Full-time actor

Chen Yu's composed and unhurried acceptance speech mirrored his professional career.

Smooth sailing.

And this is what he gained through his rebirth.

this moment!
The gazes from the audience grew increasingly intense.

Wherever the eye falls, there shines the most dazzling presence on the stage—

Chen Yu.

“This award is a heavy burden for me.”

"The line between madness and genius is very thin. I hope that the story of the Joker can draw our attention to those souls struggling in loneliness."

"Finally, I want to say something to my loved one."

Chen Yu's gaze fell in the direction where Liu Yifei was.

This time, there were none of the usual polite formalities in the acceptance speech.

From beginning to end.

Chen Yu perfectly embodies the true soul of this character.

"Our appointment is not far off."

These words instantly ignited the atmosphere in the room.

Agreement?

This undoubtedly piqued everyone's curiosity, to the point that many people cheered.

The media reporters in the audience were even more excited.

They sensed the presence of gossip.

Most media reporters were already prepared, combining text and images to release the press release directly.

[A source of pride for the Chinese people! Chen Yu wins the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.]

[With his outstanding performance in "The Dark Knight," Chen Yu became the first Chinese actor to win the Best Supporting Actor award at the Oscars.]

[A historic moment: Chen Yu wins the Oscar, a well-deserved honor.]

[With the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor won, how far behind is the Best Actor award?]

【…】

The overwhelming number of news articles has dominated the trending topics.

Such an event would be sensational news, both domestically and internationally.

A Chinese actor won an Oscar for the first time in 20 years. The last time was in 1985 when Cambodian-Chinese actor Wu Hanrun won the Best Supporting Actor award at the 57th Academy Awards, the 42nd Golden Globe Awards, and the 38th British Academy Film Awards for his role as a Cambodian journalist in "The Battle of the City".

This is, of course, the first time a Chinese filmmaker has won an Oscar.

Therefore, this is clearly a historic moment.

The difficulties and obstacles involved are beyond the imagination of others.

For a while.

Domestic netizens couldn't help but cheer.

This is an honor for the nation, a source of pride for the people, and a breakthrough for all Chinese filmmakers.

Chen Yu broke this curse.

From now on, Chinese-language films will be seen by the whole world.

"We've waited too long for this moment."

"Please remember this night, when our Brother Yu won China's first Oscar."

"Deserved!"

"I'm really going to cry. From now on, Eastern aesthetics will shine at the Oscars."

"Am I the only one who's a little curious? What kind of agreement did he and Sisi make?"

The netizens were chatting enthusiastically in the live stream room.

As for the female protagonist at the center of the discussion, she was already in tears.

A single tear rolled down her cheek.

It was a mixture of joy and heartache.

Without saying much, Chen Yu stepped off the stage, holding the trophy and certificate in his hand.

It wasn't until I stepped down that all of this felt real.

It would be a lie to say I felt no emotion when I gave my acceptance speech.

This is the first time in his two lifetimes that he has received this trophy, which represents the highest honor.

At this moment, I felt somewhat dazed.

Nolan hugged Chen Yu tightly on the way back.

This was also the moment when he shared both glory and shame.

Chen Yu was right; at that time, he defied all opposition and faced immense pressure.

Everyone was pessimistic about them, but Chen Yu proved them the best.

"Thank you, Chan!"

"You have fulfilled my dream."

It's worth noting that Chen Yu winning the Best Supporting Actor award was also Nolan's first breakthrough in his Oscar journey.

before this.

The main focus is on obtaining Oscar nominations.

Listening to Nolan's somewhat strained speech, Chen Yu hugged the person in front of him back.

"You made The Dark Knight what it is."

Without Nolan, there would be no Dark Knight as we know it.

Perhaps a Batman movie will be released, but it won't be the phenomenal masterpiece that completely rewrites the landscape of superhero movies.

"Oh! No."

"You should say that you made the Joker."

The two exchanged a smile, while Chen Yu returned to his seat.

Seeing his girlfriend's eyes redden, Chen Yu raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Fool, why are you crying?"

Liu Yifei sniffed and hastily wiped away the tears on her face.

"Being happy isn't enough."

"Honey, your dream has finally come true."

Li An and Zou Wenhuai, standing beside them, watched the interaction between Liu Yifei and Chen Yu.

It’s great to be young!
Raymond Chow's hand landed on the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

She let out a barely perceptible, soft sigh.

A faint sense of anticipation began to stir in his heart.

if.

If Chen Yu can win the Oscar for Best Actor, then they can truly say that their dream has come true.

at the same time.

imperial capital.

Villa area.

A large family of dozens of people were gathered in front of the television the moment Tilda Swinton called out that name.

The whole family cheered together.

"We got it! I knew our Xiao Yu could do it."

Shen Xiaolan screamed.

now.

The atmosphere inside the room was clearly electric; everyone was excited about the moment.

Shen Xiaoqin was completely stunned.

"Xiao Chen won an award; he received the highest honor."

"This is the Oscars!"

Liu Xiaoli pulled the person in front of her, and only then did she notice that Shen Xiaoqin suddenly covered her mouth with her hand.

That choked sob still escaped.

"He did it! My son really did it!"

The two mothers embraced each other, tears streaming down their faces.

Chen Peidong jumped up on the sofa.

"It really is our Xiaoyu! Our Xiaoyu has won an award."

As for the other family members present...

He hurriedly took out his phone to record this historic moment.

Laughter and tears mingled together.

They certainly knew what Oscar meant to Chen Yu.

Seeing their child's dream come true makes parents happier than anyone else.

This night.

In countless days and nights to come, recalling it will feel exceptionally warm.

……

After presenting eight technical awards, Sean Penn then took to the stage.

As a regular at the Oscars, his talent is beyond question.

Especially in this session.

He also received an Oscar nomination for "Milk".

Chen Yu looked at the man on the stage.

In his previous life, it was Sean Penn who won the Oscar for Best Actor.

This talented actor has an impressive resume and numerous awards.

As someone who excels in both acting and directing, he enjoys a prestigious reputation in the international film industry.

This is Chen Yu's greatest opponent today.

My thoughts drifted away.

Even though they were competitors, Chen Yu still admired him.

"Good evening--"

as predicted.

This filmmaker is a tough guy both on and off screen.

Standing on the stage, he showed absolutely no expression.

As serious as ever.

Just like the roles he usually plays.

"Movies are never just in one dialect."

"It comes from all over the world, using language to express everyone's pain and hope regarding love and hate."

Sean Penn held up the award letter in his hand.

His gaze swept across the entire room.

With a hint of scrutiny.

"Now." "Let's see which work has transcended language and touched our hearts."

Li An looked toward the stage.

Bruce Lee was nominated for this award.

At this moment, five shortlisted works appeared on the big screen.

have to say.

This year's competition for Best Foreign Language Film is quite fierce.

"Revenge" -- Austria

Bader and Meinhof -- Germany
Between the Walls -- France
"Waltzing with Bashir" -- Israel

LEE -- China, the United States, Hong Kong, and Taiwan

Chen Yu's gaze fell on the shortlist, and the five nominated films were all quite different in style.

Relatively speaking, the theme is also quite profound.

in the past.

The film that won the Best Foreign Language Film award at the 81st Academy Awards was "Departures".

However, due to Chen Yu's rebirth, that work was already completed ahead of schedule.

As for now.

Bruce Lee replaced Departures.

What will happen next has already become something the public is eagerly anticipating.

Oscar judges tend to favor realistic themes.

In comparison, "Waltz with Basil" is arguably the strongest contender.

Sean Penn held up the award certificate in his hand.

In full view.

The envelope inside was pulled out.

He didn't pause at all; his movements were swift and decisive.

"LEE!"

boom--

The whole place was boiling.

Li An's smile blossomed in an instant.

Even with her usually reserved and composed demeanor, she couldn't control her emotions at this moment.

To know.

Winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film has significance far beyond simply bringing home an Oscar statuette.

At this moment.

All the main cast and crew members of the "Bruce Lee" film crew jumped up excitedly.

At this moment, Li An slowly stood up from his seat.

A shy and bewildered smile even flashed across her face.

Victory without arrogance.

Chen Yu looked at Li An in front of him.

He always maintained a clear and restrained demeanor.

He might prefer quiet joy to an exciting celebration.

"Brother Yu, we won an award."

The voice was kept extremely low, and at that moment, Chen Yu also stood up from his seat.

He was greeted with cheers and congratulations from the entire audience.

Li An responded to each question with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you everyone!"

Li An took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and finally walked towards the awards stage.

Chen Yu looked at Li An.

A serene tranquility, a sense of relief at the weight of his burden, was clearly visible in his eyes.

"thank you all!"

"Thank you for being willing to cross the bridge of language and listen to this story from the East."

The applause from the audience rose and fell.

Bruce Lee's fame has already spread throughout the world.

Li An and Chen Yu recreated Bruce Lee's former glory.

"I also want to thank my team; it is you who have given this story a unique brilliance."

"And the male lead of this movie."

"Mr. Chen Yu".

"Your performance brought the character to life. Bruce Lee is alive today. The emotional resonance is indescribable."

Li An raised the trophy in his hand.

Finally, he bowed deeply to the audience.

The applause from the audience was instantly enthusiastic. The director, who was already respected by everyone, was indeed delighted to have achieved this.

Zou Wenhuai looked at Li An.

Everyone deeply felt the joy of this moment.

Li An was already quite satisfied. Although he wasn't nominated for Best Director, winning the Best Foreign Language Film award was a recognition for him.

As for this moment—

There were four grand prizes left in the competition.

They are also the object of everyone's competition.

Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Picture.

Now it was Anne Hathaway's turn to be a little nervous.

After all, the next award to be announced is for Best Actress, but she had already studied the nominees beforehand.

It's pretty much the same as what I did at the Golden Globe Awards.

Actually.

The competition for Best Actress at this year's Academy Awards is quite fierce.

In addition to some new generation and emerging actors, there are also evergreen stars in the film industry such as Angelina Jolie and Kate Winslet.

I want to win an award.

How easy is it?

Chen Yu's thoughts drifted away.

Precisely.

Anne Hathaway's character is relatively weak; in the movie "Bruce Lee," she has very little screen time or memorable moments.

As for the shortlist...

In her previous life, Kate Winslet won Best Actress for her role in "The Reader".

Kate Winslet had already become famous long before "Titanic".

However, she did not stay in the comfort zone of commercial films.

Instead, they take on various challenging artistic roles.

In terms of experience, Anne Hathaway is clearly no match.

Besides.

This time, the opponent is just as ridiculously strong.

Meryl Streep in "Doubt" is a legend whose status remains unchallenged, having received her 15th Academy Award nomination for acting.

This is the end.

The results of this competition should remain unchanged.

The five award presenters are already standing on the stage.

The moment the award letter was opened, the entire audience held their breath and stared in disbelief.

"Congratulations--"

"The Reader" by Kate Winslet.

As Nicole Kidman read out the names, Anne Hathaway wore a slightly bitter smile.

But it was fleeting.

Chen Yu didn't have much to say about this.

So far, there are still breakthroughs to be made for Anne Hathaway.

Even though she has successfully transformed her career.

"There will be another chance next time! I believe you can do it."

The moment Liu Yifei looked at Anne Hathaway, her face was full of sincerity.

in fact.

Being nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress is already a testament to the recognition of her acting skills.

This is something everyone dreams of.

The same applies to Liu Yifei.

Thank you.

"Then I'll lend you some good advice."

At this moment, only three major awards remained on stage, and the one that everyone was naturally paying attention to was the Best Actor award.

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu.

She was already nervously drawing little figures.

She would go crazy if Chen Yu could win the Oscar for Best Actor.

Perhaps he noticed Liu Yifei's gaze.

Chen Yu reached under the table and intertwined his hand with Liu Yifei's.

Fingers intertwined.

They were clearly drawing courage from each other.

The Best Director award was the same as the previous one.

Danny Boyle, star of Slumdog Millionaire.

This film should have been the biggest winner at this year's Oscars, after all, it swept all the major awards.

Especially Danny Boyle.

This was his first Oscar nomination and his first win.

In his world.

At this moment, he was clearly the undisputed protagonist.

As his acceptance speech ended, the most exciting moment had arrived.

There was silence.

Marion Cotillard then stepped onto the stage.

Now, the moment of witnessing a miracle has arrived! (End of Chapter)
