Excerpts from "Fatal Crisis" were playing on the big screen on the stage.
In the clip, the visual experience given by starring Harris' various flowing movements is very exciting...
From a distance, it looks like a subversive visual feast!
Zhao Sicheng was very excited!
The editing of "Fatal Crisis" is undoubtedly very excellent, whether in terms of details or technology, the editing technology is almost perfect, even impeccable.
Even watching it for the second time, it still makes people feel full and hearty, and it is even hard to believe that the total global box office of such a movie is less than 100 million US dollars.
However, these are no longer important to Zhao Sicheng.
The important thing is that the clips of "Fatal Crisis" are played first!
What does this mean?
This shows that this movie is the most popular among the nominees, and it is also the movie that is favored by the most judges.
After the clips from the movie "Legacy" have been played, the next movie is called "Descendants of Man", which is a work produced by Universal Pictures and directed by director Casilon Jetton.
Zhao Sicheng stared at this movie with burning eyes. His editing was very good, but it was not as smooth as "Fatal Crisis", at least he felt it was not as smooth as "Fatal Crisis"!
After "Descendants of Man" was accepted, it was turned into a movie called "Tower of Babel". The director of this movie was a new director from Mexico.
Zhao Sicheng saw the footage of "Tower of Babel" and judged that this movie was not as good as his "Fatal Crisis". Because it was a new director, the plot lacked tension...
After this movie, there will be another movie called "Flight"...
This movie is not as good as "Legal"!
When the clips ended, Zhao Sicheng almost jumped up with excitement. Looking at the clips alone, these movies are incomparable to "Fatal Crisis"!
Too far, too far!
"Fatal Crisis" is going to win an award!
He's going to win an award!
At this moment, the unwillingness, discomfort, and humiliation he had suffered completely dissipated.
The excitement in his heart could not be suppressed, and he even wanted to stand up. The scene of him leaving China kept reappearing in his mind.
His eyes turned cold.
When the camera fell on him, his expression suddenly changed into a confident and calm smile, keeping himself elegant.
He is very happy!
Those stupid Chinese executives must be held responsible for their actions now!
The host on the stage held the envelope and joked about it, but did not announce who won the award. He just asked another guest to guess who had a higher probability of winning.
Zhao Sicheng's smile appeared in the camera again...
There is no doubt that the film "Fatal Crisis" is definitely the best among these nominated films based on the editing results alone.
Zhao Sicheng's heart is trembling!
The hostess DeGeneres had a sweet smile on her face and watched the guests slowly open the envelopes...
Under the camera, as if to exaggerate this sense of mystery, the guests opened the envelopes very slowly, and even appeared on the screen as if a movie was being played in slow motion!
hurry up!
Hurry up!
Zhao Sicheng's heart trembled even more!
“Congratulations on ‘Tower of Babel’!”
"???"
Zhao Sicheng's eyes widened in disbelief!
He only felt a buzzing sound in his head.
He sat down on the chair and watched in disbelief as the new Mexican director stood up excitedly and danced their local dance loudly.
Zhao Sicheng hoped that the host was spoofing, but the host did not announce that he was spoofing until the black Mexican director came on stage and held the Oscar trophy.
The Mexican director made various touching remarks on it, saying that it was not easy when he was making a movie...
Zhao Sicheng didn't listen to a word.
He just felt that his mind was blank and his eyes were dull!
Why lose?
Why lose!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
He couldn't understand that "Fatal Crisis" was obviously better edited than "Tower of Babel", and even the box office was more than twice as good as "Tower of Babel", and its influence was also stronger.
But why did it lose to such a movie?
Shady!
This is absolutely shady!
Breathing heavily, he watched the Mexican director step onto the stage, and then walked off excitedly.
After a long time, he recovered. When he thought that Tom was talking about Oscars and said that "Fatal Crisis" had a high probability of winning, but could only win one award, his original disappointment slowly turned into excitement.
.
The Best Editing award was lost, but the Best Screenplay award should be...
be mine!
Definitely mine!
……………………
Zhou Yang sat in his seat.
After seeing that "Fatal Crisis" was not selected, his mood did not change much.
He was very uneasy.
As the Best Screenplay Award got closer and closer, his uneasiness became more and more intense.
There is no doubt that the Oscar awards are highly anticipated and unique in this world.
but……
The more this happens, the more you need to stay awake.
After feeling the looks in the eyes of some black buddies not far away, Zhou Yang knew that he was standing on the cusp of the storm!
The higher he climbs, the less safe he becomes, and the more he will be regarded as a force that can be leveraged by some "manipulators" in the dark.
Possibilities flashed through Zhou Yang's mind. The more he thought about it because he was insecure deep in his heart, the more he felt that the future outcome would not be too good.
Shoot the first bird!
Shoot the first bird!
Zhou Yang reminded himself twice in a row.
At the Oscars ceremony, marginal awards were awarded one after another, and there were bursts of applause, cheers, screams, and blessings.
Finally, it was the turn of the Best Screenplay Award.
There was no smile on Zhou Yang's face, he was like a bystander, looking dully at the big screen.
The scene of "Electric Shock" was played on the big screen. After a long time, the audience was still frightened and exclaimed by the scene in the movie!
The camera fell on Zhou Yang's face.
"Oh, God!"
"God, what's that expression on his face?"
"He seems unhappy!"
"Are you too nervous?"
"Seems to be……"
"..."
Under the camera, Zhou Yang's expression was very dull and unusual. There was no second person to be found at the Oscars ceremony, which caused waves of discussion.
Not far away, Zhao Sicheng clenched his fists and stared nervously at the big screen. He saw the trailer for "Fatal Crisis" playing again.
His heart seemed to jump out of his throat.
Although he firmly believes that "Fatal Crisis" will basically win the award, the tension still exists!
Time seemed to slow down very slowly at this moment.
He felt like his breathing had stopped.
His palms were covered in sweat...
Finally, after all the clips were played, he saw the host DeGeneres holding the card with a bright smile. She glanced at the words on the card, and then the bright smile turned into surprise, and then she shook her hand. Holding the microphone...
"No, no, this is absolutely wrong! There is a shady story, a shady story, there is definitely a shady story, I want to complain, I want to complain!"
"This is not reality!"
All kinds of emotions surged in Zhao Sicheng's heart instantly. He opened his mouth, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.
In an instant, he stood up, as if he had lost his mind, pointed at the Oscars stage, and shouted excitedly.
"Fatal" is a movie that can bring a sense of honor to the United States, but "Saw" is a movie that shames the United States and deliberately vilifies the United States. How can it win? Why should it win?
He can accept that "Fatal Crisis" does not win, but he cannot accept that "Saw" wins.
Tom next to him patted him on the shoulder, a look of regret flashed across his face, he sighed but didn't say anything, then stood up and turned around to leave.
Looking at the empty seats, Zhao Sicheng felt empty deep in his heart.
……………………
Zhou Yang's thinking was dull.
He stared blankly as his blank expression flashed across the screen on the stage.
He felt the fiery eyes of a group of black brothers. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he vaguely saw the angry expressions in the eyes of the white actors...
Zhou Yang walked onto the stage.
Suddenly!
It was so blurry that he didn't even know what he was going to say on the stage. In the end, he thanked this and then that...
After thanking him, he walked off the stage and returned to his seat in a daze.
He won an award!
Oscar for Best Screenplay!
He is the first Chinese director in the Chinese film industry to win the entire award, and he has achieved zero breakthrough for China just like Berlin did back then!
However, deep down in his heart, he didn't know why and couldn't be happy.
The black people were cheering, but the white people were extremely angry. They began to question the unfairness of the Oscars. Some people were cursing on the spot, feeling that Oscar had given in to pressure from outside.
He clearly felt the huge contradiction in the entire venue. He saw Zhao Sicheng yelling and pointing in his direction angrily.
He felt himself trapped in a whirlpool, starting to sink deeper and deeper.
This state of confusion lasted for a long time...
No matter who comes on stage to win an award, there will always be waves of doubts and scoldings about Zhou Yang.
Then...
Zhou Yang saw the Oscar for Best Actor being revealed, and then he saw Will Smith walking onto the stage. Afterwards, there was no joy in holding the trophy. Instead, his expression was a little angry, and his emotions were vaguely out of control!
He took the microphone and did not say an acceptance speech, but took a deep breath in front of everyone!
"Mr. Zhou Yang deserves the Best Screenplay Award. He is more suitable to win the award than a garbage fairy tale movie like "Fatal Crisis"!"
“There is no shady story at the Oscars!”
"When did it become shady for black people to win awards?"
“When did the Oscars become an award only for white people?”
"..."
"I announce that I will officially participate in "Struggle" directed by Mr. Zhou Yang!"
"Mr. Zhou Yang will prove himself and slap you hard with his works!"
"..."
When Zhou Yang heard this sentence, he was immediately stunned!
