On February 11, the chairman of the organizing committee of the Academy Awards announced the list of nominees for this year's Oscars, and "Hero" was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.

This is the second martial arts film to be shortlisted for the Oscar, and the domestic media is quite excited.

Some people hope that "Hero" will recreate the glory of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and some people rationally think that it may be very 'sexual'.

"Hero" does not have the advantage of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and so far, "Hero" has not won a heavyweight award internationally, only some consolation prizes in the technical category.

Foreign media have praised this Chinese martial arts film.

Good Dreams was not prepared to invest money in Oscar's PR, it just went with the flow.

But this did not stop the enthusiasm of the media and industry experts, who analyzed the successes and losses of "Heroes" from all aspects, and predicted what subjects would be favored by the Oscars.

Martial arts movies have once again become a hot topic, attracting the attention of investors.

In the production plan of Good Dream Company this year, there is a sequel to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which invested 80 million yuan and was directed by Xu Ke.

As a master director of Xiangjiang martial arts films, Xu Ke's martial arts films are known for their grand scenes and rich imagination, and they have their own unique style in martial arts design.

Unlike Li Yu, Xu Ke plans to follow the routine of traditional martial arts films in Xiangjiang.

After the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", many people questioned that Li Yu was not a martial arts film, but a romance film.

Xu Ke is familiar with Xiangjiang martial arts films, leads the 'tide' of martial arts films, and has his own ideas.

He wants to make a traditional martial arts film, and he knows that no one can imitate Li Yu's style.

As the saying goes, those who learn from me live, and those who resemble me die, and there is no way out by blindly imitating.

Therefore, this sequel is only related to the previous work in terms of characters and plots, and the style is completely different, which is not a small risk, but Lin Zixuan approved of Xu Ke's idea.

Since you can't surpass "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", then find another way, there is no need to compare with Li Yu.

In addition to several leading actors such as Chen Daoming and Yu Feihong, Xu Ke used a group of Xiangjiang martial arts stars, especially the older generation of actors, who were active in the Xiangjiang film industry in the 80s of the last century.

Since he wants to make the 'essence' of traditional martial arts films, using these old actors can make the audience feel a sense of nostalgia.

In addition, "Little Snow's Big Adventure" was nominated for three Academy Awards for Technology, including Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, and Best Score.

If it weren't for the box office and influence of the film, it would be difficult for this kind of commercial film to get an Oscar nomination.

The Oscars ceremony takes place in late March, when Mr. Lin will travel to the United States with the company's personnel.

Although I know that there is little hope of winning the award, it is an opportunity to expand overseas markets, and with visibility, we can seek more room for development.

He also had to sign an agreement with the Chinese Television Station in New York to become the majority shareholder of the Chinese Television Station.

The North American branch of Good Dream will also be officially opened, and the branch is currently only a small company with more than 30 people, more like an office.

However, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, and it is completely built in accordance with the structure of the film and television company.

The 'door' of the film and television drama production department, the 'door' of the brokerage department, and the 'door' of the publicity and distribution department are all available.

There are many leather bag companies like this in the United States, but they are not outstanding, and compared to large companies, small companies have their own way of survival, and they look for business opportunities in the cracks.

They don't touch big productions, and mainly invest in small-budget film and television dramas of about one million dollars.

If you can make a movie with a bit of interest or tap into a potential new actor and sell it to a big company, you can get a lot of money.

In other words, they provide a constant stream of resources to large corporations.

Lin Zixuan opened a branch in North America in order to be familiar with the North American market, start from the bottom, gradually 'feel' the rules of Hollywood, integrate into it, and develop step by step.

At a time when the domestic media was hyping up the Oscar nominations, a trivial incident made it to the newspapers.

A restaurant in Beijing called "See You or Leave" has been subjected to a large number of complaints from citizens because of its inflated prices, poor service attitude, and unpalatable food, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce has ordered the restaurant to close for rectification.

This would not have been news, and similar things are not uncommon across the country.

However, the restaurant has attracted attention because its shareholders are all big names in the entertainment industry.

These shareholders include Lin Zixuan, chairman of Haomeng Company, famous directors Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen, famous actors Ge You and Xu Fan, etc., how can entertainment reporters let go of this report.

After the report came out, the public relations department of Good Dream Company responded immediately.

It shows that although Lin Zixuan and others are shareholders, they do not participate in the specific management of the restaurant, express sincere apologies to customers for what happened, are willing to compensate customers for their losses, and actively cooperate with rectification.

It's just a small thing, and as long as it is handled properly, it won't set off too much wind and 'waves'.

It's not new for celebrities to engage in side hustles, and they open restaurants or clothing stores with their own fame.

The general scale is not large, and there are not many people like Liu Xiaoqing who are dumping real estate, but celebrities rarely directly participate in the management, and various problems are prone to occur.

Not to mention the service attitude, the price is scared to death, a bowl of green vegetable noodles is 30 yuan, and a cup of 'milk' tea is 50 yuan.

Lin Zixuan couldn't help but shake his head after knowing the news that the restaurant was required to rectify.

He hadn't paid attention to restaurants for a long time, and he didn't know if it was profitable, except for the occasional dinner with friends, all of which were 'handed over' to the manager of the restaurant.

This restaurant used to be managed by Sister He, who checked the accounts from time to time, but after Ge You got busy, Sister He didn't care, and was taken over by a foreman of the restaurant and became the manager.

Lin Zixuan and the others didn't care if the restaurant made money at all, they just found a place to have a dinner.

As for the high price, poor service attitude, and unpalatable food, they can't realize it, so they don't 'intervene', everyone is usually so busy.

The manager of the restaurant defended himself a few words, complaining that the price of food could only go up, and that the business was not good and he couldn't afford to hire a waiter, and the chef was going to quit his job.

Lin Zixuan sighed in his heart that the times have changed, and people's hearts have also changed.

I used to see this person as 'very' down-to-earth and conscientious, but I didn't expect it to become like this after a few years of hard work.

The location of the restaurant is good, with the signboard of the good dream company, the business is not prosperous, and it will not be too bad, the shareholders don't care about dividends, no one checks the accounts, and there are too many loopholes to exploit.

Lin Zixuan asked Feng Xiaogang and other shareholders for their opinions.

"Turn it off, save yourself the trouble. ”

This is what most people mean, these people are rich people with a net worth of tens of millions, and more is better than less.

Lin Zixuan thought about it and agreed.

He remembers that in the year when the restaurant opened, Feng Xiaogang's Chinese New Year film was a big hit and made a name for himself in the film industry, Jiang Wen's film won an award in Venice, and Ge You won the best actor in Cannes.

It was the year they made a name for themselves in the circle, and everyone got together to eat and drink, and they were full of pride.

Lin Zixuan signed the transfer contract, and the restaurant had nothing to do with them.

He understood that there was no going back to that time.
