Chapter 1867 1869 [Oscar]

  At the end of March, the Academy Awards ceremony was officially held.

   "Rain Man" was shortlisted for eight awards, including Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Set, Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Soundtrack, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Film and more.

   It can be said that all the heavyweight awards have been shortlisted, and the voice of winning the award is also very high.

   However, it is not without opponents, and even its opponents are not simple.

Like "Wall Street" starring Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen, "Good Morning Annan" starring Robin Williams, "The Untouchables" starring Kevin Costner, Robert De Niro, Stephen S. Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun" and Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor" are strong competitors.

  However, Xiang Nan still has confidence in "Rain Man", so he specially participated in the Academy Awards ceremony.

  In the red carpet ceremony, Xiang Nan walked with Sophie Marceau. Their collaboration "Ghostbusters 3" is going to be released in the summer, and now they are walking the red carpet together, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the movie in advance.

  Sophie Marceau deserves to be known as the rose of France. Wearing a red dress with a majestic atmosphere, it has attracted countless attentions. Ever since she stepped on the red carpet, the camera in the hands of the photographer has never stopped, clicking and flashing non-stop.

  You can see her charm!

  …

  After walking the red carpet, Xiang Nan was interviewed by the host.

   "Charles, can you predict how many trophies "Rain Man" will take away tonight?" the host asked with a smile.

   "Of course I hope the more the better." Xiang Nan laughed.

   "No, no, your answer is too perfunctory, I need an accurate number." The host was not fooled and continued to ask.

   "Oh, it's hard to say, the opponents are too strong." Xiang Nan laughed, "I'm really hard to predict."

   "Then if there is only one award, which award do you hope to get?" The host asked again with a smile.

   "Although it sounds selfish, if I can only win one award, I really hope to only get the best original screenplay award." Xiang Nan laughed.

   "Then bless you." The host laughed.

  …

   After the interview, Xiang Nan and Sophie Marceau entered the hall and sat in the front row.

  The producers, directors, stars, etc. present all came forward to say hello, making Xiang Nan overwhelmed for a while.

In comparison, although Sophie Marceau is expensive as a French rose, but because she has no box office appeal in the United States, even though she is unparalleled in beauty, she is like a transparent person, and there is no one sitting next to Xiang Nan ignore.

   No wonder. In Hollywood, winner takes all.

  As long as you have box office appeal and can bring income to capital, then you are the king. The capital supports you, the director supports you, and the artists worship you. You will feel that there are no bad people in this world.

   But once you lose your value, all this will disappear immediately, and you will even be stepped on 10,000 feet, and you will never stand up again.

   Just like the Victoria's Secret show, many models dream of being on its runway and walking for it. But when the Victoria's Secret Show was announced to be closed, all the models who had been on the show before all claimed that they had been harassed.

   This is the rule of this business, cruel, ruthless, and the strong prey on the weak!

  …

   After Xiang Nan exchanged pleasantries with everyone, the awards ceremony was officially held.

  Xiang Nan didn't pay much attention to the awards ceremony, because he was not interested in those award-winning movies.

   He's only slightly interested in Best Original Screenplay. Other than that, he doesn't care about anything else.

  So most of the time, he was whispering and flirting with Sophie Marceau beside him.

   Didn't notice, "Rain Man" has lost four awards for Best Editing, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Soundtrack.

   "You are wearing a beautiful dress today~" Xiang Nan said with a smile.

   "Thank you, do you like it~" Sophie laughed.

   "Of course." Xiang Nan nodded, his eyes were a little confused.

   "Then do you know what I'm wearing inside this dress?" Sophie asked with a smile.

  Xiang Nan shook his head, "What?"

   "Nothing." Sophie said provocatively.

  Xiang Nan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

   "After the awards ceremony, follow me to the hotel." Sophie invited.

  Xiang Nan shook his head when he heard it, "There is a party after the award ceremony, so you can't miss it. Let's do it tomorrow, I'll ask you out tomorrow afternoon~"

  In the evening, he still has to go home to accompany Cong Shan.

   Sophie had no choice but to nod when she heard it.

  …

   Just as he was talking, the awards ceremony had reached the best original screenplay stage.

   The award presenters are Amy Irving and Richard Dreyfuss, both of whom are Hollywood stars.

  Richard Dreyfuss starred in George Lucas' "American Graffiti" and Steven Spielberg's "Jaws". He was a smash hit star in the 1970s.

   And Amy Owen is even more amazing. When she was nine months old, she was already on stage with her mother. In the 1970s, he participated in "The Witch Carrie", "Happy Time", "Double Happiness" and so on.

   It is worth mentioning that Steven Spielberg is her husband. However, the two will divorce next year, and Spielberg paid a sky-high price of 100 million U.S. dollars for this, setting a record for divorce in Hollywood.

  The two first read out the shortlist. The shortlisted include "Moonlight", "Goodbye, Children", "Broadcast News", "Glory Days", "Rain Man" and so on.

  As the two recited, there was constant applause and cheers at the scene.

   Especially when it came to the movie "Rain Man", the cheers and applause were the most enthusiastic.

   Not only because Xiang Nan is the hottest producer in Hollywood today, but also because "Rain Man" is indeed a very good movie, and it deserves everyone's applause.

   Then, Amy Irwin announced the winner's name, "Charles, Rain Man!"

  Xiang Nan stood up immediately after hearing this.

   There was warm applause at the scene.

   "Congratulations, Charles~" People around him congratulated one after another, and Sophie Marceau even stood up directly and gave him a big hug.

"Thank you~" Xiang Nan said thanks, walked onto the stage, took the trophy from Richard Dreyfuss, and then delivered his acceptance speech, "Thank you all the judges for your favor, thank you all fans for your love, really I am very grateful! Especially thank you Shanshan, it is a pity that you did not accompany me to receive this award. But this award still has half of yours!"

   After Xiang Nan finished speaking, he bowed and walked off the stage amid applause.

   Cong Shan, who was watching the awards ceremony in front of the screen, was naturally very happy when she heard Xiang Nan say this.

  Shanshan in Xiangjiang saw the news that Xiang Nan had won the award the next day, and when she saw him thanking "shanshan" on stage, she couldn't help being taken aback, and then she couldn't help thinking about it.
