Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 114 How much money did this bastard make! (Subscribe!)
Xu Yi naturally knew that the host was trying to do something for the effect of the show.

American hosts all like this.

What’s more, the host is black.

To be honest, these so-called awards have never been his pursuit.

What's more, it's just a small Best Foreign Language Film award.

If Zhang Weiping had not caused trouble before, he would not have cared at all even if the General Administration had directly given the Oscar nomination to "House of Flying Daggers".

But now that he's here, he can't just take a small, meaningless prize and call it a day, right?

"Yes, I did want to invite Miss Gwyneth to play a role in my next movie."

Xu Yi spoke into the microphone in front of him.

Then there was another cry of surprise at the scene.

There's nothing you can do about it, that's how foreigners are.

Especially in this kind of occasion.

Although everyone knows that all this is just for the show effect.

But you still have to be very cooperative.

Just like those variety shows in South Korea, even the smallest things are exaggerated!
"Hey, Xu, although I really don't want to discourage you, I still want to remind you that it's not that easy to invite Miss Gwyneth to film a movie!"

The host said again.

This is because Xu Yi has won the Palme d'Or and is considered an internationally renowned director.

He is also a super handsome guy.

Otherwise, just the Best Foreign Language Film award would not be enough for him to occupy such a long time on the Oscar stage.

You have to know that with the current influence of the Oscars, the annual awards ceremony will be broadcast live in at least more than 100 countries and regions!

"Of course I know that, but my next film is the superhero movie 'Iron Man', which will cost at least 1.5 million US dollars. I'm planning to invite Miss Gwyneth to play the role of Iron Man's assistant Pepper Potts. I believe she will definitely be interested!"

Xu Yi knew that Oscar would not give him too much time, so he did not hide anything and spoke directly.

As for Gwyneth Paltrow…

She is a serious Oscar winner!
At the age of 27, she won the title of Oscar for Best Actress!

Although she has always been called the "worst Oscar winner".

But the best actress is the best actress.

She is definitely not available in ordinary movies.

In addition, it seems that Harvey helped her get the Best Actress award.

So if nothing unexpected happens, she must be having an affair with that fat guy Harvey.

But this kind of thing is normal in Hollywood.

Harvey has always been very trustworthy when it comes to these real big-name female stars.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have lived without any accidents for so many years.

I only meet those little stars or newcomers who have just entered Hollywood.

He would choose to be a freeloader...

"Wow!"

This time, not only was there a burst of exclamations from the audience.

The host and Gwyneth Paltrow on the stage also exclaimed.

"Xu, are you telling the truth?"

the host asked immediately.

A movie with an investment of 1.5 million US dollars is considered a big production even in Hollywood!
What’s more, it’s a superhero movie!

Never mind how superhero movies have performed at the box office in recent years.

With the popularity of Marvel and superheroes, just make it happen.

There will definitely be no lack of attention!

So even though he knew that Xu Yi was advertising his own movie.

But he still didn't mind cooperating.

"Of course!" Xu Yi said, and then looked at Gwyneth Paltrow, "I wonder if Miss Gwyneth is interested in this role?"

"Xu, I'll be waiting for your invitation!"

Gwyneth Paltrow immediately cast a coquettish glance at Xu Yi and spoke very cooperatively.

A superhero movie with an investment of 1.5 million US dollars is indeed very attractive to her!
Then Xu Yi gave a few brief speeches to express his gratitude for the award and left the stage.

But his influence remains.

Apparently, there are quite a few people who are interested in his film.

So much so that many celebrities began to whisper to each other.

And frequently looked in the direction of his seat.

At the same time, this news was immediately passed back to China by domestic reporters on the scene.

Then it soon appeared on the homepages of major portals.

However, this time there was no way to prepare a press release in advance, so the content of the report was also very simple.

But even so, countless netizens were still shocked!

"Holy crap, this guy Xu Yi wants to make a movie in Hollywood? And he wants to invest 1.5 million dollars?"

"1.5 million Midao, that's over 10 billion Chinese yuan!"

"Zhang Weiping just said this guy couldn't make a real commercial blockbuster, but he was immediately slapped in the face!"

"By the way, what is this Iron Man? What are superhero movies?"

"Have you seen the movie Spider-Man? It's a superhero movie, but Iron Man isn't as well-known as Spider-Man!"

And Xu Yi’s fans were naturally excited again!

"Brother Xu Yi is awesome!"

"Brother Xu Yi is so awesome!"

"1.5 million rice knives, equivalent to 12 billion Chinese yuan, isn't that much better than that 'House of Flying Daggers'?"

"They spent over 3000 million dollars on 'House of Flying Daggers' and they're bragging about it like it's something big, but in the end, compared to our brother Xu Yi, it's just a small Karami!"

"And that Zhang Weiping actually said our brother Xu Yi can only make low-budget movies! If movies with a budget of 1.5 million US dollars are all low-budget, then what is the point of "House of Flying Daggers", which only cost 3000 million US dollars?"

"Where's that Zhang Weiping? He keeps coming out to mock our brother Xu Yi!"

"It would be strange if he dared to come out now!"

"Hahahahahaha, I just like the way Brother Xu Yi slaps people in the face!"

"Our brother Xu Yi is good at dealing with all kinds of dissatisfaction!" Not only that, many Americans are also watching the live broadcast of the Oscars.

Then I heard that Xu Yi was going to make an "Iron Man" movie.

These Americans were all shocked!
And people started discussing it on various social media platforms!

"WTF? A Chinese guy wants to make a superhero movie?"

"Do Chinese people know what a superhero is?"

"Iron Man is just a second-tier hero, not very popular at all!"

"It's definitely another bad movie!"

"The last superhero movie made by a Chinese director was already a huge loss, and now there's another one?"

Obviously, these Americans don’t believe that a Chinese can make a good superhero movie.

I don't believe that a Chinese person can understand American culture.

What's more, there is the example of Li An.

But at least this "Iron Man" has attracted attention.

This has already achieved Xu Yi's goal.

……

After the Best Foreign Language Film award comes the Best Supporting Actress award.

Then there are Best Editing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Effects.

After a performance, the Best Feature Film, Best Animated Feature Film, and Best Visual Effects awards were presented.

Zhang Ziyi also served as the presenter for the Best Visual Effects award.

She appeared in a gorgeous attire and once again drew warm applause from the audience.

I have to say that at this age, Zhang Ziyi is still very good-looking.

Then nearly 10 awards of various sizes were presented, and finally it was the turn of one of the most important awards, the Best Director!
In fact, Xu Yi's "Love" is also eligible to participate in the selection of Best Director and even Best Picture.

But he didn't do that.

Because he knew that even if he signed up, he would at most be nominated.

It is definitely impossible to win an award.

It would be the same even if he was willing to spend money to let Harvey do public relations.

Maybe Harvey will embezzle the money!

So he gave up on his own initiative.

In his opinion, if he doesn't win the award.

Then even if you get nominated, it will be of no use.

However, "House of Flying Daggers" has registered for all the awards it can be nominated for.

Otherwise it wouldn't have been nominated for Best Cinematography.

But it only received this one nomination...

Then the Best Director award was won by the director of "Million Dollar Baby".

Then came the Best Actor award, which was won by the lead actor in "Soul Singer".

The Best Actress award was won by the actress of "Million Dollar Baby".

The Best Picture award was once again won by "Million Dollar Baby".

At this point, "Million Dollar Baby" has become the biggest winner of this year's Oscars!
This year's Oscar awards ceremony has officially ended!
But then there are press interviews and a big Oscars dinner.

So when Xu Yi just left his seat, he was immediately surrounded by a large group of reporters.

Most of them are domestic journalists.

But there are also many foreign journalists.

"Director Xu, are you really going to invest 1.5 million dollars to make a movie in Hollywood?"

A domestic reporter immediately asked.

"Of course, when have I ever made such a joke?"

Xu Yi smiled.

Domestic reporters also nodded in agreement.

These reporters all knew that Director Xu in front of them had a somewhat flamboyant personality.

But so far, there is nothing he has said in public that he has failed to fulfill.

What's more, it was on the stage of the Oscars.

If he really breaks his promise, even if he is not laughed at by the whole world, it will definitely become a famous meme that he will never get over.

Just like that "China-US co-production".

Of course, this meme hasn't been created by Teacher Liu yet...

"Director Xu, did you pay for these 1.5 million Mi Dao yourself?"

another reporter asked.

These reporters also know that Director Xu always likes to invest his own money when filming.

It’s just 1.5 million Mi Dao, but it’s not a small amount!

"I'm funding it myself at the moment, but if someone else wants to invest, we can discuss it."

Xu Yi smiled again.

But in fact, he knew very well that no one would invest in his movie.

At least not in China.

Because the risks are simply too great.

He had never proven before that he had the ability to shoot commercial blockbusters.

The previous few superhero movies were basically flops.

Especially the last superhero movie directed by a Chinese director, which failed both at the box office and in terms of reputation.

It almost destroyed a top superhero!
But the most important thing is that even if domestic entertainment companies want to invest, they simply don’t have that much money!

So he was just joking...

After hearing him say this, all the domestic reporters present were shocked again!
This is a 1.5 million meter sword!
Equivalent to 12 billion Chinese yuan!
Turns out he could afford it all by himself!

How much money has this bastard made in the past few years!

It's just that no matter how jealous they are in their hearts, they certainly dare not show it...
