During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 510: Nominate Wei Jin Again and Vow to Never Become a Cao Thief
On the 10th, all the nominations for the 85th Academy Awards were announced.

When the news reached the country, it caused a great shock.

"Excerpted from Academy Daily:

The mainland film "1942" directed by Feng Xiaogang, the Hong Kong film "Overheard" directed by Johnnie To, and the Taiwanese film "Flying Against the Light" directed by Zhang Rongji all failed to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

"Excerpted from Academy Daily:

The English film "Life of Pi", directed by Chinese director Li An, was nominated for this year's Oscars.

Nominations include: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Original Song, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Sound Effects.

"Excerpted from Academy Daily:

The film "Gravity", directed by Chinese director Wei Jin and starring Zeng Li and Cheng Long, was nominated for this year's Academy Awards.

Nominations include: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects, and Best Sound Editing.”

The film industry was indeed in an uproar. To be more precise, the entire Chinese-language film and television industry was stunned by the news coming back from Hollywood.

Crazy, crazy.

The three films nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film by the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong were all eliminated; but the two films that registered for the regular awards without using the recommendation quota emerged as a dark horse.

The two great directors Li An and Wei Jin received 7 and 8 nominations respectively, including several important awards.

The key is that both of them have proven themselves many times at the Oscars, so their chances this time are great.

Although it was already evening in China, people were chatting animatedly online.

"Oh my god, it's worthy of being called Wei Jin. 8 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Editing, and Best Cinematography. This is really high quality. It's amazing!!!"

"Li An is also amazing, with 7 nominations, which is even better than Brokeback Mountain."

"Except for Avatar, there has never been another science fiction film that received so many nominations, right?"

“Isn’t Life of Pi considered a science fiction film?”

"Not really. Even though it's 3D, it's a fantasy adventure movie."

"There is no harm without comparison. I feel sorry for Feng Dapao for a minute. I gave you a chance but it is useless."

"This year we have double insurance. It is possible that both the Best Director and Best Picture awards will be won by Chinese. Yay! Yay!!"

"The above poster, you are dreaming, how is it possible, there is no way that the Best Picture award will go to a Chinese, unless they change their nationality, I said this, even if Jesus comes, he will say the same thing"

"Brother Jungun, come quickly, there is another sheepdog here."

"."

Wei Jin didn't know how to describe his feelings. The news from Hollywood was announced at around five in the morning.

He received dozens of calls from North America early in the morning, including Leonardo, Matt, Nolan, Robert Downey Jr., Ryan Reynolds, Charlize Theron, and Taylor Swift.
Even Christine and Ashley, with whom he had had a one-night stand many years ago, called. These people were even more excited than Wei Jin.

It was finally noon and the situation had just calmed down when the call from China came again.

You have to know that it is already around midnight in China. Don’t these people need to sleep?
Jing Tian called and expressed some regret, saying that he would not have returned home if he had known earlier.

Liu Yifei said that the film crew will arrive in North America in a few days, and the position of the female companion at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony can be reserved for her.

Sister Li, oh, Sister Li didn’t call. I guess this Buddhist sister has already gone to sleep with Dudu.

Fan Bingbing, this slutty vixen, was complaining on the phone, lamenting her bad luck that she was actually nominated for the Best Supporting Actress for her role as the third female lead in "Silver Linings Playbook".

However, she said that she would attend the Oscars with the crew this time, and would then accept Wei Jin's investment.

Night owl Liu Shishi also sent a congratulatory message, and proudly told Wei Jin that the voting for the new four little beauties had already begun, and she had a great chance.

Others such as Naza, Liu Yan, Tian Ai, Ni Ni and others also sent congratulatory messages.

After receiving more than a dozen calls, Wei Jin was really overwhelmed, so he handed the phone to Huang Mengying and asked her to help handle it.

When I arrived at the garden, I saw Da Meiyuen basking in the sun, holding her tablet and grinning foolishly. I didn't know who she was chatting with, but her goddess temperament was gone even with her smile.

"Xiao Jin, come and take a look. Your Weibo account is very lively."

Da Meiyuan's eyebrows were curved, the corners of her mouth were raised, and she looked proud.

"Okay, let me see what these people are doing instead of sleeping."

Wei Jin sat down next to the beauty, took the tablet and took a look at it.

Wow, my goodness! The comment sections of his personal Weibo and Shanhe Media’s official Weibo are already crowded with people.

Many people who failed to get through to him on the phone just now were now congratulating, teasing, and flattering him under his Weibo.

Especially those who have a good relationship with each other, they speak in a very disrespectful manner.

"Lao Wei, I'm a three-gold Grand Slam winner and my acting skills are amazing. When will you take me to the three major European awards and the Oscars? I'll do whatever you want."

"Boss, your loyal servant sends you the most sincere blessing. Um, when will you consider me? I will shoot whatever the director tells me to do. I won't go west if you point east. I will never chase away dogs if you catch chickens. I am always obedient."

"Congratulations, Mr. Wei. I voted for you. See you on the Oscar red carpet."

"Brother, congratulations."

"."

Wei Jin didn’t know what to say. Did these people treat his Weibo as a place to chat?
"Xiao Jin, Sister Li won't come for the Golden Globe Awards, but the Oscars should be coming soon, right?"

Wei Jin held the beauty in his arms and nodded: "Well, she will bring Dudu over during the Spring Festival, and our family will spend the New Year together."

Thinking of the cute Dudu whom she hadn't seen for several months, the pregnant Da Meiyuan smiled like an aunt. Then, as if she thought of something, she suddenly gave Wei Jin a blank look.

"By the way, you should bring Mengying with you to the parties these days, so that those female stars won't throw themselves at you."

"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Yuanyuan."

Faced with Da Meiyuan's strict defense, Wei Jin could only smile and shake his head. Women are really fickle.

In the early morning in China, "Gravity" appeared on CCTV's morning news and was reported for a full minute.

After all, with eight nominations, the probability of winning is too high!
As the art exam is approaching, Beijing Film Academy will naturally not miss the opportunity to hype it up.

Early in the morning, they followed their fine tradition and put up banners. They also updated the news on their official website and Weibo:
“Congratulations to Wei Jin, an outstanding graduate of our school’s 02 directing department, for being nominated for eight Academy Awards with his sci-fi blockbuster “Gravity”. I wish him great success in his Oscars!”

The font size is enlarged and bolded, as if afraid that the art exam candidates will not be able to see it.

The news of the Oscar nominations completely set the entire domestic entertainment industry on fire in just a dozen hours.

Some media outlets wanted to watch the fun and made a special trip to interview Feng Dapao. Isn't this just rubbing salt into someone's wounds?

But perhaps because he has really gained fame, Feng Dapao is particularly careful about his reputation and appears quite generous in front of the camera.

"I wish Director Wei Jin every success. He has always been outstanding. I hope he can win a few more trophies for China."

Chen Shishi and Zhang Yimou, who have dominated the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film for many years, are also within the media's range. "The nomination is of course worth congratulating, but young people should keep a calm mind. It is very rare for a science fiction film to be nominated. "Avatar" only won 9 out of 3 nominations, and they are all small awards. Don't be impatient."

Poet Chen has always been very stubborn. This is already a very tactful way of saying it. He is not optimistic.

However, Zhang Yimou decisively stood on the side of Wei Jin.

"Gravity is definitely a groundbreaking film. I believe it will have a good result. After all, Director Wei is best at breaking records!"

Some media outlets are smart enough to take a different approach and compile a list of the Oscar awards that Chinese people have won so far.

So far, Chinese have won 24 out of 9 Oscar categories, including:

Best Director Award (Wei Jin, Li An); Best Foreign Language Film Award (Wei Jin, Li An);

Best Cinematography Award (James Wong, Hei Pau); Best Art Direction Award (Tim Yip);
Best Original Soundtrack Award (Tan Dun); Best Supporting Actor Award (Wu Hanrun);

Best Original Screenplay Award (Wei Jin); Best Documentary Short Award (Yang Ziye); Best Animated Short Award (Chen Zhiyong);
When this set of data came out, the entire entertainment industry and the Internet were once again in an uproar.

Everyone recalled the bold words Wei Jin shouted at the Oscars three years ago:

"One day in the future, Chinese people will be able to win all the Oscar awards."

Now it seems that Li An and Wei Jin do have a great chance of achieving their goal.

If this achievement is truly achieved, it will be a major historical event that will change the history of Chinese-language films!
Then everyone was judging the best outcome of this year's Oscars.

It was finally discovered that if Li An and Wei Jin were nominated as the best combination, the number of awards won by Chinese would be expanded to 16, which would be one step closer to winning all categories.

It’s just a bit regrettable that the two directors’ nominations overlap in four categories.

This also means that Wei Jin and Li An will be absolute competitors at this year's Oscars, which is a pity.

Wei Jin had no time to pay attention to the news in the country. Starting from the evening, he took Huang Mengying to attend the public relations reception hosted by Summit Entertainment.

Just as Gao Yuanyuan expected, there were really countless female stars who wanted to throw themselves on him, even though Huang Mengying was already holding his arm tightly.

For example, the beautiful blonde in front of you, wearing a blue dress and with big wavy hair, looks extremely enthusiastic.

"Wei, your movie is really great and full of artistic beauty. I wish you win both the Golden Globe and Oscar awards."

Wei Jin held the girl's soft little hand with a faint smile on his face.

"Thank you, Miss Black."

That’s right, the person in front of you is Blake Lively, one of the four most beautiful actresses in Hollywood.

In fact, Blake Lively became famous very early.

At the age of 11, he starred in his first movie "Sandman" and began to enter the North American entertainment industry.

At the age of 18, she was nominated for the 7th Teen Choice Award for Best Breakthrough Movie Actress for her role in "Summer of Jeans".

At the age of 19, he starred in the campus comedy movie "Admission Notice", which further expanded his popularity.

However, what really made her famous was the TV series "Gossip Girl" which became a hit in North America.

From the first season to last year's sixth season, each season has caused a huge response in North America.

Since 08, she has been known as one of the four most beautiful actresses in Hollywood along with Kristen Stewart, Amanda Seyfried and Emma Roberts.

Although it was the first time that Wei Jin met her, they were actually not strangers to each other because she starred in the movie "The Shallows" produced by Summit Entertainment last year.

The role was assigned by Hunter in order to take advantage of her popularity and fame accumulated from "Gossip Girl".

As it turns out, it has indeed achieved very good results.

But perhaps it was precisely because of the huge sales of "The Shallows" that Blake Lively became quite interested in Wei and Jin.

Blake is no naive person to have reached her current position in the world of fame and fortune in Hollywood. She is well aware of how powerful this handsome Oriental man in front of her is.

Although she is already one of the four young actresses, Wei Jin can help her go one step further.

At this moment, her face showed her iconic, charming smile: "Wei, if there is a role suitable for me in your project, you are welcome to contact me at any time."

Wei Jin knew very well that this woman had been laying the groundwork for a long time, and this sentence was the key point, so he nodded immediately:

"If I have the chance, I will never forget Miss Black."

Wei Jin thought the greetings ended there, but unexpectedly Blake blinked his big eyes and made a further invitation.

"Wei, do you want to try my play first?"

Huang Mengying: “0.0”

Inside the bathroom of a villa in Beverly Hills.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Huang Mengying expressed her doubts while enduring the director's audition.

"What?"

Wei Jin held Ju Shi in one hand and replied while shooting vigorously.

"That's it, Blake, isn't she beautiful?"

"Pah! That's not bad, what, do you want something else to happen between me and her?"

Huang Mengying tensed up after being hit, then stuck out her tongue and explained, "I'm just curious."

"Haha, you weren't observing carefully enough. Didn't you see the ring on her hand?"

"Is that why?"

Huang Mengying endured the impact, and a hint of disbelief appeared on her blushing face.

"Crack! Crack!"

Although Wei Jin couldn't see Huang Mengying's expression due to the shooting angle, he could tell what the girl was thinking from her tone, and he couldn't help but slap the beautiful butt in his hands.

"Who do you think I am? I never refuse men and women, but I have never touched a woman's wife."

To be honest, 25-year-old Blake is youthful, beautiful, and her bright and generous appearance is indeed the type that Wei Jin likes.

But this woman had already married the jerk Ryan last year, and Wei Jin asked himself if he could do anything to flatter his friend.

What's more, Wei Jin swore to death that he would never become a thief of Cao!
"Boss, I was wrong"

“Hehe, if apologies are useful, what’s the point of having the police? Get ready to be educated, pa~~pa~~pa~~~”

"Ah~~ah~~"
