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

Chapter 681 is so damn good! Is Leo still running as a runner-up? Being a screenwriter is the right path!
Entering the main venue of the Oscars, Chen Fei saw many familiar faces from China at a glance.

Zhang Ziyi, Li An, Gong Li, and Wang Jiawei who seemed to have his sunglasses welded to his face!

"Fei!"

Li An spoke fluent English and waved enthusiastically towards Fade Chen.

Fade Chen smiled back, but did not approach them. Instead, he went straight to the front of the venue and found Michael Mann who was entertaining people.

Looking around, Fade Chen also saw several main actors.

After greeting everyone, Chen Fei had a brief chat with Michael Mann about the current status of the film.

"We have already recovered our investment in the box office, with a global box office of 1.4 million, more than four times the investment..."

Chen Fei added at the right moment: "Now the only thing left is to win the award?"

"Correct!"

When the word "award" was mentioned, it was obvious that Michael Mann suddenly became nervous, as if he dared not even breathe.

"Don't be too nervous. We have made a lot of efforts and I believe we will get something out of it."

Chen Fei comforted him with a few words, then found his seat and sat down in the front row.

Oscar was quite considerate of him and specially arranged Liu Yifei to sit next to him, so that the two of them were right next to each other.

As for the crew of "Nomadland", they are relatively behind.

As time passed, more and more people filled the theater.

Leonardo DiCaprio, who walked the red carpet twice in "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "The Great Gatsby", also entered the venue and sat next to Chen Fei.

"How are you? Are you nervous?"

Chen Fei just asked casually, but he never expected that the smile on Little Leo's face suddenly froze.

He turned his head and glanced at the Lincoln crew not far away, and said with some depression and confusion: "I heard some bad news. Now I just hope that this news is false."

……

Soon, as the host came on stage, tonight's Oscar awards ceremony officially kicked off.

Although he was used to hearing American jokes, Chen Fei still felt a little indifferent. In comparison, he still liked domestic talk shows and the like.

As for the English singing that followed, it was more like a hypnotic spell to him.

Except for Taylor Swift who sang pretty well, everyone else was chattering and I didn't know what they were doing!
After a drowsy hour, the award ceremony finally began.

No matter which film festival awards ceremony it is, the grand prize, as the highlight, must be awarded last, and the first awards to appear are always those that are so small that they cannot be any smaller.

Best Live-Action Short Film, Best Documentary Film, Best Animated Short Film, Best Music, Best Editing…

"Iron Man 3" is at the top level among all science fiction movies in terms of sentiment, special effects, and box office, so it successfully won a series of secondary awards such as visual and photography.

Most people were applauding and congratulating, but those surrounding Warner were somewhat silent.

Both are comic book-adapted movies, but Marvel is doing very well while DC is not always successful. There are only a few that can carry the box office, which is really frustrating.

"The winner of the 86th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film is "The Great Beauty" (Italy)!"

“Lost???”

Listening to the names announced by the award presenters on the stage, Fade Chen subconsciously turned his head to look at Wang Jiawei.

It can be clearly seen that Zhang Ziyi's smile has frozen on her face, and although Wang Jiawei's eyes cannot be seen because of his sunglasses, from his expression and actions, he is obviously surprised as well.

Both of them applauded and congratulated like everyone else, but how they felt was probably only known to them.

Thinking back to the many promotional slogans and advertisements that Zhang Ziyi had posted on Weibo, Chen Fei felt inexplicably embarrassed for her.

This time, won't they be ridiculed and destroyed by Li, Fan and Bingbin themselves and their fans?
Once the Best Foreign Language Film was announced, we got down to business.

“Actor, director, screenwriter, editor, photographer… He seems to be able to do everything. He is not even 30 years old this year, but he has already gained a great reputation in the global film industry!

Golden Bear, Palme d'Or, Golden Lion, Oscar, Golden Globe, Saturn... the awards he has won are far beyond what most people can imagine!

Science fiction, literature, drama, magic, fantasy, epic... none of his works have ever tasted failure, and all of them have been box office hits!"

On the stage, the award presenter was talking incessantly, and when he was deeply moved he even waved his hands, as if he had seen Jesus resurrected.

Meanwhile, in the audience, Fade Chen, who was enjoying everyone's admiring gazes, only felt a little embarrassed.

"Stop bragging. Come on, just read out the names. How long have you been waiting?"

Amid his prayers, Spanish actress Penelope Cruz and Italian producer Robert De Niro finally announced the winners:

"The winner of the 86th Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay is Chen Fei from Nomadland!"

Warm applause resounded throughout the venue. Chen Fei remained calm, walked up to the podium with ease, and then took the trophy and certificate handed over by the two people.

"I would like to thank the crew, the judges, and everyone who supports me. In the future, I will definitely create more and better works to give back to my fans and those who like me..."

Time was limited, so Fade Chen didn't say much. He thanked everyone as usual and then walked down the podium.

He has walked on the Oscar podium many times, and he has at least 10 golden statues displayed at home.

It was just a Best Adapted Screenplay Award, a minor event. There wasn't even a ripple or wave in his heart.

The only thing that surprised him was that the crew of "Nomadland" did not aim for the Best Adapted Screenplay award this year. He didn't know what the judges were thinking when they suddenly gave him such a gift.

After walking off the stage and returning to his seat, Chen Fei handed the trophy to Liu Yifei who was looking at him eagerly.

Miss Liu is actually an award fanatic, but unfortunately she is immune to awards. The biggest award she has won is the Saturn Award for Best Actress.

"Fei, congratulations on winning another Oscar."

Looking at the trophy that Liu Yifei was playing with, Leonardo was eagerly looking forward to it. He really wanted it!

"Leon, I believe you can get it too."

Chen Fei cheered him on and encouraged him, while silently wishing him good luck in his heart.

If he hadn't said those bad things about Oscar, he would have won it by now and wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble.

Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor...

Two more awards were announced.

"I'm going to go first."

Liu Yifei returned the trophy and certificate to Chen Fei, and then walked quickly to the backstage under the guidance of Oscar staff.

When the Best Actress Award was about to be presented, she appeared on the scene with elegance as the award presenter.

Below the stage, a group of media from China were almost going crazy, and they were snapping pictures from all angles.

Winning an award is a symbol of strength and status, and being able to present an important award is also a symbol of status.

You know, the person who presented the Best Actress Award together with Liu Yifei was last year's Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey.

This also means that in the eyes of the Oscar organizing committee, the two people are equally famous!
Isn’t this a kind of affirmation?

“Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine.”

When the best actress went on stage to receive the award, Fade Chen clearly noticed that Leo's legs were stretched straight and his whole body was shaking slightly, almost uncontrollably.

As the actress stepped down from the stage, the faces of several nominated male actors and their wonderful clips in the films appeared one by one on the big screen.

"You must hit it, you must hit it..."

Little Leo murmured in a low voice, clenched his fists, and stared at the shining little golden man on the stage like a pervert on the train, his eyes full of desire.

"Congratulations! The winner of the 86th Academy Awards for Best Actor is Daniel Day-Lewis for Lincoln!"

In an instant, Little Leo's face turned pale, and he slumped in the chair, almost sliding down.

He has been a runner-up for 20 years and has been nominated nearly 10 times, but he still hasn't won the coveted Oscar. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to him! Fortunately, he has a strong will, otherwise he might have gone crazy on the spot!
Chen Fei stretched out his hand, helped him straighten up, and whispered to comfort him: "Leon, don't be discouraged, we still have a chance. I said that I would definitely help you win an Oscar. Don't you believe me?

The Revenant will definitely be a success, even if it means waiting in line to receive an award, it will be your turn next year..."

On the stage, Daniel Day-Lewis, an experiential actor, was giving his acceptance speech.

For him, this award was also hard-earned.

During the filming, he even asked a psychologist to hypnotize himself and made him think that he was Lincoln himself!
Spielberg was also very cooperative. For three and a half months, he kept calling the actors by their characters.

He referred to Sir Daniel Day-Lewis as "Mr. President" (i.e. Abraham Lincoln) and Sally Field as "Mrs. Lincoln" or "Molly" (i.e. Mary Todd Lincoln).

Interestingly, during filming, Daniel Day-Lewis even signed an international treaty in the White House studio that was being built, simply carving the image of the president into his mind.

Coupled with the subject matter of this film, it can be said to be a natural award-winning film!

Spielberg prepared for 12 years just for this moment, so Leonardo’s loss was not unfair.

On the stage, Daniel Day-Lewis was almost done with his acceptance speech, and Leo had also recovered some of his strength.

"Don't be discouraged!"

After a few words of encouragement, Fade Chen let go of his hand, stood up and walked quickly towards the backstage.

He will present the Best Director award at this year's Oscars.

……

Turning to the backstage, Chen Fei saw his partner for the night, Angelina Jolie.

"Hello, Fei."

"Long time no see, Julie."

The two of them greeted each other briefly, then walked up to the podium under the guidance of the staff.

After receiving the envelope from the organizer, Fade Chen opened it himself, and then looked down with Angelina Jolie.

When he saw the name written on the envelope, Fade Chen smiled.

Stepping forward, he announced directly: "Congratulations to Michael Mann for winning the Best Director Award for "Nomadland"!"

"yeah!"

Accompanied by warm applause, the 71-year-old Michael Mann walked to the podium with vigorous steps, almost jogging.

This director, who has made many excellent works such as "Miami Vice", "Flash Point", and "Collateral", finally won the coveted Best Director Award at the age of 71!

Facing the microphone, he excitedly said eight words: "I have no regrets in my life!"

Chen Fei smiled and thought to himself, "Why not let this old man be my assistant director? Help me shoot The Revenant together? And bring a younger director along, so I can save a lot of effort..."

……

After the Best Director Award was presented, the highlight of the night finally arrived.

"12 Years a Slave" successfully won the grand prize!
Offstage, Fade Chen inexplicably wanted to laugh at the Oscar judges.

It's not really a good film, but it focuses on political correctness, and it's the kind of film that would cause the Academy to be heavily criticized if it doesn't win an award.

As a result, those old white men in the academic school were forced to deify it.

Even if you feel very uncomfortable and painful, you have to force yourself to swallow it.

At this point, the Oscars ceremony officially ended.

The subsequent dinner time became a carnival moment for many female stars.

In order to show the most perfect body shape on the red carpet today, many people have not eaten for a long time and are relying solely on nutrient solution to maintain the basic needs of the body.

Therefore, actresses can be seen everywhere at the banquet, eating hamburgers or high-protein, high-calorie foods.

"Fei, let's start preparing for the new play. I'm ready to spend three months in the wilderness. This time, I must get back everything I lost!"

Leonardo DiCaprio seemed to have suddenly figured it out, and became very motivated again. He even started urging Chen Fei to start filming "The Revenant" as soon as possible.

"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet. There are still thirteen months until the next Oscars. It's still a long time..."

Chen Fei persuaded him for a long time before he calmed down.

"What you need to do now is to adjust your state first. I have already arranged everything with the crew. We will officially start filming in a week. I don't want you to lose your balance and fail to perform because of tonight's awards ceremony."

"Don't worry, it won't happen!"

Little Leo patted his chest and made a solemn promise.

……

When the dinner in Hollywood officially ended, due to the time difference, it was exactly around 12 noon in China.

As expected, all major entertainment news websites are flooded with news about the Oscars!

"This year's Oscar Awards ceremony came to a successful conclusion. Many domestic actors and directors attended the ceremony and won applause."

"Nomadland, written by director Chen Fei, was nominated for two of the five awards, winning the Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director awards."

"Actress Liu Yifei made a surprise appearance at the Oscars ceremony and served as the co-presenter of the Best Actress award with last year's Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey."

"Director Chen Fei will be the presenter of the Best Director Award!"

"It is a pity that the Hong Kong film The Grandmaster failed to win the Best Foreign Language Film Award. It ended with regret. Actress Zhang Ziyi said that she would not admit defeat and would once again launch a charge for the Oscar."

"International movie star Leonardo DiCaprio once again ran for the Oscar for Best Actor, but unfortunately lost to Daniel Day-Lewis..."

……

Although this is the umpteenth time that Chen Fei has won the award, it still caused a sensation in the mainland film and television circles!
What shocked everyone was not that he won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, but that he personally won an Oscar for Best Director!
Before this, when he brought Ning Hao, Lu Yang and Shen Ao to the Berlin International Film Festival, everyone was already shocked.

And now, he has produced another Oscar-winning director.

There's no need to elaborate on how awesome this is. Just thinking about it makes me excited!
Now that he has been able to make someone win the Oscar for Best Director, will there be a chance that he can also win these people from our country the Oscars and bring back two awards in the future?
Almost no one thought that Chen Fei could not do it.

Because his name alone is worth a big prize!
Under the comment section, a group of people from both inside and outside the industry were chattering and commenting, expressing congratulations, and some were even showing off.

"Is it my turn next? I also want to go to the Oscars, and I want to win the Best Actress award and bring glory to my country!"

"Sister Xun, you have to line up behind me. I've known Brother Fei longer than you!"

"No more talking. I'm going to fly to Los Angeles right now to learn from a master!"

"Leonardo is so pitiful, Director Chen, can you help him win an Oscar?"

"Sissi is amazing! She can even present the award to the best actress. Will she also become an Oscar winner in the future?"

……

At the same time, Han Jianv, who was serving as the assistant director of the "Hundred Regiments Offensive" crew, saw the news of Chen Fei's award and the topic discussed by many people online, and her eyes lit up instantly:

"Screenwriter is great! Screenwriting is the right path! You can even promote someone to be the best director at the Oscars!"

She muttered excitedly, and glanced at Han Sanping who was busy drawing storyboards outside. She just felt that her father was too stupid.

Being a director is so tiring. You have to be busy with this and that every day. After shooting a movie, you will look several years older.

It is more comfortable to be a screenwriter. All you have to do is write the work and then find someone to do the work. At most, you can be a producer or supervisor, and you can control the overall situation...

The more she thought about it, the more Han Jianuo felt that being a screenwriter was the right path!

Of course, she didn't dare say such things in front of Han Sanping, otherwise Old Han would definitely tear her apart!

She planned to watch it secretly by herself, and then come up with a masterpiece that would "shock the world and make the gods and ghosts cry", which would definitely scare Old Han!
