Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 170 Showdown
Cao Yang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the first award presented by the Oscars tonight would be won by "Despicable Milk".

Mark Ruffalo plays Dan White, Milk's political enemy in the movie. He does not know Milk's true face and cannot accept his own failure. He joins hands with the conservatives at the time to get rid of Milk.

He has a lot of scenes, and even after the male lead has left the screen, his role is not over yet.

In Cao Yang's opinion, Mark Ruffalo's acting skills are okay and he looks honest and loyal, so he is very suitable for playing a conservative and will not distract people from the show.

He has a lot of conflicts with Milk, which requires emotional outbursts. Only multiple emotional outbursts and loss of control can highlight the supporting actor and make people feel that he has acting skills.

Otherwise, in a movie, the supporting roles don’t have many roles to begin with. Without these roles, even if your acting skills are great, it would be hard for people to remember you.

It makes sense for Mark Ruffalo to win the Best Supporting Actor award. After losing his biggest competitor, Tim Robbins, it makes sense for any of the candidates to win this award.

Obviously, Mark Ruffalo's agency is better at operations, and it can also be said that they acted early.

According to Bellman, Mark Ruffalo's agency started working on the film as early as May last year, after it won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and it also gave up the Golden Globe Award to focus on the Oscars.

This should be the importance of taking the initiative.

In Hollywood, for an actor like Mark Ruffalo who hasn't become famous yet, even spending a few million on public relations for a Best Supporting Actor award is well worth it.

His agency obviously understands this and is very courageous.

Mark Ruffalo was very excited. He stood up and hugged his family members around him. Many guests attending the Oscars would bring their families with them.

He then walked out, turned around and hugged Johnny Depp who was sitting behind him.

"Congratulations."

Depp was very envious. He didn't know if he could win the Best Actor award. Mark Ruffalo, a not-so-famous actor, won the Best Supporting Actor award on his first Oscar nomination. He was so damn lucky.

Be grateful to Director Cao Yang. Without him, you are nothing.

Why didn’t I meet Director Cao Yang earlier?
What a lucky guy.

Mark Ruffalo took another step back, came to Cao Yang's side, leaned down and hugged Cao Yang, and kept saying: "Thank you, thank you..."

Cao Yang patted Mark Ruffalo on the shoulder. He could see that the guy was very excited, so he quickly reminded him, "Congratulations, Mark. Go and get your little golden man back on stage. Now you are the most dazzling star."

Mark Ruffalo said thank you again and walked quickly to the stage.

"Congratulations, Mark."

"Thank you."

Mark Ruffalo kissed Catherine Zeta-Jones and took the golden statue.

The Oscars are not like the three major European awards, which are divided into gold and silver in order to separate the highest award from other awards.

The Oscars are all little golden men.

"Oh my god, I can't believe this, I'm not dreaming."

Mark Ruffalo kissed the golden statue again.

"It's so true, thank you. Thank you to the Academy and the members of the Academy, it's a great honor for me, and I want to thank the actors who were nominated with me, you're all great."

Mark Ruffalo took a long breath and then continued, "I am most grateful to the screenwriter Mr. Cao Yang. We encountered great difficulties at the time. You all know the reasons. The project was almost shelved indefinitely.

It was our screenwriter Mr. Cao Yang who stepped up and rewrote the script. Sir, you are truly amazing.

Regarding the director of this film, Mr. Cao Yang…” At this point, he laughed.

The audience also laughed.

"Well, whether you are the screenwriter or the director, you are Mr. Cao Yang. You are really amazing. You are also the person I respect the most. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you!
At the same time, I would like to thank the entire crew, you are the best, thank you.

Thank you to my family for supporting my work.”

Mark Ruffalo raised the golden statue and said, "Thank you again."

"What a lucky guy, he's going to be famous," Behrman whispered.

Cao Yang smiled and nodded. For actors working in Hollywood, the Oscar award is really a huge bonus, especially for young actors who are not yet famous.

To give a similar example, Xia Yu won the Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award, and Qin Hailu won the Golden Horse Film Festival Best Actress Award. They both started as unknown little actors and suddenly became big stars.

Although Mark Ruffalo won the Best Supporting Actor award, it also made him a second-tier actor in Hollywood.

……

"I wanted to wait for the Sixth Princess' evening broadcast, but I couldn't help it. I sneaked up to get some news and then watched TV in the evening. Did I miss any important news?"

"You really missed it. Cao Yang got off to a good start and thought he could compete with The Lord of the Rings 3, but he was defeated without a single piece of armor left."

"The above person is exaggerating. So far, Cao Yang's film has only missed one nomination for Best Supporting Actress and one for Best Costume Design. The others have not yet been nominated."

"Oh my god, this is impossible. Isn't Cao Yang good at training actresses? How could he miss the Best Supporting Actress award?"

"You also said that it was a supporting actress. When have you ever seen a supporting actress in Cao Yang's movie win an award?"

"No, brothers, I just want to ask, what do you mean by a good start? Which boss can tell me?"

"The first Oscar this year was for Best Supporting Actor, and it was won by a little-known actor named Mark Ruffalo, who, by the way, won it for his role in Mean Milk."

"The two biggest favorites this year are 'The Lord of the Rings: Revenge' with 3 nominations and 'Damn Milk' with 3 nominations. So far, 'The Lord of the Rings: Revenge' has won five awards, while 'Damn Milk' has only won one."

"It feels a bit bad. The Lord of the Rings 3 has not missed any of the major awards it has been nominated for so far."

"Straight showdown, Best Original Score, both movies were nominated... The result is revealed, The Lord of the Rings 3 won again. Damn, The Lord of the Rings 3 is killing it."

"It's really crazy. No matter which movie it competes with, Lord of the Rings 3 has never lost tonight."

"Oscar is like this. Last time, it was able to compromise with a big ship. It's not surprising that it compromised with "Lord of the Rings 3" this time."

"Another direct showdown, this time for the best editing. Guess who will win. I'll go first. I'm still The Lord of the Rings 3."

"You are right, the Oscars have compromised with the box office again. The Lord of the Rings: Revenge has won again, and it also won the Best Editing Award."

"This...Oscar...seems...just like that?"

"Idiot above, Hollywood is popular all over the world, the artistry and authority of the Oscars are unquestionable, and The Lord of the Rings 3 is also very artistic, okay?"

"Holy crap, what's going on? Gu Changwei won the Best Cinematography award!"

"Who is Gu Changwei?"
