Chapter 615 Oscar Changes the Rules! Initial Victory in the Battle! A Perfect Plan!
The domestic media has gone crazy, and it is completely crazy!
I think back then, countless Chinese-speaking directors had issued a clarion call to charge at the Cannes Film Festival, but in the end, the ending was more miserable than the last.
Being nominated is already something worth celebrating. If you are lucky enough to win an award such as screenwriting, director, or jury, you can at least celebrate for three days and three nights after returning to China!
But now, with Chen Fei winning the Palme d'Or twice, this mountain called "Cannes" seems to have suddenly become no longer so unattainable.
Others are still in France, but the domestic film and television industry has suddenly started a carnival feast.
Looking around, almost all celebrities and artists on Weibo retweeted the news that Chen Fei won the Palme d'Or and Cannes Best Actor, and sent him congratulations.
Especially the artists from Feiyinghuang's management company, there is an inexplicable feeling of sharing weal and woe!
If the boss is so awesome, they will have face when they go out.
Looking around, who in the entire entertainment industry dares not to give Feiyue Film and Television and Feiyinghuang Agency a little favor?
Especially as Chen Fei's achievements are getting higher and higher, his status and influence are getting bigger and bigger, and the sarcastic voices in the circle are almost nonexistent.
Although there are still some people who are cuckolding him behind his back, when they actually stand in front of him, they all act as well-behaved as quails.
In order to avoid being disturbed, Chen Fei had turned off his mobile phone in advance.
However, many people know his personal phone number.
As one of the investors of the film, Han Sanping can be said to be the most excited one!
"Into the Dust" won the Jury Prize in Berlin, and "Heart of the Sun" turned around and took home the Palme d'Or. These can be counted in his resume.
He really didn't expect that Chen Fei would bring him such a big surprise when he was about to retire!
"Okay! Good boy! I admit that I underestimated you! You have won the Palme d'Or twice, and you have blossomed in business and art. Your talent is simply unprecedented!"
Chen Fei laughed: "It's just a fluke, a fluke."
After chatting for a while, Han Sanping asked casually: "What's next? Do you have any plans? Will you continue to make Chinese films? Or go abroad to make commercial films? How about we make another co-production?"
"Maybe I'll make a commercial film."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Han Sanping immediately became interested: "What type of movie is it?"
"Action, resistance, bandit suppression, main theme."
Chen Fei briefly talked about it, but didn't go into detail. He couldn't explain clearly on the phone. He had to go back and have an interview with Han Sanping.
"How much money are you prepared to invest?"
Chen Fei knew that he was interested in big productions, so he answered in a bewitching tone: "At least 100 million. I am quite confident about this story. No surprise, it should be able to make a box office of 1 billion."
"Okay! This is good!"
Han Sanping's tone suddenly became much higher.
Chen Fei took advantage of the situation and said: "This project is a bit complicated, and I may need your support, Director Han..."
"No problem!" Han Sanping patted her chest and assured her, "I'll be waiting for you to come back at China Film. Remember, no matter how complicated it is, as long as it's a movie project, there's nothing I can't handle!"
"Haha, okay, I feel relieved with your words."
Chen Fei finally dug a hole for him: "We have to keep our word! I used to lead you to play, now it's your turn to lead me, don't play in vain."
"Don't worry, absolutely not!"
Retirement is coming soon, and Han Sanping is also paving the way for the rest of his life. Joining forces with Chen Fei is also the goal he wants to achieve.
He secretly made up his mind, this must be done beautifully!
As long as Chen Fei does not make a third-level film, even if there are some insinuations and connotations in the script, he will definitely help get the script passed.
"Let the Bullets Fly" and "Love Has an Afterlife" can be filmed, but there is no reason why Chen Fei's script cannot be filmed!
…
After being invited to attend several banquets hosted by the Cannes Film Festival, Chen Fei finally got some free time.
After returning to the hotel, he immediately opened the webpage and checked the relevant news and reports about Hollywood.
Not surprisingly, the Oscar Academy has already responded accordingly.
While the awards ceremony was going on here in Cannes, the Board of Directors of the Film Academy held a press conference at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Sidney Ganis, the current president of the Academy, announced on behalf of the Academy: “After a vote by the Academy’s Board of Governors, Harvey Weinstein’s membership in the Academy will be revoked immediately…”
This announcement caused a huge stir in Hollywood!
You know, this is the first time in the nearly century-old history of the film academy that such a situation has occurred.
Harvey can be regarded as setting a precedent.
When the media reported the relevant content of this press conference, the attention of not only North America, but also all entertainment, film and television industry practitioners around the world was attracted.
No one thought that Harvey would actually do so many things that outraged both people and gods, and even caused the old guys in the academy to change their inherent rules!
Chen Fei flipped through the news, picked up the phone and dialed Nicholson's number.
Old Jack and Woody Allen put a lot of effort into lobbying the old white men, and they can be regarded as the heroes of dealing with Harvey this time.
"Haha." As soon as the call was connected, a full-bodied laugh came out of the receiver: "Fei, we won the battle."
"Tell me more about it?" Chen Fei asked with great interest.
"Actually, it's nothing." Old Jack smoked a cigar and said slowly: "There is no one in Hollywood who doesn't mess around privately. Warren Beatty is even known to have achieved "killing a thousand people" and has slept with no less than 1,000 women.
But they are all willing, and no one would do such a despicable act as "forcing". We talked about it privately, and everyone despised Harvey's perverted operation!
The most important thing is that these old guys have daughters, granddaughters, and daughters-in-law. They can accept that their family members get on the same bed with directors and producers for roles, but they can't accept being forced to violate them..."
After so many years in Hollywood, Chen Fei still has a certain understanding of this quagmire.
Although Nicholson's words are a bit rough, the words are rough, but the truth is not rough.
It's good that this kind of scum has not been exposed, but if it is exposed, it will inevitably be attacked by everyone!
After ending the call with Nicholson, Chen Fei called Natasha again.
However, he heard bad news the next second.
"Harvey has left the police station."
"What?" Chen Fei frowned slightly: "In this situation, is there anyone who dares to bail him out?"
"No, it's not what you think." Natasha explained quickly: "He broke his head in the detention room and is currently being bandaged in a Los Angeles hospital."
"Hey, this guy is quite cruel to himself."
Chen Fei sneered, and there was no need to guess that this must be a way he came up with to get out of trouble.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei called his assistant and asked her to contact a private plane, apply for a route, and prepare to go to Los Angeles.
Since Harvey has found a way to leave the detention room, then the next step must be the moment of the final struggle.
It just so happens that "Iron Man 3" will have its world premiere at the Dolby Theater, so you can go and attend it by the way.
He has sent the script of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" to Feiyue Film and Television's editorial department by email, and they can take it to the Film Bureau for review first.
As for the subsequent preparations, let's wait until he returns to arrange them.
...
At this time, in a Los Angeles hospital.
Looking at his tightly wrapped head in the mirror, Harvey suddenly recalled the scene at the Venice Film Festival last year.
At that time, after Chen Fei drank a bottle of wine on his head, he went to the hospital and the doctor helped him wrap it like this.
Not only that, because the collision angle was too close to the top, his hair was shaved off completely.
In other words, the head wrapped in gauze has turned into a bald head!
The effect of the anesthetic has passed, and in order to avoid affecting the brain, the doctor didn't even give him a pain pump.
The place where the stitches were sutured was burning, but it was this pain that made him very conscious now!
At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and his newly hired lawyer walked in quickly.
Because he didn't know much about Harvey's past, the new lawyer was only responsible for his current troubles.
Opening the folder as a routine, the new lawyer said directly: "Mr. Weinstein, your wife Georgina Chapman has entrusted a lawyer to file a divorce lawsuit with the court..."
"Wait a minute!" Harvey interrupted with a frown: "We signed an agreement before marriage. She and I are two different individuals. Where does the divorce lawsuit come from?"
The lawyer said in a deep voice: "The problem now is that she applied to the court to freeze your multiple bank accounts and fixed assets on the grounds that the common property of the couple is unclear."
"Fuck!"
Harvey couldn't help cursing. He knew what that bitch was thinking. She just wanted to move these assets into her hands step by step by delaying time!
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and quickly added: "I still have money, I still have multiple private accounts, I can pay the salary of hiring a team of lawyers."
The new lawyer smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Mr. Weinstein, our law firm is the most professional."
Harvey felt relieved: "No matter how much it costs, I have only one request, I want to leave the police station safely, I want to get rid of all the troubles on me..."
"Mr. Weinstein!" The lawyer suddenly raised his voice and interrupted again: "The number of women who have accused you has reached 121, and they all have solid evidence.
So, I suggest you don't have beautiful ideas. All we can do now is to reduce your evidence."
"Fuck!"
Harvey suddenly couldn't hold it anymore: "These damn bitches, they obviously climbed onto my bed willingly! I didn't ask them to do anything, they took the initiative the whole time..."
The lawyer stopped interrupting him, just looked at him silently, without saying a word.
Until the end, even Harvey, who was already extremely shameless, was too embarrassed to continue.
He has been in contact with so many female stars that he has formed a special threshold.
Especially in the past few years, he has no interest in those women who actively rush to him, but he has shown great interest in other people's wives, or those actresses with strong tempers!
It is precisely because of this that the women who reported him forcibly took advantage of him, because the evidence in their hands was all true!
When the ward was completely quiet, the lawyer continued: "Someone asked me to give you a sentence. It's best not to say anything that shouldn't be said. In this way, you still have hope of reducing your sentence, otherwise..."
The lawyer didn't continue what he said, but Harvey knew it very well.
If he could keep his mouth shut, at best he would be forced to invade, and at most he would be sentenced to ten or twenty years, and he could come out to see this colorful world in his old age.
But if he can't control his mouth well, then the headline of "suicide out of fear of crime" will most likely appear in the news.
Thinking of the extremely tragic ending, he immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to say any more.
However, at this moment, he felt inexplicably emotional.
I remember when I was good, I was surrounded by good people.
But now he stepped on the air and fell into the pit. Not only did no one come to save him, but many people picked up shovels and began to fill the pit with soil.
What's particularly ironic is that those who make the shovel fly are actually the people closest to him!
After taking a deep breath, Harvey said in a deep voice: "Tell her, I can say nothing, but I ask that after the court's decision, I can find a way to reduce my sentence. It cannot exceed 8 years at most."
"Okay, I'll tell you."
The lawyer nodded, put away the folder, turned and left the ward.
On the hospital bed, Harvey touched his tightly bandaged head, feeling a little lucky in his heart.
It's just a few years in prison. As long as you can save your life and ensure that you can come out during your lifetime, everything will turn around.
…
After landing in Los Angeles, Chen Fei immediately met Bruce who came to pick him up.
After getting in the car, he asked directly: "Another day has passed. How has the situation developed now?"
Bruce replied while turning the steering wheel: "Harvey is still in the hospital, but the Los Angeles prosecutors have officially started the prosecution process. According to the news I heard, he should be sentenced to about ten years in prison."
ten years? !
When he heard this deadline, Chen Fei suddenly thought of a lot in his mind.
Ten years later, Harvey was already an old man in his seventies. Even if he was released from prison, as time passed, it was impossible for him to continue to make waves.
Bruce suddenly asked: "Do we need to continue to add fuel to the fire and get him a higher sentence?"
"No, it's not necessary." Chen Fei shook his head: "In order to prevent Harvey from jumping over the wall, Washington will not allow him to completely lose hope. We must leave him some thoughts."
Chen Fei saw clearly that the old witch Xilali was dancing so happily recently, so she must have something up her sleeve.
Although he never participated in the political struggle in the United States, he knew about "being shot eight times in the back and the judicial review deemed it a suicide." I believe Harvey also knew about it.
Bruce muttered angrily: "It's only been ten years, so he's really taken advantage of! If I look at it, he should be sentenced to death!"
"Actually, I think this is pretty good."
"ah?"
Bruce turned his head in confusion. If he remembered correctly, the first person who wanted to completely finish Harvey should be Chen Fei, right?
Now Harvey has only been sentenced to ten years, so why is it so good?
At this time, Chen Fei suddenly said with a bad smile: "Compared to killing him all at once, I would rather see him live a life worse than death!"
Bruce: "What's your plan?"
"After the verdict is handed down, we can buy a few more bars of soap for him. I think his body should be quite strong.
After the court arranges a prison for him, contact the people there and ask him to pick up soap three times from Monday to Friday, and double the amount on Saturdays and Sundays. It will be regarded as giving him welfare. "
Bruce couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"Haha, Fei, your idea is really great. I will definitely help you achieve this goal."
