[US Entertainment] Top Hollywood directors

"I went to Paramount and asked where the PR was headed."

"They said they were going to apply for a lot of categories and then decide on further plans based on the nominations."

Claire sat on the sofa, thinking about the meaning of his words: "What are there?"

Phillips thought about what Brad said before: "Best picture award, best director award, best editing award, best episode award and so on. Their first step should be to get involved."

"It seems that whether we can get Paramount's public relations power depends on whether the jury nominates the best director."

When Brad received the box office results, he showed joy: "Prepare for public relations, especially for the best picture, and send a few more people to find the judges." In recent years, as one of the eight old film companies Paramount's Paramount has become more and more sluggish in recent years, and many people feel that its prestige has dropped sharply.This is because Paramount has ruined whatever it has made in the past few years, and there are no good movies that can sell well.It has not had a film that can compete for an Oscar for many years. This time it has fought such a turnaround, so it will naturally allocate resources to this aspect.

As for why Paramount wants to run for the film for various awards, it is actually for the greater good.Various awards are like golden statues, adding more brilliance to the film itself.

Celebrities, food, a cozy environment, and pleasant conversations are just the "starters" of winning votes in an Oscar public relations campaign.Ambitious film producers know that these investments are meaningful, because winning the favor of the academy and the judges, nominations and even winning Oscars can bring great financial returns.The re-screening of films, the release and reprint of DVDs, the sales of peripheral products, and even the investment in other films of the company seem to be a matter of course. This is the "reputation" effect.

Attended a breakfast date with "Finding Neverland" director Mark Foster, had lunch with "The Aviator" actor Leonardo, and had an evening date with "Million Dollar Baby" director Clint Iss Tewood has a drink with the hero.It sounds like a dreamy schedule, but it's just a normal day for a judge during awards season.

In order to attack the shell, Brad specially invited the Chairman of the Oscar Organizing Committee, Sid Ganis, to dinner.

Sid Ganesh has a prestigious and accomplished career profile, including President of Paramount Pictures, President of Worldwide Marketing and Distribution for Columbia Pictures, and a corporate executive for Lucasfilm USA.

After leaving the front line of film production, he was elected by the American Oscar Organizing Committee as the chairman of the Oscar Organizing Committee and became the highest chairman of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Brad raised his glass and said to Sid, "I think the taste of this restaurant is still as good as before."

Sid slowly cut the steak on the plate: "Old man."

He raised his head: "You came here specifically to let me have a meal?"

"Our nominations are up and I want to know how the nominations go," Brad said.

Sid paused his hand and asked him, "What kind of result do you want to hear?"

Brad: "That's the result."

Sid: "As an old friend, you know. The recent turmoil in the screenwriters' union is not small, which makes people in the organizing committee need to consider more things." Whether it is the production of the nomination list or the award list generation.

He didn't intend to say more: "I can only give you an inside message. The number of votes is balanced, so the result has not come out. Because there are still a few judges holding the most important votes."

Juno is one of the few who has yet to vote.Facing the materials of many films sent to her desk, she thought about the final choice.On the table next to her, she has already made a list for this time.The approximate order has been arranged by her.She glanced at the name on it, the best director nominee.

She has to watch each movie for a whole day before deciding on her favorite degree.She was one of the few people who didn't like being courted by PR parties. Knowing her preference, Paramount didn't come to her because it was useless.Juno hates those who make bad movies and think of ways to do it.She is a very conservative academic, but there is nothing she can do. There are many such people, so there is Harvey Weinstein who is good at directing "injustice" to help them.

Currently, her favorite is Martin Scorsese's "The Aviator".

However, Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby" is also very competitive in her heart.She is still struggling with who she should vote for.

She looked at the Blu-ray disc in her hand. This was the last movie.

She put the disc in a DVD.

There was no other sound in the room. My niece, Angelina Jolie, knocked on the door, but there was no answer for a long time. The door was slightly closed, and she saw that Julie was sitting on a chair.She leaned in: "Auntie?"

Juno seemed to have just recovered, and asked the person at the door: "Ah, it's Julie, what's the matter?"

Angelina looked at the movie on the screen and looked very familiar: "Is this Ghost in the Shell?"

"Ah."

Angelina picked up the water glass on the table and asked: How is the situation now? "

Juno was lost in thought at the moment, and answered her after a while: "If it were you, what would you choose?"

Angelina picked up her backpack beside the table, stopped, and looked at her face: "Didn't Auntie have a choice in her heart?"

Angelina took out her mobile phone from her backpack, and saw the message from the crew urging her to come back: "I'm leaving first."

"As expected of my baby Jack, you really understand me."

"Don't mention this to me."

Juno propped his head excitedly and said, "Look, your IDs are all like this, you still like this nickname."

Faced with her aunt's ridicule, Angelina silently packed her things and rushed to the set.

The author has something to say: a meme, Angelina's previous nickname was Jack.
