Chapter 1122 One Thought of Hell, 10 Nominations!

For traffic and popularity, on the day the project was launched, Alibaba Pictures invested a lot of money to promote and build momentum for this project.

In just under a few hours, looking around, the headlines of major entertainment news websites on the Internet have been flooded with news about this project.

"My Motherland and Me" aims to show the unremitting efforts made by the Communist Party of China to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through the unique charm of film art, and the hard work of all Chinese people to realize the "Chinese Dream" since its founding. The mission spirit.”

"In order to make this movie well, Alibaba Pictures specially invited seven famous domestic directors to participate in the creation. They will each select major events or key nodes in the history of New China and create seven with different narrative styles and unique perspectives. Independent and interrelated story unit.”

"At present, the film has formed a professional team, with the top domestic director Chen Kaige being responsible for coordinating, conducting in-depth research on historical materials, interviewing relevant characters, and striving to create a real, touching and contemporary script on the basis of respecting historical facts.

At the same time, the casting work of the film is also in full swing. The production team will adhere to the attitude of striving for excellence, select the actors who are most suitable for the role, and ensure the artistic quality of the film..."

In addition to being busy, Chen Fei also took the time to learn about this new project of Alibaba Pictures.

He was not surprised that Fan Luyuan chose the route of "main theme".

You know, last year's "Wolf Warrior 2" won nearly 6 billion box office.

Let me ask, which film and television company in the circle can be jealous after watching this score?

As an Internet+ film and television company, Alibaba Pictures naturally pursues whatever theme is high in traffic. This is also common sense.

In Chen Fei's memory, the box office of this movie seems to be quite high.

That's it, he vaguely remembers that many people in this movie seemed to say they were very "tired" when they watched it!

Several stories appear together, which means that the narrative rhythm will definitely be very complicated, and then there are also rich historical details and the amount of information composed of character clues pouring in...

"It's weird if you're not tired!"

Chen Fei shook his head and muttered to himself.

Anyway, he is not interested in doing this kind of platter project, which sounds very troublesome.

At the same time, in addition to the news about the project "My Motherland and Me", Chen Fei also saw a lot of film and television and entertainment information ranked second and third on the hot search list.

For example, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" officially started filming, "A Good Show" was announced to be released on August 10, "Black Panther" was scheduled to be released in China on March 9, and "The Worm of the Insects" directed and acted by Xiao Shen Yang. Jiang" finished filming...

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Chen Fei raised his eyebrows and his eyes fixed on a relatively low-level hot search news.

Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing, the "mortal enemy", actually got into trouble again!

After the variety show "The Birth of an Actor", Zhang Ziyi, as a judge, has been controversial, and netizens have always had doubts about what she said about "fairness".

Now "No Questions" starring her and Huang Xiaoming is released. The role of "Wang Minjia" in the film has shown a very good performance level, which undoubtedly brought her, who was originally "remainingly healthy", back a lot of blood.

It’s a pity that the competition in the entertainment industry is very cruel!

Seeing that Zhang Ziyi was showing signs of emerging in the film industry again, Fan Bingbing couldn't sit still. After all, they were "competitive products".

So the latter made a quick decision, bought a lot of press releases, and began to "torture" the former.

Of course, the International Chapter would not wait to be beaten. Seeing that the "mortal enemies" were coming to the door, they immediately launched a counterattack.

The two of them fought back and forth, which directly led to the unscathing of "Win the World" starring Fan Bayi!

Zhang Ziyi didn't know where to find two Qin Dynasty history enthusiasts and directly reported "Win the World", accusing the drama of distorting history and making up random things, including replacing pre-Qin Chinese clothing with Japanese kimonos and in the background of the poster. The photos of the Japanese Tenshou Pavilion in Zhongfang replaced the Qin building complex, and the poster gave the crown symbolizing power to the heroine, etc., etc.

When the 7,000-word report letter was published, he directly gave "Win the World" a "remaining" blood.

Even though the film crew immediately launched an action and changed the title of the drama to "The Legend of Ba Qing" with the heroine as the selling point, it still could not escape the revocation.

So, Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi, who had originally been disliked, were "extremely jealous when they met" this time!

Looking around, the "bayonet" fight between the two sides has already seen a lot of money, and it is just a state of never ending.

It is not yet clear what will happen in the future, but judging from the known situation, the "war situation" is so tragic.

However, what is interesting is that the two front-line big flowers started fighting and actually scratched Li and Ma.

PG Wang wrote a song called "Christmas Eve". Once it was released, two women related to him, one automatically substituted for "cos" and the other automatically substituted for "Christmas Little Elk".

Then, since Ma also played Fan Ba ​​Hongxiang, the "sister" of Fan Baqing in "The Legend of Baqing", he naturally suffered an indiscriminate attack from Zhang Ziyi...

After the map cannon was opened, the three of them took the lead in gameove, and the launch time of "The Legend of Ba Qing" was delayed again by the above, even in the future!

Seeing this, Chen Fei couldn't help but be amazed and called it "wonderful"!

Now the methods of post-95 young girls are too young. Look at the methods of other people's top-notch flowers, that's awesome!

While facing each other, they even fucked two second-tier top actresses born in the 1980s.

Looking at this combat power, it’s like a little knife pulling his butt - it makes the traffic girls look at it!

"Dingling..."

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Chen Fei's behavior of eating melons.

He looked at the name on the caller ID and pressed the switch button.

"Hey? Kevin? Is there anything wrong?"

The voice of Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige came from the other end of the phone: "Fei, "Venom: The Deadly Guardian" is preparing to hold a final press conference tomorrow. Are you going to attend?"

"Venom" has been completed?

Chen Fei was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted.

This movie started filming in September, and it has been nearly 4 months since then, and it is indeed almost time to finish the filming.

"Wait a minute, I'll look at the schedule."

After looking through the itinerary on the table, Chen Fei shrugged and said helplessly: "Sorry, Kevin, I have a promotional event about "Black Panther" tomorrow morning to be done."

"Okay, then I'll notify you when the launch conference is held."

"Yeah, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei turned his gaze and his eyes fell on the box office data of several movies released in January.

To his surprise, in addition to "I Am Not a God of Medicine" and "The No. 1 Player", the most box office movie "Ex-The-Official 3" produced by Huayi!

It was really surprising that the box office hit 1.5 billion in 17 days after its release!

In addition, as January approaches late, many films that will be released in February have already sounded the horn of the sprint.

Nearly 10 movies including "Wu Shuang", "Hong Kong Empress", "Monster Hunt 2" can be said to be the one you finished singing and I made the stage, and the publicity effect was very full.

Of course, when it comes to the hottest one, it is undoubtedly the "Wushuang"!

Under Chen Fei's instruction, the film and film company joined hands with the Douyin platform to hold a very "unique" live broadcast.

Yes: Make fake money!

Of course, it is definitely not possible to copy the RMB, but copying the US is not yet a clear legal provision in China. (ps: The premise is not to be used)

With the efforts of professionals invited by the film company, US dollar bills were drawn.

What are acid-free paper, color-changing ink, etc., which are the same.

When Liu Shishi finally held the US dollar bill in his hand with a nervous look on his face, put it into the banknote detector, and confirmed that it had indeed passed the inspection, everyone on the scene and those who were following the live broadcast were all confused!

Although the live broadcast was quickly cut off, the live broadcast was reprinted by countless netizens and marketing accounts.

For a time, "Wushuang" soared!

Now many experts in the film and television industry have expressed very confidently that the box office champion of this year's Spring Festival must belong to "Wu Shuang", and no one can take it away when they come.

Other filmmakers, including those participating in the competition during the same period, also had similar ideas.

After all, after that live broadcast, the popularity, topic, discussion, etc. of this movie have soared to the extreme!

That's just rubbing US dollars with your hands! Who can't shout if you step on the horse and watch it?

Affected by this, the box office of this movie will definitely not be bad.

However, if someone is happy, someone will be worried.

Looking at the popularity of "Monster Hunt 2", which was overwhelmed by "Wushuang", Jiang Zhili was so dissatisfied.

After all, this movie is too important to Anle Pictures and must not be missed!

So, another very bold idea came to his mind.

If you want a movie to have a high box office, but the quality of the movie is ordinary and the promotional and marketing effects are not particularly good, so what should you do?

"steal!"

Once this idea appears, it will be a hell of thought!

However, what Jiang Zhili didn't know was that everything he did now was staring at him!

...

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is late January.

At 8 pm on the 23rd, just as many people in the circle were watching the "Kung Fu League" that Liu Zhenwei had just announced the completion of the film, the latest news from Hollywood suddenly came to the hot search list!

The list of film nominations for the 90th Academy Awards has been announced.

Although there are still no Chinese-language films nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Award this year, there is "Manchester by the Sea" directed by Chen Fei.

Everyone is quite curious about what achievements will he achieve after nearly half a year of fighting in Hollywood?

In the villa in the capital, Shu Chang was holding his cell phone and was counting carefully and seriously, for fear of making mistakes or missing a key award.

"Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Photography, Best Editing, Best Art Director... Wow! There are 10 nominations in total! That's awesome!"

Listening to the exclamation of his good friend, Liu Yifei subconsciously turned her head: "Where are 10?"

"Yes!" Shu Chang counted again, then came over excitedly and shouted to the other side of the mobile phone video: "Chen Fei, come on! Come back with a few more trophys."

"Don't worry, it's very stable."

Although there is more than a month left before the award ceremony, Chen Fei is already sure to win.

After all, Oscar competitions are usually not carried out on the court, but off the court.

If you want to win the award, the best way is not to "fight against bayonets" with those competitors, but to find ways to attack and make trouble...

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

As for the quality of the movie, it is the least worth mentioning in the awards.

After all, if you are qualified to participate in the Oscar competition, which movie will be bad?

"Then when will you come back? After the nomination list is announced, it's more than a month before the award ceremony officially begins."

Liu Yifei has already started to miss her husband, after all, they have been apart for nearly half a month.

Without Chen Fei accompanying her, her sleep quality has begun to deteriorate recently.

"I almost went home the afternoon after tomorrow."

Chen Fei gave a very accurate time.

Tell her in advance the time to go back, and this girl will definitely be happy for a long time, which is much better than surprise her suddenly.

"Okay! Then be careful and be safe on the way, I'll wait for you at home."

"Yeah, go back and sleep with your arms..."

The two of them started to get tired of each other again. Shu Chang ate a mouthful of dog food off guard, and then quickly jumped out like a spring.

"Very! It's so nauseous!"

She made a vomit-like face at Liu Yifei, and then... she looked at the screen of her phone again.

Looking around, the hot search list on Weibo is already full of press releases about "Manchester by the Sea" nominations for the Academy Awards.

In the comment section below, many people are discussing:

"I have to say that Director Chen is really awesome, with 10 nominations. I don't know what the movie is like. How awesome is it?"

"If you win another award, wouldn't it be possible to break the Oscars' record? Five Oscars' highest awards! Unprecedented results!"

"I feel that this time it may be in lingering. At the Venice International Film Festival, the Story of Water won the Golden Lion Award. Can "Manchester by the Sea" compete with this movie?"

"I agree with the brothers upstairs. "The Story of Water" is so awesome, and LGBTQAPKXREW is all occupied. This is a bit exaggerated."

"And "Dunkirk", this movie is quite threatening."

"I feel you don't need to be so nervous. Director Chen has never seen any big storms? So what about LGBT? So what about "Dunkirk"? Are they a six? God blocks the gods! Buddha blocks the gods and kills the Buddhas!"

...

Accompanied by the heated discussions on the Internet, many major directors in the circle cast envious eyes and murmurs.

At Zhang Yimou's studio, Lao Mouzi just got the job at hand and received a WeChat message from his daughter Zhang Mo.

"Manchester by the Sea"? Academy Awards? 10 nominations?"

He murmured to himself, his eyes full of envy.

It’s a pity that he may not have a chance with Oscar in his entire life.

After the failure of "The Great Wall", those film and television companies abroad that have been in contact with him have not shown their faces in front of him in the past year.

Although this gave him more free time, it also proved that he was no longer favored by foreign capital...

"well."

With a long sigh, he stood up and stretched his body, and then continued to devote himself to the post-production of "Shadow".

According to his plan, the later stages of the movie must be completed next month, and then he will go to study his new project.

As for the subsequent work of schedule, release, and promotion, let it be thrown to Zhang Zhao for trouble.

Anyway, after May, his contract with LeTV officially expired, and the latter is not qualified to care about what he is going to do.

On the other hand, Brother Chen Kai also paid attention to the news that was sent back from Hollywood.

But, he just took a look and moved his eyes away, focusing on the fact that he would not be able to see the truth, and he would not be envious if he didn't see it...

What's more, he doesn't have any extra time to pay attention to the outside world now.

"My Motherland and Me" has determined the tone of several unit stories, namely: the founding of New China, the successful explosion of the first atomic bomb, the women's volleyball team winning the championship, the return of Xiangjiang, the capital Olympics, and the successful return capsule of the Shenzhou 11 spacecraft Many landmark historical moments such as landing and military parade commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

It's not easy to blend all of this into one movie!

The director, the chief director, has not even returned home in the past few days, and has eaten, drink, defecate, and slept with the project team. The main feature is "a 66-year-old rejuvenation in his career!"

However, compared to his current state, Feng Xiaogang on the other side is a little too "restless".

"I remember that if it weren't for the "Search" by Chen Kai, I would have taken "1942" to sprint for the Best Foreign Language Film of the Oscars. Maybe I could have won a trophy back..."

Listening to his nagging complaints, in the huge conference room, a group of Huayi executives looked at me and I looked at you, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

Feng Xiaogang is obviously bragging, but because the box office of "Youth" exceeded 1 billion, he seems to have some arrogant capital again.

Therefore, everyone can only pretend that he has not heard of his bragging behavior.

After a while, Wang Zhonglei interrupted and said, "Okay, Xiaogang, the theme of our meeting today is "Cell Phone 2", so there is no need to say more about other topics."

"oh."

Feng Xiaogang responded, but didn't say much, and quickly returned to his condition and entered the discussion on the launch of the project in "Mobile Phone 2".

More than an hour later, the discussion on the details of investment shares, producers, and issuers has already had the articles of association.

Wang Zhonglei closed the notebook in front of him, waved his hand and announced: "If nothing unexpected happens, the script will be officially announced in about a week; everyone, we are going to prepare to set sail again, do you have confidence?"

"have!"

"have!"

"have!"

For a moment, there were waves of responses in the conference room.

Everyone was smiling, as if they had seen the box office of "Cell Phone 2" after it was released, like "Youth" and "Ex-3", it was a time when it successfully exceeded 1 billion or even 2 billion yuan!

...
