Chapter 29 Oscar
The globalization of Hollywood movies, as the most important part of the Hollywood movie awards season, has gradually covered the world's influence, and the annual Oscars are becoming more and more aspiring for film workers around the world.
Otherwise, our country would not have a special indicator every year called "Chongao Movie!"
The main reason why director Ang Lee is famous in the Chinese world is that he won two Oscars and Best Director.
Chen Lin was recognized and reported by the most mainstream media in China for the first time, and it was also because of his "Dallas Buyer Club" that won the Oscar for Best Picture.
Compare the three major Europeans and the Oscars.
The Oscars can increase the value of a movie or starring actor, while Venice, Berlin or Cannes can only increase the quality at most.
Moreover, many European directors and actors will regard the three major European directors as the stepping stone to enter Hollywood!
Unfortunately, there is no such awards season or influential awards ceremony in the Chinese film industry.
The HK Film Awards in the 1980s and 1990s could barely achieve the level of a Chinese-language film Oscar. After 1997, the Film Awards became more and more self-confessed. Now, at most, they can only be called "local awards!"
In fact, Chen Lin knew very well that this year's Oscars might come back empty-handed. Don't talk about the best foreign language film. To be honest, he could get four nominations. He knew that this was the reason why Bill's PR was very powerful.
"Son of Saul" is really in line with the eyes of the Oscar judges!
...
The spring is chilly, and even more so in Los Angeles.
As soon as I got off the plane, I could clearly feel the biting cold wind when I stood there.
“…It’s so cold!”
Liying pitifully retracted her hand into her pocket and looked at Chen Lin.
"I just wore a down jacket! Forget it, I'll give it to you!"
Chen Lin reluctantly took off his coat and put it on Ying Bao.
Liying flattered Chong Chenlin and smiled, wrapped her down jacket that was almost hanging down to the ground, and then asked, "Where are we going now? Are we going home?"
"Forget it, Bill has already arranged it, so we will rest at the Hilton Hotel on Hollywood Avenue..."
While speaking, a black business car drove to Shen Lin.
"Let's go, get in the car quickly, there's a cocktail party tonight..."
"And there is a cocktail party?"
Zhao Liying was a little unhappy. She had been working hard for more than ten hours, and she had to get off the plane with a smile on her face. Not to mention her, Chen Lin couldn't bear it.
"There's no way, this is what the awards season is."
Chen Lin patted Ying Bao's shoulder comfortably, and the latter fell into his arms.
Neither of them spoke, enjoying the tranquility.
After a long time, Liying asked, "…Chen Lin, do you think I may win the award this time?"
Chen Lin opened his eyes and looked at Liying, who seemed to be muttering to himself.
"...I can't say it well, but the possibility is very high. I looked at the actresses nominated this time. Apart from you, Kate Winslet has a chance."
"Fat Wen? Didn't you say before that Oscars would definitely arrange a scene where friends of ten years old meet?"
Zhao Liying woke up instantly, and she heard what Chen Lin said.
Before, Chen Lin was always confident that Fei Wen and Li Zi would win the Best Supporting Actress and Best Actor. Why is it not as sure as before?
"Half a month ago, Bill called me and said that Fei Wen's public relations manager this time was Weinstein. I guess that Fei Wen's probability of winning the prize is likely to be reduced!"
"…Why?"
Zhao Liying didn't quite understand what Chen Lin meant. According to what he said before, Harvey Weinstein was definitely a top-notch public relations expert. He personally planned "Shape's Love History" to kill "Save Soldier Ryan", and "The King's Speech" to kill "Social Network". That achievement is simply comparable to Su Qin!
Unfortunately, the trees are fascinated by the forest, and the wind will destroy them!
"Haha, now every time the awards season comes, the newspapers start to write soft articles about Weinstein's rich history of Olympics, and take stock of the popular movies he killed..."
"In recent years, Weinstein's Oscar strategy has lost more than wins. It is obvious that the academics have begun to be alert to Weinstein. After all, the Oscar cannot be named Weinstein!"
I briefly talked about the fact that I no longer like Harvey, and finally concluded: "The six traditional Hollywood studios did not pay much attention to these awards. They care more about whether movies can make money. However, in the past ten years, the six majors have not produced movies that are well-received. Instead, Weinstein began to call the wind and rain in the award ceremony. If it were you, you would be unhappy. It would be normal to put some legs on your legs."
“…So, is my chances of getting the Best Actress Award increased?”
After listening to Chen Lin's analysis, Liying suddenly became energetic and changed her previous slutty appearance. She stared at Chen Lin with big eyes and looked expectantly.
"Who knows this? But in comparison, your probability of winning the prize is more than that of Fei Wen."
Chen Lin didn't dare to make a promise.
Oscars can be public relations, but it is absolutely impossible to expose the results in advance.
No one knows what is in the envelope until the results are announced.
"What about Sister Gong Li? Does her best actress have a chance?"
"What do you think?"
Chen Lin did not answer directly, but instead asked back. Liying frowned, thought for a while, and replied seriously: "I think it is possible!"
Walt?
"Why do you have this view?"
Chen Lin held back his smile and prepared to listen to his wife's noble opinions.
"Because Sister Gong Li is so powerful, she is basically led by her when I act with her... Anyway, I just think Sister Gong Li is so powerful, she should win the award..."
Zhao Liying blushed the more she spoke, and finally shut her mouth.
"You are a fan's mentality, it doesn't count. If the Oscar judges were the same as you, then Little Little Little Brad Pitt would have won the Best Actor!"
Chen Lin laughed out loud, Liying was very dissatisfied: "Then do you think that Sister Gong Li may win the award?"
"The possibility is very low. First, it is already very difficult to win a supporting actress in a foreign language film. Do you still want to win the heroine? Nominating you is already the most kind way to do it; secondly, although Sister Gong Li's acting skills in "Carol", it is not a stunning or a big acting skills. In addition, the number of nominees this year is very good, especially Brie Larson's performance in "The Room", which is very memorable; let's put it this way, if Gong Li wins an award, unless..."
Chen Lin thought for a long time, but he really couldn't think of any good metaphor.
“Unless Oscar is ready to take the socialist route…”
While the two were chatting and laughing, the car was parked at the entrance of the largest Hilton Hotel on Hollywood Walk of Fame.
"Shen, you're finally here!"
Bill stood at the door and saw Chen Lin get out of the car, and immediately surrounded him enthusiastically.
Chapter completed!
