Chapter 639

No matter what way to pay homage to the past, nostalgia is a kind of sweet sentimentality, gilding the past, in order to express some dissatisfaction with the reality and worry about the unknown future. Nostalgia is not driven by several films. It has long been ready to move in the art and fashion circles. The film is just a side verification of the endless collective unconsciousness At this time when the western economy is in recession, many people miss the good old days even more.

The artist has a natural advantage in this respect.

After the nomination luncheon, everyone came to the front hall of the Regent Hotel to prepare the super group photo which is indispensable for every Oscar nominees luncheon.

"This is the best chance."

Standing together, waiting for the staff to arrange the position, Robert Downey, Jr. whispered to Murphy, "we have a good chance of sprinting with all our strength."

Murphy nodded gently. "At this point, we don't need to stay any longer."

If the film wins the prize, it can not only fulfill the wishes of him and Robert Downey Jr. for many years, but also realize the wishes of his good friend Rose. No matter whether his reputation is good or bad, it can make the name of Diego rose spread all over the world, and it will be mentioned by people in the future.

He has a general understanding of Rose's mentality. After completely turning to this road of no return, rose can say that he has no fear, the only fear is to be forgotten.

Little Robert Downey also knew that this was his best chance, and said, "old Robert's side has started to start a relationship, you can speak directly if you need anything."

Murphy was not polite at all. "Do your best."

"Director Stanton..." A staff member came up and said, "this way, please."

He nodded to Robert Downey Jr. and Murphy followed the staff to the group photo area. Then more people came. He soon found that he was quite in the middle.

This kind of group photo doesn't stand where you want to stand. Those who stand in the front of the middle are the most prominent in the circle and the big winners on this nomination list. Murphy is undoubtedly in line with these two points.

Murphy looked around. Next to Meryl Streep, it was Tom Sharak, the current chairman of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

"Look ahead, everyone!"

When the photographer's voice came, Murphy looked back at the lens in front of him. The lights flashed three times, and the group photo ended.

Meryl Streep turned and walked away, while Tom Sherlock on her other side turned and waved to Murphy.

"Hi, Tom."

Murphy took the initiative to walk over and shake hands with Tom Sherlock, whom they had met many times before at Fox in the 20th century.

"Congratulations." Tom Sharak's smile was more sincere than Harvey Weinstein's before. "Ten nominations this time."

"But you have to work hard to win." Murphy said casually.

Tom Sharak laughed and walked out of the hotel with Murphy. When there was no one around, he said, "the situation is very good for you. Many people in the college, including me, are in support of the film Diego rose."

Murphy knew he was talking about the dispute between the film and Catholicism. "I didn't expect Catholicism to be so sensitive."

"They have become accustomed to interfering in the secular world." Tom, apparently, didn't like Hollywood as much as he did in the last century

He didn't say much, patted Murphy on the shoulder, "come on, work hard."

Murphy nodded, walked through the open glass door and left the hotel.

Sitting in his car, he took a look at the Regent Hotel. No matter what aspect, this is the best opportunity.

Tom shellac was born in 20th century fox, and he has been a senior executive in Fox for a long time. If his position is not biased towards 20th century fox, I'm afraid few people will believe it.

During his tenure as president of the Academy, he made a lot of attempts, especially the number of best film nominations, which expanded from the five film system implemented in 1944 for 66 years to the ten film system, and revised the voting mechanism. In addition, since 2009, the Academy Council awards ceremony was set up to award the Oscars The awards are divided separately.

Needless to say, Tom shellac has already expressed his support in private. Although the power of the rotating chairman of the Academy of film arts and Sciences is quite limited, no one can deny that they have considerable influence.

When the phone rings, Murphy takes a look. It's Gail gado.

He pressed the answer button. "Hi, honey."

"Is the nomination list out?" Gail gado asked with concern, "how many have we got?"

"Ten nominations." Murphy simply said, "best supporting actress, best actor, best director, and best picture, all of them.""Good!" Gail gado then asked, "what about the two Weinstein films?"

Murphy changed his cell phone to his left hand. "The artist has also won ten nominations. It will be our biggest opponent."

"What about the second episode of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?"

Hearing Gail gado's words, Murphy shook his head. "The little wizard also got some nominations, including best picture, but don't think about them. They're not rivals."

"That's good." Gail gado was probably very busy and said, "go home first. I have a lot of things on my side. I may have to go back later."

Murphy then hung up the phone and fell into thinking again. There is indeed a saying in the market that the Academy of film arts and sciences will affirm the status and role of the series with the heavyweight Oscar Awards at the end of the Harry Potter series. But this saying means that laymen will believe that insiders like him actually know that this is the announcement of Warner Brothers It's a propaganda.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows won't win any major Academy Awards. After all, it's not the Lord of the rings, and Joanna Rowling is not the father of modern fantasy literature as recognized by John Tolkien.

Moreover, Oscar's discrimination against this type of film will not change with the summit of Lord of the rings 3: the return of the king.

In addition to technology awards, magic and science fiction movies in Lord of the rings 3: the return of the king, basically in the Oscars are nothing, and very few actors get nominated because of their performances in science fiction movies, the number of male and female protagonists may not be enough to make up one hand, so far, in addition to Peter Jackson, there is no director because of magic and science fiction movies I've been to the Academy Award for Best Director - the Academy judges have no love for these two types of films. This is a historical reason, and there is basically no solution at present.

Among them, as a typical commercial magic film, "Harry Potter series" is even more disliked by the Academy of film arts and Sciences. If Murphy remembers well, the whole "Harry Potter series" film has nominated many technical awards, but has not won even an Oscar.

So there's no need to worry about the trouble that Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows will bring to Diego Ross.

After the announcement of the nomination list, according to the regulations of the college, all public relations actions have to stop, but Murphy is not ready to stop. He knows that his competitors will not stop either. He just turns public relations from the light to the dark.

Instead of going back to wave manor directly, he let the driver go to Century City first. Anyway, the Regent Hotel is also in Beverly Hills, quite close to century city.

Murphy came to the fox building and met with Carla Firth. Because Carla Firth was busy with her work, the two sides didn't say much. They just exchanged views on the following public relations publicity. In the 20th century, fox will continue to use its resources to run the film "Diego Ross" and impact a series of major Oscar Awards.

The support of film companies is very important to achieve the desired results at next month's Oscars.

On the other hand, 20th century fox is also urging Murphy to start the preparations for the second part of "city of chaos" as soon as possible, and James Murdoch specially went to Carla Firth's office to meet him for this purpose.

Murphy knew that if he wanted the horse to run, he had to feed it. So he promised James Murdoch that the second film of "city of chaos" would be prepared in Los Angeles before the 84th Academy Awards ceremony.

Such a commitment has undoubtedly inspired the spirit of the 20th Century Fox executives. Their cooperation with Murphy is not for artistic films like "Diego Ross", but for those commercial giants with dark epic temperament!

Only the commercial giant can bring huge profits and maximize the industrialization advantage of fox in the 20th century.

Today, whether Carla Firth or James Murdoch, or other 20th Century Fox executives, it is clear that as long as Murphy can maintain the quality of the film, there will be a terrible explosion in the sequel to the city of chaos.

This is because several survey data from different organizations also show that "city of chaos" ranked first among all Hollywood movies in terms of DVD sales, rental and Internet on demand last year!

In other words, the film has a huge influence outside the cinema and attracted a large number of audiences.

These are the basis of future films!

After spending more than an hour in the fox building, Murphy leaves, gets on the bus, orders the driver to go home, and on the way back, dials attorney Robert.

When he got through, he said, "make arrangements as soon as possible. I'm going to see Ross at the state prison."

Since Christmas, Murphy has been busy with all kinds of work and has never been to the state prison again.
