822 is just the beginning

Reincarnation, this is a reincarnation.

A year ago, Lance was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor by "Borrowing a Knife", and his amazing performance won a lot of applause, but at the award ceremony, Lance finally lost to the strong Morgan Freeman; a year later, Lance was once again shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actor Little Golden Man with "Fruit Hard Candy". The halo of director nomination for three consecutive years covered up the surprise of being shortlisted for the acting department for two consecutive years. The performance that has been famous in history was deeply imprinted in 2005. This time, there was no vote for respecting the elderly, and after experiencing the ups and downs of awards season, Lance finally stood on the podium.

The figure in the spotlight makes people unable to move their eyes away.

The decent and generous smoky gray suit stands out easily among men in black and white, and will not be too ostentatious, but not too mediocre. The elegant temperament that is settled in every move is even more intoxicating. There is no need for extra movements. Just holding the little golden man in his hand, standing in front of the microphone, the smile at the corner of his mouth reflected in the brightness of his eyes, and even the spotlight seemed to be indifferent.

"When I was transferring at Heathrow Airport yesterday, a young girl kept looking at me with doubt, especially the lower part of my body. In the end, she couldn't help but come forward and asked me, 'How are you?' The confused gaze was always focused on the sensitive parts, which made me feel a little embarrassed." Lance's voice was filled with a smile, and combined with his bright eyes, there was a sense of absurd and unruly joy. The chuckle sounded again, "I don't know how to answer so that I won't look too obscene. So, today, I want to say, 'I'm fine, yes, I'm still there'."

After this line without end came out, the audience burst into laughter and applause thundered. Even the audience sitting in front of the TV had a lot of laughter and laughed backwards, but more people were still confused. They obviously had never seen "Fruit Hard Candy". At this moment, they could only look confused, "What exactly happened?"

The curve of the corner of Lance's mouth also gently outlined, "I think it was this moment that made me realize that my work was rewarding." He nodded slightly, "I remember when the 'Fruit Hard Candy' was premiered, a reporter once asked me this question, 'Why did you choose such a work, such a role?'" Lance's award speech was really different, and the ups and downs were full of suspense, which was unpredictable. "I clearly remember that my answer at that time was, 'I don't think I am an actor with the right to choose.'" After saying that, Lance shrugged gently, and a chuckle sounded again on the scene. Everyone could hear that Lance was teasing himself, "Fruit Hard Candy" was just his second work; at the same time, Lance was also boasting about himself, but the second work won the height that many actors have been working hard all their lives.

"I don't need to deal with the media now, so I think it's time to tell the truth." As soon as the words finished, the laughter and applause of the audience were in chaos, and the reporters who stayed in the media center started to cheer. Many people had helpless smiles on their faces, "The little episode at Heathrow Airport is the reason. Of course, I'm not referring to this problem..." Lance did not continue. The sudden blank made the laughter at the scene completely lose control. Many people shook their heads and applauded.

"Injecting the soul into the characters, becoming part of the story, and becoming part of people's lives is an honor as an actor." Lance did not lose control and said slowly, "When studying performance in the academy, Professor Hilwen once said that the ultimate goal of each actor should be to become a performer who can perform all roles. I always think this is a difficult height, but now I can say the least, Professor, I have accomplished one of the goals." While speaking, he used his free left hand to draw a checking gesture in the air, as if saying, "Abnormal, complete."

The applause and laughter sounded again, but Lance did not continue to say anything more. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the little golden man in his hand, then raised it to the height of shoulders, waved it gently, and said in a strange language in a deep voice, "i." After saying that, Lance turned around and made a gentleman invitation move, allowing Nicole Kidman to walk ahead, and then left the stage together with steady steps.

It was Latin, a language that every person must learn in the British Orthodox Academy of Acting. "i" comes from Caesar, "I have been here, I have seen, I have conquered." In the distant time, it was this sentence that made all the conquered people frightened and all the later conquerors excited.

No one expected that Lance would end the entire award speech with such a sentence, underestimating but heroic!

But no one would question Lance's ability. Whether it was last year's "killing with a knife" or this year's "hard fruit candy", Lance has delivered amazing and exciting performances, illuminating the entire Hollywood like a comet. If it weren't for Morgan Freeman's last chance to win the award last year, Lance would have the ability to win the acting skills of Little Golden Man for two consecutive years. These two works are Lance's only performance works, not to mention that Lance is only in his early thirties and is still a bit far from the peak of the actor's performance. It is impossible to imagine how many exciting performances Lance will contribute in the future.

More importantly, before he knew it, Lance had set records and made history. After harvesting tonight's Best Supporting Actor Little Golden Man, he became the second person in Oscar history to win both actor and screenwriter awards after Emma Thompson.

In the history of the film industry, there has never been a shortage of geniuses who have multiple responsibilities. Among them, there are countless people who have won trophies for director and screenwriter. However, as an actor, it is extremely difficult to get the Little Golden Man in the two departments of performance and screenwriter at the same time. The main reason is that the screenwriter is in two completely different fields. Even Woody Allen was unable to create this record. It was not until Emma Thompson's victory that filled this gap.

Before the award ceremony tonight, almost no one noticed this detail. On the one hand, "Fruit Hard Candy" is just Lance's second work, and his actor talent almost emerged as a meteor; on the other hand, it is because Lance has achieved too much success as a director. The collision of talent and fantasy ideas has given his works profound humanistic care and wonderful visual effects, so that people will involuntarily ignore his screenwriter skills; on the other hand, because of the melee of this year's awards season, almost no one can be sure that the best supporting actor will slip into someone's house, and the result is that people have forgotten this historical record.

Until now, quietly, Lance became the second person in history and the first male actor to achieve such a success. This is really interesting, isn’t it? As a producer and director, Lance has not yet been able to stand on the highest podium; but as a screenwriter and as an actor, Lance has left his name in history and created a record that Woody Allen has not been able to achieve.

Everything seems to prove that Lance's confidence is not arrogant, and the Little Golden Man tonight is just a starting point.

"I've been here, I've seen, I've conquered." The domineering in the calm and gentle wind revealed Lance's confidence, pride and strength to the fullest. It can be foreseen that the era of Lance is magnificently unfolding. But more importantly, this is Lance's declaration of war on the entire Hollywood, and the grievances that have continued throughout the awards season have officially come to an end with the announcement of the best supporting actor. Now it's time to settle the accounts.

Life is composed of countless choices. Everyone makes choices every moment, the right and wrong deviations, but one thing is the same. Everyone must bear the consequences of their choices, just like Jeff in "Fruit Hard Candy". Now, the time has come.

Lance had left the stage, but the restlessness inside the Kodak Theater never stopped. Until Jon stepped onto the stage again, people were still whispering. As the meaning of this sentence gradually opened up, everyone had a different attitude, disdain, mocked, disgusted, amazement, responded, and praised... The meticulous reaction was like ripples, fainting gently, and no one could be an exception.

George sat up straight again, raised his chin proudly, maintaining an elegant demeanor. Even if he failed, he would hold his head up to meet his failure. What's more, this was just an Oscar-like little golden man, far from the end of the world. It was not that easy for Lance to defeat him.

Thinking of this, George stood up straight again, and his waist began to moan with a vague pain, but George did not relax at all, as if he was the winner. However, the coldness of his feet was slowly penetrated into his bones, and his whole body was cold. He could not even feel the temperature of the blood. He felt like he was soaking in the Arctic Ocean, and a bitterness of death slowly spread out on the tip of his tongue.

He could clearly feel that several gazes fell on his shoulders one after another, full of sympathy and pity, as if comforting a wrecked dog. These gazes almost burned his shoulders, but he turned a deaf ear, as if he hadn't noticed them at all, and his backbone was staring straight at the stage, as if the most exciting performance in the world was being performed there.

He is not a loser, he is not a loser, he is not!

The elegant smile curve of the corner of the mouth was like a torn wound, dripping blood, but George didn't care at all, gently hooked the corner of his mouth up again, piercing his heart.
