Hollywood legendary director

The nomination list is the pass to enter 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 drawing votes.

Of course, public relations cost a lot of money. Just for this, it throws in more than 7 million US dollars, and there is no guarantee that it will be awarded.

After all, Oscars voted by secret ballot. It is impossible to say who the judges vote for and whether they are principled.

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

Lehman rushed to the Kodak Theater with Eva just after 5 o'clock.

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, Morgan Freeman.

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

As for Morgan Freeman, he came to speak enthusiastically after the greeting. In fact, the two have worked together twice, and recommended him to participate in "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow", which he usually contacts more.

"What are you doing lately?"

"Idle at home."

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

"There are a lot of them, but there are not many scenes, and some scripts are disappointed and I don't want to take them." Morgan Freeman smiled and said, "Mr. Rust, is there anything else that fits you?"

This is true.

Morgan Freeman can be regarded as the group of black actors who are in the early stages of the mix, but he is old, his acting is naturally narrow, and there are too many unreliable projects in Hollywood, he usually does not have too many options for acting.

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

The more cooperation, the more Lehman felt that this kind of old drama makes people happy.

Soon, it will be necessary to enter the field.

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

Even if it is a little nervous, the gait and posture are still great, but it is a little slow, pacing, pacing, and showing a charming smile from time to time.

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

After all, in recent times, Eva's appearance rate should not be too high, and naturally captured a large number of fans-young and beautiful, too charming.

Besides, isn't "Mist" still hanging in the theater, the popularity is not low.

Also, unknowingly, Eva has become so popular, Lehman sighed in his heart, and continued to walk the whole journey.

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 stay in your seat foolishly.

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

"Hello, Mr. Scorsese."

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

"Director Lyman, hello."

I'm definitely not familiar with it, but I have heard of it and know the name.

After a few words of greeting, Lyman moved to the next one.

"Miss Blanchett, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Luster, just call me by name."

Cate Blanchett was a little apprehensive, and said quickly: "I have watched every one of your movies, and I look forward to the opportunity to act in your play."

"It's easy to talk, you are a very good actor."

Lyman secretly looked at the representative of the Australian actress. Although he is not beautiful, he has a good temperament, not to mention his acting skills.

"I heard that Director Alessandro is asking you for a schedule?"

"Well, I'm thinking about it." Kate thought: "I have read the script, and it doesn't seem to be too brilliant."

She actually knew that "Tongtian Tower" was Lehman's investment in Firefly Pictures. The director mentioned it, so she followed the meaning and revealed some of her views - she really didn't like "Tongtian Tower" at first. Actresses with rich experience still have this judgment.

"But there is not little room for the role to play, and we are going to the three major European film festivals." Lehman hinted.

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

After the greeting, it also explained the idea of ​​the movie. After standing in the team for Alessandro, Lyman went round again to find an acquaintance, suddenly saw another one, and quickly stepped forward...

It is said that Xiao Lizi is another year of high spirits this year, and this product is not greasy yet, and the appearance is still online-no big belly, no beard, the head shape has been carefully managed, the temperament is outstanding, and the facial features are relatively soft. , I took the idol route, not a wild route.

Of course, he was definitely more handsome when he was young. He is now 31, a lot more mature, and he has faded away.But that face is worth 50 million at the box office--this kind of performance in a literary film can exceed 100 million, and the audience has to be convinced.

He saw Lehman, looked at it and laughed: "Director Lehman, I like your "Bad Guy" very much."

"Haha, I've long wanted to know you, I haven't had a chance."

"Too polite, it should be I haven't met you."

Xiao Li's enthusiasm is not a pretense. This guy really likes gangster movies like "Bad Guy", otherwise he won't work with Director Martin many times.

After some talk, there are more and more people in the Kodak Theater.

The nominated crews gathered together.

At this point, Lehman finished his communication before returning to his seat.

He saw Hilary Swank adjusting his breathing there, and sleeplessly joked: "Why, are you nervous?"

"Huh, it's kind of."

"Relax, I think you have a great chance of winning."

Hilary Swank smiled, but it couldn't be relieved.

She knows that this time she won the nomination for best actress, but she is competing with Annette Bening, Catalina Moreno, Kate Winslet and Aimeida Staunton.

It can be said that none of them are very weak, she is really not too sure.

Moreover, unlike the mentality of the nominees of the same crew, Lehman doesn't care much, he has it, and he doesn't; Morgan Freeman has been nominated for several supporting roles, and this time it is again, that's it; As for Eastwood, it’s even easier. Here at Oscars, he has participated for decades, and he has grown up almost with him. He has won awards as an actor, director, and producer. How can there be any sense of gain and loss...
