Hearing Sophia Loren read out "Stealing Love", Nancy sat down in her seat without half the strength, and in just a few dozen seconds, she seemed to have gone through several years.

The applause of everyone in the audience rang out, and she reluctantly stood up and walked towards the stage.

Her seat was a little far from the podium, and there were some chattering voices in addition to applause in her ears along the way, although the voice was small, but she heard it clearly.

"John Chris Deng is a woman?"

"No, it's Nancy Josephson, John Chris Deng's agent. ”

"Then John Chris Deng didn't come, and he didn't come on such an important day!"

"Hmph! I guess I don't think I have a chance to win the award, so I sent my agent here, and now that the award is not there, I don't know what the old guys in the academy will do to him in the future. ”

"He deserved it. ”

When Nancy heard these discussions, she felt a little bad in her heart, it's okay that John didn't win the award, once the winner is not there, it will be considered disrespectful to the Academy Awards, the old man of the academy is very taboo about this kind of thing, and at the same time, these old men are also very stingy, and they may not be able to wear small shoes for John in the future.

Thinking of this, Nancy clenched her fists. "Wait and try to perform well on stage, so that everyone forgets that John didn't come. ”

A few old men from the academy sitting in the front row saw that the person who came to accept the award was Nancy, and their faces obviously changed, this kind of thing of accepting the award on behalf of the Oscars also exists, but it will definitely not be a newcomer.

And Sophia Loren on the stage is still smiling, but she is a little surprised, the newcomer releases the Oscar pigeons, she has seen this kind of thing a few times from the film decades, and the movie stars who released the pigeons have never appeared on the Oscar stage again, she can't help but feel a little sorry for John, a talented newcomer director will have nothing to do with the Oscars after an absence.

"Hello Ms. Roland. Nancy and Sophia Loren hugged softly, and at the same time took advantage of the hug to introduce themselves. "I'm Nancy Josephson, John Criss Deng's agent, you can just call me Nancy. ”

"Hello Nancy!" Sophia Loren smiled and nodded, handing the golden figure to Nancy, and then stepped aside to wait for Nancy to give her acceptance speech.

Nancy held the little golden figure in both hands, walked to the microphone with a smile, looked at the dense crowd under the stage and said:

"I actually want to get excited, but unfortunately I'm not John Chris Deng!"

"Hahaha......"

Everyone in the audience was amused by her.

Nancy continued. "Director John Chris Deng was sick with the flu and was afraid of infecting everyone so much that the whole of Hollywood went on strike, so he asked me to attend the awards ceremony on his behalf.

Before I came, he asked me to bring a few words.

He said that it was his dream to be recognized by his peers and get a little golden man, and he thanked the organizing committee for giving him this supreme honor, thanked his peers for their recognition of his work, and thanked the film for making his life meaningful.

In the end, he said: It is the luckiest thing in his life to be born in this great era and to be able to walk with all of you here. Nancy said and bowed.

There was a round of applause from the audience, no matter why John didn't come, but at this moment Nancy's speech deserved their standing up and applause.

John, who was thousands of miles away, was also very satisfied with Nancy's speech, and after seeing Nancy step down, he got up and turned off the TV and went back to the study to continue drawing the storyboard, and he would be able to draw it in a few days, and then he would be able to devote himself to the filming of "Forrest Gump".

At the same time, after Nancy's acceptance speech, she walked through the Oscar door of glory to the backstage, and according to the custom, she also had to give a few brief words of interview to reporters.

"Miss Josephson, may I ask if Director Chris Deng has already started preparing for the new work?"

"Yes!" Nancy nodded. "Director Chris Deng's new film will start shooting in June. ”

"Can you tell me the name of the movie?"

"Of course. "Nancy was very generous. "The movie is called Forrest Gump, and it is based on the novel of the same name by the famous writer Winston Glum. ”

"Who will star in the starring role?" The reporter wanted to know, after all, this is the youngest new work directed by the 100 million yuan club.

"You'll find out when we wait for the press conference, and I promise you'll be amazed by then. After Nancy finished speaking, she quickly left the backstage and walked towards the hall without waiting for the reporter to continue to ask questions.

She has successfully aroused the interest of reporters, there is no need to spoil the drama, only if you put one at intervals, it will arouse people's endless curiosity.

The awards ceremony continued, Anthony Hopkins won Best Actor, Jodie Foster was also her actress, and John's little butterfly wings only instigated the Academy Award for Best Song, as for the rest.

The day after the awards ceremony, the major media dedicated their pages to the awards ceremony on the first day, and the focus was naturally on the actor and actress, and the worse ones were given to the best film and best director, as for what Nancy said in the backstage interview, it was also published, but in some corners, I knew at a glance that it was not very important, but Nancy didn't think about how much of a sensation, the promotion of "Forrest Gump" has not yet begun, and now there are some corners and corners that are enough.

Although the corners and corners don't get as much attention as the front-page headlines, they are still read by some people, and Charles is one of them.

Early in the morning, Charles arrived at Miramax Films in New York, sat in Harvey Weinstein's seat, and watched with relish, a copy of The New York Times in his hand, which was exactly what Nancy had said backstage at the awards ceremony.

As for the owner of this office, Harvey Weinstein was waiting attentively, and his fat face had been smiling since the moment Charles stepped into the office.

Nancy's interview was very small, and Charles casually threw the newspaper on the table after reading it, looked at Harvey Waynes with a wrinkled face on the side and asked.

"Do you know John Chris Deng's new work Forrest Gump?"

"Yes, I've read the original. Harvey Waynes hurriedly replied. "CAA's Michael Ovitz is at odds with John Chris Deng because of the copyright on this novel. ”

Charles nodded, he knew about it. "So the adaptation of this novel into a movie has a great market prospect?"

Charles was in the film and television industry for the first time, and although he didn't know a lot about it, he knew that what could make Michael Ovitz do something would be extraordinary.

Harvey Waynes thought for a moment. "I can't guarantee whether there is a market prospect for literary and artistic films, after all, this kind of film is going to the award. ”'

Harvey Waynes said it very tactfully, but it is true, not to mention whether there is a market prospect for this type of literary film, God bless if it can protect its capital.

"So John Chris Deng made this film for the Academy Awards?" Charles asked after a moment's thought.

"Yes. Harvey Waynes nodded. "Best Director is still too young, so his aim should be to go for Best Picture. Harvey Waynes affirmed.

"Oh, I see......" Charles touched his chin. "Since John Chris Deng is going to the Oscars, let's also join in the fun, do you have any good works in your hands, the kind that can compete with "Forrest Gump"?"

"Well......" Harvey Waynes thought for a moment, and thought through the excellent scripts in his mind one by one.

"Boss, there is a French director who is looking for investment recently, he has a good work in his hand, and the prototype of "Forrest Gump" is derived from the novel, the difference is that the author of this novel in his hands is more famous than the author of "Forrest Gump". ”

"Oh. Charles was pleasantly surprised. "What works. ”

"Tiffin King's Tales of the Four Seasons. Harvey Waynes replied.

"Then let him come to the company to talk, if you can, we will vote." "Charles is like an upstart, with a look like I'm not short of money.

"Okay, I'll call him. Harvey Waynes said, picking up the phone on the desk.
