Chapter 88 What is he saying

Li Siming had not sat firmly in his seat, and he had to go on stage again. Because after a liven up program, awards related to screenwriters were announced.

The script of "Forrest Gump" was adapted by Glum and Li Siming. Without Li Siming's surgical transformation of the narrative method and storyline, the script would not be more attractive. Originally, Li Siming didn't want to sign, but Glum insisted on this, otherwise he would refuse to come to the stage to receive the award even if he won the award, so Li Siming had to do so.

According to the Oscar regulations, if two people win the prize together, they will get the Little Golden Man. Glum was very excited and praised Li Siming on the stage. Li Siming stood on the stage, staring at the top of the hall, with a strange expression.

He couldn't be strange because although Glum was also involved in the screenwriter in the original film, another screenwriter was nominated. Because of Li Siming, he won the award because he thought he should thank him. The camera also captured Li Siming's expression. People want to know what Li Siming was thinking. Only God will know what Li Siming is thinking.

It was Li Siming's turn to speak again. Hope was a little reluctant. He didn't want to be fooled by Li Siming again.

"I request a speech in Chinese!" Li Siming asked. The camera kept working, the spotlights were flashing constantly, and the accompaniment music sounded around. The guests in the audience looked at themselves with respect, but Li Siming thought that he was just making a movie for the Americans.

"Li, you know, the guests here don't understand Chinese, there is no simultaneous translation here, and they are still broadcasting across the United States!" Hope was a little embarrassed.

"Then I reject this award!" Li Siming insisted, "I just want to say a few words to my compatriots."

"Okay then." Hope looked at Li Siming's determined expression and had to agree.

"..." Li Siming took the microphone, with a focused expression and a passionate voice. In conjunction with his body language, he spoke for two minutes. Fortunately, the timeout was not too long.

Zeng Zhi opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth wide, frowned, and looked incredible.

"What is he talking about?" Frankel was curious.

"I don't understand what he said very much. It seems to be a dialect in our Chinese!" Zeng Zhi shook his head and said depressedly, "Is this intentional incomprehensible to make people unable to understand?"

"Thank you!" After Li Siming finished speaking, he shrugged at the unknown Hope and walked off the stage.

Everyone in the audience was silent for a long time, but still clapped habitually, but no one understood what Li Siming was saying.

The ABC TV station, which was responsible for the broadcast, had already taken action at this time. They wanted to translate what Li Siming said into English as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too sorry to the audience if other media took the lead.

A Chinese who worked at ABC TV was soon found, a student from the University of Los Angeles who claimed to be a linguistic major.

"This is a language in China." The college student listened repeatedly several times and came to this "major" conclusion.

"Nonsense!" The person in charge of this program at abc TV station was immediately furious when he heard this.

"I don't understand. Let me tell you that the Chinese language is as vast as her territory. Her language can be roughly divided into..." College students seem to have found a stage to showcase their professional expertise.

"Enough, you go find an accountant now, get your salary, and then go home to study your linguistics." The person in charge gave the order, and he was complaining in his heart why Li Siming, a Chinese, spoke in a difficult dialect. Isn't this intentional trouble?

Just when ABC TV is looking for the so-called Chinese language experts, the final award of the male lead, the heroine award, and the film award will be awarded one by one. These are the climax part of the evening party. These are the three most important awards besides the Best Director Award.

The trick to selecting any award lies in the suspense of competition and the only result. Without suspense, there is no meaning of award rating. You can directly receive the award from behind closed doors. If you lose the only result, there is no meaning of best. You can "take care of face and favors" and have a "common best". Just like playing a fake ball, the process and results become decorations.

But before the guests came here this night, they knew that Li Siming would become the biggest winner. "Forrest Gump" was deeply loved by the Americans. Anyone who has a little understanding of history and American society will regard Forrest Gump as the embodiment of morality in the minds of Americans and deeply agree with the criticism. The film awarded the Best Picture Award to Li Siming is a compliment to the moral norms of the American middle class. Li Siming caters to the views of the mainstream American class and takes a big advantage.

Hanks really doesn't believe that he will be the best actor. Although he has always been very popular before, he is a newcomer. He cannot deny this. What is reflected in the performance of the movie is still a bit immature. This is what Li Siming thinks, and it is also what the critics think.

"Thanks... Thank you!" Hanks burst into tears in his eyes excitedly, hugging Li Siming hard, making Li Siming feel a little breathless. Everyone around him was amused and crying by his excessively enthusiastic actions.

"Not it!" Li Siming said with a smile, "We will take it again next year!"

"Shut up, Ah Ming!" Zeng Zhi said, "Don't brag and make drafts, and his tongue flashed."

"Don't worry, you have to have confidence in me!" Li Siming was no longer concerned.

Li Siming watched Hanks jump onto the stage step by step, and felt funny. At least this time, he did not lose this important award, nor did he "pull the seedlings to help grow". This man is gradually moving towards his glory, and his acting skills are getting better and better as he grows older.

"Today is the third happiest day in my life. The first time I married my wife, the second time I became my father, and the third time I am today. When I joined McKenna Film Company twenty years ago, I hoped to invest in filming one day. Today, I won this award on behalf of the company, which is more than I want. Here I would like to thank two people, one is my boss, Mr. Zeng from Hong Kong. He joined our company, thus making us from a small company to a company that can make big movies. The second is Mr. Li Siming, who brought us hope and glory. Of course, there are also our cast and crew, who are all out to let me stand here to accept this award." David Frankel, who won the Best Picture Award on behalf of the company, stood on the stage, excited, "But I will borrow Mr. Li Siming's patent: Our McKenna Film Company's next movie is better! Thank you!"

Frankel also fulfilled his wish. But there was another person who was frustrated, that is Judy Foster. In the original history, this role was not nominated at all. In this time and space, Li Siming allowed her to be nominated, but eventually lost to "The Deep Love of Mother and Daughter".

The film is a warm sketch aimed at interpreting the complex family relationship between mother and daughter with the ups and downs of life. The plot is touching and profound in thought. In the original history, it won five Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actor in five Academy Awards in the Oscars as a dark horse. Unfortunately, this film encountered "Forrest Gump" which should not have appeared, and only won two Academy Awards for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor.

In "Forrest Gump", the heroine has few scenes, and can only be called the Green Leaf around the hero, which is difficult to score in the eyes of the selected person. Judy Foster was a little disappointed, but she was also satisfied. From then on, she will appear in public as an actor, rather than a protagonist suspected of political murder. Her acting skills have been recognized again, and a brilliant tomorrow will be welcomed.

The party will eventually end. Li Siming, Frankel and others have to deal with the guests and stars who have gathered up again. While accepting congratulations, they have to accept invitations such as seeking cooperation. Of course, most of all, those stars who have never been nominated, famous or unfamous, expressed their hope to get a role in his movie.

"I'm sorry, the candidate for my next film has been basically finalized, and there are only a few supporting roles left. I hope to use a newcomer!" Li Siming once again expressed his position. In fact, in his heart, he hopes to catch one or two future big stars and serve the current big stars, which is much better than being a Bole!

Li Siming was quite determined, but he was under the banner of nobleness.

Although the party was over, the reporters had not left yet, and even the guests had not returned. Everyone was waiting to watch the show: Li Siming and Hope agreed to "practice" here at this time! Of course they knew that these two people would not really have to practice, they just wanted to know how Hope would deal with it.

Wilder, the journalist who hated Oscars, was wearing a camera like his peers, waiting for Li Siming to appear. He was exhausted now, but he still had to be nailed here. You can understand it as dedication or as just a part of the work.

"A quote from a celebrity makes us reporters enjoy it. We really miss the comfortable bed at home!" Wilder thought to himself in his heart, "What's strange is that we are still proud of it!"

"What are these people doing here?" Li Siming walked out of the hall and asked in confusion, "It's so dedicated!"

"This is all your trouble. Didn't you say you want to 'practice' with Mr. Hope?" Zeng Zhi pointed at Li Siming and said hatefully, "It's so embarrassing. I can't get along with an old man. I really regret being with you."

"I'm wronged, I'm just a joke." Li Siming stroked his forehead with a depressed look on his face, "He won't take it seriously, right?"

"That depends on the old man's mood. Otherwise, if you win, you won't win. If you lose, it would be even more embarrassing!" Zeng Zhi said.

"That's true. I hope the old man escapes through the back door!" Li Siming said, "But, if I practice with an old man, how could I lose?"

Li Siming didn't dare to run away at this time. This just gave the reporters the opportunity to interview. Li Siming would rather practice wrestling with a bison than face the overwhelming questions raised by the reporters.

Where has Bob Hope gone? Everyone was thinking about this question. Finally, a staff member of the college walked up to Li Siming tremblingly and said to Li Siming in diplomatic terms: "Dear Mr. Li, Bob Hope was unwell and in poor condition after hosting the party, which seriously affected his performance. Moreover, he said that he has changed to boxing and is no longer interested in Chinese Kung Fu!"

"Gentlemen, ladies. This is not that I disappointed everyone, it is that Mr. Hope's interest has changed. Don't write that I don't respect the old man. The live broadcast has been cancelled. Goodbye!" Li Siming waved his hand and left.

Everyone laughed and a grand ceremony ended while laughing.

However, some people are still busy, at least the person in charge of ABC TV station is still looking for a "Chinese Language Expert" who can "translate" Li Siming's speech.
