Chapter 692: You Represent Everyone
After Joseph and the two left, Gu Xiaofan looked at the most representative Gu Ge's popularity vote on the Oscars, in the best foreign language film, "Dancing with Bashi" received 250,000 votes, and "The Undertaker" was 210,000 box office. [Full text reading]
But in the best film, "Rejuvenation" and "Slumdog Millionaire" won 1.27 million and 1.51 million votes respectively from fans around the world......
That's not a small gap.
Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but ask Chen Keer: "Sister Ke'er, do you think I can really call on so many Chinese fans?" ”
"Of course you can, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian can, and you definitely can." Chen Keer said affirmatively: "You are comparable to 100 Yi Jianlian in the hearts of Chinese fans." ”
Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard her words, but he was embarrassed to admit it, so he just laughed and sighed: "I really have a lot of fans." ”
"It's not just your fans." Chen Ke'er's delicate face looked surprisingly confident, and he said faintly: "This time I want to mobilize all your friends." ”
"Friends?" Gu Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "You want me to mobilize other filmmakers together, this ...... For the sake of me alone, wouldn't it be okay to make such a big move? ”
Although Gu Xiaofan has many friends in the circle, "The Undertaker" is his own work after all, and it seems a little unauthentic to let others build momentum for him.
"Why not, we are winning glory for the country this time." Chen Keer said as a matter of course: "And it is a great thing for filmmakers all over China to enter the American market in the future, how can they not help us?" ”
Chen Keer's tone suddenly cooled down, showing decisive courage and said: "Since Warner can use their monopoly advantage in the industry to build momentum, why can't we seek help from the Chinese film industry and fans across the country?"
Don't think that this is just a matter for you Gu Xiaofan, from the time you plan to buy Warner and want to fight for the equal status of Chinese people and whites and blacks on the big screen, this is already a matter of the country and the nation.
Director Gu, you have to understand that you, like Yao Ming, are developing in a foreign country, you are not just a star, but a business card to the outside world, and you represent the image of the world and the Chinese people.
This is like fighting for the Olympic Games, not only to let the athletes, show their faces and get honors, but more importantly, your achievements represent our entire nation and country! Your award will make every fan in our country feel proud and cheering, and I will be proud from the bottom of my heart. ”
Chen Ke'er's righteous and awe-inspiring words made Gu Xiaofan very surprised, and he looked Chen Ke'er up and down again in surprise.
Although he knew about his advantages before, he was only vague and made a small fuss, but after Chen Keer joined, he completely integrated the resources he owned, and raised the policy of Black Feather Studio to the height of grand strategy.
In this regard, Chen Keer is indeed much stronger......
Chen Ke'er blushed a little when he looked at him, and said:
"Don't look at me like that, you people who have been living in China don't understand, when I used to study abroad, the feeling of those white people looking at my face, their arrogance is not on the outside, but in the bones, you won't understand the feeling of being looked down on because of the color of your skin, only Chinese people who have lived abroad will understand this feeling......"
"Understood...... Gu Xiaofan nodded, thinking to himself, he really thought about this matter narrowly, although he was fighting for his own goals, but why wasn't he doing a big thing that would benefit the image of the nation?
"Sister Ke'er......" Thinking of this, Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but look at Chen Ke'er sympathetically and said, "Have you suffered a lot abroad...... If you want someone to complain to, I can lend you my shoulder. ”
"In that case, I usually go to God." Chen Ke'er turned his head and glanced at him: "Do you want to go to see God?" ”
"......" Gu Xiaofan was speechless on the spot.
After formulating this plan, Black Feather Studio began to take action, first of all, Chen Keer asked the Propaganda Department to formulate a voting website for "The Undertaker" to be shortlisted for the Oscars, the structure of the website is very simple, first just teach everyone how to vote for "The Undertaker" for the "Best Foreign Language Film" vote.
Of course, in this website, there is no mention of how "The Undertaker" was oppressed by Warner and received any unfair treatment, just like an electronic manual.
After the website was completed, Chen Keer called Zeng Zhiwei and asked the Hong Kong Artists Association to help issue a call.
"Xiao Fan is our little brother, what's wrong with this." Zeng Zhiwei patted his chest aggressively, and quickly registered an account on Weibo according to Chen Keer's meaning.
Not only did he register an account, but also Tan Yonglin, Chen Long, Hong Jingbao and several other big brothers of the Hong Kong Association have registered accounts on Weibo.
And the first thing after registering an account, Zeng Zhiwei issued a call:
"Dear netizens and friends, because Director Gu Xiaofan Gu does not have any media allies in the United States, "The Undertaker" has hardly received any mainstream media publicity in North America, I hope everyone can help vote for "The Undertaker", the voting method is as follows, I hope that "The Undertaker" will be shortlisted for the Oscar this time to win glory for the country~ become the first film in the mainland to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film."
And soon, Chen Long, Sammo Hung, Tam Yonglin and other Hong Kong stars also reprinted this information.
After netizens got this news, as soon as they heard that Gu Xiaofan's "The Undertaker" was not promoted in the United States, they were immediately mobilized.
"Xiao Fange's movie must be supported! This time, you must win the award! ”
"Although I haven't watched this movie yet, I have confidence in Xiao Fange's level, so I rushed to his name, and I should vote for it."
Almost in just one day, under the call of many stars in Hong Kong, Gu Xiaofan's selection of "Best Foreign Language Film" on the three major websites surpassed "Dancing with Bashi", and the number of votes reached 370,000 at the box office.
The crew of "The Undertaker" also began to accept the interview of "Premiere" in a grand manner, and began their national promotion.
At this moment, Warner also reacted immediately, as Moki, who was responsible for the release of "Dancing with Bash" this time, soon woke up to the fact that Gu Xiaofan did not give up the hope of competing for the best foreign language film in "The Undertaker".
He reacted quickly, stepping up the publicity of "Dancing with Bash" by having it broadcast a special program on N and reporting it in Time magazine.
The film that is said to be an animated recreation of the 1982 massacre in the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabala and Shatila in Beirut, Lebanon, is:
"A monument in the history of cinema is the undoubted strongest Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and other participating films are far from being able to compare."
At this moment, in Moji's heart, he felt that Gu Xiaofan was a little overwhelmed, and thought, even if you accept the propaganda of those 7 "small media", what is the use of adding the "Best Foreign Language Film" of the three major websites? Can you compare it to the influence of Time Magazine?
In an evaluation conducted by Warner's in-house technical department, Moki's idea was confirmed, and in the final selection for "Best Foreign Language Film", all the data predicted that "Dancing with Bash" would have a 93.7% chance of winning the award...... And "The Undertaker" only knows that there are pitiful less than 3 percent.
Unbeknownst to Moki, his nightmare had just begun......
