Chapter 929: The City Government Is Not Enough
Unless thousands of judges went out of their heads at the same time and voted all the votes for films other than The Lord of the Rings, leaving Leila empty-handed. Otherwise, this Oscar will be destined to create a new history and write a perfect end to the 80th anniversary celebration.
However, there is not even a 1% chance of such a bad situation, unless they really want to stop the Oscar history at the number 80.
Think about what would happen if the big hit "The Lord of the Rings" didn't even win a single award, or only won two less-than-important small prizes. Fans of Layla and The Lord of the Rings will definitely exert their powerful fighting power to accuse Oscar of injustice, and at that time, will anyone still think that Oscar is just?
If it can't even do that with impartial authority, then what is the need for it to exist?
Besides, if she is really treated unfairly, it is possible that the disheartened Leila will withdraw from the Oscars from now on. She is only 27 years old, and she has not even reached the golden age of directing, and with her previous shooting strength, she may continue to shoot in the next few decades, bringing dozens or even more excellent movies to the world.
If she can maintain her quality and continue, she will definitely stand at the highest point of cinema in the future and become the film god of this world. If such an influential person in the film industry has rejected the Oscar, then does the Oscar still have authority?
It is estimated that it will not be long before it will disappear into history.
Just as Leila continued to be distracted, the awards ceremony finally began.
To celebrate the 80th anniversary, the Oscars have produced a retrospective short film. cut a lot of classic shots, and put some classic films. Lyra's previous Best Picture win in Chicago also featured a few small clips.
Looking back, singing, dancing, etc., Leila wasn't really interested. She believed that the other nominees should be waiting for the final result as she did, but there was no expectation on their faces, and they all acted as if they all liked the performance.
Maybe she still lacks something in the city, right? Lyra involuntarily lost her mind again when the host told me about the previous strike.
If someone, especially her enemies, knew what she was thinking, they might be tempted to rush over and bite her. How did they lose to her before?
Whether it is a war of public opinion, a "hand-to-hand combat" directly on the schedule, or some conspiracy and trickery in secret, they have not won once! No matter how the situation is very good for them at the beginning, she will only be the one who has the last laugh!
Such a terrible woman still dares to say that her city government is not enough? If she says such a thing, she is not afraid that the heavens will not be able to stand it, and she will be sent directly to the catastrophe to become an immortal!
Finally, the first award kicked off the Oscars with music and applause.
Her men subconsciously sought out Roy's, and intersected his fingers.
Roy smiled, wrapping his other hand around their intertwined fingers. I hope to spread all her anxiety and nervousness at this time to herself, so that he can share it for her.
According to the process, the Oscars generally put heavyweight awards at the back, such as Best Picture, Director and Best Actor. This time was no exception, and the awards were presented at the beginning of the year with less important and technical awards.
In fact, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is not very important, even one of the most neglected awards still occupies a very large weight in the minds of filmmakers.
If you want to make a good movie, you can't do it without these combinations. Why is Leila's team called Team Dreams? Aren't they the winners of important awards, even if they haven't won yet, they've already been nominated.
So in some entertainment circles, it's really unrealistic for the protagonist to sweep the awards by himself and the team that was temporarily pulled up. No matter how good the protagonist is, no matter how good the director is, it is useless if it doesn't work in the later stage.
Some of Leila's team are from the Immortals, they have been in the company since the time of Reynolds, and they are also considered to be experienced in a hundred battles, and they are definitely very experienced. There are also some newcomers recruited by the New Talent Program, and they also need to hone for a period of time in the films directed by the New Talent Program before they may be absorbed into a better Dragon Soul company.
The last part comes from recruitment, and there will always be some great people who are on the periphery of other companies. Some of them prefer a freer way of working together, some prefer a higher income, and some are not appreciated for a variety of reasons.
In the end, such a group of people gathered under the banner of Leila, some of whom were directly recruited by her into her team, and some of whom were accepted into the company for other films. In short, under her leadership, the more and more mature team is exactly what she can do wonders.
"I feel like there are a couple of films this year that are gaining momentum. Roy deliberately found a topic to distract Lyra's "nervousness".
"Hmm. "No Country for Old Men" and "Juno", I think they will be very strong opponents. Leila nodded in agreement.
Without her existence, these two would have achieved very good results at this year's Oscars. One is a work that has attracted wide attention since the beginning of filming, and the other is a shining dark horse. She is also not sure if she can still get the results that "The Lord of the Rings" should have achieved under the impact of these two movies.
""Blood is Coming" is also a film with a lot of demand. Roy reminded: "Lewis's performance was outstanding. ”
Leila smiled: "No matter how good Lewis's performance is, it has nothing to do with us, do you think any of us can compete for the best actor?"
Roy then remembered that none of their eleven nominations had anything to do with acting, not even the supporting roles.
"Well, our film is really peculiar. "The movies that can win so many nominations are already brewing a sweeping trend, but no actor can compete for the acting award, and it is estimated that no one will believe it before.
When "Titanic" swept the Oscars, although it did not win the acting award, it was nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress.
"This can't be helped, we are a group drama, and everyone's performance is very good, but unfortunately there are too few scenes in the film. "Wouldn't it be a pity for Leila? If only she could get a few more nominations, it would be good to be able to tie the Titanic's record.
After all, she still hopes to be able to push down the big Buddha that is pressed on her head. It's a pity that at least not this one is good yet.
