Before entering the hotel, Leila and Roy are surrounded by a group of reporters.

"Director Moran, how do you feel about the nomination of "The Lord of the Rings" this time?"

"Do you think the Golden Globes are unfair?"

"Can you comment on the most nominations for Brokeback Mountain?"

"What's going on?" Roy whispered as he helped Layla out of the microphones that were about to reach her face.

Leila squeezed his hand and gestured to explain to him for a moment before turning to the reporters and smiling, "Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain is a good film, and it deserves those nominations." As for why "The Lord of the Rings" didn't get it, I think it's probably because there are too many strong competitors this time. ”

After speaking, she nodded to the reporters, ignored the continuous questions, and pulled Roy into the hotel.

"My Lord of the Rings only got four nominations this time, while Brokeback got seven, and there were rumors out there that we were discriminated against by the Golden Globes. You know, many people are aware of the characteristics of those judges and critics, as long as it is a high-grossing film, it will be considered a commercial film with no connotation. ”

As she walked towards the hotel, she explained to Roy. He's been on the crew, so it's not surprising that he doesn't know much about these situations.

"Why is there an idea that there is no connotation when the box office is high? Didn't "Titanic" also win the global box office of 1.8 billion, and then swept all the awards?"

Layla smiled and shook her head: "Not every film is Titanic. When I also have a movie that can get a box office of 1.8 billion, I can probably sweep it too. ”

At the beginning, Cameron's "Titanic" received 14 nominations at the Oscars, of which 11 won awards, equaling the highest record in the film history of "Ben Hur", I don't know how many people were shocked.

Is the movie really that good? She doesn't think so. That's right, the movie is exquisite, touching, and the special effects are impeccable. But compared with many previous swept films, it still lacks a little bit of the "connotation" that critics like to say in some places.

What did Titanic teach you? Isn't that what the judges like to measure by their own standards? They want to see something more profound, not a bunch of images that have been piled up with money. But they obviously threw this rule aside when facing "Titanic".

So many people around the world watched the movie and created so many box offices, making it the first in film history in one fell swoop, surpassing the second place by a large margin. At this point, the film is no longer a separate film, but has become a phenomenon, a terrible hurricane. Anyone who tries to resist this trend will eventually be blown to the bone.

I also want to know what happens when someone stands up and takes responsibility for its shortcomings when people around the world say they like it. It's not that he thinks he's being unconventional and has his own ideas, but that he's grandstanding, he's funny, and he's a madman.

The judges are also human beings, and they even cherish their own reputation more than ordinary people, which is why "Titanic" will return home with a full load at the Oscars.

So Leila thinks that one day, if she also makes such a film that can sweep the world, and the box office also becomes the first in film history, she will definitely win the Oscars. But if she wants, she doesn't need to be so troublesome, she can take out the films that will win good awards in the future and shoot them, after her processing and the publicity of Moran's media, I believe that the competitiveness of the awards will definitely be much higher than the original.

"The Lord of the Rings is very good this time, with good word of mouth and good reviews, and I think you have a great hope of winning the award!" Roy knew what she wanted, and although she kept saying that the arrogant judges couldn't give the award to the younger her, he still felt that the other nominated films simply couldn't compare to hers.

Leila smiled and shook her head, "Impossible. Whether it's the Golden Globe or the Oscars, it's impossible to give me the award. Regardless of the age limit, look at the people who nominated with me, George Clooney's "Good Night, Good Luck", Steven Spielberg's "Munich Tragedy", Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain", Peter Jackson's "King Kong", and Fernando Merrills's "The Immortal Gardener", all of which are quite competitive in terms of film and director. Even I can't say that I can take the trophy away from them under fair circumstances. ”

Roy didn't think so: "That's right, those directors are all big directors, and they all have made very good works." But have you forgotten one thing? You, Leila Moran, are also the best directors in Hollywood, and do you think they can match what you've created?"

He wondered if the movies those people had made added up to what she had gotten.

This is really not his fantasy, but there is a real basis. Spielberg probably didn't get the most box office among these people, right? I don't think the other guys have as many movies as him. And Spielberg's best-grossing ones are just "Jurassic Park" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", how can he catch up with the box office miracles created by Leila?

He can't say the exact number, and he doesn't know how many movies he has made and how much box office he has gotten, but he knows one thing very well, that is, the ten films that Leila has brought over the years are definitely the box office that any other director needs to look up to. Don't forget, one of her worst movies got a global box office of 300 million, and the highest, "The Lord of the Rings 1", even won 1.4 billion!

Leila was stunned for a moment by his words, indeed, she always accidentally forgets that she is no longer the self in her previous life, and has made so many classic films one after another over the years. If Nolan has made eight films in ten years and walked on the road to becoming a god, then didn't she also use ten movies to prove that she has stood on the top of Hollywood?

"Thanks, Roy, you always know how to make me happy. That's what makes her happy.

Roy took her shoulder and kissed her on the forehead, "Who makes you happy, so I will be happy?"

The two were talking, and they had already entered the venue of the award ceremony under the guidance of the staff.

"Director Moran. ”

"Leila. ”

"Hi, Roy. ”

Seeing the two of them come in, many people gathered around to greet them. Roy is because of his own friend-making attributes, he can make friends wherever he goes, and he can make friends with anyone with a few words. He has been in so many crews over the years, and it can definitely be said that he has made friends all over the world.

And Leila, she is the top director in Hollywood. The main thing is that she has unlimited potential, she is not yet thirty years old, and she can make more excellent films in the next few decades at least, how can she not have a good relationship with such a director?
