Chapter 532 Is There Anything Happier than This?

With Bruno's official announcement, the scene suddenly burst into warm cheers and applause!

And Bratt was rarely excited, and stood up and hugged Lin Qiu, Sofia and others warmly. As a masterpiece that is highly praised on almost any platform, "Manchester by the Sea" has only won the first award now. The audience just thinks it's too late!

"Here it comes!"

"Best Actor!"

"Lin Qiu has won an actor!!"

"Awesome! That's how it should be!"

"Manchester by the Sea" deserves it! Brandt's Lee is definitely the best acting I have ever seen!"

...

The audience in Xiazhou celebrated enthusiastically, and they were not sad that Bratt was not a Xiazhou actor. After all, this film belongs to Lin Qiu.

Under the stage, seeing Bratt winning the title of actor and walking to the stage, an actor also had a warm look in his eyes. This actor is Rob, the male lead of the film "The Pursuit of Happyness"!

Rob's previous honors were higher than Brent's, but he had never won the Oscar for Best Actor!

You know, Rob is 120% confident in "The Pursuit of Happyness". This is definitely the most exciting film Rob has ever made, no doubt about it!

In this way, Rob is even more looking forward to next year's Oscar.

On the stage, Brent's impassioned acceptance speech frequently amused the stars and actors present. There are many good actors, but many good actors can only play one type of role and play this type of role to the extreme.

But Brent is completely different. It can be seen from the roles in the films that Brent has played in the past that the characters he plays have very different personalities. The role of "Lee" is also an important milestone in Brent's acting career.

On the stage, Bratt and his mentor Bruno hugged each other tightly. During the acceptance speech, there was a big joke, because Bratt said that Lin Qiu was the most artistic and talented director he had ever seen. When Bruno jokingly patted Bratt on the shoulder, he meant "what about me?"

The scene was immediately filled with joy!

After all, everyone knew that Bratt's mentor was Bruno!

...

After the Best Actor award was announced, the scene entered a short break.

Next are the last two major awards of the night!

Best Director and Best Picture!

For the Best Director Award, almost all the fans in Xiazhou are praying for Lin Qiu to win this huge award. You know, it is so meaningful. The Best Director of the Oscars, who has won this award in the past is not a legendary director!

Lin Qiu won this award, and he can completely step into the highest level of the film industry like Lao Ze stepped into the throne of the best-selling novel world. Not to mention being on par with many Mount Rushmore-level directors, at least it is a brand new beginning.

But in fact, Lin Qiu knew that with the movie "Manchester by the Sea", it was really hard to win the Best Director award.

To put it bluntly, the real highlight of this movie was not the director.

On the contrary, Lin Qiu felt that Ye Zhiyuan had a great chance.

Among the several excellent works competing this year, "Empty Land" and "Manchester by the Sea" were art films, and "Spinning the Future" was a commercial film.

Only "Witness for the Prosecution" was a feature film.

Those who understand the Oscars and the film industry know that feature films are the type of films that can best demonstrate the director's ability, including the control of rhythm, the arrangement of the plot, and the turning point.

Art films and commercial films have different focuses due to their respective types.

When the plot is smooth, the director only needs to control the lens and the content of expression.

...

"The winner of this year's Best Director is..."

At this moment, the camera was given to the five directors nominated on the scene. Compared with the five leading actors just now, these directors seemed quite relaxed.

Ye Zhiyuan knew that he had a good chance of winning the Best Director award. This was a filmmaker's judgment based on the entire film industry, but when he really heard his name, he still felt unreal.

The guest on the stage held a paper card and announced:

"Witness for the Prosecution!"

"Ye Zhiyuan!!"

For practitioners in the film industry, this answer is not surprising, but for a group of Jiuzhou movie fans, this answer is really too unexpected!

You know, although Ye Zhiyuan had two excellent works before, he was far from being able to get involved in the Oscar for Best Director, but this film really brought Ye Zhiyuan to this point.

Just like Bong Joon-ho won the Oscar for Best Director with "Parasite" in his previous life, you can't say that Director Bong Joon-ho has become a director of Mount Rushmore, but there is no doubt that at this moment, the film that helped them win the award must have been recognized by the majority of filmmakers.

"Congratulations!"

"I said that when I pulled you into Chang'an, I thought there would be such a day, do you believe it?"

Lin Qiu said with a smile as he hugged Ye Zhiyuan.

Ye Zhiyuan's feelings were quite complicated. His gratitude to Lin Qiu was greater than his joy of winning the award!

"I believe it."

"I believe whatever you say."

Ye Zhiyuan did not dwell too much on the fact that he had won the highest director honor before Lin Qiu.

Because Ye Zhiyuan knew that as long as Lin Qiu wanted to win it, there would be no award in the film industry that Lin Qiu could not win.

In that case, why bother about it?

When Ye Zhiyuan entered Chang'an, he only thought that Chang'an would give him a platform to express himself freely. He never thought that such a day would come.

Surrounded by cheers, Ye Zhiyuan stood on the podium and was not excited, but felt happy!

The eager gaze he looked at Lin Qiu made Lin Qiu's skin crawl.

Whether it is Ye Zhiyuan himself or every ordinary person, the happiest thing in this life is to be able to chase, struggle and succeed in his ideals!

Is there anything happier than this?

…

"Ye Zhiyuan!!"

"Oh no! It's not Lin Qiu! Ah! If you don't know how to teach your apprentice, the master will starve to death!"

"A historic moment for Director Xia Zhou!"

"Although I tell me privately that Lin Qiu deserves this award more, I am still happy for Ye Zhiyuan. Brothers, don't say anything that is disappointing. Lin Qiu has never struggled with this, otherwise he would not write one fairy script after another. Leave it to Ye Zhiyuan to take the photo!”

"That's right, don't panic, there's still a best picture! According to my intuition, the best picture should be "Manchester by the Sea"!"

"+1! Strong premonition! If a film like "Manchester by the Sea" only wins the only award for Best Actor, it will be recorded in history."

On the Xiazhou Internet, there is still a lot of discussion about Ye Zhiyuan winning the major award of Best Director.

Many of Lin Qiu's fans are a little bit sour. After all, Ye Zhiyuan's step-by-step climb to today's film, at least half of the credit belongs to Lin Qiu.

Whether it is "Fatal ID", "The Butterfly Effect" or "Witness for the Prosecution", they are all god-level scripts that are most suitable for Ye Zhiyuan's film shooting style. They are simply tailor-made by Lin Qiu for Ye Zhiyuan.

Although he knew that Lin Qiu himself might not care about this, as a fan, it was still a bit of a pity.

Not surprising, but a pity!
