Hollywood Road

Sue!

The audience in the screening hall hadn't left yet. The words of the former Hollywood producer named Steve Ponder immediately attracted many hostile eyes. He knew that this was not a place for him to abuse wantonly. Filled with dissatisfaction, he hurriedly left the theater and drove back home as fast as he could.

As a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, although Steve Pond is over seventy years old, unlike those who like to vote with their feet, he has always cherished his Oscar votes very much, and he goes to watch the Oscars every year. Candidates.

Impacting the Oscars is a series of projects. A film often decides whether to target the awards season at the beginning of the project. If it wants to make a difference in the awards season, the producer and distributor will definitely invite The Oscar judges enter the theater to watch movies, and the Oscar judges also enjoy free ticket treatment. If the judges are heavy enough, some studios will send copies or DVDs of the participating films to them early. hands.

This can be said to be the entry condition for the awards. Even if you vote with your feet, it is impossible for the judges to get nominations for films that the judges have never even heard of.

In terms of going to the theater to watch movies in person, Steve Bond is old enough, but he is not a core member of the academy.

However, Steve Pond himself never sees it that way. He actively participates in the annual Oscars from nomination to the final awards.

After receiving an invitation from 20th Century Fox to watch a movie, he deliberately entered the theater. Instead of being surprised, he felt angry when he saw the movie. A movie that is well-known in the United States, praised by countless media and movie fans, and well received by the industry The director actually made such a shameless film!

Yes, Steve Ponder thinks this film is completely shameless, what is Murphy Stanton promoting?

He is indeed a typical noir-style film, and the value orientation in the film is not so correct, but it is not as outrageous as the film "The Wolf of Wall Street"!

Steve Pond turned on his computer, quickly updated his Twitter, and wrote a long article, which focused on two points: It was a three-hour torture and I feel ashamed of you for making such a film !

Although he is not a core member of the Academy, Steve Pound's age and qualifications are here, and he also has a wide network of relationships in Hollywood. As soon as the film review was released, it was forwarded by many people.

As more and more passers-by viewers watched "The Wolf of Wall Street", some negative reviews inevitably began to appear on the Internet.

"The movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" is the worst movie I have ever seen!"

"Apart from the fact that the director and starring roles are big names, this movie is a super bad movie with no connotation, negative energy, pornographic scenes, and complete social pollution. I really can't figure out how my Iron Man Tony Stark Pick this kind of script."

These voices quickly attracted the attention of the media. Since one of the purposes of "The Wolf of Wall Street" is to target the awards season and the Oscars, 20th Century Fox invited not only Steve Ponder, but also There were other Oscar judges who didn't like the film very much.

Especially in Los Angeles, there was an Oscar special screening during prime time on Saturday night. Many familiar Oscar judges watched the movie together in a theater in Beverly Hills, directly turning this screening into a special screening for middle-aged and elderly people.

One of the female judges, Adele, who was nearly 70 years old, was interviewed by media reporters when she left the show. She criticized watching "The Wolf of Wall Street" as "torture" and "disgusting scenes repeated again and again. Appear".

Adele also said that many Oscar judges, including her, did not like the film, but she also admitted that other Oscar judges applauded at the screening.

The video of this interview subsequently appeared on Youtubie,

Then it was forwarded by many audiences and Oscar judges who didn't like "The Wolf of Wall Street".

The rise of social networks has provided convenience for film production topics and publicity hype, and is also conducive to the rapid spread of good film reputation.

In the same way, if there are any voices that are unfavorable to the film, they can often be spread as soon as possible.

Forty or fifty Oscar judges posted or reposted negative reviews of "The Wolf of Wall Street" through social networking sites, and the avatars they used showed that almost all of these people were gray-haired elderly people.

Such comments were naturally seen by the pervasive media. By Sunday morning, some paper media had already started commenting and reporting on this matter.

"The good news is that "The Wolf of Wall Street" earned $2.74 million in one day on Saturday."

In the restaurant on the Upper East Side, Gal Gadot put the breakfast he made by himself in front of Murphy, and sat opposite him with his porcelain plate, while looking at the newspaper placed in front of the plate, while Said, "The bad news is that negative comments have spread through social networking sites, and our online trolls can't control it at all."

"It's okay." Murphy nodded, cut off a piece of fried egg, put it in his mouth, and said, "It tastes great."

"Thank you." Gal Gadot smiled sweetly.

Murphy said while eating, "Now it's not the same as before. The speed of news transmission on the Internet is faster, and real instant sharing has been achieved. It is impossible for us to affect all social networking sites."

Gal Gadot shrugged, stuffed a piece of vegetable into her mouth, and swallowed it without taste. Fortunately, after so many years, she has gotten used to this kind of diet.

After eating less than half of the vegetable salad, Gal Gadot looked at the newspaper in front of him, pushed it to Murphy, and said, "Let's take a look."

Putting down the knife and fork, Murphy took the newspaper and quickly browsed it.

"The new work "The Wolf of Wall Street" directed by Murphy Stanton has been released, and a special viewing voyage has been specially arranged in Los Angeles, where Oscar judges gather, in order to build momentum for next year's awards competition. Unexpectedly, this screening has encountered Oscar judges. Quite a number of Oscar judges are very dissatisfied with the film's first-ranked profanity and drug-taking scenes. Judging from this situation, the Oscar progress of "The Wolf of Wall Street" is quite uncertain..."

After reading these, Murphy couldn't help shaking his head, but there were only dozens of Oscar judges, and the number of judges who gave the film good reviews was more than ten times that of these people.

After breakfast, he saw more negative comments on the Internet. For those conservatives, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is definitely a hard poison to swallow.

The conservative media, film critics, and Oscar judges believe that "The Wolf of Wall Street" is an extravagant "crazy show" that "starts with a group of demons dancing wildly, and continues to rush to the crazier limit", "the whole film is Disgusting scenes are repeated over and over again."

Later, when Murphy went to participate in a publicity event, he was interviewed by reporters specifically on this matter.

"The movie itself is just trying to show the character's experience and behavior as much as possible, and objectively describe the process of all this without any sympathy or criticism."

In the face of a large number of reporters, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with the film, “The characters in the film were originally such people: they were evil and extravagant, and they never felt that they had done anything wrong, and they were unwilling to apologize for their actions. , My team and I do not want to use the traditional method to shoot and produce this movie to tell such a story, but hope to bring the audience into that experience through the movie viewing experience, and then in the Ending with a jerk awakening, aware of the final destruction."

Murphy is not surprised that "The Wolf of Wall Street" has been treated like this. Nowadays, the Oscar judges are getting older and more conservative. According to the analysis of the "Los Angeles Times", the average age of the 6028 Oscar judges this year has risen from 62 to 63. The trend of aging is intensifying.

Frankly speaking, his new film lasts nearly 3 hours, and there are many scenes of profanity and drug use. For some old-school Oscar judges, it seems too discordant, and it is not reasonable for them to recognize it.

But this does not mean that the Olympic journey of "The Wolf of Wall Street" is shattered ahead of time. On the one hand, Oscar is also constantly replenishing fresh blood, and there are also many people who appreciate such films.

On the other hand, it is not the first time that Murphy's film has been publicly condemned during Oscar screenings. Previous films have also been criticized for being too violent and dark, but this time the voice is a bit louder.

When a reporter asked about the excessive scale of the film, Murphy said frankly, "This film is not for 14-year-old children, and it will not meet everyone's taste."

More and more reporters surrounded him. Bodyguards came to remind Murphy that he was about to leave. Just as he was about to get into the car, a reporter with a "Los Angeles Times" sign on his chest got in front of him.

"Hi, Director Stanton, I'm Amanda Ferrara, the reporter who interviewed you at the premiere."

The female reporter immediately put the microphone in front of Murphy, and Murphy nodded expressionlessly. The premiere was so chaotic, and there was so much trouble, how could he remember who she was.

As if afraid that Murphy would run away, the female reporter hurriedly asked loudly, "What do you think of some Oscar judges and members of the Film Academy criticizing your film as embarrassing?"

"I think these judges only believe that movies should reflect an idealized version of life," Murphy shrugged first, then spread his hands and said, "instead of exploring the dark side of human nature, which is why we don't have profound works. .”

After saying this, he no longer gave the reporter a chance to ask questions, and turned around and got into the car.

True, there are Oscar judges who are bashing him, but there are also a large number of people who support him and this "Wolf of Wall Street". (to be continued)).
