Full-time actor

Chapter 466 [31] Marvel’s changes under the butterfly effect!
Harvey Weinstein, this guy was so famous in his previous life.

On October 2017, 10, the New York Times exposed this guy's sexual scandal. Since that day, almost every once in a while, someone in Hollywood has come forward to accuse him of sexual harassment or assault, more than 5 cases.

At the same time, many unspoken female and even male fanatics were discovered.

A sad reality is that similar accusations may never end - the reason is simple, unspoken rules are part of the Hollywood film and television entertainment system, and even to a certain extent, the history of Hollywood is a history of sexual assault.

The same is true for Japan and South Korea, including China...but China still has a little room to float. After all, money does not mean everything, power does.

And the fat white man in front of Chen Yu, who looked brilliant, was also closely related to China.

In 1995, he acquired many films by Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat and Cheng Long.

The popularity of Cheng Long and Jet Li has something to do with him. The popularity of the audio and video market for these two Kung Fu superstars in the world was created by him.

And this year, he even spent a lot of money to obtain the rights to Chen Kaige's new film "The Promise" in North America, the United Kingdom and Australia.

He said that "The Promise" was fully released in the United States in December 2005 and would impact the 12 Oscars. If "The Promise" wasn't so bad, it would be really possible. After all, "The Promise" was shortlisted for the American Golden Globe Awards. Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.

clap clap clap!
Countless people applauded there. After Lao Mouzi sat down with the statuette, he still looked very excited; Zhang Ziyi also picked up the heavy trophy with excitement. For her, this may be her last Oscar trophy. The most recent time.

The films he has participated in the production and distribution have been nominated for more than 300 Oscars and won more than 70 statuettes. A person who can influence the Oscar awards is absolutely powerful, otherwise he would not have won awards from Harvard, France, Britain, etc. Medal of Honor etc.

This guy's catchphrase is to promise the actress that he can win her an Oscar.

The international chapter should have known about this guy's reputation. Compared with the domestic unspoken rules, the old American might have to play more perverted, so she didn't accept it; in fact, many domestic actresses have said this in interviews.

After this guy bought the North American distribution rights of the sunglasses king "The Grandmaster" in his previous life, he told Zhang Ziyi during a lunch at the Cannes Film Festival that he would do his best to promote her and ensure that she could win the award for her performance in "The Grandmaster". Oscar for Best Actress - on the condition that she agrees to join him in the sequel to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

After all, he was nominated for Oscars 22 times for films for which he served as a producer or executive producer, winning 6 of them.

Lao Mouzi held the trophy for best director high, finished his acceptance speech, and bowed down the stage.

Mainland China’s first Oscar winner for Best Director, China’s second!
"Thank you!"

Moreover, in fact, mainland films such as "Hero", "Shaolin Football", and "Kung Fu" were able to go international because of this guy's intermediary operation. Jiang Zhiqiang's connections in the United States include him.

Tomorrow's Chinese media should explode.

Seeing Lao Mouzi giving his acceptance speech on the stage, Chen Yu felt that he should be very excited to win the award.

"We have to hold a celebration banquet when we get back. Are you all in the imperial capital?"

Even such a bad movie can be nominated, which is enough to show the irresponsibility of American awards and the fact that there are outsiders.

Zhang Weiping mainly watched Chen Yu and Zhang Ziyi. The two are currently filming in Japan. Zhang Ziyi must be fine, but Chen Yu spread his arms: "I may not have time, I will join the team directly the day after tomorrow!"

This is the reason why many Chinese actresses who have been in Hollywood have not made it big.

Including Zhang Ziyi, but International Zhang rejected his invitation many times.

Although this was said in a very subtle way, many people actually understood it after the Weinstein incident was exposed.

"fine!"

Harvey Weinstein, apart from several agencies that have the ability to publicize the Oscars, he is also the most capable one.

"We will celebrate tonight, no one can be absent!"

Zhang Ziyi said through her spokesperson: "The contracts offered by Weinstein are all balanced by his preferences, which I cannot accept. Although an Oscar is every actor's dream, I don't think it can be used as a bargaining chip."

Zhang Yimou obviously didn't take it to heart, but Zhang Weiping on the side was a little unhappy.

But he couldn't say it out loud. Chen Yu's personality was like this. In the past, he would definitely participate in such things, but now, he really doesn't rely on the domestic circle for a living, so there is no need to show off to anyone.

What's more, Zhang Weiping also relied on Lao Mouzi. Without him, he is actually nothing. His business operation can be done by another person.

Besides, it's not a big deal.

After careful consideration, Chen Yu still felt that it was important to film by himself.

A few minutes later, the final Oscar of this year, Best Picture, went to Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby."

At this point, the 77th Academy Awards has come to an end.

Zhang Yimou won this year's Oscar for Best Director for "House of Flying Daggers", and the country has become completely agitated.

After all, not to mention the domestic live broadcast of this awards ceremony, many Internet portals have carried out graphic live broadcasts; there are still a lot of netizens paying attention to this matter.

"Zhang Yimou: China's second Oscar-winning director after Li Yu!" 》

"Zhang Yimou, one of the three major domestic directors, broke through and won the Best Director Award at the 77th Academy Awards! 》

"Tonight belongs to Zhang Yimou and "House of Flying Daggers"! 》

……

Countless portals reported this news, including many overseas websites, which also reported on this incident.

Unlike Chen Yu, who was having a dinner there to celebrate, Kevin Feige, the vice president of Marvel Studios, came to the home of Marvel Entertainment President Avi Arad late at night.

The master of ZTE, who brought Marvel from the brink of bankruptcy to profit, is now 57 years old. He has a haircut like Einstein and received his most capable subordinates in his conference room.

"Boss, New Line's buyback plan must have failed!"

Kevin couldn't help but talk as he walked in. Avi Arad frowned and invited Fitch to the study room at home.

Although the repurchase failed, Arad was not as sad as Kevin.

Because he actually doesn’t support Marvel making its own movies, which is very risky; for a former boss in the toy industry, maintaining capital and making a profit is the best solution. This means he gets several dollars from various movie companies every year. Wouldn’t it be nice to get a share of tens of millions of dollars?
The "Spider-Man" series has earned more than 20 billion globally, and Marvel has received 3900 million US dollars. Why do they want to make their own movies? !

You must know that this time, independent filming is definitely an extreme plan for Marvel!
The kind that allows only success and no failure.

Marvel hasn’t gotten to that point yet!

Now it is a company that is making profits every year. Why should it go to extremes by making its own films?
"Iron Man" in the previous life was definitely a huge gamble. Because the character isn't a household name like the Fantastic Four or Spider-Man.

As the director of "Iron Man", Jon Favreau is not known for blockbusters. Robert Downey Jr., who plays Iron Man, is more famous for his public life than his film works.

This guy is currently at the lowest point in his life.

He was arrested and imprisoned many times for drug problems and was just released after serving his sentence two years ago.

The image of drug abuse is in urgent need of a character to redeem and redeem it.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be street material.

And most importantly, "Iron Man" is Marvel Studios' first movie as an independent production company.

If "Iron Man" fails, Marvel Entertainment will directly face bankruptcy, reorganization and acquisition.

This is obviously impossible for a company leader to do, so the biggest difference between him and Kevin Feige is this; Kevin Feige, as a die-hard Marvel fan for 30 years, must hope that Marvel became a kingdom.

And Avi just wants to get some dividends every year, hold 20% of Marvel stock in his hands safely, and watch Marvel's stock price rise step by step.

This is also the reason why he directly sold his shares and left Marvel after the "Iron Man" project was established.

In his opinion, "Iron Man" is doomed to fail, so why not run away in advance?
"Is this the Chinese boy you were talking about?"

Avi looked at Feige, who nodded: "Yes, he said he wanted to make "Iron Man" himself!"

"Hahaha, that's okay. How much is he prepared to invest?"

Avi was very interested in Chen Yu's investment in "Iron Man".

"He can say anything, but the boss, Iron Man, is one of our backup hero options for Marvel's next independent film. And compared to Hulk, X23 and Captain America, I think this hero is the most suitable!"

"Listen, Kevin!"

"I didn't say that Marvel must produce a film independently, I just want to hear your plan!"

Avi Arad said unceremoniously: "It's just a backup plan. If several other movie studios' hero movies fail, we can restart the shooting plan. Do you understand?"

"Everyone is currently making movies about our heroes. This is a good opportunity. Why can't we let them help us make money?"

"Don't you know how risky film investment is?"

"Boss, the board of directors also agreed to let us make a movie ourselves!"

Fitch emphasized there, a little upright.

The reason why he didn't say how much money Chen Yu spent to invest in Marvel just now was because he had his own little idea.

If Avi really didn't agree to the filming, he decided to unite with the board of directors and take measures to force her to have an abortion.

This is his last resort.

At present, many of the shareholders of the Marvel Business Department, the Screenwriting Department... several boards of directors, as well as the company's top executives, are on his side; the main board of directors is very dissatisfied with Avi's salty style in the past two years.

Avi wants to pay dividends, but other shareholders want to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory; otherwise, why not start Marvel Studios and just start comics.

"If this Chinese guy wants to make "Iron Man", there's nothing we can do against him!"

"Now that New Line has sold the copyright to him, it will take at least 5 years before he can buy it back!"

"If he shoots it, at least we can get a fortune—"

"Boss!"

Feige directly interrupted Avi: "We at Marvel can cooperate with him to film together, which can reduce a lot of risks!"

"What's the difference between that and independent filming? You just raised an investment?"

"..."

The two people argued in the office, and soon Kevin Feige shook his head and walked out of Avi's house with a speechless expression.

He finally figured out that his boss had no intention of making an independent film at all.

"shit!"

He grabbed his tie and couldn't help but cursed secretly, walked outside and stood there looking at the dark sky, a trace of determination suddenly flashed in his eyes.

It's time to make a decision.

Marvel can no longer remain in the hands of this old guy. He is already decadent and content with the status quo; and he is only 32 years old and in the prime of life. It is time for him to make some achievements and prove himself.

"If the joint board of directors confirms the plan, Avi is likely to leave the company in anger..."

"In that case..."

Fei Qi thought of what Chen Yu said as he patted his shoulder before leaving.

Invest in Marvel?

If you buy Avi's shares, will he still have money to invest in Marvel's new movies?

Thinking of this, he immediately took out his mobile phone, looked around, and prepared to call Chen Yu to ask.

If he is really wealthy, then this is not a bad idea. After all, he doesn't care about his boss, Avi Arad, for a day or two.

At least after Chen Yu bought Marvel, he and he should be allies on the same front.

From chatting with him in the afternoon, Feige could feel Chen Yu's desire to shoot "Iron Man"; unlike Avi, a bastard who just wants to lie there and collect money, he is really a narrow-minded and Sit in the bitch and watch the sky!
