Chapter 1248 The First Award (Thanks to Tts Coke for the Reward)

"Also, Mr. Wang, your "Reminiscences of the Forbidden City" is also a popular Grammy. If you win the award, it will also bring certain benefits to "The Last Emperor"; however, our funds are limited, so we can only focus on the best works. The film original music award, so if you want to win more awards, then you have to bear most of the public relations costs." After the explanation, the representative of the public relations company brought up another topic.

"Okay, no problem." The public relations costs of many awards are shared by the producers and the people who hope to win the awards. Because winning an award is also a good thing for these people, Shen Long readily agreed.

Isn’t it just money? After I win the prize, my ticket sales price, copyright transfer fee, etc. will all go up a lot in the future.

"Well, since this is the case, we need to compete for two awards at the Grammys, Best Original Music for a Film and Best New-age Album! I will tell you the specific budget later, and you also need to do a good job Get ready and attend some events according to our plan." The representative of the public relations company didn't show any signs of change on his face, all of this was within his expectation, New York is a big vanity fair, and anyone who has the opportunity to gain fame will not miss it.

"I also plan to hold more parties, thanks to those who have spoken to me before." Shen Long added, Kitaro and other new-age bigwigs have said a lot of good things to him, and he really should thank him, and Some of them have a lot of influence on the Grammy Awards.

So no matter from the perspective of favor or benefit, Shen Long had to hold a few more parties to entertain them, and use this opportunity to build a good relationship with them.

Then the public relations company announced the specific plan. According to the regulations, they were not allowed to bribe the judges of the Oscar Academy, but the public relations company had already figured out the rules, and could easily find out a lot of loopholes in the rules.

Of course you can't pay bribes directly, but since you are a judge, you must watch the film, right? Since this is the case, we will send you a videotape, which is within the scope of the rules, and there is no problem at all; but our videotape is a little special, and the best viewing effect must be achieved with the latest model of video recorder .

Then I will give you one as well. This is all for the judges to better appreciate the art. As for what to do with the video recorder afterwards, it is none of our business. You can use it to watch films from other film companies in the future what.

Oh, yes, our "The Last Emperor" tells the story of the oriental world. If you want to appreciate this film better, you must have some understanding of oriental culture. Look at this silk embroidery, which is pure oriental culture Works of art, you can have a deeper understanding of oriental culture when you see it, so you can better appreciate the charm of movies.

You said the price? No, no, this is not for sale. It is not for sale in the United States. Since there is no price, you don’t have to worry about it violating relevant regulations. Just keep it at ease. Look, how well this piece of art matches your wife’s temperament!

Who said that the United States has no such thing as going through the back door? It's just that people have increased the cost of going through the back door, and ordinary people can't reach it. As long as you have money, let alone hiring a public relations company to help you hit the Oscars, even hiring an outside group to persuade Congress to change a certain regulation is not a problem, provided you have enough money.

Of course, if you want to move the Congress, it depends on whether this regulation interferes with the interests of other interest groups. It may be easier to talk about general issues, but the big issue can only be determined by which of the two interest groups is stronger.

So after discussing the plan, Shen Long asked Wang Qitian to help send some artworks from China.

He gave it to the judges, held many receptions, entertained people in the music circle, and gave them a lot of gifts; everyone was very satisfied with him, and his ability to do so proved that he had a thorough understanding of American culture And unspoken rules, in other words, he can be regarded as one of his own, so since he is one of his own, it is also appropriate to help him win the award.

When he wins the award, his status in the music circle will rise further. Maybe he will ask him for help in the future. At that time, it will be his turn to repay his favor; who said that Americans don't care about favors? With? People speak more clearly, and the price is more clearly marked.

Soon, it was time for the awards season, and Shen Long, Bertrucci and others successively attended awards such as the Italian David Award, the French Cesar Award, the Japanese Film Academy Award, the European Film Award, the British Academy Film Award and the Screenwriters Guild Award, Directors Guild Award and many other awards, and won a lot.

As predicted by the public relations company, Bertrucci won almost all the best director awards, "The Last Emperor" also lost many best picture awards, Shen Long and David Byrne won the British Academy Film Awards Won the Best Film Original Music Award, which is a good start.

However, Zun Long, Chen Chong and Wu Junmei had almost no gains, at most they only got a few nominations, and they ran with them throughout the awards ceremony; on the contrary, Peter Otto, who played Pu Yi's English teacher Johnston, won the British Academy Film Awards won the Best Supporting Actor award at the awards ceremony.

Just look at Peter Otto's resume to know how this award came about. Peter Otto is an Irishman who grew up in England and later entered the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art for further studies; he once starred in "Lawrence of Arabia" , "The Lion of Winter" and many other classic films, he won the British Film Institute's Best Actor Award for "Lawrence of Arabia" before.

He can be said to be an out-and-out own person. Many of the judges are his old acquaintances. It is not surprising that he won this award. Chen Chong and Zun Long are outsiders. The organizer did not have many judges when the awards were presented. Speak up for them.

Zun Long has been in the United States for a long time, so he knows a little bit about the situation, so his mood is quite stable along the way. Every time Chen Chong participated with full expectations, he was disappointed again and again, and his mood became more and more depressed.

Shen Long took the opportunity to point out a few words, trying to let her understand that the American film industry is not so easy to mess with, and she has to go back to China if she wants to develop, but she didn't seem to listen.

Soon, the small awards were given out one by one, and it was finally time for the big awards. Shen Long and Bertrucci ushered in the first award of this year's awards season, the American Golden Globes.

"Wang, guess, how many awards can we win this time?" Bertelucci looked confident.
