It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 361 Add salt to sweet porridge? Oranges are bitter? Arthur, please sit down? Castrate me? To

Oscar's position allocation is very particular.

Chen Fei and the crew of "Slumdog Millionaire" were arranged in the second and third rows of seats, which were silver C seats.

The prime C seats in the first row are basically the nominees for Best Actor and Best Actress, as well as Hollywood superstars such as Leonardo DiCaprio. The faces of these people are the guarantee of ratings, so they naturally have to sit in front of the camera.

"Fei! Look, the first person to present the award is Anthony Hopkins!"

It was Deepika Padukone's first time at the Oscars, so she was very excited and shouted excitedly to everyone she saw.

"Ok, I know."

Chen Fei nodded and glanced at this cannibalistic superstar.

The other party seemed to notice his look and chuckled at him to show friendliness.

But what he didn't know was that his smile was really scary, scaring some of the female stars in the back row into shrinking their heads.

The first award awarded was for Best Documentary Short Film. This award had nothing to do with Chen Fei. He could just sit in the audience and watch the fun.

But when the third award for Best Editing was announced, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"The winner of the 81st Academy Award for Best Editing is - "Slumdog Millionaire", congratulations!"

The scene suddenly burst into applause and noise, the jackpot is here!

"You're going to get a prize now?"

In Gansu Province, in the crew of "Three Guns Surprise", Zhang Yimou's face changed slightly, and his eyes were full of surprise.

He obviously didn't expect that he would win this award so easily.

"Oh, I have no chance."

His face suddenly became a little heavy. The comedy suspense film he was currently filming invited a group of people from the Zhao family class, and the protagonist was Xiao Shen Yang, who was the most popular this year.

It's a pity that he doesn't think much of this drama. If Zhang Weiping hadn't insisted, he actually wanted to make a literary film.

This feeling of being controlled by others is really uncomfortable!

The awards are still in progress.

After the best costume design, it was time to award the best photography.

"The winner of the Best Cinematography Award at the 81st Academy Awards is - "Slumdog Millionaire". Congratulations..."

Under the stage, a Chinese-faced man suddenly stood up and his eyes widened!

His name is Zhang Xuezeng. He graduated from the photography department of Nortel. He is Chen Fei's official photographer. The two of them have been working together since the filming of the first "Buried Alive".

He was also the director of photography in several of Chen Fei's subsequent films, such as "No Man's Land", "Mulan", and "The Embalmer", including this one "Slumdog Millionaire".

"I...I won an Oscar?"

"Why are you standing there in a daze? Go up and hold the statuette! If you don't go, I'll let someone else do it for you!" Chen Fei joked with a smile.

"No, no, no! I'm going! I'm going!" Zhang Xuezeng ran away quickly.

A Chinese face suddenly appeared at the Oscars ceremony, which brought an extraordinary shock to the mainland!

Lu Chuan, who had just returned from the court, was drinking porridge cooked by his girlfriend Qin Lan and watching the TV screen.

When he saw that familiar face flashing by frequently, he suddenly felt resentful in his heart!

"Nanjing! Nanjing! "The failure of "The Movie" made him very aggrieved, and the severe beating he received at the airport made him a laughing stock in the industry.

He went to the court many times to appeal, but could not find the people who beat him, which made him feel even more nameless.

Now, Chen Fei's success was more like adding fuel to the fire to him, making him suddenly lose his appetite.

"What is this cooking thing? You put so much salt in it, do you want to salt me ​​to death?"

At the dinner table, Qin Lan was confused when he saw Lu Chuan suddenly getting angry.

What's wrong with you?

She was clearly cooking sweet porridge. She only put some sugar and wolfberry in it, but no salt!

The Oscars are still awarding awards.

After Zhang Xuezeng stepped down, the next step was the awards for Best Art Direction, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

The original screenplay has nothing to do with Chen Fei. His attention is focused on the award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

The competition is fierce. He is competing with "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "The Reader," "The Conversation," and "District 9," all of which were nominated for the Best Picture Award. It is a strong competitor to "Slumdog"!

With much anticipation, beauty host Tina Fey announced: "Congratulations, Fei! Congratulations on Slumdog Millionaire."

As the applause rang out, Chen Fei stood up with a smile, hugged everyone around him, and walked onto the podium.

Speaking of which, this is the second time he has won a screenplay award, and this is nothing new for him.

"Another one? This is the third one!"

In China, Brother Chen Kai, who had just finished filming "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", stayed at home alone, watching the Hollywood awards ceremony.

He was still a little angry about the fact that "Mei Lanfang" failed to be nominated for the best foreign language film.

Now that he saw Chen Fei's movie winning three awards in a row, jealousy suddenly began to spread crazily in his heart!

"It's best to only have three, and don't win any of the big prizes later!"

He prayed silently, and his belly was so small that it was only as big as the eye of a needle.

After Chen Fei steps down, the next step is the Best Animated Feature Film and Short Film Awards.

Not surprisingly, "Kung Fu Panda" once again defeated Disney's "Lightning Dogs" and won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film.

As a director, Chen Fei was on the podium again before he could even warm up his stool.

For a moment, the envy on the scene was undisguised!

Last year's "WALL-E" and this year's "Kung Fu Panda" both won awards for two consecutive years. They are simply inhumane!

In the audience, the CEOs of Pixar Animation and DreamWorks Animation looked a little unhappy. The two losses made them quite dissatisfied.

But then, something even more annoying happened for them.

Just as Chen Fei was leaving the stage after finishing his acceptance speech, Spielberg, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly stood up, smiled and stretched out his arms towards him.

The next second, the two hugged each other tightly!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

In an instant, the flash lights of the on-site media directly illuminated the entire hall!

The embrace of two top Hollywood commercial film directors is such a famous scene!

Combined with the news of the cooperation between Waltons Pictures and DreamWorks, isn't this a symbol of the two swords joining forces?

"Fuck!"

Jeffrey Katzenberg frowned. There were so many top talents in the DreamWorks film department that they were almost on par with their animation department.

At this time, with the help of Chen Fei, the "Chief Content Executive", it is simply even more powerful!

He seems to have seen the future of two companies dominating Hollywood.

After the hug ended, the two didn't communicate too much, everything was said in silence.

Chen Fei turned around and returned to his seat. After sitting down, he handed the trophy to Andrew Brocher and then waited for the next award.

At this time, the domestic signal transmission had just reached the moment when the award for "Kung Fu Panda" was announced.

"Mad, got another one!"

Lu Chuan stopped drinking porridge and started eating fruit plate instead.

But at this time, he only felt that the oranges in his hands were bitter, and his heart was even more sour!

"Who did you buy this orange from? It's so unpalatable, so painful." Lu Chuan angrily threw the remaining half of the orange into the trash can.

Qin Lan: "???"

What's wrong with you? Didn't you buy this yourself?

In the Nortel Auditorium, when Chen Fei and Spielberg were seen embracing, there were bursts of exclamations!

"What the fuck? Director Chen is so awesome. After winning the award, he actually made Spielberg stand up and give him a hug."

"My dear, is this the style of a great international director? He's such a complete mess!"

"If these two people can cooperate, they will be invincible in the world!"

"When can I meet Spielberg? Even if it's just to get an autograph."

"That's what being a director should be like!"

Everyone in the Nortel Directing Department watched with great enthusiasm, especially Guo Fan, who had just passed the postgraduate re-examination. Seeing the interaction between Chen Fei and his idol Spielberg on the big screen, he felt infinite yearning in his heart.

"When will I reach such heights?"

He murmured, clenching his fists on his legs and a burning light bursting out of his eyes.

~

After Chen Fei accepted the award, the announcement of the awards for the live-action short film officially began, followed by Jessica Biel's introduction of the Science and Technology Achievement Award and the Gordon E. Sawyer Award.

The Minions from "Mouse Mouse" and "Despicable Me" instantly appeared on the big screen.

Seeing those extremely realistic hairs, Guo Fan, who has a passion for science fiction and special effects, suddenly lit up and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "When will China have such a special effects production company?"

At the Oscars ceremony, Chen Fei pursed his lips and looked at the image of Little Mouse, and inexplicably the figure of Zhang Jingchu appeared in his mind.

This woman is really cruel to herself. The investment in "The Disciple" is not high, so it is naturally impossible to use special effects like Mouse Brother, so those mice crawling on her are real guys!

I heard that when filming this scene, a mouse almost got into her mouth, which scared Wu Yanzu who was also on the set!

The next step is the selection of best supporting actor.

Chen Fei saw Robert Downey Jr.'s "Tropic Thunder" and Heath Ledger's "The Dark Knight."

As expected, the award should go to these two.

The only pity is that Heath Ledger cannot come to the scene today, and it is impossible to come to the Oscars in the future.

He died of an accidental overdose in January last year at the age of 28.

The final result did not exceed Chen Fei's expectation. Heath Ledger, who loves to repair bats, came up with the idea of ​​"becoming a god after death"!

In the audience, Batman director Nolan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up to prepare to go on stage.

He will accept this award instead of Heath Ledger. This is the first Oscar tonight for "Batman" and perhaps the last.

These academic judges don't like blockbusters, they love dramas, so compared to "Slumdog Millionaire", his Batman really has no chance of winning.

But then, the Best Sound Editing award gave Nolan a taste of the sweetness. This was the second Oscar statuette for "Batman" tonight.

But then the best visual effects and the best sound effects were insulated from him.

The former was given to "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and the latter was given to "Slumdog Millionaire."

"Damn it, "Slumdog Millionaire" has already taken fourth place! It's endless, isn't it?"

In a villa in Kowloon District, Hong Kong, Wu Yu was cursing and looking unhappy.

Inexplicably, he felt as if the bet between himself and Han Sanping was about to lose!

He has been in Hollywood for so many years, and he still knows some insider information about Oscars. In addition to Best Sound Effects, the other three awards won by "Slumdog Millionaire" are very important.

This is not a simple technical award, this is already a clarion call to charge for the best film!

The only variable now is Chen Fei's Chinese identity, which is considered a weakness of his. After all, it is quite difficult to award awards to Chinese people at the Oscars.

Except for Li Jiande, he was a pervert, and his nationality also had great variables.

~

The awards continue.

The Best Supporting Actress award went to Penélope Cruz, a Spanish actress who was born in 1974 and is already 35 years old this year.

Because she studied ballet, she maintained a great figure, and her long and straight legs made many people at the scene shine.

Of course, this does not include Chen Fei and Xiao Lizi, because they both like young people.

Bruce liked this style very much, and his eyes widened.

After Penelope Cruz stepped down, another small climax came!

"Slumdog Millionaire" won two consecutive awards for Best Original Score and Best Original Song, directly pushing the number of Oscar winners tonight to six!

On the set of "Three Guns", Lao Mouzi's eyes flashed with light, as if he had already seen Chen Fei winning the grand prize.

Compared to Wu Yu, he really hopes that Chen Fei can win more awards.

The reason is very simple. If Chen Fei can win an important Oscar award as a Chinese director, then naturally Zhang Yimou can too!

He has even prepared a script to compete for the Oscar. It is a story about Jinling. He personally thinks the plot is very shocking.

If Zhang Weiping hadn't strongly urged him to make a commercial film, he might have come up with that script to win a wave of awards.

But, it’s just a delay of one or two years, he must film that story!

At this time, Li Bian, who was in Venice, was also paying attention to today's Oscar Awards ceremony.

He is the chairman of the jury of this year's Venice International Film Festival. Because of his busy work here, he was not able to attend the Oscar awards.

And he didn’t have any works this year, so he declined the invitation from the Oscars.

"Already 6!"

Watching "Slumdog Millionaire" win six Oscars in succession, he felt inexplicably nervous.

If you look at the award results of a single film alone, Chen Fei's work has surpassed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

However, in terms of grand prizes, he is still slightly inferior.

After all, the Oscars focus on Best Director and Best Picture. For an individual, Best Director is the highest honor!

"Then...can he obtain the highest glory?"

Li Jian was inexplicably looking forward to it.

The Oscar awards are also announced in order from weakest to strongest. At this point in the awards ceremony, everything is the highlight.

And the first highlight is Best Foreign Language Film!

In the audience, Ning Hao swallowed, clenched his hands tightly, and even started to sweat on his back.

The only Chinese film shortlisted this year is "The Embalmer", and the competitors are all very strong!

There is "Baader and Meinhof" from Germany, "Between the Walls" from France, "Revenge" from Austria, and finally "Dancing with Bash" from Israel.

These are all powerful enemies!

The choice of award guest is interesting, it's Nolan.

When he walked up to the award podium, he opened the envelope and glanced at the list of works marked on it. His eyes instantly became much more complicated.

It's not over!

Fuck! It’s really endless!

"Congratulations! "The Embalmer", China."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Hao suddenly jumped up like a mole in a whack-a-mole game machine in an amusement park.

"What the hell? I won a prize!"

A crisp piece of Chinese quintessence resounded throughout the Oscar awards scene.

Chen Fei almost couldn't help but spit out, hoping that the radio equipment didn't record it, otherwise the media would definitely have to make a fuss about this sentence.

"Quick, quick, it's time for us to go up and receive the award."

Ning Hao was so excited that he pulled Chen Fei to the stage. He didn't have the confidence to go up alone. The pressure was so great!

"Let's get together." Chen Fei turned around and waved to the rest of the crew of "The Embalmer".

Seeing this, Liu Yifei quickly stood up and helped the two veteran actors beside her obediently.

In this way, everyone climbed onto the podium under the spotlight.

Chen Fei doesn't need this kind of highlight moment. He has already won the best foreign language film with "Mulan" before, so let's give this opportunity to Ning Hao.

After shaking hands with Nolan, he stood next to Liu Yifei and retreated to the second line position.

Ning Hao held the microphone with excitement on his face. Although he spoke very well, he still stumbled a bit in this situation and looked very nervous.

Most people at the scene actually remembered his face. After all, "The Embalmer" also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film and the Golden Bear Award at this year's Berlin Film Festival. It was a sure winner!

In front of the TV, Brother Chen Kai's teeth ached while watching it, and he even had the urge to throw the remote control in his hand directly to the ground!

Why didn't your "Mei Lanfang" even get a nomination?

Why did he win both the Golden Bear and the Oscar for "The Embalmer"?

Why!

But he kept the remote control after all, because the door to the second bedroom was opened and his biological son walked out.

"Dad..." Chen Feiyu glanced at his gloomy father, said hello, and subconsciously prepared to leave.

But Brother Chen Kai was not ready to let him go. Such a good punching bag would not be used in vain!

"Arthur, please sit down!"

Brother Chen Kai patted the sofa and motioned for Chen Feiyu to sit over.

He was going to test his son's recent acting skills. His requirements were not high, as long as he could surpass Chen Fei, the Berlin actor.

Chen Feiyu: "..."

~

After the awards for Best Foreign Language Film are over, the next step is the Best Director Award.

Sexy actress Nicole Kidman, wearing a long silver dress, walked onto the awards stage and gently began to open the envelope.

Seeing this scene, many people in front of the TV subconsciously held their breath and became a little nervous inexplicably.

At the scene, Chen Fei seemed quite relaxed on the surface, but the hands on his legs were still clenched a little tighter involuntarily.

It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous. This is the Oscar for Best Director. Even though there are many doubts about this award from the outside world, its gold content is not bad at all!

And tonight's competitors are each stronger than the last.

"Conversation with Nickon", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "The Reader", "Milk"!

Chen Fei himself felt it was a bit mysterious, let alone the audience who were watching the program in front of the TV at the moment.

"What the hell? Can I win an award? Who is that female star? Can't you move more quickly?"

Some people have already started complaining.

At this time, Sabei Nian, who was serving as the host, couldn't help but rambled, "If I were the award guest, I would definitely tear open the envelope as soon as possible!"

Jing Wei: "..."

The meaning of your words is too obvious. Isn't it because you dislike others for being too slow?

The Kodak Theater suddenly became silent at this moment. The Best Director Award, which represents the director's highest personal honor, was about to be announced, and everyone was looking forward to it.

Emotions were at full strength, and finally, Nicole Kidman opened the envelope.

"The winner of the 81st Academy Award for Best Director is——"

She paused and looked at the second row, "Slumdog Millionaire, Fei, congratulations!"

boom! ! !

The moment Nicole Kidman finished speaking, there was an uproar in the theater!

Almost everyone focused their attention on Chen Fei, either with envy, disdain, jealousy, or resentment... But underneath all these emotions there was another emotion hidden, and that was - admiration!

No matter how much money Chen Fei spent on public relations, being able to win this Best Director Award means that his professional level is absolutely top-notch.

And that's enough.

In the front row, seeing Chen Fei stand up and walk onto the podium again, Leonardo was so jealous that he left Chibi!

There is no justice!

God is really standing behind this Chinese director!

When can I get a Best Actor trophy?

~

At the same time, in Xiangjiang, in the villa area.

Watching Chen Fei slowly stand up and walk to the podium on the TV, Wu Yu's face suddenly turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost.

Chen Fei is not a Chinese-American, he is a pure and serious Chinese. Why can he win the Oscar for Best Director in this capacity?

"How much public relations money did you spend on this horse? Not only can you ask the president of the United States to write a movie review, but you can also persuade so many people to vote. Isn't this outrageous?"

Wu Yu cursed and said, feeling resentful in his heart.

Chen Fei won the Oscar for Best Director, which means that he and Han Sanping have lost half of their bet. He must then use half of the director's fees he earned while filming "Red Cliff" for charity.

For Wu Yu, who is a "Pixiu", this kind of thing is almost like castrating him!
