The Toronto Film Critics Circle Awards have always been touted by media people as a preview of the Oscars, but in fact there are not many awards ceremonies with the same slogan.

The New York Film Critics Association, the National Board of Review Awards, the Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and the Golden Globe Awards are all known as the "Oscar vane".

The main reason is that the judges of the major film critics associations awards overlap, and there is not much difference in the taste selection of the award-winning films, and some awards will specifically bet on the Oscars, deliberately referring to the selection conditions of the Oscars to give their own answers.

Just like the top high school that bets on the question type of the college entrance examination every year, the success rate is not 100 percent, but 50 percent or 60 percent of the probability can still be achieved.

Of course, the awards of major associations are generally actors, screenwriters, directors and other professional awards, and when it comes to the best film, the winning rate is relatively low.

However, due to the high rate of the Toronto Film Critics Association in recent years, it is very popular with media people, and when the awards are announced, they immediately occupy most of the pages in Hollywood newspapers.

"Toronto Film Critics Association, Best Picture for Chicago! Best Actress goes to Renee Ziegway! ”

"Chicago" has a box office of over 100 million, and at the same time I am happy to mention three awards: Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Cinematography!"

"Chicago has been critically acclaimed, award-winning, and the curse of the former photographer has failed!"

Tang De focused on the third report, which read: "Recently, the Toronto Film Critics Association Awards, known as the 'Oscar outpost', were announced, and "Chicago" unexpectedly won three awards: Best Picture, Best Cinematography, and Best Actress. Not only that, but this film also won the Best Actress Award and Best Supporting Actress Award at many association awards such as the New York Film Critics Association and the Radio Film Critics Association for the outstanding performances of Renee Ziegway and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

"There is no doubt that this breaks the lies of the former photographer Dieng. It also confirms what director Rob Marshall said. In fact, with the blessing of so many awards, "Chicago" is only one step away from winning the Oscar, let's look forward to the Golden Globe Awards in mid-January to see where "Chicago" goes! ”

"Mid-January." Donde raised his eyebrows, the Golden Globe Awards have changed the time of awards since 2003, and before that, they were all presented a few days before the Oscar vote. It seems that now with the increasing influence, the Golden Globes are starting to try to compete with the Oscars.

In addition, although the newspapers say so, it is clear to the discerning that "Chicago" will inevitably win multiple awards at the Golden Globes, because the Golden Globes have special awards for the musical comedy genre, and this year only "Chicago" is the only song and dance film that shines.

Even if the judges were blind, just listening to the music of "Chicago" would not have given this award to other films.

So basically the Golden Globe Awards are equal to no suspense, and the only suspense is only next year's Oscars.

Such good news is certainly exciting, especially for the rest of the crew, and it didn't take long for Donde to receive a call from director Robb.

He looked very excited on the phone, he was not very old, and this was his first real blockbuster, so he was full of desire to win the award.

After a brief chat with him, Don received another call from Scarlett.

This chick has been very busy recently, and she hasn't sent a message to him for a few days, and every time she opens her mouth, she is a tiger and a wolf, but Tang De doesn't have time to make a special trip to find her.

"Great Knight, I didn't expect you to win the best cinematography for your first movie, congratulations." Scarlett's voice was a little lazy, sounding like she had just woken up.

"It's just an association award." Don De drank milk and leaned back on the sofa.

"Just? Wow, it seems that my big knight is dismissive of this, is he thinking about the Oscars? ”

"Of course, do you think there's hope?"

"Hmm......" Scarlett muttered for a moment, "how about we make a bet?" ”

"What do you say?" Don De didn't know what interesting bet the chick was going to make.

Sure enough, Scarlett's bet was still inappropriate: "I was very satisfied with the punishment of the Grand Knight last time, so if the Grand Knight can win Oscar, we will be in Oscar's hotel...... I'm going to play the role of a service person...... How is it? ”

Don De whistled: "No problem! That's it, then what I'm going to ask you to do, you can't refuse. ”

"Don't worry, I won't refuse! But only if you can win. Scarlett chuckled a few times, as if questioning Donde's chances of winning the award.

"It seems that some people really don't cry when they don't see the coffin."

"I like that, but I'm not that kind of person, and I won this time." Scarlett didn't sell off: "I know the orientation of the Oscars, they will definitely divide the awards, and "Chicago" is more likely to win Best Picture in my opinion, maybe add Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design." Best cinematography will definitely go to another film. ”

Tang De raised his eyebrows, I have to say that Scarlett guessed right, the original Oscars did belong to "Chicago", and the best cinematography went to "Road to Destruction".

But in addition to that, there is also the best supporting actress for Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Renee Zellweger didn't win the Oscars, but she won the Best Supporting Actress through "Cold Mountain" after a year, and it can only be said that the fate of the two female characters in "Chicago" is really the same.

But it was precisely because he knew the original trajectory that the change in the result was so exciting, and Tang De said to Scarlett with a smile: "Then let's see, Miss Saint, maybe after the Oscars next year, you should call me master." ”

"Lord...... Person? Scarlett dragged a long note charmingly, and this voice made Donde's back instantly have goosebumps: "I didn't expect the big knight to have such a hobby, no problem, as long as you can get the best photography, you will be my master for the next year." ”

"Okay, then it's settled." Tang De didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain, thinking about the appearance of Scarlett calling the master in front of him at that time, it was really dry-mouthed.

After ending Scarlett's conversation, Don answered Anne Hathaway's call again, she called in the crew, but Scarlett kept occupying the phone, so she couldn't get in.

"Don, are you busy?"

Tang De put the empty milk bottle on the table: "That's right, it's a little, just like you, those crew members have also called me." ”

"Haha, isn't that great? My Don is now a famous photographer in Hollywood. Anne Hathaway laughed.

"Yes, but that's just the beginning, yes, Annie. Oscars, do you have time to attend? I miss you so much. Naturally, Don would not ask Anne Hathaway about the specific itinerary like a fool, women are very sensitive at this point, and if they ask directly, it is often counterproductive.

So he did the opposite and offered to see her to make her happy. In this mood, she will not be vigilant, but will take the initiative to say her own arrangements.

As Donde thought, Anne Hathaway was very impressed by this sentence: "I want to see you too, but the film is still in its infancy, and Eastwood is very strict with the director, so maybe I may not have time to participate in the Oscars." ”

"Well, that's a pity." Tang De just expressed his frustration, and then said: "Then you have to take care, I'm waiting to watch your movie." ”

"Don't worry, Don, I will." Anne Hathaway gave Don a kiss affectionately, and then hung up the phone.

"Whew......" Tang De breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Scarlett and Anne Hathaway will not see each other at the Oscars, so it is the best.

In the days that followed, Mr. Tang worked on a high-level creative advertising proposal, and after that failure, IPG collapsed, and even a lot of management changes at the top of the company could not save its current reputation.

I heard that the board of directors is already planning to change the shell of the company.

The two presidents are desperately trying to pull business for their own companies, but they also stumble each other, making their own customer groups very unstable.

In the entire advertising industry in New York, only Ogilvy Advertising is as stable as Mount Tai, and Supreme Creative has been making small strides, recruiting a lot of creative staff and sales, and cooperating with the consultation calls of customer service ladies every day to run business from company to company.

At this time, Supreme Creative was no longer limited to New York, because the previous advertising in the United States had already played a role, and in just a few months, the company added five new customers, all of whom were first-tier companies in the industry, and they were very high-quality.

Therefore, while the iron is hot, Tang De asked the company's sales to continue to dig deep into high-quality customers, and gave a lot of monetary rewards.

When he dealt with these things one by one, the call of the team of "The Female Devil" also came, this time unlike "Chicago", Tang De, as the art director, will follow up the whole process from the early storyboard of the film.

The crew will still be in New York, but the film will be filmed in two locations, with the exception of the United States, and some scenes involving Germany.

Tang De rushed to the crew's office early in the morning, and before he entered the door, he saw a sloppy woman leaving the office with her back.

She has long blond hair, she can't see her face, and she still wears gray short-sleeved shorts in winter, which makes people feel a little strange.

Staff? But Tang De's keen vision detected the unusualness of the woman, and her temperament when she walked was not comparable to that of the staff.

Actor?

But what actor would dress so sloppily?

With doubts, Donde knocked on the door and walked into the office, and as soon as he entered the room, he met the director of the film, Patty Jenkins.

She was discussing something with the crew with a stack of split cameras.
