Chapter 604 [31] "Departures" has become popular before its release, and the preview date has been confirmed!
"Departures" won the 78th Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film! "

"Chen Yu's new film "Departures" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!"

"Making history, a Chinese mainland film won an Oscar!"

"Departures becomes the first Chinese film to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!"

"The first Chinese foreign language film to win both the Venice Golden Lion and the Oscar!"

"Departures" is officially scheduled to premiere on April 4 during the Qingming Festival holiday! "

"It will be released next month, and the preview of "Departures" will start on March 3th!"

……

The next morning, when Chen Yu woke up, he saw overwhelming reports about "Departure Director" in the country, some of which were purchased press releases.

Of course, more importantly, it is due to the fermentation of the Oscars.

The first Oscar-winning foreign language film from mainland China.

Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the first Chinese film, it is a co-production between Taiwan and the United States and has different political significance.

The previous "Farewell My Concubine" was actually the one closest to the Best Foreign Language Film, but Chen Kaige didn't know how to operate it at the time, and in the end he lost by one vote, which became his biggest regret.

"Brother Yu, you're awesome!"

Zhang Yimou also sent a congratulatory message, as did Stephen Chow, Li Yang, and Huang Xiaoming.

Wang Jiawei unexpectedly sent a text message.

It can be seen that an Oscar has indeed changed many people's views on Chen Yu. After all, this circle is nothing more than gaining connections and status.

In the eyes of Chinese people, the status of the Oscars is indeed higher than the three major European awards in some aspects.

It's not because of the awards, it's purely the market.

The North American market is the most developed region in the global film industry.

Being able to win an award here represents strength and background, so it is normal for people to send messages one by one.

Chen Yu responded one by one. Even if he won an Oscar, he should not be too arrogant. Chen Yu has always kept a stable mentality. He can look down on or be indifferent to certain people, but on the surface, the relationships he maintains and the work he does are all in place.

For example, Zhang Yimou, Hua Yi, Wang Jiawei and so on, they do have a certain status and influence in the circle. After all, keeping to themselves is just an ideal, and most people prefer to blend in with the world!
It’s not a question of whether you are afraid or not, but there are no interests involved. It’s good for you, it’s good for me, and it’s good for everyone.

Unless someone provokes you in front of you, according to the life experience and character accumulated by Chen Yu in his past and present lives, harmony is the guarantee for maintaining stability.

As long as interests are not affected, everyone is actually a good person.

"Premiering on April 4rd..."

Chen Yu received Yu Dong's message. In fact, "Departures" had already been scheduled for the Qingming Festival before the Oscars.

This year's Qingming Festival is another evil holiday adjustment. We work normally on the 1st and 2nd weekend, and have holidays on 345. Then after two working days on 67, there is another 2-day weekend.

That is to say, during the first week of the release of "Departures", there were five holidays out of the seven days.

Although there are not as many rest days as the Spring Festival period, it is also a good period. For the public, there are 7 consecutive days before Qingming Festival, but for the film market, there are five holidays a week, which is comparable to the Spring Festival period.

The preview screenings next week are also to maintain the popularity and publicity.

Yu Xin and Bona are very confident about the movie "Departures", not because of Chen Yu or the box office, but because of the quality and reputation of the movie.

Oscar plus Venice Golden Lion, that's the best marketing.

Previews and promotions started half a month in advance, and when the film was actually released, relying on Chen Yu's box office appeal and the public opinion from the awards, everyone was looking forward to the box office of the film, even though it was just an art film.

Not to mention "Escape Plan" which surpassed the Spring Festival schedule, "Escape Plan" is already a phenomenon and there are only a few of them in the past few years.

But the box office shouldn't be too bad.

In fact, Chen Yu also wanted to see, without the halo of the Spring Festival period, what heights an art film could reach?
The previous box office record for domestic art films was last year's "A One Man's Journey", which took in more than 4300 million. If nothing unexpected happens, "Departures" will probably surpass that record, the only question is how much it will eventually take.

ding ding ding-

Chen Yu was brushing his teeth while video chatting with Liu Yifei on his computer.

The two of them are at different time zones recently, so they can only "meet" each other at this time in the morning.

It was just past 9 o'clock in the evening in Huaxia.

"Missi, you just got up? Don't you have any announcements today?"

Liu Yifei's face, without any makeup and even a little rough, was facing the camera, looking like a rural girl in "Blind Mountain".

"Yes, I have to go there soon. I have to go to "Access Hollywood" and "The Hollywood Reporter" in the afternoon to record three programs..."

Chen Yu was rinsing his mouth and wiping his face. Liu Yifei put her hands on her knees, supporting her cheeks with her palms, and watched her boyfriend brushing his teeth and washing his face in the screen seriously. She missed him a little.

Yesterday, she was the first to learn that "Departures" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and sent a congratulatory message to Chen Yu.

"Then this morning belongs to me?"

Liu Yifei giggled and was still very content.

Because of their work, the two of them are rarely together and apart, which is a reality that cannot be changed at present.

Fortunately, both of us are very ambitious and care about each other, so we have talked about this topic before.

Cherish the time you spend together so that every time you meet you will feel fresh.

"Well, I'll have someone bring up breakfast!"

After Chen Yu finished washing up, he pressed the service bell in his pajamas.

"By the way, where is the little golden man? Let me see it!"

Liu Yifei didn't talk much with Chen Yu last night because she knew he must be very busy.

"Dengdengdeng-"

Chen Yu handed the Oscar to the camera. Liu Yifei held her hair and looked at it seriously, her eyes shining. "Great, this is real. I've only seen it in pictures and movies before!"

"Haha, you can also take a look at the video. I will give it to you when I return to China!"

"I don't want it. This is the honor you earned. If I want it, won't you work hard for it?"

Liu Yifei said this as a matter of course. Although she knew that this goal might be very far away and might not be achieved in a lifetime, people should always have ideals. Even if they cannot be accomplished, having such an obsession in your heart will be the driving force that pushes you forward.

"Okay, then I look forward to the moment when you get the little golden man!"

"I mean it!"

Chen Yu sincerely gives Liu Yifei emotional value, and in this respect Chen Yu is actually more confident than her.

A hard-working person, if she has the background and resources, will definitely succeed!
The reason you fail is not because you don’t work hard enough, but because you don’t have opportunities, background or resources!
Of course, Chen Yu transcends these categories. He is a reborn person. This is his greatest resource and the strongest one among all the people in the world.

"Why do I feel like you believe I can win an Oscar more than I do?"

Liu Yifei smiled in surprise.

Chen Yu nodded: "Yes, I believe you because I believe in myself, believe in the other side of the future I'm looking for, and believe that I have the ability to do it!"

"You've become so inflated after winning the Oscar, Lao Chen!"

Liu Yifei covered her mouth and smiled, with one foot on the chair, looking very lazy.

At this time, the doorbell rang. It was Chen Yu's breakfast.

"It's not that I'm arrogant, it's that I'm confident!"

It comes from the self-confidence of those who are reborn.

"Well, I've eaten this big pie, but now it's in your girlfriend's hands. There's only one best newcomer, so she can't be confident!"

Liu Yifei asked Chen Yu to answer this question. Chen Yu put the breakfast in front of him and said while eating: "Take your time. I, your boyfriend, don't even have the best newcomer award at the age of 18..."

Chen Yu is good at comforting people.

Liu Yifei always felt that Chen Yu was just giving her chicken soup, but she had no evidence. After all, what he said was true.

At the age of 18, Chen Yu really had nothing.

But it took him less than 5 years to reach where he is today.

And every step taken seemed to be calculated, one step at a time, one leap at a time, and now we have arrived at the Oscars' home court.

Sometimes Liu Yifei actually wondered, these roles and opportunities, even if Chen Yu was his own plan, but how could he be sure that he could become a part of the plan?

This is what Liu Yifei has always been puzzled about.

It seemed like he had never failed once, just like his auditions for "House of Flying Daggers" and "Kung Fu".

Now, even less so.

In fact, these are not enough just relying on confidence and strength, nor opportunities. Liu Yifei is also in the vortex of the entertainment industry, where there are often unspoken rules and certain interests involved... But Chen Yu can succeed.

It would be fine if it happened once or twice, it seemed like nothing had ever stumped him.

It is normal for him to have the confidence he has now. Anyone would have this kind of personality.

But...she is not!
Then why did Chen Yu believe that she could do it?
Just because you are his girlfriend?
Can he win the award himself and help others win the award as well?
This is too sci-fi.

Liu Yifei didn't quite understand that Chen Yu was trying to PUA her and brainwash her to the point of believing that she could win the award.

After talking so much, Liu Yifei actually believed that she could do it.

And she really didn't know what rebirth meant to a person.

It is no exaggeration to say that one can defy fate and change one's destiny.

You can also change other people's destiny!
If Liu Yifei was a loser, Chen Yu would not waste any words on her; but in her previous life, Liu Yifei was one of the few actresses in the entertainment industry who was serious about making progress. If she was given resources and opportunities, her possibilities would be much greater than those of others.

To put it bluntly, the global entertainment industry is even more entertainment-oriented than China's. It is all about decadence and luxury, and everything is about money.

Works, box office, and ability are all indispensable. As long as you can achieve these three points, any award will be icing on the cake!
Coincidentally, Chen Yu can control two of them.

He can screen the works, and he knows which works can get box office and awards, so winning the awards is just a matter of time.

This is like being reborn to make money. You know who has the ability and which company will rise, so it's just like getting to know him and investing in him.

Never leave its origins.

"husband!"

Liu Yifei suddenly covered her earphone and shouted. Chen Yu, who was eating with his head down, raised his head. This shout was rare, after all, Liu Xiaoli was still behind her.

"When will you return home?"

Liu Yifei asked as she looked at Chen Yu who was looking up.

Chen Yu calculated the time: "Let's say the 10th. I'll be flying to Japan tomorrow and should be able to return home the day after tomorrow. The filming of "The Sun" will be finished this month!"

"When we have the roadshow next month, I'll accompany you if I have time!"

This is exactly what Liu Yifei wanted to hear from Chen Yu.

Sometimes the tacit understanding between two people is just so perfect.

"Okay, I should be able to wrap up next month. This is the first time I've shot for such a long time, and I feel like I've improved a lot!"

"Well, Director Li is pretty good at filming. This type of film has a high chance of winning an award!"

"..."

The two chatted on video for almost 2 hours. Seeing Liu Yifei yawning in the camera, Chen Yu hurriedly said, "Go to sleep, we'll talk again tomorrow morning!"

"Well, good night... Oh, good morning from your side..."

Liu Yifei chuckled and stretched.

"Good morning, it's almost time for lunch!"

Chen Yu smiled and waved to Liu Yifei from a distance, and Liu Yifei hung up the video reluctantly.

Looking at the computer screen that suddenly went black, Chen Yu was actually a little reluctant.

However, for the sake of his own dreams and that of his significant other, Chen Yu had to work hard to adapt himself to the pace of Hollywood.

After going downstairs to the gym to exercise for a while, Chen Yu received a call from Larson.

Yojiro Takita and others were also waiting downstairs. They were arranged by 21st Century Fox to go to "Hollywood Live" to record a special interview on the Oscars, and then a personal interview with Chen Yu.

This was not only published in magazines, but also reported on television.

In the evening, there was a recording of an entertainment variety show called "Access Hollywood".

Tomorrow will be the North American release ceremony and fan meeting of "Taken".

"Marzen, is Harvey's show on in the morning?"

Why doesn't anyone give me feedback on the ratings?
Chen Yu felt very strange, so he got in the car and asked his female manager.

She and Larson and the others had to accompany him.

"Well, it's aired, and the feedback is pretty good. The ratings tonight should be very good!"

Mazen was talking there, and seeing the confusion on Chen Yu's face, he couldn't help but say, "Chan, you don't think the morning show is broadcast in the morning, right?"

"Yeah, Harvey told me it's airing this morning!"

"Hahaha!"

Several foreigners in the car started laughing.

"Yes, the morning show is broadcast in the morning, but the official broadcast is in the evening!"

"This kind of celebrity interview usually has three versions: the broadcast version, the official version, and the online version. The online version is a channel launched by Harvey himself two years ago. It is very popular on the North American Internet!"

“But his larger audience is offline!”

“The radio version is like a preview, you can listen to it while driving, and if you find it interesting, you can watch it on TV in the evening!”

Larson was sitting in the passenger seat and turned to talk to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu understood a little.

Preview!

Although this is a morning show, which means it can be listened to on radio channels across North America in the morning, because it is an interactive interview, sometimes pure audio is of course also possible.

Anyway, it is a language variety show, and some people may not have time to watch it at night, so they can listen to it on the way.

However, Chen Yu’s program can be regarded as a preview.

Because it contains action elements, you have to watch the video to see the exciting parts. So many viewers who listen to it in the morning and think it is good will turn on the TV to watch it again in the evening.

Damn, the Americans have really taken the commercialization of the show to the extreme!
"Awesome! The Americans really know how to have fun!"

Chen Yu smiled and shook his head, just like his subsequent interviews and the corresponding Hollywood Reporter magazine release.

There are also programs that are broadcast, and you can make twice or even N times the money from one interview.

It would be strange if this Hollywood star’s pay wasn’t high.

There are business opportunities and ways to make money everywhere, it just depends on how you realize them.
