Chapter 403 Public Relations Strategy
Sheena Boone then looked in the phone book and made the next call.

The phone book not only contains the names of the contacts, but also their preferences, taboos, etc. It can be said that the investigation is quite detailed.

Young Gilbert doesn't know much about Oscar public relations, but he has people who do, so he can just leave these things to professionals.

Sheena Boone made a round of calls and finally finished.

Little Gilbert handed her a glass of water, and Sheena Boone gulped it all down in one gulp, then took a breath and stretched.

"The communication was very effective, and they all agreed to support you," reported Sheena Boone.

Little Gilbert nodded and said to Sheena Boone, "Thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry for all the trouble you've put in during this period of time."

"It's not hard, this is what I should do." Sheena Boone took a break and continued, "These influential judges can motivate the judges around them to vote for us.

But I'm afraid you'll need to contact the Italian and Jewish judges in person."

"I've already contacted them a long time ago," Gilbert Jr. gave a reassuring look, "I've already spoken to Director Coppola and Director Spielberg over the phone, and they both support me."

Director Coppola's daughter Sofia still works at Gilbert Jr.'s Melon Studio and recently took Scarlett to film "Lost in Translation".

For the sake of his daughter and the continued influence of the Italian gang in Hollywood, Director Coppola will also support Gilbert Jr.

Needless to say, Spielberg was the real mentor of Gilbert Jr. Without his help, Gilbert Jr. would never have been able to gain a foothold so quickly.

As they grew older, the Jewish forces in Hollywood urgently needed a new person to lead Hollywood, and that person was Gilbert Jr., so Spielberg would definitely support Gilbert Jr.

Although Martin Scorsese also called Spielberg, hoping that he would support him.

But Spielberg can only say sorry. He really has to support little Gilbert this year, otherwise it would be inappropriate both morally and logically.

These two great directors will give a greeting to their respective circles, and the judges with voting rights will naturally vote for little Gilbert.

There are more than 6,000 Oscar judges, and it is impossible to bribe them all.

But these more than 6,000 judges are basically divided into several major circles. If you can bribe or communicate well with the big guys in the circle, your hope of winning will be greatly increased.

PR expert Marco Wald suggested: "In addition to the work of the judges, the media also needs to make efforts. I suggest that the media start to publicize these achievements you have made."

Gilbert Jr. adopted this suggestion, and the media owned by Disney and Time Warner, those media that had a good relationship with Gilbert Jr. or that were controlled by Gilbert Jr. overtly or covertly, began to make efforts.

"Looking through the history of Hollywood, it's hard to find a director as talented as Gilbert Jr. This is a gift from God to Hollywood." - The Hollywood Reporter.

"It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that Gilbert Jr. is a key figure in Hollywood's globalization, but without Gilbert Jr.'s films, Hollywood's globalization strategy would not have been so smoothly implemented." - Variety magazine.

"In the more than 11 years since he entered the industry, Gilbert has contributed to many wonderful films, including Saving Private Ryan, The Matrix, Chicago, and the Lord of the Rings series.

He has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director many times and won the award once. His films have revolutionized Hollywood and are the object of imitation. His contribution to the film industry is indelible." - Los Angeles Business Journal

Every awards season, the media is always bustling.

Gilbert Jr. also stayed in Los Angeles for a while longer, attending some events and parties, networking with the judges and becoming familiar with them.

This is a job that must be done. After all, if you want to win an award, you can't be arrogant.

Oscar himself is very proud, but he never likes people who are superior to him. Oscar will be very angry if you try to win an award in this way.

However, this year's "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" does have a feeling of being unstoppable. After all, it is the accumulation of the first two works. If the third Oscar does not give an award, the outside world will definitely be furious.

After completing these key public relations tasks, Gilbert Jr. returned to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew and completed the finishing work of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Next, Gilbert Jr. will be busy with two tasks. One is to continue the public relations for the Oscars, and the other is the post-production work of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The first trailer of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been edited and will be played at halftime of the Super Bowl. However, due to his busy Oscar and post-production work, Gilbert Jr. will not be able to go to the Super Bowl to experience the charm of the Super Bowl.

There was nothing to regret, since he couldn't understand the content of the game except for the halftime show.

For the soundtrack of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Gilbert Jr. once again collaborated with his old acquaintance Hans Zimmer.

Today, Hans Zimmer has become a gold medal composer in Hollywood. He has also established his own studio and his business is very good.

The soundtrack he composed for "Pirates of the Caribbean" is very similar to his previous life, especially the song "He's a Pirate".

After hearing this song, little Gilbert could only say that the familiar feeling returned.

Hans Zimmer saw that Gilbert had finished listening to the soundtrack and quickly asked, "How is the effect?"

Little Gilbert expressed his satisfaction: "Very good, when I heard this song, I already thought of the scene of Captain Jack's appearance, your soundtrack is very vivid."

"That's great," Hans Zimmer was relieved, as long as little Gilbert was satisfied.

Although he is one of the best soundtrack masters in Hollywood, Gilbert Jr. is the top director in Hollywood. It is not every day that you have the opportunity to work with such a director.

Therefore, Hans Zimmer attaches great importance to this opportunity for cooperation.

In addition to the soundtrack, Gilbert Jr. is also focusing on the special effects production at Orange Studios, which is now almost completed.

After working on many films, Orange Studios has now become one of Hollywood's top special effects producers, and can even compete with Digital Domain and Industrial Light & Magic.

But in fact, since its establishment a few years ago, Orange Special Effects Studio has not been able to make a profit.

The reason is simple, because the special effects industry is progressing with the development of the times. In recent years, with the development of computer hardware, the development of the special effects industry has entered a high-speed stage.

Innovating and developing new technologies costs money.

Therefore, Gilbert Jr. has been increasing the investment in technology research and development of the special effects studio, and a large amount of funds and talents have been gathered in Orange Studio.

At the same time, Orange Studio has also reached a cooperation with hardware companies to jointly develop new hardware.

For example, NVIDIA, the GPU invented by the company is very helpful for computer graphics computing. Orange Studio has reached a direct cooperation with NVIDIA.

At this time, NVIDIA was a unicorn company in the IT industry, but it was not very large.

Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang once rejected investments from people including Gilbert Jr. and Bill Gates and independently developed and operated the company.

But the bursting of a bubble in the Internet industry also affected Nvidia, which is mainly in the hardware industry.

Recently, Huang Renxun has been looking for new business expansion directions and developing the next generation of GPUs, so he continued to raise funds and accepted a $4.5 million investment from Apple, making Apple one of Nvidia's shareholders.

David made a detailed report on this investment, and Gilbert Jr. was not involved.

But it's good to get it. I don't have to worry about the graphics card problem when playing games in the future. After all, he is a shareholder, so it shouldn't be a problem to get a graphics card, right?

However, Gilbert Jr. had long thought about the function of GPU to help with special effects production.

He had previously told the head of Orange Studio that he should pay attention to the development of the hardware industry, as there might be some new technology that could help the special effects industry continue to progress.

One day, the images produced by special effects will become better and better, and more and more realistic.

But so far, the quality of real-life shooting is still beyond the reach of special effects production.
