Chapter 911 egalitarianism
"I believe that tonight will be a victory for us!"
In the camera footage, a girl with long blond hair waved the rainbow flag in her hand vigorously and shouted: "It must be our victory!"
Not only her, but all the surrounding areas, the intersection of Highland Street and Avenue of Stars, within a few miles of Kodak Theater, the rainbow flag fluttered everywhere!
Today, almost all gay organizations in Southern California have attended, with only one goal to support Brokeback Mountain to win the award at tonight’s Oscars!
The rainbow flag flutters!
This social situation outside the game seems to set the tone for the upcoming 78th Academy Awards Ceremony.
Of course, these are inseparable from the embassy film industry's momentum for "Brokeback Mountain" for several months.
Looking back over the past decade, every Oscar winner has one thing in common - to use his own advantages to the extreme within the rules!
Since Harvey Weinstein joined this fame and fortune game called Oscar in the 1990s, the bottom line of the game rules has undoubtedly been lowered a lot.
After Ronan, the game rules were once again lowered, and the cost of winning the award also became higher.
If you don’t have more than $6 million in publicity and PR investment, don’t expect the four major awards.
In other words, Ronan and Relativity Entertainment further improves the entry qualification of Oscar games.
In recent years, Oscars have been sayings about "no award is true and credible", "everything has price and reward", "you can pay anything to win" and so on.
The ever-elevated public relations activities have completely changed the way the film is promoted during the awards season. We must become more proactive in order to become the final winner.
As long as the film can ensure a certain quality and is willing to actively promote and public relations, you can always get some tickets from the judges, and what you haven't got is that others have paid more than you.
During the promotion of "Brokeback Mountain", Embassy Films set a new record, mailing more than 100,000 DVDs in total, and a small gift was included in the DVD package in the name of video materials.
Because of the burning on the other side of the Pacific, DVD costs are very low. Even if the luxury suit costs less than $5, the coverage is something Hollywood has never seen before.
It is no exaggeration to say that from the judges and staff of the School of Film Arts and Sciences, to the slightly famous film and television bloggers in North America, to the influential media and journalists, the Embassy Film Company has taken care of everything, and at least ensures that they have DVDs and gifts from "Brokeback Mountain" in their hands.
Even the staff of some clubs and restaurants in Beverly Hills where the college judges often appear, received DVDs.
Their comments may reach the ears of some judges. Those judges who are used to voting with their feet do not go to the movies at all, and subconsciously choose familiar names.
People's hearts are often the most difficult to estimate. A little bit of seemingly inconspicuous small profits may prompt them to make biased choices.
Ronan did not walk the red carpet and went straight into the Kodak Theater.
Then, he unexpectedly met Jessica Felton.
"Why are you here?" Ronan asked.
Jessica Felton came to him in a capable lady suit and walked towards the hall together, saying, "The next awards season, Juno will also win the awards, so I'll come over to experience it in advance."
Ronan asked: "How is the project going?"
Jessica Felton whispered: "The post-production has been going on for some time. I communicated with Embassy Films and prepared to let Sofia Coppola take Juno to the Venice Film Festival, hoping to gain something."
The two came to the theater through the side door, and Ronan asked, "Where is your seat?"
Jessica Felton pointed to the right: "In the back."
Ronan invited, "I have two seats, but I didn't bring my female companion, go to the front with me?"
Jessica Felton thought for a while and said, "It's good, the atmosphere ahead is better."
Ronan glanced at her lady suit and said, "Why aren't you wearing an evening dress?"
Jessica Felton followed him toward the location where Brokeback Mountain crew was: "I can't walk the red carpet again, so I'm not ready."
"In your appearance," Ronan said the truth: "If you walk the red carpet, you will steal all the limelight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Harvey Weinstein suddenly stood up from the seat next to him and said, "Good evening, Ronan."
Ronan shook hands with him: "Hello, Harvey."
Harvey Weinstein's eyes fell on Jessica Felton. Seeing Ronan openly entering the Kodak Theater with a beautiful woman, he obviously misunderstood. He quickly introduced himself: "I am Harvey Weinstein, good evening."
Jessica Felton shook hands with Harvey Weinstein: "Hello, I am Jessica Felton of Sand Sea Entertainment."
Harvey Weinstein immediately thought of who this person was: "Miss Felton is the producer of the Pirates of the Caribbean series?"
Jessica Felton said modestly: "I'm just doing some daily management."
Harvey Weinstein said: "Miss Felton has a bright future."
Jessica Felton smiled and said nothing.
Ronan took over the topic: "How is your new company?"
"It's quite smooth." Harvey Weinstein glanced at Ronan and said, "It's better than being in Miramax."
He asked tentatively: "Disney and Michael Eisner..."
Ronan interrupted him: "Harvey, Relativity Entertainment has sold all its shares in Disney. How Disney has nothing to do with me."
Harvey Weinstein was speechless and could only complain in his heart: You told me that you were incompatible with Michael Eisner, but Roy Disney was going to vomit blood!
Ronan patted Harvey Weinstein on the shoulder and said, "Let's talk later."
Watching Roy Disney and the super fierce beauty leave, Harvey Weinstein returns to his seat, considering Disney's situation in the past six months. As an outsider, a person who thinks he knows Roy Disney and Michael Eisner have all fallen into the pit that Roy Disney and Michael Eisner have been dug.
Although in addition to Pixar Studios, he did not agree with the Disney animation production team and the live-action film license of classic cartoons, Harvey Weinstein thought about Ronan's past and felt that Disney might have lost a very important asset.
Relativity Entertainment lay on Disney's body and took a deep breath of blood. After sucking, it left a mess. According to his understanding, the three internal forces within Disney have almost become dog-headed.
Harvey Weinstein looked at Ronan and Jessica Felton sitting at the location of the crew of "Brokeback Mountain", and then he withdrew his gaze and gradually confirmed something that he must not mess with Ronan Anderson in the future.
The Michael Eisner who suppressed him and Bob Weinstein and had to leave Miramax, Roy Disney had not yet settled it, and in a blink of an eye, Ronan Anderson brought two super rich rivals.
Don't think of peace in Disneyland.
Ronan chatted with Ang Lee for a few words, and the award ceremony soon kicked off.
In recent years, Oscar ratings have gradually declined, especially in the year when art films that lack sufficient audience base are in power, the ratings have begun to fall out of the top three in North America.
The School of Film Arts and Sciences has been making efforts to increase the ratings of the Oscars as much as possible.
No matter what, this is the face and signature of Hollywood.
This year, the college invited Jon Stewart, a popular TV host in the United States, who is famous for the news program "Daily Show", and hopes that Stewart's influence can attract more young audiences for the Oscars.
The opening is a routine spoof nomination video.
For example, when the tent in Brokeback Mountain was opened, Billy Christo first revealed his head, "I won't host this year, I haven't seen me busy in love."
Behind him, Jon Stewart was clearly visible.
There are also hot events, and the biggest gossip in Hollywood last year naturally became the target of ridicule.
Jon Stewart kept teasing Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and the main shot also fell on Jennifer Aniston from time to time.
But Jennifer Aniston seemed to have not heard it, with disheveled hair, simple clothes and expressionless face.
Oscars sometimes seem very low-level, and the jokes are a bit too much.
Jon Stewart pointed to the big stars in the front row and said, "Look at those actresses, they are so poor that they can't cover their breasts."
The award ceremony began, and the best supporting actor with a heavier weight was once again awarded the first one. The director probably hoped to use heavyweight awards to bring the audience's emotions.
Brokeback Mountain lost to "Good Night, Good Luck", and Jack Gillenhill lost to George Clooney.
The latter won the first Oscar in his life, but this Best Supporting Actor Little Golden Man also means that George Clooney will never win the Best Director with "Good Night, Good Luck".
George Clooney also understood this, so his first sentence when he came on stage was - since I won the Best Supporting Actor, I will definitely miss the Best Director Xiao Jinren.
This sentence seems to be the best portrayal of this Academy Awards Ceremony. The subsequent awards and the tone of egalitarianism are extremely clear.
The best supporting actress was given to British actress Rachel Weisz, and the film was "The Immortal Gardener", which is also the only award that the film won.
Peter Jackson's masterpiece "King Kong" was considered to dominate the technology awards in advance, but he only won three awards: Best sound editing, Best sound effect and Best visual effect. "Legend of Narnia" and "Memoirs of Geisha" shared awards such as Best Makeup, Best Photography, Best Clothing and Best Art Directing.
Nearly halfway through the award ceremony, the biggest task of the crew of "Brokeback Mountain" was to watch the fun.
