In the calm and calm, a storm was strangled in the cradle.

Although I don't know how the specific process is, Lanly knows that the situation that can make Andy lose his temper is definitely not that simple, "Then how did you deal with it in the end?"

"Even if Buried Alive wins the nomination, Chris shouldn't even want to attend the awards ceremony." Andy's understatement revealed a chilling categorical tone, "Not only that, he is really... stupid. "

Andy hesitated for a while in the choice of adjectives, and finally made a decision, making the Ren Li on the other end of the phone smile, "Focus Pictures is also dumbfounded, and his future path in Hollywood is estimated to be extremely difficult."

"If a reporter asks, you don't know. Don't worry, Focus Pictures will not leak this matter." Andy warned that although the matter was under control, it was recently cancelled due to "Three Days of Crisis" Regarding qualifications, there is a lot of turmoil throughout Hollywood. Those reporters are like gophers, looking for loopholes everywhere, but it is better to be careful.

"Don't worry about me." Lan Li said with a smile, without any panic. "By the way, I will tell you by the way. I played with a reporter from Entertainment Weekly just now, and he is likely to say that I and Jessie Ka-Chastain is dating."

A short sentence revealed too much information. Andy opened his mouth and finally turned into a relaxed smile under his eyes, "Is that true?"

"You said that if you have a date, you should report it to you. It's not time yet." Lan Li's response made Andy chuckle, "Well, I won't disturb your work anymore. I still have one. A movie is waiting for me to line up."

"Remember to promote it well." Andy exhorted, "Otherwise, I took such a big risk and chose this movie, if I didn't see the value, I would be very disappointed."

Lan Li chuckled lightly, and hung up the phone without answering.

Andy put the receiver of the fixed phone back, and stood still thinking about it. There is only less than a week left until the Oscar nominations are announced. "Buried alive" wants to beat "127 Hours" and it is still difficult to get the nominations. They need a miracle, not big or small, just like Amy Above the award, Ren Li defeated Al Pacino in general.

Lan Li poured the black coffee in the cup into his mouth, and was about to leave, but the phone received a text message from Andy, "Delete it after reading it, and don't leave any evidence." At the end, Lan Li was confused, but immediately, he received a new email in his mailbox.

After thinking about it, Lan Li opened the email.

"To the judges of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences,

...Roger Ebert gave'Buried Alive' a full four stars and praised the film with two thumbs up;'Variety Show' praised'Buried Alive' for its genius performance in creating and maintaining comedy tension. Hope Ou Kirk would be proud of this;'Buried alive' also won the 2010 National Critics Association Award for Best Original Screenplay...

This is an excellent film that is worth watching carefully and repeatedly. The solid script skills are even more amazing. I hope that the judges can vote for it.

Best regards,

Sincerely Chris Spalin. "

After reading this e-mail, Lan Li didn't hold back for a moment, the smile in his eyes flowed to his mouth and rose slightly. He finally understood what Andy was thinking now, and Chris was really...arrogant and stupid.

The college expressly stipulates that it is strictly forbidden to send any form of letters touting the advantages, achievements or originality of a certain aspect of the film. It is strictly forbidden to quote any form of film reviews from all walks of life, and it is strictly forbidden to mention any awards won by the film.

To put it simply, an email from Chris has violated all of the college's taboos, which is simply a trial.

Of course, is it true that what Chris said? Yes it is.

Roger Ebert is the most influential film critic in the United States. He praised "Buried Alive" at the Toronto Film Festival. Relevant comments can be found in the "Chicago Sun"; "Variety" magazine and others. Related film reviews are also real, including the sentence "Hitchcock will be proud of this."

The National Critics Association Award is one of the most important awards in North America. It was established in 1909. It is listed as the top five film critic associations in North America with the New York Film Critics Association, the Boston Film Critics Association, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, and the North American Radio Film Critics Association.

Among them, the National Critics Association Award, the North American Broadcasting Film Critics Association Award, and the Golden Globe Award are known as the "Three Oscars", which shows their importance.

During the awards season, in addition to the three major weather vanes, the actors’ union, director’s union, producer’s union, editor’s union, and screenwriter’s union are known as the five major union awards. There are also awards from film critics associations such as New York, Boston, and Los Angeles. They are absolutely important towns and play a vital role in the trend of awards.

Not long ago, the National Critics Association Awards announced this year’s list of winners. The “social network” swept across the army and collected several heavyweight awards including best film, best director, best actor, and best adapted screenplay. In the bag. Therefore, after the Golden Globe Awards, it is generally believed that this year's "King's Speech" is estimated to be difficult to compete with "social networks".

However, above the National Critics Association Award, there is another big winner, and that is "Buried alive." This work was not only shortlisted for the top ten films of the year, but also won two important awards, the most breakthrough performance award and the best original screenplay of the year. The momentum of the awards season is generally optimistic.

Chris specifically mentioned the National Critics Association Award in his email because of its importance. But there is one small detail. He only mentioned the "Best Original Screenplay Award." For him as a screenwriter, this email can be said to be selfish.

Although all this is true, and the momentum of "buried alive" is indeed excellent, such straightforward self-selling and boasting still violate the relevant regulations of the academy, and... it is really too cheap.

If "Social Network" and "King's Speech" want to list the praises and awards they have received, it is estimated that an email will not be enough. You must add attachments and slowly compile the form; "Buried alive" is currently in the award season. Don't Compared with the two leaders, even compared to works such as "127 Hours", "Winter's Bones", and "Blue Valentine's Day", it is still at a disadvantage.

Chris' self-promotion, which is serious among real professionals, is really a big joke.

Even though Lan Li has just entered Hollywood for only a year, he can be said to be ignorant of the rules of this industry, but he can also imagine that if this email is really sent, the college judges will look How wonderful it will be.

No wonder Andy said that the plot is worse than last year's Nicholas Chatier. This is not only embarrassing, but also a violation of regulations. Now it is on the cusp of being disqualified for the "Three Days of Crisis". "Buried alive" immediately followed by dust is also a certainty. It's like losing the watermelon and sesame seeds, and I'm still in embarrassment.

Recalling Andy's rage just now, Lan Li thought it was completely understandable. As a bystander, Lan Li can also feel the tension and pressure of the wind and rain. It is impossible to imagine how Andy feels in it, and what it feels like Focus Films.

Thinking about it carefully, Lan Li actually doesn't remember Chris' looks and voice. There is no way. There are really many people around him named "Chris".

Chris Sparling is a thin young man with a pale and weak scholar appearance, without any distinctive features, but his neat white teeth when he laughs makes a lot of impression. Those smug eyes are always shining with the light of expectation. When speaking, he always likes to bring gestures to show his self-confident ambition. It can be seen that he is full of expectations and confidence in the future.

"Buried alive" is just Chris's screenwriter debut. From nobody cares, to limited investment, to emerging, starting from Toronto, all the way forward, and now even have the opportunity to enter the ranks of Oscars, such an outstanding achievement is absolutely unprecedented. What I expected is enough to make everyone feel complacent, and even lose their way.

Lanly can experience the excitement and excitement of Chris, just like he was standing on the Emmys stage for the first time, his emotions are simply hard to restrain, even if he is reborn, it is no exception. Not to mention Chris?

Thinking about it this way, it’s no surprise that the email just now is full of spirits, winning tickets, eager to succeed, but too eager and too hungry, rampaged, and broke the blood.

In fact, this is a good thing. It is as if in Telluride, the rejection of the two works "Evil Boss" and "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" gave Lan Li a head start. In this Vanity Fair, each of them is a novice, growing every day, and you must pay some price when you are young. There is no shortcut.

The last life ~lightnovelpub.net~buried alive" missed the Oscar nomination, it is not surprising that Chris' recklessness, coupled with the negligence of Lionsgate, led to a regrettable result. .

What about this life? Without the interference of off-site factors, can "bury alive" make history?

After finishing his thoughts, raising his hand to delete the mail, and then packing up his things, Lan Li left the coffee shop and went to watch the "returned from hell", secretly praying, and the line should not be too long.

In just six months, Renly participated in three film festivals, Toronto, Telluride and Sundance. Each festival has its own characteristics and style. Even in Toronto, the local audience is full of enthusiasm. Leaving a deep impression on Lan Li. Now, he couldn't help but become a little curious, what is the scene of the three major European film festivals?

However, compared with far away Berlin, Cannes and Venice, Park City is where Renly needs all its energy. In a blink of an eye, the Sundance Film Festival has entered its fifth day, and the schedule is over halfway. The highlight of the show today is "Love Crazy"!

This small cost, small-format romantic movie with an investment of only 250,000 yuan, can it win the hearts of these discerning independent film fans?
