Millennium director

After holding the trophy for Best Director, Wu Yuan's Oscar journey was officially over.

Although there was still a Best Picture award that had not been announced, he knew that this award had nothing to do with him.

Disney did not have any public relations, and his movies did not reach the level of being able to crush other movies of the same year without any public relations.

The only thing that made Wu Yuan a little curious was whether Warner could make "Joker" beat "Parasite" and take the Best Picture trophy in this time and space that he messed up?

It didn't happen in the original time and space.

But maybe in this time and space, because of Wu Yuan's appearance and the intrusion of "Bruce Lee", Warner invested more effort and money in public relations, and did it?

Wu Yuan, who returned to his seat, was a little curious.

Not for anything else, just for fun.

After all, he was the only one in the world who knew the original ending. If this ending changed, it would become a fun thing for him alone.

He should be the only one in the world who knew this, right?

I was thinking about this all over again. Not long after, Jane Fonda, the presenter of the Best Picture Award, came onto the stage.

The more important the award ceremony is, the more important the presenter will be.

Although Jane Fonda is not well-known in China, she is a well-known grandmother-level actress in North America and the UK.

Born in 1937, she is over 80 years old this year, but she is still active in the film industry. She has won two Academy Awards for Best Actress, three Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress, two British Academy Film Awards for Best Actress, and the 36th Emmy Award for Best Actress in her acting career.

The number cannot be said to be large, but each one is a top award.

And she herself is also a super elegant beauty. Even though she is now in her eighties, she is still very elegant, which proves the saying that beauty is in the bones, not in the skin, and she ages gracefully.

At least when Wu Yuan saw this grandmother-level actress walk onto the award stage, he couldn't tell that she was already over 80 years old, and she even had blonde hair.

What a pity.

The final award result didn't make Wu Yuan happy.

I don't know if it was because Warner's public relations were not good enough, or if the Academy really wanted to push political correctness this year, the Best Picture Award was finally awarded to "Parasite".

When Jane Fonda read out the name of the movie, the entire "Parasite" crew jumped up, hugged each other excitedly and laughed, and the sound was so loud that Wu Yuan, who was more than ten meters away, could hear it clearly.

Unfortunately, both "Bruce Lee" and "Joker" became losers, only nominated but not winning.

However, compared to the "Bruce Lee" crew, which didn't have much hope for this, the "Joker" crew next door was really regretful. Wu Yuan could even see the deep disappointment on Todd Phillips' face.

I don't know if he was disappointed in himself or disappointed in Warner.

Wu Yuan knew Todd Phillips, and Todd Phillips even worked for him.

When Light Age was first established, Todd Phillips was poached to be a tool director. He directed the "Hangover" series. During this period, the company also invested in him to shoot two movies that Todd Phillips wanted to make.

However, "The Hangover" was a success, but the experimental movies that Todd Phillips wanted to make were not successful. The first one lost more than one million US dollars, and the second one made a small profit of more than three million US dollars.

Later, Todd Phillips contacted other film companies. After Light Age was sold by Wu Yuan, he left Light Age directly. After many twists and turns, he finally got back to the original track and hooked up with Warner.

Looking at Todd Phillips's somewhat lonely back, Wu Yuan was full of emotion.

Although Joker is the IP of DC Universe, it is rare for a company to bear all the costs when making movies. Everyone has to spread the investment risks, especially Warner's DC movie universe, which has always been a series of films. Warner does not dare to do it all by itself, and often pulls other companies to make a deal.

Back then, he wanted to win over Todd Phillips and get on good terms with him so that he could intervene in the production of Joker and make a fortune.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. After the sale of Time Light, Wu Yuan lost interest in investing in and producing movies in Hollywood, and naturally stopped caring about Todd Phillips.

But as a director, he still has empathy for Todd Phillips.

For Todd Phillips, this Oscar trip is likely to be the only chance in his life to get involved in the Best Picture Award.

But he missed this opportunity.

(Wu Yuan didn't know about Joker 2)

"But Joker was so successful, maybe Warner will think about Joker 2. If the second movie can maintain the level of the first movie, Todd Phillips still has a chance to win the Best Picture award." Wu Yuan thought to himself.

In this way, the 92nd Academy Awards came to an end after the Best Picture result was announced, which was recognized by movie fans in other regions except North America, but slightly controversial among North American movie fans.

Well, North American movie fans and the even larger number of ordinary spectators really don't know what movie Parasite is. They also don't understand why the Oscars, which have always only awarded movies released in North America, would give the Best Picture award to a Korean movie this year.

But overseas, this result is highly recognized. After all, "Parasite" is indeed the best international film last year. Looking at the world, it is well deserved.

Even Jovan was very gloating after seeing this result, "Hahaha, Warner messed up."

"Those old men in the academy are not completely obsessed with money. They can be bought off by just throwing money."

"Fortunately, we took a step back and chose the best director."

"Daniel, this result is still good for you, and the public recognition is also very high!"

"Next, we just need to strike while the iron is hot and make every effort to promote the global release of "Bruce Lee."

"I bet that the global box office of this movie may exceed 300 million US dollars!"

"Yeah!" Wu Yuan nodded and said firmly: "Hurry up!"

"It will be released on a large scale in North America in February, and the major markets around the world must be fully released at least before May!"

"Otherwise it will be too late!"

"Too late?" Jovan was a little confused.

"Have you not been following the news in China?" Wu Yuan smiled bitterly: "The cinemas in China have completely withdrawn their schedules, and no movies are being shown now."

"If it is delayed any further, I believe this will be a black swan event that will affect the whole world, and movie tickets will not be sold around the world."

"Let's not talk about this. After the dinner is over tonight, I will return to China immediately."

"It took me a lot of effort to get the route so that my private jet can fly back to the capital of China."

"There can be no more delay." (End of this chapter)
