The Queen's Rumored Father

Chapter 1265 Expulsion and Invitation

"Winning this Best Actor award was no easy feat; I almost lost my eyes in the process." After a long list of thanks, Cumberbatch's first words were the undeniable proof.

This can be seen as a response to previous rumors about his eye injury.

Many people in the arena looked at Chapek.

Mr. Iger did not attend the Oscars ceremony this year.

But unlike before, Mr. Iger had previously received an invitation from the core organization of the Academy Awards Committee. It is said that they had a very pleasant conversation.

The collaboration between the Oscars and Disney was foreseeable.

The next Oscars are destined to have a different style.

Xu Yuan then went on stage three more times.

The previous two wins were for Best Director, "The Invisible Guest," and Best Picture, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith."

The latter also brought Li Bingbing to the Oscar stage for the first time.

Having a film like this, just like an Oscar nomination, would greatly enhance Li Bingbing's image.

But the atmosphere became slightly tense the third time.

Because the Oscars awarded Xu Yuan a Lifetime Achievement Award!

Only four people in Asia have received the Academy Lifetime Achievement Award: Akira Kurosawa, Hayao Miyazaki, Satyajit, and Fang Da Ge.

Xu Yuan is fifth.

This award is certainly a compliment to the four individuals mentioned above; it is the Oscars' way of thanking and appreciating them.

But for Xu Yuan, this award serves only one purpose.

Get out!

We've given you all the awards you could get here, so please don't come back.

That's Oscar's straightforward line.

Xu Yuan has received several such lifetime achievement awards.

Without exception, the organizers and the awards committee had all had friendly exchanges with Xu Yuan beforehand, and both sides tried their best to reach an agreement.

Everyone knows that Xu Yuan could have won even more honors if he hadn't been denied the Lifetime Achievement Award. By stopping someone from receiving an award, you inevitably have to offer them some compensation.

However, the Oscars did not.

Their attitude was cold and hard.

Of course, the Oscars believe they have done enough; at least this year, they didn't swallow up many awards.

If it weren't for the global impact, they wouldn't even want to give Xu Yuan those major awards this year.

In their view, Xu Yuan had already made a profit.

However, Xu Yuan did not think so.

Every Oscar he won wasn't because the Oscars valued him; it was always simply because he deserved it. In fact, it was because only he deserved it!

What does "achievement" mean?

It wasn't given to me by you; I mean this honor was earned by me through real fighting and snatching!

"I was shocked because I thought I could still contribute some excellent films and records to the Oscars." Xu Yuan stood on the podium, debonair, but his words were not so kind. "I never imagined that my Oscar career would end so abruptly."

"I regret that there will be far fewer truly excellent films in the future Oscar selections. Of course, I still have great respect for the Oscars, after all, it has a glorious history."

Xu Yuan saw that many people in the audience looked grim, but he didn't say anything more offensive.

In fact, if he were to go on stage and give Xu Yuan Film Festival and Golden Crown Awards a bad review, it would really hurt the Oscars.

But it's unnecessary.

In the end, I did win the award.

This was Xu Yuan's last bit of respect for Oscar.

After the awards ceremony, Xu Yuan did not attend the subsequent party, but instead went to meet an old man.

……

"You look rather unladylike, Xu," Egger said, getting out of the car with a bright smile.

He is back.

After stepping down and coming back up several times, the result is that everyone within Disney is now completely convinced of his abilities, and he has almost become a god within Disney.

"This way, please." Xu Yuan invited Egger through a special passage. "Actually, I just did what you did back then. When you were kicked out of Oscar's office, you didn't even show up. I'm actually a bit better than you."

Aeger's laughter stopped abruptly.

Xu Yuan pierced his heart.

No one feels good when they fail.

If he could rule Disney forever, why would Iger need to orchestrate several resignations?

To put it bluntly, it's still a lack of control.

That's how the world of capital works; nothing lasts forever except capital.

"This place is a bit strange," Eger said, changing the subject and looking around.

He and Xu Yuan entered a sealed room, which appeared to be underground.

"This is a secret room I built under the Hollywood Dream Hotel. Don't report me, okay?" Xu Yuan gestured for Aiger to find a seat, then with a wave of his hand, he opened various walls, revealing exquisite display cabinets for cigarettes and alcohol.

"Oh, damn it, you actually have this bottle of wine! I've been looking for it for ages!" Egger spotted a bottle of wine.

"Alright, then let's drink it today." Xu Yuan walked over to get the wine, saying as he went, "Although this place is simple, its biggest advantage is that it allows this conversation to be limited to just the two of us."

Aigler was taken aback: "What do you mean? You mean eavesdropping? No one dares to eavesdrop on me. At least, my office and home are absolutely safe. I'm confident of that."

"I'm different from you. I'm a local, you understand, Xu?"

Eger stated that it was impossible for anyone to sabotage his territory.

"But what about your poisoning?" Xu Yuan asked.

"Those are Valer and Rebecca. I've already fired all their people from the company. Their fate will be grim, I guarantee it." Egger was never one to be petty.

"Let me guess, Chapek handled it for you, right?" Xu Yuan asked.

Eger frowned.

Wise people don't say useless things.

"You mean... Chapek?" Aiger froze for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Hahaha, Xu, you're overthinking it. That's Chapek! Without me, he can't do anything. He's just an obedient good-for-nothing, you understand?"

"I know what you mean, that's why I don't use anyone better than Chapek. I don't need the people around me to be capable, I just need them to obey, because I'm capable enough."

"Didn't you see that in my rule over Disney?"

Xu Yuan nodded, poured Aigel a glass of wine, and chuckled, "So, when did this good-for-nothing become the only person you can rely on?"

"The only one? No, there is no only one. As long as I want, he..." Egger stopped mid-sentence.

Because he discovered that he couldn't refute what Xu Yuan said.
