Chapter 2669 Oscar Awards? !
After talking about the business, the Weinster brothers relaxed a lot, and chatted with Xiao Qi about some interesting things in Hollywood.
Although Xiao Qi is not very interested in Hollywood, it sounds quite interesting.
Du Feixing, who had almost eaten, also blinked, listening to them talking, and wanted to laugh from time to time.
It seems that Hollywood is the same as Huaguo, the stars are all superficial, but in fact they are not as good as ordinary people behind their backs.
"About our company, you can discuss it slowly, but now I have something to trouble you." When they were almost finished, Xiao Qi said slowly, "I heard that you are on the awards, Have a good ability to operate?"
"It used to be pretty good, but now I'm afraid it will be difficult for many years. After all, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain those relationships." Bob quickly explained.
"These should be picked up slowly, what a pity to throw them away?" Xiao Qi said, "Don't worry, you want money and people, just say hello to me, I will fully support you."
"You mean..." Harvey asked a little nervously.
"Get to know her, this is my girlfriend, Ms. Du Feixing, who recently filmed a movie called "The King's Speech" in the United States, acting as the second female lead." Xiao Qi pointed to Du Feixing and said.
"Oh, I know this movie, it premiered tonight. It's a movie co-produced by the little girl from Ellison's family, and a lot of elites were specially invited, even director Hopper was hired, It is said that it is for the Oscars." Bob finished speaking in one breath, then suddenly remembered something, and blurted out: "Mr. Xiao, you don't mean...Miss Du wants the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, right? "
"Very difficult?" Xiao Qi asked.
"It's not only very difficult, there is no hope at all in the last three to five years." Bob shook his head again and again, not afraid of offending Xiao Qi, "Only when the box office in Huaguo is as important as that in the United States, then for the Huaguo market, the Oscars will be released." There will be some compromises. Now, to have a nomination would be great."
"Then just one nomination!" Xiao Qi expressed his original request. "How? Can it be done?"
"I……"
Just as Bob was about to answer, Harvey next to him coughed lightly, "Mr. Xiao, we can't answer you about this matter. But there is a big difference between being nominated and winning. If you are willing to invest money, I think we can still work hard. All at once."
"Okay, let me take 30 million US dollars first, if it is not enough, I will invest more." Xiao Qi laughed. "By the way, you can also practice your hands first, get in touch with old friends, and prepare for more work in the future."
Harvey originally wanted to use Xiao Qi's money to work hard for his network. Seeing Xiao Qi say it clearly, he laughed a few times, but he didn't blush.
Du Feixing moved her mouth, intending to tell Xiao Qi not to spend so much money for a false award of her own, but now that outsiders are present, she is also smart enough not to tear things down in public.
To say she has no idea about the Oscars is pure nonsense.
But 30 million is just buying a nomination. That would seem too wasteful, not to mention that the wasted money belonged to my husband, so of course I was very reluctant.
Bob and Harvey took the check from Xiao Qi and left with a smile.
Tonight is the premiere of "The King's Speech". They didn't plan to join in the fun, but with Xiao Qi's commission, the two of them have to prepare, watch the movie itself, and watch Du Feixing's performance , and then formulate public relations strategies for specific situations.
Du Feixing will also attend the premiere. But it was 7 o'clock in the evening at that time, and she only had to rush to the place where the crew was at around 4 o'clock, and let a special person come and make up for her. Now there is still a lot of rest time.
Wait until back to the room. Sitting on the sofa, Du Feixing said in a low voice, "Husband, it's not easy to get the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. A mere nomination, does it take so much effort? 30 million US dollars is so much. You can make a lot of movies, and you can still make money! It’s a waste of money to spend so much money just to be nominated for an award!”
"It's not entirely because of this nomination." Xiao Qi picked her up and sat her on his lap, "Well, Xiao Xing'er, Hollywood is a vanity fair just like Huaguo's entertainment industry. For something, you have to pay something. This is the Americans themselves, and it is much more difficult for us Chinese to obtain these things than for Europeans.
If Huaguo's entertainment wants to go global, it must gain some fame in Hollywood and Oscars. And if our family wants to make a name for itself in the entertainment industry it controls, it must also have its own contacts in Hollywood. For example, if we can get the films they star in to be nominated for Oscars, Best Actor and Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director and Best Film... If there are not only nominations, but also hope to win awards, do you think countless stars will not Will rush to cooperate with us?
At that time, whether we are making movies or TV series, we will have the most sufficient personnel for us to call. If things go on like this, our Xiao family will be the top in the entertainment industry and even in the news media industry. This will also help to stabilize the status of our Xiao family. It will be a great thing for our descendants! "
Du Feixing looked at Xiao Qi, blinked his big eyes, "Well, I don't quite understand, but since you think it's good, then it's good!"
Looking at her innocent face, Xiao Qi felt his heart flutter for a while, hugged his wife and kissed for a while, and then separated after a while.
"You, you don't have to think about things, you don't know when others have sold you out." Xiao Qi gently stroked his charming wife's long beautiful hair, and said softly.
"With you here, who can bully me?" Du Feixing didn't care at all.
It is of course a good thing to be trusted and attached to by my wife wholeheartedly.
Besides, Xiao Qi is also able to take good care of his wife. With his current status and power, no one can bully Du Feixing.
Since Du Feixing is not interested in business, Xiao Qi will also hire a professional manager for her, and Fairy Company will provide supervision and supervision to ensure that on the basis of good operation, there will be no situation where the manager turns against the customer.
It's the same with Song Jiejie. Although she is showing her presence everywhere, it is simply not realistic for her to run the company now.
She can't even handle the smallest Beef Noodles of Bran Master's private house, let alone Dicos, which ranks third in the national fast food chain, and various affairs of Bran Master Beverage Group.
Back to the topic at hand.
Xiao Qi asked the Weinster Brothers to come out again and take charge of the Miramax company. The real purpose is for awards.
Actors and stars all over the world, who doesn't want to win an award?
Before they become superstars, they hope to make themselves more famous through awards, so as to become stars and gain both fame and fortune.
After becoming a superstar, they hope that their acting skills will be recognized by more people and make everyone admire their abilities more, so they are more persistent in awards.
Most of those who say "It doesn't matter if you win an award" are fake, and most of them are just watching the various awards every year.
Among all the awards in the film industry, and even among all the awards in the entertainment industry, there is no doubt that the Oscar is the highest honor.
Countless people are willing to give everything for Oscar.
There is still hope for these, and for those without hope, such as the actors in Huaguo today, they can only watch and envy them. It is a great honor and excitement to be able to attend the red carpet.
Speaking of which, there are actually more good actors in Huaguo, but the values of the East and the West are different, and the perspectives of appreciating movies are different, so the Oscars have repeatedly missed the Huaguo people.
The past few years have been better. As Huaguo has become stronger and stronger, some Oscars have gone to the people of Huaguo. For example, the best photography award once was given to a master photographer in Hong Kong, um, Of course not Guan Xigong's kind.
For example, Ang Lee's Oscar for Best Director Award, although many people complained that almost all of Ang Lee's experiences were in the United States, and he is a film master trained by Americans, but he is a Chinese after all, which is very worthy of joy proud thing.
The Weinster brothers are good at making movies, but their public relations ability in the Oscar awards far exceeds their own work, and they have repeatedly created "Oscar tragedies", which is jaw-dropping.
Xiao Qi is not short of money, what he lacks is the most professional talents like them.
I dare not say that within three to five years, Huaguo actors will become the Oscar's Best Supporting Actor and Actor, and in ten or eight years, Huaguo actors will be crowned Oscar Best Actor and Best Actor, but if we can recruit the Weinster Brothers, then this is A good start.
What's more, Xiao Qi's side is not limited to Huaguo's film and television companies, besides the Disney Group, Little Taylor and Tang Mingxiang also have American entertainment film and television companies.
If the company can produce two movie kings and actresses, it will be of great benefit to attract big stars to participate in the performance, and it will also be of great benefit to Xiao Qi's ability to quickly open up the entire film market.
The same goes for Huaguo.
Don't look at the fact that Kiwi Film and Television Group and Xiaoniao.com don't have any major productions, and their fame and strength in the film and television industry are not as good as those of the old giants. It's much easier to ask them to play.
For Xiao Qi, the money-making speed of the film and television industry, even if he makes a movie like "Avatar" every month, is far inferior to the money-making speed of Fairy Company.
The key lies in the expansion of influence.
Just like football, movies are the most watched entertainment in the world.
Continuously increasing the prestige of one's own family is the common way for celebrities from all over the world to protect themselves.
Moreover, running a film and television company is not as purely burning money as football. If the film and television group company is done well, it can also earn billions of dollars a year. (~^~)
