"Saving Private Ryan" and "Braveheart" not only coincidentally won the same Golden Globe Award nomination, the similarities of the two films are also everywhere, the same epic movie, the same profound theme, the same excellent war scene, even Even the soundtrack of the film is Hollywood's top two musicians John · Williams and James · Horner. Therefore, the popularity of the two films in the rush season is almost the same. Recently in the media, "Saving Private Ryan" and "Braveheart" The supporters of the two films are also very arguing with gunpowder.
If Firefly and Fox are only very simple competitors, then this year ’s raffle season, whether on the surface or privately, the two companies will compete for the most important movie awards, and this situation is undoubtedly. It will lead to unnecessary expenditures on the public relations budget of both parties, and even the final award result is not the most beneficial to each.
However, because of the relationship between Eric and Elizabeth, the two sides have formed a certain tacit understanding long ago.
"Eric, judging from the current situation, separating the best movie from the best Director is the most beneficial for the two of us," Harvey · Weinstein carefully analyzed: "《Saving Private Ryan 》 The release in the range of global has come to an end, North America also released the video tape of the movie two months ago, so, I think the most suitable for this film should be the best Director. Although this film is full of masculinity, but Kathryn is a woman. In the history of Oscar for more than 60 years, although there have been several nominations for women Director, but no woman has ever won the best Director, so if "Saving Private Ryan" won the best Director award , The sensation caused is absolutely no less than a best film. After all, Oscar already has sixty-six best films, but the best female Director movie has no one. Even in the next few decades, the best female Director It will only be Kathryn. As long as "Saving Private Ryan" wins the best Director award, this film can maintain lasting influence for many years to come. "
Eric nodded, although Harvey · Weinstein did not mention any words related to movie income. But in fact, his remarks are entirely from the commercial point of view to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of awards.
Once Kathryn Be the first to get Oscar optimal Director Women, " Saving Private Ryan 》 Will have a very special position in the history of film, which means that in the second Oscar Women's best Director Before it appeared, " Saving Private Ryan 》 Will be unique, whenever someone thinks Oscar optimal Director . Often they will soon notice the only woman among them, and then they will notice this film, which means " Saving Private Ryan 》 In many years to come, it will be provided on video, DVD and other peripheral channels Firefly Bring far better than others to get the best Director The profit of the film.
Noting the look approved by Eric, Harvey · Weinstein continued: "" Braveheart "is still in the release stage, so the best film title is more important to us. If we both conduct public relations, we will use two films. The displayed strength is quite strong, and the final result will be difficult to predict, even, I personally think. The final result is likely to be the opposite of what we expected. Because "Saving Private Ryan" is an American-style main theme war film, relative to the history of United Kingdom The "Braveheart" and "Saving Private Ryan" are undoubtedly more likely to get the best film. On the best Director, there are not many women in the Director association, and most of them are old man with a serious male tendency. The winning side of Mel · Gibson is much larger than that of Kathryn. If we want to make the result develop in the direction we want, after the nomination of Oscar, our two parties' public relations strategy must reach some tacit agreement in advance. "
Although "Braveheart", which was released at the end of the year, occupies a lot of time compared to "Saving Private Ryan", which has been under North America for a long time, it can easily produce the greatest media influence during the award season. But if you carefully analyze the Oscar potential of the two films, "Saving Private Ryan" has the two major advantages of American main theme and extreme orthodoxy. If the two parties do their own thing in the following Oscar public relations, the result is really unpredictable.
Harvey finished. Eric nodded and said: "In this way, Harvey, I will call Katzenberg at night to let the person in charge of the Firefly award public relations contact you tomorrow, and you will communicate in private."
Harvey · Weinstein appeared here, also want to hear the promise of this cooperation from Eric. After all, everyone happily divides the ‘cake’, which is the best win-win situation. Otherwise, either the final result, as Weinstein just said, is exactly the opposite of the expectations of the two parties, or one party is completely defeated. This is definitely not what the two companies with very good relations want to see.
Identify the most important issue, Harvey · Weinstein also easily talked about some details: "Eric, Ms. Bigelow is also the main Producer of" Saving Private Ryan ", but I heard that she seems not to have participated too much recently Golden Globe Award Of course, Golden Globe Award doesn't matter, but if "Saving Private Ryan" wants to get the best Oscar Director, she should show more, even if she doesn't attend too much public relations party in private, I think she should accept more times Public media interviews and the like. "
The main steps of the PR of the awards include public relations in the media and public relations with the judges in private. The ultimate goal is actually like elections, through various influences to pull from the judges of the awards to vote.
The suggestion of Weinstein is certainly very persuasive. Although Eric agrees very much, he still smiled and said: "Harvey, you may not know, Kathryn is a little ... well, it is idealistic, she does n’t like it very much. I cannot force this kind of activity. "
Harvey · Weinstein is stunned. If it is operated properly, the video and TV broadcast authorization of "Saving Private Ryan" later can continue to bring Firefly net income of hundreds of millions of USD. Such a big business, how can Firefly be because of Director? Without letting the idealism go, she let her perfunctory.
However, Harvey quickly remembered some rumors in private. The beautiful face of Kathryn was completely free of any trace of years, and he smiled heartily, and did not intend to mention this matter again.
Elizabeth, who had been silently listening to the two people talking about things, suddenly murmured sourly: "I am idealistic when I am in my forties, what about being my own little girl."
Eric almost choked out of the coffee, quickly placed the coffee cup carefully on the table, and looked up at the Elizabeth, who suddenly ate vinegar, but was glared back with impoliteness.
Harvey · Weinstein was keenly aware that the atmosphere was beginning to look a little out of shape, and got up and left in a very interesting way. From Eric, we have confirmed the promise. The publicity details of the subsequent awards of course do not require Eric to worry about it personally. Harvey will go to communicate with the relevant person in charge of Firefly.
Get up and send Harvey away, Eric and Elizabeth sat down again.
There are only two people left. Elizabeth also realizes that his little temperament has been out of date, but he is also unwilling to take the initiative to soften. His eyes dare not stare at Eric, fluttering to look into the distance, seemingly on the hillside Number of luxury homes.
Eric beckoned the waiter to change a pot of coffee for the two, and followed Elizabeth's gaze to the distance.
After being so quiet for a while, Elizabeth suddenly became angrily again, staring at Eric and said: "Julia is right, you bastard, you do n’t know to move us."
Eric feels a little inexplicable: "His Royal Highness, where am I doing something wrong?"
"You should have taken the initiative to speak first, and even asked me to break the silence."
Eric ca n’t help crying: “I still think you ’re just thinking about life, so you did n’t bother, and you ’re not a little girl, why bother about this.”
"Why are some people in their forties still able to be little girls, I ca n’t."
Eric can only surrender: "Well, you continue to maintain the mentality of the little girl, so maybe you can be as beautiful as her when you are as big as Kathryn."
"Yeah," Elizabeth suddenly got a little smug: "When I was forty, hey, imagine what she would look like."
Eric can imagine it now, because he has never seen it. After more than ten years, Kathryn is no different than it is now.
This woman will survive in this world if she wants to be a goblin all her life.
Elizabeth noticed a smile in Eric ’s thoughtful expression, pretending to tremble with a chill, and said, “You ’re actually imagining, you can still laugh, it ’s too much, no wonder someone says you have Complex. "
Eric does not intend to discuss Kathryn with Elizabeth anymore, and actively took the topic off, saying: "I saw that Mel · Gibson was nominated for the best actor in Golden Globe Award, and his performance level was somewhat reluctant to get Golden Globe Award nomination. Would n’t you still plan to run a Oscar nomination for him? "
Eric and Harvey just did not talk about the public relations of Golden Globe Award, mainly because Golden Globe Award is irrelevant for Saving Private Ryan. The influence caused by Golden Globe Award is often only before and after its issuance, and then it will be quickly Oscar ’s Covered by influence. For the film released, Golden Globe Award's media attention may play a role in promoting Box Office, but this promotion effect is not so great for films that have entered the later stage of operation.
The most important thing for "Saving Private Ryan" is Oscar. After all, when any news about "Saving Private Ryan" appears in any media in the future, it is often mentioned that this is the Oscar title of the film. "Saving Private Ryan" is selling overseas video tapes or TVs. When it comes to broadcasting rights, buyers often only care about the Oscar award. Most of the time, even if it is only a Oscar nomination, the gold content is much higher than the Golden Globe Award award. This difference is more obvious in the Actor award. Like the little plum who has been pursuing the Oscar film emperor for many years, many people even even I don't know. Ten years ago, the little Li Zi got the Oscar movie emperor, and he was already the Golden Globe Award movie emperor.
Elizabeth heard Eric shifting the topic, and was smart enough not to continue to struggle, saying: "Speaking of this, Mel · Gibson has a fight with Harvey because of this nomination." /
