Chapter 348 Oscar Night (Wish readers good luck in the Year of the Dragon)

So...we should take advantage of the fact that the Oscar halo is still there to grab as much as we can!

He then asked the two of them, who would be his female companion on the Oscar red carpet?

Unexpectedly, his words would cause trouble again. The two women couldn't argue, and finally decided...whoever can make Gu Zhongyu beg for mercy first will be his female companion!

Can I just beg for mercy now?

~

At 3 pm on March 2, US time, Gu Zhongyu walked onto the Oscar red carpet with Shalizi in a crimson dress on his arm, followed by Alexandra, Chen Sicheng, and Frank.

In the end, Shalizi defeated Alexandra with her physical fitness and became Gu Zhongyu's female companion today.

Gu Zhongyu calmly waved to the fans and reporters waving on both sides, and walked forward with Sha Liz in his arms.

"Dear, why don't you seem very happy?"

Shalizi ignored his words and asked instead, "I didn't expect you to customize a movie for Alexandra. It seems you still like her more!"

During the battle yesterday, Gu Zhongyu told the two of them that the movie "Barbie" was going to have Alexandra as the heroine. After learning the general plot of the movie, Alexandra, who has liked Barbie since she was a child, I was so happy that I hugged Gu Zhongyu and kissed him like crazy!

Salize has some taste for it, but the movie "Barbie" is obviously not suitable for her. She is almost 40 years old and she can't bear to play the role of Barbie doll. This movie is too suitable for someone with cute appearance and silly temperament. Alexandra did.

So she even felt that Gu Zhongyu's movie was tailor-made for Alexandra.

"How is it possible to customize it? I just happened to be inspired by the US imperialism's thoughts on feminism over the years..."

"really?"

"You are the actress who is about to win the Oscar for the second time. Be generous, my dear, this is not like you."

Looking at today’s A-share index, no one would think that this thing can make one rich, right?

Really too young!

Even according to Western aesthetics, Gu Zhongyu can be called a handsome guy. Such a young Eastern man is actually the investor and starring screenwriter of the movie. This is an incredible thing in Hollywood.

Zhang Ziyi was quite happy to see Gu Zhongyu, and wanted to go up and say hello, but saw that Gu Zhongyu was surrounded by two generals, Heng Ha, so she backed down. After all, Shalizi is an Oscar-winning actress, and she is tall and tall. Just this She actually felt a little timid when she saw the aura.

"Maybe I'm just a stingy woman!"

Entering the Dolby Theater, Gu Zhongyu walked directly through the hall and entered the theater with two beauties on his arms, one on the left and one on the right. He did not greet anyone else, mainly because the number of people he knew was indeed limited, and everyone's circles were different. Maybe after this session , Gu Zhongyu will never come to Oscars again.

The two chatted without delaying their walk at all.

Therefore, Chen Sicheng welcomed every reporter who asked questions and introduced himself and "The Invisible Guest" very enthusiastically.

Brother, you are really joking!

Who doesn’t know that Sunglasses King doesn’t need a script to make a movie?

The TV series "Flowers" directed by Sunglasses King in his previous life has been touted by countless people as a pearl of the era. Gu Zhongyu admitted that the photography, filters and lighting of this drama are all top-notch, no worse than those in theater movies, but the plot is simply suspended. To the extreme!

Not only are the plot, characters, and scenes exaggerated, but the most important thing is that the whole drama promotes getting rich by stock trading. I am really confused. In China, you can get rich however you want. You can get rich by stock trading...

The Sunglasses King took the initiative to come over and talk to Gu Zhongyu, and even jokingly said that he wanted to ask Gu Zhongyu to help him write a movie script.

During the entire red carpet process, it was just a routine for media reporters to take photos, give autographs to fans, and almost walk into the media interview area on the tail of Julia Roberts in front.

In fact, from the moment the two of them walked on the red carpet, reporters' cameras were like crazy, constantly pointing at the two to take pictures.

The crew of "The Grandmaster" also came, and this was the third time Gu Zhongyu met Zhang Ziyi at the award ceremony.

There are many benefits to accepting endorsements. For example, on occasions like this, the brand will proactively contact you without opening your mouth and help you customize exclusive clothing for the red carpet.

Although many people say that the King of Sunglasses is a genius director in the Chinese entertainment industry, Gu Zhongyu has never been too fond of this guy. After all, movies are for people to watch, not for you to use as a tool to show off your skills.

Gu Zhongyu chuckled. Chen Sicheng's reaction was actually normal. After all, it was an honor that many seniors had not been able to achieve. No one else could have controlled it.

Even if you have to write a script, you have to start writing it slowly with your toes while thinking about it. Are the characters, plot, etc. important to you, Director Wang?

Behind him, Chen Sicheng couldn't hide his excitement. Walking on the Oscar red carpet was something he never dared to think about in his life. Unexpectedly, he was already qualified to be nominated in his thirties. Regardless of whether he won the award this time, In the future, his status in domestic entertainment will no longer be comparable to that of ordinary artists.

Gu Zhongyu has never been a fan of the red carpet, and Shalizi has long been tired of walking, so the two of them walked very fast, almost no different from ordinary walking.

Alexandra felt a little embarrassed to be with him, so she simply left him behind, caught up with Gu Zhongyu, and took his other arm.

Gu Zhongyu was wearing a dark suit, specially customized by Armani for him, while Shalizi's dress was specially customized by Dior. Dior's true love for Shalizi was considered true, and she had been asked to take on the responsibility for several years in a row. A global spokesperson, she was also stunningly beautiful in her previous Dior commercials!

But Leo still has to say hello. After all, people have stood up for him at Cannes before. If Gu Zhongyu can be nominated for Best Actor this time, doesn't that mean he will become his opponent?

Moreover, the people in the TV series do not look like they are living in the magical city of the 90s, but more like the concessions of the old era...

Several people found the location of the crew of "The Invisible Guest". In fact, there were less than ten people from their crew. Most of them were sitting relatively far back. Only Gu Zhongyu, Chen Sicheng and the two female leads were seated. Relatively forward.

Before sitting down, an executive from ABC TV station came over to chat with Gu Zhongyu for a few words. Later, several Hollywood film producers came over.

If Gu Zhongyu was just an actor, he would not be so popular at all. The main reason is that he owns a film and television company in China, and its scale is not small, so he is particularly valued.

After all, he represents the vast mainland market!

Starting in 2002, the Oscars began to have a fixed awards venue, the Kodak Theatre. Kodak spent US$7400 million to obtain the naming rights of the theater for 20 years. In addition, it also paid US$360 million to the theater owner CIM Group every year.

However, 10 years later, in 2012, the poorly managed Kodak Company filed for bankruptcy protection and terminated the naming contract. In the same year, CIM Group announced that it had signed a 20-year naming contract with audio technology company Dolby Laboratories.

Since then, the Kodak Theater has officially been renamed the "Dolby Theater" and the Oscar Awards will be held here until 2033.

American media commented that for the entire film industry, the Oscars are more like a large-scale film industry promotional film.

In terms of TV revenue alone, it is estimated that this year's Oscars alone will help ABC TV bring in nearly $100 million in revenue.

Of course, the Oscar broadcast fee paid by ABC to the Academy is also as high as 8000 million!

During the telecast of this year's awards ceremony, an average of 11 minutes were broadcast per hour, which is about 1 minutes longer than the average in recent years.

What makes people even more speechless is that the fees only go up but not down!

Each clip inserted in the Oscar live broadcast is sold for an average of 176 million US dollars, and each broadcast time is 30 seconds, which is equivalent to nearly 6 US dollars per second.

According to data released by Kantar Media Consulting, Coca-Cola paid approximately US$2009 million in fees from 2013 to 4150, and non-catering brands such as Hyundai Motor also spent huge sums.

Of course, whether it is selling to make money or entertaining the public, Hollywood is actually the biggest winner of the Oscars.

But excluding these money-related interest factors, what the public is more willing to believe is that people love the statuette so as not to miss any opportunity to create excellent works of art.

……

The music suddenly sounded, and the Oscars were about to begin. This year's host is Ellen DeGeneres, the most famous talk show host in the United States, the host of The Ellen DeGeneres Show!

Being able to host the Oscars is definitely a good job for a national host. Compared with the one in 2007, Allen has definitely improved significantly. At least the jokes he told made the audience laugh, and his level was high and not vulgar.

This is really a skill. There are not many hosts with this level in domestic entertainment. Just counting Wang Han, He Jiong and others, Xie Na, Shen Mengcheng and others can host the program. It’s so embarrassing that you can’t even do a basic warm-up!

First, we teased some celebrities, and almost all the actors who were nominated were not missed!

Of course, he didn't give up the opportunity to tease the crew of "The Invisible Guest". The camera showed Gu Zhongyu and he just smiled.

After a 15-minute opening performance, the awards ceremony began!

The Oscars ceremony lasts about 3 hours, but stingy people don’t even have any food to eat, but this year is an exception because Ellen DeGeneres ordered 300 pizza delivery!

But this is just an example. The three-hour award ceremony has 23 nominations. You have to stand up and applaud every time a winner comes on stage.

Why! It’s simply a torture, especially for those who were nominated but did not win the award!

The first person to present an award was the loud-mouthed Anne Hathaway, who presented the Best Supporting Actor award.

Anne Hathaway is an outlier among the bunch of youth idols promoted by Disney. Not only did she not quickly fall away from the entertainment industry like other idols, but she successfully turned around and became the best supporting actress at the last Oscar with her good vision and acting skills!

Although she was criticized for being unpopular with the audience, she still continued to make film appointments.

Of course, such good days will soon come to an end, and she will soon become the most hated actress in the United States!

Such a talented and beautiful perfect woman should be a popular goddess in people's eyes. Why do Americans hate her so much?

Because Anne Hathaway is annoying, she has been avoiding showing her true self, but trying her best to create a perfect self, and then... her secrets were exposed.

The people of the United States are really tolerant when it comes to tolerance. Many actors and singers fight, speed drive, drink alcohol, domestic violence, K-drugs, and steal...but they still have a prosperous life. Everyone feels that That's the kind of person he is, he's not surprised at all.

But they can't tolerate "fake sweethearts like Anne Hathaway!"

After Anne Hathaway gave an impeccable speech, it was announced that the winner was Jared Leto.

Tonight's Oscars are destined to be a series of surprises. "American Hustle" was nominated for ten and won nothing. "Gravity" is the biggest winner so far. "12 Years a Slave" won a bunch of prop awards and supporting actress awards. !

Best Supporting Actress went to black actress Lupita Nyong'o.

Nearly halfway through the award ceremony, Gu Zhongyu and Shalizi watched the excitement.

Because Salize played a sixty-year-old man in the movie without any flaws, "The Invisible Guest" also won the Props Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, but not many people cared.

The first half was not very interesting. Gu Zhongyu noticed that the mobile phone used by the host Allen was from Sansang. Calculating the time, Sansang’s mobile phone has only been in the country for a few years, and it appeared almost at the same time as the Korean ban. , is this a coincidence or...

During the awards ceremony, a video was played on a large screen to commemorate the famous filmmakers who died around the world in mid-2013, including Shirley Temple and Peter "Lawrence of Arabia" star ·Photographs of Otto and other former movie "stars" during their lifetimes.

It is worth mentioning that the image of Mr. Shao Yifu, the founder of Shaw Brothers Films, also appears in this video.

This old man is considered one of the birthplaces of Xiangjiang films. He has made great contributions to Chinese films. He has also donated tens of billions to the mainland to build hospitals and schools. Although many people say that he is stingy with actors, Gu Zhongyu likes him quite a lot. I wish you all the best. Let's go!

"The Invisible Guest" received only four nominations for Best Makeup, Best Editing, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress and Best Picture. According to Oscar tradition, these awards are awarded The time is generally relatively late, more than halfway through the award ceremony!

So halfway through the awards ceremony, Gu Zhongyu felt a little hungry. Fortunately, the pizza delivery ordered by Ellen DeGeneres finally arrived.

She also led the delivery boy directly to the awards stage, and then delivered pizza to the guests one by one!

Ever since, at the 86th Oscar ceremony, the audience saw hundreds of celebrities gathering together to eat pizza...

(Little Shitou wishes everyone a happy Year of the Dragon and all the best. May all my readers be promoted and make money, have filial wives and virtuous sons, and a happy family!)
