Chapter 304 Oscar! Here I Come! (Asking for Monthly Votes)

After Leon recovered from the shock, Chen Fei explained every time point of the financial crisis again, and then turned around and left the company.

After Wen Ziren got the script of "Insidious 2", he immediately started preparations and casting.

Chen Fei still had to work on "Kung Fu Panda". The Olympics will be here in a few months, and he must make the finished film of this animated film before then.

The animation and special effects studios are still recruiting people during this period, and new high-tech talents will join every day, which also provides a high guarantee for the shooting progress.

…

On February 24, the 80th Academy Awards was held at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles, USA, hosted by Jon Stewart and broadcast live by the American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

The domestic movie channel still broadcast it as usual. Due to the advancement of technology, the signal delay between the two sides has been compressed to within one minute.

For the mainland audience, this Oscar is still worth paying attention to. After all, Chen Fei's "Mulan" will appear at this awards ceremony!

Before the show started, the staff of the backstage of the Six Princesses had already discovered that the ratings were rising rapidly!

After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", many Chinese-language films were nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, but none of them won the award.

Now, "Mulan" has once again launched a charge for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and this matter is already known to everyone in China.

Many people are curious whether this movie, which has so far received a box office of 600 million yuan, can win the favor of the Oscar?

In the auditorium of Beijing Film Academy, almost all the students gathered here, waiting to watch the broadcast of the Oscar Awards Ceremony.

Several students in the acting department who were very lucky to sign with "Feiyinghuang Agency" were surrounded by many people tonight!

"Qingzi? Does your company have any inside information? Can Director Chen win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film this time?"

The voice from her ear attracted Kan Qingzi's attention. She turned her head and looked back, only to see Zheng Shuang, a celebrity in the 2007 acting department, looking at her curiously.

"I don't know much either. We just signed the contract and haven't officially entered the company yet, so some inside information hasn't reached me."

"Okay."

Zheng Shuang shrugged, with a hint of sarcasm on her face.

She actually looked down on Kan Qingzi. Seeing that Feiyinghuang's agency was relatively large, she eagerly approached it. Did she really think she could become famous in a short time?

She was just thinking too much.

Big companies are all one person per job. What good resources can you, a new actor, get?

Unlike herself, through her family's relationship, she has contacted Mango Tianyu and will co-star in a youth idol drama with Zhang Han, Yu Haoming, Wei Chen, Zhu Zixiao and others.

"Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together"

After this TV series is broadcast, she will be able to shine in the film and television industry!

And she is very sure that she will definitely be able to catch up with her classmate Jing Tian's achievements in the future!

At the same time, Jing Tian, ​​who was unknowingly targeted, was waiting for the Oscars to begin in her villa.

Her new movie will be released in a month, and she has sent an invitation to Chen Fei before.

Fortunately, Chen Fei has promised her that he will attend if he has time!

If Chen Fei can win the award this time, she seems to have guessed how the media will report it.

[Chen Fei, the winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, specially returned to Beijing to attend the premiere of "Anaconda" and publicly praised the heroine Jing Tian for her superb acting skills...]

"Hehe."

Jing Tian couldn't help laughing foolishly while fantasizing silently by herself.

However, the next second, when she saw Chen Fei taking Liu Yifei, Jiao Enjun, Wu Jing, Chen Daoming and others to walk on the red carpet together, the smile on her face froze instantly.

If she didn't want to promote the new movie, she would definitely follow Chen Fei to attend the Oscars instead of staying alone in the villa to watch the broadcast.

"Huh, how is she better than me?"

Seeing Liu Yifei wearing an evening gown and waving to the media and fans on both sides of the red carpet with a bright smile, Jing Tian couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

The same emotion still permeated Yang Mi's heart.

Watching the broadcast with other actors in the New Dream of Red Mansions crew in the hotel, she was also feeling a strong sense of jealousy.

"Her figure is not as good as mine. This evening dress will definitely look better on me."

Yang Mi secretly complained in her heart, and the scene of herself walking on the red carpet with Chen Fei had already emerged in her mind.

She has decided that she will leave Rong Xinda after the filming of this drama, and then try to see if she can go to Feiyinghuang Agency first.

The principle of "the one who is close to the water gets the moon first" is fully demonstrated in Liu Yifei!

She also wants to try it!

Although the Screenwriters Guild strike has been experienced, the Oscars tonight are still very lively, and the stars are still shining.

Although Liu Yifei is not the first time to come to the Kodak Theater, I don't know why, this time she is extremely excited!

"Mom, are you nervous?"

"Silly girl, what's there to be nervous about?" Liu Xiaoli acted quite calmly, after all, she has also seen big scenes.

"If we win the award, will you let me go on stage to speak?"

"It shouldn't be possible. Although "Mulan" was shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film, if it really wins, the winner will definitely be Chen Fei, and there's no need for you to go up."

"That's right..."

Liu Yifei suddenly felt less nervous.

The award ceremony was still from back to front, with less important awards being announced first.

Best Original Song, Best Original Score, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Effects, Best Makeup, Best Costume Design, Best Art Direction…

One after another, the well-known behind-the-scenes staff in Hollywood walked up to the podium, holding trophies in their hands and smiling brightly.

When the nominees for Best Visual Effects were announced, Chen Fei was a little excited.

In addition to being nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, "Mulan" was also nominated for the Best Visual Effects Award.

The two major scenes of the cavalry charge of ten thousand people and the ten-mile red makeup shocked all the judges and at the same time, their eyes lit up unconsciously.

Unfortunately, this award was ultimately taken away by "The Golden Compass."

Wu Jing's voice suddenly sounded in Chen Fei's ears: "Director Chen, when do you think we can add such an item to our domestic film awards?"

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, with complicated eyes, "Maybe we have to wait until the moment when Chinese-language movies really prosper!"

You know, even if it is as powerful as Hollywood, there are only three movies that can receive this nomination. This shows the scarcity of special effects industry blockbusters.

Even the top eight companies in Hollywood don’t dare to start big-investment movies casually.

"The Golden Compass" is a lesson learned from the past.

With a budget of US$180 million, it only earned US$370 million in global box office, and only US$70 million in North America.

Even the cost was not recovered, and New Line Cinema was even compensated!

It can be seen that the risks of making this type of A-type film are very high even in Hollywood!

Once the box office shows a weak state, the ending of MGM Pictures and New Line Cinema is likely to repeat!

The awards continue…

Best Editing was won by "The Bourne Supremacy", Best Cinematography was won by "There Will Be Blood", Best Adapted Screenplay was won by "No Country for Old Men", and Best Original Screenplay was won by "Juno".

After the Best Animated Short Film came out, Chen Fei became nervous unconsciously.

The award for Best Animated Feature Film, which he has longed for, is coming soon. Although this award has almost been confirmed by him, everything is still unknown until it is officially announced.

Seeing the producer of "Peter and the Wolf" walking up to the podium and taking away the award for Best Animated Short Film, Chen Fei couldn't help but start praying.

"I hope I can gain something..."

Naturally, the goddess of luck would not abandon him. After all, before coming, Chen Fei crushed the soaked lucky orange peel and kneaded it into the flour, and ate a meal of dumplings.

When the award presenter pulled out the card from the envelope and read out the five words "WALL-E", the audience suddenly burst into warm cheers!

In the front row, Han Sanping, who had flown here specially from China, suddenly turned her head and saw that Chen Fei had stood up from the auditorium.

After adjusting his suit, he walked onto the podium with confident steps.

"Hey, should I go? Did the boss get the award?"

In the Nortel Auditorium, Zhang Ruoyu looked in disbelief.

He thought he could wait until the Best Foreign Language Film Awards were presented, but unexpectedly, the Best Animated Feature Film Award came in advance!

At this time, Tan Songyun, who was sitting next to him and signed a contract with Feiyinghuang Agency with him, also looked shocked.

"Director Chen is so awesome. This is his first animated film after his transformation, right? Will he win an Oscar?"

"Sure enough, excellent people are excellent no matter what they do."

The two were discussing in whispers, and at the Oscar ceremony, Chen Fei had already received the golden Oscar trophy.

Facing the shocked, confused, or questioning eyes of the audience, he chuckled and said: "First of all, I would like to thank my colleagues who worked with me day and night to shoot.

If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have received this award!

Then I would also like to thank my boss Natasha, who gave me unconditional support and allowed me to produce such a high-quality film.

I believe that in the future, we will never give up and work together to create more high-quality works. "

Over at Disney, Larenz Tate's face suddenly darkened.

At the previous Annie Awards ceremony, Natasha had already teased him a lot, but now, Fade Chen started to do the same thing again.

The camera was broadcast to Natasha in the audience.

The two looked at each other with bright smiles on their faces.

However, seeing this scene, Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to her, had a dark expression on her face. She secretly swore in her heart that Chen Fei would not be abducted by this white girl!

"Yaya, please translate for me quickly. What is Director Chen talking about? Why can't I understand?"

In an apartment on the Third Ring Road in the capital, Wang Baoqiang was watching the broadcast on TV with excitement.

He knew that Chen Fei had won the award, but because he didn't understand English, he couldn't understand what was being said on the TV.

"It's nothing." Tong Liya said casually: "Director Chen just thanked a lot of people and the female boss of their company, and that's about it."

Wang Baoqiang was quite envious, "Why can you all understand English? I can't understand it?"

"That's because you didn't study hard."

Tong Liya teased him with a smile, but then she seemed to think of something and her face suddenly became more serious.

"Baoqiang, I think you should also learn English. Look at that Wu Jing. He met Director Chen later than you, but he has already gone to the Oscars with you."

Hearing this, Wang Baoqiang's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a strong sense of crisis rose in his heart.

What Tong Liya said was indeed very important. When preparing for "Kung Fu Panda", Chen Fei had proposed that he wanted him to go to Hollywood to help.

But considering that he couldn't speak English, he could only regretfully give up in the end.

As long as he followed Chen Fei, he would definitely have the opportunity to film in Hollywood in the future, but the prerequisite was that he had to speak English, otherwise communication between actors would be a big problem!

"Huh..." Wang Baoqiang let out a long breath, and a hint of tenacity appeared in his eyes, "I've decided. I will go to New Oriental to sign up tomorrow and must learn English well!"

"Okay, I support you."

The award ceremony is still going on.

After the announcement of the three major awards for Best Documentary Short Film, Best Documentary Feature Film, and Best Live Action Short Film, one of the most exciting moments of the night has finally arrived!

In order to ensure ratings and visibility, the Oscar award presenters are all stars, and are usually a pair of one man and one woman.

Robert Downey Jr., the most popular actor in "Iron Man" last year, walked onto the podium with Megan Fox, the heroine of "Transformers".

Just like Tony in the movie, Robert Downey Jr. is also a social bull in real life!

He has become popular again and has once again enjoyed the pursuit of many people. He talked endlessly on the stage, which once caused laughter at the scene.

Megan Fox was even a little shy because of him.

After a bunch of nonsense, Robert Downey Jr. returned to the topic, "The next award will be the Best Foreign Language Film, please look at the big screen..." The screen flickered, and six foreign language films from six countries appeared on the screen. When "Mulan" appeared on the screen, there was a burst of noise at the scene. Liu Yifei clenched her fists, and her palms began to sweat. In the front row, Han Sanping, who was sitting in the same row with the president of Sony, also put away the smile on his face, and the whole person became extremely solemn. This award can determine too many things! He now only hopes to hear the names of Chen Fei and "Mulan" from Robert Downey Jr. In addition to the members of the "Mulan" crew and Han Sanping, there are actually many Asian faces at the award ceremony, and they are all staring at the screen at this time. Deng Wendi, the current female boss of 20th Century Fox, asked curiously: "Ziyi? Based on your experience, do you think he can win the Best Foreign Language Film Award?"

Zhang Ziyi appeared in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which won the Best Foreign Language Film Award, and "Hero", which was nominated.

Therefore, Deng Wendi still trusts her.

"It's probably difficult. The selection of this award is not very fair to Chinese-language films. The strength of the same period is quite strong. I think it may be given to the Austrian film "The Counterfeiter". The reason is also very simple..."

"Let's congratulate Fei and congratulate "Mulan"!"

"Hey???"

Zhang Ziyi's analysis stopped abruptly. He never thought that the slap in the face would come so quickly!

Just now, he said that it was difficult for "Mulan" to win the award, but before he finished speaking, Robert Downey Jr. and Megan Fox on the stage had announced the result.

Suddenly, the applause was thunderous!

"Ah?! I won the award!"

Liu Yifei jumped up with joy and rushed into Chen Fei's arms without thinking, her face full of surprise and excitement!

Liu Xiaoli watched from the side, always feeling a little weird, she thought her daughter would choose to hug her to celebrate...

Because of the delay, Chen Fei had already stepped onto the podium, but the domestic side had just started to announce the winning film.

In the Sixth Princess's live broadcast room, Sa Beining and Zhu Guangquan were invited to be the hosts.

The two were silent at this time, waiting for the moment when the award was announced with the audience across the country.

"The winner of the 80th Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film is - "Mulan", let us congratulate FeiChen!"

"WTF?"

Sa Beining didn't care whether he would be deducted money by the station at this time, and he subconsciously uttered an exclamation.

Zhu Guangquan, who was sitting opposite, was about to remind him, but then he thought that this seemed to be the Sixth Princess's live broadcast room, and they shouldn't care if the host occasionally said one or two wrong words.

At this moment, cheers not only resounded in the broadcast room of the Sixth Princess, but also reached the homes of all the netizens who were watching the broadcast.

"Won the award?!"

"Wow, this is too awesome!"

"Amazing, really amazing, won two awards in one night, spanning two completely different fields, it's simply awesome!"

In the auditorium of Beijing Film Academy, students from both the acting department and the directing department were cheering wildly at this time.

Lao Zhao took action immediately and led several people from the logistics department to hang up the banner directly!

These few days are the enrollment season. Once this banner is hung at the gate, the enrollment rate of new students this year will definitely be much higher than that of the Central Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy!

In the Huayi office building, Wang Zhonglei slammed the table and said, "Tell the publicity department to immediately release the news of our cooperation with Director Chen. Let's take advantage of this opportunity."

On the New Picture side, Zhang Weiping was full of jealousy.

He has cooperated with Zhang Yimou for so many years, and has successively sent "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers" and "Curse of the Golden Flower" to Hollywood to participate in the Oscar Best Foreign Language Film selection, but in the end, he could only get a nomination at most.

On the other hand, Chen Fei, this is only his first attempt at the Oscar Best Foreign Language Film, but he was directly nominated + won, a one-stop service!

Why?

It's unfair!

On the podium, after hugging Robert Downey Jr. and Megan Fox, Chen Fei took over the Oscar Best Foreign Language Film.

"Thank you very much for the recognition of the jury, thank you for the efforts of every actor, thank you Ms. Liu Yifei who plays "Mulan", and thank you for the support of Industrial Light & Magic in post-rendering. If it weren't for your great help, I wouldn't be able to stand on this podium today.

I am honored and lucky. Thank you very much to all my friends who support me and those who have given me a lot of help..."

At the end, Chen Fei turned his eyes to the broadcast camera of the Sixth Princess, held up the trophy, smiled brightly, and said in Chinese: "Fans and friends in China, as you wish, I have not let you down!"

After hearing this, whether it is Chen Fei's die-hard fans, passers-by fans, or black fans in China, they are all screaming and cheering wildly at this time!

In the Sixth Princess live broadcast room, Sa Beining has begun to let himself go uncontrollably.

"Director Chen is awesome! No, I have to kowtow to him"

Zhu Guangquan almost didn't hold him back...

Recommend a friend's book.

The title of the book is "Return to 2002: Starting with 800 acres of wasteland"

Reborn in 2002, in that era of Internet boom, major industry transformation, and gathering of bigwigs... Chen Jianbin just wanted to farm, grow a little bit of land, earn a little bit of money, spend more time with his parents, treat his relatives and friends around him well, and let more people eat safe food.

Then, he succeeded!
