Chapter 507

"The purpose of the awards season is too complicated."

Under the corridor of an exquisite wooden house in Beverly Hills, gray haired Peter Bart kept shaking his head and said to his tea drinking companions, "some people make movies not for movies, but just for prizes!"

The man sitting opposite also had gray hair and seemed to be older. He put down his cup and nodded his head slightly, as if he recognized his old friend's view.

Peter Bart has been a member of the Academy since 1969, which means he is also an Oscar judge. Like Frank Pearson, he is one of the oldest people in the Academy.

However, compared with himself, Frank Pearson has a higher status and greater influence in the college.

Frank Pearson not only participated in the production of classic works such as "hot afternoon", "the birth of a star" and "blood in the iron window", but also served as the rotating chairman of the Academy of film arts and Sciences.

It is true that the rotating chairman does not mean that he has much power, but those who have held this position, without exception, have an extremely broad network of relationships.

That's why Peter Bart accepted the request of bill rosis, the famous agent of CAA, to influence Frank Pearson from the side.

"The people who want to win prizes."

After putting down the cup, Frank Pearson gently shook his head. "They're going to spoil Oscar."

"Yes." Peter Bart can recognize his old friend's position, think of the words mentioned by bill rosis, and immediately say, "such people are really hateful, such as Leonardo DiCaprio. Every time he receives a film or plays a role, he deliberately wants to attack the best actor in the Oscar."

He took a look at Frank Pearson, the timing is very appropriate, and said, "Leonardo DiCaprio such a person won the best actor Oscar, it is simply conniving at this kind of behavior."

"Leonardo DiCaprio wants best actor?" Frank Pearson sneered, "even for the sake of this Oscar, we won't let him win!"

Some critics believe that the selection of Oscars strengthens the lack of diversity in the decision-making of films and studios. Frank Pearson quite agrees with this view. However, the purpose of the existence of Oscars is to encourage, not to limit, and the academy has been committed to diversity.

However, the existence of a large number of films and people who want to win prizes seriously hinders the college's plan to promote the diversification of Hollywood films.

"It's not easy to diversify film styles." Peter Bart sighed and said, "Hollywood movies are now seriously homogenized. Let's not talk about the popcorn in the summer season, but look at these movies in the award season. They are basically carved in the same mold."

Frank Pearson agreed, "now Hollywood has a strong personal style, and there are too few directors who can guarantee the quality of their works. Without directors with diversified styles, there will be no films with diversified styles."

"I think..." "The personal style of Bart," he said, "should be a strong motivator."

"Well." Frank Pearson nodded.

After another chat and a few cups of black tea, Peter Bart left. He couldn't say too much, otherwise it would be counterproductive. Moreover, he knew that Frank Pearson had a habit of watching the Hollywood Reporter. There would be a special comment on tomorrow's Hollywood Reporter.

In addition to today's words, Frank Pearson's point of view will certainly be affected to a certain extent. This kind of influence is not too much, as long as the position is slightly biased towards the heavyweight customer of bill rosis.

Just as Peter Barthes expected, those films will make people understand that they are for awards. They have lost the essence of films and are not conducive to the long-term development of the whole Hollywood film industry.

Thinking of this, Frank Pearson stood up and felt that it was time to talk to those old guys whose ideas were consistent with his own. Those films with too strong purpose should not appear on the Oscar nomination list again. (to be continued). )
