"The Best Special Visual Effects Award goes to the movie Titanic!" The guests exclaimed. The Best Special Visual Effects Award had finally been won.
However, this exclamation was not because the Titanic had won the prize, but because the Titanic had finally won the prize. These actors already knew that the relationship between Boss Jia and the Oscars was not good, so they deliberately avoided Boss Jia.
However, they did not expect that the Oscars committee would be so cruel that they would not even give out a small award.
However, the committee did not seem to have any intention of being cruel. In the end, they gave Titanic the Best Special Visual Effects Award and did not let Titanic lose out on the small awards.
Then the next question was, could the most important Best Director Award and Best Film Award be given to Titanic?
The guests were looking forward to it, but Boss Jia's expression was gloomy. Although Boss Jia had thought that he did not care before, when the situation really happened, Boss Jia found that he was more angry than he had imagined.
The director of Titanic's Visual Effects went on stage to receive the award. As the only crew member who had won an Oscar, the director of Visual Effects felt very complicated.
He had originally prepared a long speech to express his gratitude to the Oscars, but he didn't use any of it. He just expressed his gratitude to the crew, the director, Boss Jia, and the moviegoers around the world before he left the stage in a hurry.
"The nominees for the Best Director Award are Anthony Minghella's The English Patient; Joel Coen's Frozen Blood; Milos Forman's Sex Book Tycoon; Scott Hicks's The Shining Style; James Cameron's Titanic." After the usual announcement of the nominees, it was finally time to announce the Best Director Award.
According to the Oscars' tradition, when the nominees were announced, the last movie was usually the one with the highest chance of winning. Did the Oscars decide to be fair for once?
"I hereby announce that the winner of the Best Director Award is Anthony Minghella's The English Patient!"
With the announcement of the award winner by the guest presenter, there was an uproar at the venue. No one knew if it was because Anthony Minghella had won the award or because of James Cameron. The director who had a 99% chance of winning the Academy Award for Best Director in the eyes of all the media had actually lost the nomination at this moment.
Boss Jia looked at Cameron. Then, he saw that this middle-aged man had a look of great disappointment and silence on his face.
However, when he saw Jia Yapeng looking at him, he squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay, I have another movie!"
"No, I don't want to wait until the next movie!" Boss Jia gritted his teeth and said.
Especially when the Academy Award for Best Picture was announced, and it had nothing to do with the Titanic, Boss Jia was furious.
In his previous life, Hua Xia's movie had been discriminated against at the Oscars. Boss Jia did not expect his movie to be praised by the Oscars.
However, this movie had won countless awards in history and was proven to be worthy of the Oscars. It had even won more than 90% of the Oscars. However, it did not win a single award at the Oscars. Was it because his boss left the previous Oscars in advance?
Well, even if he did offend the Oscars, did they have to punish his crew?
Did they have to punish the elites who had sacrificed everything for Titanic?
As well as James Cameron, the old man who was simply immersed in the movie?
The people who had changed the world's film industry were the staff, not some lousy Oscars.
"I'm going to destroy these bastards!" Boss Jia's molars were chattering.
"Mr. Jia, calm down. You don't have to be angry with these people!" James Cameron calmed himself down and comforted Boss Jia. "At least we still have an award. It's not like we didn't win a single award!"
"No, it's not that we didn't win a single award. It's a double slap to my face!" Hearing Cameron's words, Boss Jia was even more furious when he thought of the Best Visual Effects Award.
The Best Visual Effects Award was not encouragement. It was a blatant humiliation.
Titanic did not win any other awards. It only won the Best Visual Effects Award. Wasn't this telling the world that Titanic was just a blockbuster movie that relied on visual effects to make money at the box office? There was no artistry at all. It was just a fast-food movie.
To be honest, it was better for Titanic to not win a single award than to give it this award.
"Forget it. We've already won the award. It's not like we can return it!" Cameron persuaded helplessly.
"That's not necessarily true. Who said that we can't return the award?" Boss Jia patted Cameron's shoulder and walked to the director who won the Best Visual Effects Award. He said calmly, "Sell me your golden man. I'll give you 5 million USD!"
“？？？” The director was stunned. Then, he saw Boss Jia's angry face. He smiled and said, "You don't have to pay. I'll give it to you as a gift. You can use it as you wish!"
"You have a bright future!" Boss Jia smiled and took the trophy from his hand.
At this time, the award ceremony was over. Many stars started to get up and prepare to attend the Oscar banquet.
Many cameramen started to pack up their equipment. Some TV stations that were broadcasting the event started to change the broadcast signal.
At this time, some guests with sharp eyes noticed Boss Jia standing up. Then, he took the trophy and walked to the podium.
"What does Boss Jia want to do?" The guests were puzzled. Then, they instinctively stood still and looked at Boss Jia.
The sharp-eyed cameramen quickly noticed the abnormalities of the guests. Then, they realized that there was something wrong with the scene, so they quickly aimed their cameras at Boss Jia.
"Hey, we're going to change the camera. Get ready. We're going to start packing up the equipment!" The director reminded the cameraman.
"Don't, don't change the camera!" The cameraman licked his lips and said loudly, "There's big news. Don't change the camera. It's going to happen soon!"
"Are you serious? The commercial is going to start soon! "
"Trust me. I have a feeling that if you change the camera, you'll miss the big news. The boss of Titanic is now walking on the stage with the trophy. This isn't how the Oscar process is written!" The cameraman said quickly. The director was stunned for a moment. Then, he reacted and said, "Okay, I'll report it to the management. You have 20 seconds!"
In less than 10 seconds, the director said, "The management said that if there's no big news, your bonus will be deducted!"
"Okay!" The cameraman said excitedly.
