Chapter 52 Let whoever you want to be the actor
There were 3,000 voters for the Oscars, and theoretically the official price of $60 million would be the unanimous vote for Best Picture if everyone could buy it. Pen, fun, and court www.biquge.info but in fact, the movie must be basically reliable before it is eligible to bribe. In other words, only movies that can break into the top three and top five by relying on their own strength without bribery are qualified to talk about the latter.
Otherwise, there are so many local tyrants, and Oscar would have stinked a long time ago. I haven't heard of the Oscars won by the film companies invested by the big oil dogs in the Middle East.
The day after Gu Mojie arrived, Weinstein packed the tickets in advance, saying that he had confirmed that all the guests who had greeted him should keep their promises and there would be no problems. Gu Mojie was happy to believe it.
Playing in a heartbeat? That's for the "artists". A person like him doesn't need a heartbeat, no need for a tortuous experience.
What he wants is crushing.
None of the 8 people on the planet who are ahead of him pay attention to this field. The films made by his company were among the top three in the world last year.
Knocked out the votes of the Jews for political correctness, and the rest was easy.
……
The day of the ceremony was fast approaching.
Bao'er took matters into her own hands and cleaned up Gu Mojie, and then dressed up carefully. At first, she wanted her makeup artist to rub some more powder on Gu Mojie, but Gu Mojie refused.
He doesn't like to be too pale and creamy like those sticks of fresh meat.
After picking up and stopping, Bao'er groomed herself.
I have known Bao'er for five years, and Gu Mojie has never seen her dressed up so exquisitely, not even the concert at Madison Square Garden.
Gu Mojie was bored waiting, poured himself a glass of wine, and admired the beauty's makeup: "Are you nervous? Care? I don't have your personal award. ”
"Please! It was the Oscars. How many times can you participate in a lifetime. Besides, I will return to Japan the day after tomorrow, and I will never come to the United States to work hard for my acting career in the future. ”
Bao'er brushed her eyebrow pencil with a little resentment, looked at her glasses in a daze, and let out a long sigh, "In the past few years, it's really like a dream." Looking back, the United States is not a place where you have to be. ”
Gu Mojie wrapped his arms around Bao'er's waist from behind: "I haven't been here, I haven't tried, I haven't fought, how do you know that the United States is nothing more than that." You're hindsight. ”
Bao'er enjoyed this moment very much, and took a deep breath of the man's breath: "You can't be like this after you go out, you are now a person who has just gotten married." Even if you don't mix with the entertainment industry, you must pay attention to the impact. ”
"It's okay to obey the order and put your arm around your waist, don't Hollywood people do it."
Two hours later, Gu Mojie drove the prototype Porsche 918X to the Kodak Theater. There was a long convoy of security guards in front and behind, and a dozen whites protected two yellows.
Who made that yellow man, from 2009 to 2010, nearly tripled the valuation of personal property, and who made him have so many invisible and undervalued assets, which were exposed last year, or surpassed his peers who have been listed in terms of data.
There has been no such example on the planet before: the valuation of personal wealth hovered between two and three billion dollars the year before. A year later, it jumped to more than 65 billion.
The behind-the-scenes boss of Legendary Pictures.
The boss behind ILM.
Countless halos are added to it, shining so brightly that they can almost burn the camera - not even the equipment for laser blinding paparazzi.
The car stopped at the end of the red carpet, Gu Mojie got out of the car, and the bodyguard next to him walked over quickly and drove the car away. Then two well-dressed men came up to say hello, it was Nolan, the director of "Inception", and Leonardo, the star actor.
Nolan looked excited, Leonardo was more nervous. Gu Mojie has invested far more budget than they imagined in this film, and has also invested countless post-publicity resources, which they all feel to heart.
"I didn't ask about the specifics, but I let him watch the things that can be entrusted to Harvey, and he won't be missing anyway."
"Really? That's good. Nolan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Best ...... Male protagonist...... Is there a play? ”
Gu Mojie stopped, turned around to look at the nervous Leonardo, and suddenly felt that this middle-aged man had some vicissitudes: "It should be, you know, I asked him to keep the film as much as possible." Other...... There may be trade-offs, but I believe in your strength. ”
"When I was in "Titanic", I also felt that I was good enough......"
"That's different, Oscar still has to hold the shelf, they like to be calm. If you are not thirty years old, who will give you the final award. ”
Gu Mojie's words of comfort quickly made Xiao Lizi quieter.
This is not a secret, even a layman like Gu Mojie, who has just come into contact with the Oscars for a long time, can say it.
It is not without amazing young actors in the history of the Oscars, but in order to hold a forced frame, they will always wait until they reach their thirties before they give awards. Otherwise, if you give a little kid who has just debuted and became popular, it is easy for laymen to say whether this award is a PY deal.
Just like Nobel, the academic status achievements are important, but the health of the award-winning scientist/writer and whether he or she is dying of old age is also a very important moderating factor. When the results are not bad, Nobel always gives priority to the old people who are dying.
Like Bob Dylan.
As for Haruki Murakami's perennial long-distance running and fitness, let's go to K for a few years to make a mess of the body, otherwise I will definitely not be able to think of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Historically, the last top figures who were originally shortlisted for the Oscars in 2011, such as Natalie Portman and Anne Hathaway, were all born in the early 80s, and they were just about to be 30 in this year. It just so happened that the "Fighter" film they acted in this year was also nominated for Best Picture, and it was a natural fit.
And when Xiao Lizi "Titanic" was at the beginning, he suffered because he had just debuted and was too young. Otherwise, in terms of performance alone, who dares to say that the masochism in the later "The Revenant" must be better than "Titanic"?
Oscar, that's it, it's nothing more than a game of fame and fortune, really say how sacred the result is, hehe.
To be in the top 10 is strength. How to rank after entering the top 10, that is life, but also money.
……
"It's really tormenting, it's going to take a long time. More than 20 pre-award awards. Leonardo thought silently in his heart, and couldn't help but pull out a can and pull it several times before pulling it open.
Best Actor and Queen, Best Picture, and Best Director have always been the last four awards announced at each session, and they are also to save the suspense of the conference to the end and increase ratings and attention.
Leonardo and Nolan have to wait for a long time, and there is no way to do it.
At the beginning, every year, the best supporting actor and female supporting actress were taken as a warm-up, and a bunch of animation awards, script awards, and technical awards were interspersed in the middle.
Crested pork belly and leopard tail are all routines.
The other guests of the producer of "Inception" were very relaxed and didn't expect anything.
The curtain on the stage passed smoothly, and the first four items were quickly finished.
"The list of Best Supporting Actresses is announced below: nominee, Melissa. Leo, Amy. Adams, Jackie. Vivor, Boa-Kwon...... Winner: Melissa. Leo! Melissa, please. Leo took the stage to accept the award. ”
"What?" Boa's mouth opened wide enough to stuff a quail egg. Gu Mojie clearly felt her body shake, and then tremble.
"Pinch me."
Gu Mojie shook Bao'er's arm a few times: "You...... You don't want to, drink some water and get it right. I don't know, I didn't arrange it, I let Harvey watch it. ”
Bao'er drank a few sips of water, but her eyes still couldn't recover: "What should I do, what should I do, if I am asked by the media what I think, I am completely unprepared, who should I thank." ”
She made Gu Mojie nervous like this: "Hey, don't worry, the nominees don't have to go on stage." It was Melissa's turn to say the testimonial. ”
"That's right! I was dizzy. Only then did Bao'er stop her teeth from chattering, as if she found that her lips had been cracked by her teeth. Make the lip gloss look like a Bloody Mary.
"Hey, this nomination, add 20 million more. You'll admit it, right? ”
A voice came from behind Gu Mojie just right. Gu Mojie looked back and saw that Harvey Weinstein did not shy away from going around to them and asking for credit.
"A normal nomination should be 10 million, but her level is a little less, so she has to work harder. In terms of strength, it is almost enough for her to rank in the top 20 of the female supporting role this year, and she is forced to enter the top 5. ”
"How?"
Harvey whispered indifferently: "Hollywood, there are also love tickets, nothing strange." People who are about to quit the film industry, if they have use value, will also tilt a little. Of course, money is also important. ”
After Harvey left, Bao'er looked a little sluggish, "It turns out that I was bought by money." ”
"Don't worry about it, didn't you say it, you really rely on your strength, you can be in the top 20 anyway. Acting is also a thing that is made because of the film, catching up with a good film, a role suitable for playing, and a few more layers of buffs, which is normal. It's just a nomination, it's not a big deal. ”
Bao'er was laughed at Gu Mojie's indifference: "What's the point, it's not a big deal!" Are you a film investor or not? Korean and Korean actors have not been nominated for the four major actor awards, but the Japanese have won five or six nominations in total - by the way, Chinese and Chinese have not won either. ”
"Damn, it turns out that the nominations are so valuable?"
"That's something that Li Bingxian hasn't even taken...... What can I do, I will announce my retirement from the film and music scene when I go back, will I be scolded to death? ”
Bao'er hugged her head, but she was a little overwhelmed. Since the end of the "Inception" promotional campaign last year, in addition to the year-end concert, she has been filming "Warcraft" in the United States for half a year, and now that "Warcraft" has entered post-production, she may never make movies again in her life.
I don't know if she will be scolded by people in China for wasting resources and talent......
But she knows for herself, if it weren't for the ingenious structure of "Inception" and the high fit of the script, let her play her strengths and avoid weaknesses through acting in action scenes, otherwise her half-baked acting skills would not be enough to watch.
That's it, don't think about it.
Gu Mojie also felt that he was in a good mood just now, and became a little embarrassed: "You just returned to China, and it is not restricting your freedom." After returning to China, if you still want to create, I can't stop you. At first, I just thought that I had enough of living halfway around the world. Now that I'm married, what position do I have to limit you? Well, everything will pass. ”
Xiao Lizi and Nolan didn't know what was going on, and they couldn't understand Gu Mojie and Bao'er talking in Chinese, so they could only wait until they finished chatting before congratulating them in English. As for Bao'er's gaffe just now, in the eyes of those Americans, it was completely excited.
Seventeen or eighteen small prizes passed like water, and finally came to the last moment.
"Below, the penultimate award for today is announced: Best Actor Award, nominated: Leonardo. DiCaprio ...... Winner: Leonardo. DiCaprio! Leonardo is invited to take the stage to accept the award and deliver his acceptance speech! (To be continued.) )
