Sidney actually let her be the first to speak!

Whether it is in the field or in front of the TV, there are many insiders who are treated by Sidney. Pollack's move shocked him so hard -- a fact that even more so than in "Michael. Clayton" is even more surprising to win Best Picture, after all, Best Picture is actually a matter of choosing one of three, or even one of two, "Atonement" and "Juno" are obviously just running along, and it is difficult to say how competitive "Blood is Coming", and in the case of "No Country for Old Men" with a clear bias towards black and gloomy, "Michael. Clayton's final victory is not so difficult to understand. Just fall in love with WwW. LＷＸＳ５２０。 com and Sidney. Pollack, a big producer, gave the first opportunity to speak to Jennifer. Jefferson, the odds are far less than one in five, or even less than one percent.

Don't look at the producer's job seems to be easy and lucrative, but it doesn't mean that there is no competition within the industry, and even the producer of a film will have disputes within the producer: usually, when applying for awards, the best picture column will not list more than three producers, or even two. So how to determine these three places, it is very easy to say. - Directors often have to take one, if it's big enough, like "No Country for Old Men", the Coen brothers have two places. And when "Chicago" won the best picture, the two producers who really won the trophy had nothing to do with Rob, which is also because this is Rob's first film, and he has little say in this regard.

Tony. Gilroy is in a similar situation to Rob in this regard, this is his first film, so although his name is in the producer's column, he is the same as George. Clooney, Steven. Soderbergh, like him, was not one of the three producers who submitted for the award. This does not mean that they have not done the work of producers, only that they have fallen into the power struggle. -- Although there are no words to explain it, for those who know the business, they can see at a glance what these three places represent.

Sidney. , the signature of this movie, although he may not have done much actual trivial work, but the most basic connection between investors and directors, including the general trend of the film, the recruitment of the main actors, this is done by him, so he has no problem at all with being the first to be the first place, of course, this is also a Hollywood convention, big producers can get a lot of money by making a phone call, and they can also be ranked first in the list of producers.

Kerry. Oronte, this should be the production director who is really in charge of trivial matters, and he is also the representative of Warner, the largest funder, for those who know better, Carrey's name and Warner are very frequently linked, which is enough to explain his attributes, and to get this place also shows that he has a deep background in Warner, so he was not hacked by the executives in charge of docking on Warner's side of the award.

Jennifer. Jefferson, she is probably not in the control of the film at all, after all, she was originally the executive producer in the cast and crew of IMDB - this position is for related households, actors, and directors, just because Jennifer funded and participated, coupled with a deep background, so she hung the title of producer in the film in the later stage, and now she has stubbornly intercepted the third spot, or it is possible that the film company originally only planned to declare Sidney and Carrey, and she insisted on participating and asking for a chance to go on stage. After all, she is only Ottie this year, and her hope of winning the award is very slim, as the hero of the film, it is not surprising that she wants this opportunity, and it is even more not surprising that Warner follows her will, Steven. Soderbergh is George. Clooney's best friend, after George quit, he will definitely fade out, these two will definitely not be able to compete with Jennifer in this film, and "Michael. Clayton has sold more than $100 million worldwide, which is too eye-catching for an Olympian film, and with the follow-up copyright, it is simply a lot of money, and even if you hate Jennifer. Jefferson's people, it's hard to say that the scale of the film's profits has little to do with her.

However, see Sidney. When Pollack pulled Jennifer into the microphone, people's thoughts immediately changed: although the Oscars did not explicitly stipulate that the winners must speak according to their position, the unspoken rules of the workplace are universal rules all over the world. The big producer of "Clayton", or to put it bluntly, who is the key person who really won this award! As for the remaining two people, the profit is just some marginal halos, and who should be attributed to the success of this film, everyone in the industry knows in their hearts.

In this case, there is no such thing as a fake gentleman, and the big producer is to be the first to speak, so this matter can be viewed on two levels, the first layer, Sidney. Pollack was clearly promoting Jennifer. Jefferson, because Jennifer is a latecomer, you can feel this by recalling the order of the news, when she joined, in fact, more than half of the work of the big producers had already been done; Second floor, Jennifer. Jefferson must have played a great role at the production level, allowing Sidney to see her potential, otherwise, even if he regrets and fights for Jennifer not winning the Oscar, the old Sidney will not do this......

It seems that the rumors in the industry, even including those stories told in some interviews with Daniel, are not needed for publicity, and the crew really relied on Jennifer to invite Daniel. The Great Buddha of Day-Lewis ......

Jerry. Bruckheimer, Scott. Rudin, Catherine. Kennedy...... These gold medal producers were either on the scene, or in front of the TV, or had already watched the whole show, or had just turned on the TV a little absent-mindedly, but at this moment, they all squinted their eyes and looked at Jennifer with a new eye. Jefferson - Of course, they were very familiar with her before today, this girl is like a walking humanoid money printing machine, never a movie misses, it explodes wherever she goes, but, before that, even the people who are most optimistic about her did not expect that she was just 27 years old, and she has only been debuting for 7 years, and she already has such excellent production ability, and even has already obtained Sidney. Pollack's appreciation of a big director and a big producer is a bit of a handpicked successor by him......

Leonardo is a big star who became famous very early, where was he when he debuted 7 years ago? "Total Eclipse Love" and "Romeo and Juliet" have just been released, and the hit work "Titanic" is still in production, even after "Titanic" exploded for 7 years, he just got Martin in 2004. Scorsese's appreciation began to make a name for himself as a producer in blockbuster films, but even so, everyone is sure that he certainly hasn't really done the job of a producer, at least until now, he doesn't have the ability. And Jennifer. What about Jefferson? She was the first hit of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in 2003, and now, 5 years later, she is already working as a producer of Otti movies......

It's not that Leonardo's pace is too slow, it's Jennifer. Jefferson went so fast! So much so that people can only compare Leonardo to her - if there is no special reason, such as her own funding, the theme is a female film, and female stars rarely even have the opportunity to be a famous producer. What about Jefferson? In the films she has since become famous, with the exception of "Pirates of the Caribbean", she has almost always had the title of producer, rather than a dry executive producer. The girl's ambitions, abilities and background have been revealed from this point of view, but people are too lax until today she stood on the Oscar stage and put her "Michael. When the identity of one of the big producers of Clayton" and even the chief producer was revealed, they suddenly realized that they still underestimated her!

"Sidney-" At this moment, of course, Jenny didn't care about guessing what the bystanders were thinking, the time to receive the award was very limited, she couldn't think too much, she could only act with instinct, she left the microphone, not letting her voice be heard in front of the public, and even a little pleading, a little uneasy to Sidney. Pollack said, "You don't have to—"

Sidney shook his head, and Jenny could tell that he was not reluctant at all, "Don't waste any time, Jennifer, you deserve it." ”

Carey on one side. Oronte also chimed in without any psychological burden, "J.J., go ahead, it'sok." Anyway, he has to be the third in line, and being able to come on stage to receive the award has made him very satisfied, which means that his qualifications have since gone up to a new level.

Although this is the last award, the speaking time will be relaxed, but there is no room for three people on the stage to pull and pull, politely come and go, Jenny reluctantly pressed her excitement, turned around and stood in front of the microphone, she looked at the black head of the audience, and the camera equipment that was dispatched back and forth - those well-dressed staff in front of and behind the scenes, their brains suddenly fell into a brief blank: compared with the last time she stood in front of the stage, this time she was more prepared, and the last time she won the Best Supporting Actress, She didn't even prepare much for the acceptance speech, and today in "Michael. Clayton had a chance of winning Best Film, but she still asked Judy to write her an acceptance speech...... But now, when she was pushed in front of her by Sidney, the proper acceptance speech seemed to be washed away by the surging emotions in her heart, and it was gone, and she couldn't even remember a word.

"WOW," there was silence for two seconds, and after gathering her thoughts, Jenny said a little joke almost instinctively, "To be honest, I didn't expect to be on stage to accept the award in such a short period of time after I took away two trophies on this stage two years ago, so, if I'm incoherent now, don't laugh at me, because I'm not like Joel just now. Cohen and Ethan. Cohen, like Cohen, has been holding an inscription card in the audience and reciting words. ”

Her words sparked laughter from the audience, and although the Coen brothers were not present and went backstage for interviews when the results of the best film came out, the crew of "No Country for Old Men" all laughed happily: Jenny's words were humorous and complimentary, referring to the Coen brothers' great confidence in the award.

"There are so many people I want to thank for that, Daniel, for trusting me," Jenny continued, "Oh I'm sorry, I should have thanked the Academy first - thank you for giving me this award." ”

The laughter was louder, and the good-natured applause rang out, and everyone could see it: Jennifer. Jefferson really didn't have much to prepare, and this time, maybe it was Sidney. Pollack was moved, she was a little emotional.

"And Daniel, thank you for your willingness to give us a chance, when I went to meet you in Scotland I just wanted to try as best and leave no regrets, you made this happen today." Jenny no longer thinks about the words, but thinks of where to say, "It feels even better to see you win the award than it does for me, of course, it would be nice if both happened at the same time, but it's also very good right now." ”

Amid a laugh, she continued, "And Tom. Wilkinson, your performance was outstanding, Tony. Gilroy, your genius director made it all happen, George. Clooney, thank you for your support and love, Steven. Soderbergh, Anthony. Minghella, James. Holt, thank you, and the staff at Time Warner, House of Smoke, and Big Dream, my agent Cesare, PR Judy, Jim, Mary, sorry I can't really remember too many names right now, maybe I really need to go to a psychiatric hospital to get my head cleaned up as the media reported. ”

Her nature is not very funny, and most of the humor in front of the media is arranged in advance, and tonight is considered to be extraordinary, and she laughed again and again, and Jenny also laughed a few times, and then turned serious, "And most importantly, Sidney. Pollack. ”

She glanced back at Sidney, the old man smiled and waved his hand, looking a little shy, Jenny continued, "I don't know how to express my gratitude to you, Sidney, you've supported me so comprehensively - God, I don't know what to say, without you, there would be no Michael. Clayton", not even a new movie I'm working on, Sidney, thank you very much. ”

She left the microphone and hugged Sidney tightly, and then turned back, she looked at the thousands of smiling faces in the audience, and at this moment, Jeanne felt a tsunami-like sense of accomplishment—happiness, a feeling that she could not describe, a feeling that filled her heart, and made her feel warm and sour at the same time—in this moment, she felt her connection to the world, like a big dream in the middle of the night, the infinite expansion of the connection she felt in her communication with Cesare, All the efforts were rewarded at this moment, and all the melancholy, hesitation, and wandering were all gone.

"Finally, I want to say that being an actress is not easy, being a female producer is the same, being a celebrity is an unimaginable burden, and my career has had a lot of painful side effects, like I just said, people pay too much attention to your private life, the process of making a movie is full of pain, but the film itself compensates for everything, when we make a good movie, when our efforts are recognized, our film changes the world, even if it is just a little bit - All of this is well worth it. She tried to hold back her tears and held up the little golden figure high, "The movie changed everything for me, and I feel very lucky to be picked!" Thank you! ”

In the thunderous applause from the audience, she stepped aside, trying to suppress her emotions, everything became blurred in the tears, Daniel, Tom and Tony walked up to her and hugged her, Sidney and Terry's speeches, in the thanks and cheers of the entire crew, the ceremony was over, and the crew went backstage for an interview, and then of course, there was the afterparty held by "Vanity Fair"-

"Sidney," when Jenny came back to her senses, they were already standing near the photo board, waiting for the end of the photo shoot with the crew of "No Country for Old Men", and she didn't even know what she had said in the interview session just now - at this moment, Jenny didn't care, she seized the gap and earnestly told Sidney. "I don't really know what to say—"

She knows very well how much sacrifice Sidney has made just now, her speech is the first, occupying most of the time, Sidney and Carey's speeches have become less eye-catching in comparison, and his approach is not only to give up the home field to her, but even to say that "Michael. The number one contributor to the production of Clayton was ceded to Jenny.

"You earned it." Sidney patted Jenny on the shoulder soothingly, perhaps seeing Jenny's emotional ups and downs, he also became a little serious, "Listen, I'm not doing charity, this film wouldn't have won this award without your and Daniel's performances, we would have lost to No Country for Old Men, and we wouldn't even be able to win a little golden man - without you, there would be no Daniel, this award belongs to you, there is no doubt about it." ”

Kerry nodded too, and even Tony smiled innocently and said, "Of course, Sidney is not wrong, you deserve it." ”

"No Country for Old Men" left the board, and "Michael. The crew of Clayton walked by, but Jenny didn't move, she said, "But, you're a big producer after all—"

Sidney laughed, "Oh, don't say that—"

He put his arm around Jenny's shoulders and said in a casual tone as he moved to the board, "I know you're so touched that you don't even know how to reciprocate the favor - I know exactly how you're feeling, do you know why?" ”

Jenny shook her head honestly.

"Because forty years ago, when I first tried to make films, I got help from a lot of my predecessors," Sidney said, "Frankheimer, Jane Fonda, Barbara. Streisand, when I first started with nothing, was John Brown. Frankheimer gave me one opportunity after another, and I ended up directing, and he never asked for anything for it - I had the same doubts as you at the time, and I didn't know how to thank him, you know, now I understand how he feels, John doesn't need my return, to pave the way for young people, and to see him or her contribute his or her talent to a cause that we all love so much is the best reward in itself. ”

"This is my fourth Oscar," Sidney's voice was vague with the characteristic slurry of an older man, "I guess this is also my last, the doctors are saying that my lesions have metastasized, I can't go to the party, I have to go home and rest, tonight's attendance has drained my energy, do you know what I need?" Jennifer? When we were working on this film, I wanted you to star in my next film, and I wanted to watch an extraordinarily talented actor burn himself in my lens again, but now, I can't think like that anymore, time doesn't allow me to think like that. ”

He shook his head, his somewhat cloudy eyes narrowed, and looked at Jenny with a smile—this was the first time Sidney had mentioned his condition to her, and as far as she knew, he had never mentioned it to the media before. "At my last Oscar, I don't want to see me, this old man with little time leading the show on stage, no, Jennifer, I want to see you, the young you, the future you, take my place and walk into the cinematic hall. You're a very talented actress, you're the most talented actress I've ever met – and the most ambitious female producer, and I really want to see your next film, and I want to know where you can go, what kind of film you can make, and all of that makes me curious. If I can help you a little, I'll give it, and it doesn't make any sense to me, but I know it can help you - so I did it, and it's the best allocation of resources. It's not a burden, it's no sacrifice, you don't need anything in return, if you want something in return, then give me your film and let me see how far you can go, how great a movie you can make, and can it move people's hearts? Will it go down in history? Is it a good movie? ”

Sidney suddenly sighed, his voice became faster and his tone became more excited, "I know, after living in Hollywood for a long time, it all sounds unbelievable, I mean, you will have a hard time believing this after you have been in the producer business for a long time, just like I did when I was younger, you don't believe that in this industry full of games, calculations and power struggles, money and even blood, there is anyone else who will help you for your talent, and you don't even think about asking for anything in return - but it is true: at the end of the day you will find that The most important thing is the movie. ”

He sighed, in this moment, Sidney looked old and tired like never before, yet he was so calm and content.

- He muttered, "At the end of the day, you'll understand that all you care about is the movies." ”

"Jennifer—" Judy's voice came from not far away, "Sidney—may you come over for a moment?" ”

In front of the photo board, the crew members seemed to have been waiting for a while, without her and Sidney, the family photo would not be able to complete the shooting, Sidney reached out to Jenny, asked her to support his somewhat weak steps, and led her to the spotlight.
