This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 85 Flower Fairy

On March 24, Pacific Time, the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood was bustling with traffic and glittering with stars.

Even though Chang Guangxi was constantly traveling between different award ceremonies and commendation meetings in the second half of last year,
Standing on the red carpet at the Oscars, he still felt as if he were in a dream.

All of this was brought about by that incredibly young man. Chang Guangxi still remembers the details of Chen Yuan coming to him to introduce the grand blueprint of "Kung Fu Panda".

What touched him most was that, despite being a 60-year-old man, he felt elated by such a great honor, but Chen Yuan remained much calmer.

I spoke with the excited creative team beforehand about the intricacies and unspoken rules of the Oscars ceremony.
It is said that "Kung Fu Panda" has virtually no chance of winning Best Animated Feature at this year's Oscars, so everyone should stop daydreaming and be mentally prepared.

Although Chen Yuan proved his foresight time and again, many people still held onto hope, including Chang Guangxi himself.

Compared to these worldly people who chase fame and fortune, Chen Yuan's participation in the Oscars seems more like a trip to pick up girls, date, and create romance for his girlfriend!
He had seen the red carpet makeup and styling of the beautiful Fan Binbin before he left, and she was truly dressed up like a fairy!

The car in front slowly drove away, and a stretch Lincoln pulled up at the starting point of the red carpet.

Chen Yuanxian, dressed in a smart, tailored suit, opened the car door and got out, extending his hand to invite the people inside to travel together.

Fan Binbin's shoulders were trembling slightly with nervousness.

Oscars! This is the Oscars red carpet! How can someone as unknown as her walk the red carpet here!
Zhang Ziyi was the only Chinese actress to have walked the red carpet here before.

But she became a "Zhang Yimou Girl" before even graduating from the Central Academy of Drama, and now she's a top-tier star who rivals Hong Kong's big stars and has successfully gone international.

As for Fan Binbin, she does have the nickname "Yuan Girl," but nothing else.

Although she firmly believes that in the near future, the title of "Yuan Girl" will be more prestigious than that of "Zhang Yimou Girl," and that having this title will make one more dazzling in the industry.
But, but I still feel really guilty!
Fan Binbin looked at Chen Yuan, who was bathed in the flashing lights and giving him an encouraging smile, as if he were an angel descended from heaven. The words Chen Yuan had said to him earlier echoed in her ears.

"Binbin, don't be nervous. It's okay if you feel unworthy of your position right now. Some people in the entertainment industry are born actors, while others need to hone their skills and work hard."

But some people are born with extraordinary charm, and even without any works to back them up, they can still attract countless eyes. These people are also stars, and Binbin, you are a born star.

There's no need to resist your talent, nor to pay attention to external rules or regulations; just confidently showcase your charm!

It doesn't matter if Fan Binbin doesn't believe in herself, but she trusts Chen Yuan unconditionally.

Okay, okay, I'm a born star, and I'm best at walking the red carpet!

Fan Binbin took Chen Yuan's arm as they got out of the car, forcing herself to put on a sweet and confident smile.

The media reporters standing on both sides of the red carpet were initially unimpressed when they saw the unfamiliar Asian couple, intending to save some film and storage space and wait to photograph the big-name celebrities later.

But as soon as the girl stepped out of the carriage, revealing her full figure, a storm of flashing lights spontaneously arose.

The dress is made of a light and thin material, decorated with flowers all over, as if it has a "dry ice mist" effect, giving the overall look a light, dynamic and high-end feel.

Her delicate braided hair was adorned with scattered floral decorations, forming a floral wreath. But even the most beautiful flowers could not steal the spotlight from her exquisitely beautiful face, which seemed to glow, instead highlighting her soft and dreamy charm.

He can remain completely unfazed by the blinding flashes of light from cameras.

Even at the star-studded Oscars ceremony, Fan Binbin's high-profile appearance made him one of the focal points of the red carpet.

After walking down the red carpet, allowing reporters to take pictures for a full two minutes until his eyes were almost blinded, Chen Yuan finally led Binbin by the hand to stand in front of John Culli, chairman of Columbia Pictures.

John Currie is a veteran filmmaker who previously held a high-ranking position at Warner Bros. and now leads Sony Pictures Entertainment, which owns Columbia Pictures, and has achieved remarkable success.

John shook hands warmly with Chen Yuan and his girlfriend. "Virgil, your girlfriend is stunning. She's like a classical beauty who stepped out of a European court painting."

"Thank you. This is one of the few works that I am proud of."

Chen Yuan generously accepted the compliment on behalf of Binbin, mainly because Binbin couldn't understand what the other person was saying.

His English name is Virgil. Having an English name is very convenient when dealing with foreigners, so Chen Yuan simply used the name of Virgil, the game character he was most familiar with.

He came to the Oscars with great fanfare not just to show off his affection for Binbin at an event where he was destined to be a supporting character.

The main purpose was to first contact Columbia Pictures, present a preliminary draft of the "Fringe Walker" project, and explore their current attitude.

John was particularly interested in Virgil, the young man who had created an animated film that grossed $3.5 million worldwide (including domestic box office).

Virgil is undoubtedly a genius, and the IP he created, Kung Fu Panda, is extremely valuable, far surpassing that of ordinary animated films.

Even though he stubbornly refused to share the copyright of "Kung Fu Panda," it still couldn't affect John's admiration for Virgil.

I heard that he also actively used his influence and China's unique advantages to license a Kung Fu Panda IP-themed panda park. With such a keen business sense, he can make a name for himself in Hollywood.

John was intrigued when he heard that John had a new film project in the works, and they arranged to meet at Columbia Pictures headquarters at a suitable time after the awards ceremony to discuss it in detail.

Just as Chen Yuan predicted, the first Academy Award for Best Animated Feature was awarded to DreamWorks' Shrek.

The cameras at the awards ceremony focused on Chen Yuan in the audience. He maintained a calm smile and applauded for the award-winning "Shrek".

I've never cared about it, so how could I be disappointed? The Oscars are just like any other awards, only they do it much more subtly and cleverly than the ones in China.

This year's Best Actor and Best Actress awards went to Denzel Washington and Halle Berry, both of whom are Black actors.

Chen Yuan clapped along with the guests in the audience, but he was secretly smiling to himself. So, the right kind of diversity had already begun so early!

However, it will take more than a decade for this unhealthy trend to truly affect the foundation of Hollywood.

There were some reports in China about Chen Yuan missing out on the Oscar, but not many. More reports focused on Fan Binbin's stunning "flower fairy" red carpet makeup and styling that captivated the world!
