my superstar girlfriend

Chapter 494
Whether it's the Golden Dragon Award or the Oscar, Mu Chen doesn't need these awards to prove his talent, nor does he need these awards to promote his film and television career.

No one will take him lightly for not being nominated for an award.

His talent in film has been recognized worldwide.

Even if Scorsese and others criticize those superhero movies, when it comes to Mu Chen, he will deny his talent. At most, he can say that his current path is going further and further away, wasting his talent.

"Are you the guest presenter for the best director?"

Li Ruoxi looked at Mu Chen and asked with a smile.

"That's right, didn't you already know about it?" Mu Chen was stunned for a moment and said.

"It's very interesting that there is one person shortlisted for the best director this year!" Li Ruoxi said.

Mu Chen is so clever that he guessed who Li Ruoxi was talking about in an instant.

"You wouldn't say it was the great Hollywood director Scorsese?" Mu Chen shook his head and said.

Scorsese is one of Hollywood's top directors. This year, he participated in the Golden Dragon Awards with his own work, and was shortlisted for several awards, including Best Director.

Mu Chen has never seen his work, but feels that Scorsese is very likely to win the award.

It would be very interesting if he won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director and Mu Chen presented him with the award.

Scorsese's initial criticism of Mu Chen's superhero movie caused an uproar all over the world.

"You said Director Zhang invited you to be the award presenter for the best director, would you intend to let you present the award to Scorsese?" Li Ruoxi continued.

"Probably not!" Mu Chen said, but his confidence was obviously lacking.

Scorsese slammed Mu Chen's superhero movie, but Mu Chen had no complaints about it.

This is not a personal grievance, it's just that the film concept is different.

At least, that's what Scorsese is showing right now.

When he criticizes superhero movies, there is no conflict of interest.

"If he really wins the award, do you think he will criticize your superhero movies in front of you?" Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

"Probably not." Mu Chen shook his head and said, "He took his work to participate in the Golden Dragon Award, isn't it just for the Chinese film market? If he criticizes me, isn't he conscious of my fans?"

Mu Chen's influence in the Chinese market is astonishing.

This point, who does not know.

Scorsese's level of directing is beyond doubt.

He is fully capable of winning the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director.

And as the first top director to participate in the Golden Dragon Award, the Golden Dragon Award jury will definitely consider it, such as attracting a lot of money to buy a horse bone or something.

"That's not necessarily true." Li Ruoxi said, "If he really cared about your fans, he wouldn't have criticized those superhero movies in front of so many media. The fans of those superhero movies are no less than your fans."

"If he really criticized those superhero movies in front of you, what would you do?" Li Ruoxi then asked.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Mu Chen shook his head and said, "He may not be able to win the prize."

There is still a period of time before the Golden Dragon Awards ceremony, and "Fuxi", a film with an impressive nomination for awards, has landed in North America and other regions.

The box office performance wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either.

The box office in North America on the first day was more than 2000 million US dollars. Although it was not as good as Mu Chen's movies or those superhero movies, it was considered very good among many Chinese-language movies.

And the reputation of this film abroad is also very good.

Perhaps, the single-day box office can rise a bit as word-of-mouth ferments.

As for whether it can reach the foreign box office of "Zhuolu", it is a bit difficult to say.

"Both "Transformers 2" and "Invincible Hulk 2" are scheduled to be released in summer?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen and said.

"You can figure it out!" Mu Chen said with a smile.

Chen Fuhai's grasp of the film market is undoubtedly extremely good.The film schedule, when is the most suitable time, and there are very few times when it is missed.

Both "Transformers 2" and "The Incredible Hulk 2" are very suitable for summer vacation.

After all, the main fan base of these two films is young people.

What young people focus on is naturally students.

"What about Lao Yu's movie?" Chen Fuhai said, "If your movie can't catch up with the Spring Festival, then arrange his movie."

The second part of Yu Yun's "Journey to the West" has already been done in the later stage.

This film has a huge audience in China, and it is suitable for the Spring Festival to be released.

"My movie is not suitable for the Spring Festival." Mu Chen shook his head and said, "There are some unspoken rules, we'd better not break them."

What unspoken rules?

National Day and Spring Festival files do not show foreign blockbusters.

Although there is no express regulation, it is the default of major film and television companies.

Mu Chen's film is a pure Hollywood film. Although it was produced by him, it is not a Chinese film, and it is indeed not suitable for release during the Spring Festival.

"What about Marin's movie?" Chen Fuhai asked immediately.

"The filming hasn't started yet, so it's hard to say how it will be. Whether it's suitable for the Spring Festival release, no one can say for sure." Mu Chen thought for a while and said.

It is not difficult to guess the meaning of Chen Fuhai's question.

If Ma Lin's movie is in time for the Spring Festival, then Yu Yun's movie can be released earlier, such as on National Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, or Christmas and New Year's Day.

If a film is pressed for too long, it is not a good thing.

Of course, Chenxi Film and Television has a lot of money, and it's not for the return of funds.

Afterwards, Chen Fuhai and Mu Chen discussed some companies' plans for this year.

Mu Chen is about to go to Hollywood and will stay for a long time, so there are some things that need to be discussed in advance.

In fact, rather than talking about it, it might be better to say that Chen Fuhai was talking and Mu Chen was listening.

This has been the case for years.

It's just that it was divided into several times before, but this time it's all said in one brain.

Soon, the Golden Dragon Awards ceremony will arrive.

However, "Fuxi", which has been released in China for more than a month, has gradually been drawn down, and the domestic box office has exceeded 30 billion, which has reached expectations.

Such a box office has naturally become the biggest winner of the Spring Festival stalls.

And some foreign countries and regions have also begun to paint.

The box office in North America has reached nearly [-] million U.S. dollars, and it is estimated that it will break the [-] million mark when it is released. In Europe, Southeast Asia and other regions, the cumulative total box office has also exceeded [-] million U.S. dollars.

The global box office is estimated to exceed [-] million U.S. dollars, so the box office is extremely good.

Chenxi Film and Television naturally made a lot of profits from this film.

Of course, compared to those superhero movies, it is much worse.

On the red carpet of the Golden Dragon Awards, it can be said that the stars are shining brightly.

There are also many foreign stars.

I have to admit that since Zhang Gang dominated the Golden Dragon Awards, his international influence has grown.

This can be seen from the fact that top Hollywood directors like Scorsese all bring their works to participate.

Of course, the biggest reason is that the potential of the Chinese film market has gradually exploded.

This is the same as why many domestic artworks like to go to the Cannes and Willis Film Festivals.

There may be a reason for this award.

But in Mu Chen's view, he is more interested in foreign markets.

Participating in those film festivals is probably to sell film rights.

Mu Chen did not walk the red carpet with the crew of "Guardians of the Galaxy", but with Li Ruoxi.

Li Ruoxi was not shortlisted for any awards, but she was also invited to be an award presenter.

What's more, no works were shortlisted, and no guests were invited to be the award presenters. Isn't it the same that many celebrities came to participate in the Golden Dragon Awards?

It's not about rubbing the red carpet, and Li Ruoxi doesn't need to rub the red carpet.

After all, the Golden Dragon Award is a grand event for Chinese-language films. As a Chinese filmmaker, it is naturally not to be missed.

As always, the awards are awarded from those with low weight, or low attention.

Of course, the order has changed somewhat.

"Guardians of the Galaxy" was nominated for Best Costume Design and Best Visual Effects.

Unfortunately, the grain failed.

Mu Chen was not surprised by this.

Best Costume Design went to Fu Xi, as did Best Visual Effects.

It has to be said that "Fu Xi" got off to a good start, and so did Chenxi Film and Television.

The best action design was won by "Terracotta Warriors".

Over the years, the best action and best visual effects have almost all been covered by the movies produced by Chenxi Film and Television.

Subsequently, "Fuxi" won the best cinematography, and "Terracotta Warriors" won the best screenplay.

Yu Yun's "Mage" is also fruitless.

After that, the films produced by Chenxi Film and Television were not shortlisted for awards.

The further you get to the back, the heavier the award.

Best Actress, Li Ruoxi served as the award presenter, but Chenxi Film and Television did not have any works shortlisted.

And then the best actor, Huang Yao was shortlisted, but failed to win the award.

After Best Foreign Language Film, Mu Chen took the stage.

The award presenter who partnered with him was an old movie queen, now in her seventies, but still active on the screen.

The two award presenters chatted briefly, and then the best director nominee appeared on the big screen.

Except Marin, Feng Yi, Scorsese and another Chinese director.

The director is not well-known, but he is not a newcomer either, but most of his art films are not well-known.His popularity is naturally not high.

"International practice, ask your partner first." Mu Chen said with a smile, "Mr. Xue, who do you think will win the best director this year?"

"I think it's useless!" The old actress smiled.

When Mu Chen heard this, he was taken aback.

But many people in the audience couldn't help laughing.

"Why do I feel that this word is very familiar!" Mu Chen said with a smile.

Isn't this what he often says when dealing with reporters and outfield hosts?
"It's really useless!" Mu Chen continued, "Because we already know the result."

"Then let's announce it directly?" The old actress smiled and said, "You are one of the best directors in the world, so it's perfect for you to announce it!"

"You are an old man, you should come!" Mu Chen said with a smile.

"Then I'll come!" The old movie queen was not so polite, and said immediately, "Today, many foreign friends came here, so let me speak, and you will translate. I don't know foreign languages, old lady."

As soon as the old movie queen said this, Ma Lin, Feng Yi and others' faces instantly flashed with disappointment.

They guessed a bit.

Sure enough, as they guessed.

"Best Director: Scorsese for Dawn."
