San Lodo, ​​a high-end restaurant in a private club in Beverly Hills.

With a smile on his face, Wu Xiaozu listened to Harvey dancing and telling American jokes, which made the bald old Bai Zuo who was opposite him laugh out loud.

""Seven Sins" is undoubtedly a very in-depth movie. I like this kind of work that explores human nature very much. The line design of this movie is very clever, so it is naturally worthy of a nomination on LAFCA. This is a The screenwriter's conscience."

The old man smiled, and the 'Christmas gift' that was delivered to him in an exquisite gift box flashed in his mind... Oh no, it was a supporting facility for watching "The Seven Sins".

The exquisite set box includes: a video player and power amplifier produced by Dongying, as well as other gadgets, even two bottles of fine red wine and a box of cigars.

When enjoying a movie, it is natural to drink some red wine and smoke a cigar.

"I will call on people I know to help recommend this movie. Recently, this movie is still very popular in the circle of film critics in Los Angeles... I really didn't expect that Director John would be able to shoot such a crime movie in another way. "

The bald old man named Ayton complimented Wu Xiaozu with an exaggerated smile.

Recently, as the awards season approaches, the number of screenings and screens of "Seven Sins" has gradually increased.

With a good publicity plan and word-of-mouth among movie fans, the number of screens of this movie in the United States has exceeded 500 yuan.This number is not a small number among independent films.

If you want to expand the number of screens, you need a company with strong distribution capabilities to operate.Harvey is flirting with Disney ... and may use each other's channels to expand distribution.

The premise is that this movie can bring benefits to the other party.

For benefit is eternal.

"I am very grateful to Mr. Ayton for his help during this time. Harvey and I will never forget this friendship."

Wu Xiaozu held up his glass with a smile, maintaining his usual smile, "Mr. Ayton is an old-timer in movies. I know from Harvey that you worked in Hollywood in the 60s. Obviously, no one knows movies better than you. It is a great honor to receive your evaluation..."

Let's chat, talk about what other people like to hear.

"It's also my honor." Ayton raised his glass with a smile, the creases on his face twitched into a ball of laughter, "I also hope that more excellent movies can meet the audience instead of those popcorn movies."

"Of course, this is also the original intention of our independent film." Harvey hit the snake with the stick, and sang the moral high ground in a sanctimonious manner.

Old bald Ayton showed a satisfied smile.

Apparently, everyone is a person with a temperament of "standing at the same time", and everyone is striving for the development of the film industry.

"Mr. Ayton, I have prepared a private movie viewing party this Friday, and I will invite many like-minded friends."

Harvey smiled calmly and pushed over a party invitation. Seeing the old man's reserved expression, he added, "A lot of young people were invited to the party, and they are all girls who love movies very much."

"Oh~~~"

The old man showed an instant smile, and pressed his hands on the invitation letter without leaving a trace, "I will ask my assistant to remind me not to miss the movie viewing party organized by Harvey."

"I will warmly welcome, after all, this is a gathering among friends." Harvey said meaningfully.

"I'm also happy to meet more outstanding young directors like Director John." The old bald man said with a tacit understanding.

Wu Xiaozu sat in front of him, eating the turkey that tasted like plastic, smiling and shrugging.

This group of Jews really holds the right to speak in Hollywood.

Coming here, he didn't have the aura of a Hong Kong island tycoon... Wu Xiaozu is good at everything, but he can't pretend to be 13, and he is equal to hundreds of millions of people whether he has money or not.

What billionaires, billionaires drink peanuts.

At least it's better than the turkey in your mouth.

With the arrival of the awards season, the most notable change is that these film critics and various awards have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and everyone is running around for the awards.

For a week, Wu Xiaozu ate at least 17 meals of plastic-flavored turkey.

The old man in front of him is not only a famous film critic of the "Los Angeles Times", but also a senior member of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and quite influential in the screenwriting industry.

"Seven Sins" has just been nominated for the Los Angeles Film Critics Award and the New York Film Critics Association Award, which is due to the unremitting efforts during this period.

Many people habitually call the Golden Globes an outpost of the Oscars, but in fact the Golden Globes have nothing to do with Oscars at all.Its selection members are media from various countries, many of whom are not voters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

On the contrary, these trade union awards and professional awards during the awards season can reflect the wind vane of Oscars to a certain extent.Because most of the judges for these awards are members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, they are the ones who really have voting rights.

If an award-winning film wants to gain the approval of thousands of judges, the first thing is to let these people know about your film and get in touch with the information about your film.

Don't you really think that the judges involved in the [-] major categories and all walks of life will really have the time to read every entry?

Please, this simply cannot exist.

At this time, it is the superiority of publicity and popularity.

If your movie information frequently appears in front of these people, then there will naturally be impressions, which can increase the progress of public relations.

During this time, Wu Xiaozu not only frequently contacted various people to eat plastic-flavored turkey, but also spent money to mail movies and related supporting facilities to these judges.

At this time, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has not issued regulations prohibiting film companies from "bribing" members of the academy and excessive public relations.At the same time, there is no future limit on the value of the public relations package.

At this time, companies have not really realized the importance of public relations.

Harvey Weinstein is driving down the PR road waving his hands roughly.

Wu Xiaozu wanted to blend into it while watching from the sidelines.

He was happy to see Harvey rushing forward.

A Jew must have much less resistance here than a yellow man.No one believes that the Lighthouse Nation is truly equal and free.Don't even believe that the Jews are really as innocent and kind as they say.

He is an outsider.

Fortunately, he is a rich man.

After watching the other party leave, Wu Xiaozu turned his head to look at Harvey.

"I also made an appointment with a famous screenwriter in Philadelphia tonight." Harvey unbuttoned his shirt with a drunken expression on his face, "I made an appointment at a nightclub."

"Fortunately, I don't have to eat turkey anymore." Wu Xiaozu smiled and shook his head.

"No way, this is the safest way. I predict that "Seven Sins" can be nominated for the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award and the Screenwriters Guild Award. There are still 20 days to announce the list of Oscar primaries, and there is no doubt about the nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. Now we need to get nominations for the screenwriting category as soon as possible before the mail-in ballot deadline." Harvey said very seriously.

"No problem." Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the bodyguard Ah Wen suddenly ran over with a phone in his hand.

After taking the phone, Wu Xiaozu's expression changed.

　I really want to lose weight, I gained 20 catties compared to the beginning of the year...
