Chapter 336 Hollywood’s ‘Necromancer’ appears (please vote!)
Tom Sherak.
Since taking over the position of president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences from his predecessor Sidney Gannis in 2009, he has not spent a day in peace.
Because as soon as he took office, he faced a series of quite difficult problems.
Syd Ganis’s drastic reform of the Oscars.
Compared to his predecessor, he may have been born to wipe his ass.
After his predecessor withdrew honorary awards including the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Joan Hersholt Award, and the Irving Thalberg Memorial Award from the Oscar ceremony, the media itself became concerned about the Oscars question.
Especially the Joan Hersholt Award.
So for this reason, he specially held an awards ceremony for 500 people to solve this matter.
The second thing that requires him to wipe his ass is to expand the list of Best Picture nominees from 5 to 10. This is relatively simple, after all, it is just water injection.
Even with the changes in the Best Film Song Award, it is not too difficult for him who has been in the industry for more than 40 years to promote the implementation of the selection principle of "better to lack than to waste".
What really bothered him was the construction project of the new museum of the college.
To restart this project that was shelved due to the financial crisis, the construction budget alone needs to be raised at US$400 million.
400 million US dollars is not a small amount for the Oscars.
Because the Oscars are non-profit.
He really couldn't understand why the executive director didn't pay attention to what shouldn't be a problem when the nomination list was announced.
Moreover, when the other party reacts strongly, you have to defend yourself.
Well now, the fashion industry is taking this opportunity to attack, and it will definitely be more difficult to raise funds.
Originally, he planned to take advantage of the Oscars ceremony to gain some sponsorship from these Oscar-resident luxury brands.
Facing Tom Sherak’s intervention to quell the matter, the three newly elected vice presidents also expressed their support in front of reporters. These three vice presidents are Kathleen Kennedy, a producer and Screenwriter Phil Robinson, and an actor.
Tom Hanks.
"I will communicate with Anna Wintour about the rest."
Seeing Tom Sherak who was tired of dealing with this matter, Catherine chose to stand up.
If Anna Wintour and Little John, who was the first to attack, would not be together among the people present, then she is still somewhat thin-faced.
If Kathleen Kennedy is not well-known, perhaps the company she co-founded with Steven Spielberg, Amblin Entertainment, is not well-known either.
Then the first movie she participated in as a producer must be the movie that is a household name among movie fans around the world - "E.T."
In the same year, she also collaborated with Spielberg in another film "The Ghostbusters".
Of course, these two films are not the only ones she participated in that are well-known.
"Back to the Future" series, "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Pretty Woman", "Jurassic Park" series, "Schindler's List", "Covered Bridge", "The Age of Era" ", "War of the Worlds", "Lincoln", "Star Wars" and other movies, she is on the list of producers.
Of course, if she only relies on this level, the effect of her intervention may not be very good.
But she also has another identity.
The person with the same name as her had an older brother who had been president, John Kennedy, who shared the same name with John Jr.
So when she invited Little John to meet.
Little John ran over in a hurry for the sake of that ‘John’.
Not only did he rush over, but Anna also chose to shut up in front of the media after receiving the goodwill signal from her.
Because I can't afford it.
Later generations would say the best about Kathleen Kennedy: her greatest achievement in life was "being the woman behind Spielberg."
The true evaluation is that her magic power does not only affect Lucasfilm.
Disney has to listen to her.
Like the much-criticized black mermaid, the black nobles in the Nordic fairy tale Frozen, the Asgardian woman as king, Thor replaced by Jane Foster, and the invincible Captain Marvel. From her hand.
Can you afford to offend such a person?
The only thing that can defeat magic is more powerful magic.
What’s more, this woman is blessed by undead magic.
After all, when many people hear her name, they will think of the dead John and the bumpy fate of Catherine.
"I'll go with you, Catherine."
Tom Hanks also showed his tough side.
Catherine smiled, thought for a moment, and said "Okay".
The information about the return flight was leaked as expected.
As soon as he landed at the airport, Xiangyang’s cell phone kept ringing.
A text message was sent. The people who called were Han Sanping, Xiang Tai, Cheng Long, and Huang Xiaoming. He didn’t have time to reply to them. As soon as he walked out of the checkpoint and came to the luggage area, he saw the reporters guarding the outside. .
Fortunately, Zhuo Wei sent himself a message, telling him to be careful when he came out.
"Hey, where are you?"
"I'm getting my luggage, but there are reporters outside."
"I saw them." mentioned Liu Qianqian was not very happy because of the reporters who prevented her from meeting Xiang Yang earlier.
In the past few days, she finally felt how her mother was treated in the past. While answering endless phone calls, she also had to worry about the person holding her heart.
"You stay in there for a while, after a few more flights, and then find an opportunity to come out." After patiently imparting her experience, Liu Qianqian lowered her voice, "Hurry up, I've been waiting for you. Wait until you get hungry.”
“Yeah” I looked at the time on my wrist, it was just past 6pm, time for dinner.
Xiang Yang suggested: "Why don't you, my dear wife, find a place to eat something first?"
"I brought some snacks."
Liu Qianqian murmured: "I want to have dinner with you. I asked my mother to specially cook your favorite food."
"Well, then you wait for me."
Xiang Yang said hard Nod.
Facing the reporter's interview, he was really tired.
After picking up his luggage in the luggage area, he found a place to sit down and started checking the current progress of things on his mobile phone.
Overall, this hard-nosed episode was a slap in the mouth to the Oscars.
Among them, there must be many people offended.
Don’t look at the chairman who is apologizing to the media, but there may be some knife prepared for him behind his back.
And for this matter, I owe so many favors that I can’t count them all for the time being.
“Forget it, the water will come and the soil will cover it up.” Compared with external news, Xiangyang paid more attention to how the matter was viewed domestically.
Xiang Yang felt relieved when the news that supported him came into view at the press conference of the relevant departments.
A sense of pride arises from the bottom of my heart.
It cannot be said that no one has cared about such a thing.
But to be able to trigger discussions on such a large scale, I should be the first person.
Xiang Yang almost smiled crookedly when he thought that through his own attacks, the fashion industry began to change and he noticed some incorrect things.
But immediately, he frowned again.
Huang Qiusheng?
Grass, isn’t this what it is?
“I have participated in some of the top Hollywood productions,” he said with a smile during an interview with Hong Kong media: “Participating in the filming of “The Veil” in 2006 is something I will never forget. I was always in a hurry. Do you know?
I don’t feel that there is any disrespect for me. He is from the mainland and is too petty.”
"Yes, the mainland actors who participated in the filming with me didn't say anything at all. I couldn't understand what this kind of person was doing. He made such a sacred place like the Oscars miserable.
How embarrassing it is now."
"That designer Xiangyang?" Chen Kexin, who had just achieved good results with the release of "October Siege", also laughed in an interview: "I've heard of him. It’s awesome. If people ask you to change it, just change it.”
In the Hong Kong circle, Zhou Runfa is the most hypocritical star who mocked the international chapter at the film award ceremony for bullying Li Zhi, who was born in the mainland. br>
“I don’t know what he thinks. I had a very good cooperation with Disney in 2007. Bill, the producer of “Midnight in Paris”, Captain Jones, is also a good friend of mine. So he is so great, so Do I need to change the name of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3"? ”
Relative to the other three.
Wu Yusen, who has always been mentioned when it comes to representatives of Chinese film characters who have made a career in Hollywood, looked embarrassed during the interview. Because of his status as a judge, he also has to participate in this Oscar.
"I can understand Xiang Yang, and I can also understand Hollywood's 'mistake'. This is a misunderstanding."
I have been in contact with Cheng Long, and I have heard that most of the Hong Kong Island media's methods are It was Xiang Yang who kept saying nothing shocking. When he saw these reports, he didn't know what to say.
Are you angry?
Definitely angry.
Are these people in Hong Kong uneducated?
Or did he deliberately ignore the year 1981 he emphasized in the interview?
Especially Huang Qiusheng, who said he came from the mainland, what about him?
You have the nerve to talk about your origins when the British don’t want anything?
I have a British father who has to learn English to make novels by British writers and movies with British actors. I don’t know who is embarrassed.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he simply turned off his phone.
As for the film and television practitioners here in the mainland, whoever wants to scold them can do so.
In the eyes of some people, the Oscar Awards Ceremony is a high-level honor and a great honor, but to put it bluntly, it is just an award.
Each country can only have one film, so thousands of good films every year are rarely shortlisted. However, because it has been chased by Chinese films in recent years, it has become a household name for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. It's even more of a joke.
Do you need Oscar recognition?
As a designer, he doesn’t even care whether he is recognized by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (the highest honor in the world’s handmade fashion industry and the Paris fashion industry, the world’s highest honor in the world of handmade fashion and the Paris fashion industry). The highest award in the fashion industry is the Golden Thimble Award).
The Oscar is even less important to him.
Seeing groups of passengers arriving, I was about to leave and blend in with the crowd. I took no more than two steps toward the sun when my cell phone suddenly rang.
"Xiang, where are you? There is a lady who wants to say a few words to you."
Little John cleared his throat.
“Madam?” I'll express my apology to you personally and communicate with you."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Xiangyang suddenly stopped and took a deep breath, thinking...
Aren't you asking if you want to change your name?
If you are so unhappy, then change it.
In addition, you can search for Chow Yun-fat's affairs by yourself. It has just been blocked and cannot be written.
