Coquettish Rebirth

Soon, Jia Hongjian's first round of voting in the producers' union ended.The statistics of the first round of voting are very fast, and it takes about an hour to come out. Such a voting process does not need to be announced like a regular Oscar, and the number of members is not so large. ——These are all producers of Oscar members, so the total number is only a few hundred people, which is definitely faster than the 6000-person ticket statistics for the entire Oscar.In this way, after the first round of voting, it is not possible to leave later.The voting in this trade union is much faster than the Oscars, and the results are basically available in two days.And today is going to be the first round and the second round of voting. To put it simply, it is a preliminary round and a semi-final round. Five nominations will be selected, and then everyone will vote tomorrow to win the union's best movie. That's it for the video.

After this round of voting was over, Jia Hongjian went to the break room of the Producers Union and sat for a while drinking a cup of coffee.This lounge is really high-end, it looks like a legendary high-end club.In a lounge like Jia Hongjian's, the total area is several hundred square meters, but it is divided into a dozen or twenty private spaces like rooms with bookshelves and other things.Then in this private space, there are sofas and coffee tables everywhere, as well as waiters who are constantly walking around.After hundreds of producers gathered here, they were not noisy. Even if everyone talked, they deliberately lowered their voices, so even if Jia Hongjian wanted to take a nap at this time, it didn't matter, and he wouldn't be so noisy that he couldn't sleep. !have to say.Such an atmosphere is really a bit like the legendary foreign high society!

"Hey, Mr. Jia? Hello, hello, it's been a long time..." Suddenly a person next to him greeted Jia Hongjian in a low voice.This man has a bald head and a white beard on his chin. He looks quite festive. He is the kind of person who makes people feel very happy at first glance, and his smile makes people feel that a sincere smile is sweet! "Hmm... Bryce... Ian Bryce, right? Wow, Ian, it's been a long time!" Jia Hongjian stared at this person for a long time, and finally remembered who he was—it seemed to be " The one who worked as a producer for Spielberg in Saving Private Ryan!When Jia Hongjian went to visit Spielberg a few years ago.It seems that I have seen this person before!

"That's right, it's me. You have a pretty good memory!" Ian said with a smile, and immediately started chatting with Jia Hongjian. After chatting for a few words, the two exchanged contact information.But at this moment.Suddenly, I heard only one sentence from Ian. "What a pity. Just now, Catherine said that your "Tang Monk" didn't get a lot of votes in the first round..." Eh?At that time, Jia Hongjian was taken aback, what does this mean?Catherine?woman?Who is that woman?And why did his film not get a high rate of votes?

Seeing that Jia Hongjian was puzzled, Ian quickly explained. "Katherine Kennedy, you should know him? A brown-haired woman. She and her husband Frank Marshall have known Spielberg for a long time. Catherine has been a production assistant for Spielberg since 79. Later, he was appreciated by Spielberg, so he simply became Spielberg's secretary. Later, he was trained by Spielberg and became a producer. In 82, Spielberg, Catherine and Frank We jointly opened a small production company together, which is tantamount to supporting Catherine and her husband to go out and become independent producers. However, Catherine is still very nostalgic, so she has been helping Spielberg as a producer, like back then "Jurassic Park" and "Artificial Intelligence" that Spielberg wants to make in the future must be produced by Catherine..."

Whoa!Does Spielberg still have such a confidante?How come Jia Hongjian has never heard of it?But think about it, such a confidante seems to be the first time when Spielberg is making some movies, she will cooperate, this eldest sister is usually busy with her own affairs, and if Spielberg has nothing special with this woman How could he mention Jia Hongjian in front of Jia Hongjian?After getting to know Catherine, Jia Hongjian hurriedly asked another question, "How does she know that our film's vote rate is not high?"

"Her network is very extensive. After meeting with Spielberg, she quickly developed through Spielberg's network, and she is indeed of a good level. In recent years, even George Lucas has admired it very much. She. I happened to meet her before, and she said what she heard from the counting staff..." Ian explained.Hearing this, Jia Hongjian was taken aback.He was stunned not because of other things, but because of such a so-called insufficient turnout rate!Not enough turnout, which actually represents a lot of things!It even affects whether the best picture can be won!So Jia Hongjian hurriedly asked, "Then which movie received the most votes?" "Many, but for the time being the one with the highest votes in the first round is "A Beautiful Mind"..."

"A Beautiful Mind?" Jia Hongjian was taken aback for a moment. He knew this piece, didn't it just talk about the miserable life of a game theory inventor like Nash?If I remember correctly, this film should be released on December 12th?At that time, Jia Hongjian did not regard him as a competitor.But now he suddenly remembered something - it seems that "A Beautiful Mind" won the best picture in 17 in history!Otherwise, Jia Hongjian could sum up how the 02st century Oscar best picture is the most pleasing to shoot!In Jia Hongjian's summary, it is to use the experience of small people to reflect some big concepts, or simply all kinds of biographical movies!

For this biographical film, didn't Jia Hongjian also specifically imagine how to win the Oscar for Best Picture?Isn't it just filming Hawking's life?Isn't it quite favored in the 21st century to make such biographical films with disabilities but striving for strength?So speaking of it this way, just thinking about it, you can see what kind of formidable competitor "Tang Monk" is facing!Why is the other party the film that should be able to win the best picture Oscar in history!So after having such a "Beautiful Mind", will Jia Hongjian's "Tang Monk" still have a chance to win the best film speech award?

It's not that Jia Hongjian is not confident, but that risks must be considered!To be honest, if there is no such a biographical movie, then Jia Hongjian is still quite confident.But now that there is a film like "A Beautiful Mind" that pleases the organizing committee, it can be said that it is really difficult for "Tang Monk" to kill "A Beautiful Mind"!After thinking about it quickly, Jia Hongjian knew that the filming of the film had already been finished, so it was completely impossible to modify the content.And it's already at this time, if Jia Hongjian and the others want to canvass votes, is there still time?Although Jia Hongjian really wanted to say it was too late, as a realist, while he was thinking about how to turn defeat into victory, he was also thinking about whether a strong man should cut off his wrist!What is a strong man breaking his wrist? To put it simply, it is to keep the second round ticket on your side and even the ticket for tomorrow's final game. If you don't vote for yourself when you are a child, you can vote for someone else to exchange benefits!

That's right, Jia Hongjian definitely took the worst case into consideration when doing things.So what's the worst-case scenario right now?That is "Tang Monk" or may not win the best picture!And maybe even bigger!Under such circumstances, if Jia Hongjian didn't think about whether to exchange his own ticket, wouldn't it be normal for him to think about it?

If you give up voting for yourself and then exchange benefits, what can you get in exchange?Exchange the other party's favor, and then ask the other party to vote for you next year or the year after?This way is the easiest ticket exchange!Just like China is striving for the 2008 Games and after death, it has also done a lot of work for the National Olympic Committee.And the work to be done is to exchange votes—convince the African brothers to vote for us today, and then China will vote for the African brothers in the next big sports meeting... So is Jia Hongjian going to do such a thing?Is it early to start the exchange of benefits to make up for it after the disaster, or go all the way to the dark, but Heze's own film will compete for the best picture?

If a strong man were to sever his wrist, would Jia Hongjian only get that little benefit?To be honest, he is a bit unwilling, especially if he makes a movie next year, it may not be what kind of movie it is!Who knows what the future holds?What if Jia Hongjian didn't make a movie in the second half of the year?In case there is no such absolutely powerful film in the next year or two, will he let others pay back his favor?So how about we find a way to persuade others to vote for them in exchange for benefits?If it is exchanged with each other in this way, and someone else steals their tickets, will this definitely work?Or do you sell the tickets and try to get the benefits this year?

How can I minimize the risk on my own side and at the same time bring as much benefit to my film as possible?It can be said that this is what Jia Hongjian is thinking about now!After thinking about the child, he suddenly asked, "You just said that Catherine is very popular and well-connected with future generations?" "Yes, this Catherine is a natural social butterfly, not only in the producer union, but also in other She is also quite energetic among the practitioners... I even heard that Catherine is quite well-connected in a branch organization such as the Script Writers Association..."

Upon hearing this, a plan suddenly appeared in Jia Hongjian's mind! (To be continued..)
