Chapter 464: A Little Storm

"I'll admit that Brokeback Mountain is an excellent work, and I didn't deny it, did I? I just want to say that no matter how good it was, it lost to Crash from the start, and it was basically expected that the latter won Best Film. "In a corner of the studio, raunchy Tim? Burton was arguing loudly with the people, and in order to strengthen his tone, he kept gesturing and tidying up.

It's been a week since the Oscars ended on March 5, but there is still a lot of debate about what happened at the Oscars, one of which is who deserves the best picture in "Brokeback Mountain" or "Crash". There is no doubt that "Brokeback Mountain" is more popular, you must know that after entering the 21st century, gay groups are becoming more and more active in the name of anti-discrimination, and non-discrimination against homosexuality has become as politically correct as non-discrimination against blacks and women.

And as a politically correct one, film schools must also consider this, so Ang Lee won the best director, and Hoffman, who also played a homosexual, won the best actor. However, just when most people thought that the best film would also be taken away by "Brokeback Mountain", it was unexpectedly awarded to the independent film "Crash".

Naturally, the next day various media began to lash out, thinking that the film school was sharing the cake, and that "Brokeback Mountain" was completely worthy of a little golden man. They shouted very enthusiastically, and although it was a must-have project every year, it was especially enthusiastic this year, and it shows little sign of subsiding until now, as the crew of "Sweeney Todd" in London is talking about.

"Quite simply, 'Crash' tells the story of Los Angeles, where several threads intersect and influence each other, and the characters in the story are constantly flipping and flipping. The cop who looked like a bad guy was actually a loyal and principled cop, but he had to compromise with his power, and the cop who felt that he should not discriminate against blacks shot and killed a black man who asked for a ride, and the policeman who ****** to a black woman saved her life the next day. Burton continued, "The conflict kept happening, and eventually it became the story we saw. ”

"So?" Someone answered and made a few meaningless gestures.

"It's a story that happens in Los Angeles, a story that happens around us, a story that happens everywhere, anywhere, and most of the judges at the college live in Los Angeles." Burton raised his hands, "That's why they chose Crash." ”

"And what about you, Tim, what do you think?" Someone asked again, is it Allen? Rickman.

"I don't care," Burton shrugged, "whether it's 'Brokeback Mountain' or 'Crash', it's an excellent movie, and whoever wins the Golden Man is fine, anyway, I don't expect to get a Golden Man in the future." ”

As soon as these half-self-deprecating words came out, the people chatting around immediately laughed, you must know that before Burton's debut, he only had an Oscar nomination this year, or a nomination for Best Animation, as for the nomination for Best Director, it was basically a dream thing, no wonder he was so self-deprecating.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about our lucky Sean." Burton laughed.

Sean, who was sitting next to him and had been silent, and his eyes were a little wandering, were suddenly stunned, and then shouted: "Hey, what's the matter with me!" ”

"Don't be nervous, we just wanted to ask if you're really talking to ......," Burton said, looking at the crowd.

"Reese? Witherspoon. Someone shouted.

"yes, is it really with Reese? Ms. Witherspoon is dating. Burton snapped his fingers at once, and smiled evilly, he was already a little unkempt, and when he made such a look, he became a little obscene.

"I've already told the media, and made it clear, I don't have anything to do with Witherspoon, I just want to go over and congratulate myself after meeting at a party, that's all." Sean rolled his eyes.

"You said it, to the media," Burton still grinned, "we want to tell you the truth, after all, your records are there." ”

Suddenly, the people around him showed **** smiles, and their eyes became extremely curious when they looked at Sean.

"I don't know when you've gossiped so much," Sean leaned back and frowned, "You're not a gentleman at all." ”

Although he was answering Burton, when he said the last sentence, it was Rickman who was facing him, and he didn't need to say much about his intentions. It's a pity that Rickman, who has always had a serious expression, didn't make a sound, although he coughed dryly and touched his nose, but only turned his face halfway, as if he didn't see him.

Sean couldn't help but feel like vomiting blood, this seemingly serious and unsmiling old man - Rickman turned 60 in February - could have such a face again, it was really hateful!

"Everybody loves gossip, Sean," Burton said, waving his hand, "So, don't hide it, tell everybody." ”

The appearance of "you just obediently explain" is really unpleasant, Sean thought maliciously, he was so interested, should he want to prepare for his wife to win the award.

Although he turned such thoughts, on the surface he still stretched out his hands helplessly: "I have already said, I have nothing to do with Witherspoon. ”

It's just **** once, but it's been done for a long time, as for making you so curious? Well, it's all to blame on those annoying media that actually planted her divorce on his head.

"I'm curious, Tim," it wasn't Sean's way to do anything about it, so he immediately asked, "What are you asking Witherspoon so tirelessly?" Don't you worry, what will your wife think if she knows what she thinks? ”

Burton was "aggressive" to this, and Sean was not polite to him, as soon as these words came out, several people around him immediately turned their eyes to Burton with "oh oh".

Suddenly being looked at like this, Sean will feel uncomfortable, not to mention Burton, unfortunately, someone will relieve him.

"I don't think I'll have any ideas," Helena said in a languid voice, "but you, Sean, tell me about it, we're not going to say it." ”

She walked over, although she hadn't written her makeup removal yet, she was still dressed as a gothic, but she didn't feel incongruous at all when she leaned on her husband's affectionate appearance.

I hate this the most! Sean rolled his eyes visibly, then simply stood up.

"I've clarified this many times, but you obviously have your own judgment, so what am I talking about?" He spread his hands again, "To be honest, instead of having time to discuss this, let's start work quickly, and we can seal the lens with a dozen or so shots." ”

He had to go back like this, if he really talked about it, God knows what kind of associations they would have, even if the crew of "Barber Todd", who was still popular, was interrogated like this, you can imagine how it was circulated outside.

"The marriage of the new actress is crumbling, and it is suspected that a playboy is involved", "The actress's curse appears again, Reese? Witherspoon's new love exposed" This kind of relatively subtle reports abound, such as Sean has long hooked up with Reese, and even Reese's divorce was instigated by him, and other gossip is circulating everywhere like a virus.

As Burton said, everybody loves gossip, and bad things always spread faster and farther than good things. What makes Sean unspeakable the most is that some guys hint that he has destroyed Reese's family, and on the other hand, they take out the fact that Reese and his wife have long separated, very cleverly turning the rumors of his destruction of the family into facts, and then smearing the image that he easily established last year.

If he had known that Lu Dao would be like this, Sean would definitely not have met Reese at the party, and he would have had a chance to test the future, and he didn't know which big mouth had come out of Lu Dao, or the reporter of "Vanity Fair" itself poked out of Lu Dao. It's their party after all, and every year Vanity Fair has a corresponding report and photos, so there must be reporters in the crowd.

Although after this news came out, Sean clarified it as soon as possible, and the public relations team quickly operated, but who made his previous "Lucky Sean" too big, this news is equivalent to further proving the rumor that "and Sean **** can get the best actress". Although it is very nonsensical, ordinary people like to watch this, so the PR team is not very effective for a while.

Fortunately, he had previously invested in a website that mainly reported on gossip, and because he was willing to invest, and the other shareholder was also very good at operation, he had accumulated some reputation and fame in a few months. So the website reported on Reese's previous family conflicts, including her family counseling counseling in 02, etc., anyway, as long as you can shift the topic away from yourself, you can do anything you can.

This set is really useful, the gossip on the TMZ website is all asked by Sean to inquire, which ensures a certain degree of authenticity, and the editors of the website are also very good at making gimmicks, but it has attracted a lot of attention. However, TMZ's current fame is still too small, and although it has caused a storm, it has not reached the point of completely diverting attention.

But Sanders quickly came up with an idea for him, that is, to apply this set to other media, Sean has been in Hollywood for five or six years, and his connections are not as good as those of Clooney, but he has accumulated a lot, and it is steadily expanding. Therefore, it is completely okay to find those well-connected media to help, at most it will cost some money, and for him now, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem.

After that, I didn't say much, with the full cooperation of the public relations team to divert attention - at this time, I didn't care about the relationship with Reese, how to make their marriage sensational, and how to direct the media to report. In addition, he is targeted by tabloids, and the big newspapers are basically quite reserved, after all, Sean is now the richest man in Hollywood, and they know very well what level is appropriate. Then soon after the awards ceremony, Sean went back to London with Burton and them to continue to make movies in a low-key manner, and he is basically under control at present, so even if he was ridiculed by Burton, he was not very angry.
