Chapter 255 Choice

On the Oscar awards stage, Wu Yuchen took the best picture statuette, then walked to the microphone, looked at the people below and said:

"Before the award, I told Glazer that I didn't want to sit down and be pitied, and he said no."

Having said this, Wu Yuchen did not speak, but raised the little golden man in his hand. Glazer, who was beside him, leaned forward, also raised the statuette in his hand and shouted into the microphone:

"Man, we did it, we're the big winners tonight!"

The two people's passionate singing aroused the emotions below, and a round of applause and cheers rang out again.

Of course, these words directly hit Harvey, making him grit his teeth. He and "Chicago" were nominated for 13 times and failed to win a single award. It was even more miserable than "The Shawshank Redemption" back then, so it naturally aroused sympathy. But only losers will sit down and be pitied, and who the hell wants to be a loser!

But Wu Yuchen didn't care about him, he was already facing each other anyway, so what if he just mocked him in person?

Wu Yuchen hugged Glazer gently: "Thank you Glazer. He is really the best partner. He has paid a lot for "Beautiful Mind" from beginning to end!"

Then Wu Yuchen continued to say with a smile:

"Thank you again, Mr. John Nash and Ms. Alicia, for your legend makes "A Beautiful Mind" possible!"

He stretched out his right hand and pointed in the direction of the crew:

"I have to thank the actors on the crew, Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Paul Bettany, Ed Harris... This is not just talking, their wonderful performance is what makes me stand Here’s the reason!”

The actors in the crew have all stood up, looking at Wu Yuchen's speech with smiles on their faces.

"Thank you to all the workers on the crew. It is the contribution of each of you that shaped this "Beautiful Mind" that will go down in film history!"

…

At the same time, with the live broadcast of TV, the transmission of radio, and the spread of the Internet, the news that Wu Yuchen won the Oscar for Best Picture also spread to every corner of the world.

It was exactly noon in China, and many people were squatting in front of their computers to watch the latest news about the Oscars. This time, Wu Yuchen participated in the Oscars, which naturally attracted the attention of many Chinese people.

In a dormitory, several people were standing in front of a computer screen, refreshing the web page and chatting:

"How many awards has "Beautiful Mind" received now?"

"Three, Best Supporting Actress, Best Film Editing, and Best Adapted Screenplay."

"It's a pity that the Best Director award just now was given. I originally thought that Wu Yuchen had hope."

"Well, let's just think of it as a qualification. After all, Ridley Scott has seniority and has been nominated many times. It's no surprise that he won."

"Hey, do you think there is any hope for Best Picture?"

"It's hard to say. I read in the newspaper that the competition is quite fierce, and "A Beautiful Mind" doesn't have much of an advantage."

"maybe……"

Just as they were talking, several people suddenly saw the latest line of red characters refreshed on the web page: "Oscar Best Picture: "A Beautiful Mind"!"

"Fuck! Best picture!"

"Really took it?!"

"Awesome! Director Wu is awesome!"

Likewise, the Internet is already abuzz at this time.

"Congratulations to Justin Wu! The first Chinese to win the Best Picture Oscar!"

"As expected of Director Wu, he has it right away!"

"Best picture! The biggest award! It would be great if this movie was a Chinese film!"

"It would be great if you can get it. You ask for so much! Wu Yuchen is from China anyway!"

At the same time, the noon news on TV also began to insert news:

"Congratulations to my country's well-known director Wu Yuchen for winning the Best Picture for "A Beautiful Mind" at the 74th Academy Awards! It is reported that this is also the first time a Chinese has won this award!"

Although "Beautiful Mind" is not a Chinese-language film, Wu Yuchen is from China. These days, China has just entered the international arena and is eager to gain international recognition from top to bottom. Naturally, Wu Yuchen, who won the final Oscar, also To be pulled out for publicity.

…

In Los Angeles, Wu Yuchen was attending the Vanity Fair dinner after the award ceremony, accepting congratulations from all parties.

"Congratulations, Wu!"

"Thank you! Congratulations to you too, Ridley, you got what you wanted!"

Justin Wu and Ridley Scott clinked their wine glasses together and congratulated each other. Wu Yuchen looked at him and thought that he had done a lot of things against Harvey before this year, but he didn't go after this old man.

However, he estimated that Ridley Scott would contribute less than him in developing Harvey and "Chicago". Otherwise, he would not be able to make Harvey suffer so much this time with his strength alone. He and Ridley have teamed up to help each other at this Oscar.

Ridley Scott smiled kindly and said: "Wu, the future belongs to you!"

Wu Yuchen wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this. He didn't want to wait for the future. It would be really uncomfortable to wait for decades like Ridley to win the best director.

He still has a plan for the future. It is best to win the awards that can be won abroad before the Chinese film market rises. After that, his main focus is to return to the Chinese film industry for development.

Oscar is something that becomes less valuable as time goes by. If the domestic response to winning an Oscar now is 100, then with the development of China's national strength and the improvement of national confidence, the response to winning the same award more than ten years later can only be 50 at most.

In fact, this is true all over the world. With development, people's aesthetics have become more and more diversified. In the past few years before the Internet was fully developed, this was the time when the Oscars had the greatest influence and peak.

Wu Yuchen counted it carefully in his mind. He had won all the Oscars for screenwriting. He also won the best picture this time, and only one was left for best director. It’s better to work harder in the past few years and get it as soon as possible!

Justin Wu also noticed that it seemed that the crew of "Chicago" did not come to the party tonight, so he asked casually: "Ridley, didn't Harvey come?"

Ridley Scott smiled and teased: "I think he doesn't want to come here to accept everyone's sympathy. After all, he is the 'King of Oscars'!"

Wu Yuchen immediately smiled and agreed: "Hahaha! That's right, our Oscar King will not come to congratulate us!"

The crew of "Chicago" broke up unhappy after the awards ceremony. The male and female protagonists left directly. Although they didn't dare to lose their temper with Harvey, you can tell their dissatisfaction if you think about it. But they didn't dare say anything to Harvey, but some did.

"Harvey, are these the results you gave me? I handed over Disney's public relations team to you, and you didn't even get a single award?!"

Eisner was also very angry at this time and kept questioning Harvey. He had expected Oscar Harvey to come back with a big award this time, but he didn't expect it to be 13 duck eggs.

At this time, Harvey was also furious, and he was immediately ignited by Eisner, regardless of whether he was the president or not: "Shut up, Eisner! Can't you see? This time I Got fucked!"

Harvey knew very well that this time he was targeted by the Academy because of the so-called "Oscar King" incident. Although the Academy allows public relations, it does not want the Oscars to be completely labeled that public relations can influence its results. In this way, the value and fairness of the Oscars will be questioned, so this year they simply taught Harvey a lesson.

And it also makes Harvey feel miserable because "Chicago" has received 13 nominations, and the winner of each award is not an underdog. "Chicago" dare not say that it is definitely better than the other party.

"Aha? Are you going to use this reason to stall me? If you weren't so arrogant at ordinary times, even if you were targeted this time, the result would not be like this!"

Eisner's sarcasm also annoyed Harvey: "Shit, go to hell!"

After scolding him, he hung up the phone directly. He would not give in easily. This was the most the college had ever targeted him. He didn't believe it. He could do it again next time! He is going to create another Olympic-winning movie and take back his own glory with his own hands!

…

Although it is impossible for Harvey to congratulate Wu Yuchen, there are many people who actively want to establish a relationship with him, such as Nicole Kidman, who is wearing a sweet smile and elegant posture at this moment:

"Director Wu, congratulations! "Beautiful Mind" is a great movie, and it deserves the Best Picture~"

Wu Yuchen looked at Nicole Kidman in front of him. Although she was over 30 years old, she was well-maintained and her beauty style was still the same. No wonder she could be so obsessed with the popular idol.

Wu Yuchen gave her a polite smile: "Thank you! Nicole, your performance in "Moulin Rouge" was also great. You deserve a movie queen. It's really a pity today!"

Nicole Kidman showed a flattered expression, and then asked with a gesture of joy: "Director Wu, do you really think so?"

"Certainly, if it's not this year, your odds are pretty good."

"Thank you, Director Wu, for recognizing me. It really makes me feel a lot better."

Nicole Kidman caressed her chest, then changed her voice and asked: "Director Wu, I really hope to have a collaboration with you. Is it an honor?"

Nicole Kidman is also releasing her own style at this time. After losing the Best Actress award tonight, she has already made up her mind. She must find a capable enough man to help her, otherwise it will be really difficult to win the Best Actress Oscar.

When she married Tom, although there was also a reason why he was handsome, her main purpose was of course to achieve his aura as a big star. Although she divorced Tom Cruise last year, she also relied on him to go from a small Australian star to a well-known actress all over the world.

Now, she is divorced and has been bad-mouthed by many media and public opinion. They all say that she will fall quickly after leaving Liangtang. She must take advantage of the past two years to show results to defeat those remarks and become an independent woman. Benchmark!

At the previous awards ceremony, the first thing that came to her mind was Harvey Weinstein. After all, this fat man has really strong Oscar performance in the past. But after seeing "Chicago" defeated by "A Beautiful Mind", looking at Wu Yuchen receiving the cheers of the crowd on the stage, I thought about how he personally won the Oscar for Jennifer Connelly, who had not done well before. , she immediately changed her goals.

Harvey's momentum seems to be no longer what it used to be, but Wu Yuchen's momentum continues to improve. And looking at Wu Yuchen's young and strong body and handsome and tough face in front of him, who would choose that fat pig Harvey in front of him?

Nicole Kidman has enough confidence in herself, but she doesn’t think she will be any worse than Jennifer Connelly.

Wu Yuchen smiled and looked at the beauty in front of him. Her facial features were much prettier than those of a Barbie doll. She could be said to have ice-like skin and bones. She was white and glowing, but her skin did not have the small freckles that white people usually have. She is 180cm tall and has a slim figure. A gray tube top lace gauze dress fits her just right, showing off her beautiful shoulder and neck lines and delicate collarbones. Just standing here is radiating light, and she is worthy of being dubbed "the most beautiful woman in the world" by the media many times!

However, he did not directly accept it. Now Wu Yuchen can be said to have a good harvest in business and awards. No actress in Hollywood can refuse his invitation. Whoever he wants to invite to play the heroine is almost guaranteed to be invited.

He can't be tempted by just saying these words now, so what if it's Nicole Kidman? Don't expect to get any promises from him without giving him something practical.

Wu Yuchen still kept smiling: "Nicole, I plan to make a Chinese film next. I am still hesitant about whether to make another film in Hollywood this year. I don't have any clear goals."

After hearing this, Nicole Kidman followed his words and asked: "Director Wu, are you going to compete for the foreign language film Oscar again?"

Wu Yuchen said vaguely: "So be it."

But Nicole Kidman won't give up so easily. She doesn't want to wait another year. Now she is no longer a girl in her 20s, and she doesn't have so many good years to wait for.

She thought for a while and asked: "Director Wu, I heard that you have prepared many scripts. Are there any suitable for me?"

When Wu Yuchen heard her question, he thought about it in his mind and found that it was true. Two years ago, he copied many scripts from Disney, including those from Miramax, otherwise Harvey would not have come to him to buy the scripts. Among them is "The Hours," which helped Nicole Kidman win the Oscar next year in her previous life.

It's not difficult to shoot this movie. It doesn't have any big scenes. It's just a $25 million literary film. It mainly depends on the performance of the actors. If everything goes well, it can be completed in one month.

Nicole Kidman looked at Wu Yuchen thinking and looked at him hopefully.
