Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 91 Grand Prize Winner
  The first award that is closely related to Tang De is the best hip-hop video of the year.

There are many competitors, including the famous rapper Puff Daddy's song "Pass the Courvoisier (Part II)", a collaboration with several other rappers.

However, the one who finally won this award did not exceed the expectations of some media people. It was Tang De's "Makeover" filmed by Raymond.

With its unique use of color, this MV defeated Nelly's MV, which was also shot by Tang De, and became the winner of the best hip-hop video of the year.

"Woohoo!" Raymond was so happy that he almost jumped up. He could imagine that after this award was announced, his songs would definitely experience a sales peak again.

Singers have this advantage. A classic piece can often last a lifetime.

When receiving the award, Raymond was on the stage with Tang De.

Raymond said a lot, including thanking his family, mother and agent, and also thanking Tang De.

As he said himself, he basically copied the letter Tang De once wrote for him, but only changed some details.

When he finished speaking, everyone applauded, and then it was Tang De's turn.

But Tang De didn't say much, he just picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "Actually, I want to thank Raymond and his manager Badman for this MV, because they gave me the opportunity. As for the rest... I’ll leave it to the awards later.”

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed one after another, and the applause was deafening.

Host Jimmy Fallon explained after Tang De came off the stage: "It's true, you know? Change of appearance is Tang's first MV! He just started shooting MVs as a photographer and director this year. He is an out-and-out The newcomer, Oh, My God!”

"Oh my God!"

"Really?" The celebrity guests in the audience all covered their mouths to express surprise, and the eyes they looked at Tang De also revealed a stronger sense of curiosity.

When Avril saw that Tang De was so popular, she raised her head happily, as if she was honored.

After that, a series of awards were announced, and the best R&B video of the year was won by Mary J. Blige's "No More Drama".

The best dance video of the year was won by P!nk's "Get the Party Started". However, when the female singer gave her acceptance speech on stage, her face was rosy and her words were a little awkward.

When asked by the host, she admitted that she was drunk, which made all the celebrities smile knowingly.

Not long after, awards such as Best Rock Video of the Year and Best Group Video were also announced after the performance.

As time went by, more heavyweight awards began to be awarded, starting with the Best Male Artist Video of the Year.

When Jimmy Fallon read Eminem's name, the whole audience went wild. This award is well-deserved. This year, his new song has become one of the best-selling singles of the year, sweeping the United States and even the world.

Seeing Eminem and Joseph take the stage to receive the award together, Dylan and Nostin in the media seats breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Although Donde won first, Eminem's award was obviously more powerful.

But when Jimmy Fallon named the next award, the two frowned again.

"Next, the winners of Best Female Artist Video of the Year will be announced... Its nominees are..."

The big screen shots were given to several female artists, including Avril Lavigne.

Jimmy didn't show any concern. After the audience was silent for a few seconds, he announced directly: "The winner of the Best Female Artist Video of the Year is... Avril Lavigne!"

"Wow!"

"Congratulations!" People around him congratulated one after another.

Avril and Tang De stood up together and came to the stage.

Avril mentioned Tang De when delivering her speech and looked at him affectionately.

This scene was naturally captured by reporters and planned to be used as report pictures.

However, Tang De's speech was still brief, and he left the stage after thanking the crew and Avril a little.

The MTV awards ceremony continued and soon went to the International Audience Choice Awards. Tang De also saw an acquaintance at this award.

Zheng Jun, whose "1/3 Ideal" won MTV's International Audience Choice Award.

After this, MTV entered into the awarding of professional awards.

The awards for Best Special Effects, Best Choreography, Best Editing, etc. allow the behind-the-scenes staff to show their faces on stage.

The one that attracted the most attention was naturally the Best Director of the Year award. When Jimmy Fallon read out the name of this award, Donde and Joseph received the attention of the audience.

Other competitors simply couldn't compete with the two, and they actually gave up the possibility of winning the prize.

After all, the MV of these two people is really amazing.

Dylan and Nostin also clenched their palms slightly, waiting for the winner to appear.

The host looked at the performance of everyone in the audience and smiled slightly: "The winner of the Best Director of the Year... is..."

He deliberately paused for a moment and let the camera stay on the two of them. Joseph was nervously touching his forehead, while Tang De was as calm as if nothing was wrong.

The contrast between the two is obvious.

"The winner of Best Director is...Sk8er Boi! Don!"

"FXXK! How is that possible!" Dylan screamed, his face livid in disbelief.

This completely goes against his understanding of MTV's selection. In past selections, MTV has tended to give the directing award to those who are more bold and avant-garde. Although he admitted that Tang De's MV was very good, this dreamlike MV was too fake, without flaws or flaw. How could such a big scene have no flaws?

If you look at it from a cinematic perspective, Tang De's MV is like an award-winning short film that can go to the Oscars. It's so perfect that it's unbelievable.

So in Dylan's eyes, it's far less rough and real than Joseph's.

At least he could comment on the advantages and disadvantages of the latter, but for the former... he seemed unable to find any faults with the work itself.

He even suspected that this work was produced by a certain film team. Otherwise, if it was shot by Tang De himself, it would really challenge his life experience in the past decades.

Nostin also had the same expression as him. He knew that Brady's expectations would not be met this time, and they could no longer promote it to customers as the best music video director.

On the contrary, people like Edinson can use this name to attract customers like crazy.

"Damn Brits! Such luck."

Now he and Dylan can only hope that Video of the Year goes to Joseph, and that way they can save some face.

In stark contrast to the unwillingness on their faces, Avril and Raymond were naturally the ones who clapped happily, especially Raymond. When the singer next to him looked at him, he took the initiative to talk to him: "Did you see it! My Good brother! Tang De! Awesome!"

Tang De stood on the podium. This time it was completely his own stage, and no one else accepted the award together.

So he picked up the microphone and delivered his acceptance speech: "As you know, I have come up three times."

"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed in unison.

"Yeah, that's right, I think many of you must be muttering, damn Tang, how come he always wins the award?" Tang De strolled on the stage like a stand-up comedian: "But unfortunately, I As I said, I hope some people won’t be too sad tonight!”

"Hahahaha!"

"If you really feel sad, you can come to me for a drink. As long as you can get me drunk, you can take this astronaut away." MTV's trophy is in the shape of an astronaut planting a flag on the moon.

"But if you hadn't drank from me, I'd have to say: Man, you really sucked!"

"boom!"

Outside the TV, Tone, who was drinking heavily at home, threw the wine bottle in his hand against the wall, making a crisp cracking sound.

His face was filled with unventable anger, and he wanted to rush into the TV and beat up Tang De. If he hadn't taken away his job, he wouldn't have been beaten up by black people twice in a row.

Nor would he spend tens of thousands of dollars in the hospital and almost go bankrupt!
  After months of no work and no money, his life suddenly hit rock bottom. Now his wife is becoming more and more impatient with him!
  "Tone! What are you doing!" He said to his wife. When she came downstairs, she was carrying a baseball bat in her hand.

"Oh! Sorry! Wife, I wasn't careful!" Tone stood up quickly, staggered to his knees and collected the broken glass pieces, his face full of tears.

At the same time, the awards ceremony on the TV came to an end.

After the new band's performance, Jimmy Fallon walked onto the stage holding the crucial card and said to everyone: "Tonight's time flies so fast, and we are about to come to the end of the ceremony. I I believe everyone must be curious about the next award for a long time."

"Yes, it's the best video of the year! And now, I'm going to announce its nominees!"

"Number one! Eminem's "Without Me"" The camera showed Eminem, and he raised his eyebrows with a cool expression.

"Second place! Super Boy's "Gone"" The camera continued to switch, and Super Boy and several handsome boys waved.

"Third place..." Jimmy Fallon announced the third to fifth nominees one after another, and everyone smiled and gestured to the camera.

"The last one, Avril Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi"!"

The camera showed Avril, and she directly pulled Don over, grinning and making a face together.

"So who won this award? Who is he? I'm really curious, I want to take a sneak peek!" Jimmy Fallon gave it up in the end, and after reading it, his eyes widened in exaggeration to everyone. View: "This is crazy!"

"The winner of Video of the Year is... Avril Lavigne and her "Sk8er Boi"!"

"Wow!" exclaimed.

"Wow!" Applause.

The two voices instantly drowned Avril and Tang De. The two looked at each other, smiled, held hands, and walked onto the stage together.

In the audience, as the competitor Joseph, he took off his glasses with some disappointment and wiped them with a tissue.

Nostin, who was sitting in the media seat, also closed his eyes and sighed, regretting that he did not sign with Tang De in time.

As for Dylan, he left the scene the moment the results were announced. He was going to the boxing gym to vent his dissatisfaction, and then he would write an article tomorrow to criticize MTV for unfair awards.

Since there is no way to go back in time and change his remarks, he will follow the dark path to the end. At least readers will think that he is a fighter.

After the awards ceremony, all the singers were looking for Tang De, and even Michael Jackson wanted to chat with the new best director.

Unfortunately, they found that Tang De had disappeared, and only his agent Carl was still there.

So Karl accepted everyone's inquiries and compliments for Tang De, and accepted countless business cards, phone calls, and various party invitations with a smile.

As for Tang De, after receiving the award, he rushed directly to the airport and boarded a flight to Chicago.

Because tomorrow in Chicago, the musical that won the Academy Award for Best Picture is about to start shooting!
