Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 787 Discriminated against?
Before entering the hotel, Leila and Roy were mobbed by a group of reporters.

"Director Moran, how do you feel about the nomination of "Lord of the Rings" this time?"

"Do you think the Ballon d'Or was unfair?"

"Can you comment on the number of nominations for Brokeback Mountain?"

"What's going on?" Roy asked in a low voice, puzzled, as he helped Laila avoid the microphones that were about to reach her face.

Laila pinched his hand for a while to explain to him, then turned to the reporters, smiled and said, "Brokeback Mountain directed by Ang Lee is a good film, and it deserves those nominations. As for why "The Lord of the Rings" didn't Got it, I think there are probably too many strong competitors this time.”

After finishing speaking, she nodded to the reporters, ignored the waves of questions, and dragged Roy into the hotel.

"This time I got four nominations for Lord of the Rings and seven nominations for Brokeback Mountain, and there are rumors that we were discriminated against by the Golden Globes. You know, a lot of people know the qualities of those judges and film critics. , as long as it is a high-grossing film, it will be considered a commercial film with no connotation."

As she walked towards the hotel, she explained to Roy.He's been on set all the time, so it's not surprising that he doesn't know much about these situations.

"Why do you have the idea that if the box office is high, there is no connotation? Didn't "Titanic" also win the global box office of 18 billion, and then swept all the awards?"

Lila smiled and shook her head: "Not every movie is "Titanic". When I have a movie with a box office of 18 billion, I can probably sweep it."

At the beginning, Cameron's "Titanic" received 14 nominations at the Oscars, 11 of which won awards, tying the record of "Ben-Hur" in film history. I don't know how many people were shocked.

Is this movie really that good?She didn't think so.Yes, the film is exquisite and moving, and the special effects are impeccable.But if you want to compare it with many previous sweeping films, in some places it still lacks a little "connotation" that film critics like to say.

What did "Titanic" teach you?Isn't this the favorite place for judges to use their own standards?They want to see something more profound, not a pile of images piled up with money.But when they faced "Titanic", they obviously threw this rule aside.

So many people around the world have watched the movie, and it has created so many box offices, making it the No. 2 in film history in one fell swoop, surpassing No.[-] by a large margin.At this point, the film is no longer an independent film, but a phenomenon, a terrible hurricane.Anyone who tries to resist this trend will eventually be blown to the bone.

Also wonder what would happen if someone came forward to call out its shortcomings when the whole world said they liked it.It's not that he is unconventional and has his own ideas, but that he is grandstanding, funny, and a lunatic.

Judges are also human beings, and they even cherish their own reputations more than ordinary people, which is why "Titanic" is rewarded at the Oscars.

So Laila thinks that one day, if she also makes such a film that can sweep the world and become the number one box office in film history, she will definitely win the Oscar and get soft.But if she is willing, she doesn't need to be so troublesome. She can take out the films that will win good awards in the future. After her processing and the promotion of Moran's media, I believe that the competitiveness of the awards will definitely be higher than the original ones. Quite a few.

"The "Lord of the Rings" is very good this time, with word-of-mouth and positive reviews. I think you have a great chance of winning the award!" Roy knew what she wanted, although she kept saying that those arrogant judges could not award the award For a young her, but he still felt that the other nominated films could not compare with hers.

Leila smiled and shook her head: "Impossible. Whether it's a Golden Globe or an Oscar, it's impossible to give me the award. Don't talk about the age limit, just look at the people who were nominated with me, George Clooney's "Good Night and Good Luck," Steven Spielberg's "Munich," Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain," Peter Jackson's "King Kong," and Fernando Merrills' "The Immortal Gardener." , all films and directors are quite competitive. Even I can't say that I can take the trophy from them in a fair way."

Roy didn't think so: "Yes, those directors are all great directors, and they all made very good works. But have you forgotten one thing? You, Laila Moran, are also the best director in Hollywood. Compared with other directors, do you think they can catch up with what you have created?"

He wondered if the sum of the movies made by those people was as much as she got?
This is really not his fantasy, but has a real basis.Among these people, Spielberg should get the most box office, right?I am afraid that other people's movies are not as many as his.And Spielberg's best-selling hits are "Jurassic Park" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark". How can it catch up with the box office miracles created by Leila?

He can't say the specific figures, and he doesn't know how many movies he has made and how many box office he has received, but he knows one thing very well, that is, the ten movies that Leila has brought over these years are absolutely what any other director needs to look up to. box office.Don't forget, her worst movie has a global box office of 3 million, and the highest "Lord of the Rings 1" even won 14 billion!
Lila was taken aback by what he said. Indeed, she always accidentally forgot that she was no longer the self in her previous life. Over the years, she has made so many classic films one after another.If it is said that Nolan took eight films in ten years to walk the road to becoming a god, then didn't she also use ten films to prove that she has stood on the top of Hollywood?
"Thanks, Roy, you always know how to make me happy." That's always been what keeps her happy.

Roy took her shoulders and kissed her on the forehead: "Who makes you happy, I will be happy?"

The two were talking, and they had already entered the award ceremony venue under the leadership of the staff.

"Director Moran."

"Laila."

"Hi Roy."

Seeing the two coming in, many people gathered around to say hello to them.Roy is because of his full friendship attributes, he can make friends wherever he goes and talks to anyone.He has joined so many crews for so many years, it can definitely be said that he has made friends all over the world.

As for Leila, she is the top director in Hollywood.The most important thing is that she has unlimited potential. She is not yet 30 years old, and she will be able to make more excellent movies for at least a few decades in the future. How can she not have a good relationship with such a director?
