Legendary Hollywood Director

What does this award prove? Well-connected? Are the PR costs in place? Or luck? ——Anyway, among the countless facts that this Best Foreign Language Award can represent, there must be no complete unified statement.

But this does not mean that he is not happy, at least, he is moving towards the ultimate goal, and it is okay to deviate occasionally.

Lehmann quickly suppressed his untimely thoughts and walked to the podium calmly, first hugging Catherine Zeta-Jones politely.

Congratulations, Director Ryman.

Should I say thank you?

The two laughed lightly.

After a brief chat, Lyman took the Golden Ball trophy from her, turned around and faced the silent attention from the audience. Lyman took a deep breath and settled down all the complexities. Feelings, once again invested in the appropriate surprise, emotional award winner role.

Thanks...and...finally...

After a more conventional acceptance speech, Lehmann made a bow, and then held the trophy and was led to the backstage by a staff member for an interview-the agent Johnson had been waiting in the backstage interview area for a long time.

Director Lehman, how are you feeling now?

Do you think you're going to win the hearts of the Oscar judges? Even though you've won a Golden Globe.

Do you have a chance of winning with your work?

Director Lyman...

Amid the visual stimuli of multiple flashes, Lyman could only barely parry, resisting the urge to blink quickly, and at the same time pick out a few questions to answer.

Fortunately, Johnson is very experienced in this kind of scene, constantly picking and rolling for him, and gently reminding him how to answer some tricky questions.

Lehman successfully replied a few non-irritating answers, and then held the trophy and asked the reporters to take a few photos, and this was the end.

In the end, the award ceremony of the Golden Globes finally came to an end slowly amid the laughter and laughter of singing and dancing.

In fact, compared to the Oscars, the Golden Globes is very much like a carnival for practitioners. Everyone has nominations, everyone has fun, and whether it is the final winner or the loser, they are more relaxed.

Moreover, unlike the unification party held by Vanity Fair after the Oscars, the Golden Globes do not do this. However, each company will hold its own winning party, which is what Europa thinks.

George also specially came to inform Lehman and his party, and this is also a good opportunity for the two allies CAA and Paramount Pictures to not be absent and to promote each other's feelings. Even though Lehman was very tired, he still did not refuse George's invitation. .

Seriously, you should come out often to participate in similar activities. For a social madman like George, most of the time in addition to dealing with all kinds of necessary work, the rest is to develop relationships, he took the lead in clinking glasses to Lehmann Dao: Unless it is about yourself, you hardly ever go to any parties. Even when you are free, you would rather hide at home and get moldy than go out for a walk, which is not good. Of course, I don't necessarily mean to socialize, But in the end, a person's life is only once, so enjoy it when it's time to enjoy it.

Ryman laughed. Yes, George, I will, definitely, seriously consider your suggestion.

Tonight, he is the absolute protagonist, at such a celebratory party,

Even though Lehman deliberately controlled the measure, he was already slightly drunk, but the insiders who came to socialize with him were still endless: he won the Golden Globe Award, the size is also an achievement, plus the Fury The box office trend is very good, and the success of the three films with different themes is also very convincing.

In the entertainment industry, getting good grades is always the best social weapon, and it still works when you are an actor, producer, photographer, etc.

Maybe before that, some people won't take you seriously, but when you show more and more successful side, there will be quite a few people who will change their minds, they will invite you to make a film, and they will be close to you— - The attitude of the conversation will also bring more respect.

Lehman clearly felt it, and even Shirley Lansing, the CEO of Paramount Pictures, smiled and greeted him for the first time. Before this, not to mention taking the initiative to see each other, the time between the two of them was very business-like and polite to each other. few. This is real.

......

cheers.

Bang... Another bottle of champagne was opened, the bubbles gushed out, and the glasses were filled one by one. Ryan and Thomas' faces were filled with joy.

After dealing with interpersonal interactions, Lehman also got together with his small group.

We got the Ballon d'Or. Thomas showed his excitement from the start.

Still, it's a pretty decent result, isn't it?

Ryan sat on a chair, held up a glass of champagne, and after the three clinked glasses, he said, Congratulations.

Congratulations to us. Lyman picked up the glass and drank it.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the Golden Globe Awards celebration banquet is getting more and more deserted. The awards season in 2002 has now been declared to have passed 2/3, and it has officially entered the final sprint stage.

Two days later, at 9:30 pm on January 27, the Oscar nomination party officially kicked off, revealing the annual Oscar nomination list.

In the midst of all the attention, Eli Dominic, accompanied by Frank Pearson, chairman of the Academy's jury, began announcing the Oscars' nominees.

The focus of attention is undoubtedly the competition for the best picture, Chicago, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Pianist, Gangs of New York and The Moment, these five films successfully squeezed into the last. The campaign link is also the last offensive against the little golden man.

After the nomination list came out, many people were surprised, not only the public, but even people in the industry did not expect it at all.

The two big hits, Adapted Screenplay and Cat and Mouse Game, were both smashed and left out. Some people even joked that Leonardo DiCaprio was really not loved by those old stubborn academics. He accompanies the Oscars all year round. What a miserable man.

Facts have also proved that he is really miserable, and in the end, he reluctantly relied on uglifying his appearance to no longer be treated differently.

Instead, it is the Pianist and the always low-key Chicago that have caused the most trouble recently.

This is not only amazed and can be said clearly, but also disrupted the planning and preparation of many people, and the opponents of the chess game that competed with each other have changed.

If we say that Chicago is one of Miramax's main films this year, although the screenings are low-key and the various awards trends are not often shown, it is a small-scale film, but the style of the film is very retro and nostalgic, which is poking the judges. In my heart, and at the last moment, there is a precedent for copying the feat of Shakespeare in Love, and considering that this is Harvey Weinstein's plan, it will not surprise everyone, then The Pianist is really surprising.

Everyone couldn't believe that the judges of the academy would risk so much public opinion pressure and insist on putting such a tainted film in the final competition.

In the history of Oscar, such a thing has never happened, and this is the most surprising point for everyone.

They may not be able to figure out what is the point of the academy judges doing this. The most troublesome thing is undoubtedly the behind-the-scenes public relations team of Adapted Script.

Leading for a whole season, they won major awards softly, but they died in an unbelievable way at the last moment. The ending came too suddenly, there was no sign, and they fell short.

Think carefully about the benefits of bringing The Pianist up, but I can't figure out how it will benefit the group of academy judges.

Could it be that Roman Polanski can still be freed from the crime, and if he fails to come to the United States to receive the award, he may not dare to come to the United States for the rest of his life, so what value does this Oscar nomination have to him and the judges?

Apparently pointless, but, the Academy judges did just that.

However, what they think in their minds will not make everyone care too much. Anyway, they can always do something about upsets every few years.

Perhaps it is to emphasize their sense of existence. After all, it is only during the Oscars season that everyone will think of them and demand them.

As for the nomination of the best foreign language film for Three Silly Bollywood, it seems a little calm.

After all, there have long been relevant signs in the circle, and the competition in this area has never been in the thinking of these film makers, and only those outsiders will care about this award. For the local people, it really does not mean much.

However, Lehmann does need it, and the CAA has done enough to make sure the nomination is safe.

At the end of the new year, not only did I contact Paramount Pictures to sell a thin noodles, but also contacted several theater chains to re-launch the market for point screenings, and in mid-January of the following year, I continued to spend money to buy the box office and improve the Three Silly. The market data of Bollywood made the judges feel that the popularity of the film's small-scale screening is still unabated.

And those various mainstream film critics associations and awards declarations also spent a lot of public relations fees, which made the impression of Three Silly Bollywood in the circle has been expanding in an orderly manner. And in the minds of the academy members, they quietly left enough popular qualifications to become a strong competitor in the final competition.

Such a step-by-step process, and there are no unexpected factors to make it upset, it is a normal result to get a nomination.

In addition, Three Silly Trouble in Bollywood is also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Cinematography. However, these two nominations are mostly technical, not the main campaign of the public relations team behind Lehmann. Target.

Still, with three nominations, it's clear that the movie is not bad in the minds of those judges.

And this year's Oscar's biggest hit is undoubtedly the latecomer Chicago, a total of 12 nominations, and except for the best actor, including all the popular awards. Harvey Weinstein's execution at the Oscars is strong.
