As the Oscars came out one after another, Penelope Cruz, who was the guest of honor for Best Foreign Language Film, took to the stage, said a few words against the war, and then gave up the big screen behind him.

One film after another on the big screen is introduced that has been nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.

"Paradise Hotel, Paula van der Oster, A Man Without a Past, Aki Kaurismäki, Hero, Righteous Warrior, Love in Africa, Carolyn Link, City of God, Fernando Merrils, ......"

Two years ago, Ang Lee won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", a Chinese martial arts film, which gained countless prestige and money, and also inspired the lingering Oscar plot of directors in the East.

So, Director Zhang followed the trend of a super martial arts production, and under the operation of Embassy Pictures, it appeared at this Oscars, wanting to compete for the best foreign language film.

Ronan quietly looked at Qin Jun's rain of arrows like locusts crossing the big screen, and knew very well in his heart that the crew of "Hero" was going to return disappointed.

Yu Jiaolong next to him was thinking carefully, although "Hero" has little chance of winning the award, but if he really wants to win the best foreign language film, should he go up with the director to accept the award?

The moment this thought flashed, she gave up, and now she is also a star with a coffee position and status, and she can't do anything that damages her style.

Not far from the crew of "Heroes", the crew of "City of God" looked at Penelope Cruz expectantly, as if Penelope Cruz must have read the name of "City of God".

Keylor Navas is in the chest, "City of God" itself is of first-class quality, the professional reputation is so good that it can't be better, the subject matter is also suitable for the Oscars, Lionsgate has done all the publicity and public relations work in place, and the Oscar Best Foreign Language Film is already beckoning to them.

A good movie is totally worthy of an Oscar statuette.

In most of the predictions before the ceremony, "City of God" was the number one favorite for best foreign language film.

No one can deny the excellence of this film.

"These are very good films, and unfortunately there can only be one winner. Penelope Cruz opened the envelope, pulled out the card, looked at it, and announced, "The winner of the best foreign language film was "Love in Africa, congratulations to Caroline Link!"

A German film took home the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film.

Applause rang out, and a female director walked towards the stage.

Navas is a little confused, how could this be the result? Why did he suddenly become an upset? The underdog stepped on Lionsgate?

Despite the subconscious applause, Navas's face was a little ugly: what the hell were the Oscar judges thinking?

Ronan was also a little surprised that "City of God" didn't win the award!

It can only be said that the Oscars deserve to be the Oscars, and the quality of the film cannot determine the award at all.

As for the crew of "Hero", disappointment is inevitable, but I was mentally prepared before, and I am not surprised that I missed the best foreign language film.

Zhang Guoshi is also a sensible person, knowing that "Hero" has an obvious disadvantage in the Oscars compared with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Strictly speaking, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is made for Westerners, and what he made is an Oriental film after all.

Zhang Guoshi remembered that Xu Ligong said that when Ang Lee led people to adapt the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it was first completed in English, and then translated into Chinese, and as for many expression techniques and details, they were all to cater to American tastes.

His family knows his own affairs, and Zhang Guoshi knows very well that he can't make this kind of film.

It's a pity that "Hero" only received one nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, and the Oscar journey has ended early.

Zhang Guoshi suddenly turned his head to look at the crew of "City of God", and suddenly felt less depressed, the most depressed people in this award should be Lionsgate and the crew of "City of God", right?

The award ceremony continues.

As in the past, films and characters are never the only factors that win awards, and there are so many things that can affect the Oscars.

Although the theme of the party was 'moderately reflecting reality' and adjusted according to the situation, and although the black evening dresses of many stars also set a solemn tone for the party, when the pregnant Zeta-Jones sang on stage with a big belly, when the ruffian Eminem was there talking and singing and shining, when the bizarre images appeared on the stage again, Hollywood was still the same Hollywood.

Glamour and drunken fans will always be an indispensable part of this circle.

"The winner of Best Animated Short Film was ...... Peppa Pig. ”

In the sound of music, Chris Renard walked onto the Oscar podium, excitedly accepted the little golden man, and specially thanked Ronan and Shahai Entertainment.

But the people below didn't pay much attention, it was just a small award on the very edge of the Oscars.

"The Oscars are getting more and more degenerate, and such an infantil film can win awards. Navas was upset, but it was strange to think of the pitch for the animated short: "What is Ronan Anderson thinking, spending so much effort on an inconsequential award for Best Animated Short Film?"

The biggest goal of this Oscar was achieved, and Ronan completely put his mind at ease and became a pure bystander.

Adrien Brody won Best Actor in an upset, and Nicole Kidman unexpectedly won the Best Actress crown.

The Oscars also once again proved that character has nothing to do with artistic achievement, and awarded the best director to Roman Polanski, who did not dare to come to Los Angeles at all.

Harvey Weinstein and Miramax are once again the big Oscar winners, in addition to Nicole Kidman's Best Actress, they also took away the Best Picture statuette with "Chicago".

After the awards ceremony, there was also an "Oscar Night" dinner, and Ronan received an invitation from the organizer "Vanity Fair" very early and also came to the banquet site for a turn.

The most impressive thing about the dinner scene is that both men and women are feasting.

For the award ceremony, many people have been on a diet and even drank only a little bit for several days, and today they don't eat or drink, and now that the award ceremony is over, they can't bear it anymore.

Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair", took the initiative to find Ronan.

"We are honored to have you here. "Tina Brown was very gracious.

Ronan shook her hand and said, "Vanity Fair has always been a partner of Relativity Entertainment, and of course we have to support you. ”

Tina Brown laughs and says, "Your company's advertising needs to consider Vanity Fair more. ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "Of course." Vanity Fair is the most important business partner of the theory of relativity. ”

Tina Brown attaches great importance to working with Relativity Entertainment, which even surpassed Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures in fourth place in advertising spending on Vanity Fair last year.

"Relativity Entertainment can call me anytime if you need anything. Tina Brown knows the importance of the owner: "Also, congratulations to your company on winning an Oscar. ”

Ronan smiled, "Thank you." ”

As the boss with the support of an entertainment group company behind him, Ronan is becoming more and more handy in managing relationships.

Because what he represents is not only the personal value of the producer, but also the interests of an entire group of companies.

Tina Brown chatted with Ronan for a while before leaving for another place.

Ronan sees Nicole Kidman, surrounded by a bunch of people, and is definitely one of the focal points of this banquet.

Thinking of Tom Cruise's request for help, Ronan prepares to go over, but meets Navas from Lionsgate halfway through.

Navas looked at Ronan with a little complicated eyes, but thinking of the boss's instructions, he still smiled and said, "Congratulations, Ronan, you got another Oscar trophy." ”

Ronan said modestly, "It's just luck." ”

Hearing the luck, Navas felt angry for a while, and Lionsgate's luck was too bad!

"Your eyes are as good as ever. Navas continued: "The animated short film won the Oscar, and "Hero" didn't win the best foreign language film, but it was a big hit at the box office, and now the North American box office is almost $50 million, right?"

Ronan said honestly: "I estimate that after this weekend, it will be 50 million dollars." ”

The two chatted for a few words, Zhang Guoshi came over, due to the language barrier, even if there was Yu Jiaolong as a translator, he was still a little depressed, and he was ready to say hello to Ronan and leave.

When Navas saw that typical oriental face, his heart moved, and he gestured with his eyes, and said to Ronan, "Won't you introduce me?"

Ronan glanced at Zhang Guoshi, then at Navas, and directly introduced: "Zhang, this is Navas, the executive president of Lionsgate. Navas, this is the famous director from the East, Mr. Yi. ”

After "Hero", Zhang Guoshi has little commercial value left for Relativity Entertainment, and it doesn't matter if he introduces it to other companies.

Even if he doesn't introduce it, Hollywood companies also have channels to contact the oriental director.

It's better to push the boat down the river.

"Hello, Director Zhang. Navas had a smile on his face.

Zhang Guoshi heard that the other party was the president-level figure of Lionsgate, and he responded very politely.

Jade Jiaolong acts as a translator in the middle.

Ronan said goodbye and left at the right time, he could guess what Navas wanted to say to Zhang Guoshi, and there was Jade Jiaolong as the translator, and let Connie ask afterwards, and he also knew what he said.

Seeing Ronan leaving, Navas immediately ended his greetings: "Director Zhang, your "Hero" is very successful, and it has set off a martial arts boom in North America again, do you have any plans to continue shooting this type of film?"

Zhang Guoshi is not only a director, but also gradually increasing his businessman attributes, although Ronan is true to his word, he also knows that he can't put his eggs in the same basket.

"There are plans for that. He translated through Yu Jiaolong: "I'm planning to make another martial arts film. ”
