The entire hotel was extremely quiet, with only the voice of the film festival chairman Pierce Handerlin floating around.

After almost thirty seconds, applause rang out!

First, the crew of "Dallas" scattered applause, and then most of the people present applauded.

The entire crew of "Twelve Years of Slave" was a bit dull, especially director Steve McQueen and several producers, including Brad Pitt, looked at each other and then had to applaud.

The same sentence is still the case, the intention of "Twelve Years of Slave" is too obvious.

What many people want to see is still movies like "Dallas"!

“Dallas Buyer Club”?

Many of the filmmakers present who were determined to win the grand prize in "Twelve Years of Slave" were a little stunned, "How is this possible?"

“yes!”

Chen Lin was already full of joy. He knew that the strategy he and Bill had already worked!

Immediately got up and walked to the hotel to set up the podium.

In addition to the Oscars, the highest awards in most film festivals around the world are awarded to directors!

His speed was very fast, and his mind was also running.

Walking onto the stage, throwing all these behind your head, Chen Lin stood behind the microphone: "Thank you, thank you Toronto!"

Although he won the grand prize, there were no trophys.

Chen Lin is not ready to make a long speech, and time does not allow it. "Thank you, the touchstone studio, and thank everyone in the crew of "Dallas Buyer Club"! It is of great significance to me to win the People's Choice Award!"

He thought for a while and continued, "Borrow a line from the movie, 'Sometimes I want to be someone else, sometimes I feel like I'm struggling for another life that I can't enjoy, so I hope it will be valuable!' This is exactly what I'm shooting this movie!"

After winning the People's Choice Award, at least in the Oscar outpost, "Dallas Buyer Club" won "Twelve Years of Slave"!

Standing on the podium, Chen Lin clearly saw Steve McQueen's face full of doubts and disdain, but who cares about the thoughts of the losers?

Chen Lin is very clear that the winning odds of "Dallas" are obviously higher in this Oscar!

...

"Dallas Buyer Club" won the People's Choice Award.

Mainstream media in North America have used words such as "unpopular" and "upset" to describe the most important awards at the Toronto Film Festival.

No matter what, Chen Lin's choice will be an irreversible result.

On the day after the Toronto Film Festival closed, Chen Lin had already returned to California.

"Dallas Buyer Club" won the People's Choice Award and created a huge momentum. Film manufacturers from many countries and regions have come to the touchstone to introduce this film.

There are nearly two months left before the release of "Dallas Buyer Club" in North America - this is the general release rule of the Olympic movies, released around Thanksgiving!

However, Touchstone has negotiated with merchants from many countries. In just over a week, more than 30 countries and regions have signed formal contracts with Touchstone.

In addition, Disney itself has strong overseas market capabilities, the film "Dallas Buyer Club" will appear in theater markets in at least 80 countries and regions.

Enough to ensure that the film will have world-class influence.

Of course, Chen Lin and the Touchstone must first ensure that "Dallas Buyer Club" can attract strong attention in the North American market.

Until now, most movies must first make a big splash in the North American market, and then in the overseas market, which can cause a sensation, and at least ignite the film market in the Western world.

...

"Chen Lin, I'm sorry to notify you. I guess your name will not be included in this best director nomination."

Bill Dorothy looked at Chen Lin with some embarrassment.

Chen Lin almost sprayed the coffee: "Me? Best Director?"

"Bill, I'm only twenty-five years old this year! Not to mention other factors, do you think the college will award the best director to a doll director from the other side?"

Don't joke, don't say that he is Chinese, even if he is Jewish, the best director Xiao Jinren doesn't have to think about it before he was thirty.

"The chance of winning is of course very small, but it is still possible to get a nomination."

"Nominations are optional for me. If they are really nominated, they will affect the competition among other options!" Chen Lin certainly didn't think so in his heart, but "Dallas" does not test the director's skills very much.

"You mean the Actor Award and the Best Picture Award?"

"Yes, after all, I still have to film Interstellar, so it's hard to distract myself..."

"Shen Lin, you must end the filming of "Interstellar" as soon as possible, because the subsequent PR requires you to attend every show, various publicity activities, public relations parties and public relations banquets." Bill tried his best to tell the story.

"Anyway, you can't stay away from the sight of the media, critics and Oscar judges, and you can't stay on the set without showing up!"

Hearing this, Chen Lin was already rubbing his forehead.

He knew that it was far more troublesome to do than he heard now!

That's not over yet, Bill continued, "not only for Oscars, but also for pre-season awards, which can increase the chances of nominations and even winning."

"I know this, major film critic associations!"

After all, Chen Lin has been in Hollywood for a while and still has a certain understanding of Olympics.

Bill Dorothy saw Chen Lin's indifferent look on his face and smiled and took out a piece of information from his bag: "Haha, I only talk about the main things: the American Film Independence Spirit Award, the New York Film Critics Association Award, the Gotham Film Critics Association Award, the Washington Film Critics Association Award, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, the Chicago Film Critics Association Award, the Boston Film Critics Association Award, the American Film Association Award, the Producers League Award, the Directors Association Award..."

"I'll go! So much?"

“The Critics Award and the Union Award are the focus.”

After saying this long list, Bill picked up the coffee and took a big sip. "If he could get nominations from the three major film critic associations and trade unions, plus some necessary public relations methods, the best film should be 80% likely!"

"Bill, I don't have time. I can guarantee that the filming of Interstellar is completed in two months, but I can't guarantee domestic affairs!"

"Okay, but according to your directorial agreement... important PR parties and PR events you have to attend."

"Of course this is fine!" Chen Lin nodded.

I think that compared to the big string just now, the necessary activities are not too many, and it will not involve too much energy.

"By the way, Chen Lin, if you want to get the nomination for the best director, we have a way..."

He said nothing badly. Bill seemed to have thought of something, but his tone was still hiding.

"What's the solution?"

Chen Lin asked curiously.

"Do you know Louis Wilson?"

Chen Lin simply shook his head, and Bill explained in detail, "She is a member of the academy and a judge of the Oscars, and a member of the producers' league. She is a good player in relationships and has a close relationship with many core academy members, which can affect their choices. If she can understand her relationship, you are likely to be nominated for the best director!"

“What do I need to do?”

Of course, Chen Lin still hopes to be nominated for the best director, which is very helpful for improving his or her personality.

"She has a hobby." Bill hesitated for a moment, but continued: "She likes the well-known men in this circle. Simply put, she has a fetish of stamp collecting."
