"But Smith's second movie is amazing!" Billy said with a look of surprise, "The movie called Two Smoking Barrels doesn't have any big-name stars, and the investment is only a few million. But it raked in hundreds of millions of box office around the world!"

After mentioning Zhang Dongcheng and the mummy, Billy changed the subject. Naturally, he couldn't keep the topic entangled in Zhang Dongcheng. This is an Oscar awards ceremony, not an advertisement for Zhang Dongcheng himself.

"In fact, in addition to Smith Zhang's mummy, there is also the Coen Brothers' Fargo, which is a very funny movie, full of blood and internal organs!" Bi brazenly teased the Coen Brothers. "The Coen Brothers are really fooling around, it's obviously a very violent movie!"

As time passed, when Billy's solo show was over, the awards ceremony finally officially began.

The first award is the best art direction. Presented by Sandra Bullock. A total of five films were nominated for this award.

"Romeo and Juliet" directed by Baz Luhrmann, "Hamlet" directed by Kenneth Branagh, "Madame Peron" directed by Alan Parker, "Fake" directed by Mike Nichols "Phoenix Phoenix" and "The English Patient", which is about to become the biggest winner of this year's Oscars!

In the end, no surprise, the winner of this award was "The English Patient"!

The second award is Best Cinematography.

Adaman suddenly seemed to think of something, and said to Zhang Dongcheng and several people around him: "Hey, Smith, Brandon, and everyone, it's too boring to wait like this, should we take a gamble?"

"Gamble?" Brandon showed a somewhat stunned expression, and said, "You don't plan to bet on who will win the prize in the end, do you?"

"That's right!" Adaman said: "It's too boring to wait like this. If I don't do something, I think I will fall asleep!"

"Alright then, explain how to bet!" Brandon and the others quickly agreed.

"One thousand dollars at a time!" What Adaman cares about is not whether he can win money, what he really wants is to kill this **** time!

"OK! Then let's start with this best shot!" Brandon couldn't wait.

Jason was silent for a while, looking at the names of the five movies on the big screen. He took out a thousand dollars from his wallet and said, "I haven't watched any of these five films, so I'll just choose "Fly with You"!"

Jason's bet caused everyone to pay.

After everyone has selected their favorite movie, Zhang Dongcheng is the only one left who has not expressed his opinion for a long time.

"Smith, don't be so disappointing, please? Everyone is just having fun. Come on, just make a movie!" Adaman greeted.

"This?" Zhang Dongcheng was embarrassed, and said, "I don't want it anymore."

"Why?" Brandon hugged his girlfriend, dissatisfied with Zhang Dongcheng's aggressive tactics, and said: "Smith, you can't be so stingy, it's only a thousand dollars, so what if you lose? Come on Come on, let's play together!"

Shaking his head, Zhang Dongcheng said: "Forget it, I still won't participate. But I'm not because I'm stingy. I'm worried that if I participate, you will lose miserably!"

If he didn't add the following sentence, everyone might believe it, but these words have aroused people's rebellious psychology more and more.

"Oh! Smith, you are too arrogant. Unless you already know who will win the prize. But this is impossible. Well, hurry up and place your bet! We will admit it if we lose!" Adaman immediately snapped Zhang Dongcheng gave it a hand. Signaled him to place a bet quickly.

"Okay!" In desperation, Zhang Dongcheng could only agree. Knowing the result, it is impossible for Zhang Dongcheng to lose. "I beat The English Patient"

"Why?" Everyone looked at each other, and Brandon said, "Smith, you don't want to lose to us on purpose, do you?"

After the British patient won the best art director just now, everyone felt that the second award would probably not fall on the British patient. After all, although there are consecutive awards, they are very rare.

"I won't lose!" Zhang Dongcheng smiled mysteriously, pointed to the stage, and said, "Look, it will be revealed soon! Then you will know that I am not participating because I am afraid of losing, but because I am afraid of you losing." !"

Hearing Zhang Dongcheng's proud words, everyone was suddenly upset.

"The winner of the best photography is..." Tim Robbins, as the award presenter, naturally knows how to arouse the emotions of the audience. At the most critical moment, he suddenly stopped.

After a while, he suddenly said loudly: "Mr. John Hill from the crew of "The English Patient"!"

"Wow! What a disappointment!" Up to the final result, Brandon said unhappily: "I didn't expect to be guessed by you. Smith, your luck is really good! But it's only once. I don't believe you can guess it right next time. Let's do it again!"

This time there is no need to summon Adaman, and Brandon, who lost once, took out a thousand dollars again. Said: "This time it's Best Supporting Actress, I bet Barbara Hershey from "A Lady's True Colors" can get this statuette. How about you?"

Adaman pondered for a moment, took out a thousand dollars, and said, "I choose Joan Allen from "The Age of Passion"!"

Soon, everyone bet in twos and threes, and only Zhang Dongcheng and Jason were left.

"Hey, why don't you two bet yet?" Brandon urged impatiently. He mustered his energy this time and wanted to win. More money and less money is secondary, the most important thing is to get the refreshment of winning!

"I'm not in a hurry, Smith is pressing that one, I'll follow that one!" Jason grinned. His eyes looked at Zhang Dongcheng with deep trust.

Zhang Dongcheng heard the words and said with a smile: "Okay then, I'll still vote for "The English Patient"! I believe Juliette Binoche can get this statuette!"

"Oh! Smith, are you okay?" Adaman looked at Zhang Dongcheng in surprise and said, "It is impossible for a British patient to get another statuette. Up to now, two consecutive awards have been awarded to this movie." How could there be a third time!"

"You will believe it soon!" Zhang Dongcheng didn't explain. Because the award presenters are already opening the envelopes.

"The winner of the 69th Oscar for Best Supporting Actress is...Ms. Juliette Binoche from the crew of "The English Patient"! Everyone applauds!"

"****!" Adaman swears, looks at Zhang Dongcheng in horror and asks: "Smith, you don't really know who will win the prize in advance, do you?"

It is no wonder that Adaman has such doubts. You must know that Zhang Dongcheng made the right choice every time, and when he made the choice, he was not at all hesitant like other people. Instead, he was extremely firm, as if he knew it in advance.

"Of course not!" Zhang Dongcheng shook his head and explained: "It's also my first time to participate in the Oscars, and it has nothing to do with the Academy. How could I get the news in advance?"

"But why did you guess right twice?" Brandon was also puzzled. This kind of thing is unscientific! As the saying goes, if one has two, it is impossible to have three! He gritted his teeth and continued: "Let's do it again. The following is a cartoon, I don't believe you can guess it correctly. This time there are only four nominations, I choose... choose "Giant"!"

Brandon reluctantly took out another thousand dollars.

"I choose "Studio Story"." Adaman also bet.

Then everyone started betting in a chaotic manner. Burton said: "I choose Pursuit!"

"Smith, it's your turn again. This time there is no English patient for you to choose. Which one would you choose?" Brandon asked.

The only ones left this time are Zhang Dongcheng and Jason. Jason seemed to be planning to follow Zhang Dongcheng all the way to the dark place. He pressed that, and Jason followed directly.

"I, like Burton, choose "Pursuit"!" Zhang Dongcheng took out a thousand dollars bet from a large pile of change in his hand.

""Pursuit"!" Jason replied very briefly, and then also took out a thousand dollars from the large pile of change he won just now.

soon! The award presenter opened the envelope. The final result still did not have any surprises. Guess it was Zhang Dongcheng! Of course, Burton and Jason who followed Zhang Dongcheng were also added.

"Oh! ****! MyGod!" Brandon patted his chest, stared at Zhang Dongcheng suspiciously in the middle of his eyes, and said, "Smith, to be honest, did you know the result a long time ago?" ? Who told you? Tell me quietly, I won't tell anyone!"

Oscar leaks rarely happen, but once it happens, it makes these actors feel itchy, and they can't wait to know the result.

"Can you keep a secret?" Zhang Dongcheng stared at Brandon with scrutiny and asked.

"Of course, I will definitely keep it a secret!" Brandon replied impatiently.

"Then I can too!" Zhang Dongcheng smiled slightly, and gave an answer that made Brandon and others collapse.

Brandon choked on Zhang Dongcheng's answer, and shook his head with a wry smile after a while, saying: "Okay, Smith! You win!"

Zhang Dongcheng blinked narrowly at everyone, and said with a bit of teasing in his tone: "How is it? Do you want to continue playing?"

Adaman and others shook their heads and refused without hesitation. What are you kidding? This kind of gameplay is like guessing the number of points in a sieve, but Zhang Dongcheng can see through the dice cup and know the number of points. How could they play with Zhang Dongcheng?

Regarding their rejection, Zhang Dongcheng had already guessed, with a hateful grinning smile on his face, counting the money on purpose, and even made a sound. He sighed rather irritatingly, and said to Jason: "Jason, let's share the money!"

Huang Yiyu couldn't help but smile when he saw the harmonious relationship between Zhang Dongcheng and the people in the company. After all, such a company will make people feel at home. It is much better than that kind of rigid company.
