Domestic media quickly noticed the news from across the ocean. Originally, they were only going for Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers", but what did they see on the nomination list?
The name behind "Oscar Best Picture" and "Oscar Best Adapted Screenplay" made them drop their jaws - Leon (Zhang Chen)!
Is this okay? !
Even Zhang Yimou failed in his attempt to win the Oscar, a good opportunity, but Zhang Chen, a young man who had just entered the film and television industry and hadn't even graduated from college, was able to break in?

The next morning, when everyone turned on their TVs and computers, the screens were filled with the news about the Oscar nominations that Zhang Chen had mentioned.

What was originally just a piece of news from the film and television industry was hyped up to become the most watched news in the country:

"Yesterday, the film produced by our famous star Zhang Chen, whose Chinese translation is "The Pursuit of Happiness", was nominated for three Oscars. Is it going to repeat the miracle of Zhang Chen winning the Grammy Awards for the first time?"

"There is someone more powerful than Zhang Yimou. Zhang Chen's first film as a producer was nominated for an Oscar. According to the latest news obtained by our station, the film has already won the two key Oscar awards, 'Best Picture' and 'Best Actor', at the previous Golden Globe Awards."

"So far, The Pursuit of Happyness has grossed $2.1 million in North America and over $4.2 million worldwide!"

Originally, Zhang Chen was not included in the promotion of this movie, so people in China did not have a deep impression of this unreleased movie and did not pay much attention to it.

But when the media dug deeper, they discovered it.

This movie has actually earned so much box office revenue around the world, and has even entered the commercial film honor that many domestic directors now hope to obtain - the Academy Award.

Weibo, Tieba, Zhihu, and other places where netizens gather, have started heated discussions:

"I thought Zhang Chen would slowly fade out of the entertainment industry after the last incident, but I didn't expect him to be so desperate."

"Who said Zhang Chen didn't make any moves? Didn't you pay attention to what happened in Hong Kong Island two weeks ago?"

"Please elaborate, brother above!" "Do you remember what Feng Kuazi said at the press conference at the end of last year? I think we will soon see the full standardization of intellectual property rights in music and movies in the mainland."

"What the hell? I would like to pay Chenguang Music and CGT Player, but I can't find many resources on these two platforms. Can we only watch the movies on CGT Player and listen to the music on Chenguang Music Player in the future?"

"The specific outcome of the case is still unknown, but the person who spread the seeds online was sentenced to prison a few days ago. However, he has been released on bail and is said to have appealed. If his appeal is still sentenced, I estimate that under the promotion of some people in China, he will also take this step!"

"But Feng Kuzi said that he wanted to sue Baidu. This shouldn't have much to do with search engines, right?"

"How can it be okay? At least they should be charged with the crime of failing to supervise properly and allowing pirated resources to spread."

"Anyway, I don't think it can hurt Baidu in the slightest. It's none of Baidu's business anyway."

"We're getting off topic. Aren't we talking about Zhang Chen's nomination?"

"It's just a nomination. Didn't Zhang Yimou's Hero get nominated before? But it didn't win in the end."

"Think about the Grammy Awards. When Zhang Chen was so young, he won two important awards for the first time. I think this Oscar will also be in Zhang Chen's pocket!"

"Come on, music is something Zhang Chen has been learning since he was a child, so everyone is convinced that he can achieve what he has today, but if he wins a big award for his first production, then..."

There were so many comments online, some praising him, some questioning him. Anyway, for a while, the discussion about Zhang Chen on the Internet was endless.

"You've been nominated for an Oscar, why don't you have any reaction at all?"

Liu Yifei sat opposite Zhang Chen holding a laptop. She had just been looking at the comments praising Zhang Chen on the computer, and from time to time she would use her small account to like the comments she liked.

This is an Oscar, and no mainland director has ever won it.

"What's so surprising about this? After spending so much money, it would be strange if we can't get a few decent nominations."

Zhang Chen didn't even raise his head, still staring at the computer.

He has been staring at his computer for some time recently, which is full of some scraps of information from across the ocean.

"What have you been watching these days? You haven't even gone out."

"Children don't need to understand."

"Humph, I'll be an adult in a few months, so be careful!" Liu Yifei said proudly, "I want to see if there is anything that I can't understand."

After Liu Yifei finished speaking, she walked behind Zhang Chen, wanting to see what Zhang Chen was busy with recently.

The main reason was that Zhang Chen didn't avoid her. When he watched these things, he was either in the living room or in the dining room. Anyway, he was not afraid of people knowing.

If Zhang Chen was working in the study, she would never go in to disturb him.

Now that she can see it, she won't be polite.

"Hey!"

Liu Yifei leaned over Zhang Chen, her chin resting on top of his head, her upper body pressed against the back of his head, and her hands passed over him to control the computer: "I'm Kang Kang."

What does it mean to be unscrupulous? Liu Yifei is unscrupulous now.

She didn't shy away from the differences between men and women and threw herself on Zhang Chen.

It's 05!

God knows how long she has been waiting for this year.
