Chapter 1213 Business posture
Positive, enthusiastic and straightforward.
At least, this is the attitude Eve shows when facing the media. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Anson is very much looking forward to the Grammys.
However, when Eve was interviewed, the reporter was absolutely unwilling to miss the opportunity for a head-to-head confrontation, and directly asked the question about Oscar.
"Oscar?"
Eve smiled.
"Of course, that is an important stage that every actor longs to be on, but we all know that not just any actor can attend."
"I think Anson still needs to continue to work hard. Let's look forward to next year? There should be a chance next year. After all, as the saying goes, it can only take three things."
Low-key, humble and polite.
Eve's answer was impeccable, putting Anson in a low-profile position. Everything was just as the academy expected——
Since you look down on Anson and even despise Anson, then we will cooperate with the performance and lower our profile, as if we can't reach the Oscar.
Now, the media is in a frenzy.
If Anson can't climb high, then no one in Hollywood can climb high now. From movies to music, from fashion trends to cultural trends, Anson is sweeping across today's entertainment industry. His powerful influence has exceeded the scope of words, and he is well-deserved. The first person.
If we talk about the Oscar statuette, it is debatable whether Anson can win it, but when it comes to the award ceremony, there is no suspense. It is not that Anson needs the Oscars now, but the Oscars need Anson.
Eve's words were absolutely heartbreaking and pushed the academy into an embarrassing position.
The college needs to respond as soon as possible.
However, Eve is strategizing and the game has already begun. How can he let the college escape the predicament easily?
The whole of Hollywood is fawning and frightened when facing the Academy, including Eve. After all, this is the highest palace of the entire industry, and everyone longs for a statuette.
Until Anson points out an obvious truth——
The academy is not an abstract authoritative concept, but a group of people.
Below are the judges and above are the management. They are all human beings. In the final analysis, college public relations is still a game between people.
What's more, the academy has a long and deep-rooted history of prejudice and discrimination against high-profile actors. Anson has always followed the rules of the game to please and lick the academy, which will only fuel their arrogance, make them look down on Anson even more, and stuff Anson into the stereotype. , Anson may need ten, twenty, or even longer years to integrate into the academy and finally win recognition.
In the end, "We evolved into what we once most hated and despised." These are Anson's original words.
In Anson's view, if he can be recognized by the Oscar, he will happily accept the honor and praise, and will not reject it with dignity; but if in order to get this recognition, he needs to change himself and then grovel, he believes No need——
"Do you think I need a statuette to recognize my success? Without this statuette everything I have achieved so far would be meaningless? Hey, Eve, I'm not that naive."
Therefore, instead of complying with the college's rules of the game and then being recruited by the college and becoming a member of the college, it is better to be bold and play the game according to your own rules. The college has been in a stagnant state for half a century. Now is the time to inject Some new blood.
Eve suddenly woke up. If this is the case, it means that the academy can also be conquered. Obviously, they are not a monolithic whole.
Moreover, the academy is also eager for change and progress. The stubborn, decaying system will eventually become a counterattack force.
So why can't they take advantage of it and make it lively?
What's the worst outcome?
Will Oscar ban Anson permanently? Is this fundamentally different from the prejudice and discrimination we see before us?
It seems... not even. Sure enough, Anson was Anson, not only different, but also lawless and bold, and he came out of the blue to completely disrupt the entire Hollywood.
Eve likes it, she likes clients like this who allow her to let her hands and feet go and make trouble.
Now that Anson said this, Eve's courage began to grow, and her subsequent attacks became obviously sharper.
Tom Hanks was the first to speak out. The good old man would not attack the academy, but he said with a cheerful smile, "Obviously everyone wants to see Anson, even me."
A small stone soon caused ripples.
Steven Spielberg, "Huh? Won't Anson attend the awards ceremony? Isn't that kid looking for an excuse to be lazy? You media are making trouble for him again, right?"
Unlike Tom, Steven showed a sense of matter-of-factness in his words, joking with reporters, as if Anson's absence from the Oscars was impossible.
Even Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of "Fashion" who has always been low-key and mysterious, rarely said at Paris Fashion Week, "I am still looking forward to Anson Wood."
"I'm curious whether his Oscar look this year can bring popularity again. Dior is good, but without Anson, Dior still lacks soul."
Movies, music, fashion——
Now everyone is alive, and the entire entertainment industry is paying attention in all directions.
Kate Winslet, Sam Raimi, Charlie Kaufman, James Franco, Jay Leno, and Anne Hathaway all mentioned this matter on different occasions. Although the content is different, the subtext is the same:
Anson's absence from the Oscars is Oscar's loss.
Little by little, momentum gathered like this.
Originally, the general public was looking forward to Anson's attendance at the Oscars. The only topical figure that can compete with Johnny Depp at the moment is Anson. It is unimaginable what it would be like if Anson was absent from the awards ceremony.
Now, people in the Hollywood industry are also making their voices heard. This topic is spreading to Hollywood in a mighty way. The Academy must pay attention to it even if it doesn't want to, and it is getting more and more serious.
The situation developed rapidly, and the college was suddenly pushed into an embarrassing position.
Frustrated. Uncomfortable.
The Academy felt that there was a trend of forcing the actress to have an abortion, and the whole of Hollywood seemed to be forcing and threatening the Academy. This feeling was too uncomfortable; but the problem was that they really needed Anson, and the original plan also included Anson.
In this current situation, the college has become reluctant and reluctant, and a rebellious mentality has arisen. It simply shuts down Anson and makes Anson understand who is the boss!
But, is this really good?
The college management was put on the fire.
Despite being aggrieved and depressed, the college finally figured out that there were a lot of adults, and they did not care about Anson, an ignorant vase. They showed their tolerance and magnanimity, calmed down the storm, and let Anson see their magnanimity.
Take a deep breath, the college responds promptly——
Bah bah bah, warmly welcome Anson Wood as this year's award guest, bah bah, we look forward to Anson Wood shining at the award ceremony.
At the end of a bunch of nonsense, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences took a stance and tried to calm the debate.
So, how did Anson respond?
