Don't blame the reporters for gossiping, because that's what they do.

Besides, this is a good opportunity, there are too many news points on Zhang Chu, which is much more exciting than those celebrities' cookie-cutter and boring characters!

Just leak a little news from between your fingers and you can be on the hot search.

Who makes Zhang Chu's works and the projects adapted from them are eye-catching, and they are all mysterious.

Obviously, "The Da Vinci Code" was announced to be completed in May, but after such a long time, there was no movement on Disney's side, and the posters and trailers were all gone.

What's even more coincidental is that Zhang Chu is the co-producer of the movie!

"Today is the premiere of Life Pi, I hope everyone will pay more attention to this film, and the rest of the topics will have a chance to talk about later. ”

Zhang Chu was surrounded by microphones from different media in front of him, and he politely declined with a smile on his face.

Without communicating with Disney's publicity department in advance, it is easy to disrupt the rhythm of other people's propaganda if you casually disclose inside information.

Of course, the reporters were full of regret, and some people asked: "Then did you know in advance about Hu Ge's appearance in the movie? Is the role of the writer in the movie a portrayal of yourself?"

This is a question related to "Life of Pi", also in the live broadcast channel of Weibo, there are hundreds of thousands of people waiting for his answer.

Fortunately, Zhang Chu did not disappoint these people: "I knew it when I was casting, but the crew didn't want to interfere with the outside world." As for what the role he plays, you can go to the cinema to check it, the writer is a virtual character, not me. ”

At the beginning, Li Yu didn't want to receive excessive attention from the domestic entertainment industry when he was casting, so he didn't choose an audition at all in private, but found photos of Chinese actors of the right age for comparison, and then chose a person with good acting skills, personal image, and spoken English for private contact.

The domestic media all thought that Li Yu would hand over the role of a writer to Hollywood actors, and the agents did not fight for this role, otherwise if he came to tear it up publicly, Hu Ge would definitely not be able to get this, after all, the Tang people are equivalent to invisible in the film field.

Now those actors and the agency behind them are estimated to regret it, they should have found it in the first place, maybe this is the springboard to Hollywood!

As a member of the entertainment industry, almost every actor wants to go to Hollywood for development, and no one wants to stop in China to mix variety shows, this is the difference between Yanque and Honghu.

In addition to this, Zhang Chu didn't reveal anything, almost all of them were official.

When he saw another celebrity couple walking hand in hand on the red carpet, he fled from the reporters with a sense of relief, and walked towards the screening room.

This screening hall is large enough to accommodate 500 people watching the movie at the same time, with an area of nearly 700 square meters, even if you sit in the back, you can see it, it belongs to the real big screen!

Anmi and the others have already sat in the middle position, each with a 3D glasses, and they are chatting around at this time, and they did not go to those stars to ask for a group photo and an autograph.

"The reporters let you in so soon?" Zhou Kang asked curiously.

Zhang Chu shook his head, "How is it possible! They have countless questions. But my feet are on me, and if I want to go, I will naturally leave. Is Director Li Yu here?"

Zhou Kang pointed to the front, where Li Yu, who was a little short, was taking pictures with several bay stars with a smile on his face, many of whom were familiar faces.

Since you are here, you must go over and say hello, otherwise it will be too rude.

"Good evening, Director Li. ”

"I thought you wouldn't be there today, because you weren't the only one we had when we premiered at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Li Yu smiled very elegantly and shyly, and her white hair was particularly eye-catching.

Zhang Chu spread his hands and said: "As a student, you can't keep asking for leave, and now the premiere will of course come over at your doorstep." ”

The rest of the people didn't know this unfamiliar face, and thought it was a fan who came to take a group photo, but they didn't expect to be so familiar with Li Yu.

To be honest, the identity of the original author and screenwriter may be relatively clear to the crew members, but it is basically difficult to recognize from the outside world.

Li Yan looked at the noisy environment around him and whispered: "I have good news for you, Warner Bros. is going to spend $8 million for "Life of Pi", and my production company will also contribute some funds. It's a complicated situation right now, our film has received a lot of praise in North America, and many people in the industry think that the script has a chance to be nominated, if you or your company is willing to go to PR. ”

Every year, film studios that aim to win the Olympics will invest more than 100 million US dollars in Oscar public relations, of course they are not philanthropists, and they must want to earn 200 million yuan by investing 100 million!

Any film nominated for an Oscar will usher in a leap forward in terms of box office, DVD sales, on-demand costs, etc.

"Life of Pi" was deliberately chosen to be released in this time period in order to get a piece of the pie during the awards season, although it is a commercial blockbuster, but it is a work with connotation and significance, which is what the Oscars like.

Now the ratings and discussion of the Oscars are declining, because the films nominated every year are basically relatively niche, as long as there is a popular and popular film in any past year, the Oscar judges will not hesitate to vote in their hands, and will send it to the list of nominees, even if it is to accompany the whole process!

The public needs this type of movie, so they don't want to watch "Moonlight" win the best picture, but want to see how many awards "Titanic" can win among the twelve nominations.

Hitting the Oscars does not mean going directly to it, but accumulating momentum in the rest of the awards in a roundabout way, and then winning the nomination logically, not directly parachuting.

For example, the biggest weather vane of the Oscars - the Golden Globe Awards, all films that aspire to the Oscars will appear at the Golden Globe Awards, wanting to win the Golden Globe Awards.

It is true that the production company will enjoy the lion's share of the benefits, but it also requires the cooperation of various departments.

For example, now Warner Bros. wants two awards for Best Picture and Best Director, but the actor and actress have no hope at all, after all, the actor is an Indian newcomer, and the heroine has no at all.

And in order to get the best film, then it needs the support of the rest of the awards, and it is impossible to be a light commander, such as the best editing, the best adapted screenplay, the best cinematography, the best original soundtrack, the best art direction, and so on.

Li Yu is already a veteran who has participated in many Hollywood award seasons, from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film at the North American box office of 100 million, to "Brokeback Mountain" won Best Director, he basically understands these rules.

"You mean the award for Best Adapted Screenplay? But I didn't even make it to the Writers Guild of America, will these people vote for me?"

Of course, Zhang Chu hopes to nominate or even win the award, but it seems that the chances are indeed very small!
