The bells of the millennium are getting closer and closer, and mankind is about to bid farewell to the 20th century and enter the 21st century. This should be a new year that the whole world remembers.

Although Ike has "passed" it, he is still happy. After all, it is the first time he has entered the 21st century in this world.

The 57th Golden Globe Awards are scheduled to be held at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills in Los Angeles on January 23, 2000, with the location not changing from last year. The shortlist was also announced on December 28, 2019.

This Golden Globe Awards are the same as last year. There are 24 awards in the film category. Several of them are the ones that Ike cares about. The ones that were shortlisted for the best movies (drama) include: "Reading Life and Death", "The End of Events", "Hurricane", "Genius Ripley" and "American Beauty". The best directors are shortlisted for the best directors, Sam Mendes, "American Beauty", "Reading Life and Death", Norman Evison, "Hurricane", Anthony Mingla "Genius Ripley", and Ike Lee "Training Day".

When Ike saw this, his hands couldn't help but shake. Fark's best director was shortlisted for two movies, ***, this is too nb

He sat in an office chair, straightened his body, picked up the coffee from the desk and took a sip, and then watched back. The finalists for Best Actor (Drama) were Russell Clow, "Insider", Jamie Foggs, "Training Day", Matt Damon, "Genius Ripley", Kevin Sbesey, "American Beauty", Denzel Washington, "Hurricane"

Good Jamie was shortlisted, Ike smiled happily, and he immediately watched the heroine, including the best actress (drama), Annette Benin "American Beauty", Monica Bellucci "Reading Life and Death", Hillary Swank "Don't Cry Baby", Julianne Moore "The Terminator", Meryl Streep "The Song of the Heart"

Wow, finally both men and women were shortlisted. Ike breathed a sigh of relief. He continued to look at the best supporting actor. The best supporting actor was shortlisted for Jude Law, "Genius Ripley", Ethan Hawke's "Training Day", Halle-Joel-Osmont's "Sixth Sense", Tom Cruise's "Magnolia", Michael-Clark-Duncan's "Green Miracle".

Ike smiled. Jude was his. They worked together on "The Walker". After this, he matured. This time he was finally nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. Ike was happy for him from the bottom of his heart. Of course, Ethan was also very happy. In this case, the two main actors of "Training Day" were nominated.

There is also the best script behind, David Aye, the screenwriter of "Training Day", and Hard Schlink and David Haier, the screenwriter of "Life and Death Reading".

After reading the shortlist, Ike smiled and put it on the worker's desk. He stretched his body for a while. Judging from this list, it can be said that Ike won a big victory in 3D. He could even imagine how the media would evaluate the shortlist of the 57th Golden Globe Awards. Will this be Ike's Golden Globe Night?

Ike was thinking, and Green walked in. Naturally, his face was full of spring breeze.

"Green, I really want to reward you well," Ike said with a smile, picking up the list on the table and shaking, "You guys are so awesome,"

"Haha." Green happily made the sofa, "It means that our job was not done in vain. This time, everything you can think of and you can't think of is a shortlist."

"How much does PR cost?" Ike asked.

"Millions," Green replied.

Ike nodded, "It's definitely worth it. Once your video is shortlisted, its sales and box office will be good, which is very beneficial for "Training Day" that has been released on DVD and "Reading Life and Death" that is being screened."

"No." Green nodded and said, "I support this PR. This is also a hidden rule. Anyway, everyone is doing it."

"Yes. Don't forget that there are Oscars after the Golden Ball, which is more important. Don't be afraid of the cost of public relations. We cannot lose either Golden Ball or Oscar this time. This is very beneficial to our company's prestige, brand enhancement, and intangible value expansion." Ike sat in an office chair and emphasized.

"Don't worry, after two years of exploration, I have already had some experience in this regard." Green said with a smile.

"Haha." Ike smiled, "Green, you are becoming more and more like a movie businessman. Congratulations."

"Go to yours." Green smiled, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

"Things?" Ike asked.

"Harry Potter has been planned for a long time, and the first script has been adapted. Well... In terms of directors and actors, you want to decide. Are you planning to become a producer?" No wording.

Ike frowned and thought. "Harry Potter" is one of the blockbusters invested in 2000 by 3D. It is no less important than "The Lord of the Rings". "Yes, I am the producer. As for the director, do you have any choice?" I don't skip the words.

"Well, there are a few directors who have recommended themselves, but you still have to listen to your opinions in this regard. After all, they despise the producers. After the director is selected, the actors will consider it. After all, they still have to listen to the director's opinions."

"Well, is the budget as I said?" Ike asked.

"Oh, yes," Green nodded, "we made the budget as you meant."

"How much? I promised Ms. Rowling in the UK that she must make a movie that satisfies all Harry fans. She gave up Warner's request and gave us the copyright of the movie. Therefore, we cannot be stingy in this film. Such a magical movie, stingy will not be effective," Ike explained carefully.

"%% said, "This is the largest investment since our company was founded. This investment can be said to be one of the best in Hollywood today. Even if Warner shoots, it will not be higher than us."

Ike nodded with satisfaction. His figure is similar to that in history. Green said no, 125 million yuan was filmed. In Hollywood, there can be said that there is almost no such budget at the beginning of "Titanic".

"No, that's what I mean," said Ike.

"But..." Green said with a frown, "I'm still a little worried, Lee."

"Oh? Worry?" Ike asked.

"I'm worried, this movie...you, the investment is really huge. Large productions like this are usually completed by several investors because they need to reduce risks." Green said.

"Don't you have the number of fans?" Ike said with a smile.

"Of course not. My book is very popular. Ms. Rowling is also one of the best novelists. However, after all, we are making movies. You know how much the risks are here. If you want, once we fail this movie, the 3D company will start over again." Green said with some concern.

Objectively speaking, Green's worries make sense. Shooting a movie for 125 million is indeed extraordinary, and it is also a huge risk.

"You, for some movies, the scripts are good, the director is good, the actors are amazing, but the result is bad?" Ike asked.

"for?"

"Lack of funds." Ike said affirmatively, "Some movies need to save money, while others have to spend money. Only by spending enough money can it show the effect it deserves. This is like "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings". The more you want to save money, the more you will lose money. Are you? Money is not saved by saving, but by earning. I. As long as we make good investments, "Harry Potter" will not disappoint us."

"Okay" Green straightened his body, "I, you, it's because of you that I dared to do this. Haha, by the way, are you not the director of "Harry Potter"? Are you so famous now?"

Ike shook his head and smiled, "Every director has a familiar environment and subject matter. I'm not unaware of it, but I can find someone more suitable than me. They are like they were born for this movie, just like Peter for The Lord of the Rings."

"I heard you say that, it seems that someone has chosen you?" Green asked.

"Yes. I already have it in my heart, and I will not refuse Harry Potter," Ike said with a smile leaning on his chair.
