Chapter 1868 1870【Strategy】
After winning Best Original Screenplay, "Rain Man"'s winning luck seems to be back, and then won the Best Actor Award.
This also surprised the scene. Because the competitor he defeated was really too strong.
Competing for the best actor is Michael Douglas in "Wall Street", Robin Williams in "Good Morning, Annan", and Jack Nicholson in "Leaving the Grass"...
These are all well-known actors in Hollywood, and they have all played their due level in their respective movies. Unfortunately, in the end, Dustin Hoffman came out on top.
By virtue of his autistic hero in "Rain Man", he successfully won the best actor.
But this is not surprising, the Oscars already favor those alternative protagonists.
For example, the mentally ill hero in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", the stuttering king in "The King's Speech", the split personality heroine in "Black Swan", the mentally broken heroine in "Blue Jasmine", and the "Silence of the Lambs". The perverted devil-eating hero...
…
After , it is a pity to miss the best director award. It is a pity that it was taken away by Bernardo Bertolucci with "The Last Emperor".
But Xiang Nan didn't care, because he didn't choose the director, but Paramount Pictures. Didn't win the prize, no wonder he has bad eyesight.
Finally, it’s time for the best picture award.
The presenters were Michael Douglas and Jodie Foster.
The two first read the list of nominees. The nominees include "Moonlight", "The Last Emperor", "Glory Days", "Fatal Attraction", "Rain Man", etc. They are all very promising films .
The attribution of this award also attracted the attention of the audience. Everyone was watching the stage with bated breath, and the camera was aimed at the producers at the right time.
There is one in front of Xiang Nan, facing his face, recording his facial expressions and projecting them on the big screen in real time.
Xiang Nan's expression was very vivid, with clenched fists and wide eyes, he looked excited and nervous.
But in fact, he was at peace. For him, it's just an insignificant award.
It's good to win, but it doesn't hurt to lose it. Anyway, he has a lot of chances to win the award, and he doesn't care about it once and for all.
But you still have to act in front of the camera, after all, people like this kind of drama.
When so-and-so received the award, he fell a big somersault; when so-and-so received the award, he cried bitterly;
So although Xiang Nan didn't care, he still pretended to be nervous.
Subsequently, Jodie Foster announced the name of the winner - "Rain Man", Charles.
Xiang Nan walked onto the stage again amidst applause, "Thank you very much for the judges' kindness, I have always said that Hollywood is a place suitable for chasing dreams.
Eight years ago, when I first came to Hollywood to develop, I had nothing. Now I have fame, wealth, status and honor.
I have realized my American dream here, and I also hope that more filmmakers will come to Hollywood to develop and pursue your own dreams. Thanks! "
In the 1980s, the American Dream was still very appealing and convincing. Many people have succeeded in chasing their dreams here and gained amazing wealth, fame and status.
Americans are also keen to advocate this matter in order to attract more talents and capital. So they were naturally happy to hear what Xiang Nan said.
Xiang Nan is also willing to portray himself as a successful example of the American dream, which will help his development in the United States. After all, starting next year, he will start buying Hollywood giants, which will arouse the vigilance of American society.
After Xiang Nan portrayed himself as a successful example of the American dream, to oppose him is to oppose the American dream, which means that Americans do not welcome foreign talents and capital.
It is difficult for foreign talents to integrate into the United States, and they cannot realize their dreams in the United States, so naturally they will not come here. This is certainly not what capital expected.
So not only will they not oppose Xiang Nan, but they will even give the green light to portray him as a typical example of the American dream in order to attract more capital and talents.
Xiang Nan inherited Ji Xiaolan's talent and Xu Wenqiang's strategy, and his calculations on this point should not be wrong.
…
After the awards ceremony, Xiang Nan and Sophie Marceau attended the next party.
Because he won two awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film in one fell swoop, Xiang Nan also became the focus of much attention. The stars and filmmakers present all hope to chat with him and establish friendship so as to start cooperation.
Xiang Nan also enjoyed the high-profile feeling, casually greeted everyone, and then finalized two investment projects.
One is "Sweet Home" recommended by Ron Howard. This is a family comedy, which tells the story of the male protagonist who, as the head of the family, has encountered many challenges such as children's education, personal career, husband and wife relationship, and relationship with relatives and friends.
Lon Howard was born in an acting family. He started acting on stage at the age of five and directed his first movie in 1977. Although he is not yet successful. But in the future, he will win the Oscar for Best Director with "A Beautiful Mind".
In addition, his representative works include "Apollo Thirteen", "The Grinch", "The Da Vinci Code", "Angels and Demons", etc. He is a highly productive and stable director.
Xiang Nan was also willing to invest in the movie "Sweet Family" because of this.
One is "Cosmic Veyron" invested by Karoco Films. Xiang Nan not only agreed to invest, but also accepted the male lead's invitation.
Because he knew that the movie "Cosmic Dragon" was extremely successful at the box office, with a global box office of more than 260 million US dollars, and it was one of the most successful commercial films in the 1990s.
However, the investment in this film is quite large, with an investment of more than 60 million US dollars, setting a record for investment in the 1990s. This is also the reason why Karoco Films is soliciting investment everywhere.
But other film companies don't know how much potential this movie has at the box office. Hearing that it was an investment of 60 million US dollars, they all avoided it.
After all, the investment of Xiang Nan's "Ghostbusters 3" is only 50 million US dollars. A $60 million movie is really going to heaven!
Because of this, Xiang Nan just picked up a loophole.
…
At the party, Xiang Nan exchanged pleasantries with directors such as Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.
Spielberg is very interested in Xiang Nan. Although this young man is young, he is full of talent, and every movie he produces is so profitable.
He couldn't even do this, so he proposed that they have a chance to cooperate. Xiang Nan's script and his direction may create an astonishing box office miracle.
