Chapter 553 Oscar’s Appointment
The next day, Leon and others came to say goodbye to Li Chen.
Leon came with Richard from Warner Bros., and "J.Edgar", which will be filmed in November, will be produced by Warner Bros. and starring Leon.
After attending the press conference of "The Hunger Games", a few people have completed their mission.
"Li, you never thought about chasing the Oscars. The Oscars are the highest honor for us filmmakers."
"Although you already have the Palme d'Or and the Golden Lion, the Little Golden Man is still the undisputed NO.1"
Leon had done some research before he said this.
China's Chen and Zhang are also well-known directors, and their efforts to win Oscars have not been repeated.
No filmmaker can resist the temptation of an Oscar.
However, this talented director shrouded in a mysterious aura seems not to be interested in Oscars.
His works have never represented Chinese films in the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
The Hollywood media and friends like Leon were greatly puzzled.
Every well-known director may have his Oscar dream come true.
Maybe Nolan is, maybe Li Chen is too.
This is also the reason why he is willing to make a bet with Li Chen as long as he does not share the remuneration if he loses.
This guy has never won an Oscar before, but just because he hasn't before doesn't mean he won't in the future.
The Hunger Games might be a good start.
"Leon, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? The Oscars are too variable." When Li Chen said this, he glanced at Warner's Richard intentionally or unintentionally.
Richard was confused.
Before he met Leon, he had inquired about the film rights to Warner Bros. before the novel "The Revenant" was published as early as 2001.
I heard from Nolan before that Bale hoped to star in "The Revenant", but later Warner didn't make any progress.
Warner doesn't seem to take the show very seriously.
Li Chen was thinking about whether to "get" the rights to "The Revenant" from Warner Bros. to fulfill his obsession.
It's just that changing players is like changing swords. In terms of skills, he thinks he is not weaker than Alessandro.
But as he said himself, there are too many variables in the Oscars, and the waste of manpower and material resources is a trivial matter, but public relations is too time-consuming.
Chen Kaige, who was at the height of his popularity at that time, won seventy or eighty awards with "Farewell My Concubine".
Even the Golden Globe Award, which has the Oscar indicator, is within reach.
Despite the high expectations, he accidentally missed Jingzhou and missed Oscar.
If Chen Kaige really won the Oscar statuette back then, then Gege would be like holding a black and yellow exquisite pagoda on my head, ignoring all attacks.
"The Promise" cannot make Mr. Ge give up walking sideways.
Perhaps Lao Mouzi can regain this advantage only by waiting for the Olympic Games to become a god.
As for Li Chen, he was firmly overshadowed by Mr. Pigeon.
Leon and Richard left the hotel.
"Do you think he will compete for Oscars in the future?" After getting in the car, Leonardo seemed to be asking Richard, and he seemed to be asking himself.
"Definitely. Even if it's for Crystal, he won't be without ideas."
"Hahaha, that's right." Leon was in a good mood and felt that this trip was not in vain.
At the same time, Liu Yifei was also curious: "Does Leon want to work together with you to win the Oscar?"
"You're right, it's all for profit." Li Chen pinched Miss Liu's tender face. "Then can you help him?" Miss Liu seemed to think that the Oscar was organized by Li Chen, and she unconsciously felt that the Oscar would be her husband's prize sooner or later.
Li Chen laughed loudly: "You really think Oscar is our pet. Feed him something and he will wag his tail at you."
"I've got the Palme d'Or and the Golden Lion. The house is sparkling with gold, and there are all the animals and plants. It seems that all that's missing is a little person."
"Please think about it, I also want to see you and Leon, the two "little plums", lift the statuette at the same time."
"That will definitely become a good story!" Liu Yifei joked, holding back her laughter.
Li Chen snorted: "Why does it sound like you don't mean what you say?"
Liu Yifei finally couldn't help laughing: "I swear, this is my truth!"
Deng Ziqi has been in working mode since the release of "Unstoppable".
Warner spared no effort to get "Unstoppable" off the charts.
Tim is also busy negotiating the copyright of "The Hunger Games" with film producers from various countries in Europe and Asia.
Li Chen and Liu Yifei stayed in Venice for another two days, and did not prepare to leave for Milan until they attended the premiere of Andy Lau's "Sister Peach".
As for the finale of "Thirteen Hairpins", Han Sanping said that he would rush over to personally support Lao Mouzi.
Yang Siwei returned to China to prepare for the 100-day banquet of Xiaowuxia.
Li Chen had already decided on the list of guests and celebrities from all walks of life, so he couldn't be careless.
The response to "Sister Tao" was very good, but it was basically directed at Ye Dexian.
Ms. Liu burst into tears after watching it and said frankly that her performance was really good.
Until I got on the plane, I seemed to still be immersed in that artistic conception that was as quiet as flowing water and deeply touching.
I have to say that the role of "Sister Tao" is very suitable for a middle-aged woman like Ye Dexian who has life experience and experience.
"Don't envy her. Acting requires life and experience to modify it, and of course it also requires talent."
"Among young actors, you don't lack talent and love. What you lack is time and experience. Take your time. We are all still young and have plenty of time."
Liu Yifei leaned in Li Chen's arms and admired the floating clouds passing by the window.
He nodded slightly and said yes, feeling extremely peaceful.
The three major European fashion weeks every year are a barometer of celebrity status.
Only the most popular female celebrities or spokespersons are eligible to be invited.
This year’s Milan Fashion Week is no exception.
This is especially true for people like Fan Zongtong, Yang Mi and Tang Yan also set off for Milan.
After arriving in Milan, Li Chen spent two days with Miss Liu.
Yang Mi and Tang Yan arrived.
The premiere of "Thirteen Hairpins" caused a sensation.
Especially when Nini and Han Xiting appeared on the red carpet of the premiere wearing cheongsams made by cheongsam master Zhang Shuping.
The media barely recognized Nini as the ordinary-looking Chinese girl who walked on the red carpet of the opening ceremony.
Seven of the top ten hot searches on Weibo are related to "Thirteen Hairpins" and looking for a girl.
Sina Entertainment
""The Thirteen Beauties" had its world premiere in Venice, and "The Girl" became popular overnight. Nini, who plays the heroine Yu Mo, put on a cheongsam to interpret the true meaning of "Smoke and Beauty"."
"On September 9, "The Thirteen Hairpins" held its world premiere in Venice. This sincere work by Zhang Yimou with an investment of 600 million was exactly the same as the earlier "The Hunger Games" press conference, and won the approval of film producers and media from various countries. unanimously sought after.”
"Originally, many media thought that Bell would definitely play the leading role, but after watching the premiere, they discovered that Nini, the scheming girl, is the soul of "Thirteen Hairpins"."
