Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 336: Hollywood’s ‘Necromancer’ appears (please vote for me!)

Tom Sherak.

Since taking over the position of president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences from his predecessor, Sidney Gannis, in 2009, he has not spent a day in peace.

Because as soon as he took office, he faced a series of quite difficult problems.

Sid Gannis' drastic overhaul of the Oscars.

Compared to his predecessor, he may have been born to wipe his ass.

After his predecessor withdrew honorary awards including the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Joan Hersholt Award, and the Irving Thalberg Memorial Award from the Oscar ceremony, the media itself began to question the Oscars.

Especially the Joan Hersholt Award.

So for this reason, he specially held an awards ceremony for 500 people to solve this problem.

The second thing that requires him to wipe his butt is to expand the list of Best Picture nominees from 5 to 10. This is relatively simple, after all, it is just water injection.

Even with the changes in the Best Film Song Award, it is not too difficult for him to promote the selection principle of "better to lack than to overwhelm" after having been in the industry for more than 40 years.

What really bothered him was the construction project for the college's new museum.

To restart this project that was shelved due to the financial crisis, the construction budget alone will require raising US$4 million.

4 million US dollars is not a small amount for Oscar.

Because the Oscars are non-profit.

He really couldn't understand why the executive director didn't pay attention to what shouldn't be a problem when the nomination list was announced.

Moreover, when the other party reacts strongly, you have to defend yourself.

Well now, the fashion industry is taking this opportunity to attack, and it will definitely be more difficult to raise funds.

Originally, he planned to take advantage of the Oscars ceremony to gain some sponsorship from these Oscar-resident luxury brands.

In the face of Tom Sherak's intervention to quell the matter, the three newly elected vice presidents also expressed their support in front of reporters. These three vice presidents are producer Kathleen Kennedy and screenwriter Phil Robinson. and an actor.

Tom Hanks.

"I will communicate with Anna Wintour for the rest."

Seeing Tom Sherak who was tired of dealing with this matter, Catherine chose to stand up.

If among the people present, Anna Wintour and Little John, who was the first to attack, would not be together in other people's opinion, then she is still somewhat thin-faced.

If Kathleen Kennedy is not well-known, perhaps the company she co-founded with Steven Spielberg, Amblin Entertainment, is not well-known either.

Then the first movie she participated in as a producer must be a movie that is a household name among movie fans around the world - "ET".

In the same year, she also collaborated with Spielberg in another film "The Exorcist."

Of course, these two are not the only films she participated in that are household names.

"Back to the Future" series, "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Pretty Woman", "Jurassic Park" series, "Schindler's List", "Covered Bridge", "The Age of Era", "War of the Worlds" She is on the list of producers of films such as "Lincoln" and "Star Wars".

Of course, if she only relies on this layer, the effect of her coming forward may not be very good.

But she also has another identity.

Her namesake had an older brother who was president, John Kennedy, who shared the same name with John Jr.

So when she invited Little John to meet.

For the sake of that 'John', little John ran over in a hurry.

Not only did he rush over, but Anna also chose to shut up in front of the media after receiving the goodwill signal from her.

Because, I can't afford it.

Later generations commented on Kathleen Kennedy at best: her greatest achievement in life was "being the woman behind Spielberg."

The true assessment is that her magic doesn't just affect Lucasfilm.

Disney has to listen to her.

For example, the much-criticized Black Mermaid, the black nobles in the Nordic fairy tale Frozen, the Asgardian woman as king, Thor replaced by Jane Foster, and the invincible Captain Marvel were all created by her.

Can you afford to offend such a person?
The only thing that can defeat magic is more powerful magic.

What's more, this woman is blessed by undead magic.

After all, when many people hear her name, they will think of the dead John and the bumpy fate of Catherine.

"I'll go with you, Catherine."

Tom Hanks also showed his tough side.

Catherine smiled, thought for a moment, and said "Okay."

As expected, the information about the return flight was leaked.

As soon as he landed at the airport, Xiangyang's cell phone kept ringing.

Text messages were sent, and the callers were Han Sanping, Xiang Tai, Cheng Long, and Huang Xiaoming. He didn't have time to reply to them. As soon as he walked out of the checkpoint and came to the luggage area, he saw the reporters guarding the outside.

Fortunately, Zhuo Wei sent himself a message, telling him to be careful when he came out.

"Hey, where are you?"

"I'm picking up my luggage, but there are reporters outside."

"I saw them." Liu Qianqian was not very happy when she mentioned the reporters who prevented her from meeting Xiang Yang earlier.

In the past few days, she finally felt how her mother was treated in the past.While answering endless phone calls, she also had to worry about the person holding her heart.

"You stay in there for a while, after a few more flights, and then find an opportunity to come out." Liu Qianqian patiently imparted her experience and lowered her voice, "Hurry up, I'm already hungry."

"Yeah" I looked at the time on my wrist. It was just past 6 pm, dinner time.

Xiang Yang suggested: "Why don't you, my dear wife, find a place to eat first?"

"I brought some snacks."

Liu Qianqian murmured: "I want to have dinner with you. I asked my mother to specially cook your favorite food."

"Well, then you wait for me."

Xiang Yang nodded vigorously.

Facing the reporter's interview, he was really tired.

After picking up his luggage in the luggage area, he found a place to sit down and started checking the current progress of things on his mobile phone.

Overall, this hard-nosed episode was a slap in the mouth to the Oscars.

Among them, there must be many people who are offended.

Even though the chairman is apologizing to himself in front of the media, there may be some kind of knife prepared for him behind his back.

And for this matter, I owe so many favors that I can’t even count them all for the time being.

"Forget it, the water will come and the earth will cover it up." Compared with external news, Xiangyang paid more attention to how the matter was viewed domestically.

Xiang Yang was relieved when the news that he was supported by the relevant departments at the press conference came into view.

A sense of pride emerged from the bottom of my heart.

It cannot be said that no one cared about such a thing.

But for being able to spark discussion on such a large scale, I should be No. 1.

Xiang Yang almost smiled crookedly when he thought that through his own revolt, the fashion industry began to change and he noticed some incorrect things.

But immediately, he frowned again.

Huang Qiusheng?
Damn, isn't this what it is?
"I have participated in some of the top productions in Hollywood," he said with a smile during an interview with Hong Kong media: "My participation in the filming of "The Veil" in 2006 is something I will never forget. I was always in a hurry, you know.

I don’t feel that there is any disrespect for me. He is from the mainland and is too petty."

"Yes, the mainland actors who participated in the filming with me didn't say anything at all. They couldn't understand what this kind of person was doing. He also made such a sacred place like the Oscars a mess.

How embarrassing now."

"That designer Xiang Yang?" Chen Kexin, who had just achieved good results with the release of "October Siege", also laughed in an interview: "I've heard that he is very good, and he will change it if he asks."

In the Hong Kong circle, the one who mocked the International Chapter at the film awards ceremony for bullying Li Zhi, who was born in the Mainland, is Zhou Runfa, the most hypocritical star:

"I don't know what he thinks. I had a good cooperation with Disney in 07. Bill, the producer of "Midnight in Paris", also known as Captain Jones, is also a good friend of mine. So he is so great, so what about "Midnight in Paris" in which I participated? Does "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" also need to change its name?"

Relative to the other three.

Wu Yusen, who has always been mentioned when it comes to representatives of Chinese film characters who have made a career in Hollywood, looked embarrassed during the interview. Because of his status as a judge, he also has to participate in this Oscar.

"I can understand Xiang Yang and I can understand Hollywood's 'mistake'. This is a misunderstanding."

I have been in contact with Cheng Long, and I have heard that the Hong Kong media's tactics are mostly non-shocking and non-stop. When I saw these reports, I didn't know what to say.

Are you angry?
Definitely angry.

Are these people in Hong Kong uneducated?

Or did he deliberately ignore the year 1981 that he emphasized in the interview?
Especially Huang Qiusheng, who said he came from inland, what about him?
Why do you have the nerve to talk about your origins when the British don't want anything they don't want?
I have a British father who has to learn English to make novels by British writers and movies with British actors. I don’t know who is embarrassed.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he simply turned off his phone.

As for the film and television practitioners in the mainland, whoever wants to scold them can do so.

In the eyes of some people, the Oscars ceremony is a high-level honor, but to put it bluntly, it is just an award.

Each country can only have one film, and thousands of good films every year are rarely shortlisted. However, the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which has become a household name because it has been chased by Chinese films in recent years, is even more of a joke.

Do you need Oscar recognition?

As a designer, he doesn’t even care whether he is recognized by the Council of Fashion Designers of America, which is the “Oscar of the fashion industry” (the highest honor in the world’s handmade fashion industry and the Paris fashion industry, and the highest award in the world’s fashion industry is the Gold Medal). thimble award).

The Oscar is even less important to him.

Seeing groups of passengers arriving, I was about to leave and blend in with the crowd. I took no more than two steps toward the sun when my cell phone suddenly rang.

"Xiang, where are you? There is a lady who wants to say a few words to you."

Little John cleared his throat.

"Madam?" Xiangyang frowned, "Who is it?"

"Ms. Catherine," Little John glanced at the other party and said, "The vice president of the Oscar organizer, she wants to express her apology to you in person and communicate with you."

"Ok."

Hearing this, Xiang Yang suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and thought...
Aren't you asking if you want to change your name?
If you feel so unhappy, then change it.

　In addition, you can search for Chow Yun-fat's affairs, but it was blocked just now and you can't write about it.
