my superstar girlfriend

Chapter 498
It may be a long process to determine the actors of a movie.

Perhaps, soon.

It's about the film and the director.

The male lead of Mu Chen's new film was quickly determined, but what surprised many people was that he didn't use those so-called big names, but chose a newcomer.

A handsome newcomer.

There is a feeling of western fresh meat.

Perhaps it was influenced by the original version of the film, or perhaps it was the charm of the actors themselves.

The moment Mu Chen saw the actor, he was sure: This is the actor he was looking for.

And when the actor showed that his acting skills were okay, he immediately settled down.

Yes, that actor's acting skills are just okay.Compared with those famous stars, they seem a little immature.

It's not bad, but it shows his talent.

As a director, Mu Chen is an excellent director, he has the confidence to make this actor meet his requirements.

Acting skills can be guided and improved, but the image and temperament cannot be compensated by acting skills.

The male lead was quickly determined, but the female lead was still undecided. Until the Oscars came, there was still no suitable one.

This year's Oscars, Mu Chen didn't have any work shortlisted, but "Fuxi" was shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film, Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects.

Mu Chen is the producer of this film.

Of course, Mu Chen was invited to participate not because of this film, but because he wanted to be the presenter of this Oscar's Best Screenplay Award.

He is now the filmmaker with the most Oscars for Best Screenplay.

Of course, he is also the filmmaker who has won the most Oscars for best soundtrack.

On the red carpet of this year's Oscars, besides Mu Chen, there were naturally many actors from "Fu Xi".

There are more and more foreign filmmakers on the red carpet of the Golden Dragon Awards, and more and more Chinese filmmakers on the red carpet of the Oscars.

Chinese filmmakers are gradually going international.

"I don't know when Dao Mu became so popular."

Feng Yi looked at Mu Chen who was surrounded by countless Hollywood celebrities not far away, and said with a little sigh.

He knew that Mu Chen was also very popular abroad, and he was also a very popular director in Hollywood.I just didn't expect it to be so high.

As soon as he entered the venue, he was surrounded by countless people.

If they had cooperated with Mu Chen, it would be understandable.

No!

"Then you have to work hard." Huang Yao said with a smile.

Does Feng Yi have this potential?

This is hard to say.

Feng Yi is a very talented and capable director, but compared to Mu Chen, he is a bit behind.

How many popular works does Mu Chen have all over the world?And Feng Yiman only made four movies after all his plans, one big online movie, and "Transformers 2" which has not yet been released.

"Those people surrounded him. That's because the heroine and other supporting roles in his new film have not yet been decided, except for the male lead. Most of those people recommended themselves." Harvey said with a smile.

Self-recommendation is only useful, but it is also good to impress Mu Chen.

I didn't have a chance to cooperate this time, maybe next time I will have a chance?

Mu Chen is not only a director, but also the boss of Dream Films.

Harvey knew Feng Yi and Huang Yao well, not that they knew each other very well, but they could chat for a while.

And he also spoke Chinese, but a little jerky and not so proficient.

There's nothing wrong with communicating with people, though.

His spoken language is not good, but his hearing is still excellent.

Harvey only started to learn Chinese after Mu Chen bought Dream Films.

Although he is not young, his learning ability is still good.

Mu Chen was a little helpless at this time, dealing with those people, but he wasn't impatient at all.

This is out of courtesy.

The people around finally got away, and Mu Chen walked towards Feng Yi and the others.

I just didn't want to, and I met Scorsese head-on.

This old man has been having a hard time recently.

"Dawn" hit the street, but its influence on him was not small.

After all, Hollywood film and television companies still pay more attention to the box office of movies.

"Humph!"

Scorsese snorted coldly, his temper was just like that, otherwise he wouldn't have fired at Mu Chen on the Golden Dragon Awards podium.

When meeting Mu Chen at this time, he would naturally not give him a good look.

Even if he knew about it, he couldn't blame Mu Chen.

Mu Chen shook his head and smiled, too lazy to argue with him.

"'Dawn' hit the market, and the investor of a movie he had talked about withdrew the money." Harvey looked at Scorsese where you went, and said.

When Mu Chen heard this, he smiled, not surprised.

With so many fans boycotting his films, which investor would not be frightened.

Such a well-received film as "Dawn" suffered a disastrous loss, who would dare to invest in his film?
Or who is willing to invest in his movies.

Who knows if fans of his next film will boycott it.

Which investor is willing to take this risk?

After all, they could have invested in someone else's film besides Scorsese.

For a director, without an investor, his career as a director basically fell to the bottom.

Not all directors can invest in themselves.

Mu Chen doesn't mind whether Scorsese will hate himself for this.

He was looking not far away at this time, and a person was walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"Hey, isn't this director Mu Da? Didn't you have no works shortlisted this year? What, you're also reduced to come here to rub the red carpet?"

As soon as the man walked in, he said with a smile.

Full of sarcasm, undisguised.

Mu Chen smiled, looked at James Faulkdo, and said, "I've made a few decent movies anyway. It's not like someone tsk tsk! It's surprising that you appear here!"

"Sorry." James said proudly, "The film I invested in was shortlisted."

"I invested in it!" Mu Chen chuckled and said, "I thought you directed it, or you starred in it? Could it be that the movie I invested in wasn't shortlisted?"

Hemp egg!

James reacted, he forgot about it.

He subconsciously thought that "Guardians of the Galaxy" directed by Mu Chen hadn't been nominated for an award, so he couldn't help but come over and mock.

Looking at the smiles of the people around, there is no sarcasm anywhere.

The Chinese film "Fu Xi" was invested by Mu Chen and is also its producer. This time, it was shortlisted for three awards.

Dream Films also had a film shortlisted, and the weight and number of awards were no worse than the film he invested in.

He came here to mock Mu Chen, didn't he bring shame on himself?
"Where did you get the confidence to come to me?" Mu Chen continued, "Brain is a good thing, isn't it?"

Mu Chen looked at James, still a little surprised.

This guy is definitely a smart person, but this move is a bit off IQ.

Is he mocking me for being stupid?
James' face suddenly darkened.

"puff!"

Harvey next to him couldn't help laughing.

Since I couldn't hold it back, I didn't care about it, and then I laughed happily.

Of course, not laughing, just not hiding it.

Harvey naturally doesn't care about offending James.

To put it bluntly, so what if I offend you?
What's more, he is the general manager of Dream Films, and because of Mu Chen's relationship, he and James are in a hostile state.

"Humph!"

James snorted, then glared at Mu Chen, turned and left.

Shame!
"He opened a film and television company by himself, and "Contract Lover" was filmed and produced by his company." Harvey said, "This year, he was shortlisted for four Oscars including Best Picture."

"Contract Lover"?
Although Mu Chen has never seen this film, he has heard of it.

The North American box office seems to be good, but it has not yet been released in China.

Now it seems that the difficulty of releasing it in China will undoubtedly increase.

"Late knowing." Harvey shook his head and said, "If you know it in advance, it's okay to snipe it."

"What's the name of his film and television company?" Mu Chen asked casually.

"New world!" Harvey said.

Mu Chen nodded, not continuing the topic.

Mu Chen didn't say anything, but Harvey knew that James' film and television company was blacklisted by Mu Chen.

He also knows what he should do next!
After cooperating with Mu Chen for so many years, there is still some tacit understanding.

Stare at that company, and then suppress it, suppress it desperately, suppress it hard until it shuts down.

The awards ceremony will begin soon.

Best Visual Effects, and Best Cinematography, these two awards will be announced soon, and "Fuxi" has hit soy sauce.

Not long after, Mu Chen stepped onto the stage.

Not to teach, but to award.

The award presentation continued, interspersed with some performances.

Oscar's Best Foreign Language Film is ahead of the Golden Dragon Award.Soon, the award presenters came to the stage.

Mu Chen glanced at Feng Yi, but he could also see that he was extremely nervous.

In fact, as such a young director, being nominated for an Oscar is already extremely good.

"The Best Foreign Language Film Award: From Italy"

Disappointment flashed across Feng Yi and the others' faces.

This time, the Oscar trip of "Fuxi" is undoubtedly fruitless.

If you are shortlisted, you naturally want to win an award.

Before Feng Yi came, he was actually prepared for nothing.

But it's really nothing, but I can't control my lost emotions.

"There will be opportunities in the future." Mu Chen said with a smile.

If you talk about the director of Chenxi Film and Television, who Mu Chen is most optimistic about is not Ma Lin, but Feng Yi.

In terms of director level and experience, Feng Yi may be a little behind Ma Lin, but he is young enough and has his own ideas.

Feng Yi forced a smile and nodded.

"Fu Xi" failed, and Dream Films won two awards.

However, compared to previous years, it is undoubtedly much worse.

The "Lord of the Rings" series allowed Dream Pictures to sweep the Oscars for three consecutive years.

"Contract Lover" produced by New World Company won two statuettes, which is not a small gain.

However, James didn't flinch in front of Mu Chen anymore.

Even at the dinner after the awards ceremony, Mu Chen was avoided.

After the Oscars, Mu Chen continued to prepare for his new film.

The heroine and other roles have also been determined one after another.

The preparations for other aspects such as costumes and props were also extremely smooth.

With the passage of preparation time, some contents of Mu Chen's new film were gradually revealed.

Not a movie from the superhero movie universe, but a love disaster movie.

Mu Chen has never directed a disaster film, but he has written a classic disaster film like "The Day After Tomorrow".

As for romance films, "Ghost Love" directed by him still holds the highest box office record for romance films.

Although it is not a superhero movie, it is also very exciting.
