Rebirth: How A Loser Became A Prince Charming - Chapter 429

Chapter 429

"Wow! It's Qin Guan! He’s with Director Zhang!" the reporter murmured to himself as he looked at their backs . Another photographer, who had heard his words, craned his neck around .

"Dude, do you know that actor?"

The reporter began to introduce his compatriot proudly .

"Of course, he is one of the most famous top models in China . He has also acted in several good TV shows . His audience ratings were unparalleled . . . "

"Really?" The foreign reporter was surprised . The Chinese reporter had described Qin Guan like a superstar in China .

"Great!" The foreign reporter gave a thumbs-up to the reporter from Xinlang, who held his head high proudly . I may have added some things, but most of the things I told him were true .

By then, Qin Guan and Zhang Yimou had reached the background board and signed it .

"This way, please . " A security guard in a grey suit opened the gate at the end of the carpet for them . The stars could enter the guest area through that gate .

There was a curtain hanging before the entrance of the theater . Several iron rods were holding up a temporary ceiling, blocking the sunlight . Celebrities in expensive clothes were chatting in the small area .

There was also a big board, where the official Oscar media representatives were gathered . Only TV stations authorised with independent rebroadcasting rights were qualified to set up their cameras there .

The staff was still playing a game of running and chasing . They walked among the crowd, occasionally getting hold of some stars or celebrities .

Some famous directors had failed to escape and were standing in front of the tall golden figure, taking pictures for the press .

Following the guidance of the staff, Qin Guan and Director Zhang also stood by the splendid golden figure, which was about two meters tall . It was the first time Qin Guan felt the desire to take out his cell phone and take a picture .

Although he preferred indie films to commercial films, he was shocked by the atmosphere there . This was the capital of the film industry all over the world after all .

It was a pity that he hadn’t taken his cell phone with him . Sister Xue was standing behind the ropes . One day I, Qin Guan, will take pictures here with the golden statue! I will not be a guest, but a winner!

Qin Guan's ambition couldn't be concealed from Zhang, who also wanted desperately to win an Oscar .

After taking some photos, they retreated to the edge of the red carpet . They exchanged a glance with each other and cast a meaningful look at the golden statue .

Under the light of the setting sun, the guests entered the hall with their invitations .

The stage was decorated in baby blue and crystals, which made a sharp contrast with the red chairs and carpet under the stage .

When the audience was seated, Steve Martin, the host of the ceremony, mounted the stage with a serious expression .

"Before the grand award ceremony, all the actors and reporters should deliver a speech about the wrongful war . It is with heavy hearts that we have gathered here today for this award ceremony . It was not long ago that the war in Iraq broke out . "

He was right . At previous ceremonies, actresses had dressed up like peacocks . That day though, all the ladies were dressed in black or white . No one had dared wear jewellery . Thanks to Steve's humor, everyone eventually felt comfortable .

The first award winner was announced . The musical "Chicago" had beaten "Gangs of New York", "The Lord of the Rings II" and "The Pianist" and won the Oscar for Best Film .

The executive director of Miramax, an old man with grey hair, was smiling so happily that the wrinkles on his face seemed to form a flower .

Adrien Brody, the leading actor of "The Pianist" won the award for Best Actor . Holding the golden statue, he burst into tears on the stage .

The cameraman zoomed in on another nominee for the award . Nicholas Cage was smiling calmly . Even Qin Guan though, who was sitting in the back of the hall, could feel his disappointment .

As a skilled actor, an Oscar was his lifelong dream . It was also the dream of thousands of actors in the US . That small golden statue was their only aim . There were so many factors involved though, including the script, the director, the producer, the distributing company, the audience, the national policy, and so on . Of course, luck was the most important factor .

Qin Guan slowly let out a long breath . Suddenly, he saw Catherine Zeta-Jones walk on the stage .

The British woman, who had been criticized for using her body to her advantage, had finally received an acknowledgement of her talent . She hugged her husband excitedly as she accepted the award . Steve made a joke about feeling jealous .

"Film stars play all kinds of roles . I appreciate them, worship them, but also feel dissatisfied with them . For example, some of them only cooperate with their wives!"
