Chapter 1702

Damien's tension and embarrassment can't be eliminated by just one or two words. It's just like he can't understand how many frustrations Damien has gone through in order to raise money to shoot "pop drummer", and Damien doesn't know how much grinding he has gone through to interpret the reality of "pop drummer".

The importance of "pop drummer" to Damien and the importance of Sundance to Damien are all the hopes of a young director at the beginning of his career.

Lanli also understood this. He didn't expect his words to turn decadence into magic. Instead, he took the initiative to take over the task of promoting movies. In the hustle and bustle of reporters' questions, he firmly focused all his attention on the "pop drummer".

"It's said that you and Damien met by accident on Oscar night?"

"Yes, I need a little fresh air and a little food for energy. Let's meet at the restaurant opposite the Sunset Tower Hotel. Damien showed me a short film of "pop drummer", and I decided to become the producer of this work. It's that simple. "

"So what moved you? After all, with your ability and level, you should be able to choose scripts at will in the whole Hollywood now, and Damien is just a new director who has made one work. "

"If I say, I believe this work can succeed, do you believe it? Ha. Obviously because I see the potential of this role, I still want to challenge some different roles. "

"From 'drunken folk song' to 'pop drummer', two consecutive works have appeared in the music theme. Does that mean that your new album will be released soon? You gave a positive answer to the pop drummer concert before, didn't you? "

"Ha, got caught. Yes, I do continue to prepare for new albums, but as you can see, acting is still my job. I have just finished a work of Christopher, and then there is another dubbing work. After the relevant work is over, I will start to prepare. "

"What's the difference between shooting two music works in succession?"

"Oh, these are two very, very different works. Strictly speaking, I will not make both works music themes. What they have in common is that the hero's life is related to music, that's all. " "Drunken ballad" tells a story of persistence, while "pop drummer" tells a story of breakthrough. To some extent, they show two different aspects of art and life. "

"Next, are you willing to shoot music works? Even a song and dance movie

"If there's a good script, of course, why not? Song and dance movies are obviously the type I haven't come into contact with so far, which should be a very interesting challenge; But for the moment, I have no idea. Next, I still hope to try some roles of different types and styles. "

You come and I go, ask and answer.

The rhythm between Langley and the reporter is very fast. There is almost no space for breathing between one question and the next. Damien, standing on the side, can't keep up with the speed at all. It seems that there is too much information in the onlookers. The content that sounds ordinary and ordinary becomes humorous in Langley's processing and retelling, Keep the whole atmosphere happy all the time.

Damien turned his head and looked at Lan Li. There was a light of worship in his eyes.

"Lan Li, which one do you like better, gravity and drunken folk songs? Is it a pity that one work beat another one to make it into the top five Oscar nominations

After enduring and enduring, the problem finally did not stop.

Lan Li didn't get angry, but chuckled, "your endurance skill today is really good." "I'm not going to answer this question. If you are curious, I have already answered in the forum before. You can replay it. "

"You said at the forum that it was a trap and you refused to answer." Immediately a reporter was unwilling to complain.

Lan Li spread out his hands, "look, the standard answer has been given." That dignified appearance, without the slightest panic and embarrassment, still continued his attitude.

"Which work do you think is better?"

Now that the topic has been raised, it is absolutely impossible to give up in a hurry. reason? This is the hottest topic since the Oscar nominations came out.

Time goes back to the 2006 awards season, which is a special year for Leonardo DiCaprio.

First of all, in 2004, he dedicated the wonderful work "Aviator", which was the number one hit in the whole award season. However, he was defeated by Jamie fox, who was against the sky at that time. The latter won the nominations of best actor and best supporting actor by virtue of "king of soul" and "killing with a knife", and finally became the film emperor, This made many people feel sorry for Leonardo.

Then in 2006, he starred in two works of "the infernal Walker" and "the blood diamond", both of which gave a cheering performance. In the first half of the award season, no one could be better than him. The strong limelight firmly locked in the number one seed seat in the battle for the film king. Thanks to years of contributions from Hollywood and the guilt of repeatedly missing awards, Leonardo quietly occupied an invincible position.

But the vote sharing crisis cannot be ignored.

Because of Martin Scorsese's hard work, the "Infernal Walker" took a strong lead in the award season. Although it was not the best work of Martin himself, there were no heavyweight works that could compete with him at that time, which made the work itself far ahead. Warner Brothers, who was responsible for the production and distribution, put most of its public relations efforts on the best film and the best director.

The overall quality of "blood diamond" works falls behind the second group or even the third group. Technical awards such as film editing and sound effects are quite competitive, but more weight is concentrated on two actors, the actor Leonardo DiCaprio and the supporting actor djimon hounson. The distribution company can spend more energy on the performance awards.

That's the problem. The issuing company of "blood diamond" is also Warner Bros.

In other words, Warner Bros. has limited PR power, and they have to make a choice.

Objectively speaking, Leonardo's performance in "the Inferno" was better and more brilliant than that of "blood diamond", which made a deeper impression on the audience; At the same time, the overall quality of "Infernal Walker" is slightly better, which also means that the college public relations in the later sprint stage can occupy more advantages.

Many people in the industry believe that if Warner Bros. gives up the "blood diamond" and advocates the "Infernal Affairs", Leonardo may win the Oscar in 2006; But the reality is more complicated.

"Infernal Walker" can be described as a cluster of stars, the hero has two, Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon; There are also two supporting actors, Jack Nicholson and mark Warburg.

All four actors can win the performance award, but everyone knows that it is almost impossible for all four to win the nomination; Especially in the leading role department. In the history of Oscar, in the supporting role department, there are many cases in which one work occupies two nominations, but it is very difficult for the leading role department to make double nominations.

In 1950, "comet beauty" won a total of 14 nominations, ranking the first place in the number of Oscar nominations with "Titanic". However, the technology award department was far less comprehensive than that in 1997. The reason why "comet beauty" was able to create such a record was due to the explosion of the acting department

Two nominations for best actress, two for best supporting actress and one for best supporting actor. Five acting nominations have become a unique scenery in the long history. But... Such a miracle is now almost impossible to replicate.

Warner Brothers knows that clearly.

The first to fall behind is Matt Damon, who has a mediocre reputation in the industry. Then, on top of the Golden Globe Award, Leonardo double mentioned the best actor in the plot category with two works, while Jack Nicholson and mark Warburg both nominated the best supporting actor, which immediately made Warner Brothers more difficult to produce.

After weighing their internal interests, they decided not to give up any of them. Because the interest disputes are too complicated, there is no way to give up any of them.

Jack Nicholson hopes to get his 13th Oscar nomination - breaking his own record, mark volckerberg hopes to get his first Oscar nomination - fellow Boston Gang Matt Damon supports mark“ Edward Zwick, the director of blood diamond, hopes to win his first best director nomination - although he has nominated twice as a producer for Shakespeare's love story and drug network; Naturally, Leonardo wants to win his first little golden man.

As a result, Warner Bros. kept up. Later, because Leonardo had a clear lead, Warner Bros. public relations relaxed a little bit and focused more on mark, who was relatively weak. As a result, they made a big fight.

"Infernal Walker" only got one nomination for best supporting actor, belonging to the weakest competitive mark volckerberg, which almost destroyed Martin Scorsese's battle for best director and best film“ "Blood diamond" was nominated for best actor and best supporting actor, but lost the nomination for best director.

This is a disaster for Leonardo. From strength to reputation to industry recognition, the "blood diamond" fell behind, which almost announced the bad news that he would not be the film king in advance. As it turned out, another black man after Jamie fox, Forrest Whitaker, came from behind with "the last dictatorship" and successfully won the first nomination.

Now, the same thing happened to lanli.

It is generally believed in the industry that the performance of "drunken folk songs" is better and better, but in the end, "gravity" won the Oscar nomination - of course, the strength of "gravity" works is better than "drunken folk songs", which is a good thing, but... Who knows that lenley will not follow in the footsteps of Leonardo?
