Chapter 226

"Flying around," Lina whispered, "The action design is beautiful and beautiful."

She thought about it and added: "It's like dancing."

Li Zi lowered her voice and said, "The action design is very distinctive."

Speaking of which, he is also a die-hard movie fan. He has watched many movies and has some analytical skills.

After Yu Jiaolong's first battle scene with Yu Xiulian on the eaves after stealing the sword, the three-minute action paragraph fully highlights the martial arts and character characteristics of the two characters.

Yu Jiaolong's light skills are better than Yu Xiulian, while the ground movements are not Yu Xiulian's opponent.

So Yu Xiulian tried hard to drag Yu Jiaolong to the ground, and her strategy was: "Come down!"

Yu Jiaolong flew up gracefully, Yu Xiulian's slightly clumsy pursuit but powerful confrontation just showed Yu Jiaolong's lightness, elegance, and ambitiousness, Yu Xiulian's simplicity and honesty, down-to-earth.

"Which company released this film?" Li Zi was a little curious: "I have a good vision."

The fight scene ended, and Li Zi found a blonde white man next to her and was very excited, muttering: "This science fiction film is so awesome!"

Science fiction movie? What the hell? Li Zi's head was covered in black instantly.

Li Zi looked carefully and found that the ghosts nearby were watching movies seriously. Didn’t they say that ghosts don’t like watching subtitles? Can they understand the lines? Can they understand this movie?

Ronan never worried that American audiences would not understand.

This movie is a big health care... No, it is a tragedy caused by the Great Sword.

It is said that there is a peerless magic weapon called Qingming Sword. The Wudang Sect hero Li Mubai wanted to retreat to the world. He used this sword that had been with him for many years and had countless first-blooded ones, and entrusted Yu Xiulian, the head of his old friend Xiongyuan Escort Agency, to show his determination to retreat.

But the big sword that had been stained with countless blood was so attractive. Yu Jiaolong was so hungry that he decided to steal the sword and use it for himself. As a result, a big sword caused the storm and world. Perhaps the sword had its own blood stained. The blue-eyed fox, Yu Xiulian and others were obsessed with the sword, which led to a love, hatred and hatred.

This film fully reflects the dangers of the Great Sword and also provides theoretical basis and practical cases for the subsequent ban on the Great Sword.

The person who played the Great Sword in the film, Li Mubai died and Yu Jiaolong died.

What does this mean? The great sword is extremely harmful and can kill people at any time.

During the screening, each longer martial arts scene received warm applause from the audience after the end.

The excitement continued until the end credits started, and the spotlight fell on Ang Lee at this time, and he still had a shy and gentle smile.

When the subtitles were lit with the name of the martial arts director Yuan Heping, Luo Nan stood up, opened his hand and signaled the audience to applaud Ang Lee. The audience stood up and ovated for several minutes.

Compared with the more implicit Ang Lee, Ronan's style is more ostentatious.

This is also a need for publicity.

After the premiere, there was a press conference, which was the moment when the crew's main creators performed. Ronan asked David Villa to accompany him to participate, and all other personnel in the company retreated.

Although he has been busy looking for projects, attracting investment and discussing copyrights and other extremely important tasks, Ronan has also paid attention to the Embassy Film Company. In order to release "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the entire company has invested far more time and energy than "Human Purge Plan 2".

After all, it has successfully released several horror thriller movies, and the release of "Human Purge 2" is also a familiar sight. The awards season awards are the first time for Embassy Films.

Ronan asked the Embassy Film staff to go back and have a good night's sleep, and the next morning there will be a meeting.

The release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also marked the first Oscar competition for Embassy Films to reach the most critical sprint stage.

Not to mention the crew's main creator and the promotional staff of the Embassy Film Industry, even Ronan has turned his energy to the Oscars.

On December 30 every year, the School of Film Arts and Sciences will mail out the nomination tickets for all the college members and recycle them a week before the nomination list is announced. Whether the nominations can be obtained and thus obtain a key Oscar ticket is very critical. The remaining more than one month is very critical.

In the conference room of the Embassy Film Industry, Ronan finally integrated all aspects of publicity and public relations work.

Ronan looked at Garcia Rodriguez, the direct person in charge, and said: "First of all, there is a film scheduling meeting. From tomorrow, you will organize more than five film scheduling meetings with the producers, invite members of the academy to watch it, and hire critics to praise the film..."

"There are also various publicity activities, media public relations and public relations banquets." Ronan tried to say simply, "In short, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Ann Li Yuan should not be allowed to leave the media, film critics and Oscar judges' eyes."

Garcia Rodriguez immediately responded, even though he knew that it was much more troublesome to do than Ronan said.

This is not over yet, Ronan continued, "Public relations are not only for the Oscars, but also for the pre-Oscar vane awards, including the Golden Globe Awards, focusing on the Producers League Awards and major union awards, which can increase the chance of nominations and even winning."

Garcia Rodriguez looked down at the list. The outposts of the awards season were numerous, the American Film Independence Spirit Award, the New York Film Critics Association Award, the Gotham Film Critics Association Award, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, the Producers League Award, the Directors Union Award…”

Of course Ronan knew that Oscar public relations was very troublesome, but Embassy Films was ready.

“The Golden Globes and Union Awards are the focus.”

Ronan picked up the water cup and took a big sip. "If we can get the nomination for the Golden Globes and union awards, plus some necessary public relations methods, we can at least guarantee the nomination for the Oscar for the Best Foreign Language Film of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"Leave this to me," said Garcia Rodriguez. "I promise there won't be any problems."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Let's talk to Zongheng International, so that the producers can work harder. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has gained something at the Oscars and has also had a great boost to the market outside North America."

The only thing Embassy Films has obtained is the North American distribution rights.

An executive responsible for direct communication with Zongheng International responded: "Zongheng International has mobilized $500,000 and will be invested in publicity before the Oscar nomination."

"Very good." Ronan nodded to the supervisor and said, "Your next job is to lobby them to invest more money in the Oscars."

The supervisor replied: "Yes."

Ronan said again: "I will take time to talk to these two people as soon as possible." He asked instead: "Where are our competitors? What are the competitive videos?"

Thomas, director of the theater distribution department, said: "According to the news that Mexican director Arisandro Inarido's "Love is a Bastard", the Czech film "Don't Go Way", and the Belgian film "Everyone Fame" have all applied for the best foreign language films."

Ronan asked: "There are few reports on these videos in the media? I hardly have seen them."

Thomas replied: "These videos have limited investment in PR publicity, and the distribution company is worried that they will not be able to recover their costs after they invest too much."

Oscars do have a pulling effect, but there is always a limit. If you invest too much, it is not uncommon to lose money.

Ronan is more confident. After all, the competition for the best foreign language film is far worse than awards such as Best Director and Best Picture.

If you can get nominations for the last two awards, you will be a winner.

The meeting ended and everyone else left, and at Ronan's hint, Garcia Rodriguez stayed.

There were only two of them left in the conference room, and there were not so many concerns when talking about some secret matters.

"How is the work done by the film critic?" Ronan asked.

Garcia Rodriguez whispered: "We have sent all the feelings we should express. However, some people replied that if the video is not good enough, they will still scold them."

Ronan said: "It doesn't matter, we can't buy public opinion, it's too difficult."

"I believe that critics who like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will not be stingy with praise." Garcia Rodriguez is still confident in this: "People who don't like will also be a little more tactful when criticizing."

Facts have proved that the Embassy Film Industry has done a very good job. One day after the premiere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", comments from major media and film critics were released, and most of them were positive reviews. Even if there were bad reviews, they were not particularly sharp-tongued.

Many of these critics were not public relations from Embassy Pictures, but the film still won their praise.

Avis Michel, a full-time film critic of the New York Times, was deeply amazed at the results of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" perfectly combining multiple genres. The next day after watching it, she praised it in the newspaper's movie review column: "The feature of action films is that they hit the screen with their vigorous vitality and a large number of actions, and Mr. Lee created a crystal clear surface meaning, injecting this type of film into a new horizon and depth, which is unique in previous movies of the same type."

Todd McCarthy, the critic of "Hollywood Reporter", commented in the column: "And Lee shows Martin Scorsese's technique and Steven Spielberg's style. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not only the best kung fu film in history, but also a romantic film with Jane Austen's literary style, not only a movie, but also an art!"

Under the activities of Embassy Film Corporation, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became one of the most common names in the film media for a time.

After Ronan said hello, Tom Cruise also mentioned the video specifically in the interview.
