Producer [American Entertainment]

"Back to the Future 1" finally sold the copyrights of 007 countries, and was translated into many different languages, which is well known to people all over the world.Although the sales of videotapes, VCDs and DVDs are not comparable to that of ET back then, they are still close to that of last year's Star Wars and [-] series.

It's a pity that this popular and well-received Hollywood sci-fi comedy movie once again encountered the biggest embarrassment of the same type of movie-no award.

Whether it was the Golden Globe Awards at the beginning of the year or the British Academy Awards that just ended, "Back to the Future" only had nominations, such as Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Music, but it just didn't win.Not everyone can reproduce the myth of ET last year (except Oscar), not even the producer William himself.

In order to decipher the rumors made by reporter Barry, and to prevent himself and the Golden Globes from having any bad holidays, William made a special trip back to the United States in early February, before his aunt gave birth to Luciferd. , attended the Golden Globe Awards solemnly.

The result was no harvest.

Back to the Future's leading actor, Neil, was very excited, because he was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role.The beautiful and cunning brown-haired young man sat next to William, smiled and said to him: "This is the nomination of the best actor. Even if I don't win in the end, it proves that I have the potential to become the best actor. Who would have thought that I, Liar Neil, Born in Brooklyn, a gangster with a criminal record, has transformed himself into a million-dollar quasi-actor. As a friend, aren't you happy for me? You must be happy for me!"

The gold content of the best actor of the Saturn Award naturally cannot be compared with that of the Golden Globe Award. Even the nomination of the best actor of the Golden Globe Award is more valuable than the best actor of the Saturn Award.

"Congratulations." William smiled sincerely and blessed his friend.Although he didn't win a single award, which made him a little disappointed, he couldn't possibly go to shame his friends.It's really not easy for Neil and his three other brothers to get to this day. One of them was nominated for Best Supporting Actor by going back to the future.

Neil put his arms around William, smiled and waved towards the camera, and whispered in his ear: "That's right, don't let others arrange anything for you and the Golden Globe Awards."

William was taken aback, and finally realized what Neil had just said to him.

He said softly, "Thank you."

"Thank you, next time there is a scene to become a movie star, just remember to call me." Neil smiled generously, the kind of "you're welcome" that really treats William as a friend.

"Speaking of which, according to inside information, MiG is going to make an Olympic film, which is said to be an art film. Are you and your brothers interested?"

"must have!"

Since the box office of Back to the Future 1 came out, the movie scripts that invited Neil to star in have poured in like snowflakes, such as the protagonist with low cost, the important second actor of the blockbuster movie, etc., and so on, the advice given by his agent Arrow But it was "take a break", saying that something good might happen after the rest.

But Ah Luo is very mysterious, and he refuses to say what a good thing it is.Now, from William's mouth, Neil understood Ah Luo's good intentions.

As the agent of MiG and Neil at the same time, Ah Luo's professional ethics made it impossible for him to disclose MiG's new movie plan, which was still in the confidential period, to his artist Neil, but he could find a way to make Neil wait for this. good chance.At least it won't make Neil miss a really good movie because of the schedule problem.Unlike general managers who constantly extract the commercial value of artists, Ah Luo pays more attention to the development space of his artists. He calls this "fishing for big fish with a long line".

After becoming a "big fish", most of the "big fish" are naturally very grateful to Luo, and understand what it means to reciprocate.

"Are you finally willing to come back from Italy?" Neil naturally thought that William would be the producer of MiG's movie. Everyone knew that William, Wendy and MiG were golden partners.

"No, MiG is the director and producer. Wendy has her own movie to be the producer, but I will be the executive producer of MiG's movie. I am very optimistic about this movie, so I have to make a name for it no matter what. The specific performance contract and script, my assistant (after Jiye left, two male interns brought by Wendy, one became an assistant and the other became a secretary) will send it to you soon. But it’s not I’m too anxious, the filming won’t start until the end of June at the earliest. Before that, you can seize the time to play a guest role, participate in some variety shows, shoot commercials and so on.”

"OK, I will inform Ah Luo to adjust the schedule."

Because of Neil's cover-up at the Golden Globe Awards, William finally did not have any "gossip" with the Golden Globe Awards.In the media interview after the event, William was also deeply inspired, and expressed openly and sincerely: "What's wrong with me? This is the Golden Globe Award. No matter how many people want to be nominated, they can't get it."

Such a standard answer seems to have opened up William's second line of leadership, allowing him to have a more slippery and calm attitude when he participated in the Oscars on April 4.

"We won an award. Isn't it the best music award? Be careful with my music producer and you. And, how should I put it, the nomination is also an award in a sense. This is Robert and Bob For the first time nominated for an Oscar, the nomination for best screenplay is enough to prove that they are outstanding among their peers; Miguel has also been nominated for best director, think about it, a science fiction film can be nominated for best director, we still have What do you want?"

Spielberg was still joking: "Oh, Will, you can just say 'Even Spielberg has only been nominated for best director for science fiction films', I don't mind."

"How can I say that, my friend, I'll just say that even 'Steven and George' are BALABALA."

Lucas said that he was a bit wronged by rushing to lie down.

William's starting point was too high, which made many people can't help worrying that he would be born with pride and arrogance when he was still very young.Don't think it's unbelievable to think this way. Many people really think so, even Wheeler's old friends in the Academy (Oscar jury).

You can say that they are the old people's old-fashioned thinking, or you can say that they are stubborn and inflexible, but no matter what, they can't stop them from thinking this way.

In recent years, William's movies have been well received but have not won awards. These people have some intentions to deliberately suppress William.The news reaction of William's "grievance" in the past few years also seems to prove his pride from the side.

How many people were not nominated, and William was "wronged" when he got the nomination?

This year, William changed his high profile in previous years and acted in the opposite way. Whether he was acting to the media, or he really grew up and understood what humility is, this has greatly benefited the elderly.They will have a sense of satisfaction that their "education" has paid off.Wheeler finally has a successor, and everyone is telling everyone like this.

Then, the olive branch from Oscar was finally handed over to William on his own initiative. A veteran director friend who had a good relationship with Wheeler opened the phone for William himself.

The other party said on the phone, don't forget the failure of MGM.

The meaning of these words can already be said to be a very obvious hint.

How did MGM turn from prosperity to decline?

There are many reasons, such as the big tree attracting the wind, or the protracted anti-monopoly case.better than...

MGM was once famous for making gorgeous musicals with big scenes. Those musicals have indeed ushered in box office and awards for MGM. Among them, Wheeler's "Ben-Hur" is the master and Donen's "Singin' in the Rain".

...Success also sings and dances, and defeat also sings and dances.

Those song and dance movies that require a lot of investment, although they can make huge profits for MGM, will also cause MGM to lose everything because of a careless investment.When MGM invested a lot of money and arranged a lot of gorgeous scenes, but the audience didn't buy it, MGM should pay a sky-high tuition fee for it, which almost made MGM breathless. Angry tuition.

But this is not the focus of the "white old men" on Oscar's side. The point they hinted is that William can try not to follow the trend of blockbuster movies, so maybe there will be surprises next year.

"Yeah!" William excitedly picked up his little cousin who was playing on the crib, and kissed him several times while circling.

Although he was only a few months old, his cousin, who had just shown signs of facial paralysis, was very calm. He let William hold him in circles, kissing and kissing again and again, but his face was still expressionless.

On the contrary, Marshmallow, which has been competing for favor recently, showed a "fierce" look at William's feet, and it felt that its status was really in jeopardy.Obviously, when this was the case before, the stupid servant would hug me and circle around.I really want to send this obstructive human cub away by mail QAQ "What's so happy?" When Sabatino came back, he saw William holding Luciferd in front of the crib... Uh, it should be dancing, right?

"I've finally passed."

In fact, as early as after taking advantage of Wheeler's advantage and winning the Oscar in one fell swoop, William realized that he would be "suppressed" by the Oscar to prevent young people from being young and energetic. This can be deduced using common sense.

The Oscars have always maintained this tradition. Those who have won the best actor or actress once will obviously not be favored by the Oscars so quickly.

So in these years, William, who knew that he would not have a lot of fate with Oscars, simply let 2B250 set its "eyes" on blockbuster movies at the box office, rather than movies that are likely to win awards.

William is not the kind of character who will submit to everything. Now that he knows that Oscar will not talk to him, he will definitely not rush to seek abuse.

He changed his path, and it was very successful.

However, the contacts left by Wheeler at the beginning did not look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, and it was impossible for them to completely stop caring about William.To put it in a snobby way, they also have their own children and disciples, and they want to see them being taken care of and invested in in the future. William is undoubtedly the best choice.

So the hard work paid off, from 1980 to 1985, William finally let go of the wait there.

"Mig's next movie will crush others, I have a hunch."

"Speaking of which, what will MiG's next film be? Celebrity biographies? Reflect on the humanistic care of World War II? Call on everyone to pay attention to special groups?" There are only a few tastes for Oscar, and it's actually pretty easy to guess.

William shook his head, neither, but both.

MiG plans to adapt "Because We Are Family" into a movie, which is the cultural line that Sabatino planned to subtly plant in public opinion.

They've got novels and comics, now it's the turn of the movies.

"Because We Are a Family" basically talks about how two neighbors who helped each other became a family in the end in World War II.There are not only the humanistic reflections of World War II, but also Oscar's favorite tear-jerking family relationship. In a sense, it can be regarded as a celebrity documentary. No one can deny that the old Bernstein is not a celebrity.

Of course, Bernstein Sr.'s last name doesn't appear in the film, only his first name—Carl, a wealthy Jewish businessman played by Neil.Neil's friends will play Karl's Jewish friends and Nazi officers.

"Neil?" Sabatino frowned, "Will he look too good-looking?"

To be honest, Old Bernstein is definitely not the type with outstanding looks.He is really ordinary, but it is precisely because of this ordinary that he escaped the vendettas again and again in those years when he first joined the family.

"Mig's sissy make-up artist friend will turn wonder into decay."

"Then who will play Anna's great-grandmother and Maggie's grandmother?" Sabatino had to remind William that if Anna's great-grandmother was not chosen, his mother would be the first to get mad and stop them from filming.Elizabeth's love for William was originally the empathetic William's great-grandmother Anna, and William and Anna look nine points alike.

This is indeed a problem, a big problem.Even William wasn't sure how much face he had with Aunt Elizabeth in the matter of Anna's great-grandmother.
