"Gotham Independent Film Awards, Golden Satellite Awards, and Anne Awards have all sent me invitations."

With December ending and January 1998, North America's annual awards season began to enter its most lively stage again. After the chat time passed, Jimmy opened her black briefcase and took out a stack of invitations of different shapes and colors.

The agent fiddled with invitation letters one by one, looking at Wayne and continued, "More than that, there are more than a dozen award ceremony in all of them, and they have sent you invitation letters."

While speaking, he put seven or eight special invitation letters on the coffee table in front of his client, shrugged and said, "These are what the organizers have already suggested. As long as you attend the award ceremony in person, "Batman: The Dark Knight" will gain something."

Similar things happen in the entertainment industry around the world, and Hollywood is of course no exception. Awards ceremony also requires exposure to attract sponsors and advertisers. Some smaller awards ceremony naturally need to try their best to invite celebrities to attend.

Even some awards that have always been upholding fairness in the eyes of the public, but still cannot escape this rule.

"besides."

Jimmy took advantage of Wayne and Naomi Watts to look at the invitation he picked, pursed his lips, and continued to say on his own. "The Hollywood Directors Union, the Producers Union and the Actors Union, these three union awards, and "Batman: The Dark Knight" have very good prospects for winning. I suggest you pay attention to it appropriately. If possible, start a relationship and fight for it.

By the way, there are also the three major film critics association awards in Los Angeles, New York and other places. I personally recommend that you fight for it. Whether you have gained anything at the Oscars or not, or even whether we should participate in public relations, you must try your best to win the above most professional awards in the industry!"

After the awards season begins, the entire North America will be involved in awards ceremony of all sizes, and the awards selected by Jimmy and specially advised are the most authoritative and professional awards in the circle.

Especially the awards within the various unions of Hollywood are almost the well-known Oscar outposts, because most of the guild members who selected these awards also serve as members of the academy and also have the right to vote for each Oscar award.

They will vote in the union selection, which means that they will most likely not change their choices in the next Oscar voting choice.

"I have told Jeff that we will give up this year's Oscars."

Kacha, Wayne lit a cigarette, glanced at Naomi Watts, whose face was full of creative scenery, and said directly to the agent: "This year we can say we have no desires and no desires. Your preparations seem to be wasted."

“no.”

Jimmy shook her head firmly, put away the smile on her face, looked at her client seriously, and said, "It's better we participate if we can, and don't give the college a signal to give up..."

"Hey, hey, Jimmy, listen to me."

Before the agent could finish his speech, Wayne reached out and knocked on the coffee table a few times, interrupting the other party. "I have to be busy with the post-production of "The Flash", and I have to keep an eye on the editing of "X-Men". Even if I still have the energy, I have to care about the progress of "Charlie's Angels" film. So, do you think I still have time to attend these awards ceremony?"

Seeing that there is less than a month left, he must start first and cut a trailer of about thirty seconds for "The Flash" to put it on the Super Bowl midfield show.

"X-Men" has also entered the final work. In order to ensure that the direction of the film is not incorrect, he must also take time to go to the Fox later studio from time to time, and in addition, "The Matrix: Matrix Revolution" and "Charlie's Angels" that need attention, he is not allowed to attend various awards ceremony in terms of time.

"Don't worry, listen to me."

He spread his hands helplessly, and Jimmy's face was still serious and looked at his client. "You have been too busy for a while and have ignored too many things. I got some news that in order to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of North American films, the college will select a 100-year-old movie this year.

Compared with the Oscars, this year's selection of the top 100 movies may have a greater impact. Moreover, Wayne and the Oscars are held every year, and the Little Golden Man is also giving away in batches every year, but the opportunity to select the top 100 movies in the past few decades has only been once!"

“f**k! One hundred years and one hundred years..."

The agent said that Wayne leaned on the sofa, raised his hand and slapped his thighs, muttering to himself.

When he was still on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, he had heard of this, but compared to the various movie lists on the Internet in later generations, there were not many occasions when mentioning the "Top 100 Years and One Hundred Years" and people would rather believe in the top 250 must-see movie list because this list does not have a strong presence on the Internet.

In 1998, in order to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of North American films, the North American Film Society selected more than 400 classic films recommended. Combined the voting of academic, production industry and ordinary audiences, the representative works of North American films over the past 100 years were selected.

After this list came out, it occupied a very important position in the hearts of countless die-hard movie fans and professionals in the industry for a long time. Obviously, if you want to reflect the quality of a director, you have to see if his works are in the most authoritative list, and how many of them have been selected.

It is worth mentioning that Steven Spielberg was selected for five movies in this list, and Hitch Kirk also selected four movies, which shows how fierce the competition for the position of this list is.

"You have to show your influence!"

Jimmy listened to her upper body and stared at her client. "Wayne, in fact, for you, it is a natural weakness in this regard. Because you are too young, you must always show your influence and remind those people of your existence through the media."

Young age is often the advantage of Chilolo. Young age means countless possibilities in the future. But in Hollywood, young age is an invisible disadvantage in many aspects.

Almost everyone in the circle knows that Oscars are invisible discrimination against age. Young age means being ignored in award selection, whether it is an actor or a director. For the selection of the top 100 movies in the past, young age is also an invisible disadvantage.

Because of his age, it means that his career is still very short. Compared with the old foxes who have been in the circle for decades, it is naturally much worse. Even if Wayne is a fast gunner, he cannot make up for the disadvantages brought by time.

Obviously, what they can make up for is to find ways to remind those people at all times and use quality to impact other people's quantity.

"No matter how you choose, there is no need to argue about the first place." Jimmy recalled and analyzed carefully. "No movie can kill "Citizen Kane" and get the first place, so what we have to strive for is the second place! With the current popularity of "Batman: The Dark Knight", the main opponent is "The Godfather".

"And "The Joker"!"

Naomi Watts reminded: "The Joker, Batman: The Dark Knight, and even Escape from the Deadly Town have hope!"

Jimmy nodded. "Yes, Wayne, we have to find a way to fight for it."

The thing is very simple. Since it cannot be compared with those old fried dough sticks in terms of quantity, it can only start with quality. As long as the ranking is high enough, so that people who watch the list can discover his works at a glance. Who can deny his influence and his contribution to North American films?

"Nina, please help me arrange the time."

Wayne smiled, turned to look at the assistant lady, and ordered: "We will take time to participate in some necessary activities. We should just push all unnecessary invitations."

If you miss something like this, you will never get the chance. Of course, he doesn’t want to give up. If you can fight for it, you will fight for it. It’s better than regretting it when you look at the list in the future.

So, the time that was already quite tense was squeezed even harder. After the new week began, Wayne plunged into the post-production studio and started editing the "Flash". Just a few days later in January, the announcement of a special awards award nomination once again pushed him to the forefront of entertainment.

The Glady Awards, sponsored by the School of Recording Arts and Sciences of the North American Academy of Sciences, announced the list of all the shortlists this year. The most talked about by the public and the media is undoubtedly "Something just like this" sung by Wayne and George Lucas.

This song that moved the entire North America in 1997 was nominated for the song of the year by the organizer. What made countless people laugh was that the pair Wayne Greenberg and George Lucas were also nominated for the Best Newcomer in Glad America.

Although both awards belong to the Gelai American comprehensive award, this best newcomer seems to be the one who has inspired countless people to laugh. No one expected that the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the North American Academy of Sciences would suddenly play like this.

Undoubtedly, the announcement of this nomination list has won a lot of attention for Gelaimei this year, and the hot discussion on the topic is no longer limited to the music circle.

Almost on the day the list was announced, many well-known musicians expressed in the media that they were looking forward to being on the same stage with two world-class directors.

Even Will Smith, who had won the game in Gelai America, was interviewed by reporters as soon as possible. He said to the camera without hesitation that he hoped that Gelai America organizers would not let their brothers come back empty-handed, even if they were just a gramophone, even if they were the best newcomer.
