Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 183 Oscar Hundred-fold Economy

Although "Brokeback Mountain" is also very powerful, "Wall-E" is not a vegetarian either.

In its previous life, "Wall-E" did not win the Best Screenplay Award in 2008, but the story of "Juno" that year was indeed quite outstanding.

Moreover, since this movie failed to win major awards including Best Picture and Best Actress, the Best Screenplay award was somewhat of a compensation.

If it were a fair competition, "Wall-E" would not necessarily lose.

Peter agreed with Chen Linfeng's statement.
"The main PR focus for Brokeback Mountain is Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor, and the script is definitely a lower priority.

But if Brokeback Mountain wins Best Picture, we won’t win Best Adapted Screenplay.”

Before the Oscars, the public was not optimistic about "Crash", and Pitt never expected that a sudden success would come out of nowhere.

Chen Linfeng did not refute. It was indeed hard to imagine that an underdog would win the biggest prize.

After the three of them discussed the situation of the Oscars, Chen Linfeng asked, "Does anyone want to go to the Oscars ceremony in a few days?"

Peter shrugged. "I have no reason to go. Even if I go, I'll walk through the guest channel, which is different from the celebrity red carpet you walk on."

Mei also refused, "I'm just an agent, it's not appropriate."

Chen Linfeng was distressed, "I can't walk the red carpet alone at that time."

In the evening, Liu Xixi called and asked about his situation in the United States.

Chen Linfeng gave a brief description and mentioned the situation of having no one to accompany him while walking on the red carpet.

"How about you come and join in the fun?"

"I'm not going. If I try to get on the red carpet, I'll be laughed at."

"You are my friend, and the Oscars ceremony stipulates that you can invite one relative or friend to join you."

"That won't work either. I'm an actor and I can't afford to lose face like that."

"There is really no other way, I can only ask someone to help contact a female celebrity to walk the red carpet together."

The voice on the other end of the phone was a little unhappy, "Why are you telling me this? Go find it if you want."

……

After the phone call, Chen Linfeng used the hotel’s equipment to watch the animated short film that Pete brought.

To be honest, it's not that good, but as Pitt said, this movie is likely to please academic white men.

But my own work is not bad either, and is more universal. It is still unknown who will win, so I'll just leave it to fate.

The 2006 Academy Awards ceremony will be held on March 3 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

Under Pete's arrangement, Chen Linfeng started choosing clothes and doing his styling at noon.

I heard that some female stars started earlier, and some even started dieting several days in advance in order to look good in dresses.

As for walking the red carpet, Chen Linfeng still misunderstood. The organizer will take most of the situations into consideration in this regard, such as the order, the composition of the group and so on.

If you are alone, the organizer will help you find a celebrity to match with. Walking the red carpet alone is usually a treatment for only a few big-name stars.

Chen Linfeng's situation is not uncommon in previous years. The female companion arranged for him by the organizer is an acquaintance, Scarlett Johansson.

Her previous role in "Lost in Translation" won the Oscar for Best Screenplay and three nominations, and she herself was also on the invitation list.

The two agreed to meet at the venue.

As it was getting close to evening, when the car arrived near the theater, there were already many luxury cars gathered there.

On the celebrity channel, the media have also gathered and are now debugging equipment or making some opening introductions.

China sent media to film the event as usual, and this year the media was much larger than in the past. Not only were there official CCTV media like Six Princesses, but also print media like China Film News, and online media like Sina and Penguin.

The reason why so many media came is because of the special nature of this year's Oscars.

The 2006 Oscars can be said to be the year in which Chinese people were most involved.

The work nominated for Best Animated Short Film was directed by a Chinese director and produced by the Chinese Shenmei Film Studio.

The work nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay is originally written by a Chinese writer. Both awards are directly related to Chen Linfeng.

In addition, the directors nominated for Best Film and Best Director are also Chinese.

"Memoirs of a Geisha", starring Zhang Ziyi and co-starring Michelle Yeoh, is also competing for an Oscar.

Its presence is indeed strong. Some American media have mentioned this matter, exclaiming that "China has invaded the Oscars", which is very much in the style of Emily Ken journalism.

The Sixth Princess has obtained the live broadcast rights for the event and will broadcast the live footage with a delay.

The relevant domestic publicity started a few days ago. After two large-scale publicity campaigns for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero", the Oscar has 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 live broadcast.

In Zhongyuan Province, Chen Shantong, Wang Yanping and Shi Xiaolong prepared to watch the Oscar broadcast early.

Shi Xiaolong was originally filming "Soldier Assault". He took a special leave for this matter and came back to watch the show with his parents.

The scene on TV now is the studio in the back. In addition to the Sixth Princess’ own host, they also invited Tian Dazhuang as a guest this time.

Although Chen Linfeng was not taught by him, Tian Dazhuang was very pleased that a student from his school could achieve such results.

He is explaining the economic value of the Oscars.

“There is a saying that the Oscars are worth a hundred times, which means that once a movie wins an Oscar, its value 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 only foreign movie in the history of the United States to have grossed over 100 million US dollars, and the Oscars played a big role in it.

Even before the Oscars were presented, just because it was nominated, many American audiences went to the cinema to watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, not to mention after the awards ceremony. This is enough to prove the influence of the Oscars. "

The host asked again, "So is there any more detailed data on the 'hundred' that means the Oscar price increased a hundredfold?"

"Of course there is. According to industry statistics, an Oscar nomination can increase box office revenue by about $3 million, and winning the award can increase it by another $000 million.

Although this number will change with the situation each year, the economic benefits of the Oscars are certain, so there is a deep economic chain behind the Oscars. "

He wanted to talk about the chain of interests behind this, but the host knew what the audience wanted to hear and turned the topic back.

"So, Director Li An or Director Chen Linfeng, in addition to receiving honors, may also receive subsequent financial benefits?"

"Yes, there's no need to say more about Li An. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has already been done once. Although Chen Linfeng's short film is not easy to be shown in theaters, after winning the Oscar, the copyright income that can be obtained should increase a lot."

"Okay, thank you Teacher Tian for your explanation."

Afterwards, the host began to discuss with Tian Dazhuang the works related to their own people and the situation of their competitors.

Shi Xiaolong watched the CCTV program discussing his younger brother enthusiastically and expressed his envy.

He once again began to doubt his genes. They were born from the same mother, so why were there such big differences between them?

Could it be that it’s because I came out first and absorbed less nutrients?
