Snap-

On the typical spotless off-white sofa in the Halkin Hotel suite, Wu Xiaozu shook the stick match on his wrist.

Compared with the Victorian hotels everywhere in London, the Baroque luxury hotels, Halkin's simplified neoclassical low-adjustment and clean style is more in line with Wu Xiaozu's aesthetic, simple and quiet.

"The internal selection of "Visual and Audio" is very stereotyped, but I have arranged for British critics who also work in the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences to recommend "Pulp Novel" to more people."

Harvey Weinstein, who was flushed with alcohol, poured two cups of coffee with a coffee pot, picked up a few pieces of sugar and threw them into the cup, and stirred them rudely with a spoon.

"You are the right choice to come to London, and many British film workers are also judges of the Oscars.

There is still some time before the nomination of mail-in ballots. I hope you can attend more meetings I held, where many of them are judges.

You know, in the nomination stage, a single transferable ticket system requires us to get enough weights to get enough points. But the award stage is a winner-takes-all system and a sorting check system unique to the best video.

90% of Oscar members are white, 70% or even more male, at least half of them are over 60 years old, and perhaps more may be.

In short, a group of old and white men control the Oscars. So here we won't discuss the best film because those old white men won't vote for you and your "Pulp Novel".

Our goal is other awards.

For example, the best original script and the best editing. These are our goals. But more importantly, we must first get nominations, especially the best film and the best director."

Harvey took a sip of coffee.

"I have communicated with Cage, and his agent will support him in running for the best actor. However, the probability of his winnings this year is lower than that of the Soviets' restoration. I think I probably want to continue to be familiar with each other and increase my qualifications.

But that's exactly what I'm going to say-"

Harvey looked at Wu Xiaozu, trying to see something from the other person's face, but unfortunately, Wu Xiaozu still kept smiling.

"Okay, man.

You should understand that the Oscar is a Hollywood game, and we all have to abide by the rules of the game.

Of course, it is also a good choice if you can use the rules.

In this game.

You nominate the best director, and the best film will also increase your qualifications and increase your exposure in front of those old men.

Don't expect these guys to pay attention to you... IMHO, they may not watch more movies every year than my grandmother... even though she has Alzheimer's disease.

The Oscar has never been an international film festival, it is just a local awards ceremony, and its focus has never been taken care of overseas.

So, Wu, you are undoubtedly a newcomer in their eyes, and a stranger who has no teacher relationship.”

"Although what you said is as vulgar as ever, I agree with your judgment this time." Wu Xiaozu smiled and raised his coffee cup to express his affirmation.

In the early 1990s, there was no chance to pull out "Parasite".

The social environment is different.

Not to mention winning six awards, you may not even win the Best Foreign Language Film.

If you want to say how profound this movie is, it may not be that in the same year, another Goryeo movie also focused on social issues, and even more profound than it, "Burning", was not even a foreign language film.

It can be seen that the depth of the film theme is actually not the main standard of the Oscars.

The "public relations expenses" invested by Parasite for Oscars are close to the cost of film production, and the PR cycle lasted for 8 months. Before that, the personnel sent by Goryeo in Hollywood had been deeply rooted in Hollywood.

Director Bong Joon-ho once said, ‘This PR game is like a wandering theater troupe that performs on a caravan, and it goes to several places to hold events a day.’

The most ridiculous point is that the movie "Parasite" satirizes the social problems and universal values ​​related to the gap between the rich and the poor. However, the film's success at Oscars is inseparable from the capital of CJ, a local chaebol of Goryeo and the support of the relationship network.

This operation is so fucking...

The movie is really changed, but the chaebols are really not changed.

The way to govern the country in movies is still tried and tested... it is not good.

"I just think you are praising me." Harvey Weinstein shrugged indifferently.

"At least, people who are paying attention to movies across the United States have more or less known that there is a black humorous movie called "Pulp Novel".

This movie is highly praised by many critics!

This absurd and true character and story full of black humor, as well as a scene with great drama contrast, made them scold Mom and Farke while worshiping him.”

"I doubt they understood it." Wu Xiaozu said with a smile.

In the past life, this movie suddenly launched a revolution in independent films. In that magical year, its charm could not be concealed.

In this life, Wu Xiaozu two or three years in advance, and I believe the influence will be greater!

Many people later believed that the Oscars of that year, "Shawshank Redemption" was the opponent of "Forrest Gump", but it was not...

It has always been a runner-up, and it is not even qualified to compete in bayonets on the stage.

From beginning to end, the biggest opponent of Forrest Gump is Pulp Novel.

certainly.

It is normal for Mother Fuck to lose to the main theme. After all, Oscars have always been praised as the "American Little Golden Rooster" (dog head).

"To be honest, the Berlin Film Festival has little impact on the Oscars."

Harvey held the cigar and slowly spit out the thick fog like Wu Xiaozu. At the same time, he put his legs on the coffee table with great scattering.

He thought this was cool.

It was so good that after enjoying the juicy "Puxi" like an apple pie, she let the white girl or the Mexican girl fall under her feet in tears.

This is definitely more in line with the American spirit than the godfather sitting on the single sofa with a floor lamp swaying.

"It's not even as good as the New York Film Critics Association Awards, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, which you've already won, on the Oscars."

"Pulp Fiction" has spent more than $3 million on publicity during awards season.

This money has made it successful and attracted the attention of countless people.

At the New York Film Critics Association Award, "Pulp Novel" successfully won two awards: Best Director and Best Screenplay. Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress both lost to the biggest hit "The Silence of the Lambs".

At the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, "Pulp Novel" only won the best script. However, "The Silence of the Lambs" also did not gain any benefits, and "The Love of the Generation" became a big winner.

By the way, there is also the Golden Globe Award.

"Pulp Novel" was also nominated, but in the end it was only the Best Screenwriter Award.

no way.

This is reality.

Even though this movie has far surpassed many award-winning works in later generations, at this time, driven by inertia, "Pulp Novel" has not yet truly demonstrated its power.

Its real energy will not be revealed until it is released. Its entertainment will make movie fans fascinated.

"It's always bad that the three major film festivals in Europe don't take too much care of the Berlin Film Festival." Wu Xiaozu smiled and joked.

Before this, he participated in a Berlin Film Festival, just for the promotion of the film.

This time I came here, I was actually a bit ambitious.

After all, I have already had a double Palme d'Or in Cannes, and I have successfully won the championship in Venice.

Only Berlin has not yet been involved in...

The Chinese movie standard bearer is not at ease!

Xiao Mouzi and the others chased Wu Xiaozu very tightly!

In addition, those Wanwan people are also chasing them relentlessly, and the lame king is even more tempering his leg craftsman...

He is the first Chinese person to be unstable!

What if something like "rain talks about movies" appears in the future and you will be able to talk about it with this, that's not bad?

If you don’t work hard when you are young, you will only be sad when you are old.

If you don’t work hard in middle age, you will be beaten by someone when you are old.

If you don’t work hard in your old age, no one will brag after you die.

Now you win more awards and later evaluate your historical status, although you dare not compare with the top ten gods, after all, they are all figures who have made indelible contributions to the movies, but at least you must chase Ozu and Mizuguchi's international status...

Forget it, Kurosawa Akira.

It’s not that his status is higher than the two above. Even over time, Ozu’s “Talk of Tokyo” has clearly surpassed Kurosawa’s works.

The most important thing is that the director's works are all very popular but not popular.

The box office in China has been very high...

In comparison, Wu Xiaozu still cares about his own nation’s love for his own movies... He cannot make a random bloom for his reputation.

"I hope this Berlin Film Festival will be as you wish." Harvey Weinstein once again took the initiative to help fill the coffee.

"I don't like the cold Berlin Film Festival. In comparison, I look forward to the sunshine and the beach. There is no doubt that this is definitely the coldest film festival in the world. I hate its temperament. Fortunately, the behemoth collapsed."

Harvey Weinstein explored his own thoughts.
