[US Entertainment] Best Director

"Sagan" has a global box office of 5600 million in the first week!

This is the first time that a French literary film has swept such a huge trend in Hollywood!

There is no denying it!Prairius created a myth!A box office myth of European literature and art!

And unexpectedly, this movie with such excellent box office, its word of mouth has reached an insurmountable peak, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Cate Blanchett. ...... Even Meryl Streep, who "must be nominated by law", praised the excellence of "Sagan" in the public media, and said that if she had the opportunity to look forward to working with Prairie think cooperation.

At the same time, Prairis officially signed the technical supply contract for "Avatar", which stipulates that she will provide "Dolby Atmos" technology to "Avatar" for free, but similarly, after "Avatar" is released, In addition to the ordinary 3D screening points, all income from the "Dolby Atmos" screening points set by her will go to the "Dolby Sound Studio".

The "Dolby Audio Studio" represented by Prairis officially became one of the producers of "Avatar".

The success of "Letters from Iwo Jima" and "Sagan" at the box office made Prairis a hot new star in Hollywood. Almost everyone knows that there is a young girl named Prairis, She still makes good movies.

After attending several parties in Hollywood and exchanging contact information with Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Tom Cruise and others, Prairis returned to France.

Luc Besson intends to let "Sagan" run for this year's Cesar Awards, and publicize the three awards of Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress.

It is also about the cultural differences between the United States and France. The public relations model of the César Awards is not as crazy as that of the Oscars. Perhaps there is also a reason why the French regard themselves as noble. , and left in a hurry without saying anything.

Until the day when the nomination list for the Caesar Award came out, Prairis was still ignorant.

But the result was not bad. "Sagan" won a total of six nominations. In addition to the expected best director, best picture, and best actress, there were additional nominations for best supporting actress, best adapted screenplay and Best Original Music.

However, Luc Besson seems to be very dissatisfied with this result, because "La Vie Rose" starring Marion Cotillard in the same period received twelve nominations for the César Awards.

"How is "Sagan" worse than "La Vie en Rose"? Prejudice! It must be prejudice!" Luc Besson frowned.

Prairis said calmly, "It's just a nomination, not the final award."

"Now the number of nominations is reduced by half, who knows what will happen to those old guys in the end."

Luc Besson seemed a little angry, picked up his mobile phone and started calling the jury.

"Sagan" is an excellent film. It would be a pity if it was deliberately suppressed just because of the jury's prejudice against "Hollywood".

Luc Besson knows how easy it is for the jury to "suppress" a film.

The call was quickly connected.

Jacques Rivette's voice appeared on the other end of the phone.

Before Luc Besson could speak, Jacques Rivett said.

"Hey, Luc, I know what you want me to do, and I'm also troubled by it."

"what happened?"

"You know, in previous years, the number of conservatives and cutting-edges was the same, but this year's jury suddenly has several more conservatives. They always think that movies that have won high box office in Hollywood are not artistic enough."

Jacques Rivette's voice is slightly tired.

The verbal confrontation for three consecutive days made his voice a little hoarse.

""Sagan" is not artistic enough?" Luc Besson almost laughed angrily. "That's not what they said before "Sagan" was released in the United States."

"People are always forgetful, let alone four months have passed."

Luc Besson frowned, and before he could answer, he heard Jacques Rivett say again.

"Marion Cotillard is bound to win the Caesar Award this time. As far as I know, most of the jury members are planning to vote for her. As for the best director and best picture, the conservatives are inclined to Abdell Kosch's "" The Seed and the Mule."

"What do you mean?" Luc Besson frowned.

"This year's Cesar Awards, "Sagan" may fail." Jacques Rivette said.

"No harvest?" Luc Besson repeated in disbelief.

"Yes." Jacques Rivette was a little tired.

In fact, the six nominations for "Sagan" were also guaranteed by him to the death. Originally, the committee only planned to give it the best original music.

Nominations are so difficult—let alone wins?

Jacques Rivette sighed.

Luc Besson was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

It is said that Hollywood is exclusive, but in fact?

Ryan Gosling is Canadian, Sarah Paulson was born in Florida, Amy Adams was born in Vicenza, Veneto, Italy, and Natalie Portman was born in Jerusalem— —

As long as you look at Hollywood movies, you will be surprised to find that whether it is a director or an actor - they all come from different countries, different nationalities, they may have different beliefs, different skin colors - but one thing is the same , that is the love of "movie".

It is undeniable that "Hollywood" relies on its factory-like capital invasion and assembly-line production of genre films. While truly turning "movies" into commodities, it has also influenced generations of filmmakers.

Hollywood's systematic scale system makes him diverse and complicated.

This is something that French cinema will never have, because in Hollywood cinema is a commodity and in France cinema is a work of art.

Artwork can never form an industrial system, and it is also far narrower than commodities on a certain level.

"Sagan", which is highly sought after in Hollywood, is destined to be discriminated against by conservatives because of its high box office.

Luc Besson expected this a long time ago, but what he didn't expect was that the conservatives didn't even do superficial efforts, and directly let "Sagan" "get nothing".

After thinking for a long time, Luc Besson picked up the phone and called Charles, the editor of "Movie Handbook".

Straight to the point.

"Hi, I want you to write another story."
