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

Chapter 391: Oscars Winning

A movie running time of more than 3 hours is not too much, but also not too little.

This was the case with "The Lord of the Rings", "The Godfather", "Schindler's List" and "Titanic", there's no reason why they can't do it.

What Bruckheimer is more confident about is that their film is the first film after "Avatar" to use 3D shooting mode from the beginning of the filming process.

Other movies, even if they are called 3D movies, are actually just converted to 3D in post-production, so the effect will be much worse.

As for other movies that want to shoot in 3D, most of them have just started the project and their progress is much slower than theirs.

As the first true 3D movie after "Avatar", it will be much easier to promote.

Not to mention, the quality of the work, the picture quality and expressiveness have been improved.

Thinking of this, Bruckheimer couldn't help but sigh, fortunately he listened to Chen's advice at that time.

Of course, James Cameron’s reputation is also of paramount importance.

After he watched the original film of "Avatar" through special channels, he immediately agreed to the idea of ​​3D shooting.

He even saved his face and invited relevant technical talents from Cameron's team.

Now that I think about it, it was a great deal to invite Chen to play the leading role.

He can also help you in other areas, which is almost like having another director.

……

On February 2, the British Academy Film Awards were announced.

Chen Linfeng did not go this time because he had to be filming on the set, so Zhang Yimou and others received the award.

Perhaps sensing the change in the wind direction in Hollywood, the final Oscar weathervane gave a result that was completely different from the past.

"Sunset" won five major awards including Best Film, Director, Actress, Photography and Editing.

Became the biggest winner at the awards ceremony.

By the way, in the television category, Sherlock Holmes also won the Best Actor award.

Liu Qianqian picked it up for him.

Back to the film awards, "The Hurt Locker" only won three awards: Best Actor, Sound Effects, and Screenplay.

The worst was "Avatar". Despite having so many nominations, it only won two consolation prizes for Best Costume Design and Visual Effects.

It's not even as good as Quentin's "Inglourious Basterds", at least it won the Best Supporting Actor.

When Chen Linfeng first got the news, he was a little surprised.

Ying Ao is really brave. This way of awarding prizes is exactly what he has dreamed of.

Considering that the Oscars often have a high overlap with the British Olympics results, could it be... ?
Chen Linfeng couldn't help but think too much.

Six Princesses International News Department.

"Come out?"

"Nothing will come out if you ask again, wait."

"Come out?"

"Still asking, hey, it's out."

Li Teng from the International News Department exclaimed.

Everyone gathered around his computer to see the results that their colleague in the UK had sent back.

"Great! They won five awards in a row, including the most important Best Film, Best Director and Best Actress. This is going to be a success."

"That's really awesome, worthy of being Xiao Chen."

Minister Wang Wenyuan pinched his beard and heard the noises of his subordinates. He did not feel it was noisy at all, but felt very happy instead.

Zhang Han raised his hand and said, "Minister, I will apply to go to the Oscars with the team for an interview. I will go on the business trip without any trouble."

"Oh my god," Li Teng was furious. This is not a moral code of martial arts.

"Minister, I'm applying too. I'm good at English. Please let me go."

"You two have just been on a business trip. This interview was so tiring. You should just rest at home. Minister, let me do it."

"I am not afraid of hard work, Minister, please let me go."

They all know the value of the British and American Oscars, and now they all want to go to the Oscars to witness "Sunset" make history.

Whether it is the Best Film Award, Director or Actor Award, each one is of great importance.

What's more, it is possible to get two or even all of them.

Wang Wenyuan's face darkened. "Why are you arguing? Do you think you will get this chance? The station will definitely start a live broadcast, and it won't be your turn to interview."

"Ah~" Everyone wilted instantly.

Yes, this is a good thing, and others must be keeping an eye on it.

Their department may not necessarily get a turn, especially on Channel 6, where the International News Department is just a decoration and is not as glorious as other channels.

At the same time, Yao Miao also learned the news.

She immediately went to the station director to apply, and then went to the scene to cheer for Director Chen and Director Zhang, and also to do an exclusive interview.

The director knew that she had a good relationship with Xiao Chen, so he readily agreed.

Naturally, preparations for the new live broadcast program also began.

Most of the Sixth Princess' departments were put into action.

"Chen and Zhang won 5 awards at the British Oscars, including Best Film, Director and Actress"

Soon, Sina, NetEase, Penguin, Sohu, and almost all portal websites and news media published the news that Sunset won the award.

Since the Oscar nomination list was released, "Sunset" has received 8 nominations, becoming the most promising domestic film to win an award in history.

The public's attention instantly increased a lot.

Later, news came about the email scandal, the parade in the United States, and Hollywood's support for "Sunset".

Unconsciously, people in China have higher and higher expectations for the Chen-Zhang duo.

Now the news of Yingao's winning has come.

Everyone became more convinced of their point of view, that is, "Sunset" has great hope.

At this time, there was less than half a month left before the final Oscars. "Sunset" was directly screened on a large scale.

The film is already well-known enough to meet the criteria for screening.

In more than 10 days, the Oscar results will be announced. If they are really successful, then there will be another wave of box office excitement.

Movies like "Sunset" are long-term films, which is different from the approach of commercial films, so this is appropriate.

Initially, with 300 seats open, the attendance rate for Sunset was maintained well, and it started to increase after 3 days.

Hall 400, Hall 600, Hall 900, it temporarily stopped at this level.

Next we will see the results of the Oscars. If they are good, the number of theaters will increase sharply.

At the end of February, Cao Weiguo and Sister Mei found Chen Linfeng together.

The CEO of Sina and the main person in charge of its Weibo came to sign a formal contract.

Since Chen Linfeng conveyed his intention to invest around October last year, a formal contract was finally negotiated in February this year.

The other party had no objection to the conditions proposed by Chen Linfeng.

This investment intention, unlike other business collaborations, was not widely publicized.

They signed the contract in a low-key manner.

Then Cao Weiguo invited Chen Linfeng on the spot to officially join Sina Weibo.

Backstage in China, the "Golden V" logo was immediately made for him.

Chen Linfeng took the opportunity to post his first Weibo post in his life:
"Hello everyone, I am Chen Linfeng. From today on, I will officially join Sina Weibo."

Soon, someone saw it and responded.

"Huh? A real person?"

"Fuck, it's really Xiao Chen, brother, you're on Weibo too."

"Oh my god, there's a V, it's a real person, touch it in the front row."

Thanks to Sina’s promotion the day after tomorrow, the number of followers quickly reached thousands, and the number of comments also continued to grow.

Chen Linfeng looked at it for a while and didn't pay any more attention to it.

"Mr. Chen, I hope you can post more Weibo in the future, preferably like you did on your blog before."

Cao Guowei watched the other party open an account and post the message throughout the process.

I also saw the comments from netizens later.

I feel that it is worthy of Xiao Chen. In terms of fame, no one can rival him.

They took this factor into consideration when they accepted Xiao Chen's investment.

Not only Xiao Chen, there is also Liu Qianqian.

With Xiao Chen, that time probably isn’t far away.

Chen Linfeng nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely post on Weibo. The Oscars will be here soon, and I will also post something about them then."

"That's great," Cao Guowei was delighted. It was really a good idea.

In the next few days, Chen Linfeng posted some of his thoughts on filming on Weibo from time to time.

Sometimes I also upload some photos of the crew.

Netizens like this very much, and they are all curious about the filming process in Hollywood.

Even in some photos, we can see "Hermione".

This makes them feel that "Xiao Chen is an international superstar."

Sometimes Liu Qianqian would join in the fun and ask Chen Linfeng to take photos of her and upload them.

Netizens complained, "Don't you have a Weibo account?" "Showing affection, go away, it's unbearable to watch"...

In addition to Sina's initial promotion, Chen Linfeng's own popularity also played a very obvious role.

The number of followers increased from a few thousand on the first day to tens of thousands, and by the third day, it had exceeded 100,000.

And as more and more people found out that Chen Linfeng had opened an account on Sina Weibo, they even downloaded a special Weibo account to see what he said on Weibo.

The growth in the number of followers continues to accelerate.

At that time, Weibo celebrities were not as taboo as in later generations and could say almost anything.

Chen Linfeng adapted to the local customs and was relatively relaxed, making some humorous remarks.

But he was born in the future after all, and he knew very well the ability of netizens to dig up dark history.

Therefore, he would not even touch upon some truly taboo remarks.

Dodging boomerangs starts with me.

"Xiaofeng, are you playing Weibo again?"

"Yeah, it's only fun now. In a few years it will become a garbage dump and I won't be able to play with it even if I want to."

"You are saying something incomprehensible again," Liu Qianqian said speechlessly.

She made a disgusted expression, then said excitedly, "I'll also create an account on Weibo, how about we play together?"

"Don't," Chen Linfeng quickly stopped him.

"Celebrities can't just stay here for free. Sina has to give them some benefits."

Although he now has a share on Weibo, it does not prevent him from finding ways to help his girlfriend get more benefits.

"Oh, okay. I'll ask mom to try to contact them later."

"Well, let Aunt Liu be more reserved and say that we are not a family. Just because I use Weibo doesn't mean you have to join. Let them decide for themselves."

Liu Qianqian nodded, "That's right, since he has been given the blog, he can't be exempted from the Weibo."

March 3, the night of the Oscars, finally arrived.

Chen Linfeng straightened his collar and slowly got out of the car.

　I had a high fever yesterday and still have a low fever today. I barely wrote 6000 words.
