After signing with AC Milan, I was open

Chapter 713 Extra: I am an Actor: Oscar Night (Subscription Request)
Hotel Belle Epoque.

Willem Dafoe sits on the balcony of his room enjoying the night view of Venice.

He believed that the description in The Merchant of Venice was certainly not as beautiful as what he saw.

Who would have thought that by starring in a commercial film, he would become the first actor in Hollywood history to earn over $40 billion for a single film?
If his character hadn't died, he would have wanted to act in the second part for free.

I don't know how many calls I've received from big Hollywood directors during this period.

No one can stop a leading man like Kevin Wong.

Even if the second part isn't as good, there is still a guaranteed 30 billion. There are almost no directors who can reach this level with a film, but Kevin Huang himself can bring in so much box office.

With actors like this around, there is no possibility of failure.

Only winning.

Small win, medium win, big win!
Won Ma.

Although he hadn't thought about it before, he has now felt the benefits.

There are a lot more scripts to choose from.

Reporters were more enthusiastic about him than before, hoping that he would expose some scandals of Kevin Huang.

Those bastards don’t think about it carefully. If Kevin Huang really had those scandals, they would have been exposed by some major media long ago.

With the opening of the film festival, Italy has become much more lively.

Because Kevin Huang's film was nominated, the number of journalists in Venice was more than double the usual number.

Many of the journalists are sports journalists.

There are quite a lot of domestic actors because the three major film festivals all sell tickets.

An invitation letter costs more than 10,000 euros, and mainland actors have always been the main consumers.

Lily looked out the window at the many Asian faces and asked, "Aren't you going to say hello to your compatriots?"

"forget it."

Huang Kaiwen shook his head vigorously and said, "Those actresses who don't have any works have no moral integrity. They might even fall down due to exposure. If I say hello, she will probably say that I am pursuing her or inviting her to play the leading role."

The Yellow Ball King doesn't want anyone to take advantage of him for nothing.

Even if you can't get in, it won't work.

Lily covered her mouth and laughed. She used to think that Hollywood stars were shameless, but now she finds that it’s the same all over the world.

“I remember Sophie Marceau was always flashing.”

Lily said.

"She is more open-minded. After all, in France, her influence is far less than that of the two Isabelles. But I heard that Adjani has a very bad temper."

Huang Kevin said.

"Many actors are not very good in private. Hollywood is full of drug addicts. Totti's cultural level may be better than theirs. Chinese actors may be better in this respect."

Lily said with a smile.

"That's because China has to complete compulsory education, and the control over that stuff is quite strict, so it's not easy to get it, it's not because their quality is high."

While the two were talking, the car finally arrived.

As Lily and Kevin Huang got off the car, everyone became supporting roles.

McKenna, who was walking the red carpet with Dafoe, decisively dropped the Green Goblin and rushed to her parents.

"Kevin, look over here!"

"Kevin Kevin!"

"Kevin, you acted so well..."

When Kevin Huang walked the red carpet, the scene became several times noisier.

This is our home ground.

In the Apennines, Kevin Huang has a 100% positive review rate.

Such treatment made many celebrities look sideways.

Filippo Costi said with some envy: "It would be great if I were so popular."

He had just starred in Sorrentino's "Hand of God."

Luisa Ranieri said: "You have no chance even if you stand next to Kevin, but we still have a chance."

Because it was an Italian crew, they got along pretty well.

Sorrentino glanced at the leading actors and said nothing.

Kevin Huang obviously has no interest in actors, or rather, he has no interest in actors with messy private lives.

In the passionate Italian entertainment industry, there are very few people who can keep themselves clean.

"Let's go. The security guards won't be polite if you stand here any longer."

Sorrentino urged.

He knew very well who was the protagonist today.

As a native of Naples, he knows some things better than others.

After Kevin Wong changed the villain of the movie to an Albanian, even the Mafia became a fucking supporter of Kevin Wong's award.

Rather than participating in the selection process, they were more like guests attending the ceremony.

He didn't even hope for the Silver Lion Award. After all, film festivals like to share the cake. Kevin Wong's films won too many awards, which would be bad for other Italian films. The judges would not vote for them to avoid suspicion.

But he didn't dare say such words.

After entering the auditorium, Kevin Huang and Lily sat in the front row.

Galliani came over and said, “They want you to give the Lifetime Achievement Award.”

"no problem."

Huang Kevin nodded and said.

The Italians put a lot of effort into this time, opening the show with a somewhat ambiguous song and dance performance.

These artists seem to think that their art is more stylish if others can't understand it.

Kevin Huang has never been very interested in directors like "A Bun Leads to a Murder Case". He believes that movies that no one watches are rubbish.

If Huang Qiuwang makes a commercial film, won’t Venice have to kneel down?

Shit, originally he had an indifferent attitude towards Oscar.

But I think it’s more satisfying to slap someone in the face.

Anyway, the sponsors’ money hasn’t been spent on the filming of the movie, so they still have to contribute during the awards season.

Let's see if these capitalists can defeat political correctness.

"Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best Newcomer - Lily Collins!"

Lily covered her mouth in surprise.

Huang Kaiwen stood up, hugged her, patted her from behind and said, "Go up, this is just the beginning."

"Thank you, dear!"

Lily said excitedly.

Huang Kevin smiled and gently pushed her away.

Lily walked quickly to the stage and took the trophy.

Penelope Cruz rolled her eyes and turned to glare at Kevin Huang.

After all, they had swam together in the stands of the Bernabeu, but when she arrived in Venice she found out that the Best Actress award she wanted had already been chosen.

The Special Jury Prize went to Michelangelo Franmartino's The Hole.

The Best Screenplay Award went to Maggie Gyllenhaal's "Daughter of the Dark".

The famous Italian actor, Frank Nero, finally entered the highlight of the day. He took out a card from the envelope and announced without thinking: "Best Actor, Kevin!"

boom--

There was huge applause in the theater.

Kevin Huang stood up with a smile, hugged the director and others, and then walked onto the stage.

Frank Nile gave Kevin Huang a bear hug and said, "I've seen your movie several times, and you're amazing."

"Thank you."

After receiving the trophy, Kevin Huang walked to the podium, put down the trophy, adjusted the microphone, bent down slightly and said: "Thanks to the fans, the club, friends and girlfriends for their support. I never doubt myself. Standing here today means that I am the best. No matter what field I am in, I will continue to succeed. That's all."

After saying this, Huang Kevin raised the trophy again.

There was warm applause.

Kevin Wong's win for Best Actor was well-deserved.

When he walked off the stage, many unfamiliar actors greeted Kevin Huang.

When he returned to his seat, he already had a lot of small notes in his hand.

Lily joked, "Maybe we can organize two teams of 11 people today."

"You should prepare your acceptance speech first."

Huang Kevin complained.

Lily stuck out her tongue and quickly thought about her acceptance speech.

Monica Bellucci strode onto the stage and simply looked at Lily. She opened the envelope and announced directly: "Best Actress in a Leading Role, Seconds: The Beginning, Lily Collins."

Having won an award once, Lily was able to control her emotions much better. She kissed Kevin Huang and went straight to the stage.

Standing on the stage, Lily said: "I never thought that I would be able to stand here one day. I am grateful to Kevin, Barbara and other family members for their support."

After a brief speech, Lily came down.

As for the Best Director, he still failed to win. The winner went to Jane Campion, the director of "Dog Power".

"Secrets of the Storm" won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film.

At the theater entrance, Kevin Huang once again became the focus.

"Kevin, are you surprised by this award?"

“Did Lily Collins win an award for her acting because of your connections in Italy?”

"There's an American director named Zhao who criticized you for manipulating the selection process. Do you think she's right?"

“Will your film be entered into the Oscars next year?”

Huang Kaiwen said: "I will only answer once. Lily won the award because of the judges' selection. Her performance was excellent. As for the claim that I manipulated the selection, it is completely nonsense. I don't even know that person."

"Kevin, Kevin..."

The reporters wanted to continue to pester him, but Neo pushed them away roughly.

Galliani put down his phone and hurried over to say, "That director is the daughter of an actress in your country. Her information will be available later."

"Ah."

Huang Kevin nodded and said.

When he returned to the hotel, he saw the information.

The yellow ball king snatched the other party's prize.

But more importantly, Zhao Ting is a typical traitor.

Her father is Xgang, her mother is Song Dandan, and her family has relatives who are high-ranking officials. The family assets are over 100 billion yuan. She has been making all kinds of anti-national remarks since she went abroad.

Huang Kaiwen felt that even if she wasn't blocking the little beast's way, she would still scream just because of Huang Qiuwang's skin color.

It's really amazing that people who grew up in the capital look like ABCs. I can only say that the soil and water of the beacon country can really nourish people.

Now that he knew it, Huang Kevin was not going to let her off easily.

"Her films have received a lot of praise, and she originally wanted to win some awards in Europe before participating in the Oscars," Galliani said.

"Find a PR company in advance and spend money on it. I want it all."

Huang Kevin said.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy. I remember the Korean film spent a record-breaking $1500 million on PR and only won two awards."

Galliani said.

"Then we'll spend 150 million. Money is not a problem, and even winning the award is not a problem. I don't want to see that Zhao win the award. Is this possible?"

Huang Kevin asked.

"Probably. I'll find a better PR company. Although the academy has 6000 members, there are only so many key members with great influence."

"Well, tell them that Emirates Airlines will sponsor their family's trip to Italy, and there is a certain chance of winning the lottery when they visit Italy. This way the income is legal, right?"

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

Galliani gave a thumbs up.

If that's the case, there really isn't anyone in Hollywood who can fight back.

Compared to those small gifts during award season, Kevin Huang is just spending money directly.

What’s even more amazing is that it’s completely legal.

How many core members are there?
No matter how much you have, you can spend it all. As long as you travel to Italy, you can buy a lottery ticket and win the prize immediately. Other actors can't do this.

"No Man's Land," the real-life version of the film "A Family With a Daughter," is a strong favorite for Best Director and Best Picture, but Kevin Wong knows it has no hope.

It's not easy to make sure you win the award.

But it's so easy to think of bad things.

Sponsors are pushing the film to win awards, and the Yellow Ball King is spending money to hold the little beast back.

Huang Kaiwen really couldn't understand why someone who grew up enjoying such huge benefits would say such things, and there are quite a few people like him.

In March, Kevin Huang and Lily went to LA together.

Because they arrived a few days earlier, the two chose to move into the house that the eldest lady had bought earlier.

But he was soon captured by Lily's mother, Jill Taverman.

"Neither of you cook. Do you eat out every day?"

Jill Talverman asked.

"Nonsense, Kevin can cook, so can I!"

Lily argued.

Taverman immediately punched Lily on the head and said, "I saw in the newspaper that you were all photographed in the restaurant."

"That's because Kevin wanted to try American food."

Lily argued.

“Good night, good night!”

Under the pressure of Lily, Huang Kevin could only nod and accept it.

Taverman complained: "You are already a mother, can't you act like an adult?"

"What's wrong with me?"

Lily sat cross-legged on the sofa and asked, "I am a guest of honor of various brands, I am also familiar with the royal families of various countries, and I am the spokesperson for several big brands. Even those celebrities in the 2000 million club would envy me, right?"

Talverman: ...

It was hard for her to refute this.

The United States lacks cultural heritage and has no resistance to terms such as aristocracy and royal family.

There are countless Hollywood stars who have been deceived by the so-called European aristocrats.

Lily, a girl who grew up in the United States, immediately grasped the point.

Even though she didn't work hard, she's already living the life that a Hollywood star dreams of. What's even more infuriating is that she didn't pay any price in the process.

Taverman looked at Kevin Huang and could only say that a good choice is the real good one.

Compared with her daughter, she found that her life was nothing noteworthy.

"Then you should also control your diet before the award ceremony."

Taverman said, changing the subject.

Lily asked excitedly, "Can I win the Best Actress award?"

Jill Taverman almost couldn't help but take action, and said unhappily, "A lot of people are unhappy with your nomination. Unless those old fools in the academy are really stunned by Kevin's money, it's absolutely impossible."

Everyone knows that the most powerful PR show right now is "The Black Panther".

It is said that those people in the public relations company do not take money seriously at all and do not even look at the restaurant prices when treating others to a meal.

Even though the judges had seen many rich people, they had never seen anything like this.

With the support of sponsors like Red Bull, Pepsi, AXA, Adidas, Fiat, etc. behind Kevin Huang, news about "The Black Panther" can be seen in mainstream American media every day.

“Do we have a good chance of winning this time?”

Huang Kevin asked.

Jill Talverman nodded and said, "I asked a lot of people, and when they got the Academy's votes, they gave your movie the first pick."

"Best Actor or Best Picture? Is there a Best Director?"

Lily asked, craning her neck.

"Kevin spent so much money, does he only want one award?"

Taverman said unhappily: "Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this. The Oscars don't carry that much weight."

"It's okay, it's all paid for by the sponsors."

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

The sponsorship fees were too high, so there was a lot of money left over from the filming of the movie.

Jill Talverman was completely speechless about her daughter and her boyfriend.

It turns out that people are afraid of comparison.

Many Hollywood stars have to pay for public relations fees out of their own pockets, but Kevin Huang spent so much money and it turned out that all of it came from sponsors.

3 month 27 day.

Dolby Theater in Hollywood.

It's another Oscar season.

Although the ratings have been declining due to political correctness, it is still the most important awards ceremony in the world.

The crew of "Seconds Thief Agent" was placed in the middle position.

As the car moved steadily, Lily was still putting on makeup in front of the mirror.

"You've been on a diet for several days, eating only vegetables and dried fruits plus a little vitamins. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you'll fall down when you walk on the red carpet."

Huang Kevin complained.

"This is the menu given by the nutritionist. You have never seen anything more outrageous. Those Hollywood stars even skip meals and only take nutrient injections just to look better during the award ceremony."

Lily said with a smile.

"Forget it, health is the most important."

Huang Kevin said.

As soon as Kevin Huang and Lily appeared, they became the focus.

Lily, the second-generation star, rarely appears in the entertainment pages in her home country, but as the heroine of a $40 billion movie, she has become the pride of America.

Not to mention the Yellow Ball King.

If it weren't for the consideration of etiquette, some directors would have already pounced on him.

No one would reject an actor who can carry the box office on his own, let alone someone as outrageous as Kevin Huang.

Reporters shoot as if film is free.

There were also many people on both sides of the red carpet shouting Kevin Huang's name, which was somewhat beyond Kevin Huang's expectations.

The two entered the theater after a brief interview.

Kevin Huang immediately became the most popular person.

Those executives and directors of the film companies wanted to eat up Kevin Huang.

"Kevin, you can consider us for the new movie."

"Kevin, are you interested in playing a superhero? If you are interested, you can pick any one. I remember you are a fan of Marvel."

"Kevin, that director doesn't know how to act explosively. If we had worked together, the movie would have grossed over $50 billion long ago."

"I've prepared a party. Are you interested in attending? If you have any celebrities you like, please tell me and I'll invite them."

"..."

Lily pouted on the side.

These people didn't take her seriously at all.

Huang Kaiwen finally got away, and he immediately saw an ABC's face.

He had seen this face in the information Galliani gave him: the competitor for Best Picture and Best Director, Song Dandan's daughter Zhao Ting.

"Come on, let's go in."

Huang Kevin patted the back of Lily's hand and said.

It doesn’t matter whether you win the award today or not. What’s important is not to see Zhao Ting win the award.

The award ceremony began, hosted by Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and Regina Hall.

"Dog Power", which previously participated in the Venice Film Festival, received 12 nominations, the most nominated film.

"The Black Panther" received 6 nominations.

In addition to the Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Picture awards, there are also Best Visual Effects and Best Sound Effects.

It didn’t win the Best Visual Effects and Best Sound Effects awards before.

The Best Original Music award was given to Hans Zimmer from the "Dune" crew, who is also an ace composer and has won quite a few golden statuettes. He composed the music for many blockbusters such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Batman: The Dark Knight".

Of course, Lilly didn't win the Best Actress award, which went to Jessica Chastain for "The Eyes of Tammy Faye."

It's the Best Actor award.

Several candidates are given on the big screen.

Benedict Cumberbatch, "Dog Power"
Javier Bardem, The Ricardos
Kevin Wong, The Secret Service
Will Smith, King Richard
Denzel Washington in The Tragedy of Macbeth.

Lily grabbed Huang Kevin's hand and comforted him, "It's okay, we can talk about it later."

"That won't do." Huang Kaiwen said with a smile: "If you take my money and don't do the job, someone must pay the price."

As the two were talking, the guest on stage shouted, "Congratulations, Kevin!!!"

Huang Kevin was about to get up, but Lily was even more excited than him. She jumped up and hugged Huang Kevin tightly.

Kevin Huang patted the girl on the back to comfort her.

He won the award, and Lily started crying.

"Okay, okay, if I don't go up there now they won't let me give my acceptance speech."

Huang Kevin said.

Only then did Lily let go of Huang Kevin and wiped her eyes embarrassedly.

Kevin Huang walked onto the stage and took over the golden statue. Standing behind the podium, he said, "I really didn't think about this day before I started filming the movie, but I thought about it when I was filming. I have countless supporters and my family standing behind me, so I will never fail. I heard that many people regard me as a guarantee of success and carry my photos with them. I can only say that this is the right choice, because I will continue to succeed, no matter what field I am in!"

clap clap,
There was huge applause at the scene.

Kevin Huang’s speech was quite brilliant and full of confidence.

"Honey, you're amazing!"

Lily rushed over and said.

"I know, you're great too, for choosing me."

Huang Kevin said with a smile, pulling Lily to sit down together.

Waiting for the next award ceremony.

When it came to Best Director, I saw Zhao Ting's name again.

At this time, Kevin Huang was more nervous than his own award. When the guest shouted "Power of Dog", Kevin Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not Borderlands that wins.

On to the final award, Best Picture.

Many people in the crew became nervous.

There are as many as ten films selected, and "Belfast", "King Richard", "Dog Power" and "Listen Girl" are also strong competitors.

When award presenters Liza Minnelli and Lady Gaga appeared, everyone became nervous.

"Isn't she a singer? Why is she here to present the award?"

Kevin Huang asked in a low voice.

"I do not know either."

Lily said, shaking her head.

Zhao Ting clenched his fists so tightly that veins on his hands were exposed.

Best Picture was her last chance.

The two guests went up to chat for a few minutes before opening the envelope. Liza Minnelli was obviously surprised, and after a few seconds she announced: "The Best Picture is "The Black Panther". Congratulations..."
