atypical hollywood life

Taking a disgusted look at Margaret's stunned stupidity, Rebecca continued to teach her science,

"At that time, the doctors diagnosed her as a vegetative state, but Depp still stayed by her side, and even turned down a film contract. He read poems to her in the hospital every day, and I didn't know how much he cried at that time. The supernatural paparazzi once sneaked into the hospital and took pictures of Winona Ryder lying on the hospital bed. It should be said that she really deserves to be a 360-degree beauty with no dead ends. She is lying on the bed like Sleeping Beauty. At that time, Depp Angry, he not only beat the paparazzi to the hospital, but also sued the newspaper office in court. It was quite a big deal at the time. Then I don’t know if his affectionate call played a role, but Ryder really woke up Come here." Rebecca herself felt incredible, this is a movie, right?Too sci-fi?

"Then it was a long and difficult rehab, and by the time Ryder was fully recovered and out of the hospital they were married. So I say you're lucky that Ryder's car accident didn't happen this year, and she's on the upswing in her career. The child's plan, otherwise the Best Supporting Actress is really hanging."

It's not that Winona Ryder will win in this case, but the winning rate is indeed higher than Margaret's. After all, Margaret is blessed by herself and her mother, and Ryder is completely on her own.

Just like Elizabeth Taylor back then, in the Oscar competition in 1961, Billy Wilder's "Peach Apartment" became the number one hit due to its outstanding film quality, and the heroine Shirley MacLaine also became the most popular. The most popular award contenders for Best Actress, and the main force of the best actress competition also includes "Rising Sun"'s Gloria Garson and "The Sunset" in Deborah Kerr.At that time, Elizabeth Taylor's name was not in the list of film critics or academy judges.

But the world is unpredictable. Elizabeth Taylor almost died of pneumonia due to surgery during the filming of "The Whore". MGM seized this point and made a big publicity.

All of a sudden, major newspapers in North America began to praise Elizabeth Taylor. The media praised her from her beauty to her professionalism.Her chaotic love history and bad marriage, which were criticized by the media before, were also considered to be "charming and passionate" and "amazing charm". Poignant and beautiful love, this incident also aroused the dissatisfaction of Taylor's then husband Eddie Fisher... These voices of sympathy and praise continued to ferment under the vigorous promotion of MGM.

On the night of the award ceremony, Taylor, who was once regarded as a "bad boy" by Hollywood, won his first statuette in tears under the expectations of everyone.Shirley MacLaine, who regretted the defeat, recalled afterwards: "I lost to a tracheotomy!"

Since then, the illnesses and hardships the actors encountered during the filming period have become the "bright spots" that must be written about in the public relations of the awards season. Of course, it would be better if you hang up after finishing the film. Well, as long as the quality of the film is decent and the distribution company is strong enough, everyone else will make way for you, and getting the trophy is just a matter of letting nature take its course.

Therefore, Rebecca is feeling, Margaret is really lucky.

This year's competitors did not undergo surgery or die, nor were they married or pregnant. It would be unreasonable not to give her an Oscar for her mother and grandfather, as well as her super-age acting skills.

As for the other award, it depends on the group of straight white old men at Oscar. It depends on whether it is given to Lilian in accordance with Oscar’s consistent principle of respecting the dead, or to Mr. Cruise who suffers from "depression" according to the usual practice, or to give it to Mr. Cruise. Both awards went to "Interview with the Vampire."

But if you think about it carefully, Mr. Cruise has an advantage. After all, he has been nominated for Best Actor and won the Golden Globe Award.Pete Postelswhite and Ralph Fiennes are both foreigners, and their qualifications are not superior. Leonardo DiCaprio is too young and has even less qualifications. Not a threat.

But the Oscar's Best Supporting Actor has been in nursing homes most of the time. Tommy Lee Jones is old enough and qualified enough to play the role of sheriff he is best at, which is really hard to say.Now let's see how many sympathy votes "depression" can bring to Mr. Cruise. It's so bitter that people want to shed tears of sympathy for him.

Let's not talk nonsense, no matter how much Rebecca and Margaret complained about Oscar, Warner Bros. is going crazy.

These are five nominations. "Interview with the Vampire" has been in theaters for more than a month, and its box office performance has dropped steadily. However, as soon as the Oscar nominations came out, the box office immediately saw a significant increase. Not only was it attracted by the Oscar name The audience who went to the theater, and those who have watched it before and now revisit it, are all money. It seems that we still have to push harder and strive to turn several nominations into statuettes.

And the newspapers from all walks of life are still singing their big plays. The difference is that now that the nominations for the Oscars have come out, some people's targeting policies have undergone some subtle changes. I'm looking for something for myself.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye in the circle of Tom Cruise's little shit knows what it's for.

It's just that everyone thought that he would sue these tabloids to protect his reputation as before, but he never expected that he would be so shameless that he would use his strength to completely turn the other party's malicious attacks into his own advantage public opinion.

My God, look at those housewives, shedding tears in front of TV interviews, while buying tickets to go to the cinema to support this scheming boy, so that even if he can't get the statuette, he won't lose money if he has a high box office.A good PR is really important.Hollywood stars all complained about this guy who got lucky and asked which PR company he used.

At this moment, these people don't know that the shameless PR they are thinking about is being forcibly opened another even more shameless door.

"You used this method to publicize Oscar before?"

Margaret showed an incredible expression, no wonder Tom hasn't won an Oscar for decades, she really wants to wake up these people, wake up, babies, Oscar is not as noble as you think, look Look at what the Weinstein brothers have done, and look at the tens of millions of public relations expenses in the new century, what are you thinking!

Pat Kingsley was a little guilty when she looked at her, and she kept comforting herself that the other party was a little girl, and she didn't know some things, but she still felt so ashamed, what should I do?After all, I learned a very shameless trick from her and carried it forward.

Mr. Cruise is also very confused, lobbying at the reception, lobbying at the canvassing meeting, Oscar banquet... Isn't this a normal Oscar procedure?After all, this is an Oscar, and it's not some miscellaneous small awards. Some methods are not available.

"Oh my god, lobbying and making phone calls, are you still living in the 80s? Everyone knows that half of the Oscar judges voted without watching those movies at all, and you didn't rush to take advantage of this opportunity, you are really brave!"

Margaret doesn't even know what to say, mom, is this really a Hollywood vampire?Why can't you even understand this kind of common sense?

"You mean... bribery?" Pat Kingsley said hesitantly.

"How can it be called election bribery?" Margaret jumped up with a thud, wishing to pry open her stubborn head. She usually makes ups and downs in the media, so how come she can't figure it out here?

"If you want the judges to vote, you have to make sure they've seen the movie, right?"

Seeing that the two nodded, Margaret continued, "What do you want them to see? Go into the cinema?" She shook her head before the two answered.

"Take my own example. Arthur never goes to the cinema to watch movies. Every year, the voting is basically decided by the phone and the movie reviews in the newspaper. You don't know how many people rely on various relationships. To get the nomination, sometimes Arthur can receive dozens of calls a day, including human relations and public relations companies, last year I even answered a call for Arthur, do you know who that person is?" Margaret sneered.

"Clint Eastwood! He and Arthur are old friends. After the two chatted, Arthur made several phone calls to canvass for him. Do you really think you can get an Oscar by doing nothing? Or Do you think Tommy Lee Jones’ connections in Hollywood for so many years are fake? Don’t make trouble! Even if the publisher is Warner Bros., can the son be divided into relatives and adopted sons? They are dying on hostile awards If the two don’t help each other, it’s impossible to expect them to help you suppress Jones, are you so dazzled by the recent good results that you didn’t even think of this?”

Margaret sighed deeply. This group of people relaxed just as soon as they extinguished a crisis. Come on, it’s not that there are no cards turned over at the last moment. If you don’t keep an eye on the process, are you waiting for the big prize to fall by the wayside?At the same time, I also feel that the current Hollywood is not the Hollywood that was fully exposed to the public. After all, some things are still spread in a small area, and the last fig leaf has not been torn off so far.

Pat Kingsley and Tom Cruise are also very helpless, but their connections are indeed not as deep as those of the acting families that have been rooted in Hollywood for many years. Legs, no one can deny this.
