"Congratulations. Scarlett came to Zhang Fan with two bottles of drinks, and Yan Yan said with a smile: "Congratulations on your film being nominated for twelve Oscars." ”

Ahead of the Golden Globe Awards, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences held a luncheon to announce the nominees for this edition of the Oscars. The slumdog millionaire, which is very much in line with the old men of the college, has won a whopping twelve nominations in one fell swoop!

These nominations include Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Adapted Screenplay and many other heavyweight awards.

In fact, before the list of nominees came out, well-informed people had already been informed of the specific content in advance. Zhang Fan has smashed tens of millions of dollars in front and back, and such a large investment can be heard for a long time even if he is thrown into the water, let alone spent on errands.

Many media have called this movie the dark horse of this year's Oscars. The so-called dark horse is just an unexpected spoiler, not a real main force. Unless it can be blacked to the end.

Hollywood's giants are not stupid, and they can also see Zhang Fan's ambitions. However, the perennial giant career has made them careless, and the giant companies themselves are not of the same mind. Even Disney and Twentieth Century Fox are helping Zhang Fan. But they didn't do nothing.

The reason why the slumdog millionaire is called a dark horse is because there is also a heavyweight film that rejuvenates!

This film produced by Paramount, directed by David Fincher, starring Brad Pitt, and joined by Cate Blanchett and other well-known actors is the big hit of this year's Oscars. The film won thirteen Oscar nominations in one go, and the limelight was immeasurable.

This is the hole card of several giant companies against Zhang Fan. After all, David Fincher is the director, Brad Pitt is the starring, plus an investment of up to 1500 million dollars and the operation of Paramount. They are very confident in this year's Oscars. As for Zhang Fan's slum millionaire, many people just think of it as a dark horse.

"Thank you. "It's not a formal reception, and you don't need to be well-dressed and gentlemanly. Zhang Fan casually held a water cup and chatted with Scarlett, "But it's still not as good as rejuvenation." ”

"The media is all taking Paramount's money, and only a fool would believe what they say. Scarlett, who was born as a child star, can be said to know very well how deep the water is here, "1500 million US dollars in production costs plus 100 million US dollars in publicity costs." With a global box office of just over $300 million, Paramount has long gone crazy. ”

It's a down-and-out failure, and there's nothing to save face. Even Paramount himself admits the failure of this work.

For film companies, they make movies just to make money. A total of almost 300 million yuan of investment was finally more than 300 million at the box office, which is simply a loss of vomiting blood!

You must know that not all of these box offices are taken away by film companies, and the theater chain will have to divide a large part of it, and the cost of overseas distribution will be even more expensive. Not to mention that the box office share in many places will be in arrears, and there will be more films that will be dragged to the sea.

Although there are other peripheral sales that can be exchanged for income, it is a pity that the peripheral income of films that do not do well at the box office has always been very small. And it will take a long time to gradually recycle. This movie made Paramount miserable.

In order to be able to recoup the investment as much as possible, Paramount had to reluctantly invest resources to win an Oscar for the film.

According to the past rules, films that can make a big success at the Oscars will get another chance to be released. This is the biggest easter egg of the Oscars, and it is also a wave of income with the help of the fame of the Oscar award. That's what Paramount thinks, and wants to use the blessing of this Oscar fame to attract more audiences to send money to subsidize losses.

"Will you vote for me?" Zhang Fan looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with a deep gaze.

"Of course. Although she is young, Scarlett is also one of the judges of the Oscars and has the right to vote. After hearing Zhang Fan's words, his smile was very bright: "I can also persuade some friends to vote for you." ”

Scarlett's news channels in Hollywood are very smooth, and she has long known that Zhang Fan has spent tens of millions of dollars for this Oscar!

Oscar PR activities are normal, it's something everyone knows. But it was the first time I had encountered such a crazy public relations person as Zhang Fan. The competition between various film companies for the Oscars is more for profit income. For example, the second round of screenings, the hot sales of merchandise, and the increase in the share price with TV stations and DVD distributors, etc.

To put it simply, the fight for the Oscars is a fight for interests. But Zhang Fan has thrown more money into it than he can reap. In this case, Scarlett naturally knows which side she should be on.

"And what do you want in return?" factional divisions exist everywhere, big or small. There are more than 6,000 Oscar judges around the world, divided into different factions. Someone with weight is able to exert influence over a larger number of judges. Someone like Scarlett has at least the ability to influence dozens or hundreds of votes. It's not much, but it's a reward.

"I'm very interested in what you're going to do next. Scarlett didn't hesitate at all, and directly said her request. Of course, she also knew that a few dozen votes were not so powerful, so she added a new price code: "If I can get an important role, I think we can have a deeper exchange." ”

Watching Scarlett stretch out her dexterous tongue and lick the corners of her mouth, she looked at Zhang Fan with silky eyes. The meaning of this seduction is self-evident.

Zhang Fan was stunned, he really didn't expect Scarlett to be so direct.

Scarlett is not tall, but her body proportions are perfect. And it has a wonderful body that is unique to European and American women. At the same time, Scarlett has a delicate face that is rare in Europe and the United States. The beautiful face is very much in line with the aesthetic views of the Orientals.

Of course, Zhang Fan wouldn't mind having a friendly match with a beautiful woman like Scarlett. It's just that this is a beautiful and intelligent woman. I don't mind using myself as a bargaining chip, but I want to get a lot of things.

After Zhang Fan pondered for a moment, he raised his head and looked at Scarlett, "Yes." ”

Zhang Fan himself is ready to invite Scarlett to join the filming of his upcoming new film series Avengers. After all, the classic role of Black Widow is almost tailor-made for Scarlett. At least among the people Zhang Fan knows so far, there is someone more suitable for this role than Scarlett.

Now that Scarlett has taken the initiative to invite cooperation, Zhang Fan will definitely not refuse.

The Golden Globes have not yet been officially awarded, and the Oscars have only announced the nominations. But Zhang Fan is already thinking about the work plan for the next year.

At the beginning of the year, Zhang Fan would return to Asia to carry out an intensive propaganda offensive to stabilize his reputation and status in Asia. After all, the Asian region is Zhang Fan's foundation, and without the huge popularity of the Asian region as the foundation, he will definitely not develop so smoothly in the United States.

Zhang Fan will shoot a TV series in Huaxia again, and the movie depends on whether there is enough time.

In Japan, a Hanzawa Naoki is enough for Zhang Fan not to need too much exposure in the short term, and the plan is to deepen the position of an album in the Japanese music market.

With the exception of China and Japan, there is not much to pay attention to in the rest of Asia. A few short-term trips are sufficient.

The promotional work in Asia will be carried out at the same time as the work in Hollywood.

After investing a huge amount of money and connections to get the Oscar, this kind of bonus is impossible for Zhang Fan to not see.

If the slum millionaires at the beginning were still mainly about making a name for themselves, then the next works in Hollywood must be mainly for profit. To put it simply, it's about making money.

There are a lot of money-making movies in the history of Hollywood, but if you want to say that the best and largest of the series of films must be Marvel's superhero series.

From the Iron Man series to the Captain America series, from the Thor series to the Hulk series. and the Avengers series, which finally brings all the heroes together.

In such a huge film world, each of them is a great harvest when taken out individually. Once they are all won, not to mention the terrifying peripheral revenues, the terrible box office revenue alone may be as high as tens of billions of dollars!

Zhang Fan never thought about eating alone, and he also knew that as an outsider, it would not end well if he wanted to eat alone in Hollywood. This is not the place to do charity. Sharing income with others is a given.

But even so, Zhang Fan can get billions of dollars of wealth in the predictable returns!

Billions of dollars! A crazy number that many people can hope for in their lifetime! Having this income means that they can enjoy endless prosperity and wealth in their lifetime!

Although there are still various difficulties in this journey, Zhang Fan believes that he will be able to achieve his goal!

After Zhang Fan and Scarlett reached an agreement, the atmosphere was obviously different.

Scarlett is not worried that Zhang Fan will regret it after taking advantage of herself, you must know that she is not a small role that can be manipulated at will.

As the sun sets, the party comes to an end. The guests in the front yard began to say goodbye and leave, but the paparazzi outside were extremely keenly aware that Zhang Fan, who was the protagonist, did not come out!

Absolutely big news!

The paparazzi were excited. Zhang Fan is a Hollywood upstart, and he is also a foreigner. Scarlett is one of Hollywood's hottest beauty stars, and the value of the scandal between the two is high enough for them to receive an extremely generous reward!

Stimulated by the green dollar, the paparazzi are crazy to get the relevant news. They even tried to climb over the fence and go in to take a sneak peek!

It's a pity that this is Beverly Hills, which is the most experienced in dealing with paparazzi!

The villa is very well hidden, and all the windows inside are curtained so that nothing can be photographed. As for climbing over the wall to get in, you need to risk your life, after all, if you invade private territory in the United States, you will likely be killed!

When the bodyguards expelled the surrounding paparazzi with cold faces, the ambiguous atmosphere in Scarlett's room was heating up!
