"Nick, the media commentary in the past few days has turned in our favor." Sitting inside the Mystery Company, Michael looked at the comments in major magazines, knocked on the review articles, and opened his mouth to Levy, "Now, all these media outlets speak for us." ”

Just a few days ago, Levy's rebuttal had been published in the media. The media always likes to tell stories that are darker, and the museum director says that there are no agents who have mutinied, which is all false, of course, it is a darker thing than the movie, but Levy's rebuttal is just as powerful: will such information really be recorded? Your East German government doesn't have a good track record in this regard......

Such a question is even darker than the statement of the museum director, and it quickly occupies the pages of the media. And this positive response is that the eavesdropping storm and the mind catcher began a head-on confrontation, and the two films also began to compete for the Oscar for Best Picture.

And this competition quickly attracted a lot of people's attention.

"I have to say that this year's competition for Best Screenplay is very interesting, and the two people who are most likely to win the award are both people who write a screenplay for the first time. This is Matt Damon's first time writing a film script as an actor, and Levy's first time as a screenwriter for a TV series is competing for Best Screenplay for a Film. Eavesdropping Storm and Mindcatcher are arguably the two hottest films, and maybe the only chance Matt Damon can win an award. ”

There are several truths in the media: if nothing else, just look at the Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor in a Feature Film: Peter Fonda, Kevin Spacey, Dai Lewis, Leonardo, Matt Damon - any of these names is the top actor, and Matt Damon really has no chance of winning against them. Among those people, Kevin Spacey and Dai Lewis are not on the same level as him, even Peter Fonda has decades of drama skills, and even Leonardo has a Golden Bear Award, and it is almost impossible to compete and win in those awards.

Therefore, if he wants to win the award, he can only compete for the best screenplay - this is also what the media is paying attention to now, because compared to the fact that the film and the director have almost been locked by the Titanic, the competition for the best screenplay is still not so certain.

It's just that the bias of the media that Michael said is at this time, it is at this time that it is revealed.

"Among this year's best drama films, Titanic, Los Angeles Confidential and Eavesdropping Storm can be said to be the three most popular films, and among the best comedies, Perfection and the Six Heroes of Light Pig are the most likely to win awards, and these films are all noteworthy."

There is no controversy about the choice of best director, and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor is separated from the drama category and the comedy category, it is estimated that Kevin Spacey and Jack Nicholson will also have a city each, and then, after winning the Screen Actors Guild Award, they can distinguish who wins the Oscar. As for the best film prediction, the media forecast gives five films that are most likely to be nominated, which is quite interesting.

Because Oscar nominations are not separated, the five movies mentioned here are likely to be Oscar nominations, and if such a nomination is made, then it is possible that Soul Catcher will not even be nominated for Best Film.

This is actually quite normal: no matter who it is, the evaluation of these two movies will be better than the eavesdropping storm. One is a film that involves social issues and has a lot of depth, and the other is an inspirational movie that focuses on portraying the psychological problems of geniuses.

No one is unaware of such a thing. This kind of inspirational film that portrays individuals is indeed easy to get people's love, and it is easy to get a good box office.

It's just that now the competition for Best Screenplay is the final suspense, and at this time, the media predicts that the film Eavesdropping Storm is more likely to be nominated for an Oscar, which is undoubtedly publicizing that Eavesdropping Storm is more likely to be the winner of Best Screenplay.

"Bruce is still very capable of doing these things." Levy praised this. People often say that there is a specialization in the art industry, and this is true, if you want to promote the movie, Bruce is the best candidate, "However, don't be too optimistic, you know, the media publicity is only part of the story." The Mind Catcher is Weinstein's, and Weinstein has never been an easy guy to deal with. ”

Weinstein has a very unique ability to deal with public relations issues, and it can even be said that he is the most public-minded person in the whole of Hollywood. Although the critics were quite inclined towards Levy, they didn't want to offend him, and even if Levy had Bruce's help, it would not be so easy to win.

The stalemate between the eavesdropping storm and the mind catcher went on like this. Weinstein is richer, knows how to publicize, and has excellent skills, but when it comes to the media, Levy is no slouch. With the bias of the critic group, Levy's films have always been on par with him.

"Maybe at the last minute, we really can't tell who will be the one who gets the best screenplay." Michael said with a shrug.

"Of course, I think that unless there is something particularly big happening, there will be no results for a while."

Levy wasn't in a hurry, and Michael knew that he was just fighting with Weinstein, and he sat there, bored, flipping through the magazines in front of him, trying to see what people were saying about other magazines.

However, when a piece of news came into his eyes in a magazine, he was suddenly stunned.

"Nick, maybe something has changed: listen to this piece of news: I don't care what the critics say." Michael read this piece of news directly, and his voice immediately attracted Levy's attention, "I didn't shoot movies for film critics, who cares what they say?" I made movies for the audience, and what the critics said was just fart. ”

"Who said that?" Levy asked, somewhat surprised—it wasn't easy for someone to say these things during awards season.

"Ben Affleck said it." Michael laughed, "The screenwriter of Mindcatcher, he said when he was asked what he thought of the critics' accusations. ”

Hearing Ben Affleck's sudden opening, Levy was also extremely surprised: even in Levy's memory, he was a super big mouth, but he was still too strong to say.

This person has always been a person who has no mouth, Levy remembers, he publicly declared that he didn't care about giving men a blow up for the sake of performance opportunities, and suddenly angered many directors who had worked with him, in order to promote movies in Taiwan, he publicly declared to let the Chinese get out of Taiwan, and when the mainland did not allow his movies to be released, he even said that Deng's death was smoking too much, these words made Levy have a very bad impression of him.

It's just that I didn't expect such a pig teammate to be caught up by the opponent......

On the eve of film awards season, announcing that all the critics say is fart? Such a feat, Levy really admired. Indeed, there are many people in Hollywood who have a big temper and have been repeatedly abused by film critics, and they also say cruelly that they don't care about film critics, but most of those people are commercial film directors and don't care about awards. But as an actor competing for awards, what did he think about offending film critics at this time?

Just because the film critic said two sentences, he scolded like this? This is self-defeating!

Ben Affleck's words are truly remarkable to be able to waver at the original wavering as soon as he speaks, and although he deviates from the two films, he also says a lot about "Soul Catcher".

"It's interesting." Levy's eyebrows furrowed.

It's really funny, Ben Affleck's sudden words changed the whole situation at once. Originally, this competition was just a contest between Levy and Weinstein, but after Affleck said this, all the film critics were angry about it. And soon, new comments appeared right away.

"The words that Robin Williams used to persuade Matt Damon in Mind Catcher were completely illogical. His persuasive language is so weak that not even a fool can convince him, let alone a genius. This movie is just a story of a genius pickled girl with a slight bright spot, and everything else is pale and weak. ”

Soon, new reviews from film critics were published. And in these comments, the evaluation of the soul catcher can be said to be poor. They are obviously more professional than Weinstein's fault-finding. They don't target those places that can be justified, but directly accuse the lines of logic for not being rigorous enough, which is enough to make the evaluation of the movie plummet!

"If a person like Ben Affleck, who has no acting skills and is paralyzed, wins any award for a film, it is a huge disservice to the film industry. Such an actor won any award other than Jin Sumei, and all film critics could not agree! ”

At this time, this declaration of film critics suddenly made the support of the soul catcher drop sharply.

Ben Affleck messed with the wrong person - this was Levy's biggest thought, but I don't know what Weinstein's mood would be in when he met such a pig teammate.
