Chapter 590: Warner and DC's Bold Move! Middle-Aged Handsome Man or Wild Man? Shocking Lyrics!
As expected, the news that Hidden in the Dust won the Silver Bear Award, the Grand Jury Prize at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival, quickly spread back to the mainland.
As the Grand Jury Prize Silver Bear Award, second only to the Golden Bear Award, its gold content is not ordinary, and it can be called the second grand prize of the Berlin Film Festival!
For Chen Fei, this award may be just ordinary and not worth mentioning, but for the domestic film industry, this award is simply exaggerated!
In media reports, the voice of flattery was overwhelming:
"Congratulations to Hidden in the Dust for winning the Silver Bear Award, adding another grand prize to the Chinese film industry."
"Director Shen Ao won the Berlin Silver Bear for the first time as an independent director, and his future is limitless."
"Director Chen Fei went to Berlin in person, and Feiyue Film and Television has another top director!"
In just half a day, Shen Ao, a new director who was unknown to the public, became famous in the circle and became a first-line director.
This is the power of international awards!
But if it is the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, Golden Horse, Golden Statue and the like, there is definitely not such a strong boost.
The best example is Brother Chen Kai.
He has been eating a Golden Palm for decades, and he is still eating it now!
...
When Chen Fei was preparing to return to Los Angeles the next afternoon, he went to the airport with Shen Ao, Tian Zhuangzhuang and others.
During the half-hour journey, Shen Ao answered more than a dozen calls in a row, and he had no intention of stopping at all.
In the end, Chen Fei couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him: "You must remember that from the moment you get the Silver Bear, you and some people are not on the same level.
Friendship can be maintained, but you must keep a proper distance and never be used by some people with ulterior motives."
Once a person gets better, there will be more good people around him, and there will also be many people with ulterior motives wandering around.
If you don't defend yourself from the outside, it is very likely to lead to an extremely tragic ending.
The story of the injury to Zhongyong is not fictional.
The phone rang again, Shen Ao looked down and found that it was a college classmate who had not contacted him for a long time.
Thinking back to the time when I went to Hengdian with him after graduation, looking for a job in a crew.
The other party, relying on his own good looks, hooked up with a female producer, became brilliant overnight, and successfully became the executive deputy director of a crew.
People always change.
After getting better, the poor buddy did not turn around to help him, but gradually cut off any contact with him, fearing that he would be entangled.
But what about now?
Shen Ao pressed the connect button and patiently chatted with him for a few words.
When he heard the words "Brother Ao, you are getting better now, remember me and take care of me when you have the chance", he directly cut off the call and put the other party's phone number into the blacklist.
Reality is often more cruel than imagined!
"Mr. Chen, thank you for your teachings."
Shen Ao said very seriously, and the pride and complacency in his heart because of the award instantly dissipated a lot.
The script was not written by him, and the filming was assisted by Tian Zhuangzhuang. Rather than saying that he won this award by his own strength, it is better to say that he was carried along all the way.
He was just lucky, and he knew exactly how capable he was.
Tian Zhuangzhuang added with a smile: "Stay humble, and you will go further."
...
After returning to Los Angeles, the first news Chen Fei received was that Iron Man 3 had been scheduled.
It will be released worldwide on June 6!
As the third and final film in the Iron Man series, theaters in various countries have given this film great support.
The hot summer season was directly assigned to Iron Man 3.
However, when talking to Kevin Feige, he said very seriously: "Warner has scheduled the release date of Superman: Man of Steel to June 13, which is only one week away from our Iron Man 3."
"Huo?" Chen Fei immediately became interested: "What? Is DC going to stand up? So confident?"
"They are ambitious!" Kevin Feige said in a deep voice: "I have been paying attention to DC recently. They should have taken a fancy to Marvel's huge market and want to get a piece of the pie."
Chen Fei smiled: "Oh, it's a beautiful idea. What can they use to compete with Marvel?"
Kevin Feige pondered for a moment: "According to the information I have learned, in addition to launching the Superman series, Warner has also put the filming plan of Wonder Woman on the agenda."
Chen Fei became interested: "So , are they going to learn from us? First shoot independent movies about the big guys of the Justice League? "
"No! It's not that simple!" Kevin Feige continued: "They may think this is too slow, so they decided to speed up.
The senior management of Warner Bros. has reached an agreement with DC that after "Superman: Man of Steel", Superman and Batman will appear in the same movie, and then directly launch "Justice League", taking a completely different route from "Avengers".
In other words, they will first let the six big guys of the Justice League fight collectively, and then shoot independent movies. "
"WTF?" Chen Fei was directly confused by this magical brain circuit: "Who gave them the confidence? Liang Jingru?"
Kevin Feige didn't know who Liang Jingru was, but he could understand what Chen Fei said.
"DC co-chairman Hamada and Warner's Jon Berg both believe that the six giants of the Justice League, led by Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, have huge popularity in the United States compared to the second- and third-tier comic characters in the Avengers.
Therefore, even if there is no personal movie, there will still be countless fans paying for it!"
Chen Fei curled his lips: "It's really a foolish dream. How can comic fans alone support such a large-scale commercial production?"
Kevin Feich agreed with his words: "This is also my idea, but they don't think so, and even specially found Christopher Nove as the chief producer."
Chen Fei shrugged and said in a relaxed tone: "Then let them do it themselves. After all, without the vulgarity of the opponent, how can we highlight our excellence?"
Hearing this, Kevin Feich couldn't help laughing.
DC is indeed chasing very closely, and there is Warner's support behind them, but their brain circuits are too novel, and all kinds of sexy operations are constantly coming out.
This just proves the saying that if you don't commit suicide, you won't die!
…
On the day when the Oscars ceremony was officially held, "The Mystic Nine" was completely taken off the shelves in North American theaters.
In order to welcome the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which he was very likely to win, Ning Hao turned down all his work and rushed to Los Angeles in advance.
The same was true for others.
Liu Ye, Shu Chang, etc., all put down their work and arrived in Los Angeles with Ning Hao.
They had walked the red carpets of the three major European cinemas, but it was their first time to come to the Oscars red carpet, so they were inevitably a little excited.
"Xixi, you've been in Hollywood for so long, do you know a lot of international celebrities?"
Looking at Shu Chang with a curious face, Liu Yifei didn't think much and nodded directly: "It's okay, what's wrong? What's the matter?"
"Then can you help me get a signed photo and a photo with Leonardo? I especially like his performance in "Titanic", so handsome!"
Looking at her bestie's face showing a fangirl-like expression, Liu Yifei's eyes were quite complicated: "Changchang, I have to remind you that the Jack you like has become a middle-aged man."
"I know, middle-aged handsome men are also handsome."
Because she has always been by Chen Fei's side, Liu Yifei naturally knows what kind of person Leo is.
Middle-aged handsome man?
She wanted to ask Shu Chang: "The middle-aged handsome man you are talking about, is it the one with a scruffy beard, who will cry and howl after drinking too much, and shout that he can't forget Gisele Bundchen?"
Liu Yifei opened her mouth, but she still couldn't bear to break her best friend's beautiful fantasy.
"Okay, I'll introduce you later."
Fade Chen was also listening to the conversation between the two, and was holding back his laughter.
A middle-aged handsome man?
It won't be long before he turns Leo into a middle-aged wild man!
…
After walking through the media interview area and chatting with the media reporters who came from China, the group walked into the Dolby Theater.
As soon as Fade Chen walked in, he found Leonardo standing in the lobby, chatting with Tobey Maguire.
After seeing the people coming in from the door, Tobey smiled at this side, but did not come up to say hello, but walked away.
Leo sighed and turned to greet him.
Chen Fei asked curiously: "What are you two talking about? The atmosphere seems a little wrong?"
Leonardo sighed again: "Damn Toby, he lost all his hundreds of millions of dollars playing cards, and borrowed a large sum of money from me. Jennifer Meyer is suing him and wants to divorce him..."
A long time ago, Chen Fei also worked with Toby Maguire. At that time, it was rumored in the crew that he liked playing cards very much.
But I didn't expect that he would lose all his hundreds of millions of dollars and even fall to the point of divorce!
It can be seen that gamblers are not worthy of sympathy at all!
"So, he asked you to borrow money again just now?"
"No." Leonardo shook his head: "He lost all the taxes prepared for this year. Now he is penniless and has become a pauper. He wants me to help introduce a role so that he can make some money to fill the tax hole."
In North America, you can borrow money or even rob with a gun, but you can never escape the tax deduction policy of the tax bureau!
Once you fail to pay taxes, the consequences are very serious. The late payment fee alone is a sky-high price!
The best example is Nicolas Cage. In order to make up for the tax hole, he now accepts all roles, so he has played a lot of bad movies.
Chen Fei said leisurely: "It is difficult to quit gambling addiction. If he is not determined to quit gambling, it is useless to introduce him to a few more roles."
"I know." Leonardo sighed: "But he has to live first. I can't watch him get depressed like this."
Chen Fei didn't say anything more.
For this childhood friend, Leonardo has done his best.
The reason why Tobey Maguire was able to get the role of Spider-Man was due to Leonardo's strong recommendation. Unfortunately, he is like a helpless Adou, who made his life a mess.
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Leonardo's mood soon improved, and he stepped forward and hugged Chen Fei's shoulders: "I will be the presenter of the Best Director award tonight, and I wish you in advance..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Chen Fei quickly stopped what he was saying: "Opening champagne at halftime is not allowed. When you win the award, you can congratulate me again."
In order to prevent this guy from continuing to speak arrogantly, Chen Fei decided to give him a little more strength.
"By the way, how have you been practicing these days? We have to leave after the Oscars."
"Not bad, my physical strength has increased a lot." As he said that, Leonardo couldn't help but be curious: "You haven't told me yet, where should we go next?"
"Antarctica, seven days of extreme survival in the wild."
"Fake!" Leonardo swore directly: "Fei, are you kidding me?"
He was obviously frightened, so he quickly let go of Chen Fei's shoulder and took several steps back.
Chen Fei shrugged: "You personally promised me that you wanted to change your impression in the eyes of the judges. What could be more appropriate than to completely let yourself go?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lizi was stunned again.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Will this help me win an Oscar?"
"It can increase the success rate by at least 60%. Then I will prepare a script for you, which may increase the success rate to more than 90%."
Hearing this, Xiao Lizi fell into deep thought again.
It's just an Oscar statuette. Is it worth such a big sacrifice?
As soon as the question came to mind, the answer came to me instantly!
worth!
worth!
He has been nominated several times in succession, but all of them failed, which has made him obsessed with Oscar.
No matter what, you must get a statuette back in your lifetime to prove yourself!
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
At this moment, Xiao Lizi's eyes were full of perseverance!
…
After arranging for Shu Chang to take a photo with Leonardo, Chen Fei led a group of people to the location designated by the organizer.
As an Oscar winner, his position is naturally in the front row.
Behind him are the crews of "Dallas Buyers Club", "Interstellar", and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
Not long after everyone sat down, they heard a burst of "dang-dang-dang" music, which also meant that the Oscars ceremony had officially begun.
The host who walked onto the stage had a mean smile on his face.
Chen Fei knows this guy, Seth MacFarlane, the voice actor of Pete in "Family Guy".
It's a pity that he doesn't have those two iconic balls on his face.
However, regret soon turned into surprise!
This guy is well-known throughout North America for his prank style. Oscar invited him here this time, probably to increase ratings.
And in order to live up to his expectations, at this Oscars ceremony, he actually chose to...sing.
It's just that the lyrics are too "shocking"!
Accompanied by dynamic music, he pointed to the place where the most famous female stars were concentrated in the audience, and sang the first lyrics: "We have seen your secrets, we have seen your secrets in the movies we watched..."
Immediately afterwards, there is a large section of movie fans' guide to watching movies.
“Meryl Streep’s was in Silkwood, Naomi Watts was in Mulholland Drive, Halle Berry was in Us "As seen in "Eyes Wide Shut", Nicole Kidman is in "The Wrestler" and Marisa Tomei is in "The Wrestler."
We saw Kristen Stewart in "On the Road", Charlize Theron in "The Devil", Helen Hunt in "Intimate Therapy", but we have never seen Jennifer Lawrence's secret. …”
It is no exaggeration to say that he sang the lyrics about "secret" to all the prominent Hollywood female stars present.
The ones who got shot the most were the famous actresses who acted the craziest.
"Kate Winslet is in "The Angel of Sin" and "Jude the Obscure", as well as "Hamlet", "Titanic", "Hand in Hand", "Motherhood", "The Reader"..."
As the queen of the art department among Oscar-winning actresses, Pang Wen is indeed a fierce one.
Among so many female celebrities, she is considered the craziest one, and she has the feeling that she can't live without being crazy.
At the same time, as Seth MacFarlane continued to sing, the atmosphere was like a dynamite barrel being ignited, extremely enthusiastic!
Although many female stars at the movie queen level clearly showed dissatisfaction, they were not yet in a state of losing their minds and getting up to confront him.
And then, when a choir from the "LGBT" community came on stage and sang the song again with him, the atmosphere at the scene was simply unbelievably warm!
No matter how bad the mood of those named below was, the effect and ratings of the opening program were immediately filled!
"What the hell? Is this such a big deal?"
Ning Hao's voice came from behind Chen Fei, his tone full of shock.
He really didn't expect that when he attended the Oscars for the first time, he would encounter such a "shocking" opening program.
Shu Chang and Liu Yifei also had their eyes widened at this time, with disbelief on their faces.
Fortunately, this is North America. If this were done in the Mainland, whoever dared to sing this kind of song would, quite literally, be banned by the entire film and television industry that night!
No matter how dirty the mainland female celebrities act behind their backs, they always look high-profile to the outside world.
If anyone dares to insult them like this, it will inevitably evolve into a situation of "life and death enemies"!
Chen Fei smiled and responded casually: "It's due to national conditions, it's normal."
Just like the film rating system cannot be promoted in China, the Chinese are relatively conservative and cannot accept such open behavior at all.
Hearing Chen Fei's words, several people secretly sighed in their hearts and did not say anything more.
The song officially ended, and there was laughter, applause, cheers, shouts, and even whistles!
It was not until the Oscar statuette was officially distributed that it was restrained.
