Chapter 931 Acting Award:
The technical awards have almost been awarded, and the only ones left for Laila's crew are Best Picture and Best Director.
Thinking about Lila's age, and then thinking about the success of "The Lord of the Rings" at this Oscar. Whether it was the guests present or the fans waiting in front of the TV, everyone's hearts were high.
Can she win that award and set a new age record?
Can she set a record of winning ten or even eleven Oscars in one Oscar?
How far will she go?
Right now, no one has an answer to this question. Fortunately, even if you don't think about it, the answer will be revealed.
But before that, there are still the most watched acting awards to be awarded.
People are all animals that love beauty. There are people like Laila who control their appearance, and there are also people who pursue acting skills. No matter which group you belong to, you will all pay attention to the upcoming acting award projects.
The first award was for Best Supporting Actress. Cate Blanchett, Leila's former collaborator, was lucky enough to be nominated for her role in "I'm Not There". Unfortunately, she lost to Tilda Swinton, who contributed her acting skills in "Michael Clayton".
In Laila's view, the reason why Tilda won this award is not that she defeated others in acting, but more in the content of the movie. It can also be said that the role she plays is more likely to be liked by the judges.
Of course, this was all something she was complaining about in her head, and it would be very troublesome if she really wanted to make it known to the public.
But what happened next shocked her so much that she forgot to close her mouth. I don't know if he was too excited or for some reason, but Swinton actually said some very big lines during his acceptance speech.
"Ass" and other words were considered quite elegant words, and some words that must have been silenced during the broadcast were actually spoken by her one after another.
"Oh my god, does she know what she is talking about?" Janet never expected to hear such incredible remarks on such an occasion.
Laila was also obviously speechless: "I think she really doesn't know what she is talking about."
I don't know if she will be ashamed of this speech after she goes back and hand over the trophy that she just got before it was warmed up. Throw it into the trash can.
Apparently the people backstage realized that they couldn't let things continue, so they hurriedly played music to stop her from saying any more inappropriate words.
Fortunately, the people present are basically well-informed people and will not say anything about this matter. But the audience who watched the scene just now in front of the TV is different. They can express their opinions more freely online. You know, this newly crowned Miss Oscar for Best Supporting Actress will have no shortage of topics to talk about tomorrow.
Immediately afterwards, the best supporting actor was taken away by JaVale Barton of "No Country for Old Men". He played a cold killer this time and was praised by countless audiences as a "shocking villain". This is the first time a Spaniard has won an Oscar at the Oscars, and I believe this win has far-reaching significance.
Speaking of "No Country for Old Men", it is really a tragedy. This year's Oscars, their voice is second only to "Lord of the Rings 3", and they have received eight nominations.
In its previous life, the film won four awards including Best Picture and Best Director. However, because of Laila, the winner of the Best Adapted Screenplay that they should have won became Laila. As for whether they will still be the winners of the two most important awards, it depends on God's arrangement.
Finally, the Oscars have come to one of the most watched aspects - the Best Actress, also known as the Oscar-winning actress award.
In the past, a few of Laila's films have always participated in the acting awards, and rarely came away empty-handed. This time it was a coincidence that she became a real spectator, and it also made her feel free and easy to stand on the outside.
The guests on the stage read out the list of candidates one by one. What surprised Laila was that Cate Blanchett, who just missed out on Best Supporting Actress, actually got a Best Actress nomination for another movie "Elizabeth 2" .
Among the five candidates, the one she cares most about is Ellen Page, who played "Juno". This is a very spiritual young actor. Born in 1987, she is only in her early 20s this year, but her role in the movie is deeply memorable.
"Juno" is one, and "Fruit Candy" is also one. Laila has never been able to forget the feeling she had after seeing Fruity Candy for the first time. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old at that time, but she played a girl who was weak in appearance, thoughtful and ruthless, making people's hair stand on end.
Unfortunately, neither of the two people Leila paid attention to won the award. In the end, the crown of Best Actress was taken away by French actress Marion Cotillard.
This was definitely a big upset, beyond the expectations of most people. Even Cotillard himself was so excited that he was speechless several times after taking the stage.
Speaking of which, it's really a pity for Kate. She was nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress for two films at the same time, but she came away empty-handed with a big belly. But it also proves that she has a good eye for scripts. You must know that since she participated in Laila's film and laid a solid foundation, countless scripts have been handed to her.
If she had been short-sighted, she might have chosen commercial films with high salaries to get money. Fortunately, she could always stick to her heart and continue to move forward on her path.
It's not that commercial films are bad, but the heroine's roles in commercial films are basically just a vase, and there is nothing that requires acting skills, let alone improving her acting skills.
Looking at Kate's acting career, you know that she knows exactly what she wants. She is a very smart person and has a smart agent helping her.
Compared to Best Actress, the award for Best Actor has attracted more attention. In Hollywood, it is already known to everyone that male stars at the same level are paid at least twice as much as female stars.
Looking at the films produced, we know that movies with male protagonists are much higher than movies with female protagonists, both at the box office and in other aspects. Audiences of both genders seem to like watching movies with male protagonists. As for female protagonists, there don't seem to be many exciting movies with female protagonists.
Although there are still some, compared with those of the male protagonist, they are so few that they are almost negligible.
Therefore, when it comes to Oscar awards, there are many more viewers who care about the Best Actor than the Best Actress. But I will pay more attention to the best actresses in the future, because the so-called "Oscar Best Actress Curse" has dragged down several best actresses.
Roy leaned into Laila's ear: "This year's best actor should be Lewis."
"Are you so sure?" She was curious. "He played the role of a villain. As far as I know, the villain is unlikely to win that award."
Chapter 932 The Biggest Suspense of This Oscar
"Although that is the case, his performance this time is really outstanding. If he didn't get it, I would be very disappointed with the Oscar. Let's watch it again when we have time. What I watched last time At that time, I felt that I had some insights."
Laila nodded happily: "Okay."
Roy said it very simply, but in fact Lewis's opponent was not that simple. The first is George Clooney, the leading actor in "Michael Clayton". This award-winning actor has always been very popular with judges and audiences.
There is also Johnny Depp, an actor known as a genius. His "Sweeney Todd" will be considered a classic film by many people in the future.
Although the film "Pirates of the Caribbean" that made him famous all over the world was given to Roy by Leila, talented people will never be ignored. He still relied on other films to reach the point of his previous life step by step and firmly.
The guest who presented the Best Actor Award was Helen Mirren, who won Best Actress last year for "The Queen". She walked onto the stage gracefully and read out the names of several candidates in front of everyone's attention.
Then she opened the envelope containing the final results and read the names on it.
"The winner of the Oscar for Best Actor is Daniel Day-Lewis!"
"Wow—" applause burst out.
Sure enough it was him! Roy also stood up and applauded vigorously for his win. It's really not easy to rely on a villain to win the title of Best Actor. You can count the examples in film history on one hand.
Laila also stood up, but his attention was not on the stage, but looking at Roy beside him. His eyes were so bright at this moment that she could see his excitement. She knew that what he envied was not the Best Actor's trophy, after all, he had won one himself, but what he envied was the kind of courage that could overwhelm everyone else with his acting skills.
"You will too. Remember your clown? I believe that by next year's Oscars, your clown will also make everyone remember your performance." She leaned towards his arm and put her arm around him.
Roy was stunned for a moment, then gave her a big smile: "I also think my performance there was great, but is it really possible to surpass him?" "Yes!"
Laila was very sure of this. She shot the footage, edited the material, and she has seen the final product several times. It can be said that she is very clear about everything in the film.
His performance in it was nothing short of miraculous, especially the scene where the hospital was blown up. If it hadn't been for his adaptability, such a big scene would have been in vain, and all the previous efforts would have been wasted. Moreover, he has also exceeded his own limits in interpreting the role. She believes that his performance is more shocking than the original version!
Lewis knelt down on one knee and accepted his trophy from the presenter as if accepting a knighthood from the Queen. This action was firstly because the guest starred in "The Queen" last year, and secondly, it was because he wanted to express his inner excitement.
This is the second time he has won this award, and the last time was in the 1990s. The long-lost trophy made him unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and his red eyes could be clearly seen on the enlarged screen.
There is not much suspense about him winning the award. Although he is a villain, his acting skills have been praised by countless people.
But the next award will be more suspenseful, and even some gambling institutions are hesitant about this award. Whether Laila can win the best director crown has become the biggest suspense at this Oscars!
If you can see the ratings at this time, you will find that the number of people watching the live broadcast is rising rapidly, even to a level that can make the person in charge of the TV station laugh in his dreams.
Too many people want to know whether Leila will win the award. The last time "Chicago" won the best picture but did not give her the best director, many people think that the Oscars are too mean and old-fashioned, and they care too much. Hypocritical things, such as age and qualifications.
Three years later, Laila came to this place again with her "Lord of the Rings". Although she had been nominated for two previous films, everyone knew at that time that it was impossible for the judges to award the trophy to the first two films of a trilogy.
But can the award be given to her for the third film? No one has made such a promise.
Laila, 27, has been creating miracles since she filmed her first film at the age of 18. She has also come through step by step and even has more experience than many big-name directors. Who can stand up and say that her "Lord of the Rings" film is inferior to other films?
Whether it's box office or influence, just talking about the quality of the film can put a distance between it and other competitors. If she still can't win the award, can the Oscars really make people continue to trust her?
Everyone thought she would win the award before, but someone wrote "Ten Reasons Why Laila Can't Win the Award" and it spread widely. The writing above makes so much sense that almost everyone who reads it believes that what is said is likely to happen.
Does that mean she will eventually part ways with the Best Director trophy?
If she still doesn't get the award this time, will she really have the chance to get it before setting a new record?
The answer will be revealed soon!
After reviewing the winning scenes for Best Director over the years, the host invited the award guest Martin Scorsese.
The famous director strode onto the stage amidst applause. Born in 1942, he graduated from the film department of New York University and won the best director crown last year for "The Departed".
"I'm so happy to be here again tonight and honored to have this opportunity to present one, maybe two, of these great artists with the Academy Award for Best Director. Believe me, this award means a lot to the winner. It has a special meaning." He shook his two interesting thick eyebrows and said nervously or excitedly.
"The nominees for the Best Director Award are..."
"Director Julian Schaubel for "Submarine", Jason Reitman for "Juno", Joel for "No Country for Old Men" Cohen and Ethan Coen, Leila Moran, director of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," and Paul Thomas Anderson, director of "There Will Be Blood."
Every time a name is read, the hearts of the guests in the audience and the audience in front of the TV will tremble. Because this award deserves so much attention, it will either create a record in film history, or it will be bombarded by the media tomorrow.
Will the rigid and serious Oscar judges continue to be rigid, or will they replace their decaying bodies with a younger and more lively soul on this 80th anniversary?
Chapter 933 Best Director
"The winner of the Best Director is..." Martin opened the envelope, then raised his head and smiled: "Leila Moran, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King"!" "Ah -"
he
finished. Fall, the scene is already boiling.
Screams, cheers, clapping.
When the camera turned to where Laila was, she could clearly be seen standing up gracefully from her seat, and everyone around her also stood up and hugged her one by one in celebration.
This is an unforgettable historical moment that will also leave a deep mark in film history and Oscar history. Leila Moran, a 27-year-old woman this year, has not only gained the reputation most desired by all directors, but also set a new age record for the Oscar for Best Director as a woman.
In front of the TV, Laila's fans were also completely crazy.
Those loyal fans who have been following her from the beginning, who can almost be said to be the friends who grew up with her, now see her achieving such results, as if they themselves have received the same honor.
"Laila, you did it! You really did it!" Roy picked her up excitedly and spun her around. If someone hadn't been urging Laila to go up to receive the award, he felt that he could have held her like this all night.
He was so happy. When he heard her name spoken from Director Martin's mouth, he seemed to have landed in paradise at that moment. He felt that there was a piece of holy white snow in front of him, and wonderful fairy music was ringing in his ears!
"Thank you, thank you all." Laila first gave Roy a hug, then patted her mother who was secretly wiping her tears. She thanked him and walked towards the stage.
This is the tenth Oscar won by "Lord of the Rings" at this year's Oscars, and the third won by Leila herself! As long as they win one more, they can tie the Oscar record and stand at the top of the Oscars with eleven awards like "Titanic" and "Ben-Hur"!
Laila walked towards the medal podium step by step.
In just this short journey, many images flashed through her mind. There are those in the past life and there are those in this life, there are hardships and there are joys. For this step, she did everything she could, and then she did it!
Yes! She did it!
She didn't know what she said when she took the trophy from Martin, or how she walked to the microphone. She only knew that the heavy trophy in her hand was telling her: You succeeded!
She just saw Giacchino forget to prepare a speech when he accepted the award in the audience. She also thought that guy was too inferior and she needed to give him more training in the future. Only when it was her turn did she realize that it was really possible to make such a childish mistake, because at this time she had completely forgotten the speech she had prepared for a long time.
Taking a deep breath, she smiled.
"Thank you." She first thanked the guests in the audience who cheered for her and gave her applause.
"Today is really a wonderful day. As Director Martin said just now, this award means a lot to me. My childhood may have been boring compared to many of my peers. What I loved most at that time was reading books and Movies. It was also at that time that I realized that movies are such magical things that can create a world. So I began to pay attention to everything about movies." "When I was 18 years old, I woke up from a nightmare that made me wake up from my sleep
. It was made into a movie and achieved good results. I would like to apologize to those who were scared by me, but I also want to thank you for your support, which makes me more confident to go on this road." There was a pause in the audience
. Laughing, didn't her movie "Blair Witch" scare a bunch of people half to death? Even after so many years, I still mention this movie when talking about horror movies. It really left such a deep impression on everyone. Even many years later, another person shot a similar film using the same method, and the results were good, but he finally fell behind her.
Just listen to Laila continue: "I believe that every director will cherish his film like a child. But to make a film, it is not enough to have only a director. I am very fortunate that I have an outstanding team. , each of them has amazing talents. With them, I can give full play to my heart and shoot the movie in my heart."
Her words were echoed by many directors. If you don't have good enough people at your disposal, who can guarantee that the film will turn out the way you want? If the director can write the script himself, the editing director can do it himself, and even the soundtrack director can also have a hand, but it is impossible for the director to do all the lighting, scenery, costumes, etc.?
Leila's words spoke to their hearts, and also moved those who also worked on the film off-camera with her recognition.
Under the attention of countless people, Laila lowered her head and glanced at the heavy statuette in her hand and continued: "Actually, the greatness of "The Lord of the Rings" does not entirely come from my creation, because the original work itself is a great work. It's just about moving it to the big screen. I hope that in the near future, I will stand here again with my own work." "Thank you,
thank you to my family, my fiancé Roy, and the entire company. At the same time, my most sincere thanks go to everyone who has always supported me. Thank you!"
Leila raised the trophy again and walked off the podium with Director Martin.
The applause continued long after she stepped down.
Today is a great day to write home about, both for the Oscars and for film history. The 27-year-old director won the Best Director trophy, which simply blinded countless people's eyes.
You must know that the last time the youngest Best Director Oscar was Norman Taurog in 1931, he has always been the youngest at the age of 32. For decades, this number has been stuck at 32. However, the emergence of Laila not only brought this number significantly ahead of schedule, but even reached 27, a record that is likely to be broken in who knows what year and month.
Many people feel that there may be no chance of being broken at this age. Even the talented and recognized genius Leila took so many years to win the Oscar trophy. Will there really be talents like her appearing in the film industry again in the future?
People hope to take this opportunity to change the rigidity of the Oscars. If it weren't for their obsession with age, shouldn't Laila be awarded the award when she was in "Chicago"? If the Oscars can be more open-minded and fair at that time, the record of the youngest director may be harder to break!
Chapter 934 Best Picture
Before the excitement about Best Director had passed, the host called out the next award presenter - two-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington to unveil the final award.
At this time, the many fans of Laila in front of the TV remembered that it was too early for them to be so happy now. If Laila won the upcoming most important award, they would squander all their excitement together. Not too late.
Will you get that award?
Everyone is looking forward to it, and everyone is unsure. Because "Lord of the Rings" won all the nominated awards, even the most suspenseful award like Best Director was won by Laila. If the best picture was given to her again, wouldn't it tie the Oscar record?
She is only 27 years old, can she really make such brilliant achievements?
Denzel Washington is one of the few black actors to gain a foothold in Hollywood. He has conquered countless movie fans with his superb acting skills. Almost all of the movies he starred in are classics, such as "Training Day," which won him an Oscar. In the movie, he played a policeman walking on the edge of the law, and he became the second black actor in Oscar history.
Wearing a crisp suit, he walked up to the awards podium with a solemn expression: "In the past 79 years, we have received 79 outstanding best films. Now let us look forward to the birth of the 80th film." "The most successful Oscar winner
. The nominees for Best Picture are..."
Because it is the producer who goes on stage to receive the Best Picture award, the name of the producer is also read out when the nomination list is read.
All the films produced solely by Leila were produced by Louise, so this time her name was still pronounced together with "Lord of the Rings".
"The winner of the Oscar is "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," produced by Louise Baker." "
Wow!"
When the final answer was announced, everyone present went crazy. People in front of the TV and watching the live broadcast in other places also went crazy.
Eleven items! They really did it! Leila really did it! It tied the Oscar record and completed a record beautifully, that is, none of the nominations were missed!
The guests stood up and clapped their hands vigorously, watching Louise stand up from the position behind Laila, and walked to the stage with the cheers of the crew.
Today, Louise is wearing a dignified dark blue dress. Even though she is in her fifties, she has not been defeated by the wind and frost of time, and her whole body exudes the mature charm of a woman.
In the camera lens, you can see that her eyes are slightly red, and her slightly messy steps also show that her mood at this time is not as calm as she appears.
She took the trophy from Denzel's hand, thanked her and walked to the microphone: "This is really a great honor and a complete surprise! There are so many people who have worked hard for the birth of this film, especially Tolkien. We have written a great work, and it is an honor for us to be able to shoot it." "
Of course, there is also Leila and her dream team. Without them, this film would not be possible. They are more qualified than me to stand up. People here."
"Thank you very much, thank you Oscar, thank everyone who contributed to this film, and thank you to the fans and fans who love us! Thank you!" After
Louise said this, she raised the trophy amidst applause. , and then stepped off the podium.
Waiting for her was a warm welcome from her colleagues and Laila.
"What you said is great!"
"What a wonderful speech!"
After Louise walked off the stage, the host came on stage to announce the official end of the awards show.
Although the live broadcast is over, the shock that this Oscar brought to everyone will not be eliminated for a while. After watching this awards ceremony, who can still remember that not long ago, the writers' strike dominated the pages of major media?
The happiest and most painful thing is the reporters, who are struggling with what topic to make headlines because there are so many to choose from.
The Best Actress was upset, the villain won the Best Actor, the supporting actress gave an indecent speech, and the supporting actor was a Spaniard who won the Oscar for the first time...
Of course, the most talked about thing was Leila and her "Lord of the Rings". But this topic can also be extended to many topics, such as the movie hitting every target, winning eleven awards and tying the Oscar record in one fell swoop, or Laila breaking the age record for Best Director at the Oscars, and so on.
While the media was working overtime to catch up with the news, Laila had already returned home with the trophy with her name engraved on it.
As we all know, the Oscars are not engraved when they are handed out to the winners because no one knows who will win. The final result requires the guest to open the envelope before it can be revealed.
Therefore, after getting the trophy, you need to go to a specially arranged place to have it engraved on-site before you can take it back.
Laila has gained so much this time, so she is also the one who waits until the end.
But she is willing to wait, even if she is asked to wait a few more hours, as long as the trophy can come to her arms, the wait will be worth it!
After returning home, when Roy returned to the room after washing up, he saw Laila sitting on the bed, playing with the statuette for Best Director he had just received.
"Not tired yet? It's time to rest." He said and sat next to her.
Laila's eyes were a little blurry: "I'm not tired. I don't want to sleep either."
"What's wrong? Are you still happy?" Roy kissed her forehead in a funny way. It was rare to see her with such a silly and cute look, which made his heart melt.
He could feel her mood. When he won the Oscar for Best Actor, he looked even more exaggerated than hers. That was I held the trophy for two or three days without letting go.
Laila shook her head: "I don't know, I just feel empty in my heart."
"Is it because you think you got what you wanted and lost your goal?" When
he said this, Laila suddenly realized: "That seems to be the case. I spent many years to get it, and now I finally got it. I feel There seems to be something missing in my heart."
Roy chuckled: "I have had similar thoughts. In the past, my biggest wish was to take my younger brother to my side and let him go to the best school so that he would never have to be bullied again. Later, when When I really did it, I suddenly felt like I had lost my goal."
"Then how did you solve this problem?" Laila asked curiously.
"It's very simple, just find a more difficult goal to achieve." Roy looked at her with a smile: "Have you really achieved your goal? If I remember correctly, you said you wanted to make A movie originally created by you is standing on that stage again, why have you forgotten it now?"
Chapter 935: Fermentation on the second day.
Have you forgotten? Of course I didn't forget it.
It's just that winning the Oscar for Best Director has been her biggest obsession from her previous life to this life, and it's also the most important stone weighing on her heart. Subconsciously, she had to remove the stone, pass through it, and crush it before she could move forward further.
If she doesn't even get this award, she won't have the confidence to fulfill her ultimate dream - to create an original film by herself and come to this stage again!
"You're right." She nodded, put the trophy on the cabinet beside the bed, then got into the cup, pressed her cheek against his warm chest, and felt the rise and fall of his breathing to calm her down: "I still have more things I want to do. How can I lose my fighting spirit now!"
"Well. Actually, you can relax a little bit." Roy suddenly felt that he might have said something he shouldn't have said. There were too many times when she had forgotten about food and sleep because of work, and he had seen too much when he had time to urge her, not to mention when he was away from filming. He would be happier if she could slow down a little and complete the work without damaging her body.
"Laila, I think..." He wanted to persuade her, but he saw that she was breathing evenly and fell asleep.
"Sure enough, I'm too tired." Roy smiled helplessly and adjusted a more suitable position so that Laila could sleep more comfortably against him.
Not to mention her today, wasn't even herself, an outsider, mentally tense all the time?
He leaned over and kissed her forehead gently, saying good night, my princess.
The two fell into a deep sleep. However, the outside world has entered into a carnival-like excitement because of the topics brought about by the 80th Oscars.
There are so many topics that can be discussed at this Oscar, and many media have used special topics, columns and other special methods to understand and report this Oscar.
When Laila woke up the next day, she went downstairs and saw Roy holding a newspaper and reading it. The above content is very interesting. It tells the news that all the acting awards this time were won by Europeans.
Seeing her leaning over to read the newspaper in his hand, Roy simply made room for her to squeeze into the single-seater sofa with him: "This year's four Oscar acting awards were all won by actors from European countries. ."
Laila took a look and said, isn't it? Best Actor Lewis is British, and Best Actress Gloria is French. The two best supporting actors are Javier Bardem, Spain's first Oscar winner, and British Tilda Swinton.
"It seems that you American actors have to work harder." She smiled and patted his cheek. It hurts your face to have your treasure taken away from you at your doorstep, right?
Roy grabbed her extended hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it: "Then it must have a good film. I'm waiting for you to get me a Best Actor trophy again."
Laila looked at him. , nodded: "Okay."
It sounded like a joke, but Roy could read her seriousness from her expression. He actually said it casually, not to mention that she had just won the Oscar for Best Director at the age of 27. Basically, she would never win it again in recent years. It was not easy to find a script that could win him an Oscar. She didn't want her to tire herself out again because of this decision.
"I'm kidding, you need a good rest instead of throwing yourself into busy work so soon!"
Laila laughed twice and turned the topic back to what she was just talking about: "In recent years, abroad There are more and more actors winning acting awards. Isn't last year's Best Actress Helen Mirren also British? There are also Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe." "Yes, local actors seem to be
really We face too many challengers." Roy sighed. Although in his opinion, American actors are not that bad, it is an indisputable fact that more and more foreigners are taking away the awards.
"Actually, you can change your perspective. The Oscars are becoming more inclusive, becoming more global and more authoritative. This also shows that the awards we receive are more important, right?" Roy smiled: "
You You can always find something positive. Yes, after the Oscar became more authoritative, we picked it up with more energy."
Laila teased him: "You make it sound like you can get it if you want."
"Isn't it?" Roy He raised his eyebrows, and paired with his face that brought disaster to the country and the people, it was really hard to put it down.
At least it made Laila a little bit addicted to it. She held his face and looked left and right, but she couldn't get enough of it. I can't afford to hurt people with facial expressions.
This was not the first time that Roy was looked at like this by her. After being shocked at first, he gradually got used to it and was even a little happy. Isn't it also a kind of liking for her to like her face? He doesn't twist like some people, thinking about whether he likes my face or my insides.
If your face doesn't look good, how many people will notice it no matter how much inside you have? Wouldn't it be better to like your face first, and then make her like more of yourself?
And he knew that she truly loved him, otherwise she wouldn't show her tired side in front of him. A woman like her will only show her truest side in front of people close to her. This is one of the cute things about her. A playboy like Leonardo will never know how lovely Laila, who he sees as terrifying, really is.
Laila opened the newspaper and saw more reports about Oscar, such as Oscar's preference for human nature this time.
Both "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" are films that reveal the dark side, showing the greed, killing and destruction of human nature in the most direct way. Even "Juno" is about the phenomenon of teenage pregnancy.
Several other more decent films, such as "Submarine and Butterfly", basically came away empty-handed.
Laila also found a report about "The Bourne Supremacy" in the corner. There was only a small square, and there wasn't much news about it. That is to say, it received three technical nominations, but it was not included in "The Lord of the Rings". "It is no exaggeration to say that it is desolate to return empty-handed under the crushing force of ". It can only be said that it is too bad luck. If they miss the powerful opponent in "Lord of the Rings", they may get a better opportunity.
Seeing this news, Laila couldn't help but regret for two seconds. In fact, in history, "The Bourne Supremacy 3" really won those three technical awards and was called the "King of Technology." However, because of her appearance, "Lord of the Rings" was born several years later. As a result, it was squeezed into this time and snatched away all the awards that belonged to it.
Not only it, there are a lot of tragic films. The worst thing is the Coen brothers' "There Will Be Blood". They were originally going to win the best director and best picture, but because of Leila's relationship, they could only hold on to one nomination and wait for the next opportunity.
Chapter 936 Valuation
Every news about the Oscars attracts many readers and viewers, but the most topical one is of course Leila winning the Best Director award at the age of 27 and as a woman. , and she created the same results as "Titanic" and "Ben-Hur" - tied for the first place in Oscar film history with eleven awards!
Such an achievement, even those famous directors who have been famous for a long time cannot achieve it, but she actually achieved it! In fact, if you ignore her age and only look at her achievements since her debut, she can be regarded as one of the great directors who has been famous for a long time. And her age and gender make her achievements labeled as great!
No one knows how difficult it is to do this. Oscar has only appeared twice in 80 years. This third time for Laila has a more important meaning, that is, in addition to being a young man, she is also a woman!
It's really not easy for women at the Oscars. Whether they are actors, directors, or other professions, women are ultimately weaker. Just looking at the fact that men's salaries are much higher than women's for the same job and the same qualifications, you can see how difficult it is for women.
It's not that things like this haven't improved. Hollywood has also made progress over the years and is slowly changing the mistakes made by history. But even if it changes, it is unlikely to change too quickly. It may only happen a little bit in a few years or decades.
However, Laila's appearance can be said to have become a catalyst. She allowed Hollywood to see what a woman could accomplish in this male-dominated environment, and was deeply shocked and impressed by the miracles she created.
And at this point, Leila herself has done quite a bit. Not only has she become an iconic figure, but her contribution to changing the status of women can also be felt in her films.
For example, her early work "Kill Bill" was a movie with a female protagonist. At that time, the release of the movie also triggered a wave of craze, allowing Hollywood to once again discover the value of female protagonists, and began to allocate part of its resources to female protagonist movies.
Even in Laila's commercial films, she did not reduce the heroine to a vase. For example, Pepper Potts in "Iron Man" is a wise and calm strong woman.
I believe that after she wins the best director this time, women will further improve in Hollywood.
If you do a little search on the Internet, you will find that overwhelming news about Laila is constantly appearing. On those communication forums and instant messaging software, Laila's name kept popping up. Even outside, friends would discuss a few words about her when they met, as if they were completely out of touch with the world without knowing anything about her.
Here, women are more concerned about her ring.
What kind of ring is it? How many carats are there? How much is it worth? How beautiful do you have to be so that award presenters can't take their eyes away?
The media also released high-definition photos of Laila showing the ring at that time. But after all, it's a bit far away, and the ring is not a particularly eye-catching thing. You can only find its sparkle when it reflects light.
Some media even made a special program around the ring, which immediately attracted many viewers.
When Laila returned to the company, she passed by the secretary's office and saw the girls all gathered in front of a screen. What makes them watch so enthusiastically?
Anyway, it wasn't work time yet, and no one noticed her arrival, so she quietly walked up to see what program had attracted everyone's attention.
It didn't matter. The first thing she saw was an enlarged photo of a hand in the show. The ring on it proved that it was exactly her hand, and it was the hand with the ring on it.
I heard the host on the screen "looking at the pictures and talking", vividly talking about the scene that happened on the Oscar red carpet yesterday, and the way the female guest was stunned when she saw the ring when she was presenting the award to Laila.
Speaking of which, the female guest did have high exposure as she thought. Unfortunately, it was not because she gave Laila the award, but because she was stunned when she looked at the ring. I believe this will happen at some point in the future. Being joked about over and over again, I wonder if this is what she hopes to be "famous"?
The secretaries chattered and talked about what they knew about the ring.
"I was stunned when I first saw the ring BOSS wore. The ring was so beautiful. It was the first time I saw such a big blue diamond!" "I heard it's because the color is the same as
BOSS's eyes, Roy Only then would I buy it and give it to her!"
"Roy is so romantic. If I had such a boyfriend, I would be absolutely happy and die immediately." "I
heard someone on the Internet speculate that the ring is worth at least 10 million. I don't know Roy. How much did it cost?"
In the show, the host specially invited a well-known fashion person to help estimate the value of the ring.
I also knew the fashionista Laila. She had met her mother when she attended some events. She was also a quite famous socialite. It is said that she is a very famous fashion blogger. Because she knows a lot about fashion and luxury goods, she often shows off the various famous brands she buys, so she has many fans.
"Based on this photo, I speculate that the blue diamond must be at least 7 carats, and the quality is very good." After being asked, Caroline confidently expressed her speculation: "I have a similar ring. It's also princess-shaped, so I'm pretty sure it's at least over 7 carats and less than 8 carats." "
Caroline, you have a similar one, so how much does it cost?" the host asked curiously.
Caroline smiled and shook her head: "The value of diamonds is not calculated like this. Blue diamonds themselves are relatively rare, and clear quality like this is even rarer, and judging from the cut, it is at least master-level. If such a one If the ring is auctioned, there is no problem if it sells for 20 million U.S. dollars. And if I meet a competitor who also likes it, I won't be surprised if it sells for more than 30 million U.S. dollars. Because such a big blue diamond is too big It's rare."
The host made a shocked expression: "It's so precious! So can you know which brand this ring is from?"
Caroline showed an uncertain and puzzled expression: "To be honest, I don't know which brand will have such a big blue diamond. You know, no matter which brand it is, if you want to sell it for a good price, you will Publicize the ring, and at least promote it internally, such as contacting potential buyers who are interested in diamonds. But I have not received any information about this ring."
Chapter 937 The Gossip Boss
"Is the design bad?"
"No, I can't say it's not good. Some people like more luxurious ones, and some like more simple ones. In my opinion, this is a ring that suits Moran very well. It fits her impression, capable and full of energy."
The host exclaimed, and then asked: "Then can you guess which company's work it is from the design?"
Caroline spread her hands regretfully: "Major brands Each design has its own characteristics, but unfortunately I can't find a special style from this ring. For example, Italy's Buccellati (Buccellati), its style is the unique 'gold weaving' technique And the ingenious gem inlay is full of rich Renaissance temperament." "
And the French Van? C Leef? &
? There is Tiffany, a symbol of American design, with themes of love and beauty, romance and dreams, full of delicate sensibility, and dreamed of by all women." "Looking at the design of this ring, it doesn't look complicated
. There are no gorgeous embellishments, but you can see a kind of grandeur, a kind of stability and spirituality. I think if this is not the design of a master, it must be a new designer full of talent." Hosted
. People asked in surprise: "That means this ring is probably designed by a new designer?"
"It's very possible. If Roy gets this diamond and wants to give Moran a ring that best suits her, It's normal to choose a designer who understands your design. I'm really curious where he found this designer. He really maximized the perfection of this diamond and designed it into It suits Moran's style best." Caroline seemed to really appreciate the unknown designer, and her appreciation for him could be seen in her words.
The secretaries sitting around the screen watching the show were equally curious.
"If I got such a precious diamond, would I really give it to a new designer to design?"
"Probably not? If I had as much money as Roy, I would definitely give it to the most famous master to design. , how can you give it to a new person? What if the design is broken?" "
It's not like you will just follow the design after it is designed. If the design is not good, you can just find someone else to design it." "
Then it is quite bold to use a new person. Didn't they know each other before?"
Laila listened to their discussion and subconsciously touched the ring on her finger. She remembered what Roy said. Because she liked the design of the previous ring, he would find the designer and let him design the ring regardless of the fact that he was a newcomer with little design experience.
Is Roy really not worried that the diamond is designed to be damaged? You must be worried too, right? But he still did it, which shows that in his heart, as long as it is something she cares about, he will complete it according to her wishes no matter how high the price is.
Thinking of this, Laila's eyes softened. If she could see herself looking like this now, she would be surprised by the gentle look in her eyes and the smile on her lips. It turns out that she also has such an expression, looking like a little woman immersed in love.
Although the show is still going on, the time to go to work is almost here. Laila knew that Demi would appear in the secretary's office on time soon, so she walked quietly towards her office without alerting anyone. And not long after she left, she heard Demi's voice coming in from outside.
"What are you still watching? You can also ask about BOSS's gossip? Go to work!"
Laila could only hear the voice and imagine what the situation was like outside. She saw that her subordinates were watching the program around the computer screen, and it was still It would be a shame if she didn't get angry when talking about her boss's program.
After all these years, Demi is no longer as timid as she was at the beginning. At that time, she would be trembling when speaking in front of her. If her beautiful appearance hadn't caught Laila's eyes, I'm afraid she might have left Hollywood and gone to another place. Are you going to look for life in the city?
Time and opportunity are really amazing. A crossroad can lead to many different endings.
In fact, Laila gave the company a day off today, but the people who got the day off were those departments related to the film. Not only did the administrative department not have a chance to rest, they also had to deal with more work.
For topics such as those brought about by the Oscars, public opinion needs to be guided. The more prosperous it is, the easier it is to attract dirty information. No matter how confident Laila is that she has no so-called dirty information, she can't resist someone's arbitrary fabrication. Once a rumor spreads, if it is not resolved in the shortest possible time, even if it is resolved, some people will remain suspicious.
There is a saying in the East that "no wind makes no waves". If there is no cause, where can the effect come from? However, in fact, there is such a "result". Some people just talk in vain, and you will feel unhappy if you don't mean it.
In addition, taking advantage of the Oscars, the company will also take advantage of the trend to promote it. Although the movie is no longer in theaters, CDs and peripherals are still for sale. Hardcover CDs, Blu-ray CDs, extended CDs...all kinds of CDs have reached a good time for sale.
You must know that the total time of the three movies is only six or seven hours. The CD can completely ignore the running time and put more plots in it, so that you can make more money. This is also the reason why some movies do not do well at the box office when they are released, but their CDs can sell well.
One is the possibility of seeing the director's cut, and the other is the possibility of seeing those plots that were cut to prevent the movie from running out over time. Some movies will also cut some scenes to match the classification. R-rating and NC-17 are completely different. NC-17 determines that children under 17 years old are prohibited from watching, and although the R rating is also a restriction, it is not forbidden for children under 17 years old to watch it if they want to watch it.
Therefore, in order to get more box office, some films will also edit out the clips that affect the rating to meet the screening standards. In this way, the clipped clips will usually be placed on the CD.
After Laila entered the office, the first thing she did was to turn on her computer and check the latest comments on the Internet. There are too many things worthy of discussion at this Oscar. She needs to grasp these situations and find out the direction of public opinion. Fortunately, the people below will have some guidance when they intervene.
The first place she went to was a relatively professional forum that she went to quite often. There was also a die-hard fan of hers, Holden, who often made some pertinent comments and often hit the nail on the head.
As soon as she entered the forum today, she was attracted by a bold post title, which read "The youngest Oscar winner for Best Director: Leila Moran."
Chapter 938 Screaming
When she saw that the person who posted the message was Holden, Laila knew that there must be some praise for herself.
If you are overwhelmed by too much praise, your fighting spirit will easily be lost, so Laila opened the post without hesitation. After all, she is also the youngest person to win the Oscar for Best Director. How can she not resist this temptation? If you really can't resist it, don't you need to practice it even more?
When you open the post, the first thing that appears is the photo of Leila receiving the Best Director trophy from Director Martin.
Holden spoke in a very excited tone about how excited he was when he saw this moment, and all the people below agreed with him.
"I screamed at that time, which scared my boyfriend!"
"Lucky for you, it was your boyfriend who was scared. My mother almost twisted the flesh off my arm because I The baby in the next room was so frightened that he cried."
"Haha, I didn't scream."
"I'm the girlfriend upstairs. I can prove that he didn't scream, but when I screamed, he was so frightened that he dropped to the floor."
Laila saw the many messages and laughed at the words above. It can be seen that even her fans think her winning this award is a surprise.
But Holden didn't think so. He felt that "Lyla deserved to win this award. "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" is the best movie I have ever seen, and it is also the best movie she has made. It is very likely that even she herself It can't be surpassed."
Not only did he write this, he also said why he thought so: "Tolkien's novel itself is great. First of all, it ensures that if there are no problems with the plot arrangement, it will be a good story. I believe no one will doubt Laila's shooting skills. With a good story and a good director, it is normal to shoot such a classic film."
Laila pondered because of his words. Yes, she is now very skilled in making movies. It can be said that if you give her a script, it will be perfect. But if you want to take your work to compete for Oscar awards, you don't just have to make the movie. In that case, you will only win a few technical awards at most.
If she wants to get back on that podium, she needs to have a better story for her to film. Her ability in adapted screenplays has been recognized by the Oscars, but what about original screenplays?
Her biggest wish now is to use her own original script to shoot her own original movie and win the Best Director again with this movie to prove her strength.
But the biggest problem she faces now is not knowing what kind of story she wants to film?
She had written many scripts in her previous life, and in her free time while filming TV series, she wrote and revised them while looking for possible investments. Those are indeed her original works, but if they were shot now, her undefeated reputation would be ended.
The reason is very simple. Those scripts were all written under special circumstances in the previous life. The purpose was not to win awards, but just to find an investment. Therefore, what she writes can be said to be written to cater to the appetite of investors, and then squeeze costs to the limit, hoping to win the favor of investors.
Although her doing this did make her get into the eyes of some people, her path was also not smooth. Either someone took away her script and replaced it with someone else's name, or she didn't even have a chance to let the other party take over the script. turn up. A young director like her has no way to fight with those people, and no one will believe her words. Thanks to her stubborn personality, I would have given up countless times if someone else had encountered her.
But it's different now. She has become the youngest Best Director at the Oscars, and may even still firmly occupy this position for decades, just like the previous Best Director whose record was broken by her.
No matter what she shoots, she will attract the attention of countless people. These people are all over the world. Among them are fans, media people, film critics, and passers-by who are watching the excitement. The attention of these people means that she has to pay attention to her own works. . At the same time, she also needs to bear the honor of the Moran family, and it is impossible for her to act willfully. This means that she must treat the original script with caution. Unless she is absolutely sure, she will never let it be released!
Well, Laila had to admit, she hadn't decided yet what she was going to write about. There were many stories in her mind, but there was no one she particularly liked.
After reading Holden's praise post, Laila read a lot of other people's comments.
Generally speaking, the current public opinion is still favorable to her. It cannot be ruled out that some people deliberately make remarks that are different from others in order to show that they are different, as well as well-hidden anti-fans making trouble in the dark. For the time being, we will see The direction of the wind can still be controlled, which is good news for her. She didn't want to be ruined by some people who fished in troubled waters on this happy day.
There was a knock on the door and Demi walked in from outside.
"BOSS, these are the newspaper clippings I compiled."
"Thank you for your hard work." Laila took the clippings and started reading.
In order to grasp some print media reports as soon as possible, she usually notifies Demi and her secretary's office the day before the important day to sort out all the reports on the matter the next day. This saves her a lot of time reading newspapers. Anyway, there are a lot of girls in the secretary's office, and one person can quickly find out the news that she is interested in in the newspaper by flipping through one copy.
Today's newspapers, or the latest newspapers, Laila needs their help in sorting and summarizing. Unlike public comments on the Internet, regular media reports and the words of professional film critics have greatly inspired her. And she also wanted to know where she would start next.
Demi was already experienced with newspaper clippings. She organized all the stories into several categories: one for Lila, one for "Lord of the Rings", one for the company's other awards, and one for other films. Reports on other winners are clearly listed.
What made her funny was that her ring was also cut out in a separate category. Including speculation on the ring's value, speculation on the brand, and curiosity about the wedding date. I originally thought Demi wasn't that curious, but it turns out she is an ordinary woman.
Laila suddenly thought that Demi seemed to be not young anymore. She seemed to have heard the girls in the secretary's office talking about her having a boyfriend before. Why was there no news about getting married until now? She was 24 or 25 years old when she joined the company, and now 9 years have passed...
In the eyes of Westerners, this age doesn't seem to be that old, and there will be no elders urging marriage. If it were you, you don't seem to want to get married so early, right?
But after thinking about Roy, she decided to focus on the newspaper clipping again, so as not to think too much and let the guy show her a pitiful face.
Chapter 939: Obliteration Success
Judging from the number of newspaper clippings, the reports related to Laila herself are the most numerous. Most of them talk about her winning the best director and breaking the age record, and some of them analyze the number of trophies she has won. It seems that it has never happened before in the history of eye film that one person won three awards at one Oscar.
You must know that this is the Oscars, not those music awards. You can win a bunch of trophies and certificates at the same time, such as best new artist, best album, best single, etc.
To put it simply, she accidentally set a record without realizing it. Laila smiled and found that this feeling was quite comfortable, and she could just do it a few more times. It's a pity that she is not the kind of genius who can't take on a few more jobs to earn a few more trophies.
Laila was very happy to read the reports about herself, because they were basically complimentary words, almost touting her as a once-in-a-century talented director. But how do they know how hard the so-called genius works? Perhaps in their eyes, she is only 27 years old, but considering the time she spent on movies in her previous life, she is considered to be highly qualified.
Is this another explanation of "hard work will definitely pay off"? No wonder religion always makes people cultivate the afterlife and regard the sufferings in this life as the sufferings to create a happy life in the next life.
Laila looked down again and saw many reports about "Lord of the Rings". It is said that it tied the Oscar record and ranked in film history with "Titanic" and "Ben-Hur". It is also said that it is the most profitable trilogy in film history. Even Leila's other money-making series are not rivals, including the "Harry Potter" series, the "Iron Man" series and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. .
Many people are analyzing why the movie is so good, what is so good about it, and why it is so loved by the audience. The final conclusion is that the writing is good, the adaptation by Laila is good, and the filming captures a grand world view and creates another real world. This will make the movie a classic work that makes history.
The intense coverage of Lyra and "The Lord of the Rings" has been going on for days, and the media loves this and is very active in digging up everything related to them. Taking advantage of this trend, the East and New Zealand also took advantage of the opportunity to promote the beautiful scenery of their own countries. Think about the magnificent mountains and rivers that appear in movies. They are not created out of thin air. They are all taken from real real-life scenery!
For a time, the number of tourists in the two countries doubled, especially those scenes that appeared in the movie, there were many more foreigners from all over the world. Their arrival has boosted local tourism and created economic benefits, making many local people who have benefited smile from ear to ear. After learning that it was all because of Laila, she suddenly became the favorite foreigner in both countries.
Of course, Laila also made a fortune by riding on this trend. CDs of "The Lord of the Rings" were sold all over the world, and the peripheral products became the best-selling products in the newly opened peripheral stores.
At this time, a report published in the New York Post stirred up the sand at the bottom of the pond like a big stone thrown into the pond, making the entire water turbid.
The title of the report is very eye-catching - "Molan's success is only because he chose the right works."
The article has two points of view from beginning to end. One of them is that the reason why Laila was able to show off her talents at the Oscars and win so many awards is because she chose the right story.
Is the movie good to watch? That's not Leila's fault, but Tolkien's writing. Any other director would probably have produced something equally wonderful. She just got lucky and got the adaptation rights a few years ago. Otherwise, it is likely that other discerning directors will receive those honors!
Another point of view is that the reason why Laila swept the Oscars and won 11 awards in one fell swoop, tying the Oscar record, has little to do with her filming. It just accumulated the energy of three films. Everyone puts one movie into the competition, but you have three movies. Is it fair to say that three vs. one is fair? Coincidentally, the box office performance was pretty good, which made everyone think that this movie was really good enough to rank first in film history.
The article concluded with a disdainful tone: "Using this 'crooked' way to win an Oscar, do you really think it can be compared with the other two movies? Let's not mention "Ben-Hur" for now, after all, the situation at that time It's still a little different from now. But don't forget that "Titanic" is really standing at the top of the box office list in film history, and it is a movie!" In short, the entire article is accusing Leila of "excessive", They think she is someone who has stolen honors from other films through "crooked ways" and undermined the fairness of the Oscars.
Needless to say, many people actually believe this view.
Yes, Tolkien's book is a great Western work, so it's normal for the movie to be better, right? If you take a bad photo, you're wasting a good thing.
Moreover, it seems that Leila used "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" to participate in the competition, but everyone knows that the glory of the first two parts will definitely affect the judges' evaluation of the third part. The most likely thing is to put all the guilt for the first two films on the third film, which is why the film can win so many awards at once.
The intentions of this report by the New York Post are very sinister. The former point negates the film's excellence and attributes the film's achievement to Tolkien. The second point refutes Laila's success, attributing the reason why she won so many awards to the fact that the movie is a trilogy.
It cannot be denied that these two factors did contribute to this success, but it would be too biased to reject all efforts made by Laila.
If it were that easy to adapt, there wouldn't be so many bad movies based on novels. If the trilogy can really accumulate energy, why has no previous film achieved the same amazing results as "The Lord of the Rings"?
The New York Post used the method of substituting concepts to erase all of Laila's efforts in the film. The scary thing is that many people were convinced by their remarks and thought that might be the case. If you really think so, Laila doesn't seem to be that powerful!
Laila received a notification almost as soon as the report came out, telling her that such a report had been published. Murkdo and the Moran family were originally rivals. If the other families didn't dare to say anything, as long as they could get benefits, they would throw it at Laila unceremoniously.
Cooper used to be the anti-Leila vanguard of the New York Post, but since he disappeared from the Post, almost no one has seen him write similar articles. But the most important thing for a newspaper like theirs is to have some capable reporters at their disposal, and any one of them can write things as if they are true.
Chapter 940 Taking advantage of his illness to kill him
Seeing that something was wrong with the direction of public opinion, the company's public relations department immediately took action and formulated a series of measures to deal with it.
First of all, we must change some of the negative comments generated by the report. At this time, the troll army that Laila has cultivated can go online. They don't necessarily need to go out of their way to brag for Leila, as long as they let people see the New York Post's sinister intentions, it's their victory.
You must fight back next. Being bullied by your opponent is not something worth celebrating.
Who is Laila? She is the heir of the Moran family confirmed by Mr. Moran himself. Wouldn't taking action against her be equivalent to a heavy blow to the Moran family? Neither Laila nor Mr. Osvid would settle down after learning about this matter.
When others thought that Laila would be very angry and came to comfort her, she herself said that she would not take this little thing to heart at all.
"In any case, the Oscar has passed, and the result is too clear. Even if it is tied with the other two films, I still got the title of No. 1 Oscar. Those who are not convinced can also learn from me. Find a popular novel, make a trilogy, and see how high it can be in film history."
Her indifference left those who comforted her speechless, mainly because what she said was so reasonable. You said that I used a good story and a trilogy to get those awards, so you should also find a good story and make a trilogy to defeat me.
The history of literature is much longer than that of movies. Over the years, countless excellent books have become classics. The copyright for Tolkien's works is gone, but there are always others, right? There are so many good writers, are you still worried that you won't be able to discover other classics?
"I always feel that the New York Post is not easy to hack you this time. Although Cooper was in the Post when he hacked you before, they were just publishing other people's reports, but this time they are standing in the position of the newspaper. They are sniping at you. Did you offend them?"
Roy read the report many times before coming to this conclusion. As he said, newspapers in the past only served as a channel for Cooper to vent. They would always include a disclaimer at the end of the report such as "The views belong to the author's own and the newspaper does not bear any responsibility." But this time it was a real sword and a real gun that he used.
Laila felt that she had not dug their ancestral graves, so why did she fire at her so enthusiastically?
"I'm so busy, how can I still have time to offend them? But even if we don't offend our two families, they are still competitors. Secretly, you and I have fought countless wars. It doesn't seem strange to do this again. "That's what she said. In fact, she also smelled something like "I can't live, and I won't make it easy for you" in the report.
But after much deliberation, she couldn't figure out what she had done to make the other party adopt such an attitude. As she said herself, in order to cooperate with the promotion of Nolan and "The Dark Knight", she also had to arrange for the crew to meet with Leonardo to prepare for the new movie. How can she have the time in the United States to fight with a newspaper?
Roy thought of another possibility: "What if there is a conflict not with the Post, but with a place closely related to the Post?" "A
place closely related to the Post?" Laila frowned: "No. Yes, I don't know where I have a close relationship with them. I only know that they are a newspaper under Murdoch." "The
relationship between Murdoch and grandpa has never been good. Maybe this is just a routine trouble." Roy couldn't think of anything. Perhaps, this can only be attributed to the long-standing competitive relationship between the two companies.
It doesn't seem impossible that the other party can't gain much benefit from the old man, so he will turn to Laila, the future heir, to find some face. It's just a fight between parents on both sides, and if the parent can't beat the other parent, he takes it out on the child. This is really dirty.
After hearing the three words "Murdoch", Laila was suddenly stunned: "I seem to know the reason." "What?"
"Maybe NBC has grown too fast and squeezed out his FOX. Come on." Laila smiled evilly.
When she was acting president, she spent a lot of time reorganizing NBC, including producing some gatherings, some reality shows, and some good programs. After a series of actions, the most intuitive thing is that the TV station's ratings have been rising steadily, rising to a jaw-dropping position, and even occupying the ratings champion for many time periods.
When the old man bought NBC, its performance was incomparable to FOX, and it was just a place that was barely making ends meet. But after Laila repeatedly delivered high-quality blood, the TV station began to regain its vitality.
Then when Laila was the acting president, she "accidentally" created some good programs, including those that will be more popular in FOX in the future. You can guess what happens next, that is, FOX is getting worse and worse, and FOX is getting worse and worse. Competitor NBC is becoming more and more prosperous. With such a contrast, how could Murdoch, who had been fighting with Mr. Moran his whole life, swallow this sigh of relief.
The people at the top were unhappy, so the people below were naturally thinking about how to help the boss feel better. It just so happened that Laila made such a big fuss at the Oscars, so she naturally became the focus of some people's attention. black! This must be dark! Going directly from heaven to hell is the best way to relieve your anger.
Although they also know that their remarks are a joke in the eyes of smart people, there are not so many smart people, right? Anyone who can fool anyone is a winner. As long as Laila has one less fan, they will all make a profit!
To put it simply, this report is just a little trick by the people below to vent their anger on their bosses.
Laila just didn't expect it for the moment, and she would know what was going on when she figured it out. But whether Murdoch knew about this or not, she had to make a gesture. You can't let others bully you and laugh it off as a joke.
So what she did was to write a few more plans overnight and send them to NBC. Since FOX's ratings were at record lows, let them get even lower. If the other party's series still has some ratings, she will ask NBC to launch more attractive programs or series that will become popular in the future at that time.
How wonderful it would be to kill him while he was sick, right?
As for Laila's way of revenge, Mr. Oswald said, "It's very good, it's very relieving."
