One Thousand Seven Hundred and One in Pursuit

Damien's nervousness and embarrassment can't be dismantled by Renly Jane in just a few words, as if Renly couldn't understand how much ups and downs Damien went through in order to raise funds for the film "Boom Drummer", and Damien I don't know how much polishing Renly has gone through to interpret the realism of "Boom Drummer".

The importance of "The Popping Drummer" to Damien, the importance of Sundance to Damien, is all the hope of a young director at the beginning of his career.

Renly also understood this. He didn't expect his own words to turn corruption into magic. Instead, he took the initiative to take over the heavy responsibility of promoting the movie. Amidst the hustle and bustle of questions from reporters, he firmly paid attention to everything. All the power was concentrated on the "popping drummer".

"It is rumored that you and Damien met by accident on Oscar night?"

"Yes, I needed a little fresh air and a little food to refuel, we met at the restaurant opposite the Sunset Tower Hotel. Damien showed me a short clip of 'The Popping Drummer' and I decided to be a producer on it .It's that simple."

"So what moved you? After all, with your ability and level, you should be able to choose scripts at will in the entire Hollywood now, and Damien is just a new director who has shot a work."

"If I say, I believe this work can be successful, do you believe it? Ha. Obviously because I see the potential of this character, I still want to challenge some different roles."

"From 'Drunken Country Ballad' to 'The Popping Drummer', two consecutive works have appeared in music themes. Does this mean that your new album is about to be released? Before the concert of 'The Popping Drummer', you also gave A definite answer, right?"

"Ha, I was caught. Yes, I am indeed preparing new albums one after another, but as you can see, acting is still my job. I just finished a Christopher work, and then There is another dubbing work, and I will start preparing it after the related work is over.”

"Then shooting two music-themed works in a row, what's the difference?"

"Oh, these are two very, very different works. Strictly speaking, I wouldn't make both works the subject of music. What they have in common is that the male lead's life is related to music, and that's it." Drunk Town Folk Ballad ' tells a story of perseverance, and 'Crackling Drummer' tells a story of breakthrough, and in a way, they show two different sides of art and life."

"Next, are you still willing to shoot music-themed works? Even song and dance movies?"

"If you come across a good script,

Of course, why not? Song and dance movies are obviously a genre that I haven't been exposed to so far. This should be a very interesting challenge; but for now, I have no idea. Next, I still hope to try some characters of different genres and styles. "

You come and go, ask and answer.

The rhythm between Renly and the reporter was very fast. There was almost no breathing space between one question and the next. Damien, who was standing on the side, couldn't keep up with the speed at all. Just listening in seemed a little too informative. , The content that sounds ordinary and ordinary, but becomes humorous and humorous in Renly's processing and retelling, which keeps the atmosphere of the audience happy.

Damien turned to look at Renly, a glimmer of admiration in his eyes.

"Renly, may I ask you about the two works 'Gravity' and 'Drunk Town Ballad', which one do you personally prefer? Is it a pity that one work beat the other to be in the top five Oscar nominations?"

Endured and endured, the problem finally did not hold back.

Renly didn't get angry either, but chuckled lightly, "Your endurance skills are really good today." A joke made the reporters chuckle, "I'm not going to answer this question. If you're curious, I It has been answered in the forum, you can replay it."

"You said at the symposium that this was a trap, and you refused to answer." Immediately, some reporters complained unwillingly.

Ren Li spread his hands, "Look, the standard answer has already been given." The upright appearance did not show the slightest panic or embarrassment, and continued his attitude.

"Which one do you think has a better performance?"

Now that the topic has been brought up, it is absolutely impossible to give up easily in a hurry. reason? This is the hottest topic after the Oscar nomination list came out.

Go back in time to the 2006 awards season, which was a special year for Leonardo DiCaprio.

First, in 2004, he dedicated the wonderful work "The Aviator". It was the number one favorite throughout the awards season. However, he lost to Jamie Foxx, who went against the sky at the Oscars. Soul Singer" and "Murder by Knife" won Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor nominations, and finally reached the top actor, which made many people feel sorry for Leonardo at that time.

Later, in 2006, he starred in two works, "The Departed" and "Blood Diamond", both of which gave acclaimed performances. In the first half of the awards season, it can be said that no one can beat him, and the strong limelight is firmly locked. After winning the top seed in the Best Actor competition, the years of credit in Hollywood and the guilt of repeatedly missing awards have allowed Leonardo to quietly occupy an invincible position.

But the vote-sharing crisis cannot be ignored.

"The Departed" took the lead in the awards season because of Martin Scorsese's hard work. Although this is not the best work of Martin, there is really no blockbuster work that can compete with it, which makes the work itself. Power is far ahead, and Warner Bros., which produces and distributes, puts most of its PR power over best picture and best director.

The overall quality of the works of "Blood Diamond" falls in the second group - even the third group. Technical awards such as film editing and sound effects are quite competitive, but more weight is still concentrated on the two actors, the male lead With Leonardo DiCaprio and supporting actor Djimon-Hounson, the distribution company could spend more on acting awards.

Here's the problem, the publisher of "Blood Diamond" is also Warner Bros.

In other words, Warner Bros. has limited PR power, and they have to make trade-offs.

Objectively speaking, Leonardo's performance in "The Departed" was better and more brilliant than "Blood Diamond", and left a deeper impression on the audience; at the same time, the overall quality of "The Departed" was slightly lower. Being one step ahead also means that the college PR in the later sprint stage can have more advantages.

Many people in the industry believe that if Warner Bros. simply gave up "Blood Diamond" and promoted "The Departed", Leonardo might have won the Oscar in 2006; but the reality is more complicated.

"The Departed" is star-studded, with two leading actors, Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon; and two supporting actors, Jack Nicholson and Mark Walkerberg .

All four actors can make it to acting awards, but everyone knows that it is almost impossible for all four to win nominations; especially in the lead role. In the history of the Oscars, in the supporting role department, there are quite a few cases where a work occupies two nomination seats, but the double nomination in the protagonist department is very difficult.

"Comet Beauty" in 1950 won a total of fourteen nominations, tied with "Titanic" for the top spot in the number of Oscar nominations, and the technical awards department was far from being as comprehensive as it was in 1997. The reason why "Comet Beauty" The ability to create such a record comes from the full explosion of the acting department:

Two Best Actress nominations, two Best Supporting Actress nominations, and one Best Supporting Actor nomination. A full five acting nominations have become a unique landscape in the long history. But... such a miracle is now almost impossible to replicate.

Warner Bros. clearly knows this.

The first to fall behind is Matt Damon, who has a mediocre reputation in the industry, and then on top of the Golden Globe Awards, Leonardo doubled for best actor in a drama with two works, while Jack Nicholson and Mark Walkerbo Ge Ze was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, which immediately made Warner Bros. even more difficult.

After some internal balance of interests, they decided... not to give up either. Because the entanglement of interests among them is really too complicated, there is no way to give up any of them.

Jack Nicholson hopes for his 13th Oscar nomination - breaking his own record, Mark Walkerberg hopes for his first Oscar nomination - fellow Boston Gang's Matt Damon Stands for Mark; 'Blood Diamond' director Edard-Zick hopes to win his first best director nomination - despite already being a producer with 'Shakespeare in Love' and 'Drug Network' "Nominated twice; needless to say, Leonardo wants to win his first statuette.

As a result, Warner Bros. followed suit. Later, because Leonardo had an obvious lead, Warner Bros.’s public relations relaxed a little bit, and focused more on Mark, who was relatively weak, but ended up making a mess.

"The Departed" only took one nomination for Best Supporting Actor, belonging to the least competitive Mark Walkerberg, which almost ruined Martin Scorsese's best director and best picture battles; "Blood Diamond" was nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, but lost the Best Director nomination.

This was a disaster for Leonardo. "Blood Diamond" fell behind from strength to reputation to industry recognition, almost announcing the bad news that he missed the best actor in advance. The ending was indeed the same. Forest Whitaker, another black man after Jamie Foxx, came to the top with the "last dictatorship/dictatorship", and successfully reached the top for the first nomination.

Now, the same thing happened to Renly.

The industry generally believes that the performance of "Drunken Country Ballad" is better and better, but in the end, "Gravity" won the Oscar nomination - of course, the strength of "Gravity" work exceeds "Drunk Country Ballad", which is A good thing, but... who knew Renly wouldn't follow Leonardo's footsteps?
