Stories will be on the page from tonight until tomorrow.

If the other party wants to smear again, in fact, they don't have much time.

The ballot papers that should be sent will be sent out today and tomorrow, and the final public relations work has been completed, and the results are basically decided.

In the last two or three days, Lu Ping'an's task was to have dinner with some suspected members, chat, and gather some members in Los Angeles who had not yet voted.

But overall, this probably doesn't affect much of the outcome.

It's just that it should be done or it has to be done.

In the next three days, Lu Ping'an socialized all the way.

Various dinners and interviews.

With the popularity of "Chainsaw" and "Clarifying PR".

Lu Ping'an saturated the final stage of public relations.

On the 18th, the Oscar voting was completely closed.

The Oscars are in the final stages of preparation, and the awards ceremony is on the 23rd.

These days, it's the show time of various Hollywood stars.

Although there is no competition involved, everyone will take advantage of this opportunity to compete.

At this time, the domestic media also arrived one after another.

The creators of "Heroes" are also here.

Lu Ping'an doesn't care about them, he only cares about the group of people in Shangmei Factory and his own team.

When they arrived in Laomei, Lu Ping'an took them around.

On the 23rd, Lu Ping'an and Lao Mouzi were interviewed by domestic media together.

At present, the domestic media know that Lu Ping'an was smeared a few days ago, and then clarified.

And then now "Memory" is a hit.

Some North American media even said that if "Memory" does not win the award, it will be an upset!

This has made many domestic media very excited.

It feels like a win.

Sure enough, Lao Mei is still fair!

The reporter asked: "How do you feel about the American media and the public being so optimistic about "Memories", Lu Dao? ”

What does it feel like?

The feeling of spending money!

"Normalize your heart."

Lu Ping'an told the truth.

The domestic media is not very clear about the way about public relations.

He didn't bother to explain, at this time the explanation was a bit of a tear down of the Oscar stage, and it was unnecessary.

Then the media asked about "Hero".

Although the reputation of "Hero" in China is not good, and the box office is far less than expected, in the past February, "Hero" won an award at the Berlin Film Festival, and the reputation of overseas releases after that is also good, at least much better than that in China.

At present, there are foreign monks in China who are good at chanting, so for a while, everyone's expectations for "Hero" to win the award are much higher.

And for this kind of expectation, Lao Mouzi naturally responded silently.

If others don't understand, he must know the situation.

So it's only right not to say more.

In the afternoon, Lu Ping'an's mobile phone clicked.

They are all kinds of cheering text messages from China.

Lu Ping'an replied one by one, and then quietly waited for the tailor to help him change his dress.

This year's Oscars canceled the red carpet due to the US-Iraq war.

But there is still a dress sponsorship.

The brand sponsoring Lu Ping'an this time is a big name, it is Versace.

For this brand, Lu Ping'an thought of Ke Shouliang's lines in "Crazy Boy": "I'm wearing a Vasaki, how can I fight?" ”

Since then, the luxury brand of Versace has been known to him.

And now, he doesn't have to pay for it, and he can still make $1.5 million.

This is the endorsement fee, one year, a total of two years, and the endorsement level is the spokesperson in China.

This time I earned back the PR fee.

It's just that Lu Ping'an is calm about this.

Because the appearance seems to have increased a lot of points here

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Lu Ping'an dressed up neatly and went to the Hollywood Kodak Theater in Los Angeles with Shangmei Factory, Bao Qingqing and others.

When he arrived at the place, Lu Ping'an clearly felt the difference between the Laomei Award Ceremony and the three major European ones.

In contrast, although the three major European ones pay more attention to etiquette, the atmosphere is more casual.

The main difference, in Lu Ping'an's opinion, may be because there are not many Chinese here.

There are quite a few yellow people, and "Spirited Away" was also shortlisted for this awards ceremony, and it will win the Best Animated Feature Film award in the evening.

But except for Miyazaki, the rest of the Japanese, Lu Ping'an really can't mention the intimacy at all.

And he could tell at a glance whether these were Japanese or not, and they all nodded when they spoke, and they were annoyed when they looked at them.

There are also quite a lot of Chinese in "Heroes".

When he arrived at the place, Jiang Zhiqiang, the producer of "Hero", came up and chatted with Lu Ping'an.

He was well-informed and soon asked about "Chainsaw".

"Chainsaw" has been released in Lao Mei, with a box office of 86 million, which is quite explosive.

After that, it will be released one after another around the world, and this time I am afraid that it will have to rely on more than 130 million.

A Chinese director has achieved such good results in Hollywood, what does it mean, Jiang Zhiqiang naturally understands.

So he asked: "Will Director Lu develop in Hollywood in the future?" ”

Jiang Zhiqiang's overseas distribution channels are still powerful, and he is the promoter of the project "Hero".

Lu Ping'an replied: "It depends on the situation, the country is still the basic market." ”

Jiang Zhiqiang nodded and said: "Hollywood is a thought of heaven and a thought of hell, this time your work is a big hit, everyone will praise you, next time your work is not good, no matter what the previous results are, everyone will abandon it, especially for the Chinese, Wu Yusen is a typical example, so you are right to grasp the domestic fundamentals." ”

Jiang Zhiqiang still doesn't know that Lu Ping'an has the majority of "Chainsaw", he thinks that Lu Ping'an just entered Hollywood as a director.

However, Lu Ping'an did not plan to clarify, there was no need.

In addition, what Jiang Zhiqiang said was indeed right, Lu Ping'an nodded and continued.

Then Jiang Zhiqiang asked: "Do you have a plan for Lu Dao's next work?" ”

"Domestic, it's not determined for the time being, let's go back and talk about it."

"If you have a plan, you can contact me at any time."

Jiang Zhiqiang handed out his business card as he spoke, "If the road guide wants to cooperate with any big Chinese brand, I can help." ”

"I know Boss Jiang's strength, let's talk again if we have a chance."

"Okay."

After a brief chat, followed by Lao Mouzi and others.

Lu Ping'an didn't have much prejudice against Lao Mouzi before 08, especially now that he was still abroad, so naturally he had to be good to me.

Of course, there is no good face for Zhang Weiping.

Zhang Weiping didn't want to talk to Lu Ping'an.

Isn't the slap in the face loud enough?

Before Lu Ping'an said that a film would be released soon, he thought it was Lu Ping'an who said it casually.

As a result, in Hollywood, $1 million is worth $86 million.

He even suspected that he had written the script.

After all, this is too much in line with his usual style of doing big things with little money.

But then I think about it, it's not possible.

Hollywood is so easy to get into.

chatted with Lao Mouzi for a few words, followed by Lian Jie, as well as Manyu, the International Chapter, especially the International Chapter, she was very excited tonight and had a strong desire to behave.

But unfortunately, her English level is not good, so she finally chatted with someone and couldn't talk a few words, which looked a little embarrassing.

So in the end, I still squeezed into the Chinese pile to talk.

It's just that the international chapter was just about to talk to Lu Ping'an, and someone else on Lu Ping'an's side had already come up to talk.

"Lu, meet again, I'm William of Lionsgate."

"Hello William."

The two had met at the St. Denis Film Festival before, and later Lu Ping'an investigated him, who was not a real shareholder of Lionsgate, but just a professional manager, so he had no interest in testing the offer.

But he can't, and the rest of the people here can now.

After all, today is the Oscar ceremony, and many of the people who come are big studios.

Soon Lu Ping'an met an old man from the world.

"Lu, hello, I'm Royce, your Chainsaw is great, I hope we can work together in the future."

Lu Ping'an glanced at the business card, retrieved the information collected these days, and found that this person was one of the shareholders of Universal, which was a bit weighty.

So Lu Ping'an asked directly: "Hello Royce, I'm curious, what kind of remuneration can be offered to a person as successful as you to be your boss, is it okay to have a blockbuster movie in three years?" ”

Again, the words that tested Watzberg at the beginning.

And that's not embarrassing.

Belongs to the category of "American communicative jokes".

Of course, there are still differences with authentic communicative jokes, for example, everyone will not bring the specific reward later when they joke.

But Royce obviously didn't take this seriously, he just thought that Lu Ping'an hadn't learned the essence of this kind of communicative joke.

On the contrary, because Lu Ping'an, as a Chinese, is willing to use such communication jokes to deal with people, which is worth encouraging.

At least it shows that the attitude of people to integrate into Hollywood and North America is correct.

Of course, if Lu Ping'an didn't have any fame, then he would naturally not have the attitude he has now.

So after hearing this, he replied with a smile: "A blockbuster movie in three years is not good in our world." ”

【Ding~】

The system shows.

This reward cannot be locked.

Also, people are global!

Royce finished laughing, and then seriously extended the invitation: "Lu, if you can come, we guarantee that the production cost of your first movie will not be less than 50 million US dollars!" The salary can be discussed, and I can guarantee that it will not be less than 3 million! ”

"Chainsaw" was a big hit, and the previous "Source Code" was also a big hit, so it was worth his price.

Lu Ping'an also has a general understanding of his current value in Hollywood to a certain extent.

"Sounds good."

Lu Ping'an nodded.

"Think about it."

Royce patted him on the shoulder, then blessed, "Good luck tonight." ”

"Thank you."

After Royce left, another person came, and it was still the Big Eight.

It can be seen that "Chainsaw" is indeed eye-catching, and these people will definitely know some of the real situation behind "Chainsaw".

So Lu Ping'an is really in demand now.

However, Lu Ping'an is still concocting the same method at the moment: "A successful person like you... ”

It's all the same old thing.

The visitors didn't care about it, and happily walked along the road with a safe joke.

And after a series of prompts from the system, Lu Ping'an also probably figured out the situation.

In short, it is a blockbuster movie in three years, and it is basically impossible to deal with the eight real power figures.

Some even said that only "The Lord of the Rings" could be made.

There is one in two years, but Lu Ping'an searched and investigated the background of the characters and found that they were only small shareholders, and the right to speak can now, but they will be pressed down at any time.

And those who can do it are the heads of small companies like Watzberg.

In this way, it might as well be Watzberg.

They have an actual controlling stake at the summit, a large proportion of shares, and a good place to cooperate.

But because the cooperation is very good, he doesn't plan to make a big production at the moment, so Lu Ping'an is not in a hurry to use it.

So unless there is a problem with the account splitting, I am afraid that we will have to look at the offer in Hollywood.

It's almost time to talk, it's time to enter the venue, and the international chapter that has been waiting and waiting, and coming back after leaving finally has a new opportunity to speak.

"Lu Dao, I'm Ziyi."

"Hello Miss Zhang."

"Lu Dao, you have a good relationship in Hollywood, I just saw that you have been chatting."

"It's okay, it's mainly a little bit of a result, everyone is just holding it, let's get in."

The crowd began to enter, and the international chapter could only swallow back what he wanted to say later.

Without the red carpet, this year's Oscars look relatively deserted.

However, they will still be interviewed before entering the venue.

So the short interview time has become a moment for actresses to compete for beauty.

At this point, the international chapter is quite powerful, and he actually chatted with the reporter for more than a minute.

It's just that the amount of information is very small, after all, her current spoken language is very average.

It was the turn of the road to be safe, and the reporter asked directly:

"Lu, have you thought about your acceptance speech?"

Lu Ping'an replied with a smile: "Haha, I hope I can use it." ”

After speaking, he left directly, similar to many male stars, there is no need to delay.

At this time, many netizens in China are also paying attention to the news of the Oscars.

The current capital time is around 11 noon.

The three major portals are live broadcast and reported in real time.

CCTV is preparing to broadcast it tomorrow.

After all, the current amount is actually not enough.

In terms of feature films, "Hero" is not very hopeful, and the people above know it.

And the short film is hopeful, but it is a short film after all.

However, there is no live broadcast, and the relevant manuscript must be ready.

Zhang Songwen ate, and then pulled Zhou Zhou Wei Baoqiang and others to stay in front of the computer, refreshing the news all the time.

Zhang Huijun, the president of Nortel, once again asked about the banner and the press release.

Regarding this impact on the Oscars, as the new principal, he naturally attaches great importance to it.

Otherwise, Lu Ping'an had it a few years ago, and he didn't have it when he came, what do others think?

In addition, although the Oscars are actually not as good as the three major in Europe at the moment.

But who has made the weight of the Oscars increase by leaps and bounds in recent years, and the number of awards won by Chinese people is extremely rare.

So he asked Secretary Dong calmly: "What kind of charter will you make after that?" ”

Secretary Dong replied with a smile: "I won the award, hang the banner tomorrow morning, Lao Zhang, don't worry, this kind of thing will come once a year, and we are already familiar with it." ”

Zhang Huijun nodded calmly after hearing this, and he had some confidence in his heart inexplicably.

Secretary Dong on the side also knew how to observe words and feelings, he didn't say anything, but just instructed the person in charge of the network in the office: "Refresh it again and see if there is any new news." ”

Mr. Fu, the person in charge, glanced at the time and said, "There is still more than half an hour." ”

That being said, but refresh still has to be refreshed.

As soon as the results were refreshed, it broke out on the portal that "Hero" was interviewed by reporters for more than a minute before entering the venue, and Lu Ping'an had less than five seconds.

Then I analyzed it and said that this is an unspoken rule, and the award will be interviewed for a longer time, and the time if you don't win the award will be shorter.

Zhang Huijun wondered in his heart, does Oscar still have this unspoken rule?

In addition to this, he thought more about the other side, although the directors of the two works are related to Nortel, but the two are different, the winner of "Hero" is an alumnus, and Lu Ping'an is a student in school.

Now that Lu Ping'an is about to miss Oscar by these overly sensitive media, Zhang Huijun suddenly feels that these people are really unlucky!

Secretary Dong still said: "I don't think the problem is big, and I'm lucky to be safe." ”

He knew Lu Ping'an's public relations situation.

Although he was also worried, he believed that Lu Ping'an was safe, and this kid's luck was really a little different in his opinion.

Minutes and seconds passed.

At 8 o'clock, the award ceremony began.

Then there is the opening words of a war.

Then the awards begin.

"When will the short film be awarded?"

Secretary Dong asked again in place of President Zhang.

How does Mr. Fu know, he is engaged in the Internet, and he has just been pulled to do things.

But the secretary asked, then just refresh.

Then, the best costume design, art direction and other small awards were awarded one by one.

Then, it's time for the best short documentary.

"It's a short film, and the next one should be."

President Dong reminded that Zhang Huijun suddenly came to his senses.

Mr. Fu also started the frequent refresh mode.

It wasn't until 5 minutes later that the media refreshed the newsletter: "Best Animated Short Film - "Memory Block House"! Congratulations on Lu Ping'an! ”

Seeing the text on the computer screen for the first time, Zhang Huijun couldn't sit still at all, he stretched out his fingers, trembled slightly and ordered Teacher Fu: "Hurry up, let them hang the banner!" ”
