Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 568: In a hurry

In short, with the announcement of the nominations this time, the competition for this Oscar has entered a new stage.

Various gifts and public relations activities poured in, although Oscar rules prohibit excessive public relations.

But in the final analysis, the degree of certainty is still very vague.

At the very least, giving the judges a new DVD player to watch their own films is a sign of sincerity and not a so-called vote bribery.

As for the "little gifts" that come with it...

Although many of the Oscar judges are current or former stars and are not short of money, there are also many who spend all their money due to Hollywood's extravagant and lustful spending habits.

What's more, there are some people who become judges as screenwriters or other behind-the-scenes workers, and they are not particularly rich to begin with...

In short, the public relations for the Oscars every year is a time when the nominees cross the sea and show their talents.

Charlize is no exception.

Although because of the existence of Tom Cruise, she is not Pat Kingsley's first client.

But while the former was busy with her divorce and had no time to work for the time being, which could only cause her constant trouble, Kingsley was still very pleased that one of her stars could compete for the title of Best Actress.

Therefore, she also mobilized a lot of CAA resources to build momentum for Charlize.

Coupled with the large public relations expenses invested by Charlize herself, the momentum suddenly rose.

Charlize has been inseparable from the likes of Hilary Swank and Meryl Streep at multiple Oscars frontlines—from the Screen Actors Guild Awards to the Golden Globes.

As the director of "The Devil Wears Prada", Patty Jenkins even took the film to the Berlin Film Festival.

In this film festival dominated by political films and thrillers, "The Devil" with a feminist tone shines -

The film was nominated for a Golden Bear Award.

Although Charlize was no longer suitable to fly to Berlin due to her month of pregnancy, she still won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress.

In fact, according to the customs of the three major European film festivals, it is difficult for movie stars who are not present to attend to win awards.

——In their view, this is a sign of disrespect for the organizers.

But after all, the reason why Charlize was not present was very reasonable. Therefore, in the absence of a stronger opponent, Charlize still won this award.

And this Silver Bear Award also added a lot of points to Charlize's Oscar public relations journey.

Although Americans have always looked down on the awards at the three major European film festivals, Venice, Cannes, and Berlin, this is more because they are basically incompatible with the "literary" Europeans.

——Most American films that participate in the three major European film festivals can only be regarded as soy sauce.

——To put it bluntly, "literary" Europeans also look down on overly commercialized American movies.

But once an American movie star or director wins the grand prize at the three major European film festivals, they will immediately be praised by the American media.

——For example, before River Phoenix died, wasn't it because he won the Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival and was praised as an acting genius by the American media?

Even though he has now become the Headless Horseman, Ruifan is still quite proud of his experience back then.

*********

In short, the Silver Bear award gives Charlize a considerable advantage in the Oscar competition.

But her biggest advantage is her growing belly.

You know, in Charlotte's original world, Natalie Portman's ability to win the title of Best Actress had a lot to do with her pregnancy at the time.

——The human world always has more care for pregnant women and children.

Unlike some movie stars who were temporarily pregnant before and after the nomination, Charlize was already quite a month old when she was nominated.

After recent examination, it is more likely that the due date will be a few days before and after the 72nd Academy Awards ceremony.

Although this made Charlotte and Charlize a little worried themselves, it did add a lot of sympathy points.

At least, you can attend less public relations receptions, and you don’t have to drink when you attend.

Of course, it is impossible to win because of this.

Neither Hillary Swank nor Julian Moore will give in.

What's more, although Charlize has some advantages due to various reasons, it has not reached the level of completely suppressing other opponents.

In this case, suspense still exists.

In order to counterattack, in addition to head-on competition, some smear tactics have also begun to appear.

For example, recently, some Hollywood tabloids have begun to report on Charlize's father...

"Sure enough, someone will dig up this matter!"

Charlotte sighed.

To be honest, he has been quite nervous recently.

On the one hand, he has to oversee the post-production of "Sherlock Holmes" while also trying out a game of the same name produced by the studio's game department.

——The game has produced a preliminary internal beta version and is undergoing internal testing and optimization.

——Because a large part of the game's ideas came from Charlotte, so naturally he couldn't let it go completely.

On the other hand, he also needs to manage the daily work of the Spectre studio——

With the popularity of "Death Note" and the acquisition of Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" project, the work of Spectre Studio has become more and more complicated.

What's more, because she owns IMAX, Charlotte has to participate in some of IMAX's decisions.

——These things alone have made his daily life very busy.

What's more, at the same time, he had to follow up on preparations for his wedding to Charlize.

Although most of the work can be outsourced to professionals, as the protagonists of the wedding, he and Charlize still have to be involved in some decisions.

——This is their wedding after all.

In fact, through this period of understanding, Charlotte has realized that the wedding may be a seemingly happy moment, but this "happiness" comes at the expense of countless tediousness and fatigue on the day.

——Even though Charlotte is a rich person, some things need to be done by herself after all.

In fact, as someone who has experienced it, Lao Qiang told Charlotte that many couples’ wedding nights do not have anything that everyone likes to see——

After all, newcomers with average physical strength will be exhausted after a day of hard work and have no energy or interest at all.

What's more, most newlyweds now have experienced it before marriage, and they may also encounter the woman's menstrual cycle...

——In short, the beauty of a wedding largely depends on its appearance.

In order to prepare for this, and as Charlize is a pregnant mother, the check-up period has become shorter and shorter...

"It's really annoying that there are still people making trouble under such circumstances!"

Charlotte, who has been getting a little temperamental due to being busy recently, glanced at Charlize, who was also helpless, and suddenly had an idea.

"Sally, I'll just use the Death Note to kill the troublemakers directly!"
