It's still early for the official shooting!

The casting is estimated to last a month or two.

The script is still being compiled, and a bunch of media who got the news wanted to interview the chief producer Bai Xiaofei, and then found that the goods had slipped away, and he was not in China!

……

Xiaobai went to North America for a very simple purpose.

Awards season is coming, "Truman's World" is obviously a big hit, of course, public relations!

Speaking of the North American box office of "Truman's World", as of the next release, "Truman's World" has won nearly 50 million US dollars at the box office...

Well, it didn't compare to "Heroes", that thing was so fierce that it won a total of $53 million at the box office.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a bug!

Directly won the total score of 120 million in North America!

stepped on the horse, "Beautiful Life" only got 57 million US dollars!

Ang Lee is awesome!

Lao Mouzi is also ruthless enough, and the North American box office of "Ambush on All Sides" has also exceeded 10 million US dollars!

Brother Kai's director is a little worse, "Farewell My Concubine" took $5 million, and "Wuji" simply only $660,000...

As for the pants, Jiang Wen, the movies of those two can only be shown in places where there is a Chinatown, and they can't be found at all...

Alien stories are hard to succeed in North America!

Therefore, there is a greater need for PR!

By the way, talk to Netflix about the publicity work of "Li Shimin"...

The public relations of the awards season is actually very simple, which is to tell those judges that you value the awards very much, otherwise, you can only be like David Fincher, and it will be difficult to win the Oscar in this life!

David Fincher is not a David Lynch-style alternative director, he is not a typical independent director, he is not a B-level interesting director, he is not the kind of director who takes the expression of his own will as his own responsibility, David Fincher has never deviated from the mainstream route of Hollywood, but he still cannot be classified among mainstream directors, he makes star-studded genre films, but not so commercial; He takes the technical route, but he doesn't lead the new trend like James Mellon, he is still very old-school at heart; He is skillful, but not so conventional; To say that he is a craftsman, he is not as active as Ron Howard, and his films are quite recognizable, which can be called "author", and when it comes to authors, he is not a real author like old Woody.

This thing is definitely the most favored choice of Aoika!

It's a pity that he just can't win the Oscar!

"The Social Network", "Girl with a Dragon Tattoo", "Gone Girl"...

All three of these works should win the Oscar for Best Director!

It's a pity that the full pedal horse was ignored!

The reason is simple, his PR is too rubbish ...

However, recently Harvey Weinstein was put in prison (37 years in prison), and maybe, out of compensation, the Oscar will award Best Director to David Fincher...

"Truman's World" was very successful at the box office, and the critics also commented very well, but now the difference is public relations!

……

Los Angeles Airport, Cafe.

David was reading the newspaper.

Awards season is approaching, and a bunch of newspapers are predicting next year's Oscars...

Although the Oscars have taken a bad step - to create a Best Popular Film award. As the name suggests, this award is awarded to films with outstanding box office results, but the specific selection criteria and methods are still being discussed by the academy.

The establishment of this award, to a certain extent, is to establish a new concept of film history writing, to formally put on the table commercial films that have been excluded by most film historians, and to recognize their importance to the development of film history.

Record changes in popular trends.

But many critics didn't like it, including David, who felt it was a blasphemy against the Oscars!

This year's focus is on "The First Man on the Moon" and "Colette"...

It's another movie year.

Turning the page, David noticed a line of small print: "Netflix will cooperate with Chinese film companies to create a historical film about the Tang Dynasty..."

"Cut, who cares about the history of foreigners?"

North America is a strange land, isolationism is still prevalent, and the vast majority of the American public does not care much about things that have nothing to do with the United States.

The U.S. media market is definitely the largest insulator in the world, even in the past 20 years, American television has not broadcast a single foreign program in prime time, and the American audience has watched far fewer foreign-themed movies than expected, and the foreign-themed movies that can really succeed are often adaptations of classic literary works or fairy tales and myths from the Western world.

As for the history of the Tang Dynasty in the East?

How many people in the American public know who Li Shimin is?

What David paid attention to was this historical film of the Tang Dynasty, and the chief producer was actually Bai Xiaofei, that is, the person he was going to receive!

How to say it, Netflix is not the same as traditional production companies, its model subverts the traditional pattern of Hollywood, there are irreconcilable contradictions, if Xiaobai chooses to cooperate with Netflix, his situation in Hollywood will be difficult in the future!

“… It's good that it's just a TV series! ”

Sighing, he flipped down, and the phone rang.

"The café on the left side of the exit, I'm here!"

It was Bai Xiaofei, the appointed meeting place, David called Pani Kelis, that is, the person in charge of public relations named by Bai Xiaofei!

This is a celebrity in Hollywood!

There are a lot of battles to relish.

The most famous should be Kristen Stewart's split-leg door incident, which is obviously just a very simple little couple splitting legs, which directly caused Kristen Stewart to lose confidence in men and come out publicly...

Belch...

It's a bit of an exaggeration, but Kristen Stewart did cheat openly...

……

Xiaobai got off the plane, very comfortable feeling...

The temperature in Los Angeles is higher than in Beijing, otherwise how can it be called California sunshine!

"Hi David!"

After meeting, Xiaobai sat down.

"Something to eat?"

"Coffee and burgers!"

What can the United States have to eat? In addition to KFC, there are also Golden Arches ...

"Pani Kelis will be here in a moment, by the way, no congratulations yet."

“… Congratulations on what? ”

"Didn't you work with Netflix?"

“… Oh, that's just a preliminary cooperation agreement, and it's still early to implement it. ”

Xiaobai didn't care, picked up the burger and took a bite...

It tastes weird, and it doesn't smell salty...

I took a bite, swallowed it, and didn't have the guts to take a second bite.

“… This time, I mainly want to meet Jim Carrey, "The Man on the Moon", there are many places I want to talk to him! ”

"No problem, it's already an appointment, you can meet the day after tomorrow!"

"Thank you!"

“… Xiaobai, in terms of public relations..."

"You have to worry about public relations, I can only stay for a week at most, "Kung Fu" is ready to shoot!"
