This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 671 The Finale
Xu Nan won the Oscar! ! !
This news was like a hurricane, sweeping across the entire China, leaving everyone speechless.

Netizens are crazy.

The film industry is going crazy.

The entire entertainment industry is crazy.

That's Oscar.

There is no doubt that the United States ranks first in the world in terms of comprehensive national power today.

Furthermore, the entertainment industry in the United States is also extremely strong, and Hollywood movies are sweeping the world. Only a few places can hold on to the market.

Under such circumstances, the Oscar, the largest award in the American entertainment industry, has become the world's highest film honor.

In the early years, when the domestic economy was underdeveloped, several veteran directors, in order to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, did not win heavyweight awards such as Best Picture and Best Director, but Best Foreign Language, an award that Americans did not pay attention to at all. Please the Oscar judges from all angles, licking dogs more than licking dogs.

A certain great director won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and everyone was crazy about it. The media reported it wildly, and the people in China were also honored and overflowing with pride.

Now that the country's economy has developed, it is no longer so fond of foreigners, but the Oscars still have a high status in the country.

Xu Nan's Oscar win was like a spark hitting the earth, bringing an extremely strong shock to the people across the country.

"Fuck."

"unbelievable."

"Xu Nan actually won an Oscar."

"To be precise, it won two Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director."

"Is it super awesome?"

"Oh my God, I still can't believe this news."

"Who says it isn't? If it weren't for watching the relevant video over the wall, I would have thought it was fake news."

"I looked through the Xinhua dictionary but couldn't find any words to describe Xu Nan Niubi. In the end I could only say, Xu Nan Niubi (broken pronunciation)."

"It's too strong. Xu Nan is just too strong."

Netizens were extremely excited.

Most people don't understand the twists and turns behind Oscar, let alone Chinese people. Many Americans don't know much about the shady story behind Oscar.

They only know one thing, that is Xu Nan has won the highest honor in world cinema.

This is the first time that a Chinese has won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director. Domestic netizens are overjoyed and bursting with pride.

Although it is not enough to put Xu Nan on the altar like ten years ago, it is enough to put him on the throne.

The media started to get crazy about it.

"The story Xu Nan and Oscar have to tell." 》

"Xu Nan conquers Oscar. 》

"Last night, Hollywood bowed for him. 》

"Why can you win awards while living?" 》

"Expert: Winning the Oscar alive marks a new stage in the development of my country's cultural industry. 》

"Xu Nan entered Hollywood for the second time and won the highest honor in film. 》

"Secretly tell you why the movie "Alive" won an award. 》

"Shocked, the American people went crazy because of a Chinese movie. 》

How wonderful is the movie "Conquer the Oscar Judges, Stay Alive". 》

"Because I'm alive, Hollywood tissues are selling out." 》

"Hollywood screams, Oscar surrenders, and sweeps the United States alive." 》

Etc., etc.

In order to attract traffic, the media will do anything to attract traffic. All kinds of explosive news headlines are flying around, and the stories they make up are more and more outrageous.

Some news is based on rumors, and some is just made up, but netizens actually like to read it.

After all, this is the first time a Chinese film has won an Oscar, and netizens are bursting with national pride. The more exaggerated the news, the more it satisfies their emotions.

The most excited ones are Xu Nan’s fans.

Recently.

There are always people on the Internet who say that "Alive" is not an artistic film, and secretly find faults with the movie "Alive".

Xu Nan's fans were very angry about this, but because they were not organized, they were always suppressed by the trolls.

But now "Alive" has won the Oscar, and it has won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director at the same time.

The time for counterattack has arrived.

How ferocious he was suppressed before, how ferocious his counterattack is now.

"Who said before that "Alive" is not an artistic film?"

"Who said that the movie "Alive" does not deserve such a high box office."

"Who said "Alive" is average?"

"come out."

"Get out of here."

""Alive" has already won an Oscar, what else can you say?"

"I have always said that "To Live" is not a literary and artistic film. Now that "To Live" has gone abroad to win an Oscar, which one of the literary and artistic films you boast about can do it?"

"Are you still finding faults? Are you still showing off your rhythm?"

"Some people are not good at doing things and are very good at holding them back."

"Some people went abroad to win Oscars and bring glory to their country, while some people are still doing all sorts of weird things at home."

Xu Nan’s fans were elated.

Idols are very impressive and make their fans proud.

The navy is still struggling.

"It doesn't matter if it wins an Oscar. If it's not a literary film, it's not a literary film."

"Every movie has flaws. If you win an Oscar, you won't be allowed to have flaws anymore?"

"The Oscars are nothing special."

Such remarks were directly scolded by netizens without the need for Xu Nan's fans to take action.

Xu Nan won the Oscar, just when his approval rating was at its highest. To say that his films are not good would be to displease the people of the country.

Chen Pengfei almost went crazy.

Seeing that the movie "Alive" had been successfully produced by paying trolls, the next step was to win the award through secret operations. As a result, Xu Nan suddenly won the Oscar.

If Xu Nan had won the Oscar earlier, Chen Pengfei might have given up.

But now he has invested too much money, even if he wants to give up.

Just like a gambler, it is impossible to stop gambling in the middle. You will either gain everything or lose everything.

"Jingle Bell."

The phone rang.

"Old Chen, I really can't help you now. If I help you anymore, I will be affected."

Zhang Yange's voice came from the phone.

Both of them are fifth-generation directors, coming from the same era, and have a good relationship.

So Chen Pengfei asked Zhang Yange to do a small favor before, and Zhang Yange did it without saying a word.

But not anymore.

"Alive" won an Oscar. At a small level, this is the highest honor for a film. At a large level, it means bringing glory to the country.

Helping Chen Pengfei speak at this time would easily bring him in, and it would have no effect.

Chen Pengfei immediately advised: "Old Zhang, don't be anxious yet."

"My film has been shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival and entered the main competition. It is very likely to win an award."

"Wait for a while, and it will reverse after a while."

"Help me one last time."

Zhang Yange hesitated: "But now public opinion is supporting Xu Nan."

Chen Pengfei said decisively: "That's because he won the Oscar. When my movie wins the award, public opinion will immediately change."

"But."

Zhang Yange still hesitated.

"Old Zhang, have you forgotten what this bitch Xu Nan did to you in the first place? Do you really want to see him win the award and sit on our heads to shit and pee?"

Chen Pengfei deliberately provoked the general.

But Zhang Yange really just stuck with this. As he got older, he became increasingly dissatisfied with some things.

Zhang Yange felt uncomfortable when he thought that a bad film director like Xu Nan could win an award and pick up the trophy in a grand manner.

"Okay, let me help you one last time."

Soon, Zhang Yange posted a Weibo post.

""Alive" won the Oscar. Some people asked me what I thought. First of all, it is a good thing that "Alive" won the Oscar. This is an honor for all Chinese filmmakers, but I want to say, don't take it too seriously. Seriously, I once had a film that won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. I was very happy at the time and felt that this was recognition from the Academy Awards judges.

But after I learned more about it, I realized that it turns out that you can spend money on public relations for awards in the United States. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy any award with money. You can search for relevant news and similar things in the United States. It's all on the surface, and the awards are far less fair than those in China, so don't be too superstitious about the Oscars in the United States. To put it bluntly, that's all.

In addition, I have good news to tell you that the domestic film "Legend of the Demon Cat" has been shortlisted for the main competition of the Berlin Film Festival and is very likely to win the grand prize. According to insider information revealed by a friend of mine, this film is a strong competition for the Golden Bear Award. Or, maybe it won’t be long before there is another trophy from a top film festival in China. "

Zhang Yange’s Weibo post quickly became popular on Weibo.

Originally, Zhang Yange was the first to criticize "Alive" as a pseudo-artistic film, which was controversial.

Especially after "Alive" won the Oscar, Zhang Yange was ridiculed by a group of people.

Then he posted another Weibo post that looked like a bowl of water, but was actually very connotative.

The Internet exploded.

The navy quickly found the target.

"It turns out that Oscars can be bought with money."

"I was wondering why "To Live" suddenly won two awards. It turns out that it cost money."

"I used to think that Oscars were so noble, but it turns out you can buy them with money, and they are no different from those pheasant awards."

"I don't believe what others say, but I believe what Zhang Yange says. He won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language. He understands Oscars."

"I really don't understand what a group of people are excited about. What's so exciting about a prize bought with money?"

After finishing "Alive", I started playing "Legend of the Demon Cat".

"As expected of Chen Pengfei, he is amazing."

"It was selected into the main competition section of the Berlin Film Festival without any fanfare. We wouldn't have known about it if Zhang Yange hadn't mentioned it."

"Too low-key."

"After all, he is a veteran director and has won too many awards. He has long been indifferent to favors and humiliations. It's not like someone who spent money to buy an award and wants to let the whole world know about it."

"Can anyone tell me what the Golden Bear Award is? I don't know much about it."

"You don't even know this, but the Golden Bear is the highest honor at the Berlin Film Festival."

"Damn, it's so awesome."

The water army is organized and crazy to set the rhythm. When they say this, it seems that the Oscar is really nothing, almost like those pheasant awards.

At the same time, Xu Nan's Oscar is nothing. After all, it was bought with money, so there is nothing to brag about.

What's more, Chen Pengfei's film "Legend of the Demon Cat" has been selected for the main competition of the Berlin Film Festival, and may even win the Golden Bear Award.

Isn't this better than Xu Nan?
Etc., etc.

Similar comments quickly spread across the Internet.

Xu Nan’s fans were not to be outdone.

"I've never heard that you can buy Oscars with money. When Zhang Yange won the Best Foreign Language Award, it was like celebrating the Chinese New Year. Now he suddenly says that the award is not acceptable. What does that mean?"

"The Oscars in the United States are almost like a pheasant award. Do you dare to say this in the United States?"

"It turns out that if you can't eat grapes, you will eat sour grapes. I finally understand."

"Well, everyone who has won the Oscar has spent money. The Oscar is just a pheasant award. According to what you said, the highest honor sweeping Hollywood is nothing. I just said, is it not good to slander others like this? "

"A few years ago, we were still talking about resisting the invasion of Hollywood and holding on to the cultural position. It has only been a few years since the good times, and we dare to despise the Oscars."

"The Berlin Film Festival is pretty high quality, but the problem is that you didn't win an award, you just entered the main competition."

"It's interesting, those who haven't won the prize look down on those who have already won the prize."

Internet controversy is on the rise again.

But Xu Nan's fans soon fell into disadvantage.

The reason is very simple. The navy is organized and professional. Xu Nan's fans are just amateurs. Of course, they cannot be right.

And soon relevant people came up with a lot of evidence to prove that Hollywood awards can indeed spend money on public relations.

This is true of everything, and cannot bear to be dug deeper.

Although it is said that things are dark in China, they are all in a small circle, and Hollywood is on the bright side.

A discerning person can tell at a glance that someone is setting the pace.

But right.

Rhythm is really useful. Most of the audience can't tell the difference between right and wrong. They listen to the wind and listen to the rain, and listen to whoever has the loudest voice.

As soon as I read on the Internet that the Oscars can spend money on public relations, which is similar to the pheasant awards, I instantly became disenchanted with the Oscars.

In a sense, it can be considered a good thing. It has cured many people's problem of admiring foreign things.

By the way, trolls are crazily promoting the Berlin Film Festival, saying that the three major European film festivals have a long history and a strong artistic atmosphere. They are the highest honor in the film industry and are a thousand times better than the so-called Oscars.

soon.

News of the Berlin Film Festival spread to China.

"Legend of the Demon Cat" won the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution.

The navy boasted wildly.

"Did you see that the judges at the Berlin Film Festival have sharp eyes?"

"This is an award at the Berlin Film Festival, the highest honor for film."

“Berlin Film Festival judges are notoriously strict, and they are not like those in Hollywood who can use public relations.”

"Chen Pengfei is indeed a veteran director, and his sword is still young."

""Legend of the Demon Cat" won the Berlin Silver Bear and brought glory to the country."

Chen Pengfei spent a lot of money and bought a lot of drafts.

"Legend of the Demonic Cat" conquers the Berlin Film Festival. 》

"Legend of the Demon Cat" won the Outstanding Artistic Contribution Award, which was the first time in China and a historical record. 》

"Chen Pengfei brought glory to the country and won the film award. 》

"Shocked that this movie has such profound connotations. 》

"Berlin Film Festival Jury: I was conquered by this movie." 》

There are various praises on the Internet that "Legend of the Demon Cat" has won the Berlin Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution, and everyone is celebrating.

Xu Nan’s fans were speechless.

"Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution, what a cool title."

"Isn't this just a consolation prize?"

"Xu Nan finally won the Best Picture and Best Director. Your Outstanding Artistic Contribution Award, there's nothing to brag about."

"I'm speechless. Those who knew it was the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution, but those who didn't know thought it was the Golden Bear Award."

"You really don't have any shame, right?"

People in the industry are also a little nervous.

"How much did it cost? The rhythm is so fierce."

"It's really a bit much." "It's really a bit unscrupulous to exclude Xu Nan from winning the award."

"Some people look really ugly when they eat."

"Not even a chance?"

"Xu Nan is a famous director after all, but to be treated like this, ordinary directors probably won't have any room to struggle."

Ordinary netizens can't tell the difference between right and wrong when it comes to farce on the Internet, so they can only take advantage of it, but most people in the industry know the whole story.

They also felt uncomfortable when they saw that some people would do anything to win the prize, confuse right and wrong, and crazily suppress Xu Nan.

Hidden rules harm the interests of most people, and they don't like them either.

Unconsciously, people in the circle felt more sympathy for Xu Nan.

Chen Pengfei also knew that it would look ugly if he did this, and the backlash would be severe.

But there was no way, he couldn't look back.

It didn't matter if he gave up at first, but if he gave up now, the loss would be too great, and he couldn't accept it at all.

It's like a gambler who can't stop at the last step.

Fortunately the result is good.

He is not just struggling alone, he has many old friends supporting him.

He has gained the upper hand in terms of public opinion, and the next step is for the Golden Dragon Award Organizing Committee to comply with public opinion and award him the grand prize.

After all, Xu Nan is a young man and still needs to practice for a few years.

France.

cannes.

Xu Nan came here in a low-key manner.

On the stage, someone was saying something in French, and finally the word "alive" came out of his mouth.

The audience applauded.

The Chinese reporters in the audience were stunned.

"What did this guy say, who won the Palme d'Or?"

"'Alive'?"

"What's "Alive"?"

"Didn't you hear clearly? The Chinese film "Alive" won the Palme d'Or and Best Actor."

"Damn it."

That night, the news spread back to the country.

then.

The whole world is quiet.

Palme d'Or.

Cannes' highest honor, the Palme d'Or.

The Palme d'Or, one of the world's three major international film festivals.

Suddenly netizens didn’t know what to say.

It's like a person suddenly hearing great news, it feels so unreal.

It wasn't until subsequent relevant news spread back to China that everyone confirmed that this was true.

Netizens are crazy.

"Xu Nan Niubi (broken sound)."

"I knew he was strong, but I never thought he could be this strong."

"The Palme d'Or, this is Cannes' highest honor."

"It's outrageous. It's truly outrageous."

“For a movie to win both the Oscar and Cannes top honors, just ask who else.”

"If you don't agree with the wall, just obey Xu Nan."

"There was someone on the Internet who said the movie "Alive" was like that, and I was also affected. Now it seems that the movie "Alive" is really awesome."

"The highest-rated movie in China, do you think it's a joke?"

Netizens were extremely excited, and the media, not to be outdone, frantically issued press releases to increase the popularity.

Boast, brag hard, brag to death.

At this time, the sailors who were setting the pace could no longer hold their nerve.

We are playing "Legend of the Demon Cat", you get the Palme d'Or?
How can we brag about this?

The Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution is completely incomparable with the Palme d'Or.

Fortunately, Xu Nan's fans have not forgotten them.

"Are you still playing "Legend of the Demon Cat"?"

"The Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution is a very impressive award. Can it compare with the Palme d'Or?"

"The three major European film festivals really understand art better. Didn't Cannes award the Palme d'Or to "Alive"?"

"No one will say that Cannes can also use money for public relations, no, no, no."

"The Legend of the Demon Cat is for me."

"Having won the highest honors at Oscar and Cannes, let me ask, who else, ah, who else?"

"The judges of the European Film Festival are indeed rigorous and know that the real grand prize should be awarded to "Alive"."

Xu Nan’s fans were elated.

They were disgusted by the trolls from "Legend of the Demonic Cat" before.

Now that Xu Nan has won the Cannes Palme d'Or, they can finally fight back.

Didn't you say that "Legend of the Demon Cat" won the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution at the Berlin Film Festival? It's awesome, but our "Alive" won the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

Yours is a consolation prize, ours is the highest honor.

Just ask if you accept it or not.

what?
The navy doesn't care whether they accept it or not. They just spend money to do things without any moral integrity.

Chen Pengfei collapsed.

"Alive" won the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

The Palme d'Or, the highest honor at the Cannes Film Festival, one of the world's three major film festivals.

How is this played?
Give me a haircut.

It is better to surrender directly, the loss will be smaller.

In the midst of collapse.

Chen Pengfei received a call from Li Ping.

He is the chairman of this year's Golden Dragon Award jury and can decide who will receive the relevant awards.

To be fair, Li Ping is not willing to award the heavyweight award to Xu Nan.

No particular reason.

He simply felt that Xu Nan was too young and too dazzling, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, Li Ping acquiesced to Chen Pengfei's previous actions.

Chen Pengfei succeeded. He pushed the boat with the tide and suppressed Xu Nan. It can also be said that it was for Xu Nan's good and to sharpen the young people.

It doesn't matter if Chen Pengfei loses, he has no loss either.

But with the news that Xu Nan won the Cannes Palme d'Or, Li Ping knew.

It's time for the farce to end.

This year's Golden Dragon Award, the heavyweight award must belong to Xu Nan.

the reason is simple.

The American Oscars and Cannes both awarded the highest honor to Xu Nan's "Alive". What do you mean if you don't award the Golden Dragon Award?
One is the most influential film award in the world, and the other is the pinnacle of art films. They both gave the award to "Alive". How about you not giving it the Golden Dragon Award?

If something like that really happened, it would definitely not be Xu Nan and his movie "Alive" that would suffer, but the Golden Dragon Award itself.

At that time, the Golden Dragon Award will be completely reduced to a laughing stock, and everyone including the judges and him, the chairman of the jury, will be questioned.

Li Ping will never allow this to happen.

So he called Chen Pengfei and persuaded him to stop. At the same time, he also told Chen Pengfei his decision in a subtle way.

As the chairman of the jury, Li Ping has great power and can decide which film to award.

The meaning of calling Chen Pengfei was simple.

I have decided to give the award to Xu Nan. It is useless for you to make trouble.

That’s a more literary way of saying it.

Azu, stop it.

Chen Pengfei knew what Li Ping meant and said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, I understand."

"And I have no money either."

It also costs money to ask the navy to lead the game, especially in a disadvantageous game, which costs more money.

Chen Pengfei invested heavily during this period, investing almost all the money he earned in the past few years.

The result was this result.

Damn it, if I had known it, I would have just lied down.

What is this called.

The final voting site for the Golden Dragon Award.

Many old-timers in the film industry sat together to vote.

After some voting procedures, Li Ping got the results.

Seeing the familiar name, he sighed.

There are no surprises.

Shortly after the polls closed.

Xu Nan received a call from a veteran in the film industry and learned the final result of the Golden Dragon Award.

Although there are a group of old die-hards in the industry who are unhappy with him, there are also old-timers who are very optimistic about him and have a good relationship with him.

This old-timer was one of the judges of the Golden Dragon Award. She called Xu Nan to tell her.

He won the prize.

Two awards for Best Director and Best Picture.

If it weren't for his junior qualifications, even the best actor would be his.

But Xu Nan is already satisfied.

Best Director and Best Picture are the highest honors in the domestic film industry. He is satisfied with winning these two awards.

It's not easy.

In theory, the list of Golden Dragon Award winners should be kept secret.

But Xu Nan soon found out.

Then Lin Ziyi also found out and called Xu Nan to congratulate her.

"Congratulations, "Alive" won the award, Best Picture and Best Director."

"Thanks, I just got lucky."

Xu Nan responded modestly.

then.

His subordinate Liu Yang came over to congratulate him.

Old Dong ran over to congratulate him.

Yu Fei also ran over to congratulate him.

Everyone in the company seemed to know about it, and everyone came over to congratulate him. Some even asked him to give out red envelopes, and even opened champagne.

A hot search also appeared on Weibo.

#Golden Dragon Award jury voting is over, and it is rumored that "Alive" won the highest honor#
It seemed that in an instant, people all over the country knew that Xu Nan had won the award.

Netizens reacted calmly to this.

"Xu Nan should have won the award long ago."

"If 'Alive' can't win an award, I don't know what other movie is qualified to win an award."

"This is what everyone expects."

"I have been a fan of Xu Nan since his first movie. I never expected to see the day when he would win the Golden Dragon Award."

"Come on, keep up the good work, and strive to make better movies."

No one questioned.

No one objected.

Everyone felt that Xu Nan won the award for granted.

in this friendly atmosphere.

Time soon came to the day when the Golden Dragon Awards were presented.

On the stage.

Beautiful female presenter in gorgeous dress smiling.

"Let us congratulate Xu Nan."

"Winning best director, as well as best picture."

"Xu Nan, "Alive"."

bang.

There was thunderous applause.

Everyone had expected this result.

Although he had known this result for a long time, Xu Nan was still a little excited when the host announced it.

He quickly walked onto the stage and took the trophy from the host.

A little heavy.

The host smiled and said: "Director Xu Nan, congratulations on winning the Best Film and Best Director awards. At this time, what do you have to say?"

Xu Nan smiled: "I have a lot to say."

The on-site guests and the audience watching the live broadcast are mentally prepared.

The next step should be the acceptance speech, saying thank you for this and thank you for that.

But what Xu Nan said is true.

"Ever since I made my first movie, "Along the River on a Sunny Day," some people have said that I made bad movies."

"Now I have won two awards for Best Director and Best Picture. I believe this is enough to prove me."

"I want to say here that I have never made a bad movie."

"I make every movie, mind you, every movie."

"Including movies like "A River on a Sunny Day," "Captain of China," "Spider-Man," "Legend of Sword and Chivalry," and "Flower Girl," all of them are not bad movies."

"If you think these movies are bad, it's not my problem, it's your problem."

"To say my movie is bad is because you have a problem with your aesthetics."
