MTL - Movie Master-Chapter 1007 Soldier's risky move
As the hostess, Julia quickly bid farewell to Dorothy and turned to greet the other guests, but Dorothy did not stop. She searched the crowd for a while, and then walked to the place where she and Danny Boyle had just met. Nancy Josephson ends the conversation.
Nancy is the co-president of International Innovation Management Company. She is the first woman in the entire Hollywood agency industry to climb to the top of the pyramid. Her greatest achievement is to create "Friends" and sell it to NBC TV station. Julia is an artist under the International Innovation Management Company. She returned to Hollywood in 1995 and was struggling. It was with Nancy's full support that she found an opportunity and made a comeback.
More than a month ago, Nancy left the International Innovation Management Company, and then joined the Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company, which is also among the top five brokerage companies. However, Nancy and Julia's personal friendship is still there, and today's attendance is not surprising.
"You seem a little low-key tonight." Nancy spoke first with a smile, welcoming Dorothy's arrival. Although the two are not friends, they are more or less sympathetic to each other as they are both women.
Dorothy shook Nancy's right hand politely, "It's not something I can choose, is it?" Tonight is a party in name, but in fact it's the school's public relations. Everyone knows it well, so the two of them came together The nature of the discussion is also the focus.
Nancy nodded her chin knowingly. She is no stranger to the current situation of "Fury Road", "But Lance is not a guy who gives up easily." After finishing speaking, she shook her head again, denying her statement , "To be precise, Lance is a guy who refuses to compromise."
Dorothy laughed lightly, "I'll pass on this compliment to Lance." After laughing, Dorothy let out a soft breath, "But this time, the situation can't be left to Lance, he touched The fundamental interests of those men, I don't think they would be happy to check Lance's name on the ballot sheet. What do you think?"
Like Julia, Nancy was able to climb to the top of the pyramid in the brokerage field. She had a clear understanding of the rules of the industry, and she was under greater pressure than ordinary people. Rumor has it that Nancy's departure from ICM was due to a disagreement with several other male senior cooperating agents.
Nancy immediately understood Dorothy's subtext, but she was not as easy to persuade as Julia. As the president of a top brokerage company, she had a fox-like sense of the flow of interests and power, and reason always preceded emotion. Make a judgment call, "So, what are you going to do?"
Faced with Nancy's vigilance and defense, Dorothy did not panic, but chuckled lightly, "I was chatting with Julia just now, and she thinks strong women are very willing to vote for Lance, and she thinks we should I have an optimistic and positive attitude, but I deny Julia's view. Because we all know that this is a profitable industry, and you can't achieve great things just by relying on enthusiasm, right?"
The aggressive method, Dorothy’s words were understated, but the sarcasm between the lines was extremely sharp, and the arrow went straight to Nancy—Nancy’s vigilance and defense just now undoubtedly showed her attitude, she will not be fooled easily, Dorothy thought In order for her to convince her artists to vote for Lance, there must be enough exchange of interests.
But Nancy is also very human, so naturally she won't be easily fooled, "Hehe, so what are your plans?" She still refused to express her position. The game of college public relations cannot be played just by relying on a solid tongue and the so-called moral high ground. Otherwise, "Brokeback Mountain" and "Hard Candy" would not have both lost to "Crash" last year. .
Dorothy still didn't panic and shook her head, "I don't have any plans. As I said just now, even women are unwilling to vote for Lance, so what can we expect?" Those men whose interests were offended Even more unwilling, "So, this is not something I can choose." Dorothy turned her head to look at the crowd, "I had some objections about Lance's absence tonight, but now it seems that he is indeed smarter than me. "
One sentence had a lot of meaning, and Nancy began to chew it carefully.
In fact, Dorothy was not lying. The academy PR of "Fury Road" is indeed full of difficulties. If you choose to make a positive breakthrough, I'm afraid it will trigger another controversy like Xia Tian. This is very detrimental to the film's impact on the statuette trophy, even if you stand on the moral high ground , It is also difficult to win more advantages. Last year's "Brokeback Mountain" is the best evidence.
It was Lance who proposed the slanted public relations method. "Fury Road" faced greater resistance than "Brokeback Mountain", but similarly, the political correctness occupied by "Fury Road" was also more clear-compared to homosexuality. In terms of rights and interests, eliminating gender discrimination and respecting cultural diversity have gone through a long period of development and improvement. Therefore, they can retreat to advance, show the enemy's weakness, put on a weak posture, and call on more people to realize that the disadvantage of "Fury Road" reflects the deep-rooted prejudice in contemporary society. Only more people stand up and express Only with support can the society truly realize that the rights and interests of minorities and disadvantaged groups also need to be taken seriously.
Whether it is Julia or Nancy, including Meryl, women who have a pivotal position in Hollywood like them play a vital role in the Oscar prospect of "Fury Road", but in the final analysis, it is important for the rise of women's rights and Change has an irreplaceable role.
Dorothy made it clear to win the sympathy and support of these women, whether it was for the interests of "Fury Road", the interests of women, or the future interests of these working women, they had no reason to refuse. Of course, this is only a theoretical possibility, and it depends on the effect of implementation and promotion, but this unique public relations strategy has won a sliver of possibility for "Fury Road".
Dorothy's attendance today is just a spearhead, and the actresses of "Fury Road" will also attack one after another.
But this is just the beginning, relying solely on female power to overthrow the deep-rooted rule of the old scholars? This is impossible, and if possible, Lance doesn't need to take the lead.
The hood of "Fury Road" lies in the fact that there are too many controversies. Even ten years later, such a work will have caused countless controversies, let alone now? Furthermore, Lance had been instigating these controversies behind the scenes for the film's box office, allowing the controversies to develop out of control. In the end, the box office did create a miracle, but the academy's public relations became a problem. This is one of the big reasons why Lance doesn't have much hope for this year's awards season.
However, now that they are preparing to attack the academy's public relations, Lance intends to turn this backstop into their advantage.
Cole Grinder looked at John-Goodman in front of him and shook his head repeatedly, "...I don't think so, on the contrary, I don't think any woman would be willing to vote for Lance. You know, wearing tulle Walking in the desert? Reduced to being a mother/breed/**** with a model instead of an actor? Phew, even I thought that was a bit of a stretch. In fact, after watching the movie, I asked Lance what his first The question is: have you lost love recently?"
John was amused by Cole's vivid words, and said in a deep voice, "Lance is really challenging the public's bottom line by daring to integrate women as a sex/symbol into the story setting so boldly."
Although he has never won an Oscar nomination, John Goodman, who has been in Hollywood for 20 years, has always been hailed as the most popular actor among the American people. He has occupied a place in Hollywood and has strong contacts in the six major Hollywood film companies. Someone once joked that as long as he nods, more than half of the producers in Hollywood are willing to give John a role in their works.
"So, what's Lance's plan? Is he going to give up the awards season?" John had a simple smile on his face, and a blurred halo flashed through his eyes that almost disappeared into his sockets, "This year's 'Fury Road' The momentum is very good, I just heard from my agent the day before yesterday that the North American record of 'Titanic' was broken? James Cameron would not like to see such a result."
Cole shrugged, "Actually, Lance talked to the Coen Brothers and Spielberg, hoping to get their support, but you also know that the Academy has always been biased against Lance~www.novelbuddy.com~Before There was also a small misunderstanding." A small misunderstanding, if last year's turbulence can be called "small", then Oscar has not seen any big storms in so many years, and John laughed out loud , "It is almost impossible for those old men to put aside their opinions and vote for Lance. So..." Cole spread his hands and looked around, "Lance refuses to attend tonight banquet."
Tonight is the warm-up party for the Golden Globe Awards. The awards ceremony will be held soon. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association held a grand party, which is a bit similar to the Oscar nomination luncheon, but with a wider scope. Many industry veterans will also be present.
"That's not Lance's style." Give up or avoid because of the slightest difficulty? John questioned.
Cole shook his right hand holding the champagne, "This is a typical Lance style." Cole lowered his voice and said quietly, "He doesn't think he has to please the people in the association, you know, he A man too proud to bow his head." Association, referring to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
"Oh, what a pity." John sighed softly. It seems that Lance will not be seen again at this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony. John thought about it seriously, and he had to admit that even if Lance attended the awards ceremony, it is estimated that the Golden Globe Awards would not be awarded to Lance, not only because of the past grievances between the two parties, but also because the association focuses on the academy Wind direction—Judging from the current news, there is still not much support for "Fury Road" within the academy, which reminds John of Cole's words just now.
Raising his head, John looked at Cole, and Cole's eyes showed a hint of understanding, then he raised the champagne glass and saluted, as if to say: Now you understand what I mean.
