BXBX NOVEL Chapter 232
The filming of The Swan’s Dream lasted three full months.
After these three months, Huo Wu, who was already thin, grew a few points thinner.
But the light deep in her eyes was two points brighter.
Whether she could win the Best Actress Oscar this time was no longer very important for Huo Wu. In these three months, she had learned a lot, and these things could be useful in life.
On the day of the final scene, Huo Wu solemnly thanked Director Lin Yuan and Emma.
During these three months, they not only gave her a lot of useful advice but also plenty of help. She didn’t know if they were warm to her because of Huo Yusen, but that didn’t matter. They did everything they could to help her, so she sincerely thanked them.
When Emma heard Huo Wu’s thanks, she chuckled. She smiled mischievously, came to her ear, and whispered ambiguously in English, “I think, ah, the person you should thank the most is Huo Yusen, not us.”
Huo Wu smiled graciously. “I know.”
Emma did not expect Huo Wu to admit it so openly. She raised an eyebrow in surprise and then burst out laughing despite herself.
October 16th.
The Swan’s Dream was released in China.
December 18th.
The Swan’s Dream was released in the United States.
Once The Swan’s Dream was released, compliments rained down.
Although the heroine of the script, Qi Yuanmeng, had encountered a series of setbacks, she was strong, confident, and self-disciplined. She might have lived in poverty, but she still possessed a kind and grateful heart. She, too, wavered and was torn between reality and her dreams, but she received help from caring people from all over the country. True love exists in the world. True love exists on earth. As long as you had faith, then life would eventually reward you with beauty.
The last scene of the movie was when Qi Yuanmeng finally stepped on the stage of her dreams.
She was in tears and bowed deeply to the audience who applauded her.
Then, the whole drama drew to a close.
This movie had given courage to many young people of today, who were currently experiencing setbacks.
The transformation of an ugly duckling into a white swan was a long and difficult process. If you could get through it, then the person who succeeded in the transformation would see a new and beautiful landscape.
Many people went to the cinema, initially because of Lin Yuan and Emma’s names.
But when they arrived at the cinema and watched the entire movie, they were really fascinated by Qi Yuanmeng in the movie.
After watching, a well-known film critic published a review of The Swan’s Dream: “The greatest power in this world is love and perseverance.”
Love was the great thing given by those kindhearted people in the movie.
And persistence was all the sweat and tears Qi Yuanmeng paid to realize her dream.
Because Huo Wu starred in this film, she instantly became a big hit. Added to that, owing to the two names, Lin Yuan and Emma, tied together with hers, she established a certain degree of influence internationally.
After the release of The Swan’s Dream, the 90th American Academy Awards ceremony was held on the morning of February 27th of the next year in Los Angeles.
Huo Wu was dressed in a vermillion red gown, sitting in her nanny car. They were currently heading to the award venue.
When Huo Wu was looking at the scenery flashing by outside the window, the person beside her suddenly grasped her hand.
“Nervous?” Huo Yusen’s low voice rang in her ears.
Huo Wu shook her head. “Big Brother, coming here and participating is already too invaluable to me.” It was Huo Wu’s first time participating in this sort of award ceremony, so she deliberately added an accent to the word invaluable in an attempt to emphasize it.
She spoke with a shaky voice, not because of nervousness but because of excitement.
She never thought that she would end up being so close to so many famous Hollywood stars.
Huo Yusen raised his eyebrows. “Oh? Is attending an awards ceremony so invaluable?”
When Huo Wu heard his question, she immediately threw herself into his arms, as pleased as punch. She didn’t know what he had to be jealous of with an award ceremony. She hurriedly raised her hand and upheld her devotion. Looking him in the eyes, she said in an extra serious tone, “Big Brother, for me, you are the most precious in this world.”
Her eyes were clean and pure.
The solemnity in them was very moving.
Huo Yusen froze. Slowly, he hooked his lips and printed a kiss on Huo Wu’s forehead. “Me too.”
You are the most precious.
Everything in the world is far inferior to you.
Huo Wu’s seat was next to Emma. Emma was enthusiastic, and as soon as she took her seat, Emma leaned over and asked, “Are you nervous?”
Today, she was the nth person who asked this question. Huo Yusen, her agent, and her cousins, Yu Xinxin…
Huo Wu honestly shook her head. “No.” From the bottom of Huo Wu’s heart, she felt that she had caught up with the others this time.
Didn’t a famous Hollywood actor work for many years and win the Best Actor only last year?
Today was her first time participating in a film festival of this caliber, so she wasn’t expecting to win an award at all.
The Oscars were composed of quite a few awards: Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Actress…
Huo Wu looked at the famous celebrities she had only seen before in videos and on the Internet and felt that this experience was very novel. She was watching them from the audience for now, but one day, she too would stand on that highest stage. Just as how the heroine, Qi Yuanmeng, in The Swan’s Dream fulfilled her dream, she, too, would live her dream.
