In mid-January 2007, Summit Entertainment suddenly held an emergency meeting, which was personally chaired by Chairman Chen Xueqian, who has been regarded as a myth by the entire company. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"In the last few years, we have been working on making films, but we should feel more and more that films have some natural limitations, long time spans, short release cycles, and easy dissipation of attention. So I'm ready to start a brand new project in 2007. ”

When Chen Xueqian said this, his gaze swept over the entire conference room one by one. Looking at these people sitting below, each of them looking at themselves with anticipation, Chen Xueqian knew that after a series of legendary things during this period of time, he had completely conquered these subordinates.

"I think you've all read the New York Times story about me, and I don't know if you've noticed one of them, that I bought shares in Flix, but the New York Times didn't say how much I bought in that company! In fact, I have a 37% stake in the company, and the other shareholders have expressed their reluctance to sell their shares and wait for us to pay dividends because of my entry. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xueqian shrugged his shoulders and expressed his helplessness, and the staff sitting below also laughed out loud at the right time.

"But it's a pity that they chose the wrong person, and they had to be brave enough to be a partner with me. This year, we will take the opportunity to launch a self-made TV series on the occasion of entering FLIX, and the first TV series I have finalized is a TV series based on a novel called "A Song of Ice and Fire", and the production cost of this TV series is tentatively $6 million per episode. ”

When Chen Xueqian's words came out, everyone present was in an uproar, this production cost was simply too scary. You must know that the production cost of a single episode of a normal American drama should be 1 million US dollars, compared to 6 million, which is unimaginable, you must know that the total cost of an action movie shot by Chen Xueqian last year was only 2 million US dollars.

Chen Xueqian shrugged his shoulders again, "So I said, it takes enough courage to be my partner." We will be responsible for the formation of the crew of this TV series, and my requirement is to be good enough to demand this TV series like a movie. In addition to this TV series, I will launch another TV series. After all, a drama that costs 6 million still needs time to shoot. As for this drama, the name is "Modern Family", after this drama, I will decide what TV series will be launched in the future, depending on the effect. In short, in the next period of time, everyone should cheer up, the movies "Twilight 3", "The Hangover 3" and "Hurricane Rescue 3" will also start filming this year, in addition, I am also preparing to launch my other novel adaptation "The Hunger Games" in 2008, so everyone should cheer up in the next period of time! ”

For Chen Xueqian's new arrangement, the entire Summit Entertainment Company obviously felt that Chen Xueqian was full of energy, and at the same time, the news of Chen Xueqian's stay in FLIX could not be stopped. On the same day, the company, which had recently fallen sharply due to the increase in service fees, became the focus of public opinion.

It's really Chen Xueqian's news that is too hot during this time. Unstoppable, Flix's stock skyrocketed again, but then a piece of news came out, which made the shareholders who were secretly glad that they had boarded the big boat of Chen Xueqian unable to laugh at all.

"Today we got the news that Chen Xueqian quickly signed a hit novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" after joining Flix, Chen Xueqian told the media that he will complete the film in full accordance with the production standards of the film, and it is expected that the investment in this drama will be 6 million US dollars per episode.

When I heard the news, not to mention that those shareholders were dumbfounded, but all the practitioners of American TV dramas couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

However, they didn't know that this was just the beginning of Chen Xueqian, after all, he planned to incorporate popular TV series such as "The Walking Dead", "House of Cards" and "Vampire Diaries" into his super madman.

At that time, I am afraid that when American dramas are mentioned, people will only remember this super bull website that occupies half of the classic American dramas.

In February 2007, the annual Oscars ceremony was held in Hollywood, Los Angeles, USA.

When Chen Xueqian led the production team of "Focus" to appear on the scene, countless people who didn't know each other stepped forward to say hello.

When he walked the red carpet before, Chen Xueqian did not show up, he entered directly through the staff passage on the side.

Many people don't understand this, but Chen Xueqian doesn't care about other people's opinions, for him, what matters is never the evaluation of others.

In fact, the reason why he did this was entirely because Chen Xueqian was worried that a fanatic would emerge from somewhere, and then take a gun to him. You know, his movie is a slap in the face for Catholicism. And here is the United States again, the American imperialist with guns overflowing, it is better to keep a low profile.

But although he thought so in his heart, he wouldn't say it.

When he walked into the venue, Chen Xueqian sensitively found that there were a lot of female stars staring at him with burning eyes. He was a little at a loss for a while, it stands to reason that these actresses should be the focus of attention, why do they think they think of him as an idol.

Perhaps women are more sensitive to this aspect of things, Rachel McAdams, who was standing next to him, was the first to notice the abnormality in the field, turned his head and said to Chen Xueqian: "Director, you are now a real big star in the eyes of those people." You must know that although these female stars are in the limelight now, no one dares to guarantee whether they will be able to continue to maintain such infinite scenery next year. You must know that the elimination rate in Hollywood is very high. ”

Speaking of this, Rachel herself sighed lightly, which was not true for her.

"But if you can get in touch with a big guy like you, it's a completely different story. After all, Summit Entertainment is now the most promising to become the seventh largest in Hollywood. ”

After listening to Rachel's introduction, Chen Xueqian couldn't help but feel a little clear in his heart, it seemed that he had some cognitive deviations before.

In fact, for Chen Xueqian, Hollywood's big stars are still relatively far away, he once read a report in his previous life, it is said that when Hong Kong director John Woo and Tom cooperated, John Woo, as a director, had to accommodate the big star Tom in many places.

In fact, it seems that even in Hollywood, there are not many big stars like Tom.

The number of Oscar participants this year is as large as ever, that is, there are phenomenal stars with super box office appeal like Will Smith, and handsome guys like Leonardo who are liked by countless teenagers. Nor is there a beauty like Fannicle Kidman.

Among them, Chen Xueqian's attention was slightly noticed that two Chinese films were nominated for Oscars this year.

Among them, the short film of Chinese director Yang Ziye was nominated for Best Documentary Short Film, and the other was nominated for Best Costume Award for the film of the National Teacher.

However, although Chen Xueqian paid a little attention to the two crews, he did not come forward to talk. For these two people, Chen Xueqian's impression is not very good.

At this time, most of the Chinese films that won the Oscars relied on peddling China's negative issues. Other mainstream films have won few Oscars. Except for Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the other awards are all innocuous awards.

During this period, reporters also came to interview Chen Xueqian, but he didn't say anything nutritious, after all, he was not sure if he could win the Oscars at this time.

Soon the Oscars officially began, and after a series of inconsequential small awards, the first nomination for Best Editing for "Spotlight" was awarded.

However, Chen Xueqian suffered a setback in this award, and the final winner of the award was this year's hit film "Infernal Affairs". After failing in the first award, "Spotlight" soon lost in Best Supporting Actor and Actress.

Just when the entire "Focus" team was a little unpleasant for a while, they finally won the first award of this awards gala.

Best Original Screenplay Award!

This award is quite important among all the Oscar awards, and with such an award in the bag, Chen Xueqian finally did not come in vain.

When Chen Xueqian, as the only screenwriter of this film, came to the stage to accept the award, he was very calm.

"To be honest, I was a little bit defeated to win this award, after all, my script was based on real events of the year. I can't thank all the members of the Boston Globe Focus Group! Thank you for everything! ”

won a grand prize, and then there was no Chen Xueqian for a long time.

When the Best Actor and Actress and Best Director awards were awarded respectively, it finally came to the most important part of the Oscars, the Oscar for Best Picture. The Best Picture nominees include "The Queen", "Infernal Affairs", "Letter from Iwo Jima", "Tower of Babel" and Chen Xueqian's "Spotlight"

In the previous life, this year's Oscar Best Picture was finally won by "Infernal Affairs", and in this life, because of Chen Xueqian's turmoil, many variables were suddenly added.

And judging from the current situation, these films are also quite stale.

"Queen" won Best Actress, "Infernal Affairs" is not counting those small awards, and just won the Best Director Award. "Babel" also won an award for best sound effects. And "Spotlight" also won a Best Original Screenplay.

Just as the award presenters were gaging on stage, the reporters also waited with bated breath for the final result. (To be continued.) )
