Chapter 871: The Insider
As if deliberately whetting people's appetites, the previous Oscar nominations for Best Foreign Language Film are always announced on the last day of the year, and due to the time difference, the domestic media got the news at 10 pm on the 31st.
Glasses have fallen off inside and outside the circle.
Because of the fact that "Across the Seas" was selected by the Chinese Film Association to participate in the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, except for Luo Kai's iron fans, basically not many people are optimistic, as a commercial blockbuster, let alone winning the Best Foreign Language Film Award, it is almost impossible to get a nomination.
Then there are rumors of various shady, unspoken rules, and black-box operations on the Internet, and many film critics are complaining about several domestic literary films, thinking that no matter how you choose, you should not choose "Across the Seas".
It's obviously impossible to win the award, but you have to choose to send it, this is full of support?
However, the attitude of the China Film Association is very clear, and it has not been affected by public opinion, and it has responded.
"Across the Seas" was selected to participate in the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film because "Across the Seas" is the highest-grossing domestic film overseas this year, and the second, third, fourth, and fifth places behind "Across the Seas" can't be compared combined.
The most important thing is that this movie is not only a high box office, but also has a pretty good reputation both at home and abroad, and if it weren't for the lack of publicity abroad, the box office might have been much higher.
The China Film Association further said that in the future, the domestic films selected to participate in the Oscar Best Foreign Language Film Selection will be based on this standard, and whoever can get the most box office overseas will be qualified to go to Hollywood on behalf of domestic films.
As for whether you can win the prize – does it matter?
The China Film Association showed the carriage and horses, and everyone immediately understood, although the former did not say it directly, but anyone with enough brains knows that this is the official's strong support for cultural export.
For a long time, various foreign pop culture has had a great impact on China, such as Hollywood movies, such as Hallyu, etc., while the domestic cultural industry's ability to export to the outside world is very weak, or even negligible.
In such a situation, the attitude of China Film Association to support "Across the Seas" is obvious.
Although public opinion has calmed down as a result, some filmmakers and film critics are unwilling to wait to see the jokes.
As a result, I never expected that "Across the Seas" would really be nominated!
As soon as this news came out, I don't know how many people shouted MMP in their hearts, and it felt like picking up two steel hammers on the ground to buy a lottery ticket and winning five million.
Did the old men of the American Film Academy take the wrong medicine?
It's simply unscientific!
But Luo Kai's fans have reaped the last surprise of 2017.
"Kai Dong is mighty!"
"Cow, I really got a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film!"
"What about those guys who say it's impossible? Quickly bring us two punches in the face. ”
"Hahaha, I really didn't expect it. ”
""Across the Seas" already has such strength, and it is normal to be nominated. ”
"It would be great if I could win an award. ”
"I guess it's just a nomination, and it's impossible to win an award, unless the Oscar judges go crazy. ”
"Anything is possible!"
"The people of Beijing sent a congratulatory telegram !!"
"The people of Zhejiang Province sent a congratulatory message..."
Luo Kai's blog and the official V of "Across the Seas" were swiped by the message, and the popularity brought by it went straight to the homepage list.
"Across the Seas" and "Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film" are therefore firmly tied together, which makes netizens who don't know the truth very surprised when they open the blog.
Luo Kai was also surprised.
When he got the news, he was at home, and it was already past ten o'clock and he was about to go to bed, but Li Mengru's phone called, and he was very excited to express his joy.
Luo Kai was stunned.
This is not scientific!
In the world of rebirth, he has an indissoluble bond with the Oscars, has been nominated for the Oscars many times, and finally won the Oscar winner, so he naturally knows the Oscars very well.
In their own world, although there are some differences in the development of history, many things in the two worlds are extremely similar, including Hollywood and the Oscars.
Luo Kai himself knows very well that a film like "Across the Seas" is not a non-English film, even if it is produced by Hollywood, it will not be favored by the Oscar judges, and it will only be nominated for a few technical awards.
It's a bit unbelievable that he actually got nominated when he gave up himself.
Li Mengru also expressed her doubts on the phone, and asked Luo Kai if he had carried out insider operations.
Luo Kai couldn't cry or laugh - how could there be any Q operation, if he really wanted to, it would be impossible for him to hide it from Li Mengru.
Then just ended the call with Li Mengru, and a new call came in.
The name displayed on the screen of the mobile phone made Luo Kai's heart move.
He hesitated for a moment and chose to connect: "Hello Mr. Zhao, is there something wrong?"
Originally, the other party's mobile phone number would not appear in the contact whitelist of Luo Kai's private mobile phone, but because of the purchase of the property, he had a deeper contact with Zhao Leyan.
Zhao Leyan was very polite: "Hello Luo Dong, I take the liberty to disturb, I don't know if it will affect your rest." ”
Luo Kai smiled: "Mr. Zhao is too polite, I haven't slept yet." ”
After a pause, he asked: "Mr. Zhao, the movie "Across the Seas" directed and starred by me has just been nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, I guess you have made a lot of efforts, right?"
"Uh..."
Zhao Leyan was caught off guard, and his voice was a little out of tune: "How do you know?"
Luo Kai hehehe.
Of course he guessed - where was there such a coincidence, Zhao Leyan chose to call at this time.
Jinsheng Group is a world-renowned investment bank, one of the iconic banks on Wall Street, with a history of more than 100 years, and Wall Street's penetration into Hollywood is extremely deep, and many film companies are actually controlled by Wall Street.
Luo Kai knows that the Oscar awards are very fair on the surface, but in fact, most of the award-winning films and winners are inseparable from public relations, and the annual Oscars are actually a public relations war.
For films or actors who are expected to win awards, PR cannot guarantee that they will win, but without PR, the possibility of winning the award is very slim, because the opponent will inevitably do it.
Jinsheng Group took action to help "Across the Seas" get a nomination for the best foreign language film, which was a piece of cake, and it didn't cost much at all, but it could really sell Luo Kai's favor.
Then Zhao Leyan's intention is obvious - doing good deeds without leaving a name is by no means the style of the capital elite!
