She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

Different from the domestic award ceremony process, Hollywood officially enters the award ceremony season in early December: first of all, there is the New York Film Critics Circle Award, which is ranked among the four major film critics awards in the United States, the Directors Guild Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award, and the regional Film Critics Association Awards - four major, four small, and five major ones, mainly referring to the thirteen film critics associations, also known as the thirteen outposts of the Oscars.

By early January, all major film critics awards will announce their nominations. The list of winners of these Sentinel Awards is equivalent to a screening of candidates who may be nominated for an Oscar. The Golden Globe Awards, British Oscars, Critics' Choice Awards and American union awards are the four more authoritative indicators of the Oscars, with influence and popularity far exceeding that of the Sentinel Awards.

Among the four major weather vanes, the Golden Globe Awards scheduled to be held in mid-January is the most anticipated - in the past decade, the Golden Globe Awards has even surpassed the Cannes Film Festival in terms of global popularity.

Therefore, most films that want to publicize the Oscars every year start to get busy from early November. Directors and actors have to spend money and effort to publicize the awards. PRs have to work around the clock in various social occasions and show off their skills at a wide range of banquets.

According to Li Shuo's idea, Su Lingxi should come to Los Angeles in early November to make preparations in advance. After all, she is the key figure in this Oscar-winning bid - both he and Sigourney have won the Oscar, and only Su Lingxi is a newcomer who is doing her first time as a publicist for the Oscars.

However, due to other work in China, Su Lingxi did not make time to fly to Los Angeles until early December.

If you fall behind others in time, you will have to work harder to make up for it in other areas.

"Half of the DVD revenue plus three million dollars in PR fees, I don't think David's enthusiasm for us will fade away too soon." After the business dinner with TSG owner David LeBlanc, Tracy immediately went to Sulingxi's single-family house located on a hidden ridge. "For TSG's current size, this is a considerable amount of money."

The popularity of "Freedom Road" is well known, and even if the subsequent revenue of the DVD is only half, it will not be far off.

Plus the three million dollars she spent on insurance...

Su Lingxi was sure that, apart from the public relations fees for different judges, TSG would definitely make a fortune this time - this might be the real reason why David LeBlanc was smiling during the dinner just now.

But there was no other way. Even though she knew very well that the other party would take kickbacks in the process, she still had to bite the bullet and spend the money. After all, money can be earned again if lost. But once the PR channels provided by TSG were gone, they wouldn't even know who to contact for public relations.

Therefore, for all celebrity clients who want to win prizes, spending money is an essential part.

For some regional awards that have less attention and are more operational, transactions can be conducted through interest exchange, role introduction, etc., but for big prizes like the Golden Globe and the Oscars, the only way to win is to spend money to buy PR connections.

Different from the cultural atmosphere in China, in Hollywood, spending money on public relations during awards season is a legal and reasonable thing, and even the charges of public relations companies can be checked.

The reason why this operating model has been able to operate in Hollywood for decades without being eliminated is mainly because most public relations activities are still lobbying-based, and there are countless eyes in the outside world secretly watching those big awards. Actors have no shortcuts except spending money on PR, which maintains relative fairness.

At the beginning, Su Lingxi was a little uncomfortable with Hollywood's practice of openly discussing public relations fees and lobbying tactics, but over time she gradually got used to it.

"Look at these reports." She gently spread out the newspaper in her hand and pointed to one of the pages. "6 outposts for Best Actress, 4 outposts for Breakthrough Actor - LeBron's work ability is unquestionable, and our money is really worth it."

This is a copy of the New York Times that was just published not long ago. It lists all the awards and nominations that Su Lingxi has received since the beginning of December, including but not limited to the Best Actress from the New York Film Critics' Choice Awards, the Best Lead Performance from the Los Angeles Film Critics' Choice Awards, the Best Actress nomination from the National Film Critics' Choice Awards, and the Best Actress nomination from the American Critics' Choice Awards...

Among them is the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama nomination, which was just announced last week. As one of the four major indicators of the Oscars, this should be the most valuable nomination she has received so far.

"David has a way of dealing with those film critics." Tracy smiled and joked, "They always tend to stick together. They like to flaunt their superiority and purity over the Oscars, and they can't help but want to boast about the role of their own awards in pointing to the Oscars. Of course, although the hit rate of these film critics awards for the Oscars is not high and they are also very regional, their nomination rate is as high as 90%."

In other words, Su Lingxi has already won two or three important Sentinel Awards in this award-giving month of December, and has also been shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards. As long as her PR doesn't fall short in the future, she will definitely get an Oscar nomination in the end.

"And we were also shortlisted for the Critics' Choice Awards, which is also one of the important indicators of the Oscars," Jia Jia added promptly.

She was an ambitious and hard-working girl who had taught herself spoken English for a long time. Now she spoke English with Tracy very fluently and naturally.

"Yes, the Critics' Choice Awards is one of the four major indicators. Its value is self-evident, but the possibility of us winning the award is not very high." Tracy nodded, then sighed, "Unfortunately, the nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards will not be announced until next month..."

The Critics' Choice Awards are film and television awards sponsored by the Broadcast Film Critics Association, which is currently the largest film review organization in North America. The voters include almost all important critics and film journalists in the United States, and the voting standards are famously strict.

Although its popularity is not as high as that of the Golden Globe Awards, its authority has surpassed that of the Golden Globe Awards. After all, in the past decade, the Critics' Choice Awards has had a 100% nomination rate for the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress. Its winning rate is also the highest among all film critics association awards, with each individual category exceeding 50%, which can be said to be very accurate.

But what they want to do is the Best Actress nomination. After all, the weather vane of the acting awards still has to be the Screen Actors Guild Awards, which is also one of the four major weather vanes.
