Chapter 520 Advice

Inviting Feng Xiaogang to direct a movie is Tianmei Media’s plan!

That's what they're doing.

Fundamentally attack the Huayi Brothers!

What? Brother Huayi is unwilling?

What right do they have to be unwilling? Feng Xiaogang has his own company, Taihe People's Media. For those movies, Huayi Brothers are just investors, not producers!

Other directors can't handle this kind of life-flow movie, but only Feng Xiaogang can hold it.

…

There will definitely be a cocktail reception after the award presentation.

This year's Hundred Flowers Awards is a gathering of stars. The host lineup alone includes Zhang Guoli, Dai Jun, Tu Jingwei, Jiang Kun, Bi Laoye, Huang Jianxiang, Wu David, Huang Hong...

Avenue of Stars includes Shuang Bing, Sun Honglei, Liu Xiaoqing, Xie Tingfeng...

Of course, the one with the biggest celebrity status is Gong Li - he won the Best Actress Award for "A World Without Thieves".

Gong Li was crowned Best Actress of Hundred Flowers for the third time - winning twice for "Raise the Red Lantern" and "Pretty Mom".

By the way, Liu Yifei is here too - a guest performer, singing and dancing to "Heartpalpit"...

We also put in a lot of effort to promote the album!

It’s rare for so many celebrities to get together, so of course they have to have a cocktail party!

Anyway, the organizer has money.

Gong Li came over with a glass of wine: "Harvey asked me to stay in the United States from next month to February next year to cooperate with his public relations activities..."

"It's normal."

Shen Xudong smiled: "Hollywood produces many good actors and movies every year, but there is only one statuette for each project. Who should it be given to? It depends on each person's means.

George Lucas denounced the Oscars as a political game, and famous directors such as Spike Lee also criticized the Oscars. Instead of recognizing good movies and filmmakers, they should reward people with strong communication skills and willingness to spend money. This is the Hollywood PR game! "

"I took a look at his plan. The awards season is three months long. The first is the screening. "Carol" will organize more than five screenings, invite members of the Academy to watch, and at the same time impress the film critics to praise the film... There are various promotional activities, PR parties and PR banquets..."

“That’s right, you can’t stay out of sight of the media, film critics and Oscar judges!”

Gong Li was speechless: "Then... what about the promotion of "Golden Armor" and "Manslaughter"?"

"Just take the time to attend the premiere..." Seeing what Gong Li wanted to say, Shen Xudong asked: "Just tell me if you want to be nominated!"

"...Of course I want to be nominated..."

"Then participate... Let me tell you, competing for the Olympics is a systematic job. Some people are willing to do anything just to gain attention!"

"for example?"

"For example, 'Mrs. M' Judi Dench in 007 once tattooed Harvey Weinstein's name on her hip in order to please Harvey, and publicly claimed that even on the red carpet, she would do whatever Weinstein asked her to do. You can unbutton your pants and let people see your buttocks to gain publicity..."

Gong Li was surprised, and then thought of something: "...that Harvey..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Follow Kristine and never meet Harvey alone. This person is very inhumane!"

"...Then you still cooperate with him?"

"What does his humanity have to do with me? I don't work in Hollywood..."

While they were chatting, Zhang Guoli came over and said, "Are you exchanging results?"

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "No, just talking nonsense..."

"Are you talking about that American movie?"

"Hmm... called "Carol", let's talk about the prospect of competing in the Olympics!"

Zhang Guoli was surprised: "Can you really win the Olympics?"

Shen Xudong nodded and explained: "The probability of winning the award is low, but there should be a good chance of getting a few nominations."

Speaking of this, he saw Liu Yifei standing in the corner, thought for a while, and said: "Uncle Zhang, Sister Gong Li, I'll go over there..."

"Tsk tsk!" Zhang Guoli couldn't help but exclaim: "You guys are so awesome!"

"...Because he is great, I will be responsible for acting..."

"How do you think he has such a big brain and knows so many things?"

"How would I know…"

…

Liu Yifei actually often attends cocktail parties. According to Godfather Chen’s original words: practice social skills!

She has indeed been trained. In the years after her godfather's accident, she continued to attend various business activities, among which the Evergrande celebration became an important way for Liu Yifei to make money.

Ahem, Shen Xudong looked at her: "She sings well!"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes: "...don't you sound terrible?"

"That's because I'm not good at writing songs. It has nothing to do with you!" Shen Xudong changed the subject: "Didn't you just follow Huang Zhonglei?"

"...Uncle Huang has something to do..."

"Where's your mom?"

"She went to the toilet..."

"You are 19 this year and you will be 20 after the Chinese New Year. Why do you still take your mother with you wherever you go?"

Liu Yifei frowned: "...She came here by herself. Besides, I'm not used to my mother not following me..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "This habit needs to be changed. How can anyone take their mother to work? Do you want your aunt to try out your husband for you when you get married in the future?"

Liu Yifei became anxious and slapped her: "Bah...you are shameless!"

"Let's use an analogy. Why are you so impatient..." Shen Xudong touched the shoulder that was hit and thought of something: "Don't you like Gong Li? Come on, let me introduce you to him!"

As she spoke, Shen Xudong took her hand and walked towards Gong Li...

…

Aunt Liu returned to the hall and searched for a long time before she saw her daughter standing next to Gong Li. The two were talking about something. Next to them were Huang Zhonglei, Zhang Guoli, Chen Hao, Huang Bo...

Look closer and you can hear Gong Li saying, 'Going to Cannes with your own movie would be a nightmare,'

Huang Bo was very curious: ‘Why do you say that? ’

'You have to sit down and watch your film in a completely open setting with an entire audience, and whether it's good or bad, you can't change anything. I have opinions, and sometimes I scold why I am so stupid...'

‘You are asking too much of yourself! ’

‘It’s not enough if the requirements are not strict. Today’s young actors work too hard... Chen Hao, how much weight have you lost? ’

"Almost 30 pounds..."

"Tsk tsk, just for a role!"

Huang Zhonglei interjected: "I heard that the novel "Carol" has been around for a long time. Why hasn't it been filmed?"

Shen Xudong explained: "There are two reasons. First: social atmosphere. When the original novel "Carol" was published, the author had to use a pseudonym to avoid public criticism; second, the studio did not pay attention to the female market!"

After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "They believe that the film market is dominated by men, and there is no market space for lesbian movies like "Carol", where the relationship ends in marriage..."

"In fact, many directors expressed interest, but eventually withdrew, including Kenneth Branagh, the director of "Love Actually," John Maybury, the director of "Love Actually," etc..."

"Then why do you dare to do it?"

"I think there's something going on... In the mature film market, the spending power of women is not weaker than that of male viewers..."

Huang Zhonglei nodded, glanced at Shen Xudong meaningfully, and said: "Fortunately, Huayi has no movie releases during the Lunar New Year this year!"

Liu Yifei noticed Mummy Liu coming over and hurriedly greeted: "Mom...this is Gong Li!"
