Chapter 581 The Competition Is in Progress "Whoever Offends China Will Be Punished No Matter How Far Away He Is!" Lin Gengxin's Connections?

Chapter 581 The competition is going on... "Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far they are!" Lin Gengxin's connections?

Wally Hardinge, who lives on the edge of downtown Los Angeles, joined the Art Directors Guild in 1997. It was not until 2003 that he received an invitation from the Film Academy and became a member of the Academy and qualified to vote for the Oscars.

At first, he took every Oscar very seriously.

He would watch every film carefully, and discuss with public relations or related filmmakers and critics, and finally cast his crucial vote solemnly.

However, he gradually discovered that in several consecutive Oscars, none of the films he favored won any major awards!

On the other hand, those films or actors that were not particularly good in quality were able to win important awards repeatedly.

From then on, he found that his own seriousness alone could not determine the direction of the entire Oscars.

Therefore, when he participated in the Oscar award selection in the future, he usually cast his vote "fairly and impartially" by drawing lots or throwing darts.

As a typical old white man, unlike other Oscar judges who are corrupted by alcohol, sex, money and power, he is usually able to say the word "no" very honestly in the face of temptation.

Therefore, after each Oscar selection begins, he will occasionally publish articles in the media and blogs, criticizing the Academy for letting the film investors conduct publicity and public relations, which has led to a mess in the Oscars.

Because of his straightforward character, he was ostracized by many people.

But at the same time, it is precisely because of this upright character that he has won the recognition and support of many people and gathered a large number of fans.

This morning, after getting up, Wally Hardinge first made himself a cup of coffee, then went to the study, turned on the computer, and prepared to publish a blog post that he had compiled last night.

The selection of the Oscars has once again reached a critical moment. The reports on the media are simply a mess, and the bad atmosphere makes him extremely dissatisfied.

Therefore, he decided to criticize as in previous years and make every effort he can, hoping that the next Oscar can make changes.

However, when he opened his blog and Twitter and logged into his work email, he found a new email in his inbox.

Like many people, he also has a special mental cleanliness and doesn't like the red dots on the messages he receives.

So he paused his blog posting and called the email to take a look.

It was this one look that caught his attention!

The email was sent anonymously, and the content was closely related to the Oscars.

"Dear Mr. Wally Hardinge, we apologize for the intrusion and hope you can forgive us.

The reason for sending this email to you is to recommend the movie "Django Unchained" to you. If you like this movie and hope that we can win the important Oscar award, please vote for us.

If possible, I hope you can forward it to your Oscar judge friends, so that they can also vote for this movie and forward it.

Your help will make us very happy. Similarly, we will not be stingy. The attached gift will be sent to your home after the award selection is over..."

Obviously, this is a very straightforward canvassing and bribery email!

If it were other Oscar judges, they might be curious about the "attached gift".

But Wally Hardinge is not an ordinary person.

After seeing this email, his face became extremely ugly.

Because according to the regulations of the Academy, any crew participating in the Oscar award competition is strictly prohibited from sending canvassing emails to Oscar judges.

Even for a party PR event, the crew can only send various materials to carry out indirect lobbying, and even give some small gifts to the judges, but it is strictly forbidden to directly solicit votes.

To put it simply: the PR team can say how good the movie is, but they cannot directly ask the judges to vote for a certain movie.

Of course, this is just an open rule, and everyone should do what they should do in private.

For example, when Chen Fei asked Woody Allen, Wen Ziren, and Catherine to vote for him, he called them directly.

And Bruce was even more aggressive when doing public relations.

The Academy stipulated that the gifts given to the judges by the crew should not exceed US$35, so the guy took a different approach and chose to "rent" the gifts to the judges.

As for the specific years of renting to others, isn't it up to him?

However, these are all public relations methods for facing their own people and those judges who like "wine, sex, money and power".

Wally Hardinge obviously doesn't buy it!

After becoming a judge, he carefully studied the public relations requirements of the Oscars.

According to the Academy's regulations, the crew can send information about the film, film reviews, and various praising articles to the judges via email, but it is strictly prohibited to have obvious canvassing and bribery.

In fact, even if it happens, there will generally be no problem, as long as the gifts are delivered.

But now, "Django Unchained" has hit a wall!

Wally Hardinge, a cynical old angry young man, has many dissatisfactions with the smoky Oscar public relations.

In the past, he could selectively turn a blind eye and pretend not to see anything.

But now, someone actually sent canvassing and bribery emails to his work mailbox, which is undoubtedly a provocation to him!

"Fuck! Damn PR! It's getting too much! If all movies choose to do this, then where does the fairness of the Oscars come from?"

The angry Wally Hardinge couldn't stand it anymore.

After taking a screenshot of the email content, he logged into the blog and quickly wrote a blog post.

"Have the Academy's regulations become a piece of waste paper? Some crews and films actually bribed the judges openly in an attempt to get important awards. This is simply a naked violation! What is the Academy's Supervisory Office doing? Are they just allowed to mess around like this?"

After adding a screenshot of the email content, Wally Hardinge directly published this blog post.

At the same time, he opened Twitter and posted the same accusation under his personal account.

Just these were not enough to calm his anger.

While publishing the article, he called the supervision department of the Film Academy, and called the president, vice president, committee, etc. of the Academy, angrily accusing "Django Unchained" of illegal public relations.

After a lot of trouble, the morning time passed quietly.

"Damn it, my work is not finished yet, all because of this stupid public relations method."

He tapped the mouse angrily, feeling a nameless fire in his heart, with nowhere to vent.

Because according to past experience, if nothing unexpected happens, the Academy should suppress this matter, and then find someone to act as a lobbyist, asking him to delete the blog post and tweet.

A step back, in exchange for the other party's step-by-step pressure.

In his opinion, the reason why Oscar public relations has become so chaotic is because of the Academy's inaction!

"Dinglingling..."

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Wally Hardinge felt a little hopeful, and he couldn't help wondering if his report had any effect?

The call was from a committee member. After he answered the phone, before he could speak, a lecture began to sound from the other side.

"Hartinger, delete those stupid blog posts and tweets you posted immediately. The public relations violations will be handled by the college. Who allowed you to post such blog posts without authorization..."

"Fuck!"

Before the other party finished speaking, Wally Hardinger hung up the phone angrily. The anger that he had suppressed with great difficulty burned at this moment.

The person who made the mistake was not punished, but the person who stood up was targeted. What's the reason?

The black computer screen reflected his angry face. At this moment, his face was flushed, like a mad bull!

Just as he was about to do something, the phone rang again.

Wally Hardinger was not going to answer it. He subconsciously thought that this was another call to lecture him.

However, when his eyes swept across the screen, he found that the caller was from an unfamiliar number.

After thinking for a moment, he pressed the answer button: "Hello, this is Wally Hardinge."

A pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Mr. Hardinge, I am Amy Nott, an independent media person. I just saw the blog post you posted. May I ask if you received all of these?"

"Yes, what do you want to say?"

Amy Nott said in a deep voice: "I have specifically learned about the Academy's ban on Oscar awards. "Django Unchained" obviously violated the ban.

And you are the first judge to expose this matter. I admire your seriousness and responsibility. Can I take up a little time to interview you?"

Walley Hardinge was stunned for a moment, and the anger in his heart did not decrease, but he inexplicably had some good feelings for Amy Nott, who claimed to be an independent media person on the other end of the phone.

After so many years, it was the first time that someone was willing to stand by him and admire his behavior.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's meet somewhere. I'm willing to accept your interview."

Then, after the two agreed on a meeting place, they hung up the phone.

Wally Hardinge had completely forgotten about his work. He changed out of his pajamas and put on a suit. He went directly to the garage, started the car, and rushed to the place agreed with Amy Knott.

On the other side, Amy put her phone in her bag after ending the call, and made an OK gesture to Natasha and Chen Fei who were paying attention to her.

"Great!"

Chen Fei praised out loud and raised his hand to applaud.

As expected of a professional media person, he got close to Wally Hardinge in just a few words and agreed on a meeting place.

Amy Knott stood up: "Boss, I'll leave first then?"

Fade Chen nodded: "Okay, I wish you success in advance."

Natasha added: "We don't have much time. After the interview, you should contact the media immediately and spread the news."

"Okay, I understand."

Amy Knott responded and left quickly.

After watching her leave, Natasha also picked up her handbag from the desk: "I have an appointment with the theater company. I have to talk to them about the number of theaters for the opening of "Kung Fu Panda 3". I'm leaving first."

"Ok."

Fade Chen responded, moved the mouse, and opened Weibo very smoothly.

Everyone else is busy, and he just has nothing to do, so... let's eat melons!

The first day box office of "Wolf Warrior" has been announced. On the day of its release, the box office closed at 48.23 million.

Judging from this data, if nothing unexpected happens, it has basically laid the foundation for a big box office success.

Chen Fei specially looked up the comments of movie fans on this movie.

"Too cool! 'Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are'! This sentence is much more domineering than the previous oaths. In a humorous and relaxed atmosphere, it completed the arduous task of defending the country and represented the Chinese soldiers. Thank you, Wu Jing!"

"Not bad, this movie tells us that talking too much nonsense in PK is the root cause of death. The protagonist has a lot of personality. It is much better than the anti-Japanese drama that tears the devils apart with hands."

"The explosive scenes coexist with humor, plus Wu Jing's wonderful kung fu, and a large number of high-end weapons. I strongly recommend military fans to watch it ! So cool! "

"Fast pace, compact narrative, good weapons and equipment, good 3D effect, I felt that the bullet shell and the severed hand were about to hit my face, and I was almost scared to death when the shells penetrated the wall!"

"The whole movie is very enjoyable, which completely aroused my patriotism, especially the scene where Wu Jing stepped on the criminals and roared at the border, which was so damn cool!"

Looking around, countless good reviews have occupied Douban, Maoyan and other platforms, and the score is currently maintained at more than 8.7 points.

Compared with "1942", "Wolf Warrior" is obviously a movie that is more worthy of a second or even third viewing.

The film truly presents a war between the Chinese army and overseas mercenaries on the border. At the same time, it also allows the Chinese special forces and teams named "Eastern Wolf" to appear on the big screen for the first time, allowing the audience to have a deeper understanding of special forces.

More importantly, the movie mainly tells the legendary story of a small person in the army who experienced ups and downs and gradually grew into a lone hero who defended the dignity of the country and saved the fate of the nation.

To put it simply, this is a film that is a perfect theme of a cool article, which hits the G-spot in the hearts of many male compatriots.

Of course, it is impossible for a film to have no negative reviews.

Chen Fei saw two reviews praised by black fans:

"A weak story structure, coupled with the expected Chinese-style plot setting, makes "Wolf Warrior" a bit like an absurd propaganda film."

"Military laymen will find the military actions in the film very realistic, and the cross-country raids in the film are still very watchable in terms of action, but the development of the film's plot is somewhat unsound."

For these reviews, Chen Fei's approach is very simple.

Just pretend it doesn't exist.

There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, and a film with no negative reviews is impossible.

As long as the box office can sell well, these can actually be ignored.

After taking his eyes off "Wolf Warrior", Chen Fei saw a lot of news about Yang Mi.

After the whistleblower in the industry broke the news of her termination of the contract, this matter naturally could not be hidden.

Yang Mi and Zeng Jia simply stopped hiding it and directly announced the official termination of the contract with Feiyinghuang Agency and the news of opening a personal studio.

As expected, the news directly landed on the hot search list.

Many fans expressed their support, and many black fans mocked and ridiculed, mocking Yang Mi's company that would never last long.

Yang Mi did not pay much attention to these voices, but chose to respond in a low-key manner, just quietly filming her own "Tiny Times".

At the same time, Zeng Jia also stopped smearing Zhao Liying.

The warning has appeared. If she continues to do it, then the newly established Jiaxing Media is likely to become the second Lu Chuan Studio.

And she and Yang Mi will also become the second Lu Chuan!

As for the endorsement of Longines watches, Yang Mi had already failed when Feiyue Film and Television announced the preparation plan for "The Journey of Flower" and "The Martian" began to select advertisers.

Without the support of the agency, she simply did not have the extra confidence and trump card to compete for this endorsement.

There are quite a few brands in "Tiny Times", which are all opened by Guo Jingming. He also has a certain say in the fashion brand industry.

But compared with Feiyue Film and Television and Feiyinghuang Agency, he is not even a younger brother.

Although it is regrettable and disappointing, Zeng Jia and Yang Mi have no other choice except to admit defeat.

And the most important thing is that the counterattack from Tangren is too fierce, and Yang Mi is still a little too presumptuous. She, an actor, can't stand Cai Yinong's attack!

The most typical example is the current Lin Gengxin.

After tearing his face and going to court, Lin Gengxin was targeted by all the actors under Tangren.

Not only that, a lot of black material about him has emerged on the Internet.

During the filming, he did not cooperate, his acting skills were poor, he was a big shot, his character was poor, and his quality was low...

In just a few days, he seemed to have become the biggest cancer, villain, and scum in the entire entertainment industry. In addition to quitting the circle, he seemed to have no other choice.

Many people who don't understand the situation were really led into the pit and sprayed Lin Gengxin without thinking.

But most people in the industry are just watching the fun.

Everyone knows that this is Tangren's usual operation.

When facing competitors or actors who are unwilling to cooperate, they first defeat them in public opinion and then force them to comply.

This time, perhaps in order to establish his authority, Cai Yinong actually revealed that he wanted to completely ban Lin Gengxin.

As soon as this intention was revealed, he was immediately ridiculed by the circle.

Ban?

Do you really think that Tangren still has such a big presence now?

For a while, not only did no company in the circle respond, but there were also a lot of ridicules.

Chen Fei was originally watching this matter with the idea of ​​eating melons, but to his surprise, Ye Ning from Wanda suddenly called him and talked to him about Lin Gengxin.
