Chapter 2338

Langley and Alessandro are not friends, but they are not strangers. To be exact, they are more familiar than ordinary friends.

Through Alfonso Caron's matchmaking, Langley and Alessandro met several times and exchanged views on each other's film understanding, which directly became an opportunity for Sisyphus film to cooperate with Alessandro as a "wilderness Hunter"——

Compared with large film companies, Sisyphus pictures has relatively limited capital, but it is more generous and professional. Andre Hamilton approved a budget of 100 million US dollars with a big hand, so that Alessandro can wait for the opportunity to capture natural light in the snow of Canada.

Not long before the Oscars, Alessandro again applied for an additional $30 million in shooting funds. Andre hesitated about this. However, after asking Langley, the company repeatedly discussed and finally Andre approved the funds, so that Alessandro could devote himself to shooting.

Indeed, Langley and Alessandro are not friends. They don't usually exchange phone calls or send emails; But the friendship between them exists.

Tonight, the best director Xiao Jinren was presented to Alessandro by Langley himself, and became the link between Alfonso and Alessandro, two Mexican directors. This is undoubtedly of extraordinary memorial significance, and it is because of this that Alessandro gave Langley a warm hug.

Lan Li had no choice but to smile and patted Alessandro on the back. "Congratulations! Next is your moment

With that, Langley stepped aside and gave the spotlight to Alessandro.

Just as Alessandro delivered his acceptance speech, under the stage, Harvey looked at Bob again and seemed to be saying:

I told you so.

Bob knows that Harvey is probably right. Once again, his keen sense of public relations is Harvey's "super ability" in the industry, just like a superhero; When the best director award was presented, Bob could guess that the big picture was set.

The top four players of the first group have gradually revealed their original appearance.

"Budapest Hotel" won four golden men in the technology department, but because of the negative influence of Scott Rudin, it was abandoned by Fox Searchlight. After losing the best original script award, it has basically declared that it has missed the best film. Now the best director award is lost again, which further proves this point.

"Youth" really did not have an advantage in the technical awards department. They lost three awards for best original script, best editing and best supporting actor in a row. This was the expected result, and it was not their strong point originally; Beat "Birdman" to win the best supporting actress award, and successfully continued the competitiveness of the film.

However, if the "Youth" wants to win the Oscar, the best director award is a must win award. With the counterattack of Alessandro, when the leading role department failed to win the nomination, it basically declared that the work completely withdrew from the final competition of best picture.

The overall weakness of the college's public relations level has been fully exposed, and Fox Searchlight is really tough - after 12 years of slavery last year, it continues to be strong again this year.

"Birdman" didn't get much advantage in the technical department, but the best Photography Award was firmly in hand, and then successfully completed the counter attack in the two major cities of best original script and best director, swept away the haze of the defeat of best supporting actress and best supporting actor, and became the most popular best film without any suspense.

Although "Birdman" has only three little golden men in hand, every trophy is the most important one. No accident, the suspense of best picture has been revealed.

Then, if there is any accident, "pop drummer" is the only possibility.

From technology to theme, a new "pop drummer" has successively won the best sound effect, the best editing, the best supporting actor and the best adapted screenplay. At present, there is still no record of losing the nomination project, maintaining a 100% prize winning rate. In addition, three of the "pop drummers" are the core cities, The overall momentum even faintly suppressed "Birdman".

"But", there must be another "but" after that, but what's the problem?

The sword goes to the wrong side.

The core problem of "pop drummer" has never changed. After Cheng Yijian and defeat Yijian were born in a sharp and unique way, this work has won numerous praise; The enchanted way of artistic interpretation has conquered countless audiences, but this way of expression is not only "patricide", but also provocative to the judges of the Academy. It is too bold and too arrogant, which is doomed to the fatal weakness of the film.

In Sundance, "pop drummer" can reach the highest award; But at the Oscars, the inborn deficiency of "pop drummer" doomed the end.

If there is no such thing as "the sword goes to the extreme", then "pop drummer" should still keep pace with "Birdman", and the suspense of the best film is still not revealed; However, if there was no "sword going to the extreme", the "pop drummer" would not have entered the award season from the beginning. This is a self contradictory question.

Let's have a deep discussion. Assuming that "pop drummer" can really overturn "Birdman" and win at the last moment, what kind of motivation does the film need?

A heavyweight little golden man who is comparable to the best director either wins the four major performance awards or performs better in the technical awards. Now, the opportunity left for the "pop drummer" is only the best actor——

Not to mention that "Birdman" is also a strong competitor in the best actor award competition, just saying that the ambition of "theory of all things" is inevitable, which makes the hope of "burst drummer" dim; What's more, Langley just won the Oscars three years ago. Is it too early and too fast to write two now?

To sum up, Harvey has accurately grasped the context of the second stage of college public relations. He can even conclude that the last three awards belong to:

Best actress, Julian Moore; Best actor, Eddie Medline; Best picture, "Birdman.".

With the announcement of the best director award, all the suspense has lost its meaning. Not to mention Harvey, even Bob can see the overall development.

Harvey is right, again.

Giving up Benedict conberbach, choosing Eddie MEDLINE, giving up "imitation game" and pushing Eddie MEDLINE, Harvey's thoroughness and sagacity in the second stage of college public relations firmly grasped the essence of this little golden man game and was more than a blade among many forces.

Next, we have to witness Harvey's "godly moment".

Before this year's award season, "variety" magazine has a statistic that Steven Spielberg is the most frequently mentioned filmmaker in the Oscar history's acceptance speech. He has been mentioned 42 times in total; Next came Harvey Weinstein, who was mentioned 34 times.

Then there's James Cameron, George Lucas and Peter Jackson, and the sixth is God.

After tonight, Harvey may be catching up with Steven.

However, Bob glanced at Harvey from the rest of his eyes. His confident, arrogant, arrogant and egotistical appearance became so boring that an idea, a small idea, a very weak idea, came into his mind

What if Harvey is wrong?

That tiny idea takes root and sprouts like this, then grows up bit by bit, and grows up crazily with uncontrollable momentum.

……

On the stage, Alessandro finished the award speech, left the stage with lanli, and returned to the backstage lounge. The two talked happily.

Stepping into the backstage, the cameras of reporters have already aimed at Alessandro, while Langley dodges to the side, leaving the attention moment to the new best director winner; As for lanli himself, he needs to take advantage of the advertising time to quickly return to his seat and continue to watch the award ceremony.

"Hey, lenley." A call came from behind. Turning around, it was John Legend.

Tonight, John Legend won his first golden man trophy——

The theme song "glory" of "Selma parade" was composed and sung by John, who won the best original song award not long ago; The moment when John sang "glory" on the stage was the first shining point of the evening and won the highest treatment of standing up and clapping. The hero of "Selma parade" David Oiro was even moved to tears.

There was a long way to go between Raleigh and John. At that year's Grammy Awards ceremony, John personally announced and presented the annual album award to Raleigh. Then he watched the classic moment of Raleigh's acceptance speech in the form of "beast" from the side platform, which made him cry.

After that, Langley and John met occasionally and had a good talk each time.

"Hey, John." Lan Li also showed a big smile, "just now the performance is really wonderful, this is the real musician performance."

"Ha ha." John laughed happily. "I watched last year's award ceremony, too. Your performance is also wonderful. Please don't be modest."

"I'm an actor and you're a singer. There's a difference." Lan Li waved his hand.

John didn't argue either, "so it's up to you next? Tonight is your home This is a hint that the best actor award will be presented soon.

Blue Li did not answer, just raised his right hand, made a finger crossing prayer action, this is enough.

"Oh, by the way, I just met Damien backstage and talked to him about you. I'm surprised. Did Damien come from a music school himself? " John met Damien for the first time tonight, but he got into a conversation because of the relationship with Langley.

Damien chazere and John Legend?

Blue Li's eyebrow tail gently raised, "yes, he used to learn the drum, Andrew's story, in fact, is based on his own experience. I think maybe you can play in his works if you have the chance. You know, there are not many directors who are good at making music and movies now. "

John didn't care at all, but he didn't smile.

During the conversation, the two men had already returned to the infield, nodded to each other, and walked toward their seats.
