On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the thirteenth is a New Year's greeting to everyone! Happy Year of the Rooster!

"The 84th Academy Awards will start soon, and anyone with a discerning eye should be clear: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and a large number of handsome stalwart stars in Hollywood are actually veritable secondary goods, and the big boss who really dominates the overall situation is the fat man hiding behind the crowd - Harvey Weinstein!"

"Because, a very serious fact is: from last year's "King's Speech" kicked out "The Social Network", all the way to the Best Actor, Best Director, Best Picture three awards, to this year's "Artist" almost completely replicated the glorious road of the "King" to the Olympics, it is bound to win a full house!"

"The attribution of the Oscars is dictated by Harvey Weinstein's invisible hands, and it has become a clear rule that can be written into a publication, and every Hollywood actor, from today onwards, may take 'follow Harvey Weinstein to have meat to eat' as a life creed!"

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Howard Rodman shook his head and said to his old friend next to him, "Oscar is about to change his surname to Weinstein." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Is that an exaggeration?" Old friends were a little unimpressed.

"Isn't it?" Howard Rodman reminded, "Do you think back to how much controversy Harvey Weinstein created for the Oscars starting with The English Patient? ”

The man sat there thinking for a moment, then finally nodded, "A few times it made Oscar a joke." ”

Howard Rodman put the newspaper on the table, "Oscar doesn't have a Weinstein name, and he never has a surname anyone!" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Howard Rodman said to his friend again, "The Oscars can't go on like this, and if they go on like this, the Weinstein brothers will become the spokespeople for the Oscars." I'm going to get people on my side to try not to vote for Weinstein Pictures as much as possible. ”

The old friend took the newspaper and looked at it, and said, "What I said above is very reasonable, many actors have no limit to flattering the Weinstein brothers in order to win the Oscars, but the authority of the academy has never been taken into account by them, isn't the Oscars from the academy, but really become the Weinstein brothers?" ”

With a cold snort, he said again, "I'll leave first, I'm going back to communicate with someone." ”

"Okay." Howard Rodman nodded, "I'm not going to send you, I'm going to make a few calls." ”

He has been a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences since 1989, has the right to vote, and as the vice president of the Writers Guild of America, he is a representative figure of the screenwriters' rights organization in the academy, and can be said to be one of the most influential core figures within the academy.

In addition to his private activities, Murphy teamed up with Twentieth Century Fox to instigate this media coverage wave, but unlike Harvey Weinstein's smearing of him and "Diego Rose", the media reports praised the Weinstein brothers and listed his great achievements in the past Oscars, reminding many members of the Academy, especially those old men who cherish their feathers more and more, that the Oscars are no longer their Oscars, but have changed their surnames to Weinstein.

Some media outlets, instigated by Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox, have touted Harvey Weinstein to considerable heights.

"Harvey Weinstein, the one who can really decide where the Oscars go!"

"What makes a film a big Oscar winner? Analyzing the past two decades, it is not difficult to find that following Harvey Weinstein can win an Oscar! ”

"Oscar changed his surname to Weinstein, who understands the secret that can't be said?"

These remarks in the traditional media can affect the Oscar judges to some extent, especially those who cherish the Oscar feathers of the academy old-fashioned school.

In addition to the print media, ABC TV, which is affiliated with Walt Disney as the live broadcaster of this year's Oscars, also broadcast Oscar preview programs for two consecutive nights in prime time on the highest-rated channel in the United States, focusing on the analysis of the Weinstein brothers' brilliant achievements in the past Oscars, proving that the Oscars are really about to change their surname to Weinstein.

"Harvey Weinstein's repeated attempts in Oscar public relations have led global fans who are getting more and more familiar with the Oscars to have a terrible misunderstanding that 'the Oscar judges are a bunch of idiots': from the earliest "The English Patient" swept the Oscars, to the end of the century "Shakespeare in Love" Nick "Saving Private Ryan", and then to "Chicago" to surprise the four, Harvey Weinstein has always been fiddling with public relations tricks!"

Of course, you have to admit that Harvey Weinstein's way of manipulating the Oscars is also keeping up with the times: "The English Patient" likes to advertise his film as 'the greatest moving work in years', but when he runs "The King's Speech", he openly expresses his dislike for this kind of labelling propaganda, alluding to the self-selling impetuousness of "The Social Network"; In "Chicago", he was keen on flanking competitors, and the eating of gifts when canvassing for votes was relatively ugly, but later, after seeing that "Bomb Disposal Unit" was hit by the producer's email canvassing incident, he immediately narrowed his ambition to win the award and focused on Best Supporting Actor. ”

"By the time of last year's 'The King's Speech,' he knew that critics were a pretty nasty bunch, so he openly said, 'The Oscar judges have their own aesthetic judgments, and of course they won't be swayed by the tastes of the critics.'" In this way, it not only touted the people of the Academy of Film Arts, but also freed up energy to get the three major union awards, and realized the final turnaround of the film. ”

"And when this year's 'The Artist' comes out, you can almost see a strategizing Harvey Weinstein with a plan that's more perfect than ever: never claiming the film as a tribute; Claiming to never beat his opponents to elevate himself, but when the union awards were awarded, people completely forgot about "Diego Rose" and "The Tree of Life" touted by film critics, and repeatedly passed it, and the media said that he was a "man who respects the art of film." ’”

Just like the media said that Murphy is connected to the drug cartels, this is indeed the truth, Murphy can't justify, even if he has no economic dealings with Rose, let alone an exchange of interests, but he can't explain it clearly, and everything Harvey Weinstein has done in the past, the other party can't explain it either, and the more Harvey Weinstein stands up and explains, the more the members of the academy will see his unreasonable influence at the Oscars.

This kind of influence is fine in the dark, but on the bright side, those conservative old men with strong self-esteem are certainly not happy.

Of the few old judges Murphy came into contact with, some even had the idea that we were all a bunch of old fools at the mercy of the Weinstein brothers?

Although the effect was faintly visible, Murphy did not stop, and the voice of Harvey Weinstein touted by the media continued throughout the voting session.

Especially on the influential "Hollywood Reporter" in the circle, after the voting time entered the middle stage, Murphy directly spent a huge amount of money to buy important pages one after another to continue to report on Harvey Weinstein's Oscar career.

"The Artist, Harvey Weinstein's tailor-made gift for the Oscars!"

What the core members of the academy hate the most, maybe everyone is different, and it is impossible to guess, but there is one thing in common, they have always hated the extremely obvious behavior of attacking the Oscars for the sake of impacting the Oscars.

"As early as last May's Cannes International Film Festival, Harvey Weinstein found the film to be a tailor-made gift to voters at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, with an average age of 56: black and white, silent, simulating the gestures of Hollywood's classic era stars, and a simple and just right 100-minute length, all of which were perfect for his Oscar operation."

What's more, the time lag between the test and release dates is also set in the same way as "The King's Speech": the praise for "The King's Speech" was sent from the Toronto Film Festival in September the previous year, but the large-scale release was scheduled before the Oscars, and its competitor "The Social Network" has long been dried; "The Artist" also did a long warm-up of public opinion, before the awards gradually expanded the scale of the release, although some audiences rushed into the theater to find that it was a silent film, and were fooled and asked for a refund, but the news itself is a selling point, which further makes voters feel: The Oscars still have to pay attention to the grade of taste, and ordinary audiences have no cultural ......"

"Harvey Weinstein has now become the manipulator behind the Oscars, if you want to know the Oscar favorites in advance? That's very simple, just look at the Weinstein Pictures project schedule and you'll find it clear. ”

At the same time, Murphy did not ignore the influence of critics on the Oscars.

The famous critic Stephen Colbert openly ranted on the "Bert Time" program hosted by him, accusing "The Artist" of "disgusting" flattery, and the film changed its original intention in order to show favor to the academy, and "despicable" edited the film into a black and white silent film!

Subsequently, professional film critics in the Los Angeles area, led by Todd McCarthy and Kenneth Turan, also criticized the film in their columns.

"The Artist has been full of tendencies to woo Hollywood schools throughout the selection process, and its work itself does not meet the usual selection criteria for the Oscars!"

"If I had to pay to watch black and white literature, I'd rather watch The New York Times, and if the Oscars were for The Artist, it would be better for Transformers, at least it would be more enjoyable."

All sorts of fancy hype continued until mid-February, and as the deadline for college voting approached, the media and Hollywood suddenly returned to silence, and everyone waited for the Oscars to begin.
