"Of course I'm sure. These things are too complicated, so don't worry about it. I know it well. Besides, I also have the only one-vote veto power in the academy, and I will still be responsible for the follow-up development of the project. As the core leadership, I attended and participated." Trish's tone sounded firm.
Liu Qingshan stopped pestering him: "It's quite complicated, so I won't ask any more! Your attitude towards this matter is..."
"Promise them that although some subsequent operations may arouse doubts from some Hollywood film companies, your attitude will be the most critical part, so I hope that if possible, you will come up with a few more scripts to use this Come and shut their mouths!"
"Good guy, how can I say that there is a script? Otherwise, my movie will be accepted for the next Oscar!"
"You can accept it, but it does not mean that the Academy is willing to accept it. Otherwise, once this film wins other important awards, our Oscar industry status will be laughed at, but we cannot restrict you from participating in all invitations. This is unrealistic, and it is also harmful to you. unfair."
"Of course I would like to be recognized as soon as possible, but the problem is that if it is done this way, the artificial traces will be too obvious."
"So we will make this matter public and strive to get feedback from the market in the shortest possible time. We have confidence in your support from the public, but the attitude from the major film companies is the most difficult to grasp, so I will Let you contribute scripts. Tell me the truth, how many mature scripts do you have now?"
"Two, one of which is still planned to be operated by Uncle Martin!"
"Martin, let me explain. Who are you waiting for for the news about the other movie? By the way, is it possible for that "Drunken Country Ballad" to be filmed in advance? I know that your work plan for this year has been arranged, so no If you are in a hurry to shoot, you can do it at any time this year. The important thing is that a film company from Dora comes in!"
"You have also read the script. The scenes in it all take place in winter, so the shooting time is after winter. I can take it out, but it is still the reason for worry. My new movie has been nominated to win an award, and I personally am not afraid of the impact. , I’m afraid that your college will attract criticism or even investigation!”
"Hahaha, so you are worried about this! Let me tell you bluntly, the superficial fairness of our Oscars is quite recognized by the market, especially in this unconventional operation, and then entering the final selection stage, No behind-the-scenes manipulation methods will be used, and various labor unions in Hollywood will be specially invited to send people to oversee the scene."
"So, it doesn't matter to you whether my work wins or not?"
"You misunderstood. It's not that we don't care about the results, but we firmly believe that your work has high enough quality and market influence. Maybe you don't need our intervention to successfully win the award!"
Tracy's confidence in Liu Qingshan is not ordinary. Every work of this guy basically has the pulse of the times.
It is unusual to have such a sensitive insight in the entertainment industry. It is almost equivalent to a special function that can guide the direction of popular trends.
Therefore, this Hollywood veteran who has been committed to the development of film art for decades is full of confidence in whether his works will win awards.
On the other hand, Liu Qingshan knew that the original version of Yao Shen did not have such widespread global influence, but with his addition, this version of the film would have already transformed into a new target that can attract global attention.
What's more, this version has filled in all the plot holes, and also focused on describing the effectiveness of Tianzhu's cloning medicine.
The price of this kind of drug is less than a fraction of the genuine drug. It is a reasonable and legal drug in Tianzhu.
Through such publicity of this movie, it will inevitably lead to its fame and attract serious audiences around the world.
And with the usual business thinking of Tianzhu people, they will not care about the serious protests from the R&D units of well-known large foreign pharmaceutical companies against unauthorized imitation.
Therefore, it can be said that Liu Qingshan's work has indirectly helped Tianzhu's pharmaceutical industry with free publicity.
Therefore, the international influence of the film will be enhanced by the support of Bollywood, another major film production base.
The movie has another bonus.
Although Bollywood does not have much weight in the European and American markets, the combined population of China and Tianzhu accounts for almost half of the Earth's population.
With so much extra public enthusiasm, it will definitely have an irreversible market effect on any international awards from other perspectives.
Moreover, the film also had a high box office in Tianzhu, and even seriously squeezed out the market share of local Bollywood films during this period, which is something that the original version did not achieve.
Tracey and her colleagues, who have extremely rich knowledge and industry experience in the film field, will certainly be able to judge these advantages.
That's why they boldly made the idea of not interfering with the final award results, not to mention the quality of the film itself is already very high, and the added energy of Liu Qingshan, a new force and new national idol.
It is basically a matter of course for the Medicine God to finally win the award, so they are not worried about the embarrassment of having nothing to show for their busy work.
Liu Qingshan, who has figured this out, is not an indecisive person: "This result is best for me, and I have no reason to refuse."
The other end of the phone chuckled and said, "I know you can figure it out, but you must be accommodating. Counting that "Drunk Country Ballad", with your three scripts, I should be able to shut the mouths of those big investors. Already!"
"I can provide the script, but regarding specific casting issues, I will never give up more choices because of special circumstances. This is also my bottom line!"
"Hollywood understands your insistence. They may feel uncomfortable, but why are your scripts such a hot commodity today? You don't compete with them in terms of profits. It's already very harmful to those film companies. It’s a lucky thing.”
This is not Cuixi's exaggeration. Movies based on Liu Qingshan's scripts have never experienced investment failure, and many of them have even made a lot of money as a result.
"I'll ask my aunt to help me with how to operate it next!" Liu Qingshan didn't forget to add.
"You don't need to worry about the rest. It's not appropriate for me to come forward. However, I will go to Martin personally to talk about this matter. Perhaps it is most reasonable for him or season to come forward."
"Then should I inform Uncle Martin in advance?"
"Just wait for the call. You may know some things in the industry better than me. Let's listen to his opinion first! But your script must be prepared in advance. Time is already very tight. There are no more intermediate links. Nothing can go wrong!"
After the call ended, Jin Xishan, who had been staying by his side and not daring to talk, became obviously excited: "It seems that God is helping us. Hollywood actually came to us so proactively. Once the medicine god wins even one Oscar, Small awards will also greatly stimulate the box office of later movies."
Liu Qingshan's excitement is not here: "I have never heard that a new film that has not been withdrawn from theaters can participate in this year's selection. The operation is not that difficult. Who are these people? What are you thinking? I don’t think they are just thinking about the movie.”
"Whatever!" Hong Dabao, who had also listened, shouted with a strange expression, "Since someone is so proactive in helping you, and it is of no harm to you, why bother to think about it so much! "
"That's right, although this is the first time I've heard of such a good thing and it's not that difficult, but what does this have to do with us? You just came up with a few scripts in advance." Jin Xi Shanle said cheerfully.
Liu Qingshan nodded: "That's right, it's rare for someone to be willing to run errands for us, so let's give it a try. Anyway, we didn't win the prize in the end, and it's not us who are embarrassed!"
Director Ye made fun of him: "Your movie didn't win an award, why don't you feel ashamed? This is such a strange idea."
Liu Qingshan laughed and said: "Winning an Oscar is a miracle for any of our Chinese-language films. The Western market has always had serious regional discrimination against us, so I didn't include this award in the first place. Of course it will only belong to It was an unexpected surprise, and it was expected that I didn’t win!”
""Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won four Oscars for Best Art Direction, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Music. But strictly speaking, it was not invested by Chinese people. The largest part was invested in Hollywood. So that one can only be counted as a Chinese-language film. The same is generally true for several other films. Either they were not invested by the West, or they were not only nominated, but they were also dispensable subsidiary awards such as the Best Documentary Short Director Award. "
"Yes, our Chinese films still have a long way to go if they want to really take off. Occasionally high box office numbers are not enough."
"Since you understand in your heart, don't think so much this time. It's a rare opportunity. Let's take this express train first and then talk about other things!"
"Well, I'll start preparing right away! Sister Xishan, here on the set, you can help Director Ye and Brother Dabao on my behalf. If you don't have my part in the scene, try not to disturb me."
"You should go into retreat. This is a good thing. Even if it is only nominated, I think it will still greatly stimulate the current box office."
Liu Qingshan returned to the temporary editing room alone, but did not get into work immediately. Instead, he made a phone call to Han Shanping, who was an absolute boss in the mainland industry and was connected to the official will.
Such a big thing must be reported, and it is necessary to use his mouth to get the official attitude.
When Han Shanping heard this, he was so surprised that he couldn't recover for a while: "Are you sure it was the organizer behind the Oscars who came up with it? It's not your Aunt Tracy's private idea?"
