Ronald seemed to understand something. He picked up the list of winners and looked at it carefully.

Director James L. Brooks' "Broadcast News" was the big winner, along with his best director win for leading actor William Hurt.

"Wall Street" by Michael Douglas

…

A large number of people who have won big awards at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards are Jewish.

"Okay, Michael, let's continue at our own pace. I guess there won't be any of these nasty guys coming to disrupt the next Kansas Film Critics Association Awards."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Michael Gray left, Ronald closed the door and quietly asked Richard Leavitt, the assistant agent he trusted most

A confidant along the way.

"Do you know what's going on? Why are they upset with Spielberg?"

"I only heard some rumors, the kind that are baseless."

Richard also lowered his voice and spoke, even though this was Ronald's home and no one would show up.

Richard believes that the main reason is that although Spielberg is of Jewish descent, he has no interest in Jewish values, that is, Judaism.

He neither went to a Jewish synagogue to participate in the ceremony, nor did he celebrate the mainstream Christmas in America. Most importantly, when raising his children, he did not use Jewish traditions to perform necessary rituals.

Therefore, those old-school Jews were very dissatisfied with him, and maybe they wanted to take this opportunity to show Spielberg a bit of shame.

"In addition, I guess my boss, Mr. Ovitz, also played a role in it. He has been urging Spielberg to join CAA, but the other party has always declined. If he can let Spielberg again at this year's Oscars,

If Berg is frustrated, his invitation will be more powerful..."

After thinking for a while, Ronald generally understood.

In short, among the Jewish people in Hollywood, Spielberg has always been dissatisfied with the fact that freedom is more important than tradition. This time they just took this opportunity to beat him.

Those film reviews that hurt the profound themes, only pursue box office, abuse children to tell stories, and other clichés are criticizing Spielberg for not observing Jewish customs and not passing on Jewish traditions to the next generation.

If a major Hollywood director cannot set an example, many Jews will abandon their Jewish traditions in one or two generations. At that time, except for their big noses, they will be no different from ordinary Americans.

Therefore, the Jews in the New York film critics circle unanimously voted for Jewish directors and actors such as James L. Brooks and Michael Douglas who have repeatedly stated in public that they abide by their Jewish identity and traditions.

In the end, they got what they wanted and shaved their heads for Spielberg's new film "Empire of the Sun", while their own "Moonlight" was just collateral damage.

On the other hand, Olympia Dukakis was awarded the second place for Best Supporting Actress in this situation. It seems that she has the best chance of receiving an Oscar nomination.

Michael Ovitz, an old fox, must have known the inside story. He deliberately didn't remind Spielberg and secretly fueled the situation. Only after Spielberg was disappointed would he invite him to join CAA again.

"Richard, we have been together for a long time, why do you never seem to behave like a Jew?" Ronald looked at Richard. This agent had been very considerate to him from the beginning and did not have any of the usual Jewish behavior.

Use the means on yourself.

"Why am I not a Jew?" Richard smiled. His glasses were becoming more and more design-conscious, and they looked like they were specially made by famous designers.

"I'm just not an Ashkenazi Jew, I'm a Sephardic Jew... My surname Levitt is not the German transliteration of Levit, but the French transliteration of Leavitt."

"That's it," Ronald patted Richard on the shoulder.

It turns out that Richard is another Jewish group that is more common in Spain, Italy, Russia and other places - Sephardic Jews. Sephardic originally refers to the Iberian Peninsula, and later dispersed to various Western European countries after the Reconquista movement. They

He speaks Ladino and looks like a Latino.

The most concentrated group of Jews in America, especially in New York, are Ashkenazi Jews. They are descendants of Eastern European countries, mainly Poland and German countries, and speak Yiddish. They are also the ones who pay the most attention to religious traditions, and

Mainstream in Hollywood and financial circles.

It is the Ashkenazi Jews who talk about Auschwitz every day, because they are the ones who suffered terribly in World War II.

The Sephardic Jews have been mixed with the Latin peoples of southern Europe for the past few years. How should I say? Some of their personalities are also tainted with the characteristics of southern Europeans, and the characteristics of the hump nose are not obvious.

"Thank you, Richard. Mr. Ovitz, if there are other developments, we can discuss what to do."

"Ring ring ring ring..."

The phone rang just then, and Ronald picked up the receiver.

"Ronald, I'm Paula..."

"Paula, hello." Ronald smiled at Richard.

"Brooke Shields and I had a good conversation. She is a very smart girl. We will sign a contract tomorrow morning. Can you come to the signing ceremony? I feel that if you are here, it can make Brooke feel better."
