Chapter 988: New Hatred and Old Grudge
The Oscar nomination public relations battle is in full swing, and when Qiao Feng held a banquet at both ends of the three days to canvass for votes, other related parties and companies were also taking action.
"Boss, there is a report in the newspaper that discredits Miss Gong Li." The assistant reported with a few newspapers.
"What are you talking about?" Qiao Feng took the newspaper and asked.
"To say that Miss Gong Li's Oscar-winning actress is not worthy of the name, in terms of acting compared to Jessica Tandy, the heroine who drives for Miss Daisy." The assistant said.
While listening to the assistant's introduction, Qiao Feng also browsed the newspaper.
The content of several newspapers is similar, and the reason for smearing Gong Li is just like what the assistant said, which is the same reason.
In Chinese, it is not worthy of virtue, and the author of the report said that Gong Li, who is in his early eighties, is completely a newcomer who has not dried up compared to his high morality.
Just like Tom Cruise, the representative of the art milky pie, Tom Cruise is not qualified to win the Oscar, and it is even difficult to get a nomination, so why can Gong Li get the actress.
There is a tabloid that is even more funny, they say that Gong Li is still young anyway, why can't he wait, there is a chance to hit the Oscars in the future, why should he compete with the eighty-year-old Jessica Tandy for the Oscar actress.
The implication is that Jessica Tandy is older, and he is much older, and it should be someone's turn to take it, even if Gong Li is stronger, he is not a fart in the face of age advantage.
", according to what they say, then why do the Oscars go to great lengths to engage in the selection.Directly show the age, show the date of birth, whoever is older will let whoever wins the award.If the age is the same, then compare the date of birth, if the date of birth can't be compared, then compare the specific time of birth, which can be accurate to the hour and minute." Qiao Feng sneered and mocked.
He knew very well in his heart that these reasons for smearing Gong Li were all nonsense, otherwise why didn't there be such a nonsense voice after Gong Li won the award at that time, but it didn't appear until more than half a year later.
There is really only one reason, that is, by smearing and questioning Gong Li, the purpose of attacking and discrediting Ju Dou is achieved.
As long as Ju Dou falls into the unfair turmoil of the heroine and the first protagonist, if it is properly guided, it will be much more difficult for Ju Dou to compete for the nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.
"Do you know which competitor is smearing us?" Qiao Feng put the newspaper aside and asked.
"It's supposed to be Miramax Films." The assistant replied.
"Miramax Films?" Qiao Feng couldn't help frowning.
Before Gong Li said that Harvey Weinstein was engaged in a series to prevent Ju Dou from being nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, Qiao Feng was still a little unimpressed.
He doesn't think that just because Harvey Weinstein was fighting for Ju Bean's North American rights in the first place, he would waste favors to add to Ju Bean's blockage.
It's just business, after all!
How can you be willful, and you will repay it, that is too nonsense.
Qiao Feng never expected that Harvey Weinstein, who he didn't care about, would really be the first to jump out and attack Ju Dou. (Although he borrowed the hand of the newspaper and his mouth to achieve the purpose of discrediting Gong Li and then discrediting Ju Dou.)
And the reason used is so ridiculous.
"Isn't it just robbing Judou's North American distribution rights, and hundreds of thousands of dollars can be caught for revenge?" Qiao Feng felt funny and talked to himself.
"Boss, it's not just because of Judou's North American distribution rights, they and we are also competing at the Oscars, and a Swiss film released by Miramax is also competing for a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film." The assistant reminded in a whisper.
"Really?"
Qiao Feng was a little surprised and a little embarrassed.
Surprise is naturally surprise It turns out that Miramax also has a film to compete for the nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, and the embarrassment is also because of this.
Because Qiao Feng remembered what Gong Li said when he told him that Harvey Weinstein was going to stumble on Ju Dou, he said that Harvey Weinstein stumbled on Ju Dou without a relationship of interest, which was harmful to others and not good for himself.
Well, this slap in the face came too quickly.
It turns out that there is really a relationship of interest.
Qiao Feng was not only embarrassed by this, but even more embarrassed that he swore that he would definitely win the nomination for Best Foreign Language Film without knowing anything about his opponent.
Oops, inflated, too inflated.
I forgot the famous words of my ancestor that I knew that I knew that the other side could not be defeated in a hundred battles.
Hey, it's all my fault, I know that Ju Dou was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars in the original time and space, but I forgot that my appearance was a big variable.
Qiao Feng didn't forget to excuse his carelessness a little in his heart when he let himself introspect.
After such a play, Qiao Feng hurriedly asked his assistant to find the films nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, especially the films that were focused on being notated.
Then, in the information he brought, Qiao Feng first watched the Swiss film released by Miramax.
Journey of Hope, which is the title of the Swiss film released by Miramax.
This is a story about smuggling immigrants, like all movies about smuggling, this is about a story about people from underdeveloped countries who turn to the Western world, their hearts to the bright heaven, and then the hardships and hardships encountered in the smuggling and the warm-hearted and kind people to help them.
Such a movie is what Westerners like to see just because of the subject matter, not to mention that this movie is based on real people and real events.
This is the favorite of the Oscar judges.
From the subject matter to the adaptation of real people and real events, this movie is not inferior to Ju Dou in terms of attraction to the Oscar judges, and even surpasses it.
Not to mention that the film is also a co-production of the United Kingdom, Italy, Switzerland and Turkey.
This is not only a problem of the producers, but the most important thing is that the background of this movie is therefore much deeper than the average movie background.
Both the UK and Italy have a large number of film practitioners active in Hollywood, and these two countries have a large number of members of the Academies of Science and Arts, many of which are very well-known.
For such a movie, its producers can find many artists in their own country who have developed in Hollywood to cheer for their own movies through their connections.
Not to mention that the distributor is still Miramax, who has a pivotal position in the independent film industry, and it is Harvey Weinstein.
This connection is quite terrifying, even no less than Ju Dou, who has his back to MGM.
Plus the subject matter is quite in line with the appetite of the Oscar judges.
It's no wonder that Harvey Weinstein and Miramax will directly find Ju Dou and Gong Li to start.
Apparently Harvey Weinstein felt that the movie he released was good enough to be favored by the Oscars, and it was also clear that Harvey Weinstein regarded MGM's Judou as his biggest rival.
In addition to the old grudge with Qiao Feng, Harvey Weinstein didn't look for Ju Dou to find anyone.
Not to mention that Qiao Feng also remembered another old grudge with Harvey Weinstein and Miramax.
