"Academic awards?"

Throwing the black towel to an assistant, Duke looked at Sophia with interest, "Let me guess!" Tom returned to Los Angeles the day before yesterday, and if you count the time, the Oscar nominees luncheon should have been held, so "Independence Day" was nominated for an Oscar? Best Director? Or Best Picture? Or the best screenplay? ”

"Do you think that's possible?"

The monotonous nasal voice was full of mockery, """Independence Day" has not held a viewing party, has not held a canvassing party, has not promoted the awards, and has a professional rating of only three points, do you think it may win the favor of the Oscars?" ”

"Impossible." Duke could only shake his head.

"But there's good news." Sofia laughed, "'Independence Day' was nominated for Best Visual Effects. ”

Duke pursed his lips absently, "It's the same as nothing." ”

The possibility of "Independence Day" winning this award is infinite, after all, in terms of visual effects alone, it can beat all the films of last year, but this award will only be awarded to special effects producer Zuò Fang Industrial Light and Magic.

"If you want to take the little golden man." Sophia tilted her head to look at him, "Duke, you must turn to realism." ”

"For the sake of the Oscar statuette, make me not look like me?" Duke shook his head directly, "I won't do that, even if I want to take the little golden man in the future, I won't make a movie that meets the taste of those old leaders, my favorite is still non-realistic themes." ”

"Then you'll be a regular for another award." Sophia smiled teasingly, "Congratulations, Duke, not only have you received the most nominations for another award, but you are also the number one favorite to win. ”

"What award?" Duke had a bad premonition.

"Golden sour plum...... It announced the nominees ahead of the Oscar nominees' luncheon. ”

Probably because there were too many nominations, Sophia had to dig through her work diary. Looking at the specific nominations previously noted, "'Independence Day' was nominated for seven of the ten Golden Sour Plum awards, the number one favorite for the worst film, and you got the worst director nomination, Bill? Pullman's worst actor, Will? Smith's worst supporting actor. Harry? Berry's worst supporting actress, the script is the worst script, and Skywalker's sound effects get the worst soundtrack......"

After speaking, Sophia looked at Duke seriously, as if she wanted to see his reaction to sadness, pain or anger, but Duke still looked like he was just now, and he didn't seem to pay attention at all, and with Sophia's understanding of him, Duke in this situation. It's really not taken to heart.

"You really don't care?" She asked anyway.

"Why care?" Duke spread his hands, "I like the movies I make myself, and most of the audience also likes them, so why care about the voices of a few people?" ”

"This is a golden sour plum!"

Hearing Sophia's words, Duke walked over and patted her on the shoulder, he knew that the golden sour plum was Sophia's biggest pain, and those film critics had humiliated her with the worst supporting actress back then.

"Film critic-led awards are nothing more than hooliganism."

Throw down a sentence casually. Duke walked to the set while asking his assistant to notify the departments to prepare to start filming.

Meanwhile. A large conference room at a hotel in Manhattan gathered many well-known film critics in the New York State area, a meeting of the New York Film Critics Association, and also to statistically discuss the final attribution of the New York Film Critics Association Award.

The New York Film Critics Association, the world's oldest and largest local film critics association, has been awarding the New York Film Critics Association Awards since 1935. It is one of the three major film critics association awards in the United States and an important bellwether for the Oscars.

The Film Critics Association Award is also one of the means for professional film critics to influence the major academic awards during the awards season.

As the meeting drew to a close, the vote count was over, and the New Yorker's film critic David ? Denby suddenly stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen. One more thing. His voice was loud, "It has nothing to do with our awards, but other aspects, I don't know if you have seen the list of nominees announced by the Golden Raspberry Award?" ”

A lot of people are nodding.

"Last year, there was a film and a director, Yan zhòng touched the entire film critic industry." David? Denby's eyes were full of Liman, "I have to admit that we lost with Duke?" Rosenberg's battle for the market! But now! During awards season! In this season that belongs to us! We must fight back! ”

"David is right!"

A?O. Scott, chief film critic of The New York Times, said slowly, "Even if "Independence Day" gets close to $360 million at the North American box office, even if it has more than 90 million views in North America, even if the global box office is close to $900 million, and even if the audience has 84% praise, it still can't change whether it's a bad movie, Duke? The fact that Rosenberg was the worst director of the last year! ”

"We're going to put Duke? Rosenberg and Independence Day nailed to the pillar of shame! ”

The person who spoke was Lou from the New York Post? Ramnick, "The Golden Raspberry Award is the best reward for him!" ”

"...... in the last few years"

The conversation is back to David? "The actors and directors who have won the Golden Sour Plum Award have become the targets of spurning by North American audiences, and almost no one has been able to turn over, and I have contacted the Chicago Film Critics Association and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, and they will all push Duke? Rosenberg was awarded. ”

"Also, it's said that he's working on a new movie......" someone reminded.

"Everyone will know what to do then, right?"

After this sentence, many people laughed.

Time slowly entered late January, after seven months of long-term screening, "Independence Day" withdrew from North American theaters, and the final North American box office stopped at $362.55 million, although there are still two "Star Wars" and Spielberg's "Jaws" and "ET Aliens", but if you don't count the re-release results, "Independence Day" can be said to be the first box office result in North American film history.

Of course, this is just a self-consolation as measuring the box office charts by inflation, and the re-release shows that the film has enough commercial value, like "The Shawshank Redemption," which has just been nominated for nine Oscars. If you log in to the theater again, you will inevitably continue to hit the streets.

At the global box office, "Independence Day" has earned $895.21 million and is on track to become the second film ever to break $900 million.

However, contrary to the film's outstanding commercial success, "Independence Day" and Duke are still attacked by countless critics. Many well-known filmmakers sneered at the seven Golden Raspberry Award nominations for the film, and even the famous film critic Roger? Albert directly classified "Independence Day" as the most unworthy film of all time, and Duke was the most disappointing director last year.

The film's professional reputation was completely unsaved, perhaps stimulated by the super high box office, the professional score of "Independence Day" slipped below 3 points, with a professional score of 2.95 points, 84% of the audience's praise and super high box office results, creating a great wonder in film history.

"Any director, no matter how successful he is, is commercially successful. If he is not recognized by professional awards, he will be a craftsman at best, and he will never become a master, and if he wins an award like Jin Sumei, it means that his directorial career has begun to decline and is even about to come to an end! ”

- Chicago Sun-Press Roger? Albert

Traditionally, the Golden Raspberry Award will not be awarded until the day before the Oscars, which is still early, but critics can't wait to put the shoddy award on Duke's head.

Duke didn't bother to pay attention to these people. "Independence Day" has been removed from North America, and the new movie is far from the time to really promote it. Spraying with film critics doesn't bring substantial benefits, and he is busy shooting, so he doesn't have the time and energy to continue to fight with these guys.

Besides, even he has to admit that film critics have a huge influence during awards season.

With the Oscar nominees luncheon over, Tom? Hanks is back on set. It took another week for Duke to shoot the scene of the ending battle, and according to what he learned, it wasn't until he finished filming this part of the scene that "Braveheart" next door ended his vacation - Mel? Gibson was very reluctant to give the crew a holiday - to restart filming the few finishing scenes.

As for Sean, who suffered a blow to his leg? Connelly. It is said that he was transferred to a hospital in London, and it has been confirmed that he has a comminuted fracture of the lower leg bone in his right leg, and given his age, if he wants to walk normally, he will have to wait.

In addition to the hectic shoot, Duke had to post-process some of the finished footage, and with the Super Bowl just around the corner, he had to cut out a commercial short that was attractive enough for the producer and distributor to run during the intermission.

Editor Mike? Dawson was also summoned from Los Angeles to Dublin, and after each day's shooting, Duke and he would go into a rented post-production studio and continue to work overtime.

"Mike, the Super Bowl as a whole is fanatical, and our ads need to stay that way."

The 30-second ad is not short, but it is not long, and Duke must think about how to attract the audience, "Don't think about the narrative, don't think about the theme of the film, don't think about the humanistic care, I just want the most intense, hot, and brutal war scenes!" ”

This is the fourth film to work together, Mike? Dawson, of course, understood Duke's thoughts, and led his assistant to start busy according to Duke's request.

On the other side, Charles? Rowan walked over and asked in a low voice, "The senior management of the three companies asked me to ask you about the time when the film will be completed, as well as the time when the film will be released." ”

"May! By the beginning of May at the latest, I will be able to complete all the systems! ”

Filming is already in the final stage, and the overall progress of the work is going well, and Duke is also confident, "I built yì The film premiered the weekend before Memorial Day!" ”

"I'll give you your feedback." Charles? Rowan walked out of the studio.

After a busy few days of overtime, the commercial was completed on time, and Duke will not return to North America for Super Bowl Day, but will lead the main cast and crew to London before Super Bowl Day to prepare for Victoria's Secret's first annual catwalk! (To be continued......)
