Chapter 98: Join the Prize Harvesting Battle
Daniel Sandler, who missed half of the awards season, won the New York Film Critics Circle Award in one fell swoop, of course, it still attracted a lot of attention, not to mention that Triver did so much foreshadowing and warm-up before the awards were awarded.
This has led to a lot of prizes in the many big and small awards that followed.
It also established a competitive situation with Beniso Delto, Albert Finney, Willem Dafoe and others in the supporting actor category.
After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" conquered the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and "Gladiator", the Screen Actors Guild Awards, which had been a super outpost of the Oscars since its inception, opened its own list of nominees.
Beniso's change to Best Actor in "Drug Network" made the supporting actor a battleground for Daniel Sandler and Albert Finney, and even if Jeff Bridges and Gary Oldman of "Dark Tide" were both shortlisted, it didn't shake the meaning of these two super hits.
"If it weren't for Beniso's destined-return to supporting actor at the Oscars and Golden Globes, I think this year's supporting actor would undoubtedly be divided between Daniel, Albert and William." The New York Times media person predicted, "At present, Albert has not yet opened, Beniso has changed to the best actor, and Daniel and William are very likely to win the Screen Actors Guild Award, but it remains to be seen whether the union will give the award to such a young Daniel." ”
Among the actor nominations, Beniso is also the biggest favorite, Russell Crowe is close behind, Tom Hanks, Joffrey Rush, Jamie Bell are escorts in the preliminary investigation, Tom Hanks is popular in New York, but he is coldly received in the union, this is the charm of awards season.
The Oscar is the final suspense, and the long awards ceremonies in the early stage are all kinds of award lists, and who can hit the Oscar in the end and become the biggest winner is naturally in full swing.
Before the union award nominees were announced, Golden Globe spokesman Mike Russell expressed his embarrassment about the endless stream of good movies this year, the American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards are selected by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and this year's only 89 judges decided dozens of awards for films and films, and it was indeed a big problem to choose a convincing nominee from more than 100 films.
The Oscars have 4,200 judges in California and 1,400 outside of California, for a total of 5,600 judges, and the Golden Globes don't even have a fraction of it, which affects the credibility of the Golden Globes.
A series of dazzling nominations and awards made the audience and Hollywood practitioners all excited.
Daniel returned to California from Paris after "Drug Network" was screened in Los Angeles.
Yes, he finished filming in "Spy", Doug Liman will finish editing and post-production of the entire film after sorting out the material and determining the idea, there are still about five months before the release, Daniel doesn't know if this is enough, but now his big task is the Union Awards, the Golden Globe and the Oscars.
The news of Daniel's return to Los Angeles has undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention.
He did not deliberately hide his itinerary when he returned this time, which of course means that he will be interviewed, and if he can interview Daniel, who is now hot and hot, in the first place, reporters naturally will not mind waiting outside the airport for hours.
Daniel, who had just stepped out of the airport, was surrounded by a crowd of reporters.
His close relationship with the Los Angeles Times is well known, and in fact, Jones's investment has paid off enough that Daniel and Jessica's romance alone has brought the Los Angeles Times more attention.
So, the Times reporter was the first to get the opportunity to ask questions.
If you gossip, don't even think to ask.
"Daniel, congratulations, how is "Spy Heavy" going, and what is your outlook for the Golden Globes and Oscars?"
Daniel seems to be in a good mood, and he can foresee the phrase "Daniel is full of spring" in the media tomorrow.
"Oh, thank you, thank you to the New York Film Critics Association, my role in "Spy" has been completed, and I don't know much about the follow-up work arrangement, I think I will be able to meet you soon.
Well, as for the Golden Globes and Oscars, of course I'm looking forward to their recognition and encouragement, but I can't do it, can I? ”
Daniel pursed his lips and smiled wryly at the end.
"Daniel, there are some photos showing that you have designed a new look for "Spy", can you tell us about it?"
This is the negative effect of the high popularity of the Internet, even when filming in Zurich and Paris, some of Daniel's photos will be pooped online, although due to good confidentiality measures, the photos are mostly taken far away and blurry, but Daniel's new hairstyle can still be vaguely seen.
Daniel gave a "Do you think I'm going to sue you?" look, which made the reporters laugh.
His romance with Jessica is the finale.
In fact, so far, even if the Los Angeles Times has obtained some materials, it has not been expressed through Daniel's official channels, in other words, Daniel has not made an official response to this eye-catching relationship, even if they have been on the street on Thanksgiving.
Therefore, after the reporter of "Entertainment Weekly" asked a question, everyone held their breath a little.
But Daniel had no intention of letting them get their wish, which was something that Triver had told him to do.
"The weather in Greece is very good, you can go on vacation."
Daniel said the last sentence, and Andy began to say "thank you" without stopping, and then quickly walked through the reporters' positions.
“fucccck!” The reporters all shouted in their hearts.
Daniel seemed to be about to open his mouth to say something, while his assistant, the unpleasant girl who was not good-looking, muttered something in the back, and then Daniel popped out a Greek tourist introduction.
"Spy" has a short period of Greek location, and Daniel's sentence is not inexplicable.
"Damn assistant, evil agent."
The reporters packed up their things and complained about Andy.
Of course, this is not a temporary idea, Andy's outstretched hand is just a small bridge they designed, deliberately not responding, it is too blunt, and now Andy is the first to be the bad guy, and Daniel's image is of course protected by the greatest Cheng Dù.
While Daniel's team was gearing up for the work, the news of his return to Los Angeles was also restless, and as an awards season hit, he was a hot topic and a popular man who was certainly welcomed by all the media.
"Daniel returns to Los Angeles to join the trophy harvesting battle"
"Daniel, who has conquered the audience, can he conquer the judges?"
"Daniel smiles when asked about Jessica"
This even lowered the scandal between Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan a little, so much so that Crowe's public relations stepped in to push Crow out of the hot spot.
But this is difficult, when "Gladiator" was just released, Russell Crowe was nominated for the second time, and the call for the best actor was very high, but with his other new work, "Evidence of Life" with Meg Ryan, the uncontrollable scandal was obviously overdone, the scandal was noisy, and the director was a box office failure. The media, who are willing to fall into the ground, even took out his previous bad news and re-hyped it, Crow is known as a "character actor" and "heart killer", and of course there is a lot of black material on the topics of playing big names, bad tempers and female movie stars.
Of course, in addition to the autonomous actions of the media, everyone knows who else is stirring up troubled waters behind the scenes.
Tom Hanks has also been in the news recently, and a large part of the news is to remind the audience that he has won two Oscars in a row, no matter how convincing his acting skills are, this phenomenon is enough to ruin Tom's hope of winning another trophy.
Who's doing it? Russell Crowe and his PR team didn't run anyway.
However, in addition to these news wars that come and go, Crow also has a ** annoyance, the role of the kidnapping negotiator in "Evidence of Life" has aroused the dissatisfaction of a certain criminal group in South America, they claim to kidnap Crow and demand a ransom of 13 million US dollars, which has made him a little frightened recently, and it is even alleged that the FBI is evaluating whether it is necessary to provide him with personal protection.
These messy accidents are enough to make Russell Crowe's road to the actor a lot more obstacles.
In comparison, Daniel is in a much better position, thanks to his efforts to maintain his image, and Trevor's temporary requirement not to increase his chances of winning by discrediting other candidates, so so far, Daniel, who has a high level of media PR ability and popularity, has not been hacked by others.
Daniel's house.
Trevor and Daniel have met for the first time, of course, they have spoken on the phone many times, they are familiar strangers, Trevor is experienced, but he is not very old, he entered the industry early, and his family education has made him a successful person.
"You should move to a bigger house."
"Wait until I make some more money."
If "Legally Blonde" can really win $100 million in North America as he remembers, then Daniel should be able to get almost three million, plus the balance of "Spy", Daniel's financial situation will be completely improved.
"You're in a very good financial situation," Trick said, "you have a good credit history, you don't have any loan history, you have enough cash flow, you don't have any bad habits of spending money - buying yachts, luxury cars, small islands are bad habits." I just think you should try to avoid being considered a stingy person, the thrift of Hollywood stars is another name for stinginess, and sometimes it means that you have no filming, no money to make, coffee spots falling, and popularity withering. ”
"Oh, wait, wait, when did I get stingy? Malibu's detached house isn't shabby, right? ”
"But it's rented, and it's a house with a company discount."
