Eight Hundred and Five

Three years ago, in the battle for the best actress, Julie Christie won her fourth Oscar nomination for her excellent performance in "The Willows and Flowers"; The voice is high, and the victory is very big.

But at the awards ceremony, Marion Cotillard successfully broke out with her wonderful interpretation of the golden age classic singer Edith-Piaf in "Life of the Rose". Shockingly unpopular, with the posture of a peerless dark horse, he won the golden statuette after the movie.

Marion was unknown in Hollywood at that time, almost no one had heard of her existence, she was completely unknown; and "Rose Life" was still a French work——

The only actors who have successfully won awards for their foreign language works in history are only Sophia-Loren of "Tears of a Mother and Daughter" and Roberto-Benigni of "Beautiful Life".

However, Marion is a well-recognized actress in France. She has received a lot of attention when she was a newcomer. "Rose Life" has received a lot of popularity in Europe, carrying the Caesar Award, the European Film Award and the British Academy of Film and Arts Award. The power of the Jedi finally achieved the great reversal of the Jedi.

The scene from that year is so familiar, now, Jean-Dujardin seems to be following Marion's footsteps step by step, gradually reaching the peak of his career!

In the process, Renly was just a stepping stone.

Roy twitched the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "Should we be happy or angry? At least, this shows that they regard Renly as their biggest competitor, not Brad Pitt and Gary Oldman."

"That's the truth." In the face of Roy's half-joking suspicion, Andy gave a positive answer in an understatement, "After 'Crazy Love' won an award at Sundance last year, Focus Pictures began to operate Well, they're now calling it: the best love movie since 'When Harry Met Sally' and the best show since 'The Bridge'."

Focus Pictures, there are only two awards season distributors in the industry that can compete with Weinstein Pictures, and the other is Fox Searchlight. By the way, the publisher of this year's awards season hit "Descendants" is Fox Searchlight.

This year's best actor competition should be "Focus Pictures VS Fox Searchlight VS Weinstein Pictures".

Just in terms of absolute strength, Focus Pictures was ahead in the early stage. Besides "Love Crazy", "Tinkers, Tailors, Soldiers, Spies" were also distributed by them. Among the top five movie stars, they occupied two spots. A seat, of which Gary Oldman was a finalist for the final reversal at the last minute, which is even more valuable.

And Fox Searchlight is leading the way, George Clooney has become their absolute ace this year. For this, they dropped the "shameful" Michael Fassbender. In addition, the "Tree of Life" is also their biggest dark horse, becoming the biggest highlight of the nomination stage.

However, Weinstein Pictures began to turn the tide after the nomination was released. They decisively gave up "My Week with Monroe" and began to push Meryl Streep to the top again with "Iron Lady". Oscar-winning actress; in addition, all resources are concentrated on the "artist", and the momentum gradually begins to stand out.

"The reason why the Weinstein brothers are so fierce is actually forcing Focus Pictures to give up Renly. However, I will not let them succeed." Andy concluded in one sentence.

The public relations resources of each distribution company are limited. After the nomination list is released, they are bound to make a choice, otherwise it will just be nothing.

Focus Pictures has a total of two works shortlisted for the final stage of the competition this year, "Crazy Love" and "Tinker,

Tailor, Soldier, Spy". The former received only one Best Actor nomination, while the latter was nominated for Best Picture. For Focus, how to allocate PR resources is an important question.

This is also the top priority of Andy's work now.

Before Roy's call, Andy had been thinking about solutions. Now, with a small change, an inspiration suddenly emerged in Andy's mind, and his thoughts began to become clear, "Just in time, Renly will stay in Berlin with this opportunity, and we will retreat and prepare for both hands."

"On the one hand, Renly attended the exchange meeting and some media promotion occasions to further lay our foundation in Europe. Dieter Koslick seems to be quite optimistic about Renly. We can try to see it." Andy concisely and quickly Said, "On the other hand, Focus Pictures and I will further negotiate and negotiate. There are still three weeks before the Oscars, and everything is possible."

"If Renly stays in Berlin, he will definitely miss some scheduled public relations events. Are you sure it's okay? Can you handle it?" This was Roy's concern at first, but now he heard the turmoil in Los Angeles, and he became more and more concerned. multiplied.

"Are you worried about me?" Andy's answer made Roy's eyes twitch slightly, and he complained mercilessly, "It's impossible even in your dreams."

A joke is enough. Andy did not continue the topic, and continued, "Renly's absence from those public relations occasions is bound to have a negative impact, but considering all aspects, the damage value is less than his presence. After all, Renly has been absent for most of the time. It's awards season."

"If it is not confirmed for a day, rumors can only be rumors, and guesses can only be guesses. People will continue to wait and see and will not make judgments easily." During the phone call, Andy's brain never stopped working. , in the shortest time, made the best choice. Now they are facing a crisis, but behind the crisis is an opportunity. "I needed more time. Renly stayed in Berlin, and now it seems that it is a better choice. After hanging up, I immediately rushed to Focus Pictures."

"Okay." Roy didn't continue to argue, but continued to ask, "I'm working here, do you have any suggestions? Or, the precautions?"

It was originally just a temporary decision, but now it has become an opportunity to reverse the disadvantage. Roy also had to cheer up.

Agents and managers are in a competitive relationship, they are not partners; but they have a common goal, and the interests of the artist are the first priority they need to consider. So, if necessary, they can join forces.

"Yes, can you ask for a list of the personnel for the exchange meeting? Fax it right away." Andy was also polite, and began to assign tasks resolutely, "I will take a look at it, and then I will email you if there is any situation. ."

The point is not the mission, but just learning about it. In such a short period of time, Andy has drawn up the charter, "Also, I will ask the assistant to call you later and give you a list of media, You book a new round of interviews, not about 'Transcendence', but about 'Les Miserables' auditions."

As a top agent, Andy's thoughts are turning very fast, and a big net has quickly begun to spread, "the movie version and the stage version. It is emphasized that Renly has always wanted to return to the stage to polish himself, and the rest, Just leave it to Renly. Also, I'll contact reporters to interview the film crew and the stage crew."

In the face of the Weinstein brothers' slander and slander, the long-term impact on Renly's career is actually very limited, because time will tell everything; but here's the problem, they don't have time, they are now competing for the Oscar, three. The Oscars will be unveiled after a week, and after the awards ceremony is over, the Weinstein brothers won, so they won't care if the "dirty water" is washed.

At this moment, "Les Miserables" is extremely important; to be more precise, it is Renly's desire to return to the stage, re-honor his basic skills, and re-exercise his determination, which is extremely precious. From start to finish, Renly was a dedicated performer, as it was, as it is now, and will be so in the future.

Andy couldn't help but be thankful that he didn't reject Renly's insistence or reject Renly's request at the beginning. On the contrary, he actively found an audition opportunity for "Les Miserables". Without all of this, I'm afraid that their current situation will be even worse, and they really can't tell with their mouths.

But now, the Weinstein brothers' cards have been revealed, but they don't know that Andy still holds the killer in his hand.

In a few words, Roy can also roughly outline the outline of Andy's plan, but that is the job of the agent, he immediately retracted his thoughts and focused all his attention on Renly - Berlin, this is him The focus at this stage is also critical to turning the tide in Los Angeles.

"Okay, I see." Roy nodded affirmatively, paused for a moment, and asked again, "Do you need to tell Renly about Los Angeles?"

"Let's talk. Renly isn't the type to be in a mess. Knowing this, maybe he can give more opinions." Andy thought for a while, but chose to trust Renly. This trust is not something that both parties are trying to win, but that it is naturally cultivated in the process of getting along with each other.

"To be honest, I don't think Renly would care too much about these gossips." Andy put his right hand on his chubby belly, and his expression gradually became calm and calm, "It was like this when 'I was fighting cancer'. , and now."

"Fear and fear, that's part of our job." Roy's words, but he didn't know if he was expressing a mentality of sympathy or complaining about Renly.

Neither of them said goodbye to each other. After speaking, Shuangshuang hung up the phone. Roy looked up and saw Nathan standing beside him with a nervous expression.

Nathan didn't hear the entire conversation, only captured the last few words, and his expression suddenly became tense, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Roy didn't answer, but looked behind Nathan, "Didn't you say, go to the movies with Renly?"

"Renly chose a documentary, and I wasn't interested, so I came back." Nathan spread his hands, telling the truth. ) Download Free Reader!!
