Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 514 Oscar's Approval
But Warner president Mike was displeased, as the current results were exactly what he had been dreaming of.

This should have been his all along!
His regretful expression made even his assistant, Tina, unable to suppress a smile.

After all, it was he who insisted on selling it in the first place.

Now that he's regretting it, he'll only make himself a laughing stock.

Mike urgently contacted Zhou Yang, intending to bring DC back under his control.

The call connected quickly, and Mike immediately said, "Zhou, your 'Joker' is absolutely brilliant! I'm so proud of you!"

Zhou Yang replied modestly, "Thank you, Mike."

"No more beating around the bush! I'll offer seven billion dollars to redeem DC! I'll send someone to deliver the cash immediately!" Mike proposed urgently, filled with regret.

Zhou Yang smiled and retorted, "DC's value has increased many times over now, do you still want to go back? That's impossible."

“Oh, Mike! DC and Marvel are equally important to me! They are both my life’s work! I can’t bear to let go!” Zhou Yang sincerely expressed his distress.

Mike didn't believe him, thinking Zhou Yang was just making excuses to decline.

He gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Even so, I'll offer ten billion dollars!"

Zhou Yang laughed, feeling that DC was of far greater significance to him than just the money in front of him.

“Sorry, Mike! This isn’t something money can solve.” Zhou Yang’s stance was firm.

Mike knew he couldn't change Zhou Yang's mind, so he could only sigh and say, "Alright, Zhou, I understand your decision! But I still congratulate you on your success!"

After thanking Mike, Zhou Yang hung up the phone and prepared to rest.

"At that moment, Zhou Yang received a call from the Academy Awards committee."

"'President, what brings you to call me?' Zhou Yang asked with a smile."

"Zhou! Congratulations! You've been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for your role in 'Joker'! And the Joker received thirteen nominations!"

“‘A Best Actor nomination?’ Zhou Yang was very surprised. He did not expect that his outstanding performance as the clown would once again put him in the highest echelons of the world film industry.”

"'With your performance, I believe you will eventually win an award.' The president is clearly a big fan of Zhou Yang, and he always speaks highly of him."

“‘Being nominated is already a great honor,’ Zhou Yang said modestly.”

"You have a chance to make Oscar history!"

Hearing such high praise, Zhou Yang was in a good mood.

"Afterwards, the chairman and Zhou Yang agreed on a time to travel to the United States, and then hung up the phone."

“This is not Zhou Yang’s first time winning an Oscar, so he is still very familiar with the process.”

"A moment later, Zhou Yang posted a screenshot of the Oscar nomination notification on Weibo, along with a message."

"#Actor Zhou Yang: Thank you everyone for your support of 'Joker'! Receiving an Oscar nomination is the greatest recognition of my work! #Image#"

"Fans who once predicted that Zhou Yang would win the Oscar for Best Actor are extremely excited."

"'Brother Yang is amazing! My prediction was right!'"

"Brother Yang, your clown performance was fantastic! You're sure to win an award!"

"'The Joker was absolutely stunning! He truly deserved it!'"

"'That's amazing! Absolutely fantastic! Could this be the third person in Oscar history to win consecutive awards!?'"

"'Brother Yang, I'm looking forward to you winning Best Actor! And then making Oscar history! That's fantastic! The Joker was absolutely brilliant!'" "..."

Fans were ecstatic because the Chinese actor was nominated for an Oscar again, which proved his outstanding acting skills. If he wins the award, it will surely become a symbol of his strength.

This is truly a three-peat at the Oscars!
As a leading figure in the Chinese film and television industry, receiving another Oscar nomination undoubtedly brings glory to the Chinese people!
However, most of Zhou Yang's fans remained calm, knowing that winning two consecutive Oscars was no easy feat, and even Leonardo DiCaprio had been a runner-up for twenty years.

Furthermore, with Leonardo DiCaprio still in the team, some fans, out of sympathy, do not have high expectations for the award.

Zhou Yang's third nomination is already a major breakthrough for Chinese actors on the Oscar stage.

The next day, Zhou Yang set off for the United States, embarking on his journey to America.

Throughout the flight, Zhou Yang wore sunglasses and a mask, which prevented him from being identified.

If it weren't for the current global popularity of "Joker," it might have caused a disturbance during the flight. This is no exaggeration; safety comes first!

Upon arriving at his destination, Zhou Yang immediately saw Nolan waving to him.

Nolan always personally greets the winners of awards, and despite the fact that DC has changed hands, his attitude towards director Nolan remains unchanged.

Zhou Yang was delighted to see them and went up to give them a warm hug.

"It's been a long time! Director Nolan!"

"Zhou, I didn't expect you to take over DC! Do you need me to do your bidding?" Nolan's expression was exaggerated, clearly aiming for a renewed collaboration.

"Of course you're welcome!" Zhou Yang replied happily.

"Great! Looking forward to the next collaboration!" Nolan patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder enthusiastically!

The two left the airport happily with the staff.

Half an hour later, we finally arrived at our accommodation.

Nolan had lunch with Zhou Yang and praised the Chinese food highly. After the meal, Zhou Yang adjusted his biological clock and went to rest.

The next morning, Nolan accompanied Zhou Yang to choose a suit and cosmetics, and Zhou Yang was dazzled by the wide variety of choices.

Zhou Yang has a unique taste and carefully selected a white tuxedo suit.

After putting it on, he seemed to transform into a prince on a white horse, noble and handsome, showing the demeanor of an oriental gentleman.

Nolan, upon seeing Zhou Yang's attire, was once again captivated by his Eastern charm and exclaimed, "Zhou, you're so handsome! Even I, a man, can't help but be amazed! Are all you Easterners so attractive?"

Zhou Yang replied with a smile, "Oh, Nolan, my handsomeness is unparalleled!"

Nolan nodded in agreement: "That's right! You are the most handsome Eastern gentleman I have ever seen!"

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Haha, thank you for the compliment!"

Next, Zhou Yang and the crew arrived at the waiting area to wait...

The incident has caused a huge stir online, with many people eagerly anticipating the upcoming Oscars.

"#EntertainmentHeadline: Zhou Yang, Chairman of DC and star of 'Joker,' is nominated again for the Academy Award for Best Actor! The suspense will be revealed soon! This may be a glorious moment for Chinese film and television!"
