Chapter 197: Forced (5/5)

Harvey, the title Oscar pusher.

From Miramax to Weinstein Pictures, what he did was to make the Olympics business — using the influence of the Oscars to plan economic benefits.

"Cinema Paradiso", "Sex, Lies, Videotape", "Vulgar", "The Reader", "The King's Speech", "Chicago", "The English Patient", "The Lord of the Rings", "The Artist", "The Iron Lady", "Shakespeare's Love History", etc., in recent years, more than half of the excellent films will basically pass through his hands.

When Giusebel Tornatore was still an unknown director, Harvey had the insight to discover him and his Cinema Paradiso.

There are also famous directors such as Steven Soderbergh and Pedro Almodovar.

And, of course, Quentin Tarendino...

Why didn't the media break out about Harvey's scandal until 2017?

Because commercial series movies are popular and independent films are in decline...

Harvey started as an independent filmmaker, but the film market was constantly crowded by commercial series of films, which put Harvey in an embarrassment, and his influence in Hollywood greatly declined.

In those years, many of the good films that Hollywood has been able to get hold of in recent years are still from Harvey...

But that's not a reason why he can wantonly suppress other films!

That's not how power is used!

Nancy's public relations is not only aimed at Harvey's praise, but there is also another team responsible for contacting the group of people who were suppressed by him that year - the Oscar for Best Picture was awarded to "Shakespeare in Love", Spielberg directly left the awards scene, and even missed the press conference afterward.

There are too many people who hold a grudge against him!

But can these factors add up to make "The Hunt" turn around?

Shen Mengxi was faintly worried - what if Tom Cruise took the wrong envelope?

So, after going on stage, he took the envelope and confirmed that it was indeed written "Jagten", he smiled and moved out of the way...

Best Picture is never awarded to one person, but to an entire filmmaking team!

The Oscars originally stipulated that only two producers could come on stage to accept the award, but it was later questioned by a bunch of people, and the academy no longer limited the people on stage, acquiescing to the situation that the entire crew can accept the award on stage.

Shen Mengxi and Leonardo had already spoken once, so they gave it to David.

David held the trophy, his expression had regained his composure, and he spoke: "Best Picture is the best award I can think of!" "Hunting" embodies the joint efforts of many people, our whole team has worked hard for a year, this award is the best affirmation of the team, I want to thank everyone in the team!"

"Finally, I want to say that even if the whole society abandons you, live with dignity! If malice cannot be avoided, at least live strong!"

"To Michael Jackson!"

The last sentence was applauded by the audience!

......

Beijing is 15 hours ahead of Los Angeles, so the Oscars end at 10:30 p.m., and Beijing time is 1:30 p.m.

So, there are a lot of people who tune in to the live Oscars - no need to stay up late.

According to Tudou's statistics afterwards, the number of people online at the same time reached 6 million!

Other words...

No need to say that the media has gone crazy!

The four major portals directly made the manuscript and hung it directly on the headline of the entertainment section.

Then CCTV, Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily, and People's Daily also sent a message - congratulations to "Hunting" for winning the Oscars for Best Director, Best Picture, and Best Actor!

It's a little regret that "The Hunt" is an American film...

But it's also proud enough!

The fifth generation of Chongao has been rushing for so long, and Shen Mengxi has achieved it!

It's not a Golden Globe, it's an Oscar!

Netizens exploded in minutes!

The communicability of the Oscars is global, not quite the same as Cannes and Berlin, and we have won the three European awards - "Parasite" won the Cannes Palme d'Or, everyone's reaction was very average, at most two sour sentences, we have already won it, won the Oscar...

The portion is just different!

Shen Mengxi broke another record for Chinese filmmakers with "Hunting"...

Hanging explosion!

This is Oscar, forced grid, coffee position... It's high!

Weibo and major online forums quickly became noisy.

Still others were surprised...

Shen Mengxi, Oscar, Best Director and Best Picture?

It's open, right?

Shen Mengxi can make movies, everyone knows that Wang Jiawei, who was scared in "Manchester by the Sea" back then, didn't dare to speak...

The movie "Hunting" is also very concerned by the industry, after all, he won the best director and best actor in Cannes last year...

Although no one has seen the movie, out of inertia with the Oscars, the probability of Shen Mengxi winning the award is still quite small...

How did you win so many awards?

How is that possible?

He's only 29 years old!

"Hunting" is his second film, talking about the Oscars?

It took Li Amine more than ten years to become a god with "Brokeback Mountain"...

Don't... Shen Mengxi became an international director overnight?

This... What will you think of him in the future?

Regardless of the voices of the outside world, Tudou Video took the opportunity to announce: On February 28th, 'Potato Plays Big Names' will be launched, and the first guest is Shen Mengxi, so stay tuned...

......

"Director Shen, can you talk about your current feelings?"

"No, Mengxi won the award, are you under pressure?"

After the press conference, when he came out of the theater, more than a dozen reporters blocked him and Liu Yifei in the interview area, and threw all kinds of questions over...

Not only domestic media, but also many foreign media.

These media outlets are either tabloids or have not received tickets - they have not received an official Oscar invitation, and those who have received an invitation will ask questions at the press conference...

"I'm sorry... I should say that the press conference just now is almost over..."

Shen Mengxi apologized, and under the support of the organizer's staff, he directly entered the Hilton Hotel and came to the crowded No. 1 banquet hall.

Banquet held by Vanity Fair!

Therefore, the fashion industry and the entertainment industry are not separated, and "Vanity Fair" is a magazine...

Every year Vanity Fair has a big Oscar party, which coincides with the Oscars, and those stars who don't have an Oscar invitation come here, as do those who have attended the ceremony.

Finding his place, Shen Mengxi sat down, suddenly thought of something, and said to Liu Yifei: "Actually, the first Oscar for Best Actor should have been awarded to a dog! In the first round of the Best Actor selection, it won the most votes, but the second round of selection was limited to human beings, so it missed the little golden man."

This dog is called Ren Dingding, a sheepdog rescued by American soldiers from the German military factory in France after World War I, and is a popular and most profitable Hollywood star dog at that time.

“... How did you talk about that?"

"I'm in a good mood... Hurry up and eat, they will come later, and there will be no chance to eat..."

As soon as the words fell, the "Descendants" at the next table came over to say hello...
