"Party A or Party B?" When they heard the name of the movie, almost all the foreign guests were dumbfounded. Boss Jia said the name directly in Chinese, so they naturally did not understand.
Below the stage, Feng Pants, who was sitting there in a daze, suddenly felt his waist being poked. He said subconsciously, "Youyou, stop fooling around. I'm imagining how extravagant we are going to be after we get 100 million USD. What movie are we going to make?"
"I think Boss Jia said the name of our movie!" Baldy Youyou said hesitantly.
"Stop fooling around. How can our movie win such an international award?" Feng Pants said without hesitation.
"But I heard Mr. Jia say that it's our movie. He said it in standard Mandarin. There's no mistake. It's our Party A or Party B!" Baldy Youyou was also a little hesitant.
"That's even more impossible!" Feng Pants said wittily, "Boss Jia has always hosted in English. He also speaks in English. How can there be Mandarin in English?"
"There must be a few English words. It sounds like our Party A or Party B, you heard wrong!"
"Oh! That makes sense! "Baldy Youyou nodded. How could 100 million USD have anything to do with him?
At this time, Boss Jia announced the final winners on the stage. The winner of the first Golden Dragon Award for Best Film was not the popular movie that had won the most awards, Independence Day.
Instead, it was Spirit Catcher, produced by Miramax. To be honest, this movie was indeed very good and left a deep impression on many audiences.
Although Spirit Catcher was basically a side character in all the previous single-category awards, it did not win any awards. However, its overall quality was the highest. It was given an average score of 8.46 by all the audiences, making it the movie with the highest overall rating.
Of course, in the end, Spirit Catcher only won a Golden Dragon Trophy and was enshrined in front of its own memorial tablet. The prize money would definitely go to someone else.
However, the problem was that no one was there for the other movies. In the end, when it came to the fifth place, Boss Jia smiled and asked in English, "Is the crew of Party A or Party B here?"
"He called us again!" Baldy Youyou said excitedly.
"English. How many times have I said it? That's English!!!" Feng Kuo rolled his eyes at Baldy Youyou.
On the other hand, Boss Jia found it strange that no one below the stage answered. Even though Youyou's shiny bald head was swaying not far away, and it even reflected the light from time to time. Could it be that his compatriots were so noble that they didn't even want 100 million USD?
After thinking for a long time, Boss Jia came to a sudden realization. Then, he said in Mandarin, "The crew of Party A, Party B, please come up to the stage to receive your award!"
"He's calling us! This time it should be Chinese! "Baldy Youyou quivered.
"It just sounds similar. Maybe there's an entire sentence in English that sounds similar to Chinese!" While Feng Trouser was still pondering, Boss Jia on the stage said impatiently, "Feng Trouser and Bald Youyou, if you don't come up, I won't give you the bonus!"
"They're here! They're coming, they're coming! " Baldy Youyou completely threw Feng Trouser to the ground, then jogged up the stage in a somewhat comical manner. Feng Trouser finally came to his senses and went up the stage even more excitedly than Baldy Youyou.
"Boss Jia, we really won the award!" Baldy Youyou actually had a good relationship with Boss Jia. This was because when Daqian Entertainment was shooting a movie, Baldy Youyou had worked with Baldy Youyou before. Later on, the two of them even had a meal together. In addition, Baldy Youyou was a very open-minded guy, so he asked directly.
"Nonsense, you're the only ones with bad ears!" Boss Jia rolled his eyes. The Hua Xia guests at the scene roared with laughter. The foreign guests were more confused. They didn't understand what Boss Jia was saying at all!
"Boss Jia, can our movie really be nominated??" Feng Trouser was even more curious and excited than Baldy Youyou. This was because he actually felt that his movie didn't deserve to be nominated!
"Of course, the audience scored points. It has nothing to do with me!" Boss Jia shrugged his shoulders and said.
According to the rules announced by Boss Jia, "Party A, Party B" originally had no chance of winning at all. This was because it was only released in China. However, according to the principle of avoidance in China, "Party A, Party B" didn't have enough votes to be nominated.
However, in history, "Party A, Party B" was completely self-entertaining in China. In this world, the international distribution rights of "Party A, Party B" were bought by Boss Jia for 2 million RMB. Then, they directly released it on the global market.
Yes, although foreigners weren't interested in this movie, there were many overseas Chinese. Moreover, the reviews were quite good. In this era, many overseas Chinese were also loyal to their motherland. After seeing that their motherland produced such an interesting movie, they couldn't help but give it high marks.
Logically speaking, "Party A, Party B" had a high score. However, this was the audience's choice. Boss Jia strictly followed the rules and didn't have much to say.
In the end, "Party A, Party B" was lucky enough to be in the top five. Then, because the top four didn't show up, the prize money was given to them.
Boss Jia was very satisfied with the 100 million USD prize money that "Party A, Party B" finally took away. After all, he didn't want the goodies to go to other people's fields!
Although he was a little unhappy with Feng Trouser in the future, compared to The Preceptor and Director Chen, Feng Trouser's movie was actually not bad. Moreover, Baldy Youyou's character was quite likable.
"Is this 100 million USD really for me??" Feng Trouser looked at the 80 small cars full of USD being pushed out behind him and swallowed his saliva.
"It's fine if you don't want it …"
"Don't listen to him. We want it. We want the money!" Baldy Youyou quickly said with a smile. Boss Jia rolled his eyes and said, "You two shouldn't have split it among yourselves. I know that I didn't invite too many people from your crew, so you guys split the money. If you two dare to take it all for yourselves, I promise this will be your last income!"
"Yes! Yes! " Baldy Youyou immediately promised. Then, the two guys took the money and walked away as if they were walking on clouds.
The guests at the scene, whether they were Hua Xia people or foreigners, and all the film companies in front of the TV, couldn't wait to swallow the two guys alive.
This was really a case of monkeys becoming kings when there are no tigers in the mountains!
The 100 million USD prize money was actually given out just like that. It was worth mentioning that in the Forbes Hua Xia Billionaires List released in April, Feng Trouser and Baldy Youyou directly jumped to the top 50 Hua Xia Billionaires List. They could be called legends of wealth.
"Everyone, don't be jealous!" Boss Jia looked at everyone's expressions and smiled. "This year's number will not change next year. However much the prize money is this year, it will be the same next year. I hope to see everyone again next year! "
"Nonsense, whoever doesn't come next year is the number one idiot in the world!" Everyone said in unison in their hearts, especially those who missed out on the big prize, the crew, and the company. They really felt that they were idiots.
