Chapter 115: Phenomenal Figure
Life is like chocolate, you never know what the next one will taste like, and since the release of "Forrest Gump", this line has been spread all over shijie. But I have to admit that there is some truth in this sentence, the biggest fear in life is the unknown, and the biggest temptation in life is also unknown, because I don't know what will happen in the next moment, so people will strive to move forward in fear and expectation.
Winston? Should Groom thank Robert? Zemeckis and Paramount, although they adapted his novel beyond recognition, left behind a classic line that is extremely evocative.
After all, there are indeed many unexpected situations in real life, such as a very young actor who has just entered Hollywood for a year, and then becomes a TV actor from a rookie and then a movie actor. Then, he was favored by an Oscar-winning director, became the leading actor of his work, and had an affair with the Oscar-winning actress as one of the leading actresses.
This is not over yet, after the film is completed, countless media ridiculed, ridiculing the director for actually using a newcomer to play the leading role, and ridiculing the actor for wanting to catch the Oscar. However, when the movie was released, it gave these ridiculers a heavy slap in the face, and the actor shined in it, received countless praises, won countless popularity, and even became the most talked-about actor in Hollywood after the arrival of the millennium because he was only 19 years old.
After the news first broke out, many people didn't believe that the character in the movie was at least twenty-five or six years old, and the feeling he played it was indeed the feeling of twenty-five or six, forbearant and impulsive, sophisticated and unscrupulous, how could it be that a young man who was only 19 years old and started to be an actor could do it?
However, on the subsequent "Tonight Show", the actor confirmed this in person, which immediately caused an uproar, there are not no actors who show acting skills beyond their age in front of the camera, but there are definitely not many, and there are even fewer who perform at the age of 19 at the age of twenty-five or six, so it is no wonder that countless people are surprised and admired by him, and even film critics call him the famous young movie star Ruifan who died in an accident? Phoenix's second.
Therefore, he was called one of the youngest nominees for the Golden Globe Awards, so "The Talented Ripley" went against the tide and finally sat at the top of the North American box office charts over the weekend.
In any case, it's a legend, from a no-nothing newcomer to a dazzling movie star - and a particularly good acting movie star, not an idol actor - in just a year and a half, even Tom? Cruise couldn't do it either.
But it would be a mistake to think that this is the end, just when everyone thought he was eye-catching enough, the Oscar nominations were announced, and his name was prominently on the nomination for Best Actor.
The media was silent for a while, this is an Oscar, not a Golden Globe Award, not a union award, not a film critics association award, it is one of the highest honors in North America and even in the Shijie film industry.
No matter how many European directors belittle the Oscars and Hollywood's film industry system, they can't avoid the fact that with the support of media groups, this Shijie film industry is now dominated by Hollywood. Although the three major European film festivals are huge every time, they can't hide the fact that they are going downhill, maybe in the so-called art, they can still pretend to be posturing, but other aspects have basically been crushed by Hollywood.
Therefore, for an actor, even if he just gets an Oscar nomination, it is a very big honor, let alone an actor who is less than 20 years old
The Oscar for Best Actor is not a precedent for being nominated without being a teenager, and even the youngest nomination record is 9 years old, and the second youngest nomination record is 19 years and 143 days, which is even younger than him.
But the problem is that there are only two of them, so he is now the third youngest in the ranking of the youngest nominees. What's more, the first two cases are decades ago, when the Oscars were first created.
At that time, the rules were not complete, and there were many loopholes to exploit, such as Mary? Bi Kefu invited the judges to his home for dinner, and then directly got the little golden man. Similarly, the jury was bolder and more aggressive, and it was only then that the youngest nominees were recorded.
But with the development of time and the development of Hollywood, the whole system has slowly improved, and seniority has begun to rise, and the nomination for Best Actor at the age of teenagers has never happened again.
Therefore, it is not surprising that when the actor, who has only been acting in movies for a year and a half, appeared on the list of Oscar nominees, it caused a shock. If he won the award for this, he would be the youngest award-winning actor, and there were nominees in their teens, but there were never winners in their teens.
"There is no doubt that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is showing their determination to be younger with practical actions, and I believe that there will be more Sean in the future? Don appeared. Here's how The Hollywood Reporter interprets the list.
However, compared to their praise for the film school, some other newspapers are much more direct, such as the Los Angeles Times, which said that Sean? Although Don's acting skills are excellent, there are even better ones that deserve to be nominated, and the Chicago Tribune believes that the film school is bowing to public opinion and nominating based on popularity.
The big newspapers are like this, the tabloids are even more brazen, and the New York Post simply declares it a PR victory and alarmists that the film school is losing its independence.
However, if someone opposes it, then there must be someone who supports it, everything is always relative, and when it was called Sean? There's a good chance that Don is the second Raven? Phoenix's film critic Melanie? Haas, for his part, said the film school's decision was a wise one.
"Sean is a very good actor, he has done what a lot of people have not done, and he deserves this Oscar nomination." Haas wrote in his column.
And "Variety" magazine also believes that although this nomination is debatable, Sean? Tang is not unqualified, and even gave an example, and a considerable number of the media who think that the film academy's move is inappropriate also recognize his acting skills.
In short, after the list of nominees for the 72nd Oscars came out, various media outlets revolved around Sean? Don began to have a war of words, and for a while, this teenager, who only took a year and a half to become a movie actor, became a movie actor from a rookie, and the actor who played the first movie role to be nominated for an Oscar became the focus of attention again.
The people who should have dominated the headlines, like Sam, the director of "American Beauty," who was also nominated for his first film? Mendes, or Tom who is attacking Oscar again? Cruise, and the little-known Hillary Clinton, who was nominated for Best Actress for an independent film? Swank and so on, all of them made way for him at this moment.
At least for this moment, Sean? Don has become a phenomenon in Hollywood, but he is not the happiest.

Humming a song, Frederick pulled over to his seat, took off his sunglasses, stepped out of the car, and walked out of the parking lot and into the building he was going to. With a smug smile on his face, it seems that he will jump up and dance at any moment.
"Hello, I'm Frederick Endeavour? Rogers, me and Regis? Mr. Johnson has a date. Coming to the outside of the office on the destination floor, he said to the secretary who was sitting there.
"Please wait a minute, Mr. Johnson is still meeting with another lady." The secretary checked the boss's schedule and nodded.
Frederick then sat down on the couch outside his office, and although he pulled a magazine from a nearby shelf and flipped through it, his mind was not on it.
If it wasn't a public place, he might have laughed out loud, in fact he had been going on for days. Understandable, because in just two days, he finally had his own independent office, a large and bright office.
It can't be said that it is all due to Sean, after all, Frederick is not only his client, but Sean's results undoubtedly played a considerable role.
I love you, Sean, discovering you is the most haode deal I've ever made in my life, let's create more miracles. Just as the agent was thinking excitedly, the office door opened, and then, he froze and his eyes widened.
"Xiexie you, Mr. Johnson, this is a pleasant meeting." Anna? Gordon shook hands with the middle-aged man who looked almost fifty at the door.
"It's a pleasure to discuss things with you, Ms. Gordon." Smile at the other side.
"Then I'll take my leave." As she spoke, Anna walked out, and glanced at Frederick as she passed him, as if her eyes were a little defiant.
Will she weishenme appear here? It was only then that Frederick reacted. At the same time, a bad feeling arose in his heart, so he got up and walked forward without waiting for the middle-aged man at the door to go back: "Mr. Johnson, I'm Frederick, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Hmm...... Ah, Fred, I'm glad to meet you too. The other party was stunned for a moment, and then his face became slightly embarrassed, as if he had thought of something. But after a few seconds, he became normal, glanced at Anna, who had already walked away, and then made a gesture of please: "Come in." ”
After the two entered the office and sat separately, Johnson preemptively opened his mouth before Frederick could speak: "I'm sorry, Fred, I'm afraid that our previous conversation about haode will be invalid." ”
"Void?" The agent looked at him in astonishment, but there was not much surprise, and he was mentally equipped when he saw Anna.
Rao was like this, he still cursed in his heart, and clenched the hand under the desk into a fist.
"Can I know Weishenme?" Frederick asked in as calm a tone as he could.
"I don't deny that Sean has a very good image, healthy, positive, and at the same time mature, and his fame has even exceeded expectations," Johnson said immediately, "but there's one problem, he's too controversial right now......"
