It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 585: A 61-year-old girl? Still connected? So stupid! The Oscar nominations banquet is in progress...

The box office in the first week was 1.67 million.

"The Grandmaster" created a result that made the Hong Kong film industry very happy!

Chen Fei saw many people shouting on Weibo that the spring of Hong Kong films has come again.

As expected, the spokesperson was criticized to pieces.

Nowadays, netizens in the mainland are extremely fierce. Not only are they fighting fiercely with the Hong Kong circle, but they are also fighting back and forth with South Korea. It's so lively!
Of course, although "The Grandmaster" is indeed quite good, it is far inferior to "Wolf Warrior".

After half a month of release, the box office has exceeded 3.5 million. The box office potential shown by "Wolf Warrior" has amazed many people!
The young couple Wu Jing and Xie Nan show their affection online from time to time, which is so sweet.

Every Weibo post between the two now reveals the sour smell of love.

In the comment section, many people were shouting: "Do you two treat us as human beings?"

……

While eating melon, Chen Fei suddenly saw a piece of news about the film industry.

Led by director Xie Fei, a large number of directors including Jia Zhangke, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Lou Ye, Li Shaohong, Jiang Wen, and Gu Changwei jointly submitted an application to the General Administration.

The content is very simple, which is to learn from Hollywood and replace the film censorship system with a film rating system.

This group of directors even sent an open letter to the industry, calling on all directors, filmmakers, producers, etc. to join the joint team.

"The censorship system is a legacy of the planned economy. It is a bad habit that restricts market prosperity, stifles ideological exploration, and wastes administrative resources. It should be abolished..."

After seeing this message, Fade Chen couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

On the day of Walt Disney Studios' annual meeting, Jia Zhangke called him, hoping that he would respond to the call and protest to the General Administration together.

But at that time, he refused on the grounds that he was too busy recently.

But what no one expected was that this group of people would actually form combat effectiveness in such a short period of time, and even jointly issued an open letter!
"Confused!"

He couldn't help but sigh and silently closed the news website.

It is sheer wishful thinking to want to implement a grading system in the country.

You know, classification transfers the responsibility and risk from the producers to the audiences. If it is really implemented, then those movies that are not suitable for children and were strictly prohibited in the past will pop up like mushrooms after a rain.

You know, there are huge differences between China and Hollywood. Due to national conditions, everything has to be under control.

If we let go completely, it would undoubtedly be like opening a Pandora's box, and it would be very difficult to close it again.

This loophole must not be opened, otherwise it won’t be long before a large number of “LGBT” groups emerge, similar to those in European and American systems.

At that time, how can we control it?

He quietly turned off his phone and let a bunch of people on Weibo tag him and even leave comments in the comment section, but he just didn't respond.

He had already been caught in a lot of rain in Hollywood, and he didn't want to bring this toxic rain back to China.

Just let them harm the Americans.

Of course, you still have to eat the melons you should eat.

There isn't anything fun to do in the film industry right now, but there are a lot of fun things to do in the television industry.

A group of "Zhenxue" researchers have begun to emerge.

Youku provides a very fertile soil for these people, allowing bloggers to upload various secondary creations and edited videos on it, which has attracted extremely high attention.

According to internal statistics, the number of online clicks for "The Legend of Zhen Huan" alone exceeds that of "Palace" and "Startling by Each Step".

This shows how strong the subsequent popularity and response this TV series has caused.

Of course, in recent days, the most popular drama is "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties", which is currently on the air.

A TV series has attracted hundreds of celebrities to support it, including many powerful superstars and new generation idols from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and other countries.

Among them are not only veteran actors such as Zhao Wenxuan, Chen Chong, Kou Shixun, and Du Zhiguo, but also a large number of hot rising stars such as Yu Shaoqun, Pubajia, Zhang Rui, Ye Zuxin, Zhang Xiaochen, and Sun Yaoqi who perform passionately.

At the same time, South Korea's mermaid lady Jang Seo-hee shows off her feminine charm, and the sexy and popular actress Lan Yan transforms into the female version of the revenge princess "Murong Fu" to fight Liu Xiaoqing.

Especially the love scenes are the most eye-catching!
Grandma Liu Xiaoqing, who is already 61 years old, played roles of multiple ages, such as a shy girl and a daughter-in-law in the play, which is simply amazing!
Chen Fei's senses were fine. Apart from feeling his eyes a little dirty and something churning in his stomach, there was nothing else wrong.

What made him feel a little distracted was that the TV series started with a grand war scene that caught the audience's attention, describing the battle in which the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Chen Dynasty in 589 AD.

But according to history, Li Shimin was not yet born when the Sui Dynasty conquered the Chen Dynasty in 589 AD. He was born in January 599 AD.

This is very frustrating. I really can't figure out whether this is a biographical costume historical drama or a fantasy costume drama?

Of course, this did not affect Chen Fei's enjoyment of the show.

The angry comments from netizens are just hilarious.

"Damn, everything else is fine, but the sight of grandma playing a young girl is really distracting to me."

"Hiss!? My eyes hurt! I have to go buy some eye drops."

"No! No! No! Yu Shaoqun! Don't be with your grandma... Damn, this is really ruining the show!"

"I'm about to have a gastroscopy. I'll watch this drama. I heard it saves me the trouble of buying medicine."

"Is there any kindhearted person? Please have pity on me! After watching this drama, I haven't eaten for several days. I vomit as soon as I eat! Can you find a decent girl to play the girl? How can Yu Shaoqun eat like that?"

"Don't cut to the close-up! Ugh! I can even see the folds and wrinkles on his face!"

……

Chen Fei originally thought that he might have to eat gossip in the TV circle for a few days in the near future, but what he didn't expect was that in the afternoon of that day, a paparazzi suddenly leaked photos of Deng and Jiang walking into the same hotel again.

"Deng and Jiang are suspected to be still in contact because of the relationship they met on the set of The Four. The queen showed up at the airport, intending to take the baby back to her parents' home. She looked angry..."

The media are eager to watch the fun and keep adding fuel to the fire just to stir up the heat.

The three parties involved are currently keeping silent and have not made any response to the "photo gate" incident revealed by the paparazzi.

However, at night, some paparazzi actually took photos and videos of Old Deng appearing at the airport, apparently going to pursue the Empress.

For a time, the popularity grew rapidly.

Many people are wondering whether this "model couple" who have experienced many twists and turns will give up and go their separate ways this time?

Perhaps out of concern that it would affect "The Four 2" which will be released this year, Guangguang had to come out to put out fires everywhere.

Lao Wang is really miserable. It was clearly the actor's own mistake, but he had to take the blame on himself.

Just as Chen Fei was enjoying himself, Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said, "Look, that person has left the group."

"Oh?"

Chen Fei took out his mobile phone with great interest, opened QQ, and found the Beijing Film Academy 02 class group.

Sure enough, Jiang’s profile picture has disappeared.

He sneered and said sarcastically: "Although it takes two to tango, no one can seduce a married man again and again."

Chen Fei could conclude that the Queen would definitely not give up this time!
Even if the two of them will end up getting divorced, Jiang Moumou, as one of the instigators, will inevitably become the scapegoat!

Liu Yifei on the side nodded silently, feeling that this former best friend had now become so unfamiliar.

There is simply no limit to these operations and behaviors!

……

Time flies and it is now late January.

The 85th Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon is being held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Academy President Tom Sherak and host Natalie Portman walked up to the podium, facing the large screen in the background, ready to announce this year's nomination list.

Chen Fei and the main creative members of "Interstellar" and "Dallas Buyers Club" sat at a table in the front center. Facing the cameras that were projected from time to time, his smile was extremely friendly and relaxed, as if he had no pressure at all.

After months of preparation, he finally waited for the moment to blossom. He really wanted to know whether his plan of "the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole waits behind" was effective.

Unlike him who was relaxed, the others sitting at the table were a little nervous at the moment.

You know, a nomination is always a ticket to winning.

If you want to win an award, you must at least get nominated first, otherwise all your previous efforts will be in vain.

At this time, "Dallas Buyers Club" is still showing in North American theaters and will continue to be shown until after the Oscars ceremony.

The North American box office has now exceeded 6000 million US dollars, which is a very good return compared to the production cost of million US dollars.

More importantly, the film received very good responses overseas, and while receiving acclaim, it also reaped extremely high box office revenue.

So far, the overseas box office has reached 1.5 million US dollars, with the main box office concentrated in Europe.

And according to past experience, if this movie can win something at the Oscars, then the overseas box office will definitely see a surge!
This is the scene everyone on the set of Dallas Buyers Club wants to see.

Perhaps for the sake of ratings, the academy also put a lot of effort into the seating arrangement.

To the left of Chen Fei is the crew of "Life of Pi", and to the right is the crew of "Argo" and "Django Unchained".

When he looked to the left, his eyes met Li An's.

Both of them had smiles on their faces, and even though they were competitors, they maintained a certain composure.

But when he looked to the right, he met Harvey's eyes, whose face was full of gloom.

As a civilized man, he still had a smile on his face.

But Harvey rudely clenched his fists, and took advantage of the gap when the camera lens moved away to wave his fists at him.

This provocation did not make Chen Fei angry, but instead made the smile on his face even brighter.

He waved to Ning Hao who was sitting next to him, motioning him to bring the bottle of red wine on the table to him.

Holding the slightly cool bottle of wine in his hand, Fade Chen immediately became eager to drink.

When he turned his attention to Harvey again, the guy had already looked away and pretended to listen carefully.

"Huh? You coward!"

He did not lower his voice intentionally, so the audience sitting at the surrounding tables heard what he said.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Harvey Weinstein, secretly expecting him to respond.

However, Harvey seemed to have heard nothing and ignored Fade Chen's counterattack and provocation.

The wine bottle at the Venice Film Festival was still fresh in his mind, and he didn't want to get another cut on his head.

More importantly, the legal teams hired by the two are still arguing with each other and fighting the lawsuit, and there is no idea when it will end.

The sky-high compensation that Harvey wants is nowhere in sight.

Under such circumstances, he didn't have the courage to provoke Chen Fei unless he wanted to get another big bump on his head.

On the podium, Tom Sherak and Natalie Portman have begun announcing the nominations.

“The winners for Best Art Direction were Life of Pi, Les Miserables, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Anna Karenina and Dallas Buyers Club.”

“The Best Visual Effects winners were Life of Pi, Prometheus, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and Interstellar.”

……

"The winners for best editing include Dallas Buyers Club, Life of Pi, Zero Dark Thirty, Les Misérables, and Anna Karenina."

As multiple nominations were announced one after another, Li An and the crew of "Life of Pi" had smiles on their faces.

But looking at Harvey Weinstein, Ben Affleck, Quentin and others, no one had a smile on their face at this moment.

It would have been fine if it had not been nominated for any technical awards, but it also failed to get nominated for subsequent awards like editing and adapted screenplay. This already proves something.

PR was a complete failure!
The Oscar judges have already tacitly excluded "Argo" and "Django Unchained" from this year's Oscar selection.

At this moment, Harvey suddenly felt as if there were many people around him secretly looking at him, and their eyes were full of ridicule and contempt.

He really wanted to get up and leave, but out of consideration for the impact, he finally forced himself to hold back.

Quentin on the side seemed to be expecting something, his eyes fixed on the podium, as if waiting for "Django Unchained" to appear.

However, when the nominations for Best Supporting Actor were announced, he even heard the name of Jared Leto, who played an androgynous role, but did not hear the name of Leonardo DiCaprio.

At this moment, not only he was confused, even Leo who was sitting next to him was confused.

After making so much effort, I couldn't even get a nomination. How the hell can I justify this?
After being stunned for a while, he glanced at Harvey, Quentin and others out of the corner of his eye, and immediately made a judgment in his mind.

It must be the impact of the email scandal that caused him to not even get a nomination, let alone win an award.

At this moment, Tom Sherak on the stage happened to announce the nominees for Best Actor.

"Hugh Jackman, Matthew McConaughey, Denzel Washington..."

Five names were announced one after another, and not only Ben Affleck was not among them, but Jamie Foxx was also not among them.

At this point, even Quentin couldn't sit still. He had the same feeling as Harvey, as if there were mocking whispers all around him.

On the other side, Li An and the "Life of PI" crew were still secretly waiting.

Next up are the nominations for Best Director and Best Picture, which are the two most valuable awards in the Oscars and must not be missed!
Producer Jill Netter whispered, "We have received several Sentinel Award nominations, whether it is Best Director or Best Picture, there will definitely be one for us."

"That's right!"

Li An nodded heavily, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at Chen Fei who was sitting next to him.

The two films produced by Weinstein Pictures completely collapsed during the public relations period, so now his biggest competitor is Chen Fei.

It seems quite interesting to think about two Chinese directors competing for the Oscar for Best Director.

But, the development of things is always so unexpected.

"The nominees for Best Director are: Fei Chen, Michael Haneke, Bech Zeitlin..."

Five names were announced one after another, and Li An was very surprised to find that he did not hear his own name.

He looked up at the big screen somewhat unwillingly, and read the director's name and the corresponding work title displayed on it one by one. He soon discovered that there was indeed no his name or "Life of Pi" on it.

His face suddenly changed and he couldn't help but start to think wildly.

Could it be that "Life of Pi" has really been pushed completely into the realm of special effects spectacle?
Immediately afterwards, the nominations for Best Picture were officially announced, and Life of Pi was still not on the list.

By this time, Li An and film producer Jill Nett were completely desperate!
Although it was nominated for a series of technical awards, it lost out on the most important Best Director and Best Picture awards, which means that Life of Pi's award-winning plan this year was a complete failure.

As for those technical award nominations, even if you win all the golden statuettes, they are not as good as a Best Actress performance award.

Just at this moment, Natalie Portman, standing on the podium, announced the nominations for Best Foreign Language Film.

“The Tomb of the Ghostly Tribe, Love, A Royal Romance, Chile Says No, Lonely Raft.”

At the table next to them, Ning Hao and a group of people from the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" crew cheered at the same time, celebrating the film's nomination.

Although Li An had a smile on his face, it looked very ugly.

However, there was a group of people whose faces were even uglier than his!

When many people were applauding and congratulating him, Harvey could no longer sit still. He stood up and strode out of the hotel like a mad bull.

Behind him, Ben Affleck, Quentin and others quickly followed.

As they walked out from the middle of the corridor, everyone except Harvey lowered their heads and did not dare to look at anyone else.

I'm so embarrassed tonight!
