At the Oscars in March 2001, Shoji Murahama attended with GONZO's team and won the Best Animated Feature Award established by the Oscars. This award was originally given to Hayao Miyazaki after it was established next year, but because of the outstanding performance of "World Air Battle Story", Shoji Murahama became the first person to eat crabs. All of a sudden, GONZO had a tendency to surpass Ghibli and become the pride of the Japanese people.

In addition to the Japanese, another Asian at the Oscars, Lee An, has a greater influence, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won four awards for Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Original Score and Best Foreign Language Film, and Lee An also jumped to a new level and entered the ranks of Hollywood's top directors.

At the same time, "Black Fist" also won the title of the Hong Kong Film Awards, but with the virtue of Hong Kong people, there is no hope at all in the titles of "Black Fist", and the most promising best action design won the award because it hit "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" but became the least likely to win. "Shaolin Football" also automatically won the title of the Academy Awards, but in Shen Zhenghui's view, Zhou Xingxing's luck is not very good, this year is obviously the year of Li An's hegemony, he won awards at the Oscars, but he couldn't win the award at the Hong Kong Film Awards, which is absolutely impossible. The organizing committee took great pains to add an award for a new director in addition to the best director, and the discerning person knew at a glance that this was an award tailored for Zhou Xingxing.

There was basically nothing unexpected about the whole awards party, the only thing that surprised Shen Zhenghui a little was that the Best Supporting Actor award was awarded to Daniel Wu in "Black Fist", instead of another Mr. Wu, Wu Zhengyu. The blockbuster "2000 AD" mixed up a number of titles, and finally lost a mess.

Daniel Wu was also very surprised to win this award, he thanked everyone in the crew in his acceptance speech, even including Liu Dehua, who lent a place to the crew to shoot, Liu Tianwang's "A Tiger" also won nothing, but Brother Hua, who finally won the Academy Awards once under the training of Director Du last year, didn't care too much about this.

When awarding the Best Director Award, because Shen Zhenghui did not attend, the host Zeng Ge also specifically mentioned him, saying that it was a pity that the famous Asian director and actor was not present, and the films in which Shen Zhenghui participated and directed exceeded 10 billion yen at the box office in Asia. It also exceeded one billion Hong Kong dollars. Although most of them are brushed in Japan, he can also be called a big figure in the entertainment industry, and the Academy Awards will naturally take the opportunity to hand over an olive branch, not to mention that he is also one of the main investors in "Infernal Affairs".

Gigi Liang also mentioned that the box office of director Shen's new film assembly number in the mainland has exceeded 200 million. In or in the last episode did not fall painted. The next episode is about to be released in the case of a made. As if Shen Zhenghui really had a good reason not to be there. At the same time, the hosts all mentioned that the movie "Assembly" will be released in Hong Kong later, and they all expressed curiosity about the movie itself. This is a clear wind direction. is not only a good sale to Shen Zhenghui, but also a good sale to the mainland official, even if "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "In the Mood for Love" are proud of the audience, it does not make people feel that the crew of "Black Fist" has suffered a cold reception. However, the award of a movie like "Durian Piao" made the mainland feel like a fly again.

The same flies ate again at the Golden Horse Awards at the end of the year.

Zhou Xingxing was not particularly happy when he won the New Director Award, and he barely said a few words of thanks and went down with the trophy, and the host's efforts to gag did not dispel this embarrassing atmosphere, and comedians have always been not favored by academics. At the moment, it is the trough of Hong Kong films, and Xing Ye, as the pillar of Hong Kong films, has to make some kind of compromise at this time, and symbolically present the award to him. But Xing Ye's attitude made the organizing committee feel very embarrassed.

Shen Zhenghui still has something to do if he stays on the mainland.

"Assembly Number (Part I)" broke the box office record of domestic films with 220 million, but this record will soon be broken, because "Assembly Number (Part II)" obviously has more stamina. It is foreseeable that the box office of the two movies will exceed 400 million, which is certain, and whether it can exceed 500 million is still between the two. This news also appeared on the news network, which played a role in fueling the box office of the movie, you know, in many places, "Assembly Number (I)" has not ended yet!

Such astonishing achievements naturally alarmed the big leaders, including the top leaders, and if it weren't for the fact that Shen Zhenghui's previous achievements were all made abroad, this would basically be a concrete achievement in the building of socialist spiritual civilization. But the domestic film broke the box office record of "Titanic" in China, which is still very symbolic, especially this movie is still a war film close to the main theme, so on the news, the president cordially met with Shen Zhenghui and the representatives of the crew, the three assistant directors, as the chief adviser actor Sun Daoling and several advisory representatives, although when it was broadcast on the news, the whole meeting seemed very formal, nothing interesting, but in the real talks, the chairman talked and laughed, The whole meeting was quite relaxed and natural.

The chairman first said that he had watched the first and second episodes of the film, and he was quite appreciative of the battle scenes in the film, and at the same time he was very interested in the expression of the literary drama. In the past, the filming and expression of war films were relatively traditional, and they won by research, such as "Armageddon", the overall structure is meticulous, and every historical detail is worthy of scrutiny, not blind fabrication. "The Assembly" is another way, this film as a whole is completely a literary creation, but this literary creation is not separated from the larger historical background, on the contrary, it makes this historical background more understandable and acceptable. The chairman talked about the details of the film with great interest, and praised the film's subtle recognition of TG's discipline and style, KMT's merciless ridicule and high-level blackness, and the satire of the Americans. He believes that Shen Zhenghui has blazed a new trail in filmmaking and cultural promotion, which is worth learning from other Chinese directors and cultural departments.

This statement sounds good, but this kind of praise makes Shen Zhenghui feel too much pressure, and he raises himself too high, so that he has the possibility of being killed by high-level blacks. It is necessary to let all Chinese film culture change to the path of Shen Zhenghui. This is simply impossible, and the literary and artistic circles have always been the hardest hit areas on the issue of the route.

Shen Zhenghui can only try his best to put the credit on the old soldiers and old comrades, of course, this is not a lie, Shen Zhenghui only determined a direction after all, and the whole movie story can be flesh and blood Xiàn depends on these consultants who have personally experienced the war in addition to the actors. Shen Zhenghui's modesty won the chairman's favor, and he expressed his hope to see more and better works of Shen Zhenghui - no matter what kind of works.

Such a statement reassured Shen Zhenghui, and it could be regarded as a big gift package, at least for a few years, as long as he didn't die by himself. I don't think there will be any major obstacles.

The Chairman said in a special way. "From this movie, we have to see that the growth of this character is always in contact with the surrounding environment, and in this historical context, his own fate is subordinated to this background. But it is up to him to decide how high he can reach in this context. The chairman paused. Go on. "We are also in the context of our own history, what we need to be able to accomplish, what heights we need to reach. Whether we are worthy of our historical status or not also depends on our own efforts. ”

Shen Zhenghui read a trace of exhaustion in his heart from the chairman's expression-rich face, it can be said that in the past few years, the country has been in a low ebb period of internal and external development, domestic problems have continued, foreign forces are pressing step by step, and it is very stressful to maintain the whole situation. However, Shen Zhenghui can only say in his heart that this situation is temporary, and when it comes to September, Uncle Lantern's shocking collision will be China's strategic opportunity period for more than ten years. In the end, George W. Bush will prove that he will be worthy of the title of an old friend of the Chinese people and carry forward their family traditions.

But none of that can be said.

After the talks, Shen Zhenghui and his entourage were sent out of Zhongnanhai, and Shen Zhenghui was sent to a secretary of the No. 1 office, Shen Zhenghui had never known this gentleman, but this Mr. Jia was very polite, and after personally sending Shen Zhenghui to the car, he also deliberately left a business card for Shen Zhenghui, saying that he could contact him directly if there was anything. This made Shen Zhenghui a little flattered, this is the person next to the No. 1 chief, although the nominal role of this business card with only a name and a phone number is far greater than the actual effect, but this kind of Cheng dù's treatment still makes Shen Zhenghui feel surprised and excited.

Wang Anping was much more indifferent, listened to Shen Zhenghui's relay, and said lightly, "Even if it is an additional communication channel, it is nothing." "It's really worthy of three generations of a confident family.

Wang Anping didn't look for Shen Zhenghui completely to ask what he said when he met with No. 1, this time he was filming in the Northeast, when Shen Zhenghui spent some money on the land in the Northeast, Wang Anping also inspected the Northeast.

Since the reform and opening up, the Northeast has gradually lost its role as a heavy industry production base, and its status has been declining, because of the reform of state-owned enterprises, a large number of workers have been unemployed and laid off, the proportion of GDP in the country has been declining, the economy has not developed, and social order has gradually deteriorated, and the unemployed and idle people have begun to be exported to the whole country. However, to be fair and objective, the foundation of the Northeast region is still quite good, and the situation will gradually improve when the state begins to re-attach importance to this area and put forward the slogan of revitalizing the old industrial base and provide relevant policies.

Therefore, while others see the backwardness and stagnation of economic development in Northeast China, Wang Anping sees opportunities and development.

"I think agriculture is a good way to go." Shen Zhenghui said.

"Agriculture?" Wang Anping was a little puzzled, "I thought I should take this opportunity to hoard real estate in several important cities!" ”

It's too hateful to do this, well, even if everyone doesn't have such an eye to see this being preemptively laid out by you, but do you really think there is no problem with the amount of funds for real estate development?

"Investing in agriculture seems to cost more money, right? The results are still slow. ”

This is not seeing your own advantages, think about it, don't you have a logistics company?

Wang Anping thought thoughtfully, "But agriculture seems to be relatively thin. ”

It depends on what kind of agriculture it is, and all kinds of Northeast specialties don't need to be marketed at all, but the problem of logistics is actually to be considered, and the vegetable basket project around 2000 is far from over. What's more, you don't just have to see the domestic market. What is more important is the foreign market.

"Japan?" Wang Anping's eyes lit up, "Do you have a way?" ”

There is indeed a way. And at this time to enter the Northeast layout of the Northeast market can be said to seize the opportunity, the social turmoil in the Northeast is very obvious, the local government is also a headache for this, large-scale intensive agricultural production needs is the abundant capital and a high level of labor, at this time to enter can be said to help the local government to solve the huge trouble, they will definitely give the most preferential conditions, at the same time at this time to enter the least resistance. Wang Anping's existing logistics company and Ahri's platform can be said to be the best help, and soon, in order to revitalize the old industrial base. The abolition of agricultural taxes will be piloted in the Tohoku region.

What's more. Shen Zhenghui knew that Wang Anping was not looking for a channel for investment for herself, if she spent her energy on her real estate career and had endless things, Wang Anping could be regarded as the spokesperson of several forces in finding investment points. The biggest force behind this force is clearly from the military.

"It's a good idea." Wang Anping nodded. "I'll find someone to look at it and make a plan." She looked at Shen Zhenghui, "It just so happens that you go back to Japan to pave the way." ”

Shen Zhenghui licked his lips.

Wang Anping continued. "Now you give me the feeling that you are no longer a Chinese, you have become a Japanese, this feeling, how to say how strange."

"Nonsense, I've always been Chinese." Shen Zhenghui hurriedly identified himself.

"Well," Wang Anping stared at Shen Zhenghui for a long time, "That Japanese partner of yours hasn't shown up for a long time, and the news outside is that she may have secretly married and is preparing to be a professional woman, do you have any news here?" ”

"Huh?" Caught off guard, Shen Zhenghui had to hide his mood with surprise.

"Don't you know? Such news is circulating in the Japanese business community, after all, in addition to the Kasuga Pictures, there are a lot of industries that she controls, and the companies that have a cooperative relationship with her are very concerned about this, you don't know. ”

"She herself is indeed unwell and recuperating, but there is no such thing as a secret marriage." Shen Zhenghui's efforts were very natural, "It should come out in a while, you must know that for a while, I was busy with spring things, and I finally found time to return to China." ”

Wang Anping casually swept her gaze on Shen Zhenghui's face, "Well, I have time to introduce us to meet, I admire her very much, let's deepen the cooperative relationship!" Wang Anping's smile seemed to be very meaningful, "I haven't had much contact with her yet." ”

"Haha, there's going to be a chance." Shen Zhenghui snorted a haha.

"She's not married to you, is she?" Wang Anping suddenly asked as if he was joking.

"Me? How can it be? I'm still single. Shen Zhenghui felt that his back was cold.

"It's not the best," Wang Anping shrugged her shoulders, "but remember, even if you marry a Japanese woman, don't change your nationality, everyone still has great expectations for you." ”

"How could I do something to change my nationality? You're overthinking. Shen Zhenghui said sternly, "I still want to make a fortune by relying on my identity as a Chinese!" ”

"I remember when you said you wanted to help China rise." Wang Anping rolled her eyes.

"I was too young at that time," Shen Zhenghui immediately responded, "Besides, who said that there is a contradiction between the rise of China and making a fortune yourself?" For example, the more resources we have, the better we can serve the country! ”

"Slippery head!" Wang Anping spat a mouthful, "You'd better go back to Pengcheng as soon as possible, the greetings are all done, and you will be co-opted as a representative of the Municipal People's Congress and the provincial representative soon, and you will be the representative of the whole country at the next two sessions, which can be regarded as a layer of skin." ”

When it came to this topic, Shen Zhenghui felt a little more relaxed.

"Is this a reward?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"Yes, breaking the record of "Titanic", although it is two films together, the next time you make a film that breaks this record, maybe the reward will be higher."

"I've also got the role of a vase at the top, what level of rewards can I have?" Shen Zhenghui was a little curious.

"Member of the Standing Committee of the Youth Association and Vice Chairman of the Music Association. Standing Committee members of the National People's Congress and so on," Wang Anping pouted, "You don't know much about the role of vases. ”

Shen Zhenghui swallowed hard, "Because I'm not a vase." ”

"Well, looking forward to your next work." Wang Anping said.

"Forget it, my mind is empty after filming "Assembly", you better let me rest for a while." Shen Zhenghui let out a long breath.

Shen Zhenghui is indeed a little hesitant about the next plan, his next choice is actually too many, the sequel to "Black Fist", the blockbuster of classical martial arts does not want to be said to be the follow-up of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but there is no need to shoot, "Bright Sword" is about to be released, and anti-Japanese films will set off a boom, so do you want to take advantage of this boom to shoot a few TV series that have established your status? For a moment, Shen Zhenghui hesitated.

Although he had expected his success, he did not expect this success to come back so quickly and so highly, and even made him feel a little frightened. The success of the political zhì made him extremely worried, although the screening of this film at this moment was the result of careful planning, but when he really won the jackpot, he was a little at a loss at this moment, and his previous plans were a little uncertain. He was a little worried that after Director Zhang became a god in 2008, he smashed his signboard one after another, I don't know if it was because of his unbalanced mentality, in this regard, Shen Zhenghui felt that he also needed time to calm down.
