”Hi, Mr. Robert, this is Lyman Rast. Can I have the honor to invite you to a private party? Just tonight.”
When Robert Jerry received a call from Lehman, he didn't seem surprised. He was the judge of Oscars with the right to select the best film. He had votes in his hand. It was that simple.
”Meeting with the judges in private is a taboo. I don't think you should call me at this time. If it is normal, I think I will be happy.”
When Lehman got the relevant information from Kevin Hoween, he was fully prepared, “Please don’t get me wrong, I’m calling this call, just hoping to get to know Mr. Robert. Strangers and strangers build friendship, always It takes someone to take a step first, doesn't it?”
Robert laughed softly: ”Of course, I agree with you.”
”So, see you tonight?”
”see you tonight......”
Although it is expressly stipulated in the Oscar selection rules, participating films and crew members are not allowed to contact the judges in any form privately, and it is not allowed to recommend their own works in any way, even by phone or email.Once verified, they will be disqualified from running for Oscar.
However, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.
The judges are also ordinary people, they will also have social activities, this, you can't ban it.
Is there anyone who stipulates that Oscar judges cannot have a private life?
My friend held a party on his birthday, and then happened to meet a member of the crew of a popular movie at the party. We chatted with each other.Does this violate the regulations?
Obviously not, such loopholes in the rules are a must-have for every public relations team, and they are also proficient in playing.
Inviting judges like Robert to appear at private parties is also as friends.
......
”Kevin, I'm very happy to see you again. Didn't Brian come?”
”Robert Jerry. Oh, the last time we met was last year. I've been in good health recently, and I can still walk around twice.”
”Hi, Director Lyman, how are you.”
”Friend, long time no see.”
”Just call me Lyman.”
”Hello, Lyman.”
”I like your work very much and have a very good idea.”
”Thank you......”
Borrowing Kevin Hoween’s luxurious manor in Beverly Hills, they started their first canvassing activity one evening in early February.
Before the real communication, he also prepared exquisite food and some delicious wine.
Lehman, George, Kevin Howen, Johnson, Ryan, Thomas...The team members are like flowers and butterflies, and they circulate among the judges, and give gentle smiles and sincerity to every guest present. Greetings.
Leave a good impression, or even let each other have a ”true friendship” to lay the foundation for the subsequent selection work.
And invitations to parties like this will not end for the next week.
”A little gift for everyone, Sony's new home DVD player and a set of hardcover videotapes of ”Three Fools in Bollywood”...”
At the end of the party, a group of judges received the items that CAA had prepared long ago, and they were picked off with joy.
”Huh, I'm exhausted.” Lyman sat in the chair, ”I don't know if it is my illusion, or if I have been too busy recently. I only drank a little wine tonight and felt very uncomfortable.”
He took two deep breaths, suppressing the surge in his stomach.
”If it doesn't work, let us help. You take a few days off.” Ryan saw that Lehman was uncomfortable, and he seriously suggested.
......
Just as Lyman was lying in the back seat of the car and Thomas drove back to the hotel, several judges also started their own discussions.
”To be honest, you are not the first old friend to call me, Bowen.” Robert, who had just received a gift and returned home, was about to take a bath, went to bed and rested, and another PR call was made. Come in.
He turned on the TV with a wry smile, but turned his voice down intimately, ”This year's Oscars are really wonderful. I would like to know who you are soliciting votes for. By the way, are you not all relatives in the United States? Do you have acquaintances in other places? .”
”Oh, buddy.” Bowen said humorously on the other end of the phone, ”Maybe I just called you to greet you?”
