hollywood draw

After a few years, although Wayne did not like socializing, he also woven a wide enough relationship network in Hollywood because of his work. Even some core members of the academy have more or less dealt with.

Although this is the first time he has officially participated in the Oscars and the rough methods of imitating the fat man in his memory, he has achieved quite good results. It is not clear whether he can officially win the award. It is also unclear how many gold men he can get in the end, and which gold men he can get, but at least "The Walker of the Infinite" has been a great success in the nomination.

When the official nomination list was announced, Wayne's private phone rang almost all day long. From the core team members to Zach Schneider, who was filming "The Matrix" far away in Australia, even those actors with relatively familiar faces, all sent congratulations and blessings in a short time.

On the day the nomination list was announced, he temporarily took back his energy from the prize-winning campaign. According to the rules, some of the subsequent public relations lobbying work will be transferred underground. It is impossible to be as blatant as before. Bruce Rosenblum's team stared at this part, and he began to regain his energy while starting to tilt more energy to the later work of "The Dark Knight".

While staring at the later work in Warner Studios, Wayne's eyes did not completely leave Hollywood, which was as messy as porridge. The public relations team kept accumulating information and then communicated frequently with the assistant lady. Almost every one or two days, Bruce Rosenblum had to talk to him once or twice in person.

"Bruce, when necessary, can completely give up all the performance awards of "Walking Walker" and all the technical awards of "Walking Walker". We do our best to accumulate all resources on the best film and the best director."

As time slowly progressed, one afternoon at the end of February, Bruce Rosenblum, Jeff Robinoff, and Naomi Watts, who were holding the child, watched the second cut version of "The Dark Knight" together, Wayne talked about the getting closer and closer Oscars, and said to the Warner Bros. distribution director who was responsible for his public relations.

This statement seems a bit ruthless, but as we all know, even media groups like Warner Bros. cannot guarantee all nominated heavyweight awards, and public relations and media resources must be tilted.

Being able to say such words also represents Wayne's attitude towards the best director, Xiao Jinren. Obviously, he does not want any unexpected situations.

"No, Bruce."

Naomi Watts, who was standing by, said before without waiting for the other party to respond: "I think we can even give up the best film when necessary to ensure that we have the greatest confidence and competitiveness in the votes for the best director."

The woman's face was serious at this time, and obviously her thoughts were even more extreme than the one around her.

"Hey, relax, Nami."

He reached out his hand and gently squeezed one of the women's hands. Wayne shook his head funny. "We have a great grasp. You made me feel a sense of crisis like this."

"O God! How can you let me relax?"

Naomi Watts let go of his hand, raised his arm and patted his snow-white forehead. He didn't care about Little Fendi's curious eyes in his arms, and didn't care about the two Warner Bros. executives around him. He said directly: "We all know your work plan. This year is the best time for you to get the Little Golden Man. Otherwise, if you have this opportunity again next time, I don't know how many years will it take.

Do you really want to be given to you by the college as those old men thought, just as they were thinking, and by the college’s reliance on the college’s debauchery to you?”

Not to mention, such situations are actually not uncommon in the circle. Some directors have already filmed their own masterpieces when they were young, but they missed them because of age and other reasons. After all, the old men in the college don’t like young people, and this is well known in the circle.

In their eyes, they always feel that such a director will shoot better works in the next few years, and the facts will often be the opposite. For example, Martin Scorsese, no one can deny the greatness of his early films such as "Taxi Driver" and "Angry Bull", but when he finally won the Little Golden Man, it was almost thirty years later.

"Don't worry, once the situation changes, the best director is our bottom line and we will inevitably invest all resources." Bruce Rosenblum smiled and shook his head, leaned on the sofa and spoke:

"Nami, what you don't need to worry about is the option of the best director. Except for the fact that Wayne is a little too young, all other aspects are advantages. Well, it seems that he has praised enough points in the past few years."

There have been three nominations for Best Director, which provides the greatest help to make up for Wayne's lack of age. Another thing that is easy to ignore is that he once won the Little Golden Man. Although he is the best adapted script, this can also ensure in some respects that at least this time the academy will no longer use such a consolation prize to perfunctorily treat him.

Bruce Rosenblum deeply understands the way of public relations marketing. As the head of Warner Bros.'s publicity and distribution department, various publicity and marketing methods have almost been engraved in his blood. In fact, whether it is promotional and marketing for the film market or promotional awards for the Oscars, in fact, in addition to the slightly different rules of the game, there are many similarities between the two.

Especially the very important common point here is the collection of competitor information and the various means of how to calmly face competitors.

"Okay, let's talk about the serious business." The director of Warner Bros.'s distribution put away his smile and his eyes gradually became sharper. "During this period, based on the various information I have collected and the research efforts of various nominated companies, we actually have only two competitors that we need to take seriously."

As he said the studio's temporary director's office, the expressions of several people became formal. Everyone knew that the more critical the moment came, the more likely those competitors who had the hope of winning the award would be to jump over the wall and play some unconventional methods.

"Millamax's "British Patient" is produced and released. Don't underestimate the fat pig Harvey. He has been tossed by me for a while. Although he is running around to put out fires and dealing with various problems encountered by the crew, who knows whether he has made any moves in secret?

In terms of the type of the film, this film can be called a custom-made article for Oscars, with extremely retro shooting techniques, tireless long-shot narratives, and the story expressed in the film can be said to be the favorite things of the older judges.

Compared with your "The Walker of the Insular", the biggest advantage of this "British Patient" is not these, but a low enough box office result to completely stay away from the Oscar-spoken commercial attributes. Sometimes, people say that the films that the public cannot appreciate, the college judges prefer their artistic nature. Listen, this is not a joke, especially at this point in time."

In fact, from this point of view, there is nothing wrong with the old European film industry saying that Oscars are a watchword. The entire Oscar is full of commercial attributes, and even the exclusive broadcast rights of the awards ceremony were sold. Even the gift packages given to attend the Oscar ceremony also charged a large amount of advertising fees.

However, most members of the academy like to show off their artistic nature. The videos they like are those that the audience cannot understand. Although the Oscar Organizing Committee is shouting for reform every year, the facts are becoming more conservative. The ratings of the Oscars ceremony have decreased year by year after the turn of the century, which is the biggest proof.

In this grand event that all over North America pays attention to, the award-winning videos that the audience saw were actually all that they had never heard of, and it was difficult for people to continue watching this.

Wayne curled his lips and said, "But overall, it is difficult for "British Patient" to threaten us in heavyweight awards due to public relations funds and the troubles of Harvey Weinstein. It's better to keep a close eye on them."

He is actually quite afraid that the fat man gave up this Oscar because of Warner Bros. Struggle everywhere. If he can win the award with his own eyes, it will be the best ending of the game. Moreover, when he frees up his hands, he will definitely do something to Miramax. Of course, he is happy to squeeze the other party, but it does not mean that he will let the other party go easily.

"That's right." Bruce Rosenblum raised his eyebrows. Of course, he knew how much trouble the fat man had encountered. The same method was used by DreamWorks. DreamWorks relied on the capital accumulated by the three giants over the years and was very uncomfortable when used on Miramax.

"In fact, if we fail that Oscar night, we don't have to think that it must be the Coen brothers. Their "Fucking Furious" two years ago had a very terrifying number of praises among the film critics circle and a large number of members of the academy, and their two brothers have an advantage over you in terms of qualifications."

"Do we need to do something in advance?" Wayne murmured with his arms folded in front of his chest, squinted his eyes, and kept rubbing his chin with one hand. He was considering whether to manipulate the media to release some other party's black material before the vote count results came out.

As he learned before, no one can guarantee the ownership of those heavyweight little gold men. Even the Warner Brothers, who have the advantage at this moment, cannot do it. The Coen Brothers, just for this name, and no one dares to underestimate their influence on the Oscars.

"It's better not."

Bruce Rosenblum responded helplessly. The gold and dollar offensives they used during this period were actually constantly challenging everyone's patience and bottom line. As the advantageous side, the despicable means of discrediting competitors can actually play a very limited role and can easily arouse the common hatred of people in the large circle.

"We have a very big advantage, and being cautious is enough."
