Hollywood legendary director

What can this award prove?Excellent connections?Public relations fees are in place?Or is it luck?——Anyway, among the countless facts that this Best Foreign Language Award can represent, there must be no complete unified statement.

But this does not mean that he is unhappy, at least, he is moving towards the ultimate goal, and occasionally a little deviation, it does not matter.

Lehmann quickly suppressed the out-of-date cranky, and calmly stepped onto the podium, first and politely hugged Catherine Zeta Jones.

"Congratulations, Director Lyman."

"Should I say thank you?"

The two chuckled lightly.

After the brief greeting, Lehmann took the golden ball trophy from her hand, and turned to face the silent attention from the audience. Lehmann took a deep breath and settled all the complicated things. Mood, once again devoted to the role of the winner with suitable surprises and emotions.

"Thanks... and... finally..."

After finishing the more conventional acceptance speech, Lehman made a bowing gesture, and then was led to the backstage by a staff member for an interview holding the trophy-the agent Johnson had been waiting in the backstage interview area for a long time.

"Director Lyman, how are you feeling now?"

"Do you think you will get the favor of the Oscar judges? Although you have already won the Golden Globe."

"Do you have a chance of winning for your work?"

"Director Lyman..."

In the visual stimulus composed of multiple flashes, Lehman could only reluctantly parry, restrained his urge to blink quickly, and at the same time picked out a few questions to answer.

Fortunately, Johnson is very experienced in this kind of scene. He constantly picks and rolls for him, and can quietly remind him how to answer certain deliberate questions.

Lehman successfully responded with a few painless answers, and holding the trophy for the reporters to take a few photos, it was over.

In the end, the Golden Globe awards ceremony finally came to a close with the sound of singing and dancing.

In fact, compared to the Oscars, the Golden Globes is like a carnival for practitioners. Everyone has nominations and everyone has fun, and whether it is the final winner or the unsuccessful, they are more relaxed.

Moreover, unlike the unity party held by Vanity Fair after the Oscars, the Golden Globes do not do this, but each company will hold its own award-winning party, which is what Europa thinks.

George also specially came to inform Lehman and his party, and this is a good opportunity for the two allies of CAA and Paramount Pictures to not be absent and promote mutual affection. Even though Lehman is very tired, he still did not refuse George's invitation. .

"Seriously, you should often come out to participate in similar activities." For a social freak like George, most of the time, in addition to dealing with various necessary tasks, the rest is to develop a network. He took the lead in clinking glasses to Lehman. Said: "Unless it’s about yourself, you don’t almost go to any parties. Even in your free time, you would rather hide at home and get moldy than go out. This is not good. Of course, I don’t have to socialize. But there is only one life in human life, and you must enjoy it when it is time to enjoy it."

Lehman laughed, "Yes, George, I must and will seriously consider your suggestions."

Tonight, he is the absolute protagonist. At such a festive party, even if Lyman deliberately controls the measurement, he has already drunk slightly, but the circle of people who came to socialize with him is still in an endless stream: He won the Golden Globe Award, and the size is considered an achievement. In addition, the box office trend of "Furious" is very good, and the success of the three films with different themes is also very convincing.

In the entertainment industry, getting results is always the best social weapon, which still works in the identity of actors, producers, photographers, etc.

Maybe before this, some people will not take you seriously, but when you show more and more successful side, quite a lot of people will change their minds, they will invite you to make a film, and you are almost- -The attitude of conversation will also bring more respect.

Lehman clearly felt it. Even Shirley Lansing, the CEO of Paramount Pictures, gave him an unprecedented smile to greet him. Before this, let alone come to meet, the two had a good time for business. less.This is really true.

......

"Cheers."

"Boom..." Another bottle of champagne was opened, the bubbles burst out, and the glasses were filled one by one. Ryan and Thomas' faces were full of joy.

After dealing with the interpersonal relationship, Lyman also got together with his small group.

"We got the Golden Globe Award." Thomas showed his excitement from the beginning.

However, this is indeed a pretty good result, isn't it?

Ryan sat in a chair and held up a glass of champagne. After the three of them clinked the glasses, they said, "Congratulations."

"Congratulations to us." Lehman picked up the wine glass and drank it.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the Golden Globe Awards celebration banquet has become more and more deserted. The awards season in 2002 has so far passed two-thirds and officially entered the final sprint stage.

Two days later, at 9:30 p.m. on January 27, the Oscar nomination party officially kicked off and the annual Oscar nomination list was announced.

In the eyes of the public, Eli Dominic, accompanied by the chairman of the Academy Jury, Frank Pearson, began announcing his Oscars for the film.

What people pay attention to is undoubtedly the fight for the best film. "Chicago", "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings", "Pianist", "New York Gangs" and "The Moment", these five films successfully squeezed into the final The campaign stage was also the last offensive against Xiaojin.

After the nomination list came out, many people were surprised. Not only the public, but even the industry insiders did not expect it.

Two big hits, "Adapted Screenplay" and "Cat and Mouse Game" were both upset. Some people even joked that Leonardo DiCaprio was really not loved by those old stubborn academics and accompanies Oscars all the time. What a miserable man.

Facts have also proved that he is really miserable, and in the end he can barely be treated differently by demonizing his appearance.

Instead, it is the "Pianist" that has caused the biggest disturbance recently and "Chicago", which has always been low-key.

This is not only what can be said by surprise, but also disrupted the planning and preparation of many people, and the competing chess players have changed.

If you say that "Chicago" is the main movie of Miramax this year. Although it is low-key and does not appear frequently in various awards, it is a small-format movie, but the style of the film is very retro and nostalgic, and it is stamping the judges. In my heart, and at the last minute, there is still a precedent for copying the feat of "Shakespeare in Love" bargaining counterattack that year, and considering that this is Harvey Weinstein's plan, it will not surprise everyone, then "The Pianist" is really very unexpected.

Everyone can't believe that the college judges will brave such a huge public opinion pressure and insist on putting such a tainted film in the final stage of the competition.

In the history of Oscars, there has never been such a thing. This is the most surprising point.

They may not be able to figure out the significance of the college judges' doing this. The most troublesome is undoubtedly the behind-the-scenes public relations team of "Adapted Screenplay".

Leading the season for a whole season, the major awards were softened, but at the last moment they died in an incredible way. The ending came too suddenly and there were no signs. They just fell short.

I think carefully about the benefits of mentioning "The Pianist", but I don't know how it would benefit the judges of that group of colleges.

Could it be that Roman Polanski can still be exonerated by going to the United States to receive the award, and he may not dare to come to the United States for life, so what value does this Oscar nomination have to him and to the judges?

Obviously it is meaningless, but the college judges did just that.

However, they don't care too much about what they think in their minds. Anyway, upset this kind of thing, every few years, they can always do something.

Perhaps it is to emphasize their sense of existence. After all, every year, only during the Oscars award season, people will think of them and demand them.

As for the nomination of "Three Fools in Bollywood" for the best foreign language film, it seems a bit calm.

After all, there are already relevant signs in the circle, and the competition in this area has never been in the thinking of these film makers, and only those outsiders will care about this award. For the local people, it is really meaningless.

However, Lehman does need it, and CAA has made enough efforts to ensure that the nomination is foolproof.

At the end of the year, I not only contacted Paramount Pictures to sell a thin noodle, but also contacted several theaters to re-launch the market for screening. In mid-January of the following year, I continued to spend money on the box office to increase The market data of "Bollywood" made the judges feel that the popularity of small-scale movies is still unabated.

And those mainstream film critics’ associations and award declarations have also spent a large sum of public relations fees, which has made the impression and reputation of "Three Fools in Bollywood" in the circle have been expanding in an orderly manner. And in the eyes of the members of the academy, they quietly left enough popular qualifications to become a strong competitor in the final contest.

Such a step-by-step process, and there are no unexpected factors to make him upset, it is a normal result to get the nomination.

In addition, "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood" is nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Photography. However, these two nominations are mostly technical and not the main campaign of the PR team behind Lehman. aims.

However, to win three nominations, it is clear that the film is not bad in the eyes of the judges.

And this year’s Oscar’s biggest hot spot is undoubtedly "Chicago", which is nominated for a total of 12 items, and in addition to the best actor, it contains all the hot awards.Harvey-Weinstein's execution at the Oscars can be described as strong.
