Chapter four hundred and forty first green hat
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
"A good science fiction film, before it is released, holds the hopes of everyone in the crew, especially the director.ΩΔ"
Standing on the stage of Chandler Hall in the Los Angeles Music Center, Robert Downey Jr., as the award presenter, said seriously, "Directors are crucial to a science fiction film. In the 1960s, Hollywood had Stanley Kubrick's "2oo1 Space Odyssey", George Lucas's "Star Wars" in the 1970s, Robert Zemekis's "Back to the Future" and Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" in the 1990s."
Robert Downey Jr. spoke not very quickly this time. "In the new century, excellent science fiction films have emerged in large numbers, especially in the past year."
He looked down at the card and said, "The nominations for Best Director at this Saturn Award are Sam Remy of Spider-Man 3, Michael Bay of Transformers, Murphy Stanton of Man of Steel, Gore Vipensky of Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World, and Zach Schneider of the Spartan Three Hundred Warriors."
These are all commercial movies that were sold at the box office last year. The Saturn Award has nothing to do with professional reviews and media reputation. It pays more attention to the popularity of the film among the audience and...will nominees come to receive the award on site?
For two films with similar situations, if one of the nominees is willing to come to receive the award on site, the organizer will basically award the award to him.
In fact, it is not just the Saturn Award, but in North America, such as the Youth Choice Award, the MTV Movie Award and other awards, there are also such unwritten but well-known rules.
The biggest stars of the Saturn Awards ceremony tonight were Robert Downey Jr. and Michael Douglas, and the biggest director was Murphy. Who would win this award would be no suspense when walking on the red carpet.
"The best director who won the Saturn Award is..." Robert Downey Jr. opened the envelope and glanced, split his mouth and said with a smile, "Murphy Stanton! Congratulations to Murphy!"
He raised his hands and clapped hard on the stage, and the applause below the stage also rang out at the same time.
Regardless of whether there are other reasons for winning the award, Murphy deserves the best director with "Body of Steel".
"Man of Steel" brings not only high box office, but also high reputation, as well as the depth and thickness that previous hero movies do not have.
"Murphy Stanton has proved to Hollywood that black styles can also be sold well around the world."
Below the stage, a senior executive of Sony Columbia Pictures said to another person, "The heavy theme can make a hero movie more charming. Can commercial movies also consider making this way, such as the new "oo7" series and the "Spider-Man" series that we plan to restart?"
The man nodded, "I think there is a certain feasibility. If you look at Murphy Stanton's current style, you will know how many fans in North America and the world like this style."
Amidst the warm applause, Murphy stood up and walked towards the stage, went on stage, first hugged Robert Downey Jr., then took the trophy and stood in front of the microphone.
"I'm very happy to be here. This award is the biggest affirmation of my work last year, thank you!"
After saying the routine thanks, it was the advertising time, which was why Murphy attended the award ceremony. "The support of movie fans is always the most proud thing for a director. You have recognized "Man of Steel". I hope you can also recognize "Inglorious Bastard" in the future!"
He raised the trophy and left the last sentence, "Thank you."
Without caring about the reactions in the audience, Murphy turned around and walked to Robert Downey Jr., and led by the staff, he walked out of the stage and came to the backstage.
Apart from some tacit things, he and Robert Downey Jr. attended the Saturn Awards ceremony for publicity.
Murphy is promoting "Inglorious Bastard" which will be released soon, while Robert Downey Jr. is promoting the upcoming "Iron Man" disc and Blu-ray DVD.
Just like the two of them, most of the time, big-name actors and directors attend such awards ceremony are not pure.
Because he was not very interested in the award ceremony, Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. entered the backstage and were not in a hurry to go out. In addition, the organizer arranged a routine interview activity. After simply dealing with the reporters, the two stood in the interview area and started chatting.
It was said that they were attending together, Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. did not come to the award ceremony at the same time. When walking the red carpet, they even separated many people according to the organizers' arrangements.
"Both of Steel is offline from Gibraltar, the final screening site?"
Seeing Murphy nodding, Robert Downey Jr. asked with concern, "How much is the global box office in the end? Is it over $1.2 billion?"
Murphy shook his head. In the last few markets released in "Man of Steel", the country with the largest population is less than one million. How could it be that the box office boom could be hit?
"You overestimate the volume of these small markets." He gently patted Robert Downey Jr.'s arm, "The final global box office is still far from $1.2 billion, only $1.132.47 million."
"That's it..." Robert Downey Jr. said deliberately, "I'm still waiting for you to surpass that old bastard James Cameron."
Murphy shrugged, "I'm afraid he's the only one who can surpass James Cameron."
Several directors are willing to spend years studying and experimenting with new technologies like James Cameron for a film? Anyway, he can't do it himself.
After chatting for a few words, the two left the interview area and were about to return to Chandler Hall and turned into the passage next to them. Robert Downey Jr. seemed to have stopped a familiar figure, looked back and then grabbed Murphy in the quiet passage.
"What's wrong?" Murphy asked in confusion.
"I wanted to wait for the award ceremony to end, but I didn't expect to meet it now..." Robert Downey Jr. tilted his chin to the interview area, "Michael Douglas is here."
Murphy didn't say much, but just pointed to a surveillance camera in the distance to Robert Downey.
"Don't worry." Robert Downey Jr. took a deep breath, "I've been holding it for a few years, and I'm not that impulsive."
Standing here, Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. waited for a few minutes, and the crisp sound of leather shoes falling to the ground sounded, and Michael Douglas, in a gray suit, turned from the entrance to the passage.
Michael Douglas obviously didn't expect that someone in the passage would see the faces of Murphy and Robert Downey Jr., and could not help but be stunned.
Robert Downey Jr. looked at Michael Douglas, and Michael Douglas also looked at Robert Downey Jr.
Michael Douglas didn't even look at Murphy, probably not wanting to provoke Murphy. He walked to five feet in front of Robert Downey Jr. and suddenly laughed.
"Donny, how many years have we not seen each other?" His smile seemed meaningless. "The last time we talked face to face like this was before you went to jail... Oh, yes, why didn't I notify me when I was released from prison? It's up to our two families..."
He suddenly increased his tone, "For the sake of deep friendship, I can go and pick you up."
Robert Downey Jr. looked at Michael Douglas, but did not immediately strike back.
"Oh, by the way." Michael Douglas did not hide his disgust for the surname Donny. "Mr. Donny, I heard that you have successfully quit drugs. This is definitely not true..."
"Of course I'm not as real as your mother putting a green hat on your father back then." Robert Downey Jr. finally spoke back. His words were very fast, but Michael Douglas could hear it clearly. "You probably don't understand the meaning of a green hat. In Chinatown, this specifically describes the woman having sex with others behind her husband's back..."
Before Michael Douglas could react, Robert Downey Jr. continued, "Mrs. Douglas was beautiful and charming at that time, and was the first-class socialite in Hollywood."
What this term is described in Hollywood is well known to everyone present.
"Your father has paid a heavy price..." Michael Douglas squeezed out a sentence from his mouth in a sinister way, but before he could finish his words, he was once again snatched by Robert Downey Jr.
He shrugged playfully, "I can tell you very responsibly that Old Robert Downey is still reminiscing about Mrs. Glass."
Before, Murphy didn't know much about the feud between the Douglas family and the Downey family. Now he gradually understood it. It seemed that Robert Downey, the old man, was wrong first, and then he attracted revenge from Kirk Douglas. The latter was probably not relieved enough, and he joined forces with Michael Douglas to make arrangements, cheating Robert Downey Jr.
Of course, this is just a guess, and he is too lazy to know what's going on.
Is it important to understand the causes and consequences? So what if the old Robert Downey was the one who made the first mistake? Murphy always knew that his friend and brother were called Robert Downey Jr., not Douglas.
It is very simple to determine the position in these bad things in Hollywood, that is, closeness and alienation.
However, looking at Robert Downey Jr. and Michael Douglas's verbal battle, Murphy had no intention of helping him from beginning to end. If Robert Downey Jr. could not beat Michael Douglas in a verbal battle, the verbal tricks for so many years would be in vain.
Moreover, compared to verbal, Murphy always believes that only actions have real lethality.
As for Kirk Douglas, one of the focus of the two verbal sluts, Murphy knew that he was the top power figure in Hollywood back then. Not to mention Robert Downey, even Stanley Kubrick dared not provoke him.
But it wasn't now after all.
(Donny and Douglas are all for the plot service, don't take it too seriously.) (To be continued.)8
