Made in Hollywood
Chapter 439 Forbes Rich List
As expected by everyone beforehand, none of the most important awards has the name The Fellowship of the Ring. This film only won three technical awards for best makeup, best soundtrack and best visual effects. , are obviously consolation prizes, but Duke doesn't care much, even if the academy really values this series, they will save the award for the final chapter.
Although he went to the awards ceremony, Duke, like his own movies, ran with him throughout the awards ceremony.
This is destined to be a controversial Oscars ceremony, even the most controversial in the last ten years - Shakespeare in Love has no Saving Private Ryan foil, the controversy is not so huge - although Ron Howard There is no controversy about winning the best director and the best picture with A Beautiful Mind, but the debate about the male and female protagonists will not stop.
Even in the past ten years, Denzel Washington and Harry Berry's best actor and actress are still full of controversy, and they can definitely be ranked at the top of the Oscar's parallel list.
Whether it's Denzel Washington or Halle Berry, compared to their competitors such as Sean Penn, Russell Crowe and Renee Zellweger, Judi Dench and Nicole Key Derman, the characters and the acting are all unconvincing, especially the latter, which is obviously even worse.
They can win awards, the key factor has nothing to do with the movie, just because this is the Oscar after 9/11, just because this is a political need, just because the mainstream society needs to unite black people now!
But few people, including Duke, are surprised by this situation, and this is the Oscar, the movie and the role are not the only conditions for winning, not even the key conditions.
Political correctness has a profound impact on the Oscars, and skin color determines the attribution of the best actor and actress.
I'm very unhappy!
At the Vanity Fair party. Nicole Kidman looked at Harry Berry, who was surrounded by the crowd and said to Duke, If I lose to Judi Dench or Renee Zellweger, then I have nothing to say. , but lost to her...
No way, dear.
Even Tom Cruise saw it very clearly, Who made you not a black man.
Damn politics! Nicole Kidman cursed in a low voice, Damn skin color!
Then she switched to a lower voice, so low that only the three of them could hear, Damn nigga!
Hey, Mary, Duke reminded the ever-tempered woman. Such words are not suitable for the current situation.
I'm just unhappy!
If there is no possibility of touching, that's fine, but the golden man is right in front of him, but he lost for some inexplicable reason. Nicole Kidman is inevitably mentally unbalanced. Seeing that smug look of Harry Berry, I just...
Her teeth were almost clenched.
After several years of cooperation, Duke and the Cruises have maintained a good relationship, and they rarely hide their emotions in front of him.
certainly. Their cooperation with Duke has benefited a lot, and it is also in this way to bring their relationship closer.
How smart is Nicole Kidman. Duke knew all too well that her resentful look was genuine, and he didn't bother to explore what most intrigued him about the couple. It's because they haven't had any signs of getting divorced yet!
Just like the fading memory, Nicole Kidman starred in the previous movies one after another, but the difference is that, for example, this year's Moulin Rouge and Moment, which is said to have started shooting, the biggest The investors are all from Tom Cruise...
This Oscar, gave me a great feeling.
Tom Cruise, who hasn't spoken much, suddenly said, It's true that this is the most authoritative award in Hollywood, but there are too many factors that can affect it...
He suddenly patted Duke's arm, Just like the two of us, those old men have a deep-rooted prejudice against us, no matter what efforts we make, they always turn a blind eye.
So, Mary, you don't have to continue complaining. Duke laughed at himself. I'm more unbalanced than you. I only got three consolation technical awards out of thirteen nominations. Who am I going to complain to?
Having said that, Duke has an open-minded face. If he thinks that the film and characters are good enough, he should get a bunch of golden statuettes, which can only be said to be too naive.
Chatting with Tom Cruise and his wife about the sequel to Mission Impossible, a tall figure suddenly came over.
Hi, Nicole. Hi, Tom.
She first greeted the Cruises politely, then turned to Duke, her polite smile replaced by a familiar one, Can we have a few words, Duke?
sure.
The person who came over was Charlize Theron. Seeing Duke nodded, he took him to the large terrace of the banquet hall. He found a table away from the crowd. After sitting down, he asked for two glasses of soda.
You haven't come to see me for a long time.
Putting down the water glass, Charlize Theron looked at Duke, Have you forgotten me?
Darling, stop joking. Duke gently turned the water glass in his hand, reminding her intentionally or unintentionally, I already have a girlfriend.
Charlize suddenly tilted his head and said in a joking tone, Why not me?
We've had a great time getting along over the past few years, Sally. Duke frowned and said a few words, I remember I mentioned to you, if I find a girlfriend, what are the conditions...
So, you chose Ivanka Trump from outside the circle?
In fact, Charlize has known this for a long time. Although she is very interested in becoming Duke's girlfriend, she has already become famous. Giving up her career and quitting Hollywood to be someone's girlfriend is a path she will never choose.
Sally, let's get down to business.
Duke knew very well that Charlize wouldn't come to him just for this.
Charlize knew Duke's style of doing things, so he didn't go around in circles, and said directly, I received an invitation, a very special role that requires me to pay a lot, I don't know if I should take it, I want to ask for your opinion. .
What role? Duke asked curiously.
Have you heard of Erin Warnos?
Seeing Duke's memory, Charlize explained, A female serial killer, she killed six men, including a policeman...
Hearing these words, and with Charlize Theron sitting in front of him, Duke gradually remembered, I saw her case in the newspaper before.
Someone's trying to make a movie about her? Duke asked.
Yes... Charlize nodded earnestly, and also sent me an invitation, so I was a little embarrassed.
She paused and took a sip of water. I had a conversation with the person in charge of the project. It takes a lot to play this role. I have to gain at least 30 pounds and shave my eyebrows...
Appearance is a woman's second life, and Charlize is obviously very hesitant.
Duke rarely interferes in other people's private affairs. Even if Charlize Theron has maintained a long-term sexual relationship with him, he will not directly influence her with his own opinions.
Sally, you didn't reject it outright, but you had concerns about the role, right?
Is such that.
Hearing Charlize's answer, Duke added, Why didn't you turn down the role? What can this role bring you?
Change, change the image of my vase. Charlize said, turning to look at the banquet hall, where Harry Berry was, bringing the affirmation of honor and authority.
Duke didn't say anything more, just left the last sentence, Dear, you need to judge whether it is worth it or not. I can only tell you that your chances of winning the Oscar for Best Actress through normal means are very small.
In fact, in terms of Oscars, Charlize Theron is very similar to him. Both of them are famous for commercial productions, and they are the type discriminated by the academy. They do not take advantage of some special situations and want to win the Oscar statuette. too difficult.
Duke also knew very well that taking advantage of the accumulated advantages of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, coupled with the favor points saved by the Christopher Rockencourt incident, two years later was his best chance, and with his character and production The style will not be made for the purpose of winning awards in the future. The future Oscars will only be more political and niche, and the intersection with him will only become less and less.
The Academy Awards Ceremony was completely over, and Duke, regardless of the outside world's criticism of Oscar and the grievances for him, concentrated all his energy on the post-production of The Return of the King and the pre-promotion of The Two Towers.
With the awards season coming to an end, the media has once again opened the curtain on various Hollywood stocktakes in the past year, and Duke-related news easily grabbed the headlines of various entertainment editions.
On the Hollywood Reporter 2001 North American box office rankings, The Fellowship of the Ring, which had just been released from the theater market, won the No. 1 North American box office with $473.15 million, without any suspense, and at the same time with $1.1 billion $32.14 million won the global box office champion.
The second place is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Although this film has not yet been released from North America, its 328.95 million US dollars is enough to guarantee it will take the second place. It also ranks in the global box office. In the second, $892.33 million has been received so far.
In addition, The Hollywood Reporter also announced a list of the most anticipated movies in 2002, The Two Towers and Reloaded ranked first and second by absolute advantage!
At the same time, in the top ten Hollywood gossip scandals of 2001 announced by Vanity Fair, Duke also entered the list for the first time. Just as he thought, Ivanka Trump's extraordinary identity has been destined to be this. Duan will be very eye-catching romance.
This, combined with the overwhelming publicity from Warner Bros., makes The Two Towers even more compelling.
What's more, in addition to various rankings in the entertainment industry, Duke also entered the Forbes rich list for the first time! (To be continued ~^~)
