Chapter 28: Preparations (part 2 of 6)

Director Lu is pondering David Fink's words...

Rush for the prize!

It's the meaning of impacting the Oscars.

It was the second day of the release of "Gravity", and Lu Xiaoran was very curious to see David Fink come in with a bunch of newspapers: "Look at it, they are all praising "Gravity"!"

“… Don't have a mobile app?"

"Yes, but people are more used to reading newspapers. ”

“… All right. ”

Zhen Nima is neurotic, no wonder many people say that Lao Mei's publicity and marketing, including the film review system, are very backward...

Still writing movie reviews in newspapers?

This is the Boston Post's assessment: the epitome of genre films, "Gravity" knows that its purpose is to give the audience as much as possible the unique experience of human beings in space. This movie is done quite well!"

Lu Xiaoran looked up and asked his translator, "Is this a good evaluation?"

"Of course!"

"The universe is beyond imagination and empty and terrifying, and human efforts to explore the universe seem extremely subtle and extremely clumsy, but it also has its own unique romance and beauty..."Gravity" made me feel this at one time, I love this movie so much..."

"Who is this?"

"New York Times film critic Manora Dalgis..."

Speaking of this, David Fink suddenly thought of something: "Boss?"

“… What's wrong?"

“… Shall we try to win the prize?"

"Winning the Oscars, are you sure?"

"Since the critics have said yes, let's give it a try!"

Lu Xiaoran pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "It's not bad to get a few nominations, it's best to discuss with Spielberg, he should have experience in hedging awards!"

David Fink shook his head: "Stephen doesn't know how to rush awards, otherwise "Saving Private Ryan" would not have lost to "Shakespeare in Love"!"

"First of all, this year is a standard year, so far there are no particularly outstanding movies, "Birdman", "Boyhood", "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and "Burst Drummer", these movies are too simple..."

That's right, it's the standard Oscar year!

This probably means that the harvest is not good and the quality is not high.

You don't have anything else to do with a movie like "Birdman" other than a long take...

There are no obvious breakthroughs in genre, theme, narrative, technology, etc.!

Thinking about it this way, the probability of "Gravity" winning the award is not low.

There is no problem with a few technical awards, and maybe you can even win the best director!

……

In the mainland, the publicity of "Gravity" is mainly focused on Tangtang and the Internet...

The Orange PR team came up with a bunch of headlines such as 'Gravity conquers North America', 'Locking in the Best Science Fiction Award of the Year in advance', 'Picking up $50 million in the first weekend, setting a new box office record for Chinese films in North America'...

Of course, there are all kinds of reviews, and they are all praised...

The space agency was also pulled out, and foreign spokesman Huang Qiang mentioned "Gravity": This is a very good movie.

The space presentation and the story itself are absolutely fascinating, and I think it's by far the best use of the 3dimax medium. Rather than use it as a gimmick, Gravity really uses it to depict a realistic environment that is completely alien to most people.

This speech was also on the hot search...

It's really a fire before it is released!

Tangtang ran several variety shows, "Base Camp", "Lu Yu has an appointment"...

Now in an exclusive interview with "Watching Movies".

"It is said that in order to prepare for the role in the film, you have carried out physical training for half a year, and the process must be very difficult, have you lost a lot of weight?"

Tangtang nodded: "I did receive half a year of training, but it was not the kind of muscle building training you imagined, it was some dancers who trained me, and they let me be trained from the inside out to avoid injury, so my weight did not lose much, but my body shape has been greatly improved and reshaped." ”

"Why did you play this role?"

“… Mainly because I'm more idle and on call. ”

"Is it hard to make a movie like this?"

"Luckily, most of the scenes were done in a huge metal device, because it took 30-45 minutes to enter that equipment each time, and it was the same when it came out, and it only took an hour and a half to change the scene every time, so it was a lot of work to go back and forth, so I just stayed inside. They all call that device the sugar cage!"

"I heard Lu Xiaoran say that the biggest difficulty is to simulate weightlessness?"

"Yes, because the plot takes place in a vacuum, it was difficult for me to perform, and then they developed a system to have a robot to help me move, and the development of this system took several months!"

"A lot of people say the story is too simple, what do you think?"

“… It's pretty simple, a story like this can take place in any wild place. But it's hard not to resonate with people in space and make people look back at human civilization in a realistic way. And the technology of this film is really unmatched, if possible, I want everyone to watch 3D, because it's hard to show such an effect on a normal 2D screen!"

After blowing each other, "Watching Movies" magazine said goodbye, Tangtang took the water cup handed by the assistant sister, took a sip, and then asked, "Do you still have an itinerary?"

"Not for a while... I'm going to run a roadshow tomorrow..."

"Roadshow?

"It's the 23rd...

"On the 23rd, when will Xiaoran return to China?

"Brother Lu returned to China today..."

Brother Lu in their mouth has arrived at the company...

……

"You don't have to worry about the box office, we estimate that there will be at least 2 billion!"

"China Film will move "Super Body" to November 1st... Make sure there's only one blockbuster movie called Gravity this week!"

Zhong Lifang said two pieces of news.

"I can understand the shift of "Super Body", why are you so sure that "Gravity" can have a box office of 2 billion?"

Lu Xiaoran flipped through the report in his hand and asked casually.

“… The above will be chartered to support..."

"Wouldn't you?

"Gravity" premiered in the Great Hall of the People, and invited all members of the space agency to participate in the movie, and they said that this is the best sky theme..."

Director Lu was surprised: "Is it really the premiere ceremony held in the Great Hall?"

"Yes, Zhang and Han are also among them. They love Gravity so much!"

These two are both science fiction fans, and the big golden retriever said that after the "Three-Body Problem" movie was filmed, they also went to watch it, and then they were killed directly...

The reason is simple, shoddy stuff!

"Why didn't you call me?"

"Can I still write if I call you?"

“…”

That's right, it's scary to write a surname...

"I guess there must be a lot of people who have already figured out how to attack Gravity... After the release, word of mouth will maintain this piece, and you will do a good job!"

"Got it!"

How to attack?

The story is not enough!
