This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 77 Oscar Nomination? (Now Available! Please Subscribe!)
Chen Yuan immediately thought of Binbin, who was standing next to him.

She played Jang Geum?

The image of Binbin involuntarily popped into my mind: her masterpiece, "The Empress of China," where she played a pure and innocent palace maid who became a good person and eventually became the ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Jang-geum needed to portray the resilience of a low-ranking palace maid, but Bin-bin's face...
The idea that someone like her would end up cooking in the imperial kitchen is so unconvincing; who would believe it?
Her face is best suited to portraying prosperous times and the lives of ordinary people, which is indeed difficult for her to portray.

Although Fan Binbin's performances in "Apple" and "I Am Not Madame Bovary" were good, they were the result of her acting skills honed through dozens of TV series and movies in her previous life.

Binbin really doesn't have that ability now.

Binbin wasn't suitable, so Chen Yuan thought of Changchang. That girl was perfect!

Changchang has suffered a lot since childhood and has experienced many things. She has a strong character and an indomitable spirit.

Her acting skills are sufficient; she's perfectly capable of playing the lead role of Jang-geum, a woman who grows through trials and tribulations!

So eager to get into the Beijing Film Academy and start his own career, Chen Yuan, as the older brother, naturally had to support him.

There is no better work than such a heavyweight TV series for her official entry into the entertainment industry.

The crew, who had already developed a tacit understanding, did not experience any impact on filming efficiency when the location was changed.

Leaving the remote mountain village and arriving at Hengdian, where all facilities are complete, greatly improved the efficiency of filming.

The entire Jade Toad Palace arc was filmed smoothly. Fan Binbin's action scenes became increasingly immersive under Chen Yuan's hands-on guidance, and he also received special training in wire work, becoming quite skilled.

If it's too difficult, just let Wu Jin, who's dressed up in a flamboyant way, take the place.

In this chapter, the male protagonist Pan Hong is mostly lying around like a corpse, but Chen Yuan can't lie around; he's very busy every day.

It's not just within the film crew; as December approaches, many official and association awards and ceremonies will be held during this period.

With such a huge influence, Kung Fu Panda has won countless awards, and Chang Chang basically spent the second half of the year constantly traveling between different award ceremonies.

There are occasions where Chen Yuan cannot be absent, so he can only go and show his support.

Of all the awards, the multiple nominations for the 29th Annie Awards are clearly the most significant.

The Annie Awards, hosted by the International Animated Film Association, are one of the highest honors in the animation field and are often referred to as the Oscars of animation.

Kung Fu Panda was nominated for Best Animated Feature, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Storyboard, Best Character Animation, Best Character Design, and Best Animated Effects.
It's the most dazzling of all the works nominated for the Annie Awards this year!
According to the Academy Awards committee, the 74th Academy Awards next year will add a new category for Best Animated Feature.

Given the success and influence of "Kung Fu Panda," it's a foregone conclusion that Chen Yuan will receive an Oscar nomination.

The Oscars are currently at the peak of their influence.

No matter what the nomination is, the Oscars are the Oscars. Among Chinese directors who have received Oscar nominations, only Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai are Chinese citizens.

Chen Yuan, once a young upstart with only box office success, now boasts prestigious awards.
Although both are in the animation field and are far inferior to live-action movies, they can still stand taller, right?
Chen Yuan has recently won numerous awards both domestically and internationally, and has been highly praised by the media. During a transfer at the airport for the "Legend of Seven Swords" crew, Chen Yuan was surrounded by reporters.
To avoid inconveniencing other passengers at the airport, he had no choice but to answer questions from the persistent reporters. "Director Chen Yuan, your first animated film has achieved such great success. Will you continue to focus on animated films, or will you try your hand at live-action films?"

Why can't people walk on two legs?

Chen Yuan flashed a confident and charming smile at the camera, and the female reporter was clearly momentarily stunned by him. Then another reporter pushed her aside.

"Director Chen Yuan, Hollywood has high hopes for you. Will you go to Hollywood to compete in the future?"

"If you have a work that your partners approve of, why not?"

"Director Chen, recently some media outlets have praised you, along with directors Li An and Wu Baige, as the three great Eastern directors who have conquered Hollywood. What are your thoughts on this?"

Chen Yuan gave the reporter who asked the clumsy, overly flattering question a strange look, then glanced at the sign in front of the microphone he was holding, and made up his mind to blacklist this newspaper in the future!

Li An rose to fame in Hollywood with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Wu Baige had been working in Hollywood since the 90s, and last year her directorial work, Mission: Impossible 2, became the highest-grossing film of the year worldwide with a box office of $5.45 million.

While Kung Fu Panda's success was remarkable and Chen Yuan's personal earnings were certainly higher than the other two, this isn't the way to compare them!

"People can say whatever they want, it's none of my business."

Seeing Chen Yuan's cold demeanor and avoidance of the question, the reporter immediately pressed on, "You're so young, are you confident you can surpass these two seniors in the future?"

Chen Yuan smiled, pointed at the reporter, shook his head, and said directly:

"You bunch of people just want to make some big news. You drag me out and compare me to this person and that person. Don't you understand the saying that there is no first place in literature but there is a second place in martial arts?"
"Fine, I'll just say it directly. The director I admire most, the one I consider the most talented, is Hong Kong director Wong Kam."

The reporters were incredulous at this answer. Although Wang Jin held a very important position in Hong Kong, his reputation had never been very good!

I never expected Chen Yuan to be so outspoken.

"I'm not kidding you, this is my honest opinion."

Many people think that Director Wong has made a lot of scatological and pornographic films, and has no morals whatsoever.

But I believe that the most basic professional quality of a director is to ensure that their investors do not lose money.
Director Wang Jin has managed to ensure that most of his investors make money while maintaining a high output of products, which is an extremely remarkable skill!
I will continue to learn from Director Wang, striving to minimize or avoid losses. I would also love to collaborate with him again if the opportunity arises.

Chen Yuan's words were actually a ploy to trap Wu Baige, as he was currently working on the war epic "Windtalkers".

"Windtalkers" turned the Hollywood Big Six into the Big Five, bankrupted MGM, and ruined Wu Baige's future in Hollywood. It was a super money-loser!
He returned from Hollywood in disgrace and was still able to easily take charge of the largest domestic investment project, producing the infamous flops "Red Cliff".

However, with Chen Yuan around in this life, he certainly won't be allowed to ruin the domestic film market like this.

The reporter was quite shocked by Chen Yuan's blatant money-first mentality.

Kung Fu Panda can be said to be the most successful domestic film in terms of cultural export. As the director, shouldn't Chen Yuan be vigorously promoting the art of film?
