After the awards.

With a wave of his hand, Bertolucci asked the producer to hurry up and arrange the hotel, and he was going to hold a big cocktail party to announce that this year's Oscar award was contracted by their "The Last Emperor" crew!

The reception was held on the east side of the Sacred Auditorium Awards Theatre, where there is a large five-star hotel.

There have been many Oscar celebration banquets before, so as soon as I heard that they were the crew of this year's Oscar "Best Picture", I immediately asked the staff to arrange a huge banquet hall that can accommodate thousands of people at the same time.

Because the hotel knows that the number of guests who will come to the reception will be very large!

In fact, it is exactly what the hotel thinks.

"The Last Emperor" was nominated for ten awards and won nine awards in a row. I dare not say that there is no Oscar in the history of this award, but it is also a very small number. In addition to "Comet Beauty" and "Gone with the Wind", which are old films more than ten years ago, there are only a handful of films that have been nominated for ten awards or more in the past ten years.

There haven't even been ten nominations for films in recent years, and almost all of them have won awards.

This also led to the fact that when Bertolucci held a cocktail party at the Los Angeles Hotel, the number of guests who came or attended the Oscars directly exceeded 1,000.

There were actors, directors, producers, and many well-known behind-the-scenes staff in Hollywood, and even the general managers of several major film companies came to participate.

It's really that "The Last Emperor" has won too many awards!

Ten awards, nine awards, this award, is not in recent years, Bertolucci can be said with this film, immediately became a hot new star director in Hollywood, and even several major film companies have thrown olive branches.

Manan Leslie, the general manager of Paramount Pictures, enthusiastically stretched out his hand and smiled: "Congratulations to Director Bertolucci, this Oscar, your film has become the biggest dark horse!" ”

Hearing the words of General Manager Paramount, Bertolucci said with a smile on his face: "Haha, this is thanks to the judges of the academy, otherwise my film would not have won so many awards, do you say Mr. Leslie?" ”

"Of course, I've seen this film, and it's very well shot, and it's a beautiful shot of the ancient oriental architecture." Manan Leslie looked at Bertolucci's expression while talking about the movie he had seen.

Seeing that the other party was praised by himself, Manan Leslie changed his tone and said, "Bertolucci, I heard that you have no plans to make a film recently?" ”

"Yes, because I've been busy with this film, I don't have any shooting plans yet."

"Then I wonder if you're interested in working with us Paramount?"

Hearing this, Bertolucci's face was overjoyed, and he immediately said, "Of course I'm interested, but I don't know how your company wants to cooperate with me?" ”

Manan Leslie was about to speak, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a few people walking not far away, he frowned, and said to Bertolucci: "This is not in a hurry, if Director Bertolucci is interested, you can come to Paramount tomorrow to find me." ”

"No problem!"

As soon as he agreed, someone behind him said, "Mr. Bertolucci, congratulations on winning the Best Director and Best Film awards!" ”

Looking back, it was the general manager of Twentieth Century Fox, and the smile on Bertolucci's face that had not fallen from beginning to end was raised again, and he smiled happily: "Mr. Gerrard, thank you!" ”

……

……

Early the next morning.

Li Yange was drinking coffee with Yo-Yo Ma, Kitaro, Ryuichi Sakamoto and others who rushed to hear the news.

"Tomotomo, Mr. Kitaro, how do you know?" Li Yange looked at the two curiously, the award just ended yesterday, and today the two of them rushed to the hotel after hearing the news, the speed is beyond imagination.

Kitaro said, "I was preparing for a concert in Los Angeles recently, and I thought I'd come over to congratulate you when I saw a TV news that you and Ryuichi had won the Oscar for Best Composition. ”

"I'm pretty much the same, but I didn't expect Mr. Kitaro to have the same idea as me."

Yo-Yo Ma smiled, he had nothing to do recently, he happened to be on vacation in Los Angeles with his wife, and after seeing the news about the Oscars on TV, he also wanted to come over to congratulate Li Yange.

"By the way, Mr. Li, do you know about PolyGram's recent concert in the United States?"

"Concert?"

Hearing Kitaro mention the concert, Li Yange asked confusedly, "What concert?" ”

"PolyGram recently acquired a company specializing in classical music, and is preparing to enter the American classical music market, so I am preparing to hold PolyGram classical music concerts in Los Angeles, New York and other big cities in the United States in June this year.

Speaking of this, Kitaro looked at Yo-Yo Ma and said, "I heard that in order to enter the American classical music market this time, Polygram has invited many world-renowned musicians. ”

"Well, I've heard that, too."

Yo-Yo Ma nodded, as the most well-known cellist in the United States at the moment, he had already heard of Polygram's generosity.

"Classical music doesn't have much to do with me."

Ryuichi Sakamoto shrugged his shoulders, most of his current work is mainly electronic, and classical music has not been touched for a long time.

"I don't think it has much to do with me." Li Yange has the same idea as Ryuichi Sakamoto, he has almost never been exposed to Western classical music, and when he was in school last year, he listened to teachers talk about classical music composition.

"No, although the theme of this concert is classical music, it is not all classical music."

Kitaro said: "PolyGram has great ambitions, because the music style in Asia is quite different from that in Europe and the United States, so PolyGene chose classical music in order to enter the European and American markets. ”

"Let's talk about it." Li Yange shook his head, he is still preparing for PolyGram's second album, how can he have the energy to care about this.

Seeing this, Kitaro didn't say anything, just found a topic at random, seeing that Li Yange didn't dare to be interested, he also remembered what he heard when he chatted with Ryuichi Sakamoto in the morning, and asked with a smile: "By the way, Mr. Li, I heard Ryuichi say before, you also created a song "Silk Road", I don't know if you have a chance to hear it today?" ”

"Of course you can, but that's going to be a hassle for you." Li Yange looked at Yo-Yo Ma.

"Haha, no problem, I just live near here, if you are interested, come with me."

Today, it is rare to meet a few friends I know, although it is on vacation, Yo-Yo Ma still warmly invites Li Yange and them to come over.

……

When Li Yange was still here and was about to go to Yo-Yo Ma's home in Los Angeles,

Far away on the other side of the ocean, it was already evening.

After the "News Network" broadcast the recent domestic news in the evening, the host Li Ruiying picked up the script in his hand and said to the camera:
