"You know, not long ago, I talked about this work with...uh, a few friends." John paused, not saying the name of "Friends", and seemed a little conservative. "They did show some rejection - you must admit that Lance is really too bold, right? But I believe that all this is a misunderstanding, and now the controversy has been settled, right? Believe me, as long as Lance attends such an occasion, his charm will definitely conquer the whole audience."

"I never doubt this." Cole nodded in agreement with a smile, "He should be more attractive than Lee/An."

A word that flashed the water was enough for John. "Brokeback Mountain" was more than a little better than "Raging Road", but what was the result? In fact, true industry veterans know that "Brokeback Mountain" is impossible to win an award. From the beginning, because this work touched the bottom line of the old stubborns in the academy, they even refused to watch this movie. This year, it is estimated that the old stubborns watched the "Raging Road", but it is hard to say that they like it. In addition to the so-called gender controversy, the cult style of "Raging Road" also makes it difficult for many conservatives to accept - a rock musician standing on a carriage and playing guitar? God, this is simply a thorn in the butt.

John nodded meaningfully, but avoided the topic and said politely, "Don't worry, at least Lance has this vote, I'm sure!"

The friendship between John and the Coen brothers is very strong, which is also the main reason why Cole and John join in. The Coen brothers' support for Lance is not just friendship, but also for independent movies and cult movies. John has always agreed with the concept of the Coen brothers, so it is not surprising that John is willing to vote for Lance.

"Ha, aren't you worried that those feminists will come to you?" Cole teased, which made John laugh happily. Then, Cole changed the subject. The two chatted for a while, then he said goodbye, turned around and walked towards Alec-Bladwin.

John stayed in place, his thoughts turned quietly in his head, and then a greeting sound came from his ear, "John, you look a little out of mind." John turned his head and saw Denzel Washington walking towards him, "Why, don't tell me, you are looking for prey. It's not easy to hide from Annabeth in such an occasion today." Annabeth Hatzog, John's wife, is a very low-key loving couple in Hollywood, and has been married for more than seventeen years.

"Did you say your thoughts?" John's counterattack made Denzel laugh, "No, I'm thinking about how many people would be willing to vote for the 'Raging Road', and how many women would be happy to see such a result." The failure of the 'Raging Road', whether this was a feminist victory or a college conservative victory, John suddenly felt that things became interesting.

Denzel pursed his lips and thought for a while, "I think those men who like explosions, racing, and adrenaline should be willing to vote. After all, there are not many bold and retro action movies like "Rampant Road".

John touched his chin and chuckled, "Why, don't you mind casting the votes to Lance?"

Denzel shrugged, not saying anything.

For the men in Hollywood, this is a multiple-choice question: Should we stand on the side of the academy conservatives and boycott cult movies like the "Rampant Road"; or should we stand on the side of men, confront feminism and art films, and to maintain the status of "Rampant Road" as a pure, direct, bloody, and violent action movie.

Everyone must have their own measurements in their hearts. It can be seen that Cole and Dorothy's strategies are different. Women's disadvantages are very obvious in Hollywood. What Dorothy needs to do is to awaken their sense of identity; but men are the ones that have the advantage. Cole not only needs to use feminism to stimulate these conservatives, break out of their own ideological limitations, and choose to vote for common interests, but also needs to emphasize the "Raging Road" of men. In the final analysis, this is an action movie that detonates adrenaline.

As the "Variety Show" magazine said, "Rampage Road" is a very complicated movie, with a thousand Hamlets in a thousand viewers. Conservatives see the extraordinary movie, old people see the curiosity of the movie, radicals see the contradiction between rights and discrimination... Knowledge background, quality education and personality background will determine their views on things, and they are also their views on "Rampage Road".

Because the base of men in the academy is very large and has an absolute advantage, Cole naturally cannot convince every man to decide to vote, so what he needs to do is to awaken this "difference", give up those stubborn votes, and concentrate on those men who keep a middle-level position, see what Lance wants them to see, and then vote.

This is not an easy task. Cole has been busy all night and has gained mediocre results. She didn't make much progress in her conversation with Alec Baldwin just now. Fortunately, besides women and men, Lance's academy public relations also has a killer weapon, which is enough to add more confidence to Cole. Taking a deep breath, Cole took another step and walked towards Scott Rudin.

Ian Strello took a sip of the whiskey in his hand, "No, I will cast the Best Picture for the Tower of the Sky, and then the Best Director will cast the Best Director for Martin." Then, he smiled gracefully, "Of course, I don't have the right to vote, so I'm just talking."

Harvey Weinstein, who was standing in front of him, showed a look of disbelief, looked at Ian jokingly, and said half-jokingly, "Even if you surrender, you should at least support another work in your family, right?" Harvey was talking about the "Queen".

Ian nodded with a smile, "Of course. But I don't think we have a chance. You should know better than me that those giant crocodiles are not just casual words." The giant crocodiles mentioned here refer to six major film companies, especially Warner Bros.

Harvey half-squinted his eyes, looked at every detail of Ian's expression, paused for about two seconds before saying, "I thought you were ready to challenge a higher level."

"Ha, we are ready, no, it should be said that we have started to challenge." Ian's confident expression made Harvey's eyes flash slightly, and then he nodded slightly in agreement, "But it is because this game has begun that the difficulties we are facing are even more difficult, right? I don't think those giant crocodiles will leave us any chance, especially Lance has really offended many people now."

Ian's words mean very simple: Chaos Pictures' strong rise disrupted the order of Hollywood, which is the most uncomfortable for the six major film companies. The greater the threat of Chaos Pictures, the more fierce the competition. Everyone knows that the authority of Oscars is unquestionable, but the power of public relations has the ability to control the situation, so the six major film companies will definitely not easily allow Chaos Pictures to develop smoothly. This year's awards season, the "Rampage Road" can be said to be difficult, but relatively speaking, Warner Brothers is full of momentum, so Warner Brothers will definitely not let go easily, especially in the miserable defeat in the summer season, even if it is not to suppress Chaos Pictures, they still need this Oscar victory.

No one in Hollywood knows better about such suppression than the Weinstein brothers. When they founded Miramax Pictures, they almost appeared as a comet, and were immediately surrounded by six major film companies. In the end, Disney's Michael Esner was the most decisive and directly acquired Miramax, which ended the storm of the Weinstein brothers. Now, Weinstein Pictures has been established, and the two brothers need to take the entrepreneurial path again. They naturally empathize with Chaos Pictures' situation.

"Lance is indeed a bastard, and we can't deny this." As cunning as Harvey naturally would not respond directly to Ian's hint, "So, has Lance decided to give up?"

"Oh, no, of course not." Different objects and strategies are naturally different. Ian did not change his way like Dorothy and Cole, but instead changed his way. "In fact, Lance is doing his best, but this competition is no longer a competition between works and works, and individuals. For us now, there is still too little power to mobilize."

What Ian alludes to is not the conflict between individuals such as actors or directors and large film companies, which is different from last year's "hard fruit candy"; what Ian implies is the complementary relationship between the college's senior management and large film companies.

As we all know, there are interests where there are people, and naturally there are contradictions. The college is actually a relatively independent institution. The interests between them and film companies are not direct. Film companies need the commendation and attention of the Oscars. Similarly, the college also needs the support and support of film companies.

To give a brief example, if all the five best film nominations in a year come from independent film companies and large film companies are absent, then these giants are naturally lacking in interest, which directly leads to the desolation of awards season, the negative public relations of the college, and the sluggish Oscar publicity. This will not only affect the Oscar ratings, but also affect the authority and the public foundation of the Oscars. In fact, in the final analysis, it is the balance between business and art, and even Oscars are no exception. How to find a balance between catering to the people and respecting art is still a serious issue facing the college.

Therefore, the relationship between the college and the film company is also quite subtle.

What Ian is hinting about now is this subtle relationship. Because Chaos Pictures' strong rise has disrupted the entire Hollywood situation, this Oscar game has begun to become more and more complicated. Warner Bros. is unwilling to lose the Oscar competition again. So what does the academy have about Chaos Pictures?
