Chapter 615： Business

Alejandro waited in a black suit, but followed in the footsteps of Lyman and Liam.

——Smile, clink glasses, introduce each other.

Just waiting for a senior in the film industry who could never get acquainted in the past to be polite to him, and listen carefully to Lyman whispering to him about their identities.

There are resident Oscar judges, well-known film critics, and producers and screenwriters in the circle. In short, those who can appear at today's reception will not be a marginal role in Hollywood.

The bright lights, leisurely music, and the alcohol he drank nourished his still sober mind, as if the surrounding magnificence and communication etiquette were deeply imprinted and engraved into his body.

Alejandro loosened his bow tie, and evacuated some inexplicable tension in the fiery atmosphere, and immediately felt much better.

He doesn't know when he has been so popular. Maybe "21 Grams" won the Venice Golden Lion and let the movie heroine win the Venice Queen, and was flattered by the cast and some European filmmakers.

But then it will be different, because the social class is different - will it be the same as dealing with the powerful and ordinary people in the industry?

It can also be seen from the surrounding environment.

The large manor near the coast and the back garden surrounded by exquisite buildings were difficult for him to enter at this time.

"This is the judge in charge of selecting the best screenplay."

Lyman tilted his head and reminded again.

——Best screenplay? Award nominee.

Alessandro thought to himself, and saw a man in his fifties with a bright forehead approaching to chat not far ahead.

He quickly took a glass of champagne from the waiter next to him, and with a warm smile, he got to know each other a little.

......

For this Oscar, even though he knew that he had little hope of winning the grand prize, Lehmann still spent money to find a public relations company to be responsible for wooing the judges.

At this time, Oscar is still the old-fashioned network of kings mixed with the so-called political trend.

And whoever has a wide enough friendship has a greater chance of winning the prize. This is already a very clear rule.

Although the old men are stubborn, they are not stupid. Those who can be shortlisted basically mean that the quality of the film is already the best in the same grade.

The establishment of such a threshold is the meaning of Oscar's fair position and gold content.

After all, compared to real capitalists, they still have the idea of ​​thinking about the industry.

Therefore, during this period, all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods have appeared one after another, and each has made strange moves, but it is generally within the rules.

Perhaps the Oscars are becoming more and more like a business. Most of the recent news in the media is deliberately smeared and rhythmic.

For example, how much Reese Witherspoon suffered for the filming of "Walking With the Song", or Keira Knightley was satirized as Elizabeth in "Pride and Prejudice", with too much force, almost crazy, and deviated from the original book So many characters - Keira Knightley always feels like an archaic model.

In the chaos, in order to compete for the best heroine, the war has already heated up.

As for who is pushing behind this, or everyone is pushing, who knows.

Since the birth of the public relations industry, almost all of them have been serving public figures.

......

This year, Hollywood's film production has grown again, and it always feels like a flourishing flavor of prosperous entertainment.

However, the North American film market has been developed to the point of being fully developed. If this continues, a large number of film companies will inevitably go bankrupt in the increasingly fierce production competition until they just meet the market capacity.

This is also an inevitable process of self-regulation of the film market.

In 2006, on the evening of March 6, the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles was full of stars, because the 78th Oscar ceremony will be held here again.

In front of the splendid theater, a long red carpet has already been laid out.

Not to mention the fans who came to join in the fun, it was just that reporters from all walks of time filled up the open spaces on both sides.

While Lehmann was waiting in the car, a staff member of the awards party sneaked over.

"Mr. Rust, the organizing committee has a small request that needs your cooperation."

"What's the matter?" Lyman asked suspiciously.

The staff lowered their voices, "When the best animation is awarded, can you leave the table and go backstage? The best foreign language will be awarded later, I hope you can come on stage."

Okay, so it turned out to be the guest of honor.

Ryman nodded amusedly and agreed.

This is a trivial matter, and it also represents the recognition of him by the Oscar Organizing Committee.

Soon, the top executives of many studios came.

Several award-winning candidates also took the crew to the red carpet, happily taking photos and interviews with reporters.

Immediately afterwards, celebrities from all walks of life appeared one after another, causing waves of commotion among fans.

It's still hard to see the scene of the stars fighting. If it weren't for Oscar, there wouldn't be so many big stars.

Especially when Xiao Lizi arrived, he, who had not yet gained weight, almost caused the fans to break through the obstacles and squeezed onto the stage. The security personnel on the scene were tired and sweaty to maintain the scene.

And this year's Oscar broadcaster, abc, watched with joy as the number of viewers continued to increase.

After that, Christian Bale's appearance also brought a certain commotion, and Bruce Wayne played by Ya was recognized by many fans.

As for Lehman, without Eva's company, there shouldn't be much disturbance. As a person behind the scenes, he is quite self-aware.

Walk into the hall and find a good seat to sit down.

Lyman is surrounded by member groups such as "King Kong", "Mystery of the Shadow", "Goblet of Fire" that do not win awards, and more ahead are "Crash", "Brokeback Mountain", "Walking with the Song" popular members like.

In fact, this is also for the consideration of the camera angle. Most of the pictures of the live cameras on both sides will be given to the front row.

Eva looked around, left and right, and then said, "This Oscar seems to be more lively?"

"This year's shortlist lineup is stronger than last year's," Lehmann explained.

The Oscars have been held so many times, and there are titles such as small years and big years.

After all, good works don't come together every year.

After chatting for a while, the host John Stewart came to the stage and started with a punchline——

"The Oscars are a feast for the audience to appreciate stars and movies for free."

"I strongly urge viewers not to watch pirated copies, you look at these female stars, they are so poor that they can barely cover their breasts." (The camera sweeps over Reese, Charlize Theron, Keira Knightley ... one by one showing off her graceful figure.) Everyone present was amused, and Lehmann laughed, pinching Eva's little hand.

"I'm honored because the organizers told me that there are hundreds of millions of viewers watching the Oscars live, but it's even more honored that maybe half of them are waiting to be adopted by Miss Angelina." (Angelina Recently, Na has been furiously sending out a press release for herself to set up a good mother. According to news reports, she has adopted 5 children from Ethiopia, Vietnam and other places, with all skin colors.) The camera swept over, Angelina's face She kept a stiff smile, but she was probably scolding her mother. After all, everyone in the circle was watching jokes. Who didn't know what Xiao Jiujiu was playing? As for liking children? You can pull it down, and you will deceive the fans.

After a joke and humorous opening remarks, the atmosphere of the scene was mobilized, and it was time to truly announce the ownership of the awards.

Tension came suddenly.

Of course, it wasn't Ryman who was nervous, but the filmmakers who had the chance to win the big prize.

Everyone is doing public relations, so there is still some suspense.

And first of all, it is definitely a small prize for leftovers. After all, the main event has to come to the end.

Among them, "Memoirs of a Geisha" won the Best Costume, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography - well, there is a movie starring both International Zhang and Gong Li, producer Spielberg. However, perhaps the most impressive thing about this film is the background soundtrack of the film by music master John Williams.

Then, "Monster in the Lake" defeated "King Kong" and "War of the Worlds" and won the best sound effect, but lost to "King Kong" in the best viewing angle, which is a little consolation, and did not return empty-handed.

However, this year's Oscars have a style of sharing the cake. Few films that can be nominated have not won a single award, but they have lost their spirit.
