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

Chapter 590: Warner and DC's bold move! Middle-aged handsome man or wild man? Shocking lyrics!

As expected, the news that Into the Dust won the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival soon spread back to the mainland.

As the Silver Bear Award, the jury grand prize second only to the Golden Bear Award, its gold content is extremely high and it can be called the second grand prize of the Berlin Film Festival!

For Chen Fei, this award might be just ordinary and not worth mentioning, but for the domestic film industry, this award is simply exaggerated!
In the media reports, the voices of praise were overwhelming:
“Congratulations to Into the Dust for winning the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize, adding another big award to the Chinese-language film industry.”

"Director Shen'ao won the Berlin Silver Bear in his first independent directorial debut. His future is limitless."

"Director Chen Fei went to Berlin to take charge. Feiyue Films has another top director!"

In just half a day, Shen Ao, a little-known new director, became famous in the circle and became a top-notch director.

This is the power of international awards!

But if it is the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, Golden Horse, Golden Statue and the like, there is definitely not such a strong boost.

The best example is Brother Chen Kai.

He has been eating a golden palm tree for decades, and he is still eating it now!

……

When Chen Fei was preparing to return to Los Angeles the next afternoon, he went to the airport with Shen Ao, Tian Zhuangzhuang and others.

During the half-hour journey, Shen Ao answered more than a dozen calls in succession and had no intention of stopping.

In the end, Chen Fei couldn't bear it anymore and reminded them, "You have to remember that from the moment you got the Silver Bear, you are no longer on the same level as some people.

Friendships can be maintained, but we must also keep a proper distance and not be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives."

Once a person gets better, there will be more good people around him, but there will also be many people with ulterior motives hanging around.

If we don't take precautions against the outside world, it will most likely lead to an extremely tragic ending.

The story of the injury to Zhongyong is not fictional.

The phone rang again. Shen Ao looked down and found that it was a college classmate who hadn't contacted him for a long time.

I remember that after I graduated, I went to Hengdian with him and looked for film crews to apply for.

Relying on his good looks, the other party hooked up with a female producer, became successful overnight and became the executive deputy director of a film crew.

People always change.

After his former poor friend got better, he did not come back to help him. Instead, he gradually cut off all contact with him for fear of being entangled with him.

But now?

Shen Ao pressed the answer button and patiently chatted with him for a few words.

When he heard the words "Brother Ao, you are getting better now. Please remember me and take care of me when you have the chance", he directly cut off the call and blacklisted the other party's number.

Reality is often much more cruel than imagined!

"Mr. Chen, thank you for your teachings."

Shen'ao said this very seriously, and the pride and complacency in his heart caused by winning the award disappeared instantly.

The script was not written by him, and Tian Zhuangzhuang assisted in the filming. It would be more accurate to say that he won the award not based on his own strength, but because he was carried along along the way.

He is just lucky, and he is very clear about his own abilities.

Tian Zhuangzhuang added with a smile: "Stay humble, and you will go further."

……

After returning to Los Angeles, the first news Chen Fei received was that the release date of "Iron Man 3" had been set.

Released simultaneously worldwide on June 6th!

As the third and final film in the Iron Man series, theaters in various countries have given high support to this film.

The hot summer time slot was directly assigned to "Iron Man 3".

However, when talking to Kevin Feige, he said very seriously: "Warner has scheduled the release date of Man of Steel to June 6, which is only one week away from Iron Man 13."

"Hey?" Chen Fei suddenly became interested: "What? Is DC going to stand up? Is he so confident?"

"They are aiming for great things!" Kevin Feige said solemnly, "I have been paying attention to DC recently. They must have noticed Marvel's huge market and want to get a piece of the pie."

Fade Chen smiled and said, "Oh, that's a nice thought. How can they compete with Marvel?"

Kevin Feige groaned for a moment and said, "According to what I have learned, in addition to launching the Superman series, Warner Bros. has also put the filming of Wonder Woman on the agenda."

Chen Fei became more interested: "So, they are going to learn from us? First make an independent movie about the big names in the Justice League?"

"No! It's not that simple!" Kevin Feige continued: "Maybe they think this is too slow, so they decided to speed it up.

The top management of Warner Bros. reached an agreement with DC that after "Man of Steel", Superman and Batman would appear in the same movie, and then directly launch "Justice League", taking a completely different route from "The Avengers".

That is, they will first let the six giants of the Justice League fight collectively, and then shoot independent movies. "

"WTF?" Chen Fei was confused by this amazing train of thought: "Who gave them the confidence? Liang Jingru?"

Kevin Feige didn't know who Liang Jingru was, but he could understand what Chen Fei said.

"DC co-chairman Hamada and Warner's Jon Berg both believe that compared to the second- and third-tier comic characters in the Avengers, the six giants of the Justice League, led by Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, have huge popularity in the United States.

Therefore, even if there is no personal movie, there will still be countless fans paying for it!"

Chen Fei curled his lips and said, "What a foolish dream! How can such a large-scale commercial production be supported by comic fans alone?"

Kevin Feige agreed with his words: "This is also my idea, but they don't think so, and even specially invited Christopher Nove to serve as the chief producer."

Fade Chen shrugged and said in a relaxed tone: "Then let them do what they want. After all, without the vulgarity of the opponent, how can we highlight our excellence?"

Hearing this, Kevin Feige couldn't help but burst into laughter.

DC is indeed catching up very closely, and has the support of Warner behind them, but their thinking is too novel, and they keep coming up with all kinds of weird operations.

This just proves the saying: If you don't seek death, you won't die!

……

On the day when the Oscars ceremony was officially held, "The Tomb: The Mystical Ancient City" was completely taken off the shelves in North American theaters.

In order to welcome the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which he had a good chance of winning, Ning Hao turned down all his work and rushed to Los Angeles in advance.

And the same is true for others.

Liu Ye, Shu Chang and others all put down their work and arrived in Los Angeles with Ning Hao.

They have walked the red carpets of the three major European cinemas, but this is their first time on the Oscars red carpet, so it is inevitable that they are a little excited.

"Sissi, you've been in Hollywood for so long, so you know a lot of big international stars, right?"

Seeing Shu Chang's curious face, Liu Yifei didn't think much about it and nodded directly: "I'm fine, what's wrong? What can I do for you?"

"Then can you help me get a signed photo of Leonardo and a photo with him? I really like the movie Titanic he starred in, it's so handsome!"

Seeing her best friend showing a fangirl-like expression, Liu Yifei's eyes were quite complicated: "Changchang, I have to remind you that the Jack you like has become a middle-aged man."

"I know, middle-aged men are also handsome."

Because she has always been by Fade Chen's side, Liu Yifei naturally knows what kind of person Leo is.

Middle-aged handsome guy?

She wanted to ask Shu Chang a question: "The middle-aged handsome man you are talking about, is he the one with an unshaven beard who cries and howls after drinking too much, shouting that he can't forget Gisele Bundchen?"

Liu Yifei opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't bear to break her best friend's beautiful fantasy.

"Okay, I'll introduce you later."

Chen Fei was also listening to the conversation between the two and was trying to hold back his laughter. A middle-aged handsome man?
It won’t be long before he turns Leo into a middle-aged savage!

……

After passing through the media interview area and chatting with reporters from China, the group walked into the Dolby Theater.

As soon as Chen Fei walked in, he found Leonardo standing in the front hall, chatting with Tobey Maguire.
After seeing the person walking in from outside the door, Toby smiled over here, but did not come up to say hello, but walked away.

Little Leo sighed and turned to greet him.

Chen Fei asked curiously: "What are you two talking about? The atmosphere seems a little off?"

Leonardo sighed again: "Damn Toby, he lost all his hundreds of millions of dollars playing cards and borrowed a large sum of money from me. Jennifer Meyer is suing him and wants to divorce him..."

A long time ago, Chen Fei also worked with Tobey Maguire, and it was rumored in the crew that he loved playing cards very much.

But no one expected that he would actually lose all his fortune worth hundreds of millions of dollars and even end up in divorce!
From this we can see that gamblers do not deserve sympathy at all!

"So, he asked you to borrow money again?"

"No." Leonardo shook his head. "He lost all the tax money he had prepared for this year. Now he is penniless and has become a complete pauper. He wants me to help introduce a character so that he can make some money to fill the hole of tax."

In North America, you can borrow money or even rob at gunpoint, but you can never escape the tax withholding policy of the IRS!
If you fail to pay taxes, the consequences will be very serious, and the late payment fees alone will be sky-high!
The best example is Nicolas Cage. In order to fill the tax hole, he now takes any role and has starred in a lot of bad movies.

Chen Fei said leisurely: "Gambling addiction is very difficult to quit. If he is not determined to quit gambling, it will be useless to introduce him to a few more roles."

"I know." Leonardo sighed, "But he has to survive first. I can't watch him become depressed like this."

Chen Fei didn't say anything more.

Leonardo has done his best for this childhood friend.

The reason why Tobey Maguire got the role of Spider-Man was thanks to Leonardo's strong recommendation. Unfortunately, he was like a hopeless person and ruined his life miserably.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Leonardo's mood quickly improved. He stepped forward and hugged Chen Fei's shoulders: "I will be the presenter of the Best Director award tonight. I wish you a happy new year in advance..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Chen Fei quickly stopped him from saying anything else: "Don't open champagne at halftime. Congratulate me after I win the award."

In order to prevent this guy from continuing to talk nonsense, Chen Fei decided to increase his strength.

"By the way, how have you been practicing these days? We have to leave after the Oscars ceremony."

"Not bad, your physical strength has greatly increased." Leonardo couldn't help but feel curious: "You haven't told me yet, where should we go next?"

"Antarctica, seven days of extreme survival in the wild."

"Fuck!" Leonardo cursed directly: "Fei, are you kidding me?"

He was obviously frightened. He quickly let go of Chen Fei's shoulder and took several steps back.

Fade Chen shrugged. "You promised me personally that you would change the impression of yourself in the eyes of the judges. What could be more appropriate than letting yourself go completely?"

Upon hearing this, Little Leo was stunned again.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but wonder, "Will this help me win an Oscar?"

"It can at least increase the success rate by 9%. When the time comes, I will prepare a script for you, which may increase the success rate to more than %."

Hearing this, Little Leo fell into deep thought again.

It’s just an Oscar statuette. Is it worth such a great sacrifice?

As soon as the question came to mind, the answer came instantly!
worth!

worth!

He was nominated several times in a row but failed every time, which made him obsessed with the Oscars.

No matter what, I must bring back a little golden man in my lifetime to prove myself!
"Okay, I'll go with you!"

At this moment, Leo's eyes are full of perseverance!

……

After arranging for Shu Chang to take a photo with Leonardo, Chen Fei led a group of people to the location designated by the organizer.

As an Oscar-winning actor, his seat was naturally in the front row.

Following him were the crews of "Dallas Buyers Club", "Interstellar" and "The Tomb of the Ancient City".

Not long after everyone sat down, they heard a series of "Dangdangdang" music, which meant that the Oscar Awards ceremony officially began.

The host walked onto the stage with a smirk on his face.

Chen Fei knew this guy, Seth MacFarlane, the voice actor of Pete in Family Guy.

It's a pity that he doesn't have those two iconic balls on his face.

However, regret soon turned into surprise!
This guy is well-known throughout North America for his spoof skills. The reason why he was invited to the Oscars this time is probably to increase the ratings.

And to make things even more interesting, at this year's Oscars ceremony, he actually chose to... sing.

But the lyrics are just too "shocking"!

With dynamic music, he pointed to the place where the most famous female stars were gathered and sang the first line of the lyrics: "We have seen your secrets, we have seen your secrets in the movies we watched..."

What follows is a long guide for movie fans.

“Meryl Streep’s in Silkwood, Naomi Watts’s in Mulholland Drive, Halle Berry’s in Monster’s Ball, Nicole Kidman’s in Eyes Wide Shut, Marissa Tomei’s in The Wrestler.

We saw Kristen Stewart in On the Road, Charlize Theron in Devil May Cry, and Helen Hunt in Intimate Therapy, but we never saw Jennifer Lawrence’s secret…”

It is no exaggeration to say that all the important Hollywood female stars present were made to sing the lyrics about "Secret" by him.

The ones who were hit the most were the famous actresses who acted the craziest.

"Kate Winslet was in Angels and Jude the Obscure, as well as Hamlet, Titanic, Hand in Hand, Motherhood, The Reader..."

As the queen of the arts among Oscar-winning actresses, Fat Wen is indeed very powerful.

Among so many female stars, she is considered the craziest one, and it seems like she can't live without being crazy.

At the same time, as Seth MacFarlane continued to sing, the atmosphere on the scene was like a lit powder keg, extremely hot!

Although many film queen-level female stars showed obvious dissatisfaction, they did not lose their minds or stand up to argue with him.

And then, when a choir from the "LGBT" group came on stage and sang the song with him again, the atmosphere was extremely warm!
No matter how bad the mood of those who were named was, the effect and ratings of this opening show were directly maximized!
"What the hell? Is this such a big deal?"

Ning Hao's voice came from behind Chen Fei, his tone full of shock.

He really didn't expect that he would encounter such a "shocking" opening show when attending the Oscars ceremony for the first time.

Shu Chang and Liu Yifei also widened their eyes at this time, their faces full of disbelief.

Fortunately, this is North America. If this happened in mainland China, anyone who dared to sing this kind of song would, without exaggeration, be banned by the entire film and television industry that very night!

No matter how dirty those female celebrities in mainland China behave behind the scenes, they always maintain a high profile when facing the outside world.

Anyone who dares to insult them like this will inevitably develop into a situation of "life and death enemies"!
Chen Fei smiled and responded casually: "It's due to the national conditions. It's normal."

Just like the film rating system cannot be promoted in China, Chinese people are relatively conservative and cannot accept such open behavior at all.

After hearing what Chen Fei said, several people secretly sighed in their hearts, but did not say anything more.

The song officially ended, and the audience burst into laughter, applause, cheers, shouts, and even whistles!

It wasn't until the official distribution of Oscar statuettes began that things began to slow down.
