"It is a great pleasure to see you, King; Mrs. Wang, your dress today is so in line with your temperament! This time, Bertolucci personally came to the door to greet them, after such a long time of cooperation, Shen Long's status in his heart has been greatly improved, and he is no longer just a soundtrack.

"Bernardo, I've been reading articles praising you in the newspapers every day lately, and I think you'll win the Oscar for Best Director this time!" Shen Long has spoiled in advance, in fact, "The Last Emperor" has won a total of nine Oscars, even if it is placed in the entire history of the Oscars, it can be regarded as a big winner.

"Haha, that's what I called you over today to talk about!" Bertolucci lowered his voice, whispered in Shen Long's ear, and then led him inside.

Shen Long saw the main creative staff of the crew, representatives of the distribution company, etc., and there were a few people Shen Long had not seen, and only after listening to Bettrudge's introduction did he know that these people were all representatives of Hollywood public relations companies, and they were also candidates with major interests in the film.

"Wang, congratulations, according to the news I received, you and David have a high probability of being selected for this year's Oscar for Best Original Music, of course, whether they can win it successfully requires our joint efforts." The representative of the distribution company enthusiastically stood up to greet him, and the best box office situation improved, and Shen Long was a great hero.

I understand this, I also helped others run the Oscars back then, and I am very clear about the doorway here, but unfortunately this time the many unions of the Oscars are not under my control, otherwise it would be a matter of one sentence to win the award.

"Qi Ming!" Guo Yan was a little nervous when she heard this, they hadn't won awards before, but most of those were small awards with relatively limited influence, but this time it was an Oscar!

"And the Grammys, we're also trying to figure out how to help with the operation, and today's meeting is here to discuss this, guys, we're going to do something big!" Bertrucci's agent said.

This surprised Shen Long a little, he knew that "The Last Emperor" could win the Oscar for Best Original Music, but it seemed that it didn't win anything at the Grammy Awards, what was going on? After thinking about it for a while, Shen Long understood that in the original plane, the music of "The Last Emperor" was done by David Byrne, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Su Cong, and their influence on the Grammys was relatively limited, but this time it was replaced by himself.

Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of prestige in the United States, and he has also met many insiders in the music industry, especially those music critics, who have a certain say in the shortlist candidates for the Grammy Awards; And the recent hot sale of "Memories of the Forbidden City" has set off a New Age craze in the United States, and many New Age masters have come out to stand up for themselves, in this case, if the Grammys ignore themselves, it will cause public dissatisfaction.

"It would be a good thing for all of you to win the award, so I hope you can bear the cost of winning the award a little bit!" A representative of the distribution company was the convener of the meeting, and he also prepared a PR plan, "We invited the best PR agency in Hollywood to help us win the awards. ”

"Qi Ming, why do you have to spend money to win the award?" Guo Yan once again felt that the beautiful image of the United States was broken in her heart, when she was in China before, she was dissatisfied with the interference of other factors in various award and evaluation activities, but she didn't expect that now the big guy would talk about the plan to spend money to win the Oscar.

"If you want to win an Oscar, how can you do it without spending money?" Do you really think America is heaven, Harvey Weinstein? If he weren't good at using public relations activities to help people win Oscars, he would have been able to handle so many female stars?

In fact, Chinese films have suffered a lot in this regard, Zhang Yimou's "Ju Dou" had a good chance to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, but Zhang Yimou and his partner company did not know the doorway of Hollywood and did not carry out public relations activities, which finally led to the award being lost and awarded to the Swiss film "Journey of Hope".

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's first determine the prize we are going to attack! Based on the results of our survey, we intend to focus on the following awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Editing, Best Sound Effects, Best Original Music......" Representatives of the PR agency used slides to explain the proposal.

"Why is there no Best Actor or Actress? Not even a supporting role? Shen Long raised his hand and asked, this is a bit abnormal, generally speaking, movies that have the hope of hitting the best picture, no matter what they do, they have done a very good job, you must know that a good one is inseparable from the excellent performances of the actors.

According to Shen Long's memory, the vast majority of directors who have the hope of hitting the best picture, even if the actor does not win the award in the end, he can still get one or two nominations for the best actor and actress.

"Sir, there are no outsiders here today, so I'll be honest, Hollywood is not without prejudice, and it is still difficult for them to accept the best Asian actor and actress, and we can't create unnecessary trouble for ourselves; Mr. Zunlong's performance is indeed admirable, but he can only be nominated for the Golden Globe Award at most, and the Oscar is hopeless, so in order to avoid causing dissatisfaction among the academy members and causing other awards to be sidelined, we have to give up this award! Said a representative of the PR agency.

This is also because they are meeting in private now, and everyone is discussing topics that cannot be made public, so he is so straightforward, "It is also for this reason that there is no impact on the supporting actor award, otherwise the supporting actor is nominated or even won the award, but the protagonist has nothing to gain, which will also cause unnecessary trouble." ”

Guo Yan's face was even more ugly, she originally felt that she had gradually entered the upper class society in the United States, but she didn't expect that in the eyes of Americans, looking at them like people, she still wore colored glasses.

Shen Long shook his head, he remembered the heroine of "The Last Emperor", she tried her best to stay in the United States and wanted to enter Hollywood, who knew that Hollywood was prejudiced against her from the beginning, and it was impossible for her to achieve anything here.

Maybe it's nothing now, because even if she can only play some very inconspicuous roles in the United States, she will earn more than starring in China, but in another twenty or thirty years, I don't know what she will think when she sees the same batch of female stars in China who are far inferior to her in the year? Will you regret it?
