Legendary Hollywood Producer - Chapter 159
Almost since the beginning of December, Hollywood has fallen into a carnival:
Opening with the New York Film Critics Award, the Directors’ Guild Award, the North American Broadcast Film Critics Award, the National Film Critics Award… All major film critics association awards will be announced this month. One day.
At the end of December, the Oscars will hold a nominees luncheon. In mid-January of the following year, there will be the Golden Globe, the finale award known as the Oscar vane. At the end of February, it will truly enter the Oscar awards ceremony.
It can be said that the whole process is extremely busy when it comes down, and it is even more commonplace to turn around.
At this time, Hollywood is like the start of a social season, and actors and stars who have been nominated from all walks of life frequently appear and win votes for themselves. There are countless dazzling banquets, and celebrities who have the right to speak, such as film critics, senior directors, producers, and college judges, have become the objects of flattery by the members of the Olympics this season…
This is often the most prevalent and concentrated three months of the unspoken rules of the year. It is not just monetary bribery, but also the exchange of benefits that includes ****, which has given the American people a lot of food. It’s hard to be surprised by this kind of news. It’s normal to be blameless.
Isn’t that the case with Harvey Weinstein, the famous independent film magnate? As long as he boarded his thief ship and didn’t pay anything, it would be a dream to win an award.
Of course, this is not to say that these awards are completely shrouded in shady. If you want to win, first of all, the quality has to be passed. Since the best Oscar movie “Shakespeare in Love” was awarded, the Oscar committee was accepted by the public. After the fierce attack, they did not dare to go too far.
As for the useless awards nominated by “The Devil Wearing Prada”, Roman didn’t care at all. He didn’t even do the public relations, so the probability of winning the prize is naturally very low.
It is almost impossible not to lobby the judges, to spend money on this, and to win prizes.
Hollywood is very realistic, Oscars are more realistic.
Those people are expecting the opening of the Oscars curtain to reap some benefits for themselves. You are unwilling to spend your time on it, so how can people vote for their votes?
In the end, in an atmosphere of anticipation and tension, the 77th Oscar Awards Ceremony made its debut.
…………
In the evening, on the streets of Los Angeles, an extended Lincoln was driving at a slow speed of ten miles per hour.
In the car is the post-production crew of the crew of “The Devil Wearing Prada” led by Roman.
Nominations are only for irrelevant technical awards. The leading actors and a considerable part of the creative team are reluctant to come and see how others receive the awards.
Perhaps the biggest card here is the film director David Frankel. When Roman called to invite him, he happily agreed because he didn’t have a shooting plan for the time being.
Compared to the tension of other Chong Ao teams, Roman and others are very relaxed.
From the back seat of the car, everyone’s laughter was heard from time to time.
“Albert, the list of winners is about to be announced, how do you feel.”
Albert is the representative of the production team nominated for the film’s visual effects award, and the question is another representative of the team nominated for the best sound effects editor Rooney.
“I don’t know, I just went there with the buffet after the ceremony. It doesn’t matter if I won’t be awarded.”
“Then you have to endure a long period of boredom.” Director David Frank interjected.
“No, no, I’ve attended so many awards ceremonies, and I still find it very interesting. It’s not too boring to see the speeches and expressions of the winners.”
“Did you go to the show? Albert.” Rooney chuckled.
“What about you, why are you here too?”
“No one in our team wants to come. I was the one who lost the lottery. I can’t help it.”
“Hahaha…” Everyone was amused by Rooney’s words.
“Look, we should be there.” Albert, who was sitting relatively forward, said.
When Roman heard the popularity, he could see the grand occasion of the Oscars: The car was still almost half a block away from the Kodak Theater on Hollywood Boulevard at this time, but the crowds around him could already be seen from the car.
They stretched from Hollywood Boulevard to the outside, and the surging crowd screamed and shouted feverishly at the slow-moving car queue on the street. Hundreds of thousands of people stood on the inside of the street and danced their hands frantically, hoping to attract the attention of the star actors in the vehicle. The madness of the scene made people see the most steadfast believers.
“Is it so crazy every year?” director David Frank asked a little bit unbelievably.
“Of course, this is a way for those star fans to get close to their favorite actors at one time. Such enthusiasm is also predictable. This is Oscar.” Rooney’s words especially emphasized the importance of the word Oscar. .
As an awards ceremony that the whole world is paying attention to, the Oscars really did not live up to people’s attention to it. Only when I get to the scene and participate in it, can I really feel the fiery atmosphere.
And “The Devil Wearing Prada” is a film crew that is destined to be small tonight. The people in the extended Lincoln car also know that the heat is almost irrelevant to them, so after some comments, everyone chatted again. There are also precautions for the admission of Oscars. Although they are very close to the Kodak Theater, they still have to wait for a while before they can enter.
“Wait a minute, who is going to walk the red carpet with me.” Albert invited with a chuckle.
“I want to go with David Frankel. He is a film director. Maybe the reporters will pay more attention to me later.” Rooney said with a smile: “We are both technicians, together Go, there must be no one’s attention. Why don’t you be with Mr. Roman, this will also attract a little attention.”
“Even so, no one would focus on our combination. If Anne Hathaway could come, it would be almost the same. Her topicality alone crushed the total of the four of us present.”
Because of the market achievements of “The Devil Wearing Prada” after the release, Anne Hathaway has been rated by the media as the most popular actress in the new century. This achievement has also made people pay attention to her. Rose up.
“She has conflicting schedules and can’t squeeze time to attend the Oscars. It is estimated that she is still shooting the location of the film “Brokeback Mountain” in Canada.” Roman explained.
After the film was filmed, Anne Hathaway still often contacted Roman. She was a smart woman and knew that she could not go wrong with the president of a production company.
“Wait for admission, we don’t need media attention either.” Director David said softly.
