December of this year can be said to be a rare cleanliness for the mystery company.

This December, there are no movies released by Enigma. After the release of the two movies Truman's World and The Love Notebook in the first half of the year, they have not had any new works in terms of movies for nearly half a year. Although all Hollywood knows that they are now making X-Men, the production of X-Men is quite time-consuming and laborious, and until now, they have not finished the production, and they can't catch up with this Christmas schedule.

This made the entire Christmas schedule, the mystery company all missed. And this also made many media sigh about this.

They sighed, not because there were no good movies coming out, but because at this time, they wanted more publicity themes.

Among the movies released this year, what people have been arguing about now is which of the two movies, Truman's World and American Beauty, is better. Truman's World, which aired in June, caused a strong reaction at the time, and American Beauty, which aired in October, also attracted attention for its film about the life and troubles of middle-class America.

Both films are popular cinematic films and both have the potential to be nominated for an Oscar. The two directors, both young directors, are in their thirties, looking at Mendes, who is now famous, it is like seeing Levy, who became famous two or three years ago, such two young people competing for the Oscar for Best Director is also extremely rare. Everyone hopes that at this time, the mystery company can do something to cooperate with the media publicity. They didn't have a movie released at this time, which has to be said to be a regrettable thing for the media.

Originally, such a situation could be publicized as a competition for the first person of the future director, a prologue to a new era in Hollywood, or something. The two thirty-year-old directors are both blockbuster life trajectories, plus the first movie used Kevin Spacey, they could have created a lot of topics. Don't say anything else. is Levy standing up and saying whether he is confident of winning the Oscar, and the media can talk nonsense for a long time.

Everyone knows that the movies produced by Mystery Company have been very successful in the past few years. The three films made by Levy can be said to be extremely successful. Whether it's a political film, a romantic comedy, or an inspirational film, Levy does it very well. As soon as his films are released, they can get high reviews, which is already recognized. But at the Oscars, he also lost two years in a row, a James Cameron and a Spielberg, and his defeat seemed indisputable......

And this year, this is the third time in a row that he is highly likely to be nominated for an Oscar. It is extremely rare for a director to be nominated for an Oscar three years in a row, and this time his opponent can be said to be a copy of himself, which also makes people very interested in how he will express himself.

It stands to reason. What Levy should do at this time is to take advantage of the arrival of the Christmas schedule and hurry up to do some self-promotion. Even if you don't make a movie right away, you should at least show the promotional video of your own movie. Or to publicize his film preparations to the outside world, but Levy has been quiet throughout December. Nothing was done.

This made many people sigh: it is possible for anyone to win these two movies, Truman's world was released earlier, and the popularity passed quickly. If you don't take the opportunity to hype it up now, when it's time to award the awards, you will really suffer.

However, although in the eyes of those who are familiar with the film industry, Levy really didn't do anything, but if you have more contact with the TV drama circle, you will know that Levy doesn't do anything, probably for a reason: he does it, not because he doesn't want to, but because he has other things and needs to be busy. Looking at the movie, Mystery doesn't seem to do anything, but if you look at the TV field, you can see how much Mystery has done.

CSI, Inc., Inc., has finally launched a spin-off. The location of the new show has changed from cold Las Vegas to sunny Miami, different cities, different settings, different styles, but the same focus on science and teamwork. Compared with other similar TV series, CSI has established its own rigorous and solid core, and has a full audience, and after the TV series was launched, it quickly had good ratings. Although compared with CSI, which was popular in the United States as soon as it was broadcast, the ratings of this spin-off drama are only about half, but even if it is only half, it is the best one among the new dramas that will be broadcast this year.

TV series are tiring and slow to make money, but compared to movies, they are a more stable long-term source of income. CSI launched a spin-off, which made CBS extremely happy, they found a new source of money, and, looking at these two dramas have always been high ratings, these two TV series are enough to fight for another ten years without a problem, and, if necessary, it is not impossible to open another spin-off, this TV series has long been a cash cow.

If it were someone else, as long as he did such a little thing, he would be proud: a successful new TV series was released, and this year was not in vain.

For Levy, though, it's just an hour. Because at the same time as this TV series was released, two TV programs co-produced by ABC TV and Levy also started broadcasting on ABC together.

The two shows, called American Idol and the American Top Model Contest, caused a great sensation when they were launched. The glamorous stage, the judges with constant poisonous tongues, coupled with the unique and novel format and highly engaged audience, these two programs can be said to be the favorites of many audiences among the programs broadcast in the second half of the year.

On the one hand, these two programs gave everyone a star dream - these two TV programs used the form of auditions, so that many people who were confident that they could become stars and models all stood up. Becoming a star and gaining the attention and recognition of others is what everyone wants, and many people are also moved by seeing others become stars through these ways.

And secondly, this show also talks about each contestant through those comments, and at the same time gives the selection power to the audience, allowing the audience to choose, which makes the gameplay of this show greatly enhanced - this is a TV entertainment program, not a professional selection, the poisonous tongue is more important than the singing, and the vote is more important than the contract, in this regard, Levy pays attention to it very well, which also makes this show very attractive.

On the other hand, these two shows also show a lot of stories behind Hollywood. Those who are in a hurry to become famous, behind each other's plots, conspiracies, and behind those glamorous shadows, do those unseemly things, which are also of great interest to people: watching too many stars in their glamorous moments, people also like to watch what these people do behind the fame.

Not only can it satisfy people's dreams and dark psychology, but also has a very beautiful, fashionable, dazzling scene and interesting entertainment, how can such a show not be popular?

Because of such characteristics, these two programs, once they were broadcast, have already attracted a lot of attention. Although some people complained, saying that ABC TV is not the most suitable TV station to broadcast these two programs, because their audience is generally feminine and young, so their singers and model contests are all a little young, if they are given to other TV stations, such as some pay TV stations, maybe the model contest will be more effective...... However, those complaints have not changed the current situation of the popularity of these two programs, which are the hottest programs released in the past six months.

Just this one TV series, two programs, Levy's income is far more than shooting a commercial blockbuster. People in the film industry think it's a pity that Levy doesn't go to win the award? What's a pity, these TV shows have made Mystery grow into the top ten in the Hollywood TV industry, which is worse than a few big TV companies, and some old TV companies, such company bosses can work hard for the Oscars?

Even if he doesn't brag about it in the media, will he still worry that his film will not be taken seriously? I don't know how many people in various associations are counting on him to live.

However, could it be said that Levy is really satisfied with filming some brainless TV series, reality shows, and the days when Lele collects money? These things, but the media reporters can't believe it. What exactly does Levy think? This is something that a lot of people are talking about.

And just when people were talking about this, the selection of the Golden Globe Awards also quietly came.

This time at the Golden Globe Awards, almost all of Truman's world crew attended in full costume - everyone knows that judging from the number of times Jim Carrey ridiculed the Oscars in previous years, the possibility of him winning the Oscars is zero, and the Golden Globes are his greatest pursuit for him. As for the possibility that he may win this award, the crew is still quite supportive.

And in this venue, people finally met Levy: he was also nominated for Best Director and Best Picture, and it was normal for him to be here. However, inside the venue, he and Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, Brad . Pete and a few others gathered together to talk, which made the reporters smell a little wrong.

"Director Levy, Director Levy! May I ask what you were talking to Robert about? Is it your new film that you want to invite him to star in? Can you reveal that? ”

The reporters who smelled the news quickly gathered around, and what they got was also shocking news.

"Yes, I'm working on a new movie -- Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, Brad . Pete, along with Liam Neeson, will be the star of the film. The movie is about to start filming, and the specific matters will be talked about after this award. ”

Levy's news made all the reporters speechless in shock.

He is not obsessed with money, nor is he without pursuits, on the contrary, his pursuits are incredible. He doesn't care about publicity in advance, he doesn't need to prepare early, because he has a big bomb in his hand that can make a sensation in the whole of Hollywood!

Where did he need to advertise any future first-man competition - for him, such a competition did not exist! (To be continued......)
