beauties please stay

"Difficult, but not impossible, right?"

Zhao Gangjun said, "Didn't director Feng Gang also win a lot of Oscars?"

"That's because Director Feng Gang is a genius."

Leonardo smiled, and some mischievousness unique to Westerners flashed in his eyes, "If you have watched a movie directed by Feng Gang, you will find that he is indeed a genius...By the way, do you smoke cigars? "

"Cigars? Occasionally."

Zhao Gangjun said.

Leonardo went to the side drawer, took out a small box, opened the box, took out a cigar and threw it to Zhao Gangjun, saying, "The best Cuban cigars are exclusively for the Castro family. Last time Sun gave it to me. of."

Zhao Gangjun took the cigar, and followed Leonardo's example to light it.

In fact, he didn't smoke this stuff, because it smelled very strange. However, it was obvious that cigarettes were a sharp weapon to bring the two men closer, so Zhao Gangjun naturally lit one.

"You don't get all the Oscars because you do a good job, do you know?" Leonardo said, exhaling a smoke ring.

"know a little."

Zhao Gangjun nodded.

"The films that can be nominated for Oscars have achieved the ultimate in a certain aspect, such as the nomination for the best actor, the acting skills of all the actors have been perfect, there is no flaw at all, and at this time, how to decide the best actor? What about the protagonist? This has to start with the movie. There was a movie many years ago. I don’t know if you know it. It’s called "Lord of the Rings". It is the most popular, but it lost to "A Beautiful Mind" in the end, do you know why? It is because of what I said earlier, the movies selected by Oscar must have the value that is widely accepted." Leonardo said this, paused After a moment, he said, "In this year's Oscars, several movies are mainstream movies, and they are very safe. Compared with "Zhan the Dragon", which is not so mainstream and safe, the possibility of them getting review votes is much higher. Higher. So, if you want to lobby next, you can try your best to solicit votes for the best foreign language film award. If you fight for this award with all your strength, the success rate will be very high. By the way, you have a very strong one this time. opponent, in the award for Best Foreign Language Film!"

"My Fox Fairy Wife 2?" Zhao Gangjun asked.

"Well, they are already vying for this award with all their strength. According to the information I have received, they have already won the trust of many people. Moreover, the company to which this movie belongs still has a lot of energy in the United States." Leon Nadeau said.

"What if we want to grab other awards?" Zhao Gangjun asked.

"It can only have one outcome."

Leonardo said, "Your votes will be dispersed, assuming you can get the favor of 0 judges, then if you only compete for one best foreign language film, you may be able to get all the votes of these judges, and if you compete For other awards, these votes will inevitably be scattered, which is not a good thing for you."

"That's why lobbying is needed, isn't it?"

Zhao Gangjun stood up with a smile, and said, "Mr. Leonardo, I came all the way from China, not just for a reward like the best foreign language film. I have ambitions. Our films, we Directors and actors all have ambitions, and we hope to fight hard for every award, so that even if we may not get anything in the end, we will not have any regrets."

Leonardo stared at Zhao Gangjun for about ten seconds, then suddenly laughed, and said, "I seem to see your father more than ten years ago, hahaha, although I appreciate your attitude, but I Something not very good has to tell you that you have a bigger problem besides your movie not being Oscar-worthy."

"Oh?" Zhao Gangjun looked at Leonardo.

"The chairman of the bureau this time is Thomson. That guy doesn't really like Chinese movies." Leonardo said, blinking at Zhao Gangjun.

"Thomson?"

Zhao Gangjun frowned and said, "It doesn't seem to matter much if he doesn't like it, right? As long as the judges like it, that's fine."

"You don't understand that."

Leonardo said, "As the chairman of the presidium, Thomson has a lot of power in his hands, and he also has a wide range of contacts. His attitude can largely determine the final ownership of the general. So, if you can persuade Thomson, there's a one per cent chance you'll be competing for other prizes, but, as far as I know, Thomson's a bigot and he's not going to be persuaded so easily."

"Mr. Leonardo, we believe that if we can get your help, our success rate should increase a lot." Zhao Gangjun said.

Leonardo was obviously very comfortable being flattered by Zhao Gangjun, he said with a smile, "Hahaha, in terms of connections, Thomson and I are actually similar, but it's useless for you to flatter me, because he The authority is greater than mine, but I guarantee that if you can persuade Thomson, I will attend some of your activities with Thomson."

Zhao Gangjun's eyes lit up, and he said, "To attend together?"

"of course."

"Mr. Leonardo, I believe that it won't be long before you, I, and Mr. Thomson will have a drink together."

After Zhao Gangjun finished speaking, he raised the wine glass in his hand.

Leonardo smiled and clinked glasses with Zhao Gangjun, and then drank it down.

In order to welcome Zhao Gangjun as a guest, Leonardo also cooked a special lunch for Zhao Gangjun and the others. During the meal, Leonardo also called a few friends who were also in the wealthy district over.

After chatting for a day, Zhao Gangjun learned that these people who came here were also members of the jury.

Zhao Gangjun is naturally grateful to Leonardo, but Leonardo doesn't seem to care about anything, and he doesn't care about Zhao Gangjun's hints of some benefits, whether explicit or covert.

Zhao Gangjun and others left Leonardo's house in the evening, Leonardo sent them to the door, watched them leave before returning to his home.

"Go check Thomson's information immediately."

Zhao Gangjun sat in the car and said, "Use all the methods you can, Zhang Missile, if you can get Thomson down, we might really be able to fight for a few prizes back."

"Well, I'll check it right now!" Zhang Missile said excitedly.

The group returned to the hotel. In the evening, Zhao Gangjun held a banquet in a five-star hotel two blocks from the Roosevelt Hotel, and invited some members of the jury. Because of the work done in the early stage, Zhao Gangjun was confident. There should be quite a few people coming, but in the end it was discovered that there were only more than 40 people, which was nearly half of what Gao Dasong and the others had come.
