MTL - Best Actor-v3 Chapter 206 why not make it bigger
The 81st Oscars are over, "Slumdog Millionaire" has become the biggest winner, taking away 8 awards including best film and best director Optimistic, with 13 nominations, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" has only won two.
In fact, a lot of people know that if it weren't for Sean Tang, the film might end up with a consolation award for best makeup, God knows the film school Why not like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
However, Sean's best actor still let many people's glasses fall to the ground, they have the same idea as him, the actor in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is really good, get a nomination No problem, but winning is not overwhelming. Not to mention, Mickey Rourke in "The Wrestler", if he is shortlisted, even if he does not have the possibility of winning, but the same tragic role will definitely pose a threat to Sean.
Unfortunately, who made them owe Sean a trophy before? And there was a lot of noise, plus Sean's previous nominations, which are almost the nominations of many actors for a lifetime. If the film academy can't make some remedial actions, it will be very disappointing.
Only, everyone thought that even if the film school wanted to compensate, it would wait a few more years, and Sean was still younger. Although the academy was advocating younger people a few years ago, in fact, it has only recruited actors in their teens as members. What effect can this play?
But what I didn't expect is that they actually created the youngest best actor, which is not surprising.
Best actor is not as open as best actress, the youngest best actress was awarded in early 1987, only 21-year-old Mary Matlin, although this After that, Oscar strictly controlled the age of award-winning actors. In 20 years, at least 25 years old will have a chance to win the trophy.
However, the best actor has never been before the age of 30, even if Adrien Brody pushed the limit to 29 with "The Pianist" in 2003, but only 30 in a few days. Therefore, it is very difficult to push the limit forward in this award, even if it is only a little bit. Unexpectedly, after only 6 years, some people have pushed the limit forward for at least one year!
So even though there are many people who are dissatisfied with the film school's preference for "Slumdog Millionaire", they have given a lot of praise on this issue, thinking that the academy has really started to change.
Of course, there are also guys who are not only dissatisfied with the award of "Slumdog Millionaire", but also don't like Sean. But they are the minority among the minority. It is not as good as those who mock the film academy for not even covering up and making compensation so conspicuous, so don't worry too much.
So, Sean must have been appearing in the headlines of major media during this period of time. After all, he is the youngest Oscar winner, and it may be difficult for anyone to break through this limit in the future.
"I can only say, I will work harder, this is pressure and motivation." Sean said on the talk show.
Compensation can only get the golden statuette, and it's more serious and dirty. This is the charity of the film academy.
"I see, this is a charity from the academy." Sean raised the laptop in his hand and showed it to the people in front of him with a smile.
"Do you really care, Sean?" Sanders came over and took a look at the computer.
"Of course, that's why I called you guys together to discuss countermeasures." Sean shrugged and looked at the others in the room, Frederick, Vladimir, and Weinstein .
You know, it is far more difficult to win the Oscars, especially at his age, than to be the youngest best actor.
That's right, I said on Oscar night that if you want to dream bigger, it means winning the Oscars. It's a whimsical idea, but it's also very attractive. Sean has done miracles several times since he entered the industry, and luck always seems to be on his side. Let's not talk about the previous things. Now, under the circumstances that no one expected, he has become the youngest Oscar winner. Even if there is indeed a strength factor, this luck is already heavenly.
What's more, the movie "The Artist" was originally aimed at the Oscars. Sean said it was a love letter at the beginning, and he also thought of many ways to get his appetite for the film school. The nostalgia card is played in the movie, and it will definitely scratch the itch of the academy after it is released. If you give up now, will you do so much before in vain?
There is really no way.
Those people wouldn't be called stinky pie anymore.
As I said before, the film school as a whole is relatively conservative, especially in the best actor, otherwise it will not be so difficult to improve the young record of this award.
Under the pressure of all parties, the Academy has given Sean a golden statue, and let him become the youngest best actor in Oscar history as he wishes - if "The Artist" ends this year When it is released, if he wins the best actor at the Oscars next year, Sean will still be the youngest best actor, but only a few months younger than Brody at that time.
In any case, he has got what he wanted, but now he is still planning, which is a bit greedy and insufficient.
However, there are always many times in life when you want to fight, right? If you miss it, you will inevitably feel reconciled when you look back on it in the years to come. Moreover, it's impossible to say that Sean doesn't care that this is just compensation from the film school, and that he doesn't care that he wants to win the award in a dignified manner.
Besides, since you have done it, you must do your best. This is one of Sean's life tenets, so since the good conditions are in front of you, why not try it again?
More importantly, he is not without his strength, let alone the love letter of "The Artist", with Weinstein as the producer, don't worry about those guys in the film school manner.
And then, Sean still has a network of contacts, plus his net worth is more than most people, if you really think about it, he is probably the richest in the Hollywood actor and director circle. . Moreover, by virtue of YouTube and several major media groups, the relationship is quite good, and even Google is now pulling its face and wants to become a shareholder again. If it launches all-out public relations, it might be impossible for the academy to make the same choice.
, who said there would be no way? So they are all here now.
"From now on PR, especially the core members of the Film Academy, we must continue to influence until the end of the year." After a few words of discussion, Vladimir said.
"And not to let them notice, at least on the surface," Frederick added.
Although the Film Academy has more than 5,000 members... oh, it's more than 6,000 now, so does Sean himself, and every time he votes for his own work. But the ones who really work, or really have influence, and can influence the final result, are only the core 1,000 people.
After all, not everyone has time to watch the participating films, and not everyone will take the selection seriously, and there are many people who take out the ballots as a favor, so in the end it is the old men who speak There is weight, if you can get them, at least half the matter.
"No problem," Sean agreed immediately, "I'll give you as much support as possible. As for lobbying funds...not capped."
More money for the Airbus A380?
"In addition to that, we have to pay attention to those films that have potential." Weinstein said at this time.
"You mean..." Sean raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah, pay attention to movies that may be a threat to you and prevent them from releasing at the end of the year." The fat man shrugged, "Just like you did with The Wrestler. ."
Sean immediately looked at Sanders, who spread his hand: "I just said a little, you know, Harvey's reaction is more sensitive than anyone else, he is an old fox."
"Can I take that as a compliment?" Weinstein laughed.
"Of course." Sean rolled his eyes, but was secretly relieved.
Director Darren Aronofsky.
"Get him out of Hollywood, by whatever means." Sean told Sanders at the time.
Precious Fountain starring Hugh Jackman.
So, the reason why Sean did this was actually to prepare for a rainy day. To be precise, the "Black Swan" that may appear in the future was smothered in the infancy. Since it was said that Natalie would be at least within a few years You can't turn over at all, so you must do it.
