Chapter 427 Welcome Director Zhang to join
On the 26th, the annual Oscar awards ceremony came to an end.

The movie "The Artist" became the biggest winner.

It directly won the three major awards of Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.

For a time, Weinstein Company was the talk of the town in Hollywood.

Harvey also became the object of pursuit and flattery by many celebrities, artists and filmmakers.

Even Song Ge couldn't help but sigh a few times after learning the result.

In addition, the Iranian film "Nader and Westminster: A Separation" successfully won the Best Foreign Language Film Award.

"The Flowers of War", which has already been withdrawn from theaters, has been brought out again by netizens to criticize it.

Netizens who mocked Zhang Yimou also started to criticize him again.

Zhang Weiping did not respond to this.

However, after reading the comments online, Gu Wei couldn't help but want to post a few words on Weibo when he was chatting with Zhang Yimou on the phone, but was stopped by the other party.

"If you don't win the award, there's no point in saying anything." Zhang Yimou said with a sigh.

"It's just an award, don't worry, brother, I'll give you a surprise when the time comes."

Gu Wei said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou just smiled and didn't think much about what the surprise was.

If The Artist is the biggest winner, then Leonardo's Hoover is the total loser.

Seeing that he missed out on the Oscar for Best Actor again, Leonardo couldn't help but complain to Gu Wei.

“God knows how much effort I put into making this film.

Those old stubborn people never cared about my feelings.

Alas, is it true that no matter what I do, I can’t win their approval? "

Leonardo's tone became bleak at the end of his speech.

"Gu, you must help me this time."

"Huh?" Gu Wei was stunned when he heard Leonardo's tone change and said this. How did he get involved?

"Gu, you know my price for starring in "Hoover". No, I can even lower it a little bit. I hope we can work together again."

Leonardo said in a serious tone, as if he had made some important decision.

"Leon, you know, I'm busy with a new movie recently. I can't go to Hollywood to film in a short time, so..."

Gu Wei chose to politely refuse, even though Leonardo offered a very low salary.

"It's okay, I can wait for you at any time. As long as you confirm the time in advance, I will cancel all my schedules." Leonardo couldn't wait to continue speaking after hearing Gu Wei's words.

Hearing this, Gu Wei smiled and shook his head. This little Leo was almost driven crazy by Oscar.

But it's no wonder. Since his first Oscar nomination in 1994, Leonardo has been with the little golden man for nearly 20 years. Although he has been nominated several times, he has never won the award in the end. It can be said that he has suffered a lot.

“Leon, you don’t have to take Oscar too seriously.

Even without that award, your performances in many movies are still timeless classics.

Like Jack in Titanic."

"Gu, you don't understand. Do you know how many years I have waited? I will not give up Oscar, no matter in the past, present or future." Leonardo said in a firm tone.

"Help me, Gu, just once."

Good man, Gu Wei underestimated Leonardo's persistence.

"Okay, let me think about it and I'll decide the time." Finally, Gu Wei relented.

“That’s great, Gu.

Believe me, as long as it is your script, I can definitely play the role well. "

Hearing this, Leonardo almost patted his chest and promised on the phone.

"Hehe, I hope you'll be ready by then."

Gu Wei suddenly wanted to see what Leonardo would look like standing in front of him after gaining weight to 200 pounds.

Although for actors, some roles require them to gain or lose weight, and you have no choice as long as you play the role, but when he thought of that scene, Gu Wei couldn't help laughing.

Even after hanging up the phone, Gu Wei's face was still full of smiles.

"What's wrong? Are you so happy about talking to Leon on the phone?" The young lady was applying a facial mask. When she went downstairs, she saw Gu Wei's appearance and couldn't help asking.

"let me tell you…"

After Gu Wei and Liu Yifei finished talking, the other party couldn't help laughing. I want to go there too and take a picture of Leon's appearance when the time comes.

"Haha." Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and laughed.

The entertainment industry is not big, but it is not small either, but disgusting things do happen frequently.

On Weibo, an anonymous netizen suddenly broke the news:
"Today, I witnessed something shocking to me on the set of "Guns and Bullets" in Hengdian. After a creative disagreement with the actress, the male lead actually hit the actress. The actress was immediately protected by the staff, and the whole crew was filled with indignation.

This male actor is so arrogant that he won't shoot if he's in a bad mood. He demands that the actors he's acting with must do what he wants, stand up when they're doing their lines, and be emotional and cry. This is too much."

Afterwards, the anonymous netizen named the male actor as Yin Xiaotian.

In an instant, the Weibo post was forwarded thousands of times and received tens of thousands of comments.

After the incident, the popularity instantly surpassed the Oscars and the casting of "The Wandering Earth".

It is spreading like wildfire on the Internet.

Before the male lead spoke, some celebrities in the circle expressed their opinions. Li Chen: "I have worked with Bian Xiaoxiao and I believe in her character. I called her yesterday and just wanted to say don't cry, girl."

Du Chun advised Yin Xiaotian: "Be a man and come out and apologize."

Wang Luodan lamented: "Personal attacks and insults are added. When the truth is revealed, you still deserve it. What's wrong with this world?"

Jia Nailiang: "I am willing to be cannon fodder for my friends."

Afterwards, Bao Jianfeng, Li Xiaolu, Xue Jianing, Huang Jue, Wen Zhang, Ma Yili and others also accepted interviews and expressed their opinions.

Each of them was righteous and kept speaking out, becoming the embodiment of fairness and justice.

On the other hand, Yin Xiaotian was single and weak. Even though he repeatedly said that he had not taken action and there was surveillance video to prove it, he was still defeated.

The next day, Yang Zi jumped out and posted a screenshot of the video on Weibo, saying that the two did have a physical conflict and urged Yin Xiaotian to apologize.

The waters immediately became muddy, the incident was full of twists and turns, and both sides held their own opinions.

Yin Xiaotian begged Yang Zi to release the complete video on Weibo, and even swore to God, but unfortunately no one ignored him.

Seeing that the matter was getting bigger and bigger, Yin Xiaotian had no choice but to call the police, but the result surprised netizens.

All the so-called eyewitness accounts turned out to be nonsense and pure slander.

Although the incident ended with Li Chen and others apologizing, for a popular male artist, this move undoubtedly ruined his star career.

Afterwards, some netizens with a nosy attitude described Li Chen and others as the "stabbing cult".

After some discussion among netizens, it was decided that the position of the leader of the Stab-in-the-Backbone Cult would go to Du Chun, the leader's wife would naturally be Bian Xiaoxiao, and the national teacher who protects the cult would be Yang Zi.

The movie "The Crossing" touched the hearts of many celebrities and artists in the circle.

The film was mainly invested by China Film Group and co-produced by Pony.com, LeTV Pictures, Huayi and other companies, with a production cost of up to 400 million yuan.

The domestic film directed by John Woo, which is said to be an epic masterpiece and no less than "Titanic", has officially been announced to the public.

For a time, in addition to "The Wandering Earth", there was another big-budget movie that attracted attention in the circle.

"Congratulations, Mr. Han. China Film Group still has a lot of money. This is really impressive."

Han Sanping didn't understand Gu Wei's teasing at all and thought he was praising him.

"Haha, The Wandering Earth and The Crossing are both key projects of China Film Group. We'll be busy now."

"There is also "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"!" Gu Wei reminded him when he saw Han Sanping's smug look.

"Hmm, I almost forgot about that."

To be honest, sometimes Gu Wei couldn't help but admire Han Sanping's investment vision, which was completely inversely proportional to his shrewd style.

At the end of February, the Hollywood Oscars had just ended.

The domestic entertainment industry stabbing incident has finally come to an end.

The popularity of Zhou Xun's successful role in "The Wandering Earth" is still being widely reported by the media.

The announcement of the project of "The Crossing" has just made headlines.

Suddenly, a reporter posted a photo online, which showed Zhang Yimou, Ni Ni and others entering the Xingchen Film and Television Company.

Just when everyone was still speculating, the official Weibo of Xingchen Film and Television Company suddenly updated the latest developments.

“We welcome Director Zhang Yimou to join Xingchen Films, and we also welcome Ni Ni, Zhou Dongyu, Dou Xiao and others to join 18 Culture. We hope that we can work together in the future!”

At the same time, Gu Wei also posted a message on Weibo, "Welcome to join us, Senior Brother!"

Liu Yifei's was "Welcome Director Zhang to join us!"

Subsequently, Song Ge, Wang Chen, Jiang Xueruo, including Ning Hao, Wu Ershan, Lu Yang, Xu Zheng, Wu Jing and others reposted the article and welcomed Zhang Yimou and others to join.

In an instant, the entire entertainment industry exploded.

All the previous news coverage was immediately overshadowed by this news.

Before this, people in the film industry were speculating where Zhang Yimou would go. Some said it would be Huayi, some guessed it would be Wanda, and some even leaked photos of LeTV CEO Jia meeting with Zhang Yimou in private.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Yimou finally chose a place that no one had guessed, Xingchen Film and Television Company.

Sina, Penguin, Southern Metropolis Daily, China Entertainment News, Sohu, all major media headlines were instantly dominated by this news.

"A powerful alliance, two of the country's top directors join forces."

"Gu Wei + Zhang Yimou, sweeping the mainland entertainment industry?"

On the Internet, various posts and analyses come one after another, making it dizzying.

But then, some individual media raised questions.

"Zhang Yimou's joining will disrupt the original balance in the industry, causing Xingchen Film and Television to dominate the industry, which is not conducive to the development of the film industry."

"Big directors banding together is also a way to monopolize resources in the industry."

Even more outrageous is that a well-known filmmaker posted on Weibo, "The academic cliques at Beijing Film Academy are a monopoly, and the behavior of Xingchen Film and Television Company is also a monopoly."

The article lists the directors currently under the Star Film and Television Company, from Wuershan, Ning Hao to Lu Yang and Xu Zheng, who are not members of the billion-yuan club, and now the big director Zhang Yimou is included.

What on earth is Gu Wei thinking? He is recruiting directors, producers and well-known filmmakers everywhere, and poaching talents from other companies. This behavior is obviously a monopoly of resources in the entertainment industry. We should resist it together!
It’s no wonder that these remarks are quite popular in the circle.

There are many filmmakers who support it.

When Gu Wei saw the post, he sneered, took out his cell phone and started editing.
