Chapter 746: Repeated defeats

"Congratulations, Ronan."
　　
　　 At some previous parties, Martin Scorsese and Ronan also met: "Tonight, you and Relativity Entertainment are the biggest winners."
　　
　　 Ronan said modestly: "Good luck, the film just fits the social environment."
　　
　　 Martin Scorsese said: "The operation of the two films "Crash" and "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" cannot be explained by luck."
　　
　　 Ronan didn’t feel humble anymore. Instead, he said,
Martin, I’m here, mainly because I want to talk to you.

　　
　　 Standing on the opposite side are the big figures who have risen in Hollywood in the past two years, and they are also one of the most powerful people in this circle. Martin Scorsese has never had the idea of ​​showing off as a winner.
　　
　　 Martin Scorsese lowered his glasses: "Please speak."
　　
　　 Ronan stopped going in circles, and said directly: "Martin, do you know if you are still interested in Oscars?"
　　
　　 Both of them are insiders. Martin Scorsese doesn’t need to deny it, saying:
I’m getting older and I may retire soon. I am determined to win the best director or best film award.

　　
　　 As one of the four major directors in the 1980s, Martin Scorsese has the strength to conform to his confidence.
　　
　　 "Relativity Entertainment has a new project." Ronan said slowly: "Will Smith and Tom Cruise have already confirmed the two main characters..."
　　
　　 Hearing these two people, Martin Scorsese is a little moved. Good actors want to cooperate with good directors, and good directors also want to cooperate with good actors.
　　
　　 Ronan continued: "The subject matter of the movie is the gangster movie you are best at."
　　
　　 "Gangster movies?" Martin Scorsese is quite questionable: "Ronan, Oscar has always paid no attention to gangster movies."
　　
　　 This is his experience and lessons over the past two decades.
　　
Ronan said calmly: "The Oscars are also constantly changing. If you put it in the past, will Will get the best actor?" He simply said: "Martin, from my personal point of view, the Oscar will definitely give you the corresponding The four directors of the year, George retired from the directors’ union and no longer qualified for the Oscar selection. Steven and Francis had already won the best director and best picture."
　　
　　 Martin Scorsese was silent. The three old buddies of the year, George Lucas, were not here. Steven Spielberg and Francis Coppola not only won the Oscar for Best Director, but also more than once.
　　
　　 Looking at himself, he is still struggling on the road to Austria.
　　
Ronan’s point of view is that Martin Scorsese has the qualifications, ability and connections, as well as a large number of outstanding works. Oscar will definitely recognize him, even if the film is not "Infinite Walker", there will still be other works. Awarded.
　　
　　 But there is a prerequisite, it can't be as ugly as "Aviator".
　　
　　 This Howard Hughes biographical film is not like a film directed by Martin Scorsese.
　　
　　 In other words, "The Aviator" is not only not Martin Scorsese's best work, it is even lower than his average.
　　
　　 If it is not for proper public relations, it is difficult to say whether this film can be nominated for an Oscar.
　　
　　 "My personal opinion." Ronan said again: "The Oscar judges are just waiting for a suitable opportunity. So, Martin, you might as well shoot what you do best."
　　
　　 Martin Scorsese frowned slightly: "If others say that to me, I absolutely don't believe it. But you, Ronan...Your eyes make me hesitate."
　　
　　 Ronan laughed: "Think carefully, Martin. If you are interested, you can contact Shahai Entertainment to first look at the subject matter and script of the project, and then talk about others."
　　
　　 Martin Scorsese nodded: "I will consider it carefully."
　　
　　 "Right, there is one more thing." Ronan said in advance: "This project is for the 79th Oscar. The overall budget of the project is limited, and the salary may not be very high."
　　
　　 "I understand." This is not the first time Martin Scorsese has made an independent award-winning film.
　　
Having said that, Ronan has basically achieved his goal. Anyway, what should be said has already been said. If Martin Scorsese is willing to direct, let Shahai Entertainment start negotiations. If he does not respond later, then find another director. .
　　
　　 The party is still going on, and Oscar’s gift packages are being delivered.
　　
　　 This is also a routine comfort project every year, and it can also be regarded as a reward for the support of guests and nominees.
　　
　　 As the top gluttonous feast of the movie, Oscar has a very real performance in comforting the frustrated.
　　
　　 As we all know, although Oscars have dozens of big and small awards, after all, only a small number of them can get the little golden man. There are still more than 80% of the nominees who will be disappointed.
　　
　　 Presenting big gift packages to the stars after the Oscars ceremony is already a traditional Oscar consolation prize.
　　
　　 All gifts will be placed in a specific package. On the outside of the package, the unsuccessful person will also read a particularly sensational message, to the effect that not getting the prize does not prove that you are not strong, and the Oscar has no losers.
　　
　　Of course, these expensive fees are not covered by the film academy.
　　
Before the award ceremony, the college will hold a "tender meeting". Advertisers who fail to invest in clothes and TV commercials will not miss this opportunity. They will naturally vie for sponsors of the "big gift package". .
　　
　　 Stars at the forefront of fashion get free gifts, and advertising sponsors also take the opportunity to increase brand awareness, which is also a win-win situation!
　　
　　 Just like Ronan once participated in some school sports meets, the poorly ranked class will get a fairness award or spiritual civilization award.
　　
　　 When I was young, I thought it was good to have a prize. I didn’t know until many years later that it was a consolation prize.
　　
　　 Once a movie fan on the Internet said something like this, Leonardo took a super gift package for more than ten years, how torment in his heart?
　　
　　 It is estimated that the average human body will not be able to. Maybe Martin Scorsese can understand Leonardo?
　　
　　 The total value of this year's gift package reached 50,000 U.S. dollars. After Ronan got it, he gave it to his assistant Connie as usual.
　　
　　 Scarlett Johansson also gave her gift bag to his assistant.
　　
　　 The two left the banquet hall tacitly one after another. Ronan had already asked Connie to open a presidential suite with a special elevator in the hotel.
　　
　　 Walking into the elevator, Scarlett Johansson was full of surprises: "This is the first elevator we used!"
　　
　　 Ronan said, "This is a revisit to the old place."
　　
　　 Scarlett Johansson winked her eyes: "Do you want to see a tattoo."
　　
　　 Ronan put his arms around his chest, leaning on the elevator: "I'm waiting to appreciate it."
　　
　　 Soon, he discovered that Scarlett Johansson had a horse tattooed on the back hip!
　　
　　 "Why do you want to get a horse tattoo?" Ronan asked.
　　
　　 Scarlett Johansson gave a very unexpected answer: "Recently, I heard that you often go horse riding, so you have the feeling of riding a horse."
　　
　　 Riding a horse is not like driving a car and leaving with gas, and stopping when you brake.
　　
　　 The horse can feel whether you can ride, and if you find that you can’t ride, it will laugh at you, bully you, refuse to listen to you, and even turn over and ride you as a horse.
　　
　　 Therefore, as a rider, you must have excellent riding skills.
　　
　　 Oscar night, a sleepless night.
　　
　　 This night, I don’t know how many people slept on something that didn’t belong to me.
　　
　　 After the dawn of the day, the Oscar news wiped out all the scandals.
　　
　　 "Relativity Entertainment, the biggest winner of the 77th Oscar Awards!"
　　
　　 There are many news like this.
　　
　　 But more is to help Martin Scorsese grievances, and most of the grievances of the media, before the awards ceremony, no one thought that Martin Scorsese could get the best director of the Golden Man.
　　
　　Even, many of them also criticized Martin Scorsese's ugly appearance and "Aviator" for nothing.
　　
　　 This is the entertainment media, which always pursues news sensational effects.
　　
　　 So, Martin Scorsese, who had been criticized and belittled by the media before the awards ceremony, began to receive praise.
　　
　　For example, "Hollywood Reporter", before blaming Martin Scorsese for giving up his personal care and social analysis, choosing the flashy Vanity Fair and the unattainable dream chaser theme was a betrayal of himself!
　　
　　 But after the awards ceremony, he praised old Martin like this: a truly outstanding director, a truly outstanding master, and a truly uncrowned king.
　　
　　 No matter from which way it is said, truth always occupies the side of public opinion.
　　
There is also the "New York Times": Maybe Martin Scorsese will not get a golden figure in the end, but can only be the same as his predecessor Alfred Hitchcock~EbookFREE.me~ It's nothing. Holding a lifetime award in his hand, he said a senseless "thank you" to the judges who were equally embarrassed. But fortunately for us, the giant will not sink because of this. Martin Scorsese walked into the relativity edifice, ready to cooperate with Shahai Entertainment in a brand new movie!
　　
Only three days after the end of the 77th Oscars, Martin Scorsese, accompanied by his manager, came to Shahai Entertainment, talked with George Clint for two hours, and then took it away I wrote the script and project book of "Infinite Walker".
　　
　　 The failure of "Aviator" is far from knocking down Martin Scorsese, the veteran director's Oscar road can be described in that sentence-repeated defeats, repeated defeats.
　　
　　 Perhaps it is not appropriate to describe Martin Scorsese in the words of a footballer on the other side of the Pacific. The sentence is more artistic: the martyrs are in their twilight years, and they are very strong.
　　
　　 Not long after Martin Scorsese got the script, he personally called Ronan. He was interested in the script and the story, but he had to meet the original author and the two protagonists in person before he decided to answer.
　　
　　 This is also the director's responsible approach. Once a film project invests tens of millions of dollars, it is a complex and large-scale project. We must pay attention and be cautious.
　　
Ronan called Tom Cruise and Will Smith, asked their agent to coordinate the meeting time with Martin Scorsese's manager, and asked George Clint to contact Andrew in Port City. Liu et al. The latest chapter of the best entertainment era is here:
