[US Entertainment] Kise's Hollywood Diary

The new year is here, and the summary of the whole year of last year is basically rushing to publish the first issue of the new year. The French and Italian editions of Vogue have finally reached an agreement with the team behind Frank to directly prepare for the quarterly issue in March 2007. Cover shoot.The mainstream brands in the United States still send invitations to those who insist on it every year. Except for Vincent’s "Vanity Fair" issue before the Academy Awards last year, basically they can’t get on. Frank would try to avoid such occasions—

"People" and "Vanity Fair" are relatively mainstream, but fashion-oriented magazines can easily distract Vincent's character settings.Coupled with the cover shooting of those top fashion magazines, it is easy to give people a sense of "star" that shines too much.Take "vogue" as an example. The fashion in the US version is different from the European version in Italy and France. Whoever is popular and hot can be featured.

Under this influence, the cover of "vogue" is more like a weathervane of hot people nowadays.To put it nicely, the American version of fashion is extremely "pragmatic". Whoever is valuable can be on the cover that countless people dream of.

In addition to Vincent's endorsement brand and the matchmaking cooperation between the magazine brand, Frank also tried to reduce the weight of this kind of work. It's not good to do too many things with the collapse of people.

After all, whether it is an actor, star, or singer, establishing a successful external image is not just an overnight effort.From his debut to now, Vincent seems to be going smoothly on the surface. Good resources, a good team, and good luck have given him his current status, but the premise of all this is his own image and value.

Frank's consideration is necessary and has long-term significance.It is a very disadvantageous thing to fix one's own image, development scope and direction prematurely in the golden age of heyday.A good image can be persisted, but an image that is too complex and has messy components needs to be "trimmed" diligently and carefully.

Hollywood is a place where people can become popular overnight and fall from heaven to hell in an instant.Veterans who have seen too many ups and downs naturally know what method to use to create a gemstone that can last forever. It is extremely short-sighted to excessively consume the luster of a gemstone and polish its edges and corners.

Whenever Vincent said "I want to be a star", Frank used inexhaustible resources and countless methods, allowing him to shoot endless magazine covers and accept endless endorsement advertisements 360 days a year , Endless fashion shows, endless entertainment variety shows.

If some things are done too much, the audience will lose their freshness, and if they watch too much, they will not want to cherish it.Just like Vincent updates his Facebook status once a quarter, even with this update frequency, his personal homepage still maintains a record of being one of the most popular on the entire network.

Leonardo is no exception. From the moment he truly determined his ambition, he only took the boutique route.Whether it is interviews, talk shows, magazine covers, or endorsement ads, the work at hand is carefully selected by the Schulte team, and Leonardo is allowed to take over after considering that there will be absolutely no faults.

Although this reduces a certain share of the exposure rate, to some extent it increases the favorability of ordinary people from a very large population base.

Therefore, when January just arrived and the Golden Globe Awards announced the nomination list for the 64th session, when everyone looked at the nominations for Best Actor in a Drama Series, they couldn't help feeling relieved Feeling, as if this list should be like this - some people are not hidden, it is not because they are not confident that they don't show up.But if you don't make a song, you will be a blockbuster.

The selection of both "The Departed" and "Blood Diamond" made Leonardo the first actor to be nominated for the best actor in the history of the Golden Globe Awards. Excellent performance also earned a nomination seat.

As a result, there are only two nominations for the five best drama actor nominations each year.

Will Smith of "Happiness Knocks" and Forest Whitaker of "The Last Dictatorship" were selected.

Regardless of how fierce the nominations from other departments are, the struggle of these four people alone is enough to form a complete Shura field.Interestingly, Vincent and Leonardo are white, while Will Smith and Forest Whitaker are black, and the battle between black and white also started at the same time.

The competition for the best actor in a drama is a bit confusing. Johnny Depp has been shortlisted for the best actor in the Golden Globe Awards for four consecutive years. The list of the best leading actors, this sequel to the series released on July 2 continued the glory of the first film. Last year, it gained nearly 7 million in the global box office. There are still some countries and regions that have not yet released it. The total box office is still rising.

In addition, Will Ferrell was shortlisted for "Life is Fantastic". He also competed with Vincent for the Best Supporting Actor Award in the same session for "Golden Producer" he starred in last year.The next three nominations were split between Sacha Baron Cohen for "Borat," Aaron Eckhart for "Thank You for Smoking" and Chiwetel Ejiofor for "Boots." .

This list looks impressive at first glance, but the gap is still very obvious.

If this year's list of Oscar winner nominees is to be determined from these two lists of best actor, most film critics can easily give their answers.

After the nomination list for the Golden Globes came out, Leonardo was in a state of being both happy and unhappy. He got double nominations in the same unit. From the perspective of probability, this is not a good thing-which actor would like to see his votes divided by his two works?

Vincent felt vaguely in his heart that neither he nor Leo had a high probability of winning the award. When he won the Golden Globe all the way to the Oscar last year, some media used labels such as black and white actors and British Oscars to talk about things.

The White Oscars are a satire of the academy's exclusion of black actors and films from its selection, while the British Oscars refer to the overwhelming majority of Oscar winners being actors of British origin.

Anyway, no matter how the awards are judged, these labels will be used repeatedly every year to talk about things.Even the host of the Oscar added this phenomenon to the host's strings, and satirized at the right time, which won the applause of the people sitting in the Kodak Theater without embarrassment.

This is almost unavoidable: the prosperity of Hollywood corresponds to the sluggishness of the European film market. As early as when the influence of the Oscars became bigger and bigger, European film talents began to flood into North America in large numbers.

And the internationalization of the Golden Globes and Oscars means that these awards are fundamentally inclusive of all situations.It doesn't matter whether the actors are British or Indian, or whether the winners are white or black, and whether the winning films are about homosexuality or racism.

Jamie Foxx of "Soul Singer" won the Oscar winner, and Vincent became the youngest Oscar winner in film history with the same theme in the second year. This is undoubtedly a provocative ending.So obviously, this year is the time when the academy jury will take the blame and put an end to the mess.

The actress unit was uneventful, the highlight mainly being that Kate Winslet was able to successfully seal the queen this time.In addition, Meryl Streep, who made another great achievement with her performance in "The Devil Wears Prada", was also on the list.The remaining ones that can cause topics are Beyoncé Norris' "Dreamgirls" and Helen Mirren's "Queen".

The favorites to win the awards steadily took on most of the hot topics of the Golden Globes, while the unpopular nominees should pay close attention to public relations in the remaining half month.Last year's awards season dragged on too long, and this year's Golden Globe Awards has only half a month left from the announcement of the nomination list to the official holding.

The Golden Globes and the Oscars are separated by a bright Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony.In addition, there are several important film critic awards in North America that have announced the results of this year's awards.Although the wind wasn't blowing hard enough, it could still attract a lot of attention at such a critical moment when the topic was sensitive.

The Best Actor corner of the Screen Actors Guild Awards went to Leonardo, which is a good sign.Last year, Vincent, who won all the winners of the Film Critics Association, Screen Actors Guild Awards, and other international film festival winners, relied on this sweeping momentum to rush all the way to the Oscars.

Leonardo is now in the limelight, and the entanglement caused by the diversion of votes for double nominations in the same unit was quickly dispelled by the steady stream of "Best Actor" trophies. When he was so happy that he almost got carried away, he thought Get up—Huh?I am competing for the same award with my boyfriend!

There was nothing Vincent could do about it, so let him be proud for a while.

Almost every one or two days during the awards season, there is a banquet that must be attended. Maybe it’s just a group of nominees exchanging experiences, maybe there are other producers, distributors, and film company executives present, but they can at most The people who can be influenced are those actors and stars who are neither high nor low, and more than enough.

The big names in the $2000 million club, or the acting kings who hold the statuettes in their hands, rarely need to condescend to negotiate with these people. They choose the script themselves, and the negotiation is left to the team behind them. Single handedly.

Vincent is now among them. He casually leaned aside with a glass of wine, looking through the crowd and colliding with someone.The other party nodded towards him, and walked towards this side with strides.
