After the interlude of the Best Hua Xia Movie Awards, it was finally time for the Best Actor and Actress Awards. The most intense competition was for the "Best Actor" award.
It seemed that these two awards were destined to be won by Tom Hanks, the male lead of "Saving Private Ryan", and Elijah Wood, the male lead of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring". After all, these two movies were currently very popular and had very high box office sales.
Even Tom Hanks and Elijah Wood thought so. The two of them happened to be sitting together, so Tom Hanks took the lead and said with a smile, "Congratulations, this trophy and prize money are yours!"
"Senior, you must be joking. I don't deserve it!" Elijah Wood quickly said. Although he was not a movie newcomer, he was basically ignored in Hollywood.
Especially because of his personal problem, he could not get any good roles at all. He was completely on the edge of Hollywood.
However, it was because of his height that he was finally lucky enough to get the role of Frodo Baggins, the Hobbit in "The Lord of the Rings". Then, he became the box office champion in 1998. All of this was very magical. Elijah Wood still felt that it was very incredible.
"Hey, there are no seniors in front of your work. Your movie is so good, you deserve to win the award!" Tom Hanks praised.
"No, no, no, I just happened to come across a great work. Without this work, there would be no me. But you, you are a great actor. You really deserve this award! "
The two of them were humble to each other, as if they could not wait to give the championship to each other. Of course, only they knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
While they were being humble to each other, Brother Long opened the envelope and read out the list of winners. "Let us congratulate Jim Carrey, the male lead of" The Truman Show ". Congratulations to him for winning the Best Actor Award in the second Golden Dragon Awards!"
"… It's actually him!" Tom Hanks and Elijah Wood both closed their mouths at the same time. They then looked at Jim Carrey in disbelief, sitting in the row behind them.
At this moment, Jim Carrey was also dumbfounded. He had never thought that he would actually be able to receive this honor. Under the gazes of the crowd, he gradually covered his mouth, and a cicada-like hiss came from his throat, revealing the extreme turmoil in the depths of his heart.
For a long time, Jim Carrey did not go on stage.
"Me? Is it really me? "Jim Carrey spat out these words in a panic.
"In our survey, more than 76.3% of the audience gave you a perfect score of 10, and 94.2% of the audience gave you a score of 9 or above. Even if we remove the highest 40% and the lowest 40%, your average score is still as high as 9.4. "
"So, Mr. Jim Carrey, you are fully deserving of the title of Best Actor. Please come on stage to receive your award."
"Me? 9.4? " Jim Carrey pointed at his own nose. "The audience is willing to give me, this lunatic, this joke a score of 9.4?"
"Yes, this is the result of the audience's vote!" Brother Long repeated.
"Thank you! Thank you! " Jim Carrey did not care about his image anymore. His tears flowed uncontrollably, and then he walked on stage with even more hurried steps.
Speaking of which, Jim Carrey was actually an Oscar tragedy. He yearned for an Oscar, but had never won one.
But now, he had actually won the Golden Dragon Award, and he had even defeated the two movies, "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Lord of the Rings." This feeling of success was something Jin Kairi had never experienced before. It was no wonder that he was in tears.
However, Jim Carrey's award caused a lot of discussion in the audience.
"Why is it him? What right does he have to win the award?"
"That's right. I remember that the Best Actor in the previous Golden Dragon Awards was something called Silly Bean. This is too …"
"I suspect that Mr. Jia especially likes to watch comedies. Both of the Best Actors were born in comedies! "
A few of the foreign guests discussed animatedly. On the other side, many of the Hong Kong actors and actresses in the audience laughed. They privately said that if this continued, the next Best Actor in the Golden Dragon Awards would probably be Stephen Chow.
In the midst of the discussion, Jim Carrey walked up to the podium awkwardly and received the Golden Dragon Award trophy from Brother Long's hands, as well as a prize of 30 million USD.
This caused the discussion in the audience to become even louder. This also made Jim Carrey's face turn even paler. Was he really not worthy of this award?
"Mr. Jim Carrey? Do you know Mr. Jia? "Brother Long suddenly asked loudly.
"No?" Jim Carrey shook his head blankly.
"Then have you ever acted in a Daqian movie?" Brother Long asked again.
"No …"
"Then have you ever privately bribed Mr. Jia?" Brother Long asked again.
"Pfft …" Jim Carrey couldn't help but snort, then said helplessly, "I don't have the money to bribe Mr. Jia."
"That's right. You have nothing to do with the Daqian movie. Why would the Daqian give you the money and falsify the results for you?" Brother Long said with a smile. This sentence immediately supported Jim Carrey.
Yes, he knew very well that before attending the awards ceremony, he had nothing to do with the Daqian. The Daqian didn't have to falsify the results for him.
"Ladies and gentlemen? I know that you have doubts in your hearts. This is normal. Therefore, on behalf of the Daqian, I hereby announce that if anyone has any doubts about the results, they can go to the ballot box behind me and check every single ballot. "
"These ballots will be placed in a fixed location for the next year. If anyone is interested, they can be checked!" Brother Long said with a smile.
The audience immediately shut their mouths. They had no interest in checking every single ballot. There were hundreds of millions of ballots.
"Actually, this won't take much time. You can go and pick 100 ballots for 'The Truman Show' and calculate Mr. Jim Carrey's score. If his score is lower than 9, you can go to the media and expose us!" Brother Long's words made the audience completely silent.
"Everyone, I have something to say!" At this moment, a voice sounded in the auditorium. Everyone was very familiar with this voice. It was Spielberg's voice.
"I wholeheartedly approve of Mr. Jim Carrey's award!" Spielberg took the initiative to say, "Although Saving Private Ryan is my work, I have to admit that Mr. Jim Carrey's performance in 'The Truman Show' left a deep impression on me. It was definitely the most perfect performance. In the whole of 1998, there was no other work that could compare to it."
"In addition, I hope that everyone doesn't look at comedies with prejudice and think that comedies are mediocre works. The truth is the opposite. As filmmakers, we should make movies that the audience likes, and a movie that the audience likes is an excellent work. This is the core meaning of the Golden Dragon Award! "
['The Truman Show' is really good. I hope that those who haven't seen it can go and take a look. It's definitely amazing.]
