Chapter 183 Oscar’s Hundred-fold Economy
Although "Brokeback Mountain" is also very powerful, "WALL-E" is also not a vegetarian.
The previous "WALL-E" did not win the best screenplay in 2008, but the story of "Juno" that year was indeed brilliant.
And when this movie failed to compete for awards including Best Film, Best Actress, etc., the Best Screenplay was somewhat of a compensation.
If it were a fair competition, "Wall-E" would not necessarily lose.
Pitt agreed with Chen Linfeng's statement to a limited extent,
"The key public relations content of "Brokeback Mountain" is the best film, director and best actor. The priority of the script is definitely lower.
But if "Brokeback Mountain" wins Best Picture, we won't get Best Adapted Screenplay."
Before the Oscars, the public didn't think much of "Crash", and Pitt didn't at all. I thought that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway.
Chen Linfeng did not refute that it was really hard to imagine that he would win the biggest prize in an upset.
After the three of them tallied up the Oscar awards, Chen Linfeng asked, "Does anyone want to go with me to the Oscar awards party in a few days?"
Pitt shrugged, "I have no reason to go, and even if When I arrived at the scene, I also walked through the guest aisle, which is different from the celebrity red carpet."
Sister Mei also refused, "I am just an agent, not suitable."
Chen Linfeng was distressed. "I can't walk the red carpet alone when the time comes."
In the evening, Liu Qianqian called and asked about his situation in the beautiful country.
Chen Linfeng gave a rough description, talking about the situation of walking on the red carpet without anyone accompanying him.
"Why don't you come and join in the fun?"
"I'm not going, I'll be laughed at if I try to show up on the red carpet."
"Are you my friend? , the Oscar awards party originally stipulated that a relative or friend could be invited to the party. "
"That's not possible. I am an actor and I can't afford to embarrass this person."
"There is really no other way but to ask someone to help contact a female star to walk on the red carpet together."
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little unhappy, "Why are you telling me this? You can go find her if you want." Let’s find it.”
……
After talking on the phone, Chen Linfeng used the hotel’s equipment to watch the animated short film brought by Pete.
To be honest, it’s not very good-looking, but as Pete said, this movie is likely to please the old white men in the academy.
However, my works are not bad and are more universal. It is not yet known who will win. It depends on God’s will.
The 2006 Oscar Awards will be held on March 5 at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
Under the arrangement of Pete, Chen Linfeng started choosing clothes and styling at noon.
I heard that some actresses start dieting earlier, and some even start dieting several days in advance in order to look good in dresses.
As for walking on the red carpet, Chen Linfeng still thinks wrong. The organizer will take most of the circumstances into consideration in this regard, such as the order and combination of people.
If you are alone, the organizer will also be responsible for helping to find matching celebrities. Walking the red carpet alone is generally the treatment of a few big-name celebrities.
This situation for Chen Linfeng was not uncommon in previous years. The female companion the organizer found for him was an acquaintance, Scarlett Johansson.
Her previous role in "Lost in Translation" won the Oscar for Best Screenplay and three nominations, and she was also on the invitation list.
The two agreed to meet at the venue.
As evening approached, the car drove near the theater, and there were already many luxury cars gathered here.
Over at the celebrity aisle, the media have also gathered and are now debugging equipment or making some opening remarks.
This time, as always, China sent the media to shoot. What is slightly different this year is that the scale of the media coming is much larger. There are not only official media such as CCTV such as Six Princesses, but also print media such as Hua Guo Film News, as well as online media such as Sina and Penguin.
The fact that so many media came is due to the special nature of this year’s Oscars.
The 2006 Oscars can be said to be the year in which Chinese people have the most sense of participation.
The works nominated for the Best Animated Short Film are directed by Hua Guo and produced by Hua Guo Shen Mei Studio.
The works nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay are original works by Chinese writers. Both awards are directly related to Chen Linfeng.
In addition, the directors of the nominated works for best film and director are also Chinese.
"Memoirs of a Geisha" starring Zhang Ziyi and starring Yang Ziqiong is also competing for Oscar awards.
The sense of presence is really strong. Some American media have mentioned this matter and exclaimed "China invades the Oscars", which is very charming of American journalism.
The Sixth Princess has obtained the rights to broadcast the scene and will delay the broadcast of the scene.
Relevant publicity in China started a few days ago. After two large-scale publicity campaigns for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Heroes", the Oscars have become very well-known in China.
Many people are paying attention to the news about this year's Oscars, and many viewers are already waiting to watch the broadcast.
In Central Plains Province, Chen Shantong, Wang Yanping and Shi Xiaolong were preparing to watch the Oscar broadcast early.
Shi Xiaolong was originally filming "Soldier Assault", so he took leave specifically for this matter and came back to watch the show with his parents.
The scene on the TV now is from the studio in the back. In addition to the Sixth Princess' own host, this time they also invited Tian Dazhuang as a guest.
Although Chen Linfeng was not taught by him, Tian Dazhuang is also very pleased that the students in his school can achieve such results.
He is explaining the economic value associated with the Oscars.
“There is a saying that Oscars are worth a hundred times, which means that once a movie wins an Oscar, its worth will immediately increase a hundred times.
Of course, this statement is a bit exaggerated, but It is true that winning an Oscar can increase the box office of a movie.”
"Teacher Tian, can you give us some examples?"
"The most typical example is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li An a few years ago. This movie is the most beautiful movie in the history of China so far. The only foreign film with a box office of over 100 million US dollars, Oscar helped a lot.
When the Oscars were not awarded, just by being nominated, many beautiful Chinese audiences came to the cinema. Going to watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, let alone after the awards, this is enough to prove the influence of the Oscars."
The host asked again, "Then the 'hundred' that the Oscar price has increased by a hundred times, is there any more? What about more detailed data? "
"Of course there is. According to industry statistics, roughly speaking, an Oscar nomination can increase the box office by about 30 million U.S. dollars, and winning an award will increase the box office by another 20 million U.S. dollars. .
Although this number will change depending on the situation every year, the economic benefits of the Oscars are certain, so there is a deep economic chain surrounding the Oscars. "
He wanted to talk about the chain of interests behind this, but the host knew what the audience wanted to hear and brought the topic back.
"So Director Li An, or Director Chen Linfeng, In addition to getting honors, is it possible to get subsequent financial benefits? "
"Yes, Li An doesn't need to say more. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has already been done once. Although Chen Linfeng's short film is not easy to be released in theaters, after winning the Oscar, it can be obtained Copyright income should increase a lot. "
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Tian, for your explanation. ”
Later, the host and Tian Dazhuang began to discuss the works related to themselves and the situation of their competitors.
Shi Xiaolong watched the CCTV program discussing his brother's enthusiasm and expressed his envy in real name.
He once again suspected his genetic problems. They were both born to the same mother, so why was there such a big difference?
It’s not because I came out first and absorbed less nutrients.
Alas~
