News media all over the world almost exploded. How many years had it been since someone dared to be so arrogant on the stage of the Oscars? He pointed at the heads of all the Oscar judges and publicly criticized the terrible judging system of the Oscars. He then said that he wanted to hold an award ceremony of his own.
Most importantly, this was not an ordinary person. He was not someone like Zude, who was all talk and no action. He was a real billionaire, one of the richest people in the world!
This was not just talk and no action. The moment he said it, it meant that he really wanted to hold such an award!
The most important thing was that he had said it on a global live broadcast with countless video evidence. No one could deny it.
This was big news that had never been heard before. How could the news media not be excited?
Therefore, news about Boss Jia exploded all over the world. For a while, audiences all over the world were discussing this matter.
Many reporters immediately went to the streets to interview the audience. Many of the audience members said that they had gone to watch a certain movie because of the Oscars, but it was very boring and extremely difficult to understand. They left after watching half of the movie, wasting their movie ticket money.
Of course, there were also people who condemned Boss Jia very bitterly. They said that he did not understand movies at all. Those award-winning movies deserved the awards. Then, they said a lot of things, such as montage, camera language, obscurity, and even the male dog riding on the female dog outside the window. It was a metaphor for the oppression of women by men. Anyway, it was very ridiculous.
But overall, most of the audience agreed with Boss Jia. They felt that the Oscars award-winning movies were bullshit that they did not understand. They were the entertainment of the so-called elites and had no value at all. They were not even as good as the female dog fighting outside the window.
The most important thing was that a movie like Titanic, which anyone who saw it would think was very outstanding, actually only received a humiliating award. This was really unreasonable.
This was also the biggest mistake that the Oscars had made this time. In order to take revenge on Boss Jia, he had gone too far with the Titanic incident.
Some movies had different tastes, so if you did not give them an award, it would not cause the majority of the audience to be disgusted. They would only think that the award-winning movies were more deserving of the award.
But for a movie like Titanic, it was too much. This was an excellent movie that the whole world had proven through word of mouth and box office sales.
In fact, the local news media in the United States were fine. They did not favor Boss Jia. Instead, they tried to speak from a neutral point of view.
But the foreign media was different. They had been unhappy with Hollywood for a long time. They were unhappy with Hollywood's film culture export system.
But because Hollywood movies were too strong, the world's film industry could not refuse, so there was nothing they could do.
But now, the Oscars, as the face of Hollywood, actually self-destructed and exposed such a huge scandal. They didn't even want to give the Best Picture Award to Titanic. Anyone with half a brain could see how bullsh * t the Oscar committee was.
These foreign media naturally would not let go of this opportunity. They began to criticize the Oscars in all kinds of ways. The Oscars' reputation in the world plummeted in an instant.
Of course, all these things were seen by the Supreme Board of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Technology. So the next night, an emergency meeting was held in the conference room of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of the United States. All the members of the Board gathered together urgently to discuss this matter.
[PS: Previously, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of the United States was a bit inaccurate. The correct organization is the chairman of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of the United States. Here, the author apologizes for his carelessness.]
"I told you long ago not to make things difficult for Titanic, and not to fight with Jia Yapeng, that Hua Xia. Titanic itself is a part of Hollywood. You slapped Titanic's face, which is equivalent to slapping Hollywood's own face. You still did it. This is all your responsibility!" A middle-aged man sighed in the meeting.
The person who spoke was Steven Spielberg, one of the most famous directors in the world, and also a member of the chairman of the jury. However, unlike those standing committee members who had retired behind the scenes and devoted almost all their lives to the Oscars, Spielberg still had his own movies to shoot and his own film company to run, so he was not very concerned about the standing committee. He only participated in some important meetings. At other times, he basically did not care about the standing committee.
He was also the only one among the 23 members of the Standing Committee who voted against the decision to sanction the Great Qian Dynasty.
Spielberg saw very clearly that they were film actors and directors, and Jia Yapeng was a big boss with a net worth of tens of billions. Actors and directors relied on the boss to make a living. They could not fight with Jia Yapeng.
Unfortunately, these standing committee members who were immersed in the glory of the Oscars would not allow people who dared to despise the Oscars to exist. If Jia Yapeng was from the United States, it would be fine, but he was only from Hua Xia.
The great Oscars had already given him a lot of face by inviting such a backward and monkey-like Chinese to attend the ceremony. However, he actually dared to leave the Oscars ceremony early and caused many media outlets to mock the Oscars after the ceremony. He made the Oscars judges lose face. If they did not take revenge under such circumstances, they might as well eat sh * t!
Therefore, Spielberg's reasonable suggestion at that time was directly rejected by the other judges.
"Enough, we didn't expect that this Hua Xia could be such a bastard. He is simply a madman!" The head of the chairman of the jury, who was also the president of the Film Editing Arts Association, frowned and said.
The other members couldn't help but nod at the same time, even Spielberg. No one could have thought that Jia Yapeng, a madman, would directly go crazy in front of the live TV camera. The people present had basically lived for more than 60 years, but they had never seen such a madman.
Clearly, when they were tormenting other people before, those people would obediently give in or remain silent and never interact with them. However, they had never seen someone who would directly flip the table.
