Hong Dabao has a very good understanding of the market's professional response, and the whole song is only about ten sentences long. Without the addition of the rap part, both the novelty of the music and the fit with the market's popular trends will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, even he, a simple music lover, can hear his whole body filled with passion. Those who know how to appreciate music will naturally give higher professional evaluations.
Hong Dabao was born with an upright and cheerful character, so after he rarely became happy, it became inevitable that he would be unable to stop the car for a while.
But the most gratifying thing is that Li Zhongsheng and Luo Da are two people. After all, they are industry leaders who have been engaged in music for decades. Although as they get older, their fame and status in the industry are obviously not as good as before.
If he can follow Liu Qingshan and catch up on the popularity of movies and songs, he may not have a chance to become famous again.
Even if they have no interest in returning to the front line, it is very realistic that their worth will rise when they become famous. No one will think that there is any harm in making more money.
The next day, Liu Qingshan and Hong Dabao returned to the crew, while Li Zhongsheng took Luo Dayou to Kyoto. They had to complete the post-production immediately because time was still very tight.
On this day, news came from across the ocean that the God of Medicine had entered the nomination list. It was quite surprising that the result came out so quickly.
Even though the United States is a superpower, there is still a very serious process-oriented office style.
Putting aside the usual work mentality of never working overtime, it is undoubtedly a miraculous thing to be able to approve such a big thing in a few days.
And this foreign language film that is currently being released can be included in the nomination list. It is said that it has caused a sensation there, and not just in the industry.
Although both opposition and welcome voices exist at the same time, I don’t know what the Oscar side thinks. Before public opinion can reach a final conclusion, all the individual contents that may be nominated are circulated.
In addition to the expected nomination for the Foreign Language Film Award, it was also nominated for five awards: Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture.
As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar, but for some reason, the voices of doubt suddenly died down after a day of fermentation.
Even though there are still quite a few voices who don’t understand, the voices in the mainstream media are no longer heard.
Correspondingly, there were gradually more and more positive voices. It was under such circumstances that Liu Qingshan received a call from Martin.
He specifically inquired about this matter, and Martin's answer was: "Many companies are eyeing your "Slumdog Millionaire". The competition is very fierce at the moment. I think this accounts for most of the reasons! Of course, the news about Yao Shen being released in our country was not too widespread before, and the main box office was supported by your supporters. But after the news broke that the film might be nominated, the number of viewers in major theaters suddenly increased. , so I think there is also a reason why the quality of the video is recognized!”
"Uncle Martin can't hand over the directorial rights to "Slumdog Millionaire" just because of me. I plan to let you make a big splash with this film!"
"Do you really like this movie?"
"Well, I am far more confident than Yao Shen, and the two films are somewhat similar in genre, and both are related to Tianzhu. Maybe if I miss it this year, its market response will be reduced."
"Then I will stick to my own direction. I didn't expect that when I get old, I have to go to the country of Tianzhu to stay for a few months."
"As long as Daddy Bumi is here, he will take good care of you."
"But I can't always stay in his manor. Many of my colleagues have told me that the air there is dirty, almost all development is lagging behind, and the street food is unappetizing. It feels like cow dung, which makes my hair stand on end just thinking about it.”
"I've been there more than once. It's not such an exaggeration. Their environment in the wealthy area is quite good, and there are public toilets."
"Anyway, I get a headache just thinking about it, but you must have your reasons for insisting on letting me take the photo. In this regard, you
More forward looking than we all seem to be. "
"I have discussed it with Kram. His Treasure Pictures will provide you with all support and help you find several main actors. They will also provide famous artists from their company to guest star in the film for free!"
"Haha, great, I'll call Kram soon. This guy is reliable and doesn't have the cunningness of ordinary Tianzhu people!"
"The other gunfight movie also caused a fight, right?"
"Warner and Universal almost went to war over the script. This is not an exaggeration, but the two companies' sniper plans have been released. In the end, it was your Aunt Tracy who came to mediate to calm them down. However, until now, the production rights still remain I have no whereabouts, and I’m just waiting to see what the outcome of “Slumdog Millionaire” will be!”
"What do you think?"
"It is probably a joint production of several companies. In addition to Sony Pictures, seven companies may join forces to divide the shares, but your "The Ballad of Drunken Country" is not included. Many companies are strongly requesting your vocal support and intend to monopolize !」
"I haven't received a call yet, but in my estimation, Aunt Tracy will be the most critical link, because I have to consider their academy first. This time the academy helped me with my film, so I have to do something. express."
"It makes sense, but it will be difficult to realize. After all, you will personally direct and participate in "The Ballad of Drunken Country". This market gimmick is too huge. I suggest you be mentally prepared in advance and don't follow many people for one movie." There is a rift between the film company and the film company!"
"So it depends on how Aunt Tracy chooses. I believe she is more thoughtful than me."
After ending the call, Liu Qingshan immediately told Zhang Peinian about the incident.
Originally, the first person he should notify was Han Shanping. After all, Huaying held the quota for introducing overseas films.
However, Zhang Peinian has recently expressed national concern about this matter through Liao Xin, so China Film Group became a secondary factor.
Moreover, Zhang Peinian's current position is that, strictly speaking, he is still the superior in charge of Huaying's introduction projects, and he also has a very critical signing power.
What's more, he is also responsible for some of the intermediary responsibilities between Liu Qingshan and the national level, both public and private, so this first phone call cannot avoid him.
After receiving the news, the shock in the tone was obvious: "Shanzi, are you saying that the God of Medicine actually won six nominations at the same time? Good guy, you are so awesome!"
Liu Qingshan explained patiently: "Currently, only one nomination has been confirmed for the Foreign Language Award, and it may not be included in the final five-person list."
"The news I got is not this, but your film will definitely win the Best Foreign Language Film Award, because according to people familiar with the Oscar awards, if you don't win this award, all their previous efforts will be in vain. It’s become a big joke in the industry!”
"Okay, I admit that I have received the other party's promise. Basically, the foreign language award is not a big problem, but the suspense of the other five awards will be unimaginably difficult. My suggestion is not to have too much hope!"
"I understand the reason. It's enough to be proud if you can get into the five quotas. After all, it's already very difficult for our Chinese films to get the right to be nominated. It's a major breakthrough after all."
"Then do you think it's still necessary to report it?"
"You must report it. Although the origin has not been officially verified by the Oscars, it will have a very important role in promoting the extension of the release period of Medicine God!"
"Then please, Brother Peinian, please help me keep an eye on this matter. I also want to know if your film and television department has any plans for my next TV series? Yes, it is "Before Dawn". After all, it has already been filmed. It’s been almost two years, and the approval has already been passed!”
"Haha, I know about this! What the person above means is that the production of spy dramas in the past two years has been too intensive, and it has caught up with the Olympics. Its final release should be after the Olympics, or by the National Television Premiere!"
"Okay, it's a little later than I expected, but at least I have a specific goal. The people from the crew have been urging me to find out, but I personally am not very anxious."
Zhang Peinian said cheerfully: "You don't have to hide your intentions.
, after all, the investment in this drama is not small, and the funds need to be returned as soon as possible. Well, let me ask you again if there is any possibility of releasing it in advance. "
Only then did Liu Qingshan throw out his trump card: "I have a period drama that is about to be filmed. It is aimed at the tear-jerking drama "Blue Life and Death" in the Han Dynasty, but it is far more grounded and more... It has epochal significance, and Sister Xishan and I will join. If National TV can help that spy drama start airing in advance, I will first consider that period drama to be on their channel!"
As of now, he is the only one who has the greatest say in platform selection in the entire mainland market.
Furthermore, regardless of the existence of a giant like National Television, which has irreplaceable influence in the industry, in fact, the real maximization of market value depends on the four major local satellite TVs.
Therefore, TV dramas that are generally popular in the market will first consider the latter, rather than national platforms such as National Television, which not only have complicated restrictions but also have strict upper limit requirements for bids.
Once Liu Qingshan is completely motivated by economic considerations, he will no longer pay attention to the attitude of National Television. Even if they find backers to exert influence, he will not take even a step back.
Therefore, the period drama directed by him and starring Jin Xishan is bound to have huge market appeal, and it will really carry a lot of weight once it is released.
Zhang Peinian instantly understood what he meant: "Hahaha, you see what I just said is right. The people from the crew urging you are just excuses. You yourself think that going online early is the ultimate goal. But having said that, you and the country The relationship between the two has always been very close, so why do you have to go through an extra detour through me?"
