Chapter 128: Two out of three!Chen An’s youth seemed to have caused considerable harm to the host, who complained about it while performing. However, this was just a warm-up before the show started and it did not last long. Chen An was not his main target of provocation. Instead, it was Bruce Willis, the internationally renowned superstar, who created an unimaginable miracle this year. Unfortunately, there was no nomination for him, and the camera was just focused on Bruce Willis. "The Sixth Sense" was nominated for six awards, including Best Picture, Director, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress, but his name was not on the list. However, he always wins awards one step ahead of him. As the object of ridicule, he could only smile bitterly in front of the camera and could not go up and give the host a big nose. After all, he has no skin color bonus, and those who have skin color bonus don't end up well. But this is just the appetizer for the Oscars and it won’t last long. People who come here are all waiting for the awards to be announced. The previous awards had nothing to do with Chen An. "The Matrix", which shocked the world as soon as it was released, won four major awards in a row. From visual effects to sound, audio, and editing, everything is done in one go.
The first award to be given out was for Best Supporting Actress, which was won by the young Statue of Liberty, Angelina Jolie. Seeing this, Chen An smiled and said to Mr. Alan Arkin: "Old sir, it's your turn next. This is our crew's greatest hope. You have to work hard." But Mr. Ajin didn't care much. "I don't have any hope. I'm already this old. Whether I can win the award is up to the judges." "Don't worry, Chen. Even if we don't have the award, we still have the Best Original Screenplay. This is our main public relations channel." Jerry comforted him. Although this is his first time participating in an Oscar, he is quite confident about the movie and believes it will not be a complete failure. Naomi also held Chen An's hand to comfort him. Although Chen An knew that the original movie had won an award, he still couldn't win this Oscar. After all, it was seven years in advance and the opponents were different. When the award presenters came on stage, one holding the trophy and the other holding an envelope, they both walked to the front of the stage. After the female guest and the male guest exchanged some words, they opened the envelope, took out the list of winners and said, "Congratulations to Alan Arkin for winning the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Little Miss Sunshine! Congratulations!" The film successfully won the first of three nominations! Chen An and the crew members immediately applauded. Old Man Alan Arkin also stood up and waved in front of the camera. He walked up to the podium slowly and gave his acceptance speech. This was the second time he won this award. In addition to thanking the judges, he also thanked Chen An who asked him to perform. "Oh young man, don't worry anymore. At least I have won an award for you." Before leaving the stage, old man Alan Arkin made the people below laugh with a joking tone. Chen An, the person being told the story, could only smile and applaud. Then came the big win for American Beauty, which not only won the Golden Globes but also the Oscars. He won the Best Actor and Best Director awards in a row. And then came Chen An’s award, Best Original Screenplay. "Chen is here. The award belongs to you. Your chances are still great." Jerry encouraged when the award presenter came on stage. This is also their main public relations target and the opportunity is the greatest. Chen An nodded. He had already won the award, but he didn’t know if Chen An’s filming could continue.
The award presenter went on stage and read out the five nominated films one by one. He then opened the envelope, took it out and covered his mouth, saying in disbelief: "Congratulations. The winner of this year's Oscar for Best Original Screenplay is Little Miss Sunshine! Congratulations, young Chen, this award belongs to you!" Warner's PR was not ineffective, and Chen An successfully won the award. He became the youngest winner of this award, and like other awards, there was a roar of applause at the scene. Chen An stood up, waved at the camera, smiled, straightened his suit and walked to the stage. After receiving the trophy from the guest, he didn't expect that the female guest would touch Chen An on both sides of his face right away, which made Chen An a little uncomfortable. After a moment of confusion, he stood in front of the microphone and adjusted it, raising it a little higher. "Thank you to the Oscar judges and the lady who presented the award to me. Thank you for your enthusiasm, which made me even happier. But the person I want to thank most is my producer Jerry." "Thank you for your vision. You invited me to Hollywood in Cannes. Although it took two years, the result is still good. Thank you for your continued support. I like this trophy very much. Thank you." The acceptance speech was very short. After all, I was not the Best Director or Producer, so I didn't get the Best Picture award. But I really want to thank Jerry. Since Cannes, he has been inviting me to Hollywood and helping me. Although we help each other, I can never forget the help he has given me. After saying that, Chen An took the trophy and left. Returning to his seat, Naomi gave him a hug. Chen An politely responded by hugging him so tightly that he was deformed. Jerry said happily: "Oh Chen, you are a little too sentimental. I am a little moved." "If you win an award, you can thank me and let me be touched." "That's better. I will definitely satisfy you." Having said that, both men knew that the next Best Picture award was out of the question. As expected, the final award, the Best Picture was won by the powerful "American Beauty", which swept the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars to become the biggest winner. This year's Oscars has officially come to an end. Although it is not as good as "American Beauty", "Little Miss Sunshine" can also be considered a great success. It didn't have any big-name actors or directors, and it didn't have any huge investments, but it not only had a huge box office, it also won two Oscars, and there was constant laughter at the post-awards party. Actors kept coming up to him seeking cooperation, and Chen An agreed with a smile, saying that if there was a chance, he would do it. Even the young Statue of Liberty Angelina Jolie came over and said, "Chen, nice to meet you, my name is Angelina Jolie." She stretched out her right hand, holding a glass of amber champagne in her left hand, and stretched out her hand in an evening dress to shake hands with Chen An. Chen An held the other person's hand and said with a smile: "I know you, tonight's Best Supporting Actress, Miss Angelina Jolie." "Just call me Julie, no need to be so polite." Julie said with a smile, holding a glass of wine. "Then Miss Julie, congratulations on winning the award tonight." Chen An clinked his glass with the other party and took a sip to celebrate. Julie was more generous and drank the champagne in one gulp. "Thank you for your congratulations. Chen, I congratulate you too. If there is a chance, I hope to work with you." "Me too." Chen An replied with a smile. After the chat, Julie gestured with the empty glass, then smiled and turned away. Chen An looked at the other person's graceful back and said nothing more. This year would be the beginning of the other person's soaring career. The Tomb Raider, which was filmed this year, will completely open her path to becoming the highest-paid actress.
Chen An felt that cooperation was unnecessary for the time being. Twenty million US dollars was enough for him to produce a movie, and this was just the other party's salary for one movie. (End of this chapter)
