Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 292 Mr. Xu’s Chinese acceptance speech
"..."

"And the Oscar goes to...Infernal Affairs."

When the award presenter said in a calm tone, "The films we are honoring tonight are truly influential," he calmly announced the results, and the audience cheered.

Li Cheng and Zhuang Hui now stood up to express their excitement, joy and excitement.

The two grown men hugged each other and jumped up and down in public.

Mr. Xu finally confirmed the award.

Because the first familiar word he captured was...Oscar.

Then there is the translation of "Infernal Affairs".

Amid the applause and cheers of the audience, Li Cheng made arrangements for all the members of the "Infernal Affairs" film crew who came to the scene to take the stage.

For example, Chung Ka-fai, who has always been invisible, and the executive director sitting in the corner of the back row.

There is also a guest appearance by the actor Long.

Together they surrounded Mr. Xu and walked to the podium.

It wasn't until this moment that Xu Nian realized why he had given three names when applying for the election.

Because the number of trophies is given based on the number of people selected.

One per hand.

The point is, the gold content of this statuette is the highest among Oscar awards, which can be seen from the fact that it is the last award.

Although he didn't get the best actor statuette, he got the best picture statuette, which will only have more effect.

So... after everyone on the stage consciously stood in a row, Li Chengdang spoke in English first: "Thank you, thank you everyone, thank you Mr. Xu Nian for bringing this movie to this stage."

After speaking, Li Cheng directly handed over the stage to Mr. Xu.

Xu Nian did not decline. He walked two steps and stood in front of the standing microphone. He looked at the camera with a vacant look and did not speak in a hurry.

At this moment, he was organizing his thoughts very quickly.

The first thing he thought about was how he could use this platform to express something to the world.

Then I thought about what content each party would like to express more...

At the same time, all the live broadcast viewers around the world couldn’t hold back, and they chattered through the barrage:

"This is a truly influential film and it deserves the title, but why Xu?"

"Isn't he the leading actor? Why is he a member of the film crew?"

"Did he direct this film? That would be... really cool."

"This man is so handsome. Every hair on his head is so elegant. I finally know his name!"

"..."

Domestic netizens:

"No, no, why is Xu Nian the speaker? Isn't he illiterate?"

"What did Li Cheng just say? He said thank you Xu Nian? Shouldn't Xu Nian thank him?"

"I have to say, apart from anything else, Xu Nian is really handsome! His outfit today is so elegant that he has no friends!"

"Don't be ridiculous, I'm really curious as to why he is speaking on behalf of the people, and what contribution has he made?"

"Is it possible that Li Cheng still relies on Xu Nian, a top figure, so he can only compromise?"

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as you think it is, it's already here anyway, and no one can stop it."

"Now I just want to know what language the illiterate Xu can use? He doesn't seem to speak English. He can't really use Chinese, right?"

"To be honest, there were a lot of Chinese-language films and TV shows who went out to receive awards in the past, but it seems that none of them used Chinese on such a big stage. They just followed the local customs."

"Suddenly I felt something interesting."

"..."

Compared with the worries of domestic netizens, Xu Nian never considered the language issue from beginning to end.

Chinese is one of the six universal languages ​​in the world, and it is normal to appear on any occasion.

In fact, the players from all over the world did not pay attention to this small issue.

They are more 'venting' their emotions at the moment.

"The influence of Infernal Affairs is truly exaggerated. It is the scariest film released last year."

"Yeah, it's hard to imagine that wider coverage could be because of this man."

"..."

"In fact, what's even more difficult to imagine is that he didn't win the Best Actor. His performance was so perfect!"

"It's a normal phenomenon. His face is not familiar enough, and Oriental faces are not very common."

"..."

"I just don't understand why best picture can be given and not other awards."

"Maybe it's because the academy really can't completely abandon professional ethics and the certain neutrality of awards."

"It's really a pity that I encountered such a movie..."

"..."

At the award ceremony, as Xu Nian fell silent, the cheers gradually faded away, and everyone waited patiently.

They dropped all whispering.

I want to see what the top star from the East wants to express when he stands on this stage for the first time.

They are actually full of curiosity.

They think this is the most likely way to get to know Mr. Xu more closely...

…………

About forty seconds later, Xu Nian cleared his throat, looked around, and said slowly: "I'm sorry, I have only studied Chinese."

As he spoke, he raised the trophy: "Actually, I think this is reasonable."

"The global film industry has fallen into a vicious circle, a vicious circle of not making progress and resting on its laurels."

"We have reached the pinnacle of the current era with just a little effort..." Li Cheng helped Xu Nian translate every sentence from the sidelines. As Li Cheng's voice fell, the scene became quieter.

International viewers watching via live broadcast also grew quiet.

them……

For a while, I couldn't find a reason to refute it. It seemed that no matter how I looked at it, I would find that this was the truth.

The brilliance of the film industry seems to have come to an end in an instant.

It’s been a long, long time since the world saw a film that was surprising and emotional in every way.

Repeating design elements, this and that...

In fact, what they didn't know was that Xu Nian who said these words had very simple thoughts.

If we don’t take advantage of this opportunity where even farting makes people feel good, it would be a waste of opportunity to take advantage of Global Pictures and the global audience.

Xu Nian didn't pay much attention to the increasingly quiet scene. He smiled slightly: "In fact, as a filmmaker, I really don't want to win the award this time."

"because……"

"This means that the global film and television industry will face the impact I will bring next."

"It is no exaggeration to say that a film like Infernal Affairs, which was shot in only thirty or forty days, was not all of our capabilities, at least it did not fully demonstrate my views and understanding of the film."

“Hopefully I’ll see new films this year that make me look slightly sideways.”

After a pause, Xu Nian made a final summary: "Thank you to all the staff behind the scenes, thank you to Tianyue, and thank you all for your recognition of Infernal Affairs."

"I'm sorry, I should know that the simple truth is always so hard to look at."

"See you next year."

When Li Cheng quickly translated Xu Nian's last speech, everyone on the Infernal Affairs team left the stage enthusiastically...

.........

quiet!
Quiet!

Deathly silence!

The scene fell into an inexplicable but reasonable silence.

Regardless of whether they are winners or not, there is an indescribable... pain.

They never expected that they would feel such a powerful acceptance speech at the Oscars.

For the first time in many people's lives, they felt that the young man standing at the center of the world could easily touch their souls with a few random words.

Even the host is a little numb now.

so...

Are all the top players from the big Eastern countries so good at playing?
Let him finish all the gossip!

There was no way to refute it.

At this moment, the more excited staff even started to gnash their teeth and express: "fuxk, I really want to ban him!"

"Why should the jury award the award? It's not without controversy and shady stories!"

"That's right! It's so annoying!"

"I feel like the little golden man regrets being produced right now. He should have died in the factory if he had known!"

Among the many complaints, a voice said in a neutral tone: "Did he say anything wrong?"

Everyone was suddenly speechless: "..."

Again, no matter domestic or foreign, whether yellow, white or other human beings, it is difficult to look directly at the truth that is as sharp as a knife.

The global artists present also got angry.

One of them dared not speak louder than the other.

"It's outrageous."

"It's outrageous!"

"..."

Completely opposite to the collective uncomfortable atmosphere at the scene is the...ambiguous attitude of online netizens.

"Okay, okay, just because Xu dared to speak like this at the Oscars, I am willing to follow him and become his fan!"

"Finally someone dares to complain about these unprogressive filmmakers! And it's at the Oscars!"

"From today on I will mainly focus on Chinese-language films, I hope you won't be disappointed!"

"I love this state of speaking so much."

"..."

As for domestic netizens, no matter what the ingredients are, they are all boiling.

"Fuck, fuck, Xu Nian is so awesome. Not only did he give a speech in Chinese, but he also directly dissed movies and TV shows all over the world. He's so cool!"

"I can only say that he was the one to install this competition. Who allowed him to win the prize?"

"Li Cheng is also a bad guy. No wonder Xu Nian is asked to speak. He would never think of such a thing!"

"..."

"I kind of want to become a fan. I like this way of pretending to be cool. A little effort is the pinnacle of the industry~"

"Finally, I have a different acceptance speech, so it has to be Xu Nian. Everyone else is doing this and that. If you need to show off, just show off. What are you afraid of!"

"One word: handsome, two words: very handsome! Three words: so handsome on horseback!"

"..."

Finally, there was the Nian fan who took his time and came on stage to praise Xu Nian a little:
"Ah, you are discussing the Oscars. Ahem, let me briefly introduce it. The one who won the Best Picture is my husband."

"It's okay to pretend, our family is from Xu Nian, you know?"

"Don't get too excited. My husband is more pragmatic. That's the truth."

"If you have the ability, you can work with good movies. My husband has just started to set foot in the film industry. I am afraid that the next era will be my husband's reign~"

"..."
