Five Hundred and Seven-Pull to the Highest Level
Early the next morning, in addition to the authoritative media, major newspapers in North America also reported some results of the Golden Globe Awards as usual. There was no coverage of the Golden Globe Awards itself in other media. All the coverage was about the Golden Globe Awards. Doubts about the football award.
In fact, as soon as the awards season arrives, North American audiences have become accustomed to the media style at this time. A Golden Globe Award and an Oscar. Regardless of whether the most anticipated film wins the award in the end, the voice of dissatisfaction will become mainstream, and the media In fact, we hope that there will be a just result, so that we can provide them with the hotly hyped breaking news.
But this year the situation is obviously different. People can emotionally accept "The Departed"'s lack of acting awards, but it is difficult to emotionally accept Wayne's failure. This has almost become the theme of this year's awards season.
Even ordinary viewers know that Wayne can definitely be called a leading figure in Hollywood and even North American movies since the 1990s. He is like a brand, and the Golden Globe Awards organizing committee should never ignore his influence.
Many newspapers all tacitly used Jeff Robinov's sarcastic interview answer as this morning's news headlines.
The sentence "Does the North American TV and Movie Golden Globe Awards still have any authority?!" completely detonated relevant public opinion. This may be the biggest crisis of trust that the North American TV and Movie Golden Globe Awards has suffered since its birth, although the Golden Globe Awards have always been It was a cramp from time to time, but it had never caused such a big storm of public opinion.
Various news and reports continue to ferment. The only regret is that no reporter from the media has obtained Wayne's interview permission. Even the hundreds of reporters blocked at the entrance of Greenberg Manor are destined to be Returning empty-handed, what made them feel helpless was that the other party didn't go out at all today and had no intention of going to work at Warner Studio.
And a large number of reporters, seeing that they could not wait for the right person, once again turned their attention to friends related to Wayne. Faced with the blockage and interview requests from various reporters, many people chose to publish their own stories. Opinion.
When asked by reporters what he thought of the Warner Bros. CEO's statement that the Golden Globe Awards were not authoritative, Zack Snyder, who was far away in Australia, told reporters clearly over the phone:
"The North American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is the most authoritative organization, and the most authoritative organization for North American films has given the movie "The Departed" nine heavyweight award nominations! Now that Wayne has received their recognition , that’s enough to explain everything, isn’t it? As for the North American TV and Movie Golden Globe Awards, their convulsive behavior this year will make the audience regard this award ceremony as a joke!”
After Zack Snyder's brief phone interview recording was broadcast on ABC's morning show, more Hollywood insiders began to express their opinions one after another when being interviewed by enthusiastic reporters.
""The Departed" is definitely a great gangster movie. You can pick any of the Oscar nominations and compare it with the Golden Globe awards, and you will find that this year's Golden Globe Awards are, in the end, How ridiculous."
When Steven Spielberg faced more than a dozen media reporters at the gate of DreamWorks, he said without hesitation: "As for Wayne, I don't think he has to prove anything to the Golden Globe Awards. In the past few years, I have used great films to tell movie fans around the world countless times how great my directorial talent is!
To be honest, I really don't understand what the Foreign Correspondents Association is thinking. The entire film "The Departed" is almost equivalent to a teaching demonstration of film noir. It condenses all of Wayne's learning and talents over the years. I dare say that no one in Hollywood is more qualified to win the title of Best Director than him this year. "
"Yes, of course I am aware of Wayne's talent. In fact, as early as 1993, I had hoped to invite Wayne to direct a new "Star Wars". Unfortunately, although I invited him several times, he never Everyone has their own plan, otherwise, it is very likely that in the new "Star Wars", there will not be so many viewers worried about the story!"
George Lucas, who is busy with the preparatory work for the new "Star Wars", took the time to be interviewed by reporters. Obviously, when faced with reporters' questions, he not only praised Wayne without hesitation, but I am still trying to attract the topic to the new "Star Wars" movie intentionally or unintentionally.
"As for the experience of Wayne's "The Departed" at the Golden Globe Awards, I think he doesn't need to take it to heart at all. As the best director in Hollywood since the 1990s, whether his film is great or not does not need to be judged at all. An awards ceremony held by outsiders, with a bunch of outsiders coming to vote for approval, is an insult to Wayne's film!"
Looking at the surprised reporters, George Lucas frowned slightly and added without hesitation: "You can directly publish what I said. If the Golden Globe Organizing Committee has any objections, you can directly Go find my lawyer!"
It was only then that the dozens of reporters around him remembered the other person's other identity. He was the richest man in Hollywood. The huge wealth brought to him by Lucasfilm was his biggest support for power in the industry. The Golden Globe The reporters on the award organizing committee would not mess with this old guy who likes to defend his own people unless they smoke leaf cigarettes until their brains spin.
"You may not know that as early as the second half of 1991, Wayne sat in front of me and said, "Hey, Townsend, it's easy to take away the copyright of "Happy Death Day" for $30 million. Thirty million dollars, all of it belongs to 20th Century Fox! "Do you know how shocked I was at the time? Many Fox executives involved in the negotiations thought this kid who had just graduated must be crazy!" Townsend-Rossman spoke to " The editor-in-chief of "The Hollywood Reporter" narrated, while leisurely enjoying the fragrance brought by the cigar, while leaning on the large office chair and talking. "In the end, after many considerations and investigations, Fox agreed to his offer. As you can see, "Happy Death Day" brought Fox an incredible 30 million, right?
As for my views on this year's North American TV and Movie Golden Globe Awards, I actually don't have much to say. Although Wayne and Fox have broken off their cooperation in the past few years, the connection between us has not been broken. I know him. He has innate confidence, perseverance, determination, talent, and dedication to film art. In fact, what I want to say is, Wayne, screw the Golden Globe, you deserve better. Honor, and even better recognition! "
""The Departed" is like a realistic gangster film that is infinitely close to reality!" Downstairs of the Fox Building, a reporter from The Hollywood Reporter met James Cameron, who took the time to come to Fox to discuss the release time of The Departed. , when reporters asked him what he thought of Wayne and the film, he said with a serious face:
"Perfect violent aesthetics, rough and direct exposure of the bottom of society, and a true display of human nature. If you watch the film carefully, you will find that the small details of various films are handled very wonderfully! The editing of the film is very brilliant and fast. The panning and crossing montages are dizzying.
In terms of content, in addition to the tragedy and fate, the film also highlights the social problems caused by ethnic discrimination and class solidification. It uses a rough black film full of swear words to warn of many problems existing in North American society, especially the absurdity of the film. The ending of "The Movie" makes first-time viewers suddenly startled, but after reacting, they feel full of joy. I have to say that this is a great gangster movie. "
Obviously, the reporter was not that easy to dismiss. The female reporter asked: "Director Cameron, can you share your opinion on Wayne and "The Departed" being ignored by the Golden Globe Awards?"
"His success, whether it is his contribution to Hollywood movies or his own achievements, does not need to be recognized by the Golden Globe Awards. He deserves better! That's it. Sorry, I still have a lot of work. Be busy.”
After bidding farewell to the reporters in a hurry, the truck driver walked into the Fox Building. As for why he spoke so highly of Wayne, it wasn't actually how much he admired the young man, but because he refused to take over the ship as a favor.
In fact, James Cameron is prouder than anyone else. He is very confident that the big ship he has prepared after several years will break the opponent's box office record, whether it is North America or the world's total box office record!
The whole of Hollywood is in an uproar, and public opinion is directed at the ended North American TV and Movie Golden Globe Awards. However, what is disappointing is that even though quite a few heavyweights in the industry have expressed their opinions, some of them were even made public by Chi Luoluo. Questioning the Foreign Correspondents Association, the Golden Globe Awards organizing committee has also remained silent, and has not stood up to express opinions or explain as people expected.
Unexpectedly, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the African-American spokesperson for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, also issued an official statement at a regular press conference before the Oscars: " The Academy will continue to pay attention to whether "The Departed" and director Wayne Greenberg have been treated unfairly!
As for the nine nominations for Wayne and "The Departed" that you have been concerned about, I think this is not too much for his outstanding directorial talent. The college has strict voting, impartiality, and auditing mechanisms, and it can fully accept the supervision of all media in this regard.
Yes, his directorial skills have improved at an unusually fast rate, so fast that many of the older generations in the industry have not even reacted. This young man has surpassed most directors. The academy has been working hard to implement youth reforms, Wayne -Greenberg's repeated nominations in the past few years have proven the Academy's determination to reform. As the most authoritative award in Hollywood, the Academy Awards will not ignore anyone's efforts! "
Officials suddenly came out to speak, which completely pushed this year's awards season into the spotlight. Countless insiders and audiences are looking forward to the awards ceremony in late March. Everyone wants to know whether the academy will Because Wayne broke the old rules and gave recognition to this extremely young director.
After a long period of deliberation, the media seemed to have prepared sufficient ammunition. In the past few days before the Oscars were officially held, a large number of news commentary articles and various prediction programs began to appear on the market. The Academy also used Riding on the wave of public opinion, expectations for this year's Academy Awards have been raised to the highest level!
