again before leaving the stage.
At this time, in the back row of the venue, the eyes of a man who had rushed in exhausted had already frozen into ice, and waves of cold air spread from his body to the surroundings, making the guests around him shiver!
Especially the person in charge of the organizer who was closest to the stage, couldn't help but slap the host on the stage in his mind.
Doesn’t this idiot know that one of the biggest capitals behind the little golden man is the Huaguo Consortium!
"Mr. Mo, I will ask him to step down immediately and replace him with another host."
"No need, I'll go on stage myself."
The man's voice was as cold as ice.
If there hadn't been an unexpected meeting, he wouldn't have almost missed Ruan Tang's important moment.
After finally rushing over, I saw my lover being in trouble.
In addition to anger, Mo Jinchen also felt a desire for destruction.
But soon, he calmed down.
He straightened his clothes and walked towards the podium.
The person in charge was stunned for a moment, then responded quickly and used the intercom to notify the staff to quickly pull the idiot off the stage.
Seeing the host being "asked" to leave the podium, the guests in the audience couldn't help but whisper.
"What happened? Why was Jim asked to leave the stage? Who will present the awards next?"
"Because of his previous remarks, he was too inappropriate to resort to racial discrimination in such an occasion."
"I think Jim is right. Is our performance worse than that of a monkey?"
"Jin, what are you talking about? Didn't you watch Journey to the West? Although the special effects of this movie are indeed a big plus, Ruan Tang's performance is also very wonderful. Do you have to deny Ruan's acting skills just because the rest of the movie is excellent?"
"That's right, you guys who don't know how to appreciate, if you say something bad about Ruan again, I'll beat you up!"
The last words were spoken by Adam.
After the host's questioning, he felt angry at first, and then a strong sense of guilt.
Because he had spoken rudely to Ruan before.
Ahhhh, how could I have been such a shallow bastard in the past!
Adam was feeling annoyed at the moment, and someone happened to run into him, giving him a good opportunity to vent his anger.
The pressure from the 1.9-meter-tall supermodel is still intimidating.
Seeing Adam clench his fists, the man was so scared that he immediately shut up.
The gap in the award ceremony did not last long after the host was asked to leave the stage.
Soon, a tall man with an oriental face walked onto the podium.
His black suit made him stand tall and straight, his facial features were deep and handsome, and his whole demeanor was noble and extraordinary.
Everyone began to speculate about his identity.
But Adam and the crew of "Journey to the West" and "Madame Daisy" stared with wide eyes.
"Damn it, how did that guy get on stage?"
Adam couldn't help but murmur.
Wan Dao looked at Ruan Tang beside him.
At this moment, Ruan Tang's beautiful peach blossom eyes widened slightly, and it was obvious that she had not expected the current situation.
He stared at the man on the stage without blinking, his sparkling eyes even brighter than the stage lights.
On the other hand, Watson, who missed out on the Best Actor award, couldn't help but curl his lips after a brief shock.
"It seems like there's no suspense about the Best Actress award?"
