Hollywood Road

Those old men at the academy don't like Leonardo DiCaprio.

In the office of CAA in Century City, Bill Rosses said convincingly, His purpose and attempt to hit the Oscars are too obvious, plus the bad influence of being famous overnight when he was young...

Both Murphy and James Franco, sitting on the couch, knew that Bill Rosses was telling the truth.

Bill Rosses then changed the subject, But everything has a limit. It is the ten-year running career that has allowed Leonardo DiCaprio to accumulate enough qualifications. Look at this year's Among the candidates, apart from James, there are few people who can match Leonardo DiCaprio in terms of qualifications and fame.

Matthew McConaughey, Murphy reminded.

If it wasn't for James Cameron's insistence, this actor might have become the leading actor of Dachuan.

Don't worry about him. Bill Rosses laughed, He is only a second-tier customer in CAA, and he can't be compared with James. The company only signed him two years ago, so they won't invest much resources in him. CAA this time The supporting actors and actresses are James and Maggie.

James Franco didn't speak, but glanced at Murphy, why would CAA support him and Margot Robbie so much? First, they do have sufficient market value, and second, they are members of Stanton's party!

The latter one is very important. If 20th Century Fox wants to continue to cooperate with Murphy, it is necessary to win his favor and friendship.

The resources in our hands... Gal Gadot reminded, It's time to go all out.

She feels that with the current situation, Murphy's best director and Dark City's best picture chances are very high, and it's hard to say for James Franco and Margot Robbie.

James Franco then said, I have activated my network, but I don't have as many contacts as Downey.

After all, Robert Downey Jr. came from a family of performers. James Franco is incomparable in this regard. Murphy is very clear and said, We will fully support you and Maggie.

He's talking about all the Stantonites.

It's not difficult for James to be nominated. Bill Rossi said again, but if you want to win, Leonardo DiCaprio is the biggest obstacle!

Unlike before, because Murphy got the Wolf of Wall Street out ahead of time, Leonardo DiCaprio's award-winning film became The Great Gatsby. This film does not seem to have any advantages, but in caa Without planning to actively publicize Matthew McConaughey, no one knows whether Leonardo DiCaprio will take away the Oscar for Best Actor in advance.

What's more, Leonardo DiCaprio's team seems to have seen the development trend of the Oscars and started a large-scale side promotion.

It's really about liking. James Franco shrugged. The old men in the academy still like Leonardo DiCaprio more than I do.

Murphy nodded with a smile. Neither Leonardo DiCaprio nor James Franco are the kind of actors that academics like.

So... Gal Gadot crossed his arms, If James wants to win the award, he must first kill Leonardo DiCaprio?

Honey. Murphy deliberately joked, We are good citizens who abide by the law.

Gal Gadot rolled her eyes, not bothering to talk to Murphy.

Okay, let's stop joking. Murphy put away his smile and said to Bill Rosses, I don't know if you have noticed that among Leonardo DiCaprio's close friends, there is a man named Liu Zuo. Very Malaysian.

James Franco and Gal Gadot shook their heads, obviously not knowing who Murphy was talking about.

Bill Rosses nodded slightly, This is a core member of the 1mdb Foundation, and one of the main investors of Red Rock Films, which has cooperated more with Leonardo DiCaprio in recent years.

He asked Murphy curiously, Is there a problem with Liu Zuote?

Once Leonardo DiCaprio,

It can be said that he is one of Murphy's favorite stars. Of course, there are many news about him, and there are many negative news among them.

Murphy couldn't explain the source of these matters, and simply said, I have definite news that Jho Low and 1mdb are agents of many high-ranking officials in Malaysia. It is said that Malaysia's political arena has always been not very clean.

Bill Rosses immediately understood what Murphy meant, If there is a problem with the funding source of 1mdb and Red Rock Films, Leonardo DiCaprio will definitely be involved?

Yes, that's it. Murphy was not sure if these things were true, You'd better get someone to investigate, we don't have to confirm that Leonardo DiCaprio is really involved in these shitty things, As long as there is too much contact between the two sides and there is indeed a problem with the Malaysian side, he will not be able to get away.

Hmm. Bill Rosses lightly tapped his fingers, Once this kind of thing comes to light, it will definitely affect Leonardo DiCaprio's plans for the Olympics.

He suddenly laughed, The company will definitely be happy to do this. When Leonardo DiCaprio left CAA and created his own manager team, it caused great dissatisfaction.

What can I do? James Franco said now. Watching?

Of course it's about showing your best side. Murphy went over and patted James Franco on the shoulder, Jim, go out and show love to Lily more, and grab the headlines of the entertainment sections of major newspapers and magazines if you have nothing to do.

James Franco said solemnly, Don't worry, I will steal all the limelight from you and Gail.

Just like what Bill Rosses said, caa took over the matter, and Bill Rosses also contacted Carafes. There is a certain truth to the saying that there are many people, just like Murphy was criticized by many people some time ago. Similarly, there are not a few people in this circle who like to see Leonardo DiCaprio unlucky.

Although he used to like Leonardo DiCaprio and the movies he starred in, Murphy will not be relentless. Leonardo DiCaprio and him had conflicts before, and an Oscar actor can The impact and benefits brought about are also very large!

Murphy is still very clear about the hobbies when he was young and frivolous and the major interests now.

As for Margot Robbie's best actress, apart from her own public relations, it really depends on luck.

However, compared to James Franco's Best Actor, Margot Robbie's challenge for Best Actress is not without advantages. One of the good performances. On the other hand, the trend of Oscar choosing young actresses for Best Actress in recent years is quite obvious.

If I remember correctly, this year's Best Actress is Cate Blanchett, who is also an Australian actress. Margot Robbie has no advantage at all compared to her big devil.

Which movie did Cate Blanchett take Best Actress for? It seems to be Blue Jasmine, and the director is the famous Woody Allen.

On the car back to Wave Manor, Murphy made another phone call to Bill Rossis. In order to achieve the wildness that his four heavyweight roles could take on as much as possible, he had to follow Harvey Weinstein's example of dealing with Woody Allen. A common method used in movies.

After talking on the phone with Bill Rosses, and returning home, Murphy was still thinking about the Dark City's impact on the Oscars. In fact, not only the best actor and best actress, but also the best picture is also very difficult.

He slowly looked towards a corner of the living room, where there was a dark wall!

Yes, black! Damn black! The most special group in Hollywood! No matter what you do, you can always find discriminatory groups with a super glass heart!

Twelve years a slave!

Even Murphy couldn't ignore the film's huge advantage in Oscar.

This film may not win any statuettes, even if it is a technical award, it is a favorite for the best picture statuette!

Murphy shook his head, this damn Hollywood-style political correctness.

Although very dissatisfied, but the situation is here, even if he does not admit it, Hollywood-style political correctness still exists.

Regarding the influence of the Oscars, apart from the results of the Sentinel Awards and the evaluation of the film, Murphy cannot completely ignore the realities of Hollywood. Hollywood has always been inseparable from politics, and the Oscars always reflect the political attitudes in the Hollywood circle. In the current political environment in the United States, many people who advocate democracy and freedom may choose a black movie. Whether this will influence the vote is hard to say, but this year's Oscars will definitely not get rid of Hollywood-style political clouds. Impact.

Dark City may be a victim of Hollywood's political environment, or it may be a beneficiary, depending on how voters think.

Under the premise that blacks have continued to make troubles in recent years, I am afraid that many people hope to show the democracy and tolerance of the United States through a work full of humanity with minorities as the protagonist, especially in recent years Oscar has been scolded for too pale. , triggered racial controversy, and twelve years a slave appeared at this time...

These are all objective situations. If it weren't for the Catholic Church, Murphy felt that the Dark City might not be the opponent of 12 Years a Slave at all.

Fortunately, Catholicism has now caused a huge disturbance. Public opinion conflicts over the revelation of Catholic scandals and Catholic attacks on Hollywood movies are still emerging, and it seems that there is no intention of calming down for a while.

When Murphy was preparing for the focus of the new film and working hard for Oscar PR, he received an invitation from Archbishop Marquez Costello.
