Although Minister Guo verbally said that Yang Ming was ghostly, he still had to admit in his heart that this young man's idea was indeed whimsical and unique.

There is a tradition of dedicating annual funds to the promotion of the country's culture abroad, and this trend has been increasing in recent years.

If you follow Yang Ming's suggestion, adjust the theme of foreign propaganda knowledge, and then change it a little, there is no need to make a big move.

In this way, there is a lot of room for operability for Minister Guo.

The most important point, that is, Yang Ming's last sentence, if the theme of the event promoted by the Ministry of Culture is combined with the film he is filming, it will achieve an effect greater than 1 plus 1.

If this sentence was put a year ago, it is estimated that no one would believe it, and they might even think that Yang Ming was completely bragging and talking big, and he didn't know how thick the sky was.

But no one would think that way now.

The success of "Transformers" is a living example of this, and in recent times, the top brass of the Ministry of Culture has heard from the military about the benefits of the film after its global release.

It not only consolidated the impression that the military is powerful and invincible, but also made foreign fans have great interest in the Chinese military, and improved the overall image of the Chinese military in a large range.

This kind of thing, in the past, the military spent countless money but did not succeed, but now no one thought that it would drive the traditional impression of the whole world on Chinese soldiers through a movie.

It's a very rare thing.

Therefore, Minister Guo is confident that the ministry will approve the suggestions put forward by Yang Ming.

That's not a bad thing anyway.

Sure enough, within two days, Minister Guo called Yang Ming and told him that the ministry had officially approved his proposal, asking Yang Ming to make the movie well and not drop the chain at a critical time.

Yang Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, and then patted his chest to promise that no one would be disappointed.

At the end of the call, Minister Guo revealed a piece of news, which made Yang Ming even more happy.

As long as the film "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" is really good, the Ministry of Culture will come forward to contact the European cinema company on behalf of Oriental DreamWorks, which will be the key promotion film of Chinese culture, and will also become the opening film of the Chinese Cultural Festival in France.

Hearing the news revealed by Minister Guo, Yang Ming almost didn't laugh out loud, this is really pie in the sky.

This welfare, in the previous life, was a national welfare that no domestic film company could enjoy, and with the influence of the Chinese government, it was impossible to achieve this point.

There is no way, who calls this world Huaxia the most powerful country on the earth.

From the Arctic to the Indian Ocean, from the Pacific Ocean to Central Asia, such a huge national territory, coupled with various Chinese countries in the Greater Chinese Cultural Zone of East Asia, makes China's influence penetrate into every corner of the world.

European countries, no matter how unwilling they are, have to lie under the coercion of China.

The cultural festival held by Huaxia in France is basically held once a year, and the major European media will pay attention to this event at that time.

Of course, in this, the Huaxia government will also spend a lot of money.

It can be said that once "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" will be the opening film of the French Chinese Cultural Festival, then this means that the promotion of Oriental Dreamworks, a film with the theme of the Three Kingdoms, will not have to worry about the promotion in Europe, and everything will be paid for by the state.

And there is no need for cinemas, when the time comes, whether the European cinema companies want to or not, they will have to arrange a certain number of cinemas to screen "Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms" under the dual pressure of politics and money.

For Oriental DreamWorks, it's really pie in the sky.

As far as Yang Ming knows, the last movie that was selected by the state as the theme of the cultural festival was at least ten years ago, and although the movie was not very good at the box office of local films at that time, it also made a lot of money abroad, and it was full of fat, which was simply **** luck.

It's a pity that after that time, there has never been a promotional ceremony with a film as the opening of the Chinese Cultural Festival in France.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Chinese films have been sluggish in recent years, even if some films have achieved good box office results, but these films are commercial blockbusters, which is not enough for the government to make a decision to use cultural festivals to promote films.

If it's "Transformers", it's possible.

Of course, first of all, "Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms" must be able to pass the review of the Ministry of Culture, so that they can think that this film is enough to support the cultural festival of Huaxia to promote the history and culture of the Three Kingdoms in Europe.

As for the quality of the movie "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", Yang Ming naturally has full confidence.

After he learned the news from Minister Guo, he immediately called a meeting of everyone in the crew, and after he told everyone in the crew the news, at the meeting.

Everyone at the scene couldn't help but be stunned, and then the staff couldn't help cheering.

Even Bao Guoan, Sun Yandong and other movie superstars and their powerful city governments, after hearing the news revealed by Yang Ming, they couldn't help but smile with joy on their faces.

Being able to be selected as the opening film of the cultural festival is definitely a godsend for their acting career.

These actors, actresses, and emperors are naturally very happy in their hearts.

Yang Ming urged everyone not to leak the news, and at the same time asked everyone to exert all their strength and not to drop the chain at a critical time.

If it fails to pass the review of the Ministry of Culture, it will be a big shame.

Inspired by this news, all the filming crew members are more motivated than before.

And at this time, the Academy Awards officially opened.

On the night of the official start of the Academy Awards, the eyes of countless media around the world converged to see what the final decision of those people was at the awards ceremony.

This suspense is also revealed tonight.

It's just that because of the news revealed by Minister Guo, Yang Ming no longer has the heart to take care of Oscar's affairs.

It's good to win an award, but it's not a big deal if you don't get it.

"Fans, audiences, the much-anticipated Academy Awards ceremony is about to begin, I think the things that everyone is most concerned about will come to light, whether that film genius from China can be the lucky one tonight, I think in another three hours, the suspense will be revealed. ”

"Dear viewers and friends, good morning, now we are broadcasting live for you the live award ceremony of the Academy Awards in the United States, in this Oscar Film Festival in the United States, my country's genius director Yang Ming directed and acted in "Transformers" has been nominated for 11 awards, including the best film nomination that everyone is very concerned about, "Transformers" Whether this film can become the fifth film in the world to win three awards at the same time, everything is still unknown, and the famous Professor XX will be invited to analyze the situation and form of nominations for major awards. ”

For this year's Academy Awards ceremony, whether it is in the United States, Europe and China, there are TV stations that choose to broadcast it live.

As in previous years, the United States basically often cooperates with TV stations that have live broadcast rights for live broadcasts, but in Europe and China, compared with previous years, at least twice as many TV stations choose to buy the copyright for live broadcasts.

Such a good thing, if it had been put in previous years, the Oscar Organizing Committee would have been happy.

This is simply a good thing for fame and fortune.

But this kind of good thing will be put into this year, and every member of the Oscars organizing committee will not have the slightest reason to be happy in their hearts, because they know that compared with previous years, there are so many live TV broadcasts, and it is because people are staring at the Oscars and want to see their good shows.

Regardless of the outcome, it is believed that after the awards ceremony, the global entertainment industry will be full of controversial news about the Academy Awards.

"Garth, is everything ready?"

In a room in a luxury hotel, Laurien asked leisurely.

"Mr. President, everything has been arranged according to your instructions. Garth replied with a respectful face.

When Laurien heard this, his eyes flashed from Garth, and then he nodded slowly, with a satisfied look in his eyes, and said, "Well, then you can go." ”

The final decision has been decided, and it is believed that the announcement of the result will inevitably cause controversy among the media at home and abroad.

He knew that no matter what the outcome, the Oscars would attract doubts and controversy.

There is no way, the old man has no choice but to make the most beneficial choice for Oscar, and afterwards through various means to minimize the impact of the matter, so that Oscar can avoid being affected by the major influences as much as possible.

Thinking of this, a hint of fierceness flashed in Laurien's old eyes, and he murmured: "Jerome, you old fellow, don't think that this can stop me." ”

The old man clearly realized in his heart that the biggest threat to Oscar was not the movie "Transformers" in the focus of public opinion, nor the Chinese genius who shot this movie.

Rather, it is the European media that has been fueling the scenes behind the scenes, and all kinds of small actions have emerged one after another.

Or rather, it's just a good thing done by the people at the Cannes Film Festival.

Even if "Transformers" won the little golden man this time, it became a huge honor for the other party's three awards, but this is only a temporary failure, for Hollywood, the influence of Chinese movies will always have a layer of cultural barrier.

As long as they are willing, Chinese films will never be able to make waves in the rice film market.

But that part of Europe is different.

is also a white race, and in terms of values, it is basically born of a mother, and for Oscar, the mortal enemy is always the leaf of Cannes, not the little golden dragon of China.

Time passed quickly, and after a while, Laurien left the hotel and headed to the Huaxia Grand Theater.

The scene of the Academy Awards.

When Laurien arrived at the Huaxia Grand Theater, he found a person surrounded by several people, who seemed to be eagerly discussing something.

Because of his age and body, the old man's eyes were not very good, and when he approached, he saw who this person who was surrounded by everyone affectionately and communicated, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes revealed an incomprehensible complex look.

At this time, some reporters saw Laurien coming, and they all took microphones and cameras and wanted to come over to interview the chairman, but under the obstruction and arrangement of the bodyguards around him, the old man quickly got out and left.

Today he does not give any interviews.

It's just that when he just got out, with the support of the people around him, he just walked out not far.

The people who were surrounded also pulled away and walked over, and couldn't help but see Laurien, and then his face was slightly stunned, and then he returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Mr. Laurien, it's an honor to meet you." ”

"Hmm. Laurien nodded with a flat expression, his status in Hollywood was beyond doubt, "I heard that you did a very good job in the film company owned by that young Chinese man, Barber." ”

Greeting Laurien was naturally Barber, who came to represent Oriental DreamWorks and Yang Ming.

As the head of the Hollywood branch of Oriental DreamWorks, all the company's affairs in the United States are basically decided by him.

This time, Yang Ming did not come to attend the Academy Awards ceremony in person because of the filming of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", and Liu Xinsheng didn't come over after thinking about it, so Barber came over on behalf of the company.

"Oriental DreamWorks is just a young company, and with a low start, it will naturally improve its performance. Bobble said calmly.

As an old man in Hollywood, when he was at the helm of Pan American Entertainment, he had a lot of dealings with Laurien, and he was naturally no stranger to the character of the president of the Academy Award jury and the director of the film school.

Bobble knows Laurien, and Laurien is also very familiar with Bobble's temper, and he talks to Bobble as he walks.

Laurien said casually: "Your young boss, time is really money by the second, too tight, I couldn't invite him to attend today, but it was really a mistake of our organizing committee, I wanted to explain the stupid decision of some of our jury in person." ”

When Barber heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and then he pretended to be flat and glanced at the old guy beside him, and said: "Oh, Yang is now shooting an epic historical blockbuster, this movie is very valued by the high-level in Huaxia, so he may be a little nervous in terms of timing, for this shooting, he didn't even attend the Golden Dragon Award." ”

The expressions of the two talking seemed to be the chat between two good friends, which seemed to be as calm as water, but the confrontation between the words between the two did not stop for a moment.

There is only one meaning in Laurien's words just now, that is, Yang Ming is so young, this frame is too big, right? Since he wants to win three awards at the same time, he doesn't attend the Oscars in person, this is simply a provocation to the Oscars.

To be honest, Laurien didn't mean to deliberately make things difficult for Yang Ming.

There is an unwritten rule in the three major film festivals, that is, the winner must be present in person to receive the award, otherwise there is only one result.

But now Yang Ming just arranged for a random person to come over on behalf of the company, which made Oscar naturally dissatisfied.

Even if they want to make a decision in favor of Yang Ming, this shelf is too big, right?

However, Barber also quickly gave an explanation, Yang Ming didn't want to come, but he couldn't come, it was completely due to the high-level officials of the Huaxia government, and he really didn't have time to participate in the Oscars.

And even their own Golden Dragon Award was received by others, so it is not that they deliberately did not come to the Oscars.

As for why Yang Ming did not attend this year's Academy Awards, Barber has already explained to the public through media public relations that he will not tolerate such a low-level mistake.

Let others attack Yang Ming with this handle.
