Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 390 Tea Art, movie duration

On social media such as Twitter and Facebook.

Chartier was a complete clown.

"I really didn't expect that in the second decade of the 21st century, there would still be such xenophobic and racist people."

"That's normal. That's what those white men think. Naturally, someone will agree with them. From that email, we can see that this is almost a consensus in that circle."

"I've seen Sunset, and the media's comments are correct. It's a perfect work of art, much better than The Hurt Locker."

"..."

In addition to Emily Ken, media from various countries also began to report on it.

The situation is even worse in China.

I was wondering why "Sunset" had such high reviews but never won any awards. It turns out that it was caused by some villains and the awards were unfair.

This time, the Oscar organizers are completely in trouble.

They quickly issued a statement saying that they would deal with the matter seriously and guaranteed that "Sunset" would definitely receive fair treatment.

Chen Linfeng knew that in this kind of thing, one must grasp the right timing, otherwise it would be too much.

So, he hasn't said a word since that interview.

There was no collusion or behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Even when those who were demonstrating contacted him, Chen Linfeng did not show up.

Anyway, the main point is that I am a pure little white flower and a victim.

During this period, Oscar officials called him, hoping that he could forgive their mistakes at work and said that they would definitely make corrections and adjustments to the situation.

Chen Linfeng looked as if he would obey your instructions and believed what you said, and he wanted to keep things quiet.

The tone set to the outside world was mainly directed at the tabloid that spread the rumors, claiming that it would be made to pay the price.

Soon, several law firms came to the door and wanted to handle prosecution services for the "Sunset" crew free of charge.

Everyone is very smart and is determined to uphold an open and inclusive policy.

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 benefit Cameron and Avatar."

"But I have always kept my promise and have not attacked The Hurt Locker. She is the only one who is picking on me."

Rob sighed. This is where the difficulty lies.

In fact, when the agreement was made, he knew that this agreement was useless and was just an excuse.

With so many reports about the three parties smearing each other, I don't believe there is no "Sunset" attacking "The Hurt Locker".

The most important thing is that the report that exposed the tabloid's racist remarks was most likely created by Chen and his team.

Otherwise, it would have been discovered by chance.

But it’s useless to say anything now. Others were not discovered, but you were. It’s your fault.

Besides, that email from Chartier was really outrageous. He was so bold, it was as if he was under a spell.

Rob could only find another way to persuade him, "Boss, after all, The Hurt Locker is profitable for us, I think we should not make things too awkward.

If the reputation of The Hurt Locker is ruined, we will suffer a lot.”

Chen Linfeng actually didn’t care about this. He knew that the previous life’s "The Hurt Locker" was the lowest-grossing Oscar-winning film in history.

It is estimated that it will be worse in this life.

It seems that the audiences in the United States don't really like this kind of main theme movie which is not a thrilling movie.

But you can't say this out loud.

Chen Linfeng thought for a moment and said, "So far, this matter is no longer under our control.

How about this, let's find some time to have Catherine apologize in the newspaper on behalf of the crew, and I will then publish a statement of reconciliation."

Anyway, no matter what we do now, we can't change the trend of public opinion.

He really likes it when tolerance and tea art are displayed at this time.

Rob also knew it was useless, but if he wanted to survive in the circle, his reputation couldn't be too bad.

After the two parties reconciled, Catherine was able to restore some of her reputation, and at least people in the circle could continue to associate with her.

Chen Linfeng can also be portrayed as a tolerant and forgiving person, and not stand out so much.

After all, this time it caused such a big fuss.

Those celebrities came out to help speak up, but no one knows what they were thinking in their hearts.

At this time, you have to take two steps back.

Besides, Catherine and Cameron have a special relationship. Even after their divorce, they still keep in touch.

Cameron is a real big shot, so it is useful to have a good relationship with him.

Of course, there was no way that Chatir could gain his forgiveness.

On the contrary, I have to mention him from time to time in the future. He is the representative villain of racism in the novel.

No matter what, the character of being vindictive must be maintained.

……

At the filming location of "Infinite World", Chen Linfeng went to work as usual.

Emma, ​​Benedict and others looked at him with complicated expressions.

Yesterday, "The Hurt Locker" released an apology statement, which was so tearful.

It is a clear expression of regret for the previous events.

In this case, it is very disadvantageous for its Oscar competition.

"Chen, keep going!" Benedict gave him a thumbs up.

"Chen, I support you!" Emma patted his shoulder like a little adult.

After this lead, others followed suit and expressed their support and encouragement.

There's a queue, it's like something out of this world.

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 still has great prestige in the crew, especially after this incident.

Everyone is afraid of being misunderstood as looking down on others if they are negligent in some way.

Although Chen is still very kind, rumors about his past on Taken have already spread.

Everyone knows Chen's style, and the comparison with his current style makes them even more scared.

"Xiaofeng!" Liu Qianqian poked his waist from behind.

"What? Stop it."

"Do you think we have a chance of winning the Best Film award this time?" Liu Qianqian said seriously. She was very curious about this.

I especially want to hear my boyfriend's judgment.

Chen Linfeng has thought about this question more than once recently.

It has come to this point, and everyone is definitely looking forward to a big one.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems unlikely.

It can be said that this time, the Oscar organizing committee was forced to make the decision by the situation.

No one would feel good if they encountered this situation.

Even though he behaved well enough and cooperated from beginning to end.

But emotions are something that cannot be explained.

Chen Linfeng put himself in their shoes and thought, if he were the organizing committee.

On the one hand, he had to pay attention to "Sunset" due to the circumstances, but it did not mean that he had to satisfy the crew all at once.

As long as we show respect for "Sunset" and there is no racial discrimination, it will be fine.

Especially recently, some of the media reports Chen Linfeng saw seemed a little off.

“Racial discrimination is certainly wrong, but we cannot be too biased towards a certain work because of it.

Some works are excellent, but other works also have their excellence, including many foreign works.

Therefore, being fair and just is the only way to be responsible for all works. "

Chen Linfeng told Xixi about his considerations.

Finally, he guessed, "There may be many awards, but the most important awards, Best Film and Best Director, may be separated and given to two works."

"Why?" Liu Qianqian pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "I think our film Sunset deserves it and should win all the awards."

Chen Linfeng shook his head and smiled, "There is no such good thing in the world. Don't forget, my age factor is always there."

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, wait a minute.

“Do you still remember the Golden Horse Awards that year for Whiplash?”

"Yeah, remember."

"I think this year's Oscars will probably replicate the situation back then."

Liu Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "You mean, since the Best Film award has been taken away by someone else, should we give out Best Director and Best Actor awards?"

"It's very likely so," Chen Linfeng nodded, "Anyway, if I were in charge, it would probably be allocated this way.

I gave it a big award, which would not cause doubts from the public, and I didn’t let Sunset take all the benefits, which made me feel more at ease.”

Liu Qianqian was not very satisfied and felt that this was too pessimistic.

It's better to be pessimistic, at least it's better than opening champagne in advance and then losing everything in old age.

Chen Linfeng thought to himself.

On the "Infinite World" crew, in recent days, because the shooting progress has been good, the Russo brothers and Bruckheimer have been considering the issue of finishing the film.

They also discussed the issue with Chen Linfeng several times.

The most vexing part is the length of the movie.

According to normal editing of the script, the length of the film may be more than 3 hours.

Although it was previously estimated that the film would be at least 2 hours long, 3 hours is indeed a bit too long.

Previously, only The Lord of the Rings was of this length.

The Russo brothers considered dividing the filming into two films.

In this way, the first movie will only reach the part of the "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" world, that is, the plot of the curse in the previous life.

The second part is "Resident Evil 2", which is the first book of the novel version of "Infinite World".

But this idea was rejected by Bruckheimer.

He considered it from the audience's perspective.

When it comes to the "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" part, the overall plot lacks a strong beginning, development, turning point and ending, which makes the viewing experience much worse.

But it's different with Resident Evil 2.

The Zhongzhou team has been constantly improving themselves. During this period, they have fought hard, reconciled as a team, become more united (Zhang Jie's problem), and become stronger and stronger, defeating other teams.

The overall plot is uplifting.

Then we go to the world of "Resident Evil 2", where the heroic spirit of facing a powerful enemy serves as the climax of the plot.

The Zhongzhou team was wiped out and only one person was left, and the protagonist Zheng Zha was determined to revive his teammates.

The story will be complete as a whole, and there will be expectations for the future at the end.

If they were interrupted in the middle, both movies would look weird, and it would be better if they were not connected together.

Chen Linfeng shared the same view. It was not in vain that he got stuck in the plot like that.

The reader's viewing experience is also taken into consideration.

"Then even if this duration is shortened, it won't be much." The Russell brothers spread their hands.

They have been struggling with this for a long time.

"If it doesn't work, just three hours." Bruckheimer gritted his teeth.
