Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 115 Making History

"Haha."

Gu Ming stopped his impulse and stood up gracefully!

After hugging several crew members, he walked onto the awards podium while being filmed by an unknown number of cameras.

"congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

Received the statuette trophy from the presenting guest.

Gu Ming weighed it subconsciously and joked with the guests in the audience, "Well, it doesn't look like it's made of pure gold."

smile.

Gu Ming picked up one of the three prepared slips of paper, held the trophy in one hand, looked at the slip of paper with the other and read his acceptance speech.

“I really didn’t expect the Academy to give me this award.”

"To be able to create this script, I think the people I need to thank most are the prototypes of "Green Book", Don Shirley and Tony Lip."

"Yes, without their cross-racial friendship, I wouldn't be able to write this "Green Book"."

"This trophy belongs to you too!"

After raising the trophy towards the camera, Gu Ming walked off.

This kind of award does not need to take up too much time.

Give it to those big prizes.

Returning to his seat, Gu Ming studied the trophy carefully and handed it to Viggo Mortensen beside him, "Pretend this is the trophy for Best Actor and let's experience it first."

"No, no, no! If you touch the trophy early, your good luck will run away." Viggo Mortensen refused!

Don Cheadle didn't have so many worries and took it over.

I asked while studying.

"Do you think I will win Best Supporting Actor?"

"It's very possible!" Gu Ming could only say this.

If it were Viggo Mortensen, he would tell him there was no hope, but with Don Cheadle's skin color, Gu Ming didn't dare to say such a thing.

In fact, even if there is no memory of the past life, we can still see some signs.

The Academy had previously awarded the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award to the first and only Oscar winner so far, Sidney Poitier.

Is this a coincidence?
Everyone will know the answer right away.

this is not!
Because Best Supporting Actor went to Don Cheadle.

"Green Book" wins again.

"Look, I said it works, hurry up and touch it." Don Cheadle handed Gu Ming the award for Best Original Screenplay to Viggo Mortensen, and hugged Gu Ming excitedly.

"Thank you very much! Gu."

"It was you who created this masterpiece and allowed me to win an Oscar. If there are any roles that I need to play in the future, just give me a call. If there are not many roles, I can play for free."

"Oh, there is no need to save money for the producers, you deserve this award!"

Gu Ming told the truth.

If it weren't for the color of his skin, Don Cheadle would never have won this award this year.

Not just Best Supporting Actor.

The next Best Actress award went to an actress, Halle Berry. She became the first actor to win an Oscar for Best Actress. She choked up several times while standing on the awards stage.

The Best Actor award went to actor Denzel Washington.

Viggo Mortensen was so stunned that he didn't know what to say.

After applauding, he returned the statuette to Gu Ming, "This won't work either!"

"Is it possible that you have bad luck?"

Don Cheadle also handed his statuette to Gu Ming, "Collect two trophies and you can summon another trophy. I hope you can win the best director. Your film deserves this treatment!"

"Thank you."

Gu Ming held a small golden figure in one hand and kept chanting the mantra silently.

"Tai Shang Lao Jun is in a hurry like a law."

"Tai Shang Lao Jun is in a hurry like a law..."

Maybe it’s because the gods in the East can’t control the West.

After a bunch of awards.

Best Director went to Ron Howard for "A Beautiful Mind."

Don Cheadle and Viggo Mortensen dared not speak any more.

It's not just because Gu Ming didn't win the best director.

There is also a very real problem.

Unlike the three major European awards, Best Picture and Best Director will basically not be given to the same movie.

Oscar doesn't have such rules.

This is often done.

So, Gu Ming not only missed the best director, but also the possibility of winning the best picture suddenly dropped a lot.

Gu Ming on the side felt that all his strength was drained out in an instant.

Although I knew that the chances were very slim, when the dust finally settled and I didn't get the award, I still felt very regretful.

If only I could take shortcuts and exploit loopholes to get an Oscar for Best Director.

He is only one step away from winning a Venice Golden Lion to achieve a grand slam of awards in his directing career.

What a pity! What a pity!
There is no chance this time. It will be many times harder to win the Oscar for Best Director in the future.

I don’t know when I will have such a good opportunity again.

We can't let Lao Tie send two more planes, right?

Obviously he doesn't have that ability anymore.

With a slight sigh, Gu Ming put down the trophy and applauded Ron Howard.

To be fair.

"A Beautiful Mind" is a biopic about economist John Nash.

After the best director is awarded, the final award is for best picture.

The award guest is also a big shot, Tom Hanks.

As he introduced, footage played on the screen behind him.

There are huge scenes from The Lord of the Rings.

The director's work "A Beautiful Mind" won the Best Director Award

"Unfaithful Love".

The work of Nicole Kidman at her peak appearance, "Moulin Rouge".

and "Green Book" by Gu Ming.After the introduction, Tom Hanks paused briefly, opened the envelope, and said, "Oh, the Oscar goes to "Green Book."

"Green Book"!
"Congratulations on Gu Ming." Tom Hanks looked at Gu Ming.

"boom!"

"Clap clap clap."

In an instant, there was a round of applause.

Fat Miller's face instantly turned red and he hugged Gu Ming's shoulders tightly.

"Gu! It's really unbelievable. Am I in a dream?"

He is just an ordinary producer who has never been the main producer once. It is precisely because of this that he was sent to this small crew with an investment of tens of millions.

Sony just saw that he was not too important, had never acted as an independent producer, and was not strong-minded.

Just ask him to cooperate and let Gu Ming do everything else.

At that time, would he have thought that he could win an Oscar?
It is better to believe that the mother-in-law will die suddenly tomorrow!

Miller growled excitedly.

The same goes for Gu Ming.

No matter what the film is, no matter whether it takes advantage of the subject matter or not, starting from today, I will be the first Chinese to win the Oscar for Best Picture!

In the future inventory, there is no way around it!

……

"Oh oh oh!"

"Gu Ming Niubi..."

In front of the TV in China.

I don't know how many spectators stood up and cheered instantly.

They don’t understand much, but the Chinese won the award, and they won the award in the United States. This is worthy of cheering!

At this moment, he was bringing glory to the country.

Thirty times the difference in per capita GDP.

The population is more than four times that of the other country, but the total economic volume is only one-eighth of that of the other country.

Seeing that Gu Ming could actually win a grand prize from a bunch of Americans, it was the grand finale.

Everyone's self-confidence has improved a lot.

If ordinary people just watch the fun.

It's different for people in the circle. Except for a few big directors and some students at school, everyone else is only envious.

Even Brother Chen Kai slumped down on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling and muttering poetry.

"There are talents from generation to generation in the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years."

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the new people in the world drive out the old ones."

"..."

"Hey, it's time to go on stage to receive the award!" Gu Ming patted Fat Miller, and the two hugged the others before walking up.

Fat Miller automatically walked behind Gu Ming.

It also allowed Gu Ming to win the Best Picture Oscar first.

After Gu Ming handed the statuette to him, he touched it and handed it to Gu Ming again. At the same time, he gave Gu Ming the opportunity to say his acceptance speech, "Let me tell you, you are the biggest winner this time." Hero."

"No no no!"

"I think the biggest contributor to this time is all the members of the crew!"

Gu Ming said this, but he also started talking about his acceptance speech.

"Thank you Oscar for choosing this film."

"At the same time, I would like to thank the members of the crew, Viggo Mortensen, Don Cheadle, photographer Cao Yu, and lighting engineer Kang Xiaotian..."

"There is also every bit of effort that every extra performer has put in."

"Without them, this film would not have been possible, and of course, thank you again Tony and Don for their friendship."

"Finally, thank you to everyone who supports me!"

"thank you all!"

"Thank you!" Fat Miller approached the microphone and expressed his gratitude again.

The one who got this ride, with the Oscar statuette, his future production salary will be increased by at least half.

He was truly grateful.

And this move once again aroused applause from the audience.

Gu Ming and Fat Miller walked back to their previous seats amid applause.

"Congratulations! Gu."

"Congratulations."

"We will have the opportunity to work together in the future."

Whether it was the cast members or other cast members around, they all sent congratulations.

Gu Ming replied "Thank you" to everyone.

After everything calmed down, Gu Ming picked up the little golden man and started studying it.

Studying and feeling at the same time.

"It would be even better if it could be replaced by a statuette for Best Director."

The harvest was good, but it was a bit regretful after all!
After the best picture presentation, the awards ceremony ended quickly.

Oscar understood that the guests who came to attend did not dare to eat or drink water.

After the awards, it's time for the dinner.

Not only to celebrate the winners, but also to comfort the losers, a luxurious dinner is essential.

This meal also made Gu Ming look back.

That's quite generous!
Not to mention prawns and crabs, Gu Ming got trypophobia when he saw them.

Burgundy winter black truffles and caviar are probably priced by the kilogram.

There are also rows of Dilong champagne and wine.

Because Gu Ming won the best picture, the chef at the Oscar dinner specially made a Chinese king fish dish for Gu Ming.

It's actually braised fish.

Take a sip.

Um!Tastes good!

This chef who will cook dinner parties for more than [-] years has something that is much more delicious than what he makes himself.
