Chapter 163: It's simply insulting
"The script is ready. Can you send it to me to take a look? I haven't filmed a script you wrote yet." Hearing that the script was ready, Jiang Wen couldn't help but want to take a look.
He was very envious of Chen An's script, and he was well-known for it throughout the industry.
"Why are you in such a hurry? The director hasn't been found yet. You can change the script later."
"What do you mean by changing the script? Am I that kind of person?"
"Everyone knows who you are. Back then, Senior Brother Zhang couldn't stand your anger and drank two bowls of white wine."
"That's his own problem. I'm not wrong."
"Then I'll change the script and ask him to be the director?"
Hearing Chen An say this, Jiang Wen immediately shut up. If he continued like this, he would really become an actor. "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and contact me when the time comes. Why is it so long-winded to ask for a script? I'm hanging up now."
After he finished speaking, the phone was hung up. Chen An smiled and didn't say much.
The reason for not giving the script to the other party was mainly because I bought the copyright before I even wrote it, so I had so much to say to the other party.
However, the director's choice made Chen An think for a while. It was still early in the year, and it was too early for Ning Hao to become the village chief of the Novice Village.
It is not appropriate to follow Jiang Wen while you are still in school. It is easy for you to be led astray by Jiang Wen if you have not formed your own system.
He is one of the few directors in China who is good at multi-line narrative and black humor. He cannot be given to Jiang Wen.
And there is no need to rush, you can just lure him with investment when the time comes.
The earlier batch of directors had already been deeply involved in underground films and became the famous sixth generation directors.
Originally, Chen An should have been counted as the sixth generation, but he was considered too bullying and debuted too early, so he was classified as the fifth generation along with Jiang Wen.
There are only a few candidates that can be picked out, including the future Golden Bear director Diao Yinan, Wuershan, and Guan Hu, who are potential directors.
Diao Yinan’s most famous work is the famous "Black Coal, Thin Ice", but he is not as good as the latter two in the field of commercial films.
Wuershan is indeed famous for breaking various box office records with commercial films, and everyone knows about the dirty things that were caused by "Fengshen".
Guan Hu's box office performance is also good, not inferior to Wuershan. Now he is preparing to start filming a TV series, and it is easy to find people.
Chen An knocked on the table, but in the end he couldn't make up his mind.
I think I won’t think about it for now. I’ll just invite everyone and see if anyone wants to come. I’ll just write the script for now.
There's no need to write it in great detail, since it's being filmed for Jiang Wen, he'll make the revisions himself.
Soon, the sound of Shashasha writing could be heard from the study.
After the Lantern Festival, Chen An sent the two elders on the plane.
After returning to the company after the New Year, Chen An felt the curious eyes of his employees and decided to assign them more work.
Moreover, there are only a few days left before the Oscar nominations are announced, so everything that needs to be arranged must be arranged in advance.
The huge success of "Young Justice Bao" has attracted many more businesses to seek Zeng Li as their spokesperson.
The other party didn't have time to come over. While Li Xiaoping was reporting and wanted to gossip but hesitated, Chen An gave her instructions and kicked her out of the office.
Instead of spending time gossiping about yourself, you might as well find a partner after work.
With the announcement of the nominations for the 73rd Academy Awards a few days later on February , the media, which had been dormant, became lively again.
It’s not just because Chen An was nominated for an Oscar again, but because both of Chen An’s films were shortlisted.
District 9 was nominated in three categories: Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing and Best Visual Effects.
There is one less Best Picture award than in my previous life.
Million Dollar Baby was nominated for five awards, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actor. There were two fewer awards than in the previous life, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Film Editing, probably because both were nominated for Chen An's films.
But after all, both films were shortlisted.
But these domestic bastards are not paying attention to this. For example, Chen An hid in his office and watched netizens start to comment online:
"So, we can see Chen An and two Hollywood actresses attending together again. The prize is even bigger this time. Will they French kiss directly?"
"I am drooling with jealousy just thinking about this scene. She is a Hollywood actress. We rarely see her on TV shows and can only see her in the cinema. But Chen An can just lay his hands on her!"
"Which foot is moving?"
"I don't know if it can win Best Picture and Best Director. Are there any netizens overseas who can tell me whether they have high expectations for the movie?"
"This string of award nominations should give us some hope."
"Who cares about this? I just want to see if he can still enter the venue holding hands with two Hollywood actresses. He is truly a role model for our generation. What's the point of just making a movie? He wants to inject patriotic energy into Hollywood actresses as well!"
"What a patriotic energy! Even this is patriotic."
"Given Chen An's habit of always winning the Best Director award at the three major competitions, he should be able to win the Best Director award."
"."
Chen An looked at the messages from netizens on the computer screen and felt that it was insulting, insulting. You guys didn't care at all about my buddy's second entry into the Hollywood Oscars, you guys only care about your own little things with the female star.
The media also made fun of this:
'Chen An's two Hollywood films were nominated again this year, with a total of eight Oscar nominations. It is expected that he will walk the red carpet hand in hand with two Hollywood actresses again! '
Now Chen An’s reputation as a playboy has been thoroughly established.
Zeng Li was putting on makeup when she saw the newspaper handed to her by her assistant Xiaoyu. Her face changed suddenly and she was already in an uproarious mood because of the headlines.
Finally, he couldn't help but squeeze the taut newspaper and made several irregular holes, which scared Xiaoyu and made him wonder if he shouldn't show her the newspaper.
We're about to start filming a commercial.
Zeng Li grabbed the newspaper and crumpled it into a ball. She took a few deep breaths angrily before her face returned to normal.
"Xiaoyu, please notify us to start the filming soon. I need to go back to the company after the filming is finished!"
"okay."
After hearing the instructions, Xiaoyu immediately ran out to inform the filming party.
After Xiaoyu left, Zeng Li unfolded the crumpled newspaper in her hand, looked at the report on the headline, and gritted her teeth angrily.
The thought of Yu Jinghong had already made him extremely nervous. Thinking that neither he nor Yu Jinghong could reach him abroad, he could relax his vigilance.
Who knew there were two more abroad!
She was caught off guard and her defense was broken, but the more it happened, the more she refused to accept it.
Now I just want to finish shooting the commercials piled up last year and go back to the company before Chen An leaves.
At this time, Chen An had already started packing, preparing to take the nearest flight to Hollywood.
Chen An couldn't stand the ridicule from domestic netizens and mass media any more and didn't want to stay there for even a moment longer. If you continue like this, you will lose me!
As a Chinese director in Hollywood, I endured humiliation and was abused by foreigners every day. I endured it all, just to make a name for myself as a Chinese director and help Chinese-language films become famous internationally.
But when I returned to China, I only saw your persecution. You never mentioned a word about the honors you obtained with great difficulty, but instead showed interest in and made fun of your own painful and humiliating experiences.
It really breaks my heart.
With grief and anger, Chen An took Zhao Xiong on a plane to Hollywood.
I swear, I'm a normal person, I don't have any other hobbies, but as I write, I find that Zeng Li is developing in the direction of a victim, but I can't stop.
