Sure enough, just a few days after Yang Ming returned to Fuzhou to be with his family, Barber's call came. + Xiao,...o

"Yang, the PR over there for the Oscar selection can start." Barber's voice was full of excitement.

When Yang Ming heard Barber's voice, he could imagine Barber's excitement and anticipation on the other end of the phone. As the former head of a Hollywood giant, no one understands the symbolic significance of Oscars in Hollywood better than Barber, and the impact it brings.

interests.

If the films of Hollywood's Oriental DreamWorks can gain some Oscars and win some awards, then these will be simply a symbol of glory for Barbour, who was forced to leave Pan American Entertainment by Coakley.

This is also Barber's return statement to prove himself to be the best in Hollywood.

But Yang Ming knew how difficult all this was. He sighed quietly in his heart and said: "Mr. Barber, do you think our Oriental DreamWorks has the ability to win an Oscar at the moment?"

"Why not? Not to mention "2012", these two movies "Die Hard" and "Taken" can give it a try." Barbour's tone is full of incomparable confidence, which shows that in his mind, this year's Oscar

, Hollywood Oriental DreamWorks will definitely be on the list.

"This has nothing to do with strength, but with power!" Yang Ming couldn't help but say. No matter in his previous life or in this life, no one knows the rules of the Oscars better than him. Even if he has not experienced these in his previous life, those in the Chinese entertainment industry

Blood and tears are ironclad evidence.

As far as he knows, even in this world, there are only a handful of Chinese films that can win Oscars, and most of them are insignificant awards.

This is like a Hollywood blockbuster trying to win the Golden Dragon Award.

It's harder than climbing to the sky.

At this time, Barber finally had some reaction to Yang Ming's words. He also realized that Yang Ming was not optimistic about the Oscar selection. He couldn't help but said with a hint of doubt: "Yang, do you have a different opinion?"

Yang Ming thought for a while and decided not to hide it anymore, and said directly: "I think in the history of the Oscars, there are very few non-Hollywood movies that can win the award!"

At this point, he paused and then continued: "Besides, I am still Chinese!"

When Barber heard Yang Ming's last words, his whole heart froze, and he suddenly woke up and understood the meaning of Yang Ming's words.

He is originally the head of a Hollywood giant, and is naturally very familiar with the rules of Hollywood, especially the unclear relationship between the Oscars and Hollywood.

It can be said that the Oscars are a star-making tool launched by Hollywood, a tool specifically used to create stars for Hollywood and add various bright halos.

In this case, how could the Oscars share the cake with forces that do not belong to Hollywood?

This is simply impossible.

Although Hollywood's Oriental DreamWorks was established by acquiring Alliance Pictures, how could the giants in Hollywood not know the foundation of Oriental DreamWorks?

Therefore, whether Yang Ming himself or Hollywood Oriental DreamWorks has achieved something, this is a very difficult thing.

At the same time, artists affiliated with Hollywood Oriental DreamWorks are also likely to be affected.

Barber had been blinded by the aura of the Oscars before. Whenever he thought of Oriental DreamWorks' success at the Oscars, all the people who wanted to watch his show would shut their mouths tightly. When he was excited, he

Didn't think about the Oscar rules.

He can be very sure that neither Pan American Entertainment nor other Hollywood giants are willing to allocate the Oscar cake to Oriental DreamWorks and Yang Ming.

"Alas!" Barber sighed in a somewhat disappointed mood. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. As long as he thought about his wish being ruthlessly broken, his heart couldn't help but be filled with disappointment and helplessness.

Yang Ming heard Barber's sigh and knew that the other party must be feeling uncomfortable now. He could also understand Barber's mood. However, he was a little surprised that Barber didn't insist on trying.

Originally, he thought that Barber would not be able to help but offer to give it a try, but now Barber's attitude obviously means that he knows that it cannot be done and will not waste the company's funds and connections.

"Mr. Barber, there is no need to be so pessimistic, there is still a chance." Yang Ming suddenly said with a mysterious smile.

"Oh? Do you have any other ideas?" Barber asked with a perked up expression after hearing this. He knew that Yang Ming's thinking was quite jumpy and he would often think of ways that others could not think of.

Yang Ming thought for a while and said: "This idea is not mature yet, and I couldn't explain it clearly on the phone. I'll talk about it in the United States in a few days. In addition, although "2012" is now released, don't relax the promotion over there, and you have to

Increase publicity efforts.”

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Barber's mood had returned to normal at this time and he said relaxedly.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Ming held the phone with his eyes deep, thinking about something.

After all, the Academy Awards is one of the three major film awards in the world. The superficial fairness still needs to be maintained. Although Hollywood Oriental DreamWorks is an asset of Yang Ming, in the final analysis it was acquired by Connection Film Company and registered in the United States.

The company cannot be too specific towards Hollywood Oriental DreamWorks.

Moreover, sometimes when a movie becomes a phenomenon and has huge influence and reputation among the public, even if Oscar and Hollywood want to exclude Oriental DreamWorks, it will be a very difficult thing.

In fact, Yang Ming could guess now that the Oscar organizing committee must be very troubled by Oriental DreamWorks.

Neither beating nor scolding is acceptable!

"Hehe!" Thinking of this, Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh proudly. The only thing he had to do now was to burn the fire even brighter.

At his core, Yang Ming's character is that of a simple and rough type. He is not good at cooking, but he is good at overturning tables.

If he is not allowed to eat the cake, then everyone will stop eating it.

Now with his wealth and status, he is capable of doing this kind of thing.

Yang Ming returned to his hometown in Fuzhou for a few days and received New Year greeting text messages one after another. Many of them were well-known bosses and superstars in the Chinese entertainment industry.

It can be seen that the global influence of "2012" has made Oriental DreamWorks different in the minds of everyone in the entertainment industry.

If you look at the current popularity and worth of Yang Chaowei and Zhou Meiling in China, you will know the impact "2012", a movie produced by Oriental DreamWorks, has had on the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

"2012" was screened around the world for one week, breaking several box office records and dominating the box office rankings in several countries. Coupled with the heated social discussions brought about by the end of the world, all the actors who participated in the film became household names.

star.

Needless to say, Yang Chaowei and Zhou Meiling were originally first-line stars in the entertainment industry, and they were also Golden Dragon Award-level actors. Their acting careers have almost come to an end, but now through the movie "2012", they have become a couple in one fell swoop.

International star level existence.

Whether it is their net worth or the choice of advertisers, they have benefited a lot.

At least, now that Yang Ming has heard that the salary in China is less than 50 million yuan, he can't even think of inviting Yang Chaowei to be the protagonist of the movie. In the Chinese entertainment industry, although the salary of 50 million yuan is slightly different from the 20 million yuan in Hollywood, it is still

Pretty much.

However, Yang Chaowei's previous salary was only around 30 million, which almost doubled immediately. This shows the influence that "2012" had on Yang Chaowei after its popularity.

Zhou Meiling is in a similar situation, and the two of them are now favored by major international brand advertisers, who have invited the couple to participate in advertising shoots.

Participating in the advertising production of international brands will greatly improve both revenue and image.

Through "2012", Yang Chaowei and Zhou Meiling took their already peak acting careers to a higher level and became the envy of everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry.

In addition to Yang Chaowei and Zhou Meiling, Hollywood's Manx who participated in this movie also gained a lot.

After "2012" became the number one movie in the box office rankings in the United States, Manx's salary officially exceeded 20 million yuan, and various film contracts came one after another, and he was even more reluctant to accept them.

The other actors who participated in this film also gained tremendously.

Mr. Cao, who plays the role of the president, is a veteran actor in the Chinese entertainment industry. Through his superb acting skills in movies, his acting career has begun a second spring.

Yang Ming learned that in just a few days, this veteran actor had received several important film roles, as well as invitations from many domestic first-tier TV stations.

Whether it is Teacher Cao or other actors, it can be said that through the movie "2012", their respective popularity has become extremely popular and they have become sought after in the domestic and foreign entertainment circles.

However, the most outstanding one is Yang Ming’s sister Tongtong.

With the image of an angel, cute temperament, and playful personality, Tongtong suddenly became a well-known child star in China and even the world with the image of her daughter in the movie.

In particular, Tongtong's innocent, noble and elegant temperament has captured the love of countless mothers, who all want to have such a lovely daughter.

In entertainment news, online forums, and TV shows, Tongtong became the focus of countless media reports, almost stealing the limelight from director Yang Ming, which also made him have to lament the charm of his sister.

If it weren't for Yang Xiangming and Li Qiumei's obstruction, Tongtong would probably be like Yang Chaowei and Zhou Meiling now, counting money until her hands get cramps, and her hands become weak when taking scenes.

But neither her parents nor Yang Ming himself wanted Tongtong to enter the entertainment industry, at least at such a young age.

After discussing with her parents and soliciting Tongtong's own opinions, Yang Ming selected several positive advertising shooting contracts for big brands for Tongtong.

The workload of shooting commercials is not heavy, and it can also satisfy Tongtong's curiosity about acting.

In the past two days, Yang Ming's parents are still lamenting that the money they earned in their previous lives was not as good as the salary from several commercials their daughter shot!

Sometimes, things are so unpredictable.

After Yang Ming spent a few days with his parents in Fuzhou, he went to Guangdong with his family to pay New Year greetings to his newly recognized grandfather.

When he first arrived in Guangdong, before he could go to his grandfather's house, he was taken away by Wu Yuanzhi, who said he wanted to report on the work of Phoenix TV this year.

After a year of development, Phoenix TV has gradually stopped its crazy expansion and begun to slowly consolidate its advantages. At the same time, Wu Yuanzhi also began to train and adjust internal staff to eliminate the bad and retain the good.

After all, Phoenix TV was built from scratch. During this period, it not only poached people from major TV stations, but also recruited many people.

There are definitely pros and cons coexisting, and now is the time to adjust the team.

When Yang Ming heard Wu Yuanzhi's work plan for the new year, he nodded in agreement. He had a relatively clear understanding of the current situation of Phoenix TV.

Now is the time to tidy things up internally.

An unstable foundation is very detrimental to the development of Phoenix TV, especially for a new company.

Fortunately, Wu Yuanzhi has more than ten years of working experience in Guangdong TV Station, and has a clear understanding of issues in this area, and does not blindly expand. He will wait until internal adjustments are made before continuing to move forward.

What also makes Yang Ming excited is that after this year's development, Phoenix TV finally broke even and started to make a profit.

In other words, he will not need to spend money from outside to maintain the expansion of Phoenix TV Station.

Now Phoenix TV has its own flagship program in every time period, and the ratings are very good. This is also what Yang Ming expected. After all, in order to make Phoenix TV a hit and expand as quickly as possible, he had many classic programs from his previous life.
