Coquettish Rebirth

What is Jia Hongjian's plan?That is to consider whether to compete for other projects through the exchange of interests behind the scenes!That's right, seeing that "A Beautiful Mind" is competing for the best picture award, it is really difficult to win such an award!It's not that Jia Hongjian lacks self-confidence, but that sometimes the situation is stronger than others!The judges in the U.S. love such a set of methods, and we are not in this style. It is of course difficult and troublesome to compete for such an award that everyone is vying for!Jia Hongjian is self-confident, but he is not self-willed or conceited!It's not like he has to compete for the first place in any project!

To put it bluntly, the Oscar thing is actually just an honor, and the most it can get an Oscar is just a little more box office revenue, and the overall impact is actually not big.Under such circumstances, we don't want to put all our eggs in one basket. Why do we have to fight for such an award for the best movie?Not to mention that the voting results here in the first round were not very optimistic, so at this time, seeing that we have no hope for this award, we should hurry up and realize the resources in our hands, this is the kingly way!After thinking of this, Jia Hongjian really made a decisive decision!He apologized, then walked away to call Katzenberg, inform him of his new idea, and ask for Katzenberg's support from the sidelines.After Jia Hongjian came back, he said to Ethan, "Ethan, how about it, can you introduce Catherine to me?" "Of course!" Ethan Bryan said with a smile.

For Ethan, everyone is an acquaintance.And things like canvassing and exchanging tickets are too common within the Oscar Organizing Committee!Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there is politics. Isn’t this kind of canvassing for votes politics?Not to mention such an Oscar, even the International Olympic Committee still has things like canvassing for votes!There are even more such things in FIFA. Generally speaking, as long as canvassing and exchanging tickets does not involve money issues, canvassing and exchanging tickets are not prohibited in themselves!This is simply an unspoken rule of human society, and there is no way to completely block it!

Soon, Ethan led Jia Hongjian to find Catherine who was drinking afternoon tea and reading newspapers in another corner of the lounge. "Hey, Kate, this is Jia Hongjian. You should know him, right?" Ethan helped introduce him very familiarly as soon as he came up. "Oh. Hung-chien, hello, hello, I often hear Stephen talking about you, and he admires you very much. We have never met before. This time we finally met..." Catherine heard It was Jia Hongjian who stood up immediately.Then he said enthusiastically while stretching out his hand while looking at Jia Hongjian.

Jia Hongjian gently shook Catherine's hand.He saw that Catherine should be in her 40s in general, but she was well maintained.Dark brown hair, dark brown eyes.Although the body size is two laps larger than that of domestic girls, as far as a half-aged milf in her 40s is concerned, it is still pretty good to maintain her figure. "Hey, Catherine, I heard you heard that our "Tang Monk" didn't get a very good vote rate?" Jia Hongjian asked in a low voice after sitting next to Catherine with a smile. "Well, it's not very good. You should be able to enter the first round of primary elections. There is no guarantee for the second round. The final voting results tomorrow may not be too optimistic... Sorry... By the way, Ethan and I both voted for you Tickets." Catherine comforted sympathetically. "Don't be sorry, it's not because of you that the vote rate is not high..." Jia Hongjian smiled, "To be honest, I don't have any ambitions to win this award for best picture, so I actually voted for others. It's not impossible..."

"Huh? You mean...? Oh..." Catherine, a courtesan in her 40s, instantly understood what Jia Hongjian meant!The corner of her mouth turned and she said immediately, "Then what new ideas do you have, Hung-chien? Who do you think is better to support?" "It depends on who can help me more... I just like to make friends, but Making friends also requires being able to help each other, isn’t it?” Having said this, Jia Hongjian paused, “Actually, I think about it, our "Tang Monk", if we want to win the best original screenplay award, can we attract Some friends came to help me..."

When Jia Hongjian said this, Catherine immediately understood what Jia Hongjian meant!This is nothing more than Jia Hongjian wanting to exchange the tickets for the best movie for the tickets for the best original script!And this ticket is definitely not a one-for-one exchange! "Hmm! That's a good idea, Hongjian, you are really a person who likes to make friends. So excuse me for now, I'm going to ask around to see if there are any noble people who are willing to make friends with Mr. Jia Hongjian..." So this Catherine stood up abruptly and walked out.Jia Hongjian and Catherine had such a particularly pretentious conversation, but the meaning behind it was also obvious, that is, Jia Hongjian wanted to exchange the tickets from the DreamWorks camp for the best original script tickets from other companies!The entire DreamWorks camp is basically acting in a unified manner, and there are various human factors in it. As long as the producers have a good relationship with DreamWorks, even if they are independent, as long as there is no one of their own in the same Oscar Movies come to compete with DreamWorks, why not help DreamWorks?After all, there is also a relationship between people. When their film did not enter the Oscars at DreamWorks, wouldn't it be possible for people related to DreamWorks to vote for them?

So in fact, not only Catherine, but also Ethan and many producers who have worked with Spielberg or with other directors of DreamWorks. In such a vote, as long as there is no interest relationship, it is all Mobilized by Katzenberg to vote for Jia Hongjian's "Tang Monk"!Now that Jia Hongjian said that he wanted to exchange tickets, he meant not only to exchange his tickets, but also to exchange tickets for other people's DreamWorks factions!Even the votes of people like Spielberg in the directors' union still have to be exchanged-don't forget that one of the directors' union votes is for the best director and the other is for the best film!And in this way, although there are not as many as dozens of tickets that can be exchanged, a dozen or so tickets are still certain!And such a dozen or so tickets may not be too dominant in the entire Oscar with more than 6000 people, but in the Olympic Committee, one ticket and two tickets still have to be exchanged and fought for!

Relying on her contacts in Hollywood, Catherine quickly found a "buyer", and then quickly reached an agreement with the buyer - the other party mobilized their strength to give Jia Hongjian their "Tang Monk" " voted for the best original screenplay, and Jia Hongjian voted for their film.But Catherine helped Jia Hongjian run errands for no reason, did she lose any benefit?Of course not!Although Jia Hongjian ordered this matter, and she was helping Jia Hongjian to run errands, she was the one who talked about it in the end, and the human relationship generated through the exchange of tickets was also on her, not on DreamWorks!

That's right, this thing is just like the salesman in a state-owned factory in the past. He went out to run orders and met a group of customers. In the end, the customer only recognized such a salesman and not necessarily the factory!In the future, if this salesman goes out to work alone, he may also take away a group of customers!But for Catherine, she has already gone out to do it alone, but in her lifetime, she may not have a company as big as DreamWorks.And not to mention that Spielberg also has the grace to know her and promote her. She can't betray Spielberg for the impossible, right?

Soon, this Catherine came back, "Hung-chien, we have basically negotiated a deal with 10th Century Fox, the producer of "Moulin Rouge". They are willing to support us on the best original script, and can give us overall To the point where 50 votes are exchanged for 6000 votes..." Hey!This deal is good enough!But also, how much can a title like Best Picture increase the box office?Jia Hongjian had a meeting. It seems that "Moulin Rouge" invested 7000 million or 20 million, which is a medium-cost literary film. The overall box office has exceeded [-] million. It can be said that it has just returned its capital.If it wins the Oscar for best picture again, it will almost certainly be released again, and let [-]th Century Fox make a fortune. Wouldn't they want to?Moreover, what they make are literary films, and literary films do not sell very well in the DVD market or the video tape market, and it can even be said to be quite difficult to sell.Basically, peripheral business development doesn't make much money, and if the box office is only paying back, then for other production companies, wouldn't it be better if they can get as many awards as possible?At least get some fame!

However, as a reborn person, Jia Hongjian knew that "Moulin Rouge" had no chance of winning the best picture.As long as there are no accidents, it is basically "A Beautiful Mind"!Under such circumstances, there is no need for Jia Hongjian and the others to go to the producer of "A Beautiful Mind" Universal to make a deal. Passed by DreamWorks!The result is that because DreamWorks has temporarily invested in too many movies, including "Harry Potter" and "Tang Monk", [-] million US dollars were thrown out all at once!If I invest in "A Beautiful Mind" again, there will be too much financial pressure, so I didn't invest in the end.And this film went to Universal to attract investment.Now let Jia Hongjian go to Universal to admit defeat and ask for an exchange?Isn't that too much?And let's look at it from another angle, the team of "A Beautiful Mind" must feel full of confidence now, let's go to exchange with others, can they give too many resources in exchange?For others, one more of us is not more, and one less of us is not much!We can only add icing on the cake, not a gift in the snow!Under such circumstances, of course, Jia Hongjian did not choose the winner to stand in the team, but chose the manufacturer that could treat him better, and chose the manufacturer that could exchange more things with him!
