As the group was talking, the short, chubby director James Mangold and producer Douglas walked in.
"It's so good to see you again, damn it."
The two men warmly shook hands with Cao Kun.
The way they looked at Cao Kun was somewhat complicated.
Back when they collaborated, Cao Kun was just a minor supporting actor, barely better off than the background extras.
Now, the other party is not only a more successful producer than himself, but also has his own film company and a net worth of over 100 million US dollars.
He is also the male lead in a blockbuster movie.
The fact that they achieved such success in such a short time and left themselves far behind made both of them feel like it was all a dream.
"Sorry, but I'll have to borrow your fame to increase the exposure of 'Girl Interrupted'."
Douglas apologized to Cao Kun very readily, which made it impossible for Cao Kun to stay angry.
Cao Kun: "The film 'Girl, Interrupted' also helped me a lot."
Cao Kun's words were indeed sincere.
He earned his first pot of gold on the set of "Girl, Interrupted".
The number of attendees increased.
Many celebrities, whom we usually only see on TV and the big screen, appeared in front of Cao Kun, dressed in glamorous attire.
In another world, Cao Kun wouldn't even be qualified to appear in such a setting; seeing these people would likely make him very agitated.
But now, seeing them, like peacocks spreading their tails and desperately showing themselves off, I suddenly feel a sense of transcendence.
…………
More than an hour later.
"The winner of Best Supporting Actress is... Angelina Jolie."
When award presenter Judi Dench announced Angelina's name, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, everyone around Angelina offered their blessings.
Angelina excitedly hugged Cao Kun and whispered in his ear, "Damn, everything I have tonight is yours."
She emphasized the word "everything".
Then, she gave Winona a warm hug.
No matter how much they fight in private, on the surface, they are closer than sisters.
When Angelina held the golden statuette and stood on the podium, at that moment, countless eyes around the world were on her.
Countless people remember this beautiful woman, Angelina.
"I want to thank the academy and the crew of 'Girl, Interrupted'."
I thank producer Mr. Douglas for choosing me to play this role.
Thank you, Director James, for believing in me.
Thank you, Winona. She is a very good actress. She can quickly draw me into the scene and into the role, allowing me to experience a better performance.
I also want to thank Cao Kun…
Every time Angelina said a name, the director would cut the camera to that person's face.
When she mentioned Cao Kun, the camera naturally focused on him.
Angelina said, "This man gave me a feeling I had never had before. He made me confident and brave, and showed me a different world and scenery."
I thank him, I trust him, he is one of the most important people in my life.
Angelina Jolie's words drew attention from countless audience members in the audience and viewers in front of their televisions.
Only Winona smiled outwardly, but inwardly she cursed, "Shameless bitch, how dare she confess in public, you just wait."
Many filmmakers present also turned to look at Cao Kun.
They were all speculating about the relationship between Cao Kun and Angelina.
Before "Fast & Furious," many people in the audience might not have known Cao Kun.
If Angelina said something like that, they would only think that Cao Kun, this gigolo, had gotten incredibly lucky to be chosen by Angelina.
But now, most of the people present already know Cao Kun, and they feel that even if the two of them really get together, it's not a big deal.
After Angelina thanked the audience again, she went backstage for an interview.
She returned only after two more awards were presented.
She half-covered her mouth to avoid being filmed, and whispered to Cao Kun, "Were you moved by me?"
Cao Kun replied matter-of-factly, "Isn't it only right that you thank me?"
Angelina: "Are you even human?"
Vinona pretended to whisper something to Angelina and whispered in her ear, "Bitch, have some shame."
Angelina proudly tossed her head: "It's my freedom to say what I want."
Viona glanced at Cao Kun: "You just wait."
After several more awards were given out, the Best Actress award was finally presented.
Last year's Oscar winner for Best Actress, Gwyneth Paltrow, announced loudly, "The nominees for Best Actress this year are..."
On the big screen, images and sound began to appear.
They are Sheila Swank in *Boys Don't Cry*, Anne Bening in *M*, Julianne Moore in *Love to the End*, Winona Ryder in *Girl, Interrupted*, and Meryl Streep in *Music of the Heart*.
"The winner is... Winona Reid."
Applause erupted instantly.
The camera focused on Winona, revealing her face full of surprise.
Although she was mentally prepared, she was still extremely excited when it actually happened.
It has to be said that this is the magic of the Oscars, and this is why countless filmmakers pursue this award.
The Oscars of this era are indeed the most prestigious in the world for film, bar none.
Winona-Red also hugged Cao Kun and whispered, "Wait for me tonight."
Amid applause, Winona walked onto the stage, held up the little golden statuette high, and received even more enthusiastic applause.
After calming herself down, she began to give her acceptance speech.
"In 1995, I missed out on an Oscar, and I was very frustrated. I worked even harder on my films."
In 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999, I didn't even get a nomination.
I told myself it's okay, as long as I try my best, someone will eventually see me.
Now, I've succeeded.
Applause erupted once again.
Vinona began with her thanks: "Thank you, Academy, thank you..."
"Thank you, Cao Kun."
Amidst everyone's confusion, the camera then focused on Cao Kun.
Viona looked at Cao Kun with deep affection: "I once thought my life was over, but your appearance gave me hope again."
You are like a ray of light, illuminating the dark rest of my life, making me bright again, and bringing me back to life.
They have been given a new and wonderful life, and have regained the courage to face the world.
Thank you for coming into my life. You've made my life complete and helped me become a better version of myself. You will always be the most important person in my life.
As everyone applauded and saw Wei Nuona off to the backstage, they all looked at Cao Kun with gossipy eyes.
What's going on? Both women are saying that Cao Kun is the most important person to them.
Angelina said "one of them," but Viona doesn't even have "one of them."
Two women confessed their love to the same man at the same time.
