Chapter 757 Award operation, game rules

Los Angeles has been cloudy and rainy for the past few days. Compared to when Zhou Xia just got off the plane, the drizzle has stopped now.

This is the typical bay weather in California in winter and spring. It can be seen that the locals have long been accustomed to it, and many people took to the streets without umbrellas.

Zhou Xia, Tangtang and Yang Tianzhen went downstairs and sat in the car, and arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel on the Avenue of Stars in about 10 minutes.

Get out of the car and follow Yang Tianzhen all the way in. There are many film and television stars from all over the world dressed up, going in and out, and occasionally seeing familiar faces.

"Boss, you are here." As soon as Zhou Xia and others entered the lobby, they saw Zhang Zhao and Peter, the new executive of the North American branch, walking over together.

"Well, hello, what's the situation, what do I need to do?" Zhou Xia asked with a smile.

It stands to reason that he needs to come here a day or two in advance to accept media interviews, use this opportunity to promote the company and the film, and also need to meet some powerful figures in Hollywood to expand his network.

But he only arrived at the awards ceremony a few hours in advance, which really made it very difficult for the people working below.

After all, besides being Xia Hua's boss, he is also a kung fu superstar, the best-selling film director in China and even Asia, and has also won the Venice Golden Lion Award. Facade and business cards.

And since he participated in "The Expendables 2" and invested in and participated in "Pacific Rim", many Hollywood producers wanted to seek cooperation with him in view of his influence in the mainland.

"Boss, let's go upstairs first, and I'll take you to see Harvey Weinstein, he is the most influential figure in Hollywood." Zhang Zhao said while stretching out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

"Okay, let's go." After Zhou Xia finished speaking, she glanced at the beautiful Tangtang next to her, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Harvey is very horny, but Tangtang doesn't conform to the aesthetics of Westerners. If he really makes some outrageous demands, then he doesn't mind... Let him die a few years earlier.

A few people quickly took the elevator to the eighth floor. After getting out of the elevator and walking a few steps, Zhou Xia saw a familiar face.

Isn't this the big cousin Jenferne Lawrence?
It has been a year since the filming of "The Expendables 3", and I never expected to meet her in the corridor.

Zhou Xia was hesitating whether to take the initiative to say hello, but saw the eldest cousin in a white tube top and short dress, telling a few companions in formal attire to let them go first.

She herself stepped on black high-heeled shoes and walked over tremblingly.

"Zhou, long time no see."

"Miss Lawrence, long time no see."

The two hugged politely, and after parting, the eldest cousin smiled and said: "Zhou, you are too alien, just call me Jenny, are you here to see Harvey, no one is in his room. "

"Huh?" Zhou Xia looked at Zhang Zhao strangely. Is it so unreliable?
Zhang Zhao frowned suspiciously, then stepped aside and started making calls.

Zhou Xia didn't say anything, looked at Tangtang beside her, and introduced, "Jenferni, this is Tangtang."

"Oh, Ms. Tang, I know you. I've seen you and Zhou's movie, and your performance is very good." The eldest cousin said seriously, not sure if it was a Western courtesy or the truth.

Tangtang was obviously surprised by the other party's reaction, but her foreign language was too bad, so she had to smile awkwardly and wait for Zhou Xia to translate for her.

Zhou Xia helped Tangtang convey her love for her eldest cousin, and then helped them take a photo together at Tangtang's request.

At this time, Zhang Zhao came over after making a phone call, and Jennifer smiled and said, "Zhou, goodbye, I hope to see you on the red carpet later, I wish you good luck tonight."

"Thank you, and I wish you good luck tonight." Zhou Xia nodded and replied politely.

Jennifer was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for "American Hustle". Although she has nothing to look forward to as an actress who has won this award, who would dislike too many awards?
After Jenny left, Zhang Zhao came up and said, "Boss, it's like this. Harvey just had something urgent to see someone, and he said he would come to see us later."

"Alright then." Zhou Xia nodded.

"Yiyi, thank you, I didn't expect Jenny to really know me."

They went back to the room on the ninth floor together, Tangtang whispered in Zhou Xia's ear with a little excitement.

"Hehe, look at you, don't meet a certain star on the red carpet and ask someone to take a photo with you." Zhou Xia shook her head and smiled bitterly, Tangtang was too embarrassing for him.

Although he is not a big name in Hollywood, but he is a film and television boss worth nearly 300 billion US dollars, Tangtang can't act like a fan like this.

"Then you must introduce me when you meet acquaintances on the red carpet later." Tangtang blinked her eyes and couldn't help but said expectantly.

If she can take photos with Hollywood superstars on the red carpet, talking and laughing happily, that's fine. Anyway, if there are pictures sent back to China, the media and fans will definitely brag about her.

"On the red carpet? Do you still want to rely on it?" Zhou Xia retorted angrily, and said, "I met you at the party before the award ceremony, so let me introduce you."

"Well, yes, that's fine."

While the few people were talking, they came to the room that Zhang Zhao had arranged in advance. It turned out to be a presidential suite, which surprised Zhou Xia.

"We booked this for you, boss." Seeing Zhou Xia looking at her, Yang Tian was a little embarrassed: "The room arranged by Hollywood is a luxury suite, and the few of us will live in it."

"Okay, let's wait for a while, by the way, didn't Harvey operate later, how is the situation?" Zhou Xia looked at Zhang Zhao and Peter.

1月16日第86届奥斯卡提名揭晓，然后2月14日终选投票正式启动，2月16日张钊向他提了哈维需要更多活动费。

At that time, there were still ten days before the deadline for voting in the final election on February 2, and it was indeed possible to operate.

"Boss, I can't tell you the specifics, but after hearing Harvey's publicity and public relations, I think there is a great chance." Zhang Zhao said from the side. As for Peter, because he is not good at Chinese, he seldom interrupted.

"Oh, how should I say it?" Zhou Xia and Tangtang were both interested.

"In addition to promoting your film to the judges who can influence, Harvey also introduced you to more judges, promoted you personally, and believed that you are the new 90 generation in our country, with stronger self-awareness, freedom of thought, and advocating democracy. , longing for Hollywood and the United States, can influence more young people like you..."

"Stop, stop!" Zhou Xia couldn't listen anymore, he already understood Harvey's routine.

But isn't this a false propaganda to fool the judges?
If he was really like that, would he still be filming "Descendants of China"?Will it still receive support from so many relevant departments?
However, this is indeed an excellent idea. Americans always think that their country is a country on a hill, they are God's favored voters, and they always want to spread their values, worldview, etc. to the world.

Harvey really deserves to be the person who knows how to play Oscars best and understands the rules of the game best. He is also worthy of being a real businessman. In order to make money, he does not hesitate to promote him like this.

He actually wanted to make those judges have a good impression of him through this, and then select his movies, and then use him to influence young people in China...

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Harvey really thinks so, or wants to guide him in this way.
