Top Strong Cultivator as a Teacher Chapter 731: My ambition
"Difficult, not impossible, is it?"
Zhao Gangyu said, "Didn't Director Feng Gang also won many Oscars?"
"That's because director Feng Gang is a genius."
Leonardo smiled, and some Westerners’ peculiarities flashed in his eyes, “If you have seen a movie directed by Feng Gang, you will find that he is indeed a genius... by the way, you smoke Cigar?"
"Cigar? Occasionally."
Zhao Gangyu said.
Leonardo walked to the drawer to the side, took out a small box, opened the box, took out a cigar and threw it to Zhao Gangjun, and said, "The best Cuban cigar, dedicated to the Castro family, last grandson Give it to me."
Zhao Gangyu took the cigar, and followed Leonardo's instructions.
In fact, he doesn't smoke this thing because it tastes weird. However, it is obvious that cigarettes are a weapon that narrows the distance between the two men, so Zhao Gangyu naturally followed one.
"All the Oscar awards can't be won if you do well, do you know?" Leonardo spit out a smoke ring and said.
"Know a little bit."
Zhao Gangyu nodded.
" The films that can be nominated for Oscars have achieved the ultimate in one aspect, such as the nomination of the best actor, all the actors’ acting skills have been perfect, without any flaws, and at this time, how to decide What about the attribution of the best actor? It has to start from the movie. Many years ago, there was a movie. I don’t know if you know it. It’s called "The Lord of the Rings". I remember it was in 2001. , Was selected as the most popular, but ultimately lost to "Beautiful Mind", know why? Because of what I said earlier, Oscars selected movies must have widely accepted value." Leonardo said This paused, and then said, "In this Oscar, several movies are mainstream movies and are very safe. Compared with the less mainstream and safe "Slashing the Dragon", they won the jury. The possibility is higher. So, if you want to lobby next, you can try to canvass for the best foreign language film award. If you fight for this award, the success rate will be very high. By the way, you have A very strong opponent, in the award of best foreign language film!"
""My Fox Fairy Wife 2"?" Zhao Gangyu asked.
"Well, they are already fighting for this award. According to the information I have received, they have won the trust of many people. Moreover, the company that this movie belongs to, in the United States, still has a lot of energy. "Leonardo said.
"What if we are going to grab other awards?" Zhao Gangyu asked.
"This can only lead to one result."
Leonardo said, "Your votes will be scattered. Assuming you can get the favor of 200 judges, then if you only compete for the best foreign language film, you may get all the votes of these judges, and If you compete for other awards, these votes will inevitably be scattered, which is not a good thing for you."
"That's why we need to lobby, don't we?"
Zhao Gangyu smiled and stood up and said, "Mr. Leonardo, I have come all the way from China. It’s not just for a prize like the best foreign language film. I have ambitions, our Movies, our directors and actors, also have ambitions. We hope to fight hard for every award. In this way, even if we may not get anything in the end, we will not have any regrets."
Leonardo stared at Zhao Gangyu for ten seconds, then suddenly laughed and said, "I seem to have seen your father more than ten years ago, hahaha, although I admire your attitude , But I have something that is not very good. I have to tell you that apart from your movie’s inconsistency with the Oscar theme, you have a bigger problem."
"Oh?" Zhao Gangyu looked at Leonardo.
"This time the chairman of the presidium, it's Thomson, that guy, he doesn't really like the movies from China." Leonardo said, winking at Zhao Gangyu.
"Thomson?"
Zhao Gangyu frowned, "It doesn't seem to have much effect if he doesn't like it? As long as the judges like it or not."
"You don't understand this."
Leonardo said, “As the chairman of the presidium, Thomson has a lot of power, and he has a wide range of contacts. His attitude can determine the final generals to a large extent. So, if you can If you convinced Thomson, you may have a one-percent chance of competing for other awards. However, as far as I know, Thomson is an old and stubborn, he will not be so easily moved."
"Mr. Leonardo, we believe that if we can get your help, our success rate should increase a lot." Zhao Gangyu said.
Leonardo is obviously very comfortable to be flattered by Zhao Gangyu, he smiled and said, "Hahaha, in terms of connections, I and Thomson are actually the same, but it's useless for you to flatter me , Because he has more power than me, but I promise that if you can convince Thomson, then I will attend some of your activities with Thomson."
Zhao Gangyu's eyes lit up and he said, "Let’s attend?"
"Of course."
"Mr. Leonardo~IndoMTL.com~I believe that in a short while, you, me, and Mr. Thomson will definitely have a drink together."
Zhao Gangyu finished speaking and raised the wine glass in his hand.
Leonardo smiled and touched Zhao Gangrong's glass, then drank it all.
In order to welcome Zhao Gangyu as a guest, Leonardo specially cooked Zhao Gangyu and the others for a lunch. During the meal, Leonardo also called a few friends who were also in the wealthy area.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Gangyu learned that these people who came originally were also in the jury.
Zhao Gangjun is naturally grateful to Leonardo, but Leonardo does not seem to care about anything, and he does not care about Zhao Gangjun's hints of bright or dark benefits.
Zhao Gangyu and others left Leonardo's home in the evening. Leonardo sent them to the door and watched them leave before returning to their home.
"Check Thomson's information now."
Zhao Gangyu sat in the car and said, "Use all the ways you can, Zhang Missile. If we can get Thomson, we might really be able to win a few prizes and go back."
"Well, I will check it out now!" Zhang Missile said excitedly.
The group returned to the hotel. In the evening, Zhao Gangyu hosted a banquet in a five-star hotel two blocks away from the Roosevelt Hotel and invited some members of the jury because they had already done some work in the early stage. Zhao Gangyu was confident that many people should be able to come, but in the end he discovered that more than forty people had come, which was nearly half the difference between Gao Dasong and others.
