Chapter six hundred and eighty fourth mirror

The Academy Awards Ceremony ends and Hollywood will host various parties.

It was a carnival night.

To celebrate the four awards of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", American film companies held a celebration banquet at the Kuyes Restaurant on Monica Street in Santa Monica.

Although they did not win heavyweight awards, especially Best Director and Best Film, the Chinese-language film from Asia won four awards, showing their strong public relations skills.

After all, the Oscar is an American Oscar, and it is impossible to award important awards to a Chinese-language film.

The celebration banquet was very lively, with many domestic reporters coming to interview and take photos, and everyone talked about the award ceremony just now, and their excitement was beyond words.

This shows that the American media is extremely realistic.

Most American journalists stared at the crew who won the Best Picture and Best Actor and Actress Awards, and most of the people who came to the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" celebration banquet were interviewed by domestic journalists.

After the banquet, everyone walked out of the restaurant and took a bus to return to the hotel.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Lin Zixuan and Li An shook hands and parted.

There is no feast that never ends in the world.

The group of people from Good Dream Company will return to the capital tomorrow, and the influence of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will continue, but his cooperation with Li An ends here.

Back at the hotel, a group of people gathered in Lin Zixuan's suite and ordered a bunch of food and drinks.

The Oscars will be held in the afternoon, so I don’t have to think about dinner, and there is no chance at the celebration banquet.

In order to maintain the image, actresses basically do not eat and rarely drink water. If they are photographed with ugly eating, they may be ridiculed by the media for a whole year.

Now they are all their own people, so there is no need to worry about it.

After eating and drinking, everyone leaned on the sofa, watching TV, and many reports about Oscars were constantly replaying the Oscars' winning scenes.

The most popular ones are Best Actor and Actress, Best Director and Best Film.

Watching the replay, it feels very interesting.

For example, before the Best Director Award was announced, the camera was facing Li An. The list was announced. The camera instantly swept over Li An and turned to the winner.

"Director Li An prepared a speech on winning the award for Best Director, but unfortunately it was useless. He had a very high voice before and won the Best Director for several major awards." Xu Jinglei sighed.

"As far as I know, the voting rules of Oscars are relatively complicated. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" only has one company doing public relations, and it does not have an advantage in the source of votes, and it is not as good as a film supported by two major Hollywood film companies." Yu Dong explained, "The American public relations staff said that if this is an American film, the chances of Li Yan's winning the award can be increased by 20%. Americans are very conservative and will not vote important awards for a Chinese-language film."

To be conservative is not very accurate, it should be arrogant.

Americans think that the United States is the world's superpower, and their own things are the best. They don't pay much attention to things outside the United States and live in their own world.

Lin Zixuan was deeply touched by this.

He has not been idle these two days and has had contact with the heads of several Hollywood film companies. The other party is very interested in investing in the sequel to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Currently, the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the United States exceeds 50 million US dollars, and the global box office exceeds 100 million US dollars.

I believe that after the Oscars, the global box office will increase significantly.

However, the conditions they put forward are relatively harsh. Not only do they want to get the copyright of the movie, they do not give in to the box office share, and their attitude is quite strong.

Like "Little Snow's Big Adventure", Hollywood's big film companies are used to taking the initiative in cooperation. They have to lead the project and ask Haomeng Company to cooperate with them.

Moreover, they also think that Lin Zixuan's conditions are too harsh.

Hollywood has always been like this way of doing things. When facing film companies in other countries, they have a sense of psychological superiority and will not make changes because of good dream companies.

This is the main reason why the two sides cannot reach an agreement.

Fortunately, Lin Zixuan didn't put his hope on Hollywood film companies. He started with the UK and filmed "Little Snow's Big Adventure" and released in Asia and Europe.

As for North America, let’s talk about it later.

Without enough influence, there will be no bargaining chips for negotiation. In this world, you can ultimately see strength.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won four awards, and Chinese people frequently showed their faces at the Oscars. Sometimes Li An received the award, sometimes Yu Feihong presented the award, sang the theme song, and played the cello...

It seems to be incredible, but it is of little significance to improving the overall production level of Chinese films.

There is still a long way to go to catch up with Hollywood and reach the level of industrialization of Hollywood.

It would be unrealistic to think that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can allow Chinese-language films to enter the mainstream film circle in the United States and gain recognition from American audiences.

Of course, it doesn't mean that winning is not important.

At least it has allowed Western audiences to know Chinese films and boosted the morale of Chinese films. It feels that Chinese films can also go out of Asia and into the world, with more symbolic significance.

Lin Zixuan suspended negotiations with Hollywood Film Company.

Even if the negotiation is completed now, it is the result of a compromise. The loss is not only the interests, but also the basis of equal cooperation.

It’s not that he cannot compromise, but compromise must be valuable.

This time I attended the Oscars ceremony, I saw the glitz and reality of Hollywood.

It is like a mirror that not only reflects the various aspects of life, but also allows you to see clearly where you are.

Lin Zixuan believes that the gap between the domestic film industry and Hollywood will gradually narrow in the future, a global market structure is forming, and Haomeng Company will have a bigger stage.

On TV, the scene of the actress walking on the red carpet is being played, and Xu Jinglei and Yu Feihong also appeared.

Xu Jinglei was wearing a blue dress, with a necklace and earrings.

Dresses are not very valuable, only about 100,000 US dollars. The valuable ones are jewelry, worth millions of US dollars. Some Hollywood stars wear jewelry worth tens of millions of dollars.

This is the luxury of the Oscars.

A female star wears hundreds of millions of yuan. The entire award ceremony is equivalent to a mobile vault. This is all sponsored by jewelers. After the Oscars are over, they will return the dress and jewelry.

Jewelry sponsors send special people to follow the stars, so they should not let stars run around with tens of millions of dollars in jewelry.

Everyone talked about the big directors and big stars they met, and they dispersed late at night.

After everyone left, Lin Zixuan called.

At this time, it was noon on Monday in Beijing. Mu Shanshan was working in the company and the two chatted on the phone.

Domestic news has come out, and there are reports from TV and newspapers. The first time a Chinese film won the Oscar for the best foreign language film was set, which is worthy of happiness.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zixuan lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

No matter what, this Oscar ended like this. They returned to the capital tomorrow to continue their lives and film their own films.
Chapter completed!
