Chapter 730 The road to winning the award is not smooth
The Oscar review agency is actually very simple, it is a two-level review agency. The first level is the highest-level college chairman jury. Although the number of review agencies at this level is not large, they have a lot of say. The first vice chairman is the second in command of the review agency.
"Mr. Zhao, how did you hook up with this Leonardo?"
On the way to the Holihuo District, Missile Zhang couldn't help asking.
"Don't talk about hookups, it seems like I'm like him."
Zhao Gang gave a blank look at Zhang missile and said, "My aunt and he are old acquaintances. Before I came, I asked my aunt to say hello to him, so I will come to chat with him today."
"Your aunt? Is it...Sun Jiaying?" asked Missile Zhang.
"Um."
"With Miss Sun Jiaying coming forward, we should be sure of this Oscar."
Miss Zhang said with his eyes lit up, "Miss Sun Jiaying is a top-notch person in the entertainment industry all over the world. Even if she no longer sings and acts, her connections almost radiate to the entire entertainment industry all over the world. Mr. Zhao, if she could invite her to lobby for us, then it would be a foregone conclusion that we won the Oscar."
"It's so easy. In China, there will be no more than Feng Gang in the past few years." Zhao Gangliang shook his head and said, "Aunt Jiaying told me that the Oscars are a lobby, but the most important thing is that the quality of your film is acceptable. The quality of the film cannot be matched and cannot conform to their European and American values. It's useless to say hello to me. This is also the authority of the Oscars."
"This is absolutely."
Missile Zhang said, "The review of our trial broadcast is quite good now."
"Okay or not, it's not our final decision, nor are it those people who have the final decision. The key is that the people above have the final decision." Zhao Gangliang said.
"Yeah, I get it."
Soon, the group came outside Leonardo's villa.
Leonardo seemed to have known that Zhao Gang-ling was coming, so he was waiting at the door early.
This made Zhao Gangliang a little flattered. Although Leonardo is old now, he was a superstar when he was young, and his status in the film industry is not much different from that of his aunt Jiaying.
"Hello, Mr. Leonardo."
Zhao Gangliang hurriedly walked a few steps in front of Leonardo, and took the initiative to reach out and shake Leonardo's hand.
"Haha, hello, a young man from the East, I heard Sun say she has a son like you very early. It's so happy to see you today." Leonardo smiled and patted Zhao Gang's shoulder.
"This, I am not Aunt Jiaying's son." Zhao Gangliang said awkwardly.
"No, aren't you Zhao's son?" Leonardo asked.
"Yes."
"Isn't Sun Zhao's wife?" Leonardo asked.
"Too."
"Then aren't you Sun's son?"
"this…"
Zhao Gang-rye couldn't explain what a harem was for a while, so he was too lazy to explain. Anyway, Sun Jiaying treated herself like her biological son, so she would misunderstand it.
Under the leadership of Leonardo, the group walked into the villa.
Leonardo's villa is very large and can be ranked among the top three villas in the wealthy area.
As soon as he walked into the first floor lobby, Zhao Gang was shocked.
There are various trophies on the walls around the hall, including Oscars and Berlin Film Awards. There are probably 40 or 50 in total.
Of course, what shocked Zhao Gang the most was that one of the Oscars was actually taken by a child sitting on the ground and smashed something in his hand...
It seems like it's smashing walnuts.
"Oh, dear Claire, be careful, don't smash your hands, or you'll have to cry again." Leonardo said with a smile.
"Dad, help me open it." The child said.
Leonardo walked to the child, picked up the trophy, and then smashed it hard on the walnuts, smashing them open.
The child saw it and applauded excitedly.
"My God, Mr. Leonardo, that's an Oscar trophy." Missile Zhang said in disbelief, "How can you use him to smash walnuts."
"This kind of thing has no other use except taking up space. It's very useful to smash walnuts."
Leonardo handed the little golden man to the child, then walked to a wine counter and said, "You guys drink something."
"Whiskey." Zhao Gang-ling said.
"Me too."
Lin Feng'er also said.
Missile Zhang didn't say anything, he was still a little overwhelmed.
The most precious treasure in the eyes of actors in the world, the Oscar Little Golden Man, was actually used by Leonardo to smash walnuts on his son. Oh my god, is this crazy?
"Sometimes, something you think is very important is in the eyes of others, even a smile from the person he cares about."
Zhao Gang slapped Zhang of the missile on the shoulder and said softly.
Missile Zhang shivered for a moment, then looked at Zhao Gangling and said gratefully, "Brother Gangling... I understand."
Zhao Gang smiled and sat on the sofa.
Leonardo walked over with the bottle, then poured a glass of wine for Zhao Gangliang and others.
"On behalf of the American film industry, I welcome you."
Leonardo smiled and clinked glasses with Zhao Gang, then took a sip of wine.
Zhao Gangliang also smiled and took a sip.
"Gangliu, Sun and I are old friends, so I will tell you something directly."
After drinking, Leonardo said to Zhao Gang-ling, "If your movie is not unexpected, the greatest possibility is to win the Best Foreign Language Film Award."
"Best Foreign Language Film." Zhao Gang raised his eyebrows and said, "This is the award."
"Yes, of course, this is just my rough guess. You should know that we have several very outstanding movies this year. The new movie that Pete starred in has a good reputation. And he has Paramount behind him, which is a big company. They have already started preparing for it half a year ago. Now they have received a total of 12 nominations, which are close to the historical record. These 12 nominations include Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Actress, etc. The movie you brought has only received 4 nominations, namely Best Director, Best Actress, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Music. Although I really think your movie is good after watching it, you know what the theme of the Oscar is."
"have no idea."
Zhao Gangqing shook his head honestly. To be honest, he really had no idea about Oscars, he only knew Little Golden Man and the enchanting female stars on the red carpet.
"The theme of the Oscar is nostalgia, and most of the themes need to emphasize traditional family values, so this is destined to be a safe, mainstream, and non-controversial movie. Your movie theme is fantasy, and it is an Eastern fantasy with a different meaning from Western values. It is very difficult to win the votes for the judges." Leonardo said with a serious face.
