Every year after the Oscars, there are all kinds of discussions and scolding battles, and each discussion can make the Oscars more famous, so the academy is also happy to see it.
The New York Daily News criticized the advertisements for being soaked in the Oscars, resulting in an excessively lengthy ceremony, and some newspapers criticized the Oscars selection mechanism, which the Oscars were not surprised to disregard.
And the country is also overwhelmingly reported, and the core of the news report is that Chen Yongren won the Oscar for Best Director, and netizens are also discussing, and now Chen Yongren has completely confirmed the title of the first director in China, and you are not convinced? You also won an Oscar for Best Director.
The news about the Oscars in China is no less popular than that of Hollywood, but after attending the Oscar dinner and celebration banquet, Chen Yongren flew back to Beijing by plane on the afternoon of 25 February and arrived in Beijing on the morning of 26 February.
After a few days of jet lag, he held a press conference on the morning of March 1 to answer some questions that everyone was concerned about, and by the way, he took the opportunity to announce his new film plan.
Since the moment Chen Yongren won the Oscar for Best Director, the domestic media can't wait to interview him for the first time.
So after receiving the notice that Longteng Film and Television will hold a press conference at ten o'clock in the morning on March 1, these media have been waiting expectantly.
The time came to 9:50 on March 1 in a blink of an eye, and at this time, the press hall on the first floor of the Longteng Film and Television Headquarters was specially used for holding a press conference, and the scene was already full.
When Chen Yongren arrived at the venue, the reporters at the scene were already waiting for the scene, and hundreds of reporters attended the press conference.
After Chen Yongren took his seat in front of the rostrum, assistant Huang Huishan presided over the press conference.
"Good morning, fellow journalists, welcome everyone, Director Chen will answer some questions about the recent Oscars. The main purpose of this press conference is also that Director Chen's new film is about to start filming, so I would like to take this opportunity to ask everyone to promote more ,......" assistant Huang Huishan reported the opening speech, and then the press conference officially began.
In fact, this press conference is also Chen Yongren's laziness, after all, if he wins any international awards in China, he will always accept a round of interviews, interviews with various TV programs, and all kinds of interviews when he comes back, and you can't refuse them all, otherwise people will say that you are putting on a score.
Chen Yongren, on the other hand, rejected all the interviews and some interviews, and directly held a press conference and answered them all at once, saving him a waste of time.
"Hello Director Chen, I'm a reporter from the Magic City Daily, what do you think about a lot of public opinion on the market? Many people think that "Interstellar" should win the best movie more than "No Country for Old Men", and they think that the Oscars are still a bit too niche...... "The reporter said a lot of things, or some commonplace questions.
Chen Yongren said with a smile: "First of all, I want to thank everyone for their support for "Interstellar", and secondly, for the selection of the Oscars, I think you have to ask the Oscar judges, and then "No Country for Old Men" is indeed a very good movie, and then I really feel sorry for not being able to get the best picture, but I think for the Oscars, for "Interstellar", it is already a kind of progress and success to be nominated,......
Chen Yongren also replied, and many reporters also wrote quickly.
"Hello Director Chen, I am a reporter from Southern Entertainment Daily, for the first time I participated in the Oscars, I won two awards, including the Best Director Award, becoming the youngest Best Director winner in the history of the Oscars, which is a very remarkable achievement.
Director Chen, for the movie "Interstellar", not only at the box office and word of mouth, but also in terms of awards, it can be said that it is a great success, do you think it is very successful now?"
Chen Yongren looked at the reporter and replied: "First of all, a director may make one or two well-received movies, but this does not mean that he is a qualified and successful director, because he may make a lot of movies that are not popular or popular in the future."
So I think to judge the success of a director is to see how much the director has contributed to the film, and then prove and test it through time, and it needs to be confirmed and recognized by the audience, so I don't think that I won the Oscar for Best Director, I am already a very successful director, I think my current achievements are still very small, and I will continue to maintain my sincerity in the future, as always, to create more movies that the audience loves........."
After answering some questions about the Oscars one after another, a reporter finally asked questions about the new film.
"Hello Director Chen, since the release of "Interstellar", you have not planned to shoot a new film for a long time, so do you have any ideas for the next movie? Will you try new themes? Or will you continue the theme of science fiction?" asked a reporter from the movie channel.
Chen Yongren couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this, what does it mean that he hasn't made a movie for a long time, many directors only release a movie in a few years, my speed is fast enough, and every movie can maintain such a high 'level', just look at the world, which director can do it?
"First of all, the script for the new movie has been written a long time ago, this movie is a superhero movie, it is also a science fiction movie, it is a very burning movie, the movie will start filming in the near future, and the specific content can be paid attention to the official Weibo. Chen Yongren replied with a smile.
"Director Chen, what is the name of the movie? Can you briefly introduce the plot?" asked a reporter from Huaxia Entertainment Daily.
Chen Yongren replied with a smile: "The movie is called "Iron Man", which is an action sci-fi blockbuster in which aliens invade the planet, and then a rich and handsome man from China resists the aliens and saves mankind. ”
"Director Chen, has anyone chosen the protagonist of the movie? will this time use a newcomer, or will it cooperate with the old drama bones?" asked a reporter from the Daily Daily.
"Regarding the issue of starring in the movie, you can pay attention to it, the official Weibo, we will announce the news as soon as possible, and then thank you for coming today, today's press conference is over. After Chen Yongren answered, he got up and left.
"Director Chen, can you answer one more question?"
"Director Chen,......"
A bunch of reporters in the audience shouted loudly.
"This is the end of today's press conference for journalists, and we will announce the news about the movie on the official website and official Weibo as soon as possible, so please stay tuned, and then please leave the venue in an orderly manner, thank you for coming today......" Assistant Huang Huishan also took the microphone for the first time after Chen Yongren got up.
In the next few days, all kinds of news continued, and a bunch of stars in the entertainment industry also inquired about Longteng Film and Television employees through various channels, and they all wanted to participate in Chen Yongren's movie.
Netizens are also discussing, and at the same time, they are also very curious about "Iron Man", and Chen Yongren's "Iron Man" has just announced the project, and a bunch of film companies outside have immediately launched various follow-up movies.
What "Mung Bean Man", "Steel Wire Man", and "Iron Man" suddenly have a bunch of heroes, and these film companies have summed up a theorem, that is, it is right to follow Chen Yongren, you can't eat meat, but it's not bad to drink a bowl of soup as soon as possible, so the actors of "Iron Man" haven't been selected yet, and there are already a bunch of heroes who have started filming.
In this regard, Chen Yongren also couldn't cry or laugh, no matter where he followed the trend, there was something that couldn't be stopped or stopped, but he didn't take it to heart.
After all, following the trend has at least promoted the development of the film industry, and there are some high-quality movies that follow the trend, but it would be better if they were all bad movies.
Letting the wind and rain blow outside, Chen Yongren was strolling around at home, thinking about the choice of the leading role, whether to select Iron Man through the audition, or who to find to play.........
