It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?
Chapter 1032: Exposing the dark side of the entertainment industry? The real candidate for the Oscar
Chapter 1032: Exposing the dark side of the entertainment industry? Oscar Best Achievement Honorary Award... the real candidate for the best actor!
"Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, domestic box office revenue on the first day was RMB 2.13 million - China Film Ticketing Department."
"Assassin's Creed" grossed 4023 million RMB in the first day of domestic box office - Maoyan app."
"This morning, the comedy film "Pure Heart: Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Circle", jointly produced by China Film Group Corporation and China Media Group, directed and acted by Bi Zhifei, and starring Zhu Yiwen, Li Yanman, Chen Sihan, Zhang Zhirong and others, was officially announced to be released in mainland China on September 9."
"It is reported that the film tells the story of a dozen art school students from a performance department class at Haiya Film and Television Academy with different family backgrounds, growth experiences, and personalities, and their persistence in their dreams, as well as the ups and downs of their growth in the complex society and entertainment industry."
"After calling director Bi Zhifei, the reporter learned that the film did not avoid the bad phenomena of the entertainment industry such as 'hidden rules' and 'gray transactions', but showed the fierce collision between perseverance, purity and depravity and ugliness. It also used a multi-threaded narrative and a multi-protagonist approach, taking into account both artistry and commerciality, confronting the dark side of the entertainment industry, and bravely saying 'no' to all acts that trample on art!"
"The official blog of Beijing Film Academy published an article, saying that "Pure Mind: Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry" is a true and pure film, and its content deeply exposes the distortion of the value of life in the commercial society..."
~
After a new day of filming, Chen Fei returned home and checked the Internet, and was shocked to find that "Pure Mind: Chasing Dreams in Show Business", a "masterpiece" praised by many people in Beijing Film Academy as a "fine product", has finally been scheduled!
It’s just that September 9nd seems a bit weird. It’s not next to the National Day period, and it has nothing to do with the Lunar New Year period. I really don’t understand it.
"Buzzing..."
The sudden vibration sound attracted Chen Fei's attention.
After glancing at the caller ID, he happily pressed the answer button: "Hello? Lao Zhao? Are you here to show off to me? The 'masterpiece' that your Beijing Film Academy's Performance Department recommended to the bureau has finally been scheduled, hahahahaha..."
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Zhenyang couldn't help but show a bit of embarrassment on his face.
This movie was rejected by the bureau eight times before! But the actors were very persistent and used their connections to get it approved.
For this reason, Tian Zhuangzhuang was even pissed off by them and ran away, because this group of people put the blame directly on the director department!
Now, their goal has finally been achieved. Whether it is a mule or a horse, it is time to take it out for a walk.
Facing Chen Fei's joke, Zhao Zhenyang shook his head helplessly and complained, "There's nothing we can do. These people are already possessed by demons. They actually want to train a second Wang Quanan. No one can stop them."
"Then if this movie is criticized after it is released, as the vice dean of the acting department, won't you also be criticized?"
"Will not……"
"How could it not be? You definitely can't run away."
“Because I quit.”
"Um?!"
In an instant, Fade Chen's eyes widened suddenly.
"Are you kidding? You resigned too? Didn't you say you wanted to retire at Beijing Film Academy?"
"Alas, this place is no longer suitable for retirement." Zhao Zhenyang sighed, and then changed the subject: "Some time ago, I went to the Shanxi Film Academy for an inspection, and I met Mr. Tian who was presiding over the art exam. His spirit and energy were completely different from when he was at the Beijing Film Academy. His mental state was like that of a young man in his 20s..."
Although what Lao Zhao said was all about what he had seen and heard, Chen Fei keenly noticed the meaning behind his words.
"Are you also planning to start a new career?"
Zhao Zhenyang was slightly startled, then laughed and said, "I can't help it. The Jin Film Academy has given too much. It's really hard to refuse such a generous offer!"
"Of course. For a senior like you, nothing else matters. We must provide you with adequate benefits and treatment. Our college is the one that best understands the saying 'knowledge is a priceless treasure.'"
"Hahahahahahaha...you are such a talkative guy."
The two were chatting on the phone, and at this moment the Internet was already in an uproar.
Because as a large number of press releases about "Pure Mind: Chasing Dreams in Show Business" continued to appear, netizens suddenly discovered that the story told in this movie is "not simple" at all!
The entertainment industry is like a mysterious besieged city. People outside are full of curiosity about the people inside and always want to find out what’s going on, while people inside always keep an unapproachable distance from people outside.
Therefore, entertainment news and gossip headlines must be the most popular sections for the audience. People talk about them with relish and often speculate about the relationship between the director and the actors after dinner.
And the "unspoken rules" are undoubtedly the stereotyped impression that people outside the city have of those inside!
Now, a movie like "Pure Mind: Chasing Dreams in Entertainment Industry" has suddenly appeared, which has undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention by exposing the unspoken rules, gray deals and various traps in the entertainment industry.
"Exposing the dark side of the entertainment industry? Good boy? Are all the movies nowadays so daring to make?"
"It's claimed that the story is all true, and it's backed by Beijing Film Academy. Wow, I'm already curious."
"September 9, right? I'll book this ticket first, just to see the inside story of the entertainment industry, no one can stop me!"
"Finally, we can tear apart all these unspoken rules. Is this doctoral director really capable?"
"I don't quite understand the meaning of the title of this movie. What's the significance of the words 'Pure of Heart'? Does it mean that everyone who pursues their dreams has a pure heart?"
"..."
Throughout the whole day, the topic of "Pure Mind: Chasing Dreams in Show Business" remained highly discussed, attracting a large number of netizens to watch.
It was not until the 26th, when the 89th Academy Awards ceremony kicked off, that the attention of many netizens shifted to the awards ceremony.
The Sixth Princess bought the broadcasting rights again this year, just to be able to broadcast the entire process of Chen Long winning the Oscar "Lifetime Achievement Honorary Award" in real time.
However, many people did not turn on the TV, but focused their attention on the Youku app.
This year, Youku also obtained the rights to broadcast the event live, and the platform also supports barrage chat, which is much more fun than simply watching TV.
This has also led to the ratings of "Six Princesses" and even major TV stations becoming increasingly worse, but on the other hand, the number of users on major video platforms has been rising!
After a new day of filming for "Avengers 3", Chen Fei once again used the bus to take a group of "superheroes" straight to the Dolby Theater.
Everyone is here tonight as a "heavyweight guest", and several people are also here as "award presenters".
The ratings of the Oscars have been declining in recent years. In order to increase popularity, the organizers have to woo superstars everywhere in the hope of boosting the ratings.
The major crews can also take this opportunity to promote the movies they are currently filming, which coincides with the organizers' idea.
When Chen Fei led the "superheroes" onto the red carpet, as expected, they once again attracted cheers and screams from the fans at the scene!
Robin Roberts, the red carpet host, held up the microphone and shouted, "Everyone, let's turn our eyes to the red carpet. Walking towards us is the Marvel superhero team led by 'the world's number one director' Chen Fei..."
The atmosphere was very lively.
When this picture was transmitted back to China, it undoubtedly caused a sensation!
However, the focus of everyone's attention was not the group of "superheroes", but Chen Fei who was walking in the front.
"Wow, Director Chen is indeed worthy of his name. Has the title of 'World's No. 1 Director' been certified by Hollywood?!"
"Oh my god, look at that attitude, so arrogant!"
"Look at the Chinese film industry. The achievements you are so proud of are actually nothing compared to Director Chen."
"Haha, Director Chen has never been low-key since he went abroad. If you don't know him, you might think he's going to lead the superheroes to a group fight."
"Eh? Didn't they say that foreigners discriminate against Chinese people? Why do I only see people being respectful to Director Chen?"
"As long as you don't kneel down, stand tall and hold your head high, who would dare to discriminate against you?"
~
Since all the crew members of "The Great Wall" have returned to China in advance, there will be fewer Chinese faces at today's Oscars ceremony.
As soon as he entered the venue, Chen Fei met Zhang Ziyi first.
"Director Chen, you are here."
Zhang Ziyi had a flattering smile on her face and her words were full of attentiveness.
"Well, is the filming going well over there?"
"very smooth……"
After chatting for a few words, Fade Chen turned to the other side. Zhang Ziyi stared at his back with a fiery gaze that was hard to retract.
She has even begun to fantasize that if Chen Fei could arrange a role for her in the Marvel movie series, wouldn't she be able to eat and drink until she dies?
"The Great Wall is completely ruined, and Matt is finished..."
As soon as he came to Matt Damon's side, Chen Fei heard Leo gossiping about his good friend again.
"Don't hit him hard. He's unlucky enough already."
"Hahaha……"
So far, "The Great Wall" has been released for more than 10 days, but the box office has not even broken 4000 million US dollars, which is simply terrible.
Chen Fei didn't know what La Peikang was feeling and thinking at the moment, but he could see the expressions of the presidents of Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures on the spot.
Looking around, the two men's faces were full of helplessness and embarrassment, because this investment has become a joke in Hollywood!
If the two companies did not have a strong foundation, they would probably have gone bankrupt and liquidated like Annapurna Pictures before.
More than half an hour later, the award ceremony officially kicked off.
"Fei, long time no see."
As soon as Chen Fei sat down, Nolan on his right greeted him with a smile.
"It's been a while indeed. Is your Dunkirk almost finished?"
When reading Hollywood media reports before, Chen Fei noticed that Nolan had also begun preparing for an Oscar, and he was going for the war suspense film "Dunkirk".
"We are already in post-production. What about you? Will Endgame take a long time?"
"About that time, probably around June."
After a brief chat, the two stopped communicating as the award presenter came on stage.
Nolan had previously publicly criticized the release of the two major superhero movies, "Marvel" and "DC", saying that they brought great "harm" to the Hollywood film industry, and issued an initiative to call on the audience to boycott superhero movies.
He had just teased Chen Fei behind his back and now he met him in person. He felt a little embarrassed.
On the other hand, Fade Chen looked relaxed and didn't mind at all.
There are many people who are dissatisfied with superhero movies. Nolan is not the only one. He has long been used to it.
What's more, it would be strange if his voice could have any effect!
...
"The recipient of the 89th Academy Awards' highest achievement honor is: Jackie Chan from China. Let us congratulate him!"
As Vince Vaughn's voice echoed throughout the venue, applause and cheers suddenly broke out!
Chen Long stepped onto the podium with great excitement. After receiving the trophy, he gave a touching acceptance speech:
"Academy Award! I still can't believe I'm standing here! This is a dream of mine! A long time ago, every year I watched the Oscars with my dad and sometimes my mom.
My dad always says: "Son, you have won so many film awards around the world, when will you win an Oscar?" Then I can only look at my dad, laugh, and say: "Dad, I can only make comedy action movies."
Many years later, I came to Hollywood and met some big film companies and big directors at my friend Stallone's house. That was 23 years ago.
I saw these little golden men at his house, and I touched them, I kissed them, I smelled them, and I said to myself, 'I really want one! '
Finally, after 56 years in the film industry, over 200 films, and many broken bones... finally, this little golden man is mine!
I want to thank you, Hong Kong, this great city, my hometown, my place!
Who made me? China! My motherland. I am proud to be Chinese!
Thank you Hollywood for teaching me so much over the years and making me a little famous! I also want to thank you, my family, my wife Lin Fengjiao, my son Jaycee Chan... I especially want to thank my Cheng family team, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, and all my friends. Thank you from the bottom of my heart..."
There was constant applause from the audience, and netizens in China who were watching the award ceremony were also cheering excitedly and sending comments to congratulate Chen Long on winning the award:
"Apart from some minor mistakes, Chen Long has indeed made an indelible contribution to the Chinese-language film industry!"
"It must be such an achievement to receive the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award as a Chinese!"
"Both are martial arts actors. Look at Chen Long and then look at Li Lianjie... It is true that people should never kneel. The more they kneel, the less dignity they have!"
"I don't know how long Uncle Long can continue to fight. I feel like his movies in recent years have been a bit lackluster."
"Rewatch The Adventures of Jackie Chan, haha, let's go!"
……
There was constant cheering at the Oscars ceremony.
Looking at Chen Long holding the trophy on the stage, Chen Fei walked backstage and secretly sighed in his heart: "If Big Brother could announce his retirement now, he would definitely become a legend in the film industry!
Unfortunately, his son and the Cheng family team are urging him to keep moving forward, forward, and forward again, and he can't stop at all..."
A few minutes later, as Chen Long walked down from the podium, the host's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"Dear audience, let's give a warm round of applause to Chen Fei, the presenter of this year's Oscar for Best Actor, to make his grand entrance!"
Accompanied by applause, Fade Chen walked out from the backstage holding the envelope.
The superheroes who followed him to the stage, as well as the domestic audiences, were all a little confused at this time.
"How come Director Chen is the award presenter?"
"I don't know! I guess the organizer invited me specially."
Standing in front of the microphone, under the gaze of everyone, Fade Chen slowly opened the envelope and took out a card with the name of the winner written on it.
Looking at the name on the card, he smiled slightly and announced in a loud voice: "The winner of the 89th Academy Award is - Hacksaw Ridge. Congratulations, Andrew Garfield!"
In an inconspicuous corner of the audience, Garfield, who once played "The Amazing Spider-Man" and created the character "Doss" in "Hacksaw Ridge", suddenly raised his head and looked at the podium in disbelief.
He originally thought that he had no hope, after all, there was Denzel Washington, who had won the Berlin Film Festival and the Oscar for Best Actor twice, at the same time.
In comparison, he is simply a rookie and has never won any Oscar-related awards before.
But now, this sudden good news really stunned him!
"Why? Garfield, you don't like this little golden statue? If you don't want it, I can take it away. It just so happens that I haven't won an Oscar for Best Actor yet."
Chen Fei's joke on the stage received a burst of laughter from the audience. Garfield scratched his head, a bit of shyness appeared on his face, but at the same time, he was determined in his heart...
With the help of this platform, he felt that he needed to do something instead of just taking the trophy like others did.
With the encouragement of the director and other actors of "Hacksaw Ridge", he walked up to the podium, thanked Chen Fei, took the golden man, and then came to the microphone.
After taking a deep breath, his expression suddenly became serious and earnest!
"I am grateful to be here, but tonight I want to take this moment of honor to convey a more profound message.
"Hacksaw Ridge" is not only a movie about heroism, it is also a mirror that reflects the cruelty and ruthlessness of war!
In this film, I played Desmond Doss, a true hero who refused to carry weapons but saved the lives of 75 comrades with his fearless courage and firm belief. His story made me deeply realize that true bravery is not about raising guns, but about protecting lives and upholding humanity!
We live in a peaceful era, and it may be difficult for us to fully understand the trauma and pain brought by war, but every movie and every story is a commemoration of history and a call for peace.
I hope that "Hacksaw Ridge" can inspire more people to reflect on war and cherish peace. Let us work together to keep this world away from war and make love and peace the eternal theme of mankind!
Thanks again to Oscar and all the audiences who support me. It is you who gave me the opportunity to bring such a story to the world. I hope we can all become guardians of peace and let the shadow of war disappear forever in the long river of history!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.
Whether you agree with this point of view or not, at this moment, Andrew Garfield’s anti-war ideas have been successfully spread and will have a lasting impact!
