According to the practice of the academy over the years, unless a movie has too much influence like Forrest Gump or Schindler's List, the academy will never easily give a movie too many awards in the Oscars.

Just like the fairness and justice that the college has always advocated, we can find from public relations lobbying that these so-called fairness and justice are only relative. In fact, the concept that the college has always followed is to divide the cake and balance it.

The practitioners who were invited to walk into Chandler Hall were basically very clear about this point, and this has almost become common sense for Oscars.

In this context, those who belong to the crew of "Save Private Ryan" will inevitably have better expectations.

Tonight, the Oscar ceremony has reached the final and most important stage. Before this best director gave Steven Spielberg, the biggest winner was undoubtedly "Shape's Love History", but when Steven Spielberg stood on the stage and delivered his acceptance speech, it is not certain who is the big winner tonight.

Generally speaking, if the academy is still balancing this year, it is very likely to find supplies for "Save Private Ryan" at the final prize, which is what most people on the scene think.

"Dreamworks will soon become the seventh giant in Hollywood..."

Looking at Steven Spielberg on the stage, Wayne murmured softly.

If he remembers correctly, from the past or two years, DreamWorks' movies will not only overcome obstacles in the theater market and continuously achieve unexpected good results, but will also continuously shine with dazzling brilliance on stages like the Oscars.

In the following years, DreamWorks' popularity was extremely strong. Whether in box office, awards, or even revenue figures, it had to surpass the one or two of the six companies at the bottom. In the eyes of most ordinary people who are unknown, DreamWorks seems to have become the seventh largest giant in Hollywood.

Turning his head, Wayne glanced at the crowd around him, slowly lifted up his lips, revealing a meaningful smile.

Some things will happen as usual, but some things have been changed from the root by him. If there is any old-fashioned force representing movie capital in the entire Hollywood, hoping that DreamWorks will develop better and better, then it must be Wayne himself.

"Will you go up and receive the award?"

As a woman who knows Wayne very well, Cameron Diaz is the opposite of everyone around her. In her opinion, the best film, the Little Golden Man, will definitely give "Shapes' Love History" in the end, and can only give "Shapes' Love History".

Of course, she didn't understand the rules of Oscar running, nor did she know which film was more popular with the judges, but she only believed that the man around her paid the money, and she still paid a lot of money.

As a woman who has been fooled with the other party for several years, she knows better than anyone else that the reason why this man is willing to pay a lot of money is absolutely impossible to fulfill the dream of the Australian Bi**h movie queen. After all, Naomi Watts has not been involved in the little golden man.

Then there is only one reason left. With this man's selfish nature under his tough and sunny appearance, he will make a lot of money, but it may be because he can make more money.

"No, this kind of glorious moment should be given to those who have worked hard." Wayne grinned at Cameron Diaz beside him.

Just as his voice fell, the old cowboy on the stage happily announced the result of the best film to the microphone. "Shapes' Love History, Harvey Weinstein, Wayne Greenberg."

The moment the sound on the stage fell, everyone in the crew of "Shapes' Love History" stood up and hugged each other wildly to celebrate. Yes, this best film was theoretically awarded to the producers, but under normal circumstances, it is also a commendation of all staff members of the crew.

If you watch the Oscars, you will find that whenever the last most important prize is awarded, it is often not just the producer who comes to the stage to receive the prize, but the entire crew will be dispatched together.

The entire theater was filled with joy, and the guests around Wayne, who were familiar or handsome, were giving him instructions.

However, he just smiled and kept nodding to these people, without any intention of receiving the award.

As he said, this video sounds nice, with two names written on the producer column. To put it bluntly, all the work was done by Harvey Weinstein, and he was just a hand-off manager who paid the money and then waited to share the money.

With Wayne's pride now, he wouldn't have run to the stage to get the honor.

Besides, since the "Witch Blair" that year, his plans have never changed. As long as it is a project that cooperates with that fat man, he will never come forward. His opinion is to calm down his influence. Isn't it good to make money in silence?

The crowd on the stage started to cheer together, took photos, and accepted interviews. The 71st Academy Awards ceremony also ended in a lot of discussion.

But this does not mean the ending. As another continuation of the Oscars, the celebration party held by Vanity Fair became the next gathering place for everyone on the scene.

In recent years, this cocktail party has become increasingly influential in the hands of Tina Brown. It can be said that basically the guests who are nominated for Oscars will attend. Here, no matter whether you are the big winner tonight or the bystanders who have been standing in the audience, you will always show your face.

Compared with the winners who won the Oscar Little Golden Man, more practitioners in the circle should actually pay more attention to this cocktail party.

The inviting guests in "Vanity Fair" usually rewards the practitioners for a year's busy schedule, but it still cannot change the social attributes of this cocktail party. Moreover, in addition to this "Vanity Fair" cocktail party, it is difficult to find another occasion to gather all the big names in the circle.

Nothing gained at the Oscars? It doesn’t matter, "Vanity Fair" has grandly laid a red carpet in front of the Hilton Hotel. As long as you receive an invitation, no matter whether you are a successful person or not, you can walk on this red carpet surrounded by many media.

More importantly, the reason why no one wants to miss this cocktail party is because on this occasion, no one knows whether they will find another opportunity to gain fame and fortune.

"There are many people who want to enter this celebrity cocktail party. I heard that an opportunity to enter the Vanity Fair cocktail party has been privately fired to five figures."

Cameron Diaz followed Wayne and walked out of the elevator, whispering with a smile: "You know, I'm not talking about the opportunity to come in from the red carpet on the main entrance of the hotel."

"You probably have to ask the host of the cocktail party in person. Look, isn't it here?"

He responded casually, as soon as Wayne walked out of the elevator, he saw Tina Brown walking towards him.

"God, what an unexpected surprise. Wayne, it's so surprising that you can come!" Tina Brown, editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair", stretched out his right hand enthusiastically with a smile on his face.

"Hi, Tina."

Wayne reached out his hand politely, held it with the other party, and joked with a smile: "Cami was just telling me just now how precious a ticket to the party is, how could I easily miss it?"

"Good evening, Ms. Diaz, good evening, Ms. Klein."

The magazine "Vanity Fair" can be sold throughout North America, and the cocktail party can be deeply tied to Oscars. Tina Brown's brain is of course far more intelligent than ordinary people. Faced with Wayne's teasing, she just smiled, looked at the two women behind the other party at the first time, and greeted him politely.

"Do you need me to take you around?"

After a simple greeting, Tina Brown asked at the man in front of him.

Wayne shook his head. "I'll just go around it myself, Tina, you're so polite."

"Okay, if you need it, you can call me through the waiter at any time."

Because they came early and many of the Oscar-winning guests were still interviewed by the media, there were not many people in the hotel banquet hall that were booked.

Wayne greeted people all the way, found a seat close to the balcony and sat down. He watched the celebrities who were constantly coming to the banquet hall leaning on the chair and lit a cigarette.

"As far as I know, there are two types of lists that can be included in this cocktail party in Vanity Fair..."

Behind him, Nina continued the topic just now and chatted with Cameron Diaz beside her. "The kind of money you heard about is not strictly speaking, in these two invitations. It can only be regarded as taking advantage of some loopholes that "Vanity Fair" acquiesced."

“Two kinds?”

"That's right."

The assistant lady shrugged and explained: "The first type is the people who were invited by Vanity Fair, such as those who were nominated for the Oscar. They were already on the invitation list for the Vanity Fair cocktail party since the nomination was received.

The latter type, like the boss, doesn’t need any invitation letter at all.”

The reason is very simple. People like Wayne, Spielberg, and Tom, their faces are the toughest passes. Even if the top celebrities in the circle like this have not received any nominations at the Oscars, they are still VIP guests at this cocktail party.

The essence of the Hollywood cocktail party is socializing, but what is the purpose of socializing?

There is no doubt that of course it is to find opportunities. Actors are looking for opportunities to join large projects, producers and film company executives are looking for opportunities to cooperate with each other, and even handsome men and beautiful models who always have a way to appear are undoubtedly looking for opportunities to take shortcuts to get ahead.

For example, there is a phenomenon that occurs frequently. After Oscar Night has passed, some unknown little people suddenly appear on the cover of some well-known magazines or appear on the list of major productions.

Lucky people like this undoubtedly found their own opportunities in such occasions. Of course, many of the projects and cooperation that were suddenly announced were actually achieved at such cocktail parties, which is why people love socializing.

After all, no one knows whether the next project that gains fame and fortune will be encountered by themselves.

More obviously, when Wayne sat down with two ladies, he naturally became the target of socializing for many people.

Although Nina would always signal to those who came in advance that Mr. Greenberg did not want to be disturbed, but when Harvey Weinstein led the crew over, the assistant lady had already collected a thick stack of business cards in her hands.

"Sorry, can I talk to Mr. Greenberg, I swear, I only need five minutes..."

When another young man in a suit and tie was blocked by Nina who had stood up early, Wayne, who had been smoking a cigarette, had a rare extremely obvious interest in his eyes.

He glanced at the crew of "Shapes Love History" surrounded by the crowd, and did not rush to say hello, but instead waved to a distance. "Nina, let him come over."

"Well, you're lucky."

The assistant lady shrugged, turned around and made way out of the blocked road, and took the lead in walking towards her boss.

"Hello, Director Greenberg, I'm your fan..."

The young man who came here was similar to Wayne's age. It can be seen that he was nervous and excited. While saying hello, his hands were still rubbing.

"Hey, is there anything you need to ask me for?"

Seeing this extremely familiar face, Wayne had a warm smile on his face and signaled him to sit down and chat. "Man, don't say that you have worked hard for a long time just to ask me for an autograph."

"Uh...that's right. I have a script on my hand. I want to ask you to read it..."

As soon as he heard the man's explanation, Nina raised her hand and took a photo on her forehead helplessly. That's right, maybe this is another self-righteous and naive thought that she could bring investment from them with a script.

In the past two years, she has no idea how many similar things and people she has to reject every day.

I'm afraid what makes these people feel sad is that even if Nina accepts the so-called script or creativity, 99% of these things will not reach Wayne's desk.

"Mind of introducing yourself?"

Something unexpected happened. Wayne, who has always been cold to similar things, did not express his desire to read the other party's script, but he rarely wanted to continue chatting. Nina could see that her boss's tone was not perfunctory, but really wanted to continue chatting with the other party.

"Of course, I'm Christopher Nolan, from London, and just came to Hollywood..."

There was a clear surprise on the man's face and he quickly introduced himself. However, before he could say a few words, he once again transferred the topic to the so-called script. ""Memory Fragments" is a script I changed based on my brother's short story "Symbol of Death"..."

"Mr. Nolan, this may not be suitable for this occasion now."

Wayne waved his hand and interrupted the other party's words to continue the introduction. He thought for a while and said, "This is the case, I don't matter if you want to invest or want me to help introduce a production platform. Tomorrow morning, if you don't change your mind, you can bring the script to Greenberg Manor. Then we have a good chat, ok?"

"Ok, of course, I mean of course there is no problem. I'll take the script with me tomorrow morning."

Christopher Nolan was interrupted and was stunned, thinking that his salesman would face impatience and rejection again. But when he heard Wayne's words, he immediately nodded gratefully. He knew that he had tried his best to enter this party, and this was definitely a good bet.

"Okay, let's do it today, see you tomorrow."

“Thank you, Mr. Greenberg.”

Seeing the man leaving excitedly, Nina turned to look at her boss, her face full of incredible words.

In recent years, she didn't know how many self-righteous young people she had helped Wayne reject. At least this situation has never happened before. Is there anything special about the old man from London? Nina didn't notice it anyway.

"We won, Wayne."

Before Nina's doubts could be resolved, Harvey Weinstein finally dealt with the person who came to say hello. After coming over with a glass of wine, he directly ran into Wayne. "We are the biggest winners of the year, Wayne."

"Yes, Harvey."

Drinking all the champagne in the wine glass in one sip, Wayne looked at the fat man in front of him, and his face was also full of smiles.

Harvey Weinstein suddenly asked: "Who was that child just now?"

"A director from London should want to get my investment..." Wayne shrugged and said casually.

Harvey Weinstein spoke frivolously, spread his hands and smiled, "Ha, that's really not an easy task."

While they were talking, several main members of the crew of "Shapes' Things" also came over at the same time, including Cate Blanchett, who was holding the actress's queen, tightly in her hands. When they surrounded them, they happened to hear an interesting conversation between the two.

"Harvey, do you know why so many people want to succeed in Hollywood and want to be a big director here?"

"oh, because the Hollywood director can sleep with female stars?"

“no.”

Wayne raised his fingers holding a cigarette and swayed back and forth between the two. "That's just the reason you want to keep succeeding."

“What?”

"The reason those people came to Hollywood is because they were chasing their dreams, movie dreams."

Harvey Weinstein waved his hand with disgust. "Come on, Wayne."

"Ok." Wayne also sneered, then quickly put away the smile on his face and stared at Harvey Weinstein's eyes seriously. "Harvey, how much did they (capital) spend the first time, making you give up your ideal?"

"Seventy-five thousand US dollars."

“You deserve a higher price.”

"so, I will sell "Shapes Love History" for a good price, a price that will make up for my dream of movies!" Harvey Weinstein said, looking at Wayne and laughing. "Aha, this is a big deal, and it's going to be busy again, Wayne."

He raised his glass as he said. "Let us honor the damn success."

"Cheers, to the damn success."
