While several people were talking, awards for adapted scripts began to be presented on the stage.

Zhang Dongcheng also put away his cynical smile and sat upright with a calm smile on his face. The reason why he wants to do this is because the camera will scan his position later, and he can't give people a frivolous impression.

"Wow! This time there are six nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay!" Billy exclaimed on stage. The commentator said: "So who are they? Let me watch the big screen!"

On the big screen, wonderful shots from six movies appeared one after another. Every shot is the best part of the movie, including the mummy shot by Zhang Dongcheng.

What appeared on the big screen was the scene of Imerton casting a spell to kill O'Connor and others. It was very short, less than ten seconds.

"I believe everyone knows that the six movies this time are those six!" After the picture on the big screen ended, Billy said: "But even if everyone knows that it is those six movies, I still want to do it again." Repeat, because this is my job!"

The funny words caused a burst of laughter, and Billy said: "They are "The English Patient" Anthony Minghella; "Trainspotting" Evan Welsh; "Switch Knife" Billy Bob Thornton; Arthur Miller, "The Age of Passion"; Kenneth Branagh, "Hamlet" and Smith Chang, "The Mummy"! Congratulations to the six, five of you will soon be hating the lucky one! "

Billy's words caused everyone to laugh again. At the same time, the camera began to scan the faces of the six candidates one by one.

Among the six candidates. Only Zhang Dongcheng is Chinese. His yellow skin and black eyes make him very eye-catching among them. And among these candidates, Zhang Dongcheng is the youngest one.

"Now we have Miss Jodie Foster to announce who the final winner is!" Billy stretched his right hand towards the backstage.

Jodie Foster walked up in a low-cut evening dress. After a few paragraphs in front of Mike. Soon, the staff delivered an envelope to her.

While opening Belief, Jodie Foster brushed the broken hair hanging from her ears, and said: "Oh! I think they must be waiting very anxiously now, especially our lovely Chinese boy, Smith. After all, It is his first time to participate in the Oscar, I wish this award belongs to him! Otherwise, it would really blow his enthusiasm!"

The camera landed on Zhang Dongcheng again, feeling all this, Zhang Dongcheng picked up the glass of champagne in front of him, and raised it to the camera.

At the same time, his actions were simultaneously broadcast on the big screen, especially when the camera gave him a close-up of his face, the indifferent and gentle smile on his face was perfectly in front of everyone.

Many seniors in the film industry have developed a good impression of his good attitude. Can't help clapping and applauding.

Adaman clenched his fists nervously, his eyes fixed on Jodie Foster on the stage.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. If he widened his eyes even more, would the eyeballs fly to the stage?

"Adaman relax! Don't be so nervous!" After feeling the camera leave, Zhang Dongcheng patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Oh! No no! Smith, I'm not nervous! Really! You can tell by looking at other people. Especially Jason, he is really nervous!" Stiff and slightly twitched, but still refused to admit that the funds were tight.

Zhang Dongcheng looked amused, and couldn't help but focus on Jason and the others. After taking a look, Zhang Dongcheng finally understood, sure enough! Adaman was right, the one who was really nervous was Jason.

He's nominated for Best Supporting Actor tonight. He is a newcomer to the film industry. It's understandable to be nervous.

The only ones who are relatively calm are Burton and Zhang Dongcheng. Zhang Dongcheng was not too nervous because he knew that the mummy had little chance of winning the award. Although Burton is nominated, he has experienced too many times! I don't really care about the nomination.

"I announce that the winner of the 69th Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay is..." Jodie Foster looked at the audience below.

At this time, the camera also very cooperatively scanned the faces of the six candidates one by one. The six people were either nervous, excited, or plain, and presented on the big screen one by one. Among these people, perhaps the most attention-grabbing is Zhang Dongcheng, the youngest and rare Chinese on the Oscars.

"Our Chinese boy, Smith Zhang! Everyone applauds and encourages!" Jodie Foster finally stopped entertaining everyone, and called out Zhang Dongcheng's name.

The Mummy does not have much advantage in itself among these six movies. Not to mention the original award winner Switchblade, even compared with the other films, there are many places that are not as good. It was completely beyond Zhang Dongcheng's expectation that it could get this reward. So much so that after hearing Jodie Foster calling out his name, Zhang Dongcheng didn't stand up for the first time, but froze in place.

"Hey! Smith! What the **** are you standing there for? Go up and get your statuette! Wow! This is an Oscar! Get it back and let me see what the statuette looks like! Go up there !" Adaman pushed Zhang Dongcheng, and couldn't wait to start urging him.

Under Adaman's urging, Zhang Dongcheng tidied up his clothes, held his head high, and strode towards the stage with big strides.

At this moment, the stage belongs to him, and he is the focus of the entire Oscar. Of course, that may be an exaggeration. But at this moment, Zhang Dongcheng did enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention.

However, when one person heard that the winner was Zhang Dongcheng, even his facial features were distorted. He was holding the goblet tightly in his hand, shaking constantly, so that the fragrant champagne spilled out.

This is the one who specially provoked Zhang Dongcheng before the Oscar opening ceremony, and he is also his old enemy Ander!

Ender clenched his teeth, thinking furiously, ****! This honor should have belonged to me! Smith, you **** yellow monkey! I will not let you go!

Because of jealousy, Ander's heart has been completely twisted. He never thought that the award now is for the script, not the director!

Jodie Foster held a statuette in her hand, and smiled as she watched Zhang Dongcheng walk over. Handing the statuette to Zhang Dongcheng with both hands, he said, "Congratulations, Mr. Smith!"

"Thank you!" Zhang Dongcheng took the statuette from Judy's hand with a smile on his face, and after hugging him, he raised the statuette in his hand high and shook it to the audience.

It can be said that there are very few Chinese-Americans who have won statuettes at the Oscars. Before Zhang Dongcheng, there were only three Chinese who could win the Oscar statuette.

The earliest Huang Zongzhan won the best photography twice. And the one who won the Best Supporting Actor was a Cambodian doctor named Wu Han. The luck of this guy was really against the heavens. The Chinese American who got the supporting actor.

But his luck may have run out because of this award. On February 25 last year, he was found dead in the carport outside his Los Angeles apartment. When Zhang Dongcheng first arrived in the United States, he also read this report, and at that time he felt that the heavens were jealous of talents.

The last one is Su Cong in "The Last Emperor". In 1988, won the Academy Award for Best Original Music. He is also the first Oscar winner of Chinese nationality in history.

If Zhang Dongcheng hadn’t appeared, the next Chinese-American Oscar winner would be the 2000-year-old Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. And now, this honor will belong to Zhang Dongcheng.

"I'm very happy, I can get this award!" Zhang Dongcheng began to give his acceptance speech in fluent English with a British flavor.

He did not choose Chinese as his mother tongue. Naturally, this is not because of any foreign-worshiping reasons, but Zhang Dongcheng knows very well that even if you speak Chinese, few of these people can understand it.

People will not think that you love your motherland so much. On the contrary, they will think that you are grandstanding. If you want to win the respect of these Americans, you must show real strength. Otherwise, just relying on meager self-esteem, not only will you not get the respect you deserve, but it will make people repel you.

Before Jodie Foster uttered his name, Zhang Dongcheng never thought that he would win the award at all, and he has always held the mentality of soy sauce below. Now if he suddenly asked him to say something about the award-winning infection, Zhang Dongcheng had to make up a paragraph temporarily.

"Speaking of which, I should be the fourth Chinese to receive this award, right? But this number is not auspicious in my country! I think it's better to give me two later. Come out six!"

Zhang Dongcheng's words caused everyone to laugh in good faith. Some people think that this young Chinese boy seems very humorous.

"Everyone, don't laugh! I'm not joking. I really think the college should give me two. Even if two are not enough, one is fine!" Zhang Dongcheng made a serious look, but made everyone laugh more and more happy.

After the laughter gradually died down, Zhang Dongcheng finally became serious and said, "I am really surprised to get this award! I was completely stunned when Ms. Zhu Di called out my name just now! I was like, God! Am I dreaming? If it’s not a dream, why am I hearing Miss Judy saying my name? Is it because I want to win the award so much that I am hallucinating? "
