Chapter 453: Mobilizing the Teacher
The controversy between Donn and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association immediately became the focus of controversy in the entertainment news section of the United States.
Natalie also enjoyed the treatment of a top superstar, which made headlines in major entertainment pages.
Kirk Douglas has been paying close attention, and is quite amused by what Don did, "Through this means, make that little girl popular, this kid, the routine is really a bit evil." ”
There is no doubt that no matter how the debate between Donn and the Golden Globes turns out, Natalie Portman is completely on fire!
Who is the Queen of the Golden Globes this year?
Most people can't tell.
But who is Natalie Portman?
Almost everyone who pays attention to entertainment news is familiar with it.
In the past, Natalie's code name was "Queen Amidala" and "Done Walker's girlfriend", but this time, she finally became a household name through "Juno", through the controversy between Don and the Golden Globes!
Star making, many times not only through movies, public opinion hype, is also a big way!
It's just that this method is too trendy and opportunistic for an old antique like Kirk Douglass, and he is very disdainful.
Just now, he and the Foreign Correspondents' Association made a promise on the phone that Natalie Portman will not be nominated for this year's Oscar for Best Actress!
Kirk Douglas responded categorically on this point.
But in my heart, I deeply disagreed.
In his opinion, the bigger the Ballon d'Or and Donn, the better, and the longer the better.
What if Natalie gets nominated for an Oscar?
The situation of the Oscars this year, he has communicated with the senior management within the academy, must be the subject of political correctness. Not to mention the actress, even if it is an actor, he has to fall into the pockets of people of color.
If Natalie had not been nominated for an Oscar, the controversy over the whole affair would not have fermented, on the contrary, if Natalie had been nominated for an Oscar, it would have put Donn and the Golden Globes in a dispute.
Anyway, Natalie can't win the award!
Let them fight endlessly, for the best!
In Kirk Douglas's eyes, the group of people in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association have long lost the forge ahead they were decades ago and have become a group of moths that suck the flesh and blood of Hollywood.
Every year through the Golden Globe Awards, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association earns at least $100 million!
Where does all this money go?
In the early years, the members of this association were all elite entertainment reporters from all over the world, and every entertainment report could often form a great influence.
But now?
More than one-third are full-time members. Their usual job is to run the Golden Globe Awards to make money, as if turning the sacred movie auditorium into a tool for making money!
The remaining two-thirds, although they also publish some articles in various newspapers and magazines, but on average, each person publishes four or five articles a year, and most of them are unknown small media outlets, which have completely lost their influence.
If the Hollywood Foreign Press Association now had the kind of public opinion incitement in the early years, would Don dare to challenge the Golden Globe Awards?
The more than 90 member reporters, with just a pen in their hands, were able to incite public opinion and drown Don with spittle.
But now, the Hollywood Foreign Press Club has long lost the aura of the written word of the past.
From this point of view, Kirk Douglas supported Donn in exposing the inside story of the Golden Globes.
As a veteran filmmaker in Hollywood, he certainly hopes that the Golden Globe Awards can be more objective and fair.
……
In the matter of Natalie's nomination for the Oscar, Kirk Douglas deliberately released the water.
On the one hand, he hopes that the battle between Don and the Golden Globe Award will not subside as soon as possible, but will intensify and lengthen the battle line, so that Tang En will be frustrated;
No matter how smart Tang En is, he can't calculate that this old fox has long regarded the Golden Globe Award and himself as a pawn and played with it in the palm of his hand.
He's also working hard to get Natalie an Oscar nomination.
Francis Coppola, Steven Spielberg, Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, George Lucas, Tom Rothman, Ron Meyer, Tom Hanks, Tim Burton, Alan Horn......
He contacted almost every person who had some influence in the industry and had some friendship with Donne.
"Don, you don't have to, they don't have to...... Can't help much. ”
Bill McNick is sitting in Donn's car, and the two are on their way to Legendary Pictures' headquarters.
There, Michael Ovitz contacted several CAA bigwigs and would consult with Donn about Natalie's nomination for an Oscar.
Tang En's morale was a little low, "If there is a glimmer of hope, you can't miss it!"
Bill McNick shook his head, "It's hard. The list of nominees for the Oscars is not voted on by the judges, but by a panel of judges within the Academy for each project, which is entirely the result of internal discussions. ”
Don gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, Nat must get this nomination! Even if it is an internal election of the academy, we must find a way to promote it through external forces! I don't believe that the strength of so many people is not comparable to that of a Kirk Douglas!"
Bill McNick said in a deep voice: "If these people you contact, they can stand up and speak for you, of course, more than Kirk Douglas." Will they stand up and speak for you at a critical moment? Greetings will reach his ears sooner or later. In Hollywood, no one wanted to offend him, not even Spielberg. ”
"Hey!"
Don let out a long sigh.
The list of Oscar nominees must have internal greasy.
In his previous life, James Franco directed and acted in a movie "The Disaster Artist", which had an excellent reputation, and his performance was also very good, and he was considered a strong contender for the Oscar!
In the Golden Globe Awards, he won the Best Actor award as expected.
But then, the "Me_too" movement intensified, and James Franco was suddenly caught in a sexual assault scandal.
A few days later, the list of Oscar nominees really lost the name of James Franco.
The Golden Globe Award actor was not even nominated for the Oscar, which was very miserable.
Fortunately, Donn incarnated as a messenger of justice this time, and for the rights and interests of Hollywood filmmakers, he singled out the Golden Globe Awards, demanding fairness, justice, and openness, on the surface, it must be politically correct.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at Legendary Pictures.
Scold!
Full of friends!
In addition to Donn's old acquaintance, CAA's president Brian Lorde, several other CAA bigwigs also appeared-
Lee Gabberle!
Kevin Hovein!
Rick Nisita!
Jack Ripke!
These are the executives who hold the power of the CAA, and they are the top agents in Hollywood!
Of course, it also includes Michael Ovitz, the former founder and big boss of CAA!
Seeing this scene, Tang En couldn't help but be a little moved.
He took a deep breath, buttoned his clothes, stood on his legs, and bowed deeply: "Thank you! Regardless of whether Nat can be nominated for an Oscar or not, CAA's contribution in this incident will never be forgotten by Don Eun!"
All the bigwigs of the CAA went out collectively, and it must not be pretending.
It's almost all or nothing!
Between Don and the Golden Globes, they chose Donn!
You must know that most of the hundreds of artists in CAA, except for a few top superstars, are counting on the Golden Globe Awards to enhance their personal value.
CAA has to risk sacrificing the interests of hundreds of artists for the sake of a Natalie, which shows how big the bet is this time.
You must know that the interests of artists are the core assets of the brokerage company!
This time, CAA is completely betting on Don.
Brian Lord immediately walked up and helped Don Off, angry and funny, "Don Grace, what are you doing here? Natalie is an artist at CAA! Speaking of which, I have to thank you for this, if you hadn't been in charge, she wouldn't have been able to transfer her agency from MA to CAA." ”
The current chairman of the board of directors of CAA, Lee Gaeberle, also stood up with a smile and a very solemn tone: "We all know the cause of the incident. There is someone behind it...... Forget it, leave him alone. In this matter, we will join forces, and no matter what, we will also push Natalie to the list of nominees for the Oscar!"
