Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 172 The Biggest Winner

This year's Oscars saved the five major awards for Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Picture for last.

When Cao Yang heard the award presenter say his name, he felt that the trip was not in vain, as at least he had won a personal award.

Don’t think that the Best Original Screenplay award is unimportant, but Columbia must have put a lot of effort into winning this award.

But it also depends on who you compare with.

Compared to the Best Director award, which Cao Yang had previously been a condition for, this award is definitely easier to implement.

"Congratulations, this should be Colombia's sincerity."

Berman hugged Cao Yang and joked with a chuckle.

"maybe."

When Cao Yang came out, Depp, who was in the front row, had already stood up. When Cao Yang passed by, he also hugged Cao Yang and said, "Congratulations, you deserve it."

Mark Ruffalo, who was in the front row, also hugged Cao Yang and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Director."

……

"Cao Yang won the Best Original Screenplay award. He finally won an individual award at the Oscars."

"It's OK. Today's hot favorites are nothing compared to The Lord of the Rings 3."

"Fortunately, The Lord of the Rings 3 was adapted from a novel and won the Best Adapted Screenplay award. Otherwise, Cao Yang's award would be in jeopardy again."

"Now 'The Lord of the Rings 3' has won nine awards, and it has not lost any. The only ones left are Best Director and Best Picture. If it wins these two, it will complete a feat of nominations and wins."

"Does anyone know the process of this year's Oscars? What award will be given next? It's been technical awards for so long, why haven't the most important ones been given out yet?"

"The technical awards have been presented, and the next one is Best Director, which is another head-to-head competition between Cao Yang and Peter Jackson... I think The Lord of the Rings 3 has a better chance of winning."

"Don't worry about it. Judging from the previous momentum, 'The Lord of the Rings 3' will be sold out tonight."

"What the above person said is correct. The awards are out and Peter Jackson won the Best Director award."

"It's a pity for Cao Yang. He originally had ten nominations and I thought he would be very successful at the Oscars, but he didn't expect to be nominated for The Lord of the Rings 3."

……

It was not surprising that Peter Jackson won the Best Director award.

Even though Columbia made concessions in other areas, it did not promise Cao Yang the Best Director award, which shows that New Line and its parent company Warner are determined to win this award.

The next Best Actress award went to Charlize Theron. In order to play in "Monster", she not only gained weight, but also deliberately made herself ugly and exposed her nipples. She made such a great sacrifice just for the Oscar for Best Actress.

After Charlize Theron finished her thank-you speech almost in tears, Cao Yang noticed that Depp in the front row had obviously sat up straighter because he was going to present the Best Actor award.

This is also the award that Depp and his agency UTA have been working on.

As one of the top five talent agencies in Hollywood, UTA is quite powerful and is very familiar with how to operate awards at the Oscars.

After losing his biggest competitor, Sean Penn, Cao Yang felt that Depp had a great chance of winning.

The award presenter was Nicole Kidman. Nicole Kidman, who is at the peak of her beauty, is still very attractive, with first-class looks and figure.

Nicole Kidman also said a few words about the nominated films and actors before opening the envelope and taking a look.

"The winner is: Johnny Depp, "Mean Milk"."

Johnny Depp was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

Sitting next to him was his current girlfriend Vanessa Paradis, who seemed even more excited than Depp and hugged him.

Depp broke away from his girlfriend's embrace, stood up, straightened his suit, and then turned around and hugged Cao Yang. "Thank you, Mr. Director, you are an amazing person."

Depp was obviously well prepared to receive this award, and he gave a fluent speech of thanks after going on stage.

"...Director Cao Yang is an amazing person. I have never felt that filming would be so easy. Thank you, director."

Depp raised the little golden man in his hand and walked off the stage.

……

"Depp won the Oscar for Best Actor."

"When it comes to praising people, you still have to look at Cao Yang. Now no one will say that he only knows how to praise women, right?"

"Having produced an Oscar winner, Cao Yang's position in Hollywood has been solidified. He has proven that he can not only promote female stars, but also male stars."

"It's a pity that Cao Yang didn't win the Best Director Oscar. If he had, he would have been the top Chinese director."

"There's still a Best Picture award that hasn't been presented yet. If it wins, the effect will be the same."

"Don't dream. 'The Lord of the Rings 3' has also been nominated for Best Picture. Tonight is a special screening for 'The Lord of the Rings'. It has won ten out of eleven nominations, so Best Picture will be no exception."

"It's a pity that The Lord of the Rings 3 was released this year, otherwise Cao Yang would definitely have won more awards."

"It's okay now. I've already won Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Actor. I'm already the big winner of the night."

"The Lord of the Rings: Resurrection is a real winner. If it wins Best Picture, it's 3 out of nominations, which is better than the big ships back then."

"Big Ship had 3 nominations and won awards. Although it didn't have the hit rate of Lord of the Rings , it was still a clean sweep."

"Let's go. There's only one Best Picture left. There won't be any suspense. We'll watch the TV broadcast tonight. It's a pity that we won't see Cao Yang sweep the Oscars."

"The people above should be content. With the sweep of "Lord of the Rings 3", it is not easy for Cao Yang's film to win four awards."

"The Lord of the Rings: Part Three" was invincible at this year's Oscars. Cao Yang lost all the nominations he and he shared."

"Isn't there another Best Picture?"

"Don't think about it, there's no chance."

"The Lord of the Rings 3 is already a done deal, and Cao Yang can't do anything to save it. Haha, it sounds a bit tragic when I say that."

"The presenter seems to be Spielberg. He is about to announce the prize."

"Don't expect it, it's impossible."

"Damn it! Cao Yang finally showed his strength in the final showdown and finished "The Lord of the Rings 3". He won the Best Picture!"

"Damn, I'm also shocked. When no one was optimistic about him, Cao Yang actually stood out. Haha..."

"Cao Yang has to be a real man for three seconds, haha..."

"I was also shocked. I thought the Best Picture award would also go to The Lord of the Rings 3, but I didn't expect there would be such a twist."

"Not bad, not bad, it won the Best Picture. Although Cao Yang's film won only five out of ten nominations, it is still the biggest winner tonight."

"Yes, although it doesn't seem as impressive as The Lord of the Rings: Part Three, which won ten out of eleven nominations, Cao Yang's film won the two major awards, Best Picture and Best Actor. It is definitely the biggest winner tonight."

……

When Cao Yang heard the name "Despicable Milk", he knew that Columbia and Miramax were still very powerful and had snatched a piece of meat from Warner.

However, they are not working so hard for Cao Yang. Cao Yang did not participate in the subsequent profit sharing of this movie. The box office revenue all belongs to Columbia and Miramax, so they are so active.
