The director of "Independence Day" was actually the famous Roland Emmerich. Later on, he directed movies such as "Godzilla '98," "2012," "The Day After Tomorrow," "Shocking Crisis," and so on. He was recognized by the industry as the best disaster movie director, and there was no other.
However, before "Independence Day," although Roland Emmerich had directed two movies, the box office of those movies was basically a flop. Therefore, his salary for directing "Independence Day" was only 600,000 USD.
In fact, to be able to take over such a super movie that cost 75 million USD, even if the producer didn't give Roland Emmerich a single cent, he wouldn't have been able to resist taking over the director's baton.
As for the 24K pure gold Golden Dragon Award trophy in the TV series … According to the industry's rules, most trophies were kept by the director. Therefore, this pure gold trophy actually belonged to him!
Seeing this, Roland Emmerich felt a little uncomfortable. Although an Oscar was better, he might not be able to get first place.
Secondly, he wasn't made of pure gold!
Of course, these were all small emotions. Still, 10,000 USD was nothing to a movie. The director might feel jealous, but it definitely wouldn't affect his judgment.
The members of the Oscar committee in front of the TV fiercely criticized Boss Jia, saying that he was a "country bumpkin who only knew how to show off his wealth." What a great award ceremony, but he actually made it so vulgar!
At this moment, Boss Jia's performance was still going on. He was still holding the Golden Dragon Award trophy awkwardly, standing on the stage.
"Our award was given to the crew of 'Independence Day,' so this trophy belongs to them. Therefore, although they didn't come, we've decided to give this trophy to the entire crew of 'Independence Day' in another way!"
As soon as Boss Jia's voice fell, some beautiful women walked onto the stage.
First were eight beautiful women wearing cheongsams. They were in groups of two and carried four rectangular tables onto the stage. Under everyone's confused expressions, they returned the four rectangular tables behind Boss Jia and put them together one by one to form a long table.
"What are they trying to do? Are they going to hold a banquet? "The Chinese and foreign guests were all confused.
After the long table was put together, the eight beautiful women in cheongsams left. The most beautiful woman in cheongsams who had brought the trophy up earlier appeared again. She was also holding something in her hands, but it wasn't the Golden Dragon Award trophy. Instead, it was a rectangular wooden plaque that could be placed firmly on a tray.
On the wooden plaque, there was a vertical line of words written in golden paint: "Golden Dragon Award for the most commercial value: Independence Day's Honor."
If one took a closer look, they would be able to see a small vertical line of words at the bottom right corner of the large vertical line of words. It said, "Established in 1997."
This wooden plate was respectfully placed in the middle of the long table by the beautiful woman in the cheongsam. After that, Boss Jia solemnly walked to the front of this wooden plate and placed the Golden Dragon Award trophy in front of the wooden plate.
"Pfffffffffffffffffffffff"
"What is there to be funny? That's a good idea! " The foreign guests and the foreign audience who were watching the live broadcast all thought that the cheongsam maid's smile was unreasonable.
Although the film crew did not come to receive the award on Independence Day, the idea of receiving the award was still very good. Da Qian specially put up a sign for the film crew and then placed the trophy in front of the sign.
After all, the crew didn't come, so they could only put up a plaque. There was no problem at all. It was the best solution to alleviate the awkwardness.
This was such a good solution. What was a maid like her laughing about? The maid that Da Qian had hired was really lacking in quality!
The foreign audience complained one after another.
In fact, the foreign audience in front of the TV were fine. They were just complaining. However, after the foreign guests finished complaining, they found that the Hua Xia guests sitting next to them couldn't help but laugh. Some of them even laughed so hard that their faces were twitching.
"Mr. Chen, why are you laughing?" Director Cameron asked Director Chen curiously.
"Nothing. I thought of something happy!" Director Chen laughed even harder.
"What is it? Let me be happy for you too! "Cameron was even more curious.
"My wife gave birth to a child!" Director Chen acted. His wife, Diao Chan, really gave birth last month. It was a baby with a handle.
"Then other people's wives gave birth too?" Cameron asked curiously when he saw the other Hua Xia guests who were laughing so hard that they were holding their stomachs.
"I think so!" Director Chen laughed even harder when he said it himself. He probably found it more interesting.
Many years later, Director Chen would film a movie called "Snake Belle." He would add today's dialogue into the movie and become one of the most classic comedic dialogues in movie history. It would be constantly mocked by Bilibili's uploaders. It was really worth celebrating!
The Hua Xia guests at the scene were afraid of their etiquette and manners. Although they were laughing so hard that they were about to go crazy, no one pointed out the problem.
There was only one child at the scene. He was also the only child star from Huaxia who had been invited to the ceremony. He was Cao Jun, the most popular young monk recently. He said directly, "Hey, isn't this the memorial tablet?"
"Hahaha!" Hearing the child's words, many people couldn't hold back their laughter anymore. In the end, they laughed wildly, which made the foreign guests even more confused.
That's right. In the eyes of the foreign guests, it was a very clever solution to the problem. In the eyes of the Hua Xia guests, it was clearly a memorial tablet.
Whether it was the shape, the pattern, or the words, it was exactly the same as the memorial tablets or memorial tablets that appeared in countless TV dramas. There was no difference at all.
The only difference was that the memorial tablet had been changed to an Independence Day memorial tablet. Other than that, it was exactly the same as a memorial tablet.
Oh yes, there was even an English translation.
It was precisely because of this that all the Hua Xia guests were laughing so hard that they were going crazy. On the other hand, the foreigners were confused and didn't get the joke at all.
As the Hua Xia guests laughed, they deeply sighed at how narrow-minded Boss Jia was. He actually made a memorial tablet for the movie stars who didn't attend the ceremony. It was simply a joke to the extreme.
In the whole world, except for the tycoon Boss Jia, probably no one would dare to do this. He was going to offend the entire film industry!
They couldn't imagine the expressions of the Independence Day crew and directors after they found out the truth about the memorial tablet!
At the same time, while laughing, they were vigilant in their hearts. They warned themselves that they must never offend Boss Jia. Otherwise, they might really become a memorial tablet.
However, once the memorial tablet was revealed, Boss Jia was happy, but the foreigners hated our Boss Jia even more. They wouldn't come back to attend the film festival in the future. This film festival will really change from an international event to a local one! The people in the Hua Xia film industry sighed in their hearts.
However, they thought too much. The mystery of the memorial tablet was only revealed to the entire Independence Day crew three years later. Before that, the entire crew was quite happy. They felt that Boss Jia respected them. He didn't give the award to others just because they didn't come. Instead, he made a memorial tablet. It was very good. His moral standards were high, and so was his EQ!
Boss Jia was a good person.
