Chapter 303
To put it bluntly, Zhong Lifang is now almost certain to leave Pony.

Xiao Ma can't tolerate her anymore. Brother Big Dog is a person who values ​​affection. He was very discouraged by Zhong Lifang's departure. When he asked her where she was going in the future, she only said, "We need to rest for a while."

Brother Big Dog didn't make it difficult for her, as long as she stood on the last post.

Discussing with Cheng Yu'an today about the investment in "Iron Armor and Steel Fist" may be the last thing Zhong Lifang will do for Pony.

"Brother Big Dog, Sister Fang." Cheng Yu'an came a little later, "Sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road."

"It's okay, we just arrived." Brother Big Dog poured a glass of water for Cheng Yu'an, and then said to his secretary, "Come on, take this little brother to eat something and have a rest."

It was Cheng Yuan's assistant.

Now that there were no outsiders, Cheng Yuan took a sip of tea, only to hear Brother Big Dog say: "I am a straightforward person, Director Cheng, and I always speak up when I have something to say."

Cheng Yu'an said with a smile: "It's good to be straightforward, I also hate those old fritters who talk around the bush."

Brother Big Dog smiled heartily: "Everyone is a straightforward person, so I'll just say it straight. "Iron Armor and Steel Fist" hopes that Director Cheng will consider our pony."

Cheng Yu'an said: "I came out of China Film in the morning, and Director Han also meant the same thing."

"We don't want to compete with Director Han, we only need one copy." Xiao Ma is preparing for the second round of financing and needs good news.

"It's very difficult for me to deal with it, and there is not much in total. It is divided up and divided, and each family can't get much."

There was only 5000 million shares, and Cheng Yu'an offered 2000 million for half, which was a very generous price, and he would take 2000% of the [-] million if he met a black hand.

Zhong Lifang continued: "Xiao Ma's qualifications and strength, we don't need to tell Director Cheng to know it. We don't want much, Xiao Ma will offer 1500 million US dollars, of which 1000 million US dollars will be used as sponsorship fees, not included in the investment share , the other 500 million we only get fixed income."

Cheng Yu'an nodded, and pondered for a while, Xiao Ma's posture was very low.

Give 1500 million, only 500 million is considered an investment, and you can get fixed income.

Cheng Yu'an returned 600 million to Xiao Ma symbolically, and earned 900 million for himself, and then the project "Iron Armor and Steel Fist" has nothing to do with Xiao Ma.

But Cheng Yu'an still said that he had to think about it.

Brother Big Dog smiled and said, "I know Director Cheng is busy, so I understand the reason for shopping around, so I won't bother Director Cheng, let's go back first."

After talking with Xiao Ma, Cheng Yu'an went home to rest, and made an appointment with Hua Yi later.

Cheng Yu'an and his girlfriend watched the Academy Awards ceremony at home.

Before the awards ceremony, all the guests and audience stood up to pay tribute to the victims of the Yushu earthquake.

Then came the awards, starting with Best Newcomer.

The finalists are Chen Fala, Li Yuchun, Zhu Xuan, Li Zhiting and Zhong Shaotu.

"The Thief of Time" was shortlisted for two, and the attribution of this award is too obvious.

The award presenter was Zeng Zhiwei, who procrastinatedly handed the trophy to Li Zhiting.

"His acting skills are average," Cheng Yu'an commented while watching, "It can be used, but it can't hold up. His performance in "The Thief of Time" is really good."

Then the New Director Award was given to Zhang Jingwei.

Liu Yifei asked him: "Didn't you receive an invitation from the Academy Awards to be an award presenter? Why didn't you go?"

"Unless they give me the best picture and best director, I will lose my reputation by taking "The Martian". If you don't mention me, Lingfeng will not agree to go."

"Are they so xenophobic?" Liu Yifei certainly felt that her man's movie deserved the best picture and best director.

"Wen Jun was fine in the years when he was chairman, but he has become more and more xenophobic in recent years." The decline of Hong Kong films and the decline of the Hong Kong Film Awards can't be finished in three days and three nights.

The best photography award was presented later, and the guests who drew the prize were Du Wenze and Tian Ruini.

"Will Ran Qiu win the award?" "The Martian" was undoubtedly shortlisted for best photography.

Cheng Yu'an said: "It's very possible, it depends on whether the judges give us this opportunity."

Sure enough, the two couples took the stage to talk about "The Martian":
"I watched "The Martian", and it's great." The camera also showed Qin Ranqiu and Chen Zhixi sitting in the audience, "The global box office is 10 billion, let's give some applause."

The couple continued to joke on stage, and finally the best photography award went to Huang Yuetai from "October Besieged City".

The director cut the camera to Qin Ranqiu, who smiled stiffly and applauded.

Cheng Yu'an in front of the TV wanted to laugh: "He can't even pretend."

"I wouldn't be happy to change anyone. The scenes of "The Martian" are all made like that, and it still lost to "October Siege." Liu Yifei was also upset for her friend.

In the middle, the Best Editing, Best Supporting Actress and Best Sound Effects were awarded.

In addition to the best female supporting role which was given to Ye Xuan, the best editing went to "Eavesdropping", and the best sound effect, "The Martian" lost to "Chibi 2".
It is worth mentioning that the best sound effect award is awarded to the top two of Tianting Yanzhong.

Cheng Yuan had an idea: "What movie is Yuanyuan filming now?"

After the two awarded the best sound effects, they continued to award the best visual effects.

The two made a joke about the 3D effect on stage, just to catch the heat. This year, "Avatar" became popular in 3D.

Check out the shortlist:
"October Siege"

"Rebirth"

"Red Cliff 2"

"Fengyun II"

Cyborg

"The Martian"

After the shortlisted short film finished playing, Ruan Jingtian didn't hesitate, and directly opened the card in his hand: "The best visual effect, the winner is "The Martian" Qin Ranqiu."

"Yeah! I won the prize!" Liu Yifei was happier than Qin Ranqiu.

Cheng Yu'an watched and shook his head. When Ruan Jingtian announced that Qin Ranqiu had won the award, the camera panned over, and the expressions of all the Hong Kong filmmakers in the audience were dull.

Applause is also very mechanical.

Qin Ranqiu stepped onto the stage to accept the award, shook hands with Ruan Jingtian, and took the trophy from him.

"Thank you for the Golden Statue Award, director Cheng Yu'an, my wife Zhixi, and the nearly 3000 partners in the art and special effects team of "The Martian" for their support. I only did a little work, thank you everyone." stepped down.

"The words are well written." Cheng Yu'an said with a smile.

The following awards have nothing to do with "The Martian". The best director, best film, best supporting actor, best art direction, best costume design, best action design and best original music are all given to "October Besieged City", 15 of 8 mentions.

I won't act anymore.

Cheng Yu'an planned to leave after watching the award ceremony, and said before leaving, "You should watch the news tomorrow to see what will be scolded for this year's Golden Statue Awards."

Liu Yifei also felt that this year was too outrageous: "It's too stingy. We won the visual effects award for the mainland crew, and the other crews were wiped out. If we continue to play like this, no one will go to them in the future."

Liu Yifei did not forget to complain at the end: "There are not even many mainlanders who present the awards."

"Where are you going so late?" Liu Yifei asked.

"I have an appointment with Wang Zhonglei for supper, don't wait for me, go to bed first." Cheng Yu'an hugged Liu Yifei and kissed him goodbye.
