Chapter 549: Review
The British Academy Film Awards, which is a film award awarded by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, is similar to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards, which is often referred to as the Oscars.
Anyway, when Gan Jing first learned about this award, his first reaction was that it was indeed worthy of being commonly known as the British and Austrian, and even the name was quite similar.
If a single round of popularity, not to mention the Oscars, most people in China are more familiar with the Golden Globe Awards, which are known as the vane of the Oscars.
But when it comes to gold content...... The organizer of the Golden Globe Awards is the Foreign Press Association in Hollywood, and the members of this organization are foreigners working in the American film media, and there are no more than 100 members in total, and many of them are part-time, as can be seen from the awards selected by them.
When participating in public relations in the United States in March this year, Zhou Dongyu once asked Gan Jing a question, why is the Golden Globe Awards so well-known?
At that time, Gan Jing had already had an in-depth understanding of the operation of Warner's public relations, and he liked to know what it was and why, so the answer he gave was quite convincing.
- "In the first three months of the year in the United States, hundreds of awards of all sizes will be awarded in the film and television industry, and only the Golden Globe Awards are close enough to the Oscars, and the general awards are not broadcast on TV and awards ceremonies. The Golden Globes with this provide room for influence and PR action......"
The facts have also proved that this is the case, when Gan Jing attended the Golden Globe Awards dinner, he felt that it was not like an awards dinner at all, but more like a social party, with people from all walks of life mixed in, you public relations me, I public relations you.
After all, lobbying is legitimate, and money comes first.
Relatively speaking, the rigor of Britain and Austria is higher, and in the traditional sense, the British seem to be more rigid and serious than the Americans, and most of the famous British actors around the world have dry goods, which should not be underestimated.
"Brother Gan, this is an invitation from British director Rocky, do you want to turn down the refusal?" Xiao Wu held an invitation letter he had just received.
How else to say that the British are rigid and serious, if it were an American director, he would probably find Forrest Gump's phone first, and then make a direct phone call to give an invitation, and the British here actually give an invitation letter at this kind of private banquet?
Gan Jing pushed away not the first letter, he glanced at the name on the invitation, and just wanted to say "as usual", but suddenly felt that he had an impression of the name.
"You help me look up his work. ”
Xiao Wu responded and left.
Gan Jing misses Andy's work style a little at the moment, if it is his agent, he must give himself background information before handing over the invitation.
After about ten minutes, Xiao Wu walked over with a notebook.
"Brother Gan, he is a realistic director, and his works have always been aimed at the bottom of society. Xiao Wu looked at the information on the screen and introduced, "It is said that it is the conscience of British films." Oh yes, he holds a Cannes record with 11 nominations in the main competition. ”
Gan Jing turned his head in some surprise: "Hey, 11 times? This old man is too favored and loved by Cannes, right? ”
Maybe it's because it was his first actor trophy, even if he won it alongside others, Gan Jing still cherishes the Cannes experience, although ...... Although the Cannes trophy has already been auctioned off at its own charity dinner...... But cherishing and cherishing is what you put in your heart and drop in your eyes.
"This old man has to see it, so I have to meet these 11 shortlists. Gan Jing shook his head, "Accompany this old man tonight, receive the award tomorrow, and then walk around London for a few days." ”
Xiao Wu exclaimed: "Won't we go back to China after receiving the award?" Isn't there still "Beijing Meets Seattle"?"
Gan Jing sniffed: "Listening to you say this, this Yingao really seems to be predetermined, and he has received the award...... How do you know I'm going to win the prize? Eh, I remember that I was going to rest, but in the blink of an eye, there were so many things, really. ”
It's April, and it's been a third of 2013, and I'm not idle to relax, nor have I saved up the yellow-skinned protagonist script well, and I've seriously deviated from the plan!
"I have confidence in Brother Gan, we even won the Oscar, let alone a British Oscar!" Xiao Wu smiled and patted a sycophant.
Gan Jing exhaled and ignored him, wondering what such an old man, known as the "conscience of British films", invited him to do?
Could it be that there is a charismatic character that must be interpreted with such a handsome face?
Well, he's the right guy.
A little later, Gan Jing contacted the British branch of Givenchy, who was dedicated to serving him 24 hours a day, and got an extremely formal evening dress, which was classical and elegant, and it was difficult to hide.
The old man sent an invitation so formally, so he dressed up seriously.
At a quarter past eight, Gan Jing left the hotel and drove straight to the banquet venue.
After about half an hour of driving, he arrived at his destination, but as soon as he got off the car, Gan Jing felt that something was not right, he turned his head and asked Xiao Wu: "Do I have a temperament to wear?"
A dress designed by a famous Givenchy artist, with a proportionate fit, with the new Oscar winner, it can't be more temperamental.
"No words. Xiao Wu bared his teeth and smiled.
Gan Jing nodded and walked forward, while Xiao Wu followed behind with an invitation.
The road was smooth, but also tangled all the way, and when he met Ken Lodge, a gray-haired old man, Gan Jing was a little helpless to hear the evaluation.
"Haha, Forrest Gump, sorry, I didn't write it clearly, it was just a very ordinary wine banquet. Rocky smiled and shook Forrest Gump's hand.
The people around him were dressed in some more casual suits, only Gan Jing, only Gan Jing was a silk lapel tuxedo, a white bow tie, a white tank top, a wing-necked white shirt and matching pants, black dress stockings, and finally a pair of black Oxford shoes.
This kind of dress is the most formal, and it is also recommended by Givenchy stylists, as the most native British, Rocky naturally sees it at a glance.
"Hey, old man, this isn't to see you. Gan Jinglai came, wore them all, and could take off the stockings on his jumper, so he had to smile and say, "I like your work very much." ”
Rocky has gray hair, age spots on his face, and his eyes are very clear, and he quipped, "Have you really seen my work?"
He didn't wait for Forrest Gump to answer this embarrassing question, so he smiled and said: "I've seen your film, I like it very much, and because of this, my friends in Cannes have ventilated, and it just so happens that you are coming to London this time, and I will invite you on my behalf." ”
Be willing to concentrate on your mind and listen attentively.
"Would you like to be the president of the jury for the main competition in Cannes?"
