Chapter 451: Oscar also depends on the relationship......
Originally, the box office of "Shutter Island" didn't have much to do with Liu Chao, but why did he agree to director Spielberg's request?
Actually, it's very simple. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
What is Liu Chao's purpose in filming "Shutter Island" this time?
Name!
The so-called name is a name in the United States, Liu Chao has already had two works released in the United States before, and even some music works have been nicknamed before, but I'm sorry, his fame in the United States is still like that, like what?
Liu Chao's own feeling is that his status is somewhat like Zhang Ziyi, the original Zhang Ziyi.
You must know that the original Zhang Ziyi became an international movie star after a few movies, and many people simply called it an international chapter, not to mention the problem of blackness, but to talk about influence, at least it looks quite good, so Zhang Ziyi really started his own road as an international movie star, and almost put all his career in Hollywood.
The result?
After a few films, there was no response at all, especially the "Knight", which can be regarded as attentive, but unfortunately, there was not even a splash.
In the final analysis, it's because of the rejection of skin color by American movie fans, of course, it's okay to say discrimination, anyway, people don't care too much about a yellow person.
However, Li An is very successful, although there is an important factor in his success, that is, Li An's films are more Americanized than those made by Americans, but there are some individual things that cannot be denied.
Oscar, that's quite useful!
Among the Chinese, it is very rare to win the best director for a commercial film. Moreover, his name often appears with the Oscars, and many of his films have been shortlisted for the Oscars.
Liu Chao also wants to criticize her for the Oscar award, but he can't ignore the influence of this award, this award is absolutely a household name for Americans, and this award is the best movie label.
Li An, a frequent visitor to the Oscars, his films naturally carry all kinds of halos, and his name will naturally last much longer and be remembered by Americans more.
Liu Chao wants such a name, he doesn't want to be Zhang Ziyi, of course, he won't be exactly like Li An. And the reason why this is so, so much so famous, is to make better money and earn a beautiful knife!
What did Liu Chao say before?
We just came to the United States to make money, and after making money, we will return to China to invest!
I have to say that this guy has always adhered to such a central idea, and all the things he has done, hehe, are really incomprehensible.
And the thing Spielberg said is very simple, that is, he is revealing to Liu Chao that he can help Liu Chao and recommend him to the Oscars.
The selection of the Oscars seems to be very democratic and fair, but in fact, this is not the case at all. There are also unspoken rules in this, just say that, Hollywood is a family, that is, if there is a celebrity who can make a recommendation, then it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
A big director like Spielberg recommended Liu Chao, what would be the situation?
Naturally, it is easier to win awards.
In fact, this kind of thing is very common in the United States, there is a recommendation, and there is no recommendation, it is completely different things, just say that going to college is like this, if a well-known alumni of Harvard writes a letter of recommendation, then this person can be admitted even if the grades are all F.
And such a system, as the name goes, is that Harvard doesn't pay attention to grades, and all of them are A's and may not be able to get in...... Many top students probably hate prestigious schools like Harvard, and they all have MMP in their hearts.
This is the system of the United States, in fact, some places also learn, such as Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Film Awards is not only a copycat Oscar, but even this recommended convention is also a copycat, it is really so, there are well-known directors to recommend, and no, that is a world of difference. Liu Chao doesn't want to change this so-called convention, not to mention that he can't do it at all, and there is no need to say it, as long as he uses it well, then this convention is beneficial to him.
Now, isn't this Spielberg director coming?
And after Liu Chao made this simple, lazy, and stupid thing that people can read and understand...... Don't say it, the Internet in the United States is really popular, and it seems that there is also viral marketing.
"Oh, I see!"
"I understand! After I understand it, this movie is even more refreshing!"
"Shutter Island is especially recommended, it's a super fun movie that challenges your IQ. ”
The freshness on Rotten Tomatoes has changed again, and many good reviews have come again.
But the mouthpieces of conservatives are not to be outdone.
"Of course, Christmas is a Christmas movie. ”
"That's right, we need a festive atmosphere, not a visit to the dead!"
"The new year is coming, and some heavy history films are really not recommended......"
Several TV stations led by FOX, many hosts are still cynical about "Shutter Island", and they are also changing the law to damage, although they did not directly say how bad this movie is, but they did it in a roundabout way.
After all, it is the stage of the Western New Year, and there is nothing wrong with hoping to be more festive, but ......
""Shutter Island" exceeded 100 million box office within one week of its release!"
"Director Spielberg has a discerning eye, and Liu Chao succeeded in leading a 100 million yuan blockbuster for the first time!"
"Experts are optimistic about the future box office of "Shutter Island"! This movie is like a wine, the more you taste it, the more flavorful it is......"
A box office hit!
Actually, what Liu Chao said was right, that is, if he didn't do anything, those sunspots were sprayed well, which had little impact on the box office, and he made such a thing that was in line with the IQ of Americans, which can be regarded as an assist for himself.
In Liu Chao's eyes, this is simply normal, but in the eyes of others, Liu Chao is simply whipping those people who hack him!
Looking at this situation, "Shutter Island" has won the box office championship during this time, and the FOX stations simply don't broadcast news related to "Shutter Island", let's not talk about it.
Spielberg was naturally very happy to see this situation, he was also discerning this time, he didn't see the wrong person, as for the matter of promising Liu Chao, it was just a gesture for him, and now that this is the case, what's the problem with making a recommendation?
It seems that the United States is here to be hello, hello, hello, everyone, but there is a place where something suddenly happened......
"Japanese right-wing groups demand a ban on Shutter Island!"
"This movie is simply slandering us Japan!" said a politician-like guy on television.
"The Holocaust doesn't exist! 731 doesn't exist either! it doesn't exist!" a crazy, more politician-like guy screamed.
Well, there is an accident in Japan, many people are making trouble, and even say that they want to come out to march, that is, they want "Shutter Island" to be screened there!
