Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After successfully winning the Best Director award, it seems to be a definite fact that the film "Love" will become the Best Picture.  Because "Amour" barely missed any of its previous outings, it won all the Producers, Writers and Directors Guild Awards, not to mention the Golden Globe.

    Just when everyone was cheering for Mulder to win the Best Director award without any suspense, Jack Nicholson turned around and announced with his evil smile that today's Mesno Night was the biggest winner.  It turned out not to be the two handsome cowboys who stayed together until death among the green hills of Wyoming, but the various races of people who had lost and lost hope in life on the streets of Los Angeles.

    Cassie Schulman, the producer of "Crash" who won the best picture, took the stage to give a speech: "Thank you everyone for your support for this film, this film about love, tolerance and truth. Before other nominated films, we feel  Shame on you for making this year one of the most exciting, exciting and unique years for American cinema. Thank you all."

    After the host John announced: "The award ceremony is over, good night, everyone," the three and a half hour long awards ceremony finally came to an end.  The audience at the scene and in front of the TV experienced three dull hours of "expectedness", and then in the last half hour of ups and downs of suspense and suspicion, they witnessed two dark horses emerging from the diagonal stab.  "3 Idiots" took home the crown for best foreign language film, while "Collision" won best picture.  Some people have called this one of the biggest upsets in the history of Mesno.

    This year＊s Mesno, there are tears in the eyes of the winners.  There are also regrets in the hearts of losers, but these will soon dissipate. Only movies can bring everyone eternal memories, just as the veteran director Robert Altman, winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award, said in his speech: "Beach  Castles built with sand in the past have to watch the waves wash them away. The process of making every movie is the process of building a castle on the beach. The beauty can only remain in the memory."

    求求求求

    A week later.  Chen Feng was invited to go to the base of the Hasbro company in Rhode Island. On the way, he chatted with Sberg, who was traveling with him.

    "After the Mesno Award Ceremony that day, I had an interview. I didn't have time to congratulate you." Sperger stretched out his hand, "Congratulations."

    After shaking hands with him, Chen Feng didn't have that proud and excited expression on his face: "I've seen a lot of good news about you in the newspapers recently. You seem to have been inducted into the 'Science and Fantasy Hall of Fame', and here I am also  Congratulations."

    Sberg smiled and waved his hand, "Do you know why I like science fiction stories so much?"

    ※Because it is a space where imagination can be used to the extreme.§

    Because this answer satisfied him, Sberg decided to give Chen Feng a heads up: "It is because of the reason you mentioned that I showed a strong interest in filming the live-action version of "Transformers". I am good at shooting science fiction."  There were many directors for the film, but you know why I chose Michael Bay and not anyone else?"

    ※Because he has a strong feel for this type of story, he can blend fictional characters into reality and give them real humanity.§ In front of this world-renowned director, Chen Feng has no need to hide his clumsiness.  He boldly expressed his thoughts: "The theme of the live-action "Transformers" story is also human nature. Whether it is the 'Decepticons' or the 'Autobots', you definitely don't want them to be just one person in the film."  A pile of cold machines, fighting for the sake of fighting."

    Siberg adjusted his glasses and looked at Chen Feng with a very formal look.  "If this movie is shot five years later, you will definitely be the best director of the movie."

    Chen Feng chuckled: "But if you wait another five years, I won't be able to play the leading role at my age."

    This humorous answer amused Sberg. He smiled and nodded, "Yes, what we need now is a young leading actor. But I still retain my thoughts just now. If the film shoots a sequel in the future, maybe I will really  will ask you to be the director."

    At first, Chen Feng just regarded the proposal as a joke, but now it seems that Sberg is serious.

    Seeing that Chen Feng's expression was a little awkward, Sperger patted him on the shoulder: "I very much agree with the point of view you emphasized in Mesno's acceptance speech. For a young man, premature and excessive honors are both  It is an incentive, but it may also stifle your potential and creativity. Since you understand this truth, there is no need to worry, the future entertainment industry will eventually belong to you."

    求求求求

    At the entrance to the Hasbro company＊s base, there stands a model of Optimus Prime more than ten meters high, which can be seen from a long distance away.  When the car came closer, Chen Feng discovered that there was already a person standing under the model.  When they got off the bus, the man wearingThe guy in a blue T-shirt and sunglasses was looking up at the huge Autobot model in front of him.

    This person is naturally the Michael Bay that Sperger talked about with Chen Feng on the road.  Chen Feng is no stranger to this director who has shot many blockbuster commercial blockbusters.  When the two parties met, Chen Feng and Michael Bay spontaneously made a move, took off their sunglasses, and then hung them on their open collars.

    "It seems that you have found common ground between you." Sberg noticed this detail, and then used it as a starting point for the topic, "You two should know each other, right?"

    Michael Bay and Chen Feng shook hands in a friendly way, "This should be our first meeting, but we should know each other."

    "That's right." Chen Feng nodded, "I've basically seen all the movies you made."

    "I've watched a lot of your movies, especially "Twilight", which was really well done."

    "It should be an honor for me to be recognized by you," Chen Feng said with a smile: "Most of the movies I acted in before were youth campus movies. I always thought that a director like you wouldn't like that style.  type of movie.§

    "To be honest, I'm really not very interested in that kind of movie, but I'm very interested in myself," Michael Bay said frankly: "In fact, when I was preparing to shoot my last movie "Escape from the Island"  , I once considered asking you to be the protagonist of this film. For this reason, I carefully watched most of your films. Although most of your roles are a bit childish, your acting style is very mature. Later, because of some other  factors, I did not go to you. Facts have proved that my judgment was correct, you have now also won the Mesno Award for Best Actor and Best Director. I should congratulate you here."

    "Escape", which was released last year, failed to achieve the expected success and attracted bad reviews and failed miserably at the box office. However, Michael Bay did not have too many taboos when mentioning this film.  For an established director like him, people will not completely deny his ability just because one film fails.

    When the two met for the first time, they talked about some topics that the other party was interested in. Siberg looked on and saw that the two of them had many topics in common, and a stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.  After they chatted for a while, Sberg brought the conversation back on track.

    "Michael, I just saw that you have been observing the big guy at the door before us. Do you have any thoughts on this?"

    Of course Michael Bay understood what Sperger meant, but unfortunately he shook his head and said regretfully: "There is nothing that has inspired me yet."

    Sperger was not discouraged, "Then let's go visit first. I guarantee there will be a lot of you inside" He first looked at Michael Bay, then pointed at Chen Feng, "And you, who we are all very familiar with in childhood.  Toys. You will see how authoritative and serious this company is in producing toys.§

    求求求求

    When they visited the base of "Hasbro" company, the staff inside were designing a new Monopoly game. Chen Feng saw the cross-dressing doll "Mr. Potato" and the American soldier doll from "Special Forces".  Each toy represents a memory of childhood.  Although Chen Feng did not inherit the memory of this body, he still had a natural affinity for toys.  Michael Bay, on the other hand, has been silent since the beginning of the visit.

    After the visit, they met with Brian Goldner, CEO of Hasbro.  For being able to reinterpret a successful toy product in the form of a live-action movie, the forty-year-old company leader expressed uncontrollable excitement in his words like a child.

    When Goldner came to Hasbro in 2008, the company was struggling to make ends meet and was losing $144 million.  This year, sales of toys licensed from Lucasfilm＊s ※Star Wars: Episode I§ and Nintendo＊s ※Pokemon§ games were not very ※smart.§  Hasbro has begun to wake up: being too obsessed with Star Wars fanaticism and neglecting its own classic toy brand is a dangerous imbalance.

    In the previous three years, Hasbro promised at least US$590 million in royalties to obtain toy licenses for Lucas's "The Phantom Menace" and other Star Wars movies. However, the subsequent toy sales performance was not as good as expected. In order to turn a profit, the company's veteran Ai  Er proposed that the company's first priority is to stimulate sales of its own core brands and reduce dependence on externally licensed products.  They needed a young, creative mind to spark a toy renaissance.

    The new CEO Goldner just meets this condition. He likes to go against the convention. According to the convention, toy manufacturers fight to win the movie toy license, but Goldner uses reverse thinking and changes from passive to active.  Licensing existing toy brands to DreamWorks Studios to shoot movies, using movies as the best marketing carrier for toys.  (You are welcome to come.
