Chapter 112: Public Relations Focus
Bill Dorothy thought about it, but shook his head.
"Personally, I'm not very optimistic about Miss Gong Li's awards season, if we can focus on the PR Golden Globe Awards, I'm still sure that she will get the actress, but..."
"It's okay, I think the Golden Globe is already very good. ”
Shen Lin hurriedly interrupted Bill.
Bill obviously has some special feelings for Gong Li, and actually fantasizes about helping the goddess get an Oscar statuette!
How dare you think!
Even Shen Lin dared to think that it would be great to get the nomination.
"Then we give up on the Oscars?"
Bill frowned, not very satisfied with Shen Lin's decision.
"I can't say give up, it's best to get a nomination, as for whether we can win the award, let's not pay too much attention to it, after all, this year's actresses are very competitive!"
Shen Lin flipped through the "Los Angeles Morning News" next to him, "Look at it, Brie Larson has won five Best Actress in Film Critics Associations for "Room", and Charlotte Lamplin has also won three for "Forty-Fifth Anniversary", in comparison, Gong Li's odds are too low..."
To tell the truth, Gong Li's ability to win the Best Actress award from the Boston Film Critics Association has surprised Shen Lin.
After all, the Boston Film Critics Association is one of the top three film critics associations in North America in terms of credibility and authority.
"Then the focus of our PR is on the best foreign language film and the best supporting actress?"
Bill asked tentatively.
"Well, it's better to get me a nomination for Best Director, even if it's definitely not an award. ”
Shen Lin nodded, and added a request by the way.
Bill lowered his head and fell into deep thought, Shen Lin suddenly had a bad idea, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"Actually, it's not very likely that we'll get the best foreign language film..."
Bill Dorothy said a piece of news that made Shen Lin a little painful.
"After all, this year is the 70th anniversary of the anti-fascist movement, and "Son of Saul" is the most popular among the Oscar judges in terms of genre, reflecting the story of the Nazi concentration camp, and more importantly, it tells the story of the Jewish disaster!"
“… But so far, several major film critics associations, they have awarded "Carol" the best foreign language film, and I still think that "Carol" has a significantly higher chance than "Son of Saul", and in terms of film critics and public reputation, we are much higher than "Son of Saul"..."
Shen Lin was obviously a little out of shape.
How can you say such a far-fetched reason
"Hehe, Shen Lin, you yourself often say that Chinese films have circles, but in fact, the North American film industry has been controlled by Jews from beginning to end, especially the Oscars..."
Bill Dorothy didn't say much, Shen Lin already understood.
I've been a little too rampant lately, and I actually forgot about "Son of Saul", which shined at the Oscars in 16!
It shouldn't be.
The key is that he is still pretending to be forced in front of the people of the whole country, saying 'Golden Horse doesn't recognize me, it's okay, I have Oscar...', now it's okay, the Oscar journey is about to fail!
"Bill, tell me the truth, in terms of supporting actress, what is Zhao's chance?"
Shen Lin glanced at Zhao Liying, who had been wanting to speak, and suddenly his heart moved, and he asked Bill again.
"This... I'm only forty percent sure, this year's Kate Winslet is very popular, after all, her performance in "Steve Jobs" is obvious to all, and more importantly, Leonardo DiCaprio is likely to win the little gold man this year, and the Oscars in order to promote the beautiful talks, it is estimated that they will intentionally or unintentionally hint to the judges to reunite the golden boy and girl, for the sake of ratings, I estimate that these judges will also vote for Kate. ”
Bill Dorothy explained apologetically to Shen Lin.
"Then I'm going to make soy sauce again this time?"
Shen Lin was very unwilling, and his heart was full of all kinds of anxiety.
It's easy to make a work that I'm quite satisfied with, if it's because the director's level or the actor's acting skills are really not good, and he doesn't win the award, then he deserves it, but the current situation is that most people think that "Carol" can be compared to "Brokeback Mountain", and it is qualified to win the best foreign language film!
Not to mention Zhao Liying.
The young lady competes for the best supporting actress with the role of the heroine, no matter how you say it, the success rate will be very large!
Gong Li is out of play, and now even Zhao Liying's supporting actress is out of play, and even the best foreign language film is estimated to be out of ten!
"If the Oscars are really difficult, let's focus on the Golden Globes. ”
Zhao Liying, who had not spoken, said abruptly.
"But the influence of the Golden Globes is still not comparable to that of the Oscars. ”
Shen Lin subconsciously retorted, and then looked at Zhao Liying with a little surprise: "Yingbao, when did you become so fluent in English?"
When she participated in Cannes in the first half of this year, Zhao Liying did not have such a fluent level of English.
"I have to keep up with you..."
Zhao Liying rolled her eyes a little arrogantly, and then said: "Although the Golden Globe Awards are not comparable to the Oscars in terms of industry credibility, its influence is not low. ”
There is another sentence, Zhao Liying pressed it in her heart and did not say it clearly.
'Since we all know that the Oscars don't stand a chance, why don't we put our chips on the Golden Globes?'
"I think what Zhao said makes sense. ”
Bill Dorothy saw Shen Lin, who was silent, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Our touchstone and the Golden Globe Award have always had a lot to do with each other, and I am very sure that I will do a good job in public relations in the Golden Globe Awards!"
"Then we can't try again with the Oscars?"
Shen Lin still wanted to try again.
"At most, you can get a nomination, and it's not very likely to win an award. ”
"Okay, let's get a few more nominations,
Shen Lin sighed, "Bill, "Carol" is probably the last time I made a literary film in the past ten years, and after that, I focused more on commercial films, so I attached so much importance to the Oscars." ”
"Well, I understand, Shen, I'll do my best!"
Bill Dorothy nodded.
"By the way, Bill, do you have any good scripts for 2016? ”
“… Now that the whole of North America is in a script shortage, if Zhao wants to develop in North America, it is difficult, Fan and Li are Chinese actresses who have shown their faces in Hollywood, especially Li, but she will not have a better development... Because the image is already fixed. ”
Bill looked at Zhao Liying, and then replied very honestly.
"However, I have the Chinese market behind me, and I also starred in "Super Body""
Zhao Liying sounded a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it, so she thought about it for a long time and came up with a reason.
“…”
Bill was speechless.
"Liying, forget it, in fact, the Chinese market is booming, and I don't think it's bad to stay in China. ”
"But this is Hollywood... I still want to leave my mark here!"
The young lady's heart is still very high!
“… Listen to me and analyze with you, North American films are now divided into two completely different production concepts, big productions, such as comic book adaptations, this kind of film rarely uses newcomers, and there is also an independent film, independent films generally do not consider the box office outside North America, so they will not find Asians to star. No matter how you look at it, it's not easy for you to make a name for yourself in Hollywood. ”
Shen Lin stared at Zhao Liying's eyes very seriously and said.
