Made in Hollywood

Such remarks will not have much impact on the film's box office market. What can really affect the professional reputation and the choices of the Oscar judges. The previous "Brokeback Mountain" did not respond to the criticism under the optimistic and popular situation. made a powerful counterattack to his remarks, and directly lost the best picture statuette that was likely to be won.

Although Duke's goal is not on the best film, the negative reviews of the film will also drag down the individual awards. A film is closely related to the director or actor or even any staff involved.

The other party found a long-retired former astronaut, and Duke directly found an active NASA astronaut who had just returned from space.

When the astronaut named Garrett Reisman accepted Warner's media interview, he was full of praise for "Gravity".

"The only thing separating you from the earth in the movie is the glass on your helmet. This visual shock is captured just right, and the movement and posture of the spacewalk are also very accurate. Scarlett Johansson played The novice astronaut was exactly right to close both valves when shutting off the oxygen flow to the Soyuz, and the button she pressed when she wanted to command the orbital maneuvering engine CKD was exactly right and the button was labeled correctly , the interiors of the Soyuz and the ISS are also very close to reality.”

In addition, Garrett Raisman also said humorously, "Scarlett Johansson really behaves like a professional astronaut, but there are very few astronauts as beautiful as her."

Not only the astronaut Garrett Reisman, but even the spokesperson of NASA, one of the behind-the-scenes sponsors of the film, also talked about the film "Gravity" at the press conference. In terms of simulating real space and the professionalism of the actors, "Gravity" has done the best of all space genre movies.

This is undoubtedly a powerful counterattack. The former astronaut named Scott Palazsky has retired for many years. How can he be more authoritative than the words of the current astronauts and NASA?

And when needed. Duke never minded playing in person, either.

"During the filming, Scarlett Johansson made unimaginable efforts. Not only was she operated by 12 steel cables to show the feeling of space roaming and drifting, but she also often cooperated with the filming to make rolls, hanging upside down, etc. Gravity movements, even lying flat in the air."

In an interview with Vanity Fair. Duke talked about the difficulties in filming, "It is a kind of pride for an actor to shoot the feeling of no gravity in a place with gravity. When I tried it myself, I couldn't hold on for a few seconds, but Scarlett survived."

More than that. Duke is very clear that the support of his colleagues in the industry and their opinions on the film are much more important than comments from the media or a few words of criticism from an astronaut.

James Cameron once praised the film highly, and "Gravity" itself can naturally be supported by some technical streams in the circle. Duke himself also frequently meets with veteran Jews in the industry. Anyway, since the Mel Gibson incident that year, he has become a member of the Jewish club. Still pretty heavy.

At the same time, the pull-up sessions of "Gravity" are also being held continuously. Penny Kelis and several public relations companies hired by Duke took turns to carry out carpet public relations for the judges who came to the preview, and a large number of commemorative but inconspicuous small gifts, like flowing water sent out.

even. Duke has also enlisted the support of some industry heavyweights.

When Francis Coppola was interviewed, he specifically mentioned "Gravity", saying that this film is an extremely exciting masterpiece. Scarlett Johansson gave one of the best performances in Hollywood in recent years.

George Lucas was not stingy with his praise after attending a trial meeting, "I called Cameron, and he thought Duke was doing things five years ahead of schedule, which is crazy. Yeah, but Duke did it. I think there's no doubt that this movie has pushed the art of filmmaking a lot forward."

"I think the technology and method they used to shoot Gravity will change the model of filmmaking forever, and the machines that Duke and his crew designed and built for the film are also very ingenious. I love Duke's film. movie, in which he completely changed himself."

The views of George Lucas and Francis Coppola can undoubtedly influence many people. Although the former is not a member of the academy, there are a large number of judges in his Lucasfilm; although the latter has been retired for a long time, Yet he remains a leading figure among the Italian-American community in Hollywood.

"Although the situation is not the best for us..."

In the garden of the Duke's manor, Tina Fey was walking with Duke, and said while walking, "But we will be one of the biggest favorites."

She thought for a while, and then said, "Those negative comments should come from William Morris..."

Duke slowed down and raised his hand to interrupt Tina Fey's words, "It doesn't matter where those remarks come from. The important thing is that we recognize who the main competitor is."

Of course, Tina Fey could understand Duke's words, and said tentatively, "Let Nancy and Pani start now? They're ready."

"Then start it." Duke said without hesitation, "There is no need to keep it!"

During the second weekend of January, "Weekly World News" published a shocking story about Natalie Portman, the award-season star of Hollywood, and the ' "Little three" is associated with words like "despicable" scheming bitch.

Weekly World News interviewed the ex-girlfriend of Natalie Portman's fiancé, Benjamin Millepy, who claimed that Natalie Portman was not only between her and Benjamin Millepy A third party intervened, causing the three of them to have a strange relationship for nearly half a year, and finally forced Benjamin Millep to abandon her by means of intentional pregnancy...

In her rhetoric, Natalie Portman's pregnancy is not based on the nature of women and mothers at all, but uses pregnancy to achieve a series of ulterior purposes.

Relevant interviews and reports have appeared not only in the paper media of "World News Weekly", but also in gossip entertainment programs such as Fox TV Network and popular online videos shared instantly.

For a time, many people's feelings towards Natalie Portman have changed to a certain extent, especially the phrase 'using pregnancy to achieve a series of ulterior motives' that was specially highlighted and emphasized in the video and news reports. The words also aroused the vigilance of many people.

"As I said, that's not a simple woman."

In an apartment building in Beverly Hills, Franco Pearson told some of his old friends, "What her private life is, we have nothing to do with it, but when you think about it, she wants to take advantage of the pregnancy." To blind our minds and cause us to make mistakes in judgment, this kind of behavior is too bad!"

Another gray-haired old man, a member of the college's rotating committee, nodded heavily, "In order to achieve her goal, she will do whatever it takes. She has underestimated us too much."

"She's taking us for idiots!"

An old man who participated in the Ducla film meeting some time ago was filled with righteous indignation, "We are not old and foolish!"

"That's right!"

"That's right!"

There were echoing voices all around.

Although these people only have one vote in their hands, each of them is close to or over seventy years old, and has a wide network of contacts in this circle of fame and fortune.

What Duke wants to do is not necessarily to win their support, as long as they can offset some of the judges' sympathy points for Natalie Portman, that's enough.

If the two sides are on the same starting point, even if Natalie Portman's role and film type are more popular with Oscars, how difficult is it for her to win Scarlett Johansson?

As for what Natalie Portman will think, whether she will go crazy, it is not within the scope of Duke's consideration. In the face of sufficient interests, Natalie is not the only one who has been hacked by him. • Portman one.

Of course, this only makes the competition between the two sides look more fair. If everyone uses those conventional methods to challenge the Oscar heroine, the final winner will only be known on the day when the awards are announced.

However, Duke still admires the Jewish actress. She used to be the most intelligent actress in Hollywood, and it was not created out of thin air. Presumably, she won the Oscar for the leading actress, and it was not unrelated to her pregnancy at the time. Although there is no way to know the specific situation at that time, but based on American society and her own behavior, it is very likely that this is a well-established and smooth-running plan for the Olympics.

With her rumored brain, it is not difficult to come up with such a plan.

It can be said that Natalie Portman is really smart. There are too many female stars like Angelina Jolie in Hollywood. Hollywood has successfully packaged itself as a distinctive Hollywood female star by means of ambiguity and separation, and it is almost impossible to find a second sample.

There is nothing wrong with such packaging, everyone in Hollywood has a layer of packaging, Duke and Scarlett Johansson are no exception, but Natalie Portman's packaging is too thick and too shiny, always wanting to People can't help but open the package to see what's really inside.

Maybe it's as shiny as the packaging, or maybe it's completely different, who knows. (to be continued ~^~)
