Chapter 113: Award Predictions and Receptions

After listening to Shen Lin's explanation, although Zhao Liying was still a little unwilling, she reluctantly accepted it.

If Zhao Liying really wanted to work hard in Hollywood, and Shen Lin chose not to ask, she would definitely be greeted by a much worse environment than Zhang Ziyi back then.

At the beginning, Monica Bellucci and Sophie Marceau all joined Hollywood with huge prestige, but the result?

Monica Bellucci acted in a few films, sold a few waves of meat, and then returned to Europe in a gray way, and Sophie Marceau's situation was not much worse.

Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi have also mixed in Hollywood, the former has a "Miami Vice", and the only thing that can be remembered is the passionate scenes in the movie; Zhang Ziyi is a little better, after all, she has caught up with Warner's largest individual shareholder, but there is still only one "Memoirs of a Geisha", she has a lot of opportunities, Warner has always coveted the market on the other side, but it is more uncomfortable for her to play a scene of less than a minute like Fan Ye than to kill her!

So, return to China and develop.

After all, not every Oriental woman is called Wendi Deng!

"I'll go first, Shen, don't forget, there will be a drinking party at Hilton tomorrow, more than half of them are Oscar judges, please be there!"

Bill Dorothy got up to say goodbye, and suggested by the way: "If possible, give interviews to several media outlets, I heard that "Variety" and "Vanity Fair" have always been interested in you!" ”

“OK!”

Shen Lin smiled and watched Bill leave.

……

"What do we eat at night? Do you make dumplings? ”

Zhao Liying tied her apron and looked ready to cook.

“… Forget it, I'll find the Yellow Pages of a Chinese restaurant right away, let's order something to eat. ”

Shen Lin has always been skeptical of Ying Bao's cooking skills.

“… What are you looking at? ”

After staying in the United States for three days, Zhao Liying did not have the freshness she had just arrived, but fortunately, her English had improved a lot, at least she could understand TV programs.

However, it was still boring.

Far from being comfortable staying in the country!

Shen Lin is the opposite, for him, this kind of life has long been accustomed to it.

A few years ago, he broke into Hollywood alone, and that's how he came over.

At the moment, he was holding a copy of The Hollywood Reporter and reading it with relish.

"I'm looking at the media's predictions for this year's awards."

"Oh, did you find anything?"

Ying Bao was also interested and sat next to Shen Lin.

"Judging from the current situation, the best picture should be "Spotlight" or "Room", and the best director is probably George Miller or Alejandro González Iñárritu, these critics are really interesting, all kinds of bets say that they think that if "Spotlight" does not win the Oscar for Best Picture, it will be an absolute shame for Hollywood..."

"What does 'Spotlight' mean?"

A series of names popped out of Shen Lin's mouth, and Zhao Liying was a little dazed.

"Well, it's a movie that exposes real events, about a Christian chicken girl children; In fact, if "Spotlight" can win the Oscar, it means that Hollywood's original ability has dropped to the extreme, and it can only make movies through real events, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the entire film industry..."

"Didn't you tell Bill before that this year's Best Actor must be Xiao Lizi?"

The young lady has no interest in this thing at all, and her understanding of the North American film industry is very limited.

It is estimated that she does not even know who Alejandro González Iñárritu is.

"yes, that's for sure!"

"Then you can accompany me to see this movie tomorrow."

"No problem... No, it may not work tomorrow, tomorrow we have to go to a drinking party together. ”

I was just thinking about saying yes, but suddenly I thought of Bill Dorothy's request when he was leaving.

"Am I going too? But I didn't bring a dress or anything..."

Li Ying looked at her husband a little embarrassed.

"Didn't you bring a dress? Think about it..."

According to Bill, tomorrow's drinking party is sure to be a more formal party, and it is etiquette to dress up.

"You call Fang Jianhao and ask him to contact Dior here in the United States, and the dress problem should be solved."

Anyway, the young lady is the global spokesperson of Dior, if she wears it too Lo and spreads it, Dior's face will not look good!

……

Every year, major studios find all sorts of reasons to throw parties and cocktail parties around awards season.

The purpose is very simple, that is, I hope that my family's film can be looked up to by the judges.

In China, it is called bribery, but Lao Mei invented a proper noun called public relations.

Although the profitability of the traditional Hollywood Big Six is becoming more and more questionable, especially MGM, which has lost money one after another and gone bankrupt in a fancy way, MGM is definitely good at public relations investment!

Even Paramount Films, which is evaluated by the outside world as the least public-related person, spends much money on banquets every year.

Not to mention the Disney Group, which has firmly occupied the position of the six hegemons in recent years!

Today's party, hosted by Disney, invited a large number of highly qualified Oscar academy elders, these people not only have the right to vote, but also the right to nominate them, and they and the connections behind them can definitely influence most of the awards of each Oscar!

Of course, some popular actors and directors will also be invited.

Shen Lin and Zhao Liying are one of them.

"I'll go! A cocktail party is even more exaggerated than the annual party, and there is actually a red carpet! ”

Through the car window, Shen Lin was a little stunned to find a red carpet about fifty meters long in front of the Hilton Hotel.

"Not only that, but there are also good multimedia taking pictures!"

Zhao Liying was very excited.

Probably female artists are different from men, Shen Lin saw the red carpet, and what he thought of was that he would have to deal with the media again for a while, which was really annoying; Zhao Liying was thinking about how to suppress these North American natives!

"Alright, let's get out of the car."

After all, it is not a film festival or awards ceremony in the real sense, there is no organizer to help arrange the order of appearance, and after waiting for a while, there is no one on the red carpet, Shen Lin took Li Ying's left hand and helped her out of the car.

Dior values Zhao Liying very much, so Shen Lin, who is also the spokesperson, is only wearing a black suit, while the young lady is wearing a lilac dress carved with flowers, and special size 34 high heels, which is very beautiful!

"Director Shen Lin, can you give us a rough idea of your outlook for this awards season?"

stopped Shen Lin, and it was actually a reporter from Du Niang Entertainment in China who wanted to interview him.

Nima, how come there are domestic reporters even on such occasions?

"Well, so far, "Carol" has won several outposts of the best foreign language film, and the reputation is also good, no matter what, I'm still full of confidence anyway! Just like Ang Lee said, 'It's good to be happy for a day', and it's never too late to be sad when the results come out! ”

"Does that mean you're determined to be the best foreign language film?"

"Where did you hear that I was determined to succeed? Also, don't scribble! ”
