Zhang Yimou is of course the best director in China, and both his fans and fans must admit this.

Of course, you can still say that he is not as good as Li An, Wang Sunjing, Hou Xiaoxian and Yang Dechang, but his achievements are still the highest in the Chinese film industry.

Now with the addition of an Oscar, Zhang Yimou's reputation has reached new heights from this day on!

Of course Zhang Yimou is happy, but apart from himself, the ones who are even happier are "Shadow" in post-production and "One Second" in preparation.

Deng Chao and Sun Libai won an Oscar for director, and this marketing title kept rising.

The investors behind "One Second" even increased the budget by 30% to the crew the next day.

But some people's focus is not on Zhang Yimou winning the award, but on Cheng Yu'an.

Ordinary viewers may not know this, but most people in the industry know that the script of "Three Billboards" was personally selected by Cheng Yu'an for Zhang Yimou, the crew and actors were written by Cheng Lingfeng for Zhang Yimou, and the public relations was also handled by Cheng's aunt and nephew for Zhang Yimou.

.

Of course, Zhang Yimou borne part of the public relations expenses himself.

Therefore, many directors in the industry suddenly had similar thoughts and wanted to ask Cheng's aunt and nephew to provide them with such a set of services.

"money is not a problem."

The people who called me were not just young directors, they were all very famous directors in the industry.

But how could they think Cheng Yuan would agree to such a request?

"Is the Oscar awarded by my family? I'll take it if I say so?" Cheng Yu'an was angry and funny when talking about this.

"You are very capable." Liu Yifei teased.

After joking, Cheng Yu'an also raised his concerns: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for Chinese people to win Oscars in the future."

Regardless of the reason, Liu Yifei also understood.

Cheng Yuan masturbated two, Zhang Yimou masturbated one, not counting Li An. Chinese people have really made a splash at the Oscars in recent years.

Even though Americans say they welcome film artists from all over the world, in fact they don't want to see Oscars taken away by non-Hollywood people, especially Chinese.

Cheng Yu'an suddenly said something irrelevant: "Chinese Americans are too disunited. If Chinese Americans can unite, and black Americans have such a voice, they may not be able to occupy a seat in Hollywood."

Cheng Yu'an doesn't expect Chinese Americans to care about their motherland at all. He just feels that even if Chinese Americans, and even Asian Americans, can unite and make their voices heard in American society, Hollywood may not take yellow skin seriously.

Black people can resist racial discrimination, but Asians can't?

It may not work, but it's always worth a try.

But the reality is always cruel. For various reasons, it is difficult for Chinese people in the United States to gather together, and their voices are not at the same level as black people.

After the Oscars, the introduction of "Three Billboards" was also put on the agenda. It was announced remotely that "Three Billboards" will be released on the 23rd of this month, exactly one week after "The Shape of Water" will be released in China.

"Three Billboards" was released on a small scale in the United States in November last year. With the results of Outpost, the scale of the release was expanded. After the Oscar was settled, the film was released in 3,400 theaters in North America, and large-scale rollout in Europe is also planned.

Today, the global box office of "Three Billboards" has exceeded 70 million US dollars, and it is just around the corner to exceed 100 million US dollars.

The direct consequence of Zhang Yimou taking off the statuette was that the US government was completely angry.

The President of the United States delivered a special speech on the Oscars the morning after the Oscars. He had long since ignored Hollywood's smears and ridicules. His target was still aimed at Cheng Yu'an and his two companies.

This time he changed his explanation and stopped talking about movies and American culture. He knew that talking about this would be opposed by Hollywood. Instead, he talked about the economy.

He said that Cheng Yuan's two companies were suspected of improper operations and threatened the financial security of the United States: "In the past ten years, the two companies made more than 2 billion US dollars in profits in the United States, but he did not use the money.

consumption and investment in the United States, but transferred it to his secret account through some special method. Moreover, my economic advisor has good reason to suspect that he maintains secret relationships with consortiums from various countries and uses his influence in Hollywood to

Act as a capital broker for those investors and extract a lot of intermediary fees."

When the news spread back to China, people were excited.

Cheng Yu'an's reputation among the audience is the best among mainland directors. Apart from being hated by fans for marrying a fairy sister, he basically has no other black spots.

Now that the U.S. government is accusing Cheng Yuan of having financial problems, the majority of netizens will certainly support him.

"What threatens economic security is that he is jealous of our two companies." Cheng Yu'an saw this matter through.

The president of the United States clearly targeted Cheng Yu'an, which made his relatives and friends very worried. They have called him to comfort and persuade him in the past few days.

But Cheng Yu'an didn't panic at all and said he would handle it well, "He can't do anything to me."

Even at the awards night, Oscar supported him, but as soon as the President of the United States changed the track and said that Cheng Yuan's company had financial problems, the voice of Hollywood's support was immediately reduced by half.

Some celebrity friends still support Cheng Yuan in public. For example, Xiao Li and Anne Hathaway shouted in support of Cheng Yuan in interviews: "Cheng is the most talented director I have ever seen, and his company is also the best company for actors and directors.

, I do not believe any of the accusations against Cheng."

Cheng Yu'an still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, eating delicious beef and mutton on the grassland while filming.

Looking at Cheng Yu'an's current state, others don't look like he was named by the President of the United States at all.

The people next to her knew better. Liu Yifei also told her friends that Cheng Yuan was eating well, sleeping soundly, and was in good condition, so there was no need to worry.

Of course, Cheng Yu'an didn't do nothing. He went back to communicate with Cheng Lingfeng after the show in the evening. A team of lawyers and an accounting firm had been hired to respond to the US government's investigation at any time.

The aunt and nephew had good communication. As soon as Cheng Yuan walked out of the study room and was going to play with her daughter, Liu Yifei handed him her cell phone to look at.

The above is a long circle of friends of Zhong Lifang, CEO of Remote Media Group, to the effect of:

"Some things have indeed happened in the company recently, but some people are not necessarily too anxious. They are anxious to add insult to injury before the matter is finalized. Are some people very happy, thinking that the industry leader who has been sitting remotely for more than ten years is finally going to fail? Don't worry.

, the company is doing very well now, and it will get better and better. I advise those who want to short-sell in the secondary market to give it a rest, I can eat as much as you have, and let’s see who dies in the end.”

There was no need to ask Zhong Lifang for confirmation. Cheng Yuan knew the whole story just by looking at this circle of friends.

It is estimated that some shareholder saw that Cheng Yuan was named by the President of the United States and wanted to sell the stock and run away in advance. In order to avoid triggering a wave of selling by investors, Zhong Lifang communicated with the shareholder in advance and wanted to directly repurchase the stock in the name of the company. However, the shareholder did not agree and still chose to go public.

.

There must be some people among them who want to fish in troubled waters and take a bite of the remote control. Zhong Lifeng was so angry that she posted such a circle of friends.
