Chapter 308: The End Time (Part I)

""Tales of the Night Prequel" is about to be released, Jennifer. Bell Potbelly appeared at a fashion party and talked about her new husband's happiness and was asked about Jennifer. Jefferson declined to make any comments at the time......"

Jennifer. Jefferson has not been seen yet, and there are rumors that she has suffered a depressive episode and is secretly hospitalized. ”

The spokesman denied any information about Jennifer. Jefferson's assumptions, 'She's on vacation,' declined all requests for an interview. ”

"Rumor it is Jennifer. Jefferson believed in evil. Teach, like perverts, is a secret s.m lover ......"

When seeing this one, even Robert. Iger, a veteran who has been immersed in Hollywood for many years and has read all the news, couldn't help but shake his head and sneered, he let go of the mouse, stretched his upper body, stood up from his notebook, greeted the two daughters who ran into the house from the courtyard with a smile, picked up the younger daughter and kissed him, "Want some lemonade, babies?" ”

"It's Sunday, Bob." Willow, who walked into the house with his daughters, looked at his laptop and said to Robert with a frown and some reproach, "We said okay, we don't bring work home, and we don't work on Sundays." ”

"I don't have a job, I'm just watching some news." The family turned to the kitchen, and Robert poured two large glasses of cold lemonade for his two daughters, and took out small biscuits and put them on the table, and then turned to Willow to explain, but his lame excuse could not be concealed from his wife, Willow. Bei rolled his eyes at him, but did not continue the seizure, but took out the cup, poured water for himself and said casually, "Hasn't this matter subsided?" -- It's been more than 10 days, and according to common sense, the media should have been looking for a new explosion a long time ago. ”

"You're right – the media should have shifted their attention a long time ago, so it doesn't look like a spontaneous piece of news." Robert turned on the faucet to wash off the sweat and mud stains on his hands, poured himself a glass of lemonade, handed over the two children to the nanny who followed the kitchen, and moved to a quieter living room with his wife - Willow, a well-known news anchor, could help him a lot in this regard, "I've always wondered if this is for Oscar or Jennifer - now it seems that if someone didn't see the opportunity and wanted to take the opportunity to give Jennifer a little blow, then the ultimate goal of the people behind the scenes should still be Jennifer." , Oscar is just a third party in this matter. ”

Willow didn't wear glasses, she squinted cautiously at the search page, and also sighed at Robert's reaction to the news, "Depression? Evil. Teach? Even pagesix distributed such news? Jennifer depressive episode? - It seems that this person behind the scenes does hate Jennifer to the core, and there is indeed a strong conflict of interest between them - if I didn't know that Disney and Big Dream have worked together so far, I would even think that you have collapsed and turned your face, and you are behind the scenes trying to hack Jennifer. ”

"That's what I thought too." Robert made an expression to his wife, "Except for the Big Six, which company has this strength?" I'm really curious now, when did Jennifer offend Paramount, Universal, or Sony? If that's the case, why can't I even get the slightest bit of news? ”

Among the elites of the media industry, Willow and Robert, there are many things that do not need to be said explicitly, such as why Willow saw evil. Teaching the news made the judgment that 'there are large companies that want to get Jennifer to death', because this is the standard configuration of public opinion warfare of large companies, and in the eyes of experts, it can be easily seen that this is no longer a small friction that can be explained, it is completely a strong grudge, and it has reached the point where they can't be calm without destroying Jennifer and Big Dream.

Generally speaking, it is common for Hollywood production companies and stars to have conflicts, after all, film production is a very successful industry, and successful filmmakers have very strong personalities, stars and directors do not agree, refuse to attend film promotion, make inappropriate remarks in public, damage the face of big production companies, and the division of interests between the two sides cannot be discussed, which is the source of conflict. And how the conflict will end in the end, it depends on the broker's mediation methods, if it is a general conflict, the big production company may be over, after all, they come out to do business for money, or a group of harmony is the most important. But if it angers the company's top management, then the most common thing is to fire the main actor - of course, the coffee is as big as Jenny, and the connection with the series is as close as Johnny. At the point of Depp and "Pirates of the Caribbean", then there is another gold medal for avoiding death - if you are not big enough, then don't die, even the main actor may be fired, and even the rest of the company's films will close the door to you after the expulsion, and the matter is almost the end of the matter: in Hollywood, which is so competitive, losing the identity of the lead actor of the series is already a great punishment for the actor.

However, it is unlikely that a big name like Jenny will clash with a big studio because of her words, and even if she keeps making inappropriate remarks, as long as the box office influence remains, the company will laugh it off. The only thing that can really make her fall out with a company is the uneven distribution of benefits, and the consequences of this fall are very serious - just like Paramount and Tom. Cruise, because of the uneven division of interests in the "Mission Impossible" series, the two sides eventually broke up, and Paramount then used his influence to make Tom. Cruise's public prestige has fallen into a great ebb, and it has also entered a low production period from the original boom period, and the production company he started is even more dismal, struggling on the verge of bankruptcy.

Of course, from the superstar that the whole United States looked up to has become ugly. Smell the haunting controversial figure, Tom. Cruise's own crazy performances also contributed to this, such as his attack on Beckie Smalls for taking antidepressants and his couch jumping on a talk show. Cruise's belief in Scientology is not a matter of a day or two, and this matter has finally entered the public eye. Cruise's mental state became a hot topic of discussion, and both Robert and Willow knew it: Paramount's propaganda also contributed to it. If there is no Paramount, Tom's PR will definitely be able to suppress the news, at least the length of time the media tracks the report, or the specifications of the report, and the quality of the media are controlled. It is precisely because of Paramount being behind the scenes that the media will promote this matter so hard, dragging Tom into the abyss and making him officially a fallen superstar - when these news swept the United States with the heat and durability they should not have, Robert had already predicted at that time: Paramount and Tom must have a problem, otherwise there would never be such a big movement in this matter, and sure enough, just a few months, Paramount announced the end of the relationship with Tom. Cruise's contract kicked the hero out of the company's door. External reasons were declared that Paramount couldn't stand Tom. Cruise's madness, but a few months later, the rumors that Robert received were more plausible - the reason why the two sides fell apart was because Paramount couldn't stand the fact that he was better than Tom in the "Mission Impossible" series. Cruise is still young, it is indeed an imbalance of interests, there is no negotiation, and during the negotiations, Tom angered Paramount, and Paramount also let Hollywood see how good it is, let them know that even superstars, after angering big studios, life is not so easy......

From Tom. Judging from the Cruise incident, Jennifer's Oscar scandal also has clear traces of human manipulation, Willow has a point, if Robert is not the CEO of Disney, he will also wonder if there is something wrong with Disney and Big Dream, so he will use such a means to reduce Jennifer's influence - but Robert, who knows that this matter is purely imaginary, is still a little suspicious, I don't know whether this public opinion storm is aimed at Jennifer or Oscar: both sides are big moves, It's hard to say who is being dragged down by whom.

However, since a few days ago, the trend of the news has slowly shown an overall trend - the voice of questioning the Oscar hype has gradually weakened, and the attack on Jennifer has intensified. As soon as the news of the mental breakdown came out, the answer was really obvious - in the United States, if you want to attack a star, finding these two points is the most effective and convenient, especially the mental breakdown, for Jennifer, who has had too much stress and mental disorder news before, it is really easy to use, in the next few years, as long as she does not show up for a period of time, then you can rely on this, the credibility of the big media, repeated reports in the past few years, enough to leave this impression on the public, and then to clear this suspicion, Then it's not that easy. Especially Jennifer, who has always been extremely low-key, is a devout believer, has a healthy lifestyle, and doesn't even have tattoos, the attack power of these two stalks is extremely strong, and it can directly act on her fan base. The poison is much better, and if you think about the websites that publish these news, they are either pagesix or people, all of them are the media that ranks first in credibility, it can be seen that Jennifer is really provoking a big company this time, and the other party is ready to use the highest level of means to serve, so that her star career will be dimmed, and the momentum will not be as high as it is now.

"Maybe it's because she's getting in someone else's way?" Willow said in a speculative tone, "Maybe these companies want to make sure that Jennifer doesn't win an Oscar in a few years - Natalie has been preparing for the Olympics for a few years, and I heard that there will be a blockbuster movie coming out next year-"

"I didn't hear from it." Robert shook his head, "Besides, Natalie doesn't have to worry about this, she just won another Oscar, this time it is impossible to win another award in a few years, Jennifer won the award, she should be the happiest one, if she is nominated this year and does not win the award, she should be worried...... Besides, I haven't heard of any new love songs from Natalie in the past few years......"

He smiled and didn't continue the topic, "It won't be an actress, now the company's directors have less and less influence on the inside, and the CEOs can't do it, I'm thinking, follow the evil. Teach and nervous breakdowns begin and look a lot like Paramount style, but I don't know about Brad. What was Gray thinking......"

"You want to give Brad a call?" Willow said keenly, "If that's the case, shouldn't this call be made for Dick?" ”

The docking of the company, just like the diplomacy of the two countries, is very particular about reciprocal reception, which also makes the communication between the Disney Group and the Big Six a little embarrassing, because Disney, as a media and amusement group, is not as large as the other five parent companies, but Robert, as the CEO of the group, if he and Brad. Gray, Jeff. If Robinoff came to contact, it would be a self-surrender again, so this matter was indeed a bit tricky for Robert, he shook his head, and first denied his wife's statement, "If it's really Brad, letting Dick say hello will only make things worse...... You know Dick has been lobbying the board of directors to limit Big Dream's business to small and medium-sized investments under $50 million, and Big Dream is going to make a superhero movie this year -- and it's avoiding the main part and working with Warner, which does annoy the board. ”

After glancing at his wife, Willow sighed and stretched out his hand to rub her husband's arm encouragingly: As the CEO of the group, it is indeed quite difficult to balance the relationship between various departments and avoid excessive internal friction. Especially when the performance of Disney's headquarters is not eye-catching, but it is acquired and Disney's investment and shares of various companies have outstanding report cards, it is normal for the headquarters to complain. Now when it comes to animation, Disney has Pixar, and when it comes to comics, Disney has Marvel - this was originally Disney's strength, as for big dreams, whether it is an art film, a small-budget commercial film or a big production, in addition to not doing animation, the development is almost ready to catch up with the headquarters, Dick. Cook doesn't have a sense of crisis, that's weird.

"It's time to give Jennifer a call." Knowing the factional struggles within Disney, as well as her husband's difficulties and considerations, Willow could only say this, and she whispered, "I know that the board wants you to take this opportunity to expand your stake in Big Dream, but in any case, you have to express your personal attitude - Jennifer has avoided a big investment loss for you after all......"

Where is this phone so easy to call...... If you make a greeting call, but don't talk about the recent storm of public opinion, it is actually equivalent to a statement and a hint to help Jennifer understand the true mentality of the board of directors and her own position, which may make Big Dream and Disney centrifuge - this is something that Robert is not happy to see, and the strong rise of Big Dream will help him establish authority within the group, and he does not want to see Big Dream and Disney drift apart.

However, with a phone call, this is certainly exposed, even if Jennifer can't find out about it, Cesare. It is impossible for Vijri to miss - the attitude of the two founders to hold each other tightly is actually a piece of Robert's heart, when he took a stake in Big Dream, to say that he did not think of using the equality of equity between the two to seek some benefits for Disney, it is indeed a lie, but now, five years later, their relationship is still as close as ever, Robert of course knows that the whole marriage is for another purpose, but he will not doubt the close cooperation between Jennifer and Cesare, under the control of these two people, Although Disney has a stake in Big Dream, but the right to speak is indeed not strong at all, the entire superhero movie project, including the decision to cooperate with Warner, is indeed very unhappy for some members of the board of directors, wanting to expand Disney's voice in Big Dream, not to covet Big Dream's profits, but to want to deepen the partnership between Big Dream and Disney: since Jennifer. The movie starring Jefferson is a guarantee of a blockbuster, so why does Big Dream still cooperate with Fox and Warner?

But then again, it's not okay if you don't make this call now, the other party is aimed at Jennifer personally, which is already so obvious, if Disney's previous silence can be explained, then now, as Jennifer's □□, if he doesn't control the damage for Jennifer, in fact, he has already revealed the company's attitude, and the big dream is going to be centrifuged, and now it is estimated that it has already begun to leave. This made Robert's mood a little heavy, but it also gave him the motivation to make up for the loss: Big Dream's relationship with Disney is one thing, his personal relationship with Jennifer is another, Willow is right, just look at Jennifer's super intuition, Robert can't give up his friendship with Jennifer, if nothing else, let's talk about the Lehman Brothers incident last year, Jennifer avoided the loss for him is in the tens of millions of dollars. The position of CEO of Disney may not sit for a lifetime, but the assets will always belong to Robert himself, and Robert has not yet had such noble sentiments by sacrificing his personal friendship for the sake of the company.

After a family dinner with the children who had taken a bath and smelled fragrant, Robert returned to his study, he looked at the phone thoughtfully, thought about it again, and divided the information he could reveal in the conversation, and then picked up his phone and dialed Jennifer's phone number.

"Hi Bob!" After a few rings, Jennifer picked up the phone, her voice was still so pleasant, Robert could clearly hear the crashing of the waves in the background noise - it seemed that Jennifer was really enjoying a private vacation on the beachfront, as she had announced, and it was not known if Cesare was not with her, and what they were going to do with this vacation...... "I haven't heard from you for a long time." ”

Even though Robert's face is certainly not thin, he can't help but feel a little sting because of Jennifer's pleasant greeting: in this matter, Disney should act as the backing of Big Dream, call with care at the first time, and work with Big Dream to extinguish the fire......

He let go of his role as Disney CEO and replied heartily, "Hi J.J., yes, I should have called earlier, but, you know, sometimes CEOs don't think of what to do - are you okay?" Girl? ”

There was a flurry of knowing-witting laughter on the phone - Jennifer seemed to have fully understood his subtext, but she didn't sound so much about the company's inaction, and instead said sincerely, "I'm fine, thank you so much for your old friend's concern, Bob - seriously, person-to-person, I'm thanking you for calling." ”

It's always very comfortable to get along with Jennifer, although when they first met, Jennifer was indeed a little naïve, but her magnanimity and empathy have always been very significant advantages, after a few years of contacts, Robert found that he really regarded Jennifer as his friend, knowing that Jennifer was not affected by those overwhelming attacks, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and at the same time worried about Jennifer: if Jennifer is a little light on the attack that is now slowing down, thinking that the storm of public opinion has passed, Then she is undoubtedly very wrong, this girl may not understand the seriousness of the matter: and in the case that Disney does not plan to come forward to protect her for the time being, her situation is indeed quite dangerous - to be honest, from this point of view, Robert thinks that the expansion of Disney's shares, in exchange for the protection of the company, in fact, can not be said to be unreasonable, although the price seems to be a bit high, but in Hollywood, except for the Big Six, no one can help Jennifer at this time, and the company that is qualified to sell, Anyone's offer will be darker than Disney's. This is not something that can be solved by continuing to drag it down, the more it drags on, the greater the loss, in this case, it is better to complete the transaction as soon as possible, now it is only two weeks before the news, as long as the operation is done properly, within six months, the public will still forget about it, not like Tom. Cruise, now his image in the minds of the masses has been fixed as 'evil. Teaching control, a big star with certain mental problems', wants to wash off these two labels, I don't know what year and month it will be.

However, Robert did not intend to get straight to the point, he was worried that having him as a lobbyist would make Jennifer have bad associations, but would affect their personal relationship, and he wanted to get to the bottom of Jennifer to see what she, or Cesare, and to a large extent, Cesare - thought about the matter.

"Well, it's very relaxing to know that you're fine right now," he said with a relaxed smile, "you know, now that the media has started to associate you with the mental hospital, and although I know the news can't be trusted, I have to admit that I'm human too, and I'm also affected by the 'pencil awe.'" ”

"Yes, yes, I saw the news too." Jennifer laughed, and said helplessly and self-deprecatingly, "Maybe this is the life experience that every big star must have - being attacked by the media, I mean, is it really that big of an impact on them with two Oscars?" It's unimaginable. ”

It sounds like Jennifer doesn't know who's behind her now, or what's the reason for all this, and she may not even realize it's a premeditated sniper operation, just taking it as a normal media stress response. Robert frowned, mentally weighing the stakes -- and thinking about the spectacle of the collapse of Lehman Brothers last year: the savings of many of his friends had been wiped out by the collapse.

"I don't think it's necessarily directly related to the two Oscars," he said tactfully—if even Cesare didn't see that, then it means that the two young men are still inexperienced and inconsistent, and if Cesare sees this, Jennifer is just playing dumb, then it will help them understand their position and strengthen the trust between the two sides—and Robert said bluntly, "Maybe it was the box office performance of Big Dream last year that was quite eye-catching, which aroused the alarm of some big companies." Let them want to put some limits on you, at least, to draw a line between the Oscars and the Big Dream films, and in that respect, they've actually achieved their goal - but it's all the details, dear Jennifer, I'm worried now that they're not going to be satisfied, and they might want to do more......"

Can they do more? Of course they could have done more, and Robert himself could have thought of a lot of 'more', but he wasn't going to say it right now - if this was Jennifer's first time hearing the argument, she would have to have to be given some time to react, and instilling too much at once might cause unnecessary suspicion and cause Jennifer to rebound and be alert when Robert brought him what he thought was the most appropriate disposition.

"You mean—" Jennifer's tone changed, and the pleasure was gone, and she was clearly taken aback by the news, "it's not—but—this—Bob—"

The sound of the waves faded from the background, and the sound of footsteps and doors closing suggested that Jennifer had really begun to value the call: she had returned to a quieter room. Robert quietly waited for Jennifer's response, calculating a mutually acceptable solution - Disney could buy a portion of Jennifer and Cesare's shares on very good terms, and the price they offered could put the couple in the blink of an eye into the ranks of Hollywood's most valuable billionaires, which was the tendency of the board, but Robert's own feeling was that if Jennifer was not happy, then he could try to mediate, as long as Disney got more voting rights. Or even a package contract that stipulates that several of the co-productions of Big Dream must work with the department each year, and the board of directors should be happy with that......

"Bob, are you sure you're telling the truth?" Jennifer asked, she still sounded a little incredulous, "Just because of the box office?" I mean, it's just because Big Dream did well at the box office last year by accident—"

"Of course, we know that the results of "Monroe" and "Twilight" are indeed an accident, but the box office is the box office after all," Robert changed his phone, and after a little consideration, he revealed an inside message, "Honey, I'm afraid you underestimate the results of Big Dream, even within the group, there are people who feel very glaring about your results, honey, you should understand, otherwise, what do you think prevented me from calling you?" ”

"I ...... I thought Dick wanted to see how unlucky I was," Jennifer sighed, her voice full of frustration, like a little girl who had just been hit, "and you have to take care of his emotions, and so on...... I didn't expect the box office to be a reason to attack me personally......"

Poor girl......

Even knowing that this poor girl actually just won her fifth Oscar at the age of 28, Robert does not deny that sometimes he does feel pity for Jennifer, this girl has talent - even more than a talent, acting, production, investment, she has a genius performance, but like every genius, she also has an extremely ignorant side, and is ignorant of this weakness of herself, like the kind of pampered willfulness she showed when the two sides were negotiating, she never intended it, It's just that she's too talented, too beautiful, too lucky, to never know the whole world, and this ignorance makes one feel sorry for her, and even has the urge to live forever on the bright side, imagine her frustration when she knows that the jungle is the strongest, and the shock when she knows that she has done nothing wrong, just because she's too powerful to provoke an attack.

"My dear," he softened, "maybe you won't believe that, but I'm afraid companies don't care if they attack each other or not—just like the audience doesn't care about the truth and just needs a good story, all they care about is the result." And that's why I called, to find out who wants to deal with you, J.J, think about it, and then try to solve this trouble, if you need to, you can call me at any time, this matter must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very bad for your future Oscar journey, in order to avoid suspicion, the Oscar will definitely be extremely strict with your future works, I don't think we will want to see this. ”

"Of course, of course." Jennifer was shocked for a short time, but quickly accepted this, she agreed repeatedly, and then said sincerely, "Bob, you are really a true friend, I remember this favor - by the way, since you called, then I just happened to talk to you about my recent idea, in the next few years, the big dream is to make a series of live-action films adapted from classic fairy tales, we think we can have a deep cooperation with Disney, would you be interested in hearing my thoughts-"

An invitation to cooperate with Big Dream? Of course, Robert is interested, and few people in Hollywood will say no to this invitation, but he is not spending too much time on Jennifer's sentence now, but is a little anxious: this is not a question that can be ended with a few words of 'of course, of course', Jennifer doesn't think this matter can be easily solved, right? It sounds like she didn't pay much attention to the matter, and this goes against Robert's original intention of making this call, although this invitation to cooperate shows that Big Dream doesn't mind Disney's inaction, which is good news for him as a CEO, but whether it is a private person or a collaborator's point of view, he doesn't want Jennifer to be 'hyped up with Oscar' and 'nervous breakdown' for a long time. In addition to being bad for personal image, this will also lead to a very real crisis - what if the mastermind behind the scenes starts attacking Jennifer and Cesare for a fake marriage? This is also a common angle of attack, and once the public's attention is turned here, Big Dream may really be in trouble.

"Absolutely." He said anxiously, forcibly turning the subject back, "But you may not understand the seriousness of the problem, Jennifer, don't you want to win another Oscar in the future-"

"Of course I do." Jennifer was amused by him, and her tone relaxed again, revealing her usual innocence, "And I'm going to win the Oscar in the future--Bob, don't worry, it's time for this farce to come to an end--if you're interested, keep an eye on tonight's evening news-ah, it's eight o'clock EST, right?" Then turn on the TV, I think they'll be broadcasting the statement soon-"

"What?" Robert was stunned and repeated, "Play the statement—"

Although he was still a little unresponsive to Jennifer's words, he instinctively turned on the TV and tuned to CNN - the evening news roundup had been broadcast to the United Nations news, which was the end of the political news, and then the scene quickly cut to a news map: Jennifer, dressed in a blue gown, smiled and held up two statuettes to the camera.

Robert didn't care about asking Jennifer any more questions, and he frowned and turned up his voice, just in time for the end of the narration, "...... Director Edward. Carter, on behalf of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, issued a statement to the media to clarify the doubts that have dominated public opinion for some time.

The scene then switches to a small hall, accompanied by the continuous sound of photographs, an old Jewish man with pursed lips walks up to the podium and begins to read a statement: "The Academy is shocked and disappointed by the direction of news and public opinion in recent times, and these unfounded doubts have seriously damaged the reputation of Oscar. Ms. Jefferson's personal reputation, as well as her private life. The Academy has never interfered with or guided members to vote, and all members' votes are made in a fair environment, based on the performance of the film, actors, and staff members, and members will not be biased in voting because of the actors' past achievements, regardless of whether the inclination is positive or negative. Jennifer. Ms. Jefferson has won five Oscars in the last five years, which is really something that hasn't happened since the Oscars were created, but, as I said, it's because she's done enough to win five Oscars in the last five years. Jennifer. Ms. Jefferson didn't know she was going to win the award before she attended the Oscars, just like all of us, before the envelope was torn open, only PwC's accountants could know the outcome, Ms. Jefferson's performance at the gala was an emergency, but the Academy expressed our heartfelt wishes for this, we are very happy that the Kodak Theatre can be a place for a couple to get engaged, and the Oscars can lead to a couple's marriage, but the Academy has never and will never have anything to do with hype, marketing, and we reserve the right to defamation, The right of the detractor to institute legal proceedings. ”

After he finished reading the statement, with the continuous sound of photographs, there was a series of inquiries from the audience, and many reporters asked loudly, "Why is the press conference of the academy held in such a hurry?" ”

"Did the college communicate with Miss Jefferson about the press conference beforehand?"

"Will the Academy still include Miss Jefferson's work in the future?"

"How would the College explain Miss Jefferson's eccentric performance before and after the awards ceremony?"

"Does the Academy really think Jefferson deserves every award she's gotten? Even Catherine. Hepburn didn't win three Oscars for acting in such a short period of time, and the academy considered Jennifer . Is Jefferson already so great? ”

In a series of questions, Ed. Carter chose to answer last, and he didn't seem to be in a very good mood - Ed glared at the camera viciously before he said with a calm face.

"Actors never vote for an actor because the Oscars are great, sir, on the contrary, the Oscars are a great award because the seven thousand members of the academy can always pick out great works, if we choose not to vote for any actor because he or she has already won an Oscar, then, the Oscars will not be recognized by the whole United States or even the world, it is not the Oscars that make the actors, but the actors who make the Oscars! Jennifer. Ms. Jefferson is one of many great people who made the Oscars great because of them! ”

This heated remark succeeded in quieting the scene, and no one tried to interrupt Ed's speech, except for the sound of the shutter sounding continuously—yes, it was hardly a question from a reporter, but a small speech, and there is no doubt that Ed's words represented the will of the Academy, and it could even be said that it was a speech prepared before the stage, and by no means an improvisation by Ed himself.

"As for the attitude of the academy after that," Ed seemed to be encouraged by the reaction on the scene, his back straightened, and his tone became more and more powerful, "The academy will never give up on the recognition of masterpieces for any reason, whether it is his or her past achievements, political positions, or doubts from the outside world, we believe that all this will eventually pass without a trace, only masterpieces can be eternal, and only masterpieces can make awards immortal!" ”

- Pause, Ed. Carter looked around the room, took a deep breath, and loudly made Oscar's final statement, "As long as Ms. Jefferson continues to produce masterpieces, then there is no reason why the members of the Academy should not vote for her!" ”
