There are two Oscar public relations strategies: one is to go on shows, magazines, post articles, advertise, and promote your own movies; the other is to try every means to discredit others and suppress others. Most Hollywood companies take the first path and generally do not smear opponents. The reason why Harvey became the big winner of the Oscars is that he not only did well in publicity, but also had very clever black methods.

This year, Harvey has two movies, "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds" and "Django Saved", in order to pave the way for his own movies. While Harvey desperately promoted the two movies, he also used various means to attack and smear his opponents. Zhang Ran and Harvey have a grudge, and the two movies under Dingfeng Entertainment naturally became the focus of Harvey's attack.

"The Apocalypse of the Future" is considered by many American rightists to be an anti-American film, so Harvey seized this point and made a big fuss, claiming that "The Apocalypse of the Future" has received support from the Chinese government. Peter King, a Republican congressman in New York, even jumped out and said that "The Apocalypse of the Future" reveals a large number of future combat concepts of the US military, which may involve confidential information, and the Department of Defense should investigate.

The situation of "Hunting the Book of the Book of the Boston" is similar. After the Oscar nomination was released, it was publicly bombarded by Oscar judge David Clayron, saying that the movie has too much slander and vilified the heroic image. Clayron publicly stated that he would not vote for "Hunting the Book of the Boston" in the Oscar voting, and would inspire the judges around him to boycott it collectively.

Immediately afterwards, the families of the 911 victims came forward and claimed that the video began with her phone recording on the day of the incident, which was not allowed by her. She asked the film staff to apologize for the matter at the award ceremony if they won the award and donate all the profits of the film.

Scarlett Johnson, the starring Apocalypse of "The Future Apocalypse" and Jessica Chastain, the starring Apocalypse of "Hunting Ben***", are the most popular actors of the Oscars this year. In the 34-stop Filmmakers Association Awards, Scarlett Johnson won 15 Best Actresses, and Jessica Chastain won 12. Harvey intends to win Jennifer Lawrence to the top, and naturally he is crazy about smearing these two powerful competitors.

Bruce Handy, senior editor of Vanity Fair, published an article targeting Scarlett Johnson, analyzing and criticizing her acting skills. However, a day later, Vanity Fair quickly deleted the article, and a magazine spokesperson said that the article was contrary to the magazine's philosophy.

Emily, the heroine of "The Future Apocalypse", is a popular character. She grew from an ordinary woman to a strong fighter. She is considered by many people to be a particularly feminist character. During the Olympics, Scarlett Johnson also played feminist cards and won the support of many people.

Harvey knew that to defeat Scarlett Johnson, she had to smash her feminist character as a feminist fighter. So soon, the media published an article titled "Is Scarlett Johnson really a feminist?" and asked, "You, Scarlett Johnson, said you, are you a feminist?", and why are you starring in Woody Allen's movies and starring in three movies. Everyone knows that Woody Allen sexually assaulted her 7-year-old adopted daughter? Don't you know? While claiming that she is feminist, she starring in a rapist movie. Are you fake?

Shortly after the article was released, Woody Allen's adopted daughter also published an open letter questioning the actors who participated in Allen's movies, including Scarlett Johnson: Why do they know that his evil deeds still want to act for him? She also said that the whole Hollywood deliberately ignored Allen's crimes, but instead praised his achievements again and again, which further hurt her.

Jessica Chastan is relatively low-key, and she slowly gets up from the bottom, and there are not many black spots to catch. In order to fight Jessica Chastan, Harvey even revealed through the media that Jessica's parents divorced when she was very young. Her biological father loved her very much, but Jessica never mentioned his existence in public, which broke him heartbroken.

In fact, Jessica Chastain's father has passed away. For example, he is eating human blood buns when his relatives come out.

Under Harvey's crazy smear, "The Future Apocalypse" and "Assassination of Ben***" quickly fell into decline in their performances in the awards season, and their momentum to enter the Olympics weakened a lot.

On January 10, the 18th Radio and Film Critics Association Awards were announced. "Escape from Tehran" not only won the Best Picture, but also won the Best Director Award. The leading actors were won by Daniel Day Lewis and Jessica Chastain respectively; Jennifer Lawrence won the Best Comedy Actress Award for "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Cloud". In addition, "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Cloud" also won the Best Comedy Film, Best Actor and Best Group Acting Award, leading in terms of quantity. "The Apocalypse" only won three awards: Best Supporting Actor, Best Photography, and Best Visual Effects.

On January 14, the 70th Golden Globe Awards came to an end. The film "Escape from Tehran" won two awards in succession, becoming the biggest winner. Jessica Chastain won the Best Actress in Drama, while Jennifer Lawrence won the Best Actress in Comedy. "The Apocalypse" only won the Best Supporting Actor, and performed poorly.

The Broadcasting Critics Association Award and the Golden Globe Award are the Oscar vanes. After these two awards were awarded, the Oscars were completely changed. "Escape from Tehran" replaced "The Future Apocalypse" and became the biggest favorite of the Best Picture Award; in the award of Best Actress, Jennifer Lawrence also surpassed Scarlett Johnson and Jessica Chastain to become the number one seed.

Domestic movie fans saw that "The Apocalypse" lost two Oscars in a row, and couldn't help but worry about the prospects of the movie's Oscars. Many movie fans went to Zhang Ran to leave messages on Weibo, suggesting that he still need public relations when it was time to do public relations. Ang Lee kept doing public relations. "The Apocalypse" could have won the best film, but it would be a pity if he lost it!

At noon, Zhang Ran and Zhao Fei and other main creators sat together to chat. When they talked about the Oscars, Zhao Fei smiled and said, "Many people want you to go to public relations! I also think you should run for several important awards. People as low-key as Daniel Day Lewis have moved to Los Angeles to attend various award ceremony."

Zhang Ran shrugged and said, "I have to film on the crew during the day and go home to accompany my wife and children at night. How can I have time to go to public relations!"

Just then, Li Xuejian walked over and looked at Zhang Ran and said, "Director, I want to talk to you!"

Zhang Ran was stunned and said quickly: "Then, let's find a place to talk?"

"Just here." Li Xuejian pulled a chair and sat down, and said slowly, "The front of our play is very good, but I think there is something wrong with it later."

Zhang Ran knew that Li Xuejian was not the kind of actor who liked to modify scripts randomly. He said that there was something wrong with the script and he must have really discovered the problem, so he said, "Oh, what's the problem?"

Li Xuejian said slowly: "There are too many lines. People are unwilling to speak when they are hungry. They don't have the strength to say one word and never say two words. I am particularly unwilling to speak now!"

Zhang Ran was stunned. He had never considered this question, but when he thought about it carefully, it made sense. Moreover, this is Li Xuejian's real feeling, so he would definitely not be wrong. He immediately said, "You are right! This is our fault. We wrote it with full time when writing scripts, and we did not consider this issue. We immediately correct it, and we would not say what we can say without saying it. If we can use the body and expression, we should use the body and expression. We should also shorten the lines as much as possible. What do you think?"

Li Xuejian didn't say anything, but just nodded gently.

On January 26, the list of winners of the 24th American Producer Union Award was announced. "Escape from Tehran" and its producer Ben Affleck defeated many strong opponents and successfully won the Best Film Award of the Producer Union of the Year.

On February 2, the 65th American Directors Awards held an award ceremony at the Hollywood Heights Center in Los Angeles and announced the list of winners. Ben Affleck won the Best Director Award for his self-directed and directed "Escape from Tehran". This is also the second time that this year's Little Ben won the Golden Globe Award, the Producers' Guild and the Actors Guild group show.

The awards season continues, but the prospects for "The Future Apocalypse" are becoming increasingly unfavorable. However, Zhang Ran has no mind to care about the Oscars at all, because the filming of "Year, Month and Day" is coming to an end.

In the virtual studio of Lin'an Century Film Capital, Zhang Ran was telling a drama to Li Xuejian.

This scene is a scene where Xianye used his body as fertilizer to raise corn seedlings, whipped at the sun, and cursed the sun. In the story of "Year, Month and Day", Xianye waved the sun and cursed the sun many times. The action of whipping the sun is extremely symbolic and is a reflection of the character's spirit of resistance.

This show is not difficult, but it is a bit difficult for Li Xuejian now. Because Li Xuejian has lost nearly 20 kilograms of weight, he is so thin that he loses his appearance. He can't see the flesh at all, only skin and bones. Through his clothes, he can clearly see the bulges on his chest, and the roots are clear, just like a neatly rehearsed terrace on a ridge.

Li Xuejian is not tired at all now. As long as he is a little tired, he will breathe heavily. This scene that requires physical strength and explosive power is definitely a test for him.

Not long after, deputy director Guo Fan informed Zhang Ran that the filming preparations were ready and the filming could be officially started.

This time, Zhang Ran did not stay behind the monitor, but stood next to the camera and watched Li Xuejian perform on the spot. He picked up the phone and shouted: "Attention from all departments, let's start the real shots!"

After shouting the command "Start up! Pick the board", Zhang Ran looked at Li Xuejian in front of the camera and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Li, can you start?"

Li Xuejian was still brewing emotions and adjusting his condition. He gently waved his hand and signaled that it was not OK. Seeing this, Zhang Ran immediately said, "Teacher Li, if you are well, I will give us a signal!" Li Xuejian nodded.

After almost ten seconds, Li Xuejian's lips trembled slightly: "Okay!"

Zhang Ran shouted: "Start!!"

As the sound began, Li Xuejian took the whip and walked forward two steps, looked at the sky, and then waved the whip in his hand vigorously, as if whipping the vicious sun above his head. The flying whip made the "sunlight" fall in front of his eyes like pear blossoms.

After waving more than a dozen whips in a row, he used up all his strength. Li Xuejian bent down and panted, but he quickly straightened up tenaciously, shouted at the sun, "You, my son, can still ripen this corn plant, what can you do?"

Li Xuejian's voice was hoarse and dry, as if a broken gong was on the side, but there was a strong sense of reluctance and determination, with a thrilling power. Everyone present was shocked, and everyone felt the courage and determination behind this. Many people couldn't help but think of a saying, "A person can be eliminated, but cannot be defeated."

Zhang Ran behind the camera also felt the power in the shouting, which was a shout from the depths of the soul. This performance was also a performance that penetrated the soul. He shouted hard: "Very good! Stop!"

Li Xuejian let out a light breath, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he relaxed. But at this moment, his eyes turned dark and his body softened.
