Chapter 2101： Thunderous applause

Charlize only felt that her muscles were tightened to the extreme, as if it was about to explode in the next second. This feeling made her only feel that her throat was hot, even if she swallowed saliva, it would not help.

Charlize looked around subconsciously, trying to find Hugo's figure, maybe seeing Hugo's mocking smile, she could return to normal. But the faces on the left and right were a little fuzzy, although she wasn't sure who they were—the brain was completely blank, but she knew that they weren’t Hugos.

Penetrating through the clumps of silhouettes, Charlize caught a dim sight. The warm eyes seemed to have a hint of gloat. "Look at your nervousness and embarrassment. It's really a mess." The sight is in the dim light and dense It is not obvious in the crowd, only vaguely noticed. But Charlize knew that it was him, it was Hugo, and that ridicule and mocking eyes were him, which made the smile at the corner of Charlize's mouth inexplicably outlined. She just wanted to give Hugo a middle finger.

Jack Nicholson stepped onto the stage and looked at Jack’s old naughty smile. Charlize’s tight shoulders began to relax inexplicably, and he let out a long breath, and he recovered to an unprecedented calm. As if she was just a bystander, she had nothing to do with these awards, and there was no herself in the list of nominees that appeared on the big screen—the bad special makeup did not look like herself. Thinking of this, Charlize felt a little joyful, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was lightly outlined.

However, the relaxation of the brain is not synchronized with the body, because Charlize can still feel the stiffness of the body's muscles and can hardly move. This feeling is really a bit weird, and Charlize starts to think seriously: If I won the prize, then forget it. , If I win the prize, but I can’t get up where I am, isn’t it embarrassing to be thrown home?

Jack stood on the stage and after introducing the candidates, he looked in the direction where Hugo was and smiled happily, as if to say, "How about it, are you nervous?"

In fact, Hugo was really nervous at this time, even more nervous than he was a candidate himself. The muscles all over his body are like a stone, there is no way to move at all, all the thoughts in the brain become a mass of paste. He was still thinking about turning his head to laugh at Charlize's stiffness, but at this time he himself was truly dumbfounded, he couldn't even smile.

Because Hugo knows what the "Girl. The Devil" means to Charlize. If you miss this time, no one knows when the next time will be. According to the historical trajectory, it is "Shakespeare's Love History". "Gwyneth won in the end. Therefore, Hugo is nervous, he is more nervous than anyone else. The hesitation between the known and the unknown almost suffocated him.

Even Tom, who was sitting next to him, noticed Hugo's tightness. He patted Hugo's arm lightly and asked with his eyes, "Are you okay?" Hugo only felt that his head was rusty. The robot, even a head-turning posture was extremely difficult, and finally pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying, which made Tom both stunned and funny.

"Let's skip those tedious stages. I know everyone cares about the results in my hands. In fact, I am more curious than you are, so..." Jack waved the red envelope in his hand, "I I don’t want to create suspense anymore, lest everyone suffer. I’m also curious to have a heart attack here.” Jack’s humor made the audience laugh.

Gwyneth is also laughing, but she is completely different from the smiles of other audiences around her. She is the little golden person who is welcoming her with a smile, just like a queen smiling on the throne and accepting the worship of her subjects. She is confident and elegant. His smile, as if accurately measured with a ruler, is perfectly like a mask.

Gwyneth is not nervous at all. On the contrary, she completely relaxes, because she is simulating her posture on the stage in her mind. This is the moment everyone in the world is paying attention to. She wants to show her best The perfect side, then gracefully stepped onto the stage. She has even begun to think about how she took the statuette from Jack, how to walk to the microphone, how to express her excitement, how to express her award-winning speech...

Award-winning testimonials, yes. Gwyneth put her right hand on the chair quietly, and put the completely soaked little note in her palm on the chair — she would never come on stage with the winning testimonial note, that's too It's shameful, not to mention that she has memorized this award-winning testimony countless times, and she can't go wrong.

Gwyneth thought about it again, and after confirming that everything was perfect, she breathed a sigh of relief. Lifting her head, Gwyneth saw Jack looking down at the card in the envelope. She adjusted her breathing and re-outlined the confident and calm smile: She was ready to take the stage to receive the award!

Jack looked down at the card in his hand, nodding his head while showing a look of research, and then said into the microphone, "Very well, I know the answer, so now, we can start chatting." All the people at the scene laughed, Charlize was also grinning, but she found that her "body" did not respond, and her facial expression had been completely stiff, which made Charlize a little frustrated—the body was also stiff. It's too shameful.

Jack raised the card in his hand, "The winner of the seventy-first Oscar, the best actress..." Jack looked down at the audience waiting for the result under the stage, showing a big surprise Smile, "Charlize Theron,'Female. Devil'."

"Boom", Hugo only felt that all the thoughts in his mind had exploded. He couldn't help holding the fists of his hands, venting his inner joy and happiness heartily. Many people around stood up one after another and began to applaud to express their congratulations, but there was a surprised sound amidst the applause, "Huh?"

Hugo raised his head and realized that he was blocked by the crowd. He looked back at Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and found that the expressions of the two were also a little unpredictable. Hugo stood up immediately and looked in the direction of Charlize. But Hugo saw Gwyneth at first glance.

Gwyneth took two steps forward, holding her skirt in both hands, with a perfect smile on her face. The camera recorded this scene truly-as if she were the winner. . But after two steps, Gwyneth realized that everyone around her was looking at her with surprise. She didn’t have time to think, so Bob walked up quickly and stood beside Gwyneth, almost A voice squeezed from the gap between the teeth, "It's not you!"

If Gwyneth was struck by lightning, she couldn't make any response at all. Then Gwyneth looked like a Barbie doll. Under Bob’s control, she turned her head and looked to the left, clapping vaguely, as if she had just stepped forward specifically for a better perspective. The real winners expressed their congratulations.

At this moment, Charlize sat on the chair completely, without any reaction at all, completely stunned. Sitting next to Meryl patted Charlize's arm, then gave her a big hug and reminded her in her ear, "My dear, congratulations, your performance is really wonderful!"

Charlize’s wandering soul returned to his body, but the muscles were already stiff and unable to move, which made Charlize curse in his heart, and said to himself, "Now it’s okay, you are like a fool. The same, I was so excited that I couldn't help myself, and then I was seen by everyone. Perfect, too perfect!"

Charlize finally recovered, gave Meryl a hug, and then stood up. But the first attempt was unsuccessful, and the whole person sank down again, which caused kind laughter in the hall. Charlize himself laughed unimaginatively and stood up again.

After two steps forward, Gwyneth took the initiative to step forward and gave Charlize a hug. This left Charlize at a loss-she obviously didn't notice the episode that happened just now. Gwyneth was clearly recovering at this time, trying to use this way to conceal her rudeness just now, but her stiff expression, stupid movements, and twisted eyes revealed the truest emotions in her heart.

She lost.

The best actress award is Charlize, not her. She could hardly believe this fact, but turned her head to look at Bob and Harvey The two people's faces were like roosters in disbelief, which completely destroyed Gwyneth's heart. The last line of defense, "No! It’s not like this! It shouldn’t be like this! I should be the one who won the prize. I should take the little golden man, mocking Hugo fiercely on Oscar night! Then look at Hugo. The arrogant expression became embarrassed!"

Charlize had already stepped forward again, leaving Gwyneth and Bob behind, stumbling onto the stage and taking the Golden Man from Jack. Jack gave Charlize a big hug and said enthusiastically in her ear, "It's an honor to be able to present you with an award."

Charlize only felt as if he was stepping on a cloud. The thunderous applause in front of him became a piece. After a long time, everyone had stood up. The black and pressed piece made it look like an endless ocean under the stage lights. The radiant light was boiling turbulently, so beautiful as if it were not real, like a dream that would never wake up. His feet couldn't step on the ground at all, there was nothing but nothingness. Then, Charlize saw Hugo's eyes in the crowd. The warm and hot sight was shining with crystal tears, staring at him motionlessly. The happiness was like an electric shock. It shot from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head. , Charlize finally wakes up completely.

It happened, and all this happened. She won the Oscar for Best Actress, and she won the second statuette in her career, and she was awarded the Queen of New Films!
