After a while, Li Yange and the other two men tidied up their clothes and went on stage. The guests who came from the stage to participate in the David Awards also gave warm applause.

Under the award presentation guests arranged by the organizer, the three of them each received a trophy with the English names of the three people engraved below.

The host led the three of them to the front stage, first said it in Italy, then turned to English and asked: "Congratulations on winning the Best Music Award. I wonder what you said to everyone?"

David Byrne was not nervous, so he walked to the microphone first and said in English: "It's great. Until now, I can't believe that I am standing on the stage of receiving the prize, holding the trophy I just received..."

Then came Ryuichi Sakamoto, who said roughly the same as David Byrne, thanking someone for giving them this award.

Finally, it was Li Yange's turn. Although he had thought of a speech about winning the award before he came, he really stepped onto the stage and looked at the group of foreign faces below the stage, his mind was empty.

Until Ryuichi Sakamoto gently pushed him, Li Yange came to his senses and subconsciously said in Chinese: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm so happy. Thank you for the David Award for this award. I'm very happy to win this honor. Here I have to thank the director Mr. Bettorucci, Ms. Ning Ying, and my teacher Professor Du..."

"Ahem..."

Seeing that Li Yange stopped talking, the host coughed: "Okay, thank you three wonderful speeches for your award. I think they were all very excited, especially Mr. Li. Although I don't understand what he said, I think his country is enough to feel proud at this moment! The winner of the Best Music Award, who is only twenty years old, has set a new record of the minimum age winner of the David Award!"

Seeing the host talking endlessly, Li Yange's head was confused. He just paused for a moment and hadn't finished speaking yet!

Ning Ying, who could understand Italian from the audience, was also amused and crying when she saw Li Yange with a dull face on the stage. She never expected that Li Yange would express her gratitude in Chinese on the stage.

But halfway through the conversation, because of a pause, the host who didn't understand mistakenly thought that he had finished speaking, which was a bit embarrassing.

Chen Chong on the side frowned and said, "Sister Ning, why did the host interrupt the host before Li Yange finished speaking?"

Zunlong and Wu Junmei, who were sitting around, looked unhappy. In their opinion, Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Byrne had finished speaking thank you words before, but now Li Yange was obviously interrupted halfway through the speech. This was not only an impolite behavior, but also made them more careful.

"It's not the host's fault."

Ning Ying smiled bitterly: "You don't understand the Italian language spoken by the host, and he doesn't understand Chinese. When he just gave the thanks, Yan Ge paused for a moment, and the host thought the speech was over, so he stepped forward to interrupt."

After listening to Ning Ying's end, Chen Chong and the other two were stunned and then smiled bitterly. Yes, except for them, none of them could understand Chinese. They knew that Li Yange had something to say behind him, but the host couldn't hear it.

At this time, Li Yange and the other two walked over from the backstage.

"Li Yange, show me the trophy!"

Chen Chong immediately picked up Li Yange's trophy and looked carefully. This was a golden little man with a hat on his head and fluffy curly hair. He held a long sword on his upper right, and underneath was a square green green table.

"Why did you give such a trophy?"

Seeing the golden, naked trophy all over, even the ** parts were clearly carved, Chen Chong frowned, and was very confused.

Ning Ying explained: "This trophy is inspired by the famous sculpture "David" by sculptor Donatello, which is very famous in Italy."

"All right."

When he heard that it was a well-known sculpture from Italy, Chen Chong played with it for a while and returned the trophy to Li Yange enviously: "Congratulations to Yange."

"Thank you." Li Yange smiled and took the trophy, then Ning Ying said: "Yange, the host on the stage did not deliberately interrupt you just now, because he couldn't understand Chinese. He didn't know that you hadn't finished speaking yet, but he just thought that you were over the speech."

"I guessed it."

Li Yange shook his head and said he didn't care. Although he was a little surprised on the stage just now, he probably guessed on the way back from the stage that it was because he had paused for a long time.

After all, there is no Chinese translation on site. If the other party doesn't understand, it's normal to see that he doesn't speak for a while, and mistakenly think that it's normal to finish the speech.

Upon hearing this, Ning Ying turned to look at Wu Junmei: "I'll see if Junmei's best supporting actress can win the award later."

As soon as these words were said, Chen Chong and Zunlong looked at Wu Junmei with envious eyes. There were eight nominations for the Italian David Awards, and there were only two of them related to the actors, namely Wu Junmei's Best Supporting Actress and the British actor Peter Otto who played the emperor's foreign teacher.

"I hope I can win the award."

Wu Junmei squeezed out a smile. She was very nervous now. Unlike Li Yange and Bettorucci who revealed the news in advance, there was no news at all for her Best Supporting Actress Award. Judging from this situation, it is likely that it is impossible to win the award.

In fact, as Wu Junmei thought, the Best Supporting Actress Award was won by Elena Sophia Richie in the Italian comedy movie "Me and My Sisters".

This is also normal. Wen Xiu, played by Wu Junmei, has only been added in less than five minutes in the movie. In addition to the scene where three people fight Landlords, they will appear in a surprise glance.

In contrast, during his youth Puyi, Peter Otto, a foreign teacher, had a lot more scenes, and he appeared almost half an hour long, so Peter Otto successfully won the Best Supporting Actor Award.

It was several days later when the news came back to China.

Due to the underdeveloped media at this time, there are no journalists in China who have been sent to Italy. They are also a consul in the Chinese Consulate in Milan. When reading the newspaper in the morning, they saw an article on the news about the Chinese composer Li who won the David Award for Best Music Award.

Afterwards, the consul was overjoyed and quickly sent someone to send a telegram to the country to report the good news.

After receiving the telegram, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed with the consulate in Milan over and over again. After confirming that it was a Chinese, someone asked someone to investigate.

It was discovered that this Li was Li Yange, who was previously reported by the People's Daily and was nominated for Best Composer for the Oscar.

When the news reached the ears of the editor-in-chief of Xinhua Daily, he was afraid that the People's Daily would take the lead in publishing, so he stepped up someone to write an article, which was sent to the printing factory that night to make people type.

The next morning.

There is an additional photo of Li Yange wearing a suit on the front page of Xinhua Daily:

"Warm congratulations to our outstanding young composer Li Yange, who won the Best Music Award at the 32nd Italian David Awards ceremony on February 21, 1988.

The Italian David Award, also known as the Italian Film Academy Award, is sponsored by the Italian Film Academy and is the highest-level annual film award in the Italian film industry.

The fact that our country’s outstanding young composer Li Yange can win this honor all reflects that our country’s youth are gradually entering the international stage…”
