Chapter 303: Counterattack? The King Returns! A Great Victory! The Light of Hope for Chinese Animation! The Power of a Double-Edged Sword!

"Fei, I think I have to introduce him to you."

Natasha gnashed her teeth with hatred as she stared at a foreigner from Disney. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, she would have rushed up and beaten him up on the spot!

"Oh?"

Fai Chen followed her line of sight and saw a white foreigner about 27 or 28 years old chatting with Brad Bird, the director of Ratatouille.

"His name is Larrenz Tate, and he is my college classmate. He majored in production and directing. It was he who suggested that I start a film and television production company, but he left quietly because he couldn't produce high-quality film and television works."

Natasha was very indignant. This feeling of being abandoned by her partners made her very uncomfortable.

And she had provided all the funds for the company. That shameless guy not only didn't pay a penny, but also left quietly in the end, leaving such a mess to her!

"It's just a shameless person!"

Whenever Natasha thought of the name "Larenz Tate", she always gnashed her teeth.

But her family upbringing and personal cultivation always alerted her. She was a daughter of aristocracy, not the kind of woman who would throw a tantrum on the street. She couldn't yell at people she hated like other girls.

Seeing Natasha's angry look, Chen Fei knew that she had been cheated.

When the two first met, Volkswagen Pictures was on the verge of bankruptcy. If it weren't for him turning the tide with a low-cost movie, I'm afraid the company wouldn't last long.

Resentment is also justified. This kind of partner who left halfway and left a lot of trouble is really annoying!

"Do you want to fight back?" Chen Fei asked softly.

"Yes!" Natasha nodded without hesitation, her eyes full of expectation: "Fei? How to do it? I want to let him know that after leaving him, I am living a better life than before!"

"I'll teach you, you will say this later..."

The two were whispering in the audience, and the host on the stage was announcing the official start of the award ceremony!

Like other awards, the order of the Annie Awards is also from the small awards to the final grand prize.

The first one is the Best Original Score.

The award presenter is a very professional composer in the field of animated films.

Pulling out the card from the envelope, he announced directly: "The winner of the 35th Annie Award for Best Original Score is - "Wall-E"!"

Everyone in the venue looked at Chen Fei. The soundtrack of Wall-E is indeed the best, there is no doubt about that.

A dubbing artist from the post-production department of Walt Disney Pictures walked up to the podium with joy on his face.

It was also after this "good start" that the big awards came one after another!

Best Storyboard (Storyboard), Best Production Design, Best Character Design, Best Character Animation, Best Screenplay...

Five consecutive awards were all won by "Wall-E"!

Offstage, the CEOs of the animation departments of Disney, Pixar, 20th Century Fox Animation, Blue Sky Animation, Illumination Entertainment, Sony Animation, Warner Animation and DreamWorks Animation were all forcing smiles.

There is no doubt that this year's Annie Awards have completely become the exclusive property of "Wall-E"!

But they have no complaints in their hearts, because Wall-E is really too powerful, and the global total box office data of 635 million can be said to be far ahead.

Looking at the animation film market in 2007, there is no one who can beat "Wall-E".

Among them, Disney is the worst.

If Wall-E did not come out, "Ratatouille" would definitely be able to crush other animation films in terms of box office and praise rate!

But, things are unpredictable!

"The winner of the 35th Annie Award for Best Director is - "Wall-E", FeiChen!"

Listening to the shouts echoing in his ears, Chen Fei, who had just received the Best Screenwriter Award, had to stand up again and walked to the podium.

"Thank you to the organizers, thank you to all the judges..."

This wave is really super.

In addition to the Best Visual Effects Award and Best Art Direction Award given to "Ratatouille" and "Surf's Up" respectively, all other awards were won by Chen Fei.

At this point in the awards ceremony, only the last award, Best Animated Feature Film, remains.

According to relevant records, since the Annie Awards organizers introduced the "Best Animated Feature Film Award", the coincidence with the Oscar for Best Animated Film has been as high as 83.3%!

This also means that if Wall-E can win this award, it can be said that there is almost an 83% chance that he can win the Oscar!

As Chen Fei stepped down with the Best Director Award in his hand, another presenter came on stage from the backstage.

Opening the envelope and pulling out the card inside, a loud voice echoed in everyone's ears: "The winner of the 35th Annie Awards for Best Animated Feature Film is - "Robot Wall-E", let us congratulate FeiChen and Wall-Ton Pictures."

A pair of eyes fell on Chen Fei again, and envy was beyond words.

However, just when everyone thought that Chen Fei was going to stand up and accept the award, he sat in his seat motionless.

Beside him, Natasha, wearing a red evening dress, stood up, like a proud swan, and walked up to the podium confidently.

Many people in the audience applauded.

Everyone was amazed at this nearly 26-year-old female president who already held Wall Street and Marvel Studios.

John Lasseter, CEO of Pixar Animation Studios, subconsciously exclaimed: "Oh! She is so young. Such beauty and achievements are really hard to make people not fall deeply in love with her."

Seeing Natasha shining on the stage, Larrenz Tate's expression was a little complicated.

When he resolutely chose to leave, he had already determined that Wall Street would be completely wiped out in the hustle and bustle and become one of the many bankrupt film and television companies.

But he never expected that Natasha would stage a "return of the king" today!

See you today. She is bright and beautiful on the stage, but I am like a clown off the stage...

"I am honored to receive this award today. Our entire company's one-year efforts have not been in vain. We have successfully promoted the first animated film to the world.

I need to thank Fei for today's achievements. It is your arrival that has made Volton Pictures shine again, and it has also made the betrayal of a shameless villain particularly ridiculous.

I hope that in the years to come, Volton Pictures will continue to soar, and the betrayer will encounter injustice, taste the taste of betrayal, feel lonely, and lose all good luck.

And I will look down on you, laugh at you, and quietly watch you lose everything in your wandering life!"

This speech stunned many people at the scene.

Everyone is not stupid. From Natasha's words, they can all hear that someone at the scene has betrayed Volton Pictures and failed her trust.

So who is this person?

John Lasseter looked around curiously, but he didn't notice that Larenz Tate beside him was blushing and ashamed at this time.

This wave of close-range attacks was like slapping him in the face one after another, it was so painful!

Holding the trophy, Natasha walked down the podium very proudly and sat next to Chen Fei.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

"Oh! This is so cool! He didn't even dare to look me in the eye!"

"Haha, I'll let you come next time if there's a chance."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

...

The Annie Awards ceremony ended smoothly, and the media quickly wrote the headlines and posted them online.

[Thirteen nominations! Nine awards! The preview of the Oscars has been completed in advance! ]

The foreign Internet was boiling, and fans congratulated one after another.

After the news was passed back to China, it triggered the enthusiastic support of a group of animation fans.

"Director Chen is awesome!"

"What the hell? 13 nominations? Winning 9 awards? That's quite impressive!"

"Look at his transformation, it's fucking awesome, he became a god with just one movie."

"Art, business, animation, what on earth is there that Director Chen can't do?"

"Save Chinese animation!"

"Stop shouting, brother upstairs, Director Chen has already started saving Chinese animation, it's been spread on the Internet for a long time, Director Chen's latest animated film is called "Kung Fu Panda", everyone can look forward to it."

"Really?"

"Go to the Internet and take a look, won't you know? Is this true?"

"The light of hope for Chinese animation is about to appear?"

…

After the Annie Awards comes the Oscars, but there is a full half month difference between the two, so Chen Fei still has a lot of free time.

Invitations from the mainland are constantly sent to his mailbox.

"Resurrection of the Dragon" starring Liu Dehua is scheduled for April 3, the new film "Beginning of Spring" directed by Gu Changwei is scheduled for April 10, and "Anaconda" starring Jing Tian is scheduled for April 8!

"The Forbidden Kingdom" was originally scheduled for the May 1st schedule, but because the May Day holiday was cut to three days, it was returned to April 24th.

In other words, there will be five movies released in the mainland in April!

Chen Fei suddenly became curious. Why did this group of people fight with the April schedule?

Aren't May and June worthy of them?

Later, he found out that "The Besieged City", which took a year to make, was scheduled for the May Day schedule, and "Painted Skin" is expected to be completed at the end of this month and will be released in the summer vacation.

"Well, it turns out that you are all avoiding me?"

Chen Fei suddenly realized and rubbed his nose a little embarrassedly.

I woke up from my dying dream, and I was the strong man...

This group of people was obviously scared by Chen Fei's title of "script midas touch". They would rather gather together than compete for the May Day and summer schedules.

Speaking of which, the popularity of the "May Day schedule" was actually first hyped by Chen Fei.

Previous films such as Buried Alive, Crazy Stone, and Crazy Racing were all released on May Day, and without exception, they all won great success!

This time, "The Besieged City" is coming again, and everyone is a little nervous.

…

Perhaps the establishment of Feiyinghuang Agency made Wang Jinghua feel pressured. Suddenly, there was a new revelation on the Internet, saying that she had submitted her resignation to Chengtian and was ready to work alone.

Zhu Yawen confirmed the news in the QQ group.

"Although I don't know where the reporter got the news from, it is true. We have to move again."

Chen Fei silently typed a line of words and clicked send: "A real man is born in the world, how can he be depressed and live under others for a long time?"

Luo Jin suddenly realized, "Hey? If I leave this time, I will really become a slave of three surnames!"

Liu Yifei's melon-eating skills have always been among the best among several people, and her reputation as a "surfing expert" is not deserved.

"Have you heard? The Hong Kong actor surnamed Chen just held a press conference yesterday and said that he would permanently retire from the entertainment industry."

"Real or false?" Shu Chang jumped out quickly and asked: "I heard that he was hiding from the limelight in the United States. Why did he suddenly come back? Isn't he afraid of being beaten by those actresses? He even took secret photos."

Chen Fei silently closed QQ.

This thing is that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Whether it is a photo or a subsequent Uniqlo video, in fact, both men and women are willing to do it.

But who told him not to keep it well? It's his fault if it spreads.

Chen Fei is very vigilant. He never takes photos of himself or leaves any videos.

He's not a prodigy, and he doesn't make money from this, so what else can he use for it?

…

The mainland is very lively, and Hollywood is certainly no different.

"The Golden Compass" directly lost all the money New Line Cinema has earned over the years!

Recently, Time Warner announced that New Line Cinema will be completely merged into Warner Bros., directly ending New Line's 40-year film career.

From then on, the movies produced by New Line will bear the Warner Bros. logo, and New Line has become a film company that only produces but does not distribute movies.

"It's a pity. "Rush Hour" and "Lord of the Rings" are both very good series, but they really made one wrong move and fell directly into the abyss!"

Opposite the desk, Wen Ziren, who was reading the script of "Insidious 2", shrugged and responded nonchalantly:

"This situation is actually normal in Hollywood. According to statistics, no less than three film and television production companies are established in Hollywood every day, and correspondingly, the number of bankruptcies is only a lot more."

Chen Fei suddenly thought of the movie "Wind Talker" and directly beat Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to death.

Wu Yu is also unlucky enough.

After watching Wen Ziren read the script, Chen Fei brought the topic back to normal: "How do you feel?"

"Awesome! I can't wait to get back that feeling of making fear."

"Haha, then increase your power and get ready to set sail!"

So far, the title of "Father of Horror Films" still belongs to Chen Fei, and he is not ready to give this title to others for the time being.

The 58th Berlin International Film Festival officially ended on the 18th.

The Brazilian film "The Force" pulled off a major upset, winning the Golden Bear for Best Film, while the Silver Bear, the Grand Jury Prize, went to "Standard Procedure."

"Left and Right" directed by Wang Xiaoshuai lived up to expectations and brought double happiness!

After winning the "Special Attention" award based on audience opinions, the film also won the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay for its wonderful script. It followed "Tuya's Marriage" which won the Golden Bear Award at the last Berlin Film Festival. Later, it once again won glory for domestic films.

The mainland media has started a new round of reports, and the literary and art circles are as lively as the Chinese New Year!

Wang Xiaoshuai took advantage of the situation and announced the release date of the film, which is set to be April 1st, which is April Fool's Day, and will be officially released in the mainland.

Suddenly, 5 domestic movies have been scheduled for April!

The media are all speculating, who will be the final winner?

The most popular one is "The King of Kung Fu".

On the eve of the Oscars, Chen Fei took the time to visit Longxiang Capital.

Walking through Wall Street, he could clearly feel the depression on the street. Pedestrians were no longer cheerful. Everyone lowered their heads and walked in a hurry.

Bruce, who came with him, was full of amazement: "Fei, you really guessed it right, the house price has dropped by one-third!"

Chen Fei smiled slightly, his eyes full of enthusiasm!

It feels great to make money from the United States and go back to build the motherland!

Arriving at the company, Chen Fei had just sat down on the sofa when Leon Walras came to him holding a pile of documents.

"Boss, just the day before yesterday, the Federal Reserve prompted JP Morgan Chase Bank to acquire the Bear Stearns investment bank. The credit default swap has now tripled in value. The rescue plan has been delayed, and the market has become restless again..."

Chen Fei was already very familiar with these professional terms.

Credit default swaps refer to the CDS purchased by oneself!

He listened to Leon's story without interrupting, and it was not until more than ten minutes later that he gave an instruction: "Leon, you did a good job, and you should pay close attention to the market trends next.

Because in less than three months, the CDS in our hands will increase to about six or seven times. At this time, you can sell it, but you have to pay attention to it. You must put it in a small amount at the beginning, so as not to attract the attention of any party. .

When you reach nine times the profit, you will ship a large number of goods. At this time, don’t worry about anything and ship quickly!

At the same time, you have to focus on the two companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. As soon as news comes out that an official department has taken over these two companies, we should not keep any remaining contracts in our hands and sell them all. over! "

Leon Walras was dumbfounded and murmured: "WTF! Official takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? How is this possible?"

Fai Chen smiled slightly, recalling the movie clips in his mind, and said lightly: "After Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are taken over, the fourth largest investment bank Lehman Brothers Holdings will file for bankruptcy protection in a week at most, and by then, CDS will become waste paper!"

Leon Walras' eyes suddenly widened, "Why?"

"Because everything collapsed, by this fall, the once glorious Wall Street investment bank will draw an imperfect period, and in the future it will be a historical term, only existing in people's memory."

Leon Walras subconsciously stepped back a few steps, leaning on the table, his face full of horror, both hands trembling slightly.

"How is it possible? How is this possible! Why did this happen?"

Although these words were only spoken by Fei Chen, and the reality has not really happened, Leon has already believed it.

Because in these few months, the market trend is completely in accordance with Fei Chen's previous prediction!

But if it is true as he said, in the end, the entire United States and even Europe will be in a mess?

"If you do something wrong, you will definitely pay the price."

Chen Fei meant something.

Financial derivatives are a double-edged sword. While harming others, they will also harm yourself in the end!
