Chapter 157 Cannes and North American Oscars under the influence of money(2/3)
In March this year, the film "Out of Africa" truly won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture.
This 50-year-old North American director has won many awards at the Cannes International Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival.
There are even more awards for other sub-level film industry awards.
His qualifications were so perfect that he became the first member of the jury at the Cannes International Film Festival.
After the two parties met and exchanged polite greetings, Sidney both smiled and praised, "Zhao, I am also very familiar with your name. You have created new genres of action movies one after another, which is simply one of the best contributions to the world of cinema."
"When I came here this time, I heard from Adjani that a movie you are filming (Juno) is expected to be completed in early May? I heard Adjani describe that the script is too classic."
"If you are willing, I can recommend (Juno) to enter the main competition unit of this Cannes."
Zhao Sheng is a good man, and not many people can stop his personal charm. For the sake of his film career, he recommended (Juno) to enter the main competition section and was nominated for the Palme d'Or, the Grand Jury Prize, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actress.
What……
This is the charm and magic of the film industry!

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "Thank you, that's great. Sidney, I've also watched your Out of Africa. It is indeed the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture."
"By the way, do you usually have a hobby of financial management and investment?"
Sidney was overjoyed, "Yes, yes. I am a person in the film and television industry. I have earned a lot of salary. If I put it in the bank, I can only watch it depreciate. It is so heartbreaking. I like financial management very much. Unfortunately, I used to
Those I encounter are often scammers or low-skilled practitioners.”
"I really want to find real professionals to help me manage my money."
That's it.
It was Adjani who had negotiated everything and came here to make friends.
Even if it doesn't win too many awards, just one Palme d'Or or Best Director, this movie (Juno) can be considered a contribution to Zhao Films!
Can one jury chairman handle everything? But in 1986, the entire jury only had 9 judges, and including Sidney, there were only 10 judges.
Juno itself has that Western quality and depth…
………………
Two days later, April 9th.
A French director named Charles arrived at the Zhao Financial Center after being introduced by Adjani. After a pleasant exchange between the two parties, Charles asked curiously, "Mr. Zhao, do you want to nominate the best actor?"
"I think Andy's acting skills are passable. The action movies he starred in before were not in line with the aesthetics of the award circle, but the movie Juno is still a classic."
Zhao Donghuai sweats that Hua Zai was nominated for Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival in 1986? Even if Hua Zai in this dimension was not blocked by Shao Daheng.
Even if the quality of (Juno) is there, he was nominated for Best Actor at Cannes... Hua Zai's current acting skills are even inferior to those nominated for Best Actor at the Hong Kong Island Film Awards.
You can’t be too enthusiastic as a person!
In later generations, various awards circles in the Mainland have been ruined. Isn’t it because of the great contribution of Bei Bi and others? If Juno had Tony Leung Ka-fai, Zhou Runfa, and Wan Ziliang as the male protagonists, it would be reasonable to be nominated for the Cannes Best Actor but not win the award.
, logically.
Hua Zai, it’s not that he doesn’t want to help Hua Zai, this is too vain and too watery!
After thinking about it, Zhao Donghuai waved his hand, "Forget it. Even a nomination for Best Actor is too weak. It would be nice if Best Director could win."
"However, for our Hong Kong Film Awards next year, we need many industry elites to sit as judges..."
Charles laughed, "No problem, whether you need me to do something, Mr. Zhao, or find some other friends to help, it's all a small matter."
There is no way, it's not that the people in the judging circle have low moral integrity, it's actually that Zhao Donghuai has too much personal charm!
Charles also knew that judges from the three major European film festivals, Cannes, Berlin, and Venice, and even the Oscar Film Festival, came to serve as guest judges for the Hong Kong Film Awards. This was a super over-the-top behavior.
It will make the Hong Kong Film Awards’ status in Asia soar!
What film festivals are there in the province, Tokyo, etc.?
But so what if he knew? Can film festivals such as Wanwan and Tokyo put him on the fast track to making a fortune? No.
Zhao Sheng can do it!
Whether you are competing for the Oscars or the three major international film festivals in Europe, you need to spend money to operate. Spending money to win awards is basic. In the future, the notorious Harvey Viens will rely on helping others.
A little trick to win the Olympics and become a super villain?
Under this situation, Zhao Donghuai is willing to show mercy and lead them to grab quick money from American, British, French and other national capitals. Of course, he must support it with both hands and feet.
Once again, Zhang Min was asked to take Charles to the financial company on the 25th floor. Zhao Donghuai once again sighed with emotion. Money is such a thing. Money can really make people go crazy. Batman's super powers are well-deserved!
Now his financial group is involved in all kinds of money, too much... I wonder if the Hong Kong government will use the method of freezing funds again?
Let’s do a new simulation again.
The new simulation made Director Zhao feel smooth and stable, with a positive attitude. There was still no off-market move to freeze the funds. It was normal when you think about it. When he was the only one who made a fortune with a few young ladies, no matter how hard he cheated or how he froze it,
It's a matter for the Zhao family.
What now? How many thousands of Hong Kong Island citizens have participated?
How much money from the mainland is involved? Not to mention the Hollywood funds that join in piecemeal one by one, and the small sums of judges from film festivals such as Cannes and Berlin.
Whoever is using that kind of extravagant trick is cutting himself off from the people!
All the hundreds of financial investment companies established by Zhao Donghuai are running cleanly within the rules, but you are using unwarranted and nonsensical tricks? How many tens of thousands of people will go crazy?
Including the police force system, they will jump and scold them. In the various Zhao Group employee systems, there is no shortage of relatives who are in the police force. They are not direct relatives but also close relatives, such as cousins and cousins.
If you have such close relatives in the police force, you will have the opportunity to invest money and make a fortune with your close relatives.
What impact will this have on Zhao Donghuai? It's just that if he has to go to North America to film in person, he may be arrested for "stepping off the plane with his left foot first after landing".
It's not just him, but Zhou Huimin, Guan Jiahui, Monica and other women may also be detained if they go to North America to film, and they will be used to threaten Zhao Donghuai.
Fortunately, when she first proposed that the girls pool their money together in August to pool hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to play financial and foreign exchange, Guan Jiahui had already brought her mother and younger brother back from North America...
Otherwise, the pair of hostages will definitely become a good weapon for North America to cause trouble!
………………
Los Angeles on April 10th.
When the sun shines on the earth, the entire (Forrest Gump) crew, under the coordination of Robert, operates in an orderly and orderly manner.
When the shooting of a shot was finished and Robert called out, a scene manager came over and said, "Director, Mr. Jack is here to visit the team. It's Jack from the Film Editing Association."
Robert was startled and hurriedly dropped what he was doing to greet him. There were tens of thousands, if not hundreds, of thousands of men named Jack in all of North America, including Europe, North and South, and Africa.
But Jack from the Film Editors Guild is very different!
That is this year’s North American Oscar Academy Jury Presidency, the oldest one. Countless North American films want to win the Oscars, but if they don’t have a good relationship with big guys like Jack, they basically have no chance.
Sidney was able to win the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture in March with "Out of Africa", and with this resume, he became the first member of the jury at this year's Cannes International Film Festival.
How could it be done without Mr. Jack's permission? After all, five films are competing for the best picture, and five directors are competing for the best director, such as Akira Kurosawa of the island country...
Robert's film (Back to the Future Part 1) was a global box office hit, taking in more than 400 million U.S. dollars, which was higher than the original track. It was the feminism hype brought about by Mr. Huang, which stimulated white male audiences.
They all voted for (Back to the Future) and got more box office.
But even for Back to the Future, in the entire Oscar, it only received nominations for Best Sound, Original Song, and Original Music.
The award was for best sound effects editing... it wasn't even a movie editing, it was a sound effects editing!
So Jack, the oldest member of the Academy President’s Jury, came to visit the class (Forrest Gump)? Robert felt a little flattered when he ran to greet him.
In this era, including the next twenty or thirty years, countless directors are pursuing artistic achievement! What is artistic achievement? Isn’t it the awards at various international film festivals?
Most of the directors who work in the same industry wonder how much box office you get for making a movie? The higher the box office, the more you will be discriminated against and looked down upon by the academic community, and they feel that you have gone astray.
Jack, one of the pinnacle figures on the path to directorial honors, can also influence the pursuit of dreams of countless directors. For example, in the future, Leonardo DiCaprio will become a global hit when he shoots Titanic, and his commercial value will explode. However, he was rejected by the Oscar Academy.
How long has the pie been struggling with?
That is just an example, there are many similar examples.
You said that Jack is the first member in March this year, and next year... The first member of the Oscar Academy's chairman jury can be re-elected. His term of office is one year under normal circumstances, but as long as he is not re-elected for more than four years, he is allowed.
.
Who knows next year, in 1987, or the year after that, in 1988, whether this Jack will continue to sit in the highest position, influencing whether each movie can be nominated and win awards.
Zhao Donghuai said at the beginning of the filming that (Forrest Gump) could be nominated for an Oscar after filming, and Robert also wanted to compete for an Oscar.
Robert ran to greet him, as did assistant director Aaron and others.
On the contrary, this scene left actors such as Zun Long, Adjani, Bruce Willis, and Jennifer Taylor who had just finished filming one scene stunned.
Until Jack, the Oscar boss, walked into the set accompanied by Robert and others Canxiao, Robert quickly waved and asked Zunlong and others to come over.
After briefly introducing the identity of Old Jack, a group of filmmakers were in awe, and then Robert began to introduce the general plot of Forrest Gump... and also prepared a copy (Forrest Gump) for Old Jack.
After listening to this, Old Jack was greatly shocked, "The life of a disabled person with low IQ? He has created different miracles in life in many fields. What a great book!"
Old Jack didn't want to come. An award-winning boss like him was already at one of the pinnacles of the academic world. In the past, he would sit at home while others came to ask for money.
But, old Jack is not alone in the world. He has a wife, children, grandchildren...
