Chapter 440 Bad Luck

"Li, what a pity. You should be here to present the Best Actor Award and witness this miraculous moment."

Leonardo was very excited. Damn, the base of this trophy is engraved with his name. Can it be fake this time?
"Leon, could this be a misunderstanding?"

Li Mu was puzzled. Xiao Lizi couldn't win the Best Actor this time, even though he had been with him for nearly 20 years.

"No, no, how could this be a misunderstanding?"

While listening to Leonardo's excited words, Li Mu watched the CNN News Network video and felt that it was the same thing.

However, suddenly another piece of news popped up on the website.

After Li Mu read it, he wanted to laugh a little, but then he held it back.

"Leon, would you like to continue watching CNN News Network's follow-up."

"???"

Very different from the previous week, the streets were even filled with posters and brochures of major movies.

Li Mu immediately shook his head and laughed dumbly.

In "Different Skies", he can interpret the mental retardation to the fullest and even steal all the limelight from Johnny Depp. There is no doubt about Leonardo's talent.

However, the busiest people are actually not the major celebrities and reporters, but the staff of the public relations offices of fashion brands.

Reporters even surrounded the Dolby Theater in circles.

In fact, Leonardo, who debuted early, is a natural at acting and has not received any professional training.

However, he was spotted by James Cameron and made the historical blockbuster "Titanic", which not only made him successful, but also put him on the Oscar blacklist.

"Fcuk, they're lying to me."

Leonardo wished he could drop his phone at this moment.

The following "Total Eclipse Love" and "Basketball Diaries" continued to prove his talent, and the characteristics of his early works also began to show: full of aura, fearless, and able to perform all kinds of paranoid extreme performances.

"Although it was a misunderstanding, I think your Oscar-winning career has added some hope."

The phone suddenly became quiet, followed by the sound of clicking the mouse.

"."

"Okay, Lee, thank you for your comfort. I'll see you next week."

On March 3, the new Oscars finally arrived.

It turns out that this year they had prepared the base of the statuette with the name of each finalist first, and then set it on the statuette after confirming the winner.

Anyway, James Cameron boasted well and shouted "I am the king of the world" on the podium. Unfortunately, Leonardo was ruthlessly rejected by the academy.

If he continues on this path of independent films, maybe he can achieve Sean Penn's achievements.

Because the news is exactly what the trophy manufacturer said, it immediately came out to clarify.

Leonardo said dejectedly.

Li Mu comforted him, although it didn't have much effect.

In this continuous month, their doorbells will ring continuously every minute and every second every day. Countless people come and go in a short period of time, and batches of dresses, handbags, shoes and accessories are prepared. , it’s already a mess here!

Because they have to prepare their uniforms for the actresses.

There is no way, the red carpet of the Oscars is the first time for female stars, who can be embarrassed at this time.

There is no actress who won't compete on the red carpet. It seems that they walked slowly with a faint smile, and waved gently as they walked over, leaving a lingering fragrance. However, they worked hard for too long to be decent in these few minutes.

As for Li Mu, he can easily wear a suit and walk on the red carpet.

At this time, there were many actresses familiar to Li Mu on the red carpet.

For example, Jennifer Lawrence is right up front.

The reporters on both sides were also well-behaved. However, Li Mu had just taken a few steps when he heard the noisy voices of the reporters.

Li Mu followed the reporters' gazes in confusion. What a good guy, he was wearing a tight-fitting tube top red dress and made a gorgeous turn on the ground, then fell down again.

This time, she even stretched out her hand and pulled the neck of the actress in front of her, which also frightened her.

"Good guy, she's almost becoming the queen of wrestling."

Li Mu was still some distance away from him. Seeing that nothing was wrong, he didn't bother to go up and greet him.

Otherwise, there would be plenty of media reports to write about, and besides, there are probably still people watching this live broadcast.

For example, Liu Yifei at this time.

"It's not like I'm going to win a prize, what's there to see?"

Shu Chang glanced at Liu Yifei's computer and immediately looked away.

"You do not understand."

Liu Yifei said something you didn’t understand, and she instantly killed Shu Chang.

"."

Maybe because he didn't have a movie to compete in, Li Mu was very relaxed and felt like he was on vacation for himself.

Chat with acquaintances and reminisce about old times.

Charlize Theron has been a frequent visitor to the Oscars over the years. Regardless of whether she wins an award or not, she has been on the list for four consecutive years and has been voted the best dressed on the red carpet.

At this time, she was wearing a long black dress, which was quite eye-catching. "Li, why don't you bring Crystal?"

Charlize Theron naturally sat next to Li Mu. She was also the award guest, just like Li Mu.

"I heard that you took away the script of "La La Land" and prepared it for Crystal?"

"Do you guys know this too?"

Li Mu didn't know that this script was getting so much attention.

"If your script has been on the blacklist, of course the most important thing is that you get rid of it. You are the focus of attention in Hollywood. Many people are still thinking about your intentions with this script."

Charlize Theron half covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Then am I on the right track?"

A big black man walked over from the side. It was Will Smith whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Li Mu also stood up and gave him a brief hug.

"Hey, I just agreed to be the producer of "Annie: New York", which is also a musical comedy movie. Li, are you optimistic about the market for musicals?"

Will Smith asked with interest.

"This is a gift." Li Mu smiled and shook his head, "By the way, why don't you star in it yourself?"

".I just won the Razzie Award for Worst Actor, just yesterday."

Will Smith said quite depressedly, but Charlize Theron was very rude and smiled brightly.

"Will, it's okay, everyone has taken it."

"Oh, I forgot, it's the movie "Back to Earth", right? It's really bad."

Li Mu suddenly realized that the Golden Raspberry Awards usually happen the day before the Oscars, and the only one that happened was Will Smith's "Back to Earth" last year.

This movie is indeed a big bad movie, with a total investment of US$1.3 million, but the global box office revenue is only US$2.4 million. As an A-level production starring a Hollywood star, minus the theater's share, the investors are really Lost everything.

Not only did the movie fail at the box office, it also received rave reviews, with an IMDB score as low as 4.9 and a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 11%.

It lost both the box office and the reputation. It can be called the worst loss for Will Smith!
"Suddenly I miss the time we spent filming "The Pursuit of Happiness" and "I Am Legend" together."

Will Smith recalled that "Return to Earth" taught him a hard lesson.

"It's okay. It's not the first time you've won it anyway. It was the same in "Strike Men" back then."

Li Mu patted his shoulder comfortingly.

"You are so incompetent."

Will Smith feels even more depressed.

The three of them were all award presenters at this ceremony, which was very casual because most of the shots were also given to the nominees.

During the period, Leonardo, Jennifer Lawrence and others also came over to chat.

Watching Leonardo return to his seat, Will Smith seemed to see something, "Leon seems a little nervous."

"I see it."

Charlize Theron nodded.

"You all have won Best Actor and Best Actress, so you may not be able to understand his mood at this moment."

"No, I was like that back then."

Will Smith shook his head.

"I was treated badly back then. To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about him winning the Best Actor this time."

After hearing what Charlie Ztheron said, Li Mu and Will Smith also nodded. Leonardo does not have an advantage this time.

The judges of the Academy seem to dislike the comfort of actors, and particularly like desperate Saburos who gain weight and lose weight, become disgraced, and pretend to be crazy. Most of the best actors and actresses have achieved success by playing mentally ill and gay actors.

This is the case with "The Devil" starring Charlize Theron.

This year, although the 77-year-old Mr. Dunn in "Nebraska" and Leonardo, who has been with him for thousands of years in "The Wolf of Wall Street", both gave their most exciting performances since their movies.

But compared to Matthew McConaughey, who is so skinny and skinny, he is just a cloud.

"Based on this, it seems that his luck is too bad."

Li Mu thought for a while, and Leonardo seemed to have encountered opponents he shouldn't have encountered in several opportunities.

All actors will encounter the problem of "how to be good when they are good", just like "The Shawshank Redemption" meets "Forrest Gump" and they will regret it for life.

Leonardo also had bad luck in this regard. The closest he came to an Oscar was the year of "The Aviator". In the end, the Oscar was taken away by Jamie Foxx. The winning film was "The King of Soul" .

A biopic of black soul singer Ray Charles, performed by a Grammy Award-winning "non-professional", with an almost all-black cast, such a bargaining chip, let alone Leonardo, even if Daniel Day-Lewis is hard to say.

It's no secret that the Academy has always championed black movie stars to show its inclusiveness.

Leonardo also competed with biopics, but he played Howard Hughes, who was not only extremely rich, but also prosperous in Hollywood. He was also very handsome and charming, and slept with countless actresses from the golden age. .

Such a character is a typical example of hatred in Hollywood. It is estimated that many seniors in the academy were already full of resentment when watching the film.

Although Li Mu occasionally complains about the professionalism of the academy's judges, judges are also emotional animals. It is difficult to say that the feelings for the characters in the film will not be mixed into the emotions of choosing the male protagonist.

"That seems to be the case."

Charlize Theron and Will Smith also secretly laughed. If you really count, this is really bad luck.
