Chapter 734: Damn Black

"None of the old men in the academy like Leonardo DiCaprio. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the office of CAA in Century City, Bill Rothes said conclusively, "His purpose and intention to impact the Oscars are too obvious, and the bad influence of becoming popular overnight when he was young ......"

Sitting on the couch, Murphy and James Franco both know that Bill Rothes is telling the truth.

Bill Rothes then changed his words, "But there is a limit to everything, it is this more than ten years of accompanying career that has allowed Leonardo DiCaprio to accumulate enough qualifications, looking at the candidates for this year's actors, except for James, there are few people who can compare to Leonardo DiCaprio in terms of qualifications and fame." โ€

"Matthew McConaughey." Murphy reminded.

If it weren't for James Cameron's insistence, the actor might have become the leading actor in Ofuna.

"Don't worry about him." Bill Rothes laughed, "He only belongs to the second-tier customers in CAA, and he can't compare with James, the company only signed him two years ago, and it won't invest much resources in him, and the actors and actresses supported by CAA this time are James and Maggie." โ€

James Franco didn't speak, but glanced at Murphy, why is CAA willing to support him and Margot Robbie so much? First, they do have enough market value, and second, they are part of the Stanton Party!

The latter one is quite important, and Twentieth Century Fox wants to continue working with Murphy, and it is necessary to win his favor and friendship.

"The resources we have in our hands ......," Gal Gadot reminded, "it's time to go all out." โ€

She feels that in today's situation, the odds of Murphy's Best Director and Best Picture of "Dark City" winning are very high, and it is difficult to say that James Franco and Margot Robbie are hard to say.

James Franco then added, "I've launched my network, but I don't have the same reach as Donnie. โ€

Robert Downey Jr. is from an acting family after all, and James Franco can't compare to this, Murphy is very clear, and said, "We will all fully support you and Maggie." โ€

He was talking about all the Stanton partymen.

"It wasn't hard for James to get the nomination." Bill Rothes added, "But if you want to win the award, Leonardo DiCaprio is the biggest obstacle!" โ€

Unlike before, because Murphy got "The Wolf of Wall Street" out in advance, Leonardo DiCaprio's award-winning film became "The Great Gatsby", which doesn't seem to have any advantages, but in the case that the CAA does not plan to actively promote Matthew McConaughey, no one knows whether Leonardo DiCaprio will take away the Oscar for Best Actor in advance.

What's more, Leonardo DiCaprio's team also seems to have seen the development trend of the Oscars and started large-scale side promotion.

"It's really about liking." James Franco shrugged, "The old guys of the academy still like Leonardo DiCaprio a little bit more than I do. โ€

Murphy smiled and nodded, neither Leonardo DiCaprio nor James Franco were the kind of actors that academics liked.

"If that's ......," Gal Gadot clasped his hands to his chest, "if James wants to win the award, he first has to kill Leonardo DiCaprio?" โ€

"Honey." Murphy deliberately joked, "We are good law-abiding citizens. โ€

Gal Gadot rolled his eyes, too lazy to talk to Murphy.

"Alright, no more jokes." Murphy put away his smile and said to Bill Rothes, "I don't know if you have noticed, among Leonardo DiCaprio's close friends, there is a Malaysian named Liu Zuote. โ€

James Franco and Gal Gadot shook their heads, apparently not knowing who Murphy was talking about.

Bill Rothes nodded slightly, "This is the core personnel of the 1MDB Foundation, and one of the main investors of Red Rock Pictures, which has cooperated more with Leonardo DiCaprio in recent years. โ€

He asked Murphy curiously, "Liu Zott has a problem?" โ€

The former Leonardo DiCaprio, arguably one of Murphy's favorite stars, certainly knows a lot about him, including a lot of negative news.

Murphy couldn't explain the source of these things, so he simply said, "I have exact information, Liu Zuot and 1MDB are the agents of many high-ranking officials in Malaysia, and Malaysian politics is said to have never been very clean. โ€

Bill Rothes immediately understood what Murphy meant, "If there is a problem with the funding of 1MDB and Red Rock Pictures, Leonardo DiCaprio is bound to be involved?" โ€

"yes, that's it." Murphy wasn't sure if these things were true, "You'd better have someone check it out, we don't have to be sure that Leonardo DiCaprio is really involved in these things, as long as the two sides are too close and there is a problem on the Malaysian side, he can't get out." โ€

"Hmm." Bill Rothes tapped his finger lightly, "Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will definitely affect Leonardo DiCaprio's Olympic plan." โ€

He suddenly laughed, "The company will definitely be happy to do this, and when Leonardo DiCaprio broke away from the CAA and created his own team of managers, it caused a lot of dissatisfaction. โ€

"What can I do?" James Franco then spoke, "Look? โ€

"Bring out the best in you, of course." Murphy went over and patted James Franco on the shoulder, "Jim, go out and show affection to Lily more, and grab the headlines of the entertainment pages of major newspapers and magazines if you have nothing to do." โ€

James Franco said solemnly, "Don't worry, I'll steal the limelight from you and Gail." โ€

Just like Bill Rothes said, CAA took over the matter, and Bill Rothes also contacted Carla Fess, there is some truth to the saying that there are many people who are popular, just as Murphy was attacked by many people some time ago, there are not a few people in this circle who like to see Leonardo DiCaprio's bad luck.

Although I used to like Leonardo DiCaprio and the movies he starred in, Murphy will not be soft in the slightest, Leonardo DiCaprio has had conflicts with him before, and the impact and benefits that an Oscar actor can bring are also very great!

The hobbies of the past when he was young and frivolous and the major interests of the present, Murphy is still very clear.

As for Margot Robbie's Best Actress, in addition to her own PR, she really needs to look at luck.

However, compared with James Franco's Best Actor, Margot Robbie is not without advantages in hitting Best Actress, on the one hand, her role has been praised by film critics and the media, and is known as one of the best performances this year, on the other hand, the trend of choosing young actresses for Best Actress in the Oscars in recent years is also relatively obvious.

If I remember correctly, this year's Best Actress is Cate Blanchett, also an Australian actress, and Margot Robbie has no advantage over her, the big devil.

What is Cate Blanchett's film for Best Actress? It seems to be "Blue Jasmine", and the director is the famous Woody Allen.

Back in the car at Wave Manor, Murphy made another call to Bill Rothes, and in order to achieve the wildness of all four heavyweight roles he could, he had to emulate Harvey Weinstein's usual tactics against Woody Allen's films.

After talking to Bill Rothes on the phone and returning home, Murphy was still thinking about the impact of "Dark City" on the Oscars, in fact, not only for Best Actor and Best Actress, but also for Best Picture.

He slowly looked into a corner of the living room, where there was a pitch-black wall!

Yes, black! Damn black! That most special group in Hollywood! No matter what you do, you can always find the discriminatory group with a super glass heart!

"12 Years a Slave"!

Even Murphy couldn't ignore the film's huge advantage at the Oscars.

This film may not win any statuettes, even if it is a technical award, but it is the favorite to win the best picture statuette!

Murphy shook his head, this damn Hollywood-style political correctness.

Although he is dissatisfied, the situation is here, and even if he does not admit it, Hollywood-style political correctness still exists.

For the impact of the Oscars, in addition to the results of the Outpost Awards and the evaluation of the film, Murphy cannot completely ignore the reality of Hollywood, Hollywood has never been separated from politics, and the Oscars always reflect the political attitude in the Hollywood circle, and in the current political environment in the United States, many people who advocate democracy and freedom may not choose a black movie, whether this will affect the vote is difficult to say, but this Oscar will not get rid of the influence of Hollywood-style political clouds.

"The Dark City" may become a victim or a beneficiary of Hollywood's political environment, depending on what voters think.

Under the premise that black people have been making trouble in recent years, I am afraid that many people hope to show the "democracy and tolerance" of the United States through a work with minorities as the protagonist and full of humanity......

These are all objective situations, and if it weren't for the Catholic attack, Murphy felt that "Dark City" might not be the opponent of "12 Years a Slave" at all.

Fortunately, Catholicism has now caused a huge turmoil, and the conflict of public opinion exposing the Catholic scandal and the Catholic attack on Hollywood movies is still emerging, and it seems that there is no intention to calm down for a while.

Just as Murphy was preparing for his new film "Spotlight" and working on the Oscar PR, he received an invitation from Archbishop Mรกrquez Costello.

Archbishop Mรกrquez-Costello wants to meet and talk to him!
