The last chapter overturned, and I'm trying to figure out a way.

"You bastard!"

Charlize bit Charlotte viciously on the shoulder, causing the man to let out a muffled grunt.

Of course, in their dream world, they won't really get hurt.

Just like the girl's previous fainting, it was not because of exhaustion, but purely because the pleasure she endured exceeded the upper limit of consciousness, and she instinctively entered a state of distraction.

"How did you come up with this bad idea?"

Charlize's face was still flushed, and although her tone was vicious, Charlotte knew very well that she wasn't really angry.

- It might be more accurate to say I'm sorry!

However, Charlotte, who got cheap, was not ready to continue to sell well, he shrugged his shoulders,

After all, it's a rare good thing to get Otie, so of course you have to celebrate!"

"It's okay to celebrate, but it's ......"

Charlotte's eyes turned white, and Charlize's face turned even redder.

As they chatted, the nominations for the 68th Academy Awards in 1996 were announced, and Charlize and Charlotte were both on the list.

- Whether as an actress in her early twenties or a director in her early thirties, this is a rare achievement, and it is also the reason why the two "celebrate".

And the entire crew of "Guillotine Valley", they are not the only two who have been nominated.

Although the box office list is a hit, it is a consistent rule for the Oscars to hit the streets, and as the annual box office champion in North America in 1995, "Guillotine Valley" may not be able to escape this rule.

But at least in terms of nominations, Mr. Oscar's prejudice is not so serious -

Charlotte Booth, nominated for Best Director;

The "Guillotine Valley" film itself, nominated for Best Picture;

Johnny Depp, nominated for Best Actor;

Charlize Theron, nominated for Best Actress;

Addison Young, nominated for Best Cinematography;

Rick Hainriches, nominated for Best Art Direction;

Colleen Atwood, nominated for Best Costume Design;

"With a total of seven nominations, it can even be said that the film with the most nominations at this year's Oscars. ”

After the "exchange" ended, Charlotte and Charlize began to communicate.

Although in the dream world, strenuous exercise does not actually consume much physical strength, but in order to match the atmosphere, Charlotte still uses mana and switches scenes.

- After all, the thrill over the Brooklyn Bridge is exciting, but hanging in mid-air and chatting is another matter.

In contrast, soaking in the hot springs and getting a warm wash while looking at the beautiful snow outside is undoubtedly a real enjoyment.

At least, Charlize, who was now sinking his mouth below the surface of the water and spitting bubbles, clearly thought so.

"How many awards do you think we can actually win?"

The girl, who had never been in the hot springs, played for a while before her head was exposed from the water and asked curiously.

"Well...... this"

Charlotte groaned for a moment,

"The four most important awards for Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor and Actress are basically impossible, but the technical awards are a bit hopeful!"

"That's ......"

Charlize pursed his lips.

Although there was no such thing as an immediacy of hope, a hint of disappointment flashed on the girl's face when she heard Charlotte say this.

How many people in Hollywood will not aspire to the Oscars?

"Is it because we're too young?"

Charlize asked.

"Sort of!"

Charlotte nodded,

"In fact, "Guillotine Valley", a relatively commercial and box office hit, is not a genre favored by the Oscars, and we can have seven nominations this time, all of which are the result of public relations. ”

"Paramount?"

"Yes. Also, as the first producer of the movie, Jodie Foster also mobilized a lot of his own network of support. ”

Seeing that as soon as she mentioned Miss Actress, the girl frowned, and Charlotte stopped asking for trouble.

"With the quality and reputation of "Guillotine Valley", with the help of public relations, it is not difficult to get a few nominations, but winning awards is another matter. ”

As she spoke, Charlotte folded her fingers and listed them one by one,

"In terms of best director, my qualifications are relatively shallow, and "Guillotine Valley" is a more discriminated horror film genre, and it is very difficult to win awards. ”

"Isn't it the same for Best Picture?"

"Almost!"

Charlotte spread her hands,

"Besides, Sally, how many North American box office champions have you seen win the Best Picture award?"

"This-"

Charlize tilted his head and thought for a moment,

"Isn't Forrest Gump counted? It was the North American box office number one in 1994, right?"

“...... Well, I forgot about that perverted movie!"

Charlotte covered her forehead a little weakly,

"But that movie is a perfect combination of subject matter, story, political correctness, acting and commercial elements!

In fact, even "Titanic", which later created a miracle of commercial films at the Oscars, is not as good as "Forrest Gump" in terms of the balance between business and art.

The success of "Titanic" is more a victory of director James Cameron's will and ability, and a victory of the Hollywood film special effects industry.

But in other ways, the big ship is actually a beautiful fairy tale. Although it is equally touching, it is a bit extreme compared to the perfectly balanced "Forrest Gump".

It's just that the astonishing box office of $1.8 billion worldwide, as well as the fame that has spread to almost every corner of the world, completely overwhelmed the prejudices of the old men of the Academy of Film Science and Arts, which gave rise to the miracle of "Titanic" at the 1998 Oscars.

However, it was only the beginning of 1996.

"At least, with the box office of "Guillotine Valley" in North America only more than 200 million US dollars, it is still difficult to make the old men of the Oscar jury completely surrender. ”

Charlotte concluded.

This summary made Charlize a little speechless,

Charlotte, do you know what your statement will be for most directors and producers to know?

"Despise me, get cheap and sell well!"

Charlotte smiled,

"But that's the case! For Oscar to want commercial films to surrender, this box office is not enough!"

"And how much do you think is enough?"

"How can you get 16 to 1.8 billion in the world!"

“...... Let's talk about the rest of the awards!"

Charlize, who is not a time-traveler and has never seen the box office miracle of "Titanic", can't imagine what the global box office of $1.8 billion is.

The girl waved her hand weakly, trying to change the subject.

She didn't know that it was only a little more than a year before the "Black Ship Sails" at the end of 1997.
