Most of the behind-the-scenes staff of this new crew were involved in the filming of "Dark City" before, and they are also very concerned about whether the film can be nominated for an Oscar. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Robert Downey Jr., Margot Robbie, and others, who came out of the dressing room, also walked to Gal Gadot and Emma Watson, who came with her to visit the class.

Murphy also walked over, casting a concerned look.

"Guess what...... Emma Watson deliberately sold off, "How many Oscar nominations did "Dark City" get? ”

James Franco was very familiar with her, and said directly, "Hurry up, don't be verbose." ”

Emma Watson glanced at Gal Gadot next to her and said, "Best Makeup, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Soundtrack, Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Editing, Best Original Screenplay, Best Sound, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Picture!" ”

After saying that, she asked Gal Gadot again, "Is that so?" ”

Gal Gadot nodded slightly.

"One, two, three......"

Jonah Hill, who was following James Franco, was counting the number of nominations on his fingers, "a total of thirteen Oscar nominations. ”

"Thirteen." Robert Downey Jr. repeated the number, with some regret in his tone, "Not the most ever." ”

Murphy laughed, "Thirteen Oscar nominations is a lot. ”

Importantly, "Dark City" received the four most important nominations: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Picture!

"Yes!" Seth Rogan chimed in, "Thirteen is quite a lot! ”

Everyone around laughed, isn't thirteen Oscar nominations too much?

Judging from the Oscar nominations, the previous defeat of "Dark City" at the Golden Globe Awards did not have much negative impact.

The vane awards that can really influence the Oscars are the major union awards within the industry after all.

After getting the Oscar nomination, it is natural to prepare for the final awards ceremony, and how many people who participate in the Oscar competition don't want to win the little golden man?

Emma Watson looked at the sound of heated discussions around her, and there was some envy in her eyes, if she could be nominated for an Academy Award for acting, where would she be so troublesome as today, and she couldn't get rid of the influence of Hermione Granger.

Thinking of the recent criticism of herself by the media and some people, Emma Watson is also a little helpless.

"Alright, it's almost time." Murphy raised his voice slightly, reminding those around him, "Get ready for the rest of the work." ”

The people in the neighborhood gradually dispersed and returned to their respective posts to prepare for the next shoot.

Emma Watson followed Gal Gadot and accompanied Murphy back to the director's monitor, and when she saw that Murphy was going to be fine, she leaned over and said with a grin, "Congratulations, Murphy." ”

"Thank you." Murphy turned his head to look at her, who were more familiar with each other, and said casually, "You've been in a lot of trouble lately." ”

"yes." Emma Watson shrugged, "Some people always like to stand on the moral high ground and attack others. ”

Murphy casually relieved, "It will be fine after a while, the criticism will not last long." ”

A few days ago, after the latest issue of "Vanity Fair" was published, Emma Watson, as the cover character, took some relatively large-scale photos for "Vanity Fair", which aroused a lot of criticism, and some people directly threw the criticism on her head.

In particular, some feminists blasted Emma Watson for hypocrisy, accusing her of seeing herself as a feminist, but still taking the kind of sexy photos that "please men".

There is nothing to say about this kind of thing, just like the Catholic attack on Murphy, no matter what is said or done, they always have an excuse and a reason to attack.

After a few conversations with Emma Watson, Murphy rededicated himself to filming.

Due to the use of an old-fashioned 35mm camera and film for this shoot, the photography aspect was also back to basics, with Murphy rarely intervening in the crew, and the photography was largely left to Philip Raschel.

Don't look at the shooting doesn't require too many skills, but it is also very basic skills, but Filly Raschel is not difficult to deal with.

Filming continued until nearly five p.m., when Murphy announced that today's work was over.

"I just read the script."

As they walked towards the door of the set, Emma Watson said to Murphy as she walked, "The content is amazing! Those reporters back then were also very courageous! ”

"For American society, bishops sexually assault children is a phenomenon that some people know about, many people don't know, and reporters stand on the opposite side of the huge power structure, accusing not one or two, or more than 70 bishops, but directly pointing to the Holy See's institutional cover and corruption."

What Murphy said were objective facts, "This is a story that has not been faced, has not been taken seriously, but has to be said, and unlike revealing the Watergate scandal or the nicotine abuse of the tobacco syndicate, the most difficult thing for them is not to get into the truth and repeatedly confirm the legal process, but to convince their hearts." ”

Then they walked out of the door of the set and were immediately surrounded by reporters, and the bodyguards quickly blocked Murphy in the middle.

The list of Oscar nominees has just been announced, and Emma Watson, who has been in the whirlpool of public opinion recently, is here again, and the enthusiasm of reporters can be imagined.

For the sake of the film's promotion and marketing, Murphy is also ready to give an interview.

Under the loud reminder of a bodyguard, the order at the scene gradually improved, but the bodyguards still firmly surrounded Murphy, for fear that a reporter would rush to Murphy.

The reporter and the paparazzi also quickly reached a tacit understanding and asked a few representatives questions.

In fact, these people are not stupid, if the scene is chaotic all the time, Murphy will just turn around and leave, and now he can still get some news.

After Murphy answered a few low-level questions about whether he was happy to be nominated for thirteen Oscars, a reporter asked about the current film.

"Director Stanton, why did you choose such a theme for your new film?"

"I feel that I have an obligation to let more people know about these things and these people, and know what efforts those journalists made for justice and truth in the first place!"

Of course the real reason is that Murphy won't, and what he says now is some righteous and awe-inspiring words, "How many people know about the situation reported by the "Focus" column back then, but they won't talk about it, because after weighing it, the social pressure and the actual benefits brought by this tall institution are far greater than the small meaning of being honest with oneself by telling the truth, and sometimes it will even produce the psychology of 'if I say it, am I betraying God and faith?' and 'Is my sacrifice dedicated to a greater meaning', so we have to praise the psychology of " Focus" group's courage, even though they just did their part. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said, "These stories that have not been taken seriously and taken seriously, but have to be told, can be told everywhere; The courage to stand on the opposite side of the power is too much for those who are caught in it, but it should be the duty of those who work in the media. Sometimes, if you want to make the truth clearer, you want to domesticate the power to be weaker, and the power to spur is heavier. ”

A reporter suddenly turned his attention to Emma Watson and asked, "What do you think of the recent criticism that Miss Watson has caused?" ”

Murphy, of course, knew what they were asking, looked at Emma Watson, and said, "Feminism is about giving women the right to choose, feminism is not about attacking other women, it's about freedom, it's about emancipation, it's about equality." I really don't understand what boobs have to do with it? It's very confusing. ”

Subsequently, the reporter turned the question to Emma Watson, who did not evade it and replied directly, "This incident made me realize that people still have many misunderstandings and wrong ideas about feminism. I was confused, and most people were confused, but I was really silently dumbfounded. ”

At this time, the bodyguards saw Murphy's hint, separated the reporter's encirclement, and let the three of Murphy get into the car together.

"Thank you, Murphy." Emma Watson said sincerely, "Thank you for supporting me. ”

Murphy smiled, "That's as it should be. ”

It's just saying things that favor Emma Watson, and it's not doing anything great.

Emma Watson also followed Murphy to Wave Manor, and the other members of the Stanton Party also drove here to attend Murphy's dinner together.

It's also a small celebration of the thirteen Oscar nominations for "The Dark City".

Since the 86th Academy Awards will not be held until early March, although Murphy will be busy with the filming of "Spotlight", the Oscars will not relax at all.

After the list of nominees was announced, the situation suddenly became clear, and Murphy could easily judge the biggest opponents, such as the most important four awards, he faced the competition for best director Alfonso Cuarón, and the best picture on "12 Years a Slave" was quite strong because of the special theme, James Franco and Leonardo DiCaprio died in the Best Actor It is not known, and Margot Robbie's Best Actress nomination is facing Cate Blanchett......

It is no exaggeration to say that every opponent is strong, and there is no certainty of victory.

However, there is one thing that still shows the perception of "Dark City" within the academy, and on the Directors Guild Awards and Producers Union Awards, which have successively announced the list of awards, "Dark City" has won the top ten awards for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Picture, no matter how you look at it, it is the biggest hit at this Oscars!

By mid-February, Murphy had finished filming in the studio and led the crew to Boston to begin filming the remaining location scenes.
