The 82nd Oscars has begun, and Feng Yu is sitting at home in Los Angeles, watching the live broadcast. Tianlai NovelWw『W．⒉3TXT. COM
Many media outlets create momentum for other movies, directors, actors, etc., but together they are not as good as MGM.
The two films "Avatar" and "Inception" were nominated at the same time, and the promotion was also focused. Otherwise, it would be difficult to guarantee that other films would take the opportunity to break through due to the shared votes.
Kirilenko held the wine glass: "Feng, can you win the prize this time?"
In fact, Feng Yu is not 100% sure about this. This is not the sale of a product. As long as it is tested by the market and coupled with good publicity, it will become popular.
When people buy products, they don’t get angry and buy those that don’t work. That would be causing trouble for themselves. But there are a lot of surprises in voting. Anyway, if they vote for someone they don't like, it won't cost them much, and they can vent their dissatisfaction.
"You'll know just by looking at it. No one can tell for sure until the results come out."
Feng Yu was able to win various design awards for his company's products. At the same time, many people thought they could win them, but they didn't win them in the end.
If "Avatar" and others are not allowed to win this Oscar, then don't blame Feng Yu for winning awards from other film festivals. This time he has done everything he can, and the Rotten Tomatoes alone played a huge role.
In its previous life, "The Hurt Locker" turned to Rotten Tomatoes for public relations and boosted its freshness rating to over 90%. But in this life, Feng Yu had people do some tricks.
The freshness ratings of "Avatar" and "Inception" are both over 90%, while "The Hurt Locker" has only 47%, because this movie is really boring.
And Feng Yu also asked Rotten Tomatoes to announce the number of people who participated in the rating and publicized it.
Only hundreds of thousands of people participated in the rating of "The Hurt Locker", while the number of people who participated in the rating of "Avatar" actually made history with more than 10 million people.
This is of course related to the media's promotion, which not only promoted "Avatar", but also once again promoted Rotten Tomatoes, making this film more famous and authoritative.
Even though Feng Yu spent a huge amount of money on publicity, he was able to earn it back in other ways. Rotten Tomatoes, a website that rates movies, books, etc., currently has a market valuation of over one billion US dollars and is still rising.
Many movie companies say that Rotten Tomatoes is not fair because it is too closely related to MGM. But they can't stop viewers from going to Rotten Tomatoes to rate movies they love or hate.
But Rotten Tomatoes can sway votes, everyone knows this. If any company offends MGM, then Rotten Tomatoes will give it a very low score. Many people who want to see the movie will take a look at Rotten Tomatoes and think, oh, it is a bad movie. Can it still do well at the box office
On the contrary, if the Rotten Tomatoes score is high, many people think the movie is worth watching, and the box office performance will naturally be better.
MGM, using Rotten Tomatoes to tie other studios to their chariot.
Fengyu Holdings promotes that Rotten Tomatoes is an independent website that shows the degree of love for movies from the audience's perspective. This is a standard that any film company must refer to. Their ultimate goal in making movies is to make money.
If it doesn't make money, they won't do it.
Every time they invest in or produce a movie, they will do sufficient market assessment. Hollywood shoots too many movies every year, but half of them can't even find a company and can't be put on the big screen.
In the past, many people's movies could only be sold in the form of discs for sale or rental. Now they are aiming at the Internet market. Not only YouTube, but also some other video websites are now making online movies. In fact, they are just the previous CD movies, with the addition of the Internet as a release channel.
"Hey, Elena was nominated for Best Actress, so you spent a lot of money."
Feng Yu nodded. For this nomination, he spent a lot of money to let Elena pass the first two rounds of screening.
To be honest, "Inception" doesn't really have high requirements for acting skills, and DiCaprio never thought that this movie could win him an award. It's just that the script interested him very much. It will definitely increase his popularity and the pay is really good.
This is the first movie that Elena has actually participated in. In other minor film awards, Elena even won a few of them.
Of course, there are not many participating movies, and they are not very influential. They are just to boost Elena's popularity.
It's enough to get him nominated this time. If he really wins the award, the shady story will be too obvious, and it's not enough.
This is enough to make Elena extremely happy, and it is also of great benefit to her popularity. However, Nolan, Cameron and others have tactfully stated that Elena's acting skills are not very good, but are good enough for a newcomer, but they are not optimistic that Elena can become an Oscar-winning actress.
Because Elena lacks a lot of life experience, Elena cannot control many roles at all. However, in terms of singing and dancing, they all think that Elena is the best in the world. From the awards that Elena has won over the years, it can be said that Elena is the best in the world. It can be seen that they are all well-deserved.
But so what, it's enough for Elena to be happy, Feng Yu just wants to praise her. Even if you don't win the prize, you have to continue to increase your exposure. Anyway, it's enough for the audience to see Elena enter the competition. They won't know how many votes Elena got in the end.
"Brother, it's actually very simple to be shortlisted for the election in the United States, just spend money. It's much more difficult to win an award, but I think Cameron can at least get an important award this time."
Either Best Director or Best Picture, if not, Feng Yu will make people crazy about Oscar secrets. Anyway, it was like this in the previous life, which eventually forced the Oscars to modify the voting mechanism that had been in place for many years.
In fact, there are indeed many loopholes in the current voting mechanism. There was a scene where the award presenter was completely stunned when announcing the winning film, because he found it unbelievable.
As soon as Feng Yu finished speaking, the results of the best picture were announced. "Avatar" won the award. James Cameron and MGM CEO Schmitz went on stage to receive the award. The two made some strong remarks. There was no need to continue at this time. that's humble. He said that he was grateful to the Oscars for no longer being biased against science fiction movies, and both thanked Feng Yu and Kirilenko.
Kirilenko patted Feng Yu on the shoulder: "Did you hear that? They also thanked me."
Feng Yuxin said that this is just a routine. Your company has provided great support for special effects. Thank you is just a polite word. No one will be stingy, but don't take it too seriously.
When the best director also fell into Cameron's pocket, Cameron was even more proud. Later, when he learned that the second place for best picture and best director was "The Hurt Locker" and his ex-wife, he admired Feng Yu even more.
Fortunately, the public relations was good enough, otherwise it might have failed. It is extremely difficult for a science fiction movie to win an Oscar. This time, Cameron did it!
Feng Yu turned off the TV. This time, he succeeded again. But then, a lot of news appeared on the Internet, including Feng Yu's remarks that affected the Oscar selection. When Feng Yu saw this, not only was he not angry, but he smiled happily.
I am a shady person, what the hell!
