2034 [Successful and defeated]

Go back to Hollywood by plane.

I went to Columbia Pictures first in summer and met Lang Mayer.

"Boss, congratulations!" Long Mayer bowed with a smile when he saw Xia Tian.

"What's the point of congratulations? It's just a shortlist and hasn't won the award yet." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled.

"No matter what, being shortlisted is already a victory, boss." Long Mayer smiled.

"I don't think so. I must win this Golden Globe Award." Xia Tian curled his lips. He didn't want to be shortlisted for so many awards like the last Cannes Film Festival, but he failed and ran with him throughout the journey.

"Must have to get it?" Long Mayer was stunned, and then said in surprise, "Mr. Xia, it's impossible. Awards are also about opportunities. How can there be 100% like this?!"

"I said there is, there is." Xia Tian smiled slightly.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Hollywood filmmakers had not yet formed a trend in public relations for awards. The main reason was that the European and American film markets were not good at that time, and many filmmakers were in a state of losing money all year round and on the verge of bankruptcy. Even if they were supporting themselves, it was very difficult, so they naturally were reluctant to spend millions of dollars to lobby for the judges at the award ceremony.

It was not until the mid-1990s that Hollywood once again won the love of movie fans around the world with the help of realistic computer effects technology. After making a lot of money, they were willing to spend time at the award ceremony.

Therefore, Hollywood filmmakers are still relatively regular now, and in summer, they can just get this leak and get the award while they are not prepared.

Although this method may not be glorious, the so-called winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. When the prize is in hand, no matter how sad the others are, it is useless.

Just like Gwyneth Paltrow, many people laughed at her Oscar winner for being too humid, but so what? She still co-stars with Tom Cruise, co-stars with Robert Downey Jr., and co-stars with Johnny Depp. "The Noble Thief"... Her annual income is still as high as 9 million US dollars, ranking 12th on the Hollywood actress income list.

"What do you want to do?" Long Mayer saw that Xia Tian was so confident, and quickly asked curiously.

"Do you know the list of Golden Globe judges and contact information? Send our video tape to them to enjoy. In addition, I also booked the review columns of several major Hollywood newspapers and asked some well-known film critics to help us say something nice to you. There are also drinking parties, parties, arrange some fine wine, food and beauties, and ask these judges to come and have fun." Xia Tian immediately ordered.

"Can this work?" Long Mayer couldn't help questioning after hearing this.

No one has tried Xia Tian’s approach before, and I don’t know if it’s effective or not.

"Why can't it work?! The president of your country can be chosen by spending money. What's the difficulty of just one award?!" Xia Tian asked back.

When Lang Meyer heard this, he had nothing to say.

Indeed, the US presidential elections are all determined by creating public opinion, attracting votes, and smearing opponents. Although the award ceremony and the presidential election seem to be incompatible, if you think about it carefully, you will really have the same effect.

"I understand, Mr. Xia." He nodded immediately.

"Since you understand, then do it right away." Xia Tian waved his hand and said.

...

Long Mayer then followed Xia Tian's instructions and began to lobby for "Eat Raw".

The Golden Globe judges soon received a video sent by Columbia Pictures, and the tracking phone number came over immediately. They urged them to watch the movie quickly and asked them how they felt. If the judges' evaluation was not high, they would still be tireless to persuade them.

The film review columns of several major Hollywood newspapers were also bought out by Columbia Pictures, and published the review of "Eat Raw" written by well-known film critics. Because the film "Eat Raw" is indeed a fine product, the critics are not stingy with praise, and they have actually said a lot of good things for the film.

The articles of these film critics will not only affect the judges' judgments, but also make them more inclined to vote for the drama "Raw Eat". They will also create public opinion and make the people feel good about the drama.

In addition, the cocktail parties and parties organized by Columbia Pictures also invited the judges. The judges at the Golden Globe Awards are all members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and their income is actually not high, so free cocktail parties like this, with parties accompanied by celebrities, are very tempting or powerful for them.

Therefore, many judges were happy to go to the appointment and chatted with Xiatian, Demi Moore, Sophie Marceau and others, and were very happy and grateful for Xiatian's hospitality.

...

Xia Tian did these small actions without hiding them from the eyes of those who are interested.

Many film companies protested, believing that Xia Tian was deliberately guiding the judges and even suspected of bribery, and should be condemned and punished.

Faced with the accusations, Xia Tian was confident and did not admit that he misled the judges. "My opponent's accusations against me were completely slander. I asked the judges to attend the screening, just to introduce my movie to them so that they could understand the movie. I think the judges should have some understanding of the work before voting, and this requirement is not an exaggeration.

I think it's just a coincidence that they will appear at the cocktail party with me. Before I attended the cocktail party, I didn't know that they would attend. I just participated in normal social activities, but was slandered and bribed the judges. I think this is very unfair to me, and I will reserve the right to sue."

After reading his response, these film dealers couldn't help but scold them for being shameless.

The video sent by summer was brought to the judges and invited them to attend private screenings, which was clearly intended to guide them to vote for him. Inviting them to attend the cocktail party was indeed suspected of bribery in disguise. Because the wine at the cocktail party was all good wine, thousands of dollars a bottle, and ordinary people could not afford it.

These things he did were simply Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone knew about them. But he refused to admit it, but instead spoke of himself like a white lotus with an innocent look on his face. He even sued others for spreading rumors and slandering them. It was really despicable.

But no matter how much they scolded, they still had no choice but to do anything to Xia Tian.

One way is that it is feasible if there is no ban on the Golden Globe Awards selection rules. Film dealers are not prohibited from doing these things, so the summer approach is in line with the rules; the other way, Columbia Pictures made nearly one billion US dollars last year, which can be said to be a daily profit of gold and a strong fortune. Therefore, it is willing to spend money to win an award.
