Chapter 543: Oscar Night
"Best Director went to Sidney Pollack!"
"The winner of the best film is, The Last Emperor!"
With the awarding of Best Director and Best Film, Nicole sat cross-legged on the sofa a little angrily, and Li Xu was right. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Okay, this little thing is also worth your anger?" Li Xu laughed and kissed her on the back of the neck.
There is no problem at all in getting the winning list, "The Last Emperor" won five awards, not all nine in another time and space, "Out of Africa" is a strong opponent.
Pollack's film has eleven nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, and Best Supporting Actor, and seven in another time and space.
However, it's a pity that this time "Out of Africa" only won three Best Director, Best Art Direction and Best Sound Effects, which is much worse than "The Last Emperor", the so-called Mars hitting the Earth, nothing more.
"The Last Emperor" can also be regarded as the light of "1942", Li Xu found someone to test the pressure of the film academy, using China as an excuse that it is currently an ally. In this case, "The Last Emperor" also tells the story of Chinese mainland, plus Paramount's public relations power, so "Out of Africa" is squeezed down.
As for "Chaos", it still only won one Best Costume Design, but compared with another time and space, there are fewer nominations for Best Director. Akira Kurosawa already has a nomination for Best Director because of "The Last Emperor", and it is definitely impossible to have another nomination for Best Director.
It's much better now, the best film goes to "The Last Emperor", and the best director goes to "Out of Africa", which is just right.
I have to say that luck is very important, the only East Asian who won the Best Director Award, if you want to talk about strength, how much stronger can you be than Akira Kurosawa? But people are good at kneeling and licking Bai Zuo, so they licked and licked, and licked two out.
"Okay, I'm going to congratulate them now, stay at home obediently, okay?" Seeing that the awards on the TV were about to end, Li Xu stood up and said to Nicole.
"The reason I can't go with me is that there are a lot of your women over there?" asked Nicole with a wink of gray and blue eyes, tilting her head.
"I know and ask. Li Xu pinched her nose.
"I think it's very unfortunate that Your Excellency Diana is marrying you. Nicole stabbed him.
"Don't forget, you are also one of them," Li Xu didn't care at all, "In addition, luck and misfortune can only be judged by the parties or bystanders who have done a lot of investigation, so you don't want to get involved." β
Nicole bit her lip, very upset, then rolled her eyes, and then got up and grabbed his clothes: "Add, what if...... Can you stay with me?"
Li Xu raised his eyebrows, immediately haha, and leaned into her ear: "If you ......"
Nicole's face turned red and she glared at him in disgust, "Don't you have anything else in your head?"
"Who makes you more and more beautiful now?" Li Xu raised his eyebrows again.
It sounds like a shirking of responsibility, but in fact, the corners of Nicole's mouth are obviously upturned a little.
"So, do you want to try it?" Li Xu asked again with a smile.
"I'm not fooled. Nicole snorted, "You're talking about consideration, not necessarily staying, I bet, even if I use my mouth...... There's also an 80% chance you'll get out of the way!"
"You're getting smarter, Nicole. Li Xu laughed, and immediately kissed the corner of her upturned mouth, "Then that's it, see you next time." β
Then, thinking of something, he asked, "By the way......"
"Nami will come over next month to be my assistant. Nicole quickly replied, "You don't have to worry too much. β
She bit the latter sentence very hard, Li Xu shrugged his shoulders and kissed her again: "This time I will really see you again." β
After he left, Nicole sighed, turned off the TV and leaned back on the sofa in a daze. But soon she snorted again, clenched her fists, and her eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.

Li Xu did not go to the celebration banquet of "1942" for the first time - this is especially "The Last Emperor" won five trophies, how could "1942" miss the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
However, the old man who came to power is calmer than in Berlin, and a few words of English he has learned are still decent, probably because he thinks that Oscar's coercion is not as good as Berlin, but unfortunately, it will be impossible for him to take it again in the future.
Li Xu went directly to the party of "Vanity Fair", and despite the competition between the Hearst Group and the Newhouse Group over the acquisition of CondΓ© Nast Group, the magazine resumed publication as scheduled, and the first "Oscar Night" party was held in '83.
Of course, all of this is inseparable from Li Xu, since he is the one who instigated his father and his godfather's family to join forces to control, of course, he has to take some responsibility. So the development of "Vanity Fair" is not much different from another time and space, except for the "Oscar Night" party, which he proposed, and he also proposed to poach Tina Brown as editor-in-chief.
He even prescribes the prescription of "celebrity effect + compelling reporting + news sensitivity = money" to Tina Brown, and his proposals have proven to be very useful.
"It's a shame, Sidney, this film could have won the best film. Standing in front of the bar, Li Xu brazenly said to Sidney Pollack.
Although he did it very secretively, it was not without rumors, and then the producers of "The Last Emperor" and "1942" hung his name, and anyone who cares can guess the answer if they think about it a little.
It's a pity that Pollack can only pretend to smile generously: "At least there is still the best director, but it is a pity that Meryl is the best actress." β
Li Xu's approach is indeed suspected of turning his elbow outward, but so what? Isn't China an ally of the United States now? Isn't "1942" qualified to win the best foreign language film?
As for "The Last Emperor", the director is Japanese and is still filming in the mainland, but isn't the producer an American film company? Besides, not all the nominated awards have to be won.
What's more, Li Xu is not only in the Hollywood system, but also not in the Hollywood system.
He is the majority shareholder of Disney, and also controls Paramount, and has invested in and even participated in the production of many movies in the past ten years, and his vision is always very good. Not to mention the "Star Wars" series, "Back to the Future", "The Ultimate", and "Police Academy" were all picked out by him, and many film investors and film companies are willing to cooperate with him.
However, the main focus of the family is not here, it is still born in a famous family, even if the mother is Asian, it is still the eldest son of the Li family, and last year he married the sister of the British princess as his wife, which is naturally above the Hollywood gang.
Not to mention that people are very generous to the movie, take Pollack's movie as an example, when the project was established, no one could find anyone to invest, and finally contacted him, and immediately issued a check, and then there was all kinds of support, so-
"I don't think so, film schools rarely give the same actor the same acting award in a short period of time, but Meryl can stick with it and one day win another one, surpassing Katharine Hepburn's record. Li Xu looked at Meryl Streep next to him.
