You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 147 Hotel Knocking Night, Nomination Deadline (3 words plus more)
Since the Netease blogger posted the North American box office data for the first week of "Juno", and because Jia Zhangke was dissatisfied with "The Good Man in Three Gorges" due to the low film schedule, he fired on the double sheet, and then Bona's "Scarred City" also joined the battle , At this time, the attention of the domestic entertainment media is all attracted by the Lunar New Year stalls.

As a result, online and offline attention to "Juno" plummeted, and several major portal websites and official media almost stopped mentioning the movie and King Power.

Maybe I also feel that it is meaningless to say it, and it cannot boost the morale of the people of the country, but it is easy to make fun of the royal power.

In fact, some overseas bloggers occasionally post during this period, saying that "Juno" has won some awards, and the box office is getting stronger day by day. The United States and even the United Kingdom are discussing this movie.

But take a closer look, what Florida Film Critics Award for Best Director, what Detroit Film Critics Award for Best Film is No. 2, where did the Pheasant Award come from, I am ashamed to say.

There is also the box office. It has been almost a month since it was released, and the total box office has only exceeded [-] million, which is far from before.

It was in this environment that "Juno" returned to the eyes of the Chinese people with seven nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, and it was the film with the most nominations this year. It's still the light of the Chinese!
Although Chinese people are confused about the relationship between the Golden Globes and the Oscars, they only recognize two American film awards, the first Oscar and the second Golden Globe.

Needless to say about the Oscars, Chinese people are familiar with the Golden Globe Awards, and the Chinese film industry has had relationships with it many times.

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Li An have all been nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film many times, among which "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Farewell My Concubine" also won this award.

In addition, Li Yin also won the Golden Globe Best Director for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which is an important node for his career to take off.

In addition, Zhang Ziyi was nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series at the Golden Globe Awards last year, and Zun Long was nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor in the Golden Globe Awards.

For a while, the introduction of the Golden Globe Awards and speculation about the possibility of Wang Quan winning this time became a hot topic in the media again, and the praise of Wang Quan once again dominated the headlines. Even the fact that Zhang Ziyi had a new boyfriend from a foreigner was covered up.

In this atmosphere, 2006 turned over.

"Brother, let me read you another..." Yang Mi on the other end of the phone said enthusiastically.

米国西海岸还是2006年12月31日夜晚，华夏已经是2007年1月1日的白天了。

Yang Mi specially called to celebrate the New Year with Wang Quan, and by the way, read to Wang Quan the domestic news about Wang Quan and Juno that she had collected in the past few days.

Although it is very comfortable to be touted by others, Wang Quan is also afraid that he will be too high. are not directly related.”

Now Chinese people have begun to look forward to Wang Quan being nominated for an Oscar like he was at the Golden Globe Awards, and even winning the award. However, Wang Quan feels that being a foreigner, being nominated is already a big success. This is because his version is better than the original version. Under the premise of triggering a wider discussion.

"Ah, it doesn't matter, isn't it a weathervane or something?"

Wang Quan explained with a smile, "The Golden Globes are selected by the HFPA, that is, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The number of judges does not exceed 100. The Oscar is organized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. There are more than 6000 judges, including myself. For one, there is very little overlap between the judges for the two awards."

"Brother, you can vote for yourself!"

Wang Quan, "With a base of 6000 people, how useful do you think it is to vote for yourself?"

"So brother, who did you vote for?"

Wang Quan laughed, "Of course I voted for myself!"

After laughing and talking with Mimi, Wang Quan soon received another call from Sissy.

She first congratulated King Quan for nominating the Golden Globe Award, "I knew you would definitely be able to. Those media and netizens before were talking nonsense."

Wang Quan asked back, "Then why didn't you speak up for me?"

"I..." Concubine Liu Yi's face turned red all of a sudden, you don't know how many times I used the account "I'm not Concubine Liu" to match up with others, and my fingers were callused.

Wang Quan immediately laughed, "Just kidding, I don't care about this kind of thing, and you don't need to care, just live our own life every day. How about your Spring Festival Gala?"

"The first rehearsal has passed."

"With the new song I wrote for you?"

"Yeah!" Concubine Liu Yi said, "By the way, my childhood friend also passed the first round of rehearsal, and I haven't seen her for almost ten years!"

"Oh?"

Then Concubine Liu Yi happily told Wang Quan about her and Yao Beina. This reunion allowed Concubine Liu Yi to have a second real girlfriend in the capital. She thought the first one was Yang Mi. After all, she had slept together and was still together kissed.

"She taught me a lot of things about vocal music, and I feel that it is also very helpful for the vocalization of the lines."

Wang Quan was speechless for a while, you should skip a few lessons, you can learn all of these in school, vocal music ranks first among the four subjects.

Concubine Liu Yi then told Wang Quan a little secret.

Wang Quan thought to himself, there is no small Mimi, they are all big, "You say."

"I signed a contract with Happy Twist."

"Oh?"

"My mother doesn't know yet."

"Huh!"

"I have rehearsed with them a few times, and I feel that I have learned a lot of new things. Fortunately, my mother is busy with the charity fund, so I didn't find out."

"Good guy!"

"Sister Teng Geli and the others are all nice, and there are many new friends, such as Wei Xiang and Ma Yuan."

"never heard of that."

"Wei Xiang mainly acts in dramas, but Ma Yuan acted in "Blood Romance"."

Wang Quan told her to shut up, and she was not allowed to say any more, "Auntie is too busy to take care of you. Has the charity fund matter been settled yet?"

"It's done." Concubine Liu Yi said, "But it seems that no one pays attention to it. The media are all paying attention to Teacher Li Lianjie's."

Wang Quan, "I've also heard that his fund is raised from the outside world. There is no room for mistakes in this kind of thing. Let's not touch that. We can do as much as we can."

"Well, in fact, we have a lot of strength, and now we have more than 2000 million."

"You have to tell your aunt 'it's only 2000 million' to save her from worrying."

Concubine Liu Yi chuckled, "You're really nice."

"That's~"

After talking to Concubine Liu Yi, Wang Quan has completely completed his Oscar nomination ballot and can cast it tomorrow.

Except for putting his own "Juno" first in Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay, he basically watched all the other movies, and then filled in his choice carefully.

Last year's Oscar royal power can basically be guessed, but this year there is an extra "Juno" variable, he shoots differently, the timing is different, and no one can tell what changes will be made to the original history in the end. .

But that's the fun!
After the third expansion, the total box office of "Juno" soared from just over 1000 million to 3100 million!
Ranked No.3 in the weekly box office, No.1 is the comedy "Night at the Museum", and No.2 is Will Smith's "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

"Juno" seems to have finally ushered in a box office explosion period, and after two weeks of release in the UK, the box office has reached 1059 million dollars!

Market feedback shows that this small film positioned as an award-winning literary film seems to be very popular with audiences.

As a result, film producers from all over the world came to discuss with Dorothy about the introduction. Of course, some countries like China and the Middle East were not sensitive.

But Dorothy is very calm, it will only be released in the UK and the US, so don’t worry too much about the pirated version leaking, she still has to wait until the results of the Golden Globe Awards, and the announcement of the Oscar nominations, then Juno’s value will increase again .

"The weather is really nice, the sun is out." Little K said happily.

Wang Quan, "Yes, it will be dimmed later."

Now shooting is a baseball scene in the film. There are many actors. In addition to the heroine and the decent vampire, the villain vampire also appeared, James, Victoria and Lauren.

In this short-lived villain vampire Queen Victoria, Kate Beckinsale, a vampire hunter, was cast as a contrasting cuteness.

The original actor only acted in two films and was replaced by King Power's good friend Bryce Dallas Howard because of the schedule. This time King Power simply didn't find anyone, and found the more famous Kate.

She is considered to be the most well-known actor in the film. Of course, the salary is also high, but the role is small and the high is limited. It is enough for the royal power to save some money elsewhere.

I have been shooting this scene all day today, with a lot of exercise and a lot of special effects, but everyone had a great time. Wang Quan also played two baseballs and found that he is still better at basketball.

It wasn't until the last two hours of the afternoon that the long-awaited Kate Beckinsale trio had a chance to appear.

Accompanied by artificial fog, a woman and two men make a cool appearance, and the good and the evil are in a confrontational situation, as if a war is about to break out.

"Crack!" Wang Quan said that everyone has performed very well, work is over today and will continue tomorrow.

Kate Beckinsale still has two scenes, and as the biggest star in the film, King Power will finish her part first.

Anyway, the shooting sequence is not linear, they are all shot according to the scene, and everyone is used to it.

At the hotel that night, Wang Quan was writing the scripts for the next two parts of "Twilight". The first part is more conservative, and the latter part will be slightly modified to make the story more refreshing and attractive, and at the same time reduce some bad customs that may deduct points plot.

Then he heard a knock on the door. If he guessed right, it should be Kate Beckinsale. When Wang Quan was filming today, she felt that her eyes were melting when she looked at him. The man at work is indeed very attractive. She found out.

However, he opened the door and looked at the huskies outside, "Daddario, what can I do for you?"

"Director, I made a few mistakes today. I'm here to apologize to you?" She was talking about running, because she was overloaded, a few times the running was not very smooth, and she had to retake a few times, which almost delayed her The time for Kate and others later.

Looking at the girl with colored eyes, Wang Quan took a step back, "Come in and apologize, then have you brought the sincerity of your apology?"

"Hmm~" As she spoke, she unbuttoned her blouse, she was really full of sincerity!

Until Kate Beckinsale left the crew, because the royal power has been occupied by Daddario's sincerity, she didn't have a chance to chat with this big guy who was hired with a lot of money.

But King Quan can't lose his temper yet, Daddario's style is really rare, and at a certain moment on the bed, he even thinks of Mimi from his hometown.

On January 1th, the voting for Oscar nominations ends. In the next ten days, PwC’s accounting will conduct statistics. Except for foreign language films and animated feature films, which will be handled by a special committee, the rest of the nomination lists will be collected from these elected on the ballot.

Because everyone gets five votes for each item, it's a preference voting system, and it's important to have the judges put your name first in the sequence.

The statistical process is very complicated, requires a lot of calculations, and has always been manual calculations.

Feng Zhiyu is 36 years old this year. After graduating with a Ph.D., he has worked in PricewaterhouseCoopers for five years. This year, he is responsible for the statistical work of director classification.

First of all, he and his team have to determine the votes received, because anyone can choose the best film, so that is the most complicated, but the director is okay, besides the director department and public representatives who can vote for the director, the total number is only 523 people.

The ballots received were 498.

There are also some invalid tickets. For example, if the same director is written for all five places, you can only write one, but write five. Sorry, this ticket is invalid.

In the end, 488 valid votes were obtained, and all of them were ballots.

Then they need to determine a critical number of votes, which is important in the next work.

There are five director nominations, and they will divide 488 by 5, which equals 97.6, rounded up, 98.

98 is the critical number of votes for director classification.

Then look at the No. 488 pick among the 1 ballots.

The camera was turned on, and Feng Zhiyu put the ballot papers on the table, "Start counting votes now."

Someone read the votes, someone counted the votes, someone supervised, and there were several cameras.

The first one to be drawn was director Dongmu's vote. He was the first to vote for Martin Scorsese ("The Departed"), so the old Martin voted.

Then another ballot was drawn, this one belonged to Lee, and his first pick went to Alejandro Gonzalez ("Babel"), so Gonzalez got one vote.

488 votes have not been read yet, Martin Scorsese has already got the critical number of votes, 98 votes, so he became the first nominee for best director, and then his votes are invalid, which means that as long as you see his name You can ignore it and just look at the name below.

The director with the least nominations is also eliminated, and his part of the votes will be counted as No.2.

The other 1 candidate retains the votes to enter the second round.

Because someone must have only written one Martin Scorsese. When his vote was invalidated, the total number of votes changed, and there were only four remaining nominations, so a critical number of votes needed to be recalculated.

Then do the second round.

By analogy, five nominees are selected, and usually the result will be announced before all the votes have been read.

There must be someone later who can reach the critical number of votes, but your ranking is low, which means that in the minds of the judges, you are just the last helpless choice, so the opportunity belongs to others.

After getting the list of five nominees, Feng Zhiyu smiled and sealed the list, waiting for the unified announcement on the 23rd.

This is the classification of directors, and the rules of other actors, photography, scripts, etc. are basically the same. Only the best movies are slightly different due to the large number of votes, so I will not list them here.

On the 16th, taking advantage of the weekend, Wang Quan returned to Los Angeles from the film crew, preparing to attend the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony~
(Because there are too many professional things that need to be checked, this chapter is late. I'm sorry, Laofo won't sleep tonight, write out the guarantee chapter of No. 1, and ask for the guarantee monthly pass in July, which is very important for us This book is really important, please!)
