    But then again, voting is still far away.  It's only mid-November now, the Christmas season has just begun, and the Oscars will be held on February 29 this year, which is still three months away.  Even if it is the first round of voting, there is still a distance. This year's first round of voting will probably be held after Christmas, which is more than a month ago.  However, it is better to prepare early than to prepare when voting is about to take place.

    Jia Hongjian and the others seemed to have plenty of time, but from Harvey Weinstein¡¯s point of view, time was not so abundant!  Why do you say that?  Because Weinstein knew that their film "Invasion" was not just aiming for the best foreign language film.  Otherwise, for a simple Best Foreign Language Film, would he be so angry that he would fight with Jia Hongjian and the others?  For such a film, he is at least aiming for awards such as Best Foreign Language Film, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Actor, etc.  At the Cannes Film Festival the previous summer, they had already won the Best Screenplay and Best Actress, and were also nominated for Best Actor. The Toronto film industry, as well as the Venice Film Festival, Berlin Film Festival, etc., this  The film has also won a lot of awards. It can be said that it has won overseas awards and is aiming for the Oscars!

    However, at such a time, their film was actually sniped by Jia Hongjian, how could he bear it?  How many Oscars did his production of "Chicago" win last year?  Best supporting actress, best editing, best art direction, best costume design, best film, best sound!  These are all earned, plus 8 nominations including Best Director!  It can be said that "Chicago" is Miramax and Harvey's most brilliant achievement at the Oscars!  They swept the Oscars!  But last year¡¯s overlord.  This year, we actually encountered such a thing and were actually blocked by Jia Hongjian and the others. How could anyone bear this?

    But if I can¡¯t bear it anymore, I have to bear it now!  From Harvey's point of view, Jia Hongjian's counterattack was quite powerful!  Especially when you calm down and think about what happened at Jia Hongjian's press conference, this is really a headache!  Originally, he wanted to cause trouble for Jia Hongjian, and let Jia Hongjian's yellow mud fall into his crotch, either one way or the other.  But who knew that Jia Hongjian would actually choose to lose tens of billions of dollars and demand an aboveboard approach!  At first, Harvey thought Jia Hongjian had lost a lot, and he laughed.  But if you think about it carefully, you can see that the situation has been reversed instantly!  For such a movie, it instantly won the favor of the whole society.  There won¡¯t be any negative news!  Even because Jia Hongjian gave up the tens of billions of dollars.  So if he was thinking of ways to hack Jia Hongjian later, such an act of giving up money would automatically help Jia Hongjian clear his name!  The media and the people will think that if they can give up tens of billions of dollars to prove their innocence, then it is forgivable to have other black spots. After all, they are sincere.  They have done things that ordinary people and even rich people cannot do.  How deep is people¡¯s love for movies?  For such a love, we can't be too demanding, right?

    What's more, Jia Hongjian also very wisely chose to link it with racial discrimination, anti-Chinese and anti-Semitic, etc., so that he can go on to make black.  It is easy for people to think that some people are racist, and some are black people who are making innuendo with racist thoughts!  This situation got so big that Miramax was eventually poached, and it really set him on fire!  So it can be said that with Jia Hongjian's approach, he suddenly became like a golden bell and an iron shirt, immune to all kinds of attacks!  An enemy like Harvey can't attack him!

    Not to mention, Harvey also heard that Jia Hongjian and the others started sending CDs, and the CDs also came with a sincere letter!  Although this letter said that members should not care about what the outside world says, but simply rate the movie based on its quality.  But in this way, Harvey felt that this was a deliberate attempt to manage his image!  This means saying not to take care of him, but in fact, I hope everyone will take care of him!  This is so bad!  And it also further blocked his route of hacking "cyber violence"!  This is how to do?  He won't be able to hack Jia Hongjian in the future, so what should he do?

    Harvey is not a person who gives up easily. He did not simply give up on Jia Hongjian, and he did not directly choose to compete with Jia Hongjian in terms of movie quality!  What he chose was a series of different approaches.  First of all, of course, they have to invite a large number of members to watch the film. They also sent a large number of DVDs of the Yangchun version to more than 6,000 members. After sending them, they also attached a letter to the DVDs.  In such a letter, he really stood by Jia Hongjian's side, as if he was in the same trench with Jia Hongjian, scolding the "bad guys" who had hacked Jia Hongjian!

    ¡°Anyway, no one knows that he did it, and now it¡¯s not the films in the five nominated lists that are competing for the final award. The first round of voting hasn¡¯t started yet, and there are so many competitors. Who can guess that it must be him?  So when he wrote this letter, he wanted to distance himself from him.??My own suspicion!  He just wants to save them from the possibility of being suspected and having their points deducted!  Then, in such a letter, they voluntarily agreed with Jia Hongjian's statement that movie voting should be based on the level of the movie itself. They shouted that the Oscars are film awards, and of course the Oscars should be voted on based on the level of the movie itself.  So they decided to hold information sessions for three months on the east and west coasts.  Every Saturday and Sunday, all members can call in advance to sign up as long as they are willing, and then come to Miramax's briefing session.  Miramax will bring the director, protagonists, etc. to talk with everyone in detail about their ideas during creation!

    Such a decision is a costly one!  But it has to be done!  Under the counterattack of Jia Hongjian and others, Jia Hongjian and his film received too many secret bonus points. Harvey knew that the first thing to do at this time was to prevent their own film from being  Points are deducted, and then points are added!  Not to mention whether we will be ahead of Jia Hongjian and others in their films, at least we can¡¯t be left too far behind!  Therefore, their approach is to try their best to attract the votes of 6,000 people, and try their best to appear that they themselves are decent people, and they are also the targets of all kinds of attacks and smears from the audience!  Anyway, it¡¯s better to fool the members and make them think that their "Barbaric Invasion" and "Cyber ??Violence" are both victims!  This is the thief's cry to catch the thief!

    However, this approach can only avoid being thrown away by Jia Hongjian and the others. How can he win?  Such a Weinstein is not a bland guy who just won't be thrown away. He is a well-known villain in Hollywood!  What do you call a villain?  On the one hand, he targets overseas movies, so he can even use deception!  On the one hand, I gave a deposit when purchasing, and said that I would sign a contract to acquire the copyright within a period of time. After driving away other competitors, this person suddenly stopped acquiring the copyright.  Just tell the original producer that the deposit of 100,000 to 200,000 US dollars will be given to you for free, and he doesn¡¯t want the film!  What do people do now?  I have to hurry up and say it¡¯s cheaper!  So he used this method to repeatedly raise high prices to drive away competitors, and then lower the prices to acquire them!  When this overseas filmmaker saw Weinstein, he just wanted to stab him to death with a knife!

    On the other hand, Weinstein also started the trend of small manufacturers winning awards!  As early as the 1990s, the Oscars used to be a cyst of various major studios. Only the kind of literary and commercial films could win various best pictures and so on.  But after Weinstein started making movies seriously in the 1990s, he discovered an easy way to win awards by making low-budget art films!  He used all kinds of off-market tricks, all kinds of underhanded competitors, all kinds of canvassing and publicity, and in more than ten years, he defeated countless big-name directors and producers!  Even if Jia Hongjian hadn't joined in such an era, then historically Weinstein's "Shakespeare in Love" would have defeated Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" and won the best picture award!  Such a Hollywood ruffian, who even bullied Spielberg in history, can he give Jia Hongjian face?  Can he admit defeat in front of Jia Hongjian?

    Soon, he thought of a good way!  Although it is said that Oscar has more than 6,000 members in total, you must know that Oscar members are actually lifelong!  It¡¯s not about how old you will be when you quit!  As we all know, Oscar¡¯s members are full of old men, with an average age of 50!  This does not mean that most people are around 50, there are many people who are in their 70s or 80s!  For example, in the suburbs of Los Angeles, there is a place called the "Oscar Nursing Home". It is a nursing home specially designed to serve veterans of the film industry. Everyone here is an Oscar member!  Although some of the old and newbies inside may have to rely on tubes to breathe and may not be able to take care of themselves, as long as they are alive, they have the right to vote!  When competing with Jia Hongjian and others, every vote is very important!

    So, Harvey Weinstein¡¯s best approach is to directly and considerately target members!  Aren't these old men in their seventies or eighties?  Then donate a little money to improve the food and other things for the old guys, and then send the main creators of the movie to the nursing home, help these old men and old ladies wipe their bodies with urine, hold symposiums with the old men, and talk about  How did they make such a movie?  Then let the creators and old ladies discuss the history of these Oscar veterans¡¯ ¡°shock-worthy¡± moments in front of the old ladies!  Don¡¯t old men and old ladies just do this?  Don¡¯t you just like to tell stories about your youth?  As long as they are made happy, won't the hundreds of votes from the elders be enough?  (To be continued)
