Chapter 681: Too Much Praise! Will Leo Continue to Run as a Runner-Up? Being a Screenwriter Is the Right Path!

Entering the main venue of the Oscars, Chen Fei saw many familiar faces from China at a glance.

Zhang Ziyi, Li Jian, Gong Li, and Wang Jiawei, who seems to have sunglasses completely welded to his face!

"Fei!"

Li Jiancao spoke fluent English and waved enthusiastically towards Chen Fei.

Chen Fei smiled back, but did not go to their side. Instead, he went straight to the front of the venue and found Michael Mann who was entertaining.

Looking around, Chen Fei also saw several main actors.

After greeting everyone, Chen Fei briefly chatted with Michael Mann about the current status of the movie.

"In terms of box office, we have completed the return of capital. The global box office is 140 million, which is more than 4 times the investment..."

Chen Fei added at the right time: "Now the only thing left is to win the award?"

"right!"

When the word award was mentioned, it could be clearly seen that Michael Mann suddenly became nervous, as if he could not even breathe.

"Don't be too nervous. We have made a lot of efforts and I believe we will gain something."

Chen Fei comforted him a few words, then found his seat and sat down in the front row.

Oscar still gave him a lot of face, and even specially arranged Liu Yifei next to him, so the two happened to be next to each other.

As for the crew of "Nowhere", they are relatively far behind.

As time passed, there were more and more people inside the theater.

DiCaprio, who had walked the red carpet twice with "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "The Great Gatsby", also completed his entrance at this time, and came to sit next to Chen Fei.

"How are you? Are you nervous?"

Chen Fei just asked casually, but he never thought that the smile on Xiao Lizi's face suddenly froze.

He turned his head and glanced at the "Lincoln" crew not far away, and said a little depressed and entangled: "I heard some bad news, and now I just hope that the news is false."

…

Soon, as the host took the stage, tonight's Oscars ceremony officially kicked off.

Although he is used to hearing American jokes, Chen Fei is still a little indifferent. In comparison, he still likes domestic talk shows and other programs.

As for the subsequent English singing, to him it was more like listening to a hypnotic spell.

Except for Taylor Swift, who sang pretty well, everyone else was chirping and didn’t know what they were doing!

After a drowsy hour, the awards ceremony finally began.

No matter which film festival awards ceremony it is, the grand prize, as the highlight, must be announced at the end, and the first ones to appear are always those small awards.

Best live-action short, best documentary, best animated short, best music, best editing...

"Iron Man 3" is at the ceiling level among science fiction movies in terms of emotion, special effects, and box office, so it successfully won a series of secondary awards such as visuals and photography.

Most people were applauding and congratulating, and there was some silence on the Warner side.

They are all comic-book movies too. While Marvel is doing a great job, DC is sometimes ineffective. There are only a few that can compete at the box office. It’s really frustrating.

"The winner of the 86th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film is "La Pelleto" (Italy)!"

"Lost???"

Listening to the names announced by the award-winning guests on the stage, Chen Fei subconsciously turned his head and looked towards Wang Jiawei.

It can be clearly seen that Zhang Ziyi's smile has frozen on his face, and although Wang Jiawei cannot see his eyes because of his sunglasses, judging from his demeanor and movements, he is obviously very surprised.

Both of them applauded and congratulated like everyone else, but I'm afraid only they can know how they feel.

Recalling all the slogans and advertisements Zhang Ziyi posted on Weibo, Chen Fei felt inexplicably embarrassed for her.

In this wave, must Li and Fan Bingbin and their fans ridicule and destroy them?

As soon as the best foreign language film was announced, it got down to business.

"Actor, director, screenwriter, editor, photographer... He seems to be capable of everything. He is not even over 30 years old this year, but he has already become famous in the global film industry!

Golden Bear, Golden Palm, Golden Lion, Oscar, Golden Ball, Saturn... the awards he has received far exceed what most people can imagine!

Science fiction, literature, drama, magic, fantasy, epic... None of the works he created has ever tasted failure, and all of them are box office hits! "

On the stage, the award-winning guest was talking nonstop, and even raised his hands and waved when he was so emotional, as if he had seen Jesus revived.

But in the audience, Chen Fei, who was enjoying the admiration of everyone, only felt a little embarrassed.

"Stop boasting. Okay, hurry up and read your name. How long has it been taking you?"

In the midst of his prayers, finally, Spanish actress Penelope Cruz and Italian-American producer Robert De Niro announced the winners:

"The winner of the Best Adapted Screenplay Award at the 86th Academy Awards is - "Nowhere" Chen Fei!"

Warm applause resounded throughout the audience. Chen Fei remained calm, walked up to the podium with ease, and then accepted the trophy and certificate handed over by the two people.

"Thank you to the crew, the judges, and everyone who supports me. I will definitely create more and better works in the future to give back to my fans and people who like me..."

Time was limited, so Chen Fei didn't say much. He thanked him as usual and walked off the podium.

He has walked past the Oscar podium many times and has at least 10 statuettes at home.

It was just an award for Best Adapted Screenplay. It was just a small scene. There was not even the slightest ripple or fluctuation in his heart.

The only thing that surprised him was that the crew of "Nowhere" didn't win the Best Adapted Screenplay award this year, and he didn't know what the judges thought of suddenly giving him such a gift.

After walking off the stage and returning to his seat, Chen Fei handed the trophy to Liu Yifei, who was watching eagerly next to him.

Ms. Liu is actually an award junkie, but unfortunately she is an award insulator. The biggest award she received was the Saturn Award for Best Actress.

"Fei, congratulations, you won another Oscar."

Looking at the trophy being played with by Liu Yifei, Leonardo was eager to see it. He was really greedy for this thing!

"Leon, I believe you can get it too."

Chen Fei cheered him up and encouraged him, while silently wishing him good luck in his heart.

Thinking about it, if he hadn't said those things that hurt the Oscar, he would have won the Oscar by now, and he wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble.

Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor...

Two more awards were announced.

"I'm going to go there first."

Liu Yifei returned the trophy and certificate to Chen Fei, and then quickly walked backstage under the leadership of Oscar staff.

When the Best Actress Award was about to be announced, she appeared at the scene in an elegant manner as a guest of honor.

In the audience, a group of media from China were going crazy, snapping photos from all angles.

Winning an award is a symbol of strength and status, and being the presenter of an important award is also a symbol of status.

You know, the person who is presenting the Best Actress Award with Liu Yifei at this time is the previous Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey.

And this means that in the eyes of the Oscar organizing committee, the two people are equally famous!

Isn't this an affirmation?

"Cate Blanchett, 'Blue Jasmine.'"

When the actress went on stage to accept the award, Chen Fei clearly noticed that Xiao Li's legs on the side were straightened, and his whole body was shaking slightly uncontrollably.

As the actress stepped off the stage, the faces of several nominated actors and their highlights from the film appeared on the big screen.

"You must win, you must win..."

Xiao Lizi murmured in a low voice, clenching his fists, staring straight at the shining golden man on the stage like a tram madman, his eyes full of longing.

"Congratulations, the winner of the 86th Academy Awards for Best Actor is Daniel Day-Lewis' "Lincoln"!"

In an instant, Xiao Lizi's face turned pale, and he slumped down on the chair, almost slipping off.

He has been running for 20 years and has been nominated nearly 10 times, but he still failed to win the coveted statuette. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to him!

He must be strong-willed, otherwise he might go crazy on the spot!

Chen Fei stretched out his hand, helped him straighten up, and whispered comfortingly: "Leon, don't be discouraged, we still have a chance, I said, I will definitely help you get an Oscar statuette, don't you believe me?

"The Revenant" will definitely be successful, even if you have to wait in line to receive the award, it will be your turn next year..."

On the stage, Daniel Day-Lewis, an experiential actor, was delivering his acceptance speech.

For him, this award is also hard-won.

During the filming, he even asked a psychiatrist to hypnotize himself, thinking that he was Lincoln himself!

Spielberg also cooperated very well. For three and a half months, he continued to refer to the actors by their characters.

He called Sir Daniel Day-Lewis "Mr. President" (Abraham Lincoln) and Sally Field as "Mrs. Lincoln" or "Molly" (Mary Todd Lincoln).

Interestingly, during the filming, Daniel Day-Lewis even signed an international treaty in the White House studio he built, which simply engraved the image of the president deeply in his heart.

Coupled with the subject matter of this film, it can be said to be a natural award-winning film!

Spielberg had been preparing for 12 years just for this moment. In fact, Leonardo's defeat was not unfair.

On the stage, Daniel Day-Lewis's acceptance speech was almost over, and DiCaprio had regained some strength at this time.

"Don't be discouraged!"

After a few words of encouragement, Chen Fei let go of his hand, stood up and walked quickly towards the backstage.

At this Oscars, he will be the presenter for Best Director.

…

Going backstage, Chen Fei saw his partner tonight, Angelina Jolie.

"Hello, Fei."

"Long time no see, Julie."

The two simply said hello and then walked onto the podium under the guidance of the staff.

After receiving the envelope from the organizer, Chen Fei opened it himself, and then looked down at it with Angelina Jolie.

When he saw the name written on the envelope, Chen Fei smiled on his face.

Taking a step forward, he announced directly: "Congratulations to Michael Mann for winning the Best Director Award for "Nowhere"!"

"yeah!"

Accompanied by warm applause, the 71-year-old Michael Mann rushed to the podium with vigorous steps, almost trotting.

The director who has produced many high-quality works such as "Miami Vice", "The Fuse", and "Borrowing a Knife" finally won the Best Director Award he dreamed of at the age of 71!

Facing the microphone, he said eight words excitedly: "I will have no regrets in my life!"

Chen Fei smiled at the side and thought secretly: "How about letting this old man be his assistant director? Let's help film the movie "The Revenant" together? By the way, bring a younger director, so that we can It can save a lot of effort..."

…

After the Best Director Award was announced, it was finally time for the highlight of the night.

"12 Years a Slave" successfully won the award!

In the audience, Chen Fei inexplicably wanted to laugh at the Oscar judges.

This film is actually not that good, but it focuses on political correctness, and it is still in a state where if it fails to win the award, the Academy will definitely be criticized.

As a result, those old white men in the academic school were coerced into sending it to the altar.

Even if I feel very uncomfortable, even if it is very painful, I still have to swallow it with force.

At this point, the Oscars ceremony is officially over.

The subsequent dinner time became a carnival moment for many female celebrities.

In order to show the most perfect body on the red carpet today, many people have not eaten for a long time and rely solely on nutritional fluids to maintain the basic needs of the body.

Therefore, actresses can be seen everywhere at banquets holding burgers or eating high-protein and high-calorie foods.

"Fei, let's start preparing for a new play. I'm ready to spend three months in the wilderness. This time, I must get back everything I lost!"

Xiao Li Zi seemed to have suddenly figured it out, and now he became very motivated again, and even began to urge Chen Fei to film "The Revenant" quickly.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet. There are still thirteen months until the next Oscars. It's still very early..."

Chen Fei persuaded him for a while before he calmed down.

"What you need to do now is to adjust your condition first. I have already made arrangements for the crew. We will officially start filming in a week. I don't want you to lose your balance because of tonight's award ceremony."

"Don't worry, it won't happen!"

Xiao Lizi patted his chest and promised firmly.

…

When the dinner party in Hollywood officially ended, due to the time difference, it happened to be around 12 noon in China.

Not surprisingly, all the major entertainment news websites are filled with news about the Oscars!

"This year's Academy Awards ceremony came to a successful conclusion. Many domestic actors and directors attended the ceremony and won loud applause."

"The work "Nowhere" directed and written by Chen Fei won two out of five nominations, winning two awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director respectively."

"Actor Liu Yifei made a surprise appearance at the Oscars ceremony and served as the Best Actress award presenter together with the last Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey."

"Director Chen Fei serves as the presenter of the Best Director Award!"

"It is a pity that the Hong Kong film "The Grandmaster" failed to win the Best Foreign Language Film Award and ended with regret. Actor Zhang Ziyi said that she will not admit defeat and will once again charge for the Oscar."

"International movie star Leonardo once again ran for Oscar winner, but lost to Daniel Day-Lewis..."

…

Although this is already Chen Fei's countless awards, the mainland film and television industry is still a sensation!

What shocked everyone was not that he won the Best Adapted Screenplay award, but that he personally won the Oscar for Best Director!

Previously, when he promoted Ning Hao, Lu Yang, and Shen Ao to the Berlin International Film Festival, everyone was already shocked.

And now, he actually won another Oscar for director.

There is almost no need to elaborate on this level of awesomeness. Just thinking about it will make a lot of people excited!

Now that he has been able to win Oscars for Best Director, will he have the opportunity to win Oscars for these domestic people in the future and win two awards?

Almost no one thinks that Chen Fei can't do it.

Because his name alone is worth a grand prize!

Under the comment area, a group of people in the industry and outside the industry are chirping and commenting. While expressing congratulations, some people will also play tricks.

"Is it my turn next? I also want to go to the Oscars. I also want to come back with the Best Actress Award and bring glory to the country!"

"Sister Xun, you have to line up behind me. I've known Brother Fei earlier than you!"

"Stop talking, I'm flying to Los Angeles right now, and I'm going to study under my master!"

"Leonardo is so pitiful, Director Chen, can you help him win an Oscar?"

"Sissi is great! You can give an award to a best actress. Will she also become an Oscar winner in the future?"

…

At the same time, Han Jia'er, who was serving as the deputy director on the crew of "One Hundred Regiments", looked at the news about Chen Fei's award and the topics discussed by many people on the Internet, and her eyes instantly lit up:

"What a great screenwriter! Screenwriting is the way to go! You can win the Oscar for Best Director!"

She whispered excitedly and glanced at Han Sanping who was busy drawing storyboards outside. She just felt that her father was so stupid.

How tiring it is to be a director. You have to be busy with this and that every day. After making a movie, you will be several years older.

It's more comfortable to be a screenwriter. You just need to write the work and find a part-time worker to do the work. At most, you can be a producer or supervisor, so you can control the overall situation...

The more she thought about it, the more Han Ga Nyeo felt that being a screenwriter was the right thing to do!

Of course, she didn't dare to say such things in front of Han Sanping, otherwise Old Han would definitely tear her to pieces!

She plans to secretly watch it herself, and when the time comes, she will create a masterpiece that is "shocking the world and making people cry", which will definitely scare Old Han!
