Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 736

ps: I just realized that McConaughey’s name in the first two photos was written wrong. It was written as Connery. Sorry.

ps: Students who have questions at the end of this chapter can review it again.

Hearing the name, Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows.

Confidence in winning the Best Picture award has increased by 20%.

McConaughey, Bale, and Denzel had similar reactions to Zhou Mo.

The tension eased a lot.

Only Garfield kept staring at Emma on the podium.

"Honestly, it would feel pretty good if I could win Best Director."

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed eight gazes coming at him.

"Ahem... just a joke, just a joke."

Soon, the awards for Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress were presented one after another on stage.

Finally, it was time to present the Best Picture award.

Two award presenters who are considered to be well-known figures in the entertainment industry came on stage, chatted for a few words, and then slowly took out cards with the winners written on them.

"Wow, it's this movie. It really deserves the title."

The slightly deliberate sound once again heightened the anticipation at the event.

Zhou Mo subconsciously clenched his fists.

The operation in the past few years, the careful selection of scripts, and the continuous training.

Today, the outcome will be revealed.

"Best Picture winner, Fireman!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole scene seemed to stop for a second.

Immediately afterwards, applause broke out.

Zhou Mo walked slowly onto the podium amid applause.

Zhou Mo raised the trophy in his hand, feeling very satisfied.

Although in the past, Zhou Mo would sometimes joke in his heart that Zhang Yimou was almost crazy because of the Oscar.

But when he actually got the trophy, he was indeed very excited.

not easy.

It's really not easy.

To get to this point today, he has put in a lot of effort.

Make friends with this one, cooperate with that one.

Fortunately, his hard work paid off and he got it.

"Ah, I am so hypocritical." Zhou Mo sighed in his heart for a second.

Cough slightly.

Start talking about your acceptance speech.

After all, this was his second time on this stage, so Zhou Mo was well aware of the key points of the speech.

Correct, that's it.

"Thank you... I'm glad to be able to..."

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the organizer. After all, it is the award I received from them.

After a lot of thanks, Zhou Mo changed the subject and got to the point.

“The reason why I had the idea of ​​filming “Firefighters” is because I once learned about that sad history, and I often wondered in my heart why those heroes suffered such treatment…”

Even though the accuracy of the Oscars has been increasing in recent years, especially those factors that were originally niche, such as gender, orientation, animal protection, and environmental protection, have gradually increased.

But once the September 11th incident happened, its accuracy was still at the top of many major events of Amei.

After all, it hasn’t been ten years yet, and those who experienced this incident back then are still around.

And it has attracted worldwide attention.

Therefore, when talking about Jiuyaoyao, Zhou Mo is not at all inferior to the correctness of other topics.

"Society needs care and citizens need protection. Only by creating a better environment can firefighters be more willing to participate in rescue work and better protect people's property."

To be honest, Amei has actually made quite a few movies about firefighters.

But generally speaking, the content revolves around the dangers of fire, as well as the protagonist's personal emotions, progress, and self-exploration.

Very few people can talk about the impact that the 9:11 pm time has on the Amei firefighting industry.

The film "Firefighters" shot by Zhou Mo basically touched the hearts of many people and also touched upon some fundamental social issues. "A good society should give better protection to those who dedicate themselves to society and risk their lives to save citizens' property and national property!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into applause again.

Zhou Mo thanked the guests with a smile on his face.

Anyway, what he said tonight was just talk. It may cause a wave of discussion in society later, but more things like providing insurance and subsidies to these people will never happen.

But it's enough to spark a discussion.

He didn't ask for more.

Zhou Mo's mentality was relaxed from beginning to end when he said this.

Anyway, he doesn’t have to pay for it, so just say it.

He even felt that what he said was much more interesting than what the other people said.

After stepping down.

McConaughey, Bale, and Denzel all surrounded Zhou Mo, vying to touch the trophy in Zhou Mo's hand.

"Hurry up, let me feel whether it sinks or not."

"Let me touch it too. I haven't touched the Best Picture trophy yet."

Zhou Mo dodged the hands of the three men and held the trophy in his arms.

"Stop it, you guys. What do you mean you've never touched a trophy? He's a Hollywood movie star after all. If you want to touch a trophy, go home and touch your own. Why are you touching mine?"

The three of them looked at Zhou Mo's "stingy" look and made clicking sounds.

"That's it, and you still say you don't care whether you can win the award or not?"

"Director, please don't be so selfish. Let's all watch it together."

But no matter what the three of them said, Zhou Mo always looked like, "You all have it, don't even think about touching the trophy. I haven't touched enough, go touch your own trophies."

Garfield didn't dare to take action at first.

The three big guys were all vying to get started, and he couldn't even get close.

But after hearing what Zhou Mo said, he came closer with a silly smile.

"Director Zhou, can you let me see the trophy?"

Zhou Mo glanced at him.

"Want to touch it?"

Garfield nodded repeatedly.

"No way. Just help me deal with the others later. If you do well, maybe I'll let you touch me for a while longer."

Garfield was not discouraged and kept nodding.

After the award ceremony, there will naturally be a cocktail party.

Not long after the show started, as Zhou Mo had expected, a large group of actors began to move towards him.

"Director Zhou, nice to meet you, I'm..."

"Zhou, long time no see, do you still remember me? I am..."

"Zhou, I've always wanted to meet you, and today I finally have the chance..."

There are various ways of speaking, but the content is basically the same.

Boss, are you still missing a pendant on your thigh?

Can you take me with you in the future?

Zhou Mo was not surprised by these invitations and greetings, and always entertained them with a smile.

After nearly an hour, there were gradually fewer people around.

"Huh, finally it's quiet for a while."

He let out a long breath.

Somewhat tired.

I have to say that the cocktail parties in Amei are indeed much larger than those in Europe.

Whether it is movie stars or various practitioners in the circle, including directors, screenwriters, producers, and heads of film and television companies, the number is an order of magnitude higher.

The last time he won the Best Foreign Language Film, it wasn't that obvious.

But this time, when the Best Picture award was won, the gap was immediately apparent.

Just then, a voice sounded from behind Zhou Mo.

"Zhou, long time no see."
