A few days later, LA, the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.

William Wang stood in front of the photo background wall at the end of the red carpet with a smile on his face and waved his hand politely.

The stars are shining.

William Wang also understood the practical meaning of this word for the first time.

In front of him, as many as five rows of photographers with more than 100 people pressed the shutter to take pictures together, and the flashes were connected together, like stars in the sky.

It's just that these flashes are much brighter than the stars.

This is not the first time William Wang has attended the award ceremony, but compared to the so-called award ceremonies held by the previous TV stations on the peninsula......

I can only say, treat the gap sensibly!

He is here today as the producer and actor of the film "District 9".

The film, which was released last summer and then came out as a dark horse, helped illiam Entertainment earn more than $80 million in one fell swoop, and successfully received five nominations at this Oscars.

Best Film, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Visual Effects, and a nomination for Best Supporting Actor that Illiam Entertainment worked so hard to earn.

This number of nominations is tied for sixth place among all films at this year's Oscars.

It's not easy for a small-budget film with a total cost of only $35 million.

In particular, William Wang, a young Eastern face who was unknown before and had never appeared in Hollywood at all, was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, which was a very unexpected thing for the media.

Of course, it will certainly not be surprising that William Wang is an "insider" who has an idea of who he is.

Just think about the charity dinner held by William Wang in S City the summer before last! How many people went there at that time!

And at the Oscars, William Wang, who walked the red carpet, was still treated far more than him as an emerging producer and supporting actor.

Many people came to greet him, shake hands, and take photos.

There are globally known big-name directors like James Cameron and Quentin Tarantino, as well as superstar actors like George Clooney and Helen Mirren.

William Wang replied with a smile one by one.

In fact, most of these people don't know why he came to greet William Wang and take a photo, or they just know that "something good may happen" when they come to meet William Wang, but the vast majority of them don't know what it is.

It's just that someone told them that it might be beneficial to get to know William Wang.

Of course, there are some people who probably know what William Wang is, and the vast majority of people, including Neil, the director of "District 9", still don't know what William Wang has to attract those big names who make him very respectful take the initiative to come over and shake hands with William Wang and take a group photo.

To be reasonable, these people who are supplied by several major producers have no reason to have a good relationship with a person like William Wang......

Yes, in Neil's eyes, William Wang is indeed a very unobtrusive producer.

Because just two months ago, in January, he was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director for "District 9", when William Wang was said to be busy with some personal matters and did not come......

Thanks to today's Oscar, he is finally here.

The plane just arrived this morning.

Neil is confident that he wouldn't have come if he hadn't been nominated for Best Supporting Actor......

After dealing with almost all the people who came to greet him, William Wang finally relaxed here.

"We're basically okay tonight, aren't we?"

William Wang smiled and asked another representative of the producer who came with him to participate, but was quiet throughout the whole process, Li Zhina.

“…… How do you say that? Did you get any inside information that we didn't have a prize? Li Zhi was stunned.

"Of course! What a simple thing. William Wang smiled, "We are more than an order of magnitude worse than Avatar at the box office, and we are not as good as the bomb disposal unit when it comes to the main theme." It's unlikely that we'll win the prize. ”

"It's not as good as that messy bomb disposal unit with only a few million losses at the box office?" Li Zhina obviously didn't believe it.

"The more you lose money like this, the more you date them with a prize, otherwise who will shoot it in the future!" William Wang looked left and right, almost everyone was busy socializing, "Aren't you going out to say hello?" ”

"I ...... Actually, it's a bit timid. Li Zhina smiled a little embarrassedly, "In my ...... Before I died, when did I ever fantasize about being able to take a picture with James Cameron! And George Clooney, I love his ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to control my excitement...... It's better to take a look from afar, and talk about it next time we meet! ”

"Okay." William Wang smiled and shook his head.

"Let's talk about the bomb disposal unit, why give them awards?"

"The Iraq War, the non-aggressive Americans in a desperate situation...... William Wang shook his head, "As long as a film with this theme is nominated, it is impossible not to win an award." ”

“…… It seems to make sense for you to say that. Li Zhina smiled, "Then we ...... Is there any prize that is still possible today? ”

"I guess there's only a little bit of a possibility of adapting the script." William Wang thought for a moment. "The visual effects are definitely not as good as the Avatar, and the editing is definitely not as good as the bomb disposal unit, the best movie...... Don't even think about it. ”

"What about Best Supporting Actor?" Li Zhina asked William Wang with a smile in a slightly ridiculous tone.

“…… Let the movie Bomb Disposal Unit get so many nominations, which shows that this year's jury has three views that meet their standards, which is above all else, and the role I played can be nominated for them, it really depends on my play. William Wang smiled and shook his head.

"What do you mean by your play......

"If someone else plays it, even if you operate it, it's useless, believe me." William Wang said with a smile.

"I think there's a good chance you'll win." Li Zhina seemed to have a different opinion, "Some people in film reviews have said before that your performance in the movie is even a performance that can make people doubt whether the values you believe in are wrong. Some people also say that your supporting role steals the scene more than the male protagonist in this play......"

"That's not a good word, is it?"

"Half and half!" Li Zhina shook his head, "So you were nominated this time, although the company had some operations, it really didn't use much effort, just reminded me that there was such a candidate as you who could be nominated, and then you were nominated, and we didn't even recommend you much." ”

"Nomination only...... is still a supporting actor. ”

"But I really think you're doing a good job." Li Zhina shook his head, "Your dedication to what you believe in in the first half of the period, and the disappointment and repentance after being betrayed by your colleagues at the last moment, are all vividly expressed!" This kind of acting is absolutely first-line in Hollywood. You must know that if you change an actor to this role, you will definitely be played as a hateful face-painted character. ”

"Anyway, anyway, this time, the promotion of illiam entertainment is already worth the cost." William Wang really doesn't want to say anything about his possible awards, that's too unreliable.

"By the way, I heard that when you set off from the peninsula, there were a lot of people at the airport?" Li Zhi saw that Wang William had this attitude, so he had no choice but not to say it.

"Well, there are about two hundred people, right?" William Wang nodded, "It's not that the company issued a press notice to invite the media to shoot, and then it was naturally known by fans!" ”

"Just kidding! Nominated for Best Supporting Actor! Has anyone on the peninsula ever obtained? Li Zhina said with a smile, "Even if you don't win the award, it's enough for our company to go back and install X." ”

"Yes! That's enough, as for the award or something......" William Wang smiled and shook his head, "It's good to be happy." ”

"Hmm......" Li Zhina smiled and nodded.

on the side.

"What are you talking about?" Neil, who couldn't understand the Peninsula dialect spoken by the two at all, was a little bored.

"Oh, we're predicting the best movie tonight, who do you think it will be?" William Wang responded with a smile.

"Let's ......" Neil himself was not confident.

"It's okay, it's about getting involved." William Wang smiled.

Although Li Zhina, who was next to him, didn't understand it very well, he just looked at the atmosphere, and probably guessed what they were talking about, and laughed along.

……

Soon after, the award ceremony officially began.

William Wang also smoothly switched to the theater mode.

But he didn't watch his play for long.

Almost immediately, there was something about him.

The first award to be presented to the famous actress Penelope Cruz was Best Supporting Actor.

"Why doesn't this make sense?"

William Wang whispered to the director Neil who was sitting next to him.

"What's wrong?"

"The first supporting actor to be awarded!"

"Oh, what's wrong with that? Anyway, it's not the leading actor......"

"Well, you have a point." William Wang laughed.

He chatted with Director Neil there, and on the stage, the award presenter was smiling and introducing several nominated actors, and William Wang was also mentioned, and then, William Wang's smiling face appeared on the camera.

William Wang stopped chatting with Neil, clapped and nodded in the direction of the camera.

Aristocratic temperament, pretending to be a forced demeanor.

William Wang used all the expressions of "I don't know why, but it looks amazing" at this moment.

Coupled with the eyes that he deliberately activated that were supposed to belong to the succubus.

William Wang in the camera looks like a perfect aristocratic feeling.

He knows very well that Europeans and Americans eat this very much, so that's how he behaves. Speaking of aristocratic fan, William Wang can pull all the people on the earth together now. Is there anyone other than him who has been a nobleman for hundreds of years? Or the patriarch of a noble family...... Ahem.

The close-up of the nominee is a few seconds, and when it is finished, it will be the next one, and William Wang's performance time is over.

Soon, after the nominee's name is read, it is time to present the award.

William Wang felt that his performance should be over.

But at this time, the accident happened.

"The winner is...... William Wong, District 9. Penelope Cruz opened the envelope and was obviously a little surprised to see the name on it, but still said the name of the winner with a smile on his face.

Also unexpected was William Wang, whose name was read.

Won the prize yourself?

This...... What kind of routine? The kind of role he played that is different from the mainstream values of Hollywood can actually win the Best Supporting Actor award?

What's more, is my theoretical age too young compared to a place like Hollywood?

What are you going to say when you go on stage?

But it is inappropriate not to go on stage, and many people present applauded William Wang.

Especially after hearing his name being read out on the side, Li Zhina and Neil, who were the most excited, directly hugged William Wang, who was there like a chicken.

Then, pushing him to his feet.

A little ignorant, William Wang came to the stage and turned out a trophy called "Little Golden Man" from the hands of the award presenters, but he was still a little sluggish.

There were some good-natured laughter at the scene, and the applause became a little more enthusiastic.

"Hmm...... I really didn't think I would win an award. William Wang stood in front of the microphone a little embarrassed, and delivered his acceptance speech according to the convention, authentic British English, because this sounds the most aristocratic, "Thank you very much to the organizing committee for affirming me, and thank you to the crew of the crew, especially ......"

Since it is a common practice, William Wang also knows that it must be grateful.

He'd seen it even on the Peninsula, at ceremonies that might not even seem like awards ceremonies now.

Thank you for a lap, and the testimonial time is over.

waved the little golden figure in his hand to the audience, and then bowed again, and William Wang walked off the stage.

Then he remembered that he didn't seem to have said anything useful except thanks......

It's a shame.

Anyway, I should say something, this character is so different from the main values of Hollywood, and it is really the great courage of the organizing committee to give himself an award!

Even if you say that you got such affirmation for the first time in a movie, it seems to be humble but actually cocks your tail!

This......

“OPPA！ Congratulations! ”

Just when William Wang began to regret that he finally had such an opportunity, it was too amateurish not to pretend to be X or something, Kim Taeyeon's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Kind of like a belated blessing.

However, William Wang knew that this was the pot for the delay of the live broadcast......
