570: Chapter 570 MAGA!

Just how fluent and vivid was Lin Chuyan's acceptance speech?

He first took everyone on a trip down memory lane, emphasizing just how awesome musicals used to be;

Then, he stated his resolve, sharing that he had set his ambition to film musicals when he was young;

He then spoke of his sorrow over the loss of the glory of musicals, and his determination to restore their brilliance;

Subsequently, he recounted the arduous journey of filming 'la la land', yet he never gave up on his dream;

Finally, he issued a deafening rallying cry: "To restore the glory of musicals is our bounden duty!"

Clear logic, intense emotion, a powerful sense of immersion, and immense persuasiveness.

If you asked Lin Chuyan how to translate the phrase "To restore the glory of musicals," he would tell you it should be translated as "Make musicals great again."

To sum it up in one sentence: "Make Artfilm-Musical great again!"

MAGA!

It was more exciting than anything, more burning than all the tedious thanking of this person and that person tonight.

This wasn't just an acceptance speech; it was clearly a passionate, stirring address—a dimensionality reduction strike from the mysterious Eastern power. After all that, who wouldn't be dazed?

If you still don't understand what it means to be "stunned," just look at the people in the American entertainment industry shown in the livestream.

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap— Thunderous applause instantly erupted within the venue.

Many were the first to stand up, expressing their respect for Lin Chuyan with the warmest applause. Soon, everyone, moved by the sentiment, stood up one after another, offering their most enthusiastic applause to this young director from the Chinese Entertainment Industry.

The crowd's emotions were complex and intense.

Some felt ashamed: the past glory of musicals was now being inherited and revived by a young man from China. As local filmmakers, they really couldn't say much and could only express themselves through applause.

Some felt invigorated: Lin Chuyan's speech and actions showed them the responsibility and pursuit of a true filmmaker. In this film industry filled with commercialism, that someone could still strive tirelessly for the purity of art and the revival of a film genre undoubtedly acted as a shot of adrenaline for them.

Some felt admiration: from the tight capital chain to the fires in Los Angeles, from the hardship of traveling long distances to Hollywood to the repeated failures and persistence during the filming of the Long take. Lin Chuyan's spirit is worth learning from for every filmmaker.

The artists present were a bit better off. But for the judges who gave 'la la land' seven wins out of seven nominations at the Golden Globe Awards, wasn't the reason they liked this film precisely because, at a time when the musical market was increasingly declining, 'la la land' brought new hope for the development of musicals?

Therefore, when Lin Chuyan stood on stage, high-spirited, calling out for musicals, the strong reaction of these people was not hard to understand: Well said, very well said! Lin Chuyan is truly worthy of the title of "Best Director"! This Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy was well-deserved!

The young women watching the livestream had a different feeling: This man is so handsome!

They had seen plenty of handsome men and beautiful women, but when such an Eastern face, holding a trophy of the highest honor, stood on the globally watched stage of the Golden Globe Awards, delivering such a passionate speech, and then receiving countless applause… this strong sense of contrast, this unique exotic charm, and the confident radiance emanating from Lin Chuyan… instantly struck the hearts of countless young girls.

'la la land', right? I don't think I've bought a ticket yet. Buying it now, must buy!

And the media, with their sharp sense of smell, had already produced a large number of news reports surrounding Lin Chuyan and 'la la land'.

Lin Chuyan and 'la la land' once again became the focus of global cinema and fans.

After the awards ceremony ended, Lin Chuyan met some more friends from the American entertainment industry and exchanged contact information.

Many artists, upon learning that he would continue to come to Hollywood to film, took the initiative to show goodwill toward him and expressed their hope for cooperation opportunities—after all, this was a genius director who could produce Best Actors and Best Actresses, and he had great authority on set, not overly restricted by producers… How could they not try to curry favor?

Lin Chuyan smiled, accepting all overtures from those who showed goodwill, telling everyone he met to "keep in touch."

He wasn't just being perfunctory; he genuinely felt that he might need them later, as he would still need to audition many supporting roles for his next film.

After finishing this round of socializing, Lin Chuyan hadn't even had a chance to rest before being surrounded by a group of reporters.

Unexpectedly, the reporters asked another question: "Director Lin, the global box office for 'la la land' has officially broken 3.5 billion! Do you have anything you want to say about this?"

Yes, this group of reporters had received the news earlier than Lin Chuyan, who was attending the awards ceremony. On the sixth night of the official release of 'la la land', the box office finally broke the 3.5 billion mark!

Everyone also knew that Lin Chuyan's 'la la land' was not just a film work, but a knife swung at the capital circle of the Chinese Entertainment Industry. Now this knife had finally fallen, striking the opponent's head, killing them with one blow.

Hearing the question, Lin Chuyan wasn't in a hurry to answer, but looked at Emily—who nodded at him.

Very good, it seems someone hasn't even passed their seventh day after death. Lin Chuyan had made a decision in his heart: Then… in front of the whole world, let's bury Director Deng Yu completely!

Lin Chuyan spoke: "Yes, we do have a bet!"

Director Lin was very domineering: "3.5 billion means one thing, and that is that Director Deng Yu, who made a bet with me back then, must retire from the industry. He must take his big trash film 'the play' and those film reviews he dragged out to forcibly hype it, and disappear from my sight. Immediately, right now, at this very moment. From now on, I do not wish to hear this person's name in the entertainment industry ever again."

Well, it was just that blunt; it was no different from pointing at Director Deng Yu's nose and cursing.

But you have to admit, sometimes you have to speak like this for people to understand, so that no one will misinterpret a single bit.

The reporter was clearly full of interest in this topic: "We all know that this is your revenge against capital. Now that you have avenged yourself, do you have anything else you want to say?"

Of course he did; Lin Chuyan would naturally not let go of this excellent opportunity.

"If someone asks me why I would bet my future just to make Director Deng Yu retire, what is the meaning of this? I want to tell everyone: This is a victory, but this is not just my personal victory; this is a victory that belongs to each and every one of us. Because through this incident, we have all understood one truth: it turns out that we have the ability to defeat capital. Here, I would like to share a quote with you, which was said by a great man of our country: Starfire can start a prairie fire."

This was a seed; whether it could be planted or not, he didn't know.

Lin Chuyan indicated that he had done his best. As for the wisdom of the great man, you people of America can slowly ponder it! If you can figure it out, then the Luigi incident won't have been in vain.

Leaving the reporters lost in thought, Lin Chuyan walked away.

However, this matter was not over yet—he naturally had to take care of things back home; it was time to put on a big show.

He took out his mobile phone, logged into Weibo, and didn't type any text.
