Chapter 512： chat

The nomination list is the ticket to the Oscars.

In order to make "Million Dollar Baby" nominated for the nomination, Warner's public relations team did a lot of work, basically for two months, they were busy communicating with the judges and attracting votes.

Of course, public relations cost a lot of money. Just for such a show, more than 7 million US dollars were thrown in, and there is no guarantee that the award will be awarded.

After all, Oscar is a secret ballot, and it is uncertain who the judges will vote for, whether it is principled or not.

But one thing is certain - if you don't go to public relations, you can't win the prize 100%. This is the rule.

It was only after 5 o'clock that Lyman took Eva to the vicinity of the Kodak Theater.

The red carpet has been laid and the media is ready, just waiting for the opening.

In the temporary waiting venue, Lyman had already joined the crew - just three people, Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank, and Morgan Freeman.

Clint is still a little serious, while Hillary has lost a lot of weight, presumably to control her figure. After all, after playing Maggie, she doesn't need to maintain the weight of a welterweight boxer, which is too strong for an actress.

As for Morgan Freeman, he came over to talk enthusiastically after greeting. It really counts, the two have worked together twice, and also recommended him to participate in "Batman: Mystery of the Shadow". more.

"What have you been doing recently?"

"Stay idle at home."

"Is no one looking for you to film?" Lyman wondered.

"There are quite a few, but there aren't many scenes, and some scripts were disappointed and didn't want to accept them." Morgan Freeman smiled and said, "Mr. Rust, is there anything else that is suitable for you?"

This is not true.

Morgan Freeman is one of those black actors in the early stages, but he is old, his acting career is naturally narrow, and there are too many unreliable projects in Hollywood, so he doesn't have many choices for his usual acting opportunities.

"Maybe there is a chance." Lehman replied casually: "If the role is right, I will invite you."

The more cooperation, the more Lehmann finds this kind of old drama more pleasing.

Not long after, you need to come in.

Eva was a little excited and nervous, but otherwise, women are born red carpet animals.

Even if he was a little nervous, his gait and posture were still very good, but he walked a little slowly, pacing, pacing, and showing a charming smile from time to time.

Not to mention the many screaming shouts in the fan area on both sides, such as "Eva, I love you." "Eva, you are so beautiful."

After all, recently, Eva's appearance rate should not be too high. Naturally, she has captured a large number of fans - young, beautiful, and too charming.

In addition, isn't "The Mist" still hanging in the theater, the popularity is naturally not low.

Also, before I knew it, Eva was already so popular, Lehmann sighed slightly in his heart, and continued to walk the whole journey together.

Entering the banquet hall, dozens of round tables are neatly arranged.

This is the second time he has participated in the Oscars, and it is different now, most of the guests inside give him face. Don't sit still in your seat.

As soon as he glanced at him, he found a lot of familiar faces, so he led Eva to socialize -- everyone around him did this, after all, the awards hadn't started yet.

"Hello, Mr. Scorsese."

A tall and thin man turned around, it was Martin, the director of The Aviator.

"Director Lehman, hello."

Familiar is definitely not familiar, but I have heard of it and know the name.

After a few greetings, Lyman moved on to the next one.

"Miss Blanchett, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Rust, just call me by my name."

Cate Blanchett was a little terrified, and said quickly: "I have seen every movie of yours, and I look forward to having the opportunity to play your role."

"It's easy to say, you're a very good actor."

Lehman secretly looked at the representative of the Australian actress. Although she is not beautiful, she has a good temperament, not to mention her acting skills.

"I heard that Director Alejandro is asking you for a slot?"

"Well, I'm thinking about it." Kate thought, "I've read the script, and it doesn't seem to be very good."

She actually knew that "Babel Tower" was invested by Lyman's Firefly Films. The director mentioned it, so she revealed some of her views along the way - she was really not optimistic about "Babel Tower" at first. An actress with rich experience in the industry still has this judgment.

"But there is a lot of room for the role of play, and we are going to the three major European film festivals." Lehmann hinted.

"If that's the case, I'll think about it."

After greeting, he also explained his thoughts on the movie, and stood up for Alejandro, Lehmann turned around again to find acquaintances, and suddenly saw another one, and quickly stepped forward...

It is said that this year is another high-spirited year for Xiao Lizi, and this product is not greasy yet, and its appearance is still online - no belly, no beard, and her head shape has been carefully taken care of, her temperament is outstanding, and her facial features are relatively soft. , is still taking the idol route, not a wild route.

Of course, he must have been more handsome when he was young. Now that he is 31, he has matured a lot and lost his youthfulness. But that face is worth 50 million at the box office anyway - this guy can break 100 million in a literary film , and the audience has to accept it.

When he saw Lehman, he looked at it and smiled, "Director Lehman, I like your "Bad Guy" very much."

"Haha, I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but I never had the chance."

"You're too kind, it should be because I haven't met you."

Xiao Lizi's enthusiasm is not pretentious. This guy really likes gangster movies like "Bad Guy", otherwise he wouldn't have cooperated with Director Martin many times.

After some chat, there were more and more people in the Kodak Theater.

The various nominated crews get together.

By this time, Lyman had finished communicating and returned to his seat.

He saw Hilary Swank adjusting his breathing there, and jokingly said, "Why, are you nervous?"

"Huh, it's a bit."

"Relax, I feel that you have a good chance of winning the prize."

Hilary Swank smiled, still unable to relieve herself.

She knew she was nominated for Best Actress this time, but she was competing with Annette Bening, Caterina Moreno, Kate Winslet and Imelda Staunton.

It can be said that none of them are weak, and she really doesn't have much confidence.

Furthermore, what is different from the mentality of the nominees of the same crew is that Lehman doesn't care much, there are, there are, and there are no; Morgan Freeman has won several supporting role nominations, this time again, that's it; As for Eastwood, it's even easier. He has participated in the Oscars for decades, and he has grown up almost with him. He has won awards as an actor, director, and producer. How can he feel worried about gains and losses...
