The Oscars from January to February or March are awards season in North America, and many awards are presented at this time. The main ones are several film critics association awards, several union awards, and the Golden Globe Award from the Press Guild, and then the Oscars, which are attracting worldwide attention.

The Oscars are always reserved for the last award, and the Golden Globes are generally in late January, and these two have hardly changed, while the others, although there is a general time, but the specific needs to be determined by the situation.

However, no matter how you adjust, these awards will be awarded in two to three months, and guessing who will win, or who will win all the way to the Oscars, has become a great pleasure for people, and these awards are called sentinel battles.

For those who are interested in competing for the Oscars, winning these awards can increase their visibility and warm up for the Oscars, as well as a chance for better public relations, as some of the judges for these awards are also members of the Film Academy.

But this is also a technical job, and it would be terrible if a judge felt that since he had already won a certain Critics Guild Award or a certain union award for you, he didn't owe you anything, so he voted for someone else when he chose the Oscars.

What's more, the film school is also trying to find a way, careful, not too similar to some awards, there was a situation a few years ago, the Oscars and the Golden Globes completely overlapped, so Sean needs his own team to plan carefully.

"We haven't had a massive, aggressive PR campaign in the last few years, and that's somewhat detrimental to us." Sanders said at this time, "Some people will think that it is a bit utilitarian to start doing this now, so we will just talk about it for two years." ”

"What you're saying is a problem, but you can look at it from another angle." Frederick said unhurriedly, "We can show a humble gesture that Sean didn't do PR before because he knew he wasn't qualified enough to fight too much." ”

"It can be there, but it's not easy to convince them." Sanders said after a moment's thought.

"I don't think much that Sean's four Oscar nominations have proven that he has what it takes to win awards, especially since two of them were nominated by colleagues last year, and we can figure out how to do that," Frederick reinforced, gesturing, "They like it, and I can guarantee it, as long as we have enough improvisation." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Sean with a look of obvious excitement, hoping that he would make a decision.

It's no wonder that as an agent, who doesn't want their client to be an actor or actress? And Frederick is only one step away from Endeavor after so many years, if Sean can win the award, it is very easy to take this step, and naturally hopes that Sean can successfully reach the top more than anyone else.

"Okay, let's do it." Sean pondered for a moment, and quickly made a decision, "What do you need me to do, just ask." ”

"In that case, you'll have to go from party to party for the whole of January, or even half of February, Sean." Sanders reminded.

"It's okay, since I've made a choice, I'm going to work hard," Sean clenched his fists, "But you have to come up with a plan first, David's side won't be able to seal the mirror until mid-January at the earliest, and I need to discuss it with him." ”

"Do you still have a lot of footage to shoot right now?" Frederick asked.

"It's not a lot," Sean shook his head, "it's all some shots from the ship, and you know, according to the script, Benjamin didn't get off the ship until after World War II, and he was involved in rescuing soldiers who fell overboard after a naval battle, which was a bit of a hassle to film." ”

"Okay, I'll be with David? Finch went to communicate. Frederick nodded.

After a few more details, the matter was over for the time being, and then Sean turned to Vladimir again: "Tell me about you, Todd, what's going on?" ”

"Don't you know?" Vladimir was a little surprised, and then showed a wry smile, "The loss caused us by the screenwriters' strike is not small. ”

"Writers' strike?" Sean paused, and then thought, "It's terrible, what are the specific losses?" ”

Back in early November, the Writers Guild began its first strike, which led to the shutdown of the talk show and the announcement of the shutdown of the season of "24 Hours". However, the scale was not very large at that time, so although some programs were involved, the basic order was still maintained.

However, in late November, on the eve of Thanksgiving, the situation began to spread, and "Angels and Demons", the sequel to "Leonardo da Vinci's Code", which was released last year to great acclaim and controversy, announced that filming was postponed, becoming the first film to be affected.

Originally, in the middle, the screenwriters' union said that it could negotiate, but the producers alliance put up a shelf and said that it wanted to negotiate? Let's get started! This attitude naturally angered the screenwriters who had already decided to make a big move, so the writers' union began to launch a larger strike.

In December, the Producers' Union was pressured to start negotiations with the Writers Guild again, but their attitude did not change, so the negotiations broke down on the same day.

Since then, the Writers' Guild has launched more and bigger strikes, countless films and television in production have stopped, and the damage is incalculable, if "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is not almost finished, and those scenes are basically in Fincher's head, it will definitely be affected.

In short, during this time, all major Hollywood production companies are having a hard time, and Reincarnation Pictures, which officially stands at the top of the second-tier production companies with "Twilight" and "Iron Man", must also be unhappy.

"It's basically stopped, the movies and TV series in production are stopped," Vladimir sighed, "and everything else is fine, 'Super Heroes' is terrible, you know, they recruited a team of writers when they were making it, and each of the main characters had one or two writers dedicated to characterizing. Therefore, unless the strike subsides quickly, and then the screenwriters come back, the reputation of this series may be ruined. ”

"What about the others?" Sean frowned.

"It's all stopped, whether it's "Twilight-Crescent" in preparation, or "The Hangover", which you fancy that has already begun, it's all stopped, no exceptions." Vladimir spread his hands.

"What do you want me to do?" Sean groaned, then asked, and then continued without waiting for an answer: "You know, I am best known as an actor now, and the Screen Actors Guild has announced its support for the Writers Guild strike, and many actors have also issued statements in support of the strike, so it is impossible for me to stand up and call for anything, not to mention that I have to carry out low-profile public relations actions." ”

Met George before Christmas? Clooney, the guy reminded us that we should do what we need to do. At that time, Sean didn't understand what he was talking about, and now he discussed it with Vladimir, and immediately reacted.

However, it is impossible for him to be on the side of the Producers Alliance, although he is actually the chairman of Shangsamsara Pictures, but his main identity to the outside world is still an actor. Unless Sean plans to become a producer instead of an actor in the future, he will inevitably stand on the actor's side, and may even have to make a public statement.

In this case, the loss of reincarnation may be even greater, unfortunately, there is no solution to this, thinking back to Clooney's stance, it is obvious that he intends to stand up in solidarity with the writers' strike, but he also has actors from his own production company. Although his production company and Sean Reincarnation Pictures are two different things, and the two cannot be compared at all, the public doesn't think so, so ...... It's no wonder that Clooney said that to him with a vague look of schadenfreude.

"I know, I know ......" Vladimir sighed with a wry smile, obviously knowing Sean's predicament, so he didn't mention it again, but moved on to something else, "Someone within the company suggested reaching an agreement with the screenwriter as soon as possible. ”

Sean frowned suddenly, then stretched out and asked, "James?" Leslie brought it up? ”

"Yes." Vladimir smiled, glad Sean understood what he meant.

James? Leslie is one of the executive directors, and he is usually very active in the company, and he can be seen in many things, and he always hopes to play a greater role. You don't have to think about what this means, so you don't have to guess what this proposal means.

"What do you think?" Sean immediately asked.

"As long as an agreement is reached, there is no doubt about it, not only are we losing, but the big studios are also losing, but we must not be the first to reach an agreement." "I have a hunch that this strike will last another month," Vladimir said. ”

"So be it." Sean expressed his support without even thinking about it, and they have been working together for several years, and this trust is the most basic.

After a few more remarks about the strike, Sean summoned Sanders and Frederick to take the strike into account, and after exchanging views, he went back to his bedroom to rest.

"It's all here, I can take a vacation now...... Yes! As soon as she collapsed on the bed, Emma came over, and before she could finish speaking, she was pulled into Sean's arms.

"You've just taken a vacation." He took her in his arms and said this.

"Sorry, I think you probably forgot, there's also a holiday called New Year's!" Emma rolled her eyes and said, "Hell, it's the first time I've met someone who separates the Christmas and New Year holidays. ”

"Because I don't know what I'm going to do without you." Sean hugged her and whispered, "Now let me hold her for a while, okay?" ”

"Am I your doll?" Emma rolled her eyes again and struggled to get up.

Sean naturally wouldn't let her get her wish, and immediately pressed her back on the bed, and then pressed against her body and kissed her bitterly. Emma whimpered and struggled with little strength until Sean's hands began to knead his waist, then he suddenly opened his eyes, then pushed him away, jumped up and slipped out, of course, not forgetting to give Sean a middle finger when he went out.

Haha, Sean lay back at random, his face was full of pleasant aftertaste, but as time passed, these slowly disappeared, slowly turned into gloomy, and finally, he sighed heavily.
