Every year from January to the Oscars in February or March, it is the awards season in North America. Many awards will be awarded one after another at this time. The most important ones are several Film Critics Association Awards, several major labor union awards, and the Journalists Association

The Golden Globe Awards, and then the Oscars, which attract worldwide attention.

The Oscars are always awarded at the end, and the Golden Globes are usually awarded in late January. These two have hardly changed. Although the other ones have a general time, the specific time depends on the situation.

However, no matter how the adjustments are made, these awards will be awarded within two to three months. It has become a great pleasure for people to guess who will win, or who will win all the way to the Oscars, and these awards will be

Call it an outpost.

For those who are interested in competing for the Oscars, if they can win these awards, they can increase their reputation and warm up for the Oscars. Secondly, they can also have the opportunity for better public relations. After all, some of the judges for these awards are also film academies.

of members.

But this is also a technical job. If a certain judge feels that since he has won a certain Film Critics Association Award or a certain union award for you, he doesn’t owe you anything, so he votes for someone else when selecting Oscars.

, that would be too bad.

What's more, the film academy is also trying to figure out how to be careful not to be too similar to some awards. A few years ago, there was a situation where the Oscar awards and the Golden Globes completely overlapped, so Sean needs his own team to make careful plans.

"We have not conducted large-scale, strong public relations in the past few years, which is somewhat detrimental to us." Sanders said at this time, "Some people may think that it is utilitarian for us to start doing this now, so we might as well post two

Let’s talk about it next year.”

"What you are talking about is indeed a problem, but it can also be viewed from another angle." Frederick said calmly, "We can show a humble attitude, that is: the reason why Sean did not

I engage in public relations because I know that my qualifications are not enough to fight for too much."

"This is possible, but it is not easy to make them believe it." Sanders said after thinking for a while.

"I don't really think that Sean's four Oscar nominations have proven that he has the ability to win awards, especially two of them were nominated by colleagues last year. We can find a way on this," Frederick gestured

He strengthened his tone and said, "They like this trick. I can guarantee that as long as we have enough adaptability."

As he said this, he looked at Sean with obvious excitement, hoping that he would make a decision.

No wonder, as an agent, who doesn’t want his client to be a movie king or a movie queen? And in the past few years, Frederick is only one step away from being a partner of Endeavor. If Sean can win the award, he will be able to get out of this situation.

Taking one step is very easy, so naturally I hope Sean can successfully reach the top more than anyone else.

"Okay, let's do it." Sean pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision, "Just ask me if you need anything."

"In that case, you will have to travel to various parties throughout January, or even most of February, Sean." Sanders reminded.

"It doesn't matter. Now that I've made my choice, I have to keep going," Sean clenched his fists, "But you have to come up with a plan first. David's side won't be able to close the filming until mid-January at the earliest.

I need to discuss it with him."

"Are there still a lot of shots to be shot now?" Frederick asked.

"Not many," Sean shook his head, "They are all shots on the ship. You know, according to the script, Benjamin did not get off the ship until after World War II, and he also participated in rescuing soldiers who fell into the water after the war. These were a bit troublesome to shoot.

.”

"Okay, I will communicate with David Fincher." Frederick nodded.

After discussing a few more details, the matter was over for the time being, and then Sean turned to Vladimir again: "Tell me about your side, Todd, what happened?"

"Don't you know yet?" Vladimir was a little surprised, and then smiled bitterly, "The writers' strike has caused us a lot of losses."

"Writers' strike?" Sean was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, "It's really bad. What are the specific losses?"

As early as early November, the Writers Guild began its first strike, which resulted in the shutdown of talk shows and the announcement of the suspension of this season of "24". However, the scale was not very large at that time, so although some programs were affected,

The basic order is still maintained.

However, in late November, just before Thanksgiving, the situation began to spread. "Angels & Demons," the sequel to "The Da Vinci Code" that was released to great acclaim and continued to be controversial, announced that it would be postponed, becoming the first movie to be affected.

Originally, the Writers Guild said they could negotiate, but the Producers Union put on airs and said they wanted to negotiate? Start work first! This attitude naturally angered the writers who had already decided to go to war, so the Writers Guild began to launch a large-scale

Bigger strike.

After entering December, the Producers Alliance was under pressure and began negotiations with the Writers Guild again, but their attitude did not change, so the negotiations broke down on the same day.

After that, the Screenwriters Guild launched more and bigger strikes, and countless movies and televisions in production were stopped. The losses were even more incalculable. If "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" had not been almost completed, those scenes would have basically

It's all in Finch's mind, and it will definitely be affected.

In short, during this period, major Hollywood production companies are having a hard time, and Samsara Pictures, which has officially become the first of the second-tier production companies with "Twilight" and "Iron Man", is definitely having a hard time as well.

"Basically everything has been stopped. All the movies and TV series in production have been stopped," Vladimir sighed. "Others are fine, but "Superheroes" was terrible. You know, when they first produced it,

A team of writers was recruited, and each main character has one or two writers who are responsible for outlining the character. Therefore, unless the strike subsides soon and all the writers come back, the reputation of this series may be ruined.

"

"What about the others?" Sean frowned.

"Everything has stopped, whether it's "The Twilight Saga - New Moon" in preparation, or "The Hangover" that you're interested in, which has already started, everything has been stopped, without exception." Vladimir spread his hands.

.

"What do you want me to do?" Sean pondered for a moment, then asked, and then continued without waiting for an answer: "You know, I am best known as an actor now, and the Screen Actors Guild has announced its support for screenwriters

The union is on strike, and many actors have also issued statements supporting the strike, so it is impossible for me to stand up and call for anything, not to mention that I have to carry out low-profile public relations actions."

When I met George Clooney at Christmas, the guy reminded us that we should do what we should do. At that time, Sean didn't understand what he was talking about. Now after discussing it with Vladimir,

He reacted immediately.

However, it is impossible for him to side with the Producers Alliance. Although he is actually the chairman of Samsara Pictures, his main external identity is still an actor. Unless Sean plans to stop being an actor and become a producer in the future, otherwise, it will inevitably

On the actor's side, you may even have to make a public statement.

In this case, the loss of reincarnation may be even greater. Unfortunately, there is no solution to this. Looking back on Clooney's posture, it is obvious that he is planning to stand up to support the writers' strike. He also has actors in his own production company. Although

His production company and Sean Reincarnation Pictures are two different things. It is impossible to compare the two, but the public does not think so, so... it is no wonder that when Clooney said that to him at the time, he had a vague look of gloating.

"I know, I know..." Vladimir sighed with a wry smile. Apparently he also knew about Sean's predicament, so he didn't mention it again, but turned to other aspects, "Someone within the company suggested reaching an agreement with the screenwriter as soon as possible.

protocol."

Sean frowned immediately, then relaxed and asked: "James? Leslie proposed it?"

"Yes." Vladimir smiled, happy that Sean understood what he meant.

James Leslie is one of the executive directors. He is usually very active in the company. He can be seen in many things. He always hopes to play a greater role. You don’t need to think about what this means to know, so this proposal means

There's no need to guess what you're wearing.

"What do you think?" Sean asked immediately.

"As long as an agreement is reached, there is no doubt that not only we will lose, but the big studios will also lose, but we must not be the first to reach an agreement." Vladimir said, "I have a hunch,

I'm afraid this strike will last another month."

"That's it." Sean expressed his support without thinking. They have been working together for several years, and this kind of trust is the most basic.

After a few more discussions about the strike, Sean called Sanders and Frederick over and asked them to take the strike into consideration. After exchanging opinions, he immediately went back to the bedroom to rest.

"They're all here, I can take a vacation now...ah!" As soon as she fell on the bed, Emma came over, and before she could finish speaking, she was pulled into Sean's arms.

"You just had a holiday." He held her in his arms and said.

"Sorry, I think you may have forgotten that there is another holiday called New Year!" Emma rolled her eyes and said, "What the hell, this is the first time I have met someone who separates the Christmas holiday and the New Year holiday."

"Because without you, I don't know what I would do." Sean hugged her and said softly, "Can you let me hold you for a while now?"

"Am I your doll?" Emma rolled her eyes again and struggled to get up.

Of course, Sean would not let her have her way. He immediately pushed her back on the bed, then pressed her on her body and kissed her painfully. Emma whined and struggled with little strength until Sean's hands began to knead her waist.

He suddenly opened his eyes, pushed him away, jumped up and slipped out. Of course, he didn't forget to give Sean a middle finger when he went out.
Chapter completed!
