Chapter 501: Public Opinion Raiders
The list of nominees for the Oscars in January is about to be announced, as is customary, and the media has made a general prediction about the awards.
The Golden Globe shortlist, known as the vane of the Oscars, has already been announced, where "Life of Pi" has received 4 nominations, while "Lincoln" has received 7 nominations.
The media sorted out the situation before and after, predicting that in addition to these two Oscar hits, there are also "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds" and "Escape from Tehran", which are also very competitive.
Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Actress, everyone's attention is mainly focused on these four awards.
Compared with the competition of the other three awards, the actor award that Gan Jing is most concerned about has some wonderful disputes in the mouth of the media.
This is not to say that Daniel is one-sidedly supportive, but many media either hardcore support for winning the actor, or completely disdain their performance.
"Andy, what do you think is the reason for this?"
Gan Jing shook the "New York Times" in his hand and asked Andy, who was looking down and pressing his mobile phone on the other side.
Andy glanced up at Forrest Gump, who was surrounded by makeup artists, and replied angrily: "You can fix your show well." ”
Today is the last talk show, and the host Ellen DeGeneres is the only host to host the Oscars, Grammys and Emmys, and she is very popular, inviting all kinds of celebrities to share life anecdotes, love stories or performances.
Obviously, Forrest Gump is a guest who came to share the performance.
"Eh, it's boring every time I put on makeup. Gan Jing was speaking in Chinese, and then continued to say in Chinese with an unchanged face, "Makeup artists, if you can understand Chinese, then I apologize, not dissatisfied with your work." ”
Andy was a little speechless, and he answered Forrest Gump's previous question after sending a freshly edited text message on his phone: "Acting is sometimes a matter of opinion, which also gives the media room to comment." This year, Weinstein's goal should be to use "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" to compete for Jennifer for a movie queen, and he also intervened in the competition for the actor, but he just wanted to muddy the waters. ”
"News like the New York Times, you don't have to worry about it except for, and you don't have to worry about it. Andy scolded eloquently, "It's all guys who take money to do things." Except for Weinstein, it's basically small and medium-sized companies like Dune that are doing things together. ”
Gan Jinggang wanted to nod, but suddenly thought that the makeup artists were busy, so he stopped this impulse.
After a while, his voice rang out again: "But the New York Times is praising me." ”
"......" Andy was dumbfounded, it turned out to be a friendly army? Hmm, the 40-meter broadsword had already been taken out, so he could only reluctantly say, "Then you don't have to go to him." ”
Gan Jing said dissatisfied: "Can you not show off and curse in Chinese." ”
“O**K。 Andy replied silently.
I'm afraid this guy is under too much pressure and starting to lose his mind?
Gan Jing looked at his own appearance in his glasses, and was quite satisfied with the work of the makeup artists here, and he waited for the makeup artists to completely stop before standing up and stuffing the New York Times into Andy's arms.
Being able to appear on the Allen show is not all because of Warner's public relations, but the show invited Forrest Gump a long time ago, but being able to adjust the time to such a suitable position is a manifestation of Warner's ability.
When to be on the program and what schedule to broadcast the program, these are all subtle points to guide media public opinion.
Of course, the selection of the Oscars is difficult for outsiders to interfere with, but those voting judges are all in contact with life, and they will accept news opinions intentionally or unintentionally - these are the potential influences, such as the New York Times has a huge influence in New York.
Gan Jing walked on the stairs to the stage, his mind flashed the public relations strategy he had discussed at the Warner meeting, and he also smiled at Allen, who stood up and greeted him with a smile.
"Forrest Gump, I really hope that I will host the Oscars this year, so that I may be able to witness the birth of an Oriental Oscar winner on the spot. Alan said with a slight exaggeration.
Gan Jing laughed again and again, then turned around and waved hello to the audience, here is the need to show his affinity.
There are many variety shows in the United States that have a very fixed viewing group, and some programs have been broadcast for as long as one or two decades, and their numbers are not the same.
Like another scheduled show, Saturday Night Live is customary to invite a Hollywood star as a host and a popular singer as a musical guest.
The equally popular Connor Show is commenting on recent news and interviews with celebrities from the political, business, and entertainment circles, and Jimmy, the host of Jimmy's Night Live, is famous for his spoofs and poisonous tongue - in fact, in the next few days, he also proudly commented that Forrest Gump appeared on various variety shows and did not choose himself, "Forrest Gump didn't dare to come to me to accept my poisonous tongue challenge".
What to do?
Such a person is that the more you care about him, the happier he is, and it is really not appropriate to follow this style of show during this period, Gan Jing can only choose to ignore him.
"We all know Forrest Gump is a tragic acting school. ”
On the Allen show, the host introduced the guests to those viewers who may or may not be familiar with it, "The acting school is because he is a natural actor, and he is a movie character who seems to walk in life, as for why it is sad, it may be Forrest Gump himself who introduces it." ”
Gan Jing shrugged his shoulders and deliberately made a bitter face: "Alan, do you mean that such a guy who has received your praise has missed the Oscar for two years in a row and is likely to set a record? Oh God, what the hell has he done wrong, and you have to punish him like this!"
For a while, the audience on and off the stage was amused by Forrest Gump's performance and burst into laughter.
Hey, it turns out that Forrest Gump can not only act in those feature films, but he himself is also very interesting and personable.
The audience who saw this issue soon in front of the TV refreshed the impression of the Oriental actors in their minds, and even had more tendencies towards the recent newspaper reports that were either for or against it.
Audience fans never rely on the real character of an actor to choose whether to support or not, they are just happy to use what they see to characterize the characters on the screen.
With such a high density, he traveled for three days in a row to record the show, and even Gan Jing knew that the result of the shortlist was only known on the way to record the show.
Needless to say, Life of Pi has been nominated for 12 Oscars!
Gan Jing was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor for the third time with the role of "Pi"!
