Chapter 351 If You Can't Lead a Team, Then You Can only Work Until You Die! Who Gave Him a Good Review? !

After New Year’s Day, the busyness starts again!

Chen Fei paid special attention to the animated film "Lightning Dogs" released by Disney and "Madagascar 2: Escape to Africa" ​​released by DreamWorks.

These two movies are the most powerful competitors of "Kung Fu Panda". The following Golden Globe Awards, Oscars, Annie Awards, Saturn Awards, etc. will be the moment when these three movies will start fighting.

What excites him is that the first two are far behind "Kung Fu Panda" in terms of box office and reputation!

"Madagascar 2" was even better, taking in $63.5 million in its first three days.

But "Lightning Dog" is much worse.

As the fourth 3D comedy animated film produced and distributed by Walt Disney, it has only grossed US$60 million in box office revenue in the North American market since its release on the 21st.

This result obviously did not meet Disney's expectations. They have even begun to work on word of mouth and are still trying to restore the decline.

"You go and notify the animation studio so that we can start preparations for "Kung Fu Panda 2"."

"Okay, Boss."

The female secretary responded, turned around, twisted her round and plump peach butt, and quickly left the office.

Chen Fei is going to be the hands-off boss again. He is going to ask Natasha to find a reliable animation director to be responsible for the filming of the second part of "Kung Fu Panda".

He has too much work at hand right now and has no time to do this.

The editing work of "Inception" is already complicated, and he also has to take time to focus on the post-production of "War for the Planet of the Apes" and several other Marvel movies, so he doesn't have much time to shoot such a time-consuming process. animated movie.

He even assigned the filming work for the second season of "Game of Thrones" to Alan Taylor and asked him to find a few reliable assistant directors to work with him.

When it comes to being a hands-off shopkeeper, he is very good at it!

Anyway, his name is listed as the producer of these movies and American TV series. If you have anything to do, just hang around the crew and supervise the work.

If he really had to do everything by himself, he would tire himself to death!

After all, there is a saying that goes like this:

[If you don’t know how to lead a team, you will have to work until you die! 】

…

Entering January, the number of award ceremonies in Hollywood has begun to increase, and many people in the company are busy every day.

The same goes for Natasha. She has to be responsible for competing for the Olympics, so she hangs out at various parties every day and spends a lot of money.

Bruce likes this kind of activity very much. He gets drunk every day and mainly plays the role of blocking the boss's drink and sharing his worries.

Chen Fei occasionally participates in parties, but he usually participates selectively. More often, he devotes himself to the post-production of "Inception".

In addition, he will also always pay attention to some domestic news.

"Hello! Mr. Tree! "The release date of "The Movie" is set in March, so a small-scale promotion has been launched.

Chen Long called him once and asked him when should he set the release date of "Twelve Zodiac Signs"?

Chen Fei's suggestion to him was to go during the summer vacation. The competition during that time period was not that big, and there were no Hollywood blockbusters during the same period. The student party also had pocket money in their hands, so they could harvest a wave of box office.

"Then remember to help me promote it when the time comes." Chen Long said on the phone.

"OK, no problem!"

Chen Fei agreed without hesitation.

The hottest news in China these days is that the box office of "If You Are the One" has exceeded 300 million. Feng Xiaogang is a blockbuster, once again sweeping the Lunar New Year festival with his Feng comedy.

But then, "Red Cliff Part 2" also came in force, seeming to want a piece of the action.

At the screening meeting, Wu Yu spoke loudly to many media and producers in the audience: "Our last film made 300 million domestically and received a lot of praise. I firmly believe that this film will definitely repeat itself." Brilliant, brave to surpass the former!”

Several media outlets published his words intact online.

For a time, jeers resounded across all major platforms!

"Made, who gave him good reviews? Stand up, stand up!"

"Are you calling Mengmeng?"

"Damn it, if I try to watch this movie again, I'm just a dog!"

"Fuck, damn "Red Cliff", it will destroy our Three Kingdoms!"

"Actually, it's quite good to watch as a comedy, but it's a bit ruinous, and it's much worse than "If You Are the One"."

Among these mixed messages, Chen Fei saw a piece of news mixed in.

"Mei Lanfang" has officially been released, with a box office revenue of 115 million.

In the field of literary and artistic films, this result is indeed quite good, but because of the comparison with "The Embalmer", which is also a literary and artistic film, this result seems not to be worth mentioning.

After all... the box office of "The Embalmer" has now reached 160 million!

And according to the timeline, it still has a week to release, and by then it may reach 170 million, or even 180 million is possible!

This made Brother Chen Kai feel a little uncomfortable.

The competitor's film was also shortlisted for the main competition section of the Berlin Film Festival. The box office was higher than our own, the reputation was better than our own, and the actress was as pure as a little white flower...

Mudd!

It’s so infuriating to compare people to each other!

But what he didn't know was that the really annoying news hadn't spread yet.

The 66th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards announced the shortlist. "Slumdog Millionaire" was nominated for four awards: Best Drama Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Score.

"Kung Fu Panda" was nominated for Best Animated Feature Film, and "The Undertaker" was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.

…

In the hotel, Chen Fei was holding a newspaper in one hand and coffee in the other, which was called leisurely.

He went to an event last night and didn't end until very late. He simply didn't go back to the villa. Instead, he followed Deepika Padukone to the hotel.

Newspapers and coffee were brought by the waiter, and he didn't go out all morning.

On the other side of the sofa, Deepika Padukone was wearing a maid outfit, squatting slightly in front of him, with an expression on her face that she was at her mercy.

This woman is getting more and more over the top. I don’t know where she got her maid outfit, and she even paired it with a silver-white necklace.

Since it is a collar, it must be equipped with a chain, and at this time, one end of the chain is connected to Fade Chen's wrist!

In other words, no matter where Chen Fei goes, she must follow him every step of the way because of the pull of the chain!

Rather than saying that the identity of the two cosplayers is "master and servant", it is better to say..."master and slave"!

The M attributes are simply full!

Chen Fei didn't quite understand why she liked this, but he understood. After all, everyone actually has more or less small hobbies in private.

For example, some people like the kitchen, some like the bathroom, some like the balcony, some like the open air, and some even like public toilets!

In fact, he can understand it, just like he himself prefers partners who are understanding, smart, and willing to sit down and talk.

"Okay, no more fun, I have to go back to other work."

After reading the newspaper, Chen Fei untied the chains on his wrists and stood up.

"Are you leaving? I'll see you off."

Deepika quickly stood up and jogged to get him his coat.

Because she ran a bit wide and her little tail was swishing behind her, she looked so cute!

"Will you come over again in the evening?" When handing over the coat, she still had a little expectation.

"If you come over, I will notify you in advance."

Chen Fei said as he pushed open the door.

He secretly thought that it probably wouldn't work tonight. Natalie Dormer flew over from New York to prepare to participate in the filming of the second season of Game of Thrones.

This girl has a strong desire and is one of the few opponents who can fight with him for half the game. They have agreed to use up 20 TTs every time they meet.

Just when Chen Fei once again devoted himself to the post-production of movies, "Red Cliff Part 2" was officially launched in major theaters in China.

Although Wu Yu was so hyped at the screening party, the box office on the first day still gave him a resounding slap in the face!

14 million!

This data is actually worse than the opportunistic "Mei Lanfang"!

In fact, this is quite normal. After all, the first part really gave the audience a bad experience. Even if you promoted the second part as the climax, many fans would still sneer at it.

Words such as "The climax is awesome", "The big scene is so cute", "Whoever sees it is a dog" are flooded on all major platforms.

However, before the major media could start to follow the popular sentiment and accuse "Red Cliff Part 2", the news about the Golden Globe nomination from the United States spread throughout the mainland.

"Slumdog Millionaire", "Kung Fu Panda", "The Undertaker".

Looking at these three movie titles, netizens were excited for the first time.

"Made, Director Chen is so awesome!"

"Don't they all say that the Golden Globes are a precursor to the Oscars? If I win this award, wouldn't it mean that I will definitely win the Oscar?"

"Ouch! It's too chewy!"

The shock of outsiders is nothing. What this news really arouses is the shock of insiders!

"Are you going to become a god?"

In the China Film Building, Han Sanping looked at the media reports and murmured.

But Wu Yu, who was sitting opposite him, felt a little uncomfortable.

Originally, the failure of "Red Cliff Part 2" at the box office was enough to make him uncomfortable, but he didn't expect that his opponent would be so obsessed with it, which made him even more uncomfortable!

He retorted: "There is no guarantee of winning an Oscar. This award requires public relations. Not only does the quality of the film have to be high enough, but it also places high demands on the company's public relations team."

"Yeah?"

Han Sanping didn't say anything, but she was already complaining in her heart. Do you understand?

"Yes!" Wu Yu was still upset and began to analyze clearly, "You should know the movie "Saving Private Ryan", right? This movie lost to "Shakespeare in Love", which shows that this movie How hard it is to win an Oscar.

What's more, due to his nationality, it is not easy to win this Oscar. "

As is the case in the United States, it is indeed not easy for foreign directors to win major awards in their countries.

But Han Sanping just didn't like his tone of voice that made others more presumptuous and undermined his own ambition. After all, Chen Fei was also a direct descendant of China Film Studio. What do you mean it's hard for you to take one by one?

"What if you get it?"

"Then I will donate all the money I earned from filming "Red Cliff"!"

Wu Yu is very confident, even determined!

If he was betting on the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, then he really wouldn't dare. After all, Chen Fei had already won it with "Mulan".

But if he is betting on the Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture, then he must be full of confidence.

You are a Chinese director, and you want to win the Oscar from the United States by making Indian-themed movies. How many layers of Buffs do you need?

It would be strange if you could win the award!

Han Sanping smiled slightly, "Okay, let's see when the time comes."

…

Time came a week later, and the first week box office of "Red Cliff II" was just released, only 85 million, which was far less brilliant than the previous one.

At the same time, "Departures" also reached a one-month release period, and the box office closed at 180 million yuan.

"Not bad, very good!"

Chen Fei nodded with satisfaction. This result has already paid off. When the copyright is sold in Berlin, it will be a mess.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony will be held in the evening. After hanging up the phone, he was ready to leave.

There are quite a lot of people going to Walt Disney Studios tonight, especially the animation studio. They are ambitious and vow to create more glory.

Ning Hao and his friends also flew to Los Angeles, after all, "Departures" was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film.

Although they didn't think the film could win an award, since they had the right to be nominated, they naturally had to participate.

The Berlin Film Festival was earlier than the Oscars, so after the awards ceremony here was over, they would fly to Berlin.

Although it was still early for the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival, some screenings had already begun to be prepared, and the film producers were already impatient.

"Fade Chen, does this Indian female star like you? Why do I feel like she's been peeking at you all the way?" Ning Hao secretly came over and whispered at the awards ceremony.

Liu Yifei's ears were very sharp, and they trembled slightly, and then stood up immediately.

"I don't know, I never pay attention to these."

It's just fooling people, who wouldn't?

What's more, he studied acting, isn't he a master?

"Alas, it's better to be young!"

Ning Hao sighed for no reason. Xing Aina kept a very strict control on him. She would check on him almost every day, fearing that he would not be able to resist temptation.

"If I were you, I would have a relationship now."

"Oh? Why?" Chen Fei looked at him curiously while listening to the award speech on the stage.

"Young? Try more new things, and you won't regret it in the future."

"..."

Chen Fei thought he would say something from experience, but it was just this?

My buddy has tried many more new things than you think!

For example, that Indian actress, she is so new that she can't be newer!

However, at this time, Liu Yifei next to him showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Youth is capital. Young people should try more new things and don't let themselves regret it...

"It's time to have a relationship!"

While thinking, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Chen Fei. She actually had a very complicated mood for this guide on her growth path and her first screen kiss object.

She did not hide her admiration, respect, and even respect for Chen Fei, but... can this be considered love?

…

Today is still quite lively.

Chen Fei is attending the Golden Globe Awards, and in China, the crew of If You Are the One is also holding a grand celebration banquet.

340 million!

This is the achievement created by "Feng's Comedy" in the Lunar New Year period, and it is also another proof of Feng Xiaogang.

At the same time, Huayi also made a lot of money!

As they toasted and exchanged cups, everyone drank a little too much unconsciously.

"This year's domestic film box office list has been determined, haha, 340 million, congratulations to Director Feng."

Wang Zhongjun was holding a red wine glass, so happy. As the producer, Huayi's share of this movie is not low.

However, in the face of his congratulations, Feng Xiaogang did not show too much joy.

"Alas, it's still far behind, not to mention "Mulan", it's even a long way behind "Lost in Thailand", there's still a long way to go in the future."

"..."

This sentence directly washed away the joy in Wang Zhongjun's heart.

"Lost in Thailand" made 500 million, "Mulan" made 600 million, and even "Chinese Partner" made 350 million!

Comparing people is really annoying!

He still wanted to save face, "Haha, Feiyue Films didn't have any particularly outstanding high-grossing movies this year."

Feng Xiaogang didn't know if it was intentional or not, and he listed them all at once, "Kung Fu Panda" and "The Twilight Saga: New Moon", both of which broke 700 million US dollars, "Departures" was not high, but it was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival and the Golden Globe Award..."

"..."

Wang Zhongjun silently put the wine glass aside. He couldn't drink this wine today. He had no interest at all.

Chen Guofu's eyes moved slightly, "I don't know if "Departures" can win an award? This is a purely Chinese film."

"Isn't Hollywood holding an awards ceremony? Won't we know tomorrow?"

Wang Zhongjun didn't want to talk about Chen Fei anymore.

If Huayi didn't need to accumulate enough capital for the GEM listing in the second half of the year, he would even think about buying back the shares in Chen Fei's hands!

Since this guy appeared, Huayi has been being pressed down and hammered by him. This feeling is really uncomfortable!

However, what made him even more uncomfortable was still to come.

At the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Chen Fei has won three awards in succession: Best Screenplay, Best Drama Film, and Best Animated Feature Film.

He is now waiting to receive the Best Director Award.

Next to him, Ning Hao looked at the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film in his hand and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time!

Won the award?

Won the award!

Really won the award!

He was actually just going to come here to broaden his horizons, but he didn't expect to hold the trophy in his hands without knowing it, which also made him feel inexplicably that he was dreaming!

"Congratulations, the winner of this year's Golden Globe Award for Best Director is - Fei Chen "Slumdog Millionaire"!"

The voice in his ear and the figure standing next to him made Ning Hao feel more and more stunned.

The Best Director Award was also won?

So, at this year's Golden Globe Awards, their group won a total of... five awards?

He became more and more suspicious. Was this really not a dream?

If this news gets back to China, it will really cause an uproar!
