Huayu started as a lecturer at Beijing Film Academy

So… we should take advantage of the Oscar halo and grab as much as we can while it’s still there!

He then asked the two, who will be his female companion on the Oscar red carpet?

Unexpectedly, his words caused trouble again. The two women argued and finally decided… whoever can make Gu Zhongyu beg for mercy first will be his female companion!

Can I beg for mercy now?

~

At 6 pm on March 2, US time, Gu Zhongyu and Shariz, who was wearing a crimson dress, stepped onto the gorgeous red carpet of the Oscars, followed by Alexandra, Chen Sicheng and Frank.

Shariz finally beat Alexandra with her physical fitness and became Gu Zhongyu’s female companion today.

Gu Zhongyu calmly waved to the fans and reporters waving on both sides, while walking forward with Shariz.

"Honey, why don't you look happy?"

Salize ignored his words and asked, "I didn't expect you to tailor a movie for Alexandra. It seems that you still like her more!"

During the battle yesterday, Gu Zhongyu told the two that the movie "Barbie" was going to let Alexandra be the heroine. After learning the general plot of the movie, Alexandra, who has loved Barbie dolls since childhood, was so happy that she hugged Gu Zhongyu and kissed him crazily!

Salize was a little jealous, but the movie "Barbie" was obviously not suitable for her. She was almost 40 years old and couldn't bring herself to play a young Barbie doll. This movie was too suitable for Alexandra, who looked cute and had a silly temperament.

So she even felt that Gu Zhongyu's movie was tailor-made for Alexandra.

"How can it be customized? I just happened to be inspired by the feminist trend in the United States in recent years..."

"Really?"

"You are the actress who will win the Oscar for the second time. Be generous, dear. This is not like you."

"Maybe I am just a stingy woman!"

The two chatted without delaying their walk.

Gu Zhongyu has never liked the red carpet, and Shariz has long been tired of walking, so the two walked very fast, almost like walking normally.

During the whole red carpet process, they just let the media reporters take pictures and sign autographs for fans as a routine, and almost stepped on the tail of Julia Roberts in front to enter the media interview area.

In fact, from the moment they walked on the red carpet, the camera lenses in the hands of the reporters were like crazy, constantly aiming at the two to take pictures.

It's really too young!

Even according to Western aesthetics, Gu Zhongyu deserves the title of handsome guy. Such a young oriental man is actually the investor and starring screenwriter of the movie. This is incredible in Hollywood.

Gu Zhongyu was wearing a dark suit, which was specially made for him by Armani, while Sharize's dress was specially made by Dior. Dior really loves Sharize, and has made her the global spokesperson for several consecutive years. She was also breathtakingly beautiful in the Dior commercials she shot before!

There are still many benefits to accepting endorsements. For example, in occasions like this, you don't need to ask, the brand will take the initiative to contact you and help you customize exclusive clothes to walk on the red carpet.

Chen Sicheng, who was behind, couldn't hide his excitement. Walking on the Oscar red carpet was something he dared not think of in his life. He didn't expect that he had already been nominated in his thirties. Regardless of whether he could win the award this time, his position in the domestic entertainment industry in the future would no longer be comparable to that of ordinary artists.

So Chen Sicheng accepted every reporter who asked questions and introduced himself and "The Invisible Guest" very enthusiastically.

Alexandra felt that it was a bit embarrassing to be with him, so she simply left him, caught up with Gu Zhongyu, and took his other arm.

Gu Zhongyu laughed. Chen Sicheng's reaction was normal. After all, it was an honor that many predecessors had not been able to achieve. It would be difficult for anyone to control themselves.

Entering the Dolby Theater, Gu Zhongyu walked through the hall and entered the theater with two beauties on his left and right. He did not greet other people. The main reason was that he really knew a limited number of people, and everyone was in a different circle. Maybe after this session, Gu Zhongyu would never come to the Oscars again.

But Leo still had to say hello. After all, people supported him in Cannes before. If Gu Zhongyu could be nominated for the best actor this time, wouldn't that mean he would become his opponent?

The crew of "The Grandmaster" also came. This was the third time that Gu Zhongyu met Zhang Ziyi at the awards ceremony.

Zhang Ziyi was very happy to see Gu Zhongyu. She wanted to go up and say hello, but seeing that Gu Zhongyu's two generals were on both sides, she backed off. After all, Salisbury was an Oscar winner, and she was tall and strong. Just seeing this aura, she was actually a little timid in her heart.

The King of Sunglasses took the initiative to come over and chat with Gu Zhongyu, and even jokingly said that he wanted to ask Gu Zhongyu to help him write a movie script.

Brother, you are really joking!

Who doesn't know that you, the King of Sunglasses, don't need a script when making movies?

Even if you want to write a script, you will write it slowly with your toes while thinking after the filming starts. Character setting, plot, etc.... Are they important to you, Director Wang?

Although many people say that the King of Sunglasses is a genius director in the Chinese entertainment industry, Gu Zhongyu has never been very interested in this guy. After all, movies are for people to watch, not for you to use as a tool to show off your skills.

The TV series "Flowers" directed by Sunglasses King in his previous life has been touted by countless people as a pearl of the era. Gu Zhongyu admitted that the photography, filters and lighting of this drama are all top-notch, no worse than theater movies, but the plot is simply suspended. To the extreme!

Not only are the plot, characters, and scenes exaggerated, but the most important thing is that the whole drama promotes getting rich by stock trading, which makes me really confused. In China, you can get rich however you want, by stock trading...

Looking at today’s A-share index, no one would think that this thing can make one rich, right?

Moreover, the people in the TV series do not look like they are living in the magical city of the 1990s, but more like the concessions of the old era...

Several people found the location of the crew of "The Invisible Guest". In fact, there were less than ten people from their crew. Most of them were sitting relatively far back. Only Gu Zhongyu, Chen Sicheng and the two female leads were seated. Relatively forward.

Before sitting down, an executive from ABC TV station came over to chat with Gu Zhongyu for a few words. Later, several Hollywood film producers came up one after another.

If Gu Zhongyu was just an actor, he would not be so popular at all. The main reason is that he owns a film and television company in China, and its scale is not small, so he is particularly valued.

After all, he represents the vast mainland market!

Starting in 2002, the Oscars began to have a fixed awards venue, the Kodak Theatre. Kodak spent US$74 million to obtain the naming rights of the theater for 20 years. In addition, it also paid US$3.6 million to the theater owner CIM Group every year.

However, 10 years later, in 2012, the poorly managed Kodak Company filed for bankruptcy protection and terminated the naming contract.

In the same year, CIM Group announced that it had signed a 20-year naming contract with audio technology company Dolby Laboratories.

Since then, the Kodak Theater has officially been renamed the "Dolby Theater" and the Oscar Awards will be held here until 2033.

American media commented that for the entire film industry, the Oscars are more like a large-scale film industry promotional film.

In terms of TV revenue alone, it is estimated that this year's Oscars alone will help ABC TV bring in nearly $100 million in revenue.

Of course, the Oscar broadcast fee paid by ABC to the Academy is also as high as 80 million!

During the telecast of this year's awards ceremony, an average of 11 minutes were broadcast per hour, which is about 15 minutes longer than the average in recent years.

What makes people even more speechless is that the fees only go up but not down!

Each clip inserted in the Oscar live broadcast was sold for an average of US$1.76 million. Each clip was played for 30 seconds, which is equivalent to an average of nearly US$60,000 per second.

According to data released by Kantar Media Consulting, Coca-Cola paid approximately US$41.5 million in fees from 2009 to 2013, and non-catering brands such as Hyundai Motor also spent huge sums.

Of course, whether it is selling to make money or entertaining the public, Hollywood is actually the biggest winner at the Oscars.

But apart from these interest factors related to money, what the public is more willing to believe is that people love the statuette because they do not miss any opportunity to create excellent works of art.

…

The music suddenly sounded, and the Oscars were about to begin. This year’s host is Ellen DeGeneres, the most famous talk show host in the United States, the host of The Ellen DeGeneres Show!

Being able to host the Oscars is definitely a good job for a national host. Compared with the one in 2007, Allen has definitely improved significantly. At least the jokes he told made the audience laugh, and his level was high and not vulgar.

This is really a skill. There are not many hosts with this level in domestic entertainment. Just counting Wang Han, He Jiong and others, Xie Na, Shen Mengcheng and others can host the program. It’s so embarrassing that you can’t even do a basic warm-up!

First, we teased some celebrities, and almost all the actors who were nominated were not missed!

Of course, he didn't give up the opportunity to tease the crew of "The Invisible Guest". The camera showed Gu Zhongyu and he just smiled.

After a 15-minute opening performance, the awards began!

The Oscars ceremony lasts about 3 hours, but stingy people don’t even have any food to eat, but this year is an exception because Ellen DeGeneres ordered 300 pizza delivery!

But this is just an example. The three-hour award ceremony has 23 nominations. You have to stand up and applaud every time a winner comes on stage.

Why! It’s simply a torture, especially for those who were nominated but didn’t win the award!

The first person to present an award was the loud-mouthed Anne Hathaway, who presented the Best Supporting Actor award.

Anne Hathaway is an outlier among the bunch of youth idols promoted by Disney. Not only did she not quickly fall away from the entertainment industry like other idols, but she successfully turned around and became the Best Supporting Actress at the last Oscar with her good vision and acting skills!

Although she was criticized for being unpopular with the audience, she still continued to film.

Of course, such good days will soon come to an end, and she will soon become the most hated actress in the United States!

Such a talented and beautiful perfect woman should be a popular goddess in people's eyes. Why do Americans hate her so much?

Because Anne Hathaway is annoying, she has been avoiding showing her true self, but trying her best to create a perfect self, and then... her secret was revealed.

The American people are really tolerant. Many actors and singers fight, race, drink, commit domestic violence, take K drugs, steal... but they are still doing well. Everyone thinks that they are just that kind of people and it is nothing strange.

But they cannot tolerate a "fake sweetheart" like Anne Hathaway!

After Anne Hathaway's impeccable speech, it was announced that Jared Leto won the award.

Tonight's Oscars are destined to be full of surprises. "American Hustle" was nominated for ten times but won nothing. "Gravity" is the biggest winner so far. "12 Years a Slave" won a lot of prop awards and the Best Supporting Actress Award!

The Best Supporting Actress was given to the black actress Lupita Nyong'o.

When the award ceremony was nearly halfway through, Gu Zhongyu and Shariz watched the excitement.

Because Shariz played a 60-year-old man in the movie without any flaws, "The Invisible Guest" also won the Best Makeup and Hair Design Prop Award, but not many people cared about it.

There was nothing much to watch in the first half. Gu Zhongyu noticed that the host Allen was using a Sansang phone. Calculating the time, Sansang phones have only been around for a few years in China, and they appeared almost at the same time as the ban on Korean movies. Is this a coincidence or...

During the interval of the award ceremony, the scene also played videos on the big screen to commemorate the famous filmmakers who died in 2013 around the world, including Shirley Temple and Peter O'Toole, the star of Lawrence of Arabia.

It is worth mentioning that the image of Mr. Shaw Yifu, the founder of Shaw Brothers, also appeared in this video.

This old man is one of the incubators of Hong Kong movies. He has made great contributions to Chinese-language movies and has donated tens of billions to the mainland to build hospitals and schools. Although many people commented that he was stingy with actors, Gu Zhongyu liked him very much. I wish him a good journey!

The nominations for The Invisible Guest were Best Editing, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress and Best Picture, except for Best Makeup. According to the tradition of the Oscars, these awards are usually presented later, more than halfway through the ceremony!

So much so that Gu Zhongyu was a little hungry when the ceremony was more than halfway through, but fortunately, the pizza delivery ordered by Ellen DeGeneres finally arrived at this time.

She also led the delivery man directly to the award stage, and then served pizza to the guests one by one!

So, at the 86th Oscars, the audience saw hundreds of stars gathering together to eat pizza...

(Xiao Shitou wishes everyone a happy Year of the Dragon, all the best, and my readers all get promoted and make a fortune, have filial wives and virtuous children, and a happy family!)
