Hollywood Domination Chapter 308: Curtain time (on)

""Underworld Prequel" is about to be released. Jennifer Bell showed up at a fashion party with a big belly. She talked about the happiness of her newlywed husband. When asked about Jennifer Jefferson, she refused to make any comments..."

"Jennifer Jefferson still hasn't shown up until now. There are rumors that she has suffered from depression and has been hospitalized in secret."

"The spokesperson denies all conjectures about Jennifer Jefferson, saying 'she is on vacation', and all requests for interviews are declined."

"It is rumored that Jennifer Jefferson believes in a cult, likes perverts, and is a secret S.M lover..."

When he saw this article, even Robert Iger, a veteran who had been immersed in Hollywood for many years and had read all kinds of news, couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. He let go of the mouse, stretched his upper body, Standing up from the notebook, greeted the two daughters who ran into the house from the courtyard with a smile, hugged the younger daughter and kissed, "Would you like some lemonade, babies?"

"Today is Sunday, Bob." Willow, who walked into the house with his daughters, looked at the laptop, frowned and said to Robert with some reproach, "We agreed not to bring work back At home, no work on Sunday."

"No job, just watching some news." The family turned to the kitchen. Robert poured two full glasses of iced lemonade for the two daughters, took out small biscuits and put them on the dining table, and then turned to the kitchen. Willow explained, but his lame excuse couldn't hide from his wife—Willow Bay rolled his eyes at him, but he didn't continue to attack. Instead, he took out the cup and poured water for himself while chatting Said, "Has this incident not subsided? It has been more than ten days. According to common sense, the media should have been looking for new hot spots."

"You're right—according to common sense, the media should have diverted their attention long ago, so it doesn't seem like a spontaneous news." Robert turned on the tap to wash off the sweat and dirt on his hands He also poured himself a glass of lemonade, handed over the two children to the nanny who followed up in the kitchen, and moved to the quieter living room with his wife—Willow, a well-known news anchor, is here It can help him a lot, "I have been wondering whether this is aimed at Oscar or Jennifer-now it seems that if someone saw the opportunity and wanted to take the opportunity to give Jennifer a little hit, then the people behind the scenes The ultimate goal should still be Jennifer, and Oscar is just a third party in this matter."

Willow didn't wear glasses. She squinted her eyes cautiously and glanced at the search page, and sighed at the news that Robert responded, "Depression? Evil religion? Even pagesix is ​​issued Such news? Jennifer’s depression attack?——It seems that this behind-the-scenes person really hates Jennifer, and there is indeed a strong conflict of interest between them——If I don’t know the cooperation between Disney and Dream It's been very happy so far, and I even thought it was because you guys had collapsed and turned your back on you, and you were trying to hack Jennifer behind your back."

"I think so too." Robert made a face to his wife, "Aside from the Big Six, which company has this strength? I'm really curious now, when did Jennifer offend Paramount severely?" , Universal or Sony? If that’s the case, why can’t I hear any news?”

Among the two elites in the media industry, Willow and Robert, there are many things that need not be said clearly. Jennifer's judgment is because this is a standard configuration for a large company's public opinion war, and in the eyes of experts, it can be easily seen that this is no longer explained by a small friction, it is completely due to a strong grievance , it has reached the point where they cannot be calm without destroying Jennifer and Dameng——

Generally speaking, conflicts between Hollywood production companies and stars are commonplace. After all, film production is an industry that is very dependent on people, and successful filmmakers have very strong personalities. Stars and directors do not get along, and they refuse to attend film promotions. Making inappropriate remarks in public hurts the face of a major production company, and the interests of the two parties cannot be negotiated. This is the source of conflict. As for how the conflict will end in the end, it depends on the agent's mediation methods. If it is a general conflict, the big production company may just pass it by. After all, they come out to do business for money, and harmony is the best important. But if it angered the company's executives, then the most common way is to fire the leading actor—of course, if the celebrity is as big as Jenny, and the relationship with the series is as close as Johnny Depp and "Pirates of the Caribbean", then There is another gold medal for avoiding death - if you are not big enough, then don't try to die, even the lead actor may be fired, after the dismissal, even the rest of the company's films will close the door to you, the same thing And that's all there is to it: In Hollywood, where competition is so fierce, losing the starring role in a series is already a severe punishment for an actor.

However, it is unlikely that a big name like Jenny will have a conflict with a major production company because of her words. Even if she keeps making inappropriate remarks, as long as the box office influence is still there, the company will laugh it off. The only thing that can really make her fall out with a certain company is the uneven distribution of benefits, and the consequences of this fallout will be very serious - just like Paramount and Tom Cruise, because "Mission: Impossible" The division of interests in the "series was uneven, and eventually the two parties broke up. Paramount then used its influence to make Tom Cruise's public reputation fall into a huge low ebb. During the low-production period, the production company he started was even more bleak, struggling on the verge of bankruptcy.

Of course, Tom Cruise's own crazy performance has also contributed a lot to this, from a superstar who was originally looked up to by the United States to a scandal-ridden controversial figure. For example, he criticized Brooke Shields for taking antidepressants, And the act of jumping on the sofa in the talk show gave the media an opportunity. However, it is not a day or two for Tom Cruise to believe in Scientology. This matter finally entered the public's field of vision, and Tom Both Robert and Willow knew that Cruise's state of mind was a topic of discussion: Paramount's publicity was largely responsible for this. If there is no Paramount, Cruise's PR will definitely be able to suppress the news, at least control the length of time the media follows up on the report, or the quality of the report and the quality of the media. It is precisely because Paramount is behind the scenes that the media will publicize this matter so hard, dragging Tom into the abyss, and making him officially a fallen superstar—when these news with the enthusiasm and enthusiasm they shouldn’t have When the persistence swept across the United States, Robert had predicted at that time: Paramount and Tom must have a problem, otherwise there would never be such a big movement in this matter. Sure enough, within a few months, Paramount announced that it was over. He broke the contract with Tom Cruise and kicked this hero out of the company. The external reason was that Paramount couldn't stand Tom Cruise's madness, but after a few months, Robert received a rumor that was more reasonable-the reason why the two sides talked about it was because Paramount couldn't stand Tom Cruise's insanity. In the "Mission: Impossible" series, they got less than Tom Cruise. It is true that the interests were not balanced and the negotiations were not reached. However, during the negotiations, Tom angered Paramount, and Paramount also made Hollywood look good. Let them know that even a superstar, after angering a big production company, life is not so easy...

Judging from the Tom Cruise incident, Jennifer's Oscar scandal also has obvious traces of human manipulation. Willow is right. If Robert is not the CEO of Disney, he will also doubt whether Disney and Dameng are Something went wrong, that's why Jennifer's influence was reduced by such means - but Robert, who knew that this matter was purely fictional, was still a little suspicious. He didn't know whether this storm of public opinion was aimed at Jennifer or Oscar: Both sides are very aggressive, but it's hard to say who is being dragged down by whom.

However, since a few days ago, the trend of the news has slowly shown the overall trend - the voices questioning the Oscar hype gradually weakened, and the attacks on Jennifer personally intensified, and now the evil As soon as the news about religion and mental breakdown came out, the answer became obvious—in the United States, if you want to attack a star, it is the most effective and convenient to identify these two points, especially mental breakdown. Jennifer, who is under too much pressure and news about mental disorders, is really easy to use. In the next few years, as long as she doesn't show up for a while, she can rely on it. The big media with credibility, in the past few years Repeated reports are enough to impress the public, and it will not be so easy to clear up the suspicion afterwards. Especially in Jennifer, who has always been extremely low-key, a devout believer, a healthy lifestyle, and doesn't even have tattoos, the attack power of these two memes is extremely powerful, and can directly affect her fanbase. Precise strikes are much better than slandering her for taking drugs. Then think about the websites that published these news, either Pagesix or people. They are all the media with the highest credibility. It can be seen that this time Jennifer Has she really offended any big company, and the other party is going to use the highest level of methods to serve her, so that her stardom will be dimmed, and her current momentum will no longer be in full swing.

"Maybe it's because she's in someone else's way?" I have been preparing for the Olympics for several years, and I heard that there will be a blockbuster film for the Olympics next year—"

"I didn't get wind of it." Robert shook his head, "Besides, Natalie doesn't have to worry about it, she just won another Oscar, this time it's impossible to win again in a few years, Jennifer won The award, she should be the happiest one, if she was nominated this year but didn't win the award, she should be worried... Besides, I haven't heard of Natalie's new love song in recent years..."

He smiled and didn't continue the topic, "It won't be an actress. Now that company directors have less and less influence on the inside, CEOs can't afford to do this. I'm thinking, from evil. The nervous breakdown started, which looked a lot like Paramount's style, but I don't know what Brad Gray was thinking..."

"You want to call Brad?" Willow said sharply. "If that's the case, shouldn't Dick make the call?"

Company docking is like the diplomacy between two countries. It pays attention to reciprocal reception, which also makes the communication between Disney Group and the Big Six a bit awkward, because Disney, as a media and entertainment group, has a relatively large scale. Not the other five parent companies, but as the CEO of the group, if Robert Gray and Jeff Robinov come in contact, it will be another self-deprecation, so this matter is very important to Robert It was really tricky to say, he shook his head and denied his wife's statement first, "If it's really Brad, asking Dick to say hello will only make things worse... You know Dick has been lobbying the board of directors, I hope we Being able to limit Dameng’s business scope to small and medium investments of less than 50 million yuan, and Dameng is planning to produce a superhero movie this year—and still avoiding the headquarters and cooperating with Warner, this really makes the board of directors a little annoyed.”

Looking at each other with his wife, Willow sighed, stretched out his hand and rubbed her husband's arm encouragingly: As the CEO of the group, it is indeed not easy to balance the relationship between various departments and avoid excessive internal friction. Especially when the performance of the Disney headquarters is not eye-catching enough, but the companies that have been acquired and invested by Disney have outstanding report cards, it is normal for the headquarters to complain. Now when it comes to animation, Disney has Pixar, and when it comes to manga, Disney has Marvel—this was originally Disney’s strength. Apart from animation, the overall development is almost catching up with the headquarters. It's no wonder that Dick Cook doesn't have a sense of crisis.

"It's time to call Jennifer." Willow, who is well aware of the factional struggles within Disney, as well as her husband's difficulties and considerations, can only say so, she whispered, "I know, the board wants you to borrow This is an opportunity to expand the group's shares in Dameng, but no matter what, you have to express your personal attitude - after all, Jennifer has saved you from a big investment loss..."

This call is so easy to make... If you make a greeting call, but don't talk about the recent public opinion storm, it is actually a statement and a hint, helping Jennifer understand the true state of mind of the board of directors and her own position, It is possible to separate Dameng and Disney - this is what Robert does not like to see. The strong rise of Dameng is of great help to him in establishing authority within the group. He does not want to see Dameng and Disney gradually The line drifts away.

However, as long as a phone call is made, this point will definitely be exposed. Even if Jennifer can't find this point, it is impossible to miss Cesare Vijari next to her-the two founders hug each other tightly The attitude is actually a heart problem for Robert. When he invested in Dameng, it would be a lie to say that he never thought of taking advantage of the equal shareholding between the two to gain some benefits for Disney. But now, five years have passed. , Their relationship is still as close as ever. Of course, Robert knows that the whole marriage has an ulterior motive, but he will not doubt the close cooperation between Jennifer and Cesare. Shares, but the right to speak is indeed not strong at all. The entire superhero movie project, including the decision to cooperate with Warner, did make some members of the board of directors very unhappy. It is not covetous to expand Disney’s right to speak in Big Dream. Big Dream’s profit, but wants to deepen the partnership between Big Dream and Disney: Since the movie starring Jennifer Jefferson is a guarantee of success, why does Big Dream cooperate with Fox and Warner?

But having said that, it is impossible not to make this phone call now. It is already so obvious that the other party is targeting Jennifer personally. If Disney's previous silence can be explained, then now, as Jennifer's □□, not taking the initiative to control the damage for Jennifer, in fact, has already revealed the company's attitude, the dream is going to leave, and it is estimated that it has already started to leave. This weighed heavily on Robert's heart, but it also gave him the motivation to make amends: Big Dream's relationship with Disney is one thing, his personal relationship with Jennifer is another, Willow said That's right, just looking at Jennifer's super intuition, Robert can't give up his friendship with Jennifer. If nothing else, let's talk about the Lehman Brothers incident last year. Jennifer saved him tens of millions of losses. It's in dollars. Disney's CEO may not be able to sit for a lifetime, but the assets will always belong to Robert himself. Robert is not yet so noble in sacrificing his personal friendship for the company.

Accompanies the children who had bathed and had a family dinner, and Robert returned to his study. After making a division, he picked up the phone and dialed Jennifer's number.

"Hi, Bob!" After a few rings, Jennifer answered the phone, her voice still so cheerful that Robert could clearly hear the crashing of the waves in the background noise - it looked like Jennifer Fer is really enjoying a private vacation at the seaside as she announced to the public. I don't know if Cesare is with her, and what are they planning to use this vacation for... "It's been a long time since I heard from you. "

Even though Robert's face is certainly not thin, he couldn't help but feel a little sting because of Jennifer's cheerful greeting: In this matter, Disney should act as the backing of Big Dream and call to care at the first time Phone, working with Dameng to put out the fire...

He let go of his identity as the CEO of Disney, and replied heartily, "Hey, j.j, yes, I should have called earlier, but, you know, sometimes the CEO can't think of what to do— —Are you okay, girl?"

There was a series of knowing laughter on the phone——Jennifer seemed to have fully understood his subtext, but she didn't seem to mind the company's inaction, but said sincerely, "I'm very happy." Okay, thank you so much old friend for your concern, Bob - seriously, personal to personal, I appreciate the call."

Getting along with Jennifer is always very comfortable. Although Jennifer was a little naive when we first met, her generosity and understanding have always been obvious advantages. After several years of contact, Robert found that he really regarded Jennifer as his friend. Knowing that Jennifer was not affected by those overwhelming criticisms, he couldn't help feeling relieved, and at the same time worried for Jennifer: if Jennifer Now that the attack is gradually slowing down, she is a bit careless, thinking that the storm of public opinion has passed, then she is undoubtedly very wrong. This girl may not understand the seriousness of the matter: and under the circumstances that Disney does not plan to protect her for the time being, her The situation is indeed quite dangerous--to be honest, from this point of view, Robert thinks that it is not unreasonable to exchange the company's protection by expanding Disney's shares. Although the price seems a bit high, in Hollywood, except for the six major In addition, no one can help Jennifer at this time, and any company that is qualified to sell will offer a darker price than Disney. This is not something that can be solved by continuing to delay. The more you delay, the greater the loss. In this case, it is better to complete the transaction as soon as possible. Now the news is only two weeks away. As long as the operation is correct, the public will still forget it within six months. This matter is not like Tom Cruise. Now his image in the public's mind has been fixed as "a big star who is controlled by a cult and has certain mental problems." If he wants to get rid of these two labels, he doesn't know what to do. What month is it.

However, Robert didn't intend to get straight to the point. He was worried that if he was the lobbyist, Jennifer would have bad associations, which would affect their personal relationship. He also wanted to know more about Jennifer. See what she—or Cesare, to a large extent Cesare—thought of the matter.

"Well, it's really reassuring to know you're fine now," he said with a relaxed smile, "You know, the media has started to associate you with mental institutions now, although I know the news can't Believe it, but I have to admit that I am also a human being, and I will also be affected by 'type awe'."

"Yes, yes, I also saw the news." Jennifer laughed, and said helplessly and self-deprecatingly, "Maybe this is the life experience that every big star must have - being violently attacked by the media , I mean, did two Oscars really affect them so much? It’s unimaginable.”

It sounds like Jennifer doesn't know who's behind her back now, or why it's all happening, and she may not even realize that it was a premeditated sniper operation, just mistaking it for the media. Normal stress response. Robert frowned, and weighed the pros and cons in his heart—and thought about the spectacular scene of the collapse of Lehman Brothers last year: many of his friends' savings for many years were wiped out with this collapse.

"I don't think it's necessarily directly related to the two Oscars," he dropped the insinuation—if even Cesare didn't see this, then it shows that the two young people still have experience. There is something lacking and her performance is not stable, and if Cesare sees this and Jennifer is just pretending to be stupid, then directly pointing it out will also help them understand their position and strengthen the trust between the two parties——Robert directly challenged Ming said, "Maybe the box office performance of Dameng last year was quite eye-catching, which aroused the vigilance of some big companies and made them want to impose some restrictions on you, at least to draw a clear line between the Oscars and the movies produced by Dameng. From this point of view, they have actually achieved their goal-but these are all details, dear Jennifer, what I worry about now is that they will not be satisfied with this, and they may want to do more... ..."

Can they do more? Of course they can do more, Robert can think of a lot of 'more' himself, but he doesn't intend to say it now - if this is the first time Jennifer hears this argument, she has to give her some reaction Time, too much indoctrination at one time may cause unnecessary suspicion, causing Jennifer's rebound and vigilance when Robert brings what he thinks is the most appropriate disposal plan.

"You're saying—" Jennifer's tone changed, and the cheerfulness disappeared, she was obviously shocked by the news, "It's not—but—this—Bob— —”

The sound of the waves faded into the background, and the sound of footsteps and closing doors suggested that Jennifer had really started to take the call seriously: she was back in the quieter interior. Robert quietly waited for Jennifer's response, thinking about a solution acceptable to both parties - Disney could buy a part of Jennifer and Cesare's shares on very favorable terms, and the price they offered would allow the couple It is the tendency of the board of directors to enter the ranks of the richest billionaires in Hollywood in the blink of an eye, but Robert's own feeling is that if Jennifer is not happy, then he can also work hard to mediate, as long as Disney gets more Voting rights—or even a package contract, stipulating that a few of Dameng's co-productions each year must cooperate with the headquarters, and the board of directors should be satisfied with this...

"Bob, are you sure you're telling the truth?" Jennifer asked, sounding a little disbelieving, "Just because of the box office? I mean, just because Big Dream's box office last year accidentally Got good grades—"

"Of course, we know that the results of "Monroe" and "Twilight" are indeed an accident, but the box office is the box office after all." Robert changed the phone, and after a little consideration, he revealed an internal message, " My dear, I'm afraid you underestimated the achievements of Dameng. Even within the group, there are some people who feel very dazzling about your achievements. My dear, you should understand, otherwise, what do you think is stopping me from calling you? This phone number?"

"I...I thought it was Dick who wanted to see me more unlucky," sighed Jennifer, her voice full of frustration, like a little girl who just suffered a blow, "and you He must take care of his emotions, and other reasons... I didn't expect the box office to be a reason to attack me personally..."

Poor girl...

Even knowing that this poor girl has actually just won her fifth Oscar at the age of 28, Robert does not deny that sometimes he does feel pity for Jennifer, this girl has talent— ——It’s not just a kind of talent, acting, production, investment, she has the performance of genius, but like every genius, she also has an extremely ignorant side, and she doesn’t know anything about her weakness. Like the pampering and self-willedness she showed during the negotiations between the two parties, she definitely didn't do it on purpose, it's just—it's just that she's too talented, too beautiful, and so lucky that she will never know the whole picture of the world, This kind of ignorance will make people feel sympathy for her, and even have the urge to let her live on the bright side forever. Imagine her loss when she knows the weak side of the world, knowing that she has done nothing wrong, just because If it is too powerful, it will cause shock when attacking——

"Honey," he softened his voice, "maybe you won't believe that, but I'm afraid companies don't care if they're mean when they attack each other—just like the audience doesn't care. Truth, as long as a good story is all it takes, companies are all about results. And that's why I'm calling, to find out who's trying to get at you, j.j, think it over, and try to fix this mess , if you need, you can call me at any time. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very bad for your future Oscar journey. In order to avoid suspicion, Oscar will definitely be extremely strict on your future works. I think we all Wouldn't want to see that."

"Of course, of course." After a brief shock, Jennifer quickly accepted this, she agreed repeatedly, and then said sincerely, "Bob, you are a true friend, I Remember this favor—by the way, since you called, I just happened to talk to you about one of my latest ideas. In the next few years, Big Dream will cast a series of live-action movies adapted from classic fairy tales. I think we can have in-depth cooperation with Disney, are you interested in hearing my thoughts—"

A cooperation invitation from Dameng? Of course Robert is interested. Not many people in Hollywood would say no to this invitation, but he didn't put too much thought into Jennifer's words now, instead he was a little anxious: These are not a few words 'Of course, of course 'The problem can be ended, Jennifer doesn't think this matter can be easily resolved, does she? It sounds like she didn't pay much attention to this matter, and this violated Robert's original intention of making this call. Although this cooperation invitation showed that Dameng didn't mind Disney's doing nothing, which was good news for him as the CEO, but Whether it's from a personal perspective or from a collaborator's point of view, he doesn't want Jennifer to be troubled by the scandal of "conspiring to hype with Oscar" and "mental breakdown" for a long time. Here comes a very real crisis - what if the mastermind starts attacking Jennifer and Cesare as a sham marriage? This is also a common angle of attack, and once the public's attention is shifted here, Big Dream may really be in trouble——

"Of course." He said impatiently, and forcibly changed the subject, "But you may not understand the seriousness of the problem, Jennifer, don't you want to win Oscars in the future—"

"Of course I want to." Jennifer was amused by him, and her tone relaxed again, showing her usual straightforward innocence, "And I will still get an Oscar in the future—— Bob, don't worry, this farce should be over-if you are interested, you can pay attention to tonight's evening news-ah, it's eight o'clock in the United States, right? Then turn on the TV quickly, I Guess they'll be playing the statement soon—"

"What?" Robert repeated in amazement, "Playing the statement—"

Although he still hadn't reacted to Jennifer's words, he still instinctively turned on the TV and tuned to the CNN channel - the evening news summary has been broadcast to the United Nations news, which is the end of the political news, and then the picture cuts quickly On a news picture: Jennifer in a blue dress raised two statuettes to the camera with a smile.

Robert couldn't care less about asking Jennifer any more, he frowned and turned up his voice just in time for the end of the narration, "...Director Ed Carter, on behalf of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, addressed the media A statement was issued to clarify the doubts that have dominated the mainstream of public opinion during this period—"

Then the screen switched to a small hall. Accompanied by the continuous sound of taking photos, an old Jewish man with tight lips walked up to the podium and began to read out a statement: "The college is concerned about the news and public opinion in the recent period. The guide expressed shock and disappointment. These baseless doubts have seriously damaged the reputation of Oscar, as well as the personal reputation and private life of Ms. Jennifer Jefferson. The academy has never interfered with the guidance of members to vote, and the votes of all members All are made in a fair environment, based on the performance of the film, actors, and working members themselves. Members will not be biased in the voting because of the past performance of the actors, no matter whether the bias is positive or negative. Jennifer Jeffer Ms. Mori has won five Oscars in the past five years, which is indeed something that has not happened since the Oscars were created. However, as I said, it is because she contributed enough to win five Oscars in the past five years. Brilliant performance. Ms. Jennifer Jefferson didn't know she was going to win until she showed up at the Oscars, like all of us, until the envelope was ripped, only the accountants at PwC knew the outcome , Ms. Jefferson's performance at the gala was an unexpected incident, but the Academy expresses its sincere blessings. We are very happy that the Kodak Theater can become a place for a couple to get engaged, and Oscar can facilitate a couple's marriage. But the academy has never, and will never have anything to do with hype and marketing, and we reserve the right to initiate legal proceedings against defamers and slanders.”

After he finished reading the statement, along with the continuous sound of taking photos, there were continuous inquiries from the audience, and many reporters asked loudly, "Why is the academy's press conference held in such a hurry?"

"Has the academy communicated with Miss Jefferson about the press conference beforehand?"

"Will the academy still select Miss Jefferson's works in the future?"

"How will the Academy explain Miss Jefferson's erratic behavior before and after the awards ceremony?"

"Does the academy really think Jefferson deserves every award she gets? Not even Katharine Hepburn has won three acting Oscars in such a short period of time, the academy thinks Jennifer Jefferson Has it reached this level of greatness?"

Among the successive questions, Ed Carter only chose the last one to answer, and he seemed to be in a bad mood—Ed first gave the camera a vicious look, and then said with a sullen face.

"Actors are never great because of an Oscar, sir, on the contrary. The Oscar is a great award because the seven thousand members of the Academy always pick out great work. If we have won because of any actor If he or she chooses not to vote for him or her after receiving an Oscar, then it is impossible for the Oscar to be recognized in the United States or even the whole world. It is not the Oscar that creates the actor, but the actor that creates the Oscar! Ms. Jennifer Jefferson is One of the many luminaries who made the Oscars — the Oscars are great because of them!"

These heated remarks successfully silenced the scene, except for the continuous sound of the shutter, no one tried to interrupt Ed's speech-yes, this is hardly an answer to a reporter's question, but It's a small speech. There is no doubt that Ed's remarks completely represent the will of the academy. It can even be said that this is a speech draft prepared before going on stage, and it is by no means Ed himself's impromptu speech. play.

"As for the attitude after the academy," Ed seemed inspired by the reaction on the spot, his back straightened, and his tone became more forceful, "The academy will never give up on commending masterpieces for any reason, Whether it is his or her past achievements, political stance, or doubts from the outside world, we believe that all of these will pass without a trace, only masterpieces can last forever, and only masterpieces can make awards immortal!"

—— After a pause, Ed Carter looked around the audience, took a deep breath, and loudly made Oscar's final statement, "As long as Ms. Jefferson continues to produce masterpieces, then the Academy members have nothing Reason not to vote for her!"
