Chapter 349: Taking advantage of the golden statue

"Won't you eat a little, dear?"

Gu Zhongyu took a pizza in each hand and ate it happily. Chen Sicheng also ate a piece, but neither Shalizi nor Alexandra moved at all.

"Look at the dress we are wearing, dear, in order to achieve the best effect, I put it on after being hungry for a long time. Do you want me to ruin your current look?"

A piece of pizza wouldn't be enough, would it?

Women are still pitiful. Gu Zhongyu noticed that most of the people holding the pizza and eating it were male celebrities. The actresses basically didn't move much, or took a small bite to show politeness and stopped eating.

While eating the delicious pizza, he continued to admire the other people's hard work!

"The Grandmaster" received two nominations for Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design, but neither of them won, so I kept running with them all night!

In fact, it's not bad to be nominated. At least I can take it back and brag about it. The sunglasses king still has a smile on his face. I don't know why this guy never takes off his sunglasses. Gu Zhongyu doesn't believe what he said is because his eyes are afraid of light. reasons.

The name of "The Invisible Guest" appeared again for the next best editing award, but it could not avoid the fate of running away. The best editing statuette was won by the crew of "Gravity".

According to general thinking, a film that wins Best Editing has a very high chance of winning Best Picture. Best Editing is recognized as the weather vane of Best Film!

At this moment, Gu Zhongyu couldn't help but wonder, could "Gravity" win the best picture?

Could it be that "Gravity" became a fisherman because too much publicity was directed at "12 Years a Slave"?

Just when Gu Zhongyu was worrying about gains and losses, Penélope Cruz held Robert De Niro's arm on the awards podium.

The scene was a bit weird. The crew of "The Invisible Guest" was immersed in it for at least 3 seconds before they started cheering.

Gu Zhongyu never thought about winning this award. After all, the best original screenplay has never been the goal of the public relations of "The Invisible Guest". They have focused almost all their energy on the best picture.

After receiving the statuette, Gu Zhongyu hugged Penelope Cruz politely. From such a close distance, he could see that Penelope Cruz was obviously much older.

This is the Oscars, and there is never a shortage of people who want to show their faces. If you don’t prepare in advance, what if you make some dangerous remarks about race and politics after taking the stage?

Because there will definitely be those people who think they are smart and humorous, but suddenly change their minds on stage and do whatever they want. Such people will only be blacklisted by the Oscars, and it will be difficult for them to serve as award guests in the future.

In fact, the words spoken by these award-winning guests who seemed to be very literary were all written by screenwriters who had prepared for the Oscars in advance.

But again, Gu Zhongyu has not focused on public relations projects before. If he can win the best original screenplay, it means that the best picture is 80% out of the question!

Penelope Cruz took the opened envelope from Robert De Niro, glanced down, her eyes moved around the first few rows of the auditorium, and finally landed on Gu Zhongyu, "I am honored to announce , the winner of the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay is Gu Zhongyu's "The Invisible Guest"!"

Robert De Niro spoke, and Penelope only had to stand gracefully, "As movie screenwriters, their hearts are very scary. They are lonely, crazy, and even addicted to caffeine, and they are disabled because of delays in drafting..."

It has been agreed before the award is given that they will prepare the lines. If you accept the lines, rehearse them. If you do not accept the lines, please quit early.

“Let’s take a look at the five films that won Best Original Screenplay: Spike Jonze’s “Her,” David Russell’s “Husband,” Bob Nelson’s “Nebraska,” Lun "Blue Jasmine", Gu Zhongyu "The Invisible Guest"..."

The whole place was silent. It seemed that no one expected this result. Many people even looked curiously in the direction of Gu Zhongyu.

Shalizi stood up and hugged him first, and whispered: "Your expression is too stiff, you must control it reasonably and look happy!"

Especially the crew of "Her" looked at them with obvious confusion. According to the analysis results given by Bill before, the best original screenplay is the only statuette she can possibly win in the movie!

Now he has been robbed by "The Invisible Guest"!

No one would be willing to do it.

"It's okay, I've gained something!"

Time is fair to everyone, even though Penelope Cruz was unrivaled in beauty and known as the Flower of Spain, she is now over 40 years old!

Robert De Niro, a legendary Hollywood actor, has been nominated for 7 Oscars and won twice!

The Oscar for Best Screenplay has never been awarded to a Chinese person before, so it is considered a record-breaker.

"Thank you."

The Golden Horse Awards should also develop a similar mechanism, so as to avoid an own incident in a few years!

You have to give a little gold medal to someone with a little weight, after all, they spend so much money on public relations!

Gu Zhongyu tidied up his clothes and walked onto the Oscar stage. Robert De Niro was already waiting on top with the statuette. After Gu Zhongyu came on stage, the latter handed over the statuette: "Congratulations."

When he heard the news that "The Invisible Guest" won the best original screenplay, Gu Zhongyu was a little confused. How could it be the best original screenplay?

It seems that the best picture is out of the question, and this is the most correct understanding.

Damn it, can I stop being stiff? It was agreed that it would be the best picture, and I spent at least a few million dollars on it!

It’s the same thing all over the world. Awards are always based on worldliness. If you don’t have a penny, why should they give you the award?

Then Alexandra, Chen Sicheng, and Frank also stood up and hugged Gu Zhongyu.

Gu Zhongyu's biggest impression of him is not the Godfather series of movies, but the scene with Al Pacino in the restaurant in "The Wire". The peak showdown between the two legendary movie stars is extremely refreshing!

"Wow! Robert De Niro personally presented me with the award, what an honor!"

First he complimented Robert De Niro, and then Gu Zhongyu took out a small note from his pocket.

Holding the heavy statuette with one hand, he unfolded the note with the other hand.

In order to avoid lengthy acceptance speeches, the Academy only gave each winner sixty seconds to deliver their acceptance speech.

Originally this note was originally prepared for Best Picture.

"Well, I really don't know whether I should cry or laugh. Since I won the best original screenplay, does it mean that the best picture is out?" Gu Zhongyu made a joke, and then entered the thank you process, "Thank you Chen Sicheng, although we There’s no chance for Best Picture, but I see your efforts!”

"Thank you, Sharize, and Alexandra. Without your dedicated performances, this film would not have been possible, let alone completed within two months!"

"Finally, let me say something..." Gu Zhongyu switched to Chinese: "Thank you to the mainland friends who are watching the live broadcast on the computer, as well as the compatriots in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Thank you for your concern! I won the award!"

Gu Zhongyu bowed slightly, took the time to finish his acceptance speech, and then, led by the emcee, walked backstage with the two award-presenting guests. Gu Zhongyu didn't know either Penelope Cruz or Robert De Niro. The polite greetings had been completed on the stage, and there was no need for any extra communication.

After walking backstage and reaching the fixed interview session, Gu Zhongyu said some polite words such as "I'm very happy to win the award" and "Thank you for the recognition of the academy", and then returned to the theater.

Seeing that Gu Zhongyu looked a little uninterested, Shalizi comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, my dear, you are only thirty years old. Most people at this age are still struggling to get an Oscar nomination. You can get a small gold medal." People are already amazing!"

"I feel bad for the money I spent...these old guys are trying to fool me!"

"Hahaha!" Shariz smiled from ear to ear after hearing this, "This doesn't fit your personality! Let's take another look. Maybe... there may be surprises later!"

At this point, the awards ceremony has actually reached its final stage.

I guess it was to whet the appetite of DiCaprio, but instead of awarding the Best Actor first, I awarded the Best Director instead!

Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron wins best director for "Gravity"!

Achieved the first breakthrough as a science fiction film director!

Alfonso Cuarón spoke English with a Mexican flavor and gave an acceptance speech. He praised the film's heroine Sandra Bullock, and he probably guessed that Sandra Bullock was unlikely to win the award. !

There was nothing she could do. The two women, Salize and Cate Blanchett, were approaching fiercely. She really had no hope.

Even so, "Gravity" is already the biggest winner so far!

Next is the most interesting part of the entire Oscars. Can DiCaprio win the Oscar this time?

At this moment, countless fans of Leonardo DiCaprio from all over the world gathered to watch DiCaprio's coronation.

According to data later provided by ABC, at this moment, at least 48 million viewers in the United States are watching the Oscars, exceeding the average number of viewers by nearly 10 million!

The Oscar winner in the previous life was awarded to Matthew McConaughey in "Dallas Sellers Club", but now this movie has not appeared due to the butterfly effect, and there is still some possibility that Leonardo DiCaprio will win.

However, the final winner read from Jennifer Lawrence was indeed not him: "This envelope is quite difficult to open...The Oscar winner is Christian Bale for "The Hustle."

At this time, the camera showed Xiao Li Zi in the audience, and he could only see a confused look on his face, unable to conceal his disappointment.

Hey, keep working hard. I have been competing for the Olympics for ten years, and I am not afraid of losing again.

The next award was for Best Actress. Presenter Daniel Day-Lewis slowly walked onto the stage and opened the award card.

The nominees include: Cate Blanchett for "Blue Jasmine," Sandra Bullock for "Gravity," Amy Adams for "The Hustle," and Meryl Streep for "August: Osage." County", Charlize Theron's "The Invisible Guest"

It’s quite interesting that among the nominations for Best Actress this time, none of the five actresses are nominated for the first time, and except for Amy Adams, the other four have won Oscars.

Currently, the actress with the most Oscar nominations is Meryl Streep, with 59 nominations. The record for the most Oscar nominations by an individual is still held by Walt Disney, with a total of 22 nominations and wins. It should be unprecedented.

Although she had already won a statuette once, Shalizi could not hide her excitement when she was nominated again. The hands holding Gu Zhongyu in the audience began to sweat slightly.

"The winner is...Charlize Theron's "The Invisible Guest""

"oh my god!"

Amidst the warm applause, Shaliz stood up and hugged Gu Zhongyu, then pulled Alexandra aside, kissed both of them on the face, and walked forward with her skirt swaying.

"Thank you to all the 6000 members of the Academy, thank you to the other nominees, and thank you to Director Chen. I never expected that I would be able to win another Oscar before I became too old... Here I would like to especially thank the producer of our crew and the starring Gu Zhongyu , she gave me this opportunity!"

In the end, Shalizi raised the Oscar statuette in her hand and gracefully walked to the side of the stage. However, he did not enter the backstage. Instead, he stood on the side of the stage, waiting for the next best picture award.

His idea was to witness Gu Zhongyu win the best picture for the first time!

I really don’t know how Sha Liz could have such an idea. After all, even Gu Zhongyu himself felt that there was probably no chance.

"The Oscars ceremony is now in its final stage." Ellen DeGeneres said, introducing the Best Picture presenter. "I know everyone has been waiting long enough. Well, here is the presenter...welcome Will Smith. !”

Seeing Will Smith walking out in a black suit, Gu Zhongyu's heart skipped a beat.

It's probably out of the question, everyone has turned black without even looking at it!

The Oscar awards ceremony is a live broadcast, so now there are countless people on the other side of the ocean watching whether Gu Zhongyu's trip to Hollywood can win the first prize.

"Look, Teacher Gu is a little nervous, isn't he?"

"It seems a little bit. When attending other ceremonies, he always looks calm and relaxed. This time he finally lost control!"

"But do you think "The Invisible Guest" is likely to win?"

"Of course, if you don't win the award, it means that the United States is discriminating against us Chinese people, so we will occupy Uncle Sam!"

"I agree!"

"I tell you clearly, there is no chance! Even if it is awarded to "Gravity", it is impossible to award "The Invisible Guest". How old is Gu Zhongyu? He and Chen Sicheng are both from China. How could the Oscar gang …”

"Upstairs, stop beeping. Do you dare to make a bet? If "The Invisible Guest" really wins the best picture, do you dare to eat?"

"Haha, what's there to be afraid of? If they really win the best picture! I'll live broadcast the eating!"
