Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Ivan smiled and said, "I forgot that you are a techie. However, I completely agree with you."

With the contract in hand, Xiao Yunhai had a gloomy face, and left the Dupont Theater with the crew without even attending the banquet.

Looking at his back, Hanks who was being interviewed showed a triumphant smile.

As soon as they walked out of the theater, Xiao Yunhai and others were surrounded by countless reporters who had been staying outside.At the same time, many reporters rushed out from behind and surrounded them tightly.

"Mr. Xiao, do you think you can win the $200 billion bet?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "If I don't have confidence, how could I agree to bet with them?"

"But from our point of view, you seem to be reluctant to agree for the sake of face? Isn't it?"

Xiao Yunhai shook his head, and said: "Absolutely not. I have 2012% confidence in "3". Its excitement and [-]D technology will achieve an effect far beyond your imagination. Don't say It's one "Resident Evil", even if there are ten or twenty, I won't take them seriously."

"Mr. Xiao, you don't seem to have won any awards tonight? How do you feel about this?"

Xiao Yunhai's expression turned pale, and he said coldly: "Besides disappointment, what else should I feel? My "Infernal Affairs" sold billions of dollars during the economic crisis, and "Inception" was even more stable. It sits at No. [-] on the global box office list. Two films that have been recognized by fans all over the world have not won a single award. Friends from the press, do you think it is fair?"

"Mr. Xiao, are you questioning the fairness of the Oscar jury?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "That's right. When I came here, I heard a lot of gossip that certain companies were frequently contacting the Oscar judges. At first I didn't take it seriously, thinking that such a big movie, Flourishing Age, shouldn't There will be some problems that shouldn't arise, but now it seems that my thinking is a bit too simple."

Xiao Yunhai's words were actually challenging the Oscar Organizing Committee and criticizing them for operating behind the scenes.

Such news is simply too valuable for reporters.

Ye Yongren next to him gently tugged at Xiao Yunhai's clothes, and said softly: "Yunhai, you have to be careful with what you say. Offending the Oscar jury will be very detrimental to your future."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I don't care. Tonight, I'm almost suffocated to death. If I don't vent it, I'll feel uncomfortable. It's a big deal, I won't participate in the Oscars in the future, isn't it okay?"

A reporter asked: "Mr. Xiao, is there any basis for your statement?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "No. I'm just guessing based on the Oscar awards. Our Huaxia has been shortlisted for three films, "Xiaocui", "Infernal Affairs", and "Inception", and the combined global box office has exceeded 150 billion In the end, they lost a lot of dollars. Would you believe it if there was no problem? I think the Oscars are biased against our Chinese films.”

"Mr. Xiao, please be careful. We have held the Oscars for so many years, and there has never been a problem with black box operations."

A loud voice came from outside the crowd.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a gray-haired but hale and hearty old man standing at the entrance of the theater.

Kerry whispered in Xiao Yunhai's ear. "This is George Mikan, chairman of the Oscar jury. Don't look at his upright appearance, but he's actually full of gangsters and prostitutes."

When the reporters saw George Mikan, they consciously made way for him.

Mikan walked up to Xiao Yunhai and said, "Mr. Xiao, I can understand that you are not in the mood to win an Oscar, but every award in it was voted for by the judges seriously, you can't insult the Oscar group like this Committee."

"Insult?" Xiao Yunhai sneered and said, "I never thought of insulting Oscar, I just raised my own objection. My "Infernal Affairs" and "Inception" are really so bad that I can't even win a single award." Are you there? Mr. Mikan, don’t fool me with the tricks you use to fool movie fans. Do you dare to swear by the Bible that this year’s Oscars have no problems in private?”

George Mikan is the most famous Christian in the United States. If he is killed, he dare not swear with the Bible. Once he tells a lie, it is equivalent to betraying his own faith and will be cast aside by all Americans. The consequences are worse than breaking the law. be serious

"It is impossible for every awards ceremony to guarantee absolute fairness and justice, we..."

Chapter 988 Confidence

Before Mikan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Yunhai.

"Mr. Mikan, please don't say these high-sounding words. Let me ask you, do you dare to swear by the Bible that there are no secret deals in this year's Oscars?"

Mikan pursed his lips and said, "I can't guarantee it. After all, there are more than 200 Oscar judges, and it's impossible for me to know everything about everyone."

Xiao Yunhai sneered and said: "Even you, the chairman of the Oscar Organizing Committee, can't guarantee it. Is it okay if I say a few words? For a long time, the Oscar has always been advertised as the highest hall of world cinema, but the judges are all European and American filmmakers. , and there are some people who have close connections with major Hollywood film companies. Mr. Mikan, do you think this is fair to our Asian films?"

"Comparatively speaking, in this regard, China's Golden Goblet Awards International Film Festival is much better than the Oscars, and more than 60.00% of the judges from other countries are invited, which guarantees the fairness of the Golden Goblet Awards to the greatest extent. Whether it is Chinese films, European and American films, or films from other countries, there is a fair environment. Mr. Mikan, don’t you think Oscar should also enrich some Asian filmmakers?”

With a gloomy face, Mikan said, "Mr. Xiao, we don't mean to look down on Asian films at all. Otherwise, Japanese director Mr. Takahashigawa's "Big River" would not have won the Best Foreign Language Film Award."

Xiao Yunhai chuckled, and said, "Mr. Mike is deceiving himself, or is he really treating everyone as fools. If "Infernal Affairs" and "Inception" were not filmed by me, but by a European and American director, do you think he Will it fail? A movie with billions of dollars in box office has been abandoned like a shoe, I really can’t believe this is the Oscar in my mind.”

Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Mikan could no longer restrain the anger in his chest, and said, "Mr. Xiao, if you think the Oscars are unfair, can you not participate in the selection?"

Xiao Yunhai shook his head, and said with a sneer: "It's no wonder that Oscar's prestige is declining. With a chairman like you who can't even listen to different opinions, it's no wonder it gets better. Don't worry, starting today, all my movies They will no longer participate in the Oscar selection. The current Oscar has deteriorated and is not worthy of my film."

Xiao Yunhai's words immediately caused a commotion among the reporters.

"No way. Xiao was so angry that he didn't even participate in the Oscars."

"This is about to happen."

"I didn't win an award, so I complained a few times, that's all. I didn't expect him to choose not to participate in the competition directly. His temper is really not small."

"Without Xiao, Oscar will lose all glory."

"This year Xiao's "2012" goal is 150 billion US dollars. If it is really achieved, but next year's Oscar does not have him, it will be a devastating blow to Oscar's credibility."

The reporters frantically took pictures of Xiao Yunhai and Mikan while whispering.

Mikan was almost pissed off by Xiao Yunhai, his chest heaved uncontrollably, and he said, "That's your right."

After speaking, he left angrily.

A reporter asked: "Mr. Xiao, are you really no longer participating in the Oscars?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "What I say will never change. Well, I'm in a bad mood right now, so I'll leave first."

After leaving the crowd of reporters, Xiao Yunhai and others left the DuPont Theater by car.

At the banquet, when Hanks learned about Xiao Yunhai, he couldn't help laughing.

"Young people are young people, too arrogant to make such a stupid decision."

Weaver next to him took a sip of his red wine and said, "He may not know how powerful the Oscar Organizing Committee is. Hehe, maybe his movie won't even be able to enter the United States."

Hanks narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Xiao's annoyance tonight is probably related to us forcing him to bet. Hehe, he wants to use 200 billion US dollars to make us retreat. It's ridiculous. Weaver Er, how sure are you of defeating Xiao?"

Weaver said: "One hundred percent. Mr. Hanks, "Inception" is not worthy of carrying shoes compared to it. After I get a bet of 200 billion US dollars in December, I hope you can allocate it to me. With $20 billion, I want to make the best blockbuster movie in the world."

Hanks picked up the red wine glass, touched Weaver, and said, "No problem. Hehe, since Xiao dares not to take Oscar seriously, then I can't let him have such a good time, just treat it as an Oscar group. The committee took revenge."

Weaver smiled and said nothing.

In the car, Xiao Yunhai sat on the co-pilot's seat, closed his eyes, and seemed to be thinking about something.

In the back, Kerry babbled and talked non-stop.

"Xiao, you are talking. The $200 billion bet has offended the Oscar Organizing Committee. Do you know how much trouble you are in?"

Xiao Yunhai opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Kerry, and said with a smile: "Some things can be tolerated, but some things are suffocated in my heart, and I will suffer to death. It will rain, mother will marry, let it go go."
