There were originally two movies used by Fireflies to make the Olympics this year, "Night Visit to Vampire" and "Pulp Novel".￥f,

However, after the Oscar nomination was released, Eric discovered that although "Night Visit Vampire" had a good industry review and the box office also made Fireflies a lot of money, vampire movies were not loved by Oscar judges, and although Fireflies did a lot of work for the Oscar public relations of this movie, they ended up only getting irrelevant nominations such as best makeup and best sound effects.

In the end, the heavy responsibility of Fireflies to attack the Oscars fell on "Pulp Novel".

Although Eric joked with Kapoor that he might fall asleep at the awards ceremony, the Oscars are often teased too long. However, except for those elderly and poor energy, most people find it difficult to feel distressed in the tense and hot atmosphere of the Oscars ceremony.

I have to say that it is quite interesting to watch this award ceremony that is completely different from the original time and space.

The original "Schindler's List" was one year ahead of schedule. In addition to "Pulp Novel", there are also several popular nominations this year, including "In the Name of Father", "Piano Farewell", "The Intersection of Life", etc. Eric also unexpectedly discovered that two Chinese-language films appeared at the same time in the movies that were shortlisted for the Best Foreign Language Film this year, one called "Wedding Banquet" and the other called "Farewell My Concubine", but the Best Foreign Language Film Award eventually fell on "The Beautiful Era" where Penelope participated.

In addition, Eric also noticed that Jane Campen, who won the Best Director nomination for "Piano Love", was nominated for "Piano Don't Love", a female director from Australia, stopped at one nomination without any suspense. Although she had not learned in detail, Eric also knew that there were very few women nominated for Best Director in Oscar history, and it should not have been in the past decade. This will be a big variable for next year's Oscar Best Director. If Catherine was nominated for Best Director again as a woman with "Save Private Ryan", then Oscar judges would probably have to consider the risk of ignoring the ethics of female directors for two consecutive years.

After winning nothing in the competition for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, Quentin also lost without any suspense to Ultraman Robert of "The Intersection of Life", in the competition for Best Director. Ultraman Robert, who is good at shooting Masaji satirical films, has been nominated for Best Director three times before. Although he lost to Steven Spielberg in the original time and space, this time, no one can guide the Oscars of this veteran director.

When Ultraman Robert and award presenter Clint Eastwood left the stage, Eric, who was standing in the backstage, had a premonition that this year, "Pulp Novel" may still win one Best Original Screenplay Award, but Eric doesn't care about this. As long as "Pulp Novel" gets enough box office.

Hearing the newspaperman shouting his name, Eric walked towards the stage with the envelope containing the best video results. As soon as he appeared, there was a very warm applause from the stage.

Eric walked to the microphone with a smile. He thought the applause would fall, but he didn't expect that the applause from the audience would not only show signs of stopping, but instead became more and more enthusiastic.

The Oscars are actually a gathering where everyone supports each other. As the host joked at an award ceremony, a game where a group of millionaires present awards to each other. Eric has become increasingly famous and powerful in Hollywood in recent years, and it is not too surprising to receive such treatment.

The applause rang for half a minute before Eric pressed his hands and glanced at the audience. He smiled and said, "Actually, when I received the invitation from this award presenter, I was very frightened."

Although there was no obvious laughter in this sentence, there was still a chuckle in the audience.

"I always feel that such an important award is at least 60 years old to be a guest. However, the director immediately refuted me and said, "You have finished all the things that others can only do until they are eighty years old and can go to the awards, so I came up."

Accompanied by the laughter from the audience, Eric said seriously: "But don't expect anything, even if this award is awarded by me, the Little Gold Man will definitely not be pure gold."

The audience knew that this was Eric's joke about his personal wealth, so another burst of laughter rang out. Eric cleared his throat and said, "Of course. The best film represents an honor, which is the recognition of the value of a film by more than 6,000 professional judges of the college. This is definitely not something that money can replace. So, let's take a look at what excellent nomination videos are available this year."

After Eric said that, he signaled to the screen and walked to the side.

The edited clips of the five nominated films, "Pulp Novel", "The Intersection of Life", "Farewell to the Piano", "In the Name of Father" and "Farewell to the Heaven of Love" appeared on the screen one by one.

Eric looked at the clips of these videos and wasn't sure who would win the best video this year.

Compared with the awards such as Best Director and Best Actor, the Best Film was unanimously selected by more than 6,000 judges from various judges, which means that the ownership of the Best Film can be reflected to a certain extent in the previous Best Director and Best Actor and Leader. If a film wins more important awards, then the movie can basically be said to be locked in the Best Film.

But this year is a complete Oscar New Year, and no film is the winner that everyone hopes for. The best director gave Robert Ultraman in "The Intersection of Life", the best actor for Daniel Day Lewis in "In the Name of Father", the best actress belongs to Holly Hunter in "The Piano", the best original script was taken away by "Pulp Novel", and the best supporting role belongs to different films. The largest number of judges made completely different choices. It seems that the result of the best film depends on the strength of private public relations.

Although I don’t know who the flowers are falling, Eric is sure that after this year’s Oscar, media comments are definitely much more lively than before.

After the introduction of the five videos was over, Eric walked to the microphone again, opened the envelope in his hand and glanced, glanced at the audience, and quickly found the place of a crew, and then his eyes couldn't help but narrowed, because he saw two acquaintances around the crew, Elizabeth in a white dress and a fat man named Weinstein.

Because of Eric's brief hesitation, everyone in the Los Angeles music hall looked at Eric's gaze, and someone even made a soft talk.

Eric quickly retracted his mind and said, "Then, the best Oscar of 1993 will belong to "Piano Farewell", Jane Chapman."

As the applause rang out, a short-haired woman in her forties stood up from the crew of "Don't Love in the Piano", hugged the others one by one, and then walked towards the stage with excitement on her face.

"Congratulations. Ms. Chapman," Eric's Little Golden Man handed it to the other party, hugged him politely, and then made him aside.

While Jane Chapman was giving his award speech, Eric, who was standing next to him, looked down at the stage again. The Oscar Best Picture in this era has not yet been on stage like later, and the crew of "Don't Love in Piano" is still sitting in its original place.

Noting Eric's gaze, Harvey Weinstein nodded politely at him, while Elizabeth raised her chin with a little smugness, stretched out her fingers and drew the letter "c" in front of her. Then she clenched her fists and suddenly spread them open, making a symbolic gesture of destruction.

Even if Elizabeth doesn't make these tips, Eric can guess the intention of this girl. Jane Campen's female identity is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Without Robert Ultraman, who has accumulated several Oscar nominations, with Weinstein's public opinion manipulation and award PR skills, coupled with News Group's huge media support, Jane Campen may really be the first female director to win the Oscar for Best Director.

But because of Robert Ultraman, Weinstein knew that he had little hope of winning the best director, so he turned to the best PR film and successfully released a female producer. This is obviously paving the way for next year's "Brave Heart".

In this way, if Catherine is nominated for Best Director next year for "Save Private Ryan", the Academy will have enough reason to distinguish it. Since they awarded such an important award for Best Picture to a woman this year, the media will have no reason to accuse them of gender discrimination.

Since he has decided to support Elizabeth in his heart and has specially promoted Fox to acquire Miramax, Eric will certainly not be angry about the girl's tricks. Anyway, no matter who will become the big winner next year or "Brave Heart" and "Save Private Ryan", in Eric's opinion, it is just a difference between left and right hands, otherwise Eric will not postpone the production of "Forrest Gump" by one year. What's more, compared with "Save Private Ryan", "Brave Heart" obviously needs more awards to recover more profits.

Eric originally planned to go back to rest immediately after the award ceremony, but when he thought of "Forrest Gump", Tom Hanks also attended the award ceremony, Eric planned to talk about this with Hanks first. As everyone left the Los Angeles Music Center and headed to the "Vanity Fair" Oscar Dinner at the Hilton Hotel. Although Eric had changed Hollywood history, the Vanity Fair party still appeared on time, but Eric had not been able to attend in recent years.

In the lively party hall, Eric and Hanks came to a quiet corner and briefly introduced the plot of "Forrest Gump" to Hanks.

Hanks listened to Eric's analysis of the plot intently and nodded, "Eric, since it is the script you are interested in, of course there is no problem. I will ask my agent to turn off all those invitations tomorrow. Well, this story sounds very interesting, maybe I should find the original work to read it."

Eric shook his head quickly and said, "The original story is a somewhat absurd satirical novel. I don't recommend you read it before you see the script. Because I plan to adapt it into an inspirational film that shows the history of the United States from the 1950s to 1970s. The protagonist Forrest Gump represents a simple and sincere attitude towards life. If you read the original work in advance, it may have a bad impact on entering the role. People's first impression prejudice is very serious."

"Okay, just inform me when the video will start to be produced," Hanks nodded with a smile, saying that as for pay and other things, of course he and Eric don't have to negotiate in person. These things are usually left to the producer and Hanks' agent for negotiation now.

The two chatted casually and separated. Eric greeted some acquaintances and casually dealt with several guests who came forward to chat with him. Seeing Penelope and Kate, they planned to secretly leave the party with the two girls in advance. However, just as they were about to walk towards the two girls, Elizabeth came over with a group of people from the crew of "Don't Love the Piano".

"Eric, this is Ms. Jane Campen, and Ms. Jane Chapman..."

Eric smiled and shook hands with the other party one by one. Everyone knew about Elizabeth and Eric. After saying hello, they became familiar with each other and then they all dispersed.

After the crowd dispersed, Elizabeth asked, "Why ignore me? You won't be really angry?"

Eric smiled and said, "Looking at you being surrounded by a group of people, I'm afraid to come up and block your light."

Elizabeth snorted softly, but realizing that Eric didn't mean to be angry, she felt relieved and asked, "What are you talking about with Tom Hanks just now?"

"A movie, I plan to let him play the leading role, say hello in advance," Eric did not mean to postpone the production of Forrest Gump to seek credit for the girl. He said simply, noticed that Penelope and Kate looked at him, so he gestured to the two girls, signaling them to wait outside for him.

Elizabeth followed Eric's gaze and noticed the two girls' backs leaving, and teased in a sour tone: "These two seem to be the heroines of "Charlie's Angels", why don't you get the three girls into bed together?"

Eric smiled and said, "I'm so busy that I only got two, and the rest was left to take my time."

"Just do it all," Elizabeth gently kicked Eric's leg to show his dissatisfaction, and remembered something, and said, "When will you take it out if you say you want to prepare the script for Julia?"

"At least, let's talk about it when things are over in New York," Eric put the goblet in his hand in the tray of the passing waiter, leaned over and kissed Elizabeth on the face, and whispered: "If there is nothing else, I'll leave first. I haven't had a good sleep for a whole week."
