760 - Shocking Eyeballs
Wayne has long been no longer an optional little person. If time goes back five years, even if he does not attend any event and is only immersed in his work, no one will notice him.
To this day, if he is said to be insignificant, he is definitely covering his ears with garlic.
Since the name Wayne Greenberg has been called the Hollywood director representative in the 1990s, from the moment he has been called the Hollywood directors' representative, whether it is his own influence or the film capital represented by him, he is destined to have become a mountain in the industry.
There is another very important point. The Academy has not deliberately suppressed him, and even gave Wayne the most solemn treatment in the past thirty years.
No matter from any angle, he had no reason to pretend to be dead and was absent at the biggest party in Hollywood.
The North American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences will one day become a college of Wayne and his generation. Of course, no matter how the times progress, when Wayne and his friends become a bad old man, their taste will inevitably be biased towards the movies of their youth, just like the old men now like the tastes of the movies of the 1960s and 1970s.
The overall evaluation of this year's Oscars tends to be plain, and the main reason is that they lack enough heavyweight works. Although films including "Shapes' Love History", "Truemon's World", "Beautiful Life" have received a lot of praise from the critics, they can never hide the weakness of these films in box office performance.
From this point of view, Steven Spielberg's "Save Private Ryan" has become one of the few public concerns.
Originally, Wayne's "The Flash" was destined to be one of the masterpieces that attracted attention, but after the nominee luncheon, everyone knew very well that this year's Oscars had basically nothing to do with Wayne. I'm afraid even the academy would not expect to rely on "The Flash" to attract ratings.
On the surface, the academy has always emphasized "film art", but in fact, they understand better than anyone else that films without a considerable box office basis will naturally lack the attention of the audience. And all "art movies" compete on the Oscars' highest stage, and the biggest impact is the Oscar ratings.
Since the 1990s, the Oscar stage has been a fight between gods. To count the major winners in those years, which one has earned enough public attention before he gained the Little Golden Man?
This year, it seems that I have suddenly entered another extreme, and I have not achieved good market results at all, but also have enough films in "film art".
The college has always not needed such films to win awards. However, the college needs such films to compete on the Oscar stage.
Whether it is "Titanic", "Forrest Gump", "Brave Heart" and "Schindler's List", these popular and popular films have never lacked enough competitors before becoming the big winners of the Oscars of that year.
Among the five works that were shortlisted for the Best Picture this year, "Save Private Ryan" is just about the box office results. However, because of some forward-looking and indescribable reasons, the performance of this film at this year's Oscars is not favored by the senior management of the academy.
Wayne, the synonym for the past "business achievements" and "art pursuit", withdrew from the center of the competition early this year, and many people who understand it already knew that when Wayne got everything he wanted in "The Walker of the Skies", he turned around and began to focus on the comic adaptation of the movie. In recent years, he had completely given up the competition for awards.
Many mainstream entertainment media in North America generally believe that this Oscar will become the most unpredictable since the 1990s.
In this context, the college requires Wayne and others to attend as promised. The college is never a college with one person. The scene of the shining stars of Hollywood is never created by a single person. There is some tacit understanding that you must abide by when you reach that position.
The award ceremony is near. Even though this year's Oscar is considered to be plain by the media, they still have no intention of letting go of popular candidates, especially in some awards that are prone to "big news".
Coincidentally, no matter which Oscar it is, the Best Actress is the most likely to have "eye-hit" incidents and is also the most competitive award. Although it seems that the more important honors such as Best Film are more important than Best Film in terms of status. However, in terms of the cruelty of the competition, the Best Actress has always been the first.
Various Oscar-looking reports, Cate Blanchett's call for Best Actress in TV shows is very high, even higher than Meryl Streep, who is known for his acting skills.
The reason is very simple. Due to the timing and film release nodes, Cate Blanchett held two films in his hand, "Yin Lisabeth" and "Shapes' Love History". Although the box office of these two films was not very good, many movie fans said that they had never entered the theater to watch one of them, but in the professional comment circle, her performance has gained a lot of recognition, especially her wonderful performance in "Yin Lisabeth".
As for "Shapes' Love History", it has to be different from one's own opinion. After all, acting has always been very subjective.
It is also here that makes people laugh and cry. It is obvious that her performance in "Yin Lisabeth" is perfect, but the production company of "Yin Lisabeth" is a TV station owned by Time Warner and has no intention of experiencing public relations for the film.
On the other hand, another mixed-reported "Shapes' Love History", performed well throughout the awards season. In private, countless people in the circle speculated that Harvey Weinstein went crazy this year because of the failure of "The Dog in the Water" and the failure of "The Patient in the British" the year before last.
Not to mention the expenses spent in secret, the lobbying funds invested by this fat man on the surface have been about 7 million US dollars! Such a number is completely unimaginable in this era.
But a small number of people knew very well that the stingy fat man had the ability to play so big this time because there was a good person behind him who was not short of money.
Moreover, these people who know the facts are looking forward to the fat man Harvey Weinstein, who will fail again at the Oscars. They are all disgusted with the unscrupulous gold and dollar strategy, as well as the unlimited smear and dirty water methods of Harvey Weinstein.
The darker thoughts are not non-existent. Even these people want to know whether Harvey Weinstein had not got what he wanted after singing so many beautiful swords. The "dark tyrant" who had been looming behind him would have squeezed out the fat on his body afterwards.
That is, two days before the official Oscar was held, a voice suddenly came from the college, claiming that the college will carry out reforms toward younger age, especially invisible discrimination against young people, which is the key direction of reforms toward youth.
The reform of Oscar's youthfulness is likely to start from this session.
When this news appeared, many media suspected that this was a trick used by the School of Film Arts and Sciences to attract public attention to the Oscars.
But even if the college’s unspoken denial of the outside spokesperson cannot change the fact that this year’s Oscar suddenly heated up and began to cause a wave of discussions across North America.
"Just listen to what the old men in the academy said. In fact, compared to the youthful reforms they shouted, the smell of farting was not as strong as the smell of farting."
Sitting under the awning outside the red carpet of Dorothy Chandler Hall, Wayne waved to stop Cameron Diaz from tidying up his collar. He glanced at the densely packed fans and reporters on both sides of the red carpet, and curled his lips to Tom Cruise next to him:
"Tom, don't be too concerned about the so-called youthful reform. Believe me, unless all the old guys die one day, your handsome face is their greatest discrimination against you."
On the afternoon of March 21, 1999, Pacific time, the 71st Oscars officially began amid all kinds of rumors. Wayne's female companion Naomi Watts, who attended the official occasion, was also absent for the first time because of filming "King Kong" in New Zealand.
However, the reporters became excited. When he walked into the temporary waiting area built by the organizer, many reporters clearly saw that not only was Naomi Watts following Wayne, but instead, Cameron Diaz, who was ridiculed at the Golden Globes.
All the reporters' eyes were all on Wayne, who was wearing a black tie dress, and Cameron Diaz, who was wearing a red low-cut dress, completely ignoring Zach Schneider who got out of the same car as them.
"Hey, damn, you extinguished the fire of hope that I just ignited."
Tom Tom smiled and waved his hand. Obviously, he had never believed in the so-called reform of youth in his heart. In fact, even if this so-called youth is real, what can it be like? Will the old men behind Oscar give him a movie hero Little Golden Man because of "Mission Impossible"?
"Tom, do you really care so much about that little golden man?" Wayne asked casually with a frown.
"Well, everyone in this circle..." Tomko Hanhu said. "Will anyone not care about the little golden man?"
Although he said this, Wayne was very sure that Tom Cruise was not stupid at all. The other party knew his position in the circle too well. Perhaps Tom really wanted the actor Xiao Jinren, but he never tried to make some irrational efforts because of his desire.
In the past three years, the video that the other party can make is still "Mr. Sweetheart" three years ago. In recent years, it can be said that the evergreen among the Hollywood top star has the main job of wrestling Paramount.
Now it seems that this battle between superstars and production companies should have achieved a result that is acceptable to both parties. Otherwise, the second part of "Mission: Impossible" will not begin.
"Pretend to be ugly."
He raised his wrist and looked at the time, and Wayne still whispered a shortcut idea. "Only by playing ugly in an extremely huge contrast, you will have the chance to get the damn little golden man. Apart from that, I can't think of any other better way."
In fact, there is another more traditional way, which is to persevere. Yes, the qualifications of a top superstar like Tom Cruise will definitely be expressed in the end, but in that case, the Little Golden Man will never be able to think about in the past two years.
Tom Cruise had thought of trying this method, but whenever he thought about the consequences of doing so, he gave up. Faced with Wayne's idea, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's not worth the loss."
This is where Tomko is smart. In the 1990s, the appeal of Hollywood superstars reached its peak. Even a movie was just in the preparation period. As long as a first-line star like Tomko joined, they could sell overseas sales rights in advance, which shows that they themselves have an influence on the publisher.
Tom Cruise is a typical example. It can be said that no one knows better than him that his face is a blessing for his career.
It’s easy to say that he is ugly. As long as he thinks, some art film directors are willing to give some scripts rich in "artistic". This type of film is very cheap and the shooting cycle is not too long.
But what afterwards? Let’s not talk about whether he can get the expected results at the Oscars. The screen image he relies on for survival is likely to be ruined. Don’t think that North American movie fans in the 1990s were as open and rational as they were twenty years later, with the strongest star appeal, and it was also the blindest era for chasing stars.
Wayne spread his hands and shrugged, not continuing on this topic. Seeing that the time was almost over, he nodded and signaled, took Cameron Diaz and Zach Schneider and walked towards his car.
"I don't want to make it to the front page of tomorrow, but I'll be the background board."
Zach Schneider complained helplessly, standing there without moving. "Boss, I'll go in through the employee passage later."
"Okay, let it be."
As the Oscar countdown in the 1990s, the college’s original intention should be to hold this Oscar into a grand event. However, the various media reports before the award ceremony may make the college’s face-saving project less interesting.
But no matter what, the Oscars are still the most marketing award ceremony nowadays. This title ensures that it will not lack too much attention.
Regardless of whether the organizer intentionally made arrangements or coincidences, Wayne got out of the car and led Cameron Diaz onto the red carpet, and found that the previous one was Cate Blanchett.
When the alternative cry sounded and the fans shouted his name loudly, Wayne still maintained his rhythm of walking on the red carpet without any impact at all, and his steps were still strode towards the interview area at the end of the red carpet.
Embarrassing things will always come. As the Oscar red carpet is the stage for female celebrities to compete for beauty, Cate Blanchett is walking very slowly. She stopped frequently and put on different styles for the media reporters on one side to shoot. Not long after, Wayne and the other behind were almost caught up with her.
That's it. At the 71st Academy Awards Ceremony, the first scene that shocked everyone's attention came.
When Cate Blanchett saw the two people walking, he raised a slight undetectable curve at the corner of his mouth, so he simply stood there waiting for the two people behind him. Then, in the disbelief of countless movie fans and media reporters, he took Wayne's left arm and walked towards the end of the red carpet with Cameron Diaz on the other side of the man.
It can be seen that both Wayne and Cameron Diaz were obviously stiff for a moment.
"God, Wayne is simply my idol in life!"
"f**k, damn bi**h, let go of Wayne's arm..."
"Hey, hey, look here, Mr. Greenberg."
The chaotic shouts of the movie fans and the extremely excited shouts of reporters, all of which came into Wayne's ears. He suddenly grinned and didn't care about these sounds at all. He walked towards the end of the red carpet at a faster speed.
At the same time, he asked helplessly: "Shit, what benefits did the academy give you, so that you can create news for Oscars without any regard for your face. Dear Ms. Blanchett?!"
"If I say, they promised to give me a movie queen, Little Golden Man..."
Keeping a smile on his face, Cate Blanchett directly ignored Cameron Diaz's eyes in resentment and whispered: "Dear, do you believe it?"
