496 I can't help myself
"You will never fucking get an Oscar! Your performance just now is a piece of dog/shit! If you insist on not leaving your comfort zone, then you can get out of the crew now! I can contact Leonardo DiCaprio immediately. ¢£ Get out! Get out! You are a fucking coward! Coward!"
The heart was beating wildly, constantly pounding Tom's eardrum like a pile driver, shaking and echoing. Suddenly, the chaotic brain awakened every bit of memories, and those fragments that once thought had happened to be so vivid at this time.
When Lance came to the door with the script "Borrowing a Knife and Killing" and claimed that he had targeted the Oscar Little Golden Man. His first reaction was that he was overestimating his ability and bragging so much that he was so ridiculous that he was not angry at all, but only thought it was ridiculous, just like watching a circus performance; after "Borrowing a Knife and Killing" was put into filming, Lance was very dissatisfied with his performance, and the two sides had a direct conflict. In Lance's roar, he was angry
The situation was completely suppressed, and Terrence Cox even advised him to breach the contract directly. For a short fifteen-second scene, Lance blew up thirty-seven times. Just for his dissatisfaction with his expression details, the entire shooting repeated over and over again. Lance kept hitting his self-confidence, causing him to collapse, and then re-establishing confidence and investing in the shooting. After being dissatisfied, he started over and over again, making him think that it was hell, darkness.
The pictures were so clear that they flashed through my mind quickly, and the mixed emotions were almost unspeakable. The nervous emotions were like spider webs, firmly suffocating to the peak and letting the whole person enter a vacuum state, as if they were mummies, their whole body was tightly bound, and even a finger could not move.
"Coward! You're a fucking coward!" The shouts exploded on the eardrum like thunder, making the blood boil, but they couldn't find the outlet for catharsis. They just rushed in their chest, causing Tom to have the illusion that he was about to explode.
Suddenly, the world became quiet, extremely quiet, and even the sound of breathing disappeared. The strong contrast of extreme noisy to extreme silence created an illusion of time being still.
"The winner of the 77th Academy Awards is Tom Cruise, 'Killing someone by borrowing a knife'."
The sound echoed in the silent space, so clear but so blurry, with an unreal sense of nothingness, like a drumstick, hitting Tom's eardrum hard. Suddenly, all his strength was drained, and he was slumped on the chair. Before he could react, his emotions swept over like a tsunami, swallowing him. The dull suffocation made his eyes warm. He leaned on the back of the chair in a mess, and even forgot to wipe the tears at the corners of his eyes.
Unpopular, absolutely unpopular!
Although Tom and Leonardo were divided into two parts during the awards season, and Jamie was even more eyeing him, overall, Tom's voice was the weakest - the commercial attribute of "killing with a knife" not only affected the film's further advancement in the awards season, but also affected Tom's position in the battle for actors.
The Golden Globes ignored Tom and "killing with a knife". Although they won the North American Radio and Film Critics Association Award and the British Academy of Film and Television Art Award, as the weather vane, as well as two major film critics on the East Coast, Tom was the weaker side in this bayonet battle: his advantages were almost offset by Leonardo, and his disadvantages were almost completely defeated by Jamie. In any aspect, he was in an unfavorable position.
Most importantly, the Actors Union Award, which occupied nearly half of the judges, chose Jamie Fox! This almost equals to winning the number one center for the battle for the best actors, and its importance is nothing like the Normandy landing. However, the one who laughed to the end was Tom. It was not Leonardo or Jamie, but Tom. Even if this is an important part of the three-legged stalemate, this can definitely be called a shocking and unpopular! The most exciting unpopular tonight!
This also means that after the American Actors' Union Awards began to be awarded in 1995, the first six best actor winners were completely consistent with the Oscars, but there have been upset for five consecutive years!
In 2000, Benicio Del Toro of the Drug Network did not even win the nomination, and Russell Crow of the Gladiator won; in 2001, Russell Crow of the "Beautiful Heart" lost to Denzel Washington of the "Training Day"; in 2002, Daniel Day Lewis of the "New York Gangster" witnessed Adrian Brody relied on "pianist" to become the first actor in film history to top the Oscar before the age of 30; in 2003, "Pirates of the Caribbean" made Johnny Depp win the love of the Actors Union, but Sean Penn of the "Mysterious River" laughed to the end at the Oscar.
In other words, since the new century, the differences between the American Actors' Union and the Oscars over the actors' heroes have been continued again!
"Congratulations! Tom, congratulations!", "Ahhh, Tom, you won the award." "You deserve it, it's what you deserve!"... Countless sounds poured down like a waterfall, hitting Tom's head hard, causing dizziness, and then countless hands reached over, slapped every part of his body enthusiastically and excitedly, but he couldn't feel the pain, just a burst of heaven and earth.
He won the award. He won the award. He won the Best Actor Little Golden Man.
This thought suddenly rushed into his head, causing Tom to start trembling all over, and his brain issued an instruction: Calm, you should be calm, keep graceful, keep etiquette, keep handsome, keep decent. But his body made a completely different reaction. He supported the back of the chair and tried to stand up, but his hands softened, and he fell down again, feeling embarrassed, but he didn't have time to think, and stood up again, then penetrated the surging crowd and tried to find a figure.
Leonardo stood not far away with a decent smile, slapped his hands, and the perfect smile could not find any flaws; Jamie let out a long breath, walked towards Tom, and gave a thumbs up, but the loss and regret between his eyebrows could not be concealed, and even the smile could not be squeezed out; Tang was directly overwhelmed by the crowd, and could only see one head, and no expression...
Found.
Lance stood beside Martin, clapping politely with his hands, and a satisfied smile filled the corners of his mouth. Due to the huge height difference between the two, Lance bent down, turned sideways, and said a few words to Martin; Martin chuckled with a hint, shook his head, turned around and said a few words to Lance, and the two smiled tacitly.
Tom pushed away the crowd in front of him, stared at Lance's figure intently, his eyes flashed with hazy tears, and two big strides passed through the middle aisle flooded by the crowd, then passed over Martin, and gave Lance a big hug directly.
Lance was applauding, and unexpectedly saw Tom's figure suddenly enlargement. Before he could react, Tom was hugged hard. Tom heard his ears, "I did...I did...I did...I did..." There was only one sentence, but it contained thousands of words, bitter and sweet, hard and wonderful.
Lance obviously did not expect such a development trajectory - Tom lost his attitude in public in his entire career, and he could count it with one hand. He did not expect that Tom seemed so panicked and out of control today.
Martin was pushed aside by Tom, caught off guard. After getting out of the way, he looked up and saw Lance's confused expression, and he couldn't help laughing.
But if you think about it carefully, the shooting process of "killing with a knife" is so difficult, and Tom can be said to be forced to the extreme; if you think about it carefully, how powerful the competitors Tom faces tonight are, with Leonardo in front and Jamie in the back, it can almost be said to have a bloody path... Then Tom's loss of control is understandable.
Lance patted Tom on the back and said with a chuckle, "You deserve it!"
Tom let go of Lance, showed a bright smile, wiped the tears at the corners of his eyes in panic, and tidied up his demeanor in a hurry, and then slowly walked onto the stage with the support of the crowd. Lance looked at Tom's back and could clearly feel that Tom's steps were chaotic and frivolous, and his inner emotions were still difficult to calm down. Until he walked up the stage steps, his steps gradually stabilized.
Not just Tom, even for Lance, Tom's victory is a milestone.
Under the direction of Lance, Tom exuded the second vitality of his acting career, which almost made everyone admire him. "Borrowing a knife to kill people" witnessed Lance's control over the film's works and thoughts, and also witnessed Lance's ability to train actors. This is really valuable for a director; not to mention, this also means that Chaos Pictures has won Oscars for the second consecutive year. For a film production company that has been established for less than three years, it is definitely more than "conspicuous".
For Lance, the most important thing is to defeat Jamie Fox to win this award. The wheel of history once again deviates from the original track. Lance, a butterfly from Amazon, is working hard to create hurricanes in his own way, firmly holding his destiny in his own hands.
When Tom walked onto the stage, the Kodak Theater welcomed the honor of standing up for the fourth time tonight to applause. Similar to Morgan, Tom almost said that the most representative identifier of Hollywood in the past twenty years has always been carrying the burden of idols, but he never gave up on the road to seeking recognition of acting. The image of a tragic hero is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, from commercial film to artistic recognition. This road is long and difficult, and it almost makes people think that there is no end to see. But tonight, Tom finally broke the shackles of idols, finally reached the end, and stood on the highest podium of the Oscars. This was a shocking victory.
After taking the Little Golden Man Trophy from Charlize, Tom touched the trophy with love and wanted to take a good look at the trophy, but the thunderous applause could not stop. It lasted for two minutes until Tom spoke, he still couldn't stop.
"Thank you, thank you." Tom said, but one sentence caused the applause to sound again, interrupting his words, which made Tom's emotions fluctuate again, with crystal tears flashing at the corners of his eyes. Such a fragile and sensitive image completely made people re-recognize this top superstar who has been in the film industry for 20 years.
