Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 206 The Oscars

Regis is starting to lose his composure.

These two young Chinese Americans, how come they're both so imaginative and unconventional?
I'm finding it hard to keep up with the thinking speed of these young people.

When Gu Bei was originally questioned,
In his expectations,
Gu Bei was probably just expressing his excitement and his desire for the award.

In short, it's about thoroughly flattering the academy.

Unexpectedly, Gu Bei simply said, "I want them all," which made Regis almost lose his composure.

Then when it came to Liu Yifei...
He thought Liu Yifei would say she was there to support Gu Bei, which would also help to cover up Gu Bei's performance earlier.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei was even more ruthless than Gu Bei, honestly stating that she was the audience.

That's true,

But this is a live broadcast!
Nicole Kidman's final laugh was the last blow to Regis.

He could only manage a weak smile: "Thank you both, and I wish them a pleasant evening!"

Fortunately, there were other hosts present, so we were able to quickly switch to their interviews.

After Regis left,

Nicole turned around and extended her hand to Liu Yifei: "Hello, I'm Nicole Kidman, and I'm also an audience member, just like you."

Liu Yifei smiled and shook hands with her.

Nicole greeted Gu Bei.
She then said to Liu Yifei, "I like your answer. We women don't need to exist as supporters of others; we are ourselves."

Liu Yifei blinked her big eyes.

She didn't think that much about it!

Just say what you are!
In the waiting area, Liu Yifei and Nicole seemed to be having a good time chatting.

After a star-studded red carpet event,

The two finally took their seats at the Kodak Theatre.

Ironically, Kodak was on the verge of bankruptcy, yet it still had to pay more than $70 million a year in naming rights fees because of the contract.

After the opening animation
Host Jon Stewart walked onto the stage.

As a famous talk show host
On stage, he used stand-up comedy to weave together this year's hottest movies and celebrities.
However, it's clear that this year's opening stand-up comedy show didn't receive a nearly as good response as in previous years, and even Jon himself didn't perform as well.

The main reason is that these scripts were written after the writers' strike ended.

The screenwriters only had twelve days.

Just when Gu Bei was getting a little bored,
He was mentioned by Jon: "And directors, speaking of directors, we have to mention that we have a twenty-year-old Best Director nominee this year who can't even get into a bar."

The camera panned to Gu Bei, attempting to capture his reaction after being called upon.

Seeing this, Liu Yifei
While chuckling and clapping,
He leaned his body outwards to avoid being filmed by the camera.

Being mentioned at such an awards ceremony is like hell for me!
Gu Bei smiled faintly.

He gestured two numbers with his hand towards the camera: "21!"

Jon caught on to this and immediately improvised: "It seems our young director is emphasizing to us that he is already twenty-one years old."

At the after-party following the Oscars ceremony,
Please don't let him off the hook, he's old enough to drink alcohol now!
To reiterate, when he rejects you for this reason, please remember that he is lying.

Of course, if he didn't win any awards, we shouldn't bother him while he's heartbroken; after all, he received nominations for five awards!

Gu Bei smiled as he looked at the camera lens.

This level of offense is alright, as Jon's stand-up comedy style is generally mild.

After a somewhat drawn-out opening monologue, the awards ceremony officially began. It started with a string of technical awards.
Most viewers don't care about the winners of these awards.
For an awards ceremony that lasts four or five hours, the most important awards must be hidden to the back.

The first award that garnered significant attention was Best Supporting Actor.

It was also the first clash between Whiplash and No Country for Old Men.

Highlights of the five nominees appeared on the screen, with J.K. Simmons delivering a brilliant off-key performance that perfectly showcased his twisted personality.

"The Oscar winner is... J.K. Simmons, the whiplash drummer!"

The first piece of good news,

Gu Bei looked at J.K. Simmons on the stage and felt a surge of gratitude towards himself, a subtle excitement welling up inside him.

Immediately afterwards, about half an hour later, No Country for Old Men also won its first award, Best Adapted Screenplay.

The awards for Best Sound Mixing and Best Sound Editing were presented together.

Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen are both members of the Hollywood Rascals, known for their scatological comedies, including the famous Hangover series.

Each of them held a slip of paper and announced the winners of the two awards.

"The Oscar winner is... Gu Bei, the wrestler!"

"The Oscar winner is... Gu Bei, the wrestler!"

Gu Bei looked at the camera, his expression slightly surprised.

Will they swallow my best edit?
Although both are technology awards
But Best Editing is clearly a level above.
This can be seen from the fact that these two awards were announced at the same time.

He was competing with The Bourne Identity for all three awards, but the award he felt most confident about was Best Editing, since The Bourne Identity is an action film.

In the camera,

Gu Bei slowly stood up and walked onto the stage.

Facing a sea of ​​black people below the stage, this gathering comprised some of Hollywood's most famous, talented, and powerful figures.

He steadied himself: "I wonder if I'll have more time to speak if I win two awards at the same time?"

After a simple joke, he continued, "First of all, I want to thank the crew. You made the movie so perfect, which is why I am standing on this stage."

Secondly, there's my investor; without you, there would be no movie.

Finally, there's my family. Without your support, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the opportunity to fulfill my dreams.

When the forty-five seconds are up,
The Oscars' call to the winners immediately rang out.

Gu Bei shrugged, finished his acceptance speech, and stepped down from the stage.

"Bruce, you'd better hurry back, there's another award coming up soon!"

While Gu Bei was still backstage being photographed and interviewed, Oscar staff rushed over to urge him to return to his seat at the Kodak Theatre.

Because the Best Editing award ceremony is about to begin.
In this stage,

Gu Bei was also a nominee.
If the camera captures an empty seat,
That was a live streaming mishap!

Gu Bei returned to his seat with the two small golden statues.

A short while later, the montage of the Best Editing segment was completed, and the camera captured all five nominees for Best Editing, placing them into small frames.

Most notably,
It was undoubtedly Gu Bei, who was holding two small golden statuettes.

Oscar-winning actress Renée Zellweger opened the note and announced with a smile:
"The Oscar winner is... Gu Bei, the wrestler!"
