Chapter 384: The praise of the former enemy
Soon the Oscars are officially over, except for the glamorous "Bomb Disposal Unit".
At the Oscar celebration party, the executives of the six major Hollywood companies who were originally dismissive of the crew members of "Life is Beautiful".
At this time, they also surrounded Peng Yichen and Yu Jing, eagerly introducing their identities and intentions to cooperate.
"Hello, I'm Frieson Ed, the head of the production department of Global Pictures, this is my business card, Director Peng, are you interested, the next film will be filmed with our company. ”
"I'm Bacchus Ren, Production Manager at Paramount. Director Peng, I heard that your next film is a science fiction film? If you want, you can leave it to our Paramount co-production. ”
"Director Gu, I'm Siddle Barker from Disney, and I hope we can work together on a movie this year......"
After the wonderful appearance at the Oscars, major film companies began to change their attitudes towards Peng Yichen and began to try to contact Chen Jing Film Company for various possibilities of cooperation.
Yu Jing politely accepted all the business cards like a little assistant, and took the time to whisper to Peng Yichen: "You are really bold enough to make such a high-profile declaration on the Oscar stage." Now even the big Hollywood companies don't dare to underestimate you. ”
After Peng Yichen won the "Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film" and announced that he would win the Oscar again next year, the media blockade constructed by Time Warner Bix against Peng Yichen has completely collapsed.
The other Hollywood Big Six are even more likely to start their own small calculations.
The future of Chen Jing Film Company in North America is bright.
Peng Yichen smiled at Jing and said: "I don't think the effect of today's high-profile declaration is not very good, you see that the party that came to us today is just the middle-level producers of the six major Hollywood majors, and I haven't seen a real power figure." ”
"Of course, we just won a golden man for the best foreign language film, and the Hollywood Big Six will definitely not come to us to cooperate. Yu Jing has been very concerned about the company's management in the past two years, and it seems that she is ready to be the boss.
"Therefore, the acquisition of Time Warnat is the best way for us to gain a foothold in Hollywood. The cold light in Peng Yichen's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "If it's just the owner of a small company in Huaxia, people can't look down on us." It's only when we become in control of Hollywood's biggest studios that they treat us as equal partners. ”
Just as Peng Yichen and Yu Jing were chatting about their future development plans in Hollywood, a gentle white man suddenly walked over.
"Hello, Director Peng. "Life is Beautiful" and "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" are both very wonderful movies, and I love your performances in these two films. Also, your acceptance speech tonight was wonderful. As soon as the slightly elderly white man came up, he gently expressed his appreciation for Peng Yichen.
Peng Yichen took a serious look, and it turned out to be Christopher Waltz, the winner of today's Best Supporting Actor.
The Austrian actor, born in 1956, has also been in Hollywood for half his life.
Because, there is naturally a trace of nobility and evil in his smile, and he often plays the role of a noble villain in Hollywood movies. is a powerful actor with very good acting skills.
Facing the old actor's appreciation, Peng Yichen was very happy, he nodded with a smile, and said: "You have a good reputation! My acting skills still need to be honed." ”
Speaking of this, Peng Yichen's heart suddenly moved when he said this, and he took a closer look at the temperament and appearance of this old actor, which is very in line with an important role in his next science fiction movie.
"With all due respect, Mr. Waltz, there's a character in my next film that is perfect for you, and I wonder what your schedule is for this year......?"
Christopher Waltzlen paused for a moment and asked with interest, "Really? I'm so lucky." You know, your movie is now guaranteed an Oscar!"
Peng Yichen knew that he was ridiculing his "arrogant declaration" just now, and shook his head with a smile: "My next movie is a science fiction film, not for Olympics!"
"Well, I'm more interested, you know, I haven't been in a science fiction movie yet!" Waltz laughed.
"Then Mr. Waltz, would you like to accept my invitation to audition!" Peng Yichen asked solemnly.
Christopher Waltz laughs: "Just call me Chris, I'm very interested in this audition." ”
Peng Yichen didn't expect the other party to agree so quickly, it seems that his praise for himself just now was not polite.
"Thank you very much! I'll send the script to your agent and tell him when the audition will be. Peng Yichen shook hands with Christopher Waltz and said with a smile: "I hope we have a happy cooperation." ”
"Okay, I'm also looking forward to working together between us. Christopher Waltz said this with a smile, and then left all the business cards of himself and his agent to Yu Jing, and then went to chat with friends.
Looking at Christopher Waltz, who had already walked away, Peng Yichen felt a little emotional, his decision to come to North America seemed to be right.
Today, with the opportunity of great success in the Oscars and film markets for "Life is Beautiful" and "Double Treasure Fighting Demons", he has successfully established his reputation in the film industry in North America and even around the world.
Nowadays, there will be more and more foreign filmmakers who are willing to do it with themselves, and his films will be able to gather more outstanding talents and resources, and the shooting level and performance environment will of course get better and better.
This is very good for his future development.
followed Yu Jing in the hall where the party was held, and after a few more turns, Peng Yichen, who had drunk a lot of champagne, felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
Finding an opportunity, he entrusted Yu Jing to Zhao Liansheng and Xiao Wang Qing to take care of, and ran to the bathroom at the back of the hall to go to the toilet.
After looking around in the depths of the hall for a few times, he finally found the bathroom, Peng Yichen couldn't care about his temperament and demeanor, and ran in with a puff of smoke.
This speed is a bit like a national art master.
Just as he was enjoying himself in a certain toilet stall, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps at the door.
A voice suddenly sounded outside: "Alas, I really didn't expect it. A small Chinese director can get 3 Oscars, he really climbed to the sky this time...... Mr. James, we at Foucus are in a hurry to work with him now, right?"
Peng Yichen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he would be able to meet people from Fokesi Pictures by himself, but he didn't know if these people were the top executives of Fokesi, or just some small minions.
At this time, the man from James replied: "This Chinese director named Peng Yichen is very talented. Recently I found all of his movies and watched them. While there are a few films that don't fit into the North American film market, there's no denying that every film he makes is a classic. What's even more incredible is that he also served as the screenwriter and starring actor of these movies. He can be described as a cinematic genius. ”
Listening to the voice, this James feels very young, at most in his 30s.
Just listening to the tone of his voice, you can feel that he is a young man's master.
Moreover, when Peng Yichen heard another person speak to him, his attitude was extremely respectful, and he knew that this person's status in Fokesi should not be low......
And hearing that James has a high opinion of himself, Peng Yichen can't help but be a little interested in him, at least his vision is very good.
At this time, an old voice sounded next to him, and said disapprerovingly: "A Chinese person, but he thinks he can win an important Oscar award, I think he is just a madman." ”
The first voice sighed: "Mr. Stan, you know this Peng Yichen, I thought so when I first dealt with him, but then what...... Alas!"
It seems that this person has also dealt with Peng Yichen together.
Peng Yichen couldn't remember for a while when he had a relationship with someone from Fokes.
How did he know that this person was the director of the Asia-Pacific region of Columbia.
It was precisely because he launched a public opinion offensive in the summer file to bring down Peng Yichen and "Journey to the West", but in the end, stealing chickens and rice failed, and he was fired by Columbia.
Now he is a mid-level leader at Foucus.
Stan...... Fox ......
When Peng Yichen heard this, he already knew who the old man who looked down on him was.
Who else but the master cartoonist Stan Lee, known as the "Father of Superheroes" of the Star Flag Country.
If it had been two years ago, before Hollywood superhero movies became popular, this old guy would have been the existence of soy sauce in Hollywood.
In the past two years, with the gradual popularity of superhero movies such as "Iron Man" and "Captain America", his status has become higher and higher.
Peng Yichen was happy in his heart, he was planning to fight in the ring with DC Comics movies and Marvel movies in the past two years, but he didn't expect to meet his future "opponent" in this way in this toilet.
Now you can listen to how these people talk about themselves behind their backs, so that they can "know themselves and know their opponents".
Peng Yichen was still thinking in his heart, the high-level of Fokesili knew him.
Outside, Stan Lee asked curiously, "Dutt, when you used to be the director of Asia in Columbia, you were a very confident person. How come it is that now in Foucus, it has become timid. Even if Peng Yichen won three little golden figures, it was just some unimportant small awards. As for how much you value him?"
The one named Dutt took a deep breath and said helplessly: "If he were a director who can only make movies, I wouldn't pay much attention to him." But in addition to making movies, he is also very powerful in publicity and marketing.
Do you know why I was fired by Columbia? It was because last summer, I launched several public opinion offensives in Huaxia against this Peng Yichen, all of which were resolved by him one by one.
In the end, several of our Hollywood commercial films released in the summer vacation of China last year were all defeated by his films.
Don't look at him as he was not famous in Hollywood before, but his influence and box office appeal in the Chinese film industry are far beyond your imagination. If we want to break into the Chinese film market, we can't step into this young man. ”
