Chapter 1305 Just right
The Grammy effect is in full swing, spreading across the entire North American continent.
Oscar effect, everything is calm and calm, and calmness returns in the blink of an eye.
Logically speaking, the Oscars are behind and have just ended, so the discussion heat and topical effect should prevail. However, the Grammy Awards was already a full month ago, and the popularity has long since disappeared.
However, reality is different.
The news of the special deluxe version of the "Midnight Midnight" album and the digital audio source of "Another Light" have captured people's attention with overwhelming force, even on the single day of the Oscars.
Not to mention that after the Oscars, the band firmly occupied the front pages of major media on August 31st. Compared with the natural victory of "Lord of the Rings 3", Anson and the band have no end in sight. It’s something to watch.
College senior management: Frustrated.
The more the academy tries to get rid of Anson's existence and highlight its own status; the more it becomes involved in Anson's superstar storm, highlighting their embarrassing situation——
Even if the media did not deliberately create a tit-for-tat confrontation of "Anson VS Academy", the tension permeating the air in Hollywood is still gradually tightening.
No one can ignore Anson's presence, not even the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
So, what to do?
The top management of the college breathed heavily in their chests.
In fact, each of these old foxes is shrewder than the last. They all know that Anson and the college have no grievances, and there is no undying grudge between the two parties. As long as the college curls its fingers and shows off, Anson will be 100% ecstatic, like a big golden retriever. Come flying to show your goodwill.
Once he enters the game, what will happen to Anson?
Even Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks are the same. They must play this game according to the game and rules of the academy's public relations, and Anson is naturally no exception.
By then, the top management of the college will be able to reverse the situation and regain the initiative without any effort——
Desire, this is the key. As long as there is desire, it means that there is a handle. As long as there is a handle, it means that you can control it.
What's more, the academy has no reason to reject a topic like Anson's.
Back then, Woody Allen repeatedly rejected the Academy without giving an interview. Until the year before last, when this nerdy director appeared on the stage of the Oscars for the first time in his career for his beloved New York, the Academy was still open to him. , warmly welcome the arrival of Woody Allen.
As long as there is a topic and focus, Oscar will not refuse.
The reason is as simple as: profit.
The awards ceremony requires ratings, advertising sponsors and traffic. After more than ten years of commercial development, the Oscars are not that simple now.
In other words, it should be a win-win situation for Oscar and Anson to cooperate.
However, the college refused——
I can't swallow this breath.
Anson, not Woody Allen.
Although Oscar needs Anson, but...really? Does Anson really have such a level of appeal?
The stubborn old academics at the college were blinded, looking at the elephant in the room but still stubbornly looking for "where is the elephant?"
In fact, looking at it from another angle, it can also be understood that the college needs an excuse and a step up. They can't just lick their faces and support Anson's smelly feet, right?
The group of old white men with an average age of over sixty firmly rejected such an embarrassment and would rather starve to death than complain. Anyway, there is still a full year until next year's Oscars, so they can wait patiently and see:
Who knows? Maybe this year, Anson made two consecutive and three consecutive attacks. As fast as he rose to prominence, he fell to the street as fast as he did. In the blink of an eye, he might have fallen to the 18th line and disappeared from Hollywood's horizons?
Just in time, the opportunity is right in front of you, right?
"Warmth contains light".
If "Nuan Nuan Inner Light" is not enough, there will be a much-anticipated "Spider-Man 2" in the summer release.
Two years ago, "Spider-Man" was so brilliant, and now "Spider-Man 2" carries so much expectation and pressure. What people are looking forward to is not just a commercial blockbuster that will succeed at the box office, but a work that will win at the box office - —
Even if it can't surpass "Spider-Man", at least it shouldn't be too inferior.
The expectations were far beyond imagination.
However, from the perspective of the academy’s senior management: It’s okay, doesn’t “Spider-Man 2” have Anson? If Anson is really a superstar, wouldn't it be natural to punch Leonardo DiCaprio, kick Johnny Depp, overtake Tom Cruise and Will Smith in an all-round way, and once again write great box office results? ?
"Anson, you can do it, we believe in you!"
What's more, if "Spider-Man 2" cannot surpass the glory of its predecessor, it doesn't matter. After all, not all sequel movies can write miracles. Not every movie can be like "Alien 2" and "Terminator 2". It surpassed the box office of the first part of the series, right?
Don't be sad, don't be depressed, you can always believe that "warmth contains light", isn't it?
Some people may say that "Warmth and Light" is a screenplay by Charlie Kaufman, and the box office of this weird screenwriter's career has never exceeded the threshold of 20 million US dollars. It is expected that this movie will achieve box office success. , unrealistic, right?
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
College senior: Haha, you say it as if I care.
Indeed, the North American box office of a work written by Charlie Kaufman has never exceeded 20 million US dollars, but this time "Warmth and Light" is different, starring two "superstars" Anson Wood and Kate Winslet With the leading role, shouldn't the final box office results be easy to write a good record?
Academy executive: Look, we are all civilized people. We all have to present facts and reason. We will not make trouble unreasonably. We hope that the North American box office of "Nuan Nuan Contains Light" can easily exceed 300 million US dollars like "Spider-Man". Then This is the behavior of barbarians. How could the academy be so rude?
But at least 50 to 100 million US dollars shouldn’t be a problem, right?
After all, it was Anson, superstar Anson! Is this just a basic requirement?
Has the media forgotten?
Before the release of "The Butterfly Effect", people were generally not optimistic about good movies that would explode at the box office. The mainstream view in Hollywood was that Anson needed to continue to settle and accumulate for a while. The real explosion would still have to be seen in "Spider-Man 2", or "Nuan Nuan" at the earliest. "Light within"——
Now that "Warm and Containing Light" is here, isn't it natural that expectations are rising?
Suddenly, the whole of Hollywood was filled with such a subtle atmosphere——
On the surface, it looks like praise, but underneath it is still condescending contempt and provocation. He sets up difficult problems and benchmarks and requires Anson to constantly complete them. Only in this way can he be reluctant to give recognition.
In fact, a similar atmosphere prevails not only among the top management of the academy, but also within the film company.
Sony Colombia was the first to bear the brunt of the incident, with an attitude of joy and anticipation. However, the smiles hidden behind the applause and whistles were like gloating at a good show.
Everything came at just the right time, "Nuannuan Containing Light" appeared at the right time and at the right place, standing under the spotlight and becoming everyone's...
Punching bag.
