Chapter 305: Conferred the Godhood! Zhang Ziyi's Thoughts, Ning Hao's Expectations! Debut Is the Peak?
After the Best Foreign Language Film was announced, the rest had nothing to do with Chen Fei.
He had become a pure spectator.
But in China, netizens still couldn't calm down their excitement for a long time, and people in the film and television industry were shocked as if their pupils were shaking!
After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", another Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film was won by a Chinese-language film.
"Mulan"
It's a god!
In the forum, Chen Fei's fans cheered one after another, as if it was the New Year.
"From now on, I declare that Director Chen will be officially promoted to the number one director in the mainland. Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Brother Chen Kai, all of you should step aside."
"Damn, this movie is really strong. It has a box office of more than 600 million in the mainland, ranking first. It directly established Director Chen as the leader of the 600 million box office commercial film director club. He also won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and it is still the number one movie in the Hollywood foreign language film list! It's really awesome!"
"From today, I declare that as long as it is Director Chen's movie , even if it is just a work written by him, I must watch it! If it is a film that cannot be introduced in the mainland, I will fly to Hong Kong or Taiwan to watch it! "
"I didn't find a way to go to Hong Kong before, alas, it's a pity, which brother can remind me? Where to find Hong Kong prostitutes?"
"I heard there are big foreign horses? Where is it? I can't let my brothers eat coarse food with me?"
"Fuck? Brothers, pay attention! Don't let the building tilt too much!"
"..."

At the award ceremony, Chen Fei held the trophy in his hand and walked happily from the stage to his seat.
Along the way, many people congratulated him on winning the grand prize.
"Director Chen, congratulations on winning the award."
A figure suddenly came over and hugged him before Chen Fei could react.
"Sister Ziyi?"
Chen Fei was startled. He hadn't noticed that Zhang Ziyi was sitting by the aisle just now. It was scary to appear suddenly.
"Director Chen, if there is a suitable role, remember to think of me. In fact, I can also play the role of Hua Mulan. The salary and other things can be negotiated."
"Okay, I will."
Fade Chen agreed casually, but he put this word behind him after parting with her.
Objectively speaking, Zhang Ziyi can indeed play "Hua Mulan", but there are too many controversies about her, and it is easy to cause trouble if she is too entangled.
Therefore, it is better to stay away from her as much as possible!
Watching Fei Chen take his seat, Zhang Ziyi smiled and waved to him again. After confirming that the interaction between the two was fully recorded by the live camera, she sat down with satisfaction.
Tomorrow's headlines are guaranteed. This wave of popularity is too timely. It seems that I have to choose the seat here in the aisle next time!
In fact, she didn't have to work so hard. After all, after breaking up with the young master of the Huo family, her new boyfriend has become an investor of Goldman Sachs Group, and is also a personal shareholder of Warner and Weinstein Films, and has a close relationship with the Murdoch family.
Of course, this is also the reason why she can be with Wendy Deng.
In terms of personal wealth, her new boyfriend Ivy Niwo is definitely much better than Huo Qishan!
But even so, Zhang Ziyi is still a little worried.
In her opinion, feelings are too cheap. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is the most appropriate choice to put what she has in her hands in her pocket.
Although she does not have the means of Deng Wendi, and can take a big step forward every time she gets married, she thinks that her flowering period is still quite long.
Taking this opportunity to secrete more nectar, even if she separates in the future, she can still live freely and freely!

The award ceremony is still going on, and the Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Picture awards were announced one by one, triggering cheers from the scene.
"No Country for Old Men" became the biggest winner tonight, winning the Best Picture Award, and the Coen brothers also won the Best Director Award for the film.
Daniel Day-Lewis won the Best Actor Award for "There Will Be Blood", and Marion Cotillard won the Best Actress Award for "La Vie en Rose".
The movie that Chen Fei was very curious about, "Inflatable Doll Love", finally lost to "Juno".
At this point, the award ceremony officially came to an end.
Many people came over to congratulate Chen Fei and congratulate him on winning two trophies tonight.
Han Sanping was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
You know, China Film Group invested 20% in "Mulan", and he also contributed to this trophy.
"Haha, this year's performance has reached the target."
Holding the Oscar statuette, Han Sanping was already thinking about how to write the performance report at the end of the year.
Although the previous "Nanjing! Nanjing!" and "The Warlords" lost a lot of money, this Oscar statuette can completely offset all the previous wrong investments.
Whether it is fame or profit, it is simply a huge profit!
"Director Han, you have to pay more attention to the introduction of Kung Fu Panda to mainland theaters. You have to keep this animated film for me. Don't let someone take it off the shelves!"
"Don't worry about that." Han Sanping put away the smile on his face and said very seriously: "I will follow up on this film personally and guarantee to give you a green light all the way."
"Haha, then I thank you in advance."
In order to prevent something as bad as Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit from happening again, Chen Fei made a lot of preparations this time and even went to the film bureau in advance to say hello.
Now that he has won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, his influence in the mainland film and television industry has once again increased a lot. It can be regarded as a three-pronged approach.
"Kung Fu Panda" is an animated movie that no one can beat!
And in order to better screen it in the mainland, he even specially released two dubbing versions in Chinese and English.
When it is released globally, audiences in China will be able to see "Kung Fu Panda" dubbed in full Chinese, while foreign audiences will naturally see the English version.
Although this will lead to an increase in the budget, all this must be done in order for the final box office to meet expectations.

After the Oscars are over, only the 34th Saturn Awards are left.
This year's Saturn Awards will be awarded on June 24, and the nominations will be announced on May 1, which is about two months away.
Chen Fei applied for movies such as "Mulan", "Iron Man", "The Incredible Hulk", and "The Twilight Saga".
No matter whether you can win or not, just give it a try first and then let’s talk about it.
If there is one, go and accept the award. If there is no award, forget it. He himself behaves quite freely.
After leaving the Kodak Theater, he returned to the animation studio and once again devoted himself to the production of "Kung Fu Panda", and also did the post-editing work of "Game of Thrones".
The three portals are always the fastest channels for spreading news.
[Warm congratulations to Director Chen Fei for winning the 80th Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for his domestic film "Mulan"! 】
The huge title was specially blackened and bolded, and it was placed high on the headline page of the website.
After seeing this headline, everyone in the industry who had no free time to watch the broadcast last night opened their eyes wide with disbelief on their faces.
"What the hell? Best Foreign Language Film Award? Did you really win it?"
Ning Hao called, his tone full of envy and shock.
It’s really awesome, the second domestic Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. For mainland commercial filmmakers, the gold content of this trophy is even higher than the three European gold medals!
You know, so far, only Li Yin among Chinese directors has won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the others have only received nominations at most.
"Didn't you watch the broadcast last night?"
"No, yesterday happened to be the day when "Painted Skin" was wrapping up. After the filming, we went to a restaurant and drank until midnight, so we didn't pay much attention to it."
"Huh? "Painted Skin" has been finished? It's pretty fast!"
"That's natural. When have I ever let you down? Then I will arrange for someone to send you the finished film. You still have to arrange the special effects production of the film."
"Okay, that's no problem. After you go back, ask Su Guohai to tell several investors that "Painted Skin" should be scheduled for the summer vacation. If it is released earlier, the funds can be withdrawn earlier."
"Okay, I'll tell Mr. Su later."
The two chatted for a few more words and agreed to go back to celebrate, and Chen Fei was ready to hang up the phone.
But at this moment, Ning Hao suddenly said hesitantly: "Chen Fei, you see I have been free recently, and I have someone to take care of my children at home. Why don't you give me another project?"
"Hey? Don't you need to go back to accompany Sister Na? There's no rush. It'll be time to start a new drama after a while."
"I can't live without anything. If I make more money, I can buy a bigger house."
"Then what type of movie do you want to make next? Do you want to continue making a commercial film?"
Ning Hao's salary is linked to the movie's box office. The higher the box office, the higher his share will naturally be.
Chen Fei took it for granted that he wanted to continue making commercial films and make more money.
But the next second, Ning Hao suddenly changed the topic: "Is there a suitable script for a literary film? I want to try my old profession. If I don't make literary films, I suspect that I will completely forget the shooting techniques of literary films."
Art films?
Chen Fei chatted with him casually, and took some time to look through the script library.
After a while, he actually selected a script!
"The Embalmer"
This script was opened from the premium script gift pack in East Asia when he previously completed the system challenge mission.
Little Days has its own way of making literary feature films. Shoplifters, which helped Chen Fei win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival, was also written by Little Days.
The script tells the story of a down-and-out cellist "Daigo Kobayashi" who accidentally came into contact with the profession of an embalmer after returning to his hometown. After experiencing self-rejection, the prejudice of others, and the denial of the world, he gradually became a respectable embalmer.
The story presents the daily work of the undertaker and the funeral customs, allowing a newbie to understand death and understand that death exists as a part of life, thereby understanding the meaning and value of life.
It is worth mentioning that in Chen Fei’s memory, this movie also won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!
In fact, there are still many literary and artistic film scripts in the script library, but since they are to be filmed by Ning Hao, naturally they cannot give him the kind of low-budget literary and artistic films that Sosou has.
This movie actually has no special effects, but the filming scenes and actors' acting skills are very demanding.
And because the background of the story takes place in Xiaoli, if Ning Hao is to direct it, it has to be translated into Chinese.
The three words "Huluxia" suddenly popped up in Chen Fei's mind...
With a smile, he had made a decision, "I do have a script suitable for you, but it is not finished yet. How about this, you take a month off first, and I will show it to you after I return to China in April, how about it?"
"Okay! Then you must remember it!"
Ning Hao gave many instructions, and he was quite impatient.
After ending the call with Ning Hao, Chen Fei received calls from many people, and even the two girls Li Zhien and Lin Yuer sent text messages from South Korea.
The second Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in the Chinese film market!
The popularity created by "Mulan" will hardly dissipate in a short time!
…
March has arrived as scheduled, and the shooting progress of "Kung Fu Panda" has been accelerating, and it is expected to be officially completed at the end of the month!
"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" is expected to be officially completed in another week.
Wen Ziren once again entered the vision of major Hollywood media with the second part of the Lurking series.
At the same time, the second film of the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" series, which had a brilliant record in 2007, was officially announced to start filming. The struggle between humans and apes will start again!
Wang Luoxun, who appeared in the first film, flew to Hollywood again and joined the filming of the second film.
Huang Shengyi used many connections to try to get a role, but was resolutely rejected by Chen Fei!
Even the artists of my own company don't have a chance, why are you here to join in the fun?
At the same time, Marvel Studios announced that the three films "Iron Man 2", "Thor" and "Captain America" will start filming simultaneously.
The launch conference was scheduled on the same day.
Robert Downey Jr. appeared as Tony Stark again and received unanimous praise from fans.
Chris Evans, who played the role of the Human Torch in the movie "Fantastic Four", became Captain America and showed off his muscles at the press conference.
Under Chen Fei's leadership, the actor of "Thor" was still Chris Hemsworth.
The current "Thor" is still not well-known, and his pay is very low. He is a very useful tool.
However... as the press conference progressed, the media and reporters who flew in from the mainland gradually made new discoveries!
There seem to be many Chinese faces in the cast of these Hollywood blockbusters?
Reporters from Sina and Six Princesses found Chen Fei and asked him the reason.
Chen Fei did not mean to hide it, and explained with a smile: "Isn't Feiyinghuang Agency established? There are too few projects in the mainland, and it is not the turn of the newly signed actors of the company to participate in them.
It just so happens that Marvel and Walt have a lot of film projects recently, so I selected a group of idle actors from the company and brought them to Hollywood to play supporting roles and get familiar with the big screen."
After hearing this, the reporters on the scene were a little confused for a while!
Many people have predicted before that artists who signed with Feiyinghuang Agency should get a lot of high-quality film and television resources.
But I never expected that the resources they got could be so high-quality!
Debut is Hollywood?
There is an old saying that goes, all roads lead to Rome!
However, some people can never reach Rome in their entire lives, but some people come to Rome as soon as they are born!
For mainland actors, Hollywood is the holy land they yearn for and the goal they pursue throughout their lives.
But what about now?
With the establishment of Feiyinghuang Agency, some actors who don’t even have a debut work have come directly to Hollywood!
Their starting point is the end point that many people pursue throughout their lives!
As one of the representatives who came to Hollywood this time, Kan Qingzi from the 2007 Beijing Film Academy has become the focus of many reporters.
The reason is very simple, just because she played a small supporting role in "Iron Man 2", and her partner was Scarlett Johansson, who was selected as the sexiest woman of the year by Esquire magazine in the United States.
"I was really terrified. I still feel like I'm dreaming. I am very grateful to Director Chen for giving me such an opportunity. My debut work is actually the Hollywood blockbuster "Iron Man 2". I feel unbelievable..."
The incident in Hollywood was quickly reported back to China.
When a group of young actors with fresh faces appeared on the set of Hollywood blockbusters, the bosses and artists of other brokerage companies in the mainland suddenly changed their faces!
"Because they are newly signed artists, and there are no suitable projects in the mainland, so they are sent to Hollywood to play supporting roles first?"
Seeing Chen Fei's original words published in the media, the bosses of major brokerage companies in the mainland were silent.
What kind of international joke is this?
You built such a big international ferry, but you actually transported a group of college students who have not yet officially debuted?
At this moment, Zheng Shuang, who was participating in the opening ceremony of "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together" at Mango Tianyu, was also stunned, with jealousy on her face!
Two days ago, she despised Kan Qingzi for trying to get a cold shoulder, but she never expected that the slap in the face would come so quickly!
Looking at the familiar faces in the photos published by Sina.com, she suddenly felt a little blushing.
Shame, shock, jealousy and other thoughts intertwined in her mind, making her feel more depressed and unwilling!
Originally, her goal was just to surpass Jing Tian, but now, when Kan Qingzi, Zhang Ruoyun, and Tan Songyun, three classmates of hers, appeared in the Hollywood camera, she suddenly felt powerless.
How can they be compared?
The gap is simply too big!
Even though she is about to play the female lead, in the eyes of people in the industry, her role is nothing compared to the supporting roles in Hollywood A-level blockbusters!
A sense of frustration arose spontaneously, so much so that Zheng Shuang didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Han who was talking nonstop next to her.
She had to think of a way, she couldn't just watch others become famous while she could only play youth idol dramas.
"Or, find a way to contact Director Chen?"
Zheng Shuang's eyes flickered slightly, and a bold idea filled her mind.
