"So are you going to watch this documentary this afternoon?" It was Jessica who spoke up, as if Cornell had never appeared before, and didn't care about potential scandals, even if it was okay at this time. I saw Cornell kicking the ice slag at the door.し

This calm atmosphere made Renly impress again, "Yes, I decided to line up to see, how about you?"

"I'm going to watch another movie, 'Tyrannosaurus'"

The two finally got quiet and exchanged the viewing experience of the past three days. Compared with Toronto and Telluride, Sundance's independent films are like stars in the sky. There are quite a few works that Renly has never seen or even heard of. Although the quality of the works is uneven, the quality of these independent filmmakers is very high. The pioneering spirit and exploratory spirit were eye-opening for Renly.

After drinking coffee, Jessica left first, and the "Tyrannosaurus" scene was earlier.

Left alone, Renly did not rush to pour the rest of the coffee into his mouth, but seriously recalled what Cornell had just said. He wasn't worried at all about those rumors, and believed that Andy would handle it. However, when he heard some news just now, a flash of information flashed in his mind.

After careful recall, Renly finally remembered. When "Three Days of Dangerous Love" was disqualified from the election, Lionsgate was suspected of violating the rules during the academy's public relations process and made a low-level mistake, which led to a disaster.

In fact, "Three Days of Dangerous Love" has a general reputation among professional film critics, and the audience feedback and box office performance are not satisfactory. Coupled with the theme of the thriller plot, it is not easy to occupy a place in the awards season.

But the intricacies of awards season can't be generalized. Just like Meryl Streep, who also won an Oscar for Best Actress for "The Queen Wears Prada", when people see Meryl's name, they subconsciously It will be checked. This kind of trust accumulated over time cannot be shaken, which is the same as brand value.

The director and screenwriter of "Three Days of Dangerous Love" is Paul Haggis, who was the director who defeated "Brokeback Mountain" with "Crash". "Letter from Iwo Jima", "Battle of Elah Valley", "007: Battle of Casino Royale" and other masterpieces are also not to be underestimated in Hollywood.

In addition, the film's male protagonist is Russell - Crowe (russell-cro-neeson), these are Hollywood actors with strong connections and solid reputation.

Lionsgate naturally hopes that the film can make a difference, but it didn't expect that it would be self-defeating to be kind.

The so-called academy public relations actually means attending various awards ceremonies for publicity; attending various media occasions and cooperating with interviews; attending various private parties and socializing. This is similar to elections.

For example, an important part of the reason why "Crash" was able to overturn "Brokeback Mountain" was because the traditional white elderly judges refused to watch "Brokeback Mountain" and "Crash" distribution companies due to their rejection of homosexuality. Lionsgate, seizing this opportunity, desperately printed 60,000 DVDs, sent them to the judges of the academy, and called every three to five to ask the judges if they had watched the film and how they felt.

However, public relations is an ambiguous word, and it is easy to fall into the rut of negative links such as bribery, bribes, and secret deals. Therefore, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has formulated relevant policies in order to avoid violations. . However, there are policies above and countermeasures below.

The Weinstein brothers are undoubtedly veterans of loopholes in the rules.

After Shakespeare in Love was nominated for an Oscar in 1998, the Weinstein brothers quickly threw a series of celebration parties for director john-madden, including three influential people. College senior judge. In fact, it's against the Academy's rules: producers cannot host social events for nominees with Academy members.

But the Weinstein brothers explained, "I'm sorry that there were three members of the Academy, but it was a news scene. If you want to make news, you have to get some famous people over."

Similar edge balls, even the academy has no choice but to acquiesce.

This time, it is not surprising that Lionsgate Pictures, eager to achieve success, was accidentally caught by the academy. However, taking a step back, "Three Days of Crisis" has limited competitiveness. It has not received a single nomination above the Golden Globe Award, and it is not too regrettable to be deprived of competition qualifications.

The reason why this news caught Renly's attention was because he thought of "Buried Alive", and he finally remembered why "Buried Alive" didn't get any nominations in his previous life!

In the last life, the distribution company of "Buried Alive" was Lionsgate Pictures. At that time, Lionsgate Pictures was suspected of illegal canvassing and was disqualified from the election by the college. As a result, there was no trace or nothing on the subsequent Oscar nominations list.

In this life, at the Toronto Film Festival, Lionsgate was also one of the strongest contenders for "Buried Alive", but in the end they chose Focus Pictures, and Renly gave the opinion.

In fact, Renly didn't think much about it at the time, he just talked about the matter, and he didn't remember this incident in his last life at all. Unexpectedly, he dodged a bullet inadvertently. "Buried Alive" can still retain the hope of hitting the Oscars. Whether it is because of the switch to Focus Pictures, it is impossible to know.

Thinking of this, Renly called

Andy's phone.

It wasn't Andy who answered the phone, but his assistant Nancy Kingsley, "Renly, Andy is not very convenient right now, why don't you call back later?" Nancy's voice was a little embarrassed.

In the background of the phone came Andy's violent voice, "Does he have no brains? I've seen arrogant, never so stupid! Who does he think he is? Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!" followed by a series of It's rude, it's hard to hear.

Renly was slightly surprised.

Since knowing Andy, he has always been a smiling Maitreya Buddha, and he doesn't even feel too much aggression. He takes it for granted that Andy is an introverted and strategized personality, but now it seems that even the superior Yes, there are times when it erupts. What's more, Andy is not those aristocrats in England.

"Then I'll call back later." Renly hung up the phone with a smile without asking any more questions.

But less than two minutes after the phone was put down, Andy called back, "Renly, what's the matter? Is everything okay at Sundance?" The gentle smile came from the other end of the phone. As if nothing had happened just now.

"Very good, everything is fine with me." Renly nodded in affirmation. Compared with Toronto and Telluride, with an assistant by his side, Renly's life has indeed become much more convenient. I called you mainly to ask you about our current situation, is everything okay?"

Andy frowned slightly, "What did you hear?" He knew Ren Li's personality, definitely not
