Chapter 514： slap in the face

Why does Oscar hate Martin Scorsese, and he has been nominated five times for best director and two for best screenplay, all of which have been unsuccessful?

Or to put it another way, why haven't you seen people for more than 20 years?

This will involve political and geographical factors.

Martin Scorsese himself is a director from the East Coast who uses New York as a filmmaker, while Hollywood in Los Angeles is an award on the West Coast. Their regional cultural characteristics are destined to be in the same pot.

As we all know, discrimination is not only about race and skin color, but also discrimination between the states of our lighthouse country is prevalent.

The most serious of them is the mutual discrimination between the east and west coasts.

In other words, Los Angeles looks down on New York, and New York thinks Los Angeles is a rural place.

If this is the case, it is actually inconvenient to target so many years. Among them, Martin Scorsese would have a big temper when he was young, and often said something very rude to the Oscar jury. The judges were naturally negatively impressed - you look down on it. Me, why am I giving you an award?

However, director Martin's personal achievements in the film and the popularity and status accumulated by the audience cannot be completely ignored, otherwise it will not be enough to convince the public. Credibility is the foundation of the award, and the jury does not understand it.

So they are also absolutely sure, that is, when they encounter director Martin's works, they will give more honors and no gold. It's not worth talking about, right?

In this way, it can be seen that the Oscar judges naturally reject Martin Scorsese, thinking that you are a New York school and know the art of hammer.

Later, Martin took the initiative to relent, and his personality gradually subsided. Oscar played another game, and it was a genius. When selecting "Infernal Affairs", Martin Scorsese won the best director.

Is there anything wrong with this?

Haha, Martin was so mad at that time.

why?

"Infernal Affairs" is an adaptation. Martin saw that the Hong Kong version was good, so he brought it over and changed the background and character relationships. Strictly speaking, it was made of American skin and adapted to American audiences.

This guy said in his own interview, "It was unexpected that "Infernal Affairs" would have such a high evaluation..."

Asking himself, Martin felt that the judges were slapping him in the face. Who didn't know that this movie was just a ticket game, but he thought the original was good and moved him, so he bought the copyright to remake it.

Comparing "Gangs of New York", with the same theme, how many fans of the audience would think that a remake would represent Martin's decades of directing career?

Isn't this ironic and slap in the face?

Even if Martin Scorsese can win the gold medal, where will Liu Weiqiang and Mak Siu-fai be? Others are the original, and the Oscars don't want to award statuettes - at least a best foreign language film is fine.

To sum up, Oscar still doesn't want to see Martin Scorsese, but his seniority is too old, and he has been pressing him to make Oscar a group of narrow-minded people--isn't it, a group of old and stubborn people, what is there to reminisce about the golden age.

Thinking about it, it seems ironic that Johnny Depp won the title with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series - "Edward Scissorhands" is not given, but a special effects blockbuster, haha, the Oscars will play.

Counting it down, Oscar won't have a cramp in the crowd for the first time, otherwise there won't be so many audience ridicules such as "Best Water Queen" and "Last Movie".

Of course, this has nothing to do with Lehmann.

After the awards, the three-hour awards ceremony ended, and then came the party hosted by Vanity Fair.

When most of the guests held wine glasses and communicated everywhere, the media had already started arranging tomorrow's entertainment news:

For example, "The male and female lead actors of "Million Dollar Baby" both won golden statuettes."

Or ""The Aviator" was six out of eleven, but the most crucial best director and best picture were won by "Finding Neverland"."

In other words, the media can see that this Oscars will definitely be controversial, and if there is a controversy, there will be traffic, and everyone is thinking about which direction to report from.

On the other side, when Lyman took Eva to the banquet party, he met the crew of "The Aviator" again.

As soon as the Oscars ended, Martin Scorsese maintained a polite smile, but no matter how he looked at it, he could feel a rush of anger.

Lehmann sighed in his heart, you will have to suffer in the future.

Then, I chatted with Xiao Lizi for a while again.

He was in a good mood, perhaps because he won the Golden Globe Best Actor, he didn't expect to win the Oscar Best Actor - maybe he was fantasizing, maybe the next time he was shortlisted, he would get what he wanted. Almost enough.

Of course, for his inexplicable self-confidence, Lehmann did not open his mouth to attack.

Because theoretically speaking, if you miss the nomination for many times, you have to give it no matter what. This is also the drawback of Oscar - qualifications speak.

It's a pity that you haven't beaten one-third of this boss yet, Lehmann thought to himself.

……

In the evening, halfway through the banquet, Lyman dragged Morgan Freeman and Hillary together again.

The two of them are constantly playing with the little golden statues they have obtained, and their mood has not calmed down until now.

Several people were drinking and chatting, and they all drank a lot, and all of them were a little drunk.

Hillary was still sighing, "Haha, this is my second seat, it's like a dream."

Although Morgan Freeman is not so excited, he won't be unhappy after winning the award, but he is still concerned about Lyman's feelings. After all, in addition to the actor award, "Million Dollar Baby" won The best soundtrack, better than nothing.

"This time there is a nomination, maybe next time I will get the best director." Morgan-Freeman said.

Lehmann thought to himself: I don't think I need a golden director to prove that I can film.

He shook his head, seeing that Director Martin was so organized, he really didn't dare to mix it up. As for what to give or not, don't deliberately alienate or move closer. After all, the network of these judges has almost penetrated into Hollywood. in every way.

Lyman took another cup, "Maybe."

A group of people ate and drank late and staggered into the car before letting the driver drive back.

When entering the room, it was Eva who helped her onto the bed—she didn't drink much.

When he fell on the bed, there were vaguely a pair of small hands to help him undress.

Not long after, another gentle body leaned over...

This night, Lehman was very tired for some reason...

On the second day, as expected, the selection of this year's Oscars aroused a lot of scolding.

Many people are questioning its fairness.

Of course, this year is not the worst criticized. Counting forward, 1994 and 1999 were even more controversial.

In other words, it's impossible to completely follow everyone's wishes when selecting this thing. As always, the Oscar jury will just pretend to be dead after awarding the award.

I don't even care what will be said outside...
