Levy denied Alexander's idea of relying on the festival to attract sponsorship, but he chose to agree to participate in the festival after thinking about it for a long time.

Although the Berlinale award is of little significance, it is still an award. Levy thinks it's hard for his film to win an Oscar — it's too hard to compete with Ofune — so it's a good idea to win one of the other awards.

It's not that simple to just apply for an award. Once the award is declared, Levy will have to contact Kevin Spacey as well. As the absolute protagonist of this film, his performance is very good and excellent, and if the film is shown at the Berlin Film Festival, then Kevin Spacey will be able to be nominated and maybe even win an award, and Levy will of course have to inform him to see if he goes.

In Levy's opinion, the best-case scenario is naturally that he and several leading actors have all gone: since he is going to participate in the film festival, then it is good to show enough respect. It's just that to participate in such a film festival, he can't decide whether others will go or not for others without authorization, so he has to notify him and see other people's time.

Levy knew very well, not to mention Spacey, but also the other two actors were also very busy.

The lives of actors and directors are different, unless they are directors who are already very famous, have their own director fans, and are willing to watch them go out behind the scenes and talk, directors rarely have the opportunity to come to the forefront.

But the actors are different, the actors' fame will rise after the filming of the movie, and several of the leading actors in his movies have a very tense life after the movie is released: all kinds of publicity and activities have kept them very busy, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to participate in other activities.

Hugh Jackman, for example, is arguably his first Hollywood film. His role in the movie is not the most important one, but he shows the toughness and elegance that a playwright and a rebel should have, and his excellent image suddenly opened up the market in Hollywood, and he also won a lot of film contracts. Although these films are about all kinds of films, and some of them are not suitable for him to play no matter how you look at them, no matter how you say it, it is still much better than going back to Broadway and twisting your ass and dancing. Moreover, because Hugh Jackman himself is quite handsome, just after the movie ended, he also got the opportunity to advertise for Marlboro, and the income from an advertisement has even exceeded the salary income of the movie, and he is also a star. At present, Hugh Jackman has been participating in various activities non-stop to expand his fame in order to better develop in Hollywood in the future.

Even he has a good way out, let alone Kevin Spacey. As soon as his performance ended, he received praise from Hollywood. In this play, his expression does not change most of the time, and he can only express his mood through subtle eyes, movements, and local micro-expressions. And it is under this requirement that he still plays the characters vividly, and gives full play to all kinds of expressions, which also makes people can't help but admire, his acting skills are indeed extraordinary.

"Kevin Spacey proves the depth of his acting skills, he can not only play the negative role, but also the positive role, he plays the character with few lines and almost no body movements, but he almost perfectly expresses the transformation of the character, this kind of acting is worthy of any honor."

All kinds of comments in the entertainment industry have always been biased. Just as directors who shoot literary films are more respected than those who shoot commercial films, when it comes to film performance, the literary and artistic circles have always admired restrained expressions, demeanors, and eye changes, and they despise exaggerated body language and overly ostentatious line performance skills.

In the 80s, Robert De Niro can be said to have won the Oscar with his frowning acting skills, and until the new century, Leonardo is still learning his frowning technique - of course, his luck is more negative - and another talented actor Al Pacino is because his acting style is too exaggerated, although the skill of reciting lines can be said to be the peak, but it is difficult to be recognized for the recitation of lines in an incomparably flamboyant speech style, and it is not until he plays the blind that he wins the Oscar. Similarly, Jim Carrey's acting skills are not bad, and his box office revenue and popularity are second to none, but his acting style is too exaggerated, and it is difficult for such a style to be favored.

And Kevin Spacey's acting style in this movie is very much in line with the requirements of various awards, and compared with previous movies, it can be said that there is a further breakthrough.

Although Kevin Spacey's acting skills are recognized as very good, his appearance is really too distinctive, in many movies, although his acting skills are very good, but often people see his face and already know that he is the villain.

The most typical is last year's very suspect: his performance is indeed very good, indeed very good, but when he looks like that, he is a big name, people will think he is a criminal when they see it, and the movie will be out of suspense.

But in this movie, his role is arranged very well. The identity of the listener and the person whose conscience found him make it difficult to define good and evil in the play, and even if people see his face, it is difficult to say whether he is good or bad. This film, which combines the characteristics of the actor and the identity of the character, makes his performance great.

Movies and actors are mutually successful, and some scenes are prone to problems if they are given to the wrong person. For example, in Shawshank's redemption novel, the protagonist is a small man who is 1.60 meters tall, thin and withered, and it is possible to crawl out of the passage. But the actor in the movie version is 1.90 meters tall and strong, and it is difficult to win people's trust when it comes to digging tunnels.

Spacey's filming of this drama can be said to be just the right role, and it also made his performance extremely good. Even, after the movie was released, people said that he had locked in an Oscar nomination, and what made people more interested was whether he could win an Oscar with this movie.

Kevin Spacey's acting skills have always been unanimously recognized, and many people think that his acting skills are not even worse than Tom Hanks, except for those actors of the older generation, he can also be regarded as one of the few people with the best acting skills. But in the past few years, most of the roles he has played are mainly negative roles, and it is too difficult for such a role to win the Oscar. Among last year's extraordinary suspects, his role can be said to be at the level of the protagonist, but because he is a villain, he only won the Best Supporting Actor in the end.

And in this movie, his image is finally reversed. From playing more murderers, psychopaths, and masterminds behind the scenes, in this year's movie, his image in Los Angeles Confidential has changed, to this movie, playing a positive role who has awakened to his senses, from a villain to a decent person, his image has changed a lot.

Since the actor's acting skills are already very good, and now he has enough excellent works, whether he can win the award is naturally a key topic of discussion.

It's just that if he wants to win the Oscar, it's not so easy. Among his opponents, there are Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman, these two old actors' acting skills are no worse than him, and it can even be said that they are still surpassed, and no one dares to guarantee victory when competing with them. What's more, Kevin Spacey just won Best Supporting Actor last year, and if he wants to win the Oscar for two consecutive years, even if it is one main actor and one supporting actor, it is not so easy.

Therefore, during this period of time, he also needs to do more publicity to fight for opportunities for himself. Compared to the Berlin Film Festival, Hollywood actors still value the Oscars, and Levy doesn't know if he wants to go to Berlin.

"To Berlin? I didn't have any plans, I had to ask my publicity company, it seemed a bit of a hassle to go to Berlin in February...... But I'll try to arrange it if I can. Levy called Spacey directly, and to Levy's satisfaction, Spacey agreed very simply, "Do you remember the three reasons you said when you came to me to act?" The transformation of the image, the honing of acting skills, and then there is the relationship between Europe. The first two have now been reached, and the rest is the third, and I hope that the third one can be completed together. ”

Spacey's attitude is quite good: the film also brings him a lot of things, and he is certainly satisfied. And as an actor, he also knows that it is very important to maintain a good relationship with a good director, so he will naturally not refuse bluntly.

It's just that his words didn't say death. Levy also understands that if the time comes in February, it will be the eve of the Oscars. Spacey released two great films this year, and before the Oscars, he needed to do publicity, and it was difficult to have enough time to do anything else.

For these things, you have to ask the publicity company: Hollywood stars, not only have a brokerage company, but also have a special publicity company. The agency is responsible for helping the actor take over the play, while the publicity company is responsible for helping the actor arrange various publicity matters.

Of course, Levy knew these things very well, because when he was on the phone, there was another actor sitting next to him.
