Chapter 651: Invitation

"Brother Xiaolong, are you familiar with this?"

"It's my first time here, but I've seen acquaintances. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Then Li Xiaolong left Han Yi alone, left by himself, and went to chat with the beauty, and it seemed that he was probably an old friend.

Han Yi is not a lively person, in the end, he is eating alone, and if someone comes over, he will say a few words casually.

Han Yi really doesn't like this kind of thing, but this kind of thing is necessary.

"Hello, Han." When Han Yi was bored alone, someone appeared in front of Han Yi, which surprised Han Yi.

Because this person is Michael Haneke, the director of "Love", the director of the film that is most likely to block Han Yi from winning the best foreign language film this time.

"Hello, your 'Love' is wonderful."

"Thanks, your movie is also very good."

Han Yi lists this movie as his fierce rival, but Michael Haneke is not like this.

People are actually so interesting, in Han Yi's opinion, "Love" has won many international awards, and even won the Golden Globe Award, which seems to be its advantage.

But this advantage in the eyes of Han Yi has become a disadvantage in the eyes of Michael Haneke.

That's right, in the eyes of Michael Haneke, because he thinks that the Golden Globes, which have almost no intersection with the Oscar judges, are just a bellwether for the Oscars.

No one can say for sure, sometimes it's a weather vane, sometimes it's a dime, it's a magical existence.

And he knew that Han Yi had invested a lot of money in public relations this time.

Many times, the quality of a film is a very subjective thing, and it is also very easy to be swayed by the opinions of others, because it has no criteria for judging, and the Oscars are different from those film festivals in Europe, it is voted by thousands of judges to produce the results, so it is possible to influence the votes of these judges in public opinion.

Publishing PR articles, especially those by famous film critics, giving TV interviews, and participating in TV shows can really influence the final choice of the judges.

Having lunch with "Capote" actor Philip Hoffman and having a drink in the evening with "Good Night Away" director George Clooney sounds like a dreamy schedule that is nothing more than an ordinary day on an Oscar judge during awards season.

Stars, good food, cozy surroundings, pleasant conversations, these are just the "opening words" of winning votes at the Oscars, and it is clear to all ambitious people that these investments make sense, because winning the favor of the Academy and the judges, the nomination of the work and even winning the Oscar, can bring great financial returns.

The re-release of the film, the sale and re-release of DVDs, the sale of merchandise, and even the investment of other films of the company will become a natural thing, which is the "reputation" effect.

Since Harvey Weinstein joined the game of fame and fortune called the Oscars in the nineties, the bottom line of the rules of the game has undoubtedly been lowered by a large margin.

Behind the scenes of the Oscars, many people are saying that "no award is real", "everything has a price and a reward", "anything can be paid in order to win", "Harvey Weinstein revolutionized the game of film awards...... The escalating PR campaign has completely changed the way films are promoted during awards season, becoming more "active," "effective," and looking more like a political campaign.

Every Oscar winner has one thing in common - to use their strengths and powers to the fullest, and to play to the best within the rules!

Therefore, as long as you are willing to actively work hard in publicity and public relations, you can always get the votes in the hands of some judges, and what you don't get is that other people's conditions are better than yours.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the film must have the most basic competitive strength

Han Yi's publicity and public relations work is not the best among all the competitors, but if you put it at the level of the best foreign language, the sum of the other films is not as good as one-third of that of "Hero".

Han Yi is too willful.

There was no tension between the two chatting, but a very friendly exchange of experiences.

Then Han Yi was alone again.

"Hello, Director Han."

This is a young woman who is dressed quite fashionably and exquisitely, and she obviously came to find Han Yi specifically.

This is a blonde girl who looks quite sexy and hot, probably less than thirty years old, but her face is a little unfamiliar, and Han Yi confirmed that he didn't know her after seeing it.

She has exquisite makeup, luxurious clothing, impeccable manners, and seems to have a very good upbringing, or is engaged in a very high-end profession.

Such a blonde beauty stopped in front of him, Han Yi was indeed a little puzzled, Han Yi didn't think he was very attractive.

"Hello, Director Han." The blonde woman took the initiative to introduce herself, "I'm Michelle Braun, you can call me Michelle." ”

Out of the most basic courtesy, Han Yi nodded to her, "Hello, Michelle." ”

"You were nominated for an Oscar for the first time in your life, don't you need to celebrate?"

Hearing her words, Han Yi thought that this was a public relations officer of a high-end party company, but Michelle Braun continued:

"I called an Oscar party two nights later to celebrate the upcoming extravaganza, and Best Actress nominees Reese Witherspoon and Keira Knightley, and Best Supporting Actress nominees Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz, all of whom have already turned up my invitation."

She didn't mention any male names, and all she said were famous female stars.

This seemed to be a very high-end party, which was Han Yi's first reaction, but he immediately felt as if something was wrong, but he couldn't say why.

"The party is very big and has everything you could ask for."

As she spoke, she took out a business card from her bag and handed it over, "If you are interested, you can call this number, and someone will provide you with services." ”

Han Yi took the business card and glanced at it, there was only one phone number on it, and nodded subconsciously, "If you need to, I will make this call." ”

"Han Yi, you're lucky." After the other party left, Li Xiaolong didn't know when he would appear behind him.

"Who is she?"

"The number one skin in Hollywood today, the bar."

"What kind of party is it?" Han Yi now knew that something was wrong with that place.

"That's right, why don't you think about it."

"Forget it, I don't have this hobby, but why didn't I invite you?"

"Who's to say no."

As he spoke, Li Xiaolong threw the same business card into the trash. (To be continued.) )
