So there is no way this movie will win any film awards related to the United States.
At this moment, a voice said, "Boss Fu, I think you really can reconsider this."
It's Sam.
It seems that after being rejected by Fu Song, he still did not give up and wanted to try to win her back again.
Seeing Fu Song about to speak, Sam suddenly pointed at the stage and said, "Do you know that your Wolf Warrior 2 sold so many tickets at the box office, but it didn't even win the Best Box Office Award?
You must think it’s the content, but it’s not.
The United States is a very tolerant country. Our filmmakers often poke fun at the FBI, and some are so ruthless that they even go so far as to mock the President.
Fu Song was stunned: "Really? What's the reason?"
"It's simple, because the Oscar officials think the box office figures for Wolf Warrior 2 are not real.
As we all know, the Chinese people’s favorite thing to do is to vote.
Originally, a movie could only sell 600 to 700 million yuan, but you guys forced it to become 60 to 70 billion yuan.
In this case, why would the Oscars give you the best box office award?
Fu Song said blankly, "You mean, the actual box office of Wolf Warrior 2 is only 600 to 700 million?"
“That’s not what I think, that’s what the officials think.
Before judging the awards, they will watch the nominated films repeatedly and make an assessment of their quality.
If the difference between the quality of a film and its actual box office is too great, it will be deemed as ticket manipulation and will be disqualified from the evaluation."
Fu Song suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"
Sam spread his hands and said, "Look, I really believe that Wolf Warrior 2 wasn't rigged, but what's the point of just me believing it?
You have to convince all the Oscar officials.
This is also why I asked you to sell the butterfly to me.
As a frequent visitor to the Oscars, I still have a say in it.
If I had said a few kind words during the award judging process, the final result might have been different.”
Fu Song nodded: "I see, it's just a secret operation.
Delete the videos that don’t suit your taste, and only comment on the ones that suit your taste.”
Sam was unhappy: "What's the point of this behind-the-scenes manipulation? It's just that the quality of Wolf Warrior 2 itself and its box office performance are so different that misunderstandings arise.
In fact, this is not the first time a similar situation has occurred. It just needs to be explained clearly.
You sell me the butterfly and I will explain it to you.
By then, let alone the Best Box Office Award, I guarantee you’ll win plenty of other awards.”
Fu Song glanced at Sam and shook his head: "Not for sale!"
"You..." Seeing Fu Song's stubborn attitude, Sam's face turned black with anger:
"Boss Fu, you are clearly a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know how to appreciate a good person.
Now I can tell you clearly that if you continue to be obsessed with this, you will not even think of winning a single Oscar today."
As if to confirm Sam's words, Christie kept reciting the list.
Including the finale Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, and especially Best Picture, none of them had anything to do with Fu Song.
Looking at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock in the morning. Fu Song was about to stand up when Christie said, "Next is the last award of this Oscar Film Festival, the Oscar Honorary Award.
This award is a new one we established and it is intended to reward filmmakers who have made outstanding contributions to the global film world.
The person who won the Honorary Oscar this year is Sam Warner of Warner Bros.!
Since founding Warner Bros., Mr. Sam Warner has worked diligently and made progress, contributing to the world's well-known film and television series such as the Batman series, the Superman series, the Matrix series, the Harry Potter series, and the Lord of the Rings series.
He deserves this honor!"
Sam stood up from his chair and walked onto the stage.
And the moment Sam stood up, the crowd erupted in excitement.
Everyone kept shouting Sam's name with excited expressions.
Although Warner Bros.' works in the past two years have been lackluster, their previous films are truly classics.
Just hearing the name brings back a flood of childhood memories.
After greetings, pleasantries, award presentations, and taking photos, it was soon time for personal speeches.
Just when everyone thought Sam would talk about his life experience like everyone else, the legendary figure said directly:
“Ladies and gentlemen, rather than asking me to make a personal speech, I would rather introduce someone to you.
He is from China. Although it is a pity that he did not win the award today, his talent cannot be ignored.
Can we invite him to come up and say a few words?"
"Okay!" Although everyone agreed in unison, they looked at each other in confusion.
Because Sam clearly meant to give this rare opportunity to someone else.
But the next moment, they began to admire the noble character of this old artist. After all, there are not many people who can support the younger generation in this way.
Sam said, "Then we'll invite Fu Song, the boss of Huaguo Caidie Culture and Entertainment!"
Fu Song, who was sitting in a chair thinking about life, was stunned. He never expected Sam to do this.
Others thought that Sam letting them go up was a sign of his magnanimity and eagerness for talent.
But Fu Song knew that was not the case at all.
Sam wants to trick himself after being rejected by himself twice and three times.
Because speaking on stage is a double-edged sword.
If you speak elegantly, have a good sense of humor, and are confident, you can certainly gain points for yourself.
But if you hesitate, panic, and fail to express yourself clearly, no matter how great your future achievements are, you will never be able to wash away this stain.
