At that moment, Rowan Atkinson's excitement was unimaginable. Rowan Atkinson was desperate for recognition.
At this time, Rowan Atkinson had become an internationally famous comedy star because of his role as Mr. Bean. Many people even compared him to Chaplin, saying that he was the only comedy master in the 20th century who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Chaplin.
However, Rowan Atkinson was not happy at all because he realized that no matter how good a comedy was, it could not be recognized by the mainstream.
In the eyes of the mainstream film industry and the film industry, comedy actors were like clowns, just like Uncle McDonald.
Level verification. Rowan Atkinson was very eager to receive an award. As long as it was international in nature, Rowan Atkinson would attend all the award ceremonies in the world.
However, in the end, Rowan Atkinson helplessly realized that no matter which award ceremony he attended, he would either not win a single award, or even if he won an award, it would be for comedy.
Best Comedy TV Series Award?
Best Comedian or whatever, Rowan Atkinson was the Best Actor Award I wanted. It had nothing to do with him.
This made Rowan Atkinson gradually despair about awards, especially when he made a last-ditch effort to enter the film industry from the television industry in 1997. The result was naturally even more bleak.
Previously, Rowan Atkinson would still be invited to participate in the television industry's awards. However, the film industry's awards had nothing to do with Rowan Atkinson. They did not even bother to invite him. Even if Rowan Atkinson's "Mr. Bean's Disaster" grossed a total of 250 million USD at the box office worldwide, it did not change anything.
Therefore, after Rowan Atkinson finished filming "Mr. Bean's Disaster", he stopped filming the Mr. Bean movies and TV series and turned to traditional movies in an attempt to complete a transition and gain recognition from the world.
Unfortunately, Rowan Atkinson did not get anything in the end. In the end, he had to return to the role of Mr. Bean, but it was impossible for him to return to the peak of his career.
At this time, Rowan Atkinson was struggling the most in his life. He was hesitating whether to stop filming Mr. Bean and turn to traditional movie roles.
Until Rowan Atkinson received an invitation for the Golden Dragon Award.
At first, Rowan Atkinson didn't want to come because he didn't think that Hua Xia people could understand European comedies. However, after he learned about the Golden Dragon Award and the story of Boss Jia's anger at Oscar, he instantly felt like he had found a soulmate.
That's right. Just like him, Rowan Atkinson had been discriminated against by the mainstream academies. He had to participate in this film festival. Hence, Rowan Atkinson came directly. When he came, he didn't even consider the possibility of him winning an award. That was until he heard his name from Boss Jia.
"Welcome, Mr. Atkinson! Thank you for your wonderful performance! "Boss Jia said with a smile as he shook Rowan Atkinson's hand.
"Thank you!" Rowan Atkinson, who had always made people laugh, was now so emotional that he shed tears in front of the television camera. "I never thought that I would actually win an award!"
"Of course you can win this award!" Boss Jia laughed.
"But many people think that I don't deserve it!" Rowan Atkinson was probably too emotional. He directly said a lot of things that were in his heart.
"Many people …" Boss Jia smiled and asked, "How many people are there?"
"This …" Rowan Atkinson was stunned. "Most of the people in the film industry …"
"Even if you include the people in the film industry, there aren't many. At most, there are tens of thousands of people!" Boss Jia laughed loudly. "But according to our data, your movie was watched by 45 million people worldwide. 2.6 million people voted for you. More than 70% of them gave you a high score of 9 or above. Less than 3% gave you a score of 8 or below!"
"Compared to 2.6 million people, a mere few tens of thousands of people are nothing!" Boss Jia held Rowan Akinkinson's hand tightly and said, "Mr. Akinkinson, I have always believed that movies are made for all of mankind, not for film critics and judges!"
"A movie that can win the approval of all audiences and an actor that can win the approval of all audiences is truly great and successful!"
"I am very happy to tell you that you are such an actor that has won the approval of almost all audiences all over the world. You are worthy of the title of Best Actor!" Boss Jia said in a loud voice. His words were also spread to the audience through the microphone. It was spread to all the audience who heard this through the live broadcast.
These words resonated with countless actors. Many of them, who had never been able to win an award and were judged to only know how to please the audience, stood up excitedly and applauded loudly.
Even those in front of the TV, such as Will Smith, who had been rejected by the Oscars all his life, couldn't help but applaud.
Ordinary audiences all over the world naturally approved of Boss Jia's words. They felt that Boss Jia had spoken their minds.
Of course, with Boss Jia supporting the audience like this, it would be strange if the audience did not like it.
Only the judges and so-called film critics hated Boss Jia even more. However, Boss Jia didn't care. They couldn't bite him.
Then, Boss Jia placed the Golden Dragon Cup in Rowan Atkinson's hand.
"Thank you! In my heart, this trophy is far more valuable than any other award in the world. Even the Oscars are not half as valuable as this trophy. This trophy was given to me by the audience all over the world. This is the highest honor! " Rowan Atkinson said excitedly as he shook Boss Jia's hand and held the Golden Dragon Cup in his hand.
Rowan Atkinson's words shocked the guests. It was one thing for him to attend the film festival, but now he had lost the Oscars. He would be blacklisted completely.
However, on second thought, Rowan Atkinson was a European. He had nothing to do with the Oscars, so it didn't matter.
After his impassioned speech, Rowan Atkinson was so excited that he wanted to leave the stage. He had already made up his mind to place the Golden Dragon Cup in the safest and most conspicuous place in his house.
Boss Jia grabbed Rowan Atkinson and smiled. "Mr. Atkinson, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Don't you want your $20 million prize?"
