"Congratulations, Mr. Greenberg."

"Thanks."

"Congratulations, Director Greenberg."

“…”

A large conference room on the 7th floor of Warner Bros. Building was temporarily converted into a screening room. From the beginning of entering, Wayne kept congratulating him. In addition to the staff of Warner Bros., there were also film watching experts from the Imperial Cinema, AMC and American Artist Cinema chain.

More than half a month has passed since Fendy was born. In addition to occasionally going to the studio's post-production studio to check the progress of his work, he accompanied Naomi Watts at home for the first time to watch the 68th Academy Awards ceremony this year.

At 6 p.m. on March 25, 1996, the Academy Awards were held in Dorothy Chandler Hall in Los Angeles. As an audience perspective, watching the biggest Hollywood show from TV gave Wayne a very different feeling.

In his eyes, this year's Oscar is full of pork splits. I'm afraid the only surprise that leaves people is that Whoopi Goldberg was invited back by the college and served as the host of the party for the second time.

Paramount finally got what he wanted. With 10 nominations, "Brave Heart" won five Little Golden Man including Best Picture, Best Director, Music Editing, Photography and Makeup. Mel Gibson was also very excited and stood on the podium twice.

If you only see this, they are definitely the biggest winners at this Academy Awards Ceremony, and they are far from talking about the meaning of pork splitting.

But something shocking is still behind. The old men from the School of Film Arts and Sciences did not even give this film a performance award, which made "Brave Heart" awkward and became the ninth film in history that did not have any nominations for actors but won the best film.

Judging from the normal mindset, this is simply not true. Since the actors' performances are not the best in this year, why is the film the best? I'm afraid even the 45 million North American audience sitting in front of the TV can see this contradictory thing.

The only reason is to divide pork, the old tricks of the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences, and the art of balance.

Other award-winning films include two award-winning Apollo 13, Pokémon, Love in Troubled and Extremely Suspects, One-winning Anne Frank Remembers, The Antonia Family, Baby Pigs, Super Invincible Master Dog: The Ringer Edge, The Postman, Leaving Las Vegas, Lieberman in Love, Non-Strong Aphrodisiac, Memories of a Survivor and Sense and Emotion.

After watching the whole party, it gives people the feeling that it is raining and dew. Not only Wayne has the feeling, but also watching Mira Sorvino, who won the film's best actor for "Death-Based Walk" and the Australian actress who is full of envy, all feel that the Oscars are getting older.

Objectively speaking, in recent years until the beginning of the two thousand years, there were surprises in the Oscars ceremony, but inevitably became more conservative. Even if the ratings of this grand event gradually declined, it did not make much change the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences.

If we look at it from another perspective, Oscars have become more and more conservative and very consistent with the law of time. Most of the members who have voting rights are joined in the golden age of Hollywood movies, while the members of the academy are lifelong.

In the hearts of these older men, the best and favorite movie types are naturally the 1960s and 1970s that they are in deep memory.

It was Harvey Weinstein who saw through this and made black and white films, singing and dancing films and other works in a straightforward way to please the old men. In addition, with the public relations methods with a low bottom line, he would always get the desired results.

As time slowly passed, the newly joined members of the academy did not threaten the votes of the old men. Their tastes could be said to have almost not changed, and they were still in the golden age in their memory.

Don’t think that it’s okay to endure these people to death. When this group of people gradually withdraw from the stage of power, Wayne and the so-called new generations naturally have their ages into middle-aged and elderly people. Faced with the new things that may appear, they will only become more conservative. In fact, everything has not changed. This is an unsolvable cycle.

This year's Oscar Wayne has not received any nominations, and even the best adapted script that has not been broken in previous years has not been conducted in any public relations activities. This year his purpose is to not fight or rush to regain his strength. Next year, this is his main battlefield.

Faced with the invitation from the college, I also refused on the grounds that I wanted to accompany my newborn daughter. This is an excuse that people can't make up for. On this land, no matter what kind of bastard is, even if you are drunk, drug, private life, smoking leaf cigarettes or even smoking powder-like contraband, as long as you mention your family in public, all this is irrelevant.

Family is the unchanging value of this country on the surface, and it is the only reason to reject all openness, although he has never planned to get married with an Australian actress.

"The theater alliance does not trust Zach Schneider. They were not invited to this internal preview, but after learning the news, they strongly asked to watch the film in advance."

Bruce Rosenblum walked to the first row, sat next to Wayne, and tilted his head and whispered to explain the reason why the outsider appeared behind him.

He didn't say anything thoroughly, but I believe the young people around him could think that the theater alliance did this and expressed dissatisfaction. Some time ago, Warner Bros. played a big production collision plan, and it was quite unhappy with these companies.

Turning his head and looking back, Wayne found that the three major theaters sent this time were almost all familiar faces, which shows that the few of them were all senior film watching experts.

"They plan to catch Zach off guard? The media preview of "The Matrix" should be scheduled at the end of the month. Now this film is not yet completed. Not only has the opening and ending animation not been added, but the soundtrack is also temporarily added, and there is a very high possibility that it will need to be modified."

This was originally just a simple internal preview, used to inspect the effect of Warner Bros., but now everything has changed due to the arrival of these people.

After Zach Schneider finished the film, Wayne had already watched it in the playroom. Apart from several soundtrack issues, it is still unclear, and the completion of the film is very high.

If these people really have other purposes, he bet that this film will blind the eyes of film selection experts. "The Matrix" seems to be all produced by Zach Schneider, but the framework is not out of his control at all.

Whether it is shooting requirements, editing special effects, etc., everything is like a framework propositional essay. Because it is the first time director, in order to ensure the probability of success, all the work he has done has not dared to break away from this so-called circle.

On the surface, the director is a novice, but in fact, his work and requirements are more meticulous. He was explained clearly before the crew went to Australia.

"Wayne, congratulations."

While he was talking to Bruce Rosenblum in a low voice, film director Zach Schneider, wearing a loose suit, sat next to the two. "You know, I was being held up by the nervous work progress, and the news was seen in the newspaper a few days later."

"It's okay, Zach." Wayne showed an encouraging smile. This is his own person who really came out of his team. His expectations for him are far more than that. "When I've been busy during this period, I will hold a party in the manor to celebrate the arrival of Fendi, and we'll get together at that time."

"No problem, I will choose a special gift for our little princess."

Zach Schneider nodded, knowing that as long as this kind of party invites him, he will still be the person in the other party's eyes. One thing that is undeniable is that the other party is his biggest backer in the circle.

Stop talking, let's leave Wayne Greenberg, unless Warner Bros. gets his head twitched, will he be a novice in the big-time science fiction film like "The Matrix" choose him?

At exactly 10 o'clock in the morning, the staff pulled all the curtains in the conference room and turned off the lights in the house. An old projector clicked and cast a colorful light on the curtain at the front of the conference room.

Wayne ended his greetings with Zach Schneider. Although he had watched it once, he still focused on the upcoming film. He was not worried about the film selection experts behind him because he had enough confidence in the film.

At the same time as the film began, he muttered softly. "Let you see what a science fiction film that can be called a film history..."

From the very beginning, he knew that human energy was limited, and no director who was crazy about his work could make all the good movies.

Since this movie that has been talked about more than 20 years later, I have no choice but to do it and have no time to produce it, so I might as well make the assistant director who has followed him for three years. What is rare is that the production style of this assistant director has been trained by him, which can be said to be in line with each other.

Everyone has selfishness. Wayne's selfishness is that even if this movie is not made by him, it will be deeply imprinted by Greenberg. No matter how many years have passed, people will never be able to bypass his name when talking about this great science fiction series.

Because there was no opening, the film simply entered the theme. The first thing that caught my eye was the green code that kept floating by. In the confused eyes of few viewers, the character dialogue suddenly appeared.

"Are everything ready?"

"Isn't it your turn to be on duty today?"

"l know, I'm just preparing to take over."

"You like him, right? You always like to look at him."

"Don't be stupid, we'll kill him! You know?!"

"Merphes believes he is the savior!"

"Do you believe it?"
