Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 342

After spending a few days with his daughter in Shanghai, Zhen Jiecheng stopped by to visit the crew of Ning Hao's "The Golden Robbery" and then returned to Beijing.

With the premiere of "The Flowers of War" approaching, Zhang Mo and Zhang Weiping clashed again over the issue of whether to invite Zhen Jiecheng to attend. However, Zhang Mo's father, who was always good at "giving in", was surprisingly tough this time and made Zhang Weiping furious.

Thus, the two Zhangs, who had known each other for more than 20 years and worked together for 16 years, officially showed the public that they had "parted ways". In various promotional activities for "The Flowers of War", if one Zhang showed up, the other would be absent for some reason.

"Come on, your dad isn't standing up for me. He's clearly looking for trouble with Zhang Dashabi to speed up the process of breaking up!" Zhen Jiecheng blurted out to Zhang Mo without thinking.

"Don't you think about whether I need your father's help to fight for me?"

"Lu Chuan didn't send out an invitation, but didn't Jiang Wen and I disrupt his premiere?"

Zhang Mo: o(^｀)o
"Emm, that's true. Uncle Zhen, you really see things clearly."

"Of course, no one knows Beijing Film Academy directors better than me." Zhen Jiecheng raised his head, "They all came from dirty places, do you really think there are honest people among them?"

"Is your father honest?"

"Can an honest person suppress Jiang Wen to the point where he can't even raise his head?"

"Can an honest man let Sister Gong. Emmm, can he let his wife film "Curse of the Golden Flower" in front of her husband?"

"Essentially, your father is using the same tactics that I used back then, relying on the appearance of an honest man to create deception."

"It's just that your father has never forgotten his original intention."

"What about me? I'm going to stop pretending and come clean."

"Puchi~" The whole office was filled with laughter.

And Zhang Mo laughed even brighter and louder than Jing Tian and Han Jianu.

"Ahem! By the way, Uncle Zhen, are you planning to attend my dad's movie premiere?"

"No, no," Zhen Jiecheng waved his hand, "Just tell your dad something and he'll understand."

"What?" Zhang Mo asked curiously.

"If we stand together, we will be conspicuous and easily implicated. Senior brother, you don't want to be charged with the crime of abetting others just because of the words 'Senior brother did it, too, and Senior brother did it first', right?"

Zhang Mo went back with Zhen Jiecheng's words.

However, she could not stay in Beijing for a few days. After attending her father's premiere, she and two of her besties would set off to Thailand to select filming locations for Lost in Thailand. The filming would officially start after the New Year.

In order to ensure safety, Lu Zheng contacted a senior security team. He even prepared a personal assistant, who was not good at any serious business but was very professional in fighting.

Zuoshandiao, as the leader of China Film Group, sent a telegram to the relevant Thai parties, and had an in-depth discussion and exchanged sincere opinions on a series of important topics, including how the exchange of film and television cultural industries can drive the development of tourism, build a bridge for mutual understanding between the peoples of the two countries, and thus pave the way for all-round cooperation.

Finally, it was emphasized that ensuring the safety of the Chinese crew was the basis of all discussions. The Thai side fully recognized this, and the two sides happily reached an agreement.

"Nothing is worse than a good background, and you still need connections!" Zhen Jiecheng sighed, "Look, the production cost of tens of millions is like a billion-dollar blockbuster. No, even a billion-dollar investment doesn't get this treatment."

"What else? If Dabao gets into trouble in the future, won't you lend a hand?" Cheng Hao rolled his eyes. As he spoke, he cast a complicated look at Zhen Hao who was playing with his younger brother in the yard, "They say you can tell a child's future at the age of three and his character at the age of seven. What about our Dabao? We don't need to wait until he's seven, we can already tell a lot about him."

"Alas! This kind of character must be from the entertainment industry. Only in an environment where everyone is dirtier than others can he appear normal and even be praised for his excellence."

Zhen Jiecheng: ＼(－－)／

"Why don't you just report the department codes of the Beijing Film Academy's Photography Department and Directing Department?"

"Humph, I won't!" Cheng Hao pouted, "Just report it as rude!"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes! You have a big belly so whatever you say is right!" Zhen Jiecheng stiffened his neck and before he could say a few words, he was suppressed by Cheng Hao's touch on his lower abdomen.

Looking at her man's back as he slipped towards the study after admitting defeat, Cheng Hao laughed particularly brightly.

Since the Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony and the battle with the group of wild area foxy girls, Cheng Hao's mood has become better and better. Especially after confirming that she was pregnant with her third child, she smiled all the time.

Hu Jing said: "I wish you good luck."

No need to wish, I have always been "pregnant".

Hu Jing also asked: "Are you so confident?"

How can you not have confidence? Do you know what it means to be confident and hope for the best?

The two in front are both good, and now I am just looking forward to getting one. No, two "good" ones!
Cheng Hao no longer cared about when to get the marriage certificate. People in the circle were breaking up and getting back together every day. What could a book with a stamp on it represent?
Thinking about it, he lowered his head and touched his lower abdomen again.

"Baby, you must be a little princess. Your dad will spoil you, your two brothers will protect you, and your mom will braid your hair into pretty braids and put you in beautiful dresses. You will be so beautiful!"

"If it has a handle, then be careful and I'll cut it for you. Forget it, it has a handle. As long as it's my baby, I'll like it."

Not only Cheng Hao is looking forward to having a daughter, but four elderly people are also looking forward to it.

So the decoration of the house was updated accordingly, pink began to become the mainstream, and the prepared New Year pictures were changed to those of girls.

Zhen Haoduo has a nickname, Panmei. Zhen Shuai has the same nickname, Zhaomei.

Zhen Jie honestly was powerless to complain about his daughter-in-law's bad taste, but three people with the same surname were no match for a person with a different surname, and he could only watch his two sons wear clothes with their nicknames printed on them.

Fortunately it wasn’t a coat, otherwise Zhen Hao would be too embarrassed to face the little sisters in the kindergarten class.

As time passed, Zhen Jiecheng, who had just recovered from his illness, entered the recuperation stage. Apart from going to school every day, he stayed at home with his wife: either polishing the script or guiding students over the phone.

"Joker" has been taken off the screen, and its global box office of over 1.1 billion US dollars has reached a new height in Zhen Jiecheng's career.

Although the previous life was released in 19, it finally broke through billion. But considering that the European and American box office markets are relatively well developed, which is completely different from the rapid development of China, this result will surprise Zhen Jiecheng, but it will not be beyond his expectations.

The energy that Leonardo's traffic can leverage is far beyond what Phoenix can compare to. Especially since he is "crazy", under the operation of the habitual offender Warner, he has exploded into an amazing and lasting topic of heat.

In addition, with the Oscars approaching, the bond between Leonardo and the golden statue of Best Actor has added fuel to the fire. Female fans who feel sorry for him are rushing to the film, allowing "Joker" to maintain a relatively strong box office curve and sit firmly at the top of R-rated films.

The only thing that made Zhen Jiecheng curious was whether Zipper Brother’s wife contributed movie tickets.

As a flesh fan, facing the "half-crazy" Leo now, can Zipper Brother's wife keep her original intention? "Forget it, forget it. Whether Auntie pampers Leo or not is none of my business."

"If you have this much free time, you might as well think about whether you should get in touch with Brother Dong when you go to America to attend the Oscars next year."

"Brother Dong has been really frustrated this year. He was singled out and ridiculed by Lucian at the dinner. It was really embarrassing."

Smacking his lips,
"Alas, what a pity, Ivanka is already a married woman."

"Hmm? A married woman?"

His eyes lit up, but then quickly dimmed.

"Alas! What a pity! It's more difficult, but it's also very involved. Only a fool would get involved!"

Zhen Jiecheng threw the yellow waste out of his mind and continued to relax and work. With the arrival of winter vacation, the family returned to Qingdao in advance. Prepare to welcome the arrival of the Year of the Dragon, and also celebrate the dragon baby in Cheng Hao's belly.

On New Year's Eve, everyone sat in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala as usual.

However, this time it was far from satisfactory.

The familiar Old Zhao is gone, and the midnight bell is gone.

The ending song is no longer "Unforgettable Tonight", but is replaced by "We Are One World".

The director team announced in advance that all the songs in the Spring Festival Gala would be sung live, which caused heated discussions among the audience. But how effective was it? Wang Fei's out-of-tune performance in "Because of Love" caused countless complaints.

Afterwards, Wang Fei accused the Spring Festival Gala program team of preparing the accompaniment for "Because of Love" in a male voice tune. After she raised the question, the program team said that they would change it soon. But until the night of the live broadcast, Faye Wong did not receive the revised version and had to sing according to the wrong accompaniment.

But it is undeniable that even though the queen's singing skills are beyond doubt and her vocal conditions are unique, it is an indisputable fact that her live performance stability has declined in recent years.

As for whether there are any problems with the Spring Festival Gala, is there any need to ask?
It is clearly written on the staff list: Chief Director - Ha Wen.

Director Ha made a stunning debut on the Spring Festival Gala, thus opening a new era for the Gala!

"I've already said that Lao Zhao brought a new script to the third rehearsal, but it was still rejected because the program was not outstanding. In the end, the Spring Festival Gala just gave an explanation on Weibo that he had to withdraw from the stage due to poor health."

"Don't you know what's going on? Didn't I explain it to you? But you don't believe it and want to watch it." Zhen Jiecheng said happily, "It's fine to watch it, but it's been so many days, and you're still complaining?"

"Can you blame me for complaining?" Cheng Hao pouted and directed Zhen Jiecheng to pack his luggage while muttering, "When I turn on the TV, all it shows are reruns. One night is not enough to disgust me, and I have to feed you shit every day. What the hell is this!"

"Then don't watch TV!" Zhen Jiecheng zipped up his suitcase and picked up his suitcase. "I strongly suggest that you stop watching TV. It's disgusting and a waste of time. You might as well play mahjong."

"Okay, wife, I'm leaving now!"

"Well, go for it! Come on, husband, try to win the Best Director award!" Cheng Hao clenched his fist to cheer him on.

"Forget it, I'm just going there for show. Even if Hua Na does all the public relations for everyone who can vote, the individual award won't go to me." Zhen Jiecheng waved his hand, not feeling disappointed at all. "Next time, I'll find a way to bring it back next time! Give it to my wife as a gift!"

"Okay!"

With Cheng Hao's farewell, Zhen Jiecheng bid farewell to his family and boarded a flight to the United States.

And in California, loyal Warner has prepared a grand welcome ceremony to welcome the arrival of the money printing machine.

On January 2012, 1, the 24th Academy Awards officially announced the final list of nominees.

Joker was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Cinematography, and Best Adapted Screenplay. It was nominated for 10 categories including score, editing, sound effects, and costume design. It has become the most watched work of this year's Oscars, bar none!

Prior to this, Leonardo DiCaprio had already won the Best Actor award at the American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards. But interestingly, Zhen Jiecheng missed the Best Director award and was unfortunately not selected.

Starting from January 1, Warner's public relations became increasingly fierce until the final ballots were mailed out.

Then there was the nominees luncheon, and then the Oscars Sci-Tech Awards ceremony. The flashy old Americans also set up the first "Golden Collar" award for the dogs that starred in the movie, and the awards ceremony was held in Los Angeles.

The hustle and bustle continued until the final voting deadline on the 21st.

"Ten nominations! Yan Jiecheng and "Joker" compete for the Oscars!"

"Director Li An said: It doesn't surprise him at all that Director Zhen won the Best Director trophy."

"Director Rainie Wu looked surprised and refused to comment on Director Zhen's Oscar bid."

"The California airport reception ceremony was grand, with many Hollywood A-list stars showing up. Director Zhen conquered Hollywood with just a smile!"

While things are busy in America, domestic entertainment newspapers and magazines are also busy.

After boasting about the Oscars for so many years, there is finally a work that is seriously competing in the competition and has a high probability of winning an award. The domestic entertainment industry, which has always been irresponsible in its reporting, has become even more presumptuous.

The most important thing is that people love to watch this!

After years of unremitting efforts by public intellectuals, the atmosphere has long been distorted. It seems that "if it touches the United States, shit smells good".

Even the simple sense of honor of ordinary people has been affected.

To put it in a broader sense, winning an Oscar means bringing glory to the country; to put it in a narrower sense, it means bringing honor to the family!
Even though Zhen Jiecheng landed in the United States, he could deeply feel this from a distance of thousands of miles: Zuoshandiao called, Guangdian called him kindly, the dean showed his warm concern, and his good senior brothers also sent him encouragement.

For a moment, I had an illusion that the whole world was revolving around Oscar.

"Damn it! It's so stressful for me to come here and do something like that!"

Zhen Jiecheng scratched his head and suddenly suggested to Lao Deng'er on the phone:

"Teacher, I'm sure you'll get 'Best Film'."

"Why not switch the concept when promoting it and link the Oscar's 'Best Film' to the 'Best Film' of the three major European competitions?"

"In this way, when I win the Golden Bear in the future, won't it mean that I have won the 'Best Film' award at the four major film festivals, achieving a Grand Slam?"

"What the hell?" Director Tian was stunned, and then silent for a few seconds, "Well, don't call me teacher when you go out in the future."

"I'm not a good person, but how could I teach such a dirty thing like you?"
