To be honest, Chen Mengxi himself has a casual attitude towards Oscars.

If you can get it, just take it, if you can't get it...

An American movie award is not so important that he needs to kneel down and lick it!

But the company advised him to lick it well...

Others don’t have a chance to lick!

Licking means PR!

Public relations, isn’t it just about spending money?

Say, how much is needed?

Is fifty million US dollars enough?

You said it's not cost-effective...

The secondary market has an increase, which directly raises the stock price.

"Green Book" participated in the investment in "Green Book" won the Oscar for Best Picture, and it was well known that it was premiered in the mainland. Ma Yun even booked a venue to invite a bunch of friends to watch the movie, saying: Ali Film is not far from Os!

Um?

Isn't "Green Book" an American movie?

Ali Film should be a Chinese film company, right?

Why use Oscars to evaluate a Chinese film company?

But the secondary market is very fond of this. After some speculation, Ali Film's stock price actually rose by 18%...

The director of "Hunting" is Chen Mengxi. Mengxi Company participated in the investment of 15%. If she won the Oscar, Chen Mengxi would be the second person in the Chinese film industry - second only to Li Mi...

But after arriving in Los Angeles, I analyzed it with Nancy that the focus of "Hunting" is on the best actor. As for the best film, it is good that the best director can be shortlisted.

Not afraid of Harvey!

But Chen Mengxi's reputation in North America is a little embarrassing - he publicly said in an interview that year that "the Oscars are only formed into a benchmark in the film industry and a feast for film business because of American hegemony and Hollywood's influence. To put it bluntly, the United States tells filmmakers all over the world that either you shoot movies according to American tastes and play according to American rules, or you get out. I'm not very interested in this thing!'

Two years ago, during the public relations "Manchester by the Sea", Harvey dug out, which is one of the major reasons for the failure of "Manchester by the Sea" to win the award!

By the way, I reminded me: "There is little hope for the Oscars, the Golden Globes are the key!"

"ah?"

Nancy is not very understandable. The Golden Globe Awards... are not as good as the Oscars!

“The Golden Globe Awards are very well-known in China…”

Nancy nodded casually: "OK, that's very simple!"

“It’s very simple?”

"…The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is happy to create big news and award the big prize to a Chinese, so they can do it... Moreover, this year's award-winning movie, "Hunting" has the best reputation!"

Chen Mengxi nodded and joked: "Do you need me to do anything? For example, invite them to listen to Xueer's concert?"

"Ha ha…"

This is an allusion. In 2010, all the judges of the Golden Globe Awards were entertained by the film crew of "The Fatal Companion Travel". They went to Las Vegas for a free trip and also watched a concert by Cher, which made this movie with a poor reputation shortlist...

Indirectly explains the difficulty of the Golden Globe Awards PR...

Simple level.

It's done in one concert!

...

Chen Mengxi didn't stay for a long time, so he made a plan and returned to China the next day.

He had to meet Kong Sheng, Hou Hongliang, and invite Zhou Xun together!

News from Kong Sheng, Zhou Xun is preparing to take a year off - "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", which has made her very troubled and exhausted both physically and mentally...

That won’t work. Brother Xun doesn’t play Jiuer, who will challenge Gong Li’s role back then?

Buffy Zhao?

She doesn't have that energy...

Zhou Xun + Qin Hailu + Ni Dahong + Hu Ge + Zhu Yawen + Lei Jiayin are the six protagonists decided by Chen Mengxi!

There are many characters in this drama, but the core of the drama is Jiuer!

Jiuer's role has been decided, so the rest will be easier.

Anyway, except Brother Xun, Chen Mengxi never thought about any other candidate!

After getting off the plane, he headed straight to Hou Hongliang's office...

The first thing Hou Hongliang said when he saw him was: "You are back!"

Before Chen Mengxi could speak, his second sentence: "Zhang Ziyi said she wanted to act in "Red Sorghum"!"

Chen Mengxi was stunned for a long time before he realized: "She...how did she know?"

"How could I know?"

...

Chen Mengxi is actually the home of a TV series. The first TV series "Double-sided tape", then "Wang Gui and Anna", "Snail House"...

Coincidentally, the directors they collaborated on were Teng Huatao.

What’s more coincidental is that after leaving Chen Mengxi, Teng Huatao’s works plummeted. Whether it is "Looking at This Family" or "The Female Editor Who Walks Through the Zoo", they have never reached the level that everyone knows!

Chen Mengxi later cooperated with Kong Sheng and Hou Hongliang.

"There is a Family in Wenzhou", "Parents' Love", "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky", and "Fighting Changsha", all of which are well-known dramas!

"Red Sorghum" has always been a well-known IP. After all, Ah became famous with "Red Sorghum" and was crowned the Berlin Golden Bear Award!

Let me add that 1988 was really the highlight of Ah:

The debut work "Red Sorghum" won three awards in succession, including the Golden Bear Award, the Golden Rooster Award for Best Picture, and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Picture. It is the first time that China has won the highest award at the three major international film festivals in the world;

Not only that, in the same year, he starred in his first movie "Old Well" and won three actors in the Tokyo Film Festival, Golden Rooster Awards and Hundred Flowers Awards, becoming China's first A-level international film festival winner!

Such a high-density award in a year and such a strong record is unprecedented, probably... no one will come afterwards.

In fact, many people want to film the TV series "Red Sorghum"...

According to Mo Yan, this matter has been around for more than ten years, and groups of people have left. Some people have not agreed on the adaptation fee, while others have retreated half of it, which feels very difficult to do.

Yes, it must be difficult to make. With the movie version of the jade, if someone doesn’t shoot well, someone will have to make a decision!

Screenwriter team Zhao Dongling ("China Land"), Lian Yue ("Walking in the West"), Shen Jie...

The three teachers each wrote their own parts, and finally reviewed them by Shen Mengxi, Gao Mantang and Mo Yan…

Director Kong Sheng is the strongest TV series lineup in the mainland.

The project of this drama has always been kept confidential, but it was still found out by the outside world.

After all, many people are staring at Chen Mengxi's every move!

"Red Sorghum"!

With such a good team, even Zhang Ziyi was moved.

...

For a moment, Chen Mengxi was a little moved. Zhang Ziyi's first TV series, not to mention anything else, just this gimmick is enough to make a profit!

From a business perspective, this is completely feasible!

You said Zhang Ziyi's movie star is not good at acting in TV series?

Why can Tong Yao, who looks like her, be able to do it?

Hou Hongliang poured him a cup of tea and asked, "What do you think?"

"…I was thinking, if Zhang Ziyi came to act, then all our character designs about Jiuer would have to be overturned!"

The script design is that Jiuer is a girl full of light and elegant temperament in the water town of Jiangnan.

Not a tall, strong girl like Gong Li with a full body...

It's just for the difference between design!

But Zhang Ziyi...

It's really hard to imagine her playing a light and elegant girl...

"Then...reject?"
Chapter completed!
