Chapter 41: Four Consecutive Crowns?
In the next few days, Xiaobai continued to participate in some boring drinking parties, and then met some bigwigs with voting rights under the introduction of Pani Kelis.
Independent Spirit of Motion Picture Awards, New York Film Critics Circle Awards, Gotham Independent Film Awards, National Review Awards, Washington Film Critics Circle Awards, Los Angeles Film Critics Circle Awards, Chicago Film Critics Circle Awards, Boston Film Critics Circle Awards, American Film Association Awards, Producers League Awards, Directors Guild Awards...
All the awards, go to it!
This means that you value the Oscar very much, and you must not pretend to be forced, and the original good situation of "Farewell My Concubine" by Kai Clicquot Rinpoche was because of his own pretence, and the best foreign language film in his hand is gone...
"If you can get nominations from the three major film critics associations and unions, plus some necessary public relations means, there is a chance that more than 90% of you will be nominated for best director!"
"Now that we have the best directors from the New York Film Association and the Boston Film Association, the target of the strategy can be changed to the union!"
These are the exact words that Xiaobai arrived in Los Angeles and Pani Kelis told him.
Then he learned what the so-called union PR meant: organizing a film pull-out meeting, inviting members of the academy to watch it, and at the same time impressing film critics to tout the film...
It's surface work, and the party is a must!
Although these jobs are tedious and even boring, in order to win awards, let's do as the locals do!
Uncle An said back then: The Oscars are like a battlefield, they have to build momentum for themselves and intrigue with each other, and the 11-month campaign from the beginning to the end of the campaign is like an election, which is physically and mentally exhausting.
Yes, even so, Uncle An's original "Brokeback Mountain" still lost the best picture - "Brokeback Mountain" became a social topic, and the awards season achieved an indiscriminate sweep from the beginning of the film critics' awards, but it fell short in the end.
This is mainly because Lionsgate, which is responsible for the distribution of "Crash", came up with a fresh idea, and unlike the previous main media publicity, they produced 160,000 DVDs of "Crash" and distributed them to members in all aspects of Hollywood, including more than 5,600 Oscar judges.
The movie has been off the production line for a long time, and Lionsgate's open-mindedness has won a lot of favor among the judges, and it has also quietly climbed their voices to second place, which has touched the hearts of many conservative judges and laid the foundation for their final reversal.
The conservative attitude of the academy became the final key factor, and on the night of the awards, Lionsgate's ecstasy set off the astonishment of everyone else, and Ang Lee became the only sad director to win Best Director twice but never won Best Picture...
"Life of Pi" is not the best picture either...
Pani Kelis analyzed the awards he has won in the past half a month and concluded: "The best picture is unlikely, we will grab the best director and the best actor!" ”
“OK!”
Xiaobai doesn't care, "The Man on the Moon", his goal is that Jim Carrey can win the Oscar, he really doesn't want this comedy king to win the Lifetime Achievement Award when he is old, and then he is moved to cry like Chaplin...
The Oscars' attitude towards comedians is too cruel!
Chaplin received only the Lifetime Achievement Award in his lifetime;
Robin Williams, "Dead Poets Society" and "Good Morning Vietnam", two films that have gone down in film history, did not bring him the personal credit he deserved!
Ineradicable...
Even Master Xing, "The King of Comedy" did not win the best actor, who was the actor awarded that year? - Andy Lau "Dark War"...
Gee...
……
In addition to these, Xiaobai's daily life is a war of words!
Teach some fans to be human!
It's fun!
"Really convinced, if I am blocked, will you people be so happy? Mr. Lu Xun is really right, the inferior nature of the Chinese makes people speechless! ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu is Canadian, and his nationality says Canada, and he does not belong to Chinese compatriots, at most he is an overseas Chinese!"
"The list is well deserved, and everyone really has a good opinion on the level of music!"
"I'm sorry, I participated in all my film scores, "Man on the Moon" was shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Score, to be precise, my musical literacy is not low!"
"Idol's birthday, we fans can't buy new albums yet?"
"It's okay to buy a new album, but can you not do it so much, I'm in PR Oscar now, every time I talk to people, as long as music is mentioned, they will say Chinese bots, I'm ashamed!"
"The list is originally a data statistic of downloads, and we use our own money and technology to push our idols to the first place, is it wrong?"
"The iTunes music chart is a popular chart. The original meaning of the list is to let good music and quality music be heard by more people. Its audience is more passers-by, ordinary people who love to listen to songs.
The behavior of fans swiping data is actually to bring the "traffic is king" and "stench of the fan circle" in the idol circle to the foreign music field, and use the rules of their own small groups to bully passers-by and disrupt the market order. This kind of disruption makes people with real musical talent not make the list, and really good music is pressed under the box by fake traffic.
This is an encroachment on musical progress. ”
"By the way, the iTunes China Fan Circle exclusive list will be officially released next week, everyone is crazy about throwing money!"
I am not tired of this for a day, "my fingers hurt a little, forget it, I don't reply, I can't afford to provoke it"! ”
"Also, I'm disappointed in you, and you said you want to be each other's angels? You people, seeing me being bullied, don't come to help, it's too much! It's too much! ”
Xiaobai's fan replied: "... I'm sorry, I'm watching Kung Fu..."
"Well, we're helping to brush up on the box office, and we're not available..."
Well, you guys won...
However, the box office of "Kung Fu" really ushered in a rebound, and in the third weekend of its release, it received 260 million and 270 million in a single day...
The cumulative box office successfully exceeded 5 billion...
……
"David, don't look at me like that, what's wrong with me?"
On the plane, Xiaobai put down the newspaper a little speechlessly, he really couldn't stand David's eyes!
"Bai, "Kung Fu" was released in China for 23 days, with a cumulative box office of $860 million... You're amazing! ”
That's the case, on New Year's Day in the past few days, the box office of "Kung Fu" has risen slightly, and the single-day revenue has exceeded 100 million again, coupled with the quarrel with Wu Yifan's fans some time ago, the box office of "Kung Fu" has magically recovered, and the cumulative box office has reached 5.44 billion, it is obvious that surpassing "Wolf Warrior 2" is not a problem!
“… Wait a few more days, Star Wars Episode 9 is so good, I'm a little scared..."
The Lao American film market also ushered in its own biggest IP, Star Wars, with a box office of $160 million on the first day of release, once again setting a new record for the highest box office on the first day!
160 million US dollars, converted into RMB, directly broke one billion...
Nima, it's hard to get back to the top of the list!
"I know, we have already arranged, "Kung Fu" will be released on January 17, and "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" will be released on January 31!"
“… Is it so urgent? ”
“… It's not that we're in a hurry, "Fast and Furious" will be released in March, and we only have one month..."
"Well..."
Shut up...
"Kung Fu" has won three consecutive championships, today's "Welcome to San Francisco" and "Looking for Qin", the former starring Deng Chao, Bo Ge, Tong Dawei, and the latter starring Gu Tianluo, which should not be underestimated...
Whether it can win four consecutive championships depends on today!
