Although Boss Jia did not answer the reporters' questions, Boss Jia was sure that Titanic would win an award this time.
Although Boss Jia and Oscar had some conflicts before, and there were some unpleasantness, it didn't affect Titanic. This was recognized by all the audiences as the best movie in the world. No matter how bold Oscar was, he wouldn't do this kind of shady thing!
But it should be impossible to win 11 Oscars like in my previous life. But it doesn't matter, as long as the Best Director and Best Film awards are not affected! Boss Jia muttered in his heart.
In fact, he did not expect much from the Oscars. Whether he won this award or not would not affect the plot of Titanic at all, nor would it affect the economic benefits.
Besides, there was no Oscars for a boss like Jia Yapeng. However, Boss Jia and Cameron were very close. This was the only Best Director Oscar that Cameron would win in his life. Boss Jia did not want to ruin Cameron's chance.
Moreover, the whole crew had worked very hard. They deserved an Oscars for Best Film. Boss Jia even prepared 20 million dollars. After the award ceremony, he would give all 20 million dollars to the crew as a reward.
As for the other awards, it didn't matter. It didn't matter if they didn't give it out. Boss Jia didn't care.
More than half an hour later, when the whole crew entered the venue and sat down, the 69th Oscars finally began. At the same time, countless cameras were aimed at the venue, broadcasting the Oscars live to the audience all over the world.
Unlike the previous life, when there were only tens of millions of viewers, this was the peak of the Oscars. Especially this year, when Titanic was selected for the Oscars, the number of viewers was explosive.
On this day, a total of 1.2 billion viewers around the world watched the 69th Oscars live broadcast. It became the second most watched live broadcast in the world, breaking history.
In another world, the number of viewers in history was actually one billion. However, because of the live broadcast of the shipwreck in this world, Titanic had a greater influence than in the previous life. Therefore, the number of viewers watching the live broadcast soared to 1.2 billion.
A total of 1.2 billion people were watching the live broadcast because of the Titanic. Even if the Oscar committee didn't like Boss Jia, they couldn't possibly ignore the audience's concerns!
That was what Boss Jia thought, but he had forgotten that the Academy Awards Committee wanted to show the nobility of art. Ordinary people would not be able to understand art. Movies that the audience liked and sold well at the box office were tacky and unartistic.
Only those who couldn't understand it had the highest artistic achievement, so the results of the Oscars were often the opposite of the audience's expectations.
Anyway, the audience was despicable. No matter how they chose, the number of people watching the live broadcast would only increase.
As the 89th Academy Awards officially began, Boss Jia's expression became more and more unpleasant.
The first award was for Best Supporting Actor. However, Boss Jia did not have any expectations for this award, because the person who won this award in history was not the Titanic, but Cuba Gordin Jr., who played Jerry Maguire in Mr. Sweetheart.
Moreover, it was abnormal that this award was given to the Titanic. After all, the biggest flaw of the Titanic was the actors.
The acting skills of the male and female leads were not outstanding. They were supported by their looks and the plot. As for the supporting roles, there was not a single memorable character.
Therefore, Boss Jia would find it ironic and strange if the Best Supporting Actor Award was given to the Titanic.
The Best Supporting Actress Award was naturally not a big deal.
Next was the Best Makeup Award. This award was also not given to the Titanic, but to the movie "The Fat Professor." Boss Jia was also very convinced by this award, because the makeup artist in this movie had turned a slim professor into a giant fatty who weighed more than 150 kilograms. Such makeup skills and skills were indeed incomparable to those of the Titanic.
Next was the Best Costume Design Award, which historically belonged to the Titanic. However, as Boss Jia was worried, when the guest announced the winning movie, it was not the Titanic, but the movie "The English Patient."
This movie was the most popular movie in this year's Oscars after the Titanic. In the 69th Academy Awards, this award indeed belonged to "The English Patient."
However, was the costume design of the Titanic inferior to that of "The English Patient"?
Boss Jia did not think so, but so what? There was no universal standard for costume design. The costumes of the Titanic were strictly based on the costumes of 90 years ago, so there was almost no innovation.
It was not unacceptable that such a costume could not win an award.
After the Best Fashion Design Award, two different awards for documentaries were given out consecutively. Since it was a documentary award, it definitely had nothing to do with him being on the same channel.
After that, the Best Animated Short Film, Best Reality Short Film, and Best Foreign Language Film were given out. These awards had nothing to do with the Titanic in his previous life.
After that, it was the time when the Titanic began to win. In the following awards, except for the Best Actor and Actress, all the film-related awards were won by the Titanic.
Including the Best Sound Editing, the Best Sound Effects, the Best Art Director, the Best Film Editing, the Best Cinematography, the Best Original Music Score, the Best Original Song, and so on, they were all won by the Titanic in history.
However, in this era, as these awards were announced one by one, the guests at the scene and the audience watching the live broadcast were surprised to find that these awards had nothing to do with the Titanic. They were all divided up by two or three other movies.
Boss Jia's face became darker and darker. He had thought that the Academy Awards Committee would take revenge on him by taking away about half of the awards. However, he did not expect that the Academy Awards Committee would be so vicious this time. They took away all the small awards in one go.
Boss Jia turned around to look at the crew members and found that all of them had a dumbfounded expression on their faces. The original hope on their faces gradually turned into despair, especially those who produced the music, costumes, and editing for the crew. They thought that they would be able to win the first Oscar in their lives. Some of them even prepared a celebration party at home, but now, everything was gone.
"Ruthless, this is too ruthless!" Boss Jia could even hear several actors from other film crews whispering behind him.
