Chapter 28 Preparations (2/6)
Director Lu is thinking about David Fink's words...
Reward the prize!
It means to hit the Oscars.
It was the second day after "Graining" was released. Lu Xiaoran saw David Fink bringing in a bunch of newspapers: "Look, everyone is praising "Graining"!"
“…No mobile client?”
"Yes, but everyone is more accustomed to reading newspapers."
"…All right."
It's really crazy, no wonder many people say that the American marketing and film review system are very backward...
He is actually writing a film review in the newspaper?
"This is the Boston Post's evaluation: a model of genre films. Gravity knows its purpose of existence to let the audience experience the unique experience of human beings in space as much as possible. This movie is done very well!"
Lu Xiaoran looked up and asked his translator: "Is this a good review?"
"certainly!"
"The universe is beyond imagination, vastness, emptiness and terror, and humans' efforts to explore the universe seem extremely exquisite and extremely clumsy, but this also has its unique romance and beauty... "Gravity" made me feel these at one time. I like this movie so much..."
"Who is this?"
"Marola Dargis, a film critic for The New York Times..."
Speaking of this, David Fink suddenly thought of something: "Boss?"
"…What's wrong?"
“…Would we try to win the prize?”
"Awarding the award? Oscars? Are you sure?"
"Since the critics all agreed, let's try it!"
Lu Xiaoran thought about it for a while, then nodded: "It's good to get a few nominations. It's best to discuss with Spielberg. He should have experience in hedging awards!"
David Fink shook his head: "Stephen doesn't know much about winning the prize, otherwise "Saving Private Ryan" would not lose to "Shapes' Love History"!"
"First of all, this year is a standard Little New Year. So far, there are no particularly outstanding movies, such as "Birdman", "Youth", "Bodapest Hotel" and "Blast Drummer". These movies are too simple..."
That’s right, this year is the standard Oscar Little New Year!
It probably means that the harvest is not good and the quality is not high.
There is basically nothing else in your movie like Birdman except for long shots...
There is no obvious breakthrough in genre, subject matter, narrative, technology, etc.!
Thinking of this, the probability of winning the award in "Gravity" is not low.
There is no problem with several technical awards, maybe I can still win the best director!
...
In the mainland, the promotion of "Gravity" is mainly concentrated on Tangtang and on the Internet...
The Orange PR team has put up a bunch of titles, "Graining Conquers North America", "Locking the Best Science Fiction Award of the Year in advance", "Early winning $50 million in the first weekend, breaking the box office record of Chinese-language movies in North America"...
Of course, there are also various comments that are all good reviews...
The Space Administration was also pulled out, and spokesperson Huang Qiang mentioned "Georgetic": This is a very good movie.
The space presentation and the story itself are absolutely fascinating, and I think it is the best use of the 3dimax medium so far. Gravity doesn't use it as a gimmick, but is really used to portray a realistic environment that is completely unfamiliar to most people.
This remark has also been on the hot search...
It's really popular before it appears!
Tangtang has traveled to several variety shows, "Base Camp", "Lu Yu has an appointment"...
Now accepting an exclusive interview with "Watching Movies".
"It is said that in order to prepare for the characters in the film, you have undergone physical training for half a year. The process must be very difficult. Have you lost a lot of weight?"
Tangtang nodded: "I did receive half a year of training, but it was not the kind of muscle training you imagined. The ones who trained me were dancers. They allowed me to receive training from the inside out to avoid injuries, so my weight didn't fall off, but my body shape was greatly improved and reshaped."
"Why are you looking for this role?"
“…it’s mainly because I’m relatively idle and can be on call.”
“Is it hard to shoot a movie like this?”
"Fortunately, most of the scenes are done in a huge metal device, because it takes 30-45 minutes each time you enter that device, and it is the same as it comes out, and it only takes an hour and a half to change the scene. It is very difficult to get in and out in and out in such a way, so I simply stayed in it. They all called the device Tangtang's cage!"
"I heard Lu Xiaoran say that the biggest difficulty is simulated weightlessness?"
"Yes, because the plot takes place in a vacuum, it's hard for me to perform it. Later, they developed a system to let a robot help me move. The development of this system took several months!"
"Many people say this story is too simple, what do you think?"
"…It's quite simple. Similar stories can happen in any wilderness. But putting it in space and using realistic techniques makes people look back at human civilization, it's hard not to resonate with the same kind. And the technology of this movie is really unparalleled. If possible, I hope everyone will watch 3D, because it's difficult for ordinary 2D screens to show such an effect!"
After whispering each other, "Watching Movies" magazine, Tangtang took the water cup handed by her assistant girl, took a sip, and asked, "Do you still have a trip?"
"Not yet... I'll set out to run for roadshow tomorrow..."
"Roadshow? What day is today?"
“It’s the 23rd…
"On the 23rd? When will Xiaoran return to China?
"Brother Lu returned to China today..."
The brother Lu they mentioned has arrived at the company...
...
"You don't have to worry about the box office, we estimate that it will be at least 2 billion!"
"China Film Group will move "Super Body" to November 1st... Ensure that only one blockbuster film "George" will be released this week!"
Zhong Lifang said two news.
"I can understand the transfer of "Super Body". Why are you so sure that "George" can have a box office of 2 billion?"
Lu Xiaoran looked through the report in his hand and asked casually.
“…There will be a place to support it…”
"No way? You can actually get through the upper level?"
"…Gratio Gravity premiered in the Great Hall of the People, and all the staff of the Space Administration were invited to participate in the movie. They said that this is the best sky theme..."
Director Lu was surprised: "It's really the premiere ceremony held in the Great Hall?"
"Yes, Zhang and Han are among them. They like "Gravity" very much!"
These two are both science fiction fans. The Golden Retriever said that after the filming of the "Three-Body Problem", they also went to watch it and then died directly...
The reason is very simple, shoddy things!
"Why don't you call me?"
"Call you still can write?"
“…”
Yes, I'm worried about writing a surname...
"I guess many people have figured out how to attack "George"... After the release, you will maintain your reputation and do your job well!"
"knew!"
How to attack?
The story is not good enough!
Chapter completed!
