I want to make headlines

Chapter 503 Good News

Every actor wants a statuette, especially a nominee, and even more than a two-time nominee.

Well, this is the third time for Gan Jing, he suddenly found that he seems to be an old fritter.

What I have seen and heard these days is a lot of pressure. This kind of pressure cannot be expressed in interviews, talk shows, or in interviews. In the end, he expressed it in front of the team and Zhou Dongyu.

Everyone was astonished, but soon pretended to be okay and continued to go about their business. It was not indifference, but the work at hand was helping A-Gump achieve his goal.

Only Zhou Dongyu felt a little pity at this moment. This is how Uncle Gan is under pressure under the halo.

After letting himself go for a while, Gan Jing quickly calmed down the surging emotions in his heart, and said to Zhou Dongyu who was still in a daze: "Sit down, I have tried my best so far on the matter of actor, and the final result will be as it is. "

Zhou Dongyu, who came back to his senses, saw Uncle Gan rubbing his hands unconsciously, knowing that he still cared, and he was still not as relaxed as on the surface, and he smiled gently, which was very different from the usual spooky horse.

"Uncle Gan, I believe you can do it."

The girl raised her head slightly, extremely serious.

The late winter sunshine in Los Angeles shone through the window on her slightly fluttering eyelashes, making her look warm and devout for a while.

Gan Jing's heart moved, and the words in his throat that wanted to perfunctory the girl didn't blurt out, and finally turned into a smile: "Yeah." There is still a dream, after all, I have been working hard for it.

"Come here, let me tell you about this script." Gan Jing beckoned, signaling Zhou Dongyu to sit next to him. He took out the script received by the studio, opened the page he marked, and planned to talk about his own experience with this script. understanding of the story.

This is a domestic script that Lao Chen received an invitation to act in. The story is not bad. Gan Jing studied it in his spare time these two days, and it happened that Zhou Dongyu was here so he could start a small talk for her.

Although this role is not suitable for her, but privately speaking to each other and talking about stories can also have an analogy effect on other scripts.

Zhou Dongyu gave a "buzz" in a nasal voice, sat aside, and glanced at the sentence drawn on the page.

——Maybe he won't take me on a yacht and eat French food.But he can run a few streets for me every morning to buy my favorite soy milk fritters.

……

The day when the 85th Oscars will be presented on February 2 is getting closer and closer. The American public opinion media basically believe that this time it will be Daniel's third time to win the Best Actor award, and it will be the third time that Forrest Gump will shed tears on the Oscar stage—— Of course, regardless of whether you Forrest Gump is sprinkling or not, you have to write it as sprinkling.

Despite the overall situation, Andy comforted the already unprecedented oriental actor.

"This situation has proved that you and Daniel have a 90.00% possibility. The boss and the second are fighting, and the third and fourth are already dead. According to our calculations, there is still a chance of fighting, at least not being punched kill."

For Andy's consolation, Gan Jing has always accepted everything according to the order.

During this period of time, while completing his own activities according to the established script, he also paid attention to Warner's efforts.

Because the United States has a "Lobbying Act" that stipulates that no more than two people can lobby each time, so he was fortunate enough to witness a series of lists made by the PR team, which is simply dizzying.

There are more than 6000 judges in the Oscars. If you remove those who definitely like/dislike the youth pie, the swingers with ambiguous attitudes will accept private movies, reception parties, phone emails...

Of course, these all require money, but these funds are paid by Warner, which really makes Gan Jing very satisfied. The feeling of burning tens of millions of dollars under his own name-if you don’t predict the result, then it’s true. It's pretty cool.

As of the day when Gan Jing seriously learned about the inside story of public relations, the advertising fee for one page of the authoritative magazine "Hollywood Report" has reached more than 7 US dollars, which is equivalent to 45 Chinese dollars. It's not just a one-page affair, often costing hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time.

This situation became more and more crazy as time approached. Even though Gan Jing himself was not short of money, he still clicked his tongue when he found out.

This Oscar Best Actor simply didn't come from acting, but from burning money!

He sometimes wondered, if he had spent the same amount of money in the first two times, would he have become the actor by accident?

Andy gave a positive answer to the question that A-Gump couldn't help asking.

——"Even if money is spent, it is not easy to spend wisely. Magazines such as "Hollywood Report" and "New York Times" are no longer simply a matter of money. Competitors have their own resources to get stuck in a certain period of time. Moreover, the preferences, tendencies, and backgrounds of many Oscar judges are a database accumulated year by year, which is kept secret. Every public relations company and film and television giant has such resources.”

At this point, Gan Jing was amazed and realized that the joint lobbying of giants like Warner and Fox meant not only the payment of funds, but also the cooperation of resources.

Thanks to this, with one week left before the awards day, the public team got the estimated number of simulated votes, and Andy was the first to know, and he quickly announced the good news to Forrest Gump.

"Daniel should only be ahead of us by about a thousand votes."

Before answering the phone, Gan Jing was giving Zhou Dongyu a small talk, thinking about how to refuse the film contract of this script. After he heard the "good news" on the phone, he couldn't tell the truth about Andy's serious tone for a while. Are you ironic.

There are a total of 6000 judges, and he leads by 1000 votes?
What kind of good news is this?

Gan Jing held the phone, took two steps forward, resisted the urge to growl into the microphone, and said in a low voice, "Did you read an extra 0?"

Andy gave an affirmative answer: "1000! 1000! 1000!"

This number three times in a row must be certain, Gan Jing can only sigh: "Then what kind of method is it?"

"Of course it's because the gap in the number of votes is shrinking. Although there is still a slight gap, it is shrinking!" Andy emphasized, "Narrowing means dawn."

"Didn't the number of votes be kept secret by PwC's audit?" Gan Jing remembered this. According to regulations, outsiders should not know the number of votes.

Andy snickered on the other end of the phone: "In principle, this is the case, and we are just estimating."

"Is there any other good news?" Gan Jing was helpless.

"There's one more bad news." Andy's voice finally got a little heavy, "You don't have much time left."

When Gan Jing heard this tone, he didn't know why, he thought it should be a normal tone: "Then, what else can I do?"

There was silence on the phone for a while.

"Pray, pray to God for protection." Andy said.

Gan Jing shook his head and hung up the phone.

However, soon...

God has manifested.
