It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

"It's an honor to receive this award. There are many people I need to thank, including my motherland, family, friends, teachers, and many partners..."

Holding the Oscar's Best Original Screenplay trophy in his hand, Chen Fei spoke very calmly on the awards stage.

After guessing the reason for receiving this award, he knew that it was just a gift "given" to him by others, rather than an award that he truly won with his own strength.

Of course, there is definitely still some happiness, but what fills my heart more is a fulfilling sense of accomplishment.

In order to get acquainted with him, six of the eight major film companies in Hollywood actually worked quietly behind the scenes to support him in winning the Best Original Screenplay Award.

This sense of accomplishment even makes him more satisfied than winning the prize!

Those top producers who were supposed to be above him, in order to curry favor with him, even went out of their way to support him personally. This feeling was so great!

It is said that the Oscars are a resource trading and vanity fair for major Hollywood film companies, and now it seems that it is indeed true.

As Party A, who controls countless resources, even if Chen Fei is a Chinese who is looked down upon by many foreigners, for the sake of profit, those people still have to find ways to get to know him, even flatter him, and even please him.

This may also be a different kind of "power"!

When you have enough resources, even strangers you have never met will silently support you behind the scenes for the resources, just to get a piece of the pie.

After saying his acceptance speech and looking at the enthusiastic smiles in the audience, Chen Fei suddenly had the idea of ​​"I can straighten my back and walk on"!

And that's exactly what he did.

…

Accompanied by warm applause, Chen Fei returned to his seat holding the trophy.

But at this moment, he was thinking about something else.

"Is Lao Zhao watching the live broadcast at this time? If I take this trophy back to school, will Nortel give it to me?"

Just as he was thinking about it, the host on stage had already begun to announce the remaining awards.

Li Jian is still awesome. The Oscar did not let him go in vain, but awarded him the Best Director award.

"'Brokeback Mountain' is really awesome!"

Jason sighed with emotion on the side.

This is Li Bian's first Oscar for Best Director in Hollywood, and he is also the first Chinese to win an Oscar for Best Director.

Prior to this, he had received three consecutive Oscar nominations for Best Director.

This award is well-deserved!

Accompanied by warm applause from the audience, Li stood up, hugged the producer next to him, and then walked onto the podium.

"Jack, you just said that I was quiet and humble when filming "Brokeback Mountain". That was not because of my wisdom, but because I was tired. When I directed that film, I was basically half asleep and half awake..."

His speech was very interesting, and his unique American humor made everyone in the audience laugh.

What Chen Fei didn't expect was that Li Bian's subsequent words shocked him greatly!

"I am very proud to be Chinese. I love my motherland. I hope that through my efforts, the whole world can see the abilities of the Chinese..."

This speech may seem ordinary to outsiders. After all, patriotism is the unwavering belief of the vast majority of people.

But when Chen Fei heard these words, he felt deafening!

I am not fighting alone in Hollywood. There are many comrades here who are also working hard to promote Chinese culture. These people may have more or less minor problems, but their beliefs are unquestionable!

Long live the People's Republic of China!

…

After the award ceremony, all the actors, directors, screenwriters, and producers did not leave, but used the party to start socializing.

The annual Oscars ceremony should be regarded as the biggest party in Hollywood.

Well-known actors and directors from all over the world gather here to get to know each other and agree on future cooperation.

Chen Fei brought a lot of business cards with him before he came, but not long after the party started, he had already used up all the business cards he had on him.

The producers who were paying attention to him just now came over to say hello, exchanged contact information with him, and agreed that if there is a suitable script in the future, they must achieve win-win cooperation.

There are many female stars who have come together, including Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Jessica Alba, Rachel Weisz, Keira Knightley...

After exchanging contact information with each other, the group of Yingying Yanyan finally dispersed.

Chen Fei didn't know when there was a lip mark on his face, but Xiao Lizi reminded him when he came to greet him, and he reacted belatedly.

"thanks for your reminder."

Chen Fei stretched out his hand to wipe the lip marks on his cheeks and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The female celebrities here are so enthusiastic. They just met her and she started talking to her in public!

There were a lot of people just now, and he vaguely noticed that someone touched his abdominal muscles, but there were too many people, and he couldn't see clearly who it was.

Leonardo smiled brightly and handed a business card to Chen Fei, "Fei, if you find a suitable role in the future, remember to contact me!"

"good."

Chen Fei nodded solemnly, and just as he was about to pay for his fame, he found that his pockets were already empty.

"Sorry, I don't have my business card..."

"It's okay, just keep mine."

After chatting for a while, DiCaprio walked towards Spielberg and Nolan.

He is now very popular, but he urgently needs an Oscar for Best Actor to prove his acting skills.

Unfortunately, there are not many people who can help him achieve this goal.

"Director Chen, can I interview you?"

The reporter from the Sixth Princess squeezed through the crowd, her face full of excitement.

The harvest tonight is so great!

Chen Fei won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and Li Yi won the Oscar for Best Director.

If these two pieces of news are spread back to China, they will definitely cause an uproar!

"sure."

Chen Fei responded with a smile, followed the reporter to an empty seat aside, and began to be interviewed.

…

Due to the time difference and broadcast interval, although the Oscar ceremony has ended, the domestic broadcast has just reached the moment when the nominations for the Best Original Screenplay Award are announced.

When Chen Fei's figure appeared on the screen, there was a commotion in the box.

"Oscar nomination! Director Chen is so awesome!"

Yang Mi's face was filled with envy and she wished she could get into the screen and sit next to Chen Fei instead of Amanda.

This is the top award in the world. Even if you don't win, even if you are just nominated, it is enough to prove your strength.

Zhang Bearded said with a smile: "Haha, Chen Fei is still a little nervous."

"Everyone in this scene must be nervous!"

Huang Xiaoming is also full of envy. He has just been nominated for the Hong Kong Film Festival Award, and he can't suppress his inner joy.

If he had been asked to sit at the Oscars ceremony, he doubted that he would have jumped up with excitement on the spot.

"I don't know if I can win the prize?" Chen Zihan asked curiously.

"It's probably hopeless." Zhang Jizhong shook his head and explained: "Oscars are quite xenophobic. This is Li Yi's third nomination, but he was rejected the first two times.

And Chen Feicai is only nominated for the first time. Coupled with his Chinese identity, I think there is no hope. "

Liu Yifei opened her mouth and was about to retort, but when the words came to her lips she didn't know what to say.

To be honest, she didn't think Chen Fei could win the award.

That's the Academy Awards, not the domestic Hong Kong Film Awards. The gap between the two is simply a world away!

There are many people paying attention to this broadcast, but at this time, what everyone is excited about is that Chen Fei has the opportunity to be nominated.

As for winning the prize…

How is this possible? How old is he?

That's an Oscar!

However, with everyone paying attention, the host began to announce the names and works of the winners.

"The winner of the Best Original Screenplay Award at the 78th Academy Awards is Fei Chen's "Get Out." Let us congratulate this director from China."

FeiChen?

"Who is FeiChen?"

Chen Zihan didn't respond and asked stupidly.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yifei, who was two seats away from her, jumped up from her chair and stared at the screen in disbelief!

"It's Chen Fei! He won the award! It's the Oscar for Original Screenplay!"

"What the hell???"

Huang Xiaoming immediately cursed and his eyes widened.

"Ah?! I actually won the prize!"

Yang Mi clutched her chest tightly, feeling her breathing quicken for no reason. She wanted to scream, but her body was beyond her control.

Watching the green-faced boy on the TV screen walk up to the podium and talk about the process of script creation and film shooting, the entire box was silent except for the sound of heavy breathing one after another.

Zhang Jizhong's face turned red.

He never expected that just now he had vowed that he would never win the prize, but in the blink of an eye, he would already be on the podium.

This slap in the face!

Fast and painful!

…

It was night on the Hollywood side, but it was morning on the Chinese side.

On the Nortel campus, at the moment when the awards were announced, a loud roar suddenly came from the office in the teaching building of the Performance Department, and then a figure rushed out of the door and went straight to the logistics office!

"Teacher Zhao? Why are you going?"

Zhang Lu, who was holding the application form for suspension of study and preparing to apply for admission to school to resume his studies, looked at Zhao Zhenyang running away in shock, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

What's wrong with this guy? There was a fire at home? Why are you in such a hurry?

However, the next second, he heard Zhao Zhenyang's loud laughter echoing in the corridor, "Hahahahahaha, Chen Fei won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. I have to find Lao Li first. Put up the banner.”

As soon as these words came out, many teachers in the corridor suddenly widened their eyes, their faces full of astonishment.

Not everyone was paying attention to this award ceremony. Now when they suddenly heard Zhao Zhenyang's words, they suddenly realized that they seemed to have missed some exciting moments!

All the teachers returned to the office in unison and began to check the news about the Oscar Awards Ceremony.

At the door of the office, Zhang Lu's expression was gloomy and his fists were clenched tightly.

Ever since he "betrayed" Chen Fei in front of reporters, he has been under control in the school. In addition, Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin kept stumbling upon him, which directly led to him being completely isolated from his Grade 02 classmates.

As a last resort, he had to excuse himself from school by pretending to be ill.

Now that Grade 02 will graduate in three months, he still wants to come back and repeat his studies, and first get his diploma.

But I never expected that when I arrived at school, I heard the news that Chen Fei had won an Oscar.

As the old saying goes, people are more annoying than others!

Zhang Lu feels deeply about this sentence now. He is also a 02-level acting student, and he is now the boss of a film company, and even went to Hollywood!

But what about himself?

Although it's better than those who played part-time roles, he even signed a contract for a new picture through his family connections.

But he can only be regarded as a low-level person in the company. Even in Zhang Yimou's new movie "The Golden Armor", he can only play a supporting role with only two lines.

"well!"

He let out a long sigh, feeling regret in his heart.

At first, he, Chen Fei, Zhu Yawen, and Luo Jin lived in the same dormitory. They got along fairly well at first, but as the gap grew larger, he unconsciously felt dissatisfied.

After parting ways with the three of them, he watched them quickly become famous, but he could only stay where he was...

However, it is useless to regret now. After all, there is no regret medicine in this world!

…

That afternoon, news about Oscar spread in China.

Li Jian became the first Chinese director from China to win the Oscar for Best Director.

And Chen Fei successfully won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay at the age of 22!

When these two pieces of news came out, they immediately set off a heated discussion in the country, and a group of people in the film and television industry turned their eyes red with envy.

Countless calls, text messages, and emails rained down on Hollywood.

The Internet is even more applauded!

"That's awesome. You're 22 years old, and you've got an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Why don't you just take off right there?"

"From the moment he debuted, I thought this guy was good!"

"That's awesome. Listen to his acceptance speech. The first thing he said was to thank the motherland."

"To enter Hollywood as a screenwriter and win the grand prize while being surrounded by a pack of wolves, this ability is simply awesome!"

"He is the pride of us Jin people!"

"..."

The reviews on the Internet were very good, and Han Sanping called me and said nonchalantly,

"Hey? You kid? Didn't you just go and broaden your horizons? Why did you win the prize?"

"It's a long story."

Chen Fei smiled and didn't explain much. Instead, he asked about the box office situation of "Ip Man".

Han Sanping: "Thanks to you, the box office on the first day in the mainland was 15 million and in Hong Kong it was 1.2 million. The attendance rate is very high and the audience's evaluation is also very high. It is another work that has achieved both good reputation and box office success."

"That's good. After I go back in a while, we can start preparing for the second part."

"When will you come back? I'll give you a welcome party?"

"Farewell now, there's no need." Chen Fei was a bit dumbfounded, "I'll probably arrive in Hong Kong on April 7th, and then I'll finish attending the Hong Kong Film Awards on the 8th and then rush back to the mainland."

“Did War for the Planet of the Apes finish filming?”

"No, it's very early, so there's no rush. Chen Long and Zhang Yimou called me and asked me to play a guest role in the movie. Let's stop here for a while."

Reciprocity is still necessary, and Chen Fei doesn't want to get a bad reputation.

"Okay, then you get busy first."

"Okay, see you at the Academy Awards ceremony."

…

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei fell into a busy period again.

The shooting progress of the motion capture equipment was not very fast. After all, some plots had to be designed while filming, but fortunately there were no big problems.

The estimated filming time is three months and will officially wrap up in May.

However, because he is going back to China in April, Chen Fei estimates that he will have to extend the shooting time to mid-May, and then he will have to do post-production and editing...

"The release date is estimated to be by the end of the year."

This was Chen Fei's reply to Natasha. The theater wanted to start arranging the publicity work in advance, so they came to ask about the filming situation of Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

"Then let "Latent" go first?"

James Wan's filming is progressing very quickly and is expected to be completed before May. Even including editing and post-production, it will be released in June at the latest.

"Well, let's arrange "Latent" first."

With that said, Chen Fei asked about Marvel again.

Natasha smiled and replied easily: "There is no problem over there. The acquisition is proceeding steadily. They still have a debt that they have not repaid. Our acquisition came just in time..."

"Okay, get it done as soon as possible. I have a notebook here waiting for you."

"Fei! You are such a genius!"

Natasha looked appreciative, her eyes filled with admiration for him.

"Haha, I know, but you must not fall in love with me because of this. Just maintain your admiration."

Chen Fei has begun to be able to use this American joke flexibly.

But at this time, Natasha gave a bad smile, and suddenly moved closer and left a lip mark on his cheek, "I think I have fallen in love with you, but a man still has to put his career first.

After your dreams and mine come true, we can try to date. "

Good guy!

Wiping the lip marks on his cheeks, Chen Fei looked slightly shocked.

He really can't stand this way of expressing love, so is this the charm brought by a man's talent?

"Jingle Bell…"

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted the somewhat weird atmosphere in the office.

Chen Fei took out his phone and took a look, his eyebrows slightly raised.

Pressing the connect button, he said in surprise: "Brother Xie? Is something wrong?"

On the other end of the phone, Donnie Yen said with a smile: "Send me a seat. I'm coming to Los Angeles and I'll treat you to dinner."

Chen Fei informed him of the location of the villa.

"Come to my place to eat. I happen to have a few friends here. It's going to be lively when there are more people."

"good."

Chen Fei originally thought that Donnie Yen flew to Los Angeles specifically to thank him and compete for the opportunity to star in "Ip Man 2".

But when the two met, Zhen Zizhen revealed another reason for his coming here.

"I want to change my nationality back. The procedures have been almost completed. The main reason for coming here this time is to cancel the information."

"Oh?" Chen Fei looked at him in surprise, "Don't you regret it?"

Nowadays, emigration is still popular in China, especially actors in the film and television industry. In order to avoid taxes, they would like to transfer the nationality of their whole family.

Donnie Yen's behavior seems a bit "deviant" at present.

"I have nothing to regret. I am originally Chinese. It is natural for me to change my nationality back. I can't make money in China as a foreigner, right?"

The main reason that prompted him to have this idea was the movie "Ip Man". In addition, the evaluation of domestic netizens was also important.

Due to her role in "Memoirs of a Geisha", even though the movie won many awards, domestic netizens still didn't think very well of Zhang Ziyi.

Even Liu Yifei was criticized.

Combining the guidance of various public opinions, coupled with his own inner yearning for China, Donnie Yen really took action.

He has already explained the change of nationality to the fans, and netizens unanimously applauded, which also made his determination stronger.

Chen Fei silently gave him a thumbs up and handed him a script.

"Um?"

Zhen Zizhen was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it in a daze and looked down.

There are two Chinese characters and a number printed on the white cover.

"Ip Man" 2!
