Chapter 129 Western Superstar
Chen An was still attending the banquet arranged by Oscar in the evening.

But the country was shocked. At this stage, winning an Oscar is a historic breakthrough!

Especially in the period before the Olympics, when Runren and the public intellectuals influenced by Runren, it almost detonated domestic public opinion!
'Chen An's Hollywood film "Little Miss Sunshine" which will be released in China soon has been nominated for two of three Oscars, winning Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay!'

'The first breakthrough, the first Chinese director won two Hollywood Oscars, Director Chen An made a breakthrough for the first time! '

'Chen An became the first Chinese director to win an Oscar, successfully achieving a breakthrough in the Oscar record for Chinese directors!'

'Another breakthrough! The first Chinese director to win a Hollywood Oscar is born! '

Not long after the live broadcast ended, major entertainment news newspapers began reporting on the incident almost immediately.

The application of Chinese-language films for the Olympic Games has been ongoing, but each time it is only nominated. The most promising "Farewell My Concubine" missed the biggest opportunity because Chen Kaige did not participate in public relations at all.

Although this is not a Chinese-language film, it is still a breakthrough anyway. At least the director is one of our own and he even won an award.

Yu Jinghong, who had already finished filming, was alone at home with the TV on, watching the entire broadcast. She has good English and had no difficulty watching the entire thing.

She watched Chen An enter the venue with a little girl and sit down in their seats. From the initial applause to going on stage to receive the award, she was full of energy and enthusiasm!

I felt like laughing when I saw that the other person was a little confused by the sudden intimate action of the female guest.

After he stepped down from the stage, he gave Naomi a close hug. This scene was captured by the camera, and they were so close that they were indistinguishable.

His expression became more and more interesting, which was really welcome.

As friends, Jiang Wen, Ge Daye and a few others gathered together to watch the award ceremony.

Uncle Ge smiled happily when he saw Chen An finally win the award, "I knew that Xiao Chen could win the award. He has the ability to do so."

"He's really talented. I'd like to see what kind of movie it is." Wang Shuo was a little curious about what kind of movie Chen An was shooting.

Instead, Jiang Wen, who had called everyone over, remained calm, watched TV quietly, and the cigarette in his hand burned quietly.

I don’t know what I’m thinking.

The Beijing Film Academy, which had been in a state of depression for a long time, hung a banner at the gate: "Warmly congratulate our student Chen An for winning the first Hollywood Oscar for Best Original Screenplay!"

This is a scene that the newcomers in the last two sessions have not seen, and they had only heard about it before.

Chen An has achieved many successes in recent years. He didn’t even bother to hang up the banner for the Best Directing School in Berlin last time, but this time he won the first Oscar for a Chinese director and immediately put up the banner again.

The award is not big, but it is unique after all, a breakthrough from zero to one. Originally, the school was thinking that if Chen An could win one of the three best films in the next few years, he could continue to stay in the school. Even if he can't win the three major awards, an Oscar will be fine.

It has to be brought out to let others know and show off.

The reporters were already prepared to squat at the airport and had people guarding, ready to interview Chen An when he returned.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t see anyone after waiting for a few days. It will just be a few more days at most. We can afford to wait.

Of course, if Chen An knew, he would just smile and say, "Then you wait."

The crew still needs a few days of preparation before starting filming. Several actors are ready for filming in advance. Charlize Theron has been training boxing for half a month and gained weight at the same time.

As for the remaining two leading actors, Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman also agreed to star.

Both actors are not simple. Morgan Freeman is of course a good actor, and the God in "Bruce Almighty" is the South African Nelson Mandela, who countless people would mistake for God.

As for Clint Eastwood, almost everyone has seen him but just doesn't pay much attention to him. Although he is an old man now, when he was young he was more powerful than all the current Hollywood stars combined.

The most classic cowboy look comes from him. He wears a hat, holds a cigar, is covered with a blanket, wears a jacket inside, and has a revolver on his waist. He is a super western star! Just when western movies were in decline, when everyone thought that this western star was about to disappear, he continued to transform into action movies. When he was too old to fight, he served as the mayor of the town for two years and then directly transformed into a director.

He directed and starred in "Unforgiven", which was nominated for eight Oscars and directly won four awards including Best Director and Best Picture!

After that, he produced many excellent works, including "The Bridges of Madison County" and "Mystic River".

It can be said that he is a legend, a living legend, just like he is in his western movies.

The reason why Chen An was able to find the other party to perform was because the other party was originally the director of "Million Dollar Baby", and the other party liked the script very much because Chen An did not make much changes to it.

Willing to reduce his salary to perform in the film.

"Director, to be honest, if this was not the script you wrote yourself, I really want to take it and direct it myself." Clint, the old man who refused to admit his age, said to Chen An with a solemn vow.

He really couldn't put Chen An's script down, not because he liked boxing, but because of the relationship between the male and female protagonists.

It feels like a boxer and a coach, but more like a father and a daughter.

Of course Chen An knew that the other party liked him, after all, the other party was the original director, "But I'm just a director, and you're still an actor, right? You can still play him and I can film him."

"You're really good at talking. The script is so well written. I really want to invite you to write a script for me." Clint looked at the script and felt itchy to ask Chen An to write a script for him.

This was not the first time Chen An had heard this request. "I have never written a script for anyone else, and you wrote many of your own scripts for your movies. I don't think you need my own help."

"Hahaha, I'm just saying it casually. After all, your scripts are all pretty good." Clint was just joking.

He usually directs and stars in his own films, and also serves as producer and screenwriter.

"When can we start filming? I think this movie shouldn't take long to shoot."

"It will be done in two days. Once the main filming location is built, the leading actress will just need to train for a few more days."

With advance preparation, the boot time is almost here.

Two days later, the crew completed the organization and arranged a professional boxing trainer to assist in the filming.

The other actors have also been found, but the important ones are the three leading actors.

"Click! Theron, pay attention. You don't know how to box yet. Adjust yourself and look more amateur." Chen An, who was hiding behind the adapter, said to the performing Theron.

Looking at the scene captured by the monitor, Chen An shouted "cut" directly. After a period of training, the opponent's boxing became quite professional.

Clint also stood behind the monitor and watched the filming, wanting to observe what this director, who had achieved so much at such a young age, was like.

He expertly arranges the crew and adjusts lighting, camera lenses and filters at a glance.

As soon as I took the photo, I could keenly notice the difference. It really lived up to its reputation.

Although he is young, he is indeed very talented and those awards are well-deserved. He is truly a genius.

Theron also stopped performing and adjusted her breathing. She did make a mistake just now. Her first performance was in front of two great actors, Clint and Morgan Freeman, so she was a little nervous.

"I have adjusted the director and I can continue performing." After adjusting her mood and breathing, Charlize Theron spoke to Chen An again.

Chen An nodded, "Ok, get ready, Ike wake up!"
