Chapter 420 Attack each other
Harvey began to look squarely at Cheng Yuan, a Chinese.

He only had one Oscar last year, "Winter's Bone", and he didn't care much about the film himself. He didn't pay much attention to public relations, and was picked by a big film company's "The King's Speech". He doesn't think Cheng Yu'an is a worthy opponent, because he also knows that Cheng Yu'an's work focuses on the country.

But this year is different. Cheng Yu'an came with his first foreign-language film "Hunting". Outpost and "The Artist" were inseparable, and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director.

Harvey is regarded as the biggest opponent this year.

After the Golden Globe Awards, Harvey began to attack "The Hunt" - to discredit Cheng Yu'an himself.

But Cheng Yu'an has very little gossip, he doesn't like to go to banquets and parties, and he doesn't mess with men and women - Harvey himself is not a good bird, and he won't discredit Cheng Yu'an on this.

The key point is that a big film company has an explosive reputation in the independent film industry. Many newcomers and independent producers like to cooperate with a big film company.

Harvey really didn't find any black material about Cheng Yu'an.

Got it!

Cheng Yu'an once played Oscar's graphic live broadcast for 10 years, in order to popularize the history of Oscars for the audience, and belittled the gold content of Oscars: "The full name of the Oscars is the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards, and it is just an American film award. It can’t compare to the three major European companies.”

You are a direct descendant of Venice, and you look down on Oscar, so that's easy.

Harvey mobilized his own public relations team, catching Cheng Yu'an's disrespect for Oscar to the core:
"Of course Cheng is a talented director, but he once publicly belittled the Oscars in a program in China. He denied the original intention of the Oscars to encourage outstanding film artists all over the world, and believed that the Oscars were just a regional film award in the United States. European Film Festival.

"This is the greatest disrespect to the nearly century-old Oscar."

In the media, the screenshots of the graphic live broadcast were posted very "thoughtfully" at that time, and they were also translated into English.

Would Cheng Lingfeng be afraid of this?
"The person who has the most disrespect for the Oscars is Harvey himself, who used the media to discredit his competitors and even bribed the judges.

"Hollywood's patience with Harvey has reached its limit. He has manipulated the Oscars for 20 years by using money offensives and bottomless smears. Now the outside world says that Harvey can decide the ownership of Oscars, calling him 'the big boss behind the Oscars' '."

And take the Oscar in 99 as an example.

"Saving Private Ryan" and "Life is Beautiful", two films that are enough to be included in the history of world cinema, why did they lose to "Shakespeare in Love".

Cate Blanchett and Emily Watson lost out to Gwyneth Paltrow in what could have been a perfect performance.

A big film company also explained in detail how Harvey discredited "Saving Private Ryan": "During the critical period of voting, he hired sailors and film critics to discredit "Ryan", and mobilized British veterans to criticize the opening of the film on Omaha Beach. The scenes are not portrayed realistically - if everything is filmed as it is, why don't people go to the museum and watch the documentary?"

""Shakespeare in Love" won the best picture in a surprise, and Spielberg was so angry that Harvey refused to participate in the Oscars that year."

"He also used the same method on the 75th Oscars. Harvey once again mobilized the film critics he supported to attack Polanski's personal life."

"The most unbearable thing is his shameless attack on "A Beautiful Mind". At one time, he said that the film deliberately concealed the homosexuality of the protagonist Nash, and at the same time, he said that Nash was "anti-Semitic". Considering that Jews are in Hollywood, and even Harvey's 'distortion of the facts' is particularly vicious, given the powerful influence throughout the United States."

"However, 'A Beautiful Mind' withstood the test and won best picture. Harvey had to call 'A Beautiful Mind' to Universal Pictures to apologize. That's enough to confirm that it was a 'black PR'. "

A major film company and Miramax wantonly attack each other, but neither seems to be stepping up to mediate.

In fact, as one major film company put it: "Hollywood has reached the limit of its patience with Harvey."

From the perspective of God, "The Artist" is Harvey's last highlight. Many people, including the Oscar judges, really can't tolerate Harvey playing with Oscar as in previous years.

After "The Artist", Harvey's series of award-winning films all failed, except for a big cousin, he had nothing to gain.

Just to mention, "The Silver Lining Behind the Dark Clouds" by the big cousin is really not very good, it is also a politically correct film that can only be regarded as a pass.

There are only a few days until the nominations are announced, and these days are especially important.

According to Oscar regulations, after the nomination list is announced and before the awards are presented, no further public relations are allowed.

Cheng Yu's public relations in the United States will be followed by the two most important weather vanes: Screen Actors Guild Awards and Directors Guild Awards. "The Artist" won the Director's Guild Award for Best Drama Director, and the Best Actor of the Screen Actors Guild was won by "Hunting".

"Ah," Cheng Yu'an wailed while lying on the sofa in the hotel, "I am also a billionaire, running around like a grandson these days is really tormenting."

Liu Yifei has already started to receive action training for "Pacific Rim", and she will accompany Cheng Yu'an after training.

Liu Yifei poured Cheng Yuan a cup of hot milk: "If you are tired, don't run away." She also felt sorry for her boyfriend.

"It will be over in a few days, and I will never rush for Oscars again."

"That's Oscar, are you willing?"

"I have nothing to give up." Cheng Yu'an took a sip of milk, "Harvey is actually right, I really don't think much of Oscar. I worked so hard this year just because I think it's all here, so let's go through the whole process."

Sometimes Liu Yifei doesn't like Cheng Yu'an.

He doesn't seem to care much about the awards that others covet.

After being put together by the Golden Rooster Award, they have not been in touch for ten years.If you change to another director, you have to fight for it.

The Golden Statue Award is also because he was given the best screenwriter before. In recent years, as the company has less and less cooperation with Hong Kong Island, the Golden Statue Award has become more and more stingy, so he will not go.

The Golden Horse Awards sent him invitations for five consecutive years, but he didn't go for once.

Two trips to Venice, the first time was because the company needed awards to gain popularity, and the second time was because Mark Muller personally made an appointment to film "The Hunt".

As for Cannes and Berlin, he said that there were no suitable films to take over.

This year's Oscar, his reason is "everyone is here".

Cheng Yu'an's more reason for filming is: "I want to make such a story."

As for whether the judges like it or not, he doesn't seem to care.

Liu Yifei actually hoped that Cheng Yu'an would take the initiative to fight for something.

"Even in love, I chased him, hum!" Liu Yifei thought to himself.
