Chapter 351 The upcoming "Double Treasure Fighting Demon"
The Oscar nominations announcement party ended quickly.
Peng Yichen and everyone held a party to celebrate the finalists in the hotel that had been booked for a long time.
At the party, Robinov introduced Peng Yichen to many traditional Hollywood filmmakers.
This will help with the next step of "Life is Beautiful" Oscar PR efforts.
Although Peng Yichen is not used to this kind of fake and polite social entertainment, he knows that this is what every successful filmmaker must face.
You can remind yourself not to indulge in such drunken social interactions, but you can never get rid of them completely.
This is also one of the main reasons why Peng Yichen pursues box office success.
Only the success of his work can give him more say and allow him to participate in such annoying social and public activities as little as possible.
Of course, he was still very surprised and relieved that "Life is Beautiful" was nominated for four Oscars.
It's just that now his mood has become unusually calm.
After countless years of experience in the plot world, his current psychological quality and bearing are not inferior to any top big names in the world.
Although "Life is Beautiful" has achieved phased success, there is still a long way to go. The next step for him, the most important thing is to take advantage of the popularity of "Beautiful Life" to be successfully shortlisted for the Oscar this time, and arrange for "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" to be released in North America as soon as possible.
The party didn't last long, and Peng Yichen and Yu Jing quickly returned to their hotel to rest.
At the same time, the news that "Life is Beautiful" was shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film has already excited countless Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean.
At the end of last year, when Peng Yichen announced that he wanted to "conquer the Oscars", almost no one was optimistic that he would win the award, and even everyone thought that it would be difficult for him to be nominated.
But now Peng Yichen has created a miracle again.
As a Chinese-language film, "Life is Beautiful" actually received four nominations at the Oscars.
This almost broke the record for the number of nominations for a foreign-language film at the Oscars.
What makes fans even more excited is that the directors who were nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film before Huaxia are all middle-aged or even elderly.
Lee An, who finally won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, was over 50 years old when he won the award.
And Peng Yichen, a young man who is only 26 years old, was even just an ordinary college student in the Wuzhou Film and Television Base more than 5 years ago who couldn't even pay the rent.
Now, in just five years, he has become an "international director" nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
This huge contrast and miraculous success have raised the admiration and envy of countless fans and audiences to a peak.
What's even more exciting is that as long as Peng Yichen doesn't die, at his age, there will definitely be a brighter future.
On Weibo, countless film professionals are analyzing the reasons for the success of "Life is Beautiful". Countless fans are expressing their love for Peng Yichen.
The whole of Huaxia seems to be boiling over this young man and his movie.
Of course, what they discussed the most was the attribution of the final Oscar awards.
You must know that from now on, the final vote for the final Oscar award will be 20 days later.
More than 6,000 judges will make a final selection of all Oscar winners before the ceremony begins in May.
And this short period of 20 days is the final sprint moment for each company's public relations.
Huaxia fans are discussing how many Oscars Peng Yichen can win.
But only those Chinese filmmakers who know something about the Oscars know that the real showdown has just begun.
From the moment the nominees were announced, the PR teams of Legendary Pictures and Chen Jing Films, who were in charge of public relations, began to feel tremendous pressure.
Because they also faced an almost invincible opponent at this time - Bix, the president of Time Warner.
You know, although "Life is Beautiful" was successfully shortlisted for the four Oscar nominations.
But the most crucial award is the award for Best Foreign Language Film.
And the most direct competitor of this award is the Argentine film "Mysterious Eyes" that Hua Na is now promoting.
This is a literary film made by a white director in Argentina and the mainstream consciousness of the West.
And the Wall Street forces behind Hollywood are precisely the white conglomerates dominated by Anglo-Saxons.
It can be said that in Hollywood, apart from the power of the Jews, the power of the white elite is the real mainstream.
If "Life is Beautiful" and "Mysterious Eyes" are of similar quality, then who will the white jury vote for?
The answer to this question seems to be very clear.
Therefore, even though it was nominated for four Oscars, Robinov and Denzel were still not optimistic that "Life is Beautiful" would eventually win the Best Foreign Language Film award.
In their opinion, under the public relations offensive of Time Huana, in the end, "Beautiful Life" can win any one of the other three awards among the four nominations, which is considered a success.
Therefore, they all focused their work on the release and distribution of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons".
Only Peng Yichen is still following up the work of the Oscar public relations team every day.
Immediately after the announcement of the Oscar nominations, it is the most important summer of the year in the North American film market.
In North America, because of the long vacation time of students, the schedule usually starts nearly a month earlier than the summer vacation in China.
In other words, at the end of April and the beginning of May, the summer season in North America basically began.
As an important film schedule for the release of commercial blockbusters in North America.
The summer season in North America almost means big scenes, audio-visual shocks, top stars, and various movie-related activities.
It can be said that this is the most precious schedule in North America, and almost all of Hollywood's most exciting entertainment movies throughout the year will be released in the summer.
In North America, low-budget movies often choose to be released during the Easter and Christmas schedules, just to avoid colliding with summer blockbusters and finally becoming box office cannon fodder.
Of course, this year's summer vacation in North America is also very popular. Take a look at what new films are coming out in North America in May.
There is the magical action movie "Prince of Persia: The Edge of Time" adapted from the game by Desini,
The action comedy film "Agent Integrate" with Lionsgate investment
There is 21st Century Foucus Investment, starring Hollywood top superstars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz "Dangerous Spy War".
and Sony Columbia's Agent Sauter.
In addition, blockbusters such as "Twilight 3: Lunar Eclipse", which has been a hit in the past two years, the classic animated feature film series "Toy Story 3", and the magic movie "The Wizard's Apprentice" will all be released in the summer.
And when the summer season of April 7 was about to arrive, but it didn't come, for North American filmmakers and film critics, there was a small-budget movie that aroused their interest.
That is, in New York, Los Angeles and other first-tier cities of Star Flag Country, there are only 50 screens of the Chinese movie "Double Treasure Fighting Demons".
And when filmmakers and film critics who didn't receive invitations or free tickets went to theaters where the film was released to buy tickets, they were surprised to find that in Los Angeles and all the other theaters where the film was scheduled to be shown.
The tickets for this movie were all sold out early.
The popularity of this movie has far exceeded the estimation of all filmmakers in the Star Flag Country from the beginning.
