Since the beginning of the new century, the Oscar Awards Ceremony has been held at the famous Dolby Theater.
When the theater was first completed, it was called the Kodak Theater.
The giant company at the time, Kodak, obtained the naming rights of the theater for twenty years at a sky-high price of US$74 million, plus an annual appreciation fee of US$3.6 million.
If nothing else happens, the theater should be called the Kodak Theater until 2021.
But it is a pity that it takes hundreds of years to build, but it can only be destroyed in a day or night.
The giant Kodak suddenly collapsed after more than 130 years of development.
From its peak market capitalization of US$31 billion in 1997, its current market capitalization is only about US$100 million.
The overall value has shrunk to a staggering degree.
And after years of losses, it finally couldn't sustain it for long and applied for bankruptcy protection in 2012. Naturally, it was unable to continue to pay the huge naming fees.
Later, Dolby Laboratories became the theater's new title sponsor, and from then until now, the Kodak Theater has become the Dolby Theater.
Dilirejia briefly told Jiang Fan the origin of this theater, and at the same time nervously stopped Jiang Fan's less than honest hands.
The theater has 3,400 seats, and currently these seats are almost full.
Since they are all film and television stars and celebrities, and the entire award ceremony is being filmed, Dilirejia is very worried that Jiang Fan's little moves will be discovered or recorded.
Although Jiang Fan's actions were very subtle.
"Okay, stop making trouble. You can do whatever you want when you go back tonight, okay? I didn't promise you yesterday, so I'll let you do it tonight!"
A little flustered by the trouble, Dilirejia hurriedly whispered.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he said, "Really? You agreed?"
"Promise! Promise! Be more honest! If you are really photographed, you will be embarrassed!"
Dilirejia looked helpless.
Jiang Fan achieved his goal and stopped with a smile.
The award ceremony started soon. After the opening performance, the host made a series of gags, mixed with unique American humor, which made the whole audience laugh.
Jiang Fan felt a little bored, especially when watching these performances that didn't quite meet his aesthetics. He always felt that it was not as attractive as sneaking up on Dilirejia.
But now the ceremony has begun after all, and dozens of cameras can record every corner of the theater at 360 degrees.
It would indeed be a bit bad if he continued to rape Dilirejia at this time, so Jiang Fan could only endure it.
The Animated Short Film and Animated Feature Film Awards were awarded quickly, followed by the Short Film Award, Documentary Award, Costume Design Award and Hair and Makeup Design Award.
Among these awards, only the costume design of "The Best in the World" was nominated, but it failed to win.
The entire crew was fully mentally prepared for not receiving this award.
After all, it is a completely oriental style of clothing design. It is incredible to be nominated for a nomination. No one expects to actually win the award.
Immediately afterwards, the Photography Award and the Visual Effects Award were awarded. "The Best in the World" was nominated for both awards, and finally won the visual effects statuette!
After the award was announced, the entire crew stood up and cheered.
Although it is only a small award, it is an excellent start! And at least it means that "The Best in the World" will not return empty-handed in this Oscar!
Unexpectedly, this turned out to be the beginning of a bumper harvest for "The Best in the World" at this year's Oscars!
Subsequently, "The Best in the World" was nominated for four awards including Best Foreign Language Film, Best Sound Effects, Best Editing and Best Art Direction. It also won four statuettes in a row!
Coupled with the best visual effects in the front and the five statuettes in hand, the crew of "The Best in the World" instantly became the focus of the entire theater!
After being shortlisted for the Best Screenplay Award, "The Best in the World" finally missed again. The winner was a pure black literary film.
But after a while, before the crew of "The Best in the World" had time to feel the loss, the Best Director Award went to Zhang Dongjie!
So far, the crew of "The Best in the World" has been nominated for nine Oscars and won six statuettes among them!
It also includes the extremely valuable Best Director!
Even if he doesn't win the next award, "The Best in the World" has already achieved unprecedented success!
"I really didn't expect that these people would agree with our movie so much."
Dilirejia leaned close to Jiang Fan's ear with a smile on her face, and continued in a low voice: "Actually, the Oscars have never been very fond of commercial films. Even the film with the largest box office in film history was nominated for nine Oscars that year.
Nominated, but in the end, it only won three statuettes, and those were three less important awards for visual effects, art direction and best photography."
"As for Best Picture and Best Director, although they were nominated, they missed out in the end. It was still the King of the World's movie. So it is conceivable that Director Zhang can win the best film with this "The Best in the World"
How excited will he be to win the Oscar for the best director?"
Jiang Fan nodded suddenly and whispered: "If you put it this way, doesn't it mean that your best actor and actress have no hope? After all, awards must be distributed evenly, right? It's impossible for us to give them all.
They won the film, not to mention that ours is still a foreign film to them."
"There is no hope for Best Actor and Actor in the first place. Let alone winning the award, even if you want to be nominated, it is very, very difficult. Sikong Sheng and I know this very well. In fact, being able to attend the ceremony is enough to increase one's worth. Back then
Dafu is so awesome, almost swept the Oscars, and still didn't win any acting awards, but it doesn't affect DiCaprio becoming a box office bomb, there is no inevitable connection."
Dilirejia looked at Jiang Fan with a smile, and then said: "But you are very promising for Best Supporting Actor. After the movie was released, I read many movie reviews, both from ordinary movie fans and professional movie critics.
Everyone is full of praise for your performance in the movie."
While Dilireja was speaking, the awards for Best Supporting Actress had already been handed out.
The next award is for Best Supporting Actor.
After the two supporting actor performance awards are awarded, there will be the performance awards for the two leading actors, and then the final selection of the best picture, the entire awards ceremony will come to an end.
In other words, it is almost the end of the awards ceremony.
As the award presenters walked onto the stage, the big screen began to show the nominees for Best Supporting Actor.
"Number One in the World", Jiang Fan, is impressively on the list!
