Chapter 391 The Oscar Vane of Unrivaled Victory
A movie that lasts longer than 3 hours is neither too much nor too little.
"Lord of the Rings", "The Godfather", "Schindler's List" and "Titanic" are all like this, there is no reason why they can't do it.
What Bruckheimer is more confident about is that their film is the first film since "Avatar" to actually use 3D shooting mode from the filming process.
Other movies, even if they are claimed to be 3D movies, are actually only converted to 3D in post-production, and the effect will be much worse.
For other movies that want to shoot in 3D, most of them have just started the project, and the progress is much slower than them.
As for the first true 3D movie after "Avatar", it will be much easier to do in terms of publicity.
Not to mention, the quality of the work, the picture and expressiveness have improved.
Thinking of this, Bruckheimer couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, he followed Chen's persuasion.
Of course, James Cameron's own name is also a top priority.
And when he saw the original film of "Avatar" through special channels, he immediately agreed to the idea of 3D shooting.
At the expense of face, we invited relevant technical talents from Cameron’s team.
Now that I think about it, it was really profitable to hire Chen to play the leading role.
He can also help you in other places, which is almost like having another director.
……
On February 22, the British Academy Film Awards were announced.
This time Chen Linfeng didn't go because he had to film on the set. It was Zhang Yimou and the others who received the award.
Perhaps sensing the change in the direction of Hollywood, the final Oscar indicator gave a completely different result from the past.
"Sunset" won 5 awards for Best Film, Director, Actress, Cinematography, and Editing.
Became the biggest winner in the award ceremony.
By the way, the TV award, "Sherlock", also won the Best Actor Award.
Liu Qianqian collected it for him.
Speaking of film awards, "The Hurt Locker" only won 3 awards: Best Actor, Sound Effects, and Screenplay.
The worst thing is "Avatar". No matter how many nominations it received, it only won two consolation awards for best costume design and visual effects.
It's not even as good as Quentin's "Inglourious Basterds," which at least had a Best Supporting Actor.
When Chen Linfeng got the news for the first time, he was a little surprised.
Ying Ao is really brave. This way of awarding prizes is exactly what he has seen in his dreams.
Considering that Oscars tend to have a high overlap with British and Austrian results, could it be...?
Chen Linfeng couldn't help but think too much.
Six Princess International News Department.
"Are you out?"
"Nothing came out when I asked again, wait."
"Are you out?"
"And asked, hey, it's out."
Li Teng from the International News Department exclaimed.
Everyone gathered around his computer to look at it. It was exactly the result sent back by their colleagues in the UK.
"Okay, to win 5 awards in a row, including the most important ones for best film, director and leading actress, this is going to heaven."
“It’s really awesome, you deserve to be Xiao Chen.”
Minister Wang Wenyuan pinched his beard and heard the roars of his subordinates. He didn't feel noisy in his heart, but felt happy.
Zhang Han directly raised his hand and said, "Minister, I will apply to go to the Oscar interview with the team when the time comes. I will take the trouble to travel."
"I'll go," Li Teng was furious. You don't have martial ethics.
"Minister, I am also applying. I am good at English. Let me go."
"You two have just been on a business trip. This interview is so hard. You should rest at home. Minister, let me do it."
"I'm not afraid of hard work, minister, let me go."
They all know the value of the British and Austrian films, and now they all want to go to the Oscars to witness "Sunset" making history in person.
Whether it's the Best Film Award, the Director or Actor Award, any one of them is a heavyweight.
What's more, it's possible to get two or even all of them.
Wang Wenyuan's face sank, "What are you arguing about? Do you think it will be your turn for this good thing? When the time comes, the station will definitely launch a live broadcast program, and it will not be your turn to interview."
"Hey~" Everyone wilted instantly.
Yes, this is a good thing, and others must be watching.
Their departments really may not be able to take the turn, especially at Channel 6. The International News Department is just a decoration, not as prestigious as other channels.
At the same time, Yao Miao also learned the news.
She immediately went to the station manager to apply, and when the time came, she would go to the scene to cheer for Directors Chen and Zhang, and also give an exclusive interview by the way.
The station manager knew that she had a good relationship with Xiao Chen and readily agreed.
Naturally, preparations for new live programs have also begun.
Most departments of the entire Sixth Princess were moved.
"Chen and Zhang won 5 awards at Yingao, including the best film, director and actress awards"
Soon, Sina, NetEase, Penguin, Sohu, and almost all portals and news media published the news that "Sunset" won the award.
Since the Oscar nomination list came out, "Sunset" has received 8 nominations, becoming the most promising domestic film in history to win the award.
The public's attention instantly increased a lot.
Later, news came about the email scandal, the parade in the beautiful country, and Hollywood's support for "Sunset".
Domestic expectations for the duo of Chen and Zhang are getting higher and higher.
Now the news of Ying-ao's award has come.
Everyone is more convinced of their own point of view, that is, "Sunset" has really great hope.
At this time, there is less than half a month left before the final Oscar awards. "Sunset" directly started large-scale screenings.
The film is well known enough to meet screening standards.
After waiting for more than 10 days, the Oscar results will come out. If the achievement is really great, then there will be another wave of box office excitement.
Movies like "Sunset" are of a long-term type and are different from commercial movies, so this is appropriate.
Initially, the number of openings was 300, and the attendance rate of "Sunset" was maintained well, and it started to increase after three days.
Hall 400, Hall 600, Hall 900, stopped temporarily at this level.
Next, let’s look at the results of the Oscars. If they are good, the number of venues will soar.
At the end of February, Cao Weiguo and Sister Mei found Chen Linfeng together.
The CEO of Sina and the main person in charge of its Weibo came here to sign a formal contract.
Since Chen Linfeng conveyed his investment intention around October last year, in February this year, a formal contract was finally negotiated.
The conditions were in accordance with the conditions proposed by Chen Linfeng, and the other party had no objection.
This investment intention, unlike other business cooperation, has not been widely publicized.
They signed the contract quietly.
Then Cao Weiguo invited Chen Linfeng on the spot and officially joined Sina Weibo.
Backstage in China, the "Golden V" logo was immediately given to him.
Chen Linfeng took advantage of the situation and posted his first Weibo post:
"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Linfeng. Starting today, I will officially join Sina Weibo."
Soon, someone saw it and responded.
"Huh? Is it a real person?"
"Holy shit, it's really Xiao Chen. Brother, you are also on Weibo."
"I'll go, there's v, it's a real person, let's touch it in the front row."
Thanks to Sina's push the day after tomorrow, the number of followers soon reached thousands, and the number of comments continued to grow.
Chen Linfeng looked at it for a while and stopped paying attention.
"Mr. Chen, I hope you can post more on Weibo in the future, preferably as you did on your blog before."
Cao Guowei watched the other party's account opening and posting process throughout the process.
I also saw the comments from netizens later.
I feel that it is Xiao Chen who is truly unrivaled in terms of fame.
They took this factor into consideration when they accepted Xiao Chen's investment.
Not only Xiao Chen, but also Liu Qianqian.
With Xiao Chen, that is probably not far away.
Chen Linfeng nodded, "Don't worry, people who post on Weibo are indispensable. It will be the Oscars in a while, and I will also post some content about the Oscars."
"That's great," Cao Guowei said happily, he is really on the right track.
In the next few days, Chen Linfeng posted some thoughts on filming on the set on Weibo from time to time.
Sometimes I also upload some photos of the crew.
Netizens like this very much, and they all have a sense of curiosity about the filming process in Hollywood.
Even "Hermione" is seen in some photos.
This gave them a real feeling that "Xiao Chen is an international superstar".
Sometimes Liu Qianqian would also join in the fun and ask Chen Linfeng to take photos of her and upload them.
Netizens complained, "Don't you have a Weibo account?" "Go away while showing affection, without even noticing"...
In addition to Sina's early promotion, Chen Linfeng's own popularity also played an obvious role.
The number of followers quickly went from a few thousand on the first day to tens of thousands, and by the third day, it had exceeded the 100,000 mark.
And as more and more people learned that Chen Linfeng had opened an account on Sina Weibo, they even logged on to Weibo to see what he said on Weibo.
The growth in the number of attention continues to accelerate.
At this time, Weibo celebrities were not as taboo as later generations and could say almost anything.
Chen Linfeng follows the local customs, is relatively relaxed, and can post some humorous jokes.
It's just that he is a person from later generations after all, and he is very aware of the ability of netizens to demystify history.
Therefore, he will not touch some truly taboo remarks.
Dodging the boomerang starts with me.
"Xiao Feng, are you on Weibo again?"
"Yeah, it's more fun at this time. In a few years, it will become a garbage heap, and I won't be able to play anymore if I want to."
"You are saying something incomprehensible again," Liu Qianqian said speechlessly.
She made a disgusted expression, and then said excitedly, "I'll also create an account on Weibo. How about we play together?"
"No," Chen Linfeng quickly stopped.
"Celebrities can't come here in vain. Sina must give them some benefits."
Although Weibo now has his share, it does not prevent him from finding ways to get more benefits for his girlfriend.
"Oh, okay, I'll ask my mother to try to contact them later."
"Well, let Aunt Liu be more reserved. Just say that we are not a family. Just because I am on Weibo does not mean you have to join. Let them watch."
Liu Qianqian nodded, "That's right, I gave him all the blogs, Weibo can't let him go."
March 7, the night of the Oscars, has finally arrived.
Chen Linfeng straightened his collar and slowly got out of the car.
I had a high fever yesterday, and I still have a low fever today. I barely managed to write 6,000 words
