On the day he arrived in Toronto, Zhang Junsheng was pulled by Catherine to attend the reception...

The Oscar PR battle has begun!

Xiao Lizi is talking to an old man, looking at his expression, this old man should be very famous...

"Hi, Leon!"

“… Zhang, you're here, I'll introduce you..."Xiao Lizi saw Zhang Junsheng and hurriedly introduced enthusiastically: "This is Roger Albert." ”

Roger Albert, a veteran Hollywood film critic, has a strong influence, and if he pushes a movie, it will inevitably become a hit in the awards season...

However, Zhang Junsheng doesn't have a good impression of all the film critics, so he smiled and didn't flatter...

"Untouchable is very good, it reminds me of "Driving for Miss Daisy" and "Smelling a Woman"..."

"Thank you, in fact, the prototype of Wang Bo in the story is an Algerian!"

Roger Albert nodded: "... Oh, no wonder you make a film like this, and the whole film is told in a French way!"

Nonsense, the prototype of "Untouchable" is a story that takes place in France!

French cinema is very good at depicting this aspect: two characters with completely different personalities and temperaments, and from different regions and classes, due to their different cultural backgrounds and contextual habits, collide in a chance encounter.

"Welcome to the North" and "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" are all this way...

As for the Algerians, Zhang Junsheng just mentioned, it is mainly because the relationship between Algeria and France is very delicate: France spent 75 years colonizing Algeria, and then another 17 years to suppress the rebellion, and finally declared it a failure.

Only the middle period from 1905 to the beginning of World War II in 1939, 34 years in the middle can be regarded as peace, that is to say, only these 34 years can be said that Algeria is a French colony, which shows how tenacious this country and nation are, and never gave up the struggle from beginning to end.

This is no less tragic than what Japan did in China back then, and its success in becoming independent is still the pride of the people of this land: the landmark buildings they built: the three-leaf tower, the sculptures in the center of the city, the museums... They are all national heroes and deeds of the Anti-Japanese War...

At present, Algeria is a French-speaking country, and the French culture, language, and living habits still have a great influence on this region, and 2 million of the 4 million people who emigrated from Algeria are in France, and the relationship with France is quite close.

But there is hatred in it, similar to the relationship between China and Japan...

France even designated Algeria's Independence Day as a day of national martyrdom...

"Yes, I just wanted to tell a story about love, and the affection between people is so sincere that it can transcend skin color, race, national history, and even ethnic hatred!"

"Thank you for telling me this, it has added a lot of weight to Untouchable in my mind!"

"You're welcome..."

……

"Film critics have a lot of influence during awards season!"

“… There's no need to grovel so much, Catherine helped me run "Vulgar" last year, and she didn't care much about the critics!"

Xiao Lizi shrugged: "So, "Vulgar" didn't win the best picture!"

“… That... That's because of the balance!"

The paralyzed, which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned!

"Harvey over there!"

Zhang Junsheng followed Xiao Lizi's gaze, and sure enough, there was a middle-aged fat man: "... Do you want to go over?"

“… Let's go say hi!"

Zhang Junsheng is indispensable...

Harvey, of course, the biggest opponent of "Untouchable" and the biggest promoter of the Oscars...

His magic weapons are: public relations lobbying against judges, manipulation of media opinion, and smearing opponents.

Catherine ran "Vulgar" last year, and she learned this way...

It's just that Harvey is a standard Machiavellian, with no moral baggage, and he can do it when he wants!

Well, Weinstein's deeds even knew a thing or two about being short and tight, and after it was exposed, the entire Hollywood circle covered their mouths and said that they were shocked.

It can only be said that the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing it.

Talking about the unspoken rules so fresh and refined, anyway, the opportunity roles have been used, jump out and say a few words, and you can also classify yourself as a feminist fighter.

A certain bigwig wants to invest in a movie, in which there are several female characters, and many girls are snatching their heads.

You were also one of the girls interviewed.

The big guy thinks you're cute, and you're a buildable material.

So it is implied that if you are willing to go to bed, the character is yours.

The opportunity is given to you, it depends on whether you are willing to "struggle".

You think about it, grit your teeth and agree.

A few years later, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and you were afraid, afraid of being exposed, you were on the top by going to bed at that time, so you jumped out decisively and said that this big guy sexually assaulted you back then...

Of course, from the point of view of the will of both parties, it is unfair!

Someone will say something 'When you block the normal promotion channel and open a small door, then this kind of *** is not your willingness, but institutional oppression and exploitation. ’

The big guy invests hundreds of millions, and the crew serves you by hundreds or even thousands, and once the role is brilliant, the carp will turn into a dragon and change your life from then on.

Do you think this is "institutional oppression and exploitation"?

Then you can choose to refuse, some people squeeze their heads...

In a country where political donations are not enough to tax the rich and not to treat the common people.

Hollywood, this kind of free place, can really be described as rotten capitalism!

Putting aside personal morality, Zhang Junsheng still likes Harvey a lot!

Nothing else, "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", "The Pianist of the Sea", "Cinema Paradiso" were all pushed out by him!

The accuracy of this man's vision is staggering!

……

"The King's Speech is a work of art, with no visuals, no beauties, no costumes. You don't have to put on your glasses and hold your breath in front of the big screen for two hours and shout, this movie is not responsible for locking your eyeballs, not responsible for igniting your hormones, not responsible for substituting your emotions, it just blooms with 360-degree beauty without dead ends, like an epiphany blooming in the middle of the night, obviously quiet and without climax, but every second and every minute is an climax, graceful and luxurious need to be experienced in slow motion..."

What was Harvey saying to a film critic...

It's supposed to be selling your own movie...

Just as he was talking about it, a voice suddenly came from behind him:

"The King's Speech... I watched, a little mediocre, very typical drama, British Fan is too sufficient, if translated into Chinese, do you know how to translate?"

"How do you translate?"

"An important speech by the leader of the country!"

“… Haha..."

Harvey was furious, who is this horse?

Turning his head, he saw two Asians, and there was an innocent little plum standing next to him...
