Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 508 Oscar Nomination

Sina Entertainment News

"The action film 'New Shaolin Temple' starring Liu Dehua, Cheng Long, Xie Tingfeng, Fan Qiaoqiao and others officially met with mainland movie fans yesterday."

"The producer, China Film Group, revealed that despite the unfavorable circumstances of many films being released at the same time and the release day being Wednesday, which is the lowest point of the week, the first-day box office still achieved 2050 million yuan, which is truly a box office powerhouse."

The premiere of "New Shaolin Temple" was held on a large scale. It was officially authorized by Shaolin Temple and invited monks to perform on the spot. Liu Dehua also showed off the Shaolin Seven Star Fist that he had practiced for three months.

The box office on the first day was acceptable, but the 300 to 500 million yuan mentioned by director Chen Musheng was just a pipe dream.

The reputation showed signs of collapse on the first day.

"Andy's acting style is as exaggerated as always. He always poses before saying or doing anything."

"As soon as Andy left Leo, his true colors were revealed and he became a veritable box office poison."

"Xie Tingfeng's villain role is too stereotypical. She always grits her teeth when she speaks."

"The literary scenes lack logic, the martial arts scenes lack highlights, and Chenglong's Henan dialect is the only highlight."

The harsh comments from the audience almost drove Liu Dehua into depression.

When I called Li Chen to complain, I joked with him: "Your company is considered very productive in a year, but you have only cooperated with my Yingyi Entertainment on one movie."

"You said I can't just act in one play a year, right? Yingyi Entertainment has a bunch of people to support."

Li Chen found it funny: "Of course, but I think you are good at Shaolin Seven Star Fist."

"The audience just unconsciously compares your martial arts with Cheng Long. Compared with an action superstar, you definitely don't have an advantage."

Liu Dehua felt better. This is the good thing about Li Chen: he is objective!
The next day, the Oscars announced the second round of candidates for Best Foreign Language Film.

The two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places were once again completely wiped out.

"The Great Earthquake" is also on this list.

Fortunately, Feng Xiaogang had set an ambush for himself when he signed up.

The prediction that it would be a waste of time to go to the theater to watch "The Great Earthquake" left the audience and netizens speechless.

On the other hand, "Bullet" became a huge hit, and the G-cup girl who played the "humiliated woman", Zhao Ming, the production assistant of "Bullet", also became an overnight sensation.

It is said that he is already selecting an agent to prepare for entering the entertainment industry.

Ying Huang's Yangshoucheng held a grand celebration banquet in Hong Kong Island, and a number of Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities attended to support Jiang Wen.

Yang Shoucheng even announced that he would invest 200 million to shoot a sequel.

News Evening News

"Yinghuang boss Yang Shoucheng recently revealed that he will invest 2 million yuan to prepare for the production of the sequel to Let the Bullets Fly, and the filming will start as early as the end of this year with the original crew."

"According to Yang Shoucheng, the three main characters, Chow Yun-fat, Ge You and Liu Jialing, will be resurrected in the sequel!"

"Producer Ma Ke said that the script for the sequel to Let the Bullets Fly is already being written, and the actors from the original series will be used as much as possible. Jiang Wen and Ge You will definitely star in the film, but as for Chow Yun-fat, he will have to wait until he reads the script before making a decision."

"Bullet" became a huge hit, and not only Yang Shoucheng became carried away, but Jiang Wen also became arrogant. Jiang Wen became the Jiang Wen who looked down on everyone again.

Both of them took a single accidental event as an inevitable event.

Everyone in the industry is focusing on the upcoming Oscar nominations.

If Li Chen and Xue Xiaolu's nominations for the Berlin Awards made people excited, then Li Chen's nomination for the Oscars made countless people cheer.

Sina Entertainment News

"The King leads the way, Nolan is in tragedy, Leon misses out on the Oscar again, Li Chen is nominated for Best Original Screenplay."

"The 83rd Academy Awards announced the final list of nominees."

"The King's Speech, produced by Harvey Weinstein, the first person to run the Olympic bid, received 12 nominations in the categories of Best Picture, Director, Actor, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Original Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing, Art Direction, Costume Design, Sound Editing, and Original Score, making it the hottest candidate."

"Inception, which is loved by many movie fans, was nominated for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay."

"But in the major awards, Christopher Nolan and Leonardo Dicaprio were eliminated from the Best Director/Actor awards respectively, so Inception has already lost the battle for the Best Picture."

The term "Little Leo" became a hot search on Weibo.

"When the west is dark, the east is bright. Leo has missed out on the golden statuette again. Leo is nominated for Best Original Screenplay!"

Leon's fans were heartbroken that he missed out on the golden statue once again.

But Li Chen's nomination for the Oscar for Best Screenplay once again affirmed Li Chen's scriptwriting ability.

If Li Chen had not refused to sell the script, there would have been no shortage of production companies willing to pay a huge sum of money to buy it.

Han Sanping hosted a banquet at home to celebrate Li Chen's nomination for the Berlin Film Festival and Oscar.

"Why did President Han suddenly invite us to visit him this time?" Liu Yifei was a little curious.

The fact that Li Chen was shortlisted for the film festival is really not worth mentioning at all.

Even an Oscar nomination wouldn't make Han Saping so serious.

Even Li Chen himself was as calm as an outsider.

In Li Chen's words, he would rather she be nominated for Best Supporting Actress, as the Best Original Screenplay award was useless to him.

Richard from Warner even called her husband and boasted about how great Warner's public relations skills were.

As a result, her husband said: It’s just a nomination, not an award.

Richard almost got internal injuries from holding it in.

If it were someone else, Richard would have turned against it long ago. Being nominated for an Oscar is already the highest honor.

Many people spend their entire lives striving for an Oscar. Over the years, Liu Yifei has discovered that her husband is not interested in an Oscar at all.

On the contrary, the three European gold medals are relatively more attractive to him.

In fact, she thinks that the current situation is pretty good. Her husband is a world-renowned double-gold director and has a considerable fortune.

If he really started to worry about the little golden man and became obsessed with him like Leo, she would be worried.

But my husband said that with my popularity, it should not be a problem for me to win an MTV Award or a Saturn Award.

After all, these two awards are not based on the judges' opinions, but only on the audience's preferences.

"Who knows? You'll find out when you get there." Li Chen helped the woman into the car.

When they arrived at Han Saping's house, it was Han Jianiu who opened the door, but Fatty Yu was also sitting in the living room.

Li Chen had no idea what Han Sanping was up to.

Yu Dong stood up and smiled, his face full of fat shaking: "Director Li, Yifei, you are here."

Yu Dong was extremely satisfied with being able to invest in "The Flowers of War".

The previous dissatisfaction with Li Chen had long since disappeared.

No wonder he has built such a big career at such a young age. Look at his vision.

He never took the past to heart and was able to share Zhang Yimou's films. Yu Dong asked himself that if it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to do it.

Just like Huayi will not share the truth of "If You Are the One" with others.

"Mr. Yu." Liu Yifei greeted him with a smile, and was then pulled by Han Jianiu to sit down.

"Mr. Yu, you're here early." Li Chen looked around but didn't see Han Sanding.

Yu Dong smiled and said, "The leader is on the balcony making a phone call."

Li Chen nodded and sat next to Miss Liu. Han Jianiu, who was standing next to her, asked Liu Yifei curiously what it felt like to be pregnant.

Yu Dong made small talk: "I haven't congratulated Li Yinyin for being nominated for the Berlin Film Festival and the Oscars yet."

"Thank you, Mr. Yu. It's just a finalist. There's nothing to congratulate you for." Li Chen said calmly.

"Haha, Director Li is too modest. "Just being shortlisted" has stumped many people."

"For Director Li, being nominated is commonplace, but for people like us in the industry, it is rare and precious."

"If Director Li could capture the bear in one fell swoop, it would be a different story."

Han Jiayi took Liu Yifei to his room. The two girls didn't say much before Han Jiayi told Liu Yifei a piece of news.

"Sissi, we will be alumni soon."

"Alumni?" Liu Yifei looked confused, but quickly reacted.

"You applied to film school?"

Han Jiayi smiled and nodded.

Liu Yifei was slightly surprised, because she was still a foreign student back then and still had to take the exam.

Why does it seem like when it comes to this sister, she doesn’t even need to take an exam.

She remembered that the college exams didn't start until February.
At the dinner table, Han Saping mentioned his daughter's schooling.

Yu Dong and Li Chen are both smart people, and the former is Han Sanping's direct descendant.

The latter is the person Han Sanping values ​​the most.

In fact, in Li Chen's opinion, with Han Sanping's current status and influence, there is no need for him and Yu Dong to say hello.

Because of your reputation as Mr. Han San, everyone will definitely take good care of your precious daughter.

Over the years, many directors of all sizes have been supported by Han Sanping.

Not to mention the distant past, there’s Zhou Xingxing from “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons”.

If Han Sanping hadn't supported him back then, there wouldn't be the ambitious and vigorous Stephen Chow we are today.

There are even more directors in mainland China.

Jiang Wen, Ning Hao, Lu Taro and many more.

It can be said that even if Han Sanping retired in a few years.

No one can ignore Han Sanping's influence in the film and television industry.

Maybe I am the only exception and I don’t owe Han Sanping anything.

On the contrary, Han Sanping relies on himself quite a lot.

"The daughter follows in her father's footsteps. Jia Ni has a calm personality and is a man who gets things done." Li Chen made his attitude clear.

Han Saping remained calm and satisfied.

Yu Dong also smiled and said, "Now that Jia Jia has graduated, why not come and help your uncle Yu."

Li Chen laughed secretly in his heart, Yu Dong was really good at talking, asking a graduate to help.

Han Jianiu, who was already a bit introverted, felt a little shy after Yu Dong talked about it.

Even if she was not very smart, she knew that Uncle Yu said that because of her father.
