Chapter 233： Ask for a return

?

"The best foreign language film is..."

On the podium, Michael Douglas opened the envelope and handed it to Catherine Zeta Jones next to him. Catherine Zeta Jones took a look and said, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"

With applause, everyone looked at where Li Ang was.

Ang Li stood up, smiling from ear to ear, first hugged Xu Ligong next to him, and then hugged Ronan again.

"Thank you." Li Ang whispered to Ronan.

Ronan smiled and applauded, without saying much.

Ang Lee stepped onto the podium amidst applause. Ronan specifically glanced at Yu Jiaolong on the other table. After the Berlin Film Festival came on stage, this one had matured a bit and seemed to have no intention of keeping up.

If Yu Jiaolong followed, the audience would be in an uproar.

"Congratulations." Angela Lindevo said in Ronan's ear.

Ronan turned his head and smiled at her and said, "You should congratulate Director Li."

The camera lens turned around, Ronan could feel that the camera stopped on him for a while, it is estimated that Angela Lindevo attracted the attention of the live broadcaster.

In any case, Angela Lindevo is the hottest supermodel today, and the six blue blood and eight red blood are about to be gathered.

Ronan is a producer, and under normal circumstances no one pays much attention to the producer.

For example, gold medal producers such as Jerry Bruckheimer and Catherine Kennedy rarely show up in the media, journalists and paparazzi rarely pay attention to them, and related entertainment news is even rarer.

Mainly for the general public, the producers are not attractive.

Ang Lee won back a Golden Globe Award, and the morale of the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was greatly boosted and everyone was very excited.

Especially for those who come from China, to win an important award such as the Golden Globe Award is not just a simple recognition. There will soon be overwhelming publicity in the country, and fame will spread across the country in an instant.

Like Yujiaolong, it is already very popular. The higher the award season of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the more famous the international movie stars.

In fact, most of the fame of International Account comes from this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Ronan is also happy that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film and has completed the preliminary plan. He is also thinking in his mind that it is time to expand the North American screening.

Ideally, the crew can win another award.

Currently, there are two remaining awards that have not been awarded, Best Director and Best Feature Film.

George Cruise, who won the best actor in a musical comedy tonight, stepped onto the podium, said some jokes, molested a few friends, and started the routine awards session.

"The best director nominated..." George Clooney said quickly: "Ang Lee "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"; Steven Soderbergh "Never Compromise"; Ridley Scott " Gladiator; Estefan Sabo, "Sunny Lover"; Steven Soderbergh, "Drug Network."

Steven Soderbergh received a double nomination!

If Ronan remembers correctly, the best director of this year’s Oscars is also Steven Soderbergh. It seems that he won the award for "Drug Network". He also watched the movie "Drug Network". It is very distinctive. The line narrative, the most impressive is that an executive who vowed to fight drugs to the end, found that his daughter was addicted to drugs...

The winners were unexpected.

George Clooney announced the results: "The best director was "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", directed by Ang Lee!"

Ronan laughed instantly. It was great, it was really great. The hard work and hard work yielded fruit. It was really cool at this moment.

Although he was not the winner, Ronan couldn't help being excited. The North American copyright of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is completely in his hands. He has two heavyweight awards for Best Director and Best Foreign Language Film, even the Golden Globe Award. , Also enough to get a good harvest!

The money invested by Embassy Pictures will be multiplied back in the theaters!

If you count online and offline, it will even get back ten times!

The applause sounded again, Ronan shook hands with Li Ang and said, "Congratulations, Director Li."

Ang Li looked calm, with a decent smile on his face, but when Ronan shook hands with him, he could feel Li Ang's hand shaking a bit.

The work directed by Ang Lee has not been nominated for the Golden Globe and Oscar before, and he has also won the Best Director of the New York Film Critics Association, but it is the first time to win the Golden Globe for Best Director!

And it is especially important to his career.

"Riding with the Devil" was so miserable that Ang Lee's reputation in Hollywood was ruined. The Best Director of the Golden Globe Awards this time was enough to completely turn Ang Lee over.

Of course, Director Li Da has always been running on the broad road of death, success, death, and success.

The awards came to the end. The best feature film fell on "Gladiator". Ridley Scott's epic masterpiece won the heaviest award.

However, Ronan is very satisfied with the best director and best foreign language film of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Two heavyweight awards are enough to make "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" become the focus of the media before the Oscar nominations are announced!

Previously, Embassy Pictures and Zongheng International used money to hire the media for publicity.

Next, countless media will take the initiative to report on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", interviews or show invitations can make the crew soft.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony ended, but the guests in the banquet hall did not leave. They gathered together to eat and drink, and there was even more laughter around the winning crew.

"For success, cheers!" Ronan raised his glass and said loudly.

All the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" came to this table to drink together!

Although this is only a staged victory, it does not prevent the little one from celebrating.

Angela Lindevo celebrated with the crew members, as if she was one of them.

"Congratulations, Ronan." Angela Lindevo thought about it this time: "Congratulations on the release of a successful movie."

"Thank you." Ronan took a glass of champagne, clinked with Angela Lindevo, and drank it.

Angela Lindevo is just a taste of it. Alcohol is one of the natural enemies of the model. Self-disciplined supermodels will not get too much alcohol.

Ronan found Garcia Rodriguez and said, "Tomorrow morning, all executives of Embassy Pictures in Los Angeles will have a meeting."

Garcia nodded and said, "I have already notified, and now I will let someone send another text message to confirm."

The awards are received, but the trophy has little to do with the Embassy Pictures. How to turn the popularity and influence of the awards into actual market revenue is what the Embassy Pictures will do.

Eight million U.S. dollars in North American copyright buyouts, and nearly six million U.S. dollars have been invested in public relations and distribution. Embassy Pictures is not for charity, and of course it needs to ask for returns.

The banquet has not yet ended. Some people from the media have come over and want to do an exclusive interview for the crew as soon as possible. A person in charge of ABC TV even invited Ang Lee to bring the creative staff to "Good Morning America".

It is conceivable that the propaganda momentum behind "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will be even stronger.

Ronan also has a new understanding. Many people say that the Golden Globes are the weather vane of the Oscars. Perhaps it does not refer to the overlap of the two awards, but the publicity effect caused by the Golden Globe winners.

The overwhelming media reports will allow the winners to gain more attention from the Oscar judges, and even those who vote with their feet will give preference to familiar names.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the crowd in the banquet hall gradually dispersed, and Ronan took Angela Lindevo out of the hotel.

The January night was a bit cold. Before Ronan left the hotel, he took off his suit jacket and put it on Angela Lindevo.

Angela Lindevo enjoyed Ronan's meticulous care and responded with a bright smile.

The two got into the car, Ronan asked the driver to go to the hotel to see Angela Lindevo.

"If you are not busy with work in New York, you should spend a few more days in Los Angeles, right?" Ronan said, "Just as relaxed."

Angela Lindevo nodded and said, "I have five days off this time." She smiled and said, "The models are very busy, but I will stay in North America in my spare time."

Ronan said: "How do you feel tonight? The Hollywood awards ceremony is different from the fashion industry event?"

"Almost." Angela Lindevo said with a smile: "In fact, the two circles are very closely connected."

Ronan recognized this and said: "Movies and fashion have a lot of intersections, and many supermodels will make cameo appearances in movies."

Angela Lindevo said: "Is there a chance that I will also be a guest in your film?"

Ronan said quickly, "I can't ask for it. Angie, you can't go back on it."

Angela Lindevo joked: "Then you have to offer me a high salary."

"Okay." Ronan knew she was joking: "No problem."

While talking and laughing, the car stopped in front of the Four Seasons Hotel, the two got out of the car, Angela Lindevo walked into the hotel first, and Ronan followed.

Angela Lindevo took off her suit jacket and handed it to Ronan: "Go back and rest early."

Ronan took it, put it on his arm, didn't mean to leave, looked at Angela Lindevo's fox-like eyes, and said tentatively: "I'll take you up first."

Angela Lindevo looked at Ronan, hesitated a little, and finally nodded: "Okay, if you are not in a hurry, go to my place and sit for a while."

Ronan smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Angela Lindevo took Ronan’s arm, and the two entered the elevator together. The assistant who followed just entered the hotel and saw Ronan and Angela Lindevo go upstairs together and stopped immediately. .

"It's better to go up later." The assistant was very conscious: "How embarrassing to enter an elevator at this time."

A pair of handsome men and beautiful women, they look very good, what else can you do if you enter the same room in the hotel so late?

Ronan and Angela Lindevo took the elevator upstairs, walked through the secluded corridor, and came to a luxurious suite room. Angela Lindevo swiped his card to open the door and invited: "Come in, Ronan."
