Chapter 173 The Power of Oscar
It seemed to feel colder. Shi Xiaolong got out of bed and turned on the air conditioner, raising the temperature.
Chen Linfeng hates the dry feeling caused by air conditioning heating, so he usually does not turn on the air conditioning when sleeping.
"Then you should pay more attention to the director's work. You might have the opportunity to become a director in the future."
Shi Xiaolong quickly shook his head, "I can't do that. I don't have that. ability.”
For him, director is still a very high-level profession, and not everyone can be it.
Chen Linfeng did not give much advice. When anyone can become a director in the future, Xiaolong will naturally be tempted.
In the later era when orthodox martial arts films were scarce, Xiaolong found a better book and copied it. As long as the action scenes were exciting enough, they would attract the attention of the audience, just like Xie Miao Same.
He wrote this down and prepared to guide it slowly in the future.
That night, the two chatted until very late. The next day, they wanted to sleep in, but were told that they were not allowed to sleep in on New Year's Day, otherwise it would be unlucky.
Chen Linfeng spent a day full of resentment, and it took another two days to fully regain his energy.
At this moment, the Oscar nominations were announced. Among the best animated short films, Chen Linfeng's "Wingless Bird" was successfully shortlisted.
Sister Mei’s voice was trembling when she called to tell him the news.
"Xiaofeng, Oscar, this is the Oscar!"
Chen Linfeng said helplessly, "Sister Mei, calm down, ours is just an animated short film, even if we win the award, it's not worth anything. Money, don’t be so excited.”
Even so, he couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, yes, calm down, I can't hold my breath." Sister Mei said angrily.
"I won't tell you anymore, I have to deal with the media first."
Although it is the time of the Chinese New Year, public opinion is still making a fuss.
Media in the film, television and entertainment industries publish reports as soon as possible as if it’s not the New Year.
"Chen Linfeng's work was successfully nominated for the Oscar and may win the first Oscar in the Mainland"
"Analysis of the possibility of Chen Linfeng winning the Oscar"
"Why Lao Mouzi can't win the award" , but is about to fall into the hands of a student director.”
Not only did he book the result in advance, but he also praised him. He is worthy of being an entertainment news worker.
The news spread faster on the Internet and exploded.
"What's going on? How come you suddenly won an Oscar? Does Xiao Chen want to shake things up?"
"Isn't the relationship over with a Silver Lion?"
"I want to know now , what is Director Zhang Da’s mood?”
“Don’t believe what the entertainment tabloid said, he hasn’t won the award yet.”
Chen Linfeng gave the network team a task early. Go online at home and try your best to suppress the comments about popping the champagne in advance.
Not to mention the chance of sudden death if the champagne is opened at halftime, just being too arrogant at this time, if you really don't get it, the backlash afterwards will be enough to cause a headache.
But how can this kind of thing be suppressed? Fans of Chen Linfeng online, whether they are book fans or TV drama fans, are crazily advocating.
Other passers-by, thanks to Chen Linfeng’s genius character design, could not help but believe that Xiao Chen might really make history.
Many people in the industry couldn't help but called Chen Linfeng.
“Brother Xiao Ming, it’s too early to be happy now that you don’t have a single horoscope.”
This is an early congratulations.
"Hey, Teacher Wang, it's okay. The public relations company has helped me every step of the way. I don't have to do anything."
This is to ask if I need help.
"No need, no need, let's talk about the details when we go back to school." This is just to get close.
Chen Linfeng was so annoyed that he had to answer the phone. After all, the people who knew his personal number were all well-connected people.
The popularity inevitably spills over, and Chen Linfeng's two upcoming dramas are known to many people.
The last time something like this happened was before the broadcast of "Lotus Lantern".
This time it was the director of Princess Diaoman’s turn to be surprised. The TV series will be aired after the New Year. As a result, the leading actor broke big news during the Chinese New Year.
This is really a good thing. The producer, Huanya Video, quickly started to take action, gathering the workers from his company and directly starting the publicity warm-up online.
In fact, Mango TV, the premiere broadcaster, had already started publicity years ago. Now, in order to capitalize on the popularity, they have increased their publicity on the Internet.
Huanya Video also contacted Chen Linfeng and asked him to record another video and send it as promotional materials.
Of course that’s the end of it.
Because on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, that is, February 3, Chen Linfeng set off for Neon to attend the Akutagawa Prize award ceremony.
He temporarily forgot about the hustle and bustle in the country.
Noma was still as enthusiastic as ever. He was a little surprised at how the young man in front of him had become so handsome after not seeing him for a year.
However, Neon people are still very capable of both internal and external aspects. No matter how magnificent they are on the inside, they cannot be seen on the outside at all.
"Chen Jun, long time no see." After saying that, he bowed deeply.
It has only been two years since he was promoted to deputy editor-in-chief. Now with the retirement of the editor-in-chief, he has successfully taken over.
However, seeing Chen Linfeng again, Noma was not at all complacent after his promotion, but instead became more humble.
Neon doesn’t know yet that Chen Linfeng has been nominated for an Oscar.
After all, there is only an English title on the shortlist. It is difficult to know the relevant information about the author unless someone in the industry specifically checks it.
In China, because the work Wingless Bird has won the Silver Lion Award and is well-known, I was immediately associated with myself among the shortlisted works.
Chen Linfeng asked Noma, "Do you have a good chance of winning this award?"
Noma assured with confidence, "Chen, please rest assured, the works competing with you in the same period, The gap between her and "Her" is too big to pose a threat at all."
Chen Linfeng glanced at the other party worriedly, wondering if he was bluffing himself. If he couldn't achieve it, he would just do a neon traditional performance and bow out.
Actually, Noma is not bragging.
Neon The current public opinion among literary critics is almost fanatical about the book "Her".
On the one hand, they feel that it is shameful for foreigners to have insight into the chronic diseases and inherent phenomena of their own society.
On the other hand, because of Chen Linfeng's international reputation, it is also very revealing for such a great writer to be able to use today's neon social form as a future imagination in his works.
The intertwining of these two kinds of thinking has led to the rise of neon's national sentiment, and public opinion has gradually become more inclined to the latter.
Chen Linfeng was in the hotel and was a little overwhelmed after seeing the relevant newspaper comments.
What the hell is this? Can the Neon people not apply everything to themselves? I clearly wrote it based on the future of China.
It can only be said that the three East Asian countries are somewhat similar. Although the nationality and moral concepts are different internally, there will always be some similarities on the surface.
For example, the development trend of female boxing, the overtime culture, and the generally relatively introverted personality.
After all, they are all areas deeply influenced by Confucian culture.
Sister Mei also felt strange after reading these comments in the newspaper. When she read it before, she did not feel that the descriptions in the book were similar to neon.
But looking at the comparisons made by these experts in newspapers, it can be more or less related.
