Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 654 Returning Home (34)

Shen Yan won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film…

For the North American entertainment industry as a whole, it has little impact, and it's not even something to talk about!

Because "Burning" only grossed $648 million at the North American box office...

Very few people have seen it!

For those Hollywood giants, it's even more insignificant.

Of course, there are benefits too; at least many production companies know about the "La La Land" project!

I made some inquiries and learned that he is the most popular male actor in China…

But overall, there's not much change...

La La Land, a musical, and specifically a musical about jazz...

And he was also in charge of the music!

Flop!

The $3000 million is definitely going down the drain.

On the other hand, although Hollywood knows that the Chinese market is the 'future', they are still very arrogant and will at most give you a minor role.

Why does Disney insist on making a certain movie?

Didn't they know this stuff was RH-contaminated?

Of course they know, otherwise why would a character in Iron Man 3 be renamed Mandarin and cast as a Middle Eastern actor?
In a certain movie, they dropped the pretense: "I'll make your money, and I'll still insult you!"
Then it got banned!
Oh, Shen Yan won Best Foreign Language Film, but compared to the indifference of the Americans—not even many media outlets specifically reported on it.

After a brief moment of confusion, the situation in China exploded in no time!

It's the best foreign language film ever!
Although it's not the Oscars, a bunch of media outlets have already confidently declared that 'the Golden Globes are a precursor to the Oscars; winning the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film is basically equivalent to winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!'

Shen Yan's fans have already flooded the Weibo charts...

Well, this is the first mainland Chinese film to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film since the beginning of the 21st century…

Shen Yan's place in film history...

Oh, A24 immediately bought several press releases, and even bought half a page in The Hollywood Reporter for the award-winning "Burning"—for your reference!

The Hollywood Reporter paid as much as $7.2 for just one page.

Half a page costs $14.4!

There's no way around it; some money just has to be spent.

We can't afford to be complacent...

In fact, the film with the most public relations effort this year is "The Imitation Game." Harvey took out a full-page ad in The New York Times, touting it as "the best film of the year"!
They even did their homework in places the judges frequented—commercial spaces near the academy became the front lines of the selection process: a restaurant called Kate Mantilini had its wallpaper replaced with posters from various companies, ensuring that the judges who wanted to dine nearby were surrounded even during their mealtimes.

Unfortunately, Benedict Cumberbatch had previously made racist remarks—he used the word "colored," which is considered racially discriminatory…

Anyway, The Imitation Game is doomed!
……

The hotel has an open-air balcony.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the lake shimmered with light, reflecting the twinkling lights of the houses on the shore in the swaying moonlight.

Inside the room, Shen Yan and Dilraba sat facing each other, gradually exuding a hazy pink aura.

A red dress, long legs in black stockings…

There was no kissing, hugging, or lingering process.

As soon as Shen Yan entered the room, he sensed Dilraba's eagerness...

Anyway, Shen Yan personally tested the durability of the furniture, including sofas, bathroom furniture, and balcony furniture...

Both are fine!

"Shall we go to London tomorrow?"

“…Yes,” Shen Yan nodded, “There’s also the Ying Ao competition to participate in!”

"Why is the British Academy Film Awards called the British Oscars?" "Because it's difficult to challenge the Oscars' dominance, the British Academy Film Awards have always been considered an appendage of the Oscars—one of the preliminary battles. However, this battle shouldn't be underestimated. The British Academy Film Awards are called the 'British Oscars,' using the same voting system and having essentially the same award categories as the Oscars; it's the highest award in the UK. Its status is probably similar to the Golden Globes, slightly weaker, but with less public recognition."

However, in recent years, the British Academy Film Awards have gained more prestige…

"why?"

"Because Hollywood has a large number of British film workers!"

Dilraba nodded, then asked, "British filmmakers?"

Shen Yan casually said, "Ridley Scott, Christopher Nolan, Matthew Vaughn, Guy Ritchie, David Yates, Edgar Wright, Tom Horn, Martin McDonagh, and Danny Boyle, the director of Trainspotting..."

"All I know are Ridley Scott, Christopher Nolan, and Guy Ritchie..."

"Then you must know who my idol is, right?"

Hitchcock!

"Yes, he's also a British director!"

British filmmakers are indeed very talented. For example, Daniel Day-Lewis, the actor with the most Oscar wins, is British.

Oh, the actress with the most awards is Katharine Hepburn, who won the Academy Award for Best Actress four times. She was American…

"Is Kai coming along too?"

"certainly…"

Only three people from the "Burning" crew attended the awards ceremony...

Kai Kai Wang can't leave!

……

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is on January 16th, and the British Academy Film Awards are on January 17th…

It was only one day later!
So, after attending the Golden Globe Awards, the three rested for one night and flew to London the next day…

Shen Yan won the BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language, and then... he met with the people from MK2.

Following the Golden Globe Awards, Burning's European box office shows signs of recovery...

People from MK2 asked about their chances of winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

"You should ask the head of A24 about that... Anyway, I'm planning to invest another $200 million in public relations!"

"That's good... I'll have them extend it for two months!"

"Thank you!"

Although Shen Yan didn't say it directly, he expressed his determination to spend another 200 million...

That's enough!

To win Best Foreign Language Film... we've already spent nearly $400 million, and if we spend another $200 million, that'll be $600 million!
If they don't win an award, it would be an insult to the Oscars.

Oh, and we also talked about the European distribution of "Carol," "The Danish Girl," and "La La Land"...

Shen Yan was reluctant to hand over the distribution rights to one of the Hollywood Big Six for a simple reason: their fees were too high!

25% issuance fee…

Moreover, they may not necessarily put their heart into doing a good job of distribution.

In addition, they were also given the opportunity to try publishing the two-part "Big Shot" series and the "Sheep Without a Shepherd" series...

One is more action-oriented, the other more suspenseful; both are quite daring.

I just don't know if it will be a hit in Europe...

Oh, after discussing all this, Shen Yan and the other two didn't even stay in London for a night. In the early hours of the morning, they rushed to catch a plane back to China!

I never experienced feeding pigeons in London…

The main problem is lack of time. The production team for "Life's Big Events" is pressing hard, Wang Kai also has "The Devotion of Suspect X," and Dilraba Dilmurat has "Hot Girl" to film…

Everyone's very busy!
