Light and shadow player

Chapter 850

The four wind vanes of the Oscars, in order of award presentation, are: Golden Globe Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, Critics' Choice Awards and BAFTA Awards.

"Three Billboards" has already won the Golden Globe Award. With Cheng Yu'an's relationship with the British film industry, the BAFTA Award should be no problem.

But "The Shape of Water" took advantage of the political correctness, biting "Three Billboards" very tightly in various awards, and it is hard to say whether it will win or lose.

This year, a major film company has two films going to the Olympics, and another one from an animation company called "Coco"-the performance is still strong at the forefront.

A major animation company has won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film for three consecutive years, "Big Hero [-]", "Inside Out" and "Zootopia". record.

A major film company and animation company is now the object of cooperation with Hollywood powerhouses.

However, many capital predators have already set their sights on these two companies.

Comcast, the parent company of Universal, successfully acquired a 1.27% stake in a major film company held by James Wan.

This part of shares was given to Wen Ziren and his "Chain Saw" series by Cheng Yu'an when he founded the company.

Wen Ziren cashed in more than [-] million US dollars. He is a senior partner of the company and still has a lot of shares in his hand. Comcast also successfully obtained a seat on the board of directors of a major film company.

But Cheng Yu'an still maintains absolute control over the company.

As for the animation company, the price of in-depth cooperation with Disney is that Cheng Yu'an mortgaged 2.77% of the shares to obtain Disney's strategic investment of 3 million US dollars in three years.

Disney also wanted to acquire the shares that the animation company sold to the other party when it cooperated with Universal before, but Universal did not sell it.

However, the turning point came on Monday the 22nd.

On this day, "Three Billboards" won three awards for Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Ensemble at the 24th Screen Actors Guild Awards-the Screen Actors Guild did not have the Best Picture Award-for its own Oscar The journey adds another important weight.

On this day, relevant officials of the U.S. government delivered a speech, mentioning the need to defend the status of American culture in the world, and specifically mentioned film culture: "The United States welcomes film artists from all over the world, but in the past ten years, we have It is sad to find that the authority of American movies is being lost, and we have to consider whether Hollywood can continue to uphold traditional American values. The United States is being infiltrated by foreign forces, and the United States is losing its own cultural advantages. Hollywood must see people from across the ocean threat."

The new U.S. government and Hollywood have been at odds with each other, and the two sides have fought more than one or two rounds.

If you only say the first sentence, it is just a daily bickering between the government and Hollywood, but the last sentence makes people have to doubt its specific intention.

What is "threat from the other side of the ocean"?
Among the major Hollywood studios today, there is only one major film company "from the other side of the ocean".

Critics can easily relate to China.

However, Cheng Yu'an was not the only suspect.

Wanda owns AMC and Legendary Pictures, Fosun International has Studio 8, Ahri Films invested in Spielberg’s Amblin Films...

They are all "threats from across the ocean" in this speech.

However, this speech has alerted domestic investors, wondering whether the US government intends to strictly control film investment and exchanges between China and the United States.

But soon, the "Hollywood Reporter" published a special commentary to refute the "threat from the other side of the ocean", saying: "The reason why Hollywood has always maintained its vitality is precisely because it widely accepts film artists from all over the world. Collision here, this is the spark of light and shadow, not the so-called 'threat'. Politicians try to control everything, but this group of professional bureaucrats don't understand movies, and they don't want to give movies a free creative environment. Especially a talk show that doesn't understand anything Clown, does he know what art is? What is the spirit without borders? Maybe his six-foot-tall model daughter knows a little better.

"He doesn't need movies, he only needs golden retrievers and big nai."

Hollywood is not polite at all when it comes to its own president.

After the report was published, the U.S. government did not respond, as if it hadn't said what it said before.

However, Cheng Yu'an still sensitively sensed that something was wrong.

After the show the next night, I checked the time. Cheng Lingfeng should still be resting. He didn't bother, but just sent an email to Cheng Lingfeng's mailbox, asking her to prepare something for him.

The email was very detailed, and Cheng Yu'an said at the end: "Prepare as soon as possible, I will come over as soon as I finish filming "Mulan."

It was early morning after sending the email, and Cheng Yu'an didn't take a break, and was still writing something in front of the computer.

It wasn't until 2 o'clock that Liu Yifei got up to take her daughter to pee, only to find that her husband was not by her pillow.After settling her daughter to sleep, Liu Yifei came out, saw that the light in the study room was still on, and walked in.

"It's so late, I still don't sleep."

"There's still something to finish, you go to bed first, tomorrow morning show." Cheng Yu'an never took his eyes off the computer screen, still thinking about what to write later.

"You still know that tomorrow is the morning show, and you, the director, are still awake." Liu Yifei took a cup of hot water and put it in Cheng Yu'an's hand, "What are you writing?"

Liu Yifei sat beside her husband and looked over her head.

"I have some inspiration, write it down while you still remember it." Cheng Yu'an laughed.

His wife came to urge him, he knew that Liu Yifei would not leave if he did not sleep, so he saved the file, turned off the computer, and went out to sleep with Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei suddenly asked: "How long has Qi Qi been on the set?"

"More than two months or three months."

"Husband~" Tired to death.

"You're going to die, it's late at night." Cheng Yu'an knew what Liu Yifei wanted to do as soon as he heard these two words.

"Qiqi is asleep, and you haven't made out with me properly in the past two or three months."

The sound insulation of a luxury hotel is good. The couple spent more than an hour in the living room of the suite. Liu Yifei could control the sound at first, but after setting off fireworks once, she couldn't control it anymore, and she didn't wake up her daughter who was sleeping in the bedroom.

The two of them are under a lot of pressure when filming, and having fun like this really helps to relax their spirits.

The next day, it was my daughter who got up the earliest.

The daughter first woke up Liu Yifei: "Eat, hungry."

"Ask Sister Cindy to take you to have breakfast, okay?" Liu Yifei was so sleepy now that she couldn't open her eyes, she took out her mobile phone and weakly called the assistant, asking her to pick up her daughter, "By the way, tell the crew to start work later today, Director Cheng I was busy until three or four in the middle of the night before going to bed."

After Cindy picked up her daughter, no one bothered the couple to sleep late.

The two slept irresponsibly until almost noon before waking up. After getting up, Liu Yifei ate again in the bathroom before releasing Cheng Yu'an.

"I've been on the set for more than ten years and have never been late, you!" Cheng Yu'an scolded his wife.

"This is what makes a hero feel sad about a beauty. With a wife like me, the emperor will not go to court early." Liu Yifei laughed.

Her husband's performance made him very satisfied. They have been together for almost 10 years, at least physically, Cheng Yu'an is still very obsessed with herself, which makes her feel very proud.

Cheng Yu'an slapped her buttocks: "Don't be poor, hurry up and leave."
