Chapter 652 Invitation

"Brother Xiaolong, are you familiar with this place?"

"It's my first time here too, but I saw someone I know."

Then Li Xiaolong left Han Yi alone, and went to chat with the beauty, who seemed to be an old friend.

Han Yi is not a lively person either, and in the end he just eats by himself and speaks casually when anyone comes over.

Han Yi really doesn't like this kind of thing, but this kind of thing is necessary.

"Hello, Han." When Han Yi was bored alone, someone appeared in front of Han Yi, which surprised Han Yi.

Because this person is the director of "Love" Michael Haneke, the director of the film that is most likely to block Han Yi from winning the best foreign language film this time.

"Hello, your "Love" is wonderful."

"Thank you, your movie is also very good."

Han Yi ranks this film as his rival, but so is Michael Haneke.

People are actually so interesting. In Han Yi's view, "Love" has won many international awards, and even won the Golden Globe Award. This seems to be its advantage.

But this advantage in Han Yi's eyes has become a disadvantage in Michael Haneke's eyes.

That's right, this is the case in the eyes of Michael Haneke, because he believes that the Golden Globe Awards, which have almost no intersection with the Oscar judges, are just a vane for self-proclaimed Oscars.

No one can say for sure, sometimes it is a weather vane, sometimes it doesn't matter a dime, it's a magical existence.

And he knew that Han Yi invested a lot of money in public relations this time.

In many cases, the quality of a movie is very subjective, and it is also very easy to be influenced by the opinions of others, because it has no criteria for judging, and the Oscar is different from those European film festivals. It is voted by thousands of judges. , so it is possible to influence the votes of these judges in public opinion.

Publish relevant public relations manuscripts, especially articles by some famous film critics, accept TV interviews, and participate in various TV programs, all of which can actually affect the final selection of the judges.

Lunch with "Capote" star Philip Hoffman and an evening drink with "Good Night, Far Away" director George Clooney sounds like a dreamy schedule, but it's just an awards show An ordinary day for an Oscar judge during the season.

Celebrities, good food, comfortable surroundings, good conversation, these are just the "openers" of winning votes in the Oscar PR campaign, and all ambitious people know that these investments make sense, because of the Academy and the judges. Favored, nominated or even won an Oscar, can bring great financial rewards.

The re-screening of films, the release and reprint of DVDs, the sales of peripheral products, and even the investment in other films of the company will all become a matter of course. This is the "reputation" effect.

Since Harvey Weinstein joined this fame and fortune game called Oscars in the 90s, the bottom line of the game rules has undoubtedly been lowered by a large amount.

Behind the scenes of the Oscars, many people are saying "no award is real", "everything has a price and compensation", "anything can be given to win", "Harvey Weinstein completely changed changed the rules of the movie awards game"... an escalating PR campaign that has completely changed the way films are promoted during awards season, becoming more "aggressive" and "effective" and looking more like a political campaign.

Every Oscar winner has one thing in common—use their own advantages and rights to the fullest, and play to the extreme within the rules!
Therefore, as long as you are willing to work hard in publicity and public relations, you can always get votes from some judges. If you don't get it, other people's conditions are better than yours.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the film must have the most basic competitive strength.
Han Yi's publicity and public relations work is not the best among all the competitors, but when it comes to the level of best foreign language, the sum of money spent by other films is not as good as one-third of "Hero".

This guy Han Yi is really too capricious.

There was no tension between the two chatting, just a friendly exchange of ideas.

Then Han Yi was alone again.

"Hello, Director Han."

This is a very fashionable and delicately dressed young woman, who obviously came here specifically to find Han Yi.

This is a very sexy and hot-looking blonde, probably under 30 years old, but her face is a little strange. After seeing it, Han Yi confirmed that he did not know her.

She is exquisitely made up, luxuriously dressed, and impeccably mannered, and seems to have been very well educated or engaged in a very high-end career.

With such a blonde beauty standing in front of him, Han Yi was indeed a little puzzled. Han Yi didn't think he was very attractive.

"Hello, Director Han." The blond woman introduced herself, "I'm Michelle Braun, you can call me Michelle."

Out of the most basic courtesy, Han Yi nodded to her, "Hello, Michelle."

"You're nominated for an Oscar for the first time in your life, don't you need to celebrate?"

Hearing her words, Han Yi thought it was a public relations officer of a high-end party company, but Michelle Braun continued:

"I threw an Oscar bash party two nights later to celebrate the upcoming event, with Reese Witherspoon and Keira Knightley nominated for Best Actress, Michelle nominated for Best Supporting Actress Bill Williams and Rachel Weisz have agreed to my invitation."

She didn't mention any men's names, but only famous female stars.

This seemed to be a very high-end party, which was Han Yi's first reaction, but then he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain the reason.

"The party is very grand and can accommodate any request you have."

As she spoke, she took out a business card from her bag and handed it over, "If you are interested, you can call this number, and someone will serve you."

Han Yi took the business card and glanced at it. There was only a phone number on it, and he nodded subconsciously, "If necessary, I will make this call."

"Han Yi, you are lucky." After the other party left, Li Xiaolong did not know when he appeared behind him.

"Who is she?"

"Today's No. [-] pimp in Hollywood, Trickster."

"Is it that kind of party?" Han Yi now knew that something was wrong with that place.

"That's right, why don't you think about it."

"Forget it, I don't have this hobby, but why didn't I invite you?"

"Who said there wasn't one?"

Speaking of which, Li Xiaolong threw the same business card into the trash can.
