~： Seven hundred and sixty - eye-popping

Wayne is no longer a dispensable little person. If the time goes back five years, then even if he doesn't attend any events and immerses himself in his work, naturally no one will notice him.

To this day, if you say he's insignificant, you'd be blindfolding your ears.

The name Wayne Greenberg has been called by more and more media as the representative of Hollywood directors in the 1990s, whether it is its own influence or the film capital it represents behind it. He is destined to become a mountain in the industry.

There is also a very important point, the academy did not deliberately suppress him, and even gave Wayne Hollywood the most grand treatment in the past 30 years.

By any measure, there was no reason for him to play dead dog and be absent from the biggest party in Hollywood.

The North American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will eventually become the college of Wayne and his generation. Of course, no matter how the times progress, when Wayne and the others become a bad old man, their tastes will inevitably favor their youth. Movies of the era, just like the old men now like the taste of movies in the 60s and 70s.

This year's Oscars, the overall evaluation of the media and the public tends to be flat, the main reason is the lack of enough heavyweight works. Although films including "Shakespeare in Love", "The Truman World", "Life is Beautiful" and other films have received a lot of praise from the critics, they cannot cover up the weak box office performance of these films.

From this point of view, it is Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" that has become one of the few public spots.

Originally, Wayne's "The Flash" was destined to be one of the most eye-catching masterpieces, but after the nominees' luncheon was over, everyone knew very well that this year's Oscars have basically nothing to do with Wayne, I'm afraid Even the Academy didn't count on "The Flash" to attract viewership.

On the surface, the academy has been emphasizing "film art", but in fact they understand better than anyone else that films without a substantial box office basis will naturally lack audiences. And all "art films" compete on the highest stage of the Oscars, and the most affected is the ratings of the Oscars.

Since entering the 1990s, the Oscar stage has always been a fight between gods and gods. Counting down the major winners in the past few years, which one did not earn enough public attention before harvesting the golden statuette?

Exactly this year, it seems that it has suddenly entered the other extreme, and there are no films that have not only achieved good market results, but also have enough "film art".

For a long time, the Academy did not need such a film to win. However, the Academy needs such a film to compete on the Oscar stage.

Whether it's "Titanic", "Forrest Gump", or "Braveheart", "Schindler's List", these films that are both acclaimed and well-received have never been short of films before they became the big winners of the Oscars that year. Competitive competitor.

And among the five works nominated for the best picture this year, "Saving Private Ryan" is also out of the box office. However, for some forward-looking and unspeakable reasons, the performance of this film at this year's Oscars was not favored by the senior management of the academy. …

Wayne, who used to be synonymous with "commercial achievements" and "artistic pursuits" in the past, withdrew from the center of the competition early this year, and many people in the know already knew that when Wayne got what he wanted in "The Departed" Everything, turned around and started to concentrate on comics and movies. In recent years, he has completely given up the competition for awards.

Many mainstream entertainment media in North America generally believe that this Oscars will be the most peaceful one since the 1990s.

That is to say, in this context, the college needs the attendance of Wayne and others as scheduled. The academy is never a one-person academy, and the star-studded scenes in Hollywood are never created by a single person. There are some tacit understandings that you must abide by when you reach that position.

The awards ceremony is just around the corner, and even if this year's Oscars are considered flat by the media, they still have no plans to let go of the popular candidates, especially in some awards that are prone to "big news".

It just so happens that no matter which Oscar it is, the best actress is the most prone to "eye-popping" incidents, and it is also the most competitive award. Don't look at it, the more important honors such as the best picture seem to surpass the actress in status, but when it comes to the cruelty of the competition, the throne of the actress has always been the first.

In various Oscar-forward reports and TV shows, Cate Blanchett's voice for the best actress is very high, even higher than Meryl Streep, who is known for her acting skills.

The reason is very simple. Cate Blanchett holds two films, "Yin Lisabai" and "Shakespeare in Love" due to timing, film release nodes and other reasons. Don't look at the poor box office of these two films. Many fans said that they have never seen one in the theater, but in the professional commentary circle, her performance has received a lot of recognition, especially her wonderful performance in "Yin Lisabai" .

As for "Shakespeare in Love", the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. After all, acting has always been very subjective.

What makes people laugh and cry is also here. Obviously, her performance in "Yin Lisabai" is perfect, but the production company of "Yin Lisabai" is a TV station owned by Time Warner, and there is no plan to bleed public relations for the film.

On the other hand, another "Shakespeare in Love", which has received mixed praise and criticism, performed a lot throughout the awards season. Privately, countless insiders speculate that Harvey Weinstein went completely crazy this year because of the collapse of "Reservoir Dogs" and "The English Patient" the year before.

Not counting the secret expenses, the lobbying funds invested by this fat man on the surface are about 7 million US dollars! Such numbers are completely unimaginable in this day and age.

But a small number of people are very clear in their hearts, the reason why this stingy fat man is able to play so big this time is because there is a master who is not bad for money standing behind him.

And this part of the people who know the facts are looking forward to the fat man Harvey Weinstein, once again at the Oscars. They all hate the unscrupulous gold-dollar strategy and Harvey Weinstein's unlimited smear and dirty water methods.

It's not that darker thoughts don't exist, and even these people want to know if Harvey Weinstein didn't get what he wanted after throwing so many dollars. The "dark tyrant" who has been looming behind him, will he drain the fat from him afterwards. …

That is, two days before the official Oscars, a voice suddenly came out of the academy, claiming that the academy will definitely carry out youth reform, especially the invisible discrimination against young people, which is the key direction of the youth reform in the future.

And the reform of Oscar's youth is likely to start from this session.

When this news appeared, many media suspected that this was a gimmick used by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in order to attract the public to the Oscars.

But even if the academy's external spokesperson denied it, it could not change the fact that this year's Oscars suddenly heated up and started to cause a heated discussion in North America.

"Just listen to what the old men in the academy said. In fact, compared to the youthful reforms they are clamoring for, it's not as strong as farting."

Sitting under an awning outside the red carpet at Dorothy Chandler Hall, Wayne waved a hand to stop Cameron Diaz from tidying his collar. He glanced at the crowd of fans and reporters on both sides of the red carpet, pouted to Tom Cruise next to him and continued:

"Tom, don't be too concerned about the so-called youth reform. Believe me, unless all those old guys die one day, your handsome face will be their biggest discrimination against you."

On the afternoon of March 21, 1999, Pacific Time, the 71st Academy Awards officially began amid various rumors. Wayne's female partner Naomi Watts was also absent for the first time because of the filming of "King Kong" in New Zealand.

However, the reporters got excited. When he walked into the temporary waiting area built by the organizer, many reporters clearly saw that it was not Naomi Watts who was following Wayne. Cameron Diaz at the Golden Globes.

All the reporters' eyes were on Wayne in a black bcktie dress and Cameron Diaz in a red low-cut dress, completely ignoring Zach Snyder who got off the same car as them.

"Hey, **** it, you put out the fire of hope I just lit."

Brother Tom smiled and waved his hand. Obviously, in his heart, he never believed in the so-called rejuvenation reform. In fact, even if this so-called rejuvenation is true, what can it be like? Could the old men behind Oscar give him a golden statuette for "Mission Impossible"?

"Tom, do you really care about that little golden man?" Wayne asked casually, frowning slightly.

"Well, everyone in this circle" Tom said with a smile. "Does anyone care about the little golden man?"

Although he said this, Wayne was very sure in his heart that Tom Cruise was not stupid at all, and the other party knew his position in the circle too well. Maybe Tom really wanted the actor, but he never tried to make some irrational efforts just because he wanted it.

In the past three years, the film that the other party can take out is still "Mr. Sweetheart" three years ago. Over the past few years, it can be said that this evergreen among Hollywood's first-line superstars has mainly worked on wrestling with Paramount.

Now it seems that this contest between the superstar and the production company should have achieved a result acceptable to both parties. Otherwise, preparations for the second part of "Mission Impossible" will not begin. …

"Be ugly."

Raising his wrist to glance at the time, Wayne still whispered a shortcut-like idea. "Only when there is a huge contrast and pretending to be ugly, will you have a chance to get that damned golden statue. Apart from that, I can't think of any other better way."

In fact, there is a more traditional method, which is to boil. That's right, with qualifications, a top superstar like Tom Cruise will definitely have something to say at the end of the day, but in that case, the Golden Man is definitely not something that can be imagined in the past two years.

Tom Cruise once thought about trying this method, but as long as he thought of the consequences of doing so, he gave up directly. Facing Wayne's suggestion, he shook his head with a wry smile. "Not worth the loss."

This is where Tom is smart. In the 1990s, the appeal of Hollywood superstars reached its peak. Even a movie was just in the preparatory period. As long as a first-line star like Tom joined, it could be sold overseas in advance. Selling copyrights shows that they themselves have influence on publishers.

Tom Cruise is even more typical. It can be said that no one knows better than him that his face is a blessing to his career.

It’s easy to pretend to be ugly, as long as he wants to, some directors of literary and artistic films are willing to hand over some “artistic” scripts. It is precisely that the cost of such films is still very low, and the shooting cycle is not too long.

But what about after? Not to mention whether he can achieve the expected results at the Oscars, there is a high probability that his screen image will be destroyed. Don't think that the North American movie fans in the 1990s were as open and rational as they were 20 years later. The era of the most powerful star appeal is also the most blind era of star chasing.

Wayne spread his hands and shrugged. He didn't continue on this topic. Seeing that it was almost time, he nodded, took Cameron Diaz and Zach Snyder, and walked to his car.

"I don't want to be on the front page of tomorrow, or as a background board."

Zach Snyder reluctantly complained, standing still and didn't move. "Boss, I'll go in through the staff passage in a moment."

"Okay, let's go."

As the countdown to the Oscars in the 1990s, the Academy's original intention should have been to organize this year's Oscars into a grand event. But the various media reports before the awards ceremony may have made the college's face project less flavorful.

But in any case, the Oscars are still the most marketing awards ceremony today, and this title ensures that it will not be too short.

Whether it was a deliberate arrangement by the organizers or a coincidence, but after Wayne got out of the car and led Cameron Diaz to the red carpet, he realized that the previous one was Cate Blanche. special.

When the alternative voices sounded and the fans shouted his name loudly, Wayne still maintained his rhythm of walking the red carpet. He was not affected at all, and his footsteps were still shooting stars, walking towards the interview area at the end of the red carpet.

Embarrassing things will always come. The Oscar red carpet is the stage where female stars compete with each other. Cate Blanchett's walking speed is very slow. She stopped frequently to pose in different poses for the media reporters on one side to take pictures. It didn't take long for the two of Wayne behind to catch up with her.

That's it, at the 71st Academy Awards, the first scene that shocked everyone's attention came.

When Cate Blanchett saw the two approaching, an imperceptible arc was raised at the corner of her mouth, and she simply stood there and waited for the two behind her. Then, under the disbelieving gazes of countless fans and media reporters, he rolled up Wayne's left arm and walked towards the end of the red carpet with Cameron Diaz on the other side of the man.

It can be seen that both Wayne and Cameron Diaz were obviously stiff for a moment.

"God, UU reading Wayne is simply my idol in life!"

"f**k, **** bi**h, let go of Wayne's arm."

"Hey, hey, look this way, Mr. Greenberg."

The chaotic shouts of the fans and the excited shouts of the reporters all entered Wayne's ears for a while. He suddenly grinned and didn't care about these sounds at all. Go to the end of the red carpet.

At the same time, he asked helplessly in a low voice: "Shit, what benefits did the academy give you to make news for Oscar recklessly. Dear Ms. Blanchett?!"

"If I say, they promise to give me a golden statuette"

Keeping a smile on her face, Cate Blanchett directly ignored Cameron Diaz's resentful white eyes and whispered: "Darling, do you believe it?!"
