Chapter 84 Oscar Reception

Leonardo had a lonely expression on his face. This Oscar was full of pain for him.

Before the awards ceremony, "The Aviator" was favored by many people, and online reports were also full of expectations for the film.

I didn't expect the final result to be like this. All the important awards have nothing to do with this movie.

"This group of judges really went a bit too far."

Looking at the wonderful expression on Leonardo's face, Gu Wei complained.

...

According to tradition, after the Oscars ceremony, there is usually a luxurious dinner, known as the "Oscars after-party."

The cocktail party is hosted by different film companies, producers and other sponsors. It is a continuation of the award ceremony and also a stage for many filmmakers to communicate and cooperate.

The same is true tonight, and Gu Wei is among them.

At the cocktail party, Gu Wei and Will Smith could be said to be the protagonists of the night.

The combination of the Oscars for Best Director and Best Actor made most people look at them, and people kept coming over to toast them.

"Hello, Director Gu Wei, I'm Kate Winslet."

Kate Winslet, born in Berkshire, England in 1975, is a British film and television actress. She is 30 years old now, and the years have not left too many traces on her face.

"Hi Kate, I loved your movie Titanic."

Gu picked up the wine glass and praised.

Leonardo and Kate Winslet, the male and female protagonists of "Titanic", were at the cocktail party tonight, and the picture instantly appeared in Gu Wei's mind.

"Thank you for your compliment and congratulations on winning the Best Director award. The Pursuit of Happyness is a great film."

Kate Winslet heard Gu Wei's praise with a smile on her face and then said.

The two talked for a while and then left their contact information with each other.

"I hope I'll have the opportunity to work with you, Director Gu Wei, in the future."

Kate Winslet left a word, clinked glasses with Gu Wei, and turned to leave.

"Director, congratulations on winning the Best Director award."

"Congratulations, Director."

Jack Gilharen and Amy Rosen walked over together to congratulate Gu Wei. The two had starred in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" directed by Gu Wei and were quite familiar with each other.

"Thank you for your congratulations."

The two chatted with Gu Wei for a while and then left tactfully.

...

"Gu, congratulations on winning the Best Director award."

Leonardo came to Gu Wei with a depressed expression on his face.

"Leon, The Aviator was great, but there are some regrets this time."

Gu Wei raised his glass, clinked it with his, and took a sip.

"No matter how good it is, it can't win the judges' favor." Leonardo said self-deprecatingly.

"There will be opportunities in the future."

"Of course, I won't give up."

"Gu, Matt and I will be filming The Departed in April, so you can come visit us if you have time."

“April? Leon, thank you for your invitation, but I have to go back to my country soon.

You know, I'm still studying and need to go back to attend my graduation defense."

Gu Wei rejected Leonardo's invitation.

"Well, Gu, it's hard to believe that you won the Best Director award while you're still a student. Congratulations again."

Tonight's cocktail party is a rare opportunity for many people, providing an opportunity for people from all walks of life in the Hollywood film industry to collaborate and communicate.

Gu Wei got to know many film people, including directors, producers, film and television company owners and star actors.

Many production companies hope to cooperate with Gu Wei, and Gu Wei has left contact with them. As for the subsequent cooperation, we will talk about it when there is a chance.

"Gu, how do you feel?" Will Smith saw the people surrounding Gu Wei disperse, and came to him and said.

"It feels pretty good, except that I received a few too many notes." Gu Wei joked.

"Haha, you should enjoy this and don't work too hard."

Will Smith is in a good mood and looks very energetic.

It can be seen that he was a little too excited about the Best Actor award.

From the regrettable defeat in "Ali" to now holding the little golden man, from a box office poison to the success of "The Pursuit of Happyness", Will Smith has a lot of feelings.

The cocktail party lasted for a long time, during which Zhang Ziyi came over to toast and his words were full of compliments.

Currently, Zhang Ziyi is well known to Hollywood people for the movie "House of Flying Daggers".

Watching Gu Wei chatting and laughing with other directors and producers, Zhang Ziyi was full of envy. Now in Hollywood, she can hardly say a few words to the big directors and big stars.

The interaction between an actress and a director will ultimately come back to the role.

"I hope to be in Director Gu's play if I have the chance in the future."

This is what Zhang Ziyi said to Gu Wei when he left.

"We'll talk about it when we have a chance. This guy is also a man of great scheming and tactics."

After the cocktail party, Gu Wei returned to the hotel and checked his mobile phone, which showed dozens of missed calls and even more text messages of congratulations.

I picked out a few familiar ones to reply to and ignored the others.

……

The next day, Gu Wei came to the company, turned on his computer and browsed domestic and international news. The report on this year's Oscar awards had already come out.

"Million Dollar Baby deserves the Best Picture award."

"Will Smith won the Best Actor award, a new best actor is born."

"Chinese director Gu Wei was nominated for an Oscar for the first time and won the Oscar for Best Director."

"The Aviator lost all the important awards, and Leonardo dated several young models and partied all night long."

...

"No matter what happens to this guy, it doesn't affect his love for the Angels."

Gu Wei was moved when he saw the media reports on Leonardo.

The domestic reports were even crazier, with the first Chinese to win the Oscar for Best Director being praised to the skies.

"Chinese director Gu Wei won the Best Director award, and the whole world was watching this moment."

"Director Gu Wei created a miracle, and his first nominated work won the grand prize."

"The Pursuit of Happyness" won a great deal for the Oscars for Best Director and Best Actor."

Even the Southern Entertainment News, which is always fond of stirring up trouble, is reporting the incident seriously at this time.

"Director Gu Wei won the Oscars with his work "The Pursuit of Happyness", and the two awards are well deserved."

.........

Gu Wei read the news report for a while and then closed the webpage. It was quite interesting at first, but after reading it for a while, it was just so-so. When it came to success, it was all just praise.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Wei began to write the script. The copyrights of "Despicable Me" and "Up" had already been obtained.

It's time to write the script. Gu Wei wants to finalize this before returning home.

...

"Boss, the formalities for the new company have been completed. According to your wishes, we have re-signed contracts with the employees, and most of them have chosen to stay."

"Well done, Ryder. We'll move the company there in the next two days, and we'll work in the new company from now on."

"Also, we will continue to recruit a group of technicians to be responsible for the company's post-production editing and special effects production. The number of people will be around 50."

"Okay, boss. There are many unemployed technicians in Hollywood right now. I will select the best ones to join the company."
