Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

The upset win of "Crash" surprised countless people, and the "Million Dollar Baby" crew and the "Aviator" crew couldn't hide their disappointment, but there were more happy people. Fox Searchlight narrowly beat Lionsgate to get the distribution rights to the film, and now it has paid off, while Lionsgate gave up "Crash" because of a million dollar gap, which is also the first in their company's history. The Oscar statuette passed by.

Compared with the regrets of Lionsgate, Studio Eleven won the first best film statuette in the studio's history as a newcomer less than four years old. This achievement has made countless ** film studios jealous. endlessly. As a leading studio, although there is still a gap between Eleven Studios and a representative company like DreamWorks, both in terms of scale and honor, Eleven Studios has already won in film, music, TV and other aspects. To be sure, this achievement is in no way inferior to DreamWorks, which is trying to fully blossom.

Although "Crash" recovered its production and distribution costs early and made a profit, after winning the Oscar, its DVD sales ranking jumped from 130 to 12 on Amazon's online store overnight. Fox Searchlight also printed an additional 300,000 discs, more than tripling its previous sales forecast. It is estimated that the Oscar for best picture statuette will bring in at least more than 15 million in additional revenue, including TV rights. Therefore, Eleven Studio is indeed a big win.

The end of the Oscars also announced the official end of the awards season in 2004. After the awards ceremony, the Vanity Fair Oscar night was not only a veritable "Vanity Fair" competition venue, but also a night for the stars to put down their burdens and have a complete revelry. When the brand new sun hangs over the city of Los Angeles. All the dust settled.

The upset reversal of "Crash" is destined to be the focus of countless media discussions; and Evan Bell became the youngest best director nominee in Oscar history, making him overnight the most high-profile member of the rookies .

Fox Searchlight doesn't care how shocked the media is. Not to care about the loss of competitors, enjoy the victory at the Oscars, this is the right of the winner. Fox Searchlight held a celebration party the next day, not only invited the entire "Crash" crew, but also most of the staff of Fox Searchlight and Eleven Studios were also invited, and 20th Century Fox also had many people with Egypt Wen Bell met and arrived at the scene to express their congratulations.

Evan Bell appeared at the celebration banquet with his girlfriend Blake Lively. The media is now making a lot of noise about the scandal between the two, but as the parties, the two have neither come forward to clarify nor deliberately avoid suspicion, they are still going their own way. The media is also very helpless, if it is just Evan Bell, it can be understood. But Blake Lively, a freshman who just debuted. There is actually such restraint and self-consciousness, and there is no intention of borrowing this scandal to be high, which makes the media very unhappy.

Unlike last night's Oscar night hosted by the magazine Vanity Fair, at Fox Searchlight's celebration banquet, there were no intrigues, no rallies, no conspiracies. Just a simple celebration, for a great awards season. Evan Bell became the target of everyone drinking early. Even if Blake Lively stood up and blocked a lot of wine for Evan Bell, Evan Bell was still drunk, and Blake Lively was even more invincible. Alcohol. Avon Bell asked Teddy Bell to send Blake Lively back first, and he still had to persevere at the celebration banquet.

Sitting on the bench on the balcony, Evan Bell was blowing the cold night wind, and his drowsy head due to alcohol seemed to be heavier. The alcohol seemed to be carried by the wind, and Evan Bell only felt that his stomach was rolling. The feeling of being overturned is really uncomfortable. But I wanted to vomit but couldn't, because Evan Bell just remembered. He didn't seem to have eaten this evening, just a little bit of spaghetti in his memory. Empty stomach cramps. Evan Bell felt that he should find a warm corner to sit, and if he continued to blow here, he should spit out bile.

Evan Bell closed his eyes, hoping that the constantly spinning world around him could stop, to prevent the whole world from going upside down when he stood up. In fact, Evan Bell's drinking capacity is quite good, but today, these wolves like tigers, one by one, instead of looking for Paul Haggis, all came to Evan Bell. Everyone knows that if you want to get a drink The opportunity to get drunk on Evan Bell is definitely not easy. If you miss today, you don't know when it will be.

"It turned out that you were hiding here, but it was very hard for everyone to find you." A voice sounded in Evan Bell's ear.

After people get drunk, they either become extremely sharp or become completely dull. Evan Bell is the latter. He just feels that the voice is like shouting from across a playground, no, it's more than a playground, more like a valley. When Evan Bell reacted and opened his eyes, most of the sounds around him had been filtered through crackling, and his head didn't know what he was talking about. He just felt a noise ringing in his ears.

It's Paul Haggis.

Although Evan Bell's brain is almost a mess, his vision is barely clear. Although the joy on Paul Haggis' face is covered with a veil, he can still see it clearly. The radian was raised, but the light called happiness on the whole face couldn't be clearer.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Before meeting Evan Bell at the Berlin Film Festival last year, Paul Haggis was in a bad situation, and the script of "Crash" also repeatedly hit a wall. Now, "Crash" has won the Best Picture Award. He has been nominated for a Best Original Screenplay and a Best Adapted Screenplay as a screenwriter. Although he did not win an award, there is no doubt that Paul Haggis is currently the most popular in Hollywood. Hot screenwriter. Currently, Paul Haggis is writing the two scripts of "Flag of the Fathers" and "Letter from Iwo Jima", and it is no surprise that he will work with Clint Eastwood again after "Million Dollar Baby". The producers of these two works will be cast by Steven Spielberg. In addition, the latest episode of James Bond, the world-famous Merry Agent 007, is "007: Casino Royale". This script has been determined to be written by Paul Haggis, and the name of the work is determined by Paul Haggis.

It can be seen that Paul Haggis' future road in Hollywood has been completely flat. However, none of the double nominations that Paul Haggis won as a screenwriter this time turned out to be awarded, and some media believe that it is mainly because of the college party Paul Haggis can't wait to write the commercial blockbuster 007 series. This is indeed not a wise choice for academics. Therefore, it is estimated that Paul Haggis' Oscar road will not be too smooth in the future.

Evan Bell had absolutely no idea what Paul Haggis was talking about, he just heard a lot of scattered words, and there was no way to piece them together. But he caught a message. "The Banner of the Fathers" and "Letter from Iwo Jima" are two sister films. Clint Eastwood will explain the historical event of the Battle of Iwo Jima from the perspectives of the United States and Japan, respectively. The work is also a collaboration between Warner Bros. and DreamWorks. Evan Bell speculates that Paul Haggis should be thankful for his matchmaking. However, Evan Bell's brain operation was a bit difficult at this time, and he didn't remember whether he had helped, so he just listened in a daze.

In fact, Evan Bell was not completely drunk. It was only after he came out that he was blown by the wind, and the alcohol washed into his brain, causing his head to remain in a chaotic state and a little sleepy, so when Paul Haggis was talking next to him, it was really difficult for him to concentrate. But after sitting in the wind for a little longer, the spirit came back little by little, and Paul Haggis finally stopped talking to himself alone. Evan Bell can also occasionally reply with a few words.

I remember that in the last life, Evan Bell admired the two works "The Banner of the Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima". Clint Eastwood is seeing the same war from two different positions: and it's a very difficult thing to do against both countries on the battlefield. Because even it's the same thing. The perspectives of different interest groups in different countries may be different.

The simplest example is that "Crash" won the Best Picture award, which was a celebration for the "Crash" crew, and a huge regret for the "Million Dollar Baby" crew, who After sweeping the Best Supporting Actor, Best Actress, Best Director awards, it's really frustrating to fall short at the last Best Picture award. In addition, it was a night of failure for the crew of "The Aviator". In the end, only two technical awards were included in the eleven nominations. How can Martin Scorsese's inner loss be understood by others.

Therefore, regarding the battle of Iwo Jima, the views and positions of the United States and Japan are absolutely different. But Clint Eastwood challenged this almost impossible, as an American, he had to stand in the position of the Japanese to shoot "Letter from Iwo Jima", just imagine it is incredible.

But Evan Bell has seen these two works in his last life. Although "the banner of the fathers" is a bit cliché, the two works are above the standard. "Letter from Iwo Jima" won another nomination for Clint Eastwood such as Best Director and Best Picture, and was also shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film of several associations, which also received rave reviews.

It is indeed a rare opportunity to have the opportunity to sit down and discuss with Paul Haggis, the screenwriter of these two works, but although Evan Bell's brain is a little more awake, the reaction is still not very good, so most of the time it is Paul Haggis Si is talking alone.

"Evan, do you know Hubbard? Have you seen his?" Paul Haggis' voice came over.

Evan Bell was stunned, wasn't he talking about the script just now, did he miss something? Why suddenly jump to another topic, "Hubbard? Albert Hubbard?" West Asia has sold over 800 million copies worldwide and is one of the world's best-selling books of all time.

"Oh no, I mean Ron Hubbard."

"…………what?"
