Chapter 251 Roland, Win!

"Comeon, Comeon, Comeon, you must come in!"

New York, in a resort, Goldie Han, who was dressed in Nike, swung a club in the words of Sui Suinian. When the sound of breaking through the air sounded, the small white ball flew out instantly as if equipped with a propeller.

Immediately afterwards, she used her hands as the brim of a hat to cover the sun, and looked at the trajectory of the white ball. When she found that the ball went up the slope, then fell back, rolled a few times along the No. , also appears.

"Birdie! Hahaha~"

Clenched his fist and waved it vigorously, then spread his five fingers, turned around and gave his companion a high-five.

Meryl Streep, who gave applause and laughter, congratulated her when she saw such a result: "Go-Go, it seems that you have practiced a lot recently! Your skills are improving by leaps and bounds. You couldn't make a birdie before." .”

"Yeah! Mary, since March 1st, I've been on the golf course every day." Goldie Han nodded with a smile, "You're already the third person to ask me out to play golf. You're scolding me." After the war..."

The scolding war Goldie Hawn refers to, of course, refers to FOX and ABC’s split-beep, and NBC’s invitation of well-known film critics from all walks of life to come to the recording site of the New York headquarters to debate Kenneth Turan and Roger Ebert. A special program about who is right and who is wrong.

After the public opinion was stirred up, Goldie Han, the judges with voting rights, received various invitations: some invited her to go to the designated theater of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to review "Titanic"; Some invited her out to play golf; some invited her to business dinners held by major brands; some invited her out for dinner.

The most ruthless is Sony Columbia Samsung.

The publicity and distribution department called Goldie Han directly and told Goldie Han that since the film "Cool Boys and Girls Call You" her daughter participated in was a low-budget movie, the resources for publicity and distribution may not be sufficient, but Sony Columbia Samsung thinks she The daughter is doing well, and if she is willing to cooperate, they can take the film to the independent film festival.

"My God! Mary!"

"You really don't know, when I received all kinds of calls, I thought I was back to the era of the big studios controlled by the Seven! Isn't it just a vote? They have to make it like this ?"

After putting down the golf clubs, Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep returned to the golf cart.

There were only the two of them in the four-seater car, and the assistant security guards were watching from a distance, so it was unscrupulous to communicate.

"Of course it is necessary."

Looking at the old friend with his hands resting on the railing of the chair back, shaking the water bottle in his hand, Meryl Streep said frankly, "If they don't have public relations, would you vote for Roland?"

"If they didn't PR, would you vote for Kate?"

"If they didn't PR, would you vote for both Roland and Kate?"

Three consecutive hits made Goldie Han narrow his eyes.

Then, she spit out an affirmative answer, "No."

"As Kenneth Turan said..."

"Of course, I believe that if it wasn't for the support of someone, he wouldn't have said everything so bluntly."

Although Goldie-Han has not acted in a movie with high artistic value, she also holds voting rights in her hands.

In other words, at the end of the era of the big studios, the major studios actually had a premonition of disintegration, so, in order to spend the rest of their lives better, they have a certain degree of confidence in the Oscar, which has already been operated. With more power to speak, they added a lot of their own people to the academy. The guys who joined in the 1970s were all the interests of the major studios.

Because there are too many people rushing, these guys can really determine the ownership of an award.

It is precisely because of the biased voting behavior that Steven Spielberg pointed at the noses of the judges at the Oscars and cursed. Many unjust cases were committed to combat competitors.

Of course, most of the time, people feel that they voted blindly because of jealousy, because compared with those guys who are popular at the box office, most of the guys who are sent to the Oscar jury circle by big studios are It's 'loser', they are losers who can't make profits for the studio, and can only use art that the audience doesn't understand to decorate the facade, and when these losers have voting rights and can decide the life and death of the winners outside the venue, they will take revenge , also appeared.

Powers not used, expired and void.

As a result, Oscar gradually deviated from the original purpose of MGM.

Before these 'losers' joined, how could there be any distinction between award-winning films and commercial films in the Oscars?

What the people like is good.

They like to watch Gone with the Wind, and Gone with the Wind is the best movie.

If people are not willing to pay to see a movie, what you are saying is profound, no matter how many awards you get, it is useless!

Propaganda should do the work of propaganda, if ideas cannot be conveyed, and images cannot be shaped, if you say you have done a good job, isn’t that the dumb telling the deaf, or the blind seeing ghosts?

But unfortunately, the 'loser' has already entered, so it is not easy to kick out.

As a result, the awards that should have been for commending achievements have become ornaments to decorate the facade.

"Hmm~"

Meryl Streep, who also understood the truth, pronounced with her nose and looked at her old friend with a smile.

"Well, we all know these things..."

"I also think it's a bit of a big deal this time, but I ask myself, if there's no big trouble and just make a phone call, will we be willing?"

"Each judge represents a different faction, and to make them feel that it is not impossible to break the record, we must let them see everyone's determination, and now, everyone has seen the determination, next What the judges have to do is to follow the fundamental purpose of the major studios to let them join the academy, exercise the powers given to them by the studios, protect the interests of the studios, and achieve the renewal of their own rights ..."

Meryl Streep didn't mention the Academy, because they all know that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was established to fight against Will Hayes. It is a for-profit professional organization, but the problem is that its annual operating funds are sponsored by the previous eight majors, later the seventh majors, and now the sixth majors.

That is to say, with the emergence of cable TV, the live broadcast of the Oscars can be sold at a high price, which makes them realize their own profits and losses in a true sense. But the problem is that the broadcasters of the Oscars, those cable media networks, also It is still controlled by giants, so even though a hundred years have passed, the nature has not changed.

What's more, Oscar's authority also needs to be maintained by the media.

As long as it is an influential non-profit professional organization, there will be no fairness, justice and openness.

Just look at the situation of the World Health Organization.

The glamor on the surface and the magnificence of the reputation are nothing but useful.

But the bottom line is that whoever has the biggest fist can squat on their head and shit.

"So, I wonder, is Steven trying to retaliate?"

"Disgusting those judges who didn't vote for him back then?"

Under repeated bombardment, Goldie Han had already made a decision. Now, it's just a few more chats with old friends.

Her speculation also made Meryl Streep raise her eyebrows, shrug her shoulders and spread her hands, shaking her head: "I don't know about that."

"Then what do you know?"

Goldie-Han asked, "You don't know anything, so you come to help them be a lobbyist?"

"You're right, I really don't know anything..."

Meryl Streep nodded. Seeing the unbelief on Goldie Han's face and the urge to raise her hand to hit someone, she smiled in defense and said, "Okay, okay Well, I actually know a little bit…”

"Say it!" Goldie Hawn urged pretending to be angry, "Tell me! How much does Steven care about this matter?"

How concerned is Steven Spielberg about this Olympic rush?

This is the thing Goldie Han wants to know the most right now.

It's also the one thing the rest of the judges, who are being bombarded by lobbying, want to know most.

No one can be popular forever, but everyone is eager to hold on to power forever.

If it is said that in the 1970s and 1980s, Goldie Han was in the limelight, then with the advent of the 1990s, she has gradually become obsolete. After 1992, she has not made any serious movies. , She also understands that if she wants to stay in the inner circle of Hollywood, the only thing she can rely on is the annual awards ceremony.

She can use the votes in her hand in exchange for those guys who are eager to get votes to favor her daughter's resources. Now, it is the best choice to 'sell' the votes to the most powerful Jewish gang in the circle.

Of course, the ticket price is actually determined according to the actual situation of the demander.

Everyone knows that Spielberg spoils his youngest apprentice, but how much?

That depends on the momentum of the Olympic Games.

But they obviously don't understand the current momentum!

No matter how powerful the Jewish Gang is, it can’t touch the Sixth Congress!

In this case, it is the safest choice to find someone who knows the basics to estimate the price.

Unfortunately, Meryl Streep didn't know how much Spielberg cared, and she could only tell the other party—

“When I got the call from Francis, what he told me was…”

"Must succeed."

...

"What?! Sidney?! Even you are canvassing for him?!"

When Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep were playing golf in New York, Elizabeth Taylor, who was enjoying life in a mansion, was also harassed, and what appeared in front of her was the winner of "Out of Africa" Sidney Pollack at the 58th Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director.

The old man wearing glasses nodded with a smile after hearing the high-pitched surprised sound.

"Looking at your reaction, I shouldn't be the first to come to you?"

"Oh! Damn it! Those guys just asked me for help, and they didn't even tell me how many people they found! Isn't it more efficient to share the list and separate canvassing votes? This is really... hey..."

Although it was a complaint, Sidney Pollack's tone was very brisk.

Not only that, but things like award public relations seem to have no psychological pressure on him.

After listening to his catharsis, Yu Po directly skipped the voting itself.

Curiously asked: "Sidney, who asked you to be a lobbyist?"

"Harrison, Harrison Ford."

Everyone is an old friend, and Sidney Pollack didn't hide it, "And Dustin, Dustin Hoffman."

"Wowwwwwww?" After hearing the names of those two people, Yupo, who had retired long ago, exclaimed immediately. After a few seconds in a daze, she laughed and cursed: "Isn't it just a vote? This group of people How is it the same as crazy?"

"However...Harrison Ford and Dustin Hoffman came forward, it is quite normal..."

"Really? Then who do you think is abnormal?"

Looking at Elizabeth Taylor's state, Sidney Pollack has already guessed her decision.

If Yu Po was dissatisfied, she would definitely not laugh and complain now.

As soon as Sidney Pollack mentioned this, the smile on Yu Po's face frantically declined, and was replaced by helplessness, "Michael...Michael Jackson..."

"Francis Coppola and Martin Scorsese called him, and he wasn't interested in it, but for the sake of a friend, he called me and asked me to help. ..."

"You said Michael called me, you said I can not vote for them?"

After hearing the name Michael Jackson, Sidney Pollack nodded cheerfully.

"Since Michael has called you, you really have to vote for them."

Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson have a great relationship, and since Francis Coppola and Martin Scorsese can invite Michael Jackson, then here, he has nothing to do.

"Okay, then I'm leaving..." Sidney Coppola didn't even prepare to drink water.

"What? In such a hurry?" Elizabeth Taylor was shocked, "Who else are you going to help them canvass for votes?"

"Uh...next target is Robert Redford..."

"The next target is, Barbra Streisand..."

Looking at the figure that was gradually moving away, Elizabeth Taylor, who was sitting on the sofa, clicked her lips and said with emotion: "Robert Redford? Is this someone who wants to take care of the Fonda family? He is Jane Fonda's." Friends!"

"And Barbra Streisand..."

"Are these people crazy? That stupid woman wants all the tickets?"

"Why…"

"What the **** are these people thinking?"

"Isn't it just for an award? Is it necessary to make such a mobilization?"

"I have been in the circle for so many years, but I have never seen this kind of scene..."

...

Yu Po has been in the circle for decades, but she has never seen such a scene of rushing to the Olympics, so the others are even more confused.

Because the method of rushing to the Olympics in previous years was actually very gentle, and it would not be as abnormally irritable as it is now.

In the past, guys who wanted to win an Oscar would hire a special public relations company, give them lobbying cash, let them contact the judges, and use the three-inch tongue of those lobbyists to implant the film they want to win the award into the judges. heart, and then when voting, cast the vote in your hand as biased as possible.

If it is more intense, it will use media marketing to smear the opponent like Harvey Weinstein.

Using massive publicity to smear others, the judges have already learned about some negative news that the public may know through newspapers, magazines, cable TV media networks and other channels before watching the movie, and then, with the first method, get vote.

What kind of acts of giving DVDs, picture albums, and gifts to the judges are just gifts for the public.

The real deal is to get what you want, I want your vote, you make your own price.

Those outdated guys wanted to let their descendants continue to hang out in the circle, and the deal was naturally reached.

Of course, before public relations, what everyone has to do is to select suitable judges and public relations based on the type of film.

For example, if there is LGBT content in the film, then take the initiative to give up conservatives;

If the film is anti-war, those who talk about hawks will be PASS;

If it is a biographical film, then prescribe the right medicine, first publicize the neutral judges, and then publicize the guys who don’t like biopics, put the guys who like biopics at the end, because there will be a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, People who like biographical movies have a strong subjective consciousness. If they feel that the movie is not made well, if you still lobby, it will only waste time and have unexpected side effects, so basically don’t touch this unless it is a last resort. stuff.

In this way, the most rare thing in the annual Olympics competition is to divide the judges.

Who should be publicized and who should not waste time on them, this is the most important thing.

But the problem is, this year, no one talks about movies.

We don't sell movies, we only sell people!

Those judges who were once sent to the academy by the Sixth University can be easily resolved by the Sixth University, and guys like Goldie Han can reach an agreement by exchanging benefits, because their heirs are already in the circle, and the rest of the guys , are basically old people in the industry who have experienced enough, and when publicizing them, you only need to find the right person to call, and there is no need to talk about movies at all.

Michael Jackson is a good friend of Elizabeth Taylor, so Francis Coppola and Martin Scorsese called Michael Jackson and asked this kid king to help him lobby, wouldn't it be all right?

Marlon Brando and Francis Coppola are good friends, so let Francis Coppola call, isn't it all right?

Bill Murray was brought out by Sidney Coppola, and Sidney Pollack was originally a member of the Jewish Gang!

Woody Allen is too embarrassed to call Diane Keaton, let Meryl Streep help!

Michael Douglas's ticket, Robert Zemeckis can get it!

When these people are communicating, what other movies do they need to say?

Decades of friendship, decades of mutual help, I would like to ask you to do me a favor and vote...

is that OK?

With everything on the table, not to mention the judges, even the academy can **** you!

Gregory Peck is the president of the college, and he and Robert Duvall are good friends. Robert Duvall even slept in a dormitory with Dustin Hoffman when he was in school, and he also slept with George Lucas Wearing a pair of pants with Francis Coppola, not only that, Steven Spielberg's "Jaws", or he helped to get it...

In this case, Steven Spielberg called and asked how many people voted for my students. Is it too much?

They didn’t do this before because the Sixth National Congress couldn’t handle it.

The Sixth National Congress has the media, if this kind of thing leaks out, it will be a scandal!

But it’s different now, the media has already collected money, and everyone is a grasshopper on a rope!

After the constraints are gone, what a cover-up!

How safe, how efficient, how come!

Harvey Weinstein is in Niubi, and that’s just some PR judges.

Those guys who have experienced the era of big studios and can respond to everything, don't like him at all.

At this stage, canvassing is all about favors.

Speaking of favors, these guys can be **** by Jewish gangsters!

And when the phone of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences rang, ABC told them bluntly that if Roland Allen and Kate Winslet participated in the awards ceremony, the advertising revenue could increase by 10% to 100%. at fifteen o'clock...

From top to bottom, all fall!

The opponent is mine, the referee is mine, the organizing committee is mine, and the broadcast sponsor is mine...

Before the starting gun fired, the result of the game was already out...

Roland, Win!

Note: ①Goldie-Han has been selling tickets for more than a day or two. Her daughter’s Golden Globe Award supporting actress was bought in exchange for tickets, and DreamWorks helped her do it. ②Oscars have never been clean. The academy I wrote can be publicized. It is true, and it happened, and more than once. When "Forrest Gump" and "Braveheart" were winning Oscars, a guy named Cheryl Isaacs did the public relations for the Olympics. She was the vice president of global publicity at Paramount at the time, and at the same time, nine In the second year, she was already the deputy director of the public relations department of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. People from the academy helped Ramon's film to promote the Olympic Games. Isn't this just the contestants, referees, and organizers getting involved? Yet? At the same time, she also made the best film "The King's Speech" and the best supporting actress "True Love", and she was a member of the Academy Council when making this film; she also made the best film "The Artist" , when she was the first vice-president of the Faculty Council; and now, she is the president of the Faculty. So I keep saying that Harvey Weinstein is really not good, he is a top pack, because there are too many guys who are better than him, and the method of giving things to the judges, the public relations judges are really The lowest, the top six of Niubi directly replaced the guys in the academy with their own people. If it is calculated according to the five floors, Harvey's fat man is the first floor if he dies.
