China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 438 436. I actually won the award?

In Los Angeles, there was a huge crowd around the Kodak Theater, and the crowds were surging like waves, screaming and cheering one after another.

Although there is a special passage, there are too many people attending the ceremony. Cao Yu's car has not arrived at the award ceremony venue yet and is waiting in line.

In the car, Xu Jing looked at Cao Yu's outfit and praised, "Junior, you look more energetic in this suit than before!"

"Then, how could Sister Xu Jing like me if I didn't?"

Cao Yu smiled and was about to hug this sexy sister.

"Don't move around, your clothes will get wrinkled soon."

Xu Jing patted Cao Yu's hand and looked expectantly at the theater not far away.

To some extent, the three words "Oscar" already symbolize the highest honor in the entire film industry.

If Cao Yu can really win the Oscar tonight, his reputation will be even higher in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Mainly, he's still so young.

Cao Yu's appearance order is arranged in the middle part.

When his car arrived in front of the red carpet, Cao Yu stepped out of the car, and the reporters around him immediately started shooting at this Chinese screenwriter whose recent movies have been hits.

Cao Yu had experienced this kind of thing before. He ignored these people and reached out his hand like a gentleman to pull Xu Qing down.

There were many cameras around, and Xu Qing didn’t know which lens would broadcast her live, so she had to remain elegant throughout.

There were a lot of people at the scene, and as far as you could see, they were all celebrities.

Although Cao Yu, who is only a screenwriter, usually does not receive much attention from reporters, it is a pity that Cao Yu also has another identity, that is, a Chinese tycoon and the founder of Fei'e Video.

This status alone allowed him to get many shots.

After walking on the red carpet for a while, I was stopped by a host who appeared out of nowhere: "Mr. Cao, can I interview you?"

"can."

Although Cao Yu wanted to enter the venue early, he also knew that the interview was inevitable.

With Cao Yu's permission, a camera immediately focused on the three of them.

"Hello everyone, I am with Mr. Cao, who was nominated for this year's Best Screenplay Award, and his beautiful partner."

After the host spoke to the camera, he said to Cao Yu: "Mr. Cao, can you introduce your partner? I heard that you still have scripts to shoot in Hollywood. Is she the future female lead?"

"My partner, Ms. Xu, is an excellent actor in China with more than 20 years of performance experience. We have a good relationship in China, so she accompanied me to this award ceremony."

Cao Yu praised Xu Qing in front of the camera.

Sure enough, when Xu Qing heard this, she looked at Cao Yu a little differently.

"I see."

The host also nodded: "Ms. Xu, you look very beautiful in your outfit today. If you have the opportunity in the future, will you come to Hollywood to develop?"

"Will do."

Xu Jing nodded, and then added: "But it depends on him to have a good script."

"Mr. Cao is indeed an excellent screenwriter."

The host said in agreement and asked Cao Yu: "Mr. Cao, will you develop in the United States in the future?"

"I will still be in China, and I will bring more Chinese movies here."

"What are your plans for this year?"

"This year's plan is already in the process of filming. Maybe I will come back next year."

"I didn't expect Mr. Cao to be so confident. Thank you for accepting the interview."

The host looked at the confident Cao Yu with some admiration. Who made this man rich?

After the interview, the two walked towards the venue. When they took photos at the door, Xu Jing's cheongsam outfit really attracted the attention of many foreigners.

Everyone likes to look at beautiful women, but not every foreigner likes to squint.

Entering the venue, the two of them sat in the arranged seats under the guidance of the staff.

At this time, there is still more than half an hour before the ceremony.

Xu Jing looked at the most famous ceremony in the film industry, and then said with a smile: "What I just said is good, I am very confident. Who will you bring next year?"

"do not know yet."

In fact, Cao Yu knew that if he came tomorrow, he would definitely bring Liu Yifei with him, but he couldn't say this.

Although I made an agreement with Xu Qing whether to get married or not, women are very jealous. What should I do if I say that I am jealous?

Xiangshan Film and Television City.

"Look, the boss is out!"

Someone saw Cao Yu coming out on the screen and couldn't help shouting.

"Senior, this looks great in this outfit."

"Yes, the woman next to him seems to be Xu Qing."

"It's really her, why don't you take me?"

"What's the point of taking you? Besides, do you have the temperament of Xu Jing?"

"I am young!"

"Cut~"

When the girls saw Cao Yu, only Jing Tian kept his eyes on the senior, while the others discussed Xu Jing next to Cao Yu.

Jing Tian was thinking to himself: "Who will the seniors take to the Oscars next year?"

Yanjing.

"I haven't seen her for so many years. This girl Xu Qing doesn't look old at all. No wonder Cao Yu asked me like that that day."

Yang Shuxue was also watching this quasi-live broadcast. When she saw her childhood playmate, a faint smile appeared on her face.

Suddenly she discovered that the way Xu Qing looked at Cao Yu was not an ordinary kind smile, but a hint of fondness.

"Could it be that they have a problem?"

Although Yang Shuxue knew that there were many women around Cao Yu, she really couldn't accept it for a while if she had some kind of relationship with her childhood playmate.

"I hope I'm overthinking it. Cao Yu's eyes look quite normal. Maybe Xu Qing is just wishful thinking."

Now, she could only comfort herself in this way.

In the United States, while the red carpet is still being broadcast in China, the live awards ceremony has already begun.

The host of this session is Hugh Jackman, the actor of "Wolverine".

After a drumbeat, the bright stage slowly lit up, and Jackman in a suit walked up briskly.

As soon as he stood on the stage, he humorously poked Kate Winslet in the front row.

"It seems that this woman is very likely to be this year's best actress."

When Xu Qing was in school, her family directed her to become a diplomat, and she could understand foreign languages ​​without a translator.

"You know it very well."

Cao Yu and the others were seated in the sixth row, relatively close to the front. Listening to the host's words on the stage, they didn't know whether this person really knew the result of the award or was just a blind guess. How could he guess so accurately? The host was here There was a bit of humor on the stage, and after two performances, the first award, Best Supporting Actress, began to be presented.

Although this award was awarded first, the weight is pretty good.

After the awards were handed out, the two presenting guests came to the stage.

"I all know the importance of a good script to a film."

“Every screenwriter starts with a blank slate.”

“Every piece of white paper was once a tree.”

"Every tree was once a seed."

The award-winning guests said something to each other. This kind of American humor made the audience burst into laughter.

"Every seed is..."

The next words of the two hosts were a little colorless, but they made the atmosphere at the scene more lively.

"Here are the nominees for Best Original Screenplay."

After the guest finished speaking, clips from five movies began to play on the screen.

In addition to Cao Yu's "Inception", the films nominated for Best Original Screenplay this time include "Frozen River", "Carefree", "Milk" and "WALL-E".

To be honest, Cao Yu has never watched any of these movies except "WALL-E", which tells the story of the relationship between two little robots.

However, he knew that the winner of the Best Original Screenplay this time was "Milk", and he was actually running with it.

"Little brother, are you nervous?"

Xu Jing took advantage of the host on stage to introduce a few movies and whispered to Cao Yu.

"I'm not nervous, I'm actually very calm."

Cao Yu already knows the outcome. It is enough to make his presence felt and establish himself in the Chinese film industry. He should wait for "Avatar" and "Slumdog Millionaire" to win awards.

"I didn't expect that you are young and have good concentration. No wonder it took me so long to win over my junior."

"How long?"

"It seems like a long time."

"You're talking about the time we were intimate."

Cao Yu secretly said something in Xu Jing's ear, and suddenly saw a camera pointed at him and quickly sat down.

"Fortunately, I'm smart, otherwise Shu Xue and Qian Qian would have been questioned just now if they saw me."

While Cao Yu was enjoying himself, the guests on the stage had already begun to open the envelopes.

"I hope it's you."

Xu Qing gently held her hands. She really hoped that Cao Yu would win the award.

"The possibility is too small."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the award presenter on the stage holding a piece of paper and announcing: "The winner is the screenwriter of "Inception", YU CAO!"

"???"

Cao Yu is confused, what's going on? How could I win the award? Shouldn't it be "Milk"?

I didn't even prepare an acceptance speech.

The camera once again focused on Cao Yu, who looked at a loss.

"You won the award! Go and receive it!"

Xu Qing also didn't expect that Cao Yu would actually win the award. Seeing that he was still in a daze, she hurriedly gave him a gentle push.

Cao Yu finally came to his senses. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and gave Xu Qing, who was excited beside him, a warm hug before coming to the stage.

"congratulations."

"Thank you."

Cao Yu shook hands with the two guests and then took the statuette from the old man's hand.

This was the first time he touched such a thing, looked up and down, and then stood in front of the microphone.

Although he is a reborn person and already a rich man, even though he has sung several songs on stage and won the Golden Eagle Award, this is the Oscar ceremony, in front of the audience from all over the world. Cao Yu was inevitably a little nervous at first, and he didn’t know what to say for a moment. What.

"clap clap"

Seeing Cao Yu like this, the audience in the audience seemed to understand his feelings and hurriedly gave him kind applause.

"come on!"

Xu Jing raised his fist towards Cao Yu from below.

"call!"

Cao Yu took a breath in his heart, looked at the audience, and then said: "Thank you everyone."

After saying this word, I calmed down a bit, organized my words in my mind, and then continued: "To be honest, before coming here, I never thought that I would win this award. When I heard my name just now, I was really surprised. Some excitement."

Applause rang out again, and everyone present felt that this Chinese rich man was quite real.

"According to convention, I should thank some people, but I was not prepared. I just thought about it and felt that the one I should thank the most is my alma mater, Nortel. Without the training of the school, I would not be here. Thank you."

Cao Yu is so smart, and Nortel's influence in the entertainment industry is undoubted. If you are carrying someone in a sedan chair, you should first thank the school.

"Next, I would like to thank my motherland and my parents. I cannot be where I am today without them..."

"I would also like to thank all the members of the "Inception" crew and Bob, the boss of Universal Pictures. Without their efforts, this script would not have become a good movie that everyone will like."

"Then I would like to thank those people around me who silently support me. Thank you and love you!"

Cao Yu guessed that the award ceremony would be broadcast in China, and his women would definitely watch it, so he included them in his speech.

“The inspiration for the movie Inception came from a dream I had when I was a child.”

Cao Yu made nonsense for a while, talking about his creative inspiration, and finally said: "Finally, thank you to the Oscar judges, thank you for giving me this award, and thank you to the two award presenters, thank you!"

"clap clap"

Regardless of whether what Cao Yu said was true or false, bursts of applause erupted from the scene.

Cao Yu raised the statuette in his hand and returned to his seat amidst warm applause.

"What I just said is very good, not bad!"

When Xu Jing saw Cao Yu coming back, she praised it first, then took the statuette from Cao Yu's hand, rubbed it and said, "This is something that many filmmakers dream of."

Cao Yu didn't say anything. At this time, he was very surprised. Why did he win the award?

"I remember that "Inception" was nominated two years later. At that time, the film lost to "The King's Speech" with explosive lines. The loss was not unfair, but "Inception" was actually not bad either."

Cao Yu thought for a while and then suddenly had an idea: "Maybe this is Tian Ji's horse racing. "Inception" couldn't beat "The King's Speech", but he actually won against "Milk". Haha, fortunately, my performance just now was okay. Otherwise it would be embarrassing.”

"But in this case, because I bought the copyright of the original work in advance, "Slumdog Millionaire" has not been released this year. Next year, it will definitely be compared with "Avatar" and the grand slam of that year, "The Hurt Locker" that glorified the invasion. 》Colliding together and the three strong men fighting, what will be the result? Now it’s fun.”

Thinking of this, he is looking forward to next year's Oscars.
