By the way, Zhong Lifang is basically sure to leave Xiaoma now.

Xiao Ma could no longer tolerate her. Brother Big Dog was a person who valued friendship and loyalty. He was very discouraged by Zhong Lifang's departure. When he asked her about her future destination, she only said: "I need to rest for a while first."

Big Dog Brother didn't make things difficult for her, as long as she stood on the last duty.

Today's discussion with Cheng Yu'an about the investment in "Iron Fist" may be the last thing Zhong Lifang does for Xiao Ma.

"Brother Big Dog, Sister Fang." Cheng Yu'an came a little late, "Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road."

"It's okay, we just arrived." Brother Big Dog poured a glass of water for Cheng Yu'an and said to his secretary, "Come, take this little brother to eat something and have a rest."

He's talking about Cheng Yu'an's assistant.

There were no outsiders now. Cheng Yu'an took a sip of tea and heard the big dog brother say: "I am a cheerful person, Director Cheng. I always say what I have to say."

Cheng Yu'an laughed and said: "It's good to speak directly when you have something to say. I also hate those old fritters who talk in roundabout ways."

Brother Big Dog smiled heartily: "We are all cheerful people, so let me tell you the truth, I hope Director Cheng will consider our little pony for "Iron Armor Steel Fist"."

Cheng Yu'an said: "I came out of Zhongying in the morning, and Director Han had the same idea."

"We don't want to compete with Director Han, we only need one share." Xiaoma is preparing for the second round of financing and needs good news.

"It's very difficult for me to deal with it. There isn't much in total. If I divide it here and there, each family can't get much."

There was only a share of 50 million, and Cheng Yuan paid 20 million for half. This price was very generous. If someone was cheating, he would take 70% of the 20 million.

Zhong Lifang continued: "We don't need to tell Director Cheng to know about Xiaoma's qualifications and strength. We don't want much. Xiaoma will offer 15 million US dollars, of which 10 million US dollars will be regarded as sponsorship fees and will not be included in the investment share.

, we will only receive fixed income for the other 5 million."

Cheng Yu'an nodded and pondered for a while, keeping his pony posture very low.

If you give me 15 million, only 5 million will be considered an investment, and you will also receive fixed income.

Cheng Yu'an symbolically returned 6 million to Xiao Ma, and earned 9 million himself. Then the project "Iron Armor Steel Fist" has nothing to do with Xiao Ma.

But Cheng Yuan still said that he should consider it.

Brother Big Dog smiled and said: "I know that Director Cheng is busy and I understand the principle of shopping around, so I won't disturb Director Cheng. Let's go back first."

After talking to Xiao Ma, Cheng Yu'an went home to rest and made an appointment with Hua Yi later.

Cheng Yuan and his girlfriend watched the Academy Awards ceremony at home.

Before the award ceremony, all the guests and the audience stood up to observe a moment of silence for the compatriots who died in the Yushu earthquake.

Then the awards began, starting with Best New Actor.

The finalists include Chen Fala, Li Yuchun, Zhu Xuan, Li Zhiting and Zhong Shaotu.

"Thieves of Time" was shortlisted by two, and the winner of this award is too obvious.

The guest of honor was Eric Tsang, who handed the trophy to Li Zhiting in a procrastinating manner.

"His acting skills are average," Cheng Yu'an commented while watching, "It can be used, but it can't hold up. His performance in "Thieves of Time" was really good."

Then the New Director Award was given to Zhang Jingwei.

Liu Yifei asked him: "Didn't you receive an invitation to be a guest presenter at the Academy Awards? Why don't you go?"

"Unless they give me the best picture and best director, my status will be reduced if I take "The Martian" to go. Even Lingfeng won't agree to go if they don't tell me."

"Are they so xenophobic?" Liu Yifei certainly feels that her man's film deserves Best Picture and Best Director.

"The years when Wen Jun was chairman were fine, but in recent years it has become more and more xenophobic." The decline of Hong Kong films and the decline of the Academy Awards cannot be fully explained even in three days and three nights.

The Best Photography Award was awarded later, and the award guests were Du Wenze and Tian Ruini.

"Will Ran Qiu win an award?" "The Martian" is undoubtedly nominated for Best Cinematography.

Cheng Yu'an said: "It's very possible. It depends on whether the judges give us this opportunity."

Sure enough, when the two couples took the stage, they talked about "The Martian":

"I went to see "The Martian" and it was great." The camera also showed Qin Ranqiu and Chen Zhixi, who were sitting in the audience. "The global box office is 1 billion. Can we give it some applause?"

The couple continued to joke on the stage, and finally the Best Cinematography Award was awarded to Huang Yuetai of "October Siege".

The director finally cut the camera to Qin Ranqiu, who smiled stiffly and clapped.

Cheng Yu'an in front of the TV wanted to laugh: "He can't even pretend."

"No one would be happy with it. The scenes in "The Martian" were made like that, and they lost to "October Siege." Liu Yifei was also upset for her friend.

In the middle, awards were given for Best Editing, Best Female Supporting Actress and Best Sound Effects.

In addition to the Best Supporting Actress award, which went to Ye Xuan, Best Editing went to "Overheard", and Best Sound Effects went to "The Martian" to "Red Cliff 2".

It is worth mentioning that the top two winners of the Best Sound Effects Award were Tianting Yanzhong.

Cheng Yu'an asked: "What movie is Yuanyuan filming now?"

After the two awarded the best sound effects, they continued to award the best visual effects.

The two made a joke about 3D effects on stage first, just to gain popularity. This year, "Avatar" made 3D popular.

Here’s a look at the shortlist:

"October Siege"

"Rebirth"

"Red Cliff 2"

"Wind and Cloud 2"

"Roboman"

"The Martian"

After the shortlisted short films were played, Ruan Jingtian did not hesitate and opened his card directly: "The winner for the best visual effects is Qin Ranqiu from "The Martian"."

"Yeah! I won the prize!" Liu Yifei was even happier than Qin Ranqiu.

Cheng Yuan looked at it and shook his head. When Ruan Jingtian announced that Qin Ranqiu had won the award, the camera swept over and the Hong Kong filmmakers in the audience all had dull expressions.

Applause is also very mechanical.

Qin Ranqiu walked up to the stage to receive the award, shook hands with Ruan Jingtian, and took the trophy from him.

"Thank you to the Academy Awards, thank you to director Cheng Yu'an, thank you to my wife Zhi Xi, and even more thank you to the nearly 3,000 partners in the art and special effects team of "The Martian" for their support. I only did a trivial job, thank you all."

Stepped down.

"The lyrics are well written." Cheng Yuan said with a smile.

The following awards have nothing to do with "The Martian". Best director, best film, best supporting actor, best art direction, best costume design, best action design and best original music are all given to

"October Siege" won 8 out of 15 nominations.

I don’t even act anymore.

Cheng Yu'an planned to leave after watching the award ceremony. Before leaving, he said: "You can watch the news tomorrow to see how this year's Academy Awards will be scolded."

Liu Yifei also felt that this year was too outrageous: "It's so stingy. We were the only mainland crew to win a visual effects award, and all other crews were wiped out. If we keep doing this, no one will go to them in the future."

Liu Yifei did not forget to complain at the end: "There are not even a few mainlanders among the award guests."

"Where are you going so late?" Liu Yifei asked.
