Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

In fact, apart from "When Happiness Knocks", John Woo's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" is also a very good movie.As an out-and-out commercial film, this film has been applauded by the vast majority of film critics.If it weren't for the lack of artistry in the script of this movie, perhaps the academy would not hesitate to nominate this movie for several important awards, but unfortunately in the end "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" was only nominated for technical awards.

Of course, the films that are getting the most attention this year are obviously the likes of The Departed, The Queen, Pan's Labyrinth and Dreamgirls.But compared to previous years, this year is considered a small year for the Oscars, and there are almost no masterpieces in the nominated films, which is tantamount to giving the film "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" a chance.After all, as the world's most watched film awards ceremony, the best film is naturally given to those "masterpieces". Although "Happiness Comes Knocking" is a movie that has both box office and word of mouth, its subject matter determines that this movie can only be a "sketch".Similarly, when Spielberg also directed "The End of Happiness", which is said to have moved the entire United States, it was also because the scene was too small, no matter how high its ideological and artistic achievements were, in the end the Oscars did not even owe a nomination. Bong.So sometimes you can't win an award or be nominated, it's not that you are not good enough, it's just that you don't meet other people's tastes.

Just when Jed was thinking wildly, Oscar had already issued the first award.Australian beauty Nicole Kidman announced that "Pan's Labyrinth" won the best art director this year, which made the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" who was also nominated somewhat depressed.After a technical award, Oscar followed up with the Scientific and Technological Achievement Award and the Gordon Sawyer Award, which are Oscar's two recognitions for film technology.The Scientific and Technological Achievement Award rewards a certain achievement, while the Gordon Sawyer Award rewards film technology people.

This year's Science and Technology Achievement Award was taken away by the Dolby Atmos technology of Dolby Laboratories. came out ahead of time.What makes Jed depressed is that his own natural technology will not be available until the end of next year due to excellence, which gives Dolby Laboratories a chance.The next Gordon Sawyer Award was taken away by the Jed Sherman Film Technology Laboratory because of the promotion of imax technology.Almost the entire film industry is thanking imax technology, which allows more people to enter the cinema, and thus gives the film industry more fresh blood.

There was little excitement about the ensuing awards, except Jed applauded for Best Visual Effects for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.But when Ben Affleck was on stage to voice a short tribute to the writer, Jade went out of his way to give it a standing ovation.Although Jed's greatest achievement is directing and producing, Jed still considers himself a screenwriter.Although Jed does not hold any position in the Writers Guild, he has always been the Writers Guild's largest funder.

But the next best adapted screenplay obviously didn't take Jed's face into account, and this award was given to "Infernal Affairs".Because "Infernal Affairs", "The Golden Flower" and "The Children of Yingzhou" were shortlisted for three films related to Chinese films, the Asian Broadcasting Group specially bought this Oscars ceremony to be held in the Greater China region. broadcast rights.Now ATV Hong Kong, ATV Chinese and Asiashowel are using Cantonese, Mandarin and English to broadcast the awards ceremony live in Asia.So Jed thinks that winning the award for "Infernal Affairs" should effectively boost the ratings, right?Since I can't get the prize, it's the right thing to earn more money anyway.

But soon the awarding process came to Shirley Lansing to present the Humanitarian Award, and Shirley had already started to stand up backstage and wait for her appearance.In the parallel time and space, Shirley is actually a strong woman who can stand on her own, but in this world, she deliberately restrains her aura and becomes a strong support in the team.So Jed thinks this award is a compensation, and Shirley also values ​​her award very much, so she contacted Dior's design director John Galliano early on to customize two dresses for herself.One set of dresses was glamorous, allowing Shirley to steal a lot of style on the red carpet full of actresses; while the other was worn for herself to win an award.The award-winning dresses are naturally a lot more restrained, and they also follow a noble and elegant route.When Tom Cruise announced the winner of the Humanitarian Spirit Award, all members of the Sherman Entertainment Group stood up to pay tribute to the female executive who has devoted more than ten years to the group.

This year's Oscars ceremony was not as procrastinated as before, but the long time also made Jed a little unbearable.Since he and John had a pair of children, Jed has developed the habit of going home at eight o'clock and telling the two babies a bedtime story.It's a pity that the Oscars this time obviously won't give Jed time to go back to bedtime stories, so Jed becomes a little impatient.Fortunately, Allen's hosting was still moderate, and Jed's resentment did not directly turn into anger.But just when Jed was a little impatient, the Oscars finally reached their climax, and the best actor, best actress, best director and best picture will be announced soon.

The first award was the Oscar for Best Actress, and the guest in charge of presenting the awards was Philip Hoffman, the last Oscar winner.Don't look at this person's age, but he is indeed a typical late-blooming actor.Jed wanted to cooperate with him several times, but after he won the Best Actor, the ostentation became bigger and bigger, so Jed also gave up the idea of ​​cooperating with him.Although the media broke out several times that he had problems with alcohol and even drugs, he was still very personable at the awards ceremony.Meryl Streep, who was also nominated for this year's Oscar, also starred in Jed's "The Devil" but she bumped into Helen Miller, who was nominated for "The Queen". Because "The Devil's Fashion" is a commercial film, the judges didn't like it. If it wasn't for the high reputation of this film among feminists, it is estimated that the Oscar would not even be nominated.

So what if it's just nominated?It's really time to see the outcome when the awards are presented. Just now at the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, Emily, who played Emily, was squeezed out by Jennifer Hudson of "Dream Girl".When George Clooney announced the award, Jed almost called it a conspiracy.If Emily loses to Breslin in "Little Miss Sunshine" or Rinko Kikuchi in "Babel", Jed can tolerate it.But "Dream Girl" is a complete commercial film, and Jennifer's role has no depth and acting skills at all, but it is such a role that beats Emily, Jed is super upset.And the unhappiness continued to the actress. Meryl Streep was just running with her in the end. The British plot of the Oscar judges broke out again. Helen Miller was kneeled and licked by the judges because of her role in Queen Elizabeth II. And took away the actress.

Just when the corner of Jed's mouth was twitching, Reese Witherspoon, the actress of the last Oscar, stepped onto the stage and announced the nominations for this year's Oscar for Best Actor.Compared with Best Actress, Best Actor is much more dangerous.Will Smith has a nomination for "Happiness Knocks" and Leonardo DiCaprio in "Blood Diamond" and Forest Whitaker in "The Last Dictatorship" are two other contenders . Although "Blood Diamond" is an excellent movie, it is obviously not as deep as it is, so Jed thinks that Leonardo may be running with him this time.On the contrary, Frith's acting skills are remarkable, and the movie "The Last Dictatorship" is very popular, but it hasn't opened yet, so maybe the critics will give comfort to the actor.Jed still affirms Ruixi's acting skills. In the movie "Legal Blonde", she played the typical American blonde sweet girl with big breasts and no brains.

Ruixi didn't waste everyone's time, but just joked: "The winner is an actor I personally like very much. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with him. Let's congratulate Will Smith!"

When Ruixi announced the list of winners, Will was stunned.It is already a practice for the Oscars to discriminate against people of color. You can see that the Oscars will be almost 80 years old this year, but how many black Americans have won the best actor?Do you dare to say that black Americans can't act?Think of Morgan Freeman who ran with him for thousands of years!So when Will was announced that he won the Oscar winner, almost all the black actors present gave a standing ovation.Because they know how much this award means to them, not only blacks, but also actors of ethnic minorities such as yellow races gave a standing ovation.

Will came to the stage almost in a trance, and he sighed when the ice-cold statuette turned out: "I almost thought it was a dream! Yes, I would like to thank the entire crew of "When Happiness Knocks" Members, guys! We did a miracle! And I want to thank my family, if it weren't for my wife and children for their support, maybe I wouldn't have made such a great movie! Finally, I want to thank Jed Shea Mr. Herman. It was he who helped me get rid of the low-budget comedies, and now he helped me get the best actor, thank you!"

When Will stepped down, Jed saw three master directors, Spielberg, Lucas and Coppola, appear on stage.Jade smiled at Lansing beside him: "It seems that the best director should be Martin Scorsese."

Lansing also nodded in agreement, after all, among all the nominees, only Scorsese deserves the joint award from these three directors.It seems that Oscar also knew that he had offended Scasses too hard, so he not only gave him a trophy, but also specially arranged a very beautiful ceremony to confer the gods.

"It seems that I don't have to look forward to the best film. The best directors are all such a luxurious lineup. How can I have anything to do?" Jed smiled self-deprecatingly, got up and left the venue.

Jed's sudden departure caused commotion in the press box. After all, although Jed was not involved in the best director, he was still involved in the best picture.Does this sudden departure mean he has given up on Best Picture?Or does it represent his dissatisfaction with not being nominated for best director?Just when the reporters were excited, the three masters also announced that Scorsese had won this year's Oscar for Best Director.

Jed didn't care about anything anymore, and ignored the questioning of several paparazzi, he just returned to his car, and then sent a text message to Spielberg, "Hey, I've decided, I've decided to resign as the permanent director of the Directors Union At the same time, I will resign as a member of the directors' union selection committee. But please rest assured, I don't plan to quit the directors' union, after all, I still have a good movie to be released next year."
