Best Movie Star

Chapter 925: sphere of influence

For the next week, Matthew stayed on set to shoot those life-like scenes in American Sniper.

In mid-January, he specially participated in a pull-out party of Fox Searchlight to cheer on his friend Michael Fassbender.

Last year, Michael Fassbender made a very artistic film called "Shame". His performance in it was widely praised by film critics and professionals, and he also declared for this year's Academy Award for Best Actor. , won the best actor Xiao Jinren did not dare to hope, but wanted to impact the nomination.

Not everyone is Matthew, and the Oscars, even if their influence is waning, are still very attractive to most actors.

Since it is an activity related to Michael Fassbender, of course, James McAvoy is also indispensable.

"By the way, James." Matthew asked, standing in the corner of the banquet hall, looking at James McAvoy across from him, "When did you go bald?"

James McAvoy took two glasses of wine from the passing waiter, gave Matthew a glass, and said, "Whenever the crew tells me to change, I will change."

Matthew deliberately looked at him and said, "You must be handsome with a bald head."

James McAvoy has always been confident, "When am I not handsome?"

Today, James McAvoy is best known for his role as Professor X Charles.

The two chatted about "X-Men", and Matthew asked, "Is there a good chance that Michael will be nominated?"

"There should be a chance." James McAvoy knows the situation better. "He personally spent more than two million dollars for public relations."

Matthew sighed, "I don't have much influence on the Oscars, so I can't really help."

This is the truth. Few of the old men like him. It must be a disservice for him to convince the old men.

"I can't help it." James McAvoy also sighed, "I hope the money Michael threw out can play some role."

Matthew nodded, "I hope so."

He watched the movie, whether it was Michael Fassbender or the heroine Carey Mulligan, there were many large-scale shots, which was one of the standard Olympic modes.

If you don't take off your clothes, how can you get the best actor and actress Oscar?

"If you want to win the Golden Man for Best Actor, you don't have much hope." James McAvoy said at this time.

Matthew asked curiously, "Who is the recognized favorite now?"

"The hero of The Artist." James McAvoy shrugged, "Harvey Weinstein's big award-winning project, black-and-white silent film, old-fashioned acting style, is exactly what suits the appetite of those people. "

Matthew nodded lightly, "Michael really doesn't have much hope."

This "The Artist" is really to the taste of those people, and Harvey Weinstein is the driving force behind it, but even if it wins the Oscar heavyweight award, can such a black and white silent film pay back the high cost?

Originally, Harvey Weinstein only needed 10 million to win the film, but he asked Bella Anderson to intervene, and Harvey Weinstein spent a full 20 million to get the copyright.

Such a black-and-white silent film can appeal to the Oscars. Even if it wins the Oscar for Best Picture or even other important awards, how many audiences will like black-and-white silent films?

Matthew didn't dare to say anything else. He knew enough about the film market. At that time, even audiences who like art films would probably be deceived when they entered the theater and saw such a film.

"Huh..." Matthew saw a black woman walk to the center of the banquet hall, stretched out his hand to take Michael Fassbender's arm, and asked, "Michael has another black girlfriend?"

James McAvoy also glanced over there, "It's just a temporary girlfriend." He replied briefly, "The woman's name is Nicole Beher, the supporting actress in the film Shame."

Having said that, he leaned over to Matthew and said mysteriously, "Do you know how she was attracted to Michael?"

There is obviously some shocking gossip, and Matthew asked curiously, "Is there any inside information?"

"Of course there is." James McAvoy pointed to himself, "In the film, there is a scene where Michael is completely naked, and it is even exposed here. It is said that Michael did not ask to clear the scene during the filming, and Nicole- Behr saw Michael's amazing size and was hooked on the spot."

Matthew was stunned for a while, and then said, "It turns out that you can still hook up with women like this."

James McAvoy couldn't help laughing. "You know what Michael told me later? He said that when this scene came out, more women would fall in love with him."

Of course, Matthew knew that this was a joke. After thinking about it, he said, "It seems... it seems that Michael has always had a soft spot for dark-skinned women."

"That's right!" James McAvoy clapped his palm, "If you didn't say I didn't pay attention, I also remembered when you said that, the women Michael was dating, even if they were white, had dark skin. type."

He looked at Michael Fassbender again, "So Michael only likes black girls."

Matthew nodded lightly, "It should be right."

The two chatted for a while, and Michael Fassbender temporarily ended the entertainment and came over.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." James McAvoy looked at Michael Fassbender and shook his head, "So, Michael, you have always liked dark-skinned women."

Michael Fassbender narrowed his eyes deliberately, "Is my biggest secret all discovered by you?"

James McAvoy sold Matthew without hesitation. "He found it."

Matthew shrugged, "Michael, it's obvious that the women who appear next to you have dark skin."

Michael Fassbender didn't mean to deny it, saying, "I just like one kind. It's not like you, Matthew, I like so many, Asia, Europe, South America and North America, all of them are involved."

James McAvoy chimed in, "There's one that Matthew never had."

Michael Fassbender knew, "Matthew, you should try black girls, their skin is as smooth as top silk."

Matthew was instantly defeated, "I can't bear it."

I heard these two guys mentioned frequently before, and he also thought about this. Hollywood is not without black women who look very pleasing to the eye, such as Halle Berry, and there seem to be black supermodels among the Victoria's Secret Angels.

But seeing the dark skin in the field, this thought disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Even if he likes logging and the forest is vast, it doesn't mean that he has to cut down even charred trees.

The three of them got together and murmured about the topic of women. Michael Fassbender turned to Chongo, and with Matthew and James McAvoy, he didn't have to be polite and said directly, "Oscar votes are all issued. Go down, you have to mobilize the surrounding academy members to vote for me."

Matthew responded immediately, "No problem." He sighed again, "Unfortunately this is Oscar."

Otherwise, maybe he can help Michael Fassbender more, but Oscar, his influence is very low.

It's not that he didn't think about doing Harvey Weinstein's "The Artist", so that Michael Fassbender's chances of getting nominations will definitely increase, but he is sober enough that in the Oscars, he is like Harvey Weinstein. Ernstein was far behind.

Oscar is not his sphere of influence after all.

Harvey Weinstein continues to dance at the Oscars, and it won't be long after this Oscar.

Although it did not have much influence on the Oscars, Matthew still did not give up completely, and asked Helen Herman to contact the media and released a lot of negative news about the film "The Artist".

In particular, Irina Boyar is known to hype the concept of "The Artist" as a dull and boring black and white silent film through popular websites such as TMZ.

Matthew's purpose is very simple. If you want to win the Oscar, I really don't have a good way, but the purpose of your Oscar is to obtain more box office and other commercial income, and to form potential audiences through the media. Preconceived notions ~www.readwn.com~ may dissuade many people from buying or buying discs to watch.

The failure of a big-budget project could also make people inside Weinstein Studios question Harvey Weinstein's decision.

This is also helping Bob Weinstein from the side.

After such a long operation, Matthew can see clearly that the Weinstein brothers are definitely not monolithic. Maybe Harvey Weinstein always thought that the weaker brother would stand firmly behind him, but Bob- Weinstein had long wanted to be on stage.

The work on Amanda's side has progressed rapidly in the past six months, and Bob Weinstein is no longer willing to hide behind Harvey Weinstein's younger brother.

However, Ronan-Farrow still needs time to collect more evidence and witnesses.

Matthew also pulled David Ellison into the group he formed secretly. David Ellison can provide both financial support and help connect the media that has a partnership with Oracle, which is definitely a big boost.

The filming of "American Sniper" was going on at the same time, and the filming of the crew began to fragment, often shooting on the streets of Los Angeles today, and moving to the beach in Santa Monica tomorrow, and the number of scenes belonging to Matthew was gradually decreasing.

In addition, Chris Kyle will come to the crew from time to time. Whether it is Matthew's preference for a tough and determined style, or the related scenes set by the crew, he is very satisfied with this prototype character.

When interviewed by relevant media, Chris Kyle was full of praise for Matthew's treatment of the crew, and praised them for restoring a real self.

The crew is also using Chris Kyle for publicity, and such a sniper is still easy to be fired in contemporary times.

At the end of January, the latest news about Eddie Routh came in, and the perpetrator finally made his way to the trial court.
