Duke, who used to hear about the title of "The King's Speech", has never been seen. Now, after watching it on the spot, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an excellent assembly line composition tailored for the Oscars.

To be honest, the storyline of this film is not as good as "Black Swan", let alone "Inception".

As we all know, Oscars generally do not choose the best story, because the concept of "good" is not very applicable when the strength is not very different, so they usually choose "suitable" stories.

A typical Oscar story, first of all, cannot be too commercial. If it is too commercial, the Oscar will be labeled as "technical"; secondly, in the literary and artistic level, things that cannot be too creative and too innovative may just be a surprise. They may not be criticized as garbage by industry insiders soon. Oscars have never been willing to act as a pioneering art school. They are more willing to find the most proficient ones among existing standards.

Harvey Weinstein and Duke each tested a few words and gradually determined the Oscar targets they targeted each other.

"So, Duke." Harvey Wayne Stein completely gave up his words in circles and began to speak bluntly. There were only two of them here, so there was no need to worry too much about some of them. "The only female character in "The King's Speech" is George VI's wife. We are going to apply for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress."

Hearing this, Duke couldn't help but smile and said, "My two films, Inception and Gravity are both science fiction types. Harvey, you should be very clear that I have always been a very realistic person."

This is not the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which has a huge influence in North America. This type of non-adapted type that has almost nothing to do with reality. If you want to get the best film, unless Duke dies and lets them become his last work.

But how is that possible?

Harvey Weinstein knew this very well, "That way, we won't be competitors."

Duke lights the armrest of the sofa and returns, "In the best video, I am very optimistic about "The King's Speech."

He opened the bargaining chips for the trade, but Harvey Weinstein frowned and hesitated for a few seconds before saying. "I haven't seen "Gravity", but I know Miss Johnson's acting skills, and her acting skills will not be problematic, but Duke, it's difficult for you to win this Best Actress."

"I know." Duke coughed lightly. "Someone has also lobbyed me. Natalie Portman is indeed the most outstanding representative of the new generation of Jewish actresses."

Harvey Weinstein nodded silently. In fact, he and most people in Hollywood do not understand some of the things between Duke and Natalie Portman.

Duke looked at the Jewish fat man next to him, "Don't forget, Harvey. Our Jewish club just wants to set up a Jewish model. Natalie Portman is a Jewish, and Scarlett is the same."

However, Duke didn't say anything. Although he grew up with his mother, Scarlett did not have much identification with the identity of Jewish. He would not constantly use his ethnicity to make trouble like Natalie Portman.

After being silent for nearly half a minute, thinking carefully about the pros and cons, Harvey Weinstein spoke, "Even if we can win our vote, Duke, you will not have much hope of winning."

Harvey Weinstein is definitely an Oscar's public relations expert. He has a very clear view of this. "Have you noticed that Natalie Portman is already pregnant. And the pregnancy is very obvious."

This is a factor that cannot be ignored, but Duke doesn't seem to care too much, "Harvey, we support you in the best film. And you support my best actress, I will solve the other aspects myself."

Yes, pregnant women can indeed increase their sympathy points, but is it difficult for women who are mingling in Hollywood to split their legs?

This is a naked transaction, neither party has any intention of concealing it.

Last month, Harvey Weinstein once met Natalie Portman's mother, and he also promised him that he would support Natalie Portman at the Oscar for Best Actress.

There is no doubt that Natalie Portman has a powerful driving force behind it, but no matter how powerful this force is, can it surpass Duke Rosenberg?

Harvey Weinstein knew very well that Duke was not the director the academy liked, and his influence on the academy was not even very strong. However, looking at the entire Hollywood, he is definitely one of the top levels in this circle. It is not an exaggeration to say that it can affect the direction of the Hollywood industry.

And behind him are Warner Bros. and the entire Time Warner Group...

Whether to choose Duke Rosenberg or Natalie Portman is not difficult at all.

The most important thing is that Harvey Weinstein can see obvious benefits from it, and the most direct thing is the Oscar vote. After all, everyone knows that Duke Rosenberg does not represent himself, but also the voice of a large group.

In the face of sufficient interests, commitment is nothing to Harvey Weinstein.

He turned around and reached out his right hand to Duke, "I think this will be a pleasant collaboration."

Duke shook in his hand, "Happy cooperation, Harvey."

Afterwards, Duke and Harvey Weinstein left the lounge and walked into the banquet hall where the party was held. Duke quickly found Scarlett. Those who could be invited by Harvey Weinstein were basically members of the academy, and at the worst they had Oscars' voting rights. She was also a smart person. She was skilled in socializing among these people. Although she couldn't say anything clearly, she was still calmly trying to make a difference for herself.

To be precise, hitting the Oscar is a comprehensive marketing process.

The marketing of Oscar Little Golden People is very different from the marketing of box office. It is not like marketing. Many tricks are exposed outside, and more work is done in places that the public cannot see.

The biggest controversy arises in the Oscars is actually the result of marketing that the public cannot see. At the 71st Academy Awards Ceremony, "Shakespeare in Love" defeated "Saving Private Ryan" and won the best film; Gwyneth Paltrow beat Cate Blanchett to win the Best Actress. The ownership of these two awards caused a stormy controversy.

Everyone knows that this is the result of Harvey Weinstein and Miramax Pictures’ efforts to public relations, but few people know what they did.

The other Duke is just watching the fire from the other side of the river, and it is not clear. But Duke has witnessed Miramax Films win again at the end of the last century. Although this time, there is no "Save Private Ryan" which makes the controversy not that big, Gwyneth Paltrow is still considered one of the most popular actresses in Oscar history, and even the most unworthy best actress in the past thirty years.

Duke has somewhat understood Harvey Weinstein's methods. This fat Jewish man did play an important role in the college's broad network of relationships, but money is the key.

The Oscar competition has long become a money game.

When the public relations funds for other films were only $500,000, Harvey Weinstein's expenses had reached $3 million. When others' investment reached the percentage level, his expenditure had reached the level of 5 million or even tens of millions.

Today's Oscars have formed a rule. Perhaps the laws of the European professional football league are used to describe that those who invest heavily in heavy investment may not necessarily win awards, but those who do not invest heavily will definitely not win awards.

Of course, this award refers to the most important awards.

Duke also made a round of the party. This kind of socializing is a routine event for each awards season, but compared to the Weinstein brothers, he can only be said to be a stranger in the awards season.

Before staying too late, Duke took Scarlett Johansson to leave the hotel and took a bus to return to Malibu.

On the car back, Duke asked Scarlett, "Dear, how many people have you won."

"Who knows." Scarlett shrugged, "The oldest people are the most influential, but they are all a group of old foxes who are reluctant to express their opinions easily."

Duke nodded, "Most people will not make choices easily without seeing enough benefits."

Not all the members of the academy are very glorious. Many older actors or people from other industries go bankrupt and destitute after retirement. The annual awards season can be said to be the harvest season for these people...

However, Hollywood never promotes this to the outside world. From the outside, it is always so glamorous.

For this Oscar heroine, Duke also prepared $15 million in public relations expenses in addition to Warner Bros. This money is nothing to him. If it is turned into some seemingly inconspicuous small gifts, it can impress many people.

The School of Film Arts and Sciences has various regulations on Oscar public relations, but people in the circle are very clear that most of the time these regulations are just regulations.

Of course, public relations parties cannot do too much, they must grasp the right measure.

Duke's public relations manager Pany Kellis is a veteran in this field. In recent years, as he grows older, he has only served Duke alone, and he has received enough rewards. For this Oscar public relations, Duke is mainly responsible for Duke.

Not only that, after learning that Scarlett was going to win the Oscar for Best Actress, Mrs. Leah also arrived in Los Angeles on Christmas and met her two old friends George Lucas and Steven Spielberg respectively.

All preparations are ready, but Gravity first needs to be the basic qualification to participate in the Oscars and be released before the New Year.

After Christmas, Gravity started its preview tour in North America with a number of 50 theaters. To be continued.
