Chapter 390 Tea Art, Movie Length
On social media such as Twitter and Facebook.
Chartier became a complete clown.
"I really didn't expect that in the second decade of the 21st century, there would still be such xenophobic and racially inclined people."
"It's normal. That's what those old white men think. Naturally, someone will agree with them. It can be seen from that email that this is almost the consensus in that circle."
"I have seen "Sunset" and the media's evaluation is right. It is a perfect work of art, much better than "The Hurt Locker"."
"..."
In addition to Emily Ken, media from various countries have also begun to report on it.
Even more so in China.
I said that "Sunset" has such high reviews, but it still doesn't win awards. It turns out that it's a villain, and the awards are unfair.
Now, the Oscar organizers are completely frustrated.
They quickly issued an announcement, saying they would deal with the matter seriously and guaranteed that "Sunset" will and will receive fair treatment.
Chen Linfeng knew that this kind of thing must be handled well, otherwise going too far would be too much.
Therefore, he has not said a word since that interview.
There is no connection or small tricks behind the scenes.
Even when those who were demonstrating contacted him, Chen Linfeng did not come forward.
Anyway, the main focus is on one, I am the innocent little white flower and the victim.
During this period, Oscar officials called him, hoping that he could forgive them for their work mistakes and said they would make corrections to the situation.
Chen Linfeng seemed to obey the arrangements and believed in your words, which meant that the matter was settled.
The external tone is mainly aimed at the tabloid that talks nonsense, claiming that it will definitely pay the price.
Soon, several law firms came to the door and wanted to provide free prosecution services to the "Sunset" crew.
Everyone is very smart and firmly upholds the policy of openness and inclusiveness.
Then Rob Friedman called.
"Boss, Catherine asked me to apologize to you on her behalf."
"Well, what next?" Chen Linfeng knew that this was not the point.
Rob said with difficulty, "Then, she hopes that the two families will stop fighting each other, which will only give Cameron and "Avatar" an advantage."
"But I have always kept my promise and have not attacked The Hurt Locker. She is the only one looking for trouble with me."
Rob sighed, that was the difficulty.
In fact, when he made the agreement, he knew that the agreement was useless and was just a rhetoric.
There are so many reports of the three parties slandering each other. It is hard to believe that "Sunset" did not attack "The Hurt Locker".
The most important thing is that the report that uncovered the tabloid’s racial remarks was most likely done by Chen and the others.
Otherwise, no matter how lucky it is, it will be picked out.
But it's useless to say anything now. They haven't been discovered, but if you are discovered, it's your fault.
What's more, Chatier's email was so outrageous, I dare say, it was as if someone had cast a spell on it.
Rob could only find another way to persuade, "Boss, after all, we have profits from "The Hurt Locker", I think it's better not to make it too rigid.
If the reputation of "The Hurt Locker" is completely ruined, we will lose a lot. ”
Chen Linfeng actually doesn't care about this. He knows that "The Hurt Locker" in his previous life was the Oscar-winning movie with the lowest box office in history.
This life will probably be even worse.
It seems that audiences in beautiful countries don't like this kind of non-sexy movies with the main theme.
But this cannot be said openly.
Chen Linfeng thought for a while and said, "As of now, this matter is already beyond our control.
Let's find some time for Catherine to apologize in the newspaper in the name of the crew, and then I will issue a conciliatory statement. ”
Anyway, no matter what you do now, you can no longer reverse the trend of public opinion.
He really liked showing tolerance and tea skills at this time.
Rob knew it was useless, but if you were in the industry, your reputation couldn't be too bad.
After the two parties reconciled, Catherine was able to restore some reputation, at least allowing people in the circle to continue to associate with her.
Chen Linfeng can also have a tolerant and tolerant persona, and he is not so prominent.
After all, it was such a big deal this time.
The celebrities and entertainers came out to help talk, but they were not sure what they were thinking.
At this time, you have to take two steps back.
Moreover, Catherine and Cameron have an unusual relationship. Even though they divorced, they still keep in touch.
Cameron is a real boss, and it is useful to have a good relationship with him.
Of course, that Chartier had no hope of gaining his forgiveness.
On the contrary, I have to mention it from time to time in the future. In the novel, this is the representative villain of racism.
No matter what, the persona of revenge must still be maintained.
……
At the filming location of "Infinite World", Chen Linfeng went to work as usual.
Emma, Benedict and others all looked at him with complicated expressions.
Yesterday, "The Hurt Locker" released an apology statement, which made everyone burst into tears.
It can be regarded as a clear expression of repentance for the previous incident.
In this case, its Oscar competition is very detrimental.
"Chen, come on!" Benedict gave him a thumbs up.
"Chen, I support you!" Emma patted him on the shoulder like a little adult.
As soon as he started like this, others also joined in, expressing support and encouragement one by one.
There was still a queue, it looked like that.
Chen Linfeng said speechlessly, "ok, thank you all for your encouragement, it's time for us to get to work." "Okay, sir." Everyone responded in unison.
Chen Linfeng's prestige among the crew is still very high, especially after this incident.
Everyone is afraid that because of any neglect, they will be misunderstood and looked down upon.
Although Chen is still very kind, rumors about his past role in "Taken" have also spread.
Everyone knows Chen's style, and comparing it with now, it scares them even more.
"Xiao Feng!" Liu Qianqian poked his waist from behind.
"What are you doing? Don't make trouble."
"Do you think we have any hope of winning the best movie this time?" Liu Qianxi said seriously, she was too curious about this.
I especially want to hear my boyfriend’s judgment.
Chen Linfeng has thought about this problem more than once recently.
Now that we have reached this juncture, we must want to do something big.
But thinking about it carefully, I think it may not be big.
It can be said that this time the Oscar organizing committee was forced to make a decision by the situation.
Anyone who encounters this situation will not feel happy.
Even though he behaved obediently enough and cooperated from beginning to end.
But there is no way to talk about emotions.
Chen Linfeng thought about it if he were the organizing committee.
Due to the situation, he had to pay attention to "Sunset", but it didn't mean that he had to satisfy the crew all at once.
As long as it's shown that "Sunset" is taken seriously and there's no racism involved.
Especially recently, some media reports that Chen Linfeng has seen are not quite right.
"Racial discrimination is certainly wrong, but we should not be too biased towards a certain work because of this.
A certain work is excellent, but other works also have their merits, including foreign works.
Therefore, sufficient fairness and justice is the responsible approach for all works. ”
Chen Linfeng told Qian Qian his considerations.
Finally, he guessed, "There may be many awards, but the most important ones, Best Film and Best Director, may be separated and divided between two works."
"Why?" Liu Qianqian pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "I think our "Sunset" deserves it, so we should win all the awards."
Chen Linfeng shook his head and said with a smile, "How can there be such a good thing in the world? Don't forget, my age is always at issue here."
If it weren't for the cooperation with Zhang Yimou, even the previous popular situation would not have been possible.
What kind of award do you want at your age? The most you can get is a nomination.
If you want to win an award, like Leonardo, just wait.
"Do you still remember the Golden Horse Award that year for "The Explosive Drummer"?"
"Yeah, remember."
"I estimate that this year's Oscars will probably replicate the situation at that time."
Liu Qianqian thought for a while and said, "You mean, the best film was taken away, let's give the best director and actor awards?"
"It's most likely so," Chen Linfeng nodded, "Anyway, let me do it, and it's probably like this.
Not only has it given a heavyweight award, it will not cause public doubts, and "Sunset" will not take all the benefits, so I can feel better. ”
Liu Qianqian was not very satisfied and thought it was too pessimistic.
It's better to be pessimistic, at least it's better than opening the champagne in advance and then losing everything.
Chen Linfeng thought in his heart.
As for the crew of "Infinite World", in recent days, because the filming progress has been good, the Russo brothers and Bruckheimer are already considering the completion of the film.
They also discussed it with Chen Linfeng several times.
The most confusing part is the length of the movie.
According to normal editing according to the script, the film length may exceed 3 hours.
Although it was previously expected that the movie would be at least 2 hours long, 3 hours is actually a bit too long.
Only The Lord of the Rings had this length before.
The Russo Brothers have considered splitting the footage into two films.
In this way, the first movie will only go into the world part of "Liao Zhai", which is the plot of the curse in the previous life.
The second part is "Resident Evil 2", which is the first book in the novel version of "Infinite World".
But this idea was rejected by Bruckheimer.
He thinks about it from the audience’s perspective.
As for "Liao Zhai", the overall plot does not have a strong transition, and the perception will be much different.
But it's different in "Resident Evil 2".
The Zhongzhou team continues to improve itself. During this period, there are struggles, team reconciliation, and becoming more united (Zhang Jie’s problem), and there are also times where they continue to become stronger and defeat other teams.
The overall plot is high-spirited.
Returning to the world of "Resident Evil 2", facing the powerful enemy is the climax of the plot.
The Zhongzhou team was wiped out until only one person remained, and the protagonist Zheng Zha was determined to resurrect his teammates.
The whole will have the integrity of the story, and the ending will also have expectations for the future.
If they were cut off in the middle, both movies would look weird, and they would be better if they were not connected.
Chen Linfeng also had the same view. He was not stuck in the plot for nothing.
It also takes into account the reader’s viewing experience.
"Then the length of time can't be reduced much even if it is reduced." Brother Russell spread his hands and said.
They have been troubled by this for a long time.
"If it doesn't work, just three hours." Bruckheimer gritted his teeth.
