Chapter 512

By the middle of February, before the 82nd Oscar nominees' luncheon, the North American box office of "Wall Street wolf" was still growing slowly, reaching more than 235.6 million US dollars. Although it was far behind the radical "Avatar", it was a big achievement for a film whose production cost was only 80 million US dollars.

Later, the Oscar nominees luncheon was held at the Hilton Beverly Hills Hotel. Unlike previous years, Murphy did not let busy bill rosis do the work, but personally appeared in the banquet hall of the nominees luncheon.

As Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah hill are still doing publicity all over the world, Murphy, on behalf of the whole "Wall Street wolf" crew, walks into the No. 1 banquet hall of Hilton Hotel alone.

"This way, please, director Stanton."

A waiter leads Murphy to the table in front of the banquet hall. Before Murphy went there, she had a special look. Most of the people sitting there are characters from Hollywood's top buildings, such as Jon Landau, who represents the cast of avatar, John lassett, the animation director of Walt Disney, and Hollywood's top stars Leonardo DiCaprio!

There was a time when Murphy was very close to Leonardo DiCaprio because of Robert Downey Jr., but now

Murphy gently shakes his head. Leonardo DiCaprio is not only a movie star, but also a very successful businessman. When certain interests are placed in front of him, the fragile friendship between them suddenly collapses.

Of course, he is also very clear that this is the normal situation in Hollywood or any business circle. It is impossible for everyone he meets to become close friends like James Franco, Robert Downey, Seth Logan and Jonah hill.

"Hi, Jon."

Coming to the banquet table, Murphy first said hello to the fat producer from 20th century fox. Jon Landau saw that it was Murphy who came over and quickly stood up and hugged him, "Wow, Murphy! It's so nice to meet you

After that, Murphy shook hands with John lassett under the introduction of Jon Landau. They had not met before, but they were well-known for a long time.

In particular, Murphy is very fond of Pixar studio's non child animation, and he once loved it. He specially talked with John lassett, the core figure of Pixar five tigers.

From John lassett's mouth, Murphy also learned that he came for "a journey around the flying house". It is said that this classic work of Pixar studio is likely to become the first animated feature film ever nominated for best picture Oscar!

If it is really nominated, it will be a great honor for Pixar studio. On the one hand, it is the best praise for their unremitting creation, and on the other hand, it is also the effect of the expansion of the best film nominations list.

Starting from the 82nd Academy Awards, the list of best picture nominations is no longer limited to five, but up to nine! That is to say, if there are many excellent films produced in that year, the judges may fill in the nomination list of nine. If there are not enough excellent films, they will choose several, but not less than five.

It can be said that this is the biggest reform made by the Academy of film arts and Sciences in recent years for the Oscar, which can make some excellent sci-fi films and cartoons and other commercial films into the nomination list, and play a good role as runners.

So before, both bill Rossi and Robert Downey Jr. thought that the difficulty of getting the best picture nomination for Wall Street wolf was far less than that of Murphy's best director nomination with only five places.

Watching Murphy talking and laughing with John lassett, Leonardo DiCaprio is somewhat uncomfortable, but he is also an old man in this circle. He doesn't do anything, just sits here.

He could see that Murphy's attitude towards him had changed greatly. If we put it in the past, the first person he would greet would be himself.

Leonardo DiCaprio understands why, but he doesn't have any sense of guilt, and has released goodwill through his agent, which is beyond his control.

In other words, at that time, with Murphy Stanton's utilitarian character, what he did might not be much better than himself.

"Hello, Leo."

Just when he was out of his mind, Leonardo DiCaprio heard the familiar voice of greeting. He quickly shook his head and looked back at Murphy who had been sitting beside him. He pulled out a formulaic smile, "Hello, Murphy."

When he finished, he stopped talking.

Murphy nodded to Leonardo DiCaprio and said nothing more.

There is no need for them to pretend to be enthusiastic.

Why did Jordan Belfort want to take back the right of adaptation of Wall Street wolf? Murphy knows very well who is behind it.Similarly, Leonardo DiCaprio also knows that the distance between Murphy and the word "good man" is as far as the whole Pacific Ocean. No one knows whether there is Murphy behind the obstacles he encountered in this expedition.

Murphy takes a last look at Leonardo DiCaprio and talks with Jon Landau about avatar. The global box office of the film has reached nearly $2 billion. Everyone can see that as long as there is no major accident such as the outbreak of the third world war or alien invasion, James Cameron will be able to complete it To surpass oneself, truck driver will become a movie myth completely.

It's not that he didn't have the idea of directing the film, but he just gave up when he thought about it, because it's almost impossible to operate.

Let's not say whether "Avatar" is James Cameron's idea since more than ten or twenty years ago. Technology alone is a problem that Murphy can't solve.

As long as people with normal brain know a little bit about it, they all know that this film is a typical one, not the type that a script or a director can solve. Even writing a script is of little use.

Since the beginning of this century, James Cameron has cooperated with Sony electronics to start the research on the latest 3D photography and motion imaging. He has not only done a lot of research and experiments, but also made several documentaries to explore the feasibility of the technology. Moreover, the patent right of the latest 3D photography and other technologies that must be used in the production of Avatar has always been firmly held James Cameron's hands, if not authorized by the truck driver, shooting anything is empty talk.

Of course, it's not impossible to shoot with other technologies. Maybe it can also achieve the final film effect of "Avatar". The problem is that James Cameron, as a technology maniac, has invested nearly ten years for those new technologies. If other directors are used, how many years will it take to advance other technologies to the extent that they can shoot and produce "Avatar"?

How many directors are willing to give as much time and energy as James Cameron?

As for the kind of writing a script can be "Avatar" shooting production, the film after the effect is not bad

Murphy shook his head. Fortunately, he was not so retarded. To be exact, this kind of idea is praise.

movies, such as things, may not be rewarded, but no effort is absolutely unrewarded. Just like Murphy's heart has been playing the same role as Tucao, Afanda has also been criticized for many times. However, no matter how much criticism, the box office results of Big Bang are the best return for James Cameron to make complaints about new technologies.

If you let Murphy evaluate it, he would say, "movies are divided into before and after sound movies, before and after color movies, before and after avatar!"

All of a sudden, Murphy felt that someone was staring at him. Without looking, he knew it must be Leonardo DiCaprio.

Taking Leonardo DiCaprio's network as an example, it is not hard to know that a considerable number of Oscar judges are very dissatisfied with his action to fight for Austria, and they will make unfavorable choices for him when voting.

Although the wolf of Wall Street has been lost, Leonardo DiCaprio's plan to rush to Austria has not been affected too much. According to the information obtained by Murphy, Leonardo DiCaprio has pushed ahead the new film with Martin Scorsese, originally scheduled to be released in February this year, "closed island", to the end of December last year in Los Angeles for screening Get the chance to compete for best actor in this year's Oscar.

Frankly speaking, acting is a very subjective thing, everyone's criteria are different, but Leonardo DiCaprio's acting has always been criticized, especially the exaggerated facial expression and extremely easy to work too hard, which are very disliked by the Oscar judges.

But Leonardo DiCaprio has fame, money, ability and wide relationship network. Many times, as long as he chooses movies and roles for Oscar, he will appear on the best actor list.

The nominees' luncheon soon began. Murphy and others were not interested in the meals provided. They just listened to the announcement of the nominees' list one by one by the rotating chairman of the college, Sid Ganis, and the guest, Anne Hathaway.

The list of nominations was announced very quickly. Listening to the name read by Anne Hathaway, Leonardo DiCaprio's face began to look a little bit ugly, because he invested a lot of money in "closed island" and even won nothing in the announced technology awards, while Murphy's "Wall Street wolf" won the best editing, best photography and best costume A series of best screenplay nominations and adaptations.

Then the list of nominations for the four heaviest awards jumped out of Anne Hathaway's mouth. (to be continued). )
