Chapter 433 The Oscars
While drinking coffee and looking at the Los Angeles Times in his hand, Jing Jian was happy. Zhao Xia ate breakfast and glanced at him: "What's wrong? You can even enjoy reading newspapers?" In recent days, Zhao Xia seems to have a lot of tempers.
"Haha, Xia'er." Jing Jian put down the newspaper with a smile, "My film won five Oscar nominations. The most funny thing is that I was nominated for the best supporting actor. Hahaha!" This was completely unexpected. It can only be said that the people of the US government now have a good impression of China, and Jing Jian's reputation is also very loud enough, so there must be a lot of impression points in it.
"Is that so? Do you still have a talent for acting?" Zhao Xia also felt very interesting. Suddenly, she said with a sarcasm, "Yes, she will perform in front of a silly woman like me."
"..." Jing Jian picked up the newspaper again and began to pretend to be stupid.
Zhao Xia angrily drank the juice: "Why are those film artists blind? Will you nominate?"
"Haha. I spent more than 2 million US dollars. Now I have to add 500,000 yuan in five nominations." Jing Jian explained with a smile.
"Ah? Are you bribed?" Zhao Xia was very surprised.
"That's called PR! You're so ugly." Jing Jian said with a smile, "The PR company hired is a competition within the rules."
The Oscars were voted by more than a thousand members of the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences. Although money canvassing is prohibited, there are still many edge balls. For example, many members have faded out of the film industry and cannot watch a few movies a year; for example, some members are already very poor. There is a lot of room for operation here.
Generally speaking, sending videotapes to each member at least requires it. For those with great wealth, like Jing Jian, this time, they all offer the latest videotape. There is also a screening reception, and each member participating has a "small gift". As for the private money transactions, it will be operated by the public relations company anyway.
Zhao Xia scoffed at Jing Jiantian's shameless show-off: "So that's how you got the nomination? Cheating! Moral corruption!"
"Hey." Jing Jian smiled, "I'm your man! I won't say anything, are you interested in participating together? Although there is definitely no chance to win an award, you can also meet those big Hollywood stars, all of whom are living people?"
"Bah! I won't go. You can find your Persian cat, go blond cat!"
Jing Jian shook his head with a smile and continued to read the newspaper. Zhao Xia was still sulking. A few days ago, she saw Qin Zi from afar and was actually pushing a stroller. Thinking that her belly was so incompetent, Zhao Xia was already anxious...
...
In the end, Zhao Xia still refused to accompany Jing Jian to the award ceremony. However, Jing Jian was very familiar with Zhao Xia's personality, and she really didn't like to show up in public. So on the day of the award ceremony, Jing Jian came to the Holy Citizens Auditorium alone.
The Holy Citizen Auditorium in Los Angeles has always been the traditional Oscars awards venue. It was not until the scale expanded and the global broadcast that it was changed to other locations. However, on this day, it was the annual event in the film industry. Men and women and guests were all beautiful, and they all stepped on this glorious red carpet under the flashing spotlights.
Jing Jian quickly walked across the red carpet and did not stay much. He mainly came to support the show today, so there was no need to show it in front of the movie fans. When Jing Jian sat in his seat, he found that almost all the crew members were here, and even Zhang Wulang rushed over from Hong Kong.
He shook hands one by one, Jing Jian asked Zhang Wulang with a smile: "Fifth Brother! How is Hong Kong?"
Zhang Wulang smiled and shook his head: "The two I filmed only exceeded 10 million. Brother Sanmao is good. The one I just painted has 24 million, and it's a good start!"
Jing Jian comforted: "Just make money, you can do it with a small cost?"
Zhang Wulang said: "There are still many shortcomings as a director. Mr. Jing, if you take a picture again in the future, I will still think of studying in Hollywood."
Seeing that the award ceremony was about to begin, Jing Jian nodded with a smile: "Look at the opportunity. It should be OK!"
This Academy Awards ceremony was quite interesting and there was no host arrangement. However, the atmosphere was equally warm. First of all, the best costume and best long animation were won by "Dangerous Dating" and "Tin Toys" from Pixar Animation Factory, breaking Disney's long-term monopoly in the animation awards.
However, at that time, no one would have thought that Pixar Animation Factory would create a large number of popular cartoons, such as "Toy Story" and "Monster Factory", which even shook Disney's status in cartoons. If his boss Steve Jobs had not returned to Apple and agreed to be acquired by Disney, he might have really performed a "Two Heroes".
There were still several small awards followed. Finally, it was the first time to be nominated - Best Supporting Actor. When the last Best Supporting Actress Olympia Dukakis was the guest of the awards, he introduced the nominees and read "Bramble", the audience burst into laughter with kindness. It has to be said that Jing Jian is now the most famous Chinese in Hollywood.
However, it was not in the end. The best supporting actor was won by Kevin Crane. He performed well in "A Fish named Wanda", which was worthy of his name. Jing Jian also gave him warm applause.
The award ceremony continued, and there were still several small awards. Jing Jian suddenly felt a little strange and asked Liu Pajin beside him, "Why is Lumina not here? Didn't she also get the nomination today?"
Liupakin smiled and said, "She is in the backstage and will be a guest performing later. Don't you know?"
Jing Jian smiled: "Some days I haven't contacted each other. How about the second part?"
"It has been completed and edited."
Jing Jian did not realize that Liu Pajin's smile was a little unnatural: "I will definitely attend the premiere. When will it be released?"
"Summer time! The date has not been finalized yet."
While speaking, it was already the second nomination. Philip was also nominated in the best original script. Philip's expression was quite nervous, but when the guest read "Rain Man", he could only sigh regretfully. This time his opponent was too strong, and "Rain Man" is a classic film in terms of artistic and prestige.
Finally, Lumina's performance appeared. She was cool and youthful, singing and dancing, making the atmosphere warm. Especially when she saw Jing Jian below, Lumina waved her hand mischievously, which attracted a burst of laughter, and even gave Jing Jian a few close-ups.
Liupakin, who was standing beside him, joked: "Bramble, you are on the news again."
Jing Jian also seemed helpless: "Is pure friendship that difficult?"
Chapter completed!
