Chapter 403 Public Relations Strategy
Sheena Boone then looked at the phone book and then made the next call.
The phone book not only contains the names of the contacts, but also their preferences, taboos, etc. It can be said that the investigation is quite detailed.
Little Gilbert doesn't know much about Oscar public relations, but he has people who do, so he can just leave these matters to professionals.
Sheena Boone's long round of phone calls finally came to an end.
Little Gilbert handed her a glass of water, and Sheena Boone drank it all in one go before taking a breath and stretching.
"The communication was very good and they all agreed to support you," Sheena Boonhui reported.
Little Gilbert nodded and said to Sheena Boone: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll thank you for your hard work during this time."
"It's not hard work, this is what I should do." Sheena Boone calmed down and continued: "These influential judges can drive the judges around them to vote for us.
However, I’m afraid you need to contact the Italian judges and Jewish judges in person. "
"I have been contacted a long time ago," Little Gilbert gave a reassuring look: "I have already spoken with Director Coppola and Director Spielberg on the phone, and they all support me."
Director Coppola's daughter Sofia still works at Little Gilbert's Melon Studio, and recently took Scarlett to film "Lost in Translation."
For the sake of his daughter and the continued power of the Italian gang in Hollywood, Director Coppola will also support little Gilbert.
Needless to say, Spielberg is the real mentor of little Gilbert. Without his help, little Gilbert would never have been able to establish himself so quickly.
After he gets old, the Jewish forces in Hollywood are in urgent need of a new person to lead Hollywood. This person is Little Gilbert, so Spielberg will definitely support Little Gilbert.
Although Martin Scorsese also called Spielberg, hoping that he would support him.
But Spielberg can only say sorry. He really has to support little Gilbert this year, otherwise it will be inappropriate both emotionally and rationally.
These two great directors say hello to their respective circles, and those judges with voting rights will naturally vote for little Gilbert.
There are more than 6,000 Oscar judges, and it is impossible to bribe them all.
But the more than 6,000 judges are basically divided into several large circles. If you bribe the big guys in the circle or communicate well, your chances of winning will be greatly increased.
Public relations expert Marco Wald suggested: "In addition to the work of the judges, the media also needs to work hard. I suggest that the media start publicizing the achievements of these people."
Gilbert Jr. adopted this suggestion, and the media owned by Disney and Time Warner, those media that had a good relationship with Gilbert Jr., or that Gilbert Jr. controlled openly or covertly, began to exert their efforts.
"Throughout the history of Hollywood, you will be hard-pressed to find a director as talented as Gilbert Jr. This is God's gift to Hollywood." - "The Hollywood Reporter".
"It is an exaggeration to say that Gilbert Jr. is a key figure in Hollywood's globalization, but without Gilbert Jr.'s movies, Hollywood's globalization strategy would not be realized so smoothly." - "Variety" magazine.
"In more than eleven years in the industry, Gilbert Jr. has contributed to many wonderful films, including "Saving Private Ryan," "The Matrix," "Chicago," and the "Lord of the Rings" series.
He has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Director many times and won the award once. His films revolutionized Hollywood and are the objects of imitation. His contribution to the film industry is indelible. ”—Los Angeles Business Journal.
During awards season, the media is always buzzing with activity.
Little Gilbert also stayed in Los Angeles for a while, attending some events and parties, keeping in touch with the judges, and becoming familiar with them.
This is work that must be done. After all, if you want to win awards, you cannot be superior.
Oscar himself is very proud, but Oscar never likes condescending people. Oscar will be very angry if you use this attitude to compete for awards.
However, this year's "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" does feel a bit unstoppable. After all, the accumulation of the first two works, if the third film does not award an Oscar, the outside world will definitely explode.
After completing these key public relations tasks, Gilbert Jr. returned to the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" again and completed the finishing work of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Next, little Gilbert will be busy with two tasks, one is to continue the public relations for the Oscar Awards, and the other is the post-production work of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
The first trailer for "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been edited and will be shown at Super Bowl halftime. However, because he was busy with Oscars and post-production matters, little Gilbert was unable to experience the charm of the Super Bowl this time.
There was no regret at all. Apart from the halftime show, he couldn't understand the content of the game.
For this "Pirates of the Caribbean" soundtrack work, Little Gilbert once again asked his old acquaintance Hans Zimmer to collaborate.
Today, Hans Zimmer is already a gold medal soundtrack master in Hollywood. He has also established his own studio and his business is very good.
The soundtrack he composed for "Pirates of the Caribbean" is very different from his previous life, especially the song "He's Pirate".
After hearing this piece of music, little Gilbert could only say that the familiar feeling came back.
When Hans Zimmer saw that little Gilbert had finished listening to the score, he quickly asked: "How was the effect?"
Little Gilbert said he was very satisfied: "It's very good. When I heard this piece, I already thought of Captain Jack's appearance. Your score is very visual."
"That's great," Hans Zimmer said with relief, as long as little Gilbert was satisfied.
Although he is one of the top score masters in Hollywood, Gilbert Jr. is the top director in Hollywood. The opportunity to work with a director like this doesn't come around every day.
Therefore, Hans Zimmer attaches great importance to this opportunity for cooperation.
In addition to the soundtrack, Little Gilbert is also focusing on the special effects production at Orange Studio, which is now almost completed.
After training in many movies, Orange Studio has now joined the ranks of Hollywood's top special effects production, and can even compete with the digital field and Industrial Light and Magic.
But in fact, in the past few years since its establishment, Xiangcheng Special Effects Studio has not been able to achieve profitability.
The reason is simple, because the special effects industry progresses with the development of the times. In recent years, with the development of computer hardware, the development of the special effects industry has ushered in a high-speed stage.
Innovation and research and development of new technologies require money.
Therefore, Gilbert Jr. has been increasing investment in technology research and development in special effects studios, and a large amount of funds and talents have been gathered into Orange Studio.
At the same time, Orange Studio has also reached cooperation with hardware companies to jointly develop new hardware.
For example, NVIDIA, the GPU invented by its company is very helpful for computer graphics calculations. Orange Studio has directly reached cooperation with NVIDIA.
At this time, NVIDIA is a unicorn company in the IT industry, and its scale is not very large.
Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang once rejected investment from Gilbert Jr. and Bill Gates, and developed and operated the company independently.
But a burst of bubbles in the Internet industry also affected Nvidia, which was mainly in the hardware industry.
Recently, Huang Renxun has sought a new business expansion direction, developing the next generation of GPUs, so he continued to raise funds, so he accepted a US$450 million investment from Fruit Company, making Fruit Company one of Nvidia's shareholders.
David made a detailed report on this investment, but Gilbert Jr. did not participate.
But it doesn’t matter if you get it, you won’t have to worry about graphics card issues when playing games in the future. After all, he is a shareholder, so getting a graphics card is not a problem, right?
However, the function of GPU to help special effects production is something that little Gilbert has thought about for a long time.
He had previously told the person in charge of Xiangcheng Studio that they should pay attention to the development of the hardware industry and ensure that any new technologies that emerge would help the special effects industry continue to progress.
One day, the pictures produced by special effects will become better and better and more realistic.
But so far, the quality of real-life shots is still inferior to that of special effects production.
