Just as Yi Feiyang and Michael Jackson were chatting happily, the great director Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and others who were guests of the Oscars came over.
"Dear Yi, we are all optimistic about you this time. If you really win the best director, you can treat us to a big drink!" Spielberg, an old friend, said with a smile.
"Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I will be the host!" Yi Feiyang also smiled, "But why don't you always stutter? When you mention asking me to treat, you still speak so fluently?"
"Haha, this is my secret!" Spielberg blinked mischievously. "By the way, dear Yi, I forgot to introduce you, this is my old-timer, the great director Martin Scico
Mr. Seth, come on, let’s get to know each other!”
"I have long admired you, Mr. Martin!" Yi Feiyang happily held the hand of the old Hollywood director.
If there is any great director who is the most respected in the whole of Hollywood, it is undoubtedly the old man in front of him.
Yes, Martin Scorsese is a famous "ageless fairy" and "old boy" in the Hollywood director world. He is full of energy and has amazing creative power. As an American realist film director, he is also a truly prolific director.
Martin Sr. was born on November 17, 1942. He was a representative figure of the new Hollywood generation of directors in the United States at that time. His works are often about these themes: Italian-American identity, sin and redemption in the Catholic sense, and violence in American society.
Questions, etc., he is recognized as one of the most influential post-war film directors in the United States. In addition, Old Martin is the winner of the Oscar for Best Director, the Cannes Palme d'Or and the Berlin Golden Bear! As a world-class
A film master, his representative works include "Raging Bull", "The Age of Innocence", "Gangs of New York", and the previous Oscar-winning blockbuster "The Wolf of Wall Street" by Leonardo DiCaprio.
Faced with Yi Feiyang's sincere greetings, Old Martin seemed very happy, so he joked: "Have you long admired your famous name? Haha, I am also very familiar with you! Young man, your news is all over the streets in Hollywood, even if I want to
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know!”
"Thank you for your compliment... It's just a pity that they paid too much attention to me as a person, but not to my drama!" Yi Feiyang shrugged and said helplessly.
"A play is like life. Directors and actors are the same. They are both enjoyable... I think I have said this to anyone before, Spielberg, am I talking to you... Directors and actors are bitches
The prostitutes and prostitutes will bring high dynasties to the audience, and they will be high dynasties one after another!"
"Yes, this is your classic saying. I always remember it!" Spielberg said with a smile.
"So, young man..." Martin looked at Yi Feiyang, "Don't care about those people's eyes. Just do your best in filming. Like Berg said, I also hope you will win the award!"
It is rare for Yi Feiyang to be recognized by such an old-timer. At least it proves that his efforts are not in vain.
Films, regardless of national boundaries, belong to the third category of art. In a sense, I can be considered a famous artist.
"You know, Yi, your peripheral stakes this time are very high..." Suddenly, the great director Martin said mysteriously.
"Outside bets?"
"What, don't you know yet?" Martin glanced at Yi Feiyang strangely.
"Your odds are very high, because everyone thinks that the Oscar for Best Director cannot be awarded to a Chinese! But I am very optimistic about you. I secretly bought you a hundred dollars!"
God, are you thinking too highly of yourself? You only bought a hundred?! Yi Feiyang was speechless. He glanced at old buddy Spielberg, that means, what about you, buddy? How much did you buy?
Spielberg adjusted his glasses awkwardly, "Yi, I support you mentally! Yes, I absolutely support you! But I'm not very good at betting, so my wife helped me buy a $10,000 favorite.
Of course, the hot one is not you!"
Yi Feiyang was speechless again.
Emotional support is of no use!
It looks like my situation is really bad!
No, you can’t weaken your momentum!
So in front of Martin and Spielberg, Yi Feiyang snapped his fingers and called the people around him, "Go, call fat guy Gao Jiabao, that Oscar peripheral bet, buy me 100,000 US dollars...
…Oh no, I win for one million dollars!”
Martin and Spielberg were both dumbfounded.
"Honey, you don't have to make it so big, right?!"
"Yes, Yi, gambling too much is harmful to your health!"
The two advised that they were not worried that Yi Feiyang could not afford to lose, but that they were worried that Yi Feiyang would lose the trophy later and lose the bet, which would be too much for him.
"It doesn't matter, I can still afford to lose this little money!" Yi Feiyang smiled proudly.
Martin and Spielberg looked at each other and cursed inwardly, "Damn it, I'm going big this time!"
…
In the Oscar peripheral betting company, the phone was ringing constantly, and the receptionists who were temporarily transferred kept accepting various bets.
The small ones range from ten dollars to one hundred dollars, the large ones range from several thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, and the larger ones are hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands...
Suddenly, an order flew in!
One million dollars!
Everyone was stunned.
It wasn't because the amount of the order was too large. They, the gambling people, had never seen such a large order, but the company manager immediately reported the order to Mr. Kerkorian, the boss behind the gaming company.
That's right, it's the legendary gambling king Kerkorian.
The madman Kerkorian who was also in charge of MGM and kept dividing and selling MGM.
At this time, Kerkorian was eating French lobster on a napkin. He had a habit of eating and drinking heavily when he was stressed.
Then, he saw this list, just like his subordinates. His first reaction was: Is there a mistake?
I'm not surprised by the amount of the order, but I'm surprised that the damn Chinese won by buying this order!
God, you know, China Yi's chance of winning is very low, almost 30 to 1. That is to say, if China Yi wins the Oscar for Best Director, then for every dollar that an outsider comes in, he will have to pay 30.
Dollars!
How much do you have to pay for 1 million US dollars?
Of course it’s 30 million!
Damn, is this guy an idiot!
Kerkorian wiped his mouth in confusion. He had inside information. That damn Chinaman wouldn't win the prize. Well, Mr. Abbas wouldn't lie to me. So wouldn't this list be free money for him to spend?
?!Hahaha!
"Accept this order, I will make this idiot lose his pants!" Kerkorian said happily.
For a super gambler, the happiest thing is that he knows what the trump card is, but there are still many fools running into it!
…
The Oscars are about to begin, celebrities are taking their seats one after another, and cast members such as Yi Feiyang and Will Smith are joining.
Will Smith was dressed very stylishly tonight. Although not as eye-catching as Yi Feiyang, his black prince outfit still made him look elegant.
Will came with his wife Jada, holding baby Jaden in his arms, who is also a young actor in the drama "Happiness".
In addition, former US President Bill Clinton, who played with Will, also attended the ceremony in full dress, but unfortunately, his wife Hillary did not come. The affairs of this "Iron Lady" who is gradually becoming famous in American politics
There are too many, not as "leisurely" as her husband Clinton, so as soon as a man gets off work, he will change from the mainstay of the family to the wife slave of the family. At least, that's the case for Clinton now, although he won't be able to do laundry and cook.
, but he really does a lot of housework. Alas! It can be considered retribution, because he had an affair with Lewinsky before.
Although Hillary did not come, their baby daughter Chelsea did. Chelsea being by Clinton's side would at least not make him feel "overwhelmed".
Chelsea is not that kind of pretty girl, but she is definitely a lady type, so Will Smith's wife likes her very much, and little Jaden also likes her. Compared to former President Clinton, she seems to be more popular with people. Those
Reporters are also chasing Chelsea to find out about her boyfriend...
In contrast, Clinton is always depressed. What is meant by "a laid-off president is worse than a chicken"? When you see that not many people pay attention to him, you understand... Of course, this is a joke. In fact, Clinton walked all the way from the red carpet to
Along the way, I also broke through the defense lines of many reporters and media, and then I broke out of the encirclement and came here. Now I am just taking a short rest.
At this moment, after Yi Feiyang, Clinton, and Will reunited, it was almost time. The Oscar ceremony was about to begin. The atmosphere at the entire party was extremely warm, but people had different thoughts. Especially those who were nominated for the leading roles.
We all want to fight for a place on this stage. Being able to step on this stage, even if it only happens once in a lifetime, is enough of an honor. Then in the future, we will have this line in our movies: "Oscar Best Actor"
, starring in so-and-so." Therefore, the temptation of fame is very great, because fame and fortune go together, which also means that the net worth of each movie starring one's own starring will rise to a higher level.
Being nominated is also a very good honor. After all, there are more than thousands of movies produced in Hollywood every year. However, there are not many movies nominated this year, especially when it comes to nominations for a single award. There are only four or five movies competing at the same time.
So the nomination itself is a reward for the film.
Yi Feiyang's heart remains calm enough. However, he is still full of expectations when it comes to the nomination for Best Director, even though the opponents are very strong, especially for awesome movies like "Gladiator"...
