Hollywood Rhapsody

Leonardo just heard about Sarah's decision to give up public relations. He almost didn't spit out a sip of coffee, and looked at Sarah with puzzled eyes: "Why? Because of the previous public relations scandal of "Gangs of New York"? But awards lobbying It has long been a tradition of awards season, and it is a public relations method that everyone will use, are you even giving up on this?"

"Yes, I don't plan to ask any PR to lobby the judges for me." Sarah shook the newspaper in her hand, and smiled softly while reading the newly released film reviews, "I just want to see how far my acting skills have reached. How far, I heard that Meryl Streep's films don't need public relations. As long as there are her works, the judges will take the initiative to pay attention to them without lobbying. This should be the greatest recognition of an actor's acting skills, right? "

"Who said she doesn't need a PR? It's just that the PR is weak, right? Every award season, the attention paid to her is always high." Leonardo retorted subconsciously, but soon he realized the crux of the problem It's not how Meryl Streep, the senior, behaves. It's what Sarah wants. He put down the coffee cup, and at the same time put away his joking expression, and looked at Sarah seriously, "This Is it really the agreement you made with Katharine Hepburn? I have heard that there are rumors that you and Katharine Hepburn agreed to only seek awards for your acting skills in "Hope", and there are even rumors that Katharine Hepburn asked you to No more PR for any awards..."

When Leonardo said the end, his tone was obviously skeptical. I am afraid that no actor in Hollywood can do this. Not wanting any public relations is almost equivalent to not wanting any awards.Of course, he didn't rule out that there would be a movie star who performed so well in a certain year that the judges didn't have to hesitate at all, and there was no other choice but to choose her, but how many times could such a crushing advantage appear?In the final analysis, public relations methods are still indispensable, otherwise there are so many candidate films, how can the members of the academy see them?If you want to compete for an award, you must first ensure that your film has at least been seen by the judges, and lobbying is a group of people who invite the judges to enter the screening hall to watch the movie.

"A promise? No, Catherine won't make such a boring promise with me." Sarah laughed, and simply put down the newspaper, and couldn't help smiling at Leonardo's concerned eyes, "Are you worrying about me? Afraid that I might miss out on a good chance to compete for an award? Ahem... how should I put it, I am of course eager for an award, especially this time, I dream of wanting the film "Hope" to win an award."

"I understand that this movie has a different meaning to you." Leonardo nodded. Of course he knew the meaning of "Hope". It is Sarah's regret that she passed away without waiting for the examination papers to be graded!But in this way, shouldn't Sarah try her best to win the prize?With such a big wave of his hand, what happened to fate! ?Leonardo looked at the woman sitting across the table, and for the first time felt that Sarah was committing a rare act of innocence!He stood up, pulled Sarah up together, and walked out of the room with his arms around Sarah's little shoulders. Little Noah went to play at the house of his new friend, and the two adults occupied the room for the little guy. swing frame.

Leonardo pressed Sarah on the seat, and while gently pushing, he asked with a smile: "Don't you think it's too bad not to use public relations? After all, other actors have hired public relations, and the starting line of this competition is all slanted." , It’s not fair to you! So, my dear, who are you competing with now? Such a willful decision is not like your style.”

"Is it willful not to hire a PR?" Sarah sat on the swing, turned her head and stretched out her hand, grabbing Leonardo's sleeve.

She is sitting, Leonardo is standing.She raised her head and blinked her eyes, and asked in such a serious manner, no matter what the question was, anyway, Leonardo felt that Sarah looked cute at this moment, and she was really a little willful, her eyes blinked so innocently, It's so self-willed!

He couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth, leaning down, brushing away the shattered hair on Sarah's forehead with his fingers, kissing the woman's smooth forehead, and whispering with a sigh: "Anyway, we have the capital to be willful, that Oscar actress The last statuette was brought home a few years ago, and there is no shortage of that bottle..."

But who would dislike having too many statuettes?She privately lamented the legendary performance of Katharine Hepburn's four actresses many times, eager to try to equal or even surpass this record, but surpassing is also a prerequisite. into the hands of Catherine; one is to use public relations methods, use resources and contacts, and struggle to win a little golden man... Is the gold content and meaning of this also different?Because of this difference, and also because she was tired of public relations methods in the circle, she made a "willful" decision in the eyes of others.

Sarah pursed her lips, wanting to tell Leonardo her mental journey, wanting to complain about the importance of acting skills and public relations, but these words circled around her tongue, after all, she didn't think about the public relations awards in the future Say your thoughts.In that case, how will Leonardo, who has been with her day and night, deal with himself in the future?Follow her example and pursue pure acting skills regardless of awards?Or continue to follow the tradition of public relations and lobbying, appearing to be too utilitarian and chasing fame and fortune?She doesn't like any of them, so it's better not to say anything.

"Just treat me as willful!" Sha stretched her arms around Leonardo's neck, raised her head and kissed the man standing beside her, the swing was swinging slightly, but their lips and teeth never separated.The issue of award public relations seems to have been taken care of by this kiss. After all, the protagonist of the incident doesn’t care. Even if others regret it, they can’t say much. Leonardo is worried that Sarah will regret if she misses the award, but seeing the girl now With a firm mind and offering her lips, how could she persuade her again?

It's just that after a kiss, it's still inevitable to focus on the film reviews published by the media. How much affirmation and praise can Sarah get without the promotion of public relations?To be honest, Leonardo is also looking forward to this. As an actor, he has already become a packaged commodity without knowing it, so sometimes even he himself can't tell whether the movie reviews he gets are genuine or fake. , For example, "Sniper Phone Booth", which was released not long ago, among the countless praises he received, how many were sincere appreciation from film critics, and how many were due to the influence of the public relations team?

"A tie?" Leonardo looked at the headline in the newspaper and smiled very happily. There was no other reason. After "Hope" was released, all the film critics gave an overwhelming five-star rating on Sarah's acting skills. , so good that it seems that there is a PR pushing the RBI!While praising Sarah's acting skills, many reports did not forget to bring out Leonardo, who is also recognized for his acting skills, to "show affection".

"The two most promising couples in Hollywood turned out to be lovers! No wonder they went around for three years and finally came together again, because they are the only ones worthy of each other!"

"Both breakthroughs in acting skills, golden boy and jade girl go hand in hand!" This is a well-regulated report by the "Los Angeles Times".

"The curtain of the awards season has kicked off, and Sarah and Leonardo are sweeping together!" This is the "Chicago Sun" after Roger Ebert gave "Sarah, this girl's future is immeasurable". The upcoming awards season has been predicted, among which Sarah and Leonardo, the newly reunited couple, are almost undoubtedly the seed players, whether it is "The Aviator" or "Sniper Phone Booth", or "Hope" , the three films have already been "favored" by film critics from all walks of life, but how many awards can they win?As an important outpost award, the New York Film Critics Association Awards will soon announce the first outpost results.

"The Aviator" helped Leonardo win the best actor, and the female supporting role was also given to Sarah who played Katharine Hepburn. As for the best actress who was watched the most by insiders... no public relations?The New York Film Critics Association Awards boast that they pay the most attention to the fundamentals of film, will the award be given to Sarah?The other actresses are actually pretty good too...

Diane Keaton of "Love Is Compromising," Samantha Morton of "Advance to Heaven," Naomi Watts of "21 Grams," Nicole Kidman of "Cold Mountain," Day Scarlett Johansson from The Girl with the Pearl Earring, Cate Blanchett from Toxic News…

If we talk about leading actresses with excellent acting skills, we can casually count a long list, each of which is worthy of the word "good"!But to be honest, none of the people here are on the same line as Sarah in "Hope". This is not an exaggeration. Anyone who has really watched these works can clearly distinguish the level of acting skills , other works are easy to say, but Sarah's performance in "Hope" is like a solitary peak rising from the mountains, which is obviously higher than the others.

Biographical movies are supposed to highlight the type of actors. The serial female killer played by Sarah has such a distinctive personality. This year seems to stand out from the crowd, this year...in fact, it can be regarded as the young year of the actress!

When the New York Film Critics Association Award awarded the Best Actress to Sarah, unexpectedly, few people in the circle were surprised. "Doing any public relations is no longer a small-scale secret, but the award is still given to Sarah. Even if it is an outpost award, it can already explain some problems. When a person's acting skills are really good enough to be significantly higher than competitors , all public relations methods are just floating clouds!

However, the results of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards have undergone earth-shaking changes. The best actor was awarded to Sean Penn of "Mystic River", and the best actress was awarded to Diane Penn of "Love is a Compromise". Keaton, the only thing that remains the same is that the best supporting actress is still given to Sarah who perfectly reproduces Katharine Hepburn.

Obviously, film critics miss the feelings of the older generation of legendary actresses, so, if there is no accident, Sarah should be able to sweep this year's Best Supporting Actress Award, and even the Golden Globes and Oscars in the future should also sell this film. feelings.It is precisely because of this that even though Renee Zellweger in "Cold Mountain" performed well, Sarah is the only one whose name appears in the Outpost Awards currently out.

And the actress award... When Sarah took away the award from the New York Film Critics Association, no one would praise the fairness of the New York Film Critics Association, but when the Los Angeles Film Critics Association gave the award to others, it was like an invisible thug, With a "bang", the door of the association was pushed open, and countless gazes were thrown over, with a bit of inquiry and a bit of understanding——

Can 'Love Is Compromise''s Diane Keaton Performance Outshine 'Hope''s Sarah?What are the odds?Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and you smile knowingly. In fact, you all know it well in your heart. There is a role for public relations in this, right?Is the Los Angeles Film Critics Association really not afraid of jokes?Have they really watched both movies seriously?Both are excellent, but are they really comparable?

I didn't intend to slander the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, but many people really want to ask... Are you really not getting any benefits?

The author has something to say: Wow!Diane Keaton is great, it’s necessary to write such a complete plot here, if you are a fan of it, don’t spray it...
