Chapter 113 Awards Prediction and Reception

After listening to Chen Lin's explanation, although Zhao Liying was still a little unwilling to accept it, she reluctantly accepted it.

If Zhao Liying really wanted to work hard in Hollywood, Chen Lin chose not to ask, the environment that would be much worse than Zhang Ziyi back then.

At that time, Monica Bellucci and Sophie Marceau joined Hollywood with great reputation, but what happened?

Monica Bellucci starred in several movies, sold a few waves of meat, and returned to Europe in shame. Sophie Marceau's situation was not much different.

Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi have also been in Hollywood. The former has a "Miami Storm", and the only thing that people can remember is the passionate clips in the movie; Zhang Ziyi is a little better, after all, she has played Warner's largest individual shareholder, but she still has only one "Memoir of Geisha". She has many opportunities. Warner has always coveted the market on the other side, but letting her play a scene like Fan Ye in less than a minute is more uncomfortable than killing her!

So, I returned to China for exhibition.

After all, not every oriental woman is called Wendi Deng!

"I'll leave first, Shen, don't forget that there will be a cocktail party at Hilton tomorrow, more than half of them are Oscar judges. Please be sure to be there!"

Bill Dorothy stood up and said by the way: "If possible, accept interviews from several media. I heard that "Variety Show" and "Vanity Fair" have always been very interested in you!"

"Ok!"

Chen Lin smiled and watched Bill leave.

...

"What do we eat tonight? Do we make dumplings?"

Zhao Liying put on an apron and seemed to be ready to cook.

"…Forget it, I'll find the yellow pages of a Chinese restaurant right away, let's order something to eat."

Chen Lin has always been skeptical about Ying Bao's cooking skills.

“…What are you looking at?”

After staying in the United States for three days, Zhao Liying no longer felt as fresh as she had just arrived. Fortunately, her English has improved a lot, and at least she can understand TV programs.

But, it's still boring.

It's far less comfortable staying in the country!

Chen Lin, on the contrary, for him, such a life has long been accustomed to it.

A few years ago, he traveled to Hollywood alone, and that's how he came here.

At this moment, he was reading a copy of The Hollywood Reporter with relish.

"I'm looking at the media's predictions for the major awards this year."

"Oh, is there anything?"

Ying Bao also became interested and sat next to Chen Lin.

"From the current situation, the best film should be "Focus" or "The Room". The best director is probably George Miller or Arisandro Gonzalez Inarido. These critics are really interesting. They bet on all kinds of bets about what they think if "Focus" doesn't win the Oscar for Best Picture, it will definitely be a shame for Hollywood..."

“What does "Focus" mean?”

A series of names popped out of Chen Lin's mouth, and Zhao Liying was a little confused.

"Well, it's a movie that reveals real events, telling the story of a Christian chicken girl doing children; in fact, if "Focus" can win an Oscar, it means that Hollywood's originality has declined to the extreme, and movies can only be made through real events, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the entire film industry..."

"Didn't you tell Bill that the best actor this year must be Little Little?

The young lady is not interested in this thing at all. The North American film industry she knows is very limited.

It is estimated that she doesn't even know who Arisandro Gonzalez Inarido is.

"Yes, this is for sure!"

"Then you go with me to see this movie tomorrow."

"No problem... No, it may not work tomorrow. We will attend the cocktail party together tomorrow."

Just as I was about to agree, I suddenly thought of Bill Dorothy's instructions before leaving.

"Do I want to go too? But I didn't bring any dresses or anything else..."

Liying looked at her husband in a little embarrassed manner.

"Didn't you bring a dress? I think about it..."

According to Bill, tomorrow's cocktail party will definitely be a relatively formal party, and dressing neatly is a kind of etiquette.

"You call Fang Jianhao and ask him to contact Dior in the United States. The dress problem should be solved."

After all, the young lady is Dior’s global spokesperson. If she wears too much, Dior’s face will not look good if it is reported!

...

Around the awards season, major studios look for various reasons to hold various parties and cocktail parties every year.

The purpose is very simple, and I hope that my movies can be looked up by the judges.

In China, it is called bribery, but the Americans have understood a proper term, called public relations.

Although the profitability of the traditional Hollywood six majors has become increasingly questioned, especially MGM, who has suffered losses and went bankrupt in a fancy way, MGM is definitely able to make a name for herself in terms of public relations investment!

Even Paramount Film and Television, which is regarded as the least public relations industry, spends much money on banquets every year.

Not to mention the Disney Group, which has firmly occupied the six dominant positions in recent years!

Today's party, hosted by Disney, invited a large number of senior Academy-aged Oscars who have a deep experience. These people not only have the right to vote, but also have the right to nominate. Their and the connections behind them can definitely control most of the awards in each Oscar!

Of course, some popular actors and directors will be invited.

Shen Lin and Zhao Liying are one of them.

"I'll go! A cocktail party is even more exaggerated than an annual meeting. It actually has a red carpet!"

Through the car window, Shen Lin was a little surprised to find a red carpet about fifty meters long in front of the Hilton Hotel.

"Not only, there are many media taking photos!"

Zhao Liying is very excited.

Mostly, female artists are different from men. When Shen Lin saw the red carpet, he thought of dealing with the media again after a while. It was really annoying; Zhao Liying was thinking about how to overwhelm these natives in North America!

"Okay, let's get off the car."

After all, it was not a real film festival or award ceremony. There was no organizer helping to arrange the order of appearance. After waiting for a while, there was no one on the red carpet. Shen Lin took Liying's left hand and helped her walk out of the car.

Dior values ​​Zhao Liying very much, so, as the spokesperson, Shen Lin only wore a black suit, while the young lady wore a floral lilac long skirt, paired with special size 34 high heels, which was very beautiful!

"Director Shen Lin, can you probably reveal your outlook for this awards season?"

The person who stopped Shen Lin and wanted to interview him was actually a reporter from Domestic Entertainment.

Damn, why do domestic journalists even exist in such occasions?

"Well, so far, "Carol" has won several outposts' best foreign language films, and its reputation is also good. No matter what, I am still full of confidence anyway! Just like Ang Lee said, "It's better to be happy for a day." It's not too late to be sad when the result comes out!"

“Does that mean you are determined to win the best foreign language film?”
Chapter completed!
