Chapter 228 Even if those are all false names and floating clouds?(2/3)
The Nobel-Hugo Award in the global science fiction field is really not just for novels. Since 1958, there has been an award for the best drama presentation in the film and television situation.
In 2003, this award will be divided into the Best Long Drama Presentation Award and the Best Short Drama Presentation Award.
Long stories are longer than 90 minutes, and short stories are less than 90 minutes.
Of course, there are still relatively few movies that can win awards, such as (Moon) (Inception) (Doctor Who: Pandora/The Big Bang) (Game of Thrones) (The Martian)... Oh, and (Revenge)
Alliance) movie.
It is also a very magical thing that the Women's Federation film won the Hugo Award. It is enough to show that the gold content of the Hugo Award also requires operation. As long as the operation is good, the threshold for winning the award can be overcome.
In fact, in terms of novels, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire also won a Hugo Award for novels, but wasn't it that Kwan Jiahui and Monica Bellucci just published Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone? Just now
The first part is out, but Goblet of Fire is not yet there.
Under his warm greeting, Chris, who was about 50 years old, politely took the champagne and took a sip of thanks. His eyes rolled around Zhao Donghuai and William, and he asked tentatively, "Can I read the script first?"
It’s inexplicable and nonsensical. How come he, a big figure in the awards industry from the Global Science Fiction Association, was invited to Hong Kong Island to work on next year’s Hugo Awards?
He didn't pay much attention to Zhao Donghuai. The two parties had never been in the field before... Even though the Hugo Awards established the Best Drama Presentation Award in 1958, until the new millennium, there were basically no movies or TV series that won the award.
Nominate it.
So until now, the big names in the Hugo Awards awarding industry have actually relatively ignored and not paid much attention to the film and television industry.
Director Zhao laughed, "Of course."
Zhang Min took a brand new script script and handed it to Chris, who also walked to the reception area and sat down to watch it.
He doesn’t know much about Zhao Donghuai, but he knows what Goldman Sachs is!!
Well, what it represents in North America is the will of Wall Street, and it represents the irreversible relationship with Amei’s official finance department.
Chris flashed to read, and William laughed and said, "Zhao, why are you interested in this kind of award? But what I'm saying is that compared to the Oscars and the Cannes International Film Festival, the Hugo Awards are not bad at all. It's just that everyone seemed to be in the past.
Not in the same field."
"It wasn't you who told me that I didn't even know that the Hugo Awards had trophies for film and television projects."
"Then I wish you in advance to win the grand prize and add another global honor to Hong Kong Island Film Industry."
Zhao Donghuai laughed, "I hope, I hope we can cooperate happily. As long as he agrees to help me, I will give him a share of the Big Bear business. I can let him make as much profit as he has and settle all the troubles in the middle."
"
When Old Sam and Old Jack on the North American Oscar Chairman's Jury were willing to help him run the Oscars, they were making money along the Japanese Yen foreign exchange chariot. At this stage, they are naturally bartering with Big Bear.
Any canned meat worth more than 300 grams can be exchanged for an AK and bullets, and any daily necessities can be exchanged for young Yangma to give you a monthly subscription to warm your boat. Zhao Donghuai helped people open up their joints and will not be beaten by the mafia, the police or even higher-level strongmen.
Blackmail you.
That's a profit of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars from just one trip.
It's impossible for him to say that he helps Chris make money every time he goes there, but on average, he will share a net profit of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in two months. From April now to July when the awards will be held next year, that's eight or nine thousand Hong Kong dollars.
A net profit of over ten million dollars.
What's more important is that these are all legal, clean and money you can spend casually.
William's eyes lit up and he drank champagne and said, "Zhao, I know that the Big Bear is in dire need of supplies, and bartering is a way to make a fortune, but what about the foreign exchange market? The ruble has a tendency to collapse. If we can
If you make a fortune in this area, you won’t earn less than the appreciation of the Japanese yen, right??”
Big Bear's rubles are over-issued and continue to be over-issued. As a result, no one can exchange money with you at the official exchange rate in serious banks. You need to go to the black market. The black market is...another way to play.
Zhao Donghuai, "..."
Rubles?? This thing is really unplayable. In 1988, the official exchange rate was still 6 rubles equal to one U.S. dollar. In 1991, 1 U.S. dollar was equal to 170 rubles. Such a terrifying exchange rate change? In 1995, 1 U.S. dollar was equal to 1 dollar.
4500 rubles.
Really, the appreciation of the Japanese yen compared with this is just childish and not worth mentioning.
but……
After being speechless for a while, he smiled and said, "The ruble risk is too great and it's not worth participating in. Let's forget it."
Let's just say that before the 1990s, Asan Ge borrowed tens of billions of rubles from Big Bear for loan support. According to the previous exchange rate, that was equivalent to nearly 20 billion U.S. dollars. But after the disintegration of Big Bear, the ruble plummeted and even the mother did not recognize it.
.
Mao Xiong asked Ah San to pay back the money, and Ah San paid back 11 billion rubles based on the exchange rate at that time. Compared with the benchmark exchange rate, it was not even worth 100 million US dollars.
But Ermao is not a vegetarian, and he backhandedly criticized Asan to teach him how to behave.
Zhao Donghuai felt that he could make a small amount of money steadily for a few years by transporting the livelihood supplies needed by various big bears. There was no need to offend a big gangster by making money in foreign exchange.
While they were joking and chatting like this, Guan Jiahui and Monica Bellucci came. When they grabbed a book (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) and asked curious questions, Zhao Donghuai smiled and said, "No hurry, wait a minute,
Let’s wait until Chris reads the script.”
All have come.
It's one thing to win the Hugo Award for (Source Code/Speed 2), but it's another thing to see if (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) can be nominated for a Hugo novel.
After all, one is a movie project and the other is a novel, there is no conflict at all.
On February 25th, he handed over the script of the two women to Kwan Jiahui, and now on April 23rd, it has been published long ago and has been on the market for 15 days.
However, it is still the same as before. In Hong Kong and South Korea, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone did not do much to promote it. They just put up a sign in the bookstore to say that the great writer Guan Jiahui has released a new work.
After 15 days, Haowan sold more than 200,000 copies in Hong Kong and more than 200,000 copies in South Korea.
Still in Europe and the United States, we mainly promote the great writer Monica Bellucci, and the promotion was much more explosive. So far, 1 million copies have been sold in North America and more than 1 million copies in Europe.
This kind of publishing model still requires a big media group to spend enough money on you to publicize it before it can achieve results. Let's wait, wait until the results in Europe and the United States explode for a while, and then we can vigorously promote it in East Asia and Southeast Asia.
After a while, when Chris, the big boss of the Global Science Fiction Association, finished reading the script, he came over with a look of amazement, "Mr. Zhao, William, this is a... a... How should I say, very exciting
A science fiction creative movie.”
"I feel that there is still hope for a Hugo Award. At least it won't be a big problem to be nominated for the Best Drama Presentation Award."
Director Zhao laughed and said, "Okay, thank you very much. I'll be waiting for your good news next year. By the way, this is a new magician novel from the author of the Twilight series and House of Cards. Do you think it won the best award?"
A chance at a Hugo Award for novel?”
Chris, “…”
He looked at the published novel and was a little confused. He could only look at William speechlessly. Again, he was not familiar with Zhao Donghuai and didn't know much about him. He just recognized William as the Asia Pacific CEO of Goldman Sachs Investment Bank.
, just came.
William smiled and patted Chris on the shoulder, "Chris, Zhao is the idol and savior of countless people. It's a great thing to be friends with him. Let's take a look and try it. How will you know if you don't try it?
?”
"Anyway, if you are willing to make this friend, you will definitely not regret it. You will only be glad that you made the right decision."
Chris was at a loss for dozens of seconds before nodding, "Okay, the novel is a bit long, can I take it back to the hotel and read it?"
Director Zhao nodded, "Okay, even if you can't win a trophy, it's good to get a nomination. The first film is just a nomination, and the next one or the one after that can win an award. It's a warm-up."
Chris was stunned by this decisive tone. He almost wanted to complain that you thought you were the one who won the Hugo Award?
However, worried about William's status, he still nodded with a smile, and walked away with William. After walking out of Zhao's Financial Building, Chris couldn't help but complain, "Sir William, who is that guy? This is also true.
That’s too crazy!”
William was happy, "Zhao is the God of Wealth. If you help him do this, I feel you can get a net profit of no less than ten million US dollars. It's legal, aboveboard, and not afraid of investigating anything. In this regard, the chairman of the Oscar Awards
The group is well-known by everyone.”
"Including the big judges at the Cannes International Film Festival..."
Chris' eyes widened instantly, "Really? I don't believe it?"
Fuck, are you so cool?? It’s everyone’s basic knowledge to run awards and so on. Whether it’s an Oscar, a Nobel, a Hugo, etc., everyone understands it.
But when it comes to competing for prizes, which judge can withstand such a test and challenge?
William had a look of disgust on his face, "Who are we? What's yours? How can I tease you with such a trivial matter? I can't afford to waste that time. Last year, I worked with Zhao and cut off the Japanese Nikkei Index during the 87 global stock market crash."
"Zhao made tens of billions of dollars, and I also made billions of dollars in one go."
Chris staggered and almost fell to the street. When he regained his balance, he looked back at the more than 30-story financial building, and then at William, who suddenly had a look of justice on his face, "That movie (Source Code) definitely has
The ability to win awards, that’s what I’m talking about!”
"This novel shouldn't be bad at all! It's normal for it to be nominated."
Wang Defake? If you encounter such a series of wealth gods and opportunities to make money, whoever fails to grasp it will be sorry for the green Franklin.
………………
About the same time, on the 32nd floor of the building, Guan Jiahui looked surprised and shocked, "Brother Huai, isn't it? Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone can win the Hugo Award? Isn't this too outrageous?"
"There was not enough publicity. Even some bookstores stated that it was a new work by Monica and I. Hong Kong Haowan only sold over 200,000 copies in 15 days. It was like a hit on the street. Even Ahong Publishing
None of the major idol drama novels can compare with it.”
"Can this win a Hugo Award??"
Even if she is just a writer who hires a gunman and copies the script according to the scenes, the number of words she writes is negligible. The most written words she writes are signatures, just signing her own name.
