Chapter 375: The First Step to Conquer Oscar
Seeing the performance Chinese of red carpet host Jennifer, fans on the Internet in Huaxia have already scolded.
Everyone felt at this time that Hollywood people were squeezing out and hostile to Peng Yichen and his movies. In fact, they don't know that the reason why Jennifer did this is mainly because Huana Bix used up the last bit of connections and wanted to stop Peng Yichen at the Oscars.
Other Hollywood studios have long changed their attitude towards Peng Yichen. Of course, the attitude of Chinese fans did not affect the atmosphere of the red carpet at this time.
Jennifer still pretended to be excited, constantly interviewing the crew who walked on the red carpet one by one. The scene was still deserted, as if this was not the world's top film awards ceremony.
Just when everyone thought that this Oscars red carpet show was so weird and deserted, something suddenly happened that shocked all the people of the Star Flag country.
I saw only a stretch sedan driving to the entrance of the red carpet. A pair of beautiful people stepped out of the car, it was Peng Yichen and Yu Jing wearing Tang costumes and cheongsams.
They were followed by the other creators of "Life is Beautiful". Without any psychological preparation for all the Star Flag people at the scene, the entire red carpet area suddenly erupted in earth-shattering cheers and shouts.
The sound was like the roar of a giant beast from the desolation. The whole neighborhood trembled with the sound.
Many people in the Star Banner country even had the illusion that the Huaxia Theater seemed to be collapsing in the midst of this cheer.
When they woke up from the tsunami-like sound, they discovered the real reason for the terrible sound.
It turned out that Chinese fans were welcoming the crew of "Beautiful Life". …… The reason for the incomparably deserted red carpet today has finally been found, that is, Peng Yichen has too many fans, and all the fans of other crews have been squeezed out of the red carpet area.
At the same time, in China, countless filmmakers and fans sitting in front of the TV and computer, full of anticipation, are waiting with anticrative expectations for the crew of "Beautiful Life" to walk on the red carpet.
The camera suddenly turned, no longer focusing on the red carpet, but followed the crew of "Bomb Disposal Unit" into the Oscars venue.
The host also began to introduce the history of the Oscars and some other trivia. And Peng Yichen, who just walked on the red carpet, and the crew of "Beautiful Life" didn't give a single ...... shot?
At this moment, all the Chinese around the world are angry, which is clearly deliberately targeting Peng Yichen and "Beautiful Life"!
Now, even in the live broadcast of Huaxia's China Television, there is no live footage of Peng Yichen and the crew of "Beautiful Life" on the red carpet.
Fortunately, the director of China Television has rich experience, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he quickly cut the picture to the movie promotional video of "Beautiful Life".
But even so, the number of Chinese people around the world watching the Oscars dropped by 45% in an instant.
You must know that the live broadcast rights of Oscar have been controlled by AB TV for many years, which means that the live broadcast signals of all other media are bought from AB TV.
At the award ceremony, all other media are only allowed to record live footage, and are not allowed to transmit live signals.
Therefore, as long as AB does not broadcast the pictures on the red carpet live, the only way for all other media is to broadcast the captured pictures in the back in the form of delayed recording and broadcasting.
In the Weibo live broadcast room, the host Lu Yu and the guest Zhao Jianguo were also a little stunned to find that the live broadcast of the red carpet suddenly disappeared.
Lu Yu hurriedly explained to netizens: "It seems that there is a little problem with the live broadcast signal ahead, please don't be impatient, it should be a technical problem." But Zhao Jianguo, who is an old Jianghu, saw the cattiness inside, and with his temper, he couldn't help it at all, and sprayed directly at the camera: "I don't think this is a technical problem at all! For this Oscars live broadcast, AB TV has prepared at least 3 spare live broadcast lines and 3 sets of related live broadcast equipment. If it is a technical problem, it can be solved in a maximum of 2 seconds. But you see, it's been almost a minute now, and there is still no sign of a live red carpet on the screen. This is completely the Hollywood companies, behind the scenes, deliberately targeting us Chinese filmmakers. These grandsons!!" Although Lu Yu was also very angry in her heart, she represented the official attitude of Weibo, and she couldn't just talk about it like Zhao Jianguo.
She hurriedly interrupted Zhao Jianguo's words and explained: "What Teacher Zhao just said is just a possibility, and we can't judge what the truth is...... The above views do not represent the official position of Weibo. "This time, Zhao Jianguo really wronged most of the Hollywood companies.
There is only one real mastermind behind the scenes, and that is Bix. He used his network resources to buy off the director and host of AB TV.
is to give Peng Yichen and the crew of "Beautiful Life" a dismount. If it was in the past, of course he wouldn't do such a childish thing that didn't do any good.
After all, the results of the Oscars came out as early as a few days before the awards ceremony. No matter how much he does now, he can't affect the final result.
However, when people are faced with a major crisis, they often lose their former calmness and sanity. Bix clearly had a premonition that he was about to be doomed.
At a time when domestic fans and filmmakers were scolding AB TV, Toriel, the head of AB TV's Oscar live broadcast project, was frantically insulting his live director on the phone.
Just now, AB TV's ratings in North America dropped by 2.2% in an instant. Don't think that this number is small, you must know that at least more than 50 million viewers in North America are watching the Oscars live at this time, and every percentage point drop in ratings is about equivalent to the loss of more than half a million viewers.
What's even more terrifying is that at the moment when Peng Yichen's camera was cut off, more than 7 TV stations in Asia called AB and asked them to leave and transfer Peng Yichen's footage in.
Because there are countless fans there who actually call the TV station to complain, and there are also advertisers who threaten them.
If the TV station does not broadcast Peng Yichen's footage, they are likely to withdraw the sponsorship and advertising fees for this Oscar broadcast.
This made Toriel, the vice president of AB who didn't know what was going on, almost go crazy. He doesn't know what magic this Asian director named Peng Yichen has, he only knows that if he doesn't make changes, then this Oscar live broadcast with ratings exceeding the highest record in history is likely to be smashed in his own hands.
If that happens, he, the vice president, will probably be able to do it. So he made a quick decision and immediately called the live broadcast site, and directly removed the director who was responsible for the command on the scene and replaced it with another backup director.
Then the dog blood spray head that had just cut off the director of Peng Yichen's picture and scolded him. In the end, he was even not at ease, and personally commanded the reporters of AB TV who were in charge of the on-site interview, dragged Peng Yichen and the crew of "Beautiful Life", and interviewed them more.
is to make up for the missing part of the red carpet just now. In fact, when he just walked on the Oscar red carpet, Peng Yichen also felt that the atmosphere was wrong.
He clearly saw that on the cameras responsible for live broadcast on the sidelines, the red prompt light used to indicate that the live broadcast was being broadcast was all turned off.
Except for a few Chinese media who took pictures of themselves again, the flashing lights of other media seemed to be blind.
But listening to the earth-shattering Chinese cheers at the scene: "Peng Yichen! Look here!"
"Peng Yichen, I love you!"
"Yu Jing, I'm your fan!"
"Xiao Wang Qing, you are so cute!" Peng Yichen, Yu Jing, and other crew members all felt excited, and they no longer paid attention to the strangeness of the live broadcast camera.
Peng Yichen and Yu Jing are also familiar with walking the red carpet, and they pulled Xiao Wang Qing along the audience isolation belt by the red carpet.
As you walk, you wave to your fans. Everywhere they walked, the fans in Huaxia were all extremely excited.
Some young Chinese female fans even cried excitedly when they saw Peng Yichen waving at them.
Just when Peng Yichen thought that there was no reporter to interview them, he was about to take the crew directly into the Huaxia Theater.
Suddenly, a group of reporters from AB TV rushed to the front of the reporter interview area, and they shouted frantically: "Hey, Director Peng, please look here!"
"Director Peng, do you think there is a big chance of winning "Beautiful Life" this time?"
"Director Peng, is this beautiful girl next to you your wife? May I ask if you fell in love because you played husband and wife in "Beautiful Life"?" It can be seen that they don't know much about Peng Yichen's situation, but the seriousness of interviewing him is more enthusiastic than interviewing those top Hollywood stars who have just walked by.
This made Peng Yichen and Yu Jing even more confused. But the reporters are so enthusiastic, Peng Yichen can't answer a single question.
.. Just there and answered a few questions. When they were ready to go inside, they suddenly found that all the live cameras were turned on again.
The flashing lights of countless reporters began to flicker again. Peng Yichen and the crew of "Beautiful Life" instantly seemed to have become the darlings of the media in the Star Flag Country again, and reporters kept asking them to stop and take pictures of them.
They were stunned to stay on the red carpet for more than ten minutes before they successfully walked into the theater. It wasn't until they walked into the theater that the vice president of AB, who had already arrived at the scene, slowly exhaled.
Just when Peng Yichen was interviewed by AB reporters, the camera of the live broadcast finally returned to the red carpet and aimed directly at Peng Yichen and Yu Jing who were being interviewed.
At the same time, the North American ratings of Oscar Live instantly rose by 3%. The number of viewers worldwide has also increased to a staggering 500 million.
At this point, the vice president of AB completely strengthened his idea. The live broadcast of this Oscars Gala must closely follow Peng Yichen's ratings
