World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"If it's for awards, then November or December is the best time to release it, so that you can catch up with next year's awards ceremony, whether it's the Golden Globes or the Oscars."

After Martin heard this, he thought about it and said this.

The matter has been settled, and as an agent, what he wants to think about is the follow-up, not the previous complaints. Moreover, Martin knows that he must not turn against Qin Dong.

"Golden Globe Award? Martin, I'm afraid this won't work. The movie Boss is a co-production, and it can win the Oscar at most."

Caesar heard this and questioned Martin's words.

"Caesar, what you said is indeed true, but CAA has a way to obtain qualifications. After all, Warner accounts for the cost and distribution of this film. North America still accounts for half of the staff and actors in the film."

Martin retorted with a smile.

Generally speaking, according to the rules, co-productions like "Gravity" are not eligible for the Golden Globe Awards. The Golden Globe Awards are local film awards in North America.

The Oscars are eligible because it is a film award for the global market. It is the same type as the three major European film festivals. Films from any country can apply for submission, but the Golden Globe Awards cannot.

"Okay, I'm talking too much."

Caesar smiled when he heard this.

Don't blame him for not understanding. Although he and Martin have been friends for many years, they are just friends.

As the boss of a small private film and television production company, Caesar is only a fringe figure in Hollywood. If he had known more connections, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is now.

Caesar is very ignorant about the real operations of the upper-level figures in the industry, and not knowing is the real gap in reality.

"Forget it, Martin, you don't need a Golden Globe, just aim for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language."

After listening to the conversation between the two people, Qin Dong thought about it and rejected Martin's kindness.

"WHAT? WHY?"

Martin was confused and didn't understand what Qin Dong was thinking.

This is an excellent proposal, and it will be very good for Qin Dong's reputation. Once he wins many awards, he will definitely become a global director in an instant.

"Martin, thank you for thinking so much, but this is a co-production, and I am the director of China. Have you ever noticed the results of films directed by China at the Oscars over the years?"

Qin Dong thanked him first, and then asked the other party.

"This... let me think about it..."

Martin frowned and thought deeply after hearing this.

If someone had asked him this question a few years ago, Martin would have simply shook his head and said he didn't know and didn't pay attention.

But because he signed the contract with Qin Dong, Martin paid a lot of attention to China's affairs, especially movies, and checked a lot of information.

"Qin, I remembered that there are Zhang and Chen in China who have been nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film several times, but they were only nominated and did not win. There is also AN LEE, who once won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

, relying on Chinese Kung Fu movies.”

Although he is old, Martin still has a good memory and quickly thought of it.

Just because these awards are so few, there are only a few, so very few Chinese films are outstanding in the world.

"That happened many years ago, Martin, so Gravity has to compete for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film."

"And the movie [Mad Max] that I just finished filming can be applied for the Golden Globe Awards, Oscars and even the three major European film festivals. This is a movie with all Hollywood actors, you know."

Qin Dong nodded, then stared at Martin with a serious face, putting pressure on him and letting Martin know what he was thinking at the moment.

As for An Lee, Qin Dong didn't say much and didn't want to explain what happened.

These are family matters, and the Chinese people all understand them, but they cannot be understood by foreigners, so Qin Dong is naturally too lazy to talk about it more.

"OK, Qin, I understand, CAA will help you with all the public relations."

Looking at Qin Dong's serious face, Martin understood and nodded in agreement.

"Also, I'm warning Harvey, this mad dog, if he dares to use any means during my film's award-winning process, I will sue him for bankruptcy and fight him to death."

Qin Dong changed his tone, thinking of the mad dog character who had the closest relationship with Oscar, and immediately mentioned it to Martin.

This bastard has slept with so many Hollywood female stars just by winning Oscars.

"Okay, Qin, I will contact Warner back, and the two parties will warn Harvey. If his mind is not full of shit, I think he will know what to do, just like he chose to do it in Meryl, Queen

Ting and Judy, these three people choose to remain silent on matters..."

Martin smiled and nodded when he heard this.

He doesn't think it's a difficult thing.

Harvey is indeed notorious, and he is also a troublemaker. Unfortunately, he hit Qin Dong and broke his head.

Three big Hollywood stars who followed Harvey's call and stood up for Harvey fell straight to the bottom and lost $200 million. Harvey's last choice in this matter was to remain silent. This is a man with brains who knows he can't do it.

When it came time, he retreated and directly killed three artists who stood up for him.

"You should discuss it with Warner. I hope that the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film early next year will be 100% mine. If you need money, just say hello to me at any time. I don't want any accidents. Understand, Martin, I don't think CAA will

Will it disappoint me?"

Qin Dong squinted his eyes and thought for a while, before giving one final warning.

Use strong demands to show your attitude that you must win the award.

In a word, if you need money and people, if you can't handle these things, then Qin Dong will definitely be cold-faced.

"Oh, Xie Te, Qin, you are really posing a problem for me. Otherwise, you will ignore the award for a few years, and you will win the prize as soon as you pay attention to it, Xie Te."

"It's September now, and it's still half a year before the Oscars are awarded on March 24 every year. But if you want to get publicity, your movie needs to be released, so I'll discuss it with Warner today and make it early, preferably on November 10th.

It will be released in February and cannot be postponed until next year. We must leave enough public relations time for the Oscars."

Martin cursed a few words angrily.

Qin Dong's request was overwhelming, but he only showed it deliberately and then analyzed it seriously immediately.

This is the position that the management company is in when meeting big-name artists.

When it comes to less famous artists, the management company is very strong, but when it comes to superstars and big directors, the management company is weak and has to act according to what the other person says.

"You don't need to tell me these things, Martin, you can just discuss it with Warner and let me know."

Qin Dong waved his hands, but didn't want to hear this.

"Oh, Chet..."

Martin expressed his attitude again speechlessly:

"Qin, your relationship with Oscar is not good now because of the lawsuit. You actually have many enemies and it's very difficult."

"When you threatened the Oscars, the big families behind the Oscars chose to back down and tolerate in order to preserve the reputation of the Oscars in the world. This made it dozens of times more difficult for CAA to win the Best Foreign Language Film Award."

Martin had to complain and let Qin Dong realize the power of CAA. The premise is that public relations is difficult. Only success under such circumstances can show the power of CAA.

So Barabara brought up the old things again.

"Oh, I admit all of this. So, Martin, now is your time to show the strength of CAA. Let me see the strength of the world's number one agency."

After Qin Dong listened with a smile, he complimented CAA smoothly, as if it was up to you.

Just listen to some complaints. Adults with some experience will understand what the other party is thinking.

This is like a person going to a relative who is an official to ask for help. This relative can obviously handle the matter because he is an official, but the official will say that it is a bit difficult to handle, and then wait until he asks for help in every possible way.

He reluctantly agreed, but then he would not do it right away, but would drag it left and right for a long time before it could be done. It looked like he had worked hard and spent a lot of favors to get it done.

"Hey..."

Martin smiled silently.

They are all the art of chatting that all adults understand.

The scene became quiet. Martin and Qin Dong were both leaning on the sofa and thinking about something. However, Caesar was silent. He didn't have the ability and couldn't get a word in.

"Qin, Warner and I are the main players in this matter, but if you want to win the award 100%, I think you need to make some efforts here."

After a long time, Martin suddenly spoke.

"Oh, tell me."

Qin Dong opened his eyes and asked, since Martin said this, he must have thought comprehensively.

"Nicolas Cage has a very good relationship with you now. He has been eliminated by Hollywood. No one asked him to make movies, and you gave him a chance to stand up again. Compared with your relationship with Nicolas, although Nicolas

Gula is a CAA artist, but your words are more effective."

Martin did not say anything directly, but said a name that surprised Qin Dong.

"Nicolas?...The Coppola family?"

Qin Dong frowned slightly when he heard this. After pondering for a moment, he thought of the relationship. Why did Martin mention this person? Thinking of Nicholas's background, Qin Dong immediately asked.

"Yes, the reputation and background of the Coppola family, although their control over Oscars is far less than that of the Douglas family, director Francis Ford Coppola is a world-famous director, and his energy is definitely far beyond your imagination. If you

If we can persuade Nicholas to talk to his uncle Francis, our success rate will greatly increase."

Martin nodded, knowing that this Chinese director with strong emotional intelligence would understand his intention.

He smiled and elaborated on his thoughts and introduced the capabilities of the Coppola family in Hollywood in North America.

"Director Coppola, Nicholas...ok, Martin, I will try it. As for the result, I cannot guarantee it."

Qin Dong pondered for a moment and agreed, but he didn't say die.

Because the thinking of foreigners is different from that of Chinese people, although Qin Dong and Nicholas have a good relationship at the moment and are friends.

If they are Chinese, and they are friends, Qin Dong guarantees that the other party will agree, but foreigners' thoughts, thinking and doing things are completely different from Chinese people sometimes. This is hard to explain.

"I hope it will be a good result, and Michael Douglas, this person also needs some help from Qin."

Martin also knew that it was difficult to say accurately, so the topic changed and he mentioned a person again.

"Tell me more specifically..."

Qin Dong knew about this name, but he didn't know what Martin wanted him to do.

"Michael married a wife with a very different age, named Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is also an actress."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Before Martin could finish speaking, Qin Dong interrupted him.

The sudden mention of someone else's wife made Qin Dong think twice.

Caesar, who had been a listener next to him, also looked at Martin with wide eyes, an incredible expression.

There may be little outside coverage about his boss's affairs regarding women, but Caesar, who is friends with Martin and also works under Qin, is well-connected.

Is this asking for help, or is it adding fuel to the fire? Caesar is now wondering if Martin said the wrong thing.

"Oh, Shet, what do you two look like? Why can't you wait for me to finish?"

Martin saw the expressions of Qin Dong and Caesar and knew that these two people were thinking wrongly, so he complained speechlessly.

"Haha, you said..."

Qin Dong smiled awkwardly, I don't blame him for thinking wrongly.

Didn't you notice that Caesar next to you was thinking too much? When someone suddenly mentions his wife, everyone can't help but think wrong.

"Michael loves Catherine Zeta-Jones very much, and Michael is not big-minded, so he controls Catherine very well. He will not let his wife go out to be an actress if he can. There was once a new actor in the early 2000s, because he was with

Catherine Zeta-Jones starred in a movie, had a scandal, and was directly suppressed. Besides, this woman is much older than you, how could I let you do those things."

"There is a big age difference between Michael and Catherine, and Catherine Zeta-Jones is famous for spending money. Unfortunately, whether it is Michael or Catherine, the Douglas family behind them can have energy at the Oscars, but when it comes to remuneration,

But nothing can be done about it, so Michael is now almost 70 years old and still has to appear in movies to earn money to support his wife, who is much younger than him."

"CAA will find Michael and promise to help him win movie contracts, but if Qin, you can give Michael an important supporting role in your future movies to ease the friction between you and the Douglas family due to the lawsuit,

This will definitely help you win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film."

Martin first angrily explained the misunderstood ideas of the two people, and then put forward his own ideas.

"You told me earlier, your words were very misleading...Okay, this is no problem, I agree."

Qin Dong laughed awkwardly and complained, then nodded and agreed.

A mere supporting role was given to anyone. This matter was much simpler than looking for the Coppola family. Qin Dong nodded directly without hesitation or even thinking about it.
