How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 720: After eighteen years of running together, Xiao Lizi finally won the prize
The next thing to exclude is [Jobs’] Michael Fassbender.

Without it.

The possibility of winning awards for a biographical film has little to do with the actor's acting skills, but has a lot to do with the historical status of the real person and the legendary nature of his life.

Although Lao Qiao's life is legendary enough, it is still a little less interesting, and he has only been out of business for five years. The time is too short, and the nomination is already the limit.

The next thing to exclude is [Trumbo]’s Bryan Cranston.

Without it.

The role of Heisenberg in "Breaking Bad" was so good that "Trumbo" looked a little pale.

And the Oscars are generally a bit biased against TV actors.

To break this prejudice, Bryan Cranston probably has to change the biographical film "Trump" he starred in into "Trump".

After that, the only ones left are Matt Damon in "The Martian" and Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Revenant."

"Zhang, I'm hit, I'm hit." Xiao Lizi jumped up suddenly, and then waved his hands vigorously, a bit like Fan Jin's hit.

Then, as the best actress award presenter, it turned out to be Eddie Redmayne, the leading actor of "The Danish Girl", one of the nominees for the best actor statuette.

This made Xiao Lizi nervous and looking forward to it.

Because the best actor is usually behind the best actress, if the winning actor is allowed to go on stage to present the award, it will make him appear on the stage twice, which will affect the richness of the ceremony. At the same time, this verifies the exclusion list analyzed by Zhang Nan and him. reliability.

"Then hurry up and go on stage! Anyway, I don't quite understand your mood. I got that thing more than ten years ago, and I don't know how much dust it has collected now." Zhang Nan saw that Xiao Lizi was so excited, and he quickly said Appease' said.

Women are good at acting, let alone top female artists who have won Oscars. Their performance level is definitely on point.

Finally, when Julianne Moore, the winner of last year's 87th Academy Award for Actress, came on stage with an envelope, DiCaprio below was already so nervous that her breathing was a little short.

Zhang Nan can be confident that the Oscar jury is more biased towards Matt Damon than DiCaprio.

no way.

After some chatting as usual, Julianne Moore opened the envelope in her hand, and after seeing the contents inside, she exclaimed sincerely.

Because generally speaking, winning male protagonists will not give awards to female protagonists.

After eighteen years of accompanying her, her dream finally came true today, and Xiao Lizi was already going crazy.

"So, you are most likely stable this time." Zhang Nan analyzed the situation for Xiao Lizi and came to a conclusion.

"The winner of this year's Oscar for Best Actor is Leonardo DiCaprio, congratulations." Julianne Moore pointed the envelope in her hand in the direction of Leonardo DiCaprio and announced loudly.

Xiao Lizi felt better after hearing this, but still a little uneasy.

Then all the shots of the award ceremony were directed at DiCaprio.

Everything seemed to be repeating what happened at the 86th Oscars the year before last, except that this time the Best Supporting Actor award was not won by Zhang Nan, which made DiCaprio a little more nervous.

……

Best Sound Editing, Best Documentary Short, Best Editing, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor...

Moreover, the science fiction film "The Martian" does not have an advantage in subject matter compared to the biopic "The Revenant".

Xiao Lizi was stunned.

Zhang Nan's words really hit Xiao Lizi a bit.

Because if we really talk about identity, it is actually more difficult for Zhang Nan to win the award than for Xiao Lizi.

But I couldn't stand Zhang Nan's fierceness. More than ten years ago, a group of great directors gathered together to produce "Survival of the World", and then rode on the popularity of "Titanic" to abruptly win the Oscar for Best Actor.

No one can be dissatisfied.

Fortunately, winning a prize is always a happy thing. Xiao Lizi was stunned for a while, and then he went on stage to get his own statuette.

On the podium.

DiCaprio also very wisely began to thank this and that, and constantly shed tears of excitement. He repeatedly recounted the difficulty of filming "The Revenant" to strengthen his professionalism in winning the award.

Zhang Nan, who was in the audience, saw DiCaprio's performance and knew that the box office of "The Revenant" should be stable.

In fact it is.

On the night that Leonardo DiCaprio won the award, the number of fans who wanted to watch "The Revenant" began to increase in North America and even around the world.

Seeing this, North American theaters wisely began to increase the film schedule of "The Revenant". At the same time, Zhang Nan also took advantage of the popularity and began to release "The Revenant" globally.

10 million US dollars in box office, 20 million US dollars in box office...

Relying on this wave of Oscar popularity, "The Revenant" has regained its single-day box office popularity when it was first released.

This also shows why so many people are trying to get Oscars, and even spend huge public relations fees to win Oscars.

Without it.

The real interests lie here.

There are only a few thousand people on the Oscar jury, and each person spends millions or tens of millions of dollars to make a good impression and attract votes.

But once it succeeds, you can get tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits.

Everyone can figure out this deal.

……

Disney Studios headquarters, in the president's office.

Zhang Nan was invited over by his agent's brother-in-law.

"Zhang, I see you are traveling among the major Hollywood giants during this period. Do you have any projects? Why don't you come to Disney! We are our own people!" Robert Watt said enthusiastically and cordially.

Zhang Nan looked at Robert Watt after hearing this and muttered in his heart:
I really want to come, but it’s useless. The theme park project I’m working on conflicts with the core business of your Disney Pictures!
But since you've said it like this, I won't be polite, otherwise I'll be too outspoken.

It just happens to test the gold content of this own person.

So Zhang Nan said: "There is indeed a project about a theme park, but I think it will conflict with Disneyland, so I don't have the nerve to come.

But Robert, you said that today, so even if I am embarrassed, I have to mention it shamelessly, after all, we are our own people!
So——, can you support some of Disney’s well-known IPs? "

Robert Watt: "..."

Can you support some of Disney’s well-known IPs?

This means that if you, Zhang Nan, dare to speak, anyone else would definitely be beaten out with a stick.

Without it.

Disney dares to fight North American intellectual property protection laws for the sake of its own copyright life.

The North American Intellectual Property Protection Law forced Disney's Mickey Mouse copyright to be delayed until 95, almost a hundred years ago.
