Quentin saw the notes, so he used numbers to refer to the characters.

Although Yu Dong didn't quite agree with Quentin's statement, he still nodded, "Well, your suggestion is very interesting."

Later, when they entered the auditorium, the two of them did not sit together, so they separated. Before leaving, Quentin said, "I am going to China this year. I will see you again when it is over."

Yu Dong nodded, "Okay."

After the award ceremony started, it became boring. The auditorium was large, but due to the limitations of the times, the stage effect was mediocre, and Yu Dong's English level could only support simple daily communication. The rest, whether it was held by the host

The jokes were jokes made by the award presenters, many of which he didn't understand.

Yu Dong sat with several producers of "Second World". Sometimes they all laughed, but Yu Dong was the only one who didn't laugh.

Most people might follow others and pretend to smile, but Dong Dong didn't.

After the presenter announced that "Second World" had won the award for Best Art Direction and Props Arrangement, several members of the production team pushed Yu Dong up because he was on the art director and prop advisory team of "Second World"

people.

Logically speaking, this award belongs to Yu Dong.

Being pushed by others, Yu Dong also went up.

Spielberg also went up, and he was quite happy, because he knew that he could not win the grand prize, but he could win one of the other awards.

There were quite a few people going up, five or six of them. Yu Dong was standing behind Spielberg, thinking that he would be able to get through with soy sauce. When Spielberg was happy, he suddenly pointed at Yu Dong and said: "This film

YU has a lot of credit for the movie winning this award."

Spielberg also deliberately stepped aside and exposed Yu Dong to the people in the audience. Yu Dong was reluctant to give up, and smiled at the people below and the camera, which was regarded as saying hello.

However, Spielberg only mentioned Yu Dong and did not let Yu Dong speak. He wanted Yu Dong to come and say a few words, but considering that he did not say it in advance, he was afraid that Yu Dong would not perform well if he was not prepared, so he did not

He rashly asked Yu Dong to go over and speak.

This was also the only time Yu Dong appeared on stage throughout the evening. The rest of the time he was watching the ceremony from the audience.

The biggest winner of this year's Oscars is "Forrest Gump", which was nominated for thirteen awards and finally won five, among which the most important ones were Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.

However, in terms of quantity, "The Second World" is slightly better, because it won six awards in one fell swoop, namely Best Visual Effects, Best Art Direction\Props and Set Design, Best Original Soundtrack, and Best Costume Design

, best sound effects, best makeup.

Although these awards combined are not as good as the Best Picture award, they can be used to make a fuss when promoting later. The news headlines can read ""Second World" became the biggest Oscar winner, winning six awards in one fell swoop, beating "Forrest Gump"

"Biography". If people who don't know why see this news, they will definitely think that "The Second World" swept the Oscars this year.

In fact, Yu Dong was quite surprised that "Second World" could win six awards. After all, the movie's subject matter was not flattering. Originally, he expected that it would be good to win two or three, but he didn't expect it to double.

For these awards, except for the best visual effects, which is stable, it’s hard to say anything else. For example, for the best soundtrack, this year’s “The Lion King” soundtrack was quite good. It was originally favored by film critics, but in the end it was

Lost to "Second World".

The best costume design award may be because there are many original designed clothing categories in "Second World", so the award was given to them.

The best art direction/props and scenery award was given to "Second World", which is the most unexpected thing. Don't look at the word "props" in this award. It is actually an art award. It is generally awarded to those movies whose sets have aesthetic tension.

.

After the award ceremony, some were happy and some were sad, but the dinner that followed was quite satisfactory. Quentin brought two glasses of wine and walked up to Yu Dong and gave him one, "The food tonight was very good, much better than in previous years."

Already."

Yu Dong took the wine glass and asked him, "Have you been here in previous years?"

Quentin suddenly smiled and patted Yu Dong on the shoulder, "You are the first person to ask me this tonight. You are indeed the one who wrote "Fatal Identity". You have good observation skills."

Quentin slapped the wine in Yu Dong's hand and almost spilled it. The key is that he just asked casually, because it was his first time here, and it had nothing to do with his observation ability.

But this is what Quentin thinks. He said excitedly, "Many people are too lazy to think proactively and like to follow blindly. And often only those who do not follow blindly can ultimately achieve success."

To be honest, Yu Dong didn't remember what "follow like sheep" meant at first. Only after hearing it did he finally realize that it meant blindly following.

"YU, I am going to China with the film festival this year. If I have time, I will go to you. Do you have any contact information for me?"

Yu Dong thought for a while, took out a pen and a small notebook from his pocket, and then wrote his landline number and mobile phone number to Quentin: "When you arrive in China, you can call these two numbers to find me."

Quentin happily put away the number and said goodbye to Yu Dong, "We'll chat next time when we have time. I'm going to find someone else. I wish you a pleasant night."

"the same as you."

After Quentin left, Yu Dong was holding the wine glass quietly, occasionally finding something to put in his mouth. He noticed that several people around him wanted to come up and say hello to him, but they never came.

Probably because no one introduced me, I was embarrassed to come here. Not everyone is as familiar as Quentin. It would be better if Yu Dong was an American. The key is that he is Chinese, and others don't know how good Yu Dong is at English.

After a while, a female star in a black dress came over. When she arrived in front of Yu Dong, she introduced herself: "Hello YU, I am Winona Ryder."

Yu Dong recalled for a while and remembered who the other party was. She was the heroine in "Edward Scissorhands", but Yu Dong's impression of her also stayed in the movie "Edward Scissorhands".

The Winona Ryder in front of her has long black hair and strong eyebrows, which is very different from the image in the movie. Speaking of which, Yu Dong and Winona have some intersections, because Winona is also a "

The heroine of "Resident Evil".

Although she was not chosen by Yu Dong as the heroine, Jimmy did show Yu Dong the information of several candidates when the role was decided. At that time, Yu Dong also felt that Winona was the most suitable.

Winona came over to say hello to Yu Dong precisely because of this relationship.

Yu Dong smiled and responded, "Nice to meet you."

Winona was relieved to hear that Yu Dong spoke pretty good English. She had been worried just now about how they would communicate if Yu Dong didn't speak English well, and whether it would be awkward.

She also hesitated to say hello, but as the heroine of the movie adapted from the other person's novel, since she met him, she should come up and say hello.

"I heard from Director Romero that your new book has just been released and there will be a signing event tomorrow. Congratulations."

"Thank you. I have watched your "Edward" and your performance with Johnny Depp was very good."

Hearing Yu Dong's praise, Winona still had a smile on her face, but the smile was a bit strange. Yu Dong also noticed it and was still wondering if he had said a word wrong. He said it anyway because he couldn't say scissors.

She was offended by the word "hand" and the title of the movie as "Edward"? Not really.

Winona quickly adjusted her expression and said, "I will definitely buy a copy of your new book when I have time. I hope to see you again at this time next year. I'll excuse you now."

"Okay, see you later."

After Winona left, Yu Dong still couldn't figure out what he said wrongly. The other party was obviously very interested in chatting with him at first.

But he couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it, which was frustrating.

Maybe they saw Winona and came to chat with Yu Dong, and then other people came over, including directors and actors. Some of them were familiar to Yu Dong, and some had no impression at all.

The Oscar dinner is just for them to socialize, so everyone is unwilling to miss it if they get the opportunity.

The global box office of "The Second World" just exceeded one billion US dollars a few days ago, and it has officially become the number one box office in global film history. As its original author, he has reason to attract the attention of the actors and directors.

You know, Yu Dong has more than one best-selling book. Another "Resident Evil" is about to be released, and the entire film industry is paying attention to this movie. Everyone wants to see whether Romero, the father of zombies, can rely on this

Movies are making a comeback, and I want to see if Yu Dong's novels really have such a profound impact on the box office.

Or should I say, the success of "Second World" mainly depends on Universal and Spielberg.

In addition, anyone who knows a little bit about the book market knows what the name YU has represented from the year before last to now. Without it, it is just two words: bestseller.

Throughout the dinner, Yu Dong was getting to know various people. When it ended, his stomach was empty and he didn't eat anything.

After the dinner, when Yu Dong returned to the hotel, it was already eleven o'clock, and Cheng Yanqiu had not gone to bed yet. When Yu Dong returned, she excitedly took the camera and showed it to Yu Dong: "I saw you on TV and took a photo

Come down."

Yu Dong stretched his head and took a look. The photo was very blurry and he looked very dumb. In the photo, he was standing behind Spielberg, smiling stupidly.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This photography technology is amazing." Yu Dong gave a thumbs up, "It's just that the equipment is not very good, which affects the performance of the photographer."

Cheng Yanqiu pinched Yu Dong's arm and said, "I'm not serious. I didn't take the photo in a hurry. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so blurry."

Yu Dong smiled and said, "There are reruns on TV. If you think the photo is not good, just watch the replay before taking another photo."

"I don't want it. This photo truly records the first time I saw you on TV. It has a different meaning." Cheng Yanqiu put the camera in his arms, as if protecting some treasure.

Yu Dong chuckled and held Cheng Yanqiu in his arms, "What's so good about seeing it on TV? In reality, you can not only watch it, but also touch it."

Cheng Yanqiu pushed him out and said, "Go take a shower quickly."

…

Dan Brown also watched the live broadcast of the Academy Awards ceremony tonight. During the entire ceremony, he only focused on two awards, namely Best Original Score and Best Original Song.

He is more optimistic about "The Lion King" and "Second World".

Speaking of the movie "Second World", he had not planned to watch it before, but someone told him that there were many original songs and original soundtracks in it, so he paid special attention to it. The person did not lie to him, there were indeed many original songs.

There are more songs and soundtracks than usual.

The hit song charts that appear in the movie are all new songs that the production team paid people to write.

But while watching the live TV broadcast, Dan Brown suddenly discovered a familiar face... In fact, there were many familiar faces on TV, but this familiar face was different.

The young man on TV was the one he met in a record store in Hollywood last year. Later, the store owner Howard said that this young man also bought his album.

But I didn't expect to see him again on TV.

And he turned out to be YU.

Since he has watched "The Second World", Dan Brown naturally knows more about the movie and knows that the original novel was written by a person named YU.
