Chapter 339 Taipu believes it, brother

Several major portal websites have opened special topics and are preparing to report in real time.

The rights to broadcast the video were also bought by Tongxun. Many fans of Gu Zhongyu sat in front of the computer, preparing to watch their idol conquer the old beauty!

Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!

It’s okay if he doesn’t win the Best Director award. After all, the competition is too fierce and Chen Sicheng is too young. Moreover, many knowledgeable people know from the bottom of their hearts that the nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director this time probably has the blessing of race.

There is no Best Picture either, which is very depressing!

Fortunately, Sharize won the title of Best Actress, which was enough to comfort everyone. It was a victory if she didn't just leave empty-handed.

Ten years later, Shalizi once again won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. She was so excited that words could not express her excitement. After walking off the stage, she actually kissed Gu Zhongyu in front of many reporters!

Fortunately, these sisters reacted quickly enough. After coming back to their senses, they immediately kissed Alexandra again, which finally relieved the embarrassment, otherwise those newspapers would have written nonsense again.

Everyone had already been mentally prepared for the failure at the Golden Globe Awards. Only Chen Sicheng, the director, kept sighing, feeling more uncomfortable than his girlfriend Yaya neglecting him for so long!

When the dinner is over... Yes, the Golden Globe Awards is in the form of a dinner. The space is very small, filled with dozens of round tables, and even the aisles are very narrow. The recipients have to walk sideways if they want to go on stage to receive the award. Pass between the round tables.

The stage in front was even more plain, not as grand as the annual meetings of some companies in our country. He couldn't understand why the United States became so stingy on such occasions.

There was even food on the round table, the kind that could actually be eaten!

After leaving the Hilton Hotel, domestic reporters gathered around and asked Gu Zhongyu relevant questions, probably asking him how he felt about losing the first Golden Globe Award.

Gu Zhongyu was very honest and said directly that this was what he expected. As for the Oscar nominations in half a month, he also cautiously said that there would be nothing to do.

When the news came back to China, most people felt it was a pity. Of course, some people laughed at it, saying that they were overestimating their capabilities and that they would definitely miss out on the Oscars!

But this time the slap in the face came quickly.

On January 2014, 1, the 11th Oscar nominations were announced. "The Invisible Guest" received a total of five nominations. In addition to the Actress Award, there were also Makeup Awards, Best Editing Awards, and more importantly, it won the Best Picture Award. Nominated for Best Original Screenplay!

This is quite unexpected by Gu Zhongyu. With five nominations, it seems that there is still something to be done!

……

After the Oscar nominations were announced, the major studios knew that their opponents this year also had major public relations goals!

For example, it's Leonardo DiCaprio.

DiCaprio has always been the best actor candidate in the audience's mind, but he keeps running with him!

The biggest highlight of this year's Oscars is whether Leonardo DiCaprio can realize his Oscar dream in twenty years!

This buddy has been accompanying him since he was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1993. In fact, at the beginning of this year's awards season, DiCaprio's hopes were not very high because his performance in "The Wolf of Wall Street" was a bit unrestrained. It's too exaggerated, and the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" is too exaggerated. Many people don't like this movie, and even say it misinterprets the American dream of imperialism.

Especially conservatives think that such a movie should not be selected for Best Picture at all!

But DiCaprio did not give up. He worked very hard on various programs to talk about and promote "The Wolf of Wall Street" and personally came forward to explain the relevant controversies.

These actions made his call for winning the award skyrocketing. When the Oscars were approaching, many media including Entertainment Weekly regarded him as the first person to challenge the competition for the best actor throne.

Even he himself thought so and continued to step up his public relations efforts.

The so-called public relations, to put it bluntly, means spending money to buy awards. According to our Chinese language, this is called bribery and accepting bribes, but in the United States, it is called reasonable public relations!

The common strategies of public relations are nothing more than two aspects: promoting yourself and belittling your opponents.

First of all, intensive publicity building, starting from the awards season, in order to increase exposure, the studio is eager to squeeze out every minute of the film's creative team. Directors and leading actors are busy during the awards season, rushing to attend various media activities arranged by the studio.

At the beginning of the awards season, various Hollywood studios will launch a batch of "for your reference" posters to strengthen the audience's impression by carefully selecting corresponding media praise for possible nominations of their works.

To put it bluntly, this is the print media version of “seeking attention.”

In order to promote themselves, some studios do not hesitate to take some excessive actions, and the results often cause controversy.

For example, this year's "The Ballad of Drunkenness" was given a full page in the New York Times, touting itself as "the best movie of the year";

A "For Your Information" poster for "12 Years a Slave" printed "It's About Time" was also considered to kidnap the moral sense of the judges to some extent.

At the same time, "The Invisible Guest" is an intriguing multi-movie handover to movies, movies that let politics go!

A few years later, they would definitely not dare to use such slogans for promotion. After all, the Oscars at that time had completely become a stage for political expression!

There are also actions that directly target Academy members with voting rights, such as filling the judges' mailboxes with relevant graphic materials introducing the works, and even plastering movie posters in the judges' daily activities!

The above can only be regarded as the most common public relations strategies, and basically every studio does this.

In addition, they also need to discredit their opponents, which is black public relations!

"The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Blue Jasmine" are two movies that can almost say goodbye to Oscars. The former is because of the content, and the latter is because of the director's character.

It must be a smear campaign from other studios!

"12 Years a Slave" has become the public enemy of all other films that have a chance to be nominated, because it is so strong that it almost leads the awards season!

Its production company, Fox Searchlight, has always had a good eye for selecting scripts, and has successfully selected "Slumdog Millionaire," "Little Miss Sunshine," "Black Swan" and "Juno" including this year's "12 Years a Slave."

This is so frustrating!

Why are you so awesome?

As a result, a series of reports appeared in newspapers and on the Internet.

"Incomparably politically correct racial films are full of accusations and simplifications, and I especially don't like to show violent scenes directly. This is disrespectful and even insulting to the audience..."

"The reason why bad movies are full of violence is because the director is incapable of expressing strong emotions in a simple and restrained way. If such a movie can win the best director and best picture, the judges will be blind!"

"A typical main theme movie. It is particularly good in visual impact and emotional experience. It is much better than the second-rate The White House Butler, but it lacks personality overall. It is more like a movie customized for the awards season than the director's personal experience. work."

Similar comments and tones flooded the Internet after the Golden Globes.

In particular, his director, Steve McQueen, is a black man and publicly declared that if Ao Guanhai had been born in the American Empire a hundred years ago, his situation would have been like that of Solomon Northup!

Originally, such remarks could definitely add points to the film, but it's a pity that O'Hei is too busy during this period, busy with medical reform and legalization of homosexuality, and he has no time to pay attention to 12 Years a Slave.

Steve McQueen's words were very ineffective and he was criticized for kidnapping Oscar!

On the other hand, Gu Zhongyu and Frank followed the prize-winning strategy they had formulated before, working steadily and step by step, and never missed the mark.

In the interview, he also said that he would accept the judges’ recognition!

With the three major labor union awards in hand, Gu Zhongyu feels that this year's Oscar for Best Picture can still be a bit suspenseful!

The news that "The Invisible Guest" received five Oscar nominations completely detonated the entire Chinese entertainment industry! After the Oscar nominations were announced, the names of Gu Zhongyu, Chen Sicheng and others appeared frequently in the newspapers. A lot of portals wanted to interview them exclusively, but it was a pity that there was no chance because Yang Ma was also here!

Yang Ma originally considered doing a special report on the TV series at seven o'clock every day, but then she thought about it and gave it up. After all, she didn't win.

Chaowen Tianxia reported to Gu Zhongyu again, and this time it was live connection!

Gu Zhongyu's father, Gu Tiejun, was also watching TV at home at this time. Even if he had retired for many years, he felt that he should always keep abreast of news and public opinion trends.

Originally there was no real news hot spot, but the host Li Wenjing followed the formal procedure and reported that the Chinese Academy of Sciences released the 2014 China Economic Forecast Report: GDP growth rate was low at first and then high and prices were rising moderately!

Then, the situation suddenly changed: On the 11th local time, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominees and cast and crew of the 9th Academy Awards at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Los Angeles. List. Although the Hong Kong film "The Grandmaster", which was previously included in the list of nine candidates for the best foreign language film, was eventually eliminated, it was still nominated for best photography and best costume design. "Invisible", produced by Gu Zhongyu and directed by Chen Sicheng "The Guest" received five nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress, Recent Editing, and Best Screenplay. Judging from the nominations, it was second only to "Gravity" and "American Hustle" which received ten nominations. , let’s connect with the main creative staff of the crew live to talk about his feelings about this nomination. "

Then, the TV screen suddenly switched to two parts, and an image of a telephone appeared on the right, beeping for a few seconds, and then connected.

Gu Tiejun felt a little complicated when he watched his son chatting with reporters on TV.

He has never wanted his son to enter the entertainment industry. Even if he compromised later, he was forced to do so because he did not want to estrange the relationship with his younger son. But now that he has achieved such results, his film works have repeatedly won awards abroad and brought honor to the people of the country. Finally, it is In my heart, I recognized a certain amount of my son's career.

……

Yang Ma's two consecutive reports completely spread Gu Zhongyu's popularity, and many middle-aged and elderly people who did not know her began to talk about him.

In fact, after 2010, entertainment industry news has completely overshadowed most real-time reports.

Probably because we don’t have much to report. Although there are a lot of miscellaneous things going on all over the country at any time, not many people care at all. Due to certain factors, we can’t talk about national affairs, so let’s talk about the entertainment industry!

As a result, the private affairs of many celebrities have become a hot topic of national concern.

Starting from Wang Fei, Xie Tingfeng, Li Yapeng, then Wen Zhang, Ma Yili, Yao Di, and then to the cheating team and the drug-absorbing team, everyone is talking about it!

Especially since 2014, celebrities have been exposed every now and then for taking drugs or cheating, and almost every one of them has become the focus of public opinion.

Although Gu Zhongyu, who is far away in the United States, knows that his popularity and exposure will definitely increase during this period, especially his high profile, it will also increase accordingly.

But he didn't expect that when he got off the plane, the reporters who greeted him would actually crowd the entire exit of Yanjing International Airport. There must have been hundreds of people from the central media, online media and fans picking him up!

It was the Spring Festival that was about to come, and there were so many people rushing to the motherland from North America. Coupled with a bunch of reporters, the entire exit was crowded into a pot of porridge, making it difficult to move at all.

"Stop squeezing and let other passengers go out first!"

Gu Zhongyu shouted loudly, wondering if he could restore order to the scene first.

Haha, no one cares about him at all.

However, a bunch of foreign tourists were scolding him, saying that he wasted other people's time.

Gu Zhongyu was unjustly accused and wanted to die. You said it was none of his business to say that the blockage was like this. It was not a reporter he recruited on his own initiative.

This time, these reporters were not going to let him go easily. Even though Gu Zhongyu answered several questions in succession, the reporters still surrounded him.

I had no choice but to let Dudu sneak out to find the airport security, who led them away safely from the VIP channel. When they walked outside, they saw Jiang Shuying and Bai Bin, two secretaries who had been waiting outside for a long time.

Gu Zhongyu climbed into the back seat of the car with lingering fears, "Are these reporters crazy?"

"Who makes you so popular now!" Jiang Shuying said with a smile, seeing that Gu Zhongyu was sweating a lot, and reached out to help him take off his heavy coat.

"I mean, if they block the airport like this, aren't they afraid of being beaten to death by grumpy passengers?"

"Haha, even if I am beaten to death, it will definitely be counted on you when the time comes!"

Chen Sicheng was very excited. He had never been so popular since his debut. Excited, he picked up his cell phone and called his girlfriend Yaya, hoping to share the joy of success with her.

But after getting through, Yaya didn't seem very happy. She just said a few words of congratulations and then hung up, which made him very depressed.

But he has obviously apologized several times and has not gone out to flirt with women during this period of time. Why has Yaya, who has always been good-tempered, maintained a cold war with him for so long this time?

"Mr. Gu, can you help me with the details?"

He remembered that Gu Zhongyu was also a well-known love saint in the circle and had rich experience. He might ask him what he could gain, so he briefly told Yaya and his current situation.

This stumped Gu Zhongyu!

Unfortunately, he couldn't just pat Chen Sicheng on the shoulder and tell him, brother, it was actually me who cheated on you. Yaya is no longer interested in you, so she should give up her calculations as soon as possible!

But to be honest, even if Gu Zhongyu told the truth, Chen Sicheng couldn't do anything to him.

His current fame and achievements were all brought to him by Gu Zhongyu's movie, and he also signed a contract of sale. Chen Sicheng couldn't bear the nine-digit liquidated damages. Even if he wanted to change jobs, no one would be willing to spend so much. Money comes to poach him.

Of course, Gu Zhongyu will definitely not be so heartless. He wants Chen Sicheng to slowly accept the fact that Yaya left him and break up peacefully, so that everyone can be decent.

"Well...have you ever thought that maybe Yaya has a new love?"

"Impossible! Yaya can't live without me at all..." When he said this, Chen Sicheng shook his greasy hair very coolly, showing everyone how handsome he was.

"puff!"

Chen Duling tried his best to cover his mouth to prevent himself from laughing out loud, while Jiang Shuying and Bai Bin also rolled their eyes and tried to respect Director Chen.

Too popular, brother!

I don’t even dare to say that a woman can’t live without me!

Once a woman changes her mind, unlike her male compatriots who like to be separated, even eight big horses can't pull her back!

It seems that it will take time for Chen Sicheng to recognize the reality!
