"Is it true or false?"

Although he received the good news from Dave immediately, Gu Miao still doubted whether he heard it wrong.

Outside odds of 1:32!

This is comparable to the fantasy scene where the national football team won the Hercules Cup and Kun Kun uprooted a weeping willow tree. Did it really happen?

In order to verify the accuracy of the news, he also went online to find the replay video of this year's Academy Awards ceremony.

Then, he was confused.

This thing turned out to be true. When the award guest, the well-known Hollywood comedian Kevin, read out the name of the award-winning work "Puss Gets the Boot" on the stage, he saw Dave Smith with a "calm" expression on his face.

Go on stage.

"Thanks!"

"Thank you to the academy, thank you to my team, and thank you to my boss! Let me think about it, how many times has this been my first time coming to the Dolby Theater?"

The audience burst into laughter.

For Dave, the "nail house" of the Oscar, seven times... Oh no! Now he is an old acquaintance who has won eight times, and the Hollywood stars are still very familiar with him.

Dave's acceptance speech was very funny. In front of everyone, he made fun of his boss, Gu Miao, who was away in Jiangchuan to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

"When I told Boss that we might win an award! He told me that I would not do such stupid things as sitting in the audience and watching others win awards! Then..."

The guests in the audience all smiled. Dave lowered his head and kissed the trophy, then smiled and said: "I think my Boss should be hiding in the toilet right now and crying wildly."

"This is a wonderful night, and the same goes for my Boss..."

I cry for you uncle!

After watching the video playback, Gu Miao's first feeling was confusion, and the second feeling was anger. She wanted to pick up a knife and chop Dave into pieces.

His mouth is really mean!

If you don’t know how to say an acceptance speech, then just thank CTV and MTV and that’s it. Then you can tear him out and whip him to death when you have nothing to do. How about that?

this is not good!

Angry and angry, Gu Miao decisively dialed Dave's phone and asked him for details, regardless of the fact that it was late at night in North America.

How come you won the award?

This was something he couldn't figure out. After all, before this, no one thought that the first episode of "Tom and Jerry" would win, and Wanbao didn't even prepare a promotional copy after "winning".

But Dave told him.

"Tom and Jerry" won the award for two main reasons.

The first reason is that this year is a "small Oscar year" and the works nominated this time are generally not very competitive. This award can be awarded to anyone.

The second reason is Dave's reputation. As an Oscar-winner and a life member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, many people know him.

"Why?"

"There is no reason..."

Dave told Gu Miao that during the voting, everyone looked familiar to his name, so they gave him the vote.

That's it, very simple.

"I mean, no one is running it? Isn't it common for shady things to happen?" Gu Miao wondered.

"This is a small year for the Oscars, and with "Birdman" outdoing the rest, the major awards have been booked early, so naturally no one pays attention to the remaining minor awards."

simply put.

All the big prizes have been reserved, so there is no point in running it. As for spending money to run some small prizes that have no influence or topicality, it is even more meaningless.

Of course, this does not mean it is absolutely fair.

It's just that in previous years, it was a "cake sharing" model, and the academy would divide the cake in sequence based on the status of major awards.

For example, A and B are competing for the grand prize. They are also trying to build relationships and engage in shady activities. As a result, A loses. Then the college has to win a few "insignificant" small prizes to comfort the frustrated A.

As a result, this year's cake was reserved, and no one grabbed it, and there was no one who was disappointed. The remaining small prizes were naturally given to whoever liked it.

After figuring out the logical relationship.

Gu Miao could immediately understand why Dave won the award simply by being "familiar".

Of course, this may also be related to the lack of presence and competitiveness in "Best Animated Short Film".

But then again.

Regardless of how it won the award, the results are here anyway. The animation "Tom and Jerry" produced by Wanbao won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.

This is a great thing!

It must be vigorously promoted, and it is best to use the traffic generated by this Oscar to bring "Tom and Jerry" into people's eyes.

"The second episode will be aired soon."

Dave said that in order to capitalize on the Oscar buzz, he and his team will do their best to complete the production of the second episode in the near future.

"Then let's do this..."

Gu Miao thought of a great idea and explained with a smile: "I think we can add an Oscar statuette to the opening of Tom and Jerry. What do you think?"

"Oh! That's great!"

Dave agreed: "Showing our trophies in the opening credits? I agree, that's a great idea."

The trophy in the title is Gu Miao's inspiration from the original "Tom and Jerry".

Think back to the beginning.

When he was watching the "Tom and Jerry" cartoon, he suddenly discovered that an Oscar statuette appeared in the title of several episodes.

At that time, he was very curious, what did the little golden man at the beginning of the film mean? He didn't find out until he looked it up...

Oh! So "Tom and Jerry" is so good that it has won so many Oscars for Best Animated Short Film?

Gu Miao has already thought about it.

The Wanbao version of "Tom and Jerry" does the same thing, showing off the trophy in the opening credits, not only to show off, but also to show off to others.

Put a trophy first.

If "Tom and Jerry" wins a second statuette, then add one to the title of the film. Anyway, if it wins once, add one.

What will happen in the end?

If "Tom and Jerry" can finally win six or seven statuettes, they will be displayed directly in a row at the beginning of the film for the audience to see.

Hold the grass!

The effect was simply amazing.

Which animation company has the confidence to show you a whole row of Oscar trophies at the beginning of the film? Six or seven statuettes are staring at you. Who dares to be unconvinced?

"It's hard..."

The Boss's random thoughts left Dave very speechless. He said that it would be great to win an Oscar.

Still want to get six or seven?

Do you think this is a wholesale business?

"If you don't try, how do you know it's not possible? When you won your first Oscar, did you ever think that you would win eight times?" Gu Miao asked.

"No!"

"That's great! Since you can win eight Oscars, why can't Tom and Jerry?"

Gu Miao felt that Dave was too crazy.

He has won seven statuettes by himself, and counting this time, he is the eighth. However, he said that it is difficult for "Tom and Jerry" to win multiple awards?

Waterfa?

How difficult is it? How difficult is it to have him win seven Oscars? He must have said this in Versailles, right?
