Chapter 229: Those standing in front of the stage are spicy chickens, and shady scenes and awards can't go hand in hand

Roland Allen called Steven Spielberg to discuss Kate Winslet's rush to the Olympics.

In the previous life, many people have always felt that the Weinstein brothers are the biggest promoters of the Oscars, the two brothers have operated more than 100 Oscar trophies, and won an unknown number of actors, but few people know about it, compared with Steven Spielberg, the achievements of these two brothers are not enough to see at all.

Because the old man is the only guy in history who launched Sanlianzhuang in the post-studio era.

Everyone knows that "Shakespeare in Love" defeated "Saving Private Ryan" as one of the five major tragedies in the history of the Oscars, but the media never mentioned that in the three years after the tragedy, more than a dozen statuettes were swept away by the old man.

In the millennium Oscar, DreamWorks' "American Beauty" won five awards: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Cinematography, not only that, but also three nominations including Best Actress;

In the Oscars of 01 year, "Gladiator" promoted by DreamWorks won five more awards: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Costume Design, Best Sound and Best Visual Effects, in addition to seven nominations including Best Director;

In the Oscars in 02, "A Beautiful Mind" promoted by DreamWorks also won four awards, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, and four nominations including Best Actor were also won by them.

Three years! Three movies! Twenty-eight mentions! Fourteen! 50% win rate!

If this achievement is not terrifying enough, what about the best film, two actors, and two best directors for three consecutive years?

The Weinstein brothers, having played Oscar games for decades, don't dare to think about such a thing!

But the old man did it easily......

If it weren't for DreamWorks' inability to break through the six blockades and choose to cut themselves, no one knows how many Oscars they would have been able to operate!

…………

"So, you came back this time to talk to me about Chong Ao?"

"The point is, this is not for yourself, but for others?"

When Roland called the old man, Spielberg, who had learned of his idea, asked Roland to come to DreamWorks headquarters to find him.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, lying on the railing with both hands, looking at the factory below, the feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance made the old guy squint his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a little obscure emotion, and after staring for a long time, he turned his head, looked at the guy next to him who was almost as tall as himself, and said with a smile, "Are you playing for real?" Already determined? ”

"When I was your age, I hadn't started dating girls."

'You're obviously misogyny, okay?' Roland whispered in his heart.

However, although he knew what the old man's problem was, he couldn't say that.

Becauseβ€”

He didn't want to be beaten.

"She went to my house for Christmas this year."

"Both David and Ganetti have seen her and feel ...... It's ok......"

Roland plucked out his ears, the slightly nervous little movements were cleared by the old man, and under his gaze, the little guy said, "She acted at the age of five, if you have to describe it, it is that she has developed an instinctive dependence on performance, her long-term wish is to win the Oscar one day, and we ...... Everybody knows that, right......"

Although Roland's words were slurred, Spielberg understood.

With his hands folded, he took the initiative to lean over Roland, and at the same time as he pestled him with his elbow, the small eyes under the round-framed lenses also blinked a few times, and even his voice became a little gossipy, "Do you want her to withdraw from the circle now?" ”

"But before the official announcement, I want to help her make her dream come true and leave no regrets?"

"Eh, don't say that ugly, okay? If I heard it to those feminists, my image would be ruined. ”

Roland glared at the old man and said, "You just need to know this matter in your own heart." ”

At this point, he suddenly glanced downstairs again, and after a second, he turned his head to look back and asked arrogantly, "Can this be done?" ”

'Hey! ’

Seeing Roland's contrived demeanor, Spielberg immediately raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Roland......"

"Is this your attitude of begging?"

"I don't care, but ......"

Speaking of this, Spielberg also took the opportunity to look at the factory area downstairs, and when he found that Roland's car was parked in the open space below the building, and a woman in an overcoat was leaning against the car and looking around, a smile also appeared on the old man's face, "Oh, so you came behind her back?" ”

"What do you want to help her dream come true, and she doesn't know about it?"

Seeing that the root of the eagerly asked question had been seen through by the other party, Roland didn't hide it anymore, and reluctantly responded, "Hmm." ”

That's right, Roland really came with Kate on his back.

His remarks to Kate were to discuss with Spielberg about the projects he had previously discussed.

In his opinion, before he got the little golden man, the other party didn't need to know about any arrangements.

If it fails, it will only leave the other party with trouble.

Of course, to put it nicely, when the results are revealed, isn't that a surprise?

The surprise obtained in an instant and the obtained after careful preparation, the former is naturally more moving!

Roland's careful thoughts, how could Spielberg not guess?

If it were someone else, he wouldn't bother to take care of it, but what about his own students......

"It's not a problem to rush to the Olympics." The old man, who had already figured out Roland's fundamental thoughts, did not dwell on boring topics anymore, but directly rubbed his temples and said, "In 1986, Mary Matlin won the Oscar for Best Actress with "The Daughter of Pity God", she was born in 65 years old, and she was only 21 years old at the time. ”

"This is the latest example of winning the Oscar at the age of 20, and at the same time, she is also the youngest actress in the history of the Oscar, so Kate's age is not a problem, you don't have to worry about this, and what I care about is ......"

"Shady scenes and awards must not go hand in hand."

"I want to know your specific plans."

"You know what I mean, right?"

Roland certainly understood what Spielberg meant!

Because there is never a fair thing that people choose.

How to make the public feel that you deserve to win this award, that is the foundation of the operation of winning the award.

To outsiders, the Weinstein brothers are indeed!

But in fact, the cow beep on the bright side is all stupid beep......

Once the identity of the behind-the-scenes promoters comes to the front of the stage, it can only prove that their abilities are limited.

If you can't quietly operate some awards, everything has been stabbed on the table by the media, and you can't even control these public opinion outlets, then in this game, you are doomed to be a loser.

Why?

Because of the awards that accompany the shady public opinion, it is better not to take it!

Because if you take it, it will also damage your own image!

If it is not matched, even if there is a public relations actress, it will be a stench for 10,000 years.

How to get a positive evaluation for such a thing as winning an award is actually the real Oscar PR.

The Weinstein brothers' behavior of only caring about the result and ignoring public opinion harms others and themselves.

Don't say that time can erase everything.

The example of the water queen is still there for more than 20 years!

Because of this, many Olympic projects, in fact, have already selected the target awards from the beginning of the project.

It is true that the beginning of December every year to the end of the Oscars is the Hollywood awards season in the face of the word, but since the beginning of October, the annual public relations campaign for Olympic films has been launched.

And at the moment when the film was determined to be in the Olympics, all the public relations processes had already been planned and written.

The Olympic Games are not at all the months that the audience watches every year, but a long-term battle on a year-by-year basis.

Don't believe it, "Dances with Wolves" and "The Silence of the Lambs" are works released by the same company on a time difference.

Because they firmly believe that both films can be PR for the best picture!

If you rush to the Olympics in two years, you can win two awards, and if you rush to the Olympics in one year, isn't that just beating yourself and getting along with money?

So luck is such a thing, just listen to it.

Moreover, God never favors the unprepared.

Of course, this kind of unfinished film is only for non-technical awards such as Best Picture and Best Screenplay.

Those technical awards such as acting, directing, and editing still have to wait for the finished film to come out.

Because this kind of thing that can be seen intuitively with the eyes, there is no way to judge whether it can win the award only by the quality of the script, as the most subjective visual skill, people have to read it first and determine the plan.

However, there is one exception......

That's the banknote capacity.

Just like Eddie Redmayne, "The Theory of Everything" has not yet started filming, and the outside world is just a little freckle in the water asking Hawking for advice on how to play Hawking's press release - isn't a biographical film just an imitation and reshaping of the biographical character itself?

When others make biographical films, they can only study the data.

And Freckles made a biographical movie, and stayed directly with Hawking to discuss the role face-to-face.

In this case, which judge would dare to say that he did not act well?

Lao Tzu stayed with Hawking for a week, and he slowly tapped the keyboard to tell me that he was the same as in the movie back then, and even the parties agreed to it, what else do you judges have to say?

The ability to make money allows the technical awards to have a PR plan in place before the film is released.

If you want to get to the bottom of it, it is that my family's assets are hundreds of billions!

The living can testify for me, and the dead can speak!

And if not?

That's definitely not enough of your money!

Hollywood may not be called a shady flesh factory, but it is definitely not a paradise that everyone yearns for.

Of course, Roland doesn't have hundreds of billions of assets now, but this does not prevent him from exercising his money ability as well.

After he told Spielberg about the idea of uniting the six to help rush the Olympics, Ben put his hand on the old man on Roland's shoulder, and the whole person froze there, his Adam's apple trembled, and he couldn't hold back a word for more than half a minute.

"You...... You...... You ......"

He was just like Su Daqiang, who was scolded by his second son, and his body kept shaking.

When the old man came back to his senses, there was only helplessness on his face, "Aren't you really playing?" ”

"Spider-Man licensed to Disney at a low price?"

"The Lord of the Rings and "X-Men" are projects that give up to half of the investment amount to the Big Six in exchange for their help?"

"Plus "Titanic" belongs to Fox, and Sony wants to wait for you to make a film, and the six will be done?"

"Roland! That's not how money is spent! ”

The old man thinks Roland is crazy!

Because in his opinion, an Oscar is not worth so much money at all!

Although there is no precedent for the success of fantasy movies in Hollywood, and comic book movies are currently only successful with works with their own fan base like Roland, but - the value of the project is not calculated in this way.

The valuation of all film and television projects, the first to be evaluated, will always be the producer.

The producer is a big name, even if it is out of the door, the valuation will fly to the sky!

Not for anything else, just because of the head effect!

Not only that, but Spielberg remembered another thing.

"Is the reason why your Warcraft Pictures business is not developing because you want to use these resources to help Kate get an Oscar?"

"If that's the case, there's only one thing I want to know now......"

"When are you two getting married?"

"Huh? οΌˆβ†—οΌ‰β€

It's no wonder Spielberg would think so!

You must know that when Roland instigated him to take the equity of Sony's overseas distribution company, that posture was heroic!

'Steven! We're going to do it ourselves! ’

The old-fashioned words made the old man accept this 'little' ally.

And after getting the equity of the overseas issuing company, Roland is also full of energy!

Warcraft Film and Television was the first to be established, followed by the emergence of continuous hits.

"The Wedding Banquet", "Eating Men and Women", "Seven Deadly Sins", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Red Fan Zone", when these movies are released in turn, it really has a bit of meaning to challenge the rules of the world!

But before the old man could pay the highest respect to Roland's strong charge and ideological consciousness of taking the lead, and prepare to completely blow the horn of change with the newly formed DreamWorks to produce a movie......

Eh, Roland's mother suddenly picked up and quit!

Even if he has a lot of money in his hands, he does not invest in other film and television projects, let alone the development of film and television companies.

Not only that, but he also played the game of Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello with the Big Six.

In addition, almost all the previous works of Warcraft Film and Television were bought, and the entire company only had two fixed positions, general manager and finance, so the basin that should have been carried by Roland was instantly deducted by the six major to the old man's dream factory.

They felt that this was the old man letting his apprentice find out about the situation again!

As for Roland's desire to challenge the Big Six?

No kidding, okay!

Their company combined, there are only three people in total, and they challenge the six big farts!

The only independently filmed "Seven Deadly Sins" was pulled by Catherine Kennedy!

In the case that there is no one to ask for people, no venue for the venue, and no equipment for the equipment, Roland even shouts by himself-

'I'm going to rebel!' ’

'I'm going to kill Hollywood!' ’

Then no one believes his big truth!

On the contrary, it is a dream factory that buys land and builds a factory, which is more like the kind of ambitious guy.

If I had to describe Roland's behavior, it would be when DreamWorks was preparing, he wore the clothes of DreamWorks' allies, took off his pants, pouted his white ass and taunted the Big Six, and roared -

'Kind of yours are coming to hit me!' ’

When the six major ones all aimed their guns at him, he ripped off the camouflage on his body, jumped back in an instant, and continued to shout-

'Taijun! It's me! Don't shoot! ’

And then......

DreamWorks, which had been gearing up behind Roland and wanted to give it a go, heard a voice-

'Super Aim has been deployed. ’

In an instant, DreamWorks, which had not done anything, directly became a guest on the six major attention lists!

The point is that Warcraft Pictures, which should be beaten the most, is gone!

To be honest, if Spielberg didn't expect Roland to have the ability to challenge the order with him when he negotiated in '92, he didn't expect Roland to challenge the authority of the Big Six now......

Not only that, but he was not afraid of the observation and monitoring of the Big Six, who wanted to work against the Big Six!

However, when Warcraft Pictures can obviously build brand awareness, Roland suddenly quit, this is a bit strange, right?

At first, Spielberg couldn't figure out what was going on in his student's head.

But now, he can see it!

Because of love!

Nine-figure or even ten-figure business is said to be let go, just to bring a little gold man home for his girlfriend?

he…… tui!

This kind of thing can only be done by a stupid beep?

Spielberg asked himself, if he was a woman, even if he was worth more than 400 million, he would already be married.

A man who sells hundreds of millions of profits just to realize his dreams will not be found in the next life!

Unfortunately, he will never know that the reason why Roland did this is because he never expected to make a lot of money in Hollywood.

No matter how well you mix in Hollywood, you can't become the richest man, not before, and even more so in the future; In this case, after earning working capital, isn't it a matter of course to exchange the resources in your hands for the pleasure in your heart?

It's hard to buy it, I'm willing!

I'm happy!

"Are you happy?"

"But I'm in pain!"

"You're content with the status quo, but I still have to support the whole company!"

After hearing Roland's stinky explanation, Spielberg suddenly raised his hand and twitched Roland's head a few times.

With such a loser's apprentice, he is really fed up!

"So...... I'm going to help you raise the people in the company now! Roland really didn't know what his face was, and when Spielberg panted and slammed down on the couch, he followed with a hippie smile again.

"Steven, I'm going to be idle for a long time to come!"

"If you work on any project, if there is a role suitable for me, I can play it for zero pay!"

Roland's shameless behavior, Spielberg is no longer surprised.

As long as he wants to make a face, it will be impossible for him to climb the relationship with these big guys!

However, it didn't matter if he didn't say it, as soon as he said it, the old man remembered something.

There is still a mess of things over there in "Saving Private Ryan" that I want Roland to help solve, I was worried about the relationship between Roland and Kate, so he didn't mention it, and now - when the two of them can stay where they are and don't need to move, they directly moved the Civil Affairs Bureau over to let the two get married, isn't it natural to mention the matter of the venue?

However, just when the old man pouted, wanting to dry Roland and make this loser wake up, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong.

That's not right!

Roland wanted to ask the six to help Kate rush to the Olympics, but he just said five!

Sony, which has the "Spider-Man" series that can be profitable; Fox, itself the investor and producer of "Titanic"; Disney will most likely agree to the cooperation of Spider-Man in the park; Warner and Universal, you can use the two IPs of "The Lord of the Rings" and "X-Men" to talk, so there is another Paramount that can't be arranged at all!

But now?

"Saving Private Ryan" is a project between DreamWorks and Paramount!

Is it true that you asked me to help Kate rush to the Olympics, and that you will get another Paramount project from me?

I'm your teacher! I've been helping you for seven years! Is that how you trick me?

When he found out about this, Spielberg's face suddenly turned bad.

He really wanted to slap Roland, but when he thought that what Roland did was not for himself at all, he couldn't do it, and after glaring at the hippie-faced guy, he waved his hand and said, "Saving Private Ryan, right?" ”

"I can assign you a role, but ......"

Spielberg said it so bluntly, how could Roland not know that this guy had already guessed his own thoughts?

As for the tone?

It doesn't matter!

"But what?" Roland, who was sitting on the armrest of the sofa, asked with a smile.

Glancing at Roland, Spielberg didn't hide it, "But...... You've got to get Kate to talk about the project......"
