Producer [American Entertainment]

On December 1985, 12, the independent film "The Purple" directed by Spielberg was officially released in the United States, and the box office was unexpectedly much higher than the professional team expected.

In the end, "Purple" won the fourth place on the North American box office list in 9000 with a box office of 85 million.

The box office champion is "Back to the Future 3" co-operated by William and Miguel. There is no doubt about it. The box office of 500 million is a perfect ending for the entire film series of Back to the Future.MiG, who originally planned to keep a low profile for a while, was inevitably pushed to the forefront again.

The words of slandering MiG, in turn, fell to such a monotonous focus-his homosexuality was brought up again.

What's new this time is that Miguel's rumored boyfriend in high school was interviewed by a local newspaper in Hollywood.

When William saw the news, his face was very ugly, and he was mainly angry with himself. He knew early on that he would use money and the bodyguard team headed by Shirley to settle MiG's adoptive parents in Philadelphia, but he forgot to seal the news. The mouth of "first love"!

"He wasn't my first love, so it's not your bad idea, I don't have anything to do with him. He's just the captain of my high school football team, and he thinks he's so charming that everyone in the world should like him, but in fact I'm sick of him." MiG didn't have any expression on his face when he spoke, because he had already lost all sense of the campus bullying that happened to him in the past, just like Nietzsche's poem said - what can't be killed Mine will only make me stronger.

Before William and Wendy could say anything, Miguel tried to persuade them again: "Speaking of which, I should also thank him. He always spread rumors that I was gay in school before, which made me get kicked out before I really came out." When I left home, it was much easier. My classmates were the quickest to accept it, and they all had expressions of 'this is no longer news, okay?'."

"Really, there's no need to be angry for this kind of person. What he needs is attention. If you ignore him, he might be able to blow himself up on the spot instead."

William and Wendy were a little dissatisfied, thinking that MiG was just too talkative, and they had to find a way to get back on the field.

As a result, before William could make a move, the man had no voice anymore, just as MiG said.

"Look, if you ignore him, he won't last long at all." MiG spread his hands, "Some people are like bed bugs. If you argue with him, it won't do any good other than lowering your self-worth."

The cousin who shared the worries of his cousin silently decided to hide his merit and fame.

"Aren't you busy recently? Do you still have time to pay attention to my affairs?" MiG tried to divert William's attention.

As one of Spielberg's friends, William also joined the team cheering for "The Purple" and began to gather strength for the upcoming Oscar.

"The original author doesn't want to see me, what can I do?" William looked helpless. The original author of "Purple" had some deep-rooted prejudices against William. Before, he disliked the films produced by William as too commercial. Now even if William won the Oscar again, she I still feel that William's Oscar PR is too utilitarian. "I can understand why she thinks this way, but what should I say? I don't know that the other party doesn't like me, but I just want to rush to please."

William also has his pride, which is the precepts and deeds taught to him by the family he lived in since he was a child, which has been integrated into his blood and engraved deep in his soul. The pride of bowing his head.

"I can understand your difficulties, but that doesn't mean I owe you what I deserve because of this understanding." Mother Mary said.

On March 1986, 3, the 24th Oscar was still held as scheduled at the Los Angeles Music Center under the name of Sabatino.

William also attended this Oscar in a low-key manner. First, he expressed his support for Spielberg. Second, because "Back to the Future 3" also had some fragmentary award nominations. Film awards.

"It means that I've been spoiled in advance, and I'm sure I won't be able to win the best picture consecutively?" William joked to the person who sent the invitation. That person is Wheeler's old friend in the academy and has always taken care of William.

"I really can't bear to hit you, kid, but your Back to the Future 3 wasn't even nominated for Best Picture, remember?" The old man also had time to tease William.

"It really breaks my heart, but it would make me feel a lot better if my buddies beat me."

On the phone, the old man said meaningfully, and then said: "You can't fool me this way, Will, and I won't spoil in advance whether Spielberg can get what he wants this time."

"QAQ why are you so wise..."

"Because your acting skills are too bad, young man, work harder."

Elderly people especially love to play tricks on their grandchildren, and William doesn't mind having such innocuous interactions once in a while. After all, one of Oscar's important strategies is to have a pleasing personality.

There have really been actors who let themselves miss the Oscar because of their "not too humble" acceptance speech at the Golden Globes.

The old man's heart is so mysterious.

"The Purple" has received 11 Oscar nominations, which is definitely not a low number. Although it is not as many nominations as William and Miguel received last year, it is not much in the previous Oscars. "The Purple" and Spielberg are still very optimistic, and Spielberg is even more determined to win the title of best director.

William's seat was next to Spielberg's, but after entering the arena, he didn't sit in his seat for a long time.

It wasn't until the Oscars officially started that William belatedly sat back.

"Where have you been?" Spielberg looked at William with Lucas next to him.

"This time around the Oscars have so many old friends who need to be greeted," shrugged William, who co-organized the Saint Denis Film Festival with Robert."Out of Africa" ​​starring Redford was also nominated for an Oscar. The heroine is a powerful actor Meryl, who is also the actress who played Aunt Elizabeth's mother in William's last movie "Because We Are Family". There are also actor Neil and two-time Oscar queen Sally who are award presenters... "I want to solve it once, so that I can spend the rest of my time on you."

"Don't you think your sweet talk is more suitable for beautiful girls?" Lucas looked at William jokingly.

"They're not as important as Steven." William said it from the heart, because he doesn't like girls, er, or boys, he only likes Sabatino.

"Well, I admit that I am pleased by you." Spielberg followed with a smile.

"My pleasure."

Unfortunately, Spielberg's good mood did not last long. "Purple" had 11 nominations, but none of them won.

Yes, the reality is so cruel.

This year's Oscar, for Spielberg, is not like the honor of having won 11 nominations, but more like a capitalized humiliation.

Spielberg didn't even know how he left the Los Angeles Music Center with a blank mind.

Of course, he found out later that he was surrounded by William, his wife and Lucas back home.William and Lucas didn't stay long, and after confirming that Spielberg had nothing to do, they left together.Because obviously, what Spielberg needs at this time is the comfort from his wife and newborn child. It is impossible for him to want to show his vulnerability to too many people, even the best friends.

"11 nominations, 0 awards, I probably have created an Oscar history?"

Spielberg recovered quickly, and the next day he called William and Lucas respectively to thank him. Without William and Lucas' improvisation, he didn't know how the newspapers would arrange his last night. gaffe.

"At least you let Oscar remember you." William could only comfort Spielberg in this way.

"You also made Oscar remember you, but you won the award." Spielberg didn't want to say that, but he couldn't control it at all. At that moment, he realized that he was wrong. He thought he had recovered, but in fact No, "MiG also let Driver O remember him, and he also won the award."

"You don't think that's fair?"

"You think it's fair?"

"It's not fair." William said honestly, "Before I came into contact with these things, I always thought that the Oscar was the fairest award in the world, representing the pinnacle of film art, and the lifelong dream of everyone in the film industry. I came to the United States I just learned that the Oscars need rehearsals, Oscars need public relations, Oscars need means, and it’s not as beautiful and fair as I imagined. But so what?”

Spielberg did not speak, but chose to listen quietly.These words of William were not close friends, he would definitely not say them casually, because just one sentence taken out of context would allow him to say goodbye to Oscar.

"Meryl knows, right? What a great performance she did in "Out of Africa", which was the best picture at this year's Oscars, but what happened? Meryl lost to Paige, with one of us Everyone knows the reason why she lost to Peggy, and Oscar is paying back Peggy's favor from last year. Meryl didn't lose in acting skills, but just lost to this unfairness.

"But will Meryl get depressed because of this unfairness? No, she will never give up if she doesn't win an Oscar, and if she doesn't win several Oscars, I won't be willing to do it for me.

"Even Meryl can use the Academy's guilt for her this year to try to do PR for next year.

"It's the same for you. I believe you will have your own Oscar, it's just a matter of time. You were not the only one who failed last night. I, Lucas and the public relations team who helped you win the Oscar, for us It's all a failure. But so what? If you win it back, you'll have it? How about it? Would you like to do it all over again with us losers?"

It was a long time before Spielberg replied to William: "I do."

Since he couldn't even make a successful transformation, he might as well just continue to follow his usual routine, alternating between a business and an art. He doesn't believe it. When countless people think his movies are great, he After fighting with Oscar for decades, they can really not give him a single award!

It would be cool to win an award like that, even if you insisted on yourself, but also forced the other party to give him an award!
