I want to make headlines

Chapter 902 Error (Two in One)

Being a star requires a lot of physical strength.

this point is very important.

In the play, Forrest Gump is an actor, but outside of the play, Forrest Gump is a star. Of course, many people have quietly updated the label now. This is a rich star.

That being the case, Gan Jing had no choice but to use his influence to help "The End of Oriental Art" be nominated for the Oscar list.

Like some public relations activities, such as celebrity communication and media interviews.

Like some private activities, such as pure or not pure reception, pure or not pure chat.

At the same time, at this point in time, other crews are also quietly busy with their work, and sometimes Gan Jing bumps into some crews who are determined to set foot on the stage of Dolby Theater next year.

Those who knew each other chatted a few words to update their contact information, and those who didn’t know each other smiled. Everyone knew what the other was busy with. After all, some influential Oscar judges just stood there blatantly and let others attack.

During this process, the team formed by Andy is also collecting information on competitors. Compared with last year, this year's documentary competition is a bit bigger.

Foreign documentaries don’t carry out too many public relations activities. In the United States, there are documentaries with clear focus such as "The Simpsons: Made in America", "I'm Not Your Nigger", and "No.13 Amendment".

Simpson is the famous rugby player murder case, black ghosts are commonplace racial discrimination that seems to never be resolved, and the amendment also starts from racial discrimination - No.13 Amendment refers to the No.13 Amendment to the US Constitution , the content is the abolition of slavery and forced labor.

The contents of these documentaries were collected and put before our eyes. Even a novice like Yang Aiyan who has no experience in public relations can see that they are all political correctness scratching the acupoints of Americans.

"Brother Gan, the judges must like to watch the film they made, right?" Yang Aiyan asked questions and worries after returning from a banquet with the boss.

Gan Jing didn't even need to look at his face, he could tell what this guy was worried about just by listening to his tone of voice.

"Hollywood and the Oscars have this kind of political correctness every year, but it's more or less that's all. In other words, this itself is a reflection of American social problems. Thinking about it this way, it's quite normal." Gan Jing explained, "Last year Didn't our award-winning "Padana" also aim at the financial problems of the film and television industry?"

"This year we are a cultural record. The judges must like to read their own problems?" Yang Aiyan asked.

Gan Jing nodded slowly: "Under normal circumstances, this is the case. But there is also a problem. The judges may also get tired of seeing the popularity year after year, and they may have a rebellious mentality. This is not something to consider now. It’s about being shortlisted first. Wait until next year, and our PR content will take advantage of this.”

Yang Aiyan casually flipped through the schedule on the table, and found that it was still densely packed with almost no rest, so he nodded resignedly. He was quite excited when he attended various events with the boss at the beginning, but he didn't know which glass of wine to drink later. He saw two words, fame and profit.

"Brother Gan, have you read the domestic news? Guo Degang has commented on you." Yang Aiyan tried to find some additional topics.

"Huh? I really haven't watched it recently." Gan Jing is really busy these days and doesn't care about it. Anyway, the country is the base camp, and Lao Chen is watching there.

"He said that the boss is the quintessence of Peking opera for more than a hundred years, and he is a man in Tsing Yi. Hey, I used to like to watch his cross talk when I was free to shoot material for the Peking Opera club. I like what he said." Yang Aiyan commented .

Gan Jing smiled: "The model of the Tan Family Peking Opera Club is a bit like his Deyun Club, but it is still far behind, let's take it step by step. When you talk about China, I think of something. You pass me the phone .”

Yang Aiyan got up and took the boss's phone from the desk and handed it over.

Beep beep, call Lao Chen's video.

It will be morning in China, and the light is very bright.

"What's the situation with you now?" Gan Jing asked directly.

"I don't know. I'm doing work, but the attitude of the higher-ups can be ambiguous." Lao Chen frowned in the video, "I don't think it's good enough."

Gan Jing said slowly: "Is my name not enough?"

"Your name is obviously good, otherwise, it is estimated that the bureau has already settled down." Old Chen said so.

Yang Aiyan saw that the boss didn't want to evade himself, so he listened carefully, but he couldn't understand the reason, so when the two stopped talking, he boldly asked: "What is it?"

"Submission of the best foreign language film in China." Although Lao Chen in the video did not see anyone, he could hear the voice of Yang Aiyan.

"Huh? Best foreign language film?" Yang Aiyan felt a little flustered just hearing such content.

The Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is a relatively well-known award in China. This is due to the media publicity of the year. Whether it was Zhang Yimou's "Hero" or Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there were numerous reports at that time.

Now, ten years later, can he actually be put together with such a senior's name?
Yang Aiyan smiled happily.

Seeing him like this, Gan Jing was speechless, shook his head and said, "Keep your smile down, I didn't say I'm giving you a movie, if you don't understand, it's just something."

Yang Aiyan smiled even happier, he grinned and said, "I'm pretty happy just thinking about it."

Come on, this is a good-for-nothing master.

Gan Jing ignored him, and asked Old Chen: "Since the General Administration is hesitating, it must be uncertain. Besides ours, who else is there?"

"Internal sources say it's "Da Tang Xuanzang." Old Chen said the name of the movie.

Gan Jing was a little surprised: "Why haven't I heard of this movie? Who played it? Who is behind it?"

"The one starring Huang Xiaoming was released in April in the first half of the year, and the box office wasn't very good." Lao Chen said the news he got, "China Film Group participated in the production, maybe they are behind it."

Gan Jing fell silent.

"Of course, there are no secrets in the circle. Like Huayi, they might hear the news and help "Da Tang Xuanzang". Maybe there are some people who don't want to see us." Old Chen's words sounded like they got it Some uncertain rumors.

"Although I haven't seen this movie, it sounds like a waste of quota to me." Gan Jing stroked his forehead.

"The domestic box office of this film is more than 3000 million. You feel about the same. I can understand that even though "Get Out! Mr. Tumor" was sent to participate in the election last year, the film is positive, and the box office has hundreds of millions. But this year the bureau is so indecisive, I am surprised." Old Chen was a little bit aggrieved as he spoke.

Yang Aiyan, who was listening next to her, was emotionally moved, and was a little bit aggrieved afterward.

Gan Jing rolled his eyes at this young director: "He has a box office of more than 3000 million. Are you proud of the box office of 340 million US dollars?"

Yang Aiyan's emotions were like a balloon that was punctured by a needle, and disappeared without a trace, and turned a little ashamed, yes... I am not as good as others...

This time, "The End of Oriental Art", a film that reflects the art of Peking Opera, is used to compete for the best documentary. Naturally, there is a long-planned plan, and aside from this, Hundred Days Red also hopes that it can go out for the country and do well. A wave of presence.

But the problem is that the right to send and select the best foreign language film is with ****.

The selection mechanism for the best foreign language film at the Oscars is different from other awards. Each country can only send one film representing its own side. Many films from different countries will have foreign language film judges vote secretly, and five works will be selected to form the finalists. list.

In the past two years, Feng Xiaogang's "1942" and Han Yan's "Get Out!Mr. Tumor, and of course it was not shortlisted.

It should be said that the last time it was shortlisted for the best foreign language film was Zhang Yimou's "Hero" in 04, and it has been 12 years so far.

"You send me two phone calls, and I'll call to inquire about the situation." Gan Jing thought and thought, and felt that he should fight for this opportunity. It would be fine if he sent some good film, such as "Da Tang Xuanzang" Sending it over is also a waste of quota, it is far worse than doing a lot of public relations activities on the film.

Old Chen answered, turned around, waited until he hung up the video, and immediately sent the phone numbers of the two leaders in the General Administration.

Gan Jing looked at the time, estimated the domestic work situation, and then said to Yang Aiyan: "Go to the hotel to have some barbecue and bring some wine. It will take a while to call."

Yang Aiyan nodded, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly realized that he stood at the door and turned around and asked, "Well, brother Gan, the barbecue wine and food are for you... and... Is there any food for me?"

Gan Jing raised his head and replied inexplicably, "Yes, what else?"

Yang Aiyan didn't answer, she shrank and went out of the room directly, ho ho, if you don't tell me clearly, who knows whether you are eating with the surname Si or the surname Hai, in that case, I have to find a way to give you two big kidneys.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Yang Ai carefully arranged a table of dishes and placed them in the boss's suite.

"I should be working for a while in China." Gan Jing calculated the time, poured wine from a glass, and took another bite of food, "Let's chat with the other party while eating."

Yang Aiyan had no objection, but felt that such a scene was a bit funny and weird.

The overseas call from the United States to Huaxia was quickly connected, and a middle-aged voice answered the call.

"Hi, I'm Gan Jing, the one who acted in the movie." Gan Jing first revealed his identity, "Hello, leader, I'm going abroad to promote the company's works, so I can only make a phone call when I return to China Immediately go to the bureau to visit."

""The Curtain of Oriental Art" is a good film that took two years to make. Even in the United States, it is well received. I met many Oscar judges here, and they all appreciate the quality of this film. content."

Gan Jing talked eloquently on the phone, drinking to moisten his mouth after speaking for too long.

Because the phone was not turned on, Yang Aiyan had no way of knowing the answer on the other side, but after the phone call lasted 10 minutes, he could clearly feel the boss's face darken.

After another 5 minutes, the call stopped, and Gan Jing held the phone in a daze.

Yang Aiyan silently ate the chives in his bowl, and then asked: "Boss, how is it?"

Gan Jing put his cell phone on the table and didn't have a second to call another number.

"Yang Aiyan, do you know the reason I heard on the phone?" He looked at the director of the documentary.

Yang Aiyan never thought that he was a smart person, so he guessed according to common sense: "Does it mean that the box office of the movie is not good?"

Gan Jing shook his head.

"So you think the film won't win the award?" Yang Aiyan guessed again.

Gan Jing sneered and continued to shake his head.

Yang Aiyan hesitated, what could be the reason?

Gan Jing sighed and said: "Sometimes film productions encounter unexpected situations, which requires the crew to be strong and tenacious. If you want to become a great director, sometimes you really have to learn to be wronged. "

"Why does this great director have such a big heart? It's all supported by being wronged."

"This time, the reason I heard is this..."

Gan Jing stopped being a joke, and said with a half-smile: "The title of the film is "The End of the Oriental Art". The leader thinks it's not right. The word "End of the Curtain" is not good. How can the end of the East Art be? Moreover, it is still on a global stage like the Oscars." Up and down."

Yang Aiyan never expected that there would be such a reason. Is this the wrong name of the movie?So if you change the name of the movie, you can pass it?
He was startled and stunned.

Is this reason a bit sloppy?
"Come on, have a drink. There's no need to make another call." Gan Jing smiled, only thinking it was funny.

Yang Aiyan scratched his head, unable to react for a while, he always felt that this was a joke...

However, when Yang Aiyan was alone in his room after dinner and returned to his room, he suddenly felt a little sad and regretful. This was his first play!Maybe there will be no such opportunities in the future!
A lot of emotions rushed into my heart, and Yang Aiyan finally remembered what the boss told him in advance, that the minds of great directors are all propped up by grievances!

Cover your head!sleep!
……

Domestic Hundred Days Red is continuing to fight for the chance of "The End of Oriental Art" being nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Overseas, Gan Jing is still leading Yang Aiyan and Tan's Beijing Opera Club to be shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Documentary Film.
