Hollywood Domination Chapter 2010: Oscar in 2019 (middle)

"Ah, we saw James Cameron and his wife, James!"

"Hi Linda, nice to meet you, you look stunning today."

"Oh, thank you so much James, so -- 2.5 billion? huh? While I know a lot of people have asked you that, but seriously, the day before the Oscars, Avatar The global box office has broken through 2.5 billion, what do you think about it?"

"There is only one word for my impression-'wow'. To be honest, I never thought that the box office could really reach this figure, so of course I am very excited, yes."

"But you don't look very excited, do you? It feels like you're used to this kind of miracle-"

"Hahaha, yeah?"

"It does seem to be true - so, do you think "Avatar" will win best movie tonight?"

"I believe that good movies have a chance, and the judges will make their choices. All we have to do is cross our fingers and wait for the results."

"Will there be competition between you and Catherine because of Oscar?"

"We've actually been wishing each other good luck all award season, and we're still doing the same thing now, Katherine made a really good movie, and I think if she wins, it's going to turn out pretty well."

"Oh, so about "Millionaire" - hehe, just kidding, I personally supported "Avatar" to win the award, this movie is really amazing - but, don't know if you realize that, If "Avatar" wins the award, it also means that Jennifer Jefferson will be on the Oscar podium for the third consecutive year, and it is also the best movie three times in a row, "Michael Clayton" in 2008, "A Week with Marilyn Monroe" in 2009, if she can still be on stage this year, it will really be Sanlianzhuang."

"Wow, really, there didn't seem to be any media talking about this before this—it's so strange, this is a hot spot, is there no media talking about this? If "Avatar" wins this year, she really is Three times in a row—isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?”

"It is because this is not good for the Oscars of "Avatar", so it is not publicized, but Fox will report her on the list of producers, which is really surprising-as for the media, News Corp. Of course the media won’t report this, and it’s not like they don’t have exclusive news, as for other companies, Jennifer Jefferson’s PR team is so strong, they should all be dealt with.”

"Yes, Jennifer and I are aware of this, and we have joked with each other-if she gets on the podium this year, it will be the third time in a row. I really want to win an award, because I think it will be a cool miracle: to make three films in three consecutive years, all of different genres, and they all won awards. Sometimes it’s amazing what young people in this era can do. Scared me, an old man."

"Did Cameron get angry just now? Didn't I mean just now, when the host said "Millionaire" just now, he was not happy?"

"She should have figured it out, you see she's been showing favors all the time, oh——she's afraid to ask further questions! Haha, it's so fun!"

"Yeah, it would be really cool if it all came true, wouldn't it? It makes us look forward to tonight's awards even more."

"Yes, thank you, Linda, see you soon."

"See you later, James. Ah, now, Christopher Waltz, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "Inglourious Basterds", is walking towards us, hello, Chris—"

"I heard that Brad Pitt is not coming tonight - "Inglourious Basterds" has been nominated for best picture, is it because he didn't get nominated for the leading actor and refused to attend?"

"Anyway, Anthony Ryan is here, and he didn't get any nominations."

"The real-time ratings are already 30 million, which is even higher than last year... It seems that this year's "Avatar" has really attracted a lot of viewers - guess, will the Oscars award it?"

"Focus on your ratings, it's not your job to worry about awards - just give it because of this? It's impossible, anyway, if you don't give sci-fi movies, you will continue to play, won't you? If I were the chairman, I would won't you give it?"

"Ah, it's another Chris—Christopher Hanks—Chris, so you're here for Best Actor tonight, aren't you?"

"Since I'm nominated, I'm like, yeah, yeah, I'm here for Best Actor, and I'm not going to go home if I don't get it - haha, just kidding, no matter the award No award, being nominated is an honor, and Jeff and I said the same thing, and if he wins, all it takes is a big meal to forgive him.”

"Chris is really funny - I think he's really getting handsomer!"

"I think Cesare is more handsome- oops! Don't look at me like that, I admit that Chris is not bad-well, well, Cesare is not more handsome, just not much worse than him , ok? Oh, oh, listen, listen to the screaming in the background - I guess j.j is here!"

"Oscar best picture nominated producer, actress, Oscar winner Jennifer Jefferson just entered the venue, oh, they are getting off, "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Bo Il stepped forward to hug her—"

"j.j!"

"Hi Linda."

"Wow, you are so beautiful tonight, this dress is so elegant, it complements your figure so well..."

"This is not what we want to hear, Linda! Why didn't you ask about Sanlianzhuang just now? You should ask j.j what he thinks about this issue!"

"Oh, boring! Who wants to hear about her dress? Every website will report on the dress, but only you can ask this question!"

"Ask her when she plans to have a baby?!"

"It's a pity, why didn't her husband come to the stage, Cesare is really low-key-he should come and be interviewed together."

"Ask her what she thinks of Christopher's best actor nomination!"

"Should have asked about her and Danny - dude, didn't you see the report? Danny is said to be very upset with her and feels that Millionaire is being mistreated in the awards season promotion ——"

"Have you noticed that this year's question is very simple."

Jennie said that she and Cesare walked into the venue together, and walked towards the seat with the famous sign: "Avatar" crew got a big seat in the area near the front of the stage-this probably also included in the Among the 2.5 billion packages. "They seem to be very afraid that we will take the initiative to hype the topic again-it feels like Linda can't wait to send me away, and she doesn't even dare to ask a question other than fashion."

"I wouldn't be surprised if they were worried about this." Cesare said, he lowered his hand and let Jenny's arm loosen from his arm naturally, but the two still maintained a fairly close relationship distance—this is an awards ceremony where cameras are everywhere, "Of course, their worries are really unnecessary, and there is suspicion of excess self-awareness."

"I don't blame them," Jenny quickened her pace and walked towards her seat, only stopping a few times as necessary to chat with her friends. "I think they've had enough of Avatar's public relations these past few months—did you hear? The question of the judges has even attracted the attention of the president's cabinet. It is said that someone has already asked the academy for the list of members and resumes. "

"Did you hear what Chris said?" Cesare also kept waving and smiling at the distance. They sat down in their seats, and Jenny moved to the right, noticing that Cesare was also leaning towards On the left, there was a wide gap between them.

She unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, "Why, is this news unreliable?"

"It's not that reliable, at least the president's cabinet is afraid that they don't have the heart to meddle in this kind of business-of course they don't have the qualifications," Cesare said absent-mindedly, "You saw Danny just now-you think How likely is it that he will take the initiative to vent to the tabloids?"

"You mean that piece of news?" Jenny shook her head, "It's probably not him, this piece of news doesn't please the judges, and if it's Danny, it should be published at a higher level...but Danny was really upset, that's for sure, you know, he's always felt the company paid a little too little for Millionaire, and..."

Cesare gave a deep 'hmm', "And you spoke for "Avatar", but you didn't say anything for "Millionaire."

On this point, Jenny actually doesn't mind Danny's temper very much. Everyone has a different standpoint and sees different things. Not too many dividends, almost all the money was earned by Dameng. It is human nature to hope that Dameng will win honor for him. As for whether it is right for Jennifer to spend Fox's money to win honor for herself, is it right not to speak out for "Millionaire"? He didn't need to understand the rest of the reasons. What Danny saw was that "Millionaire" had a great success in the first half of 2009, as if the Oscars were scheduled for 10 years, and after the expectations were getting higher and higher, starting from the second half of the year, "The Hurt Locker" and "The Hurt Locker" "Avatar" came out one after another, but "Millionaire" became the leading horse that was overtaken due to premature exposure and poor publicity of the big dream. Given a director's desire for an Oscar, it's normal for Danny to have opinions on them.

"It's nothing." She reassured the slight sarcasm in Cesare's words in turn, "Anyway, this is a thing of the past, and we don't have to care what Danny does—his movie The style is different from the big dream, and there are very few opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Cesare nodded, and did not comment on this matter. The two fell into a brief—almost terrifying silence. The awkward atmosphere inevitably descended again, weighing heavily on the shoulders of the two of them. .

Jenny could probably feel that Cesare was not looking at her, but she didn't know where he was looking. She herself was staring at the back of the chair in front of her, trying to burn two hole—this kind of unnecessary embarrassment, while making her uncomfortable, also brought a considerable sense of tension, and it also proved that the avoidance strategy adopted by the two of them in the past month was not so effective: yes, This was the first time they met after that heart-to-heart talk. Prior to this, Cesare and her had hardly been back to Los Angeles. Lei Ze travels around the world, and of course he often goes to New York. The time difference makes them only communicate with each other through emails for most of the time, avoiding the possibility of phone calls. It was not until the Oscars tonight that the two parties could not avoid it and reunited. .

It's not a child anymore, a casual close contact - can't even say how close it is, as for being so serious? If it was another person, Jenny believed that she would laugh it off—she and Josh had intimate contact with each other casually during their fake relationship, and this did not prevent them from maintaining a good friendship. So she tends to blame Cesare for the whole awkward atmosphere. If he hadn't overreacted, she would definitely not have become embarrassed, and then let the relationship between the two go out of control towards alienation and avoidance...

Glancing at Cesare, she saw that he was calmly pressing his phone with his head down. Jenny coughed and tried to break the deadlock, "So, who do you think will be the final winner tonight?"

"Everything that needs to be done has been done," Cesare shook his head, "However, there are three strong movies this year, and we are discussing the best movie that is the most difficult to manipulate the results, so... I can only Said, within two hours, we will know the result."

Oscar awards usually last more than three hours, Jenny said, "You mean best editing? Or best photography?"

"These three films have won 7 major nominations this year, so we can't tell the difference." Cesare finally put down his phone, turned his head to look at Jenny, and they looked at each other for a while , Jenny coughed again, she turned her head first, and heard Cesare continue, "If any movie can take these two awards first, it should explain the attitude of a large part of the judges— —At least photographers and editors are also a large part of the academy.”

"Well," Jenny said, staring at the back of the chair, wondering if she should pull out her phone too, but her public figure baggage is a bit heavier than Cesare's—"Ah, James! Here, here!"

He stood up enthusiastically and waved to the Cameron family. Jenny has never been so happy to see old friends like today, "Your seat is right next to me..."

"How about it, is the editing of "Code Shero" all finished?" After the box office exceeded 2.5 billion, Cameron was already detached from the awards, and he didn't even mention the ongoing awards ceremony from beginning to end. "When can I see the full version?"

"Anytime, anywhere——"

After a short greeting, with a series of lively opening music, the host Steve Martin briskly walked out of the backstage. Witnessed by 55 million viewers, the 82nd Oscars began—and have been talking about Compared with the two producers of "Avatar 2" and "Codename Shero", these 55 million enthusiastic viewers are more concerned about the fate of "Avatar" than they are. It has a detailed concept, and considering the North American box office of "Millionaire" and "The Hurt Locker", it is conceivable that among the 55 million viewers, at least 50 million should wholeheartedly support the "Avatar" film. The only movie they have seen, for these outside audiences who don't care much about the film industry, they don't understand the conventions of Oscars, the inherent advantages of art films, and of course they don't understand "Avatar" in the awards biological chain Born at the bottom, all they know is almost only the 2.5 billion box office of this miracle, and this 2.5 billion box office is all their evidence-what they are expecting is the same as "Avatar" on the box office list One-sided massacre. What they want to witness is that after the miracle's 2.5 billion box office, Cameron won the grand prize—even another miracle that won all nine nominations and gained both fame and fortune.

Of course, everyone knows that the best show is always at the end, but the seven nominations for these three films overlap is also a big point of interest-I don’t know if it’s an insight into the audience’s eagerness to have some snacks to enjoy themselves. The best actor was presented first, and after introducing the first nominees for the best movie, the two rookies, Zac Efron and Anna Kendrick, walked up to the stage and introduced the nominees they would be awarded. Awards: Best Sound Effects and Sound Editing.

- "Millionaire," "The Hurt Locker" and "Avatar" are all shortlisted for the first Coincidence nomination!
