All in all, Barbara was hardened this time.

But this... This woman is very clear in her heart that there is a high probability that "The Infernal Affairs" will be gone.

The results of it?

"Best Actor...Tom Hanks!"

"Best Director...Rupert Zemeckis"

Good guy!

This "Forrest Gump" is too powerful, it has won awards again and again!

The most frustrating thing is that "The Infernal Affairs" always runs with him.

Martin's old face is really not very good-looking.

How to do?

Barbara was flustered, but the Oscar right now should already be doomed.

Now, on to the last grand prize.

The last statuette, the best picture, who will get it?

In fact, among the shortlisted films this time, there are three very popular films.

"Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption", and a surprise, that is "Pulp Fiction".

That's right, this movie, Quentin's first big screen work, has already reached such a level.

Nominated for Best Picture!

You know, as long as you can be shortlisted, it is a kind of reward. Even if you can't get the statuette, it will be widely reported.

This is a convention in the film industry.

So, how could Quentin be unhappy?

"Mr. Iwata, do you think it's possible that the final prize is mine?"

Good guy, as expected of an American, that's how confident he is.

That's right, Americans are like that.

Jiang Wen is very clear in his heart, he has acted in that TV series, "Beijingers in New York".

It should be said that he acted very well in this play, and he grasped the feeling of being generous and new to a foreign land very well.

Moreover, this play also reflects many things.

The self-confidence of Americans is really honey self-confidence.

I don't know why, as far as people from this country, even a homeless man, he is very confident, as if he is not afraid of anything, he is the most powerful in the world.

That's true, it's strange.

Ever since, Takeshi Iwata didn't say anything, Jiang Wen couldn't bear it anymore.

"I said, are you going too far? You don't know what your situation is? You still want to win the award for the first time?"

In a word, Quentin laughed out loud.

"Why can't it be?"

this……

After all, Jiang Wen has experience, so he said directly, "Unless you meet God and make a wish with him."

This is basically saying, absolutely impossible.

However, Quentin looked at Takeshi Iwata with a smile on his face.

What do you mean?

Takeshi Iwata is my Quentin's God!

So, is there such a magic power?

"This time, it should be difficult."

Takeshi Iwata's words were already very euphemistic, and only a fool would not be able to hear them.

Quentin immediately wilted like a frosted eggplant.

It seems to be out of play.

But not too bad.

It's interesting to watch Jiang Wen here, because he seems to see something more.

"I said Brother Iwata, do you know who the last statuette will be?"

When Takeshi Iwata heard this, he was secretly startled, this Jiang Wen was really powerful.

Does he know?

He doesn't know exactly, but he probably does.

What does that mean?

It's the one that the Weinstein brothers did before, this one...

Should work!

However, it's really hard to say who it is!

What does that mean?

Soon, the final award of this year's Oscars will come out.

The award-presenting guests have been slowly getting everyone's mentality there.

In the end, he couldn't keep going.

"Best Picture! ... The Shawshank Redemption!"

Good guy, it turned out to be this film? !

The whole scene burst into thunderous applause.

Everyone seems to have no surprises, because this movie was also very hot before, and, in many previous awards, this movie lost to "Forrest Gump".

Now, it doesn't seem to be a surprise that the final grand prize goes to this film.

but!

Takeshi Iwata was surprised!

Yes, he knew what the Weinstein brothers had done.

That is to say, the film is already in operation, through the Weinstein brothers.

But, can it be successful?

In the competition for the statuette this time, in the original history, "Forrest Gump" was a complete victory.

Basically all the big prizes are in the bag.

Only one best screenplay was given to Quentin.

But now it's different, it's changed!

Takeshi Iwata knows that many movie fans actually have a grudge in their hearts.

That is, "The Shawshank Redemption" finally lost to "Forrest Gump".

Many people say that this movie is the uncrowned king.

And now, this is equivalent to changing history!

And this change...

Of course, in fact, Takeshi Iwata has already obtained the exclusive rights to distribute video products of "The Shawshank Redemption".

That is to say, on Netflix in the future, this movie can only be found on Netflix.

This thing... This is a natural operation, how simple it is.

Whether or not the Weinstein brothers are successful, there is nothing wrong with Takeshi Iwata's business, is there?

If you succeed now, you will definitely make a lot of money!

However, will this result have any bad consequences?

Takeshi Iwata was worried, but this Oscar ended today.

……

It seems, sometimes it is, that the feared situation always occurs and even worsens.

"The Oscars are controversial!"

"The Shawshank Redemption doesn't deserve the final prize?"

"Someone disputes the best picture award!"

Sure enough, after the Oscars, there was such a voice.

In fact, this is the case. If "Forrest Gump" does not win the final award, then there will definitely be fans who complain about this movie.

Absolutely.

The reverse is also true.

Moreover, Takeshi Iwata has long seen the situation in reverse.

But what happened this time?

In terms of public opinion, the media, which are more face-saving, should exercise restraint.

But some tabloids rely on eyeballs to survive, and they are very straightforward.

To be blunt, the Oscars are tricky this time!

Even, simply by name.

"The Weinstein brothers manipulated the results of this Oscar!"

"We have solid evidence, and what the informant said is convincing!"

"It's the Weinstein Brothers!"

The spearhead was pointed at this pair of brothers.

So, how did the two of them react?

"Ah, this matter..."

"what happened?"

"We actually already know who said it."

"Who?"

"That's Barbara!"

"what?"

To be honest, when Takeshi Iwata heard the news, he was also a little surprised.

However, it is not uncommon for a woman like Barbara to do such a thing.

After all, this woman is relatively strong, and she is not a person who can suffer.

The key now is how to deal with it.

Takeshi Iwata was even more surprised this time.

"We've figured it out."

"What is the method?"

"Admit it! Admit it generously! Let's just say it right away, but we didn't cheat, right? Conscience of heaven and earth, we are innocent, just doing some publicity, right?"

This... Takeshi Iwata understood in an instant.

Yes, of course the two brothers have to admit it, because isn't their admission the best publicity.
