Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 181

In the courtesy car arranged by the organizing committee to the Kodak Theater.

It is obvious that among the three people participating in the Oscars, the crew of "The Intouchables", Gu Ming, Will Smith, and Dustin Hoffman, the most nervous one is Will Smith.

It twisted here and moved there, making it uncomfortable to sit no matter what.

"Hey, do you want to start dancing?"

Dustin Hoffman laughed and joked, looking so calm and relaxed.

With that look on his face, Will Smith couldn't help but punch him.

"This is my second Oscar nomination!"

"Can't I just be nervous?"

"Do you think anyone has won two Oscars like you?"

"Uh-huh!" Dustin Hoffman smiled and shrugged, and like the character in "The Untouchables", he didn't move too much.

There was really nothing nervous about him.

More than 20 years ago, in 79, he won the Oscar for "The Kramers".

More than ten years ago, in 88, he won the best actor award again with "Rain Man".

Two Oscar-winners made him one of the people who have won the most Oscars.

To be precise, I can count them with one palm, five!

One is Jack Nicholson, who was born in the same year as him.

One is Marlon Brando in The Godfather.

Also Tom Hanks and ancient actor Spencer Tracy.

The last one is him.

As for whether you want to get the third best actor.

To be honest, I don't have much energy anymore, he is already 67.

The rest of the time is more about enjoying life.Acting is a hobby of old age.

Besides, no one has ever won three Oscars in history. Who knows if those old guys did this on purpose?
Although among the actresses is Katharine Hepburn, who has won four Oscars.

But after all, the salary and influence of male actors are higher than that of female actors.

It's not impossible that the old men suppressed him intentionally.

I just don’t know if I will have the chance to see an actor receive three Oscars before I die.

Dustin turned his head and looked out the car window.

With no one to talk to to ease his emotions, Will Smith set his sights on Gu Ming.

"Gu, why don't you look nervous?"

"What do you think?" Gu Ming looked into Will Smith's eyes and asked word for word, "Who do you think can win the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture?"

"Lord of the Rings 3."

"Then you still ask?"

I didn’t even expect to win the grand prize!
And I only spent money on public relations for the Best Original Screenplay award.

If you don’t have hope, you won’t be nervous.

"Then who do you think can win the best actor award?"

"Didn't you ask before? Sean Penn."

"Oh, God!" Will Smith made a gesture of covering his face, "No, this is too hard to accept. I invested more than 600 million US dollars in public relations!"

"You really are willing!"

wrong.

"It's good to have money!" Gu Ming gave a thumbs up.

"You have to give it a try. Who knows when I will be shortlisted next time? I want to treat every time as the last time!"

It’s only a few million, but Will Smith didn’t take it seriously at all, “Next time, I’ll still invest money in PR!”

"Anyway, all I have is money!"

Now he is at the peak of his powers.

The movies were all hits.

Even a drama like "The Intouchables" could eventually gross $5 million at the global box office.

It has well proved its ability to handle the box office.

In the past six months, the quotations for 2000 million yuan have disappeared, and no one can offer them. You have to add the North American box office share to show your sincerity.

But no matter how high the box office is, there are no awards!

When it comes to talented actors, it’s Denzel Washington, Denzel Washington.

Didn't take him seriously at all.

He must win an Oscar, otherwise he will not be able to succeed in the future.

Hey, no one can take the well-deserved first place. Is that okay?
Absolutely unbearable!

"Gu, you'd better pray that I win the Best Actor Award." Will Smith looked at Gu Ming pitifully.

"The producer is your company. If I win the Best Actor Award, you can get more money too!"

"I said it doesn't work."

"No, I think you are not an ordinary person. You are even more legendary than Spielberg at your age. Let me tell you, just in case it works."

"Then I wish you win the Best Actor Award at this Oscar!" Gu Ming smiled helplessly and sent his blessing.

"Okay!" Will Smith made a gesture of grasping, and then began to draw the cross.

I don’t know what is being said in my mouth.

……

After a while, the courtesy car arrived in front of the Kodak Theater.

As a favorite for this year's Oscars, the crew of "The Intouchables" attracted a lot of shots as soon as they got out of the car.

Of course, not only because of the film, but also because of the skin color.

It’s so harmonious!
Black, white and yellow.

One is not much, and one is not much.

The three major human races in the world come together.

Zhengzhi is right.

Although it has not become popular these days, reporters keenly feel that this composition is very good!
Much more eye-catching than other photos.

domestic.

The Six Princesses of CCTV once again bought the rights to broadcast this Oscar.

Two directors were even invited to act as commentators in the broadcast room.

These two directors have a background.

I don't know who came up with the idea.

When Gu Ming and Zhang Yimou competed for the Olympics, they actually invited Chen Kaige and Feng Pengtong to be commentators.

The key is that the two of them still have to sell face.Is the Sixth Princess making trouble with you?

The level is very high.

It is much higher than other CCTV stations.

No matter whether they were unhappy or not, they could only sit in the broadcast room honestly.

Feng Pants doesn’t talk much.

Regarding this award or that award, he was temporarily in despair.

Last time I finally won an award in Cairo, my friends actually teased me that it was a township award.

Thinking about it made his teeth hurt.

Brother Chen Kai is more active.

Speaking of which, calling an old sow a bad omen, one thing after another.

"This year, we Chinese filmmakers are still very promising."

"Gu Ming's "The Intouchables" is definitely a classic in film history."

"I wouldn't be surprised even if it wins Best Picture and Best Director!"

"The competitors are also pretty good," Feng Pants said.

"Yes! Especially "Lord of the Rings 3", the reputation accumulated from the first two parts is too great." In fact, Chen Kai also thinks that "The Intouchables" has a low chance of winning the grand prize, but he can't say that here of.

It can only be the Tao.

"Anyone can win the prize."

"But if it doesn't appear in these two films, then I have to question the credibility of the Oscars!"

"Director Chen, let's talk about the best foreign language film." Feng Pengteng once again guided the topic.

"'Heroes' has a high probability of winning the award. It's evenly matched with 'Invasion'. Whoever wins it depends on who is more favored by the Oscar judges."

……

Oscar scene.

The awarding time has not officially started yet.

Most of the guests stayed backstage.

Everyone is very busy, and now is the best time to socialize.

Here you can see most of the major Hollywood directors and stars.

This is something that cannot be gathered together at other times.

"Hi Gu, long time no see!"

Matt Damon, who was invited by the organizing committee, appeared in front of Gu Ming and greeted him warmly.

Beside him, there is a male star.

Jack...

Oh no, Leonardo DiCaprio, known as DiCaprio.

Seeing these two people standing together, Gu Ming was in a trance.

He almost didn't react for a moment, but after two seconds he shook hands with Matt Damon, "Long time no see, how was the filming of "The Bourne Supremacy"?"

"Fortunately, the tone is similar to the first one. I'm already used to it."

"Speaking of which, you really should be the director of this movie. We can work together again."

"By the way, let me introduce you, Leonardo."

"Hello there!"

"Hello!" Xiao Lizi was also quite enthusiastic, "Gu, if there are any films in the future, you can send me a film contract. The more difficult the film, the more interested I will be. It is best to be the one that can win the Oscar."

"Hey, if there's a movie like that, it should be my turn first, okay?" Matt Damon smiled and pushed DiCaprio.

Gu Ming opened his mouth to make peace with Xini.

"I will have the opportunity to collaborate with you two in a film in the future."

"As for winning the Oscar for Best Actor..."

"My film hasn't won an Oscar yet, so how can I make any promises?"

"When you work with me, you can win the Best Actor. Not only can you win the Best Actor, but you can also win the Best Director." DiCaprio joked.

"Of course that would be great."

Working with Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon?
There are works suitable for the two of them to become the best actor.

But both are still too young.

It's okay to be cute, but if you don't get fatter, little plum, and become unshaven, and then play with water guns and lower your appearance, will the Oscar give you the Best Actor Award?

Among the movie kings and queens in recent years, are there any handsome guys and beautiful girls?
Not to mention movie stars, there are not many young and handsome guys.

As a movie queen, Jolie's big mouth has nothing to do with beauties, Halle Berry has taken advantage of a gay person, and Nicole Kidman got a fake nose in "The Hours" to look ugly.

If nothing else goes wrong this year, it will be Charlize Theron, who will make an even greater sacrifice. After watching "The Devil Wears Prada", you can hardly connect the protagonist with her.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, the group arrived at the awards ceremony.

Gu Ming was chatting with the nervous Will Smith while waiting for the award ceremony to officially begin.

Soon, the host came on stage.

A customary talk show performance started, and after enlivening the atmosphere, the first award was announced.

Renee Zellweger won the Best Supporting Actress in "Cold Mountain," a film about the Civil War adapted from the classic novel.

Gu Ming applauded heartily.

He had seen this work in his previous life.

As a great man named Ma said, "Our German compatriots prefer farm girls, and that's probably right. We respect the dragoon pace of a strong female stock breeder."

Renee Zellweger really acted like a German dragoon in the film.

After the awards for supporting actress are over, it’s time for best supporting actor.

While waiting for the supporting actor to be announced, Will Smith turned his head several times to look at Dustin Hoffman.

When he turned his head for the fourth time.

He heard the heartbreaking voice of the award presenter, "The winner of this year's Oscar for Best Supporting Actor is Dustin Hoffman!"

"Learn more!"

Dustin Hoffman smiled at Will Smith, walked onto the stage, and after giving a formal speech, he won the first statuette of the night for "The Untouchables".

Then, it was time for the performance of "The Lord of the Rings: The Invincible".

Best Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Mixing, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design.

As long as anyone is nominated, there is no award that cannot be won.

Gu Ming's ears almost became callused after hearing this.

After listening to Lord of the Rings again and again, it was hard to find an award without Lord of the Rings participating.

Best Original Screenplay!
Gu Ming was nominated as a screenwriter.

This caused the three members of the "Intouchables" crew to stop chatting and look at the award-presenting guests on the stage with serious expressions.
