Hollywood Rhapsody

"Chicago" led the way with [-] nominations, followed by "Gangs of New York" with [-] nominations. Because she was a senior fan of Leonardo, Sarah knew that Leonardo did not get nominations in her previous life, but this time Once, he not only won the first Golden Globe Award ahead of schedule for "Gangs of New York", but was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. How much of this was due to his breakthrough in acting?How much is because of Harvey Weinstein's PR?Because the things that happened in the two lifetimes were too different, Sarah couldn't explain the cause and effect.Because of her appearance, many people and things are different from the previous life, and Leonardo is probably the most affected! ?

Sara finalized the release of "Butterfly Effect" with the manager of the distribution department with rather complicated moods. She was fascinated by watching the rebroadcast of the Oscar nomination luncheon on TV. As a nominee, Leonardo answered in an interview: He was well-behaved, but knowing this man very well, she could see the excitement hidden under his decent smile. She knew better than anyone else his desire for a statuette, or the pinnacle, but would he do anything for a statuette?He probably won't, but some PR gurus aren't sure.

When she saw the list of nominations for the best picture, Sarah also had to lament Harvey Weinstein's skill again, because except for the movie "The Pianist", the other four nominations for the best picture were all with Harvey Weinstein. Stein, "Chicago," "Gangs of New York" and "The Hours" are all produced by Harvey's Miramax Films, and "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is Harvey Weinstein. Serve as film producer.In such a list of nominations, as long as "The Pianist" doesn't win, Harvey is the biggest winner—four out of five!Who else can make an Oscar film so extreme?Naturally, this discovery cannot escape the sensitive media. Amid the uproar, the media has already exalted Harvey Weinstein to the altar.

However, under such circumstances, the film "The Pianist", which was not labeled as "Harvey", won the British Academy Award for Best Picture. As one of the important outpost awards, the British Academy Award is the British Oscar. Quite worthy of attention, will "The Pianist" beat Harvey's four films to the top of the Oscar?Many people waited to watch the excitement. The performance of "The Pianist" should not be underestimated. With the Bafta Award and the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, perhaps it will continue this good luck to the Oscars.However, most people are still not optimistic about "The Pianist". After all, this is not an American movie, and the Oscar is an American movie award...

The awards public relations are at the final stage, and here is the media report that Roman Polanski, the director of "The Pianist", is a rapist and pedophile!There is even an old testimony from the victim from 30 years ago that was published.When this kind of taint is exposed, the director's film will naturally be kicked out of the best picture, "The Pianist"... OUT!Is the timing too coincidental?Not only Sarah thinks so, but others are also wondering, is this news released by Harvey Weinstein?

Sarah is not interested in Roman Polanski's revelations, but she is worried about seeing another one related to Leonardo being revealed by Harvey Weinstein, and she does not want to put Leon on the road to glory Contaminated with too utilitarian colors, and even left a tail that is criticized.With this concern, Sarah called Harvey Weinstein.

"Sure enough, you know all about it! That's right, I was the one who bought the surveillance video of the restaurant at the police station..." Harvey Weinstein admitted frankly on the phone that there was no one behind the scenes who bought the video, and he immediately The most critical video was obtained, but it was not released to justify Leonardo's name.And he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and he was even quite confident, "This is Hollywood, there is no pure good or bad, let alone pure fairness, everything is just to achieve the ultimate goal. And, you think no one else Thoughts on that video? Honestly, if I had been 10 minutes late, the video would have fallen into someone else's hands."

"Who is it?" Sarah clenched the phone tightly and asked, but a name popped up in her mind.

Sure enough, Weinstein on the other end of the phone laughed and asked: "Can't you guess? Although I will use all means for the award, I will not drag innocent people into the water for no reason, at least if I can choose." Under the circumstances, I wouldn't take the initiative to do this kind of evil... Heck, Chris Cooper was really good in "Adapted Screenplay", and his PR team is not good!"

Sarah listened quietly, lowered her head slightly, and didn't speak again for a long time. At this moment, she even regretted the call she made, and even complained why her brain was so smart. If she was a little stupid, if a little slow, maybe she would still She can continue to enjoy the tension of the awards season and the process of looking forward to the announcement of the awards, but now, what she sees are not acting games one after another, but public relations tricks!Of course actors have to improve their acting skills, and they have to find a good PR for themselves...

Rubbing between her brows, Sarah suppressed the annoyance that welled up in her heart. When she was forcibly decapitated because of "Sarah" four years ago, she deeply realized that Hollywood is not a beautiful ivory tower. Knowing connections and public relations skills is also part of strength, and knowing that Harvey Weinstein is not a good stubble.It's just that when she was the victim, she had sufficient reasons to fight back, but when she was behind the scenes, she would feel a deep sense of guilt. Even if this was not her award, she thought Leonardo should be the same as her.

So she couldn't help asking the question she cared most about in a low voice: "So what are you going to do next? You left that video until the end and still haven't released it. Could it be...won't you want to put the blame on Ke? Rhys Cooper?"

Sarah admits that her brain hole is a bit big, but it is indeed a good method. If Harvey Weinstein uses the method to release the video, it is said that it is from the computer of Chris Cooper's public relations team. out, then this news is enough to push Chris Cooper into the abyss.

"Now I understand why New Line was recruited. Sarah, are you interested in playing PR with me? It's very interesting to think about these awards every year. This is a game for smart people like you and me." Harvey Wei Ernstein was joking on the phone, but he didn't deny that Sarah's heart was half cold. She didn't want Leonardo's first statuette to be won by such means.

However, her wishes do not represent Leonardo. Perhaps...Sarah suppressed the idea that came up. This is a question that cannot be pondered. Request: "Tell Leon, he has the right to know, and also has the right to choose."

She believed that Leonardo would have the same pride as herself—the pride of being an actor.

"You..." Harvey Weinstein smiled innocently on the phone, as if he was a fat monk with a smiling face and a kind heart. Before hanging up the phone, he didn't forget to repeat it again to Sarah: "Girl, this is Hollywood and it's all just a smart man's game."

game?Perhaps, based on Harvey Weinstein’s achievements, someone in the previous life made a boring statistic. In the acceptance speeches during the awards season, the number of times to thank Harvey Weinstein is 5 times more than to thank God, which proves that What a high-end game player this fat man is, no one would doubt that he is the "No. [-] player in the server".

but……

People sometimes stumble, horses stumble, and masters stumble sometimes...

Just when Sarah was secretly glad that she hadn't seen any "Video Gate" and was caring for Leonardo, who had been in a slightly abnormal mood these days, a piece of news related to Harvey Weinstein and the Oscars just happened. There was a thunder on the ground, and the entire awards season public relations battle was brought to a halt.

Perhaps it was because Harvey, a public relations guru, was too proud of the success, so he lost his sense of proportion in the "Gangs of New York" public relations campaign. The dead fat man invited Robert Wise, the director of "The Sound of Music" and former president of the Academy, to write an article , hailed Gangs of New York as a classic that cannot be ignored and deservedly won an Oscar for Martin Scorsese.As a result, it was soon revealed that this article was written by a Miramax propagandist, and the 88-year-old Robert Wise just signed it tremblingly!

Once the incident was exposed, more awards public relations methods were disclosed anonymously, and the significance of public relations and the fairness of the Oscars were also questioned by the media——

"Did the award public relations cause Oscar to lose the fundamental meaning of establishing awards?"

"Do the statuettes belong to excellent filmmakers? Or do they belong to excellent public relations managers?"

"Is Hollywood's annual extravaganza nothing more than a PR game?"

I don't know if there is a hand behind these headlines that is fueling the flames, but the final result is that the academy was furious, and even issued a ban on "prohibiting the quotation of the members of the academy for advertising", and the first ban was aimed at "Gangs of New York" Poor old Martin became the No.1 who took over the rage. It was obvious that the manuscript was run by Harvey Weinstein, but this fat man was just a trader behind the scenes, and his name was not mentioned throughout the text of the manuscript. !

With such an unpleasant beating, when the Oscars officially kicked off on March 3, Gangs of New York, which had eleven nominations, ended up with nothing, ten to zero!This disparity seems to be a slap in the face, which slapped Harvey Weinstein in the face, and even made the Oscar tragedy of "Gangs of New York". Not only did Martin Scorsese miss his last The best director, Leonardo also passed by the best supporting actor statuette who is close at hand.

Because of this, Leonardo's hat of "Hollywood's No. [-] Unlucky Guy" continued to be firmly on his head. He obviously made amazing breakthroughs in acting skills, and his performance in "Gangs of New York" was not inferior to the recognized Acting genius Daniel Day-Lewis...

This is really the closest he has been to the statuette since he was in the film industry. Even the media complained for him after the results were announced. When will Leonardo's bad luck end?Michael Ovitz's love triangle was inexplicably involved and beaten, and Martin Scorsese's best director's public relations draft was innocently affected. The statuette is a bit wronged!

pity……

It's a pity...

The Academy finally awarded the best supporting actor to the 78-year-old Paul Newman. Any one that was obviously involved in the public relations award did not go well, and Leonardo could only wait for next year under the title of "unlucky guy". Let's fight again!I just hope that his next new work can maintain a good performance. It would be great if there are more breakthroughs. Oscar’s unjust, false and wrongly decided cases can’t be counted on both hands, so it’s best to take advantage of the judges’ memory of his grievances. Time to hit.

The entire awards season has finally come to an end after twists and turns. With this year's public relations chaos, people can't help but start to wonder whether next year the public relations players will act in a low-key manner with their tails between their legs.After witnessing the "Gangs of New York" tragedy, Leonardo seemed to be very touched, and soon began to shoot his long-delayed one-man film "Sniper Phone Booth", hoping to improve his acting skills .In private, he was quite complicated. While regretting that he had missed the golden man, he was also glad that he resisted the temptation and rejected Harvey's research plan.Although the power of public relations is indispensable, in the final analysis, acting skills are the last word. The sentence "You are still young" that Sarah said to him on the night of the ceremony was really true. Adrien Brody of "The Pianist" became The youngest actor in Oscar history, and this title that can be paired with Sarah, he still has a chance to rush!

On the other hand, the public relations battle also made Sarah more determined to fight for her acting skills. Regardless of the final award of "Hope", this movie dedicated to Katharine Hepburn does not need public relations!No PR!

The story of a serial female killer is named "Hope", but reading the whole script only makes people feel deeply hopeless, and watching Sarah who has completed the "big fattening career", whether it is Ada or Janet She was also desperate at times, and when Sarah, who was still considered a fat beauty, was transformed into a slovenly ugly prostitute through the extraordinary work of the make-up artist, Janet was already lying on the make-up artist's empty table, wailing and laying dead.

"Do you have to dedicate yourself to art like this? Can't you wear a prosthesis? Nicole Kidman also wore a fake nose in "The Hours"! Our special effects department is not very strong. We use silicone to make a fake stomach, Fake fat shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Janet really wanted to cry, what could be more heartbreaking for a movie fan than watching an idol ruin herself?She did not deny that she admired Sarah's professionalism, but she still felt that the ugly, fat and sloppy woman in front of her was a bit horrible.

"Don't look so disgusted, Janet, do you like me only because of that face?" Sarah hit her assistant on the head with the script angrily.

But the little girl gritted her teeth and hummed: "That's right, but... I just know that if it wasn't for your beauty, I wouldn't have paid so much attention to you in the first place..."

"Looking good is always more popular, innate resources..." Sarah poked her "perfect" ugly makeup in the mirror. Being close to the prototype of the character, tossing one's body like this is also an actor's job, "To be honest, I hope that all fans will like me because of my performance as an actor, but I also know it well, now I have to come My popularity is largely due to this face, think about the nicknames given to me by the media after the Oscars, fat woman? A lump of meat? Five months pregnant? You are really welcome!"

"Ahem...Actually... There are still many people who are attracted by your personal charm. At least many of my partners and I fell in love with you not only because of your face, but also because of your strength and optimism in chasing your dreams. "Jennet scratched the back of her head and smiled, and showed an idiot face that did not lose to Leonardo at all to the ugly Sarah, "I will follow in your footsteps of fame, whether it is acting or Studies, love, we will accompany you to grow up like this, the more we understand you, the more we will fall in love... So, just play the character you like as much as you want, even if your big screen image this time is an ugly fat girl, we I will continue to love you!"

"...Is your name Janet DiCaprio? Although I know I'm going to play a lesbian in this drama, but honey, you're not my type..." Sarah rubbed her arms deliberately and laughed She flinched, she knew that Janet was her hardcore movie fan, but this was the first time she confessed like a passionate love, to be honest, she... was really touched, gaining [-] kilograms was so important to her Words are indeed quite a challenge!Without her beauty, how many people still love her?

The author has something to say: Stupid author [uneasy face]: Without her beauty, how many people still love Sarah?

*********** Also, the next one is hesitating between "Unruly Sky" and "Shichuan".

"The Uninhibited Sky" is still Meiyu, the story of River Phoenix being thrown down by his "successor" Leonardo.However, I just wrote a book of Leon, and I will write another book of Leon. The stupid author is also afraid of aesthetic fatigue. Phoenix River & Little Lizi, this pairing of stupid authors is on the tip of my heart. I am afraid that I will write the skin and waste it ,Ha ha ha ha.

"Shi Chuan" is China Entertainment, it's not considered a fan, it's an original drama.A supernatural story of a rich second generation and a starlet hunting ghosts together.I have wanted to write a supernatural thriller novel for a long time. Although I don't know what kind of virtue I can write, my hands are itchy. (Actually, I’m hesitant to write about Tanmei or romance, it’s just a story, the focus is on the plot line of ghost hunting, male or female, stupid authors are very cute)

Of course, "Rhapsody" will be finished first, so that Leonardo and Sarah can live happily ever after.The story frame is built, and it feels like the protagonist really exists in the stupid author's heart, hehehe, there are still many stories and scripts waiting, when will it end?
