Chapter 538: Don’t Women’s Feet Smell Good? The Oscar Race Is Officially Underway!

Outside Los Angeles, in Studio 1 of Walt Disney Studios.

At this time, all the actors involved in "Dallas Buyers Club" have arrived and are making preparations before the start of filming.

"Matthew McConaughey, Matt Damon, Jared Leto, Jack Nicholson, Crystal Liu..."

Chen Fei read the names of the actors and production team members present one by one according to a list in his hand.

For a moment, there were waves of responses at the scene.

After the last name was read, Chen Fei handed the list to Natasha who was standing aside, and then walked to the digital monitor.

Arriving at the designated location, he reached out to take the loudspeaker handed by the assistant and directly ordered: "I declare that "Dallas Buyers Club" is officially launched!"

As soon as the voice fell, a series of applause rang out at the scene.

At the same time, "Ron" played by Matthew McConaughey took out the screwdriver that had been prepared long ago from his pocket and walked towards the electric meter box on the other side.

The scene soon became quiet.

"Action..."

With Chen Fei's order, "Dallas Buyers Club" officially started filming.

The media outside the studio strictly abided by the crew's regulations. Although they were taking pictures crazily, they did not turn on the flash and there was no noise.

Related news soon appeared on platforms such as Los Angeles Daily, Hollywood Times, and TMC.

"Director Fei Chen's third Hollywood feature film has officially started filming and has been confirmed to compete for the next Oscar."

"Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson, two-time Oscar winners, have joined the film to add luster to the film's story."

"In order to play the role of 'Ron' well, Matthew McConaughey lost 50 pounds in just one and a half months. His professionalism is the best in Hollywood..."

Although the film has just started filming, it has already begun to work hard for the award.

If you want to win an Oscar, you need to spend enough dollars and make great efforts in the media and public opinion.

Only by combining multiple parties can you get more opportunities and a higher success rate.

Natasha has reached cooperation with many news websites and newspapers.

During the next filming period, the crew will occasionally release some interesting stories or noteworthy events that happened during the filming of the movie to expand its popularity and attract more attention.

The more attention it receives, the less effort it can save in public relations and awards.

With the two movies "Slumdog Millionaire" and "The Hunt" both winning Oscars, Chen Fei has accumulated enough experience in awards.

He knows very well what those old white men in Hollywood like, and knows how to cater to their preferences.

Therefore, he is still full of confidence in this award!

On the other side, a meeting around the movie "Argo" is being held at the Warner Pictures headquarters.

There were many people participating in the meeting. In addition to the director and starring Ben Affleck, there were also his buddy Quentin Tarantino and his boss Harvey Weinstein.

The three were sitting on the left side of the conference table.

Sitting opposite them were a group of executives from Warner Bros., the producer and distributor of the film.

George Clooney, Grant Guslov, John Goodman...

The person in charge of presiding over this meeting was Jon Berg, CEO of Warner Pictures.

A pile of newspapers were spread on the conference table. Looking around, almost all of them were about Chen Fei, Walt Disney Pictures, Matthew McConaughey and "Dallas Buyers Club".

"The latest biographical film of that Chinese director has started shooting."

Jon Berg said in a deep voice, but his eyes were fixed on Harvey Weinstein.

At the Oscars dinner, the news that Harvey had challenged Chen Fei had spread throughout Hollywood.

Now everyone knows that the latest movie that Chen Fei has started shooting is the counterpart to "Argo", and the two sides will compete at the 85th Academy Awards.

Jon now really wants to pry open Harvey's head to see if it is full of shit!

You said you have nothing to do, right? Why are you going to challenge him?

Originally, according to the subject matter of "Argo", coupled with Warner's financial resources and Harvey's public relations level, this Oscar statuette is completely within reach.

But now there is a new change!

As soon as Chen Fei's "Dallas Buyers Club" appeared, it immediately formed a strong target intention against "Argo".

The same biographical drama subject matter, the male lead and the second male lead lost dozens of pounds for the role, plus Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson joined, and Chen Fei, a director who won the Oscar twice, directed it personally...

With the combination of these parties, the result of the next Oscar suddenly became confusing.

And all of this was caused by the arrogant and domineering Harvey Weinstein!

If he hadn't deliberately provoked him, how could the other party fight back?

"Damn it, why didn't God take this stupid guy away? It would be considered as removing a big disaster for Hollywood..."

Jon cursed in his heart, but his face was only slightly gloomy.

Several films launched by the company have suffered losses, which has put Warner Pictures under great pressure in the past two years.

Its DC comics tried to compete with Marvel, but the launch of "Green Lantern" caused a loss of up to 200 million US dollars.

The parent company Time Warner is already very dissatisfied!

If the next "The Dark Knight Rises", "Superman: Man of Steel", and "Red Flame 2" continue to cause losses, then Jon Berg will pack up and prepare to pack up and leave.

"This time, we must not lose!"

The gloominess on Harvey's face was equally intense.

As Chen Fei's new movie starts filming, the public relations pressure on his side has increased a lot in an instant.

In terms of public relations expenditures, Waltons Pictures is frighteningly powerful and cannot be matched by an established film company like Weinstein Pictures.

In terms of the company’s market value, the current Waltons Pictures can buy 50 Weinstein Pictures!

Jon Berg adjusted his complicated mood and continued: "You are the most professional in public relations for the Oscars. I need to hear a specific plan. Warner Pictures can only cooperate."

Although Ben Affleck is the director of the movie, at this time, he has no say at all.

Therefore, he could only echo: "No matter what, we must win the Oscar, even if it requires me to pay some physical costs."

Upon hearing this, Quentin, who was sitting next to him, glanced sideways at Ben's butt and curled his lips downwards.

He was confused, why would anyone like a man's butt?

Don’t women’s feet smell good?

He really likes to taste various types and flavors of feet before going to bed at night, which will make him sleep very sweetly.

As for the butt that some people like, to him it is simply a dirty container!

"There's no need for you to sell your ass."

Harvey first teased his younger brother, and then said seriously: "I need help from media reporters. As long as we find a way to ruin that movie, victory will belong to us."

This is Harvey's usual tactic.

Like "Shakespeare in Love" beat "Saving Private Ryan".

After hearing what Harvey said, Jon Berg nodded without hesitation and said: "Times, Turner Broadcasting, People Magazine and other media and newspapers will cooperate with you.

But one thing is that all reports must have solid evidence, and making up rumors and random fabrications will not have any impact on them. "

"I see."

Harvey nodded in understanding.

This is true for all media and magazines in the United States. Random fabrications cannot stand. Only definite black information can form a sure blow.

Even if there is no black material, we must find a way to create black material!

When dealing with "Saving Private Ryan", Harvey's method was to bribe the media and launch the largest troll campaign in the history of Hollywood movies to brush negative reviews.

When dealing with "The Pianist" at the 75th Oscars, the method he used was to give the director's dirty information to the media and launch a cyberattack at the same time.

This time, he will use both "trolls to write negative reviews" and "black directors" to deal with "Dallas Buyers Club."

If conditions permit, he will drive this Chinese director who has become famous in Hollywood back to that poor and backward country!

Hollywood doesn't allow such awesome people to exist!

…

…

Different from the promotion of the movie and cast in Hollywood, when the news came back to China, the main topics of the reports focused on Chen Fei and Liu Yifei.

"Director Chen Fei's latest biopic "Dallas Buyers Club" has started filming and is about to launch its third round of Oscar competition."

"Liu Yifei once again stars as the heroine in the movie, with two Oscar winners as her supporting actors..."

"In terms of film and television resources, Liu Yifei is already ahead of all mainland actresses, unparalleled!"

The feud between domestic entertainment actresses has never stopped, but since the release of "Super Body", all kinds of black materials about Liu Yifei have gradually disappeared from the domestic entertainment media.

The reason is very simple, because Liu Yifei has opened a huge gap with Sidan Shuangbing Yishu Yitang!

Even if they could find reasons to slander Liu Yifei, they would not do such a thankless act.

Because the man behind her is so tough!

"When a whale falls, everything comes alive" will never happen to Liu Yifei.

However, although Liu Yifei successfully avoided the attacks of other actresses, it does not mean that Zhang Ziyi, who has degenerated from the "International Chapter" to the "Hong Kong Chapter", can also avoid it.

After a new day of shooting, Chen Fei just logged in to the film and television information website and saw that there was new content in the domestic entertainment industry!

Several well-known entertainment magazines in Hong Kong reported: "Ms. Zhang, a front-line domestic entertainment actress, secretly engages in sex trafficking. She is currently under investigation and is restricted from leaving the country..."

After seeing this report, Ms. Zhang couldn't sit still. She immediately started traveling back and forth between Hong Kong and the United States, directly suing more than a dozen media outlets, and posted on Weibo to imply that someone was deliberately spreading rumors.

The rumor that she was banned from leaving the country was self-defeating the moment she arrived in the United States.

It didn't take long for a certain screenwriter and some news websites here in the mainland to release the news and directly publish an article, implying that Ms. Fan was the mastermind behind the scenes.

This kind of thing should not be provoked casually. Once the relevant departments launch an investigation, it will not take a long time to "fall into hell."

Ms. Fan immediately jumped out and publicly stated: "I am a person who stands in the sun! Whatever means I have, I will put them in the sun..."

You know, the rankings of these two people in the circle are both "super first-line" level.

No matter who falls, it conforms to the characteristics of "one whale falls, all things come to life", which will definitely make all actresses of the same level and lower level eat their fill.

Based on this, Ms. Li also jumped out: "I think Miss X should call the police to deal with it, and the rumor maker must not be allowed to go unpunished..."

She obviously meant bad things. The bigger the incident, the greater the impact on both parties, and she can just sit back and reap the benefits.

Although the other party did not listen to her, according to media reports, she did appear in law firms and state institutions.

For a time, public opinion on the Internet was aimed at Ms. Fan.

Even Yang Tianzhen, who "has 800,000 water soldiers", couldn't stand it anymore. She immediately contacted a lawyer to file a lawsuit, demanding compensation for mental damages, intending to remove herself from the whirlpool of public opinion...

"It's so lively!"

Watching several first-line actresses take turns to lead the fans to charge, Chen Fei was inexplicably moved.

It's still more lively in this era, unlike the later generations, when only fans would fight, while idols all had a "hello, me, everyone" attitude.

After taking his eyes off the "melon field", Chen Fei paid attention to the box office performance of "Journey to the West: Hero is Back".

With the continuous increase in the reputation of movie fans and the full publicity efforts, the daily new box office of this movie has been very impressive.

Now that it has been released for a whole week, the box office has exceeded 500 million and is charging towards the 600 million mark.

This is a result achieved under the siege of several imported blockbusters. If the ban on imported films had not been lifted this year, the box office performance of this movie would have been even more impressive!

Taking advantage of the current popularity, Feiyue Film and Television Animation Department made a prompt decision and directly sent the script of "Big Fish and Begonia" to the Film Bureau.

The media's attention has always been on this side, so the press release appeared on the Internet as soon as possible.

"Following the great success of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back", Feiyue Film and Television's animation department is suspected to have submitted a new animated film script for review again."

"The production team and release schedule of the new script are still unclear..."

"Huayi, Bona, Xiaoma Pentium, Xingmei and other companies have announced that they will launch plans for animated films in the future, benchmarking "The Monkey King: Hero is Back."

"Domestic animation has finally ushered in a period of great rise!"

"Director Chen Fei has raised the level of domestic animated films by himself. It will no longer be an unattainable dream to catch up with Hollywood!"

...

The filming of "Dallas Buyers Club" went unexpectedly smoothly.

Matthew McConaughey, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, and Jared Leto all showed extremely superb acting skills.

It is no exaggeration to say that these four people are completely "drama mad"!

Once they get into the play, their acting skills make Chen Fei feel extremely surprised.

Especially Matthew, he showed the demeanor, movements, and behaviors of an AIDS patient very well.

If this wasn't a filming, Chen Fei would definitely stay away from him if he saw someone like him in real life to prevent infection.

Perhaps because they had worked together on "Interstellar", Liu Yifei was relatively relaxed when acting with Matthew this time.

When the female nurse she played had her first argument with Matthew, Chen Fei was very satisfied with her performance.

Facing the various information about drugs shown by "Ron", her expression on her face was a little pity, and revealed a little helplessness.

"I advise you not to waste time anymore. Maybe you can go to the mutual aid meeting to talk about your condition and relieve some pressure."

Ron, who was sitting opposite her, leaned forward slightly. Although his face was calm, his eyes behind his glasses were extremely cold, as if there was a strong unwillingness and anger spreading.

"I'm dying, and you still ask me to hug a group of gays?"

He stood up straight and turned away resolutely.

When the camera returned to Liu Yifei's face, she had already shown a strong sense of pity, and her eyes seemed to have thousands of words of comfort to express, but in the end, they only turned into a sigh...

"Cut!"

Chen Fei called a stop in time, notifying that the scene had passed successfully, and raised his thumb in the direction of Liu Yifei.

"Crystal, the emotional release and expression just now were very good, I hope you can keep up the good work."

Not far away, the girl in a nurse's uniform tilted her head and smiled brightly.

Because she had to call her position when working, Liu Yifei did not call Chen Fei's name as usual, but responded very formally:

"Fei, thank you for your encouragement, I will keep it up!"

Chen Fei also smiled back, then lowered his head and began to check the material he had just shot, striving to achieve perfection.

...

However, although the filming of the movie went very smoothly, some very bad comments about the crew gradually appeared in the outside world.

Some media reported that: "The story of "Dallas Buyers Club" involves homosexuals, transgender people, and AIDS groups, which is actually another form of discrimination.

In order to win the award, this movie will inevitably magnify and expose all the dark sides, and trigger discussions and disgust from other groups in society. This Chinese director obviously has ulterior motives..."

Once these remarks appeared, they immediately caused dissatisfaction among certain special groups under the promotion of those with ulterior motives.

The psychological defenses of these special groups are already very fragile. Now that they are forcibly broken, they directly trigger a violent chemical reaction!

That morning, not long after the crew started working, Chen Fei heard a commotion outside the studio.

However, before he could arrange someone to check the cause, he saw the head of the security department walking towards him with a gloomy face.

"Boss, a large group of people came outside. They asked the crew to stop filming immediately and apologize to them publicly."

"Huh! ?"

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking of the recent online discussion on the subject of the movie "Dallas Buyers Club", and instantly had a guess in his mind.

"Come on, take me to see it. "

He stood up from behind the monitor and walked out of the studio.

At the same time, the other main creative staff in the crew saw that there seemed to be something exciting to watch, so they all stood up and followed him out.
