Chapter 511 Oscars Receive a Cold Reception, Should Harry Potter Get a Sequel?
Takeshi Noboru, of course, was unaware of Mary Akai's troubles.

Although it caused her a lot of trouble, she achieved her goal. The brewery would never have imagined that the wildly popular child star was none other than Mary Akai, whom they had been hunting down all along.

Therefore, Mary Akai had no choice but to accept it and continue to live a life of hiding with her daughter.

Let's turn our attention back to Oni Takeshi.

Takeshi Ono was naturally delighted with the success of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

In fact, the final result was quite unexpected.

It actually grossed so much more than the original.

But upon closer reflection, it seems unsurprising. The two worlds are inherently different, and the circumstances they face are quite different. With the accumulation of many advantages, achieving such results is reasonable.

In short, I am very satisfied with Takeshi Ono's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

The US branch is already working on getting the film nominated for an Oscar.

However, Ono Takeshi was not optimistic about it.

In its previous life, the Harry Potter series was not favored by the Oscars.

Who could believe that this phenomenal film, which swept the globe and won numerous awards, would flop at the Oscars, winning nothing?
Despite numerous nominations, most were secondary awards such as Best Visual Effects, Best Original Score, and Best Production Design.

This film was completely ineligible for major awards such as Best Director, Best Film, Best Actor, and Best Actress.

The reasons are multifaceted, such as the use of British actors throughout the cast, the lack of artistic depth for children, inherent problems, and strong competition.

However, it is undeniable that the Oscars had some "bias" towards this film.

Even if Takeshi Ono were to direct it, it probably wouldn't make much of a difference. Even though he has made some changes to address the problems in the original and the special effects are far superior, it would still likely be a flop at the Oscars.

Given his own "grudges" with Hollywood, they won't let him have his way; suppression is inevitable.

Don't assume that the "beacon of democracy" is truly democratic.

Another reason is that Harry Potter does indeed lack the "Oscar gene," making it difficult to win the favor of the judging panel.

Don't you see how much Leonardo DiCaprio tormented himself before finally receiving the Oscar as a "gift"?
The Lord of the Rings is different; from its plot to its theme, it perfectly fits the Oscars' usual pattern.

Takeshi Ono could already foresee that although he won at the box office, The Lord of the Rings would definitely win back some awards.

This is inevitable.

Fortunately, Takeshi Ono doesn't value awards that much, and he doesn't need an Oscar to prove himself like Leonardo DiCaprio did.

The facts did not exceed his expectations.

At the subsequent Oscars, although "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" received numerous nominations, including Best Visual Effects, Best Original Score, Best Art Direction, and Best Costume Design, it ultimately won very few awards.

The only thing that surprised Takeshi Ono was that the Oscars actually awarded him a trophy for Best Special Effects, which was better than the original.

Presumably, it's because the special effects of this movie are so top-notch that the Oscars can't turn a blind eye to it, otherwise they would be torn apart by the public.

Even so, it is an undeniable fact that "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was rejected by the Oscars.

Conversely, The Lord of the Rings shone brightly on Oscar night.

Not only did it receive 13 nominations and win several important awards, but it also, perhaps intentionally to embarrass Takeshi Onino, awarded Peter Jackson the Best Director award!

It should be noted that in the previous life, the other party was only nominated but did not win the award.

It's somewhat ironic.

However, at the subsequent Saturn Awards, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" won an award and ultimately took home the Best Fantasy Film award.

Hollywood seemed to have won a huge victory by losing at the Oscars, and the news was broadcast in the media for several days in a row, with both overt and covert criticisms of Takeshi Noboru.

Ono Takeshi's media empire naturally wouldn't stand idly by and immediately launched a counterattack.

Nowadays, Takeshi Ono has a certain voice and influence over public opinion in America and even worldwide. He's no longer in a situation where he can just take criticism without fighting back. Naturally, he won't tolerate the other side's behavior.

The two sides engaged in a fierce war of words, creating quite a lively and chaotic scene.

However, throughout the entire process, Ono Takeshi did not personally express his opinion, and his attitude of ignoring the issue was self-evident.

Of course, these are things to follow.

Takeshi Ono himself didn't care too much about whether he could win an Oscar.

However, just because we remain silent doesn't mean you can be arrogant.

The weather has cleared up and the rain has stopped. Do you think you can do it again?
It's just a film award that Americans run themselves, what's so special about it!

For Takeshi Ono, who possesses a global film and television resource, conquering the Oscars wouldn't be difficult. Even if the Oscars were to target him, he could still crush them fair and square.

The best rebuttal is not empty talk, but a slap in the face to shut the other person up!

Ono Takeshi naturally couldn't stand these Americans acting so arrogantly.

And having made so many commercial films, perhaps he could try making art films?
Moreover, the two are not contradictory; good art films can also have high box office returns.

Oni no Takeshi seemed to be deep in thought.

However, this is just an idea for now, and the specific implementation time will depend on the situation and will be discussed in the long term.

At this moment, Takeshi Ono needs to consider the issue of a sequel to Harry Potter.

A sequel to such a profitable movie is inevitable.

Funding is not a problem; the money earned from the first film is enough to make the rest.

There's no need to worry about the cast either. Takeshi Onino has already signed contracts with everyone, including Mary Akai, for the entire series. As long as he doesn't die, he'll have to keep filming.

Although Philip has a special status, given the relationship between the two parties, Queen Isabelle would not refuse.

Ono Takeshi hesitated about whether or not to continue directing the filming himself.

To be honest, while the huge profits brought by Harry Potter would be enough to tempt any director in the world, it was not the most important thing for Takeshi Ono.

Therefore, he has little interest in filming a sequel.

He enjoys new challenges rather than repeating the same things over and over.

Moreover, with his masterpiece as a precedent and the original novel as a reference, subsequent films only need to follow suit, and replacing him with a capable director will not have a significant impact.

Furthermore, since Takeshi Ono will personally oversee the overall style and direction, the probability of problems is very small, provided that the subsequent directors are not incompetent.

With this in mind, Ono Takeshi immediately made a decision.

A sequel is definitely in the works, but we plan to hand it over to someone else.

This kind of film series is a perfect opportunity to train people.

Guiye Pictures can't possibly be sustained by him alone; it needs other talented individuals who can stand on their own.

His current top choice is Toru Muranishi.

This former "AV Emperor" has now completely "reformed" and transformed into a proper film director.

He also demonstrated extraordinary talent, earning the recognition and appreciation of Takeshi Ono!

The Pirates of the Caribbean film, which was shot earlier, was ultimately released after Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone due to the time required for special effects production.

It achieved remarkable success upon its release!

Even a huge surprise!
