Chapter 113 North America
It's still early to shoot the official!
Casting will probably last for one or two months.
The script is still being compiled, and a bunch of media that received the news wanted to interview the chief producer Bai Xiaofei, and then found that this guy was gone and he was not in China!
...
Xiaobai's purpose is very simple when he goes to North America.
Awards season is coming, and "Truemon's World" is obviously a big hit, so of course you need to have a public relations!
Let’s talk about the North American box office of "Truman's World". As of the release, "Truman's World" has won a box office of nearly 50 million US dollars...
Well, it wasn't as fierce as "Hero", and that thing was too fierce and directly won a total box office of $53 million.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a bug!
He directly won a total North American score of 120 million!
"Beautiful Life" only received $57 million!
Ang Lee is so awesome!
Lao Taozi is also cruel enough, and the box office of "The Ambush on Ten" in North America also exceeded tens of millions of dollars!
Director Kai Ge is a little short of it. "Farewell My Concubine" received $5 million, while "The Promise" simply only $660,000...
As for pants, Jiang Wen, the movies of the two can only be released in places with Chinatown, so I can't find them...
Exotic stories are difficult to succeed in North America!
So, public relations are even more needed!
By the way, let’s talk to Netflix about the publicity work of "Li Shimin"...
The PR of the awards season is actually very simple, just telling the judges that you value awards very much, otherwise, it will be difficult for David Finch to win the Oscar in this life!
David Finch is not an alternative director like David Lynch. He is not a typical independent producer, not a B-level director, nor a director who takes it as his mission to express his own will. David Finch has never deviated from the mainstream route of Hollywood, but he still cannot be classified among mainstream directors. He films star-studded genre films, but it is not so commercial; he takes the technical route, but he does not lead the new trend like James Mellon, and he is still very old-school at heart; he is skillful, but not so well-behaved; he is said to be a craftsman, but he is not as frequent as Long Howard, and his film recognition is quite high, and he can be called the "author". He is said to be an author, he is not a real author like Old Woody.
This thing is definitely the most popular choice for Oaika!
Unfortunately, he just couldn't win the Oscar!
"Social Network", "Dragon Tattoo Girl", "Gone Lover"...
All three works should win the Oscar for Best Director!
Unfortunately, all the horses were ignored!
The reason is very simple, his PR is too trash...
However, recently, Harvey Weinstein was imprisoned (37 years in prison). Perhaps, out of compensation, the Oscars will award the best director to David Finch...
"Trumen's World" was very successful in box office, and the critics also gave good reviews. Now the one that is bad is PR!
...
Los Angeles Airport, Cafe.
David is reading the newspaper.
As awards season approaches, a bunch of newspapers are predicting the ownership of next year’s Oscars…
Although the Oscar has taken a step to establish a Best Popular Film Award. As the name suggests, this award will be awarded to movies with outstanding box office results, the specific selection criteria and methods are still being discussed at the Academy.
The establishment of this award is to some extent a new concept of writing film history, formally putting commercial films that were excluded by most film historians on the table, acknowledging their importance to the development of film history.
Record changes in popular trends.
But many film critics don’t like this, including David, who think it’s a blasphemy to the Oscars!
The focus of this year is "The First Man on the Moon" and "Collette"...
Another movie New Year.
After turning a page, David noticed a line of small words: "Netflix will cooperate with Chinese film companies to create a historical film about the Tang Dynasty..."
"Tsk, who cares about foreigners' history?"
Things that can be skipped by just a glance are like this. North America is a strange land, and isolationism is still prevalent. Most American publics are not very concerned about things that have nothing to do with the United States.
The American media market is definitely the largest insulator in the world. Even in the past twenty years, American TV stations have never played a foreign program in prime time. Audiences across the United States watch much fewer foreign-themed movies than they imagined. Films with truly successful foreign-themed movies are often adapted from classic literary works or fairy tales and myths that are popular in the Western world.
As for the history of the Tang Dynasty in the East?
How many people in the American public know who Li Shimin is?
What David noticed was that this historical film of the Tang Dynasty was actually Bai Xiaofei, who was the one he was going to receive!
How to say it, Netflix is different from traditional production companies. Its model subverts the traditional Hollywood landscape and has irreconcilable contradictions. If the newbie chooses to cooperate with Netflix, his situation in Hollywood will be very difficult in the future!
“…It’s a good thing it’s just a TV series!”
Sighing, he continued to flip down, and the phone rang.
"I'm here at the cafe on the left of the exit!"
It was Bai Xiaofei, and the appointment meeting place was made. David called Pany Kellis, who was the public relations person in charge who Bai Xiaofei called for!
This is a Hollywood celebrity!
There are many battles that are enjoyable.
The most famous one should be the cheating incident of Kristen Stewart. It was obviously just a very simple cheating couple, which directly led to Kristen Stewart losing confidence in men and coming out publicly...
Well…
It's a bit exaggerated, but Christine Stewart did publicly cheat...
...
Xiaobai got off the plane and felt very comfortable...
The temperature in Los Angeles is relatively high than that in Beijing, otherwise how could it be called California Sunshine?
"Hi, David!"
After meeting each other, Xiaobai sat down.
“What to eat?”
"Coffee and burgers!"
What can I eat in the United States? In addition to KFC, there is also the Golden Arch...
"Pany Kellis will arrive in a while, by the way, no congratulations yet."
“…What are you congratulating?”
"Didn't you cooperate with Netflix?"
"…Oh, that's just a preliminary cooperation agreement, and it's still too early to implement it."
Xiaobai didn't care, so he picked up the burger and took a bite...
It tastes weird and has no salty smell...
After taking a bite and swallowing it, I didn't have the courage to take a second bite.
"…This trip was mainly to meet Jim Carrey, "The Man on the Moon". There are many places I want to have a good chat with him!"
"No problem, I have made an appointment, you will be able to meet the day after tomorrow!"
"Thanks!"
“…Xiaobai, public relations…”
Chapter completed!
