The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 2238: Turn your hand into the cloud
Turning hands is a cloud, covering hands is rain.
This is too apt to describe Harvey Weinstein's ease of use during the Hollywood awards season. He clearly grasped the mentality of the academy judges and promoted public opinion in an effective way. Changing the direction of the wind seemed to be nothing more than It's nothing more than flipping; although the human mind is the most difficult thing to grasp, the elite psychology under the shackles of morality and prestige can be guided, which is also the method Harvey is best at.
The same is true now.
Although the "Blasting Drummer" screening has just started, Lan Li easily became the leader of the battle for the actor, easily breaking Harvey's awards season layout; but after venting his anger, Harvey quickly calmed down because he knew To know:
The ups and downs of the academy’s public relations during the award season are always a variable. Before reaching the finish line, no one can predict what will happen. The miracle of the reversal of Shakespeare’s love history was just like that; now it’s only the beginning of December. Said that the curtain of the awards season has not been fully opened, and there will be many awards season works in the next three weeks. Lan Li can now lead, but it does not mean that he can lead all the way to the end.
Harvey shot quickly.
However, Harvey did not make a big move, but carefully added to the flames and slightly guided.
Harvey has stirred up the negative news that has been buzzing for a while and has not yet retreated, and the controversy surrounding Lan Li once again stirs up his Ali; moreover, Harvey is very clever to turn over all "conspiracy theories" speculations. Coming out-not only the opponent's enemy, but also the black material that Weinstein Pictures is behind the scenes, to achieve "equal treatment", and the muddy water is more and more disturbed.
In this way, Lan Li's reputation as a "fashionable beauty" will be firmly established. Regardless of whether it is related to the blue gift, and whether it is in line with the blue gift's wishes, it is certain that the award season has indeed become smoggy because of the blue gift, and the conspiracy theories flying over the sky have seriously affected the image of the college.
This is enough.
Harvey doesn’t need to do too much at all. He only needs to promote some speech on the Internet and within Hollywood. He doesn’t even need to slander or slander, and he doesn’t need to dig black material. He can use the whole public opinion to put pressure on Lanly. , This "hongyan" seemed to be in trouble all the time, leaving an impression on the college judges:
Strong strength? Indeed, it may be that Lanly deserves a nomination; but to get to the top? This seems unconvincing, so don't choose Lanli.
Harvey can't control the judges' thoughts, but he can apply a little magic to make a subtle deviation in the willingness to vote. The final result will deviate from the established trajectory of "Wind Word of Mouth" and increase his chances of success. It's enough, like planting a seed.
"It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to the sky"-the premise is that the part that can be planned must be accurately calculated, even without compromise. This is the law of success of the Weinstein brothers in the primitive jungle of Hollywood.
"Lan Li is very good, but besides Lan Li, are there anyone else?"
"If Lan Li really won the Oscar nomination for five consecutive years, that would seem good, but winning? Let's forget it.
"It's only been three years since Lan Li won the Oscar last time. Are we discussing it again? Is this too impatient?"
"Len Li's excellence is unquestionable, but is he good enough to immediately climb to the Oscars for the second time? Even Heath Ledger just won a golden figure, not to mention the countless actors who are outstanding but have never been able to reach the top. Now, let’s start discussing Renly’s second letter. Isn’t it too impatient? Shouldn’t you consider other actors first? Hollywood is not the only one Renly Hall.
"Every year is Lan Li, is it our aesthetic fatigue, or Lan Li is too hungry/thirsty?"
"Hype hype, even if it is not Renly manipulating the hype, it is impossible for things to have nothing to do with Renly. If it hadn't been for him to make trouble again, Hollywood would not be so smoky."
"Ren Li is very good, but is it really good enough to surpass all other actors? Isn't Benedict Cumberbatch worthy of having a name? Or, now everyone can only see Lan Li ?"
"I know that Lan Li is an excellent actor, but I don't think'Burst Drummer' is so good."
"Now that the awards season has just begun, are we going to make a decision directly? Isn't it too sloppy, shouldn't we give other actors some opportunities?"
"The media always say that wind is rain, and the'burst drummer' has just come out. It's like Oscar is not in the air. This is unfair to other works. We can't ignore other works and other actors just because Lan Li is good. It's better to calm down. If you look on the sidelines, maybe you can dig out more excellent works? After all, Hollywood will not promote the development of the entire industry just because of an actor. We need to see more works."
Whether it’s the Internet or Hollywood, these subtle remarks are gradually spreading. They are innocuous and have no offensive power. On the surface, they are a kind of rational discussion, but they have changed the direction of public opinion invisibly, and the rapid rise of "burst drummers" The heat obviously began to cool down-
A slight difference, a thousand miles away, deviating from the starting point a little bit, and finally reaching the end, it may be completely changed. There are still nearly three months away from the end of the Oscars, and anything is possible.
It has to be said that Harvey Weinstein is indeed clever, did not spend too much effort, but got results beyond imagination-and he does not need to dirty his hands, no one will notice his movements.
But this time, Harvey still underestimated the popularity of "Burst Drummer", or in other words, underestimated the appeal of Lan Li. To be more precise, Harvey underestimated the influence of Lan Li in Hollywood. After so many ups and downs, the current Lan Li is no longer able to be shaken by any negative news:
Not to mention that there are definitely not a few interests that are maintained in Renly. Warner Bros., Sony Classics and Universal Pictures are bound to be unwilling to damage Renly’s reputation. Even Disney has indirect interests, and they can’t just watch public opinion. Off-track and stand by indifferently; it is impossible to ignore the news media alone.
Although reporters and paparazzi always oppose Lan Li, in the past few years, Lan Li has also accumulated countless contacts and has his own reputation among media reporters. Like Harvey, Lanly also has its own direct media; unlike Harvey, there are fewer interest entanglements between Lanly and the media, but more reliable.
Obviously, Harvey underestimated Lan Li in this regard.
The remarks of the industry and the Internet have just begun to emerge, and the wind has changed. The "New Yorker" wrote a special commentary that discussed in depth the development status of the entire Hollywood.
"Whose cheese did Renly-Hall touch?"
The timing of the appearance of this article is so ingenious and so unique that it makes people wonder whether it was aimed at Harvey; but the content of the article is very professional and very deep, and it does not look like a manuscript pieced together in a hurry. Moreover, Harvey's movements are very secret and lack context, and outsiders are basically unpredictable, so "intentional targeting" should not exist.
Despite this, the timing is amazing. It can only be said that there are too many eyesight paying attention to Lan Li. A little bit of trouble may cause a chain effect. Whether it is the Weinstein brothers or the "New Yorker", they are all It's just one of the many forces that pay attention to Lanli.
Turning hands is a cloud, covering hands is rain. In the entire Hollywood, it is definitely not only Harvey Weinstein who can achieve this ability; the higher Renley’s position in the industry, the more interests surrounding him, which also means participation. The more groups are competing for interests.
It can be predicted now that this year's awards season should be very lively, very very kind.
Looking back at the "New Yorker", this is a topic, and it can be seen that they have been preparing for this issue for a long time, and many materials and related content have been prepared~lightnovelpub.net ~ And then waited for the right time to come on stage, "Burst Drummer" undoubtedly became the best time.
At the beginning of the article, it lists a series of feats of Blue Li’s history, from awards to box office, a list of honors are listed, just like displaying all the trophies in a cupboard. It is indeed powerful and shocking. In the writing, he admitted frankly that Lanly has reached an insurmountable peak. Even without considering the age factor, Lanly has already stood at the top position in the entire industry.
Immediately afterwards, the article analyzed in detail the rise time, ascent trajectory and glorious achievements of Lanli, trying to find relevant reasons from the background of the entire era and the social environment-the times make heroes, and the appearance of most heroes is closely related to the times. Li is no exception.
Naturally, the article puts forward a clear point: Lanly’s achievements are really too horrible, which has led to continuous doubts and challenges. This is also the reason why the "hype" rumors appear once every three errors. It will continue for some time to come.
Whether it’s jealous, worried, repulsive, considerate, but the article believes that the real cause is "panic", the panic that one's existing interests are affected-including remuneration, awards, performance opportunities Wait and so on, even Lan Li’s youth and talent have given him the ability to develop infinitely over a long period of time. This also means that his prestige and appeal will increase day by day, and ultimately threaten the current top power holders in the pyramid. The position of the film industry will then change the mode of operation of the entire film industry, and the division of interests will be re-arranged.
This is definitely not gibberish, nor alarmist. Although it looks like a "New Yorker" wishful thinking, it is definitely not.
