Chapter 733 - Chapter 724 The Beginning of a Legend

"Tsk."

When hearing Donnie mention the winner, Kiritsugu spat without disguising his anger.

But that's all.

Kiritsugu now will not faint directly because of Nanaya's victory like he did a few years ago.

Of course, there are still some minor annoyances.

Otherwise he wouldn't have behaved so childishly.

But Illya didn't care about that, she just clapped and cheered.

"Yeah! Oni-chan got it!!"

"Wow!"

Almost at the same time, Nanaya in the Kodak Theater also clapped his hands.

Shion, who was beside Nanaya, also stood up and congratulated Kyon.

Soon, everyone in the "Madoka Magica" crew expressed their congratulations to Gen Urobuchi.

Gen himself was also very excited. Although he did not cry like a child, he still seemed a little at a loss.

Feeling that you can win an award and actually winning the award are two completely different concepts.

As the first Asian screenwriter to win an Oscar for Best Screenplay, Gen Urobuchi's heart is filled with emotion.

Suddenly, he seemed to have returned to the afternoon tea moment when he and Nanaya decided to create "Madoka Magica".

"Thank you, thank you."

Gen Urobuchi hugged each member of the crew one by one, and finally walked to Nanaya's side.

"They shouldn't mind, right?"

Old Gen deliberately glanced at Shion beside him and said jokingly.

"No, you are welcome."

Perhaps because she was in a good mood after receiving the award, Shion also started joking.

"So let's just hug each other."

Nanaya opened his arms and gave Gen Urobuchi a deep hug.

"Thank you, Nanaya." Gen Urobuchi said loudly, "It is my greatest luck to be able to cooperate with you."

"You are my idol. Being able to work with you is what makes me want to do it."

"Ha ha!"

Gen Urobuchi laughed twice, and it was obvious that he didn't really believe what Nanaya said.

Although Genki likes to be able to share his happy mood with his friends all the time.

But we can't just leave everyone else hanging there.

So after laughing, Gen Urobuchi strode towards the stage.

At this time, "Magia" was played for the first time tonight at the Kodak Theater.

Old Gen took the little golden man from Donnie's hand.

Although they are both good friends of Nanaya, they are not very familiar with each other.

Donnie just briefly congratulated Old Gen.

Holding the Oscar statuette in his hand, Gen Urobuchi stood in front of the microphone.

"Thank you, thank you everyone. I love creation and I enjoy the creative process. I hope the love in my story can infect everyone and let everyone understand the charm of this greatest human emotion."

After expressing his feelings, Gen Urobuchi began to thank the people around him.

"I have many people to thank. My father, because of him I was able to embark on the path of creation."

"To all my colleagues, I am where I am today because of them."

Having said this, Old Gen paused, glanced at Nanaya who was sitting in the audience, and then continued.

"I especially want to thank Nanaya. Before taking over the work of Madoka Magica, I was stuck in a creative bottleneck. It was Nanaya who gave me the motivation to create and guided my creative thinking. Without him, there would be no Madoka Magica today!"

"Hello..."

The corner of Nanaya's mouth twitched slightly. He felt that after Old Gen said this, the blades he received would pile up again.

[Don't always talk about me, talk more about yourself! Otherwise, how can I find a way to pass the blame to you! ]

Nanaya discovered with some sadness that he might become the target of Gen Urobuchi's blame.

Although the title of [Warrior of Love] has now been given to Kyon by fans, his nickname [Kiryu Old Thief] is becoming more and more famous!

Fortunately, "Madoka Magica" at least tells a complete story, and fewer people call it by the nickname [Nanaya Half Chapters] recently.

However, I guess once FGO is launched, this title will become popular again.

"Nanayo fulfilled her promise to me, and Madoka Magica has truly become a work that has touched people's hearts. I can only describe my feelings now as incredible."

After saying this, Gen Urobuchi bowed to everyone present, thus ending his acceptance speech.

Below the stage, the crew, led by Nanaya, applauded Gen Urobuchi.

"We won!"

While the crew members had to control their emotions for the live broadcast, the internet was in an uproar.

Although everyone usually calls Kiryu Nanaya an old thief, everyone is still very happy to be able to win the trophy.

Especially the several circles formed by Nanaya's die-hard supporters, they were so happy as if they had won a jackpot of 5 million US dollars.

[A good start!]

[We will continue to win awards!]

[Madoka Magica will sweep this year's Oscars!]

Well begun is often half done.

This statement is indeed correct.

The miracle created by "Madoka Magica" is indeed continuing in the Kodak Theater.

Except for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, which had nothing to do with "Madoka Magica", which was taken away by "Love Like a Baby".

The soundtrack of "Magia" sounded several times in the Kodak Theater, and cheers broke out continuously from the Madoka crew.

There is no doubt that they are the protagonists of tonight.

The crew of "Madoka Magica" won four golden awards, including Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Effects.

The award ceremony was only a third of the way through at this point, but "Madoka Magica" had already easily won five golden statues.

The only pity is that "Madoka Magica" did not win the Best Makeup Award, otherwise it would have been the record holder for both the nomination and the award.

However, this award was not given to "Avatar", but to "Star Trek".

Perhaps in the minds of academic old men, CGI technology is not considered makeup at all.

"We are getting closer and closer to our goal."

Ryan leaned over and whispered in Nanaya's ear.

As Nanaya's "girlfriend", she certainly knows what Nanaya's ambitions are at this year's Oscars.

Although the hope is slim, what is the difference between a person without a dream and a salted fish?

Nanaya smiled at Ryan and said, "There are still eight prizes left. I hope I can win them all."

Among the fourteen nominations, they have won five Oscars, which is the best result for Nanaya and Washimine Entertainment at the Oscars.

As for whether they can sweep the Oscars next time, no one can say for sure.

The purpose of the Oscars party is naturally to present awards, but there will still be many performances besides the awards ceremony.

These programs are naturally all related to movies. Basically, they are either paying tribute to classic movies or commemorating filmmakers who have made outstanding contributions in the past.

It's no wonder that young people have become less and less interested in the Oscars recently. After all, the Oscars are really too nostalgic.

But this year is different, because of "Madoka Magica" and "Avatar", countless young people are paying attention to the Oscars for their favorite movies.

As the live TV channel of the Oscars, ABC has been monitoring the ratings of this year's Oscars ceremony.

As Demi Moore took the stage to honor outstanding filmmakers who had passed away in the past year, an ABC TV executive monitored the ratings.

"Viewership has dropped again..."

The person in charge shook his head and said that every time a nostalgic program was broadcast, the ratings would drop significantly.

It can be seen that today's audiences really don't like those nostalgic programs that old guys are proud of.

Fortunately, the person in charge also knows that when the next awards ceremony begins, the ratings of the show will rise again.

This situation has happened countless times in the past few dozen minutes.

Not to mention that the next award to be presented is the Best Supporting Actress award that everyone has been paying attention to.

Regarding this situation, the person in charge didn't know what to say.

Obviously, the people at the college are not stupid either.

They knew that the audience didn't like this type of show, so they specially arranged to use the Best Supporting Actress award to save the situation.

But since we know that this kind of nostalgic program is unpopular, wouldn't it be better to just delete it?

It's like the Oscars keep nominating commercial films to boost popularity, but they also want others to follow their own preferences, so they don't give them awards.

The person in charge really wanted to say something about the college's stubborn and conservative attitude.

Why bother? There's no point in deceiving yourself.

Unfortunately, this person in charge is just a TV station staff member and has no say in how the Oscar Awards Ceremony is conducted.

"H-hmm, the next one should be the Best Supporting Actress Award, right?"

In front of the computer screen, Little Wasabi, who was feeling sleepy again because of missing the project, asked while yawning.

Qin Jue nodded vigorously: "Yes, I hope Miss Sakutsuki Yumi can win the award."

"Of course, Director Kiryu was able to film that little girl so beautifully, how could he not win an award."

As Xiao Jie Mo spoke, a longing look appeared on his face.

[I wonder how beautiful I will be when I am captured by director Nanaya Kiryu? ]

"I think it's difficult to win the award."

Kaede Shiori from Japan expresses his views to his friends.

"Indeed." Asuna nodded in agreement, "Yumi is too young, which will be an obstacle."

"But Washimine Entertainment's public relations should be able to play a significant role."

Although Kazuto is not a die-hard fan of Type-Moon and Nanaya Kiryu, he still knows a lot about Hollywood movies.

He is well aware of how important public relations is to the outcome of an award these days.

Especially when the other candidates are not very strong.

But Yumi's age of only in her early twenties is a problem that cannot be ignored.

Not to mention this is her first time acting in a Hollywood movie.

Yumi's status as a newcomer in terms of age and experience makes the possibility of winning the award particularly disparate.

According to past practice, the Best Supporting Actress award should be presented by the winner of the previous year's Best Supporting Actor award.

But if Heath Ledger, the winner of the 81st Best Supporting Actor Award, really came to present the award, everyone would probably be scared to death.

Although the Best Supporting Actor winner from last year was unable to attend, the Academy still prepared a very influential presenter for the Best Supporting Actress award - Robin Williams.

When the "captain" walked onto the stage, Nanaya let out a soft sigh.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that this comedy superstar would suddenly bid farewell to the world by suicide four years later.

Robin Williams' speech for the award ceremony was very simple. After mumbling a few words, he took out the envelope for Best Supporting Actress.

At this moment, Yumi clenched her hands.

"Big brother, can I get the prize?"

Yumi asked Nanaya nervously.

But before Nanaya could answer, Robin Williams read out the answer.

"Yumi Sakutsuki, Madoka Magica."
