Because of a series of operations in Feiyue Film and Television, at the beginning of 09, the popularity of the film and television industry was directly ignited!

At this time, Chen Fei, who was the initiator, was not in the center of the whirlpool, and he had already arrived in Los Angeles by plane overnight.

He was accompanied by Ning Hao and others from the crew of "The Undertaker", who came to participate in the Oscar selection for Best Foreign Language Film.

Although he has already won the Golden Bear Award, Ning Hao is still nervous to the naked eye.

On the way to Chen Fei's villa by car, he muttered again, "Chen Fei, do you think we can get this Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film?" ”

"Won't you find out tomorrow night?"

Chen Fei didn't give him a too positive answer, although he had already arranged for someone to do public relations in advance, but he couldn't say it well before the award was announced.

"Damn, it's so painful!" Ning Hao muttered quietly, his hands clenched tightly.

When he participated in those award ceremonies in the mainland before, he had never been so nervous, after all, those awards could be won sooner or later.

But similar to the Golden Bear, Oscar and other awards, it is different, some people can only get one in their lifetime, and even more busy for decades, but in the end it is still empty.

This should be the closest time he is to Oscar in his life, so he can't help but be nervous!

～

The car slowly drove into Beverly Hills.

Looking at the luxurious manor with a swimming pool, underground garage, and garden in front of them, everyone couldn't help but feel envious again, and their faces were full of amazement.

"The area on the second floor is full of guest rooms, you can choose a room casually, settle your luggage by yourself, I still have something to do, I have to go out."

Chen Fei said as he looked at Liu Yifei, "You take them to familiarize yourself with the environment." ”

"Okay."

Liu Yifei nodded lightly and went straight down.

She also lived in Chen Fei's manor for a while when she ran various trips here in Hollywood, so she was familiar with the environment here.

However, the casual conversation between the two made the faces of the others change slightly, and the speculation in their hearts was verified at this moment.

Isn't this the atmosphere of the male and female hosts of the house?

This is where the misunderstanding begins......

～

After leaving Beverly Hills, Chen Fei drove to the company and met Natasha, who was busy.

"Fei, you can be regarded as back, I'm almost annoyed by that group of reporters during this time!"

As soon as she saw Chen Fei, Natasha immediately began to pour bitter water.

During this time, Walton Pictures can be described as shining in Hollywood!

The three-year period has arrived, and DreamWorks has officially separated from Paramount.

While many in Hollywood were secretly speculating about who the independent film division would turn to, Steven Spielberg, the current CEO of DreamWorks, came out and announced that he would start a deeper cooperation with Walton Pictures next.

As soon as the news came out, it directly stirred up a thousand waves!

DreamWorks was founded in October 1994 by Steven Spielberg (representing the "S" in DreamWorks SKG), Jeffrey Katzenberg (representing the "K" in DreamWorks SKG) and David Geffen (representing the "G" in DreamWorks SKG).

The Company's products include movies, cartoons, television shows, home video entertainment, records, books, toys and consumer products.

In the beginning, the three founders of DreamWorks had the ambition to make it a new Hollywood highlight.

But in December 2005, the three founders decided to sell it to Viacom, and DreamWorks came under the umbrella of Paramount Pictures, Viacom's parent company, in a deal that closed in 2006.

And in 2009, the deadline for the partnership was up, and the independent DreamWorks film division officially left Paramount Pictures.

For a while, a number of film companies, including Disney, were approaching the DreamWorks film department and wanted to take it under their command.

The reason is simple, there are so many excellent works under the DreamWorks Film Division!

"Shrek", "Tuxedo", "Escape from Clone Island", "Munich Massacre", "War of the Worlds" ......

In addition to the above classic works, the "Transformers" series currently promoted by the DreamWorks film department has been spied on by many film companies!

Disney, in particular, has been coveting Transformers merchandise for too long!

If they can work with DreamWorks Films, they have absolute confidence that they will be able to sell the merchandise of this series to the world!

However, this lucrative dream was directly shattered by the news jointly released by Steven Spielberg and Walton Pictures.

According to the information announced by the two companies, starting in March 2009, Volton Pictures will handle the distribution and marketing of DreamWorks films.

Among them, Volton Pictures will receive an 8% distribution commission on the profits of six films, including "Transformers 2"!

In addition, Volton Pictures will also have the rights to distribute DreamWorks films in audiovisual products and television screenings in all regions except India.

The agreement also stipulates that Walton Pictures will advance $350 million to cash-strapped DreamWorks to keep DreamWorks' production plans on track for the coming year, including the highly anticipated Transformers 2!

All kinds of news spread in Hollywood, shocking the jaws of countless film companies!

“Why？ Why？ Why？ ”

In the Disney film industry, CEO Dick Cook said why three times, his face was full of doubts and puzzles.

They had already approached DreamWorks this time last year, and it was David Guffin, one of the Big Three of DreamWorks, who negotiated a cooperation agreement with them.

However, at that time, Spielberg was unable to cooperate with Disney because of his personal feelings for his old club, Universal Pictures.

This year, DreamWorks Film officially broke away from Paramount.

In order to be able to bring it under its command, Disney even formed a negotiation team to negotiate the cooperation.

But I never expected that before their negotiation team officially connected with it, Volton Pictures had already succeeded.

"Isn't Spielberg more inclined to work with Universal Pictures? Why did you find Walton Pictures? ”

John Lasseter, CEO of Disney's Pixar Animation Company, was in Dick Cook's office at the moment, and the two looked at each other, and the doubts on their faces could not be resolved.

Doesn't make sense? Spielberg had always had a soft spot for Universal Pictures before, why did he suddenly decide to "remarry"?

Dick Cook frowned, "I do know some insiders, due to the impact of the financial turmoil, there are a lot of problems within Universal Pictures, so I can't contact DreamWorks at this time." ”

This is actually the reason why Disney will set up a negotiation team, after all, in addition to Universal Pictures, Disney is currently the best partner of DreamWorks!

But they never thought that someone would come to a wave of "junior superiors".

That's right, in Dick Cook's view, Disney is the best "original match" in the DreamWorks film department at present, and Walton Pictures is a shameless "little three".

But what they don't know is that Chen Fei is currently the second shareholder of DreamWorks!

To be more specific, his shareholder status actually includes the entire DreamWorks, including the "DreamWorks Film Division" and the "DreamWorks Animation Division".

Now the "DreamWorks Film Division" has reached a cooperation with Walton Pictures, and the other animation department is still owned by Paramount, and the two are now their own masters.

"With DreamWorks joining, Walton Pictures is one step closer to becoming Hollywood's new Big Seven."

Dick Cook muttered to himself, and his mind suddenly thought about the current business landscape of Walton Pictures.

In addition to its headquarters, the company already has a number of subsidiaries including Marvel Studios, DreamWorks, and even more in other countries.

Especially in India, I heard that I have invested in a film called "Three Fools in Bollywood".

It is strange that the economic crisis in the United States does not seem to have any impact on them, but has made them overtake in the corner, and the company's development has even entered the fast lane!

"Strange? How weird is that? ”

Dick Cook frowned, suddenly a little unable to understand the trajectory of Walton Pictures.

Does this company really want to be promoted to No. 1 in Hollywood's new Big Seven?

There are many people who have the same doubts as him, but if you are ranked, the first person must be the CEO of the DreamWorks animation division and Spielberg's old partner Katzenberg!

At this point, Katzenberg was looking at the news in the newspaper and was about to scratch his head.

But even so, he still couldn't figure out why.

He thought that after the film department left Paramount, he would either cooperate with Universal Pictures or Disney, but he never expected to choose the rising star of Walton Pictures.

It's embarrassing to step on a horse!

With "Wall-E the Robot" and "Kung Fu Panda," Walton Pictures has beaten out DreamWorks and Disney for two consecutive years, snatching animation awards including the Golden Globe and Annie Awards.

And according to the current situation, if nothing else, this year's Oscar Animation Award will also fall into the hands of "Kung Fu Panda"!

Now that DreamWorks Films has partnered with Walton Pictures, Spielberg and Chen Fei have forged a good relationship.

These two people are both top commercial film directors, and they are also the top cattle in Class A commercial films.

In Huaxia dialect, the two sides joining forces is a combination of two swords, and it is very likely that they will be invincible in the world directly!

"No, we have to keep putting out more animations, or DreamWorks Animation will be in a bad situation!"

Katzenberg's brows furrowed, and he secretly decided that he had to release more animated films, and strive to beat Disney and Walton Pictures next year and come out on top!

However, what he didn't know was that at this moment, in his rival company, a steady stream of plans were being put forward by Chen Fei.

"DreamWorks' biggest problem at the moment is the lack of money, and we have to support it very much, especially the Transformers series, and we must control its quality."

"Okay, no problem." Natasha nodded, full of confidence.

Chen Fei continued: "The film plan to be launched later will also be carried out gradually, I will go to Spielberg to talk about this point in person, the script has been prepared, and you will be responsible for the negotiation at that time." ”

“OK！”

"Also, the contact work on Lucasfilm's side can also be carried out gradually, your father and I have basically completed the acquisition of the shares in the hands of other shareholders in the company, and the two of us have become the largest shareholders of this company."

"So fast?"

Natasha was slightly stunned, she vaguely remembered that it seemed that the acquisition work only started last year? Got it done in less than a year?

"The financial crisis has helped us a lot."

Chen Fei showed a faint smile on his face, the financial crisis in 08 caused many people's hard work to be wasted, but he made a lot of money because of it.

The acquisition went well, and in order to recoup the funds, many minority shareholders of Lucasfilm chose to sell their shares.

came and went, what Chen Fei ate was called a support!

But at this time, Natasha suddenly made a new suggestion, "Fei, have you ever thought about making our company public?" ”

Listed?

Chen Fei was slightly stunned, he hadn't thought about it so much.

Listing is mainly an insurance for film companies, which can increase their resistance to risks, so many film companies will choose to go public after they become bigger and stronger.

For example, the Hollywood Seven, and even independent film companies such as Lionsgate, are now listed companies.

"What do you think?"

Chen Fei asked rhetorically, since Natasha proposed this idea, I think she should have done some understanding.

"My family's evaluation team told me that now is the best time for Walton Pictures to go public, our publicity and distribution channels have been initially formed, and the benefits are good, and we can maximize the benefits after the listing, and we can quickly accumulate enough funds......"

Natasha said a lot, and Chen Fei listened silently, thinking about the stakes.

In the end, he pondered for a long time and directly clapped: "Then go on!" ”

……

……

Chen Fei doesn't need to do the preparation before the listing, and the key is that he doesn't know much about it, so he can leave it to Natasha to be responsible.

Next up is his mission - Oscar!

Although it is the off-season of movies at this time, under the operation of many parties, the popularity of "Slumdog Millionaire" has not diminished at all, and the North American box office has reached 145 million US dollars.

Since then, those who ridiculed Chen Fei on the Internet in the early stage have been slapped in the face!

Not to mention the box office situation in other regions, just in North America, the box office revenue is enough to cover the cost of investment.

As a literary film, this movie is definitely profitable, and it is not an ordinary small profit.

If he can win something at the next Oscars, this wave, Chen Fei will definitely make a lot of money!

On the evening of the 22nd, Chen Fei led the starring team and behind-the-scenes personnel of the three crews of "Slumdog Millionaire", "The Undertaker" and "Kung Fu Panda" on the red carpet of the Oscars.

Tonight, everyone is dressed up!

On Chen Fei's left hand side is Liu Yifei in a haute couture dress, while on his right hand side is the sexy and glamorous Indian actress Deepika Padukoni.

The distance between the two women and him was very close, almost walking forward together.

The return rate of handsome men and beautiful women is always surprisingly high, not to mention that this is still the red carpet of the Oscars, and it is a favorable contender for the recent hot Berlin actor and Oscar statuette!

For a while, the flashing lights on both sides of the red carpet directly illuminated the scene.

The only pity is that because of the financial crisis, this year's Oscars are a little shabby, many events in previous years have been canceled, and many of the equipment on site also looks a little old.

But that's not the point, it's the point of who the little golden man will spend tonight!

At the same time, when Chen Fei led the rest of the crew on the red carpet, the mainland also saw the red carpet ceremony of the Oscars.

Because of the latest iteration of technology, signal transmission has become much easier, so the interval between the broadcast images of movie channels has also been shortened to less than half a minute.

Many people in the film and television industry have put down their work during this time period, chose to turn on the TV, and watched the Oscar ceremony.

Tonight is likely to be Chen Fei's moment of becoming a god, this is a historic scene worthy of attention!

"Wow! Handsome men and beautiful women! ”

In the TV, Sa Bei, one of the hosts, couldn't help but let out an exclamation when he saw Chen Fei and the two girls walking on the red carpet.

Although he is a poor mouthful, he also knows what to say and what not to say.

For example, the four words "a perfect match" behind the handsome man and beautiful woman, he didn't dare to say it on the TV.

The movie's ratings are skyrocketing, which means that more and more people are paying attention to the awards ceremony, most of them are insiders, and you have to be careful in front of these people!

Of course, some appropriate jokes can still be made.

"Director Chen's charm is really great, the two heroines can follow him, and there are some big men behind him, and their eyes are more resentful than the other..."

Jing Wei: "......"

Seeing his partner and current boyfriend biting and barking like a wild dog on the loose, Jing Wei, the host of the movie channel, hurriedly pulled back, "I don't know if I can win the award this time." ”

"I think it's okay, don't look at Director Chen's age, but this professional level is absolutely good!"

The two teased back and forth, and at the same time did not forget to introduce the guests who participated in the awards tonight to the audience in front of the TV.

At this time, in the auditoriums of the three art colleges of Nortel, China Opera and Shanghai Opera, all students were required to watch today's award ceremony.

Especially here at Nortel, all the teachers in the performance department are all in attendance!

The Berlin Best Actor Trophy is now in the school's exhibition room, and many people visit it every day.

Among them, Zhao Zhenyang is the most diligent runner, wiping with a towel at least five times a day, the baby is amazing!

This is the embodiment of his teaching achievements!

The Silver Bear Award for Best Actor in Berlin - this is the answer Chen Fei gave him, and he was so satisfied that he smiled like a flower all day long.

And behind Zhao Zhenyang, Jing Tian was holding a snack bucket, staring at the screen with his eyes full, his face full of yearning.

"If only I were standing next to him." She couldn't help but fantasize in her heart, and the deep envy gradually appeared in her eyes.

She thinks that her appearance and temperament are not inferior to Liu Yifei, but I don't know why, Chen Fei has always only taken Liu Yifei with her, but he hardly paid much attention to her.

This distressed her.

Although her recent filming of "The Biography of Sun Tzu" is very good, she just feels that this drama can't even compare to one of Chen Fei's toes.

If Chen Fei was willing to take her, she would definitely not be so nameless now!

But fortunately, the resources behind her are abundant enough, and Lu Zheng has already promised her, and she will work hard to win the role of a heroine in those movies and TV series produced by Feiyue Film and Television!

Jing Tian prefers the movie "Heart Flower Road", but Lu Zheng feels that "A Chinese Ghost Story" is more suitable for her.

But it's too early to say anything, after all, the official casting hasn't started yet, and the director will still be in Hollywood, and I don't know when he will come back.

"Borrow it."

In a trance, a voice sounded in her ears.

Jing Tian subconsciously glanced at the big screen, only to see that the picture had been switched to the infield at this time, and Chen Fei and the rest of the crew were already sitting in their positions.

When she retracted her attention, she saw a girl standing on her left hand side with a gloomy face, looking at her with a slight annoyance.

"You're not going to go that way? Do you have to go here? Didn't see so many people? ”

Jing Tian replied, without the slightest intention of getting out of the way, her personality is still a little straightforward, and people who don't like it will hardly give each other a good face.

Especially the person in front of her has a very bad temper and has bullied her roommate, she hates this person in her heart anyway.

"You ......"

Zheng Yan was annoyed for a while, but he was helpless.

Jing Tian didn't let her, she couldn't force her through, there were school leaders and teachers not far in front, and it wouldn't be good if the movement was too big.

But at this moment, a boy in front of her helped her out.

"Senior Sister Zheng, you can go from me, I am more spacious here."

Well?

Zheng Yan subconsciously turned her head and saw a boy waving at her gently.

"Thank you, senior." Her expression changed quickly, from anger to joy in an instant, and a delicate and sweet smile appeared on her face.

This is her usual method of dealing with men, and it is the kind that has been tried and tested.

She knows this senior, the other party seems to be called Zhai Tianlin, who is from the same club as herself, and is a senior of level 06.

Glancing at Jing Tian with a little provocation, she snorted lightly, and Shi Shiran walked to the front row.

Seeing this, Jing Tian pursed his lips, very disdainful.

"Scheming!"

She whispered a whisper and set her eyes on the big screen.

The awards ceremony is about to begin!

She suddenly became a little nervous, tonight, can he get the little golden man?

At the same time, Yang Mi, who was in Hengdian, and Zhang Jingchu, who had already won the role, turned on the TV at the same time and watched the award ceremony.

On the Xiangjiang side, Wu Yu, who had a gambling contract with Han Sanping, also turned on the TV.

"Don't win a prize! Don't win a prize......"

He prayed in his mouth, saying bad things about Chen Fei.

The reason is very simple, if Chen Fei can win the award, he will have to donate all the directorial fees he earned from "Red Cliff"!

This is not a small amount of money, he is unwilling to do charity in his heart.
