Chapter 1145: Self-Inflicted Humiliation?
Okay, let's put aside the director's affairs for the time being, and then look at the members of the crew, including the male and female protagonists, the main actors in the crew are all young actors under the age of 10, and the order of the association does not seem to have any impact on these young actors.
Of course, it is impossible for "Harry Potter" to have no mature old actors, but the problem is that because of JK Rowling's request, the crew is not all Chinese like in the previous life, but 95% of them are also Chinese actors.
In fact, the people of the country are very happy about this incident in Hollywood, and the country is very disdainful of Hollywood, and now the so-called Oscars are rubbed on the ground like this, of course the people of the country are very happy, not to mention the salary given by Daqian, which is also very in line with their wishes.
So in the end, the news media found that in the face of Daqian's next new movie, the ban order of the Supreme Presidium was meaningless, and the movie was still shot very smoothly and happily, and the crew continued to release Reuters crew photos through the media, showing that the entire crew belonged to a cheerful shooting atmosphere.
This can make the entire Supreme Presidium angry, but there is no way to take Daqian, although some presidiums suggested that they directly let the theaters block Daqian's movies.
This is indeed a very feasible way, if you join the Supreme Presidium and have the ability to make all the theaters in the United States refuse to release Daqian's movies, then Boss Jia may really burst into tears.
However, the Supreme Presidium rejected this suggestion, because it had already been tested, and no theater would reject Daqian's film.
The reason is simple, so far, Daqian has released a total of three movies, namely two Pokemon series movies, and one Titanic movie.
The worst of these three movies, "Pokemon Mewtwo's Counterattack", has a global box office of $780 million, and "Pokemon Lokia's Explosion", which is still in theaters, has now exceeded $1 billion at the global box office, and has become a monster-level movie again.
Not to mention Titanic, the world's No. 1 box office movie that sold $2.4 billion at the box office.
Combined, the three films have already grossed more than $4.1 billion at the global box office.
As a theater chain, it can directly share 50% of the total box office of the movie, that is, the box office of more than $2 billion, which is a feat that other 100 films cannot achieve when they are bundled together.
If you ask theaters to refuse the release of such a movie, isn't it just for them to refuse the 2 billion box office? They will only agree to the request of the Supreme Presidium when their heads are broken, and your Supreme Presidium can still issue an Oscar for the best theater chain!
Therefore, the Oscar cannot affect Daqian movies at the theater level, but if it can't affect the theater chain, Daqian movies can be released normally, and things are basically unsolvable.
"Can we exert some influence on the film review, after all, most of the committee members are our ......people," said suddenly, a member of the presidium said suspiciously.
"It's useless, unless you have the ability to make it NC-17, but we all know the plot of "Harry Potter", this is a decent children's fantasy movie, and there is no possibility of being rated NC-17!" One member shook his head.
The United States also has a movie review system, and the classification is relatively comprehensive, starting with the G rating that can be watched by all ages, and then the PG that is recommended for adults to assist in watching; Then PG-13 is recommended for 13 years of age or older, R grade is recommended for 17 years of age or older, and finally NC-17 is recommended.
This NC-17 is more ruthless, it is forbidden to watch under the age of 17, and the content of the movie is basically very much, among which the more famous ones include Tony Leung, Tang Wei's "Lust and Caution", "xxx's 120 Days", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D" produced by Lionsgate and so on.
However, this film classification system is not stipulated by the Chinese government, but is rated by the United States Film Association established by major film groups.
So it's not mandatory, generally speaking, even if it's an R-rated movie, a 10-year-old child has to watch it, and no one stops him.
However, NC-17 is a little more special, because it is too colorful and violent, so the theater will not sell tickets to audiences under the age of 17.
For a movie like Harry Potter, which is obviously for children, once it is set at the level of NC-17, it means that it has lost more than half of the market, which is enough to deal a fatal blow to Daqian, so some members will propose to give Harry Potter the level of NC-17.
"It's not that it's not inoperable, I've read the book "Harry Potter", and in the last part of the movie, there are scenes of child wizards and various monsters, as well as terrifying two-faced people, and we used this reason to name him NC-17, which is also reasonable!" The member insisted.
"That's the same!" Everyone's eyes lit up when they listened, after all, the standard is set by people, as long as they have the heart to prevent a movie from being released, it doesn't matter how far-fetched it is.
"Okay, let's wait until "Harry Potter" is finished filming and submitted for review, before he submits it for review, it doesn't make sense for you to say more!" The head of the regiment waved his hand.
Now that "Harry Potter" has just started filming, when they submit samples for review, it will be August or September at the earliest, and there is still about half a year to go. Until dailies are not submitted, it is superfluous to say anything.
"Hey!" The members of the group also shook their heads, they really didn't have anything to do with Jia Yapeng now, they could only watch him go on proudly.
Just as everyone was about to leave the conference room and go home, one of the group's mobile phones suddenly rang, and he took out the mobile phone in his pocket, and then found that everyone around him was looking at him with strange expressions.
"What are you doing?" The man was startled.
"You old bastard, look what phone you're using!" A person next to him couldn't help but scold, and this member of the group glanced at his mobile phone, and the twelve-winged angel trademark on it was impressive.
"This is what I bought before...... It's a phone I bought a long time ago! The member of the group said with some embarrassment, they were still discussing how to deal with Daqian just now, and now he went to take out Daqian's mobile phone by himself, which was indeed very embarrassing.
"Aren't you going to change this phone?" There is a humane next to it.
"Hey, what's the matter? ......" The man smiled, didn't answer the question at all, and hurried to call.
Just kidding, even if Daqian Phone 2 is the cheapest new mobile phone, it will cost $1,200, how can he be willing to spend this money to change the phone.
"I see!" The call ended quickly, and the group member looked at the others around him with strange expressions.
"What's the matter?"
"Something to do with us?"
Seeing this guy's expression, the others also reacted, this is probably something related to the entire Supreme Presidium.
"That's right, just now, Daqian announced that he would create a global film award in the imperial capital of China, called the Imperial Capital World Film Art Awards!" The group pursed their lips and said, and the others were also confused.
They suddenly remembered that when Jia Yapeng was crazy at the Oscars a few days ago, he did say that he was going to hold a movie award.
I didn't expect the other party to really do what he said, and in just a few days, the World Film Awards will be held.
It's just that after the initial daze, everyone who reacted couldn't help laughing, and the more they laughed, the happier they became, and some people couldn't even laugh straight.
Just kidding, in terms of capital and cinemas, the Supreme Presidium may indeed have no way to take Daqian, but isn't it ridiculous that you can't go to your own turf and have to run into Oscar's own chassis to humiliate yourself?
